See You Tomorrow?

***

“Thanks for the ride, Inuyasha.” Kagome said, getting out of the car, “You are staying for dinner, right?” Inuyasha hesitated, then nodded, as he got out of the car himself.

“Yeah, sure.” He agreed, “…But are you positive your family won’t mind?” He looked nervous, and Kagome noticed his eyes shifting around uncomfortably.

‘How cute,’ She thought to herself, with a smile, ‘He’s so shy sometimes. I don’t understand…’

“Let me handle that, Inuyasha.” She demanded, “You just enjoy yourself. Make yourself at home. There’s no reason to be nervous.” He looked up to her with a weak smile.

“I know.” He said, walking around the car to Kagome.

As soon as he neared her she reached out and grabbed his hand in hers. He looked down at their hands, shocked. Then smiled up at her and squeezed her hand. This was something he had been waiting for all his life. To hold Kagome’s hand. Now he could die a happier man.

“Inuyasha…” Kagome whispered, snapping him out of his happy thoughts. He looked up at her blushing face. Her cheeks were a crimson red. “You’re hurting my hand.” She said, giggling a bit.

Inuyasha could feel his face turning red now. “Oh, I’m sorry.” He said, loosening the grip. She pulled Inuyasha towards the house, and they walked to the front door. She quickly let go of his hand.

“Okay, my family is a little… different.” Kagome explained, “Please don’t get the wrong impression of me if they do something embarrassing.”

“Of course I won’t, Kags.” He laughed. Kagome nodded, then opened the door. She gestured for Inuyasha to follow her inside.

“Mama, Gramps, Sota!” she shouted, “I’M HOME!”

“Hey, Sis!” Sota was the first to run out. He was excited about something, running out of his room happily, “Guess wha---“

He looked up at Inuyasha, cocking his head to the side. “Who’s this, Kagome?” Sota asked. Kagome giggled, and introduced Inuyasha and Sota.

“Kagome dear!” Mrs. Higurashi called from the kitchen, “Dinner is almost ready! Set the table!”

Kagome smiled at Inuyasha. “Come meet my mother now, Inuyasha.” She said, excitedly leading him into the kitchen by his hand.

“Uh, okay.” Inuyasha mumbled, and he followed her.

“Mama, this is Inuyasha. A friend from school.” Kagome introduced him.

Mrs. Higurashi studied the hanyou before her. His hand was still tightly entwined with her daughters. She smiled brightly at the two. “A friend, is he?” she asked, with a knowing smirk.

Kagome automatically knew what her mother was thinking, and let go of Inuyasha’s hand. “Yes Mom!” Kagome snapped, “ONLY a friend.”

Mrs. Higurashi sighed, and nodded. It was obvious this boy, Inuyasha was a good boy. She did hope Kagome snapped into her senses with this one. It was about time Kagome started dating anyway.

“Are you staying for dinner, Inuyasha?” Mrs. Higurashi asked.

“Yes. He is.” Kagome answered for him.

“Ah! What is that thing!” A raspy voice shouted from the doorway.

“Huh?” Kagome and Inuyasha both turned in unison to meet the eyes of an elderly man. He was glaring at Inuyasha with fright.

Kagome let out a restless sigh. ‘Here comes the hard part.’ She thought. “Gramps, this is Inuyasha. He is a friend of mine from school.” She explained, “We’re going to be very nice to him, aren’t we?”

Kagome’s grandfather looked from Inuyasha to Kagome. “But Kagome, he is a half demon---“

“Grandpa!” Mrs. Higurashi snapped, “That is no way to treat our guest. Apologize!”

Gramps mumbled angrily to himself, but soon muttered a, “Forgive my rudeness.” And he took a seat at the dinner table.

Kagome let out a relieved sigh. Now that that was over…

“Here, Inuyasha.” Kagome said, “Sit down, and I’ll set the table.” Inuyasha sat down, as told, and waited patiently. Soon enough, Kagome had finished setting the table, Mrs. Higurashi had finished cooking, and the whole family was gathered around the table, ready to eat.

They began eating. Nobody said a word, and everybody stared in Inuyasha direction. It was really awkward, to put it in shorter terms.

“Eh, Inuyasha.” Sota said, breaking the silence, “I like your ears.”

Kagome laughed inwardly as Inuyasha turned red. “Uh, thanks.” He stated, shyly.

“How do you like the meal?” Mrs. Higurashi asked.

“It’s really good.” Inuyasha said, enthusiastically, “My mother passed away, so I don’t get to eat home cooked meals often.”

“That’s a shame.” Mrs. Higurashi said, sadly, “You’re welcome to eat here whenever you’d like.”

“Thanks.” Inuyasha said, sincerely. It was apparent that he was enjoying the meal, too.

Kagome stared at him with concern. ‘I never knew that his mother died…’ she thought, sadly, ‘I wonder what happened.’

“Can Inuyasha eat here every night?” Sota asked, excitedly. Gramps and Mrs. Higurashi chuckled at Sota’s childish request.

“He’s welcome to.” Mrs. Higurashi responded, warmly.

Kagome sat right by Inuyasha’s side. For some reason she couldn’t take her eyes off of him. He was so different from most guys, but a good different. She almost couldn’t concentrate on eating because of her infatuation with him.

She noticed throughout the meal, he would look over at her too. Their eyes would meet for a split second, they would both turn red, and look away. It was humorous when Kagome thought about it, but so embarrassing when it happened. Imagine getting caught staring at somebody!

When the meal was over, Kagome wanted to ask Inuyasha to sleep over. Though, she knew that was out of the question. Why couldn’t she distance herself from him? She always found herself asking him to escort her home, or something like that. She wanted him by her side 24/7.

Not to mention, she volunteered herself as his prom date, without even telling him! ‘I forgot about that…’ Kagome thought, nervously as she walked Inuyasha to his car.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked, breaking into her thoughts, “I… thanks for inviting me.”

Kagome smiled up at him. He was so charming in his own little way. So sweet and shy. Why had she avoided him all throughout elementary school, and junior high? It didn’t make sense…

“You’re welcome.” Kagome replied shyly. ‘And why do I get so nervous just by talking to him? Why do I heat up, and why is my pulse racing?’

“I guess… I’ll see you tomorrow?” Inuyasha asked, smiling down at her. It was dim outside, almost nighttime, but Kagome could still peer into his golden eyes, and his smile was still visible.

“Yeah, tomorrow.” Kagome whispered leaning up. ‘Why is he so cute? Why does he have to be so cute… WHAT AM I DOING!??’

She didn’t realize what she was doing until her lips met his. Her eyes shut and she enjoyed the warmth of the moment. The true contentment of the moment. Inuyasha immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer into his chest.

‘What are we doing?’ Kagome wondered, but she couldn’t stop. She ran her fingers through Inuyasha’s long silvery strands.

The moment was too good to last and soon Kagome pulled away. Both of their faces were a beat red, and they just stared at each other.

They had been actually kissing for longer than it seemed, considering both were out of breath. “So tomorrow, then?” Inuyasha panted.

Kagome smiled, and nodded. “See you tomorrow, Inuyasha.” She said through heavy breaths.

Inuyasha nodded, and quickly got into his car. Kagome watched him drive off. Maybe it was stupid to do, but she didn’t want to walk away just then. It didn’t seem right. She felt all of her senses come back to her as his car disappeared.

‘Why did I do that!?’ she mentally scolded herself, ‘I’ve just ruined our friendship forever!’ She felt hot tears rolling down her cheeks. ‘I’m such an idiot! He must HATE me!”

She turned, and ran into her house. She didn’t let the tears spill any further until she was safely inside of her room. Where she didn’t have to face Inuyasha, or anybody. Though that kiss replayed inside of her head, repeatedly.
