Chapter Five: The Dance

Kagome was happier than ever! 'He asked me, I don't believe it!' Kagome thought once she was home from school that day. She was unexplainably happy. 'Oh no! I don't have anything to wear! I'll have to go shopping.' she thought. It was Thursday, so she really had to get moving. (A/N: I'm not going into detail on the shopping trip, since this chapter is supposed to be about the dance. I hope that's okay with you all!)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The next day at school the "Morning Note" (which Kagome and Inuhanone had come to so affectionately call it) was passed.

Hey, what's new? (I thought I'd chang from "what's up?" since it kinda gets... I dunno... tired after a while. anyway, what did you do yesterday after school?

Inuhanone

Hi! Went shopping for my dress for the dance... didn't have any good ones to wear. What did you do?

Kagome

Not much, just hung around the house. There wasn't a whole lot to do... it was kinda boring... So what color is your dress?

Inuhanone

It's navy blue... why?

Kagome.

I just wanna make sure I don't wear any thing that'll clash with your dress... I do know how girls are about that, after all... lol

Inuhanone

Oh really? So you know about girls, do ya? Well, we'll see about that!

Kagome

Yeah, I know about girls... Uh-Oh, class is fixing to start, we'd better put the note away before we get caught. See ya at lunch!

Inuhanone

Kagome took the note, read it, put it away, and nodded at Inuhanone. Little did she know, though, that the real reason he wanted to know the color of her dress was so he would know what kind of corsage to get her. 'Hmmm.... I wonder what kind of corsage I should get her. Wait! I got it! White roses! That would be really pretty with her navy blue dress.' Inuhanone was glad that he had finally decided. He had been brooding over it since he first asked Kagome to go with him to the dance. He really wasn't sure whether to get a wrist or pin corsage. 'If she wears gloves, the wrist one won't look right. If she wears a strapped dress, the PIN one won't look right. What am I gonna do? Wait! I'll just buy one of each, and what ever she wears, I'll give her the one that looks the best!' Inuhanone was ecstatic. He was on a roll today!

Meanwhile, Kagome was in the same state as Inuhanone, and was growing even more excited with every passing minute. 'I just can't wait untill tonight!' she thought in anticipation. When would school be over?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As Inuhanone pulled up to Kagome's house at six, he was beginning to get nervous. He stepped out of the car and walked up to the door. He knocked and waited for it to be answered.

Finally the door opened and Kagome's grandpa stood there. He firmly shook Inuhanone's hand while saying, "Come in, come in. I'll call Kagome." With that, he stepped over to the stairs from where he previously stood in front of them a ways away. He proceeded to call up them, "Kagome! Your date's here!"

"I'll be down in a minute!" She called back down to her grandfather. "Well, this is it!" She told herself, taking one last look in the mirror. When she was satisfied, she left the room and headed downstairs.

'Okay, pin right, wrist left. I got it." He was suddenly snapped back to attention when he saw Kagome descending the staircase. "Wow." was all he could get out. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. Her dress had straps that fasten at the back of her neck, looking somewhat like a bathing suit with wider straps. The skirt was pleated (A/N:Much like the skirts to the school uniforms on YuYu hakusho if you watch it.) and came down just below her knee.

"Thanks. You look really nice yourself." She replied. She could see that he was wearing a navy blue tank top and baggy dark colored denim jeans. 'Wow, and that tank top really shows off his muscles. He's built!' She thought and a small blush crept up on her cheeks.

"Thanks. Oh! I got something for you." He paused as he reached into the left pocket of his jeans and pulled out a small clear plastic box. (A/N: Let's just say that the pockets on his jeans are really big.) "Here. It's a corsage." He said as he slipped it on her wrist.

"Wow, I don't know what to say... It's beautiful! Thanks Inuhanone." She gave him a small hug. They were both blushing when she pulled away.

"Your welcome. C'mon, let's go." She took his arm and they walked outside. Kagome's breath was taken when she saw what he was driving. It was a gold colored Lexus. Once they were at the car, he opened the door for her. She stepped in and he closed the door. He then stepped into the car on his side, turned the ignition, and drove off.

After a few minutes of driving they arrived at Ponderosa. "Wow! I love Ponderosa! How did you know?"

"I didn't. I like it just as much as you do. It's my favorite restaurant."

"Well, at least we know we have something in common!" Kagome said with a laugh, really relieved that they hadn't gon to a fast food place.

"Let's go in. I figured this would be better than a fast food restaurant. Also, they have a really good buffet. I thought we'd order that since we don't have a whole lot of time." He was really glad Kagome liked Ponderosa.

"Sounds good to me." She said, just as they arrived at the door. 'So this is his favorite restaurant, too...' She was brought out of her thoughts as she heard Inuhanone ordering.

"Two buffets, please," He turned to Kagome, "What do you want to drink, Kagome?" he asked her.

"Sweet tea, please." She answered without hesitation.

"And I'll have a Pepsi, please." Inuhanone added.

"Okay, two buffets, a sweet tea, and a coke. Will that be all for you?" The clerk asked.

"Yes, thank you." Inuhonone replied. With that, he picked up their tray and drinks and began to move down the line. He first got Kagome's tea, then his pepsi. Then he payed and allowed to lead them to thier booth.

After they had finished eating, they headed off for the dance.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At the dance, the courtyard was decorated beautifully. The sakura (cherry) blossoms on the trees showed that it was truly spring. They walked to a table and sat down. Not a whole lot of people were dancing, so they decided to wait. Not only that, there wasn't a good song playing.

Finally, a good song started playing, and they walked out onto the dance floor. Kagome began singing...

"Chill out, whatcha yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before And if, you could only let it be You will see...

I like, you the way you are When we're drivin' in your car And you're, talkin' to me one on one But you become...

Somebody else, 'round everyone else Watchin' your back, like you can't relax Tryin' to be cool, you look like a fool to me...

Tell me...

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated I see the way you're, actin' like you're somebody else gets me frustrated Life's like this, you You fall, and you crawl, and you break and you take what you get And you turn it into Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it No, no, no..."

As she continued to sing and dance, Inuhanone was absolutely amazed, 'Wow, she sings and dances so wonderfully. I'm so glad I asked her to come here with me...' He let his thoughts trail off and continued to watch and listen to Kagome.

The evening passed, too quickly in Kagome and Inuhanone's opinion, and soon it was time for the last dance of the evening. "Alright guys, grab your girls and get out on the dance floor! This is the last song for the evening." The dj announced. So, the guys all led their dates onto the dance floor.

The music started playing, and the song was...yep, you guessed it... "At the Beginning" (A/N: I just HAD to put it in here! It's my favorite song EVER!)

Inuhone took Kagome into his arms and they began to dance. But Kagome just couldn't go without singing this song, "We were strangers, starting out on a journey. Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through. Now here we are, and I'm suddenly standin' at the beginning with you..."

"Noone told me, I was goin' to find you. Unexpected what you did to my heart." Kagome was caught off gaurd when she heard Inuhanone singing as well, but continued to sing anyway, enjoying the sound of his voice.

"When I lost hope, you were there to remind me, this is the start..." Kagome and Inuhanone both were totally into the song by the time the chorus came around. There was nothing but them and the music. "And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'. Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'. Life is a road, now and forever wonderful journey. I'll be there when the world stops turning. I'll be there when the storm is through. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you..."

"We were strangers, on a crazy adventure." Kagome sang. Then Inuhanone picked up the vocals.

"Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true."

"Now here we stand, unafraid of the future. At the beginning with you..." Now there was just no stopping them. They were singing louder than they thought, and the whole crowd had stopped to watch and listen. "And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'. Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'. Life is a road, now and forever wonderful journey. I'll be there when the world stops turning. I'll be there when the storm is through. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you..." They didn't even notice the silence and stillness of the crowd around them. They just continued to sing, thoroughly enjoying the song, and the feeling of being in eachother's arms, "I knew there was somebody somewhere. Like me alone in the dark. Now I know the dream will live on. I've been waiting so long. Nothin's gonna tear us apart..."

They now broke off into parts. Kagome was singing over him, "Love__________"

While he sang, "Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'. Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'."

They joined back together, "Life is a road, now and forever wonderful journey. I'll be there when the world stops turning. I'll be there when the storm is through. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you..."

Inuhanone took this as his moment to shine, "Heey..."

They were now back together, "Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'. Love is a river I wanna keep goin' on..."

"Starting out on a journey..." Kagome took her solo with pride.

Back together, they sang, "Life is a road and I wanna keep goin' Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning... With you..."

"Hmm..." Kagome got the last word in the song. By this time, they were staring into eachother's eyes. Inuhanone took her chin in his hand, and as the last notes of the music played, kissed her gently yet passionately. They were brought back to reality at the sound of clapping and cheering. They opened their eyes to see the crowd.

"Just smile and bow." Inuhanone told Kagome through the side of his mouth after taking her hand and moving to her side. So, hands clasped, they bowed for the crowd.

Neko Kijo was standing at the front of the crowd, clapping and cheering loudest of all. She looked over to J.D, "Well, I guess it worked."

"Yeah, but wait, they didn't confess yet." He replied. She lightly cuffed him on the back of the head.

"Baka yarou! They kissed! That's just as good!" She got a sort of evil smirk on her face. "So now, it's time for your reward." She grabbed hold of his hand, "Come on, we're leaving." with that, they left the school...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A/N: Well, that's it! I hope you liked it! If I get enough reviews (about 7 or so) I'll continue this story. If not, this is the last chapter. You'll just have to use your own imagination on what J.D.'s reward was...

Okay, well for now, Ja!
