Chapter 8: The Date and the Blackout

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miroku slapped his friend on the back a smile creeping across his face. “Here I thought you'd never get around to asking her out.” Inuyasha growled.

 

“Keh, why were so sure I would?” he slapped a shot full of beer down on the bar and slid it over to a man sitting there, already half blind from so many drinks. In return the intoxicated man slapped down a bill, which Inuyasha seized and placed in the nearby register.

 

“How stupid you think we are Inuyasha? Your went blank and your eyes became misty whenever she was around.” The lecherous club owner stood up, groping a waitress in the process and smirked. “A piece of advice. She isn't Kikyou. Kagome won't come right out and say, `I want to go here.' She will leave everything up to you and if she doesn't like where you take her she will pretend to.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes widened slightly, “how do you know Miroku?”

 

“Most girl's are just like that. If she sighs a lot you'll know she hates what's going on…” Inuyasha nodded and finished cleaning a glass. He had so much to learn and his date with Kagome was tonight! He looked down at his Rolex, only half an hour till…”

Kagome sighed. “Are you sure this looks ok?” she said twirling slowly in front of a mirror. Sango sighed as well. The miko wore a deep blue strapless dress that cut off just above her knees. Her hair was put up in an elegant bun, the ebony hair glistening in her room's light. “It's not too much?”

 

“Of course not. Now I've got to go. You do to! Inuyasha will be here any minute and-” The doorbell rang. “Speak of the devil.” Sango opened the front door, smiling to Inuyasha and left, hurrying quickly to the elevator.

 

The hanyou watched her rush past curiously then turned to peer inside the doorway. There stood the girl in all her glory. He was almost lost for words as he thought frantically for what to say. “You look, nice.” He felt bad, using such a plain word, but she wouldn't let him think straight to find the right one.

 

“Arigatou,” she nodded stepping out into the hallway. She locked her door securely. “Sorry, I'm taking so long.” She said shyly, unknowing of what to say. He nodded, unable to speak and led her to his car in front of the building. Kagome felt her mouth almost drop open. A red Porsche? When did he have that kind of money? He opened the passenger door for her, helping her slide in.

 

He's such a gentlemen. I didn't know he could be this way. Inuyasha never struck me as gentle, but tonight he is. Almost like Hojou…but in a better way. What am I saying? Hojou is my boyfriend; I'm only doing this to be polite…yes that's it! He closed the door and climbed in his side, revving up the engine. He had no idea where to go.

 

“Anywhere you would like to go?” Kagome smiled politely, her heart beating faster from being so close to him.

 

“Not really,” she said softly, “anywhere you want will be fine.” Inuyasha mentally cursed. His friend had been right.

 

“Ok…then how about that new club downtown?” he suggested, turning down a darkened street. Once again her mouth almost dropped. Was he talking about Malawi Palace? That place was like a dance party for millionaires!

 

“That'd be great,” she said offering another warm smile. He nodded, pulling to a stop in front of the club. Hot neon lights danced in the light, strobe lights flashed from the small windows, and both already found their bodies pounding in beat to the club's music.

They sat across form each other at a small table to the left of the dance floor. Kagome sighed as she sipped her drink making Inuyasha's ears perk up. She's having a bad time…no wonder I'm sitting here bored already. Working up his courage he looked into her brown orbs swallowing an invisible lump in his throat. “Want to dance?” Kagome's face brightened up as she accepted his offer. Together they weaved through the crowd until they found a small gap. The beat was loud and pounding.

 

The miko's body moved in time with the beat, obviously accustomed to this kind of thing. The hanyou stood a foot from her feeling stupid. Kagome noticed his dilemma almost immediately and stopped. “Here,” she said blushing and surprised at her own boldness. “Just flow with it.” The girl placed her hands around his neck as a slower song began blasting from the speakers.

 

Inuyasha wasn't sure what to say and, scared he'd blurt something stupid out, kept his mouth shut. They swayed softly to the music, letting the world dissolve around them. Kagome felt her heart racing, as if it would just quit any moment of fatigue. She looked down at his chest, to embarrassed to gaze into his eyes.

 

The hanyou was looking down at her raven-hair covered head. The light dancing around the club shone on her silky locks. Before he knew what he was doing he placed a hand under her chin, lifting her face to meet his own. Her blush, if possible, darkened as her chocolate hues swam with his ocher orbs. Kagome had to stifle a giggle when she felt his chest begin rumbling. “Inuyasha.” She said smiling.

 

“What?” he asked quizzically.

 

“You're purring.” He almost snorted. Purring?

 

“I don't purr,” he began, “I'm a dog, I growl.”

 

“I'm sorry…” the miko apologized feeling stupid. Inuyasha noticed her crestfallen expression and became angry with himself.

 

“I guess,” he said searching for an explanation, “growling softly is like purring.” He didn't mean it in the slightest bit, but it seemed to please her because her smile broadened.

He started the car, looking at the vehicle's clock as it lit up. 9:09P.M. Now what? He asked himself, having no idea what to do. The hanyou glanced over at Kagome; she was rummaging through her small purse for something. Meanwhile he was driving aimlessly around Tokyo. “Want to do anything?” he asked trying to see what she was looking for. Kagome looked up.

 

“I don't care. I'm sure anywhere you take us will be splendid.” She was satisfied with her answer and went back to her purse. Where was that thing? Inuyasha nodded.

 

“Then I hope your hungry. Seafood or Steak, and you have to choose.” He made sure he let that last bit slide in.

 

Kagome's voice was nervous as she spoke, “steak will be fine.” She said. What's wrong? He thought. Is it something I did?

Kagome finished her plate and looked across the booth to Inuyasha. He'd been done long before her but sat patiently trying to make small talk. She was touched at how hard he was trying when this obviously wasn't the sort of thing he was used to doing. “It's been wonderful.” She offered. “So, how exactly do you know Miroku?” the miko said trying to make a little small talk herself. While he was answering she began searching her purse again.

 

“Just a high school friend…” What is it she's looking for? A waiter came up to the table, smiling falsely and laying a bill down. $104, dating Kagome was a lot more expensive then dating Kikyou. Then again, he never tried to impress Kikyou, as he was Kagome. Why?

 

The silver-haired hanyou paid the bill, and left the restaurant. Once again he was driving aimlessly through Tokyo with Kagome, and to his dislike, there was enough time for one more thing and he knew he couldn't sell her short. Finally he decided on a quick walk through the park. No sighs escaped Kagome when he pulled up as she searched frantically through her purse. The two left the red Porsche behind as they began strolling under the moonlight through one of the park's many garden areas.

 

“Inuyasha, can we sit down for a minute?” she asked feeling lightheaded. He led her to a bench and sat down next to her feeling uncomfortable. “Sorry about this.”

 

“It's ok, are you alright?” he asked, noticing her fear tainted scent. She grinned and nodded. “That's good.” His ocher hues caught her auburn ones. The two gazes mixed, searching each other's. Kagome felt her heart racing as the gap between them shrank away and his lips fell upon hers and embraced her in one fluent motion.

 

“Inuyasha…” she whispered as he pulled away. She saw his mouth move, but heard no sound. Objects slowly began to slide together becoming black and white blobs. She lost sense of being, as if she was floating in space. Then everything went black.
