Ok folks i don't know how many more chapters there'll be but I will be announcing that it'll soon be over! So let's go I do not own Inuyasha~
She was spiraling out of control, everything in her life came crashing down, shattering her. Her tears dripped like crystals, she was losing herself, this hadn't been the first time she's been betrayed. And now...all I can do is hold her as she breaks.
3rd P.O.V
It has been a month since the Inu family dropped by unannounced to escort her to their house for dinner. And a weird pattern has settled in. Even though Jaken recovered from his sickness within a few days, she still came to help out with meals and cleaning. In a sense she became a part of the family.
Rin absolutely adored Kagome, the two girls became quite close. The teenager laughed when Rin told her that though she loved her brothers cooking, they sucked, and that though she could cook, she really just wanted to have another girl to talk to.
'I don't have many friends, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru always scare people away...' For a kid, the girl was very smart, also pretty observant. So every day Kagome would come into the household, help Jaken(much to his reluctance) prepare breakfast.
Next she would go get Rin, while Jaken went to get his employers...which was bad since neither male like to be awakened in the morning. They'd all meet in the dining area to eat. Inuyasha, Rin and Kagome would all head to school(them dropping off Rin first)
Kagome would head on to her brother's school to pick him up, and they'd hang out at her home, before she would once more go over the the Inu home, to assist with dinner. She even got paid for her work(despite her protests)
Sometimes Sota came, but he didn't want to disturb his sis, even if he did come, he'd just hang out with Rin. Because both children knew...she was in love~ It's really no surprise seeing how the signs were there. Her light blush at him looking at her, her daydreaming at random moments. A soft sigh now and then.
They wanted their elder sister living a happily ever after like in the story books they read. And that chance came rolling by rather quickly. "Kagommemeeeee~" Kaname came up to her friend, an excited gleam in her eyes. "What's up?" The brown haired girl stopped, trying to catch her breath.
"Did-did you hear the news?" Higurashi shook her head, confused. "No what?" She started to feel a bit of worry seeing her classmates grin. "There's going to be a Valentine's day dance in a few days~" Kagome immediately blushed, knowing what she was thinking. "Sooooo are you gonna go?~"
The raven haired maiden shook her head fast...too fast. "N-no. And besides it's not like i have a date." She paled as Kaname gripped your shoulders. "This is your chance though! You can tell him how you feel." Kagome cursed herself.
She should've never told Sango and Kaname, she loves them to death, but since her confession for the white haired man was revealed, they just wouldn't shut up about her telling him. She was too shy to say anything like that to him. "She's right you know"
Sango came up to the pair, causing a groan of irritation. "There's no way I can tell him! And who are you to talk Sango..." Her face was burning at this point, as it should.
A thought popped up, a light bulb flashed and dinged with inspiration. Sango tried to steer the conversation back to her friend. "Ok...if you don't tell him, then why don't you do this..."
A whispered conversation traveled between the three. Words flew. Concerns were addressed. "Come on Kagome...this is your chance!" Sango and Kaname promised to give her support, they wanted her to be happy. And were determined to help.
They knew about the traumatic nightmares she continued to have, night after night. They thought her finding someone to be with and trust would be a way to allow her to heal. Eventually the two wore her down.
She would find a dress, she would go to the dance, and she would reveal her feelings to the one that stole her heart. It was decided, and it would be accomplished.
time skip...the night of the dance
She checked her appearance, pouting slightly noticing her hair wasn't cooperating. "Ugh...why did I agree to do this!?" Her palms were sweaty, shaking, trying to get the hair styled the way she wanted it to.
Just getting out of the bath, residue and moisture was in the air, the heat was leaving, her skin gaining goosebumps. Her dress was laid out on her bed. Waiting for her. With a final huff in annoyance she gave up, walking out of the bathroom.
Kagome struggled into the lovely pale blue gown. It went down to her feet, hiding them from view, it was sleeveless, thing straps being the only thing holding it up. Her hair was slightly curled into a ponytail. Light makeup was used to help enhance her eyes and cheeks. Finally she worse matching blue inch heels.
'I feel like a princess going to the ball!' She didn't have a date, but felt she didn't need one in the first place. Instead going with Kaname, and Sango as a buddy group. 'There's no way they'll let me back out of this...' Kagome accepted her fate and now had to walk down that path forced upon her.
She slipped down the stares. "Wow sis you look great!" She smiles, ruffling his hair. "Thanks Sota." Putting on her coat, she gives goodbyes to her family, heading out into the cold dark sky.
She rubs her hands together for heat when she hears a car horn honkin. "Let's go!" With a final grin Kagome marches up to Sango's car, slipping into the heated vehicle. "Alright! We're ready to party!" They drive off excitement coursing through their veins. "This is gonna rock!"
