Oh my God the weekend is back!! I've had so many tests It's been a while! Oh, and by the way, I do apologize if the story has gotten a bit boring but I do want it to be around 20 chapters or more by the time I'm finished, so the chapters I've done so far are only the beginning! The story does get more interesting when the problems begin to set in. P.S. this is a really simple spoiler (which you've probably expected anyway) so don't read the rest if you don't want to= Kagome will be getting a competition for Inuyasha. I mean, you can't get a good-looking guy who has a good job without a fight xP So bear with me, guys! And thanks again for the nice comments

I know that there have been many rumors about Inuyasha: the final act as you've read in my author's note. But it is real. I've watched the first two episodes myself in Eng subbed on this really awesome website that uploads the new Inuyasha episodes every Sunday!!! I'm going to have to watch that until the dubbed version comes out. In the second episode, Kagura dies as I remember from the manga. Awww :'(

So I'll shut up now xP Hope u like this chapter!


Inuyasha: Professor at Shikon High

Chapter Seven: The Dance!!

Disclaimer: Miss Takahashi owns Inuyasha, not me

Kagome's P.O.V

My hair, wet and dripping, falls behind my shoulders and wets the towel wrapped around my collarbone. Rin, Ayame, and Sango are in the kitchen, ordering pizza. We're leaving in five hours meaning we have plenty of time to get ready later. For now, all we want to do is chill and forget our stupid exams that are coming up. The rest of them have already taken their showers before so I'm doing mine now. I towel my hair dry and slip into some old gray sweatpants and a red sweater two sizes two big. When I go down the stairs, my friends are paying the pizza guy the money and bringing in two large boxes of pizza with drinks.

"My God," I say. "Since when could we finish two whole boxes by ourselves? Are you nuts? We can't eat all these!" I stop, thinking. "And how are we going to fit in our clothes for the dance?"

"Aww relax, Kags," Ayame tells me. "If you don't want to eat any, I'll eat your share for you. Aren't I just the most sincere and considerate friend in the world? No need to be modest, guys."

We roll our eyes.

I bite into my warm pepperoni-mushroom-pepper-tomato slice-onion pizza and sigh. "Mm is tastes sooo good!"

Ayame makes a face. "How can you eat a pizza that has so many vegetables?"

Rin and Sango stuff the rest of their shares into their mouths and stand up. "TIME TO GET READY," they singsong. Gosh, how long was that? Two minutes? I groan. Dancing is so not my thing. But to make them happy…. I am so self-sacrificing. But the looks on my friends' faces makes up for it all. And as we make our way to my room, and they discuss their hair, I can't help but wonder what I'd do without them. But I'll appreciate them later. Right now I have to get into my 'girl' mode… which is going to take a bit of effort. But Ayame and Rin's got enough of girl enthusiasm to make up for mine. And that's good enough for me.

&&&

We look at each other in front of the big mirror. My hair is curled at the ends and is unusually glossy. My friends even made me put on some blush (to my great embarrassment) and some lipgloss. I hate makeup though… mostly because I suck at it. Sango braided her hair down her back with silver ribbons and she looks so pretty with shiny lips and twinkling eyes. Rin is exquisite. Her kimono-style dress compliments her figure nicely and her hair has been straightened. We all found this strange because her hair is naturally straight but she insisted she wanted it pin-straight for tonight. There are also some red clips buried in her tresses. And as for Ayame… well if you ask me, I think she's the star of our group for the evening. Unfortunately her hair is still in those pigtails, but her hair was brushed so there is not even one strand out of place. Those tails are tied in green bows that we made ourselves. She has no lipstick on, but had allowed a bit of shimmery sage eyeshadow making her look beautiful and mysterious. I cannot wait to see the look on Koga's face! Or should I be calling him professor at the dance? We would technically still be in the school.

"Remind me why we're not in prom dresses again." Ayame wailed.

"Because this isn't prom!" Sango chides. "It's a dance. Or a small party. There's no point in getting hyper over a 'welcoming dance' now is there? If there's karaoke, we're all singing! And please shut up about being bad singers because I know how good you all are. What song would we sing? Got any that would make Kikyo look bad?"

Rin raises her hand as if she's still in class. "Ooh, ooh, what about Misery Business by Paramore? It fits her exactly!"

"Or Ugly Girl by Aqua?" I laugh. "U.G.L.Y by Daphne and Celeste is okay, too. You know, she could actually be really pretty if she wasn't so mean and she bought decent clothes. I mean, if she was a nice person I bet we wouldn't be so angry at her all the time."

Sango shrugs. "True, but then again, she wouldn't be Kikyo if she was nice."

Ayame suddenly grins. "Hey, I have an idea. I know what we can sing!" When she tells us, we draw back laughing. We agree I'd be a good song. I swear Ayame has great ideas.

"But that song doesn't really have to do with Kikyo," Rin finally says. "That's more of a joke on the professors. Since Kikyo has taken so much time in trying to make our lives miserable, shouldn't we at least return the favour and sing a song that might turn her pretty little head red?" She pauses. "Oh that rhymes! Head- red!" When we look at her with raises eyebrows, she scowls playfully. "Well I thought it was funny," she mutters. "SO we'll just sing two songs, right?" She nods to herself, and one of red clips goes loose. We smile and take one last look in the mirror before going down the stairs with our cameras tucked neatly inside our outing bags. In front of my house, we snap a picture- our heads pressed together, all of us grinning.

On our drive in the car, we sing along to Born For This. At last we arrive to the school and we blink at how good it's decorated. "Wow… maybe the guys really are good at putting up banners and displaying fluffy boas."

"Will you look at that," I nod towards Kikyo's group as they park. Their stereo is on as well, and their heads are bobbing so hard I fear they'll just pop off… that's wishful thinking though. I wince at how loud the song is. I barely recognize it, but then realize it's Toxic by Brittney Spears. Fitting….

But they must be confused or something because they're dressed as if they're going to see the queen of England. Kikyo has the long, red, slinky dress on and matching pumps. Her lipstick is two shades too dark and she put on too much purple eyeshadow so she looks as if she has two black eyes. Kanna looks like a ghost. Like heck… she has the white gown on and this white flower in her freakishly pale hair. Kaguya is in a tropical rainbow dress with colors everywhere with makeup just as crazy, and Yura's clothes are black with fishnet stockings. Oh, and her lipstick is this strange color between red and purple, and her eyeshadow… I'm not even going to bother. This is a school welcoming dance, girl! Can you get any scarier? I doubt it.

I mean, I'm trying not to be so mean when it comes to them because I know they're just lost. But I can't help it! Just looking at them makes me wish I was on the moon sometimes. The look on Ayame's face speaks for me. I just love Ayame so much sometimes.

We glower at each other- a silent showdown between girls. All of us blink in surprise when a shadow is cast over us. We look up to see the professors. Oh my God.

I bolt out laughing my head off and shamelessly fall to the floor. Everyone eyes me as if I'm crazy, and maybe I am, but seeing Inuyasha in a tie is just too much for me to take in on one night. It's immature, I know, but still! I am so going to bug him about this afterwards. We bow to our professors and smile placidly at them. Except me because I'm too occupied trying not to burst out in giggles again. Inuyasha scowls at me and I can see in his violet eyes that he'd gladly strangle me. But besides the tie, he looks really nice. Especially because he actually brushed his long black hair. It looks so smooth I resist the temptation to touch it. Because then that'd just be plain awkward.

The rest of them look nice, too. I can see Kaguya, Kikyo, Kanna, and Yura trying to get the boys to fawn over them, but they're already too busy looking at my friends. And thank goodness for that. Kikyo pulls on Inuyasha's hand, and he snatches it back. I chuckle at this, and she glares daggers at me. She's wearing a look that says "Oh yeah? Well let's see you try to hold his hand, loser!" She's daring me… and I know if I don't do it, she'll win this round.

And I won't let that happen.

"Oh, hey, are you okay Inuyasha?" I ask suddenly. He raises an eyebrow at me and Kikyo titters happily.

"Of course I am; why wouldn't I be?"

"Well it's just that I thought I saw…. Never mind. I'm sure it's nothing."

I purposely look away but I know I've got his attention. "What do you mean? Tell me!" he orders. I sigh dramatically and point to his right wrist because I'm on his right.

"It's just that… well… I thought I saw a tiny piece of glass get stuck in your hand when you were opening the door to the school? When you were coming out? It's still there, I think. Do you want me to help get it out? It could be serious. Don't want to get an infection now, do we?" I ask.

My friends steal glances at me, wondering why the heck I'm acting disoriented. Inuyasha quickly looks at his hand but when he doesn't see anything, he makes a face at me, obviously dismissing my tactics. Kikyo snickers with her friends and I feel the fire in my head rise. Determined to prove her wrong, I grab his hand roughly, and he yelps.

"What do you want?" he demands. "I haven't got glass in my hand, okay?"

I bare my teeth at him, silencing him. He gets the hint. "But then again… I might have. Accidents do happen," he adds wearily. "Oh no, whatever shall we do?" His sarcasm isn't helping! So I pretend to carefully inspect his hand. I blush as I run my fingers against the skin of his palm, tracing the lines. I can feel Kikyo hissing at me, and Inuyasha shifting on his feet uncomfortably. "Uh… is it still there?" he asks unconvincingly.

Just for good measure, I give his hand a small squeeze on Kikyo's behalf before dropping it and watching it go limp by my professor's side. I flash both of them a bright smile before rubbing my hand to the back of my head sheepishly. "There was nothing there… must have been hallucinating." And the look on Kikyo's face is totally worth doing what I just did. Besides, it'd be a lie if I said I had to force myself to touch his hand. Because that is definitely not true.

When we reach the gym, the noise booms in my head so loud, it overpowers my heartbeat. I can't dance to this kind of music! No one can! So we swim through the crowd of people to the drinks. I try to pour myself a cup of grape juice, but I end up spilling it on the floor. Sighing, I wait with my friends for the song to change. No one in the room is dancing properly= that means no slow dancing here. Not even waltzing! Which is actually good news for me because I'm terrible. But some girls are actually dancing with guys except they're not really touching each other besides when the boy twirls the female. I see Ayame has gone with Koga and they're both laughing as they pretend to dance. I know they are just having fun, and I envy them. Rin is desperately trying to get Sesshomaru on the floor, but his arms are crossed, and he's shaking his head seriously. But she drags him and forces him to do some foot work. Finally, I small smile lights his face as he actually begins to enjoy himself.

Then there's vice versa: Miroku wants to get Sango to dance. I know she thinks he's too much of a pervert to dance without trying something dangerous, but they've made a deal, haven't they? Sure enough, she allows him a dance. And even though she tries to be angry at him, I know that she's smiling with the happiness she claims cannot come from a male. But God meant for the two genders to cooperate and blend with each other. So all my friends are dancing except me.

Not really a big deal.

"Enjoying yourself?"

It's Inuyasha. I'm surprised he's not dancing, seeing the lineup behind him trying to get his attention. I nod curtly. "Yes, I'm having a good time… kinda."

"Are you sure? Don't you want to be dancing?"

"Not really."

"Oh, but I just have to repay you for previously checking my hand from a piece of glass." Sarcasm noted. "Don't you think so, too?"

I roll my eyes because I know this is an excuse to get away from the girls who frantically wish for him to notice them. All right, I'll save him. But he owes me. When we've finally escaped from is fangroup, a scowl settles on his face. "Stupid school wenches. I tried to tell them no nicely but they just wouldn't let it drop!"

Shrugging, I try to get my feet on time with the loud music. He notices. "Bad dancer?" he asks.

"Duh."

He smiles, and it's not sarcastic or mean. "At least you're not a whore…. And anyway, you're not that bad a dancer."

"Yes I am."

His smile turns evil. Before I can blink, he spins me around and drops me so that my entire body is tossed down. But he catches me before I can fall. Suddenly, everyone looks at us and I flush wildly. Because of his actions, Inuyasha's leaning towards me, with my head thrown back and arms shaking around his neck which I've only placed there to steady myself from falling. Kikyo's fuming, but my friends laugh at me and give me thumbs up. I scowl.

"What are you doing?!" I hiss under my breath.

Inuyasha laughs quietly. "Giving this sour bunch a show," he answers. And then I'm up again, but this time one of my hands slides off his neck and he grabs it with his own. The other one is around my waist. "Put your right hand on my shoulder," he mutters so no one can hear except me.

"Oh I am going to kill you when this is over," I tell him venomously. But I do as we're told and the headlights are on us. Everyone's watching. The music's less wracking. He's doing this because he knows how bad I suck at dancing. Inuyasha's going to humiliate me in front of the whole school!

Then we're off, twirling unimaginably fast across the floor, as he twirls me, tosses me, and spins me every fifth beat or so. I try my hardest to keep up, but we both know he's doing all the work and I'm just following his lead. Once in a while, I step on his feet, and he winces in pain. But he pretends not to be affected and keeps going. Everyone starts clapping and whistling. Ugh! Those nincompoops- can't they see I don't like being the star attraction?

"I'm going to end it now," Inuyasha whispers to me. "Just do what I do, follow along, and don't fall. If you do that, you'll be fine. Got it?"

I can only nod mumbly.

Smiling, he tightens his grip on my waist and starts pulling me closer. Then I realize what's he going to do. But it's a second too late, because he's already winded me up and throws me out as I spin like a professional ballerina. And I keep going for about six seconds because I can't stop. Everyone Oohs and Ahs at me and just when I think I'll collapse from dizziness, Inuyasha stops me like lightning and he grasps my hand so he can wind me back in. And then he makes me curtsy. He bows. And everyone applauds except for Kinky hoe and her crew.

"And you said you were a terrible dancer," he taunts in my ear before heading towards the stage. And Sesshomaru, Koga, and Miroku follow him. Me? I stand there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

"That was brilliant!" Rin tells me enthusiastically. "How come you didn't tell us you were going to perform?"

"I didn't know," I hiss.

"But it was still amazing," Ayame laughs. "The look on your face when you were spinning though was hilarious."

"I actually caught some pictures while you were dancing," Sango adds. But I don't have time to respond because principal Kaedae announces that Inuyasha, Miroku, Sesshomaru, and Koga are going to be singing karaoke.


Inuyasha's P.O.V

I didn't know I was going to perform with Kagome. It was probably just a crazy idea I got from teasing her in the heat of the moment. But I have to say it was fun as heck. I knew we were going to have to sing right after that, but Miroku chose the song and put the CD on.

"What's the song?" I ask.

"Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney," he responds.

Our jaws drop. "YOU'RE MAKING US SING TO A PATHETIC PRETTY-BOY'S SONG?!" we roar. Miroku just shrugs and grins.

"Yup."

But we don't have time to bonk him on the head because the song starts. We grudgingly take our places on stage and ignore the looks of adoration from these stupid girls who are more or less stalkers.

(SONG) =

Koga: I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away

Inuyasha: I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make the feelings stop

All of them: Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

Sesshomaru: It's gettin' hard to
Be around you
Theres so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make the feelings stop

All of them: Just so you know
This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let 'him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

Inuyasha: This emptiness is killin' me
I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Lookin' back I realize it was always there, just never spoken
I'm waitin' here
Been waitin' here

Mmm oooh

Just so you know
Miroku: This feeling's takin' control
Of me and I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go
Of you but I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
All of them: Whoa
Just so you know
Whoa
Sesshomaru: Thought you should know
Koga: I've tried my best to let go
Miroku: Of you but I don't want to
Inuyasha: I just gotta say it all before I go
All of them:Just so you know
Just so you know'

"Crap…. Holy crap kill me," Kinky hoe and her group sways in front of the stage. "I think that song was dedicated for us!" they coo. I roll my eyes at her. I nod at my friends and we walk off the stage bluntly. Curse Miroku… ah well, life wouldn't be the same without him. Who else would annoy us daily?

Kagome and her friends greet us happily. "That was great," they say. "You're great singers… Miroku chose the song though, didn't he?"

We nod.

Miroku makes a puppy dog face. Eew gross.

"Can we sing next?" Ayame bursts out. The girls shake their heads at her wildly but Koga grins and pushes them up the stairs.

"Go ahead," he says. "Knock yourselves out. I'm sure you'll do a great job." Boy, Kagome's really going to kill me later, isn't she? I don't want to know the answer. Their choice of song has is obviously directed to us as ours was to them, but we flush. It's I Do Not Hook Up by Kelly Clarkson.

(SONG) =

Kagome: Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down
You've got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure, you've found it
Slow motion, sparks
You've caught that chill
Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys
Oh, yes, they will
They don't wanna define it
Ayame: Just give up the game and get into me
If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet

All of them: Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand,
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say goodnight

RIn: I can't cook no, but I can clean
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beat
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last but this is now
So love the one you're with
You wanna chase but you're chasin' your tail
A quick fix won't ever get you well

Ayame: Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand,
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say...

Kagome: Cause I feel
The distance
Between us
Could be over
With the snap of your finger
Oh no!

Sango: Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me, I don't come cheap
Keep your hand in my hand,
Your heart on your sleeve
Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say...
Cause the more that you try, the harder I'll fight
To say goodnight

All of them: Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down
Cause you don't wanna miss out

We blink. Everyone claps. We try to follow.

I didn't know Kagome could sing.

I didn't know she could sing that good.

Wow.

From the look on the rest of their faces, I know that Sesshy, Miro, and Koga are thinking the exact same thing as well. But we can't congratulate them because they don't get off the stage. Instead, another song plays on and I try to not burst out in laughing fits.

"Next song goes to Kikyo and her friends," Ayame says. "I hope you enjoy it!"

(SONG)=

Kagome: Who´s she blowing kisses from the catwalk
Tell me, I really gotta know
Since when did you need another girlfriend
since when, I really gotta know
I really gotta know

Sango: She´s been faking since day one
a friendly kiss includes no toungue
Who´s she, tell me
Now she´s sleeping in my bed
Oh God I wish that she was dead
I need to know
Who´s that bimbo

Ayame: Who´s she looking goofy in a Gucci dress
what´s that , I really gotta know
Which bone in her body should I break first
which one, the bimbo´s gotta go
the bimbo´s gotta go

All of them: She´s been faking since day one
a friendly kiss includes no toungue
Who´s she, tell me
Now she´s sleeping in my bed
Oh God I wish that she was dead
I need to know
Who´s that bimbo

Rin: I know it´s sad
sometimes I just lose my head
boy I´ve been getting so mad
I know it´s sad
sometimes I just lose my head

Ayame: I know it´s sad
sometimes I just lose my head
boy I´ve been getting so mad
I know it´s sad
sometimes I just lose my head

Kagome: She´s been feaking since day one
a friendly kiss includes no toungue
Who´s she, tell me
Now she´s sleeping in my bed
Oh God I wish that she was dead
I need to know

Sango: She´s been faking since day one
a friendly kiss includes no toungue
Who´s she, tell me
Now she´s sleeping in my bed
Oh God I wish that she was dead
I need to know

All of them: Now she´s sleeping in my bed
Oh God I wish that she was dead
I need to know
Who´s that bimbo

Kikyo and her friends had their mouths so wide open, a dog could fit.

We laughed until their sides hurt so much they couldn't breathe. Bimbo by Lambretta? Oh my God that's hilarious! What a nice way to finish this dead party!

Principal Kaedae was trying not to laugh, too- I could tell. But because those hoes starting complaining, whining, and threatening to sue the school, she made Kagome and group get off the stage. They didn't look too upset though. They had satisfied smirks on their faces and when they passed the wannabe group, they blew kisses to them. Kikyo, Yura, Kaguya, and Kanna growled, snarled, huffed, and puffed. Hah! They deserved that. I gave Kagome a high five. Koga and Ayame laughed together. Sango and Miroku were pointing at the other girls and making a face that looked like this: xP, as if they were saying "Ha ha!"

Sesshy… well, he told Rin that her act was rather unsophisticated, but when she looked like she was going to cry, he added that it was still the best damn show he'd seen in his life, and she beamed at him. Kagome then looked at me and mouthed the words: I'll let you off tonight, but tomorrow you're dead.

But I'm not worried. Because tonight, I had the most fun I'd had in about ten freaking years. And it's all thanks to Kagome, Rin, Ayame, and Sango… mostly Kagome though. (A/N ;D)


I hope u liked the chappie guys! I've been suffering from writer's block, but I'm full of new ideas again! And even thought I've been away for a while, this has been my longest chapter so far so I hope that makes up for it!

See u soon, lots of love,
