CHAPTER 3

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

---recap from last chapter.....---

'Why did Inu Yasha apologize so nicely to me today? He said he was aggrivated towards everyone, but why not towards me? Does he..' Kagome approached her house, got slapped in the face by realization, and blushed.

'could he....possibly like me back?!!'

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Kagome kicked off her shoes near the rug in foyer as she entered her house. As usual, no one was home. Jii-chan was probably 'exercizing' some evil spirit somewhere downtown; Mama was probably out grocery shopping, and Souta was at his soccer game. She liked the silence that filled each of the rooms in her house. It was so nice compared to the loud hustle and bustle in the hallways at school. Kagome turned on the TV in the kitchen and grabbed a soda out of the fridge as she set her backpack and other school things on the kitchen table.

'Ah, now to go get my dress on, and gather up my make up to take over to Sango-chan's.' Kagome thought while heading upstairs to her room. She entered her room, flicked the light on, took a sip of her soda and set it down on her dresser.

'Hm....should i wear my black dress? no...that'll make it look like i was just at a funeral. Red mini-skirt? nah, too skimpy. Ah! Here we are! My light blue sundress!' Kagome thought. She quickly undressed and slipped into her blue sundress. 'Eeep! I only have 20 minutes 'till I have to be at Sango-chan's!' Kagome grabbed her little blue purse and put a few random bottles of nailpolish in it, some eyeshadow, eyeliner, and other assorted make up accessories. She quickly threw her hair up in a ponytail and decided on a pair of black strapped heels.

"Whoops, can't forget my lipgloss, either." Kagome said quietly as she flicked off the light in her room, remembering to bring her soda with her as well.

Kagome went into the kitchen taking a quick glance at the TV. The news was on, talking about some car accident on the other side of town. She went to the fridge, and got out a piece of her little brother's left over birthday cake. She ate it as fast as she could, keeping an eye on the clock.

A couple of minutes later, she wrote a note explaining that she was going to be at Sango's and then the school dance, and left it on the kitchen counter for her mother to see when she came home.

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

*DINGDONG* rang Sango's doorbell. Kagome pulled a piece of hair behind her hair, and greeted her friend as she answered the door.

"Ah! Kagome-chan! Come on in! We can go get ready for the dance upstairs." Sango said with a rather cheerful voice. Kagome followed Sango upstairs to Sango's rather tidy bedroom. She set her purse on top of the bed, and put her coat on the coathanger on the back of the door. Sango was already busy putting on her usual pink eyeshadow.

"So, Sango-chan, are you excited for the dance? Are you planning to dance with anyone?" Kagome began.

"Ah, i'm excited. But i have this severely odd feeling that Miroku's going to ask me or something, he's been acting quite strange for the past 2 days towards me."

"Besides the groping?"

"Yeah, i can't explain it. It's just weird...he says 'Hi' more to me in the hallways, and is always giving me this weird look..I can't explain it all in words, you'd have to see it for yourself."

"Oh, I see. Sango, do you think I should wear light blue, or silver eyeshadow?"

"Since when do you ever wear eyeshadow, Kagome-chan?" Sango replied questioningly.

"Well..I just thought i'd look a bit more nice for the dance than i normally do. I dunno.." Kagome trailed off.

"Hm....is it because you want to look 'nice' for someone?" Sango smirked.

*Blush*"N..No...why would i anyways?" Kagome instantly thought of Inu Yasha. She took out the makeshift ponytail in her hair from earlier and began brushing out all of the tangles.

"Oh; just wondering." Sango replied.

"Sango...do you really think I...I should ask a guy to dance this time?" Kagome began twirling her hair nervously.

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

"So, Inu Yasha, you gonna dance with Kikyo tonight?"

"NO! For the last god damn time Miroku, No, I am NOT going to dance with that bitch! Jeez!!" shouted Inu Yasha. "Well then, who are YOU planning to dance with, Mr. I-so-have-a-crush-on-Sango!"

"N...nani?! Inu Yasha, I'm not going to deny it, but yes, I do have a liking for Sango. Well, I am debating on whether or not to ask her yet...."

"Aw, come on Miroku, you're no fun!"

"Oh, and why's that?"

"Because now I can't bug you about liking Sango anymore.....damnit."

"You know, Inu Yasha, If you don't have anyone to dance with, Kagome-sama hasn't ever been asked to dance; and I was opting that you would go and ask her perhaps?"

"Kagome?! Her?!!" Inu Yasha blushed at the mention of her name, scowled while he tryed thinking of a good comeback. He hated to admit it, but he did sort of like Kagome, even though he only met her a few times.

'She was nice, she could pick a good argument, and she's really pretty- Whoa whoa hold the phone! Where the hell did that come from!?! Did..did i just say she was pretty? Well....she's a lot prettier than Kikyo will ever be; so..' Inu Yasha got lost deep in thoughts about Kagome.

"Hey, Inu Yasha! Uh, Inu Yasha....you Ok?" Miroku asked as he waved his hand in front of his friend's face.

"Huh..oh....what?"

"Inu Yasha, It's time to get going to the dance. You all ready?" said Miroku.

"Yeah, I guess so, let's get going then." Inu Yasha muttered as they both started out the front door and began to walk up to the school.

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

"I don't know, Kagome-chan, It's up to you. But that jerk Inu Yasha better dance with you, or he's gonna get it." Sango said with a mischieveious smile plastered across her face; as they both entered the car.

"Sango, please, I don't want anyone to be mean to him...just..don't. That's mean."

"Oh come on Kagome, If he wants to be a jerk, then i'm gonna let him have it for hurting your feelings!! Come on, let me!" Sango stated.

"Sango-chan, I really don't want anyone to be mean to him, If he doesn't want to dance with me, well, then that's his descision. Sango, how can you say stuff like that anyways, we're not even at the dance yet." Kagome said.

"DAAAAAD! Hurry up and get in the car to drive us to the dance! You're gonna make us late!! sheez......." Sango yelled out the backseat window of the car.

~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Kagome and Sango finally arrived at the dance, a little late though, all thanks to Sango's dad. Well, now they were here, and ready for the dances that may come. (^^U) They both walked up the paved asphalt driveway to the school's main entrance. They both pulled out their five dollars, and stood in line for admission into the dance. Kagome nervously looked around the average sized crowd waiting in line, in search for Inu Yasha's doggy eared head, hoping that he'd be here. She was still thinkiong about asking him to dance, and the thought just made her nervous all the worse. Well..he did tell her he'd be here, right? He wouldn't lie, would he?

'Oh great, he's already inside....' Kagome thought nervously as she twiddled with the dollar bills in her hand. Kagome hoped that this would be an enjoyable evening for her, for once.
