Chapter 3

 

 

 

“ Well if it isn't that beautiful reckless driver from earlier this morning!” Inuyasha smirked as he walked over to lean against Kagome's car. “ Still don't belief in fate Gorgeous?” Kagome blushed lightly at the nickname then rolled her eyes playfully shoving the hanyou.

 

“ No, I don't. You know you completely threw off my schedule by your appearance in the middle of the street this morning.” Kagome stated poked the hanyou accusingly in the chest. `Not that I really cared, if every day started with a guy like him I would be fine with being late to work.'

 

“ Well I'm sorry uh…” Inuyasha paused trying to think of her name.. “ I don't know your name.” He stated with an embarrassed chuckle, he'd been too distracted that morning to ask for her name.. or her number.

 

“ That's because I don't think I told you my name.” Kagome stuck out her tongue at the hanyou then giggled lightly. “ It's Kagome Higurashi to you Mr... Heh, I don't know your name either.” As she tried to recall if he had ever told it to her.

 

“ Inuyasha Takahashi.” He smirked at the thoughtful expression on Kagome's face.

 

“ Takahashi Corp.. The meeting half an hour ago?” Kagome stated more or less to no one in particular. “ Well, that explains why you're here.”

 

“ Yep, and the boring as fuck speaker was my half brother.. the bastard.” Kagome shook her head and chuckled lightly as she fiddled with the pockets of her pants.

 

“ Don't say that. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice guy.” Inuyasha gave Kagome a doubtful stare then laughed.

 

“ What are you doing later tonight?” Inuyasha asked suddenly, catching Kagome completely off guard. Inuyasha's ears flicked expectantly as he waited for an answer.

 

“ Nothing.” Kagome tried desperately to keep her cool when she answered, but she was positive that her voice quaked when she said that solitary word. “ Why?” A small smile crept onto her delicate feature as Inuyasha fumbled to speak.

 

` I feel like a fucking teenager.' Inuyasha thought to himself before he spoke. “ Just a question.” With a chuckle Inuyasha turned around to walk away. Kagome huffed loudly and called out his name.

 

“ All that trouble and I don't even get asked out to dinner?! I would've figured you'd given me some line about us meeting again is a sign from the Kami.” Kagome joked causing Inuyasha to turn around grinning widely. He stepped up close to Kagome and spoke low making Kagome involuntarily shiver with excitement.

 

“ Fine. Did you want to have dinner with my later tonight gorgeous?” Kagome bit her lip and turned away bashfully as Inuyasha raised a clawed hand to turn the girl's chin to face him. “ I don't think you'll say no though.”

 

“ How can you be so sure you arrogant baka?” Kagome said rolling her eyes. Inuyasha peered at Kagome with amusement clear in his eyes as he waited for the young doctor's answer. “…Fine.” Kagome crossed her arms and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from her purse. Scribbling the number on the paper she handed it to Inuyasha.

 

“ Does 7 sound good? I know it's pretty early, but I figured we could do something afterwards.” Inuyasha suggested seductively to Kagome. Her eyes were looking somewhere by Inuyasha's feet, but every now and then she would glance up at him bashfully. Much to Kagome's relief her cell phone began to ring.

 

“ Dr. Higurashi speaking.. but.. okay. No, it's fine! I'd be glad-uh huh. I'll be there in five minutes. Bye.” Kagome shut her phone and rolled her eyes with a sigh.

 

“ Hospital?” Inuyasha asked curiously. Kagome giggled softly and shook her head.

 

“ Not exactly.. It was my mother. I'll see you later tonight. I've gotta go. Bye Inuyasha.” Kagome smiled one last time to the silver haired hanyou and got into her car to drive away. Once out of the parking lot Kagome squealed in delight. She had a date with the most gorgeous specimen of youkai she had ever seen in her life.

 

 

 

 

“ Hi Momma!” Kagome said cheerily as she walked into the kitchen. Her mother squealed with delight and hugged her daughter tightly.

 

“ Well you seem cheerful today!” Her mother Maemi said placing down a large wooden spoon she was using to stir whatever she was cooking.

 

“ I almost hit someone with my car today!” Kagome beamed at her mother's horrified expression. “ And he asked me out to dinner.” Kagome snorted with laughter.

 

“ Well, that's nice.. I suppose.” Maemi said laughingly. “ Shippo's in the living room. Souta's reading him a book.” Kagome kissed her mother's cheek.

 

“ Thanks Momma for letting him sleep over last night. Now I have to beg Souta to come and babysit for me later.” Maemi hugged her daughter tightly and picked back up her spoon.

 

“ It's no problem. You know we love Shippo. I'm sure Souta will do it. You haven't had a date since high school.” Kagome turned scarlet with embarrassment and turned towards the door.

 

“ Well thanks Momma for reminding me.” Kagome giggled before walking out into the living room. Before she even walked into the room she heard a happy yell.

 

“ Mommy!” Kagome peeked around the corner into the living from the hallway and saw her adopted son run straight ahead and hug her legs.

 

“ Hi Shippo! Hi Souta.” Kagome said after picking up her 3 year old adopted son.

 

“ Hey Sis.” Souta said shutting the book he'd been reading his nephew.

 

“ Mommy I drew you a picture look!” Shippo wriggled out of Kagome's grasp to jump down and grab a picture drawn with crayon. “ It's you and that's me.. and that's our house.” Kagome smiled and hugged the picture to her chest.

 

“ Honey it's beautiful!” She picked up Shippo again. “ How did you like staying with Grandma, Uncle Souta and Great-Grandpa?” Her little kitsune son snuggled against his mother before answering.

 

“ It was fun. Gramps wasn't fun though. He just cleaned all day and slept by the time the sun went down. But Uncle Souta was fun, he read me stories and we played games on the computer and with the Xbox. Grandma made cookies!” Shippo said rubbing his stomach.

 

“ Were they good Honey?” Shippo nodded and smiled. “ How would you like Uncle Souta to watch you for a couple hours while Mommy has dinner with a new friend?” Souta looked at his sister and chuckled softly.

 

“ Yay!” Shippo yelled out jumping down from his mother to look at his uncle with admiration.“ We're gonna have lots of fun!” Souta chuckled ruffling the little kitsune's hair. Kagome mouthed the words `thank you' to Souta who only smiled and shook his head.

 

“ You can stay at our house. I'll bring you guys back some food in a doggy bag or something.” Kagome kissed her brother's cheek before taking her son's hand. “ Come over at 6. Come on Shippo let's go.” Shippo led Kagome's out the door as she yelled goodbye to her family.

 

 

 

Inuyasha drove back to his house still smiling at the thought of taking that delicious specimen of a woman out to dinner. He was brought out of his thoughts of the woman as his cell phone began to ring.

 

“ Takahashi speaking.” Inuyasha said into the phone.

 

“ Baka. The parents wanted me to remind you that we're having dinner at their house tonight.” Sesshoumaru said knowing full well that his younger half brother had completely forgotten. Inuyasha groaned and if he had a free hand would have slapped himself in the face.

 

“ I forgot. I got a date tonight.” Sesshoumaru snickered.

 

“ I figured as much. When you not have date? Just bring whoever it is this time to the house.. but not if she's some whore.” Inuyasha growled loudly.

 

“ I never cavort with whores you moron.. I guess I could bring her to the house. I gotta go though.” With that Inuyasha hung up and returned to thinking about the raven haired beauty he'd be seeing in a few hours.

 

 

 

Kagome walked into the grocery store pushing a shopping cart with Shippo sitting inside. Shippo's eyes widened once they reached the cereal aisle and he wordlessly pleaded with his mother for more cereal.

 

“ Shippo. No.” Kagome said firmly though the bright green eyes of her son made her want to reconsider.. “ Fine.” Shippo's eyes widened and Kagome pushed the cart close enough for Shippo to grab a box of sugary cereal.

 

A woman pushing a cart in front of Kagome stopped and began looking at the different kinds of cereal. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dark haired man look greedily at the woman's purse, which sat inside of her cart. “ Honey, stay here okay.” Kagome whispered into her son's ear. Kagome walked up towards the woman's cart, pretending that she was looking for a certain box of cereal she saw the man make a grab for the wallet. As he turned to run his face connected with Kagome's fist. The owner of the wallet gasped and ran to the cart and stood over the man lying on the floor in pain.

 

“ Thank you!” The woman said gratefully.

 

“ No problem.” Kagome smiled warmly walking back towards her cart to pull it up to her.

 

“ I'm glad there are still some good people around.” The woman said shaking Kagome's hand. “ I'm Izayoi Takahashi.”

 

“ Kagome Higurashi and this is my son Shippo.” Shippo waved as he munched on the sugary cereal he was grabbing in handfuls from the open cereal box.

 

“ There must be some way for me to repay you!” Izayoi insisted. Kagome shook her head and smiled.

 

“ No worries. Enjoy your cereal.” Kagome said cheerily before pushing the cart out of the aisle.
