InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Go Home Kagome ❯ Choices and Instant messages ( Chapter 8 )

 

Eight

 

Kagome stayed late at her new office and missed dinner. She drove home, grabbed a late dinner, than logged on to her computer. She was in luck. Boog was on instant messenger. It was nine at night in Tokyo which meant it was only ten in the morning in South Carolina. Boog spotted her before she could get the first word in.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Hiya girlie! How was your first day on the job?

 

ShyKagOne: Very: …educational. But I got a new cat. He says to tell you MEOW in Japanese of course.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Don'tcha know? You are supposed to be treating the patients not stealing them.

 

ShyKagOne: Yeah, yeah but our cat died while I was away and I miss him. Also I have a date!

 

Dead_head_Boog: Really! YEA! Do tell.

 

ShyKagOne: He has a pot bellied pig and seems really nice. He is a video game programmer. The date is Saturday. Mom was SO happy.

 

Dead_head_Boog: I'll just bet. I don't think I could date a man who owned a pet pig, it's just too weird.

 

ShyKagOne: Well that's why I am me and not you. So how goes it on the Paul front? Been to see him YET?

 

Dead_head_Boog: Ya ain't the only one with a date Saturday.

 

ShyKagOne: Really? I am so happy for you! Was it hard?

Dead_head_Boog: Nah, he didn't even try to play hard to get. I've been building up to this for so long it was almost a disappointment.

 

ShyKagOne: Well maybe you can still shock him yet.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Maybe. You know me. I'm naturally shocking.

 

ShyKagOne: Just your driving alone should be enough to do it.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Hardy Har Har. Aren't we funny? So….have you seen that Inu guy?

 

ShyKagOne: No.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. You are such a horrible liar. I can tell and I can't even hear the sound of your voice.

 

ShyKagOne: Busted.

 

Dead_head_Boog: SO????

 

ShyKagOne: I think he was outside my window last night.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Did you call the cops or what?

 

ShyKagOne: No, no it's not like that. We used to do that when we were younger. It's okay…really.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Well, but only if you insist. So are you going to visit him?

 

ShyKagOne: I should but I don't know…

 

Dead_head_Boog: Well at the very least you need closure. Girl get off your ass and go talk to him. If you don't you will always wonder.

 

ShyKagOne: Why does everyone keep telling me that!

 

Dead_head_Boog: Because we are all right and you should listen. I watched you mope over that damned guy for three freaking years. If you don't at least pick up the stinking phone and call him then you are an idiot!

 

ShyKagOne: So…tell me what you REALLY think.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Seriously…maybe I should call UGA and see if they can revoke your diploma cause your common sense has left the building and I fear for the lives of many innocent animals.

 

ShyKagOne: Do that and I will call the DMV…I swear it!

 

Dead_head_Boog: Funny, funny girl. But seriously if you screw this up I refuse to listen to you bitch about it.

 

ShyKagOne: Okay, okay I got the point. I will go see him.

 

Dead_head_Boog: When?

 

ShyKagOne: Tomorrow after work.

 

Dead_head_Boog: Promise???

 

ShyKagOne: Yes you have my word!

 

Dead_head_Boog: Pinky swear?

 

ShyKagOne: What the hell does that even mean? Okay yes, Pinky swear!

 

Dead_head_Boog: Good, I feel better already.

 

ShyKagOne: Boog…I won't be seeing him tomorrow after all.

 

Dead_head_Boog: And why the hell not you stinking hussy!?

 

ShyKagOne: Because he's here now, in my room. C-ya later.

 

Dead_head_Boog: WOW!

 

ERROR! Your messaging partner is no longer on line.

 

 

NOTES: for the sake of fanfic rules I am stating for the record this is a fabricated conversation used for the purpose of leaving a good cliff hanger and seeing how Kagome might explain her relationship with Inuyasha to someone outside of her family circle. It was originally a phone call but the IM form was more effective.
