InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cutter's lullaby ❯ At the beginning ( Chapter 2 )

As they walked into the restaurant, they were greeted by soft 50's music playing. Kagome watched as a girl in a poodle skirt with thick-rimmed glasses and skates rolled by. Inuyasha looked at her, “So have you ever been to Elvis's Palace before?” Kagome raised her eyebrow and looked over at him, “As in Elvis Presley?”

Inuyasha chuckled, “I'll take that as a no and yes after Elvis Presley.”

 

Inuyasha led Kagome to a small two-person booth in the back of the restaurant. A few seconds later a bubbly waitress rolled up, “Hi welcome to Elvis's Palace. I'm Stacey and I'll be your server.” The girl set their menus down on the table and skated away.

 

Kagome picked up her menu and began to look for something to eat, `Rockin' Chicken Strips, Hunka Hunka Burnin' Burger, You Ain't Nothing But a Hot Dog.' Kagome giggled.

Inuyasha looked over at her, “What's so funny?”

Kagome looked up from her menu and met his gaze, `what gorgeous eyes.' She cleared her throat, “Sorry what did you say Inuyasha?”

“I asked what was so funny.”

Kagome giggled again before answering him, “All the foods are a spin off of Elvis songs.” Inuyasha looked at his menu and laughed as well, “You're right. I guess the owner has a thing for Elvis.”

“No kidding.”

 

Just then the waitress skidded to a stop at their booth, “Are you ready to order?” She took out her pencil and order pad when Inuyasha nodded his head, “So what can I get you?”

Inuyasha ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake. He looked at Kagome and gawked when she ordered the same thing. “Inuyasha didn't your mother tell you it isn't nice to stare?”

Inuyasha blinked, he couldn't tell her about his mom, not yet, so he settled for a rude remark instead, “I thought you would have ordered a salad.”

 

If looks could kill, Inuyasha would have been six feet under, “Well sorry to disappoint you. I like food that actually taste good.”

Inuyasha decided to change the subject, “So why did you have detention today?” Kagome looked down at her hand embarrassed, “Well, I kinda fell asleep in literature class.”

Inuyasha choked on his water, “You! Come on goody-two-shoes Kagome Higarashi fell asleep in class?”

Kagome looked at him angrily, “How do you know my last name? And what do you mean goody-two-shoes!?”

She was livid, `who does he think he is! He knows nothing about me!'

 

Inuyasha gulped, “Well I was talking to some people in my fourth period and they brought you up. They said you were a spoiled rich girl who never gets into any trouble and has straight A's.”

Kagome looked hurt by his words.

“Look I'm sorry if I said something…”

“Not all of its true. My parents do have money and I don't get into trouble, but to tell the truth my grades have never been that great and I'm afraid my concentration has been off. So I see no room for improvement.” Kagome looked down at the table trying to avoid Inuyasha's intense gaze.

 

“You mean because of…”

Stacey rolled up with their food, “Here you guy are. If you need anything else just flag me down.” As she rolled away Inuyasha finished his sentence, “ Because of what happened between you and that jackass Koga? You really shouldn't let it effect you that much.”

Kagome responded in a shaky voice, “You don't understand, I thought he loved me. And all the time we spent together feels like a waste. And on top of it all I feel like a damn fool for trusting someone with my heart.”

Inuyasha reached across the table to hold her hands, she tried to pull them back but Inuyasha just tightened his grip, “Look Kagome, I know it hurts, believe me I know. I mean I found out about it from you instead of her, but anyways…”

 

“Inuyasha what the fuck are you doing?”

Kagome and Inuyasha looked up to find a very pissed girl standing next to their table.

“Kikyo…”

Inuyasha felt Kagome's grip tighten, and when her looked at her, she looked like she wanted to cry. `Kagome.'

Inuyasha released Kagome's hands and stood up, “Look Kikyo, we need to talk.”

Kikyo looked from her boyfriend to the girl he was with then back, “You bet your ass we do.”

Inuyasha dragged Kikyo over by the bar, where Kagome couldn't hear them.

 

*~*

 

Kagome sat there by herself thinking, `that's the girl Koga slept with? She kinda looks like me.' Then it dawned on her, `wait so because I wouldn't sleep with him, he found someone who kinda looks like me to get his rocks off to!'

 

*~*

 

“Hey!”

Kagome turned to face the person speaking to her.

“So you're Koga's ex?”

Kagome looked at Kikyo in disgust, “Yeah so? It shouldn't mean anything to you.”

Kikyo gave off a cruel laugh, “It doesn't, but now I see why he slept with me. You're nothing but an insecure little girl, who wouldn't know what to do with a guy even if there were directions tattooed on his chest!”

Kagome quickly stood up, anger rolling off her in waves, and next thing she knew, her fist came in contact with Kikyo's jaw.

Inuyasha's mouth fell open, “Holy shit!”

Kikyo pushed herself of the floor, “You little bitch!” Then she launched herself at Kagome.

 

*~*

 

Inuyasha went to go break up the fight but a hand placed on his shoulder stopped him.

“I wouldn't go over there if I was you.”

Inuyasha looked over his shoulder to see a tall, dark-haired guy wearing a deep purple shirt, “Why not?”

The dark-haired boy smiled, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And both of those women have been scorned, so if you value your life, I'd stay back.”

 

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and Kikyo, there was now a third girl with long black hair standing between them, “I guess you're right. Thanks man. By the way, who the hell are you?”

The boy removed his hand from Inuyasha's shoulder and took a step back, “I'm Miroku Matsumoto, Kagome's closest male friend. And that girl in the middle is Kagome's best friend, Sango Yamadera, she is also my girlfriend.” Miroku smiled and stuck out his hand.

Inuyasha reached out and shook it, “Hi, I'm Inuyasha Saruwatari. I just started going to your school, and that girl Kagome is fighting with is my recently ex-girlfriend, Kikyo Katakura.”

Miroku gave him a quizzical look, “Did you break up over Kagome? I didn't know she was seeing anybody.”

“No, I just met her in detention, we started to talk so I asked her out to dinner.”

When Miroku raised an eyebrow, Inuyasha quickly added, “As friends.”

 

Before Miroku could reply, Sango and Kagome walked up, both smiling.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha, whose eyes widened when he saw the blood on her bottom lip, “Kagome, what the hell were you thinking? Are you alright?” Inuyasha took Kagome's face in his hands and gently wiped away the smear of blood.

Kagome felt her heart stop when Inuyasha's rough, warm hands touched her smooth, soft skin. She slowly brought her eyes up to meet his, when smoky blue met amber her knees became weak.

` What the hell is wrong with you Kagome! You can't like him like that!' Kagome pulled away and swallowed hard, than she remembered Sango and Miroku and became angry.

 

She looked over at Sango, “Sango, I thought you were going to that party with Miroku?”

“Well something happened.” Sango looked at her boyfriend sheepishly. Miroku rolled his eyes, “ My mom and dad got into a fight and decided to get a divorce, and so the party was canceled.”

Kagome looked at Miroku then placed her hand gently on his arm, “Oh Miroku. I so sorry to hear that, are you alright?”

Miroku nodded his head, “Yeah please don't pity me. It was bound to happen anyways, they fought all the time. Plus dad was cheating on mom.” Sango stood behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her forehead against his back, giving him a sense of comfort.

Miroku sighed, “Enough of the pity party. Let's go hang out at the park.”

Kagome looked at her cell to see what time it was, 6:00, “It takes 20 minutes to get to the park from here and 30 minutes to get from the park to my house. So I guess it's ok if we go.”

Inuyasha remembered he had to take Kagome home but he didn't know when, “Kagome what time do you have to been home?”

“8:00. So we better leave now, come one. We'll meet you guys there.”

Inuyasha was stunned, had she forgotten that he drives a motorcycle?

 

*~*

 

When they got to the parking lot Kagome looked at the motorcycle, “Shit, I forgot you drove this.”

Inuyasha came up behind her and rested his hand on her shoulder, “Would you rather walk?”

Kagome removed his hand from her shoulder, “I'll get used to it. I just want to go hang out with my friends tonight.”

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders and got on the bike. When she got on behind him, Inuyasha almost laughed, Kagome had a death grip on his stomach, “So you remember what I said about falling off.”

Kagome mumbled her answer so he asked her to speak up, a mistake on his part.

“I said asshole!” Kagome shouted close to his ear.

“Ow wench! That hurt! Lower your damn decimal level!”

Kagome squeezed his abdomen tighter, “Sorry. Let's get going.”

Inuyasha started the engine, “You're going to have to tell me how to get there.” He felt her nod her head against his back, “Ok, take a left out of the parking lot, go through the intersection, the park is four streets after that.”

Inuyasha revved the engine and peeled out of the parking lot, following Kagome's directions.

 

*~*

 

When they got to the park they spotted Sango and Miroku sitting on a picnic table. Kagome got of the bike and felt her legs shake from the vibrations of the engine.

Inuyasha placed his arm around her shoulder and whispered into her ear, “That wasn't so bad was it?”

Kagome smiled up at him, “I'll get used to it.”

He raised one of his eyebrows and smiled, “you sound like you're going to riding it a lot.”

“Well at least until I get my car.”

“And when would that be?”

Kagome counted on her fingers, “Friday, its in the shop.”

Miroku and Sango began to laugh and Kagome blushed.

Miroku wrapped his arm around Sango's waist, “Kagome's car supposedly got hit by a shopping cart. But we all know the shopping cart was hit by her.”

Kagome blushed a deeper shade of red, “Shut up Miroku!”

There was a moment of silence then all the friends burst out laughing.

 

Once they all calmed down, the two girls went over to the swings and the guys just sat there and talked.

Time seemed to fly and before Kagome knew it her cell phone began to ring. She answered it without looking at the caller ID, “Hello?”

“Kagome you're 20 minutes late! You better get your ass home! Mom and dad are flipping out!”

“Oh shit! I totally lost track of the time! Tell them I'm on my way!”

“Alright sis, you better hurry.”

“Thanks Souta.” Kagome hung up the phone and ran over to Inuyasha, “We have to leave right now, I'm late!”

Inuyasha looked at his watch, “Fuck.”

They both looked at Sango and Miroku and said goodbye. When they got on the motorcycle Kagome tolled Inuyasha the directions to her house, “Inuyasha, can you get me there in 15 minutes?”

Inuyasha looked back at her and gave her a cocky grin. “Hold on.”

 

 

*~*

 

When they got to her house Kagome thought she was going to be sick, “Thanks Inuyasha, I owe you for this.” Kagome placed a small kiss on his cheek than ran up her front step, her nerves singing.

Inuyasha watched as she ran up the steps, when her front door was closed Inuyasha touched his cheek, “Well that was unexpected.”

Then he left, thinking about Kagome and that little peck on the cheek than whole way home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Do you think they are falling for each other too fast? But if it's realistic it should be all right. If you have any suggestions let me know.
