The Special Trip

Ch. 5 enjoying themselves

After Inuyasha got over the shock of seeing himself on the piece of paper he decided to look at all the little stands all over the park. The girls didn't object because they wanted to do some shopping for a few things. Eri and Yuka dragged everyone over to a stand with all the pretty necklaces. You could get your name engraved in a piece of rice and then put in a small glass container and wear it around your neck.

They all decided to get one so the hunt began for the perfect necklace. “Oh Kagome isn't this horse one just beautiful,” Yuka said while holding up a small white horse.

“Yeah Yuka it is beautiful. Where did you find it?”

“It was over there. There are all kinds of white animals. Look this one looks like Inuyasha.” They all stopped to look at what Yuka had in her hand. She was right. It was a small glass head with little dog-ears on top. The sales lady came over and started telling them about a legend that went with that necklace. The story sounded surprisingly familiar to Kagome and Inuyasha.

She told them, “That is a replica of a half dog demon. His name is not known but his great power is. Legends say that he was treated very badly as a child but was still able to show kindness of heart toward all things. He embarked in a great journey with many companions to find and put back together the shards of the Shicon Jewel.” Kagome and Inuyasha both gasped at that. It had confirmed that the story was in fact about their travels.

“It was a long hard quest that took many years to accomplish. But in the end he and his friends were able to defeat a very powerful demon and get back all the shards of the jewel. The powerful Hanyou fell in love with a strange priestess who is even more mysterious then he and they lived happily ever after. It is believed that if you posses the head of the hanyou you also posses his powers.”

Everyone was a little startled at the story. “So Inuyasha,” Ayumi said. “I take it you've heard the story before. You are dressed like him.” He looked at her for a second and nodded. Then he looked back over at Kagome and knew she was thinking the same thing as he. The story said that he defeated a very powerful demon and got back all the shards of the jewel. That meant that they defeated Naraku.

Inuyasha was also thinking about another part of the story. The hanyou fell in love with a strange priestess. `Does that mean Kagome? Of course it does. I already love her. This means that we can finally be together. She heard the story to, she knows.' Inuyasha looked up at Kagome and saw that she was paying for a necklace. The other three girls had already picked one out each.

They all started walking towards a smaller ride then the coaster that they had already been on. It looked like a big circle. `I wonder what this is,' Inuyasha thought to himself and he just followed them to the line. When they got in line they waited for a little while. Inuyasha could hear the conversations of many different people. The conversations were everything from, “Did you see that guy standing over there he was gorgeous, ” to “Hey did you hear about a man dressed like a wolf tried to break into the park. He just ran up to the wall and started trying to get in.”

After getting a little annoyed with the conversations around him he looked back at Kagome. She was starring off into space thinking about something but Inuyasha didn't have enough time to figure it out because they were ushered onto the ride.

This ride was a slower moving one. Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, Kagome and Inuyasha all got onto one car. Kagome could tell there was something up when her three friends started to count to themselves. “One.... Two.... Three” the three of them jumped off and before Kagome or even Inuyasha could react they locked the door from the outside and smiled up at them. “Enjoy your ride,” they all said at the same time while walking out if the exit to wait for them to finish the ride.

Kagome sat down on the seat across from Inuyasha and looked at him. He looked kinda confused. They sat there for a while just looking at each other. “Kagome,” Inuyasha finally said breaking the silence. “What is a boyfriend?”

Kagome was a little shocked at that question. “Why do you ask Inuyasha?” she said back to him.

“Well while we were in line I heard someone talking about her boyfriend and I was just wondering what it was. Someone had asked her how long her and her boyfriend had been “going out” or something like that.” He looked over at her while she thought about how to answer the question.

“Damn your hearing,” she mumbled to herself. He just smiled slightly and waited. “Well,” she finally said. “I guess the easiest way to explain this is to explain what they meant by `going out' first. That is sort of like when a demon is courting. And a boyfriend is what the girls call the person she is courting. The boy calls the girl his girlfriend. Do you get it?” she asked while looking over at him.

“Yeah I think I do.” Inuyasha sat there for a minute. He looked out the window. They were all the way at the top. Starting to go down. `Well, I better just get this over-with,' he thought to himself. He looked back at Kagome to see her looking out of the window. He moved over next to her and looked at her. She turned around and looked at him curiously.

“Kagome,” he said slowly. “Will you be my girlfriend?” He stared at her. Never taking his eyes off hers he silently prayed that she would say yes.

`Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend?' she thought frantically. `No, he couldn't have I must have been hearing things. No I wasn't hearing things and I know it. God stop talking to yourself and answer him.' Looking up into his golden eyes she said, “Yes Inuyasha, I will be your girlfriend.”

The smile on his face was enough to melt anyone's heart. He pilled her into a hug before kissing her passionately on the lips. After a few seconds they had to pull apart for breath. Kagome smiled at him and he smiled back. “ Kagome, I have one more thing to ask you. Which necklace did you pick?” She laughed at him for the silly question. The ride stopped and they had to get off. While they were walking down the exit he asked her again. “Well, which one did you pick?”

She stopped and turned around to look at him. She pulled a little bag from her pocket and pulled out the necklace. She handed it to Inuyasha to look at. It was the one with the hanyou head on it. “Look closely at it,” Kagome said to him. He held it up to his eyes and looked closely at it. Then he noticed it. The little grain of rice that is inside had two words carved into it. Kagome on one side, and Inuyasha on the other.
