-The Missing Masquerade-
Chapter 2- The Question
…..
"Would you like to go with me?"
Naraku was just waiting for an answer to a possibly, answerless question, wasn't the Masquerade Ball something I wanted to avoid?" My mind was racing for an excuse, yet, not a single thing came to mind; I couldn't decide, say yes and go, or say no, and possibly lose my best friend; But- Hey! I've been like this for years! I don't have to go to the dance, even if my best friend, Naraku, asked me… I've made up my mind, it might disappoint him, possibly anger him, but even so, I-
"Must I repeat myself?" Naraku's deep voice had awoken me from my thoughts, "I- uh…" I hadn't recognized the number of people who started to stare off at Naraku and me, not even the decrease in volume. Naraku sighed, while pushing a stray strand of black hair from his face, and placing down his chopsticks, the same stock expression showing epically off his face. He suddenly stood up; thinking that he had left, I sighed, this Masquerade Ball was getting to my head- "Kagome," I almost jumped in my seat, that voice, that deep voice… turning my head, I swear my face flushed; Naraku, was only mere centimeters from mine, What was wrong with me all of a sudden?
"I will ask you once again," he took my hand, NOW, my face was red…burning red… and this time, EVERYONE was watching, "Kagome, would you like to come with me to the Masquerade Ball? I would very much appreciate it…if you say yes…" "No…" My head screamed in protest, "Anything but that…" Smile. He smiled. God Naraku and that beautiful smile! If I even dare say yes, I'm so goanna- "Um-o- okay…I guess…" I wanted to punch myself so hard I would throw up, did I just now say 'Yes' to going to the Masquerade Ball, with Naraku? Did I just get an actual DATE? I could hear the 'Omg's, the 'What the Hell's!; and the 'I was goanna ask him!'s flyinf in the air.
Naraku, the only kid, or should I say, Man in Chrono-Spaces High school, that could stand Face- to-Face with the 6 foot 6 Ice King Sesshomaru, even if they both had a serious ego issue, they got along fairly well, both of them stand head to head in several categories, which include the following: Longest hair, coolest eye color, scariest glare, biggest ego, better athlete, and for the girls; that might not include me, hottest body. What was up with chicks in this school?
Just as I was about to stand, I felt like I was being…wait- lifted! I saw myself being lifted? By who? I almost screamed when I saw those same two red eyes, starring down at me, almost literally burning through me, I couldn't help but wrap my arms around his neck, JUST IN CASE I FALL!
"Were leaving." I starred up at him, his voice echoing throughout the now silent Café, "B-But we still have two classes after lunch and-" I was stopped by what seemed to be a look from Naraku, the type of look that made you shiver, the good type of shiver though, one thing or another, it sure did a good job of shutting me up, "Naraku, isn't that skipping? We can't just skip out on classes like that-" Naraku and I were already outside heading for his 'must be expensive' red sports car, "Principal Songo doesn't need to know now does she?" Naraku had a point, our principal, Principal Sango, was extremely clumsy, and really bad at keeping tabs on her students, it was always one or the other for her, I was suddenly returned to Earth as my converse's (aka Chuck Tailors) hit the hard gravel, and relaxed. I than found myself inside his car. Naraku's car. My new date's car.
As we drove out of the High Schools large parking lot, I couldn't help but ask, "Naraku," I just had to know, "Yes, Kagome? Is something the matter?" I shook my head, left to right, than looked at him, "Why did you ask me?"
"Hm?"
"Why did you ask me, to go to the Masquerade Ball thing with you? I'm sure you could have asked somebody else that dressed, well, a bit more feminine than me…I'm nothing special you know" Naraku was silent for a few, then finally, he spoke, "I picked you because you don't droll over looks…you talk to me honestly…and I also think you need to get out more Kagome, you said you haven't had a boyfriend, better yet a date in…never, and-" Naraku stopped talking. "What's wrong?"
"…" was his answer.
"Naraku, where are we going to?" and his oh so talkative answer….
"Hn."
Naraku's going to be hard to figure out.
