CHAPTER 4

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

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

She was still thinking 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.

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

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

She and Sango finally reached the pay table, paid, and walked over to the numerous tables in the hallway and set their coats down on top of one. Kagome inhaled deeply as she knew she was going to have to ask Inu Yasha to dance. She told Sango on the ride over here that she was indefinately going to, so there was no going back now.

*Click* *Click* *Click* Kagome's high heels echoed a little through the hallways on her way to the MPR (multi purpose room), where the dance was being held. The booming of music could be heard louder the closer and closer she got. A few seconds passed, and a new song was coming out of the huge speakers. It was the cha cha slide song. Kagome entered the MPR, and a slight breeze hit her face, sending a few strands of her hair back. She nervously looked around, for Inu Yasha, and of course to see where Sango had run off to.

She surveyed the crowd that was near the far wall, and there sat Inu Yasha, sitting in a chair next to Miroku, with his arms crossed. Miroku was trying to get Inu Yasha to get up and get a soda with him. Inu Yasha wouldn't budge.

'*sigh* Is he going to sit there all night? Well..at least i'll know where he'll be.' Kagome thought.

"Ah! Kagome-chan, you HAVE to dance to this with me! Come on, it'll be fun!" Sango ran up to her and grabbed her wrist, dragging her near the middle of the dance floor.

"Sango-chan, I can't dance! I'll make a fool out of myself!" Kagome yelled in protest.

"Oh come on, Kagome-chan, this dance is fairly easy, and no, you will -not- make a fool out of yourself. Everyone else is dancing the same!" replied Sango, having to raise her voice a little because of the loud music.

"*sigh*....naze..." Kagome stated as she began to stumble about the dance floor, cautiosly looking around her to try and follow the dance steps. "Sango, I can't do this! I'm going to go get a soda." Kagome lifted her head up from looking at her feet, and found that Inu Yasha was staring right at her. She immediatly blushed. Good thing it was dark enough so that no one seen her blush, though.

She timidly walked over to the soda stand, gave the person 50 cents, and cracked open a can of Sprite. After a few minutes of quenching her thirst, Kagome proceeded to go find a chair to sit in. She found one that was empty, but it was 4 seats away from Inu Yasha. She sat down anyways, hoping that he wouldn't take any mind that she was there. It didn't work, as one of his ears twitched in her direction. He turned his head to see her sitting there.

Kagome stared straight ahead, fighting off her inner self that made her want to turn her head and look back at him. She gave in, unable to stand the feeling of someone staring at her. She took a sip of her soda and turned her head to face him.

"What!?" Kagome yelled at him.

"Huh? Nothing! -Feh-!" He said and turned his head away with a scowl

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

The silly dance song that Sango tried getting Kagome to dance to soon ended, and Sango approached Kagome once again.

"So, are you going to ask him to dance or what?" asked Sango.

"I told you, i'm going to ask him, but not right now." Kagome stated, and stood up. She was going to go see what her other friends were doing, when she looked back at Sango.

Sango had plastered a mischevious smirk on her face, and walked away. Towards Inu Yasha.

'Oh gods no! What is she doing?! She better not be doing what i think she is!' Kagome's heart was beating so fast, in fear that Sango was asking Inu Yasha for her. 'I didn't want her to ask him for me! Why is she doing this! Sango, why!?! You've ruined my whole plan! Damnit!' Kagome ran far into the crowd, getting as far away from Inu Yasha and Sango as possible. She hid behind a clique of girls, and peeked out from behind them to see if Sango really did do what she thought.

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

"So, Inu Yasha, Kagome wants to know if you'll dance with her." Sango said plainly

"Well...I don't know..." Inu Yasha said a bit flustered and frustrated at the same time.

"You know, Inu Yasha, It would mean a lot to her if you did because she's never danced with a guy. Ever." Miroku replied, reassuringly.

"Well....." Inu Yasha trailed off.

"What was that? I can't quite hear you Inu Yasha. Do speak up." Sango said.

"I don't want to jeaprodize me and Kagome's friendship, so....." Inu Yasha paused.

"so.....?" Sango and Miroku both waited anxiously to await Inu Yasha's reply.

"aaah! I don't know. Tell her to ask me later. Ok?!" Inu Yasha said. He wanted time to think about it they both guessed. As soon as he replied that Sango ran off to find Kagome.

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

"Kagome! Kagome! Where'd you go? Ah, here you are!" Sango said as she found Kagome, huddled behind a crowd of people.

"Sango, Why'd you have to go and do that?! You ruined my whole plan...now what's he going to think of me? God, I feel so stupid!" Kagome thought all worried.

A slow song started playing out of the speakers. Young couples started to gather and hold each other as they swayed slowly to the music. Kagome and Sango sat down, knowing that either would probably get asked. Kagome was all a flutter thinking about Inu Yasha, since the slow song came on. Miroku slowly was approaching the girls, trying to pry through the crowds that had gathered along the edges of the dance floor.

"Uh, oh..." Sango slowly said, barely audible as Miroku came up to the girls.

"Sango, my dear, may i have this dance?" he said with a smirk, and grabbed her hand. She blushed of course, and she stood up. Miroku dragged her off to the dance floor, smiling like there was no tomorrow. Sango glanced back quickly and gave Kagome a look that said 'eeep!'. Kagome laughed lightly as she watched her friend dance with Miroku. Kagome sat there, pretending to smile at all the happy couples, swaying to the music.

Kagome wished that there were no slow songs at all, so she didn't have to feel left out. By now all the chairs around her were pretty much empty, except for Inu Yasha, who she moved about 10 seats away from. Gods, now she was going to be embarassed the whole night because now he knew that she liked and wanted to dance with him. Kagome saddened at the thought of him saying no. Heck, he didn't even say he wasn't going to, so what was she all worried about?

Kagome just couldn't stand sitting there alone anymore, so she went and got a drink of water from the nearby water fountain.

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

"So, Sango, what made you actually want to dance with me, hm?" Miroku said as he pulled Sango close.

"I...I dunno...." She said. She began to put her arms around his neck, when she felt two familiar hands wander and place themselves on her bottom. Miroku smiled lightly. Sango made a funny face, then decided to let it go this time. '*Sigh* I don't want to slap him now and make a big scene..' she thought.

"Sango.."

"Hmm?"

"I can't keep this to myself any longer. I..I really like you Sango." he whispered in her ear. Sango's eyes widened, and placed her head on his shoulder.

"I...I..I guess i like you too, Miroku." they stayed like that for the rest of the song, in each other's arms.

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

"Hmm..so, Sango, did you have a nice dance with Miroku?" Kagome asked her friend, who still hadn't stopped blushing.

"Well...I guess so...the only bad part was that he had his hands on my ass the whole time...."

"Oh yeah right Sango, I saw the both of you, and you two looked as if you've been going out for years!! Your head was resting on his shoulder the whole time and everything!" Kagome squealed with excitement.

"I....I....well....He told me he liked me, and i told him I liked him too..." she trailed off, and blushed.

"What?! You like him? How come I didn't know this!!?" Kagome started to get a little mad at the fact that Sango never told her who she liked, but that didn't really matter now, because she knew.

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

10 songs (about 30 minutes?) later.....

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

Another slow song started to pour out of the speakers and echo its slow rhythm throughout the MPR. Kagome got an idea.

"Umm..Sango-chan...before you run off and dance with Miroku again..could you ask Inu Yasha if he'd.....dance with me now?" Kagome asked, a little scared.

"Of course, Kagome-chan. Miroku, I'll be right back!" she said as she walked off in the direction where Inu Yasha was sitting. Kagome remained seated, as she nervously awaited Sango with Inu Yasha's response.

~`~`~`~`~

"Hey, Inu Yasha......." Sango said.

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

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

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