The Prom
Chapter Eight
The Dinner
Kagome and Inu-Yasha walked up the shrine stairs at a slow pace. They weren't able to
call a taxi so they had to walk home. Inu-Yasha was especially tired from carrying both
Kagome and the bags. When they had reached the shrine, Kagome had gotten off Inu-
Yasha's back and had offered to carry her bags, but he said that he would.
When they reached the top they immedialty went to the house, and to their surprise no
one was home. They set their stuff in Kagome's room and headed back down stairs since
a certain half demon wanted some Ramen.
"So what are we doing tonight?" asked Inu-Yasha, as he waited for the noodles to cook.
"Well, we could stay home, or we could go that restaurant I was telling you about,"
"Could we at least take a rest? I say we took the long way home,"
"I'm sorry Inu-Yasha, but I didn't want everyone in the city to see you,"
"Feh,"
"We won't be going to this restaurant until later, so after you eat, you can take a nap or
something,"
"Okay,"
Kagome set the Ramen infront of Inu-Yasha at the table while she went to the living to
see what movie she could watch. In less then two seconds Inu-Yasha was done and
joined Kagome in the living room. "What you doing?"
"Do you want to watch a movie with me?"
"Sure I guess," Inu-Yasha said as he plopped down on the couch.
Kagome opened a cupboard under the tv and looked at her selection. Let's see, The
Mask, DragonHeart, Star Wars, Ben Hur, Ranma ½, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings . . .
man there is so much to choose from, thought Kagome. "What do you want to watch?"
"Why you asking me? I have no idea," said Inu-Yasha.
"Well I mean to you want to watch a romance? An action? Comedy?"
"Um, well I have no idea what you're talking about?"
"Well, how about I play one that's really boring so you can take a nap?"
"Sure,"
With that decided she grabbed Titanic.
(Sorry to all you Titanic lovers, but every time I watch that movie I fall asleep!)
Popping it into the VCR and pushing PLAY she sat down beside Inu-Yasha.
"Kagome?"
"Yes?"
"Would you mind if I laid down?"
"No not at all,"
"And could I borrow your lap for a pillow?"
Kagome nodded and blushed at the same time. It was just like the time when she had
seen him first turn human. Inu-Yasha laid down and rested his head on her lap. His left
arm was at his side, while his right rested on Kagome's legs. As the movie started
Kagome started to comb her fingers through Inu-Yasha's long strands of white hair. Inu-
Yasha took in a deep breath and unknown to him, his hand started to rub Kagome's shin.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of being near her like this. He loved how
her hands softly played with his hair, and wasn't even paying attention to the movie.
Kagome then started to play with his ears as she rubbed them softly between her fingers.
Inu-Yasha was doing everything in his power to keep himself under control, but the way
she was rubbing his ears, he couldn't. Kagome was startled when all of a sudden she
heard him purring.
"Feels so good," he muttered.
Kagome smiled and brought her other hand up from playing with his hair to his other
ear which made Inu-Yasha purr even louder. As she rubbed his ears, Kagome started to
watch the tv.
An hour later the Inu-Yasha had fallen asleep on Kagome's lap and she was still
watching the movie. Kagome watched as Jack and Rose were dancing below and
wondered what it would be like to love someone that your parents didn't allow you to
love. She stared down at Inu-Yasha who was sleeping peacefully. Taking her finger she
started to trace his face. Kagome leaned her head against the couch, turned the tv off,
and closed her eyes as she let sleep overcome her.
Mrs. Higurashi walked into the house and glanced at the clock. It was now 5:00 p.m.
and she headed into the kitchen to start supper. She walked by the living room door and
stopped. Kagome was in a sitting position with Inu-Yasha lying down and using her lap
for a pillow and they were both asleep. She tip toed her way over to the couch and
slowly shook Kagome.
"Yawn! Oh . . . hi mom. What time is it?" asked Kagome as she started to wake up.
"About five. I just wanted to ask you if you were eating here or going to that restaurant
tonight?"
"I think we'll go tonight,"
"What are you going to do about Inu-Yasha and his ears?"
"That's a good question, I'm not sure,"
"Well I bought this whit head band to pin his ears back,"
"Thanks mom, your the best,"
A low groan caused them to look down as Inu-Yasha slowly opened his eyes. "Oh,
where am I?" he moaned.
Kagome giggled and so did her mom. "Right where you were before you fell asleep,"
Inu-Yasha sat up on his knees, and stretched his arms as he yawned.
"Well Inu-Yasha, we'd better go if we want to get a good seat at that restaurant,"
Inu-Yasha nodded as he got to his feet and extended a hand to help Kagome up.
"Kagome you can where my dinner dress if you like, and Inu-Yasha you can wear your
tuxedo we got you today," said Mrs. Higurashi.
"Okay mom, " said Kagome as she led Inu-Yasha up the stairs. She grabbed his tuxedo
off her bed and handed it to him. "You put that on and I'll get you some shoes to wear
form my mom's closet. I'll see if my dad's will fit you,"
Kagome walked out of the room and Inu-Yasha began to change. That was the first time
she had even mentioned her dad before, thought Inu-Yasha as he pulled his shorts off and
pulled his pants on. There was a knock at the door as it opened slightly, "Here are your
shoes. I'll just drop them here."
Inu-Yasha watched as Kagome's hand appeared and dropped a pair of black leather
shoes at the door.
"I'll meet you down stairs when your done dressing ok?"
"Kagome, what are we going to do with my ears?"
"Mom bought something so we can hide them,"
"Oh okay,"
Inu-Yasha waited in the dinning room as he watched Mrs. Higurashi cooking dinner for
the rest of the family. He was dressed in his black tuxedo which suited him very nicely.
The black shoes had fit him perfectly, and Mrs. Higurashi had managed to cover his ears
with something called a head band so he wouldn't have to wear that ridiculous red hat.
"So how do you like it here Inu-Yasha?"
Inu-Yasha looked up from the table to meet Kagome's mom's eyes. "It's alright here I
guess. The food here is good, but it kind of smells . . . um . . . I don't know really how to
explain it, but in my time the air smells fresh and clean,"
"Oh I see what you mean, so are you going to be staying here after the prom?"
"I . . . don't know," whispered Inu-Yasha.
"I'm ready!"
Inu-Yasha turned his head and gasped. Kagome was wearing a silk blue dress with no
straps and had her hair up in a bun. She was wearing a diamond necklace and bracelet,
along with navy blue high heels.
"Shall we go then?"
Inu-Yasha nodded and escorted her to the door.
"Don't stay out too late you two!" called Mrs. Higurashi.
"We won't mom," said Kagome as she pulled on her long leather coat which she wore
for special occasions. "See Ya!"
They closed the door and headed towards the stairs that lead into the streets.
"So, how was your nap?" asked Kagome.
"Very nice,"
She stared at Inu-Yasha with a confused look. Why is he being so nice? Shouldn't her
be calling me names and being rude, thought Kagome. "Inu-Yasha?"
"Yes?"
"Why . . . why are you being nice all of a sudden? I mean, usually you yell at me, an
call me names. Why the change?"
Inu-Yasha thought for a moment. It was true he was acting different since Miroku and
Sango weren't there, and he didn't really have to hide his feelings for Kagome. He only
called her names and acted rude to hide his true feelings so they wouldn't suspect
anything. "I don't know,"
Kagome nodded as they started to walk down the stairs towards the busy streets. The
sun was just barely being seen over the horizon and a light breeze was blowing. As
Kagome and Inu-Yasha walked through the busy streets, Inu-Yasha noticed a man ahead
of them had his arm out and the woman beside him had her arm through his. He glanced
at Kagome and moved his arm out. Kagome looked down at Inu-Yasha's arm and then at
his face. Getting the message she put her arm through his, which made Inu- Yasha start to
blush like crazy.
When they reached the restaurant it was already pretty full, however they managed to
get a seat. As the waitress lead them to their table, Inu-Yasha saw someone take a
women's coat and pull a chair out for her. When they were shown their table Inu-Yasha
grabbed Kagome's coat which surprised her quite a bit, but she was even more surprised
when he pulled out a chair for her. Kagome smiled at him as she sat down which made
Inu-Yasha smile back. As he took his seat the waiter came back. "Now what can I get you
two to drink tonight?"
"I'll have a water please," said Kagome.
Not knowing what to say Inu-Yasha said, "Me too,"
The waiter nodded and disappeared.
The two sat in silence for a few minutes, not really knowing what to say to each other.
They had been placed by a window in the corner of the restaurant. The table was small
and rounded and had two candles lit in the middle.
"So, what do you plan do to since the jewel is complete?" asked Kagome.
"Well . . . I was . . . . I'm . . . I'm not really sure," whispered Inu- Yasha.
"I thought you wanted to turn into a full demon,"
"I did, but . . . . not anymore,"
"How come?"
Inu-Yasha stared into her eyes. Gods she so beautiful! he thought, I just want to get up
and kiss her. "You know how I act when my demon blood takes over me. I'm just afraid
that . . . if I were to become like that . . . with the jewel . . . I would kill Sango, Miroku,
Shippo . . . and . . . you,"
Kagome was about to reply, but the waiter had returned with their water. The waiter
then handed their menu's and left again. Inu-Yasha stared at the menu, and had no idea
what he was supposed to do.
"So, what do you want to have Inu-Yasha?"
"I don't know, I have no idea what all these are,"
"Well, look at each one and it tells what's in it,"
Inu-Yasha scrolled down the menu, reading everyone of the categories. "They sure do
have a lot,"
"Yes, this restaurant serves everything. Italian, Greek, Chinese, and any kind of food
you could imagine,"
"Um, would you mind if I tried the Seesar saelaid?"
"Cesar Salad?: asked Kagome?"
"Yeah, you once gave that to me when you brought food for us,"
"Sure, I guess. But don't you want anything else? My mom did give us enough money
to feed ten people,"
"Well, do they have anything with noodles or something close to Ramen?"
"Do you want to try spaghetti? It's made of a type of noodles,"
"Sure,"
"Okay then, I' guess I'll have some shrimp since it's been ages since I've had some. And
do we want some garlic bread for an appetizer? It's very good,"
Inu-Yasha nodded his head. The waiter came a moment later, "So what will you have?"
Kagome glanced a Inu-Yasha to tell him she would order for them, "We'll have a small
order of garlic bread for an appetizer. Then I'll be having your Italian covered shrimp,"
"What will you have with that? Side of soup or Greek salad?"
"Salad, with ranch dressing. They he will have your family sized Cesar Salad, and
Spaghetti,"
"Do you want sauce and Parmesan cheese with that?"
Inu-Yasha looked at Kagome and then back to the waiter, "Sure . . . I guess,"
The waiter scribbled it down and then asked, "Anything else?"
"For now no,"
The waiter grabbed their menu's and disappeared.
"Um . . . thank you for bringing me here," said Inu-Yasha.
"No problem." After a moments pause Kagome decided to ask Inu-Yasha something
she was curious about. "Why did you push me down the well?"
"Pardon?"
"Three years ago, when Sesshoumaru put his hand through your stomach, you hugged
me and took the jewel. Then you pushed me down the well . . . why did you do that?"
Inu-Yasha stared into Kagome's eyes, trying to find the words to tell her. "I . . . I didn't .
. . with the appearance of Naraku, and the danger . . . I didn't want to see you get hurt, so
I took the jewel and sent you to your time to protect you,"
"So you just hugged me to get the jewel?"
Inu-Yasha reached his clawed hands forward and took Kagome's into his. "No . . . I
hugged you because I was so scared of losing you when Sesshoumaru almost killed you
with the Tetsusaiga," Inu-Yasha leaned forward . . . his face was inches from Kagome's.
"I would never do something that cruel to you,"
Kagome felt like she was in a dream, Inu-Yasha's face was so close to hers, that if she
leaned forward their lips would touch. Then something snapped her back to reality, the
way Inu-Yasha was looking at her, he had looked at Kikyo in the same way. Kagome
looked away for a moment, not wanting to look in Inu-Yasha's eyes.
Did I do something wrong? thought Inu-Yasha.
"Um, thank you for telling me that Inu-Yasha," whispered Kagome as she released his
hands from hers. She was still not looking at him.
Inu-Yasha could tell there was a hint of hurt in her voice and wanted to ask what was
wrong, but decided maybe she needed a few minutes alone. "Um, could you tell me
where the washroom is?"
"Over there," pointed Kagome.
Inu-Yasha got up from his seat and headed in the direction Kagome had pointed him to.
Kagome felt like she was going to cry. After all she had done fore him, he still saw her
as Kikyo and nothing more. Why? Why didn't she just agree to go with Hojo, and didn't
have some dream that Inu-Yasha would at least have some feelings for her. Kagome
brought a hand to her cheek which was still burning when she had been blushing like
crazy when Inu-Yasha's face was so close to hers. He had held her hands so gentle, and
the way he had spoken to her made her feel all warm inside.
"Hi Kagome,"
Kagome looked up to see Hojo walking towards her. "Oh, hi Hojo,"
"Are you here all alone?" asked Hojo. He was wearing a black tuxedo like Inu-Yasha,
and had a rose pinned to his jacket on the left side.
"No, I'm here with my date for the prom, and you?"
"I'm with my parents. So is your date that two timing, jealous, violent boyfriend your
friends have been talking about?"
"Yeah I guess,"
Hojo stood beside Kagome and knelt down so that he was eye level with her. "You
know, I don't have a date, so anytime at the prom if her hurts you or anything . . . I'll be
there for you, okay?"
Kagome nodded and was expecting him to leave, but Hojo leaned forward and kissed
her.
Just at that moment, Inu-Yasha walked out of the washroom, and to his horror saw
Kagome kissing Hobo.
"Kagome . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha.
TBC . . .
Oh yeah I'm evil! Man what a cliff hanger eh? so tell me what you think I'll continue on.
Don't worry to some of you reviewers the Prom will come in a few more chapters. We
just have to deal with this situation now!

"Are you here all alone?" asked Hojo. He was wearing a black tuxedo like Inu-Yasha,
and had a rose pinned to his jacket on the left side.
"No, I'm here with my date for the prom, and you?"
"I'm with my parents. So is your date that two timing, jealous, violent boyfriend your
friends have been talking about?"
"Yeah I guess,"
Hojo stood beside Kagome and knelt down so that he was eye level with her. "You
know, I don't have a date, so anytime at the prom if her hurts you or anything . . . I'll be
there for you, okay?"
Kagome nodded and was expecting him to leave, but Hojo leaned forward and kissed
her.
Just at that moment, Inu-Yasha walked out of the washroom, and to his horror saw
Kagome kissing Hobo.
"Kagome . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha.
TBC . . .
Oh yeah I'm evil! Man what a cliff hanger eh? so tell me what you think I'll continue on.
Don't worry to some of you reviewers the Prom will come in a few more chapters. We
just have to deal with this situation now!
