Kagome was sitting on her bed pondering what she wanted to do. Hojo had asked her out for Saturday night. She told him she would have to check her schedule, but really She wasn't sure she wanted to go out with him. He was nice enough, and kind of cute too. She just didn't feel any chemistry between them.

She knew who she really wanted to go out with. Unfortunately, he hasn't given any indication he felt the same way about her. Her friends incubated her to talk to him about how she felt, but she wasn't willing to lose his friendship by pushing into something he wasn't comfortable with. If only she knew he wanted to be more than friends.

No, she wasn't supposed to be thinking about Inuyasha. She was supposed to be thinking about Hojo right now. Maybe She would give him a chance. Maybe if she actually focused on him, she would get that warm tingly feeling of love. If not, what would one date hurt? If it was horrible she wouldn't have to repeat the date.

Making up her mind to give Hojo a chance, Kagome got off her bed and went to join her friends in the living room.

"She lives, it's not just a rumor," joked Sango. "Does this mean you've made up your mind? Please tell me you're decision odds to finally tell Inuyasha how you feel so you can both live happily ever after."

"I've decided to give Hojo a chance."

Sango and Rin gave each other a look. Rin shrugged and rolled her eyes. "Well, maybe this will get Inuyasha to finally make a move, if He gets jealous enough."

Kagome rolled her eyes and picked up the phone to call Hojo and accept his offer.

A/N: So, the good news is my story really starts to focus more on the relationship on Inuyasha and Kagome now, because we all know that's what I really want... The bad news (for you people) is that starting Feb. 21 (next Tuesday) the school where I work is starting a three week long read-a-thon. Because I absolutely LOVE to read, and I'm a very competitive person, I have decided that I MUST win this thing. Therefore, I will try to write several chapters this weekend, so I can post several times over the next month. However, if I don't get a lot written before Tuesday, my updates may not be as frequent as you like.

Oh, and I didn't have anyone comment on the Cinderella story I'm working on, so I have decided not to post it until I am done with this story. I like that idea better anyways. I'm working really hard on that story, and I don't want to feel rushed.

Until next time!
