Chapter 7: Conte
InuYasha walked into the comfort of his house. The smell of his mother's cooking traveled from the kitchen and wafted into his nose. It was always relaxing walking into the house to the scent of pine sol and a hearty meal that would be promptly ready to devour.
"Ingrate!" A voice yelled before he was smacked in the back of his neck.
"Fuck, Sessh! What's your problem?" InuYasha said before immediately reaching up behind his neck to rub and try to soothe the red irritated skin. It was relaxing walking into the house, but actually living there....not so much.
The refined version of the hanyou smirked before sticking his hands far down into his perfectly starched pants. "Don't leave your neck open."
"What? What are you? Twelve?" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Twelve inches!" Sesshomaru brashly joked as he simultaneously grabbed his crotch and jostled it around.
InuYasha made a disgusting face at his brother. "When are you getting deployed?" He asked.
"In a couple months."
"Yeah, I can't wait."
InuYasha looked over his brother in disbelief of his current behavior. Years ago he was some nerdy, stuck-up tool, but after he joined the Navy Reserves two years ago, he suddenly became a dirty talking, tobacco chewing, immature....tool.
"Hey, you're almost eighteen. You should join."
"Yeah, I have better plans for my future other than shooting things for a living."
"Do you?" Sesshomaru seriously asked. "Last time I checked you were failing all your tests, you're not on any sports team, and you're not exactly Japan's next top model." He said as he glanced over his little brother's form and scoffed.
"Man, fuck you, Sessh. I ain't joining no military."
"Why not?" He jokingly pleaded. "Do you realize how easy it is killing humans? Plus, I'm getting mad benefits and Benjamin’s to show for it."
InuYasha shook his head. "That's your life, not mine." He said before he quickly jogged up the staircase that led to second story of the house. InuYasha made his way to the door that had list of comedic bedroom rules on the door. One being, "Knock first. If no reply, LEAVE" He opened the entrance and began to loosen up once he was in the solitude of his own room.
It was the typical high school boy's room. It held a full sized bed, clothes thrown about the floor, and the usual suspiciously bawled up towel that was stuck together.
He threw down his book bag before walking to the front of his bed and spreading his arms wide open. He looked up to the ceiling before it slowly start to tilt backwards until he felt the soft plush feel of his pillow top mattress covered in a thick flannel quilt. InuYasha sighed at this little way to assure that he could be supported by the world around him.
He turned his head and looked over to the digital clock on his nightstand. It blinked 5:30 in red which clicked something off inside InuYasha's head. 'Was I supposed to do something today? Come on! Think, Takahashi. Think!' He consciously encouraged himself.
"Why would I call myself, Takahashi? The only person who does that is....KIKYO!" A slew of profanities exited the young hanyou's mouth as he quickly got up and scrambled through his wardrobe looking for an outfit to wear. He quickly donned a black slim-fit henley shirt and a pair of dark briefs and dark jeans. He glanced at the clock to only realize that it was 5:45. “Shit! Shit!” He panicked. “Didn’t she say something about not being late…it rhymed or something.” He said before running down the stairs into the living room that was conjoined to their dining room.
The long chestnut table was decked with the centerpiece and the table was set with all the china and silverware equipped to eat one of his mother’s dinners.
His mother, decked exquisitely in a white pants suit, carefully finished the work of art that was the dining room table. InuYasha was surprised how she could look so refined after whipping up a wonderful meal. No wonder his father, a demon lord, married his mother, a mere mortal with abilities that equally matched his.
“Yash, go wash up and get ready for dinner.” She said as she looked over to see her son at the bottom of the staircase.
“I can’t, mom.” He said grabbing his car keys out of the bowl that held all the family’s keys.
“Where are you going?” She said with a worried tone.
“I gotta date!” He yelled before running out the front door.
“Date? InuYasha!” She yelled after her offspring but he was already gone.
Soon an older version of InuYasha entered the room with a sweater and dress pants. The small wrinkles around the creases of his mouth indicated his age, but the polished air of his form showcased his inner power. “Izayoi, what’s going on in here? I thought I heard InuYasha’s voice.”
“He just rushed out of here, Tai.” The older woman replied before whipping her long obsidian tresses into a bun.
“Why?”
“He said he had a date.”
Tai couldn’t help the surprised look that took over his previous expression. “Really? That’s a first.”
Izayoi agreed and it showed in through her motions. “I know.”
InuYasha sped dangerously down the roads. He began to terrorize the other cars vicariously through his red 1998 Isuzu trooper. He looked at his car clock that blinked 6:45pm and cursed because he was late.
He searched through Kikyo’s neighborhood. He tried to remember which one it was, he’d only been over her house twice. InuYasha’s drove slowly at 10mph trying to carefully locate Kikyo’s house. It turned out that he didn’t have to look once he saw the brown eyed beauty sitting on the stairs of her porch with the expression a lost puppy. He immediately drove into the high inclined driveway, parked, then jumped out.
“Kikyo, I’m so sorry.” He pleaded as he walked towards her.
She sighed before looking up the young boy. His silver tresses blew in the autumn wind as the leaves blew around and complimented his apologetic, golden eyes. “I told you that I hated to wait.” She simply said.
"I know. I-I-I just lost track of time. I don’t know what to say other than sorry.”
Kikyo slapped her thighs before getting up and walking towards her front door.
“Where are you going?” InuYasha asked after her.
“If you don’t care about my time, then why should I care about you?” She merely said before entering her house as she shut the door behind her.
“Fuck!” He yelled to the heavens. He stared at the door for a brief moment deciding on whether he should knock on the door or just leave. InuYasha began to kick the leaves on the grass before fighting the air, and then he finally just decided to jump in his tracker. “I really wanted mochi, too.” He whimpered before aggressively starting his car. He slung his arm over the passenger seat before looking out of the back window as he reversed out the driveway.
Kikyo stood at her picture window as she watched InuYasha throw a childish tantrum before driving off. She sighed as she leaned her forehead against the cool glass. “InuYasha.” She lightly whispered to no one in particular.
InuYasha entered his house before slamming the door behind him. The sight of his mother cleaning up the dining room table disheartened him. ‘Was dinner over?’
“Ma, is there anything left?” He asked.
“Yash, I thought you said you had a date.”
His eyes shifted towards the ground then back up at her. “I kind of dropped the ball on that one.”
Izayoi heart softened at the sight of her youngest look so helpless. “I’m sorry, sweetie. Next time maybe?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“How about I heat you up some leftovers? It’s your favorite, tonkatsu*.”
InuYasha sat down at the dinning room table. “Thanks, mom.”
“Anything for my baby.” She said as she lovingly stroked his back before heading to the kitchen with a pile of dishes in her hands.
“I swear she’s like super woman.” He whispered to himself.
“Dude, what’s your problem?” Miroku exclaimed as he and InuYasha sat in the booth of their usual saimin* place.
“I don’t understand why you care.”
“Kikyo and Sango are telepathically connected or something. If you hurt one, you hurt the other. Now, I’m in trouble for having such a shitty friend. You better make it up to her. I don’t know how, but if Sango starts withholding on me because of this, I’m going to kick your ass.”
InuYasha scoffed. “You’re going to kick my ass? The last time we go into a fight, we were thirteen, and you remember how that ended.”
Miroku sighed before knocking at the metal plate that was now apart of his skull. “Yeah, I don’t want a repeat of that.” It was when Miroku wanted an explanation of his inhuman abilities whenever they played sports. InuYasha was forced to tell him about his heritage. He revealed his ears and Miroku tried to touch them and….the fight ensued.
InuYasha sighed. “Speaking of that….” He trailed off deciding on whether he should tell his best friend the information.
“What?” Miroku said as he inched closer to the edge of leather seat.
“I kind of told…Kagome about my…”He just pointed to the top of his hat to refer to his ears.
“Who is Kagome?” Miroku asked.
“Higurashi!” InuYasha shouted. “I told Higurashi that I was….”He then lowered his voice to a whisper that only Miroku could hear. “…a hanyou.”
“What? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” He exclaimed. “Why would you tell her something so important?”
InuYasha just shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?! You practically beat my ass when I found out, but you go off and tell some chick who draws you naked. This says a lot about our friendship.” Miroku said as he folded his arms in anger.
“Hey, man, she’s more than that. I actually like her….a lot.”
Miroku shook his head. “What about Kikyo? Did you forget about her? Oh, you already did that.”
“I like Kikyo, she’s cool. She’s gorgeous, active, and I don’t know if you knew this, but she’s a genius.”
“All of the things Higurashi are not.” Miroku noted
“Kagome may not have those qualities, but she’s talented and pretty–“
“Scratch that last part.” Miroku cut in.
"What? To me she is and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
“Whatever.”
“ ;Also, she’s funny and most importantly, she catches my interest which is a big thing. I rarely find the things that girls say interesting.”
Miroku just sighed in defeat. “I don’t understand you, InuYasha. No homo, but you’re a good looking dude. You could do a lot better.”
“Yeah, this coming from the guy who’s dating an amazon, and when you say, “no homo”, it just proves that you are one.
“Hey, don’t talk about my Sango!” Miroku defended.
“Well, don’t talk about Kagome.”
“Who?” Miroku asked again.
“Look I gotta get home and get ready for date….with Kagome.” He said as he dug into his pockets before pulling some cash. “Grow the fuck up.” InuYasha said as he threw the money on the table before getting up and leaving.
“What I’d do?” Miroku asked in a befuddled tone.
Kagome stared at the cracked paint ceiling above her as her body sunk further into her mattress. She looked over to the old fashioned analog clock that hung above her door. It was 7:50pm and her stomach turned in apprehension of the night to come. She’d never been on a date in her entire life. How was she supposed to act? What as she supposed to say.
The incessant buzzing of her cell phone threw her out of her worried thoughts. She quickly turned to her side to grab it off the nightstand. The number displayed was weird. It wasn’t even a local number. She answered it anyway.
“Hello?”
“Kagome?R 21; The gruff voice of the hanyou sounded from the receiver.
“InuYasha?” Kagome asked to confirm that it was him.
“Yeah.”
“How did you get my number?” Kagome curiously asked.
“I kind of….looked you up or whatever…but anyways that’s not important. Look, I’ll be there in about five minutes. I’m actually around the corner.”
“Okay. Did you have to call me just to say that?”
“I didn’t want you to worry.”
“I wouldn’t have.”
“I’m out front.” InuYasha said before hanging up.
Kagome looked at her phone. ‘Is he mad at me or something?’ She just shrugged before getting up from her mattress and headed downstairs.
Mrs. Higurashi sat on the couch and waited for the dreaded knock that meant she wouldn’t be able to save her daughter if something would to happen to her.
Then there was a knock on the door.
“I got it.” Kagome said as she jumped down half the staircase and rushed to open the door to reveal the hanyou clad in a tight fitting white t-shirt that was under a trendy leather jacket and all was complimented with dark jeans and black sneakers.
“You ready?” InuYasha said before frowning at her outfit.
She wore her usual black hoodie, cargo pants, a sock cap identical to his, and the infamous oversized Converse.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.”
InuYasha couldn’t help but to be disappointed. He hoped that since this was a date she would ascend from the stairs wearing some form fitting dress while Six Pence Non the Richer’s “Kiss me” played in the background. It was the cliché way a geek turned beauty went on a date, but he guessed this was real life and not the movies.
‘This is Higurashi we’re talking about. She’s the opposite of cliché.’
His eyes bore deep into hers as he saw he free spirited soul dance behind those dazzlingly aquamarine orbs. “You look beautiful.” He admitted.
Kagome couldn’t help the blush that cascaded across her face. “Thanks.”
“Now, where are you guys going? Who else is going to be there? What time will you be back?”
“Out to eat, maybe a movie afterwards, and hopefully a walk in Odaiba Seaside Park. It’ll be just the two of us.” InuYasha said as he looked into Kagome’s eyes for a moment before turning his attentions towards her mother. “I’ll have her home no later than midnight.”
Mrs. Higurashi sighed. “I’ll hold you to it because if you land as much as single finger on my daughter….” She said letting the threat hang thick in the air.
InuYasha gulped. “Rest assured, Mrs. Higurashi. I’ll get her home safe and sound.”
“Mom, stop it. I’ll be fine. I can take care of myself.” She said as she grabbed InuYasha’s arm and headed towards the door.
“I love you, Kagome.” Mrs. Higurashi said after her daughter.
“Love ya, too, ma!” Kagome replied before exiting the house completely with the hanyou in tow.
“Your mom’s vicious.” InuYasha joked as they walked down the pathway towards his tracker.
“She’s just worried about me. Are you really going out to eat, the movies, and Odaiba Seaside Park?” Kagome excitedly said.
“Not entirely.” InuYasha simply said as he opened the door to the passenger’s side.
Kagome became apprehensive about jumping into his car after that comment. “What do you mean? Where are we going?”
“First, we’re going to a restaurant. Then I have a surprise for you.”
“I don’t like surprises.”
“I promise you’ll like this one. Get in the car. We don’t have all night, Cinderella. I have to get you back by midnight.”
Kagome said a small prayer in hopes that things would go smoothly before she hopped inside of the red vehicle.
InuYasha smirked before jogging over to the driver’s side and entering the car.
“What restaurant are we going to?”
“Diamond Dining.*” He casually said.
Kagome couldn’t help but to squeal and jumped around like a child. “Really?! Are you kidding?”
InuYasha couldn’t help but to chuckle. “I’m dead serious.”
“Which theme café are we going to?”
“The Alice in Wonderland one.”
“I can’t wait!” Kagome cheered.
“Calm down, little girl.”
Kagome blushed before sinking into the upholstery of the seats. “I’m sorry. I always wanted to go there.”
"I'm glad you'll enjoy yourself." He said before starting up the car and driving off.
Kagome blushed before she looked out the window in the lazy fall night. She didn't know what to expect but obviously InuYasha had something important in store for her. Was she ready to experience it?
*saimin-A combination of Japanese udon, Chinese mein, and Filipino pancit.

LauraO- I'm glad I could bring you back to Inu/Kag paired stories.
Kagome313- He's out of it....for now. lol I didn't even realize the switch in personalities. I was just tired seeing Kagome and InuYasha being enemies and then come together as a result of sexual tension. I wanted InuYasha to be a normal....nice guy instead of an agressive asshole.....(Even I adore the agressive asshole InuYasha that curses and is deviant by nature). I was also tired of the smart mouth Kagome....(Even I love how she has her own mind).
faygo-It's MY fault! I know! The format kept continously come out weird and I kept trying numerous times to fix it and a result: millions of, "A new chapter has been added to "Sketch Pad", emails. I apologize

InuYasha walked into the comfort of his house. The smell of his mother's cooking traveled from the kitchen and wafted into his nose. It was always relaxing walking into the house to the scent of pine sol and a hearty meal that would be promptly ready to devour.

InuYasha made a disgusting face at his brother. "When are you getting deployed?" He asked.
"In a couple months."
"Yeah, I can't wait."
InuYasha looked over his brother in disbelief of his current behavior. Years ago he was some nerdy, stuck-up tool, but after he joined the Navy Reserves two years ago, he suddenly became a dirty talking, tobacco chewing, immature....tool.
"Hey, you're almost eighteen. You should join."
"Yeah, I have better plans for my future other than shooting things for a living."
"Do you?" Sesshomaru seriously asked. "Last time I checked you were failing all your tests, you're not on any sports team, and you're not exactly Japan's next top model." He said as he glanced over his little brother's form and scoffed.
"Man, fuck you, Sessh. I ain't joining no military."
"Why not?" He jokingly pleaded. "Do you realize how easy it is killing humans? Plus, I'm getting mad benefits and Benjamin’s to show for it."
InuYasha shook his head. "That's your life, not mine." He said before he quickly jogged up the staircase that led to second story of the house.

It was 7:50pm and her stomach turned in apprehension of the night to come. She’d never been on a date in her entire life. How was she supposed to act? What as she supposed to say.
The incessant buzzing of her cell phone threw her out of her worried thoughts. She quickly turned to her side to grab it off the nightstand. The number displayed was weird. It wasn’t even a local number. She answered it anyway.
“Hello?”

InuYasha gulped. “Rest assured, Mrs. Higurashi. I’ll get her home safe and sound.”
“Mom, stop it. I’ll be fine. I can take care of myself.” She said as she grabbed InuYasha’s arm and headed towards the door.
“I love you, Kagome.” Mrs. Higurashi said after her daughter.
“Love ya, too, ma!” Kagome replied before exiting the house completely with the hanyou in tow.
“Your mom’s vicious.” InuYasha joked as they walked down the pathway towards his tracker.
“She’s just worried about me. Are you really going out to eat, the movies, and Odaiba Seaside Park?” Kagome excitedly said.
“Not entirely.” InuYasha simply said as he opened the door to the passenger’s side.
Kagome became apprehensive about jumping into his car after that comment. “What do you mean? Where are we going?”
“First, we’re going to a restaurant. Then I have a surprise for you.”
“I don’t like surprises.”
“I promise you’ll like this one. Get in the car. We don’t have all night, Cinderella. I have to get you back by midnight.”
Kagome said a small prayer in hopes that things would go smoothly before she hopped inside of the red vehicle.
InuYasha smirked before jogging over to the driver’s side and entering the car.
“What restaurant are we going to?”
“Diamond Dining.*” He casually said.
Kagome couldn’t help but to squeal and jumped around like a child. “Really?! Are you kidding?”
InuYasha couldn’t help but to chuckle. “I’m dead serious.”
“Which theme café are we going to?”
“The Alice in Wonderland one.”
“I can’t wait!” Kagome cheered.
“Calm down, little girl.”
Kagome blushed before sinking into the upholstery of the seats. “I’m sorry. I always wanted to go there.”
"I'm glad you'll enjoy yourself." He said before starting up the car and driving off.
Kagome blushed before she looked out the window in the lazy fall night. She didn't know what to expect but obviously InuYasha had something important in store for her. Was she ready to experience it?

LauraO- I'm glad I could bring you back to Inu/Kag paired stories.
Kagome313- He's out of it....for now. lol I didn't even realize the switch in personalities. I was just tired seeing Kagome and InuYasha being enemies and then come together as a result of sexual tension. I wanted InuYasha to be a normal....nice guy instead of an agressive asshole.....(Even I adore the agressive asshole InuYasha that curses and is deviant by nature). I was also tired of the smart mouth Kagome....(Even I love how she has her own mind).
