Note: Made mistake in last chapter preview, it's called Inuyasha's Part instead lol. Not Kagome's... sorry
"...and so their in a few months time you see." Sango finished.
Kagome nodded after just being told when the exams were in this school by Sango.
"Thanks for telling me."
"No prob." Sango replied.
The two girls entered the classroom, on Friday they had been told by the headteacher a.k.a their teacher a.k.a Myouga that something interesting would be happening next week so everyone was quite eager to know what.
As Kagome sat down Kouga turned around and said something however Kagome didn't hear as she was too busy ignoring him and speaking to Kouga. She did however hear Kouga sigh and turn back around and was glad she finally knew how to make him stop hitting on her.
As the rest of the class and Myouga came into the class everyone remained silent and after he had done the register everyone was still eager to hear the news.
"Now class, as I said on Friday a big event will being taken place very soon." he began, "Now instead of me talking I'll let one of the members in the school council, who organised this, tell you about it... Sango if you please..."
"Yes Sir." Sango replied standing.
Kagome was shocked as when she had asked Sango if anything had been said in the council she had shrugged and said no... Boy was Kagome talking to her at break.
Sango stood in front of the class and took a deep breathe before talking, "The school council have been thinking of doing something to raise money for the school so we had one idea..." she explained, "...to do that we are going to hold..." she paused letting the suspense rise before continuing, "...a school pantomime!" she cried.
Whispers sounded around the class until Sango began talking again, "The play we'll be doing is Sleeping Beauty and auditions will start today so we can get this thing moving. I'm one of the judges so along with two other council members I'll get to decide who gets what part."
"Snow White!?" Kagome heard Inuyasha cry from behind her.
"So anyway good luck!" Sango shouted before getting back in her seat.
-X-
At break Kagome quickly caught Sango.
"Why didn't you tell me!" she demanded.
"We were sworn to secrecy by the council other wise we'd be tortured." Sango replied.
"Yeah... yeah..." Kagome murmured.
Inuyasha sighed as he walked with Miroku up to Sango and Kagome who were in the corridor.
"Hi guys." Sango said when they reached her, "Are you gonna audition?"
"Why of course I think I would make a great prince." Miroku replied smiling, "I would take the fair maiden's hand..." he said taking Sango's hand, "...and rescue her from the curse by giving her a lover's kiss..." he continued leaning towards Sango.
"Back off Princy." Sango replied hitting him on the head and pushing him away.
"What about you Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, "Oh please you think I'll audition? Yeah right..." he muttered.
"You better do!" Sango shouted taking a step towards him, "I've already visioned a perfect character for you!"
Inuyasha lifted an eyebrow, "Visioned?"
Sango nodded, "Yup and if you don't audition I'll just have to hunt you down..."
Inuyasha gulped, "Fine... I'll audition. Just make sure I don't get a big part."
Sango smiled and turned to Kagome, "And you're auditioning aren't you Kagome? I mean, you told me you took part in plays at your old school."
Kagome blinked, "What?! I can't... I mean... i... erm..." she stammered.
Sango smiled, "I'll see you all at dinner then in the drama studio where the auditions are, I'll be looking for you!" she said.
-X-
Inuyasha slumped against the wall outside the drama studio, how had he been dragged into this? He hated performing... but then again... it was better than being beaten up by Sango.
The doors suddenly opened and Miroku stepped outside with a sad look.
"So?" Inuyasha asked.
Miroku looked at him, "They said I'm the worst... even my beloved Sango has turned on me." he cried putting a hand over his heart.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"My turn next!" Ayame shouted jumping up from one of the many chairs that were lined along the corridor for people to sit in.
Walking up to the door she called to Kouga who was further down.
"What?" he asked.
Ayame smiled and blew a kiss to him and giggled, "Let's hope we both get the main leads, that way we can kiss!" she said before disappearing inside.
Kouga stared and Inuyasha nearly laughed when he saw the fear in his eyes, Ayame was proberly the only person who frightened Kouga that much...
A few moments later Ayame came storming out muttering things that even I, the author can't write down.
Inuyasha watched her vanish and guessed she must have sung the song that she had done a few years ago. Inuyasha's sensitive ears had been in agony for weeks after hearing that and since then he always made sure to carry ear-plugs with him whenever he went to school... just in case...
Next up was the girl Kagome who quickly went inside.
Minutes later she came back out.
"So?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome shrugged, "I'm not sure, they didn't say anything bad about me..." she explained.
Inuyasha stood against the wall for another fifteen minutes till he was finally called in.
-X-
Next day everyone was silent and ready to listen whilst Sango stood in front of the class with the sheet that said who'd got what. Because there was such a big difference in who was good and who was bad it had been very easy to pick who got what part.
Kikyo secretly crossed her fingers, when she had gone in they had said she was a good actress and she was hoping that if she did get the main lead, Inuyasha would be the one as Prince. That way she would be able to kiss Inuyasha and after that maybe they'd get together.
Unaware of what Kikyo was thinking Kagome sat in her seat very nervous of what part she had been given. Although she had talked to Sango before school she had refused to say anything at all.
"Right everyone, I've put the parts on the black board so you can all see." Sango explained rolling the blackboard till she got the part she wanted. Standing to the side she allowed everyone to see what parts they'd all got.
NamePart
Ayame - Wicked Witch
Kagome - Sleeping Beauty
Kagura - Queen
Kouga - Prince Charming
Kikyo - Fairy 1
Miroku - Dancer 7
Inuyasha - King
Kanna - Helping Assistant
Sesshoumaru - Helping Assistant
Naraku - Helping Assistant
Although some people hadn't auditioned because this was a class with a council member in it everyone had to be involved. So if you didn't have a part you still had to help out with the costumes and things. These people were the ones at the bottom of the list. Most of the main parts were in this class however because Sango had managed to persuade the other judges...
Around the entire class were moans and the only person celebrating was Kouga who instantly turned around to Kagome.
"Hope you're reading for the big finale on the night."
Kagome felt all hope fly through the window and put her head on the table asking God why he had punished her so.
Meanwhile Ayame was furious, "Wicked Witch?! That's not fair! Why can't I be Sleeping Beauty!"
-X-
As the bell went and everyone began leaving the class Kagome came over to Sango.
"You coming?" she asked trying to forget about the pantomime parts for now.
"I'll catch you up." Sango replied going to her seat.
As everyone left only Sango and Miroku were left.
"Hey Sango how come I'm a mere dancer? All I do is stand in the background..." Miroku stated when Sango reached him,
Sang sighed, "It didn't go how I planned... Kouga wasn't meant to be Prince Charming..."
"What about me!?" Miroku cried.
"Forget about you Miroku!" Sango shouted back, "I can't let Kouga take the main lead! Inuyasha was meant to get that!"
Miroku's eyes widened, "But that'd mean Inuyasha and Kagome would have to... kiss..."
Sango smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
"But...why would you do that?" Miroku asked confsued.
"Because..." Sango replied, "It's obvious the two have something more going on. All they need is a push in the right direction..."
Miroku wasn't convinced, "I don't get it, the two are hardly friends never mind lovers. Anyway what about my part!?"
Sango glared at him, "Just forget about you for a second! Anyway... I have to go find Kouga..."
"What for?" Miroku asked.
"I think we need to talk for a bit..." Sango replied smiling slightly.
Miroku gulped, "I know that look..."
-X-
Kagome waited with Inuyasha at the table and when she saw Miroku coming to them was confsued that Sango wasn't there.
"Sango's just going to fetch something." Miroku said before she could ask.
"Oh right." Kagome replied.
-X-
Sango saw her target ahead, Kouga was walking along (with Ayame following) outside and was heading for some steps quite far ahead.
Sango creeped ahead and put the banana skin on the floor (sorry it's something so old...) and quickly retreated and hid behind a tree trunk.
Peeking her head around she watched as Kouga walked to the steps and stepped on the banana skin...
-X-
Kagome sighed and looked at her watch, where was Sango?
"I'm gonna go get her." Kagome explained standing up from the table.
"There's no need, she'll be here any second!" Miroku suddenly blurted out.
Kagome shook her head, "Even so I'm going. See ya!"
Walking down the corridor she suddenly saw a commotion outside and going to get a better look saw a group of people huddled around some steps.
Suddenly something caught her eye, looking around she saw what appeared to be Sango's head from behind a tree trunk. Going over to it she looked behind to see it was Sango.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked.
Sango flinched when she suddenly appeared, "N...nothing!" she blurted back.
Kagome stared and looked back to the commotion far off, "What's happened?"
"Huh? Oh Kouga slipped on a banana skin and fell down the stairs and hurt himself." Sango replied.
Kagome raised an eyebrow, "How come you know so much even though you've been here?"
"Erm... well... I saw it... from behind here..." Sango stuttered.
Although Kagome was suspicious she gave in and let it drop.
-X-
Next lesson after dinner everyone was now aware of Kouga's falling, in the class Ayame was also absent as she was looking after Kouga in the hospital... much to his dislike...
"Now class Sango tells me she wants to say something." Myouga explained gesturing to Sango.
Sango nodded and came to the front of the class, "It turns out Kouga has unfortunately broken his leg..."
Although Kagome wasn't sure, at this point she could swear she saw a bit oh happiness in Sango's eyes.
"...and because of this he can't take part in the play..." Sango continued.
Kagome knew already this was going to happen and was quite happy she wasn't kissing him anymore although she knew it bad to think that.
"...so as the new prince charming we're having Inuyasha!" Sango cried.
Kagome felt her heart thud and turned around to see Inuyasha who was also staring.
"WHAAAAAT!?" Inuyasha shouted leaping up and staring at Sango, "You can't be serious!?"
Kagome turned back around to Sango.
"Well I am. So Miroku will be taking your part as King in the play." Sango explained.
Miroku leapt up at this, "Yes I'm not a dancer!"
Inuyasha glared and growled at him making his sit down and turned his attention back to Sango, "And what if I refuse?"
Sango smiled, "If you refuse I'll be coming for you after school wherever you are."
Kagome looked at Myouga and was quite surprised to see he wasn't even bothered when Sango said this.
Inuyasha growled and slumped back in his seat.
"Well now that's sorted I'll allow Headteacher Myouga to get on with the lesson." Sango said walking back to her seat.
-X-
Kikyo felt heart thumping, if Inuyasha was the prince then that meant... that meant he'd be kissing Kagome...
Kikyo turned her head slightly to see Kagome looking at the front of the class without a care. She looked further back to see Inuyasha slumped in his seat looking slightly annoyed.
Kikyo looked back and stared at her desk; if that was the case then... she'd have to move faster than she planned. But did he still love her? He hadn't showed it when she had spoken to him after school on Friday.
"Erm... Inuyasha?"
"Mmm?" Inuyasha asked staring at her.
Kikyo took a big breathe, "Would you like to study sometime... together?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened, "I... er... I'll think about it." he replied turning around.
Kikyo quickly grabbed his shoulder not wanting him to leave yet he turned his head to look back at her.
"What?" he asked.
Kikyo thought of something to say, "I'll... erm... tell me your answer on Monday kay?"
Inuyasha stared at her a minute longer making her feel even more nervous before he turned back around and walked away.
Kikyo remembered shortly after that her cousin coming to her; she felt her blood boil thinking that Inuyasha liked her cousin more than her.
Clenching her fists she promised herself she'd make Inuyasha her's first.
-X-
Kagome sighed as she sat on her bed in her room, so Inuyasha was now the prince? That meant...
Kagome felt herself blush at the thought of Inuyasha kissing her. Shaking her head to get the thought out of her mind... at least it was better than kissing Kouga at least.
Kagome then remembered her cousin and wondered how she'd feel about this... she sure wasn't going to be happy... Kagome bowed her head thinking of all the upcoming things. High school sure was complicated...
