Dating is Not for the Faint of Heart!

Hojo's Goodnight, The Start of Inuyasha's Date,

He had been watching, she knew he had been watching and yet she had done it anyway. She had KNOWN better, because any sane human being would have known better. Now she knew her fate was sealed as the cackling mass of white hair and red cloth bounded away with her into the night. Oh, yes, it had all been her fault, and now she knew,

You NEVER actually TRY to make a hanyou jealous if his name was Inuyasha!

She had messed up when she had indirectly kissed Hojo. If she had known then what she was really dealing with, that would have been all she done. But, no! Kagome just had to tempt fate, she couldn't be happy with a nice dinner, a free movie and her blasted magnetic back cushions, noooo. She couldn't happily erase her obligation to Hojo with a date and a handshake, then frolic back to the Feudal Era to her half demon puppy. Nope, not her, not the Great Kagome. It hadn't been enough. Because Kagome had gone and done one of the stupidest things in her life, and now she was going to pay for it, with interest.

She had allowed Hojo to kiss her goodnight,

Granted, she hadn't thought of the repercussions at the time. Oh, no, not her, the Wise Kagome, the Almighty Kagome! It hadn't occurred to her until the after Hojo had left, not until after the door was safely shut and locked, not until after her nightly shower, definitely not until after she had given Buyo his midnight kitty snack, It didn't dawn on her until she had walked into her bedroom, ready for warm sheets and sweet dreams that it hit her. Well, it really hit her when she saw Inuyasha perched on her windowsill looking all the world like a Cheshire Cat instead of a dog demon. The grin on his face was threatening to split his skull into halves. From that vantage point, he had a balcony seat for Hojo and her parting kiss,

It was then his words echoed in her mind. "What you do with him, you have to do with me too!" Then as if he had a direct phone line to her brain he chuckled, "Well, it's only fair, Ka-go-me." He spaced out the syllables in her name, breathing them out.

At that point Kagome didn't know wither to run away and hide or push him out the window. What she did know was that she really didn't trust the rather evil gleam in his eyes. She didn't think that she'd be able to move fast enough to get away, but it didn't stop her from trying. Halfway back to the door she yelped as he scooped her up, tucked her securely under one arm and leapt out the window. "Inuyasha, what are you doing!?" She yelped and tried to hold on to part of her modesty as her nightgown flew up around her thighs.

"We are going on a date." He said bluntly. "I watched you two the whole time. Now it's my turn." He glanced down as he walked calmly across the yard to the well house.

He threw back the door as Kagome howled, "Inuyasha, it's past midnight! Look at me! I'm in a nightgown!" She gestured wildly at her legs, "See! I can't go on a date in this!"

"You look fine. You wore a dress for him and you'll wear one like it for me." He threw one leg over the well and then they were falling.

Kagome's voice echoed in the night, "At least let me get my pack~!"

Inuyasha stared down at her, white hair falling over his shoulders as they landed on his side of the well. "You don't need your pack on a date, you didn't take it with you when you went with Joho."

"Hojo!"

"Whatever." He strode purposefully towards the side of the well and hopped up, grin sneaking it's way back onto his face. "I let you do what you wanted and you promised me anything in return. You agreed to this, Kagome, teary eyes and all! Now deal with it!" Kagome hung her head in defeat. She had promised. And on any other occasion, she would have been thrilled to go on a date with Inuyasha! But she had her doubts,

Silly woman, a promise was a promise. And she had promised him a date and he would have it. Especially after all the trouble he had gone to in the two hours after he had seen her kiss Hojo and her abduction. Still carrying her through the still, starry night, he headed for their first stop, the thing that she called, Eetah-lhi-ahn!
