Kagome had her hair fixed in a large bun that covered the back of her head. She was busily putting an extra pin in when her mum called up to her that her date was here. Kagome put in her small rose shaped earrings and clasped the matching necklace around her neck. She took a deep breath and started downstairs.
InuYasha fidgeted nervously in his tux. Then he saw Kagome. 'She really is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.' He thought to himself as he fumbled around for her corsage. He opened up the box and placed the small rose on her.
"You look...gulp...really, uh, beautiful." He chocked on his own tongue. Kagome blushed and allowed him to escort her to the car that already held Sango and Miroku. She slid in next InuYasha and settled her shawl around her shoulders.
They pulled into the parking lot and walked in the door. InuYasha paid for Kagome, much to her protest. They walked into the ballroom the school had rented for the special night. Chandeliers hung from the high ceilings and white clothed tables held snacks. Music filled the air as some couples were already dancing on the hardwood floor. Sango immediately drug Miroku onto the dance floor. She looked gorgeous in her yellow dress and it was obvious that Miroku was proud to have her as his date.
Kagome and InuYasha hung back for a while. "Erm, do you want to dance?" he asked, looking very tentative.
'He's so cute when he's nervous! Much better than when he's frowning. If only I could make him laugh more. Then he'd be perfect.' She thought to herself, forgetting his question entirely. "Oh, Sure!" she said and walked into the crowd, InuYasha wandering along behind her.
"Can you believe that jerk off? Touching you like that? I could-" InuYasha was raging because some guy had touched Kagome's bum. She looked furiously for something to calm the guy down. Her eyes laded on the closet thing to her. "I cou-" He was stopped mid sentence as Kagome stuffed a gooey rice ball into his mouth. He chewed and gave her a funny look, almost saying 'What was that for?' She laughed at his dismay and quickly explained to him
"Shut up! We're here to have fun, not kill people for touching me! Let's dance some more and forget it. Besides, would you choke me for this?" She reached up and grabbed his ears, giving them a thorough rub. He made his purring sound that he insisted was a growl. He snarled at the funny looks the others were giving to the purring teenager. They walked back out onto the dance floor and danced the evening away. Suddenly they were interrupted by the voice of their school principal on the microphone.
"Okay, if I could have your attention please! It's time to announce our prom king and queen! First we have as our gorgeous prom queen....Kagome! And her king will be...InuYasha! Come on up here you two!" Kagome and InuYasha merely stood still, shocked. Finally InuYasha jerked out of his reverie upon hearing the cheering. He took Kagome's hand gently and led her up to the platform. A small tiara was placed gently on Kagome's head where as InuYasha declined the tacky king's crown. "Let's let our couple have the first slow dance of the evening!" Everyone backed away to leave a circular opening for the pair. The slow tune began as Kagome walked InuYasha into the area. They slowly danced and InuYasha stepped back.
