Chapter 7
"Wow Kagome…you look great!" Sango whispered as her friend walked out of the room wearing a long pretty, dark blue dress. It matched her pretty figure and added something to her hair and eyes. As she turned Miroku walked out of the room and looked like he was about to faint. Surprisingly he wasn't looking at Kagome. He was looking past her at Sango who was wearing a light pink dress.
"You ladies look beautiful." Miroku looked regaining consciousness. Inuyasha's mother walked up next to Kagome.
"Yes, you all do look handsome and beautiful. The two boys are put to bed, (YEA RIGHT SHIPPO NOT SNEAKING TO SPY!?!) They already ate and send their regards and hope you have a good time. Inuyasha already has the guests. Just to let you all know, this is the ball for high nobility and the returning of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father." Inuyasha's mother gave Miroku a look that said behave and told them to come down immediately since most of the guests were already here.
"Well, we might as well go." Kagome said with a slight sadness in her voice. Miroku sidled up next to her and whispered in her ear.
"Kagome, if Inuyasha gets to be to much, signal me and I'll come help you. I realize that the separation of his memory hurts you too with the mating." Miroku said softly. Kagome nodded and smiled. They walked in and almost immediately a slower song came on. Several princes were there and many princesses. A boy walked up to Sango before Miroku could make it all the way and asked her. Miroku tried to get to Kagome but another guy asked her before he could get there and you could see his face go red. He then saw a pretty girl and asked her. She said yes and all of them were dancing.
"My name is Prince Kouga. I'm from Northern Japan. You are quite beautiful…" Kouga said trying to see her eyes again.
This guy is really irritating. He is Kouga…but Kouga died in the battle against Kagura when we beat her. Right before we went against Naraku.
"Oh really…" Kagome said and slowly moved a bit farther away looking for Inuyasha. She found him in the corner looking about the room. His eyes were about to comb over her and she quickly looked away and the dance ended.
"Thank you Prince Kouga. If you will excuse me." Kagome said and slowly blended into the crowd.
There's Kagome and there's that lecher. There's the guy that asked Kagome to dance. Wait that's…I recognize him. He's…no I've never seen him before. But, when he dances with Kagome it makes me so mad. He shouldn't be near her.
"Feh!" Inuyasha said slowly. Kagome had quite a few guys around her giving her drinks and offering her stuff. Inuyasha felt like screaming. He made his way over to her before the next song and grabbed her hand, surprising himself.
"Eh? Inuyasha. Do you want to dance?" Kagome said smiling at him. Inuyasha's face got a little red and he nodded with a shy look on his face his ears flattening against his head. (AWWWW! HOW CUTE!!!!)
Wow. She sure is pretty when she smiles. If she frowns or cries I feel down but when she smiles like that I feel so much better for some reason. I'm glad Kikyo isn't here…what am I saying?
"Inuyasha?" Kagome was looking at him. He had been standing next to her in the middle of the dance floor thinking. He blushed again and slowly started dancing to the slow song that came on. She put her arms around him and he suddenly felt complete for some reason.
This feels so normal, so complete. I never have felt this way before. I didn't even feel like this in my mother's arms. She makes a dance like heaven.
Kagome slowly looks around the room and spots Kouga. Instead of his usual mad face when she's around Inuyasha, he had a slight grin and he winked at her.
Wait…since Kouga is dead, he was been part of Kikyo's spell. He must remember. He must be like Inuyasha's mother. Maybe he can help me. I will ask him, but after this dance.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha felt a slight whisper of her name come out of his mouth. He felt as if a spirit was also in his body at the moment.
It's the demon that was pinned to the tree. He loved Kagome. If he loved her, maybe I love her now. Maybe I just don't know about it…this feeling, I love it. Around Kikyo, I don't feel this.
The slow dance ended (NO!! I wanted it to last longer but there's no such song! It had to have been like 3 minutes already) a fast dance came on and Kagome excused herself and walked away leaving Inuyasha in the middle of the floor. But, as soon as she left, he was not alone. Princesses automatically walked up and began to ask for dances.
Poor Inuyasha was left in the middle and forced to dance fast even though he had no clue how to and looked rather funny. (I had to add the funny part!)
"Kouga!" Kagome called as she walked out of the crowd. Kouga walked up to her and whispered in her ear (What's with guys and whispering around Kagome?)
"Kagome, we can't talk about that around here. Follow me."
Kagome followed him outside and they walked to a bench.
"I take it you have your memory Kagome." Kouga said slightly grinning.
"Yea, my problem is Inuyasha. How am I going to get him into the past? I can't release the spirits without the person there."
"If you want me to I could force him…" Kouga said slightly smiling again.
Kagome shook her head and smirked. "You couldn't if you wanted. Inuyasha has one heck of a will. If he doesn't want to do something he won't."
"He has a weakness." Kouga said.
"What?"
"You. You're his weakness. He can't get rid of you and he doesn't have any clue that he has feelings for you. Your tears always hurt him too. You can kill him by crying." Kouga said slowly. "I actually wish you didn't free any souls. Once you get the Shikon no Tama and free everyone, set Kikyo to rest, and save the world like you usually do, I won't be able to see you anymore." Kouga said sadly. "I missed you Kagome. You are the only one I ever really loved. I know, you are in love with Inuyasha…and I know he's here. Well, his memory, his body will be here along with the rude insensitive dog-turd mind will be here in a few minutes probably." Kouga said.
"Hey, you know he is my mate." Kagome said turning and giving him a playful punch.
"I know I was at the wedding. Don't worry I left before you guys did anything. I'm a good wolf." Kouga said grinning again. (I do like Kouga but I think he isn't a good match for Kagome.) Kagome blushed a deep shade of red.
"I wish Kikyo didn't do this. She really isn't this bad." Kagome said softly tears coming to her eyes.
"Tears don't suit you Kagome. Don't worry. Part of Kikyo's soul is on that tree, remember? I'm sure Kikyo would never go this far. She sealed the pure part of her soul, or your soul…whatever." Kouga said sighing and still seeing Kagome's tears. He slowly leaned forward.
"Kouga, you know I can't do this." Kagome said. "I love Inuyasha. Don't do that."
"Can I give you a hug then? A hug between friends." Kouga said.
"Ok Kouga. Between friends." Kagome said hugging him back.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha called ruining the moment between Kagome and Kouga. He saw Kouga and Kagome together in the embrace and slowly backed up. Kouga jumped and Kagome backed away really fast.
"Inu…Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned seeing his shocked look.
"Kagome what are you doing with this guy out here at night?" Inuyasha said his eyes glowing dangerously.
"Why do you care Inuyasha?" Kagome asked her face red.
Well…my job was to make him jealous. I guess I was just doing it faster.
"Kagome…what were you doing?" Inuyasha said again obviously trying to dodge her question.
"What are you doing Inuyasha? I thought you really didn't care." Kagome said.
"I DON'T!" Inuyasha screamed in her face. He moved towards Kouga and Kagome. Suddenly Kagome saw her way out.
The beads! I can say sit!
"SIT!" Kagome screamed in his face. To her relief he smacked into the ground and she said good-bye to Kouga and left Inuyasha stunned in the dirt.
"You shouldn't have said that Inuyasha. You deserved what you got." Kouga said and quickly moved out of the area before the spell wore off and Inuyasha got even madder.
(Just in case you didn't know these are Kouga's thoughts.) She's right. Last time I saw the two of them they were a lot closer. He's just like he was when they were searching for the shards. He obviously doesn't know he cares for Kagome. If I hadn't seen there marriage I wouldn't believe it happened and that he was actually mature enough to tell Kagome his feelings before.
(Inuyasha's thoughts)
What the hell just happened? The demon on the tree that gave me those visions was right. That word hurts a lot! He must have been telling the…. no he couldn't be real. He couldn't really be telling the truth. I don't love Kagome, I love Kikyo.
Inuyasha got up and walked to the castle looking for the girl that had caused all of the confusion so far in his life.
Author's POV: Well I dunno where to go from here! R&R where does it go?! (Hits Kouga for no reason)
Kouga: OUCH!
Inuyasha: Good one!
Thank you!
