Chapter 11
"I can't believe the dance is tomorrow!" Kagome exclaimed in that annoying way excited teenage girls do.
"I know!"
"I have my outfit all planned out."
"Already?"
"Yeah, don't you?"
"Not yet. I haven't been able to go shopping lately. I had to take care of Kohaku since he was sick."
"Oh. You _are_ going today, right?"
"Of course! What are you going to wear?"
"Well, I haven't shown you yet, but I went shopping yesterday and bought this strapless baby blue dress with little flowers at the bottom- it's so pretty~! Maybe you can come over today and check it out. Then we can go shopping together!"
"Cool!"
~~
"So... The dance is tomorrow, right?" Inu-Yasha said.
"Yeah." Miroku replied. "You wearing a tux?"
"Of course. Kagome would kill me if I didn't!"
"You... in a tux..." Miroku tried to stifle a giggle, but it came out like: "You -giggle- in a- a -giggle- a tux -giggle-"
"Shut up! You would look just as ridiculous!"
~~
"It's so pretty!!! Kagome, where'd you get it? It must have cost a fortune!"
"Not really. At the mall, they're having a sale. I'll show you!"
"Well, we better get going now, before it gets too late."
"Sango, it's 2:30!"
"But it takes forever to find the perfect dress!" She replied in her defense.
"Whatever; let's go!"
~~
"Sango, you tried on every dress in the store. Just pick one!" Kagome cried after 3 hours of looking for the 'perfect dress'. "Now I know why the guys hate shopping." She mumbled.
"I've narrowed it down to the black one with sparkles, the lavender one with the ribbon, and the blue one with the ruffles." Sango said. "Or maybe the blue one with the bow...that red one _is_ cute..."
"Sango. I've seen you in every one of them. You look nice in all of them- well, except for the black one with sparkles... Anyway, just pick one!"
"I don't look nice in the black one?" Sango asked playfully.
"Sango!"
"I'm kidding! I think I'll pick... this one!" Sango pointed to the pale lavender satin dress with a thin ribbon in the back. It went down to her ankles, but had a slit up the side that came to her knees. "I look nice, don't I?"
"Yeah, whatever, just pay for it and go."
"Pay...?"
"Yeah! It's not like we're going to steal it!"
"About that...I'm a little strapped for cash."
"What?! How were you going to buy the dress?"
"I didn't remember to bring my wallet...but you _do_ have that credit card..."
"Uh huh, no way! That's for emergencies!"
"Do you have a better idea? Because I can just look for another dress; one that'll cost less, and who knows how long that could take..."
"Oh, fine, but you'd better pay me back- and soon!"
"Don't worry. It's only $50, right?"
"Yeah, fine..."
"Oh, wait!!! We need shoes!!!"
"You're right! I can't believe I forgot about that!!!" After another ½ hour of looking for the perfect shoes, hair clips, etc. that would complete their ensemble, they finally left the store satisfied.
When they got to Kagome's house, they tried on their outfits, exactly the way they would look at the dance. They both looked remarkable. Kagome, in her baby blue dress, had bought a silk scarf, sparkly dark blue high heels, and an elegant (fake) silver hair ornament with which she used to keep her hair in a ponytail. Sango, in her previously described lavender dress really went crazy with the make-up, hair stuff, jewelry, and everything else, knowing Kagome was going to be paying for it. They looked at themselves in the full-length mirror to make sure they were perfect.
~~
"Students, as you know, the Spirit Week dance is today, and we obviously can't have you all dancing for 6 hours. So, you will be participating in a scavenger hunt until lunch, and after that, the dance will start. I suggest that you all change during lunch." Ms. Akemi said.
"Scavenger hunt?" Miroku said, disbelievingly.
"Yeah, before school, the staff hid certain items around campus and the 4- person team with the most items at the end of the hunt wins."
"It's a good thing the campus dried up from that storm two days ago."
Sango and Kagome were more worried about when and where to change into their dresses because they knew that every girl in the 9th grade would be rushing to the bathroom during lunch, and there were only 4 girls' bathrooms on campus.
Suddenly, a light bulb formed around Kagome's head. As soon as the class left the room, Kagome dashed to Inu-Yasha and put on her best sad face.
"Inu-Yasha? I have nowhere to change because the bathrooms will be too busy during lunch... Unless... unless we can change in your car."
"What car?!"
"Your family car..."
"That's not a family car; it's Sesshoumaru's car!"
"But you're related! Can't you get him to lend it to you for 5 minutes?"
"It's Sesshoumaru!"
"Please?"
"Nuh uh, no way!"
"Pretty please?"
"Oh, fine." Inu-Yasha sighed. "I'll see what I can do at lunch."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" Kagome said, showering him with kisses. Unfortunately, Hojo was only a few feet away.
"That jerk doesn't deserve her. I do." He mumbled.
~~
During the first quarter of the scavenger hunt, Keiko's team and Kagome's were tied with 6 items each. Keiko and her lackeys had this I-could-beat- you-blindfolded attitude, and Kagome was focused on nothing else except beating her.
Kagome was freaking everyone out. She would start yelling if they weren't doing something, i.e., when Miroku got tired of following Kagome's orders, he stopped to rest. She started to give him a lecture on the importance of beating Keiko.
Pretty soon, Kagome was 'winning' by a narrow lead. Finally, at the end of the scavenger hunt, Kagome was sweating. She was so anxious to find out who won. She bit her nails until they just looked like little stubs coming out the end of her fingers.
"And the winner is... this is strange. It's a tie! Wait, it's been counted wrong... Aha! It seems that the winners are Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango! In second place are Keiko, Erika, Chikako, and Miyabi! In third place..."
Kagome squealed in delight. "I finally beat her!!!!!!!!"
Sango winked. "Congrats, Kagome-chan!"
All throughout lunch, Kagome couldn't stop grinning like an idiot. Finally, she saw the horde of people rushing to the bathrooms and reminded Inu-Yasha of their agreement. Kagome and a reluctant Inu-Yasha made their way to the senior tables. Kagome spotted Sesshoumaru's silver-white hair. "There he is! Go on!"
"Ok, ok!" Inu-Yasha turned to Sesshoumaru. "Hey, I need the car keys for a sec!" he said gruffly.
"What for?" he retorted.
"I left something in there." Sesshoumaru eyed him suspiciously, and came to the conclusion that the less time he spent with his pathetic half-brother the better.
"Fine, but don't mess anything up!" he said as he tossed the keys to Inu- Yasha.
~~
Kagome and Sango uncomfortably changed into their dresses and fixed each other's hair. At last, the girls finished changing and the guys got into their tuxes. Just as Inu-Yasha finished changing, the bell rang. He slipped on his engraved ring and tossed the car keys to Sesshoumaru, who was walking in their direction.
"Lets go!" Kagome said.
