InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Jealous Much? ❯ The Date ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. That privilege goes to the ever so talented Rumiko Takahashi. But it would be freaking awesome if I did.

 

 

Chapter Four: The Date

 

“Mom, I'm home!” Kagome yelled through the house.

 

“Hello Kagome. Welcome home” her mother said peering into the hall from the kitchen.

 

“Mmm, smells good. What are you making?” Kagome asked walking into the kitchen.

 

“Just a stew. It should be done soon. Oh, a boy named Suzaku called for you while you were gone.”

 

Kagome sighed. “What fake illness do I have this time?”

 

Her mother giggled. “Don't worry. I talked your grandfather out of some silly illness and said you had the flu.”

 

“Thanks Mom” Kagome said, and walked into the living room and picked up the phone. She dialed Suzaku's number.

 

“Hello?” He answered.

 

“Hey. It's Kagome.”

 

“Hey Kagome! So your doing better I hope?” he questioned.

 

“Yes much better. My mom said that you called me.”

 

“Yeah well…” he sounded slightly nervous. “I was wondering, when you get completely better, maybe you'd like to go out some time. Like on a date.”

 

Kagome pulled the phone away from her quick enough to bring her fist down in victory and yell a silent `yes' to herself. She brought the phone back to her and spoke as calmly as she could, “That sounds fun. How about tonight?”

 

“Sure!” He responded a little too enthusiastically. He cleared his throat. “I mean…yeah tonight would be fine. I'll pick you up at six, alright?”

 

“Ok” Kagome said trying not to giggle. “See you at six.” She hung up the phone. She ran into the kitchen and hopped onto the counter behind her mom who was washing some vegetables for the stew in the sink.

 

“Mom, I got asked out on a date!”

 

“That's wonderful honey!” Her mom said cheerfully. “But you've been ask out before, haven't you?”

 

“Yeah but this is different! I really like this guy! And he likes me too!” Kagome said excitedly.

 

“That's great. But what about Inuyasha dear?”

 

Kagome's smile faded and she jumped off of the counter. “What about Inuyasha? It's not like he'd care. He's got Kikyo” she stated.

 

Her mother stayed silent. She knew her daughter loved that half-demon boy. She couldn't help wondering what Inuyasha would do if he was here. Kagome left the kitchen and went to her room to get dressed.

 

Six came quickly. A little too quickly for Kagome, who was frantically making sure that she looked alright, when she heard a knock on the door. She looked in her mirror once more and rushed to the stairs. Before she reached them, she gathered herself, and walked down the stairs coolly. That was until she heard Sota's voice. She ran and found him talking to Suzaku.

 

“You might want to be careful you know.”

 

“Why's that?” Suzaku asked curiously.

 

“Because she has one of the worst tempers in the world. If you get on her bad side she'll—OWW! Why'd you do that sis?” Sota asked rubbing the top of his head.

 

“Shut up would you!” Kagome said, her fist still in the air poised at his head in case he started speaking again.

 

Suzaku laughed. “I see what you mean.”

 

Kagome glared at him. “Let's go now, if that alright with you?” She growled.

 

“Actually…” he stopped, spotting the deadly look Kagome was giving him. “Sure! Let's go.”

 

When they reached the door, Sota pulled Kagome back far enough so only she could hear him. “But what about Inuyasha?”

 

“What about him?”

 

“I thought you loved him?”

 

Kagome blushed bright red. “I never said that.” She pulled her arm out of Sota's reach, and closed the door.

 

Sota just shrugged his shoulders and went into the kitchen for dinner.

 

 

Inuyasha jumped out of the well that night and immediately smelled the wonderful scent of Kagome's mother's cooking. He entered the house and made his way to the kitchen. But when he entered the dining area, Kagome was nowhere to be found.

 

“Oh Inuyasha” her mother said sounding slightly surprised. “Welcome back.”

 

Sota jumped from his seat. “Inuyasha!” he ran over and attempted to jump Inuyasha, but was stopped in mid-air when Inuyasha caught him.

 

“Where's Kagome?” He asked everyone.

 

Kagome's mom opened her mouth to say something, but the grandfather had already begun to talk.

 

“Kagome is out on a date with a boy from school.” The mother sighed. Inuyasha set Sota down, who looked up at his hero's face.

 

“She's on a date? With a boy?”

 

“Mmhm” the grandfather nodded.

 

“Yes Inuyasha” began Kagome mom. “She's on a date with a boy.”

 

Inuyasha knew what a date was. It was something that people in Kagome's time do when they like each other. They go places. They might even kiss.

 

“WHERE DID SHE GO?!” Inuyasha yelled, suddenly getting the image of Kagome kissing some other guy.

 

“Why do want to know?” Kagome's mom asked curiously.

 

“BECAUSE I'M GONNA TO GO GET HER!”

 

“No Inuyasha! You can't!” Her mother exclaimed.

 

“Why the hell not?” he said starting to get angry.

 

“Because she really likes this boy. If you go get her, you'll only end up hurting her. And I know that's not what you want.”

 

Inuyasha stopped yelling. Kagome really liked this guy?

 

Inuyasha turned around and left the house. He thought about returning to his time, but something kept him there. He wanted to find out who this guy was, what he looked like, and how much Kagome liked him. He leapt into the sacred tree and awaited her arrival.
