The Prom
Chapter Nine
Inu-Yasha's choice
Lst Time:
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.
*********************************************************************
Kagome stared at Hojo with wide eyes and pushed him back. "Hojo! What the hell do
you think you're . . ." She froze and stared passed Hojo. Inu-Yasha was standing near by,
and he was staring at Kagome with hurt and pain in his eyes. "Inu-Yasha . . ."
Before she could explain herself, Inu-Yasha took off and headed towards the door.
Kagome grabbed her coat, pushed Hojo out of the way, and took off after Inu- Yasha.
Inu-Yasha walked quickly out of the resturaunt and into the streets. He would have
used his demon speed and raced back to the shrine, but he didn't want to draw attention
to himself.
"Inu-Yasha! Inua-Yasha wait! Please!" cried Kagome.
Inu-Yasha ignored her. She was probably going to tell him she changed her mind and
wanted to go with Hojo to her prom instead of a worthless half demon like him. He
walked faster, for the pain in his heart was so great, that for the first time in his life since
his mother died, he wanted to cry. He had lost the woman he loved with all his heart, and
now he felt dead inside, like nothing was worth living for now. Inu-Yasha suddenly felt
someone grab his shoulder. He turned around and growled slightly, only to meet the eyes
of a scared Kagome.
"Inu-Yasha please let me explain, I . . ."
"Kagome I'm not blind! I saw you kiss Hobo, or Hoho, or what ever his name is! How
can you face me as if nothing happpened? I knew you never wanted to go with a
wothless half breed like me,"
Kagome didn't really know what to say, she had lost the ability to speak. Inu-Yasha just
stared at her with sorrow and pain in his eyes. He turned and started to disappear into the
streets.
"I still want you for my date for the prom!" called Kagome.
Inu-Yasha stopped for a breif moment to reply, "I'll think about it," and with that he
disappeared.
Kagome fell to her knees and she started to cry. She didn't care if people were staring at
her, Kagome had just blown her chance to ever tell Inu-Yasha that she loved him.
"Kagome!"
Kagome didn't even look up as Hojo knelt beside her and tried to bring Kagome to her
feet. "Look, why don't we go back to the resturaunt and you can tell me all about it,"
She glared at Hojo the way she had last glared at Naraku and she did something she had
never done before.
SLAP!
Hojo staggered back a little, his hand on his face and he was staring with wide eyes at
Kagome. "What . . ."
"This is all your fault! You knew I was there with my date for the prom and yet you still
kissed me! What the hell is the matter with you! Inu-Yasha may not look it, but he can
be a sensitive guy, you jerk!" Kagome practically screamed this at Hojo as she stormed
home, praying to god that Inu-Yasha would be there.
Kagome ran as fast as she could up the shrine stairs to house. The sun was slowly just
disappearing over the horizon as she ran across the shrine grounds into her house. Not
even bothering to take her shoes off she ran to her room, and noticed that no one was
home. As she opened her door she noticed that no one was in it. Inu- Yasha's tuxedo lay
on her bed, and she noticed that his bag and old clothes were gone. Kagome walked over
to her bed, laid down, and started to cry. She felt so bad, and hoped that Inu-Yasha
would forgive and come back to her era. Kagome knew he must have gone back to his
own time, and would stay there until he would come back to talk to her, that is if he ever
did.
Four days passed since that night, and Kagome still had not heard from Inu-Yasha. She
had lied to her mom, and said that Inu-Yasha was feeling a little home sick and would be
back before the prom.
Kagome walked to school Wednseday by herself. She had been avoiding Hojo the past
few days, and she didn't care what her friends told her to do, she refused to talk to him or
apologize. As she walked through the school doors she was greeted by her friends, but
told them to leave her alone for today. Kagome couldn't concentrate at all through any of
her classes, it was if she didn't care anymore. It was almost like the time she had seen
Inu-Yasha with Kikyo, the day he had choosen her and yet she told him she would stay by
her side. Inu-Yasha only saw her as a friend and shard detector.
When the day was over Kagome went straight home to do her home work and hope that
Inu-Yasha was there when she hot home. Friday was the day of the prom, and today was
Wednseday.
Inu-Yasha stared at the tree tops surrounding him in his forest. He was sitting in the god
tree and had been there for the past three days. All he had been thinking about was
Kagome.
"Why? Why didn't I just go to hell with Kikyo that night?" screamed Inu- Yasha so the
whole world could hear. He stared at the locket in his hand and slowly rubbed it with his
finger. He had planned to give it Kagome if she had accepted his love in return the night
of the prom. Flipping it over he stared at the words he had engraved on the back, and felt
tears well in his eyes. He tried to hold them back, but he couldn't. One tear after another
fell freely from his face. He placed the locket in his pocket and stared at the sky.
"What am I going to do?" Inu-Yasha mumbled to himself. He didn't think he could ever
face Kagome again. Inu-Yasha was about to go find Kikyo, but stopped. This was
almost like the time Kagome had seen him and Kikyo together, and she had returned to
her world. Yet she had returned and promised to stay by his side forever. Was he going
to be a coward or go back to Kagome and still confess his love to her. Then a thought
crossed Inu-Yasha's mind. Maybe, just maybe, that Hojo kid kissed Kagome forcefully
like Kouga had done. At the resturaunt he hadn't been able to see Kagome that well, and
she did look pretty mad when they had parted.
Inu-Yasha stared at the setting sun and started to remember all the times he had been with
Kagome. She had always cried for him if he was injured or on the brink of death. There
were so many times she had been in danger and he was so scared she was about to die.
The time that scared him the most was with the encounter of the peach man. She had
always excepted him for who he was. Unlike Kikyo who wanted him to turn human,
Kagome had liked him in all his forms, half demon, human, and full demon. She never
asked him to change for her, and she had always respected his once wish to become a full
demon.
Inu-Yasha stood up, and stared at the direction at the well. He would go back and
apologize to Kagome for being such a jerk.
"I love you Kagome. . . for all eternity," whispered Inu-Yasha.
Leaping down he grabbed his bag and headed towards the well, just as the sun had
disappeared behind the horizon.
