Final Chapter

Exams were officially over at Tokyo Uni. and thanks to Kagome, Inuyasha had nailed his American History exam (as he had mentioned many times, although not really ever explaining that he'd ever needed help). Ever since exams had ended, Inuyasha started to stay longer at the coffee on his laptop and often asking for refills (which Miroku insisted were excuses to talk to her). Everything seemed to be going well between the two.

"And then he said, 'I swear you're ass will be the only one I ever touch ever again! Give me a chance Sango!'" Sango tried to impersonate Miroku over the phone.

"You're kidding." Kagome responded dryly, her phone balanced between her shoulder and ear as she made faces into her computer camera, Inuyasha silently chuckled on the screen, his microphone being muted. They couldn't talk at the moment but seeing him was better than nothing at all.

"Kagome, I feel like you're not contributed to this conversation, or lack of." Kagome could almost see Sango folding her arms.

"What?! I'm listening, aren't I?!" Kagome sat up suddenly defensive. "That's more than some could say." Sango audibly sighed.

"I guess." Kagome relaxed, lying down on her stomach and playing with the thin strap of her blue camisole.

"Anyway, let me take a shot in the dark here, you let him take you out?" Kagome smirked

"W-What?! Ya, right! Like I'd ever let the pervert within a 5 meter radius!" She shouted, making Kagome pull the phone away from her ear. Inuyasha gave her an odd look and she shook her head, pointing to the phone and opened her mouth real wide to make it look like she was yelling. Inuyasha made an 'o' shape with his mouth.

"Sango, I can practically see your blush from my apartment bedroom. Where'd he take you?"

"NO WHERE!"

"I'm a Capricorn. I can tell when you're lying."

"What the heck, Kagome. That doesn't even make sense."

"Of course it does! It was on Tumblr!"

"That doesn't make it true."

"If it's on Tumblr it's true. That or my whole life is a lie."

"Well, I hate to break it to you…"

"Just tell me where he took you."

"We just went to a movie ok! Besides, you can't deny you're growing affection for a certain dog-earred young man."

"Sango!" Kagome's face lit up in a brilliant pink. "I have no idea what you're talking about! I have zero affection for Inuyasha." Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her, questioning her.

"You say you can tell when someone lies but you suck at lying Kagome."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at the phone and sported a bit of a pout. "I can try…" Miroku suddenly came into view on the screen, waving at Kagome. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, yelling at him. Miroku cupped his hands around his mouth, obviously trying to tell her something when Inuyasha's face turned pink and he shoved Miroku out of view and slammed his laptop shut. Some much for that.

"Hey Kagome, I have to go. Miroku just texted me. I'll talk to you later. And make a move. He won't wait forever." And not waiting for a response, Sango hung up. Kagome glared at her phone as she turned it off and closed her laptop. She readjusted the blue bow at the end of her braid and pulled on her white jeans. Maybe she should get ready for bed.

It seemed this morning was going far too slow for Inuyasha's taste but the thought that he'd be able to see Kagome if he could just manage to finish his morning routine got him motivated. After a warm shower, he dressed into his school uniform, pulled his hair into a ponytail at the nape of his neck and dashed for the coffee shop (after running back to his dorm room to grab his coat and school stuff.) He briskly walked through the door, trying to act normal though it always seemed to prove difficult. As his eyes fell on her, even while doing such a simple task as wiping down the front counter, her raven hair swished behind her, her eyes sparkled with determination as she tried to scrub a particular spot off the counter, her strong but lean arms, small supple lips. It was almost enough to make his mouth water. His heart pounding in his ears, breath caught in the middle of his throat, all thoughts suddenly coming to a standstill, were merely everyday happens to him now but still never ceased to amaze him. She was so alluring, exquisite, and dazzling. She held a fragile heart within her hands without even knowing it. Miroku had to be wrong.

Kagome gave him her normal cheerful smile, though something seemed a little off with her. She seemed almost...unnerved by his presence.

"Usual." He shrugged and she giggled, making him nearly jump a foot in the air. 'Gods…'

"One usual coming up! Miroku's doesn't get cold, does it? You stay pretty long now. I can make it extra hot if you like."

"Ya, he might have mentioned that to me…" Inuyasha folded his arms, trying to remember after handing Kagome the cost of his coffees.

"I'll be right out. You can go take a seat." She quickly hurried into the back, dare he think a little quicker than normal. Shaking his head, he sat down at his table and pulled out his laptop, logging in.

Kagome came over with the coffees, her face bright pink and barely managing to stutter out what she was saying and quickly walking back to hide behind the counter. Weird.

As he went to take a sip of his coffee, he saw an arrow pointing down to the bottom on the cup where, most of a sentence was scribbled out, leaving a few words.

Careful, you're extremely hot.

Nearly dropping the cup, his face lit up and flew over to Kagome to see her with her hair covering most of her face but obviously bright pink.

'Well shit,' he thought. 'Miroku was right.'

He shot up from his chair, and marched over to the counter. Kagome for a moment looked utterly terrified and speaking a million words a minute.

"Inuyasha, I didn't mean to weird you out or anything but I just-" Inuyasha put his hand behind her head and forced her lips against his.

Sango's phone suddenly buzzed, notifying her that she'd received a text message. She flipped her phone open and smiled.

Kagome: Hey, Sango. You were right.
