Hojo smiled to himself as he gathered his things. He was so excited to be dating Kagome Higurashi! Sure, it was new, and maybe they hadn't made it "official", whatever that means. It didn't matter. She had invited him to spend time with her and her friends. When he'd first noticed her on campus she was surrounded by a group of people. They were all laughing and having fun together. He hadn't really glanced at the others in the group because she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, but as he'd watched her trying to get his nerve up to talk to her, he'd noticed she was always with the same 4 people. Sure, there were others that might come and talk to them, but it was almost as if the 5 of them made one person. He'd asked around a bit to see if Kagome was available and what the deal was with her and her friends. He was happy to learn Kagome was single and the group of friends was as close to her as any family. Which brought him to the conclusion that if he had been invited to spend time with her and her family, that must mean he's in!
Hojo faltered a little bit when he thought of Inuyasha being the one to help him with his studying, but he would get over it if that meant he could spend time with Kagome. Thinking of Kagome's face as she smiled and invited him to the study group perked him up again and he smiled as he loaded things into the basket on his bicycle. He let his thoughts of Inuyasha drift away to nothingness as he daydreamed about himself and Kagome being together.
He decided she was the type of girl he would want to marry. They would be so happy together with their 10 children. Yes, they would have at least 10 children. All of them strong healthy boys. Well, he MIGHT let one of them be a girl, so Kagome would have someone to dress up and tell secrets to. Yes, nine boys and one girl would be perfect. Of course, Kagome would stay home and take care of the children while he went to work to provide for his family. He would make sure Kagome changed her studies to more classes like gardening and things that would help taking care of a family as soon as they were a couple. There was no reason she would need to spend more time causing herself wrinkles OR studying with that guy.
Hojo was so deep in thought about Kagome, their ten children and the future he almost rode right pass the house. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Kagome calling his name.
"Hojo, come on back. We're just finishing getting things set up back here," Kagome called out to Hojo. "I'll introduce you to everyone."
"Sure, that would be great, but is there somewhere I can put this ice cream, so it doesn't melt before we're ready to eat it?" he asked.
Kagome showed Hojo the way to the freezer, so he could put the ice cream away. Then she took him out back where everyone was sitting at the table waiting for the two. "Hojo I want you to meet my friends. This is Miroku, Sango, Rin and Inuyasha. Everyone, this is Hojo." Kagome motioned for Hojo to take a seat next to her as her friends all called out greetings to him.
A/N Haha could anyone imagine Kagome actually letting Hojo's ideas happen? I shudder to think what would've happened to him if she knew his thoughts.
