Blushing and Blood Oranges
By the Bay : Chapter 2 : Blushing and Blood Oranges
Please remember! OOOO = beginning and end of chapter, >>>>>>> = past/present change, and ------- = time change.
Also: I didn't mark the point of view changes in this chapter, I think you guys are smart enough to get it. Tell me if I should re-introduce them in chapter 3.
Enjoy! (That’s an order)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The glossy, red, plastic-covered seat squeaked ever so slightly as Kagome turned to look her waitress in the eye. “I’ll have a BLT please, and a diet coke. Thanks.”
“All I’m saying Sango, is that this new bridge is going to cost me a fucking fortune, and why should we have to pay the sum of a house for it if we aren’t even the ones using it?”
“I know what you’re saying, but half of it is going to be San Fran’s you know. I mean, didn’t you drive across golden gate a bunch of times to go see Kikyo?” A blank stare was all that emitted from Inuyasha’s face. “No wonder she dumped you.”
“Fuck you.”
“Shut up and order Yash.”
“Huh? Oh, right. A burger, well done, and a cherry coke.”
“And I’ll have a Cesar salad with lemonade please.”
“What, are you on a diet?”
“Well, I’m 25 and counting. How am I ever going to find a decent guy to marry me if I don’t watch what I eat?”
“Sango, you need to get laid first.” A rouge tint spread over her tiny face as the deeply embarrassed woman fiddled casually with her fork.
----------------------20 minutes of playful banter later-------------------
“Here you two are, and here’s yours as well miss.” The blonde with a sloppy bun scurried off into the back room.
“Oh wait, I didn’t order a burger.”
“But I didn’t order a BLT.”
The odd pair turned and faced one another with silly grins. ‘Oh, that guy from Crissy Field.’ ‘Oh, that girl from Crissy Field.’
“Trade you.” Kagome suggested as she held out the misplaced plate.
“No, I think I’m going to eat your BLT instead.” The long-tressed Inuyasha turned and grinned at a shocked Sango and left Kagome to her thoughts.
‘What the fuck?...Oh well, A burger will do.”
“Hey, I was ju—“ CHOMP. “Oiiiiii! That was my burger!” Kagome turned once more to face this strange yet drop-dead-gorgeous man.
“But I thought—“
“I was KIDDING.”
She took another bite, “Too late,” then turned her attention back to her burger…his burger.
----------------------------------------------Four Days Later------------------------------------------
“Hey Marv, how’s it going?”
“Just fine Kagome. Hold on.” With vigor, tenacity, and a caffeine-stimulated liveliness, the man known as Marv rang the dainty trolley bell. DING DING it shouted to the few early risers of route 19.
As the moving landmark came to a halt on the Embarcadero, Kagome hopped out and shouted with a smile, “Take care Marv! See you next Saturday!”
“Hey, bring me a pie next time girl!” She chuckled and waved back, grateful for the old man’s sarcasm…or was it?
This was her favorite thing about the weekend: The Saturday morning farmer’s market at the ferry building. No place else could you find this beautiful wide array of people all in one place, searching for their fruits and such, hobbling about and making light conversation with strangers. On occasion Kagome would come just to people watch, to confirm that her city wasn’t as bad as some made it out to be, but today Kagome was armed with a canvas bag and a few paper bills, intent on buying her weeks worth of vitamins. You see, not only is she a chocolate addict, but she is also a fruit-a-holic.
Gently brushing her un-manicured fingernails over the blushing nectarines, Kagome picked up and few, paid for them, and made her way to the strawberries, apricots, peaches, melons, and apples.
“I’ll take a basket of Fuji’s and a basket of reds please.” Kagome reached across the stand to pick up her bag of apples and turned around into what seemed like a wall. Her fruit dropped to her feet and she hurriedly went to retrieve them. On all fours, she came to a halt as she hit a pair of rainbows. [a/n: rainbows are a brand of sandals; leather, brown, very nice. Basically the metro version of Birkenstocks] Peering up at this obstruction, she met her water bottle/burger boy once again.
“Trade you.” Inuyasha held out a soft peach in his palm.
“You.”
“Inuyasha.”
“Huh?” Kagome’s nose became wrinkled as she made her remark.
“The name’s Inuyasha, and you have my blood orange, unless you want to eat that too.”
Kagome shook her head and smiled bashfully in a giant mess of embarrassment until she finally sputtered out, “Oh, no! I don’t, sorry.” She pushed the mutant orange back into his chest and turned.
Inuyasha smiled inside. ‘Hm, she’s kind of cute.’
Just as Kagome began to take a step away from her silly moment, she ran into another obstruction.
“Well, have you ever tried one before?”
“What?”
“A blood orange. They’re really good.”
‘Is this guy trying to make conversation with me?’ “Oh, no I haven’t.” She began to move yet again, doubtful of his intentions, only to be stopped once more.
“Would you like to?”
‘My God! What is this guy’s dea—whoa.’ Her thoughts were put on hold at the moment as her eyes were too focused on the guy’s in front of her. ‘How the hell did I miss those?!’ “Sure, I guess.”
Inuyasha began peeling the orange that was a few seconds ago, so roughly forced upon him by the nymph that was now twiddling her thumbs like a school girl. That’s when he got the most brilliant idea to make her blush once more. He pulled with practiced precision a section of the blood orange free, peel still intact, and popped it in his mouth to show off a very kiddish orange-peel-smile. Then with his tongue he flipped it around and bared it with his teeth only a few inches from Kagome’s face, grinning all the while as the nameless girl…grinned back? ‘That can’t be good.’
Kagome began to lean in closer to Inuyasha’s face. Closer…closer…closer, and finally, she plucked the round orange from his hands behind his back. “Jeez Inuyasha, what did you think I was going to do?”
Guess who was blushing now?
“Wa…well, nothing like that, that’s for sure.”
The pair began making their ways out of the building and towards the trolley stop when Kagome made a stop of her own. “You take the trolley too?”
“Sure. Which one do you take?”
“Which once do you take?”
“Same as you.”
“How do you know my route?!”
“I don’t.” The wheels began turning in Kagome’s head.
“O…oh.” She blushed and began walking one again. Inuyasha gazed from behind with that million dollar grin of his.
Inuyasha and Kagome sat side by side and enjoyed eachother’s new-found company all the way until Kagome’s stop. “Well, I get off here.”
“No.”
“No?”
“We get off here.” Kagome no longer sported a blush, but a genuine smile. “So,” There were now on Kagome’s front step. “What do you say we end this morning off with a bang?”
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N
Before you leave, I’d like to take some time to thank my reviewers for their thoughts.
Bbbbbb: Thanks for being my first reviewer for ‘’By the Bay’! Hope this chapter meets your expectations and thanks again for your thoughts.
ShoujoFreak: I’m really glad you enjoy my writing style, although what exactly that style is I haven’t quite figured out yet. But I think that’s about the best compliment any amateur writer could hope for.
KayabachoBabe: I’m happy to hear you find the time switch enticing! I figured since any inu/kag fic usually ends up the same way, I might as well begin with the obvious ending hmm? Applause back for being a great reviewer!
HateKikyo00021: Yeah, let a bit of myself come through there, because in all honesty, I would have eaten the whole cake too! Glad you like it and thanks a bunch for reviewing.
See you guys next chapter!
