Would have uploaded it yesterday but my family were hogging pc lol, may upload next chapter aswel...
Inuyasha waited impatiently for Miroku, although the part was being held at his house Inuyasha had been asked by Sango and some others to keep him away till they finished decorating the house. So for now he was staying at his house.
"Miroku how long do you take, I was ready ages ago!" Inuyasha shouted up the stairs.
"Well unlike you I prefer to woo the ladies." Miroku replied back.
Inuyasha frowned, "Just hurry up, we need to be there by 7.00 you know, we only have fifteen minutes left."
Inuyasha heard a sigh and after a while a figure emerged at the top of the stares, Inuyasha looked closer and as Miroku walked down the steps his eyes widened.
"What you think?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha couldn't help it, he burst out laughing, "You look ridiculous!"
And it was true, Miroku was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a lime-green shirt which said "Too cool to know you" on the front of it. Too make it worse he had so much hairspray floating around him he'd proberly done more damage to the earth's air than a factory making the actual products.
Unlike Miroku however, Inuyasha was wearing something that at least didn't look like an explosion in a clothes factory. Wearing some worn out black pants and a white shirt he looked much better than Miroku.
Miroku frowned, "Fine if you don't like it, I'll just have to go change again..." he replied walking back up.
"Yeah yeah..." Inuyasha laughed but he then stopped, "W...what?... Miroku!" he shouted.
-X-
Inuyasha came to a stop on his motorbike outside Miroku's house, as he stepped off a very dizzy looking birthday boy attempted to get off but only fell to the ground. By now he had changed into a red shirt and some blue trousers which looked much more sensible and ordinary.
Inuyasha let out a small chuckle.
"Why'd you go so fast?!" Miroku asked wobbling as he stood back up.
"It's your fault you took so long, it's only just 7.00 now you know, if I'd gone any slower we would have been late."
Miroku didn't reply and wearily made his way with Inuyasha to the door, when they entered many people (most who they didn't know) were already there. When they saw him entering out of nowhere Sango came to the front of the crowd and immediately everyone shouted "Happy Birthday!"
"Wow..." Miroku murmured very surprised.
Sango leapt forward and hugged Miroku, she was wearing a short blue dress that had short sleeves and only came half way between her thighs and knees. From what Inuyasha could see Miroku was trying to get is trembling hand to grope Sango but because he was still dizzy gave up and let his arms drop to his side.
"Happy birthday baby." Sango said pulling away and smiling.
Miroku merely smiled back.
"Let's get this party started then!" a voice cried and not a moment later music started playing from a stereo.
-X-
Tired for breathe Inuyasha stopped dancing and went outside to the back garden to get some fresh air. Thankful no one was there he went and sat on the stone steps that lead down to the grass.
"Hello Inuyasha." murmured a voice.
Inuyasha whipped his head around and felt his heart thump faster when he saw Kikyo standing behind him.
She was wearing a glittery long purple dress with some purple high heel shoes to match. Inuyasha then snapped out of his thoughts and looked away.
"H..hi Kikyo." he replied.
To his surprise Kikyo came and sat down near him, "Do you remember the last time we came to Miroku's and sat in the garden like this?" she asked.
Inuyasha nodded, two months after they had started going out he had brought her around to Miroku's where Sango and Miroku also were. As the sun was setting Kikyo had brought Inuyasha to the back garden and as they watched the sun set they and moved closer together till they had finally kissed for the first time...
Inuyasha felt is cheeks reddening and hoped Kikyo didn't notice, he suddenly felt a shiver down his spine as he felt her hand brush against his on the floor.
For a moment the two were silent until Inuyasha spoke, "It was a long time ago though... we've both moved on..."
Although Inuyasha was looking at the floor he knew Kikyo was staring at him.
"I guess..." Kikyo replied.
Inuyasha turned his head only to bring it mere inches to Kikyo's, after a minute or so they stayed like this with their faces nearly touching.
Kikyo stared into his eyes and Inuyasha thought of moving forward when suddenly they heard raised voices.
Inuyasha whipped his head around and then looked back at Kikyo who was still staring at him in what appeared to Inuyasha as a sad way...
"S...sorry Kikyo, I gotta go." he explained jumping up and running inside.
-X-
Kikyo watched sorrowfully as Inuyasha leapt away, she had just been about to kiss him when he had suddenly turned around. Kikyo wondered if he still loved her as when his face had been inches from her he had not made any move to look away or back further off.
Kikyo had picked out this dress especially as the night they had first kissed Kikyo had been also wearing a purple dress although it was much different to this. She had hoped it would make him notice his feelings for her, disappointed she stood up and also walked back inside.
-X-
"What's the commotion?" Inuyasha asked pushing through the crowd to Miroku who was somewhere in the middle of it all.
Miroku pointed and following its direction Inuyasha noticed a girl just entering the door of the house and she was beyond beautiful...
"Who is she?" Miroku asked.
The girl looked around until she met eye contact with the two of them and began walking to them, Inuyasha was confused. He had never before seen this girl and yet she seemed to be walking towards them.
Several other boys' eyes were following her as she walked.
"Hi." she said timidly when she met the two.
"Hey." Miroku replied raising an eyebrow.
Inuyasha pushed him away and looked at the girl, "Who are you?"
The girl stared and opened her mouth to speak when Sango suddenly came running and stood next to her, "Hi Kagome." she cried.
Inuyasha and everyone around the room shouted, "What?!"
Inuyasha then noticed that it was her when he looked in her eyes, he sighed thinking it had been a pretty new girl but all along it had just been her...
"Hi Sango." she replied.
By now most were beginning to look away from Kagome.
As she and Sango talked Inuyasha looked at what she was wearing, along with a red dress with a ribbon bow at the back she was also wearing some small red shoes and some jewellery to match. In her hair was a piece of red ribbon holding her hair back in a pony tail.
"You look gorgeous!" Sango cried making Kagome blush, "Don't you think so too guys?"
"Well—" Miroku began.
"Feh... it's just a dress..." Inuyasha interrupted folding his arms.
Kagome frowned at him then looked back at Sango, "Sorry I'm late, I got mixed up with the time."
"It's no problem." Sango replied.
Bored, Inuyasha sighed and walked off to where the buffet was in order to get something to munch on.
-X-
When Kagome finished talking she noticed Inuyasha had disappeared and that Miroku was heading towards a girl in a black mini skirt and red top.
"That lecure..." Sango growled clenching her fists and storming off to him before he could reach the girl.
Kagome sweatdropped as Sango began to beat the living hell out of her boyfriend.
"My, my you look stunning."
Kagome felt a tingle up her spine as the voice spoke, turning around she sighed to see Kouga in front of her wearing black pants and a white shirt with the top buttons unfastened so the top part of his chest was visible.
"Please go away." Kagome replied.
"You sure know how to hurt a guy don't you." he said moving forward and forcing Kagome against a nearby wall.
Kagome felt herself becoming nervous as he stepped in front of her and put one hand on the wall so she couldn't walk away.
"Kouga just leave me alone!" she cried hoping someone would hear and come and help her but to her disappointment no one did as the music was so loud.
"You sure are feisty tonight aren't you?" he asked leaning a bit too much closer than Kagome liked.
"I... er..." Kagome stuttered, too nervous to say anything.
Kouga smiled showing his sparkly white teeth, "You're even cuter when you're nervous."
"Oi!" cried a voice.
Kouga looked behind him to see who had interrupted him and Kagome looked around and felt confusion when she saw who it was.
"Inuyasha?" she asked.
Kouga looked back at Kagome for a second then sighed and walked off muttering something.
Kagome stood up straight, "Why'd you do that?" Kagome asked.
"Well if you didn't want me to..." he snarled.
"No it's not that it's just usually you wouldn't do something nice to me." she replied.
"I didn't do it for you!" he cried, "I just couldn't resist angering that bastard."
Kagome smiled making him frown, "You smile too much..."
Leaving a confused Kagome he walked off and Kagome watched as he went to the buffet and began to much on some chicken legs.
Not wanting to lose her appetite at his eating Kagome turned away to see where Sango had gotten off too, she then glimpsed her and thought of joining her as she didn't know many people here and felt too shy, however she stopped when she noticed she was talking with some other girls.
Kagome bit her lip and walked in another direction; if she went to her now Sango would proberly think of her as too clingy and that might ruin their friendship. It was true, Sango was her only friend but Kagome didn't want to ruin that.
Kagome looked around for a quiet place and wondered if Miroku wouldn't mind her going upstairs. On the upstairs hall a lot of people were on there and Kagome sweatdropped as she realised it was mostly couples snogging.
As she passed the doors she noticed many had words written on them and she blushed as she managed to read one...
Room 3, Making Out Room – Don't worry I've left all needed things...
Miroku.
However she noticed many had been scribbled over and guessed it had been Sango when she had been doing up the decorations.
As she reached the end she noticed one door with nothing written on it and curious she opened it only to find a room with nothing in it. She then noticed a balcony and went over to it and walked onto it enjoying the cool night breeze. Kagome had never been to a proper party before so this was her first, letting herself cool down she stood outside for what seemed like ages.
-X-
Finally, after a while she sighed and proceeded to walk back downstairs, once there it seemed as if many more people were there from before and Kagome felt nervous with so many around her.
"Kagome, there you are!"
Kagome saw Sango running to her, once she reached she spoke, "Come on, let's dance!"
"Huh?" Kagome asked but before she could protest Sango pulled her into the crowd and began dancing.
At first Kagome bit her lip and felt too shy but with Sango eagering her on she slowly began to dance until finally she was moving side to side with Sango. For the first time in ages Kagome felt herself truly happy and soon after Miroku came and danced too, pretty soon nearly everyone was dancing to the music.
For the next few hours Kagome danced, chatted, laughed and even had a small taste of alcohol.
"I'm not sure Sango, I've never drank alcohol before..." Kagome protested as her friend pushed the bottle of vodka in front of her.
"Aw, come on at least try it!" she begged.
"Yeah, what are you a coward?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome felt determined at this point and snatched the bottle off of Sango, she paused for a moment as everyone around watched her then in one sigh she put it to her mouth and felt the liquid run down her throat.
At first she didn't taste much but her eyes then widened and she coughed on the disgusting taste she had just drunk.
"Maybe vodka isn't for you..." Sango said nervously.
"How about brandy?" Miroku asked holding a different bottle up.
Sango glared at him.
"Alright I get the message." he replied drinking it instead.
Kagome looked at her watch to see it was 11.30 and wondered if her mother would be worried.
"I gotta go home." Kagome cried over the music so Sango could hear.
"What!?" she asked.
"I SAID I HAVE TO GET BACK!" Kagome shouted as loud as she could.
Sango nodded and the two walked outside the front door.
"You sure?" she asked.
Kagome nodded, "It's been fun but I better be heading back, I'll see you at school on Monday."
"Okay."
Kagome made her way down the path.
"How you getting home?!" she suddenly asked.
Kagome stopped in eh tracks and sweat dropped, turning around she smiled nervously, "Ah..."
"Seriously Kagome, you can't expect to walk home in the dark."
Kagome merely nodded and walked back to the door.
"I'd offer you a ride home but I'm getting a lift with some other girls." she replied. "I know... Inuyasha!"
Kagome looked to where her friend was shouting and noticed Inuyasha on the pavement on his motorbike.
"Sango no..." Kagome whispered.
Her friend ignored her and ran towards Inuyasha.
"What is it Sango?" he asked.
"You going home?"
Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah, I got bored... why?"
"Kagome needs to get home too, can you take her?" she asked pointing to Kagome someway behind her.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, "Can't she walk home?"
"Inuyasha you know she can't do that!" Sango cried back, "Imagine all the weirdo's on the street at this time of night."
Kagome felt a shiver up her spine as her friend mentioned weirdo's and for some reason Kouga's face came to mind at this.
Inuyasha sighed, "Fine but there's no helmets, I have no need for them."
Kagome nodded and walked over and as she passed Sango whispered, "I'll get you..."
"...we'll see." her friend replied returning to the house.
"Get on the back." Inuyasha said.
Kagome nodded and hopped onto the back.
"You'll have to hold on." he said.
"To what?" Kagome asked confused.
Inuyasha glared at her and Kagome realised, "You mean hold onto you?"
"Well duh... unless you wanna fall off. If you do I ain't stopping."
Kagome nodded and put her arms loosely around Inuyasha feeling her cheeks go red.
"You'll have to hold on tighter when we're riding..." Inuyasha said.
Kagome nodded and as Inuyasha started the engine up she spoke, "I never knew you had a licence to drive."
"I don't." came a reply.
"What!" Kagome asked, nearly persuaded to jump right off.
"I mean that I've failed the test 6 times." he replied ignoring her outburst.
"B... but... then you can't drive?!" she cried.
"What? Of course I can... it's just the guys who do the test are stereo-type bastards. Only reason they keep failing me if because I'm not human... dumb fuckers..."
"So you have no licence, doesn't that mean you're driving illegally?" she asked.
"Yeah so what? No one's gonna find out unless someone tells them right?" he asked staring at her.
Kagome pretended zipping her mouth up with her hand.
"Good. Now hold tight, we're going."
Just as he drove off Kagome put her arms around him and good thing too at the speed he was going... Kagome gasped as her ribbon came out and her hair flew all about. It was a good thing her dress wasn't any longer or it would have gotten in the way of the exhaust with it flying behind her.
Kagome tightened her grip and closed her eyes shut as they went faster, was he trying to kill her?
"Where you live?" Inuyasha shouted above the wind flying past them.
"21 Crescent Moon Avenue!" she shouted back.
As Kagome continued to hold on for her life she wondered if he always rode like this or if he was just trying to scare her...
-X-
"You can let go now."
Kagome opened her eyes to the voice and was surprised to see they had stopped, looking around she noticed they were outside her house.
"R...right." she replied letting go.
"Jesus Christ!" he said, "If you'd held any tighter I would have been cut in two."
Kagome frowned, "Well if you hadn't been driving like a maniac I wouldn't have had too!"
"Whatever... you getting off or what?" he asked.
Kagome nodded and thanked god when her feet hit the ground again, for a second she wobbled but then steadied herself so as to not look like a fool.
"You look a right mess!" Inuyasha laughed.
Kagome glared at him, "Yeah well thanks to you I lost my hair ribbon! I guess I can only thank the lord that my dress stayed intact!" she shouted angrily.
Inuyasha stared at her as she said this, "That makes two of us."
Kagome growled, "Just go why don't you!"
"That the thanks I get?!" he shouted. "Fine, next time you need a ride home don't look at me!
With that he drove off leaving Kagome, Kagome sighed and went to her house. Getting the key her mum had given her she opened the door and went inside. The entire house was dark and she slowly made her way to the stairs.
"You're back dear?"
Kagome turned to see her mum standing in the living room.
"Mum?" she asked.
Kagome sat on the sofa with her mum, one of the lamps was switched on and Kagome gently sipped the hot chocolate her mum had made for her.
"I must say you're home earlier than I expected."
"Huh? Mum it's nearly 12.00 you know?" Kagome asked.
"I know but when I was a teenager, I would usually stay out till early in the morning." her mum replied.
"Really?" Kagome said, "Yeah well I guess it just got a bit too crowded for my liking."
Her mother nodded, "So anything interesting happen? After all you look beautiful, attract any boys?"
"M...mum!" Kagome cried just loud enough to show her embarrassment but quiet enough so it wouldn't wake Souta.
"Just teasing... anyway you're right. It is rather late and you look exhausted, why not make your way too bed?"
Kagome nodded and handed over the empty mug, "Good-night mum." she yawned as she walked up the stairs.
-X-
As Kagome welcomed the softness of her bed quilt she closed her eyes glad to get some rest after a very interesting night...
