I am still in Denmark; it is Wednesday, June 4. Evil stepsister, Amanda... is making me write this chapter... oh well. Here is the long awaited chapter 28, the end of the school year dance! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I OWN INUYASHA! *wakes up from nice dream.* Ah, poo. I don't? I don't own Inuyasha. *pouts*

Chapter 28- End of the School Year Dance!

After Kagome and Inuyasha got ready for school, they walked to school together. When they got to school, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi ran up to greet them.

"Hojo isn't here today." Eri told them.

"He... isn't? Is he okay?" Kagome asked.

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi exchanged troubled glances. "Well... we aren't sure. We didn't stay to check." Yuka said with a worried expression on her face.

"We've asked around, but nobody stayed and checked on Hojo. As far as we know... he's dead..." Ayumi's voice dropped into a whisper when she said the last two words, then laughed nervously.

They all exchanged worried glances after hearing that. Kagome decided to break the silence.

"So... are you going to come to my house after school today to get ready for the dance?" Kagome asked her friends.

"Yes, of course!" Eri answered, as they began to walk to their lockers, and Ayumi and Yuka nodded their heads in agreement.

"We'll come over as soon as we can. I am going to drop my stuff off at home, and then I'll bring my dress and makeup with me to your house." Ayumi confirmed.

(A/N: I am guessing that the end of the school year dance is really big and formal at their school. HA HA! I am watching a commercial in Danish...)

When they finished going to their lockers, they went to history. When the bell rang, Mrs. Sumisawa walked up to the front of the classroom.

"Everyone, take out your pencil; I hope that you studied yesterday, and I hope that everyone's grade improves." Mrs. Sumisawa said, and handed everyone except Inuyasha the retake test for chapter 19. She smiled at Inuyasha.

"You can take a nap, if you didn't bring anything to do." she suggested.

Inuyasha nodded, and then pointed to a stack of papers that he got from his teachers the day before. (A/N: This must be what they are supposed to be working on today in class. He's such a smart hanyou, no?)

After everyone finished their retest, (and Inuyasha finished all of the work that he had for his other classes), the bell rang and everyone went to their second period class.

When the bell rang again, Mr. Takenouchi went up the rows of desks, making sure that everyone remembered to bring the "Red Scarf Girl" book that he had issued them.

(A/N: I am on the plane from Copenhagen to London right now, it's Friday, June 6. I will tell you about my other strange happenings at the end of this chapter.)

They read for the whole class. Then, Kagome, Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, and Inuyasha walked to English.

When the 2nd bell rang, Ms. Nishizawa began checking role.

"Hojo...?" Ms. Nishizawa waited for a reply.

"Is Hojo here today?" Ms. Nishizawa asked.

"No... He's... uh... sick..." Kagome answered the teacher.

(A/N: Now I am on the plane from London to Chicago... Ugg... 8 hours. Tee hee. When Amanda tried to threaten me to write more of the chapter, I told her, "I don't take threats, I take bribes. Cash is acceptable, so are checks and credit cards..." She is now paying me $1 to write this chapter, lol.)

English went by uneventfully, then came lunch.

"I'm really starting to worry about Hojo. Do you think he could be in a coma or something?" Eri asked Kagome, who only shrugged.

(A/N: Who cares what happened to Hojo? Me; I want him to be dead!!! *laughs evilly* Oh, you'll find out later...)

After lunch, came Kagome's "favorite" subject with her "favorite" teacher.

Then after Algebra, was Biology. Inuyasha had to do the dissecting by himself today, since Hojo was gone. (A/N: Wait, that's what he's BEEN doing the whole time, right?)

Same boring thing in P.E., except with no Hojo.

30 minutes after they got home from school, Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi arrived at Kagome's house with their dresses, makeup, and everything else that they needed.

"So, we'll do your hair, and you'll let us each have one dance with Inuyasha, right, Kagome?" Ayumi asked hopefully.

"And we'll do your makeup!" Yuka added.

"And... I can't think of anything else... we'll... give you advice on you and Inuyasha's relationship?" Eri suggested.

"No, I already told you... and why would I take YOUR advice on relationships?" Kagome asked.

"Umm... well...let's put on our dresses!" Eri quickly changed the subject.

Kagome sighed and took her dress with her into the bathroom to get changed. After Kagome, Yuka went to get changed, then Eri, then Ayumi. When Kagome was getting her hair done by her friends, Sota slowly opened the door.

"Eww! You look even uglier than you usually do!" Sota commented after sneaking into Kagome's bedroom.

"Shut up, Sota! Get OUT!" Kagome yelled, and chased her little brother out of her room.

While Kagome was having her hair done, Mrs. Higurashi took Inuyasha with her to get the flowers to make the bouquet and corsage.

"This is Inuyasha, my daughter's boyfriend. He is taking her to the dance tonight, and we need flowers to make a bouquet and corsage." Mrs. Higurashi told the lady at the flower store.

"Oh, how sweet! Now follow me, and we will pick out something nice for Kagome, okay? I'll even help you put together the bouquet and corsage- no extra charge." The lady said with a smile. (A/N: I guess that Mrs. Higurashi goes here often, and the lady at the flower store knows them well enough to know Kagome's name.)

"These are pretty!" the lady at the flower store said, as she led them around the store.

"Red is the color that stands for everlasting love; yellow is the color that stands for friendship; white is the color that stands for purity; pink is the color that stands for happiness..." she explained as she picked up a flower as she said what it's color stands for.

"This will make a lovely bouquet, what color is your daughter's dress for the corsage?" she asked Mrs. Higurashi, after picking some flowers from the bouquet, making the color blend beautifully, and then handing the bouquet to Mrs. Higurashi.

"Ooo! That is absolutely beautiful, thank you! Her dress is black." Mrs. Higurashi answered, but continued to stare in awe of the bouquet. (A/N: I was literally falling asleep when I was writing this, so I am sorry if it is boring. I only had 2 hours of sleep.)

"I have just the flowers for that..." she said, and returned a few minutes later with a prearranged corsage that would go with Kagome's dress perfectly.

"Thank you so much!" Mrs. Higurashi thanked the lady at the flower store and paid for the bouquet and corsage.

Mrs. Higurashi was able to get Inuyasha in the house, without Kagome and her friends ever knowing that they were gone.

"Go get changed into your tuxedo, Inuyasha, and then come back downstairs so I can take some pictures of you." She said, with a tweak of his ears.

Kagome stepped back and looked at herself in the mirror; her hair and makeup was done, and she was perfectly ready for the dance. Kagome frowned.

'Inuyasha never liked when I wore makeup before, and Yuka put too much makeup on me, anyway.' Kagome thought, and grabbed a tissue and wiped some off. Then Kagome remembered something.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she ran around the house, looking for him.

'What in the seven hells is he going to wear?' Kagome wondered.

She stopped, when Inuyasha came out of the bathroom, in his tuxedo, holding her bouquet and corsage.

"Yes?" Inuyasha asked her.

Kagome fainted at the sight of him; her dreams seemed to be coming true. Inuyasha caught Kagome in his arms as she fainted and nearly fell to the floor. He carried her down the stairs, bridal style.

*FLASH*

Mrs. Higurashi took a picture of him, holding Kagome.

Kagome slowly fluttered her eyes open and looked out the window.

"Inuyasha..." she whispered, "It's a new moon tonight..." Kagome told him, and looked up at him, as his cute dog ears were replaced by human ones, his fangs transformed into normal teeth, his claws turned into human nails, his hair changed from silver to black, and his eyes changed from golden to dark.

Kagome hugged him.

"You look beautiful, Kagome." he told her.

"You look nice, Inuyasha." Kagome replied.

"AWW!!!" Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi, (who had come out of the bedroom just after Inuyasha's transformation, [so they didn't know he changed] and they had been watching since then) said in unison with Mrs. Higurashi, (who took a few pictures.)

Sota grinned happily at the thought of how Inuyasha could soon be his brother, while Jii-chan watched and sulked about how "Kagome is all grown up."

"MOM!" Kagome moaned as her mom took more pictures, and Kagome's face turned a crimson red. (A/N: Wouldn't yours too? They were having "a moment," [well, kinda] and everyone is watching and taking pictures! I don't know about you, but I would be beyond the point of embarrassment.)

Kagome broke from the hug and allowed Inuyasha to put the corsage on her. Inuyasha handed her the bouquet, and Kagome thanked him. Kagome stood with Inuyasha for her mom to take more pictures. Than, Kagome's mom had her stand with her friends for a few more pictures, then a few pictures of them all together. Kagome looked at the clock when her mom finished taking pictures.

"Well, we have to go to the dance now, Mom. Bye!" she called and left out the door with Inuyasha and her friends.

"Umm... Kagome, what's up with Inuyasha's hair?" Ayumi asked.

Kagome gave her a confused look at first, then thought of an excuse.

"My mom took him to get his hair dyed for tonight while we were getting ready." Kagome explained, and her friends nodded in understanding.

"His hair looks cool black." Eri commented.

"I think that it looks cool when it is silver..." Yuka added.

Ayumi smiled when she looked at Inuyasha and said, "Let's just agree that it looks cool either way."

Inuyasha was too busy worrying about how he will be able to protect Kagome to be listening to Kagome's friends' conversation about his cool hair color.

When they got to the school, guess who was waiting for them... that's right- HOJO! Hojo was standing in front of the school with a giant Band-Aid on his nose. As they walked past him, Hojo gave Inuyasha one of his death glares. (A/N: Doesn't he understand? Inuyasha can and WILL kick Hojo's ass! Oh, and I am sorry if you wanted Hojo to die...)

"So, I guess Hojo didn't die..." Yuka said with a laugh.

When they got into the school, signs pointed to the cafeteria. People were standing outside of the cafeteria collecting entrance fees for the dance. Inuyasha handed them the money to cover himself and Kagome. (A/N: Mrs. Higurashi gave him the money.) Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka handed their money in separately, then they entered the cafeteria together.

Kagome pulled out her disposable camera from her purse and took a few pictures of her friends standing inside the transformed, nicely decorated cafeteria. "My Will" by Dream was blasting on the loud speakers. (A/N: Let's just pretend for a split-second that this isn't anything strange to be happening, but this is actually a pretty popular song at Kagome's school. On the episode "New Moon and the Black Haired Inuyasha," when Kagome is on her date with Hojo, "My Will" is playing in food place that they are at; I am serious.)

After about 30 minutes of Kagome dancing with Inuyasha, (but constantly being interrupted by her friends asking if they could dance with her boyfriend,) Kagome caved in, and let Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi each have one dance with him. (A/N: Trust me, Kagome wasn't even ABOUT to let them have a slow dance with her boyfriend. I wouldn't either, if Inu-chan was MY boyfriend!)

Then, "Fukai Mori" by Do as Infinity came on. (A/N: I don't know about you, but I am considering this a slow song.)

Kagome looked longingly at the dance floor where other couples were slow dancing to the song.

"Inuyasha, come dance with me." she told, (not asked), Inuyasha.

Inuyasha smiled and took her hand, and led her to the dance floor. Kagome sighed, and relaxed against his chest as they slow danced together. Just as the song was ending, Kagome gazed into Inuyasha's dark colored eyes, and they leaned in closer and kissed, (a fairly long kiss too. Tee hee.)

Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri clapped for them after the broke from the kiss. Near the end of the dance, Hojo headed for a teacher that was chaperoning the dance.

"... and I wasn't doing anything wrong, he just came up to me saying that he wanted to fight, then he punched me as hard as he could..." was all that Inuyasha, Kagome, and her friends could overhear Hojo telling the teacher.

"It was him." Hojo then said, pointing to Inuyasha.

"Come here, Inuyasha, is that your name?" the teacher ordered.

Inuyasha came, followed by Kagome, her friends, and a large group of Inuyasha admirers. The teacher repeated the story that Hojo had told him.

"Is that true?" the teacher asked Inuyasha.

"No, sir." Inuyasha said, and then told him what really happened.

The teacher's face became clouded with thought.

"Does anyone believe Inuyasha's story?" the teacher asked the group.

Lots of "I agree" "Inuyasha is telling the truth" and other things were heard from the crowd.

"Who agrees with Hojo's story?" the teacher then asked the crowd, who remained silent.

"I am sorry, but I don't have any real proof to get Inuyasha suspended from this school." The teacher told Hojo, who gave an angry look to Inuyasha, and left. Soon after, the dance was over and Kagome walked home with Inuyasha, hand in hand.

"I had fun, Inuyasha..."she told him, as she leaned against him as they walked home.

She was tired, really tired. Inuyasha could tell as she began to drift off to sleep, so he picked her up bridal style and carried her home.

"... I love you, Inuyasha..." Kagome said in her sleep.

When they reached the house, Mrs. Higurashi took a picture of Inuyasha carrying Kagome upstairs. Sota ran out of his bedroom, ready to greet his hero.

"INU-" Sota was cut off by Inuyasha.

"Shh... Kagome's asleep..." Inuyasha whispered to Sota, who hugged him, and went back to his room.

Inuyasha quietly opened Kagome's door, and put her under the covers of her bed.

"Good night, Kagome; I love you." Inuyasha whispered and gave her a kiss on the forehead and stayed in her room for the rest of the night watching her sleep and protecting her.

That's the end of chapter 28! I think Inu-chan is in love! Well, I am at the Chicago airport right now, and about to get on the plane to Dallas-Fort Worth... who's ready to hear about the rest of my misadventures in Europe? Aw, you are no fun; I am telling you anyway! On the way to Europe, at the Chicago airport, my shoe high heel shoe broke, (it was SO cool! It has a Japanese print on white silk with gold dragons!) So, I was limping around, and it looked like I had a broken leg! Somewhere in my limping, I dropped my passport, and if you don't have your passport, they send you back to the US! GAH! So, we sent Amanda to find it, and thankfully, she did (YAY!) At the London airport, I bought "Diddy Donuts" from the McDonald's. Don't ever buy these! They are good, but they come with EVIL raspberry sauce... it got all over my fancy clothes and long hair! Well, I had fun talks with my cousin, Rasmus, (he speaks a good amount of English.) I asked him how to say some very vital phrases in Danish, such as: "There are little people in my head" and "I want to eat your children." Also, I asked him why people from Denmark hate people from the United States. He had several different theories, but my personal favorite was- it's because they are racist against anyone that isn't from Denmark. Tee hee. He ended up saying that not everyone hates people from the Unites States, but I still like that theory. I had to explain the term "fruity" (as in Sesshomaru) and "airhead" to him, though. Before I explained these terms, though, I said, "So, I can call you a 'fruity cheese monkey,' and you wouldn't be insulted?" He laughed and said, "A fruity cheese monkey? No." Tee hee, but I had to explain the term.

I am not happy, because it took me FOREVER to write the last chapter, and all I got was 2 reviews! You better review A LOT!
