InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Right in front of you ❯ What did she say?! ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha.

Chapter six

“Come on Inuyasha, you didn’t take this long before to put them on, so why are you taking your time now?” Please god don’t let him be having a problem with the zipper or anything like that. Though maybe it wouldn’t be too bad, he is wearing boxers, though it would be better if he wasn’t... Ok, I really have spent way too much time around Miroku. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, before glaring again at the door to the bathroom.

“I am putting them on, and last time you weren’t talking to me about what I am and am not to do…. If you shut up maybe I wouldn’t be taking so long.” Inuyasha said as he zipped up his pants. She’s making me nervous, and why do I need to know all this shit, we’re just going out to eat. Is it going to be like this every time we go out? It wasn’t like this before when she had me go with her to get supplies, so why is she doing this now?

“Well sorry if I want you to know where we’re going, and you need to know what to do and not to do. You’ve never been anywhere like this before and I don’t want something to happen.” Kagome said as she lend against the wall outside the bathroom and sighed.

“What could happen, Kagome? We’re just going to get something to eat. And I don’t see why we can’t eat here.” Inuyasha said as he looked at himself in the mirror before joining Kagome in the hall. This is dumb, I look dumb I feel dumb, this whole thing is dumb. I can’t wear my clothes, I can’t act like myself, I can’t talk unless she’s tells me I can, fuck! This is supposed to be fun, so then why aren’t I having any? Fuck!

“You’re the one who wanted to go out so bad today, so do you not want to anymore?” Why doesn't he want to go out anymore? Maybe he regrets having me sit in his lap when we were watching the movie. If he regrets that, then maybe he won’t ever want to be with me. No, I'm not going to think like that.

“Feh. I didn’t say I didn’t want to go out, I said ‘why can’t we eat here’. I still want to go out; I just don’t know why we’re just going out to eat, when we can do that right here. I want to do something we can’t do here.” This whole going out just to eat is fucking bullshit. She probably doesn't want anyone seeing me with her in daylight here.

“We can’t eat what we’re going to eat here.” Kagome said as she started down the stairs. I hope he likes it, because it’s been a long time since I’ve had it.

“And why is that?” Inuyasha asked as he started after her. What kind of food are we getting that we can’t get here?

“Because we don’t have it here, and I don’t want to order it, that’s why.” Kagome said as she grabbed Inuyasha's hat. Ok, I have my wallet with the card in it, got my keys to the house. Man, I wish I could drive. Ok, looks like I got everything.

Taking the hat from Kagome and putting it on with a glare, Inuyasha asked, “Order it?” Order? How can she order food from here, there's no one here but us?

“Yeah you call the place and they send you the food you want. But I don’t want to do that. So we’re going to go out and get the food ourselves.” Kagome answered, with her hand up to her ear like a phone. I know I'm forgetting something but what?

“Call?” Inuyasha asked getting more and more confused. While he’d seen Kagome and her family on the phone before, he had no idea what it was or what it did. Call who, and how?

“You’ve seen that thing we hold to our ears right, the one we talk into?” Duh, he doesn't know what a phone is.

“Yeah.” The thing they always use to talk to themselves that’s what they use. Well that explains why I heard another voice coming from it.

“Well you use that to call them and tell them what you want.” It’s like telling a two year old what everything is and does. No, a two year ago would know more then he does. This is so going to be harder than I thought it was going to be.

“Oh.” Inuyasha said blinking a few times. And here I thought that they just like to talk to themselves.

“Ok, well I don’t want to do that so that’s why we’re going out to get it ourselves.” Kagome said as she went around making sure all the doors were locked. Why haven’t I been telling him about anything about here for the past three years?

“Feh, what are we gong to get?” Crossing his arms, Inuyasha watched Kagome run around checking everything.

“You’ll see when we get there. Now remember let me do the talking.” Not that he would know what to say if I didn’t.

“What if I don’t like it, are we going to come back here and eat something else?” Maybe I can still get some ramen.

“Maybe, but I think you’ll like it. And if we do have to come back you’re not getting ramen so don’t think to lie just to get it.” If he thinks he’s going to get ramen by saying he doesn't like it he’s got another thing coming.

“I wasn’t going to.” Inuyasha said blushing. Damn.

“Sure you weren’t.” Kagome said giving Inuyasha a look that said she knew he was lying. “Are you ready to go?” What am I forgetting, I know there's something. Oh this is going to drive me nuts.

“I guess.” What does she have against ramen?

Walking towards the door, Kagome turned to Inuyasha, “Ok, then let’s go. And Inuyasha?”

“What?” Inuyasha growled. He as getting tired of Kagome telling what he could and couldn’t do over and over again. I thought Souta was bad about saying things over and over again but he’s got nothing on Kagome.

“Don’t ask any questions while we’re out, if you want to know something just wait until we’re back here, or when I tell you it’s okay to ask them.” What is it I'm forgetting, I know it’s important. So why can’t I think of what it is? I thought for a minute that it was to tell him not to ask questions, but I still feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh well, most not be that important.

“And why can’t I ask you anything Kagome?” Inuyasha asked stopping half to the door. What is she afraid I’ll embarrass her? If that’s the case she shouldn’t have asked me to come with her. This is such shit; I’ll talk if I want to damn it! I don’t need her to tell me I can’t.

“Because people here don’t ask questions about things. Most people know what they are already, so it would look bad if you didn’t. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know, just not around people.” Kagome said walking back to Inuyasha.

“Why are you making this harder then it has to be Kagome?” So she doesn't want me to be myself at all? Why am I even here?

“I am not making it harder. I'm just being careful.” Doesn't he understand that I don’t want anything to happen to him? If anything happened it would be my fault.

“Careful of what? Why won’t you tell me Kagome?” What the hell could happen to me here, and if it’s so bad why did she bring me here?

“Nothing you need to worry about.” Maybe I should tell him. No it just piss him off, or he’d just tell me I'm being stupid. That they can’t do anything to him.

“The hell I don’t have to worry about it. If I have to be careful about what I say, what I do, hell what I wear then I sure as hell do need to know!” Inuyasha yelled. Why won’t she tell me? How bad could it be?

“Inuyasha there aren’t any youkai here, and people won’t know what to make of you, so it’s better that they think you’re just like everyone else.” Maybe I can tell him some of it; he won’t know that I'm not telling him the whole thing.

“I know that! I’ve been coming here to get you for years Kagome, don’t you think I've figured that out?” Inuyasha yelled turning away from Kagome. Ok, that’s a lie, I haven’t seen any youkai, but I have smelled them. They must be able to pass themselves off as human here, at least looks wise. But I'm not going to tell Kagome that, let her believe that there aren’t any here.

“If they see that you aren’t human then they might do something to try and hurt you, or me, or my family. And I don’t want to chance that ok, so just live with it!”

Like I would let anyone hurt Kagome or her family. Inuyasha thought before he turned back around and glared at Kagome, “Don’t you think the color of my hair and eyes are going to give me away either way?” Why did I say that, now she’s going to want to change that too, how I don’t know but I know she’ll try? And it’s not like I don’t know what it’s like to stick out; I stick out every day back home!

“No, people dye their hair here all the time and there's things people can put in their eyes to make them look different, so we don’t have to worry about that either.” People would kill for his hair and eye color.

“What kind of things could they put in their eyes to change how they look?” Why would anyone put anything in their eyes just to change the color?

“Well their little pieces of glass that people put in their eyes.” Kagome said acting like she was putting in a contact.

“They put glass in their eyes?” Inuyasha asked with a look of horror on his face. What the hell is wrong with these people?

“Well kind of…. I don’t know it’s hard to explain.” Kagome said rubbing her head. How the hell can I explain contacts?

“Sounds dumb to me.” And she thinks my time’s weird.

“Well people like to do that here. But yeah it’s kind of dumb just to do it to change their eye color, but a lot of people do it so they can see better. That’s what they’re really for.” Why did I even bring this up?

“How do they do that?” Inuyasha asked shocked, first she tells him that people put glass in their eyes to change the color, and now she’s telling him that it can help people see. How the hell can a piece of glass in your eye make you see better?

“I don’t really know how but they do.” Kagome said. Shit, how do they?

“Feh.” Inuyasha said crossing his arms, while hoping he didn’t look half as confused as he felt.

“Let’s go.” Kagome said as she took Inuyasha hand and headed for the door again, all the while trying to hide the blush that was coloring her cheeks. But if she had looked up she would have seen Inuyasha’s blush. Letting go of Inuyasha’s hand Kagome started to put her shoes on.

“Why are you stopping?” Inuyasha asked as he lend on the wall and crossed his arms.

“I have to put on my shoes… oh shit that’s what I forgot! Shoes! You need shoes!”

Kagome said looking at Inuyasha’s bare feet. How the hell could I forget shoes?! We can’t get in there if he doesn't have shoes on.

“No.” Inuyasha said in a low voice, that was almost a growl. There's no way in hell I'm wearing shoes.

“What?” Please tell me he didn’t just say no.

“I said no, I hate shoes Kagome, and I’m not wearing them.” No fucking way in hell.

Sighing Kagome looked at Inuyasha, and hoped she’d be able to get him into some shoes without having to sit him to do it. “Inuyasha there are places where you have to, and we’re going to one of them.” What's so bad about him having to wear shoes? Well his claws on his feet, but I'm sure I can find him some sandals or something like that.

“Then pick a different place because I'm not wearing any.” Inuyasha said as he crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.

“Inuyasha please? Just give me a minute and I’ll find something you won’t totally hate, please?” Kagome begged looking at Inuyasha with the best puppy dog eyes she could do.

“Fine. But if I don’t like how they feel Kagome I'm not wearing them, got it?” Damn Kagome and those damn eyes. Inuyasha thought darkly.

“Thank you.” Kagome said as she ran back up stairs. Please let there be some sandals in daddy’s things. Please. Kagome thought as she threw clothes out of Meia’s closet. After throwing almost all of the clothes out of their boxes she found a pair. Yes! Though they looked like they might be a little big for him… well they’ll have to work for now. We’ll get him some that will fit right tomorrow. Kagome thought as she headed back to Inuyasha. “Ok try these on.” Kagome said handing Inuyasha the sandals.

“You owe me Kagome. I hate shoes; I hate this bandanna, and these clothes. This better all be worth it Kagome because if it’s not...” Inuyasha let the rest of the sentence die as he looked at her. She looks so happy. Well I guess I can live with this, for a while anyway.

“You’ll have fun I promise. You’ll see. You might even have so much fun that when it’s time for us to go back that you may not want to.” Once she finished putting on her own shoes Kagome grabbed his hand again and after locking the door headed out.

“Feh, I doubt that.” Inuyasha mumbled as Kagome dragged him down the stairs of the shrine.

~Twenty minutes later~

“Kagome…”

“Inuyasha I told you to wait until we get a seat before you ask anything. You didn’t say anything on the way over here; could you just wait a little longer?”

“Damn place reeks.” Inuyasha grumbled as they looked around for a seat away from everyone. She said when we got here, damn it she wouldn’t even let me talk on the way over here.

No sooner had they found a seat and sat down then Kagome started telling Inuyasha her plans for them the next day. “So tomorrow we’re going to get you some more clothes, but I don’t think that will take too long so I thought that we could see a movie.” Might as well make some small talk while I decide what kind to get.

“Movie? Like what we watched on the TV thing today?” Why does she keep having us do things that we can do at her house? I thought we were here so I could see things I haven’t before.

“Yeah like that, only there will be people around us and the screen is a lot bigger, and it’s a lot louder too, but you’ll have your bandanna on so that might help.” Kagome said moving her arms around and ending up with her finger on her chin. If we do go I’ll have to find a movie he’ll like, man I don’t even know what's playing.

“How much louder Kagome? Because I don’t want to go if I'm going to go deaf in there.” Inuyasha asked, his ears flattening even more to his head. If it’s loud to human ears then it’s going to be hell on mine.

“You’re not going to go deaf in there Inuyasha. It’s louder but not that loud.” Does he think I would take him somewhere that could hurt him? Okay so I brought him here and he could get hurt here but not if we’re careful.

“Maybe not for your ears but in case you forgot I have a lot better hearing then you.” And I don’t want that to change. If I lose even part of my hearing god only knows what could happen. I sure as hell wont be able to hear her if she’s in danger.

“No, I haven’t forgotten, I just don’t think it’s going to hurt you, and if it does we’ll leave. Ok?” Rub it in my face that your senses are better then mine why don’t you. And how could I forget, those cute ears make it hard to. Kagome thought trying not to giggle when she thought about his ears.

“Yeah, whatever. Can we eat now?”

“Yeah you stay here and I’ll go order our food. Be right beck.”

“You will stop telling me what to do all ready?” Inuyasha growled as Kagome started to stand. I'm tried of her treating me like a damn pup.

Sitting back down Kagome said, “I'm not telling you what to do, I'm reminding you what not to do, and I didn’t tell you not to do anything, I just said stay here.” I was wondering when he was finally going to do this, I wish he could have waited until we got back home.

“Fine, then stop reminding me what not to do.” Inuyasha growled.

“Fine I’ll stop.” For tonight anyway.

“Thank you.” Inuyasha said crossing his arms and leaning back in his seat. Why do I have the feeling that she’s not going to keep that promise?

“Now can I go order the food?” Well that was easy.

“Yes.” What the hell she is going to get anyway? I’ve never seen any kind of food that looks like this before. Inuyasha thought as he looked around the restaurant.

“Great, I’ll be right back.” Kagome said walking over to the counter.

“Hi, can I help you?” The women behind the counter asked with a large smile. Kagome looked at her name tag which said her name was Ann.

“Yes, umm. A large combination pizza and two large cokes please.” Maybe I should get two. With how much Inuyasha eats I might not get any. Then again if he doesn't like pizza then I'm going to have it all to myself. Good thing I can get a box for it and take it home.

“Alright, anything else?” Ann said with the same smile.

“No that’s all” How the hell can she keep that smile on? I'm cheek's hurt just looking at it.

“Alright that will be $13.55.”

Handing the card to Ann, Kagome looked over to see what Inuyasha was doing, which wasn’t much, but what she did see was all the women looking at him. Too bad lady’s he’s all mine, well he will be soon.

“Thank you.” Kagome said as she took back the card. Oh who cares he’s still with me here not them, and not Kikyo. Kagome couldn’t hide her smile at her last thought.

“We’ll call you when it’s done, which should be in about ten minutes.” Ann said as she handed Kagome her soda’s still smiling like her life was on the line.

“Alright.” As Kagome sat back down with Inuyasha and handed him his soda, Kagome couldn’t help but give all the women looking at her with him a nice big smile that said one thing, mine.

“So you going to tell me what the hell you ordered for us to eat?” It’s not like it’s going to kill her to tell me. She is going to do this every time that we go somewhere, god I hope not because I don’t know if I can take it. I hate not knowing things.

“Oh yeah I haven’t told you yet have I?” Kagome said in her most innocent voice.

“No, you haven’t, you said you would tell me here, well we’re here and I'm still waiting to know.”

“Well we’re getting pizza, and I got us both sodas. You like coke right?” I thought he would have read the sign outside, he still wouldn’t have known what it was, but at least he would have known the name of it. Well maybe he thought it was the name of this place.

“Yeah I like coke, but what the hell is pizza?” What kind of name is pizza for food? It doesn't even sound like a word let alone food.

“You’ll see when it’s done, or you could look around and see what everyone else has. I hope you like it I got us a combination.” Maybe I should have just gotten a cheese pizza, at least I know he likes cheese. Well if he doesn't like it we can always stop on the way home for a burger or something for him. I know he’ll eat that, it’s meat. Well at least that’s what thy say it is. Who am I kidding, if he doesn't like the pizza then I’ll just make him some ramen when we get back home.

“And that is?” Inuyasha asked with a raised eyebrow. Combination? Combination of what? And I have seen what they’re all eating, that doesn't mean I know what the hell it is.

“Well it has a little of everything.” God let him like it. Oh know am I kidding Inuyasha will eat just about anything so I don’t have to worry about him not liking pizza.

“Like?” That doesn't tell me a damn thing about what's on it.

“You’ll see.” Why do I have to tell him everything, can’t he just wait and see what it is when it’s done?

“I don’t see why you can’t just tell me what's on it.”

“Because it’s easier if you just see it, that’s why.” And it hard to explain thing like this. It’s not like I’ve ever had to do it before.

“Whatever.” I'm going to remember that next time she wants me to tell her something about my time. We’ll see how much she likes it.

“Come on Inuyasha don’t you trust me?” Kagome asked with her best innocent face.

“What's that got to do with you telling me what's on this pizza thing?” Trust her? If I didn’t trust her I wouldn’t be here in these stupid clothes, and I sure as hell wouldn’t be eating something called pizza.

Sighing Kagome shook her head, “Nothing, never mind.”

“It’s not never mind…” Before Inuyasha could finish Ann came with their pizza, and cokes.

“Here’s your order.” Ann said as she put their pizza down, while she looked at Inuyasha.

“Umm, wasn’t I supposed to pick it up?” Kagome asked confused. She did say she would call me when it was done didn’t she? Oh man did they call me and I didn’t hear?

“I decided to bring it over for you.” Ann said, before she added, “Ok, to be honest the reason I brought it over was to ask you what kind of dye you use on your hair? I just love the color, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a silver so beautiful before, you just have to tell me what kind of coloring you use.” Ann asked Inuyasha with a begging look.

“Umm….” Crap. What is she talking about? Wait Kagome said something about people dyeing their hair here. So she must think I…. Well what the hell am I suppose to tell her? Lucky for Inuyasha that Kagome jumped in.

“Sorry, but it’s not something you can buy, well I guess you could but it came out this way because of his natural hair color.” Thank god I thought about how to answer this before we left. I knew someone would ask him how he got that color; even with dye no one has silver hair like that.

“Oh what's your natural hair color?”

“He’s blond; it’s almost white actually so when he puts the silver color in it looks like that.” Kagome said with a swiping gesture towards Inuyasha. Man I hope she believes that. It sounded good in my head, but now that I hear it out loud I'm not so sure.

“Oh, well I guess I could try bleaching my hair before I color it. Then maybe I could get mine to look like that then. Well you and your boyfriend have a good night.” With that Ann walked back to the counter, missing the blush that colored both Kagome's and Inuyasha’s cheeks from her words.

“So can we eat now?” Inuyasha said as his hand started inching towards the pizza.

“Yeah, just grab a piece. And eat it like this.” Kagome said as she grabbed one herself and started eating. I'm having to teach him how to eat pizza. Oh who am I kidding, no one has to teach Inuyasha how to eat.

As if reading her mind, Inuyasha said, “I think I know how to eat Kagome.” It’s not hard to eat, what does she think I am, an idiot?

“Yeah, I hadn’t noticed.” Kagome said rolling her eyes.

“Haha, very funny.” Inuyasha said as he took a bite. Not bad. It may look weird, but it’s actually pretty good.

“Well?” Kagome asked, hiding her hands under the table so Inuyasha wouldn’t be able to see that she had her fingers crossed. Please like it.

“Not bad.” Ramen's better still, but I could get use to this.

“Not bad? That’s all you have to say.” He could at least say it really good, or something.

“It’s good. But I still like ramen better.”

“I'm never going to get why you like ramen so much.” Singing Kagome turned to her own pizza and started eating. How did I know he was going to say that?

“What’s not to like about it?” Inuyasha said around a mouth full of food. Why doesn't she like ramen?

“Nothing’s wrong with it, you’re right ramen's hard to beat.” If you don’t care what your food tastes like.

“Damn right it is.”

“But you do like pizza?” Kagome asked again. Still not completely sure that he really liked it. I'm going to find something he likes better then ramen while we’re here if it kills me.

“Yes Kagome, I like it.” Inuyasha said getting a bit annoyed that she kept asking him that after he had already told her he did. I already told her I like it, so why is she having me tell her again?

“Good.” Smiling Kagome started eating again. It really had been too long since she’d had pizza, and who knew the next time Kagome would be able to get some after she went back to the feudal era. Well he may not like it better then ramen, but at least he likes it. This way I can order it or take him here again for it instead of ramen. Man, why did I ever bring ramen there? Well it’s not like I knew he would love it so much. And to think I use to like to eat it.

“Kagome?”

“Yeah?”

“Next time we have this though do you think we could just stay at your house.” Inuyasha asked as he grabbed another piece. This was a waste of time. I like the food, but I don’t see the point in coming here every time just to eat it and she did say she could order it on that phone thing.

Trying not to jump for joy that Inuyasha actually wanted to eat pizza again, Kagome turned to him and tried not to look as happy as she felt, “I guess, why?” Yay! One more thing he’ll eat besides ramen. Maybe after this is over he won’t love ramen so much… Ok, not going to happen, but a girl can dream.

“I just don’t see the need to come here for it, you did say that they would bring it over to your house didn’t you?”

“Yeah, well I guess that’s alright.”

“Great.”

“So what kind of movie would you like to see tomorrow?” He’s going to say horror I just know it.

“I don’t know, what kind of movies are there?” What was that one called we watch today again? I wouldn’t mind a watching something like that again. And it gives me a reason to hold Kagome without getting sat.

“Ummm….” Maybe I can tell him the kinds and leave out horror. Though it wasn’t so bad watching the one today with him, well not after he sat me in his lap.

“How about something like what we watched today?” Inuyasha asked, getting tired of waiting for Kagome to say something, plus he really did want another reason to hold her like he had done early.

“You mean a horror movie?” I knew he was going to ask about that kind. Well I guess he’ll just be holding me though the one tomorrow… Yay!

“Yeah, unless you’re going to admit that they scare you.” Inuyasha said, with a look of challenge of his face and in his voice. Like she’s going to admit that she was scared.

“They do not scare me. And I'm fine with seeing a horror movie tomorrow. Just don’t be thinking any of the monsters in it are real.” Kagome said blushing, as she crossed her arms and tried as hard as she could not to sit him. I'm not about to tell him they scare me. Even if he does already know. He already thinks I'm weak, I'm not about to give him another reason to think I am.

Glaring at Kagome, Inuyasha tried not to growl when he answered her, “I'm not going to, the one on the TV didn’t look anything like a youkai. And I can smell you know, I know when something’s a youkai or not.” Has she forgotten that little fact? Ok so when I first came here I did attack a few things, but that’s not my fault! I didn’t know what the hell they were. They could have been youkai for all I knew.

“I know you can smell that their not, but the one we were watching today was an old one. The new ones look a lot more real.” Plus there were those times when he attacked the volleyball at school, and then there was the photo booth…

“Doesn't matter, I can tell the difference.” Does she really think that them being old is going to matter?

“Alright.” Reaching for another piece of pizza, only to hit the plate, Kagome looked from the pizza to Inuyasha, “Jeez Inuyasha, you ate over half the pizza already. I’ve only had one piece so far. Well that’s it for you, I'm cutting you off.” I can’t believe it, and here I thought he was going to take his time eating, should have known better. Man there's only three pieces left.

“What? You can’t do that. It’s not my fault that you been talking instead of eating.” Blushing Inuyasha looked away, while inching his hand towards the pizza, hoping Kagome wouldn’t see him until he had a piece. Cutting me off my ass, I'm still hungry.

“Well unlike you I don’t talk with my mouth full.” He’s the reason I can’t get Shippo to stop talking with his mouth full. Kagome thought glaring at Inuyasha.

“Feh.” I can talk with my mouth full if I want to.

“Look if you’re still hungry, when we get back to my house I’ll give you something else to eat.”

“Like…” Ramen, ramen, ramen…

“Ramen.” Kagome said with sigh. At least I don’t have to eat it.

“Great. Hurry up so we can go.” Inuyasha said smiling.

“Inuyasha don’t rush me. I want to enjoy my food. Please?” Kagome said with the puppy dog eyes again. Gets him every time.

“Feh. So what else are we going to do here?”

“It’s a surprise.” It is a surprise… For the both of us. I'm still thinking of everything I should show him, but I have plenty of ideas.

“Surprise?” Why do I get the feeling she doesn't know what she’s going to show me?

“Yup.” Kagome said making sure she didn’t look at him.

“Well can you at least give me an idea?” Inuyasha asked as he grabbed a piece of pizza while Kagome was looking away, and ate half of it before hiding it under the table so Kagome wouldn’t see it. Got it! Now all I have to do is figure out how to eat the rest of it without her seeing it.

“If I did that then it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?” Kagome said holding up a finger and winking.

“Feh.” Look away again, I want to eat this, damn it.

“Good.” Kagome said smiling as she finished the last piece of pizza, at least what she thought was the last piece, “Well that’s it for the pizza, what do you want to do now?” I could swear there was another piece, so then where did it go? Did Inuyasha? No, he didn’t have a chance to get one. Huh, guess I was wrong.

While Kagome was looking at the now empty plate, Inuyasha finished his piece before she could see, “I don’t know, aren’t you suppose to be the one picking things for us to do?”

“Well yeah, but I just wanted to know if there was anything that you might want to do before we head back to my house.” Where to take him? Maybe the park, he’d like it there, and it kind of smells like a forest…

“I just want to walk around a bit.” Thinking for a second he added, “Somewhere that doesn't smell bad” After another second thought, Inuyasha sighed and added, “Or at least smells a little better then it does in here.”

Park it is. “Well there's a park a few blocks from my house. We’ll go by there before going back home.”

“Alright.” Inuyasha said. Park? Whatever, I’ll see what that is soon enough.

“I'm guessing you want to go now?”

“Yeah, so.” Inuyasha asked giving Kagome a small glare.

“Alright let me use the bathroom and then we can go.” Kagome said as she got up and headed for the bathroom.

“Feh.” Looking around Inuyasha saw the waitress who had brought the food over earlier coming over.

“Hello again.” Ann said as she sat across from Inuyasha, where Kagome had been not a minute before.

“Feh.” What the hell is she doing?

“Where did that girl of yours go?” Inuyasha pointed over to the bathroom. “Oh, so she left you all by yourself? Well that wasn’t very nice of her. Well I’ll keep you company until she gets back.

“Whatever.” Leaning back, Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked away from Ann, hoping that she would see that he didn’t want to talk to her and leave him alone.

Not taking the hint Ann kept talking, “You know I didn’t really bring you two your pizza to ask you about your hair. I mean it’s sexy as fuck, but I don’t dye my hair, but I do like guys who do.” Ann said as she reached over a played with his hair.

Pulling back so she wouldn’t be able to reach him, Inuyasha tried his best not to growl at her, “…….” Kagome better be grateful for this. If I hadn’t promised her that I wouldn’t growl, or yell, or hit anything, then this woman never would have even sat down.

Pouting a bit that he pulled away, Ann pulled her hand back, and gave smiled at Inuyasha as though she thought he was playing a game with her, “Not much of a talker are you?”

“Feh.” What the hell does she want? And why is she acting so friendly to me, she doesn't even know me… And that damn look she’s giving me looks way too much like the one Miroku would give women when he would ask them to bare his children. Fuck, if she even starts to ask me to father her children I'm out of here, I don’t care if Kagome sits me to hell and back.

“Well that’s alright, I bet you’re a thinker. Right? I can always tell what people are even when I just meet them and they don’t even need to say a lot.”

“That’s great.” I'm a thinker? Well I guess compared to her all people are thinkers.

Leaning in closer Ann whispers, “So what are you doing with a girl like that? Someone like you shouldn’t be with a little girl. No you should be with a woman, if you know what I mean. But of course you do. Like I said you’re a thinker, you know just what I mean.”

“She’s not a little girl.” Inuyasha growled. I tried I really did, but not even Buddha himself could keep his head with this woman!

“You only think that because you’ve never been with a real woman before, but I could change that for you.”

“Feh.” I'm not going to hit her. I'm not going to hit her… Inuyasha chanted in his mind while digging his claws into his hand.

Without either Inuyasha or Ann knowing it, Kagome had come out of the bathroom and was watching everything going on between them. What the hell?! That bitch!

“See you know I'm right. She might be a nice fuck but she can’t beat a real woman who knows what she’s doing. Maybe when she gets older she’ll be a good fuck, but right now, well like I said she’s not right for you.” Ann said as she ran her hands over herself.

Little girl, huh? Oh we’ll see who’s a little girl when I beat the crap out of you! Kagome thought as she dug her nails into her hand to keep herself from killing Ann right that second.

“You don’t know me, and you don’t know what I want or need.” Inuyasha said growling. What I need is Kagome to hurry her ass up so we can leave!

“Oh but I do, I even know what you’re thinking right now. That’s how much of a link we have going on between us.”

Link?! How can she have a link with him when they just met? What bullshit. And why the hell isn’t Inuyasha yelling at her to leave him alone? If I ever did anything like that with him, he would be yelling his ass off. Crying Kagome tied to stop watching as Ann and Inuyasha kept talking.

“I doubt you know what I'm thinking or what I want; if you did you wouldn’t be here right now…”

“Oh really? Want me to tell you?” Ann said as she lend forward until, Inuyasha could see down her shirt.

“I could care less.” Inuyasha said glaring at her, before turning away and looked around hoping to see Kagome. When he didn’t see her, Inuyasha tried to figure out how to get away from Ann without doing something that wouldn’t make Kagome mad and have him end up with a broken back.

“Oh don’t be shy, I know you want me. See I do know what you’re thinking. And the other thing your thinking is that you don’t know what to say to that girl you came with, well not without telling her how you want a real woman.”

“You’re not even close.” I can’t take it anymore! Real woman my ass. A real woman doesn't act like this. They act like Sango and Meia…They act like Kagome. The last part made Inuyasha smile.

“What?” Ann asked leaning back with a shocked look on her face.

“I said you’re not even close. I don’t want you, I am very happy with who I'm with, and if I want a real woman I don’t have to go looking else where, when I'm already with one. Now get up and leave before you make even more of idiot of yourself than you already have.”

“And here I thought you were a real man.”

Finally seeing Kagome, Inuyasha stood up, “You have no idea what kind of man I am. And you really don’t want to.” Inuyasha said flashing his fang before going over to Kagome. “Come on lets go.” As he said this Inuyasha took Kagome’s hand and lead her out of the restaurant.

Once they were away from the pizza place and away from people, Kagome stopped and tried not to let her tears fall. Did…. Did he really say that to her about me? Well of course he did. I was standing right there… He must have seen me, that’s why he said what he did. He probably didn’t want to hurt my feelings, that or he was talking about Kikyo when he said that. Kagome thought as she looked at Inuyasha, Kagome decided not to even ask him what happened in there because truthfully she was scared to know.

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked looking at Kagome. He could smell that she was close to tears, but what Inuyasha couldn’t figure out was why. Did I say something to hurt her? All I did was try and get the woman to leave me alone. Ok, so I did make it sound like Kagome andI were together, but I made sure she wasn’t around for that. So she couldn’t know that I said anything like that. Damn that stupid human, couldn’t even understand that I didn’t want her near me. And what the hell was she going on about?

“Yeah?” Kagome said as she started walking back to the shrine, hoping Inuyasha wouldn’t be able to hear how choked up she was.

“Why the hell are you upset now?” Inuyasha said as he grabbed her arm and made her look at him. Nice going asshole. Why can’t I be nice to her? Damn it, every time I even try I say something rude, and hurt her. Fucking idiot!

“What are you talking about? I'm not upset. But I do want to get home. Its getting cold and I didn’t bring a jacket.” Braking Inuyasha’s hold on her Kagome stated walking again. Please god, let him just believe me. I just want to go home and forget this ever happened!

“Don’t give me that bullshit, I can smell it Kagome. What the fuck did I do this time to get you upset?!”

“You didn’t do anything, so let it go!” It’s not right! He shouldn’t be able to know how I'm feeling if I don’t want him to. Instead of letting it go, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome around the waist and jumped onto one of the buildings and set her down. “Inuyasha what the hell are you doing? Get us down from here now before someone sees us!”

“No! You’re going to tell me what's wrong, and until you do you’re not getting down.” She can sit me all she wants, I don’t care.

“I told you there's nothing wrong Inuyasha.”

Fuck being nice, if she’s going to lie to my face like this then I don’t give a shit, “Damn it, Kagome. You always do this. You always get upset with me, and half the time I don’t even know what I've done. But when I try and find out what I’ve done you either sit me, or yell at me that nothings wrong. Then I get to hear from Sango or Miroku, hell even Shippo that it’s my fault, that you’re just trying to be nice to me, that I should be nicer to you! Oh but that’s not all, oh no not at all, that’s just the start!”

Taking a breath Inuyasha looked at Kagome to see that she was sitting on the ground crying. Most of the time he would have stopped right there, either because the others were yelling at him, but most of the time it was because he just couldn’t take seeing her cry. Especially when he knew it was his fault that she was, but this time he'd be damned if he stopped before he was done.

“Then after I’ve been made to feel like shit, they decide to ask me WHY! ‘Why do you always do that’, ‘Why do you keep doing that after seeing how much it hurts her’, ‘Why must you always be such an ass’, and of course, ‘Why can’t you be nice to her’?! Well do you want to know why I can’t be?!”

Waiting a minute for Kagome to answer Inuyasha paced in front of her until he couldn’t take her silence anymore and decided to tell her whether she wanted to know or not.

“Because I don’t know what I’ve done! If you told me maybe I wouldn’t do it again, but no! But you can’t do that. Because then you wouldn’t have anything to bitch about or cry about!” Panting, Inuyasha looked at her as she sobbed. As bad as he felt for making her so upset he just couldn’t take it anymore. Ok, so I could have been a little nicer to her when I told her, but at least now she knows. Hell I might actually find out what's bothering her from now on.

“I… I'm… sorry!” Sobbing Kagome grabbed her knees and rocked back and forth.

Sitting down, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and put her in his lap, “Are you going to tell me now?” She’s either going to tell me or sit me until my back brakes.

“Yes…” Trying to calm herself down, Kagome took a few deep breaths before telling him, “ I… I saw you and that… ‘woman’ talking.” No, she wasn’t a woman, she was a fucking slut.

Crap! Inuyasha thought as he tried to think of something to say, that wouldn’t remind her that he’d implied that they were together, “So? If you saw then you know that she wouldn’t leave me alone, I tried to be nice, but she wouldn’t stop. I know you didn’t want me to talk to anyone, especially if you weren’t around, but damn it, she wouldn’t stop.” She heard me? Damn it, if she saw then she knows that I said… FUCK!

“I'm not upset that you talked to her.” Yes I am. Because he would have yelled at me. Why didn’t he yell at her?! She was right; he didn’t know how to tell me that he wanted to go with her. Why would he want to be with a little girl like me? That’s why he wants Kikyo and not me, why go for a little girl, when you can have a mature woman?

“Then what the hell are you mad about?” If she’s not mad about what I said, then why the hell is she crying?

“…..” Looking away Kagome tried to get away from Inuyasha, but all that did was make him hold her tighter against him.

“Kagome…” Inuyasha growled. She is mad about what I said. She doesn't want a half breed like me talking like that about her.

“I know that you only said what you did because you knew I was there! Ok?! I know you wanted to go with her, because if you didn’t want her around you, you would have made damn sure she left you alone. Like you do to me! You would have yelled and been a total ass, and she would have left. But you didn’t want her to leave; you only said what you did because you saw me!” Or you were thinking of Kikyo when you said it. Not me, never me. How could I be stupid enough to think this plan would work? He’s never going to care about me like I do him. And what he said in there just makes it worse, because for a minute there I actually thought he did meant it.

“What?” Inuyasha said in a low voice.

“I know you didn’t mean what you said; you only said it because you didn’t want to hurt me. So don’t even try and say that you did mean it, because I know you didn’t!” Kagome yelled as she tried to get out of Inuyasha's lap.

“Damn it, Kagome, don’t you tell me what I mean and don’t mean. You made me promise not to yell, growl, or hit anything! You made me swear to you that I wouldn’t, so I didn’t! You told me that if I did I would stand out and that someone might hurt you or your family because of it! So I kept my fucking mouth shut, even though I wanted nothing more then to make her leave me the fuck alone!” Inuyasha yelled, red faced, then leaning over until his mouth was to her ear, “And I did mean what I said, so don’t think I didn’t.” Inuyasha whispered with a voice Kagome had never heard him use before, before pulling his face back.

Shivering from both Inuyasha's words and how he had sounded when he said them, Kagome tried to get her thoughts straight. He didn’t yell because of the promise he made to me? And he said he meant what he said, does that mean that he…Blushing, Kagome lifted her face to look at Inuyasha, “Inuya….” Before she could even finish saying his name, Inuyasha pulled her face it his and kissed her.
