Wedding dresses and gifts
"Did you pick a date yet?" Sango asked. She sat on a black chair while Rin was inside the fitting room. Kagome sat next to her talking on the cell phone, no doubt probably Inuyasha.
"Not yet. We still have to talk about that. But he said I can choose the date as long as it don't take 5 years." Rin chuckled from the fitting room.
"Are you almost done?" Kagome asked after she hung up her cell phone.
"Yeah. Hold on I'm coming. Man, who knew these dresses take forever to put on." Rin said stepping outside the room.
"Rin! That's so beautiful!" Sango jumped up.
"It is! I love that dress!" Kagome squealed.
"This is it. I love this one." Rin smiled brightly. She turned around in a circle showing off her dress. It was a long white halter v-neck dress satin, A-line gown, with a beaded lace bodice and lace-up, split back. She also wore a fingertip length veil with Tri-pearl clusters. (if u want to see the dress, the link is on my profile. u can also see the shoes and jewelry.)
"Then let's get it! It looks beautiful on you." Kagome said.
Rin nodded and turned back around to get out of the dress and back into her normal clothes. Once she was done she came back out with the dress and they went to the cash register.
"Why don't you just leave it here. Let's go look for some shoes." Kagome said. Rin left the dress on a hanger by the register and was dragged away by Kagome and Sango towards the shoes. After about an hour of trying to many different types of shoes, Rin finally made a decision. They were plain but nice. Two-inch platform sandals with satin straps. Now that the dress and shoes were picked out, she only needed some jewelry. Of course, you can't wear a dress without a breathtaking necklace right? All three went to the jewelry section and made quick work of picking out a beautiful crystal earings and necklace set.
Once they were done with that, they brought everything to the cashier and got ready to pay. Rin brought out a Platnium credit card that Sesshomaru gave her to buy her dress and etc.
"Ok, the dress is 700." The cashier stopped to look at Rin.(put dollar signs in front of the numbers cuz my dollar thingy aint working -.-)
"That's fine." She said.
"The shoes will be 150."
"Ok."
"The necklace and earings set are 500."
"Right."
"Alright. Total comes out to be 2,025." (i dunno if i did the math right. the total is really 1350 but tax is 5 (percent), so i dunno. oh well...dont blame me cuz my moms bf told me to multiply!)
Rin handed over the credit card and soon they all left the store. Rin dropped the bags in Kagome's car and they got in to go to another store. Fifthteen minutes passed by until they reached another store about 10 blocks away.
They ran inside and started picking out many different types of dresses. Rin decided what both Kagome and Sango would be her bridesmaids. Sakura, Rin's younger cousin was going to be the flower girl. Another hour later they picked out a lilac satin A-line dress with a chiffon sash at the waist for the bridesmaid dress. The shoes they picked out were also lilac, open toed predyed sandals. For the flower girl Rin picked out a white satin side drape dress with a lace underskirt along with white dyeable satin Whitney shoes.
After getting all the stuff ready Rin brought out her platnium card again to pay for the rest of the stuff. All together the bridesmaids dresses and the flower girl dress etc. came out to be a total of 2,235.
"Wow. You spent a lot of money Rin." Kagome said as they walked out of the store.
"Sesshy said I can spend as much as I want. He said it's my wedding." She shrugged and put the bags in the trunk.
"Right! But still you spent more than 5,000. Wow." Sango said.
"I hope Inuyasha let's me spend that much if we ever get married." Kagome smiled.
Rin and Sango looked at eachother and smiled. "So, you wanna marry Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
Kagome blushed and realized what she had said. "Uh...I-I never said that."
"Oh. Sure you did. Just now. Besides you know he's gonna propose sooner or later. You guys are meant for eachother." Rin said. Sango laughed as Kagomes blush deepend. They got in the car while Kagome turned on the ignition still a dark shade of red.
"I don't think so. I mean...I'm too young to marry! Why am I even thinking about that?" Kagome shook her head. Rin and Sango laughed harder while Kagome blushed a deeper shade of red if possible. A loud thrill interrupted the laughing and Kagome reached in her purse to get her cell phone. She groaned when she regonized the phone number on the caller ID. How could she not? He'd been calling her all day to 'check up' on her. She flipped her cell open and sighed. "Yes Inuyasha. I'm still alive. No near car crashes. No guy jumping out of the bush to rape me. No guy broke in my car and held a gun to my head. And as you can see I'm talking and alive."
"Well gee. Sorry for being a concerned boyfriend." He said over the phone sarcastically. "What you doing?"
"About to drive back home. I think we're done shopping for today. It's getting late anyways."
"Alright. Sessh got his tux and shit. And he called up the caterer person and he called up some other person to make the invitations. You know if Rin make up her mind for a date?"
"I don't know. Let me ask her." She put her hand over the phone. "Hey Rin. Inuyasha wants to know if you made your decision for the date of the wedding." Kagome asked as she backed out of the parking space. Rin took the phone from her hands to talk with Inuyasha. Kagome ignored her and kept her eyes on the road.
"Hey Inu." Rin said.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Ok, um...tell Sesshy that August 11 is a good date."
"Alright. What's Kagome doing?" He asked.
"Driving. Don't worry she ain't gonna crash. OMG! Kagome watch out!" Rin yelled.
"What? What happen? Rin? Are you gu-"
"What?" Rin asked grinning. Kagome reached back and took the phone from her. "What? It was funny! You should've heard him!" She laughed. Sango also laughed and high fived Rin.
"You guys are horrible." She brought the phone to her ear. "Inuyasha."
"Kagome? Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked trying to hide the panic in his voice but it didn't work.
"I'm fine Inuyasha. Rin was just joking." She sighed. "I'll be home soon ok?"
"Whatever." He growled. "Just wait till ya'll get home. That aint funny Rin!" He yelled as Kagome brought the phone away from her ear. Rin and Sango just burst out laughing again. "Bye Inuyasha." She didn't give him time to say anything as she hung up and dropped the phone back in her purse.
"Kagome, you have to admit. That was hilarious." Sango giggled.
"I guess. But still, you know how worried he gets about nothing." She said. Rin looked a little guilty and Kagome felt bad. "It was funny though." She smiled and giggled a little. So did Rin and Sango.
-A week later-
Inuyasha walked in the front door coming back from the gym and winced as the smell of orange windex spray hit him hard. 'What is she doing in here?' He asked himself dropping his car keys on the table next to the door. He followed Kagomes scent to the kitchen and froze in the doorway.
Dancing slightly with the radio turned on, on the kitchen table, she moved her hips from side to side, wiping off the counters with a sponge and the windex cleaner bottle in her other hand. Inuyasha watched her as she sprayed some windex on the electric stove and wiped it off. She finally dropped the sponge in the sink and turned around to put away the windex. She gasped once she saw Inuyasha leaning on the doorway, eyes full of lust and desire.
She lowered the music on the radio and stared at him. "Uh...how long have you been standing there?" She asked looking away from his gaze.
"Long enough." He said walking towards her. "You know...Sessh and Rin are gone for today..." He said wrapping his arms around her and pushing her back until she reached the counter. Gently he picked her up and sat her ontop the kitchen counters as his lips sought out hers. Her eyes fluttered close and she nibbled on his bottom lip. He deepeaned the kiss and pulled her closer to him. Hands roaming eachothers body, his hands going under her shirt to rub her back as she slowly, hesitantly unbuttoned his shirt. She moaned as his other hand grabbed her breast making her arch her back closer to him.
"You know, if ya'll want to have sex go ahead, but at least do it in a more decent place like your room."
Inuyasha and Kagome jumped apart at the sudden voice. Inuyasha growled as Kagome leaned her forehead against his chest. "Dammit Miroku. How'd you get in here?"
"There's a new invention called a door. You should try it. It'll get you places." He said stepping into the kitchen.
"Damn you. What do you want?" He grumbled leaning away from Kagome and pulling her down off the counter.
"Nothing. Just got bored. You got any drinks? We ran out and all we got is milk. Oh Kagome, Sango wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping for a wedding gift for Rin. By the way, nice shade of red you got there. It fits you perfectly." He smiled.
Kagome decided to ignore that. "Where's Sango?" She asked instead.
"Oh, she's at my house getting dressed." He said with a perverted grin. Kagome glared at him and started walking towards the door. "Well, actually she's on her way over here. She's at her house." Kagome shook her head and went to wait in the living room. Inuyasha moved from the counter and reached in his fridge to get some coke. Tossing one over to Miroku, he closed the fridge and headed to the living room. "Oh sure. Leave me here in the kitchen." Miroku mumbled and walked after him. When he got to the living room he noticed Sango had arrived and was now laughing at something Kagome said. She sat on the la-z-boy recliner while Inuyasha and Kagome sat on the two seated love seat couch. Gazing at her for a while he slowly walked over to the recliner and grabbed her wrist. She smiled and him then looked at him confused. Tugging on her wrist until she stood up, he sat on the recliner and brought her onto his lap. She rolled her eyes but didn't protest. And before he even had any time to enjoy her body on him, he heard Inuyasha stand up and call him to the kitchen. Groaning quietly as Sango got off his lap to sit next to Kagome, he followed his best friend to the kitchen. Noticing the distress on Inuyashas face he grew concerned and sat down at the table across from Inuyasha. "What's up?"
It took him a while to answer. Opening and closing his mouth a couple times, trying to figure out how to put this into words. Finally he glanced up at Miroku and sighed. "I got another letter from NYU. They're waiting for me to accept or turn it down." He said.
Miroku leaned back in his chair and blew out his cheeks. "Man. Guess they really want you over there, huh?" Inuyasha shrugged. "And you haven't told Kagome yet?"
"No. That's the thing. I don't know how to tell her." Inuyasha groaned and propped his elbows on the table. Dropping his forehead on his hands he sighed loudly. "This is fucking bull shit."
Miroku started at the top of his head, a thoughtful frown on his face. "Do you want to go to NYU?"
Inuyasha shrugged not lifting up his head. "I don't know. Damn, I mean, it's a great school. I could get a good education and probably get a job like a doctor or some shit. I just don't know how I'm gonna tell this to Kagome. She...I told her we would be together...even through college."
"Damn. You shouldn't have said that." Miroku shook his head then leaned forward. "Alright. Listen. What you need to do first is make up your mind if you're going or not. 'Cuz if you aint going then there aint no point in telling her. But if you are going, then you need to tell her before it's to late and she finds those on her own." He said nudging his head towards the letter on the table.
"Yeah. I guess...I don't know. Think NYU is good enough?" He asked.
Just as Miroku opened his mouth to reply he stopped when he saw Kagome and Sango run into the kitchen with their purses and car keys. The guys watched them go by as they made their way to the door to the garage.
"Wait!" Inuyasha yelled making both girls stop in their places, just inches from the door.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kagome asked not turning away from the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked standing up to glower at her.
Kagome rolled her eyes and adjusted her back on her shoulder. "We're going to the mall to get Rin a wedding present. You can come if you want but I thought you didn't like going shopping with us." She said.
"Uh...No. Just don't stay out to long. I gotta talk to you later...'bout something." He said looking at her straight in the eyes.
She looked at him confused at first then she just nodded and smiled reassuringly though she was kinda of nervous about what he needed to talk to her about. "Ok. I'll be back by..." She paused to look at her watch. "...7 'o' clock?"
He nodded. "Yeah." He watched her as she disappeared through the door and stood there as he heard the car engine turn on then the garage door open as the car drove away. "Damn. I don't know how I'm gonna tell her." He grumbled and turned around. "I guess I'll just tell her I got accepted and see what she thinks about it." He shrugged.
"Sure I guess. Good luck man." Miroku said and stood up to go back to the living room. Inuyasha followed him and they sat down on the couch to watch their all time favorite show: a soap opera.
-Kagome and Sango-
Kagome glanced at Sango. Since they been in the car she's been quiet and looked in deep thought. "Hey. What's up?" She asked breaking the silence.
Sango blinked and looked at her then at the road straight ahead. "Nothing."
"Do you have any idea what Inuyasha wants to talk to me about?" Kagome asked as she pulled up into a parking space. She turned off the car and took the keys out. Sango opened her door and got out too. They started walking towards the mall. "Well...?"
"Oh sorry. Forgot. I don't know what he would want to talk to you about." Sango shrugged. They entered the mall and went to the wedding store. "Hey, didn't Rin say something about Sessh buying a house for them?"
"Yeah I think so." Kagome said looking at the albums.
"I don't think he'd want to be living in the same house as his brother now that he's getting married." Sango said.
"I don't think anybody would want to live with Inuyasha period." Kagome grinned as Sango laughed.
"Yeah right. You sure do. And now that Sessh is gonna be gone you got the house all for yourself and Inu." She winked making Kagome blush.
"What do you think about this?" Kagome asked eyeing the silver heart shaped photo album.
"That's nice. It's real pretty. How much?" Sango asked picking it up and turning it upside down to read the price tag. "Wow. 55 for a photo album?"
"That's...not much. I like it." Kagome said taking it out of Sango's hands and started walking to the register.
"But it's more than 50." She said following her.
"By 5. Besides Inuyasha gave me a credit card and there's more than enough money in there." She went to the register not needing to stand in line since no one was there. Giving the cashier the credit card she payed for it and took the bag. "You gonna get her anything?"
"Yeah. Come on. I saw something over there." She pointed to the back part of the store. Grabbing Kagomes arm she dragged her over to candles section stopping right in front of a vanilla candle set of nine wrapped in pink plastic and ribbons, sittin in a white basket. "I like that. You know how much Rin loves candles and vanilla is her favorite scent."
"True. I like that." Kagome nodded.
"They gonna need some candles on their honeymoon anyways." Sango smirked. Kagome laughed and playfully hit her arm.
"I'm starting to think Miroku is rubbing off on you."
"Yeah right. Anyways, I'm getting this. It's about 40." Kagome nodded again and followed Sango back to the register. She payed for the candle set and they left the store.
Kagome checked her watch. She still had one more hour left. Inuyasha's words came back to her. "...I gotta talk to you later...'bout something." About what? She'd been thinking about it since they left and was kind of scared to go home. What was so important that he needed to talk to her about? He seemed pretty nervous about it too.
"Earth to Kagome!" Sango's voice invaded her thoughts. She blinked and looked at her.
"Oh sorry. Just thinking." She said. "What's up?"
"I was wondering when you wanted to go back."
"Oh not yet. Let's go to Borders. I wanna get a book to read." Kagome said making a left as Sango followed. They reached Borders and went inside. It took a while until Kagome found a book that when they were done she had 10 minutes to get back on time. Sango had gotten some mangas and Kagome got a romance book called "If You Dare." They quickly went back to the car and Kagome drove back home enough to be 15 minutes late. Miroku left with Sango and Kagome put her bags away once in her room.
Kagome looked away when Inuyasha walked out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. He changed quick into just a pair of Scooby Doo boxers that Kagome thought were cute. She took a quick 10 minute shower and changed into her p.j's - a pair of boyshorts and a tanktop - then sat on the bed waiting for the talk that Inuyasha said they needed to have. He was already watching t.v., leaning back on the headboard with the covers brought up to his waist.
Kagome fidgeted around with her hands nervously and glanced up at him. He also looked nervous slightly but he tried to avoid her gaze. She sighed and closed her eyes. "Inuyasha? What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked finally.
She didn't notice as he winced slightly and leaned froward. "Ok. Kagome..."
"Yeah...?" She asked opening her eyes to look at him. He was gazing at her also and she had to look away.
"You got accepted into TU right?" He asked slowly.
"Yeah. So did you...right?"
He nodded. "I did..."
"But?"
"But..." He glanced down at the covers and stifled a sigh. "I also got accepted..." Man, this was harder than it looked. 'Just say it and get it over with baka!' He mentally yelled at himself. Groaning as he sat up straighter then slouched his shoulders, he blurted it out. "I got accepted into NYU."
Chapter 28
Wedding dresses and gifts
"Did you pick a date yet?" Sango asked. She sat on a black chair while Rin was inside the fitting room. Kagome sat next to her talking on the cell phone, no doubt probably Inuyasha.
"Not yet. We still have to talk about that. But he said I can choose the date as long as it don't take 5 years." Rin chuckled from the fitting room.
"Are you almost done?" Kagome asked after she hung up her cell phone.
"Yeah. Hold on I'm coming. Man, who knew these dresses take forever to put on." Rin said stepping outside the room.
"Rin! That's so beautiful!" Sango jumped up.
"It is! I love that dress!" Kagome squealed.
"This is it. I love this one." Rin smiled brightly. She turned around in a circle showing off her dress. It was a long white halter v-neck dress satin, A-line gown, with a beaded lace bodice and lace-up, split back. She also wore a fingertip length veil with Tri-pearl clusters. (if u want to see the dress, the link is on my profile. u can also see the shoes and jewelry.)
"Then let's get it! It looks beautiful on you." Kagome said.
Rin nodded and turned back around to get out of the dress and back into her normal clothes. Once she was done she came back out with the dress and they went to the cash register.
"Why don't you just leave it here. Let's go look for some shoes." Kagome said. Rin left the dress on a hanger by the register and was dragged away by Kagome and Sango towards the shoes. After about an hour of trying to many different types of shoes, Rin finally made a decision. They were plain but nice. Two-inch platform sandals with satin straps. Now that the dress and shoes were picked out, she only needed some jewelry. Of course, you can't wear a dress without a breathtaking necklace right? All three went to the jewelry section and made quick work of picking out a beautiful crystal earings and necklace set.
Once they were done with that, they brought everything to the cashier and got ready to pay. Rin brought out a Platnium credit card that Sesshomaru gave her to buy her dress and etc.
"Ok, the dress is 700." The cashier stopped to look at Rin.(put dollar signs in front of the numbers cuz my dollar thingy aint working -.-)
"That's fine." She said.
"The shoes will be 150."
"Ok."
"The necklace and earings set are 500."
"Right."
"Alright. Total comes out to be 2,025." (i dunno if i did the math right. the total is really 1350 but tax is 5 (percent), so i dunno. oh well...dont blame me cuz my moms bf told me to multiply!)
Rin handed over the credit card and soon they all left the store. Rin dropped the bags in Kagome's car and they got in to go to another store. Fifthteen minutes passed by until they reached another store about 10 blocks away.
They ran inside and started picking out many different types of dresses. Rin decided what both Kagome and Sango would be her bridesmaids. Sakura, Rin's younger cousin was going to be the flower girl. Another hour later they picked out a lilac satin A-line dress with a chiffon sash at the waist for the bridesmaid dress. The shoes they picked out were also lilac, open toed predyed sandals. For the flower girl Rin picked out a white satin side drape dress with a lace underskirt along with white dyeable satin Whitney shoes.
After getting all the stuff ready Rin brought out her platnium card again to pay for the rest of the stuff. All together the bridesmaids dresses and the flower girl dress etc. came out to be a total of 2,235.
"Wow. You spent a lot of money Rin." Kagome said as they walked out of the store.
"Sesshy said I can spend as much as I want. He said it's my wedding." She shrugged and put the bags in the trunk.
"Right! But still you spent more than 5,000. Wow." Sango said.
"I hope Inuyasha let's me spend that much if we ever get married." Kagome smiled.
Rin and Sango looked at eachother and smiled. "So, you wanna marry Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
Kagome blushed and realized what she had said. "Uh...I-I never said that."
"Oh. Sure you did. Just now. Besides you know he's gonna propose sooner or later. You guys are meant for eachother." Rin said. Sango laughed as Kagomes blush deepend. They got in the car while Kagome turned on the ignition still a dark shade of red.
"I don't think so. I mean...I'm too young to marry! Why am I even thinking about that?" Kagome shook her head. Rin and Sango laughed harder while Kagome blushed a deeper shade of red if possible. A loud thrill interrupted the laughing and Kagome reached in her purse to get her cell phone. She groaned when she regonized the phone number on the caller ID. How could she not?

"Hey Inu." Rin said.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Ok, um...tell Sesshy that August 11 is a good date."
"Alright. What's Kagome doing?" He asked.
"Driving. Don't worry she ain't gonna crash. OMG! Kagome watch out!" Rin yelled.
"What? What happen? Rin? Are you gu-"
"What?" Rin asked grinning. Kagome reached back and took the phone from her. "What? It was funny! You should've heard him!" She laughed. Sango also laughed and high fived Rin.

It took him a while to answer. Opening and closing his mouth a couple times, trying to figure out how to put this into words. Finally he glanced up at Miroku and sighed. "I got another letter from NYU. They're waiting for me to accept or turn it down." He said.
Miroku leaned back in his chair and blew out his cheeks. "Man. Guess they really want you over there, huh?" Inuyasha shrugged. "And you haven't told Kagome yet?"

He said nudging his head towards the letter on the table.
"Yeah. I guess...I don't know. Think NYU is good enough?" He asked.
Just as Miroku opened his mouth to reply he stopped when he saw Kagome and Sango run into the kitchen with their purses and car keys. The guys watched them go by as they made their way to the door to the garage.
"Wait!" Inuyasha yelled making both girls stop in their places, just inches from the door.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kagome asked not turning away from the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked standing up to glower at her.
Kagome rolled her eyes and adjusted her back on her shoulder. "We're going to the mall to get Rin a wedding present. You can come if you want but I thought you didn't like going shopping with us." She said.
"Uh...No. Just don't stay out to long. I gotta talk to you later...'bout something." He said looking at her straight in the eyes.
She looked at him confused at first then she just nodded and smiled reassuringly though she was kinda of nervous about what he needed to talk to her about. "Ok. I'll be back by..." She paused to look at her watch. "...7 'o' clock?"
He nodded. "Yeah." He watched her as she disappeared through the door and stood there as he heard the car engine turn on then the garage door open as the car drove away. "Damn. I don't know how I'm gonna tell her." He grumbled and turned around. "I guess I'll just tell her I got accepted and see what she thinks about it." He shrugged.
"Sure I guess. Good luck man." Miroku said and stood up to go back to the living room. Inuyasha followed him and they sat down on the couch to watch their all time favorite show: a soap opera.
-Kagome and Sango-
Kagome glanced at Sango. Since they been in the car she's been quiet and looked in deep thought. "Hey. What's up?" She asked breaking the silence.
Sango blinked and looked at her then at the road straight ahead. "Nothing."
"Do you have any idea what Inuyasha wants to talk to me about?" Kagome asked as she pulled up into a parking space. She turned off the car and took the keys out. Sango opened her door and got out too. They started walking towards the mall. "Well...?"
"Oh sorry. Forgot. I don't know what he would want to talk to you about." Sango shrugged. They entered the mall and went to the wedding store. "Hey, didn't Rin say something about Sessh buying a house for them?"
"Yeah I think so." Kagome said looking at the albums.
"I don't think he'd want to be living in the same house as his brother now that he's getting married." Sango said.
"I don't think anybody would want to live with Inuyasha period." Kagome grinned as Sango laughed.
"Yeah right. You sure do. And now that Sessh is gonna be gone you got the house all for yourself and Inu." She winked making Kagome blush.
"What do you think about this?" Kagome asked eyeing the silver heart shaped photo album.
"That's nice. It's real pretty. How much?" Sango asked picking it up and turning it upside down to read the price tag. "Wow. 55 for a photo album?"
"That's...not much. I like it." Kagome said taking it out of Sango's hands and started walking to the register.
"But it's more than 50." She said following her.
"By 5. Besides Inuyasha gave me a credit card and there's more than enough money in there." She went to the register not needing to stand in line since no one was there. Giving the cashier the credit card she payed for it and took the bag. "You gonna get her anything?"
"Yeah. Come on. I saw something over there." She pointed to the back part of the store. Grabbing Kagomes arm she dragged her over to candles section stopping right in front of a vanilla candle set of nine wrapped in pink plastic and ribbons, sittin in a white basket. "I like that. You know how much Rin loves candles and vanilla is her favorite scent."
"True. I like that." Kagome nodded.
"They gonna need some candles on their honeymoon anyways." Sango smirked. Kagome laughed and playfully hit her arm.
"I'm starting to think Miroku is rubbing off on you."
"Yeah right. Anyways, I'm getting this. It's about 40." Kagome nodded again and followed Sango back to the register. She payed for the candle set and they left the store.
Kagome checked her watch. She still had one more hour left. Inuyasha's words came back to her. "...I gotta talk to you later...'bout something." About what? She'd been thinking about it since they left and was kind of scared to go home. What was so important that he needed to talk to her about? He seemed pretty nervous about it too.
"Earth to Kagome!" Sango's voice invaded her thoughts. She blinked and looked at her.
"Oh sorry. Just thinking." She said. "What's up?"
"I was wondering when you wanted to go back."
"Oh not yet. Let's go to Borders. I wanna get a book to read." Kagome said making a left as Sango followed. They reached Borders and went inside. It took a while until Kagome found a book that when they were done she had 10 minutes to get back on time. Sango had gotten some mangas and Kagome got a romance book called "If You Dare." They quickly went back to the car and Kagome drove back home enough to be 15 minutes late. Miroku left with Sango and Kagome put her bags away once in her room.
Kagome looked away when Inuyasha walked out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. He changed quick into just a pair of Scooby Doo boxers that Kagome thought were cute. She took a quick 10 minute shower and changed into her p.j's - a pair of boyshorts and a tanktop - then sat on the bed waiting for the talk that Inuyasha said they needed to have. He was already watching t.v., leaning back on the headboard with the covers brought up to his waist.
Kagome fidgeted around with her hands nervously and glanced up at him. He also looked nervous slightly but he tried to avoid her gaze. She sighed and closed her eyes. "Inuyasha? What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked finally.
She didn't notice as he winced slightly and leaned froward. "Ok. Kagome..."
"Yeah...?" She asked opening her eyes to look at him. He was gazing at her also and she had to look away.
"You got accepted into TU right?" He asked slowly.
"Yeah. So did you...right?"
He nodded. "I did..."
"But?"
"But..." He glanced down at the covers and stifled a sigh. "I also got accepted..." Man, this was harder than it looked. 'Just say it and get it over with baka!' He mentally yelled at himself. Groaning as he sat up straighter then slouched his shoulders, he blurted it out. "I got accepted into NYU."
