Chapter Nineteen: Yumyum Cliffhanger

Day: Friday

Place: Cafeteria

Time: 11:00 A.M.

The week progressed by well with the reading. Inuyasha and Kagome were feeling a lot more confident about finishing the books in time. Since Inuyasha had grown 'attached' to the black dog in the book, he was enjoying the book even more.

But then during Friday's lunch, something Kagome wasn't planning on happened. As she started to walk into the cafeteria with her friends, she saw Inuyasha motioning for her to come over.

Kagome went over to him while her friend's oblivious of her absence kept going inside. "Hi. What is it?"

Inuyasha smiled. "When's your next class?"

Kagome looked at her watch. "In about an hour and a half. Why?"

Inuyasha looked both ways before giving her a nod. "Come on."

Kagome just shrugged as she followed him out to his car. "Where are we going?" she asked as she got in.

Inuyasha smirked as he got in. 'Doesn't matter what she says. It still plagues my brain I haven't paid her back yet!' "You are eating lunch with me."

Kagome groaned. "Inuyasha, I'm REALLY not in the mood for Ramen right now."

Inuyasha put on his seat belt. "It's not Ramen. Trust me, you'll like it."

Kagome just shrugged her shoulders as she put on her own seatbelt and they took off to who knows where.

Day: Friday

Place: Cafeteria

Time: 11:10 A.M.

Hojo frowned as he looked at the empty seat. "Where's Inuyasha? He always eats lunch with us."

Miroku shrugged. "Perhaps he had other thigs to do today?"

Both their pair of eyes showed disbelief of that statement as they looked over at the ladies' table and realized Kagome had been missing too."

"Perhaps they're…" Miroku tried to watch his words. "…reading?"

Hojo gave a soft growl. "That little…"

"They were very behind." Miroku added/ "What with getting everything ready for the wedding, it must be putting a strain on Kagome."

Hojo glared at Miroku.

Miroku looked at Hojo strangely. "What?"

"What strain?" Hojo mumbled. "She hasn't done anything by herself. She hasn't even looked at dresses."

Miroku decided then and there it was time to shut up.

Day: Friday

Place: Yumyum

Time: 11:20 A.M.

Kagome looked at the menu. "Wow. This place is kinda nice."

Inuyasha looked at his own menu. "Yeah. Not like a restaurant, but better than fast food. Just a little place I ran into about a year ago."

Kagome smiled. "This is still really sweet of you though."

"Don't worry about it." Inuyasha replied. "How about grilled cheeses?"

Kagome could barely contain her happiness. "Yes! Can I have the special with chips and an extra grilled cheese?"

"Mmmm…sure, yeah." Inuyasha agreed. "Don't get used to this though, I'm not gonna spoil ya." Inuyasha replied. "Ooh!"he turned his menu around so Kagome could see the front cover. "Look at that!"

Kagome's eyes grew. "That looks kinda big."

"It sure is." A waitress smiled as she passed by. "It's a called a jolly jumbo shake. She went over to the counter and grabbed a HUGE parfait glass. "It's really big, and it usually takes more than one person to handle it. That's why it's doubled in price."

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome. "Hey kitten, wanna split it?"

"Mmmm…a huge milkshake?" Kagome teased. "Didn't you say you weren't gonna spoil me?"

Inuyasha waved it off. "All right, one last time. I just want to try it. Besides, it's pay day."

"The day to spoil yourself?" Kagome chuckled.

"Exactly." He winked at her before calling the waitress over. "Hey baby!"

Kagome kicked his foot under the table. "Inuyasha!" she harshly whispered.

Inuyasha groaned as the displeased waitress came over.

"What." She mumbled.

"Excuse me, miss." Inuyasha corrected himself as he looked at the displeased Kagome. "This little kitty and I are ready to order."

"Wonderful." The waitress replied, perking up a little.

"2 grilled cheese specials and one jolly jumbo shake thingy."

The waitress smiled knowingly. "I take it your sharing with this lady?" she said smiling at Kagome.

Kagome blushed a little.

Inuyasha made a shooing motion. "Yeah, hop to it already."

The waitress humphed as she took off.

Day: Friday

Place: At the corner of Yumyum

Time: 11:30 A.M.

Kouga whistled to himself as he drove. He stopped at the small red light in front of him, when he glanced out his window.

He couldn't believe his eyes! Kagome could be seen through a small window, sipping on something. Oh, she was smiling brighter than the noonday sun. He took a left and quickly parked. He got out and checked himself in the mirror.

'Kagome may be getting married, but she isn't Fukazawa's yet. If I play my cards right, perhaps I still have a chance?'

Kouga entered Yumyum's, intending to find just Kagome. But instead, he saw Kagome smiling at that foul Inuyasha. Not only that, the scoundrel was sipping a milkshake with her!
