Disclaimer- I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters.
A/N- I am on the favorites list of over 40 people, that makes me so incredibly happy! And thanks so much for all the reviews. I am going to try to get this out fast so that you wont have to wait so long for the next chapter. This chapter will be dedicated to the dance, I hope you think it's good! I love all my great reviewers but I'm just too lazy to list them all but you know who you are. Now onto the story.
Chapter 14- Dance, Dance (A/N- I love that Fall Out Boy song!)Kagome glanced at the traitorous alarm clock for a moment before finally deciding that just glaring at it won't make it shut up. She leaned over to her bedside table reaching out with a lazy hand trying to find the power button. Reaching too far over she fell out of the bed and landed with a dull thud on the ground. By now she was used to falling out of bed and had placed a few blankets on the ground for just such a moment.
She finally succeeded in turning off the alarm clock but figured that since she was already up what was the point of going back to sleep? She half crawled, half walked to the bathroom and pulled herself into the shower with a sigh. Today they were going to the mall to try to find dresses for the dance. She needed to find something stunning or else she just knew she would dull in comparison to her date. Besides when she sees Kikyo there she wanted to look her best.
Humming a little tune she grabbed a towel and started to dry off her body while she walked back into her room and looked through the closet. (Remember people she has a bathroom attached to the room so she was not walking around her house naked.) Finding success in a plain white tank top and a denim skirt she started to make her way down to the kitchen for breakfast.
Looking around quickly and not finding any sign of her mother she walked back into the kitchen and noticed a note attached to the counter.
Dear Kagome,
Sorry to leave so soon in the morning but I had a deadline at work and I need to be there this weekend. Souta was at his friend's house last night and will be staying there tonight too so don't worry about him. Have fun with your friends at the mall.
Love,
Mom
PS- No sex in public.
Kagome glanced down at the last part and let out a little groan. Her mother would never change would she? At least Inuyasha wasn't around to hear it this time. Setting the note back down on the counter she pulled out the cereal box and ate in silence before her cell phone upstairs started to ring like crazy.
"Hello?" Kagome held the phone to one ear while balancing her breakfast in the other. Don't ask why she didn't just set it down. She does stupid things in the morning.
"Hey Kagome! Are you almost ready to go? You better be cause we are on our way to pick you up right now!" Kagome held the phone back from her ear a bit a she heard Ayame screaming into it.
"Ayame you don't have to yell. I'm all ready too so I'll see you in a couple minutes. Ciao." Kagome smiled as she heard the other line go dead. Ayame didn't like to say goodbye so instead she just hung up on people. Weird right? But that was Ayame for you.
Kagome placed the phone into her purse and went back down into the kitchen to finish up her breakfast before the girls arrived. She still couldn't believe she was going to the dance with Inuyasha. It should be fairly obvious to her that he would ask her to the dance after all they did in Italy together but it was still surprising.
She smiled a bit to herself as the doorbell rang. Jumping up from her seat she rushed to the door and threw it open revealing Sango on the doorstep and the others still in the car. Kagome rushed upstairs and grabbed her purse before jumping into the back seat with Rin.
"So where are we going first?" Kagome leaned forward in the seat and turned down the music a notch when she heard a song she didn't like start to play.
"Well there are a lot of dress shops in the mall but we don't want the same dress as anyone else so we'll be going to this little dress boutique down the street first." Sango chanted while pointing to Ayame where to turn.
"Sounds good to me..." Kagome leaned against the window and glanced out watching the scenery roll by.
"You sound a little nervous Kagome." Rin looked at Kagome a little worried about her friend's sanity level at this point.
"I'm not nervous I'm just thinking." Kagome turned and smiled at Rin as the car came to a stop outside a small dress shop. They exited the car and walked inside. "So who's dress should we find first?"
It was decided that they would find a dress for Rin first. At the beginning Kagome thought they would all just split up and find their own dresses but Sango, Ayame, and Rin seemed to think that took all the fun out of it.
They had been out shopping for hours before they finally decided that they had all the necessary dresses, shoes, and accessories to make them all look perfect for tomorrow. After dropping Kagome off and saying goodbye Kagome headed up to her room and gently set everything down on her vanity so she could find it easy tomorrow. All the girls were coming over to her house to get dressed so that they could help each other with their hair and make-up.
Remembering almost last minute Kagome reached into her purse and pulled out her cell phone quickly dialing in Inuyasha's number. It rang only once before She heard Inuyasha pick up. "Hey Inuyasha."
"Oh hey baby, what's up?" Inuyasha was slightly out of breath and leaned back in the seat of the car. He had just gotten out of a fight with Naraku and it was hard to tell whom had won considering they were both pretty beat up. Inuyasha had managed to protect his face from getting bloodied up so that Kagome wouldn't notice at the dance tomorrow.
"You sound a bit out of breath is everything all right?" Kagome rolled back onto her bed listening to the other line.
"I was just out running with Miroku. Got to stay in shape baby." He smiled a bit satisfied with the little lie.
"Well all right... I called cause I completely forgot to tell you that I picked out a pale blue dress earlier on today. I hope its not too late or anything..." Kagome's voice died off a little worried that she was causing him trouble by being so late with the information.
"Don't worry about it. I'll have plenty of time to pick it up tomorrow. I'll see you then."
Kagome smiled a bit happy that she hadn't let him down at all. "All right I'll see you then, bye."
"Love ya, bye." Kagome starred at the dead phone for a moment. Did he just say love? No he didn't say 'I love you' he said 'love ya' there is a major difference... right? She let out a sigh. Who was she kidding? She was talking about Inuyasha. He's really not that complicated. Forgetting about it she rolled out of bed and turned off the lights before drifting to sleep.
Kagome woke up to the sun shining brightly into her eyes. Stretching a bit and yawning she looked over to her clock and noticed that it was already almost noon. Everyone should be there soon to get ready! The dance started at six and ended at midnight.
Kagome jumped out of bed and quickly jumped into the shower cursing her alarm clock for not working that morning. After taking a quick shower she jumped out and threw on some clothes before running towards the door and opening it up letting Sango, Ayame, and Rin inside.
They were all carrying a bag full of their stuff which the set down in Kagome's room. "Ok let's get started..." All the girls got changed into their dresses first so that they could match make-up and hairstyles and all that good stuff with their dresses.
It took almost five hours until all the girls were satisfied with their looks and ready to meet the guys. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were taking one car cause they lived together while Miroku picked up Koga and drove there together.
Kagome looked at herself in the mirror and she sighed tugging a little here and there on her dress. It had looked so good at the store but now she was wondering if it was good enough. "Do I look all right you guys?"
"Kagome stop stressing you look like a fucking goddess now help me with my hair!"
Kagome jumped a bit and let out a little nervous laugh. "Of course Sango... I'll be right there just don't yell at me."
Rin just let out a little laugh at Sango and Kagome while Ayame helped her clasp on her necklace. The guys were supposed to be there any minute now so that Kagome's mom could take pictures and lecture them about being safe that night. Kagome let out a mental sigh. She could just imagine what that speech was going to sound like.
Then the doorbell rang. They all rushed to Kagome's window to look out and sure enough it was the guys standing on the front steps. Her mother let them in and they all let out an excited little squeal. Yes it was random and childish, deal with it.
"Well girls ready to go down and stun them?" They all let out a little nod. "So what order do we go down?"
"Why do you need an order Sango? Can't we just walk down?"
"Kagome you have no sense. In the movies they always walk down one by one!"
"Yea but Ayame we're not in the movies!"
"Kagome just shut up and do it our way..." Kagome just let out a little sigh and nodded. She knew when she was outnumbered. "All right I think Rin should go first, then Ayame, then me, then Kagome."
"Why do I have to go last?" Kagome made a little pouting face.
"Cause I say so." And with that it was final. Kagome was going last and nothing she could say could change that.
They headed out to the hallway and stood at the top of the stairs in a line for their respective places. Kagome still thought it was the most ridiculous thing to do but she was there standing obediently in her place at the end of the line. They could hear the guys talking at the foot of the staircase. Well arguing might be a better way to put it.
They started walking down the stairs. Rin was wearing a pale yellow dress with a V-neck halter-top. The dress flowed down to her ankles where it stopped in an uneven hem to give the dress a less classical look. The hems were sewn with gold thread and around the waist was tied a gold sash to throw off the normalcy of it. Her hair was left down and it flowed over her shoulders in natural waves. She wore an assortment of gold bangles on both of her arms that let out a light tinkling sound when she moved them and a simple gold chain necklace. Rin wasn't one for much make-up and only wore a bit of shiny lip-gloss and a flash of gold eye shadow.
Next came Ayame. Ayame was wearing a light green dress. It had thin spaghetti straps and hugged her torso. The bottom half of the dress fanned out a bit and ran all the way down to her feet. Up the side of the dress was a long slit that ended a couple inches above her knee. Ayame had one silver charm bracelet on her wrist and a silver necklace with an emerald pendent. She wore red lip-gloss and some black eyeliner to really bring out the green of her eyes. Ayame's hair was half up and had a matching emerald clip on the back.
Then it was Sango's turn. Sango's dress was a beautiful rose color and looked fairly normal in the front with a simple halter-top and a slim dress that hugged her body on the top but loosened a little on the bottom to give her legs room to move when she danced. But there was literally no back to Sango's dress. The fabric picked back up again a little below the waist but above that was all skin. She had one large pale red cuff like bracelet on each arm and a simple matching choker. Her lip-gloss was a pale pink color and she had on her normal dark red eye shadow. Her hair was left down but they had curled the ends and made her hair much wavier so it flowed even better.
Kagome had the honor of getting to go last. She was wearing a pale blue and elegant dress. It didn't hug her figure too much leaving her plenty of room to move in it but the dress flowed off her curves perfectly. It ended at her feet flowing outward at the bottom so that when she walked it fanned and flared just a bit. She wore no bracelets but long white gloves on each arm that reached just past her elbow. Around her neck was a simple pearl necklace. She had on shiny pink lip-gloss and silver eye shadow. She also had a little bit of body glitter on the corners of her eyes. Her hair had been pulled into a loose bun with random strands of hair that had fallen out framing her face. Strands of pearls had been woven into her hair to hold up the bun. (A/N- thank you iceprincess421 for Kagome's outfit.)
Once they had all reached the bottom of the stairs there was an awkward silence in which the guys simply starred at their dates. Finally Miroku summed it all up in one word. "Wow."
The girls just laughed a little happy that they had managed to impress their dates so much. All the guys were dress pretty much the same but really that was to be expected. Sesshomaru looked the most proper out of the bunch with a perfectly tailored black tuxedo with a gold undershirt to match Rin's dress. Both the tuxedo and the shirt were buttoned up all the way and his long silver hair had been combed back and set in a simple low ponytail at the nape of his neck.
Koga looked a lot rougher then Sesshomaru. While Sesshomaru's tux looked like it was attached to his body Koga's tux was looser and hung off him. He wore a pale green undershirt that was almost buttoned up all the way except for the top button to make it easier to breathe, but his tuxedo was completely unbuttoned. His hair was in the customary tight high ponytail with a few loose strands here and there.
Miroku hadn't worn a tuxedo for the simple fact that he thought it was too formal and he was a very casual laid back guy. He wore simple black slacks with a red button up shirt. Kagome thought it odd seeing him in red considering she was so used to Inuyasha done up in that color. But Miroku did look like a perfect gentleman. His hair was in the normal low loose ponytail but with hair that short he really couldn't do that much else with it. He had a couple silver hoops in his ears instead of the gold ones he was used to wearing.
Inuyasha didn't have a tuxedo either but Kagome was expecting that. He also wore simple black slacks and a shirt similar to Miroku's except it was pale blue to match Kagome. He had the first few buttons undone probably just so he could show off his body since he was in amazing shape. His hair had been pulled back and braided into a long ponytail that slid down his back.
"Well I know I look amazing but Kagome I think you just may look better then me." Inuyasha let out a little smirk and threw his arm around Kagome's waist pulling her closer to him.
"I'll take that as a compliment." She smiled up at him. The other guys had approached their respective dates and were talking to them but she really wasn't listening right now. Inuyasha was about to lean down and kiss her when her mother burst into the room with a camera.
"All right everyone line up over there and let me take some pictures." Korari waved the camera around in the air like she thought they hadn't already guessed she had it.
"Mom we know you have the camera you might drop it if you keep waving it around like that!" Korari just smiled a bit and took about ten pictures before preparing to make her speech.
"Now I know there might be a lot of sex and drugs and alcohol wherever you are going but your parents have told me to make it perfectly clear that you will not have sex. Now that I have said that Kagome go ahead and have completely unprotected sex because I want grandchildren just don't do it in public. Everyone else use a condom."
"MOM!" Everyone just starred at Korari for a minute like she was mad until Kagome's little outburst. Soon everyone was heading out the door laughing at Kagome as she turned an even brighter red with every passing moment.
Soon they were pulling into the school parking lot just a minute after the dance began. They managed to find a parking space and they all hopped out of the car and broke up into pairs heading for the door.
The school gymnasium had been completely decorated with lights, banners, glitter, streamers, and anything else the school could find. And the place was packed. Kagome and Inuyasha quickly lost sight of the rest of the gang but decided against trying to find them. They would meet back up at the cars at midnight.
The DJ booth started to play Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy. "Would you like to dance?" Kagome glanced back up at Inuyasha as he extended his hand for her to take and swept her unto the dance floor, which was swaying back and forth with the beat.
"I'm surprised you can dance." Kagome let out a little laugh as she moved with Inuyasha.
"I'm hurt Kagome. I'm just amazing at everything, haven't you realized this yet?" Inuyasha swept down and gave her a kiss. "Your mom interrupted us at the house."
She just smiled up at him and she couldn't be any happier. Well that was until Kikyo had to try to ruin the dance for her. Inuyasha and Kagome had taken a break after dancing non-stop with each other for the longest time and the dance was starting to slow down at it reached eleven o'clock at night. They had decided to sit for a minute and get something to drink. Inuyasha had walked off when Kikyo walked up to Kagome.
"Poor little pathetic Kagome. Are you here all alone? I'm not surprised I mean who would want to ask you to the dance." Kikyo let out another annoying laugh. She was wearing a painfully bright pink dress that ended way above her knee and had a considerably large V-neck.
"For your information Kikyo I'm here with Inuyasha which means I won the bet! So you have to leave him and me alone. Now back off whore." Kikyo starred at Kagome in shock for a minute.
"You did not just call me a whore you filthy slut!" Kagome's eyes literally turned red at this and she stood up to stare Kikyo down. They weren't causing a scene considering the music was still so loud nobody could hear them.
Kagome reached up and slapped Kikyo in the face. Satisfied she turned around to leave when Kikyo grabbed her by her dress yanking her back and ripping the material as she did so. "You did not just slap me!"
"You ripped my dress!" Kagome was starring at the hole in her dress in shock when she felt something freezing hit her and realized that Kikyo had poured the punch all over her dress. Now people were watching. Kagome starred down at her dress in shock. It was now ripped and soaked with dark red liquid. She was so shocked she couldn't even think to hit Kikyo or do anything to get her to stop laughing at her. It turns out that she didn't need to do anything though cause Inuyasha had returned.
"Kikyo you fucking bitch how dare you." Inuyasha's voice was dangerously low as he glared at Kikyo.
"Inu-baby she deserved it!" Kikyo placed her hands on her hips and smirked victoriously. By this time everyone was watching.
"One, don't call me that stupid ass name ever again you fucking whore and two, stay away from Kagome. You deserve every bit of this." Inuyasha walked past her and threw his and Kagome's cups of punch on her. Since Inuyasha was smarter then Kikyo instead of aiming for the dress like she did he splashed it into her face causing her make-up to smear, it to seep into her hair, and splash onto her dress. She let out a surprised and angry scream but Inuyasha didn't wait around for her to retaliate. He grabbed Kagome's hand and tugged her gently to the exit. Sesshomaru met him on the way out and simply gave him the keys to the car and they left the dance.
"Thanks." Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and smiled at her in response.
"Kagome, you're my girlfriend and you mean the world to me. I wasn't about to let that bitch do that to you and get away with it."
"Girlfriend?" Inuyasha stopped by the car and let out a sigh.
"Well I was hoping you were my girlfriend now at least." He looked down at her nervous that she might reject him.
"Of course I'm your girlfriend, I'd rather be your girlfriend then anything else in the world right now." She beamed up at him and he gave her a simple smile in return opening the car door for her. Once they were both in the car he turned it on and turned out of the parking lot, but instead of heading toward the shrine he went the opposite direction. "Inuyasha the shrine is that way." She looked up at him confused.
"I know but in Italy I promised to take you on a date to see Tokyo at night didn't I? Sesshomaru and Rin can get a ride with the others." He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
"I thought you had forgotten about that." Kagome blushed a bit and looked down at herself. "I'm a complete wreck right now though."
Inuyasha looked at her. Her dress was torn at the back and on the side and stained. Her hair was messed up and falling out of it's bun her make-up had started to wear off during the night but, "You've never looked more beautiful to me."
A/N- End of that chapter and I wrote it all in one and a half days before I left on vacation. You should be proud. I wrote this 24/7 lol. Tell me what you think. They are officially girlfriend/boyfriend. Kikyo has been ruined. And now they are about to go on that date I mentioned a few chapters ago. Please review, review, and review! Next update will either be right before the 4th or after the 9th in July of course. Maybe I'll write it as fast as I wrote this one! Love you all, ciao.
