[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha so don't bother me. Also I don't own the song Out Of Control by Hoobastank, nor the movie How to lose a guy in ten days.

(A/N: As to a question that was asked by: Inustar, here is your answer. Kagome was crippled after the accident, since her right leg bone was almost shattered she has a bad limp and due to the limp and the way her body has modify itself to compensate for it. Her right leg swings out way for her body some her hip seemly to pop out a little or so it looks. So with this new change in her outward appear Kagome finds herself unattractive. The fact that she now has to use a hand cane at times doesn't help her see herself in a better light either.

I hope that answered anyone's questions)

Chapter 4: Why? A Movie and an Unexpected Kiss

By Tainted InuShemeeko

Kagome sighed as she looked out her window at the crescent moon. It had been three whole weeks since she and Inuyasha had sort of started seeing each other. She was starting to wonder if maybe she had dreamed the whole thing up. Her eyes then glanced over at the crutches propped up against the wall of her room. Nope her sprained ankle had been real. However one thing kept running though her mind.

`Why? Why did Miroku get me out of Inuyasha's apartment so fast and why had Sango helped him even though she seemed not to like the idea? It's not like Miroku's a bad dancer so I know it wasn't dance moves he and Inuyasha were talking about."

Kagome sighed as she pulled her knees up to her chin. She then laid her head on her knees.

"Oh well no sense in beating myself up over it."

Kagome's stormy blue eyes gazed out the rain-covered window of her bedroom. Her thoughts continually drifted to that stormy night Inuyasha had carried her up the stairs to his apartment where they had found Miroku waiting inside for them. No sooner had Inuyasha gotten her inside had Miroku swept her out the door.

"I wonder what Inuyasha is up to tonight?"

[I've done everything as you as, I followed your rules without question

I thought it would help me see things clearing

But instead of helping me to see, I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control…out of control

I'm spinning out of control…out of control]

Inuyasha tightened his hand into a fist as took aim at his mirror hanging on the wall, causing it to crack from the impact of his fist, his room was in shambles, his desk chair was in pieces, the mattress to his bed had been torn off. If it hadn't been for that fact that Inuyasha himself looked a mess you would have thought that his room had been vandalized by a burglar and not by him. In his left hand he held a framed picture of a young woman with hazel eyes and long raven colored hair.

[Where should I go? What should I do?

I don't understand what you want from me

`Cause I don't know if I can trust you

or all of the things you've said to me

and I may never know the answer to this endless mystery

where should I go? What should I do?

I don't understand what you want from me]

A few seconds later the picture was hurled toward the closed door of his bedroom, which caused the glass to shatter out of the frame, seeing the glass on the ground Inuyasha bent down to pick up all that he could off of the floor. He then walked to his trashcan and threw them inside. He then went back to the door to retrieve the photo and frame.

"Damn you Kikyo, what the hell do you want from me? First you tell me that it's over and that I should move on. Now you want me back what the hell is that?"

[I feel like I'm spinning out of control, try to focus but everything's twisted

and all along I thought you would be there

to let me know I'm not alone but in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control…out of control]

Suddenly all the anger he had toward Kikyo came out all at once, in which Inuyasha swung his fist out to punch his door in anger. However, there was saving the person who was not on the other side of the door. There was a smacking sound as Inuyasha fist hit the corner on the person's mouth. The guy steadied himself as he brought a hand up to his mouth, to wipe the blood away.

"I always knew you were appalled by my intimate advances with women, yet I never expected you to ever punch me."

[all alone and spinning out of control. Out of control….]

Inuyasha blinked in disbelief as he stared at his best friend, blood continued to tickle out of the corner of his mouth.

"Uh....uh....Miroku??....Uh....uh...sorry....I didn't...expect you to...be standing at....my door like that."

He then turned to dump the photo on his desk before he turned back to Miroku.

"You know you're supposed to knock before you enter a room. If you had I would have never hit you, so it's your own damn fault."

Miroku chuckled as he walked farther into the bedroom.

"Ah, yes well I guess I should have known better seeing that I could hear you cussing from all the way out in the hall."

"Keh," was Inuyasha was only response. He then dumped the photo in the trash along side the glass. His grey-brown eyes glanced over at Miroku and took in how he was dressed. He had on a white T-shirt followed by a purple and black pin striped dress shirt, and a pair of wrangler jeans and light brown pair of sandals.

"So I'm guess Sango hasn't forgiven you for making her help you get Kagome out of my apartment?"

Miroku gave him a nervous laugh.

"Well not exactly. So I figured if I showed off my finer qualities she'd come around."

Inuyasha smirked as he looked at his best friend.

"How by making her jealous of any girl that is dumb enough to look at you?"

Inuyasha's suspicions were confirmed by the huge grin that was now spread across Miroku.

"You really are a pervert aren't you Zenan? Here most of the girls I've known call me one."

Miroku laughed as he walked over to Inuyasha's desk. He then glanced down at the damaged photo in the trash and turned to look at Inuyasha.

"I didn't know you still had this picture of her."

Inuyasha walked over to his bed and slid his mattress back on with his left hand, as he spoke.

"I did, but not any more. She's in the past and right now I'm living in the present."

He then walked over to the silver colored phone that was hanging on his wall, which earned him a questioning glance from Miroku.

"It's nine o' clock at night who could you possibly be calling?"

Inuyasha narrowed his hazel-brown eyes over at Miroku as he replied,

"I'm calling Kagome; you got a problem with that?"

Miroku held his hands up in his defense.

"No, not at all but how did you manage to get her number?"

Inuyasha's piercing gaze never left him.

"I got it out of the phonebook stupid. You know the big fat book with all the damned colored pages in it?"

Miroku grinned sheepishly over at Inuyasha.

"Oh right I forgot she had her own phone line."

Inuyasha mumbled under his breath as he turned back to the phone.

"Baka."

He then focused on dialing Kagome's number.

8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8

Kagome jumped slightly at the buzzing ringing of her phone shook her out of her thoughts. She then ran over to her hunter green phone.

###

On the Phone

"Um…hello?"

"Hey, Kagome it's me Inuyasha."

"Oh Inuyasha hi, I didn't think I would hear from you tonight."

There was no way for Inuyasha to hide the disbelief that was in his voice as he responded to her words.

"Really, no why would you think like that?"

There was a deep sadness in her voice as she answered him.

"You seem preoccupied with some thing the last two days. So I didn't want to bother you."

Guilt was laced in with his words as he responded to her words.

"Yeah, I guess I was, but I'm over it now, everything is all worked out."

At this Kagome's voice seemed to beam with happiness.

"Really that's wonderful, I hate seeing you upset like that. So to what do I owe this wonderful call?"

Kagome heard Inuyasha clear his throat on the other end before he answered her.

"Was thinking I could pick you up after your last class let out at twelve o' five and we could spend the afternoon together, maybe go to dinner and a movie?"

The happiness in Kagome voice soon turned to disappointment.

"I would to but I have to work from twelve-thirty to five."

Inuyasha shrugged and then answered.

"No big deal I'll pick you up from work and then we'll go to dinner and a movie. Just tell me where you work and I'll come get you at five."

Kagome smiled once again and gave him the address and directions to where she worked. By now it was going on ten o' clock and Kagome regretfully had to say good-bye.

8#88#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8

Kagome smiled as she hung up the phone and crawled into bed. They had officially made a date, before he just would eat lunch with her on campus. This time he had called her to have a date.

"I can't believe InuYasha Taisho one of the cutest guys on campus has just asked me out on a date. Oh kami I must be one of the luckiest girls alive."

8#88#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8#8

Inuyasha was smiling as he hung up the phone; he had finally done it he had asked Kagome Higurashi out on a date. Miroku on the other hand didn't look as happy.

"Inuyasha are you sure this is wise. I mean getting this close to a woman so quickly after the break up with Kikyo. I mean Kagome means the world to me I trust her with my life, but are you sure she's the right one. I mean you thought Kikyo was the one and you saw how it turned out when she found out about your unique condition."

Inuyasha once again felt his blood start to boil, Kaede had warned about getting to angry or lustful, for the effects of her subduing medicine would wear off. However he couldn't stop the anger that was building inside him as he lashed out at Miroku.

"Look she's different ok. The more I get to know her the more I see that Kagome understands me better then Kikyo ever did. There's just something about her that kind of pulls me toward her like a magnet."

At noticing the beads of sweat building on Inuyasha's forehead, Miroku's slate colored eyes looked over at his friend. Concern was laced in with his words as he watched Inuyasha bend over in pain.

"InuYasha are you all right, should I go get Kaede?"

Inuyasha shook his head no, as his black hair turned silver then black again.

"No I got it I'm alright."

"Are you sure InuYasha?"

His question was met with another angry glare from Inuyasha.

"I said I could handle it, damn it so let me handle it."

Almost an hour later Inuyasha was still gripping the bedpost of his bed. His face hidden from view by his once again black locks, Miroku watched as he pulled in a breath and then let it out, he did this about five times before he then looked up at Miroku and smirked.

"See I told you I had it under control."

Miroku's voice became serious as he spoke to his friend.

"InuYasha youkai and humans have been integrated for over a hundred centuries or so. So why is it you are always hiding your true self from the world all the time."

Inuyasha's hazel-brown eyes gleamed with something that Miroku had never seen is his hanyou friend before sadness and fear.

"It was because I was afraid of what people would say. It's different when you're a half-breed, instead of a full-fledged youkai. So since there was no way for me to be a full youkai, I decided to be a human for awhile."

He then stood up straight as he picked up his chair and looked at it. Once deciding that there was no saving it, he put it up against the wall of his room.

"Don't even ask Miroku, because yes I still plan on going out with Kagome tomorrow."

Miroku made his way to Inuyasha's bedroom door, before he looked once more at his hanyou.

"Suit yourself InuYasha; just don't wait too long to tell her. The same goes with telling her about the house you own. Oh and one more thing I spoke with Kaede today. She says you should let your body return to normal for a few days, before drinking anymore of that stuff. Who knows what your side effects from it will be."

Ten minutes after Miroku left, Inuyasha made his way into his kitchen and stared at the special tea Kaede had made him, after a few minutes he decided not to drink it to night. Dumping the tea down the drain, Inuyasha's feet shuffled across the floor to his room. Sleep that's what he needed, he needed sleep that would help him clear his mind.

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888

Kagome smiled as she carefully helped her mother assemble a cake layer on top of another. She wouldn't have to worry with dinner for her mother tonight, because she had told her earlier that she was having dinner with her grandfather. So Mrs. Higurashi had told her daughter to go out and have fun tonight.

She twisted the top of her icing bag closed as after she had shaken all the icing down into the tip. She then squeezed the bag slowly as she slowly started to pull the royal icing out into a petal. When she was finished a beautiful deep red rose was looking back at her.

"How's this one look mom?"

Mrs. Higurashi turned to look at her daughter's handy work.

"It's beautiful dear, so how many is that now that you've made?"

Kagome thought for a minute before continuing.

"Well let's see twenty-nine with one more to do and then we'll have the thirty roses to put on the cake tomorrow after they are dried."

The cake was a three-tier red velvet cake; the white icing concealed what kind of cake it truly was. Dark blue icing ribbons were wrapped around golden ones. After all of the roses were dry they would be placed around the sides of the cakes as well as on the top of it. Then each rose would then be sprinkled with a silver edible glitter.

A few seconds later Eri walked into the room, with a pen and paper in her hand.

"Ok we've had nine cake orders, three for flower arrangement as and a whole bridal party here for dresses. I'd say we've done pretty go this week Mrs. Higurashi."

Mrs. Higurashi smiled as she nodded her head.

"Yes it seems to be even better then last week."

Eri then glanced over at Kagome.

"Oh Kagome there's this cute guy in the front. He says his here to pick you up."

Her face flushed and then she paled.

"He's here early my shift's not over yet."

Eri laughed as she looked at her friend.

"Only by ten minutes, so go and don't worry I'll help your mom close up to night so just go."

Kagome gentle placed the last rose on the parchment paper and hurried out to the front. She then greeted Inuyasha with a bright smile.

"Sorry I'm a little early. I wasn't sure if I knew where I was going so I wanted to get a head start. It wasn't till I saw the name on the sign out front that I knew where I was. My brother had me pick up a cake for Rin's birthday last year. I think he ordered one again this year for a banquet he's having tomorrow."

Kagome smiled as she nodded.

"Yep I think your right. There's a banquet we're catering tomorrow, and the last name matches yours so that's a yes."

"Shall we go?" Inuyasha asked as he offered her his arm.

They had eaten dinner at a little restaurant called The Well. They had then made their way to the movie theater. Thirty-five minutes later, both Inuyasha and Kagome's giggles could be heard as they left the theater.

"Well InuYasha I guess that kills our movie idea."

Inuyasha was just now trying to stop his laughter.

"The look on that guys face when the film projector went haywire was out of this world."

Kagome giggled once more.

"You're right it was, but we still shouldn't laugh."

Inuyasha's face got serious as he cleared his throat.

"You're right we shouldn't laugh, but you are wrong about one thing. We can watch a movie at my place since Miroku's dances steps need help."

Kagome gave it a thought before she answered him.

"I don't see why not, just as long as I call my mom and tell her there was a change in plans."

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888

While watching How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, Inuyasha offered Kagome a cranberry favored Smirnoff. He had one as well, half through the movie Kagome had consumed two and Inuyasha three.

After the movie was over they just sat and talked. Kagome talked a little bit more about her father, and Inuyasha told her how his brother Sesshomaru had lost his left arm in an accident.

"Here I am thinking I have it bad when…"

She stopped as she looked at the empty bottles on the table. Inuyasha smirked the girl could hold her liquor better then he could, it was a little embarrassing. She'd had five tonight while he only had, had four; then again he wasn't a hanyou right now if he had been he would have been doing better than her.

He then watched as she fingered the scar that was on the right side of her neck. Inuyasha got up from his seat and crawled over to the couch and placed a hand over the hand she had resting over the scar.

"Stop thinking about whatever you're thinking about. I for one think you are beautiful, and not that scar on your neck or the one on your right leg is going to change that."

Kagome had been ready to argue with him. When his hot lips pressed quickly against hers then pulled away.

"I thought I told you to stop thinking about whatever it is you're thinking about."

In an instant their lips touched, as Inuyasha's hand slid the strap of her pink tank off her shoulder. While his other one slid to the button of her light blue jeans. Kagome may have been a little light headed, but she hadn't lost control of her senses. Then as quick as he had unbutton them he re buttoned them, it was if he could feel that she wasn't really to go that far. He smiled as he tickled the skin on her neck with his lips.

Yes Kagome Higurashi was like no one he had even met, it was normal these days for demons to hide among human. So it was easy to make people believe that he was human. A few minutes later he noticed how even her breathing had become.

"Damn she fell asleep."

Inuyasha then picked her up and placed her in his bed and covered her up.

He then made his way to the closet, "Looks like I get the couch tonight, no big deal."

The only thing that Inuyasha hoped for was that she didn't think that he was so drunk that they did something stupid.

"Only tomorrow will tell."

(A/N: Ok here's Ch.4 I hope it was too stupid or anything I hope everyone liked the surprise I unwrapped.

Ja ne!
