Chapter 7: Hojo and Kagome? A couple?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome ran up to InuYasha, grinning from ear to ear. InuYasha smiled at her, he loved to see her so happy.

"InuYasha guess what?!"

"What?" He said excitedly.

"I'm going on a date with Hojo!" A pained look crossed InuYasha's face. He forced a smile and found it kind of hard to speak. His voice was starting out shaky but he forced it to become stable.

"Who's Hojo?"

"He was our captain for the food fight remember?"

"Oh, yeah." He replied unenthusiastically. Miroku and Sango looked at InuYasha. 'Oh, crap' they both thought to themselves.

"Hey InuYasha do you want to come to my house tomorrow? We can watch movies and do some other stuff." InuYasha just shrugged and looked at the floor. "Come on buddy it will be fun!" InuYasha realized that Miroku wanted to cheer him up, nodded his head and mumbled a soft okay.

"Ok, come to my house at around 6:30."

BRINNNNNG BRINNNNG!

"Mom, can you get the door for me please! It's probably Sango!"

"Sure hunny!" Kagome's mom opened the door to see Sango. "Come in dear. Kagome's is waiting for you upstairs. She's been fussing ever since she got home." Sango laughed and ran up the stairs to Kagome's room.

"Hey, Kagome!" Sango said as she walked through her best friend's doorway. Kagome was in her closet throwing clothes around. Sango joined her friend on her hands and knees. Flipping through the stuff that was still hanging on the hangers she started pulling out clothes. When she was done there was a half a dozen outfits on Kagome's bed. "Kagome where are you and Hojo going for your date?"

"We're going to a movie I think." Sango walked over to Kagome's bed.

"Here wear this. It suits just about any occasion, and will look good anywhere." It was a dark green spaghetti strap dress with a pair of dark green shoes to match. Kagome went into the bathroom put the outfit on and walked into her bedroom so she could show Sango. "It's lovely! You look so good!" The dark green brought out the violet of Kagome's eyes, and it suited her hair just as well. "How about we go show Miroku and InuYasha seeing how as I came early." Kagome looked at her best friend suspiciously.

"You came early on purpose!" Sango smiled. "I don't want them to make fun of me!" Kagome said in an insecure tone. Sango raised her eyebrow at her.

"InuYasha make fun of you? Fat chance. And so what if I came early on purpose. I told you I would."
They walked over to Miroku's house where the boys were spending the night. "Hey, Miroku open up!" Sango turned to Kagome. "By the way, they weren't expecting us!" Kagome shook her head at her friend.

The two were not waiting outside for very long when InuYasha came to the door. He opened it slowly yelling something at Miroku about getting his own door. He turned and his amber eyes fell on Kagome. He swallowed hard. She smiled slightly as his jaw nearly unhinged itself.

"Kagome you- you- you look beautiful!" He managed to stutter as he stepped out of their way so it was easy to get in the house.

"Thank you InuYasha." She had been sitting in the living room for a while talking with InuYasha. Laughing about things that had happened at school and blushing non-stop as he kept complimenting her. Miroku groped Sango and a loud slap was heard. Kagome looked at the clock on the wall. It read 6:45. "Oh, god! I'm going to be late!" She said standing up quickly.

Kagome got back to her house just in time for Hojo to pick her up in his car and leave. "Wow, Kagome you look beautiful!" Kagome blushed.

"Thank you Hojo."

Hojo looked at Kagome and said, "We're going to go see that new movie that just came out at the theatre on the south side." Kagome nodded. That was all she could do. She was nervous so she found it hard to say much to him.

At the theatre Hojo bought the tickets and the popcorn and drink. They handed their tickets to the usher and went and got their seats. Hojo looked at Kagome. He had a wry smile on his lips.

"Kagome can I kiss you?" At this comment Kagome went a deep shade of red and thanked the heavens for the dark of the theatre. She nodded only slightly feeling it unnecessary to answer him verbally. Hojo leaned toward her and Kagome, who was slightly afraid, found herself leaning into him as well. When their lips locked Kagome thought she might die of happiness. It was a passionate one and demanded her full attention. When Kagome finally broke the kiss Hojo came back for more. After about 15 minutes of the kiss and break, kiss and break, they started watching the movie. Hojo put his hand on Kagome's lap.

At one of the scary parts Kagome screamed and pushed her head into Hojo's chest. When Kagome looked up Hojo was looking at her. He reached down to her face and gave her a tender kiss. She smiled feeling safe in his arms.

"Get a room!" Somebody yelled from the row behind them. Hojo and Kagome both blushed.

"So how about it Kagome?" Kagome looked at Hojo, she was shocked at what he said. At first she figured he was kidding and went to play along when she saw InuYasha's sad face when she told him about the date. For some reason she couldn't bring herself to hurt him and even refused to joke about the deed.

"No, I can't Hojo." He looked confused.

"Why not?" Kagome pulled away from him.

"Because I said no." he sat rigidly in the chair a scowl coming across his lips.

"Ok, whatever." Kagome went back to watching the movie. She screamed at another scary part of the movie but kept to herself feeling his coldness. He sighed thinking it would be stupid to end the date on a bad note so he pulled her close and hugged her. She relaxed again and didn't move. "Sorry for getting mad, I was only kidding though. I'd never be that mean to you." He whispered to her and she nodded. He was perfect. The moment was perfect. There was no reason to catch the falseness in his apology.

"So Kagome isn't back yet? All right thanks Mrs. Higurashi. Tell her InuYasha called okay?" InuYasha hung up the phone and sighed. He looked at the clock it was 9:35, Kagome should be home by now. If only Kagome had never moved. If only he had been more clear on that first day of school. If only he had written letters to her himself. If only...he couldn't keep doing the if only's. Either Kagome loved him or she didn't. Obviously she didn't.

Miroku seeing the expression on his friend's face started trying to teach him a new card game. But InuYasha couldn't concentrate on the card game...all he could concentrate on was Kagome.

After the movie Hojo drove Kagome home. When they got to her house he looked over at her.

"I had fun. Do I get a good bye kiss?" Kagome looked at him a playful smile forming on her lips.

"Maybe, maybe not." Kagome teased.

"Don't tease me!" he said in a harsher tone than he meant. Kagome moved away a bit and he realised his mistake. "Or I'll just steal a kiss from you." he finished lamely trying to make it sound less threatening. Kagome laughed, his rused worked. She smiled and was about to say something but was silenced by Hojo's lips on hers. Kagome leaned back but was pulled in by another one. She closed her eyes giving in and envisioned a crushed InuYasha she pulled away completely.

"I've got to go Hojo talk to you later." Hojo scowled and nodded. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Kagome got out of the car and ran inside immediately calling Sango. She couldn't wait to tell her all the details.
