Scientific Method
Chapter 43
Kagome was a nervous mess. More than two week passed since she started hanging out with Hojo. He was a gentleman, in every aspect. He laughed honestly and his advances were charming. He never disrespected her or treated her badly like the inu-brothers. It was…refreshing.
This was what 'dating' a human was like. Well, they weren't actually dating, but….it was close. In fact, as time went on she started liking the idea. Most of her friends wanted a hot, rough and passionate love, but she had her share for a lifetime. She was ready to settle down with a nice, warm and kind man who loved her for real.
She was ready to accept such a fate.
So, with fingers knotted together nervously she tried… "Hojo."
He laughed at her, "Why are you…so nervous Kagome?"
Kagome bit her lips, but she wasn't about to give up, "Would you…would you date me?"
Time stopped around them and they both stared at each other with blatant surprise. Hojo was the first to react, almost a full minute later, "Ka…Kagome…"
"I'm sorry! This was so forward and I…I'm not the kind of girl that-"
"I can't," he cut her with a sad face, "I'm….engaged…to someone else. I'm sorry."
She froze; Hojo…doesn't want me either? Then she cried.
To be continued...
