CHAPTER 5

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

---recap from last chapter---

"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.

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

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

"Huh? Oh, hey Sango. What do you want?" Inu Yasha replied annoyingly.

"Will you dance with Kagome now?"

"Umm...uh....well....you see....." Inu Yasha stuttered

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

'Oh gods....I hope he says yes..." Kagome nervously hugged herself while standing in the far corner of the MPR, furthest away from Inu Yasha, while she awaited his reply.

'What if he says no? I'll feel so stupid...oh gods i've never been quite this nervous before...' she thought.

'But then again, what if he says yes? I'd have the time of my life, for now at least...' Kagome's thoughts drifted on further as she stared in the direction Sango and Inu Yasha were.

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

"Well....what?!! I need answer Inu Yasha." Sango half shouted.

"Well....it goes like this. I don't want to jeaprodize me and Kagome's friendship....I mean..what if people saw us and thought we were going out or something? Then I might have to go out with her, but then what if I dumped her? I don't want Kagome to end up like Kikyo and the other Ex's........so, No, I don't want to dance with her; but it's not that I don't like her, don't get me wrong but....." Inu Yasha trailed off and stared nervously at the ground.

"So you're turning her down? Inu Yasha, I can't believe you! She's never danced with a guy in her life! *grrr* I can't believe you!" Sango stomped off, while Inu Yasha looked a little sad and stared at his foot.

~`~`~`~`~`~

Sango approached Kagome, who was now hiding behind a crowd of chatting people. Sango hated to be the bearer of bad news, but this was something she had to tell Kagome right away, for friendship's sake. She didn't want to see her best friend saddened, but she needed to tell her.

"Kagome-chan,...."

"Oh! Sango-chan, I didn't see you there! So....what did he say...?" Kagome asked nervously.

"Kagome.....I don't think I should tell you."

"Sango-chan, I need to know! What did he say?!"

"Well....he said...No. But..It's not that he doesn't like you, but he said he didn't want to jeaprodize you guys' friendship or something.....what an insensitive jerk.." Sango said with a scowl near the end.

"Oh.....I see....well....If he wants to be friends....but.." Kagome couldn't stand holding in the lump in her throat that was painfully there, so she walked a bit slowly to the bathrooms.

"Kagome-chan, if you want me and some of my friends to go yell at him, I will...." Sango said while giving Kagome a reassuring hug.

"That's ok Sango-chan, but I really don't want anyone to be mean to him or bother him like that. Please don't be mean to him.." Kagome said as she and Sango approached the bathrooms.

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

"Ugh! I can't believe him! Kagome, how can you not be mad at him?!!!" Sango said as her words echoed throughout the bathroom.

Kagome walked over to the wall and leaned up against it. "I don't know....but.." Kagome said with teary eyes.

"Come on, let's get back to the dance and try to have fun, ok?" replied Sango in a soft tone.

"Ok..." Kagome replied barely audible.

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

Kagome sat down on one of the chairs that outlined the inner walls of the MPR. A slow song came on once again onto the speakers and flowed throughout the room.

'Oh great....just what i need..a slow song....' Kagome thought as she slumped down further in her chair. She tried to act happy and smile as her friends approached her and put their purses down beside her for her to watch over while they danced with their boyfriends and such. Kagome forced a smile out as she watched Miroku and Sango dance once again.

*sigh* 'They make such a cute couple' Kagome thought as she sighed once again, and rested her chin on her hand. She hated trying to act happy. Tears were slowly pooling up in her eyes, but she tried as best she could to blink them away.

'Why would Inu Yasha say something like that? One dance isn't going to ruin our frienship!!! *sigh* I should've asked Sango to ask him to dance with me as a friend, but it's too late now..i guess.....But he did say that he liked me, didn't he? ..it sounded like he did. He doesn't want me to end up like Kikyo, right? So then he does care about me then, right?' Kagome thought as she sat up, a little satisfied that Inu Yasha did care about her, even if it was a little bit.

The slow song soon ended.

'Thank god it's over.....' Kagome thought happily.

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

"Hey, Kagome! I gave him the finger!! hahahaha!" said one of Kagome's friends, who obviously found out about the whole Inu Yasha-said-no thing.

'Oh great...how many people know now? Jeez!' thought Kagome.

"No..no no no....Don't be mean to him, please! I really don't want anyone to bother him, please!!" Kagome shouted a little angry at her friends.

"But Kagome, you should be mean to him! He's being a total jerk!"

"Just stay out of it, ok! Please, tell everyone to stop being mean, I don't want him to be mad at me or anything...just don't." Kagome said.

The main lights in the MPR turned on, and that was the signal that the dance was officially over. The students began pouring out of the MPR into the hallways, creating a traffic jam of people. Kagome and Sango managed to get out first, and they stood outside in the early evening air.

~`~`~`~`~`~

"So, Kagome, I'll see you monday then!" Sango said as she ran off to her dad's car, and they drove off.

Kagome waited about 10 minutes, then her mom pulled up to take her home.

"Kagome dear, did you have a good time at the dance then?" Her mom asked.

"Yeah..it was a lot of fun." Kagome looked out the window.

~`~`~

Kagome took off her shoes as she entered her house. She went up to her room, changed into her pajama's, then layed down on her bed. She softly started crying into her pillow.....

Eeek! Some of you out there are probably ready to strangle either me or Inu Yasha...... I'm also very sorry that this chapter was so short, I'm very sorry! m(_ _)m But this fic is based on actual events, so I have to stick to what really happened (Inu Yasha saying no) . But don't worry, I'm planning this story to get better, I promise!!! I'm also very sorry that i've had a major lack of updates.
