FORGIVENESS AND A DANCE

Kagome closed her eyes, waiting for him to embrace her gently. Then she felt it. His warm lips pressed against her own tenderly. Even though it was ten degrees below zero outside, the newfound couple felt that it was ninety-eight degrees and rising. A vision of two figures holding each other closely together could be seen through the foggy windows of the old library. More flurries began to descend from the rose-coloured sky. The moment seemed like that it had lasted forever, even though it lasted only a few seconds. The two lovers parted slowly, and Sesshoumaru drew Kagome into his warm embrace with his head resting on her head. 'It's amazing how a cold male can make you feel so warm and safe.' Kagome thought happily to herself, as she returned his embrace lovingly. Little did they know, a pair of golden sad angry eyes were watching their every move.

"Ohayo gozaimatsu, Kagome-chan!!" a girl bundled up in a warm furry down jacket ran up to greet her best friend (can you guess who it is?^^).

"Ohayo, Sango-chan!!" Kagome greeted happily, trying to run to her friend in her long fuzzy coat that reached below her knees.

"Hello, Kagome-sama!! How are you feeling?" Miroku asked, concerned about what happened last time.

"I'm very happy Miroku-sama!! Arigato for asking!!" Kagome grinned madly.

Sango looked at Miroku knowingly. Her friend had just found out what happened with her boyfriend and her half sister last night, and she was acting as if she knew nothing of this.

"Err...Kagome-chan...not that you should or anything...but why are you so happy? I mean, shouldn't you be moping about Inuyasha? No offence or anything!" Sango widened her eyes, afraid that she had upset her friend, but Kagome took it lightly.

"Oh, him?! I'm WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over him, just to let you know!! I'm with-" Kagome was cut off as soon as she saw Inuyasha standing behind Miroku.

There was a pure look of sadness, regret, and confusion in his eyes. Kagome fell silent, and looked elsewhere searching for another white-haired, golden-eyed someone other than Inuyasha. She brightened up when she found him.

"Sesshoumaru!!" she called to him, and waved him over.

"Kagome." Sesshoumaru nodded with a look of coldness in his eyes, as he glared at Inuyasha with caution.

Kagome looked back and forth between the two brothers, trying to think of a way to start a conversation where insult-throwing would be avoided.

"So...did everyone study for the ano...test today?" Kagome asked nervously.

Each person in the group nodded their heads in unison except for Inuyasha.

"Oh, crap! I forgot!! Kuso!!" Inuyasha cursed.

"Well, that's because you couldn't stop flirting with your little whore." Sesshoumaru retorted.

"You...you and...that wench were kissing!! I saw you guys!!" Inuyasha was trying to think of a comeback, and that was the best he got, but it was the wrong comeback.

"How dare you!!" Kagome scolded with hurt and anger in her voice, "spying on me and Sesshoumaru like that!"

Tears began to make their way out of Kagome's eyes. 'God!' Kagome thought angrily, as she brushed the tears away, 'why do I have to be so sensitive?' Sesshoumaru looked dangerously at Inuyasha, and drew Kagome into his embrace so that he could whisper comforting words into her ears. Sango an Miroku both had shocked looks on their faces. Inuyasha looked bewildered and angry. He was the one that was supposed to put an arm around her...but then again...the incident with Kikyou shot into his mind. Inuyasha sighed, and turned around to walk away.

During these past few weeks, Inuyasha and Kagome had been avoiding each other constantly-even as science lab partners. Unless they had something really important to say to each other, they usually kept quiet until the end of class. With each passing day, Kagome became more and more attached to Sesshoumaru. Christmas holidays drew nearer, and so had the school 's formal dance. Sesshoumaru and Kagome were already going with each other. Luckily, Inuyasha wasn't alone. He could take outsiders to the dance. That meant that Kikyou could come (BOOOO!!).

Kagome stepped out of the bathroom at the last minute. Sesshoumaru and the gang was going to pick her up in five minutes, and she hadn't even put on her dress yet. She ran at Mach 1 speed to her room, and put on her gown at a Mach 3 speed. When Kagome was done, she looked over herself in the mirror, practicing her walking movements in her 4 inch heels. Her gown was a silvery blue halter top. It outlined the perfect curves of her waist, and everything was fluffy below the waist line. A thin white translucent material was draped around her waist, and all the way down to the floor. She then tied her hair into an elegant bun at the back of her head with a silvery blue ribbon, and pulled out two small wisps of her raven-coloured locks down on each side to shape her face. Admiring herself for a few moments, she applied some mascara and sparkly light blue eye shadow onto her eyes. She then put on a silvery blue lip gloss, and smacked her lips together. After patting her face with blush, she then looked back at the mirror to see how divine she looked.

DING DONG

"HE'S HERE!! AND HERE I AM GAWKING AT MYSELF LIKE AN IDIOT! EEK!! WHERE"S MY BAG!!" Kagome screeched, and jumped to her senses, hopping around her room to look for her purse.

Greetings and welcomes could be heard from below. That showed that her mom had already opened the door, and was now saying hello to Sesshoumaru. When she located her purse under the pile of dresses, she made sure that she had stashed it with makeup before leaving the room. Kagome took one more quick look in the mirror before opening the door of her room. She then made her way down the stairs, ogling at Sesshoumaru's white tuxedo. Sesshoumaru's jaw dropped open at the sight of Kagome. Could she ever look so elegant and arousing at the same time. The gown hugged every curve on the top part of her body, and the hem of her dress was draped over the stairway, as she walked down the stairs. Kagome blushed and fidgeted with the clasps of her purse, letting Sesshoumaru gawk at her.

"Well...shall we?" Sesshoumaru offered his arm to her, "the others are waiting for us in the limo."

Kagome nodded politely, and waved goodbye to her family. Her mother had tears in her eyes. 'My little girl has finally become a woman...' Mrs. Higurashi thought to herself, as she waved back to her daughter who once hated wearing dresses and girly clothes.

"WOW!! Kagome-chan!! Do you ever look so good!!" Sango commented on Kagome's dress, as she got into the limo.

"Hai, Kagome!! You look very elegant!" Miroku complimented.

"The same could be said of you too, Sango-chan! You look good too Miroku!" Kagome returned the compliments heartily.

Sango was wearing a light pink translucent spaghetti strap dress. She had sparkly light pink eye shadow and lip gloss. She also had her hair tied back into a loose ponytail. She had also pulled out some strips of her hair, and made them wavy. Miroku was wearing a dark violet tuxedo, and his hair was neatly combed into a little ponytail at the base of his head.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the school and went inside, arm in arm with their partners. The music was blasting through the gymnasium speakers. Kagome and Sesshoumaru stepped inside, and the crowd gasped with awe. Even Inuyasha was gawking at Kagome the whole time during his conversation with Kikyou. Kikyou narrowed her eyes dangerously, and turned around to see who Inuyasha focused his attention on. Kagome. 'Damn, that bitch!' Kikyou cursed in her mind. Kagome spotted Inuyasha with Kikyou, and walked over to him, heels were clicking madly across the gym floor.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said sweetly, "can I talk to you alone?"

"Uh...yeah...sure..." Inuyasha mumbled, avoiding Kikyou's piercing gaze.

He and Kagome walked to the other end of the gym away from Kikyou.

"Ano...remember what happened at the carnival? The fight with Kikyou that left her all bloodied and mangled?" Kagome laughed lightly.

"Hai." Inuyasha said nervously, not wanting her to find out about the part where he and Kikyou did 'whoopee.'

"Well...I was there to watch the whole thing between you and Kikyou..." Kagome said sorrowfully, looking at the floor.

Inuyasha looked up. Was she mad at him? Would she hit him? What would she do to him now?

"Kagome, I-" Inuyasha started, but Kagome held up her hand.

"You don't need to say it, Inuyasha. I know...I can't deny that I didn't feel crushed when I watched you guys kiss...but as they say it, forgive and forget. I can certainly forgive, but I can't forget..." Kagome said softly, nodding at Sesshoumaru for the signal.

Sesshoumaru then snapped his fingers at the DJ. The DJ nodded, and changed the song.

"Hey, minna! The next song is dedicated to the people who've had other people break their hearts. To show your forgiveness, ask them to dance. Alright, check this out."

(AN: Minna! Download that song by N*Sync coz it's really good! I know that they're old, but it's still good! Trust me people! I know which songs kick ass!! LOL!!)

"Inuyasha, would you like to dance?" Kagome tilted her head for his answer.

"Hai, Kagome." Inuyasha nodded, and followed her to the center of the gym floor.

The song, 'Don't Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You' by N*Sync started playing.

This is the time of year, that we learn to give
And the greatest gift is learning to forgive.
We will have the best that time we ever knew
If you forgive me and I forgive you

I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas without you

It's so hard to believe
We're staring at the end
When all we think about is starting up again
Whatever we lost, when we were apart
We'll find it all alone in the dark

I don't wanna light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas without you

There's nothing more that I want from you
Then to lie here together
And stay here forever with you
There's no one I ever knew
That I wanted to spend Christmas with, more than you....

I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas without you

I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas
I don't wanna spend one more Christmas without you...



YAY!!! I'm DONE THIS CHAP!! WOO HOO!! SO...HOW DIDJA GUYS LIKE IT?!
