Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Then and Now ❯ Wanna go Out? ( Chapter 5 )

Then and Now

A/N: Hey, all. I just want to thank everyone who reviewed. This chappy's kinda short, but the next one will have a small confrontation between Inu, Kurama, and Kagome. Remember to review, please!

Chapter 5

((((((((((())))))))))))

After dinner, Kurama and Kagome helped to clear the table and do the dishes. Then they went for a walk around the shrine grounds.

"This is the Goshinboku Inu Yasha was sealed to. That mark up there is the spot he was pinned to." Kagome stated, pointing in the direction of the ancient tree.

Kurama was a bit awed that such an old tree still existed in modern Tokyo.

I can't believe that tree is still standing. Do you feel the way it's energy is connected to hers? Amazing.

<Of course I do. It's only because of me that YOU feel it.>

Whatever.

"The tree is supposed to be almost a thousand years old." She continued.

Kurama turned to look at her. The sight that greeted his eyesmade his heart skip a beat. "Amazing." He said softly.

"Yeah, it's really cool, isn't it?" Kagome responded.

"I meant the way you look in the moonlight." Kurama breathed.

Kagome turned and looked at him questioningly. Kurama's hand lightly brushed her cheek, his eyes never leaving hers. Kagome's knees went weak. Her lip began to quiver as he bent down slowly, and softly brushed his lips against hers. She gasped, and then moaned softly as Kurama pressed his lips a little more firmly against hers.

When he pulled away her eyes were closed. They opened slowly, a smile on her face. She blushed cutely. "Wow."

"You are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen, Kagome. I was wondering if you might like to go out sometime? When you're not in Feudal Japan, that is."

"I'd love to."

((((((((()))))))))

"Kaa-san!!! Good luck on your big test today!"

"Yes, dear. Good luck! I know you'll do great!"

"Thanks you guys! Don't forget, I'll be a little late getting home."

"That's right, your date with Shuiichi. Have fun!"

Kagome left home, heading out on the same old familiar path to the middle school where she would take the test she had been preparing for over the past year. Strangely, she wasn't nervous in the least. On the contrary, she felt securely confident that she would pass with a fine score.

"Higurashi! Good morning! I'm so glad you've been able to come to school fora whole week. I guess this means that the chest poultice worked, huh?"

"Oh, good morning, Hojo."Kagome greeted half-heartedly, remembering the awful smell of the poultice he had given her.

"Would you like to catch a movie after school, to celebrate?"

"I'm really sorry Hojo, but I've got other plans. See you later." Kagome said as she hurriedly walked away from a shocked Hojo.

"Kagome! What was that all about!?" Chorused three voices.

"Ah, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi. How are you?"

"Don't 'How are you?' us! How could you just turn down Hojo-kun like that!? What's gotten into you?!" Shouted Eri.

"Like I said, I have plans. Why is it so important to you guys that i date Hojo, anyway? He's not even my type. If you like him so much, YOU go out with him!" Kagome yelled before turning and continuing on to the school. (A/N: I always wanted her to tell them off for being so damned nosy)

Upon arriving in class (early, for once), Kagome took her seat, eager to get the test over with.

((((((((((()))))))))))

"I'm so glad that's over! I think I did alright, though."

"I'm glad. So what kind of movies do you like?"

"Actually, I was thinking about that. How would you like to go to Senkoku Jidai with me for a few hours? I'd like to see my friends there, and since you've been there, too..."

"I'd love to go back for a short time and see what it was like again."

((((((((((())))))))))))
