Chapter Four: Dancing Queen
Kagome rolled over and her face hit something warm. "That's right, Inuyasha slept with me" she smiled and opened her eyes to a red kimono. Outside the sun was just rising, shining a whole new light into her room. She slowly rose and sat and stretched as much as she could without reopening her wound. She peered down at his sleeping face and lightly brushed her fingertips across his nose. With a sniffle he awoke and looked at her. They stared at each other, slowly remembering the night before. Amber eyes faded through emotions; dazed, confused, content and panicked. Suddenly Inuyasha sat up.
"You should be laying down!" he yelled and shot out of bed.
"Inuyasha whats wrong?"
"I...uh..." his face turned bright red. "We....uh...." "We slept in the same bed! And I told you my feelings and....wow." he thought and turned away.
She stood rather shakily and he turned to catch her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him. "So, what are we now?"
Inuyashas courage caught in his throat. "I..uh...well I guess that you are....well um I am your.....umm what do you think?"
She giggled. "I think you are my boyfriend. And as such, I order you to go take a bath, you stink. Actually lets go down and have breakfast and then you can take a bath."
"Im your boyfriend and you love me." Inuyasha summarized mentally. Everything felt right with the realization of those words. He sighed and looked down at her face. Her eyes looked expectantly up at his. "Right...I guess that means we can kiss....but is this the right time? Am I her first one?" She closed her the brown orbs and tilted her chin upwards. "O...alright Inuyasha you can do this...you've kissed Kikyo. Or rather she kissed you...its not so hard." He gulped and took her face in his hands. Slowly he bended down to kiss her lips.....
"Kagome! Are you home!?" Inuyashas head shot up and Kagomes eyes opened with a disappointed look. She half smiled at him.
"Yeah mom! And I brought Inuyasha, so he will be eating breakfast with us!"
"Sounds good! Breakfast is ready!"
Kagome sighed and shooed him out of the room. "I need to get dressed. Go eat." Inuyasha started down the stairs, but suddenly heard Kagome squeal. He ran back up.
"Kagome?!" he called on the other side of the door.
"Oh...yeah! Im fine....but I think I found a way you can make all that stuff last night up to me...." she opened the door and shoved a flyer in his face. " Read this" she closed the door and Inuyasha began reading:
Saturday Furaboshi High School will host a "Promotion" dance.("What the heck is that?!" Inuyasha thought) Any class can attend! This years theme: Romance. ("Romance? With Kagome?!"Inuyashas cheeks got very red.) The dance starts at 9!
"Kagome what the heck is this?!" Inuyasha called. Kagome burst from the room in a sun dress. "She looks so good....how come I never noticed stuff like this before?" Inuyasha thought, allowing his mind to wander.
" Its, well it's a social event." she explained as they walked down the stairs, "Where a boy takes a girl, they listen to music and dance. Sometimes there is food, but mostly its just a romantic evening....." she let her voice drift off.
"Oh..." Inuyashas blush matched Kagomes. Suddenly they were very aware of Kagomes mother, brother and grandfather staring at them from the breakfast table.
"Oh finally" Kagomes brother sighed.
"And what is that supposed to mean?!" Inuyasha got in his face and growled. Her brother giggled *sweatdrop*
"Uh nothing...we just were waiting for you two so we could eat that's all." Nervously Souta began eating the rice balls in front of him.
"Uh yeah that's what I thought." Inuyasha started gobbling up his food too. For a few moments they ate in silence.
"So since you two are officially an item now, I suppose Kagomes making you take her to this dance that she has always dreamed of going to, right?" Kagomes mother said as she sipped some tea and rased an eye at Inuyasha.
"Who? No...wait uh...." they said in unison.
"How did you know about us?" Kagome asked, "and Im not 'making' him do anything." she looked away.
"He's not taking you then?"
"I uh...Ka....Kagome I want to take you if it will make you happy." Inuyasha said with his eyes closed in embarrassment. He opened them to see her face shining.
"Really? Can we invite Miroku and Sango and Shippo too?!"
"Uh...sure I uh guess we can...."
"YEAH!!!!" Kagome jumped into the air and then glomped Inuyasha softy, still aware of her wound. "We will go right after breakfast and then bring them back and then we need to figure out what to wear and then maybe we can all go out to dinner but wait Shippo doesn't have a date oh no!" Kagome grabbed her last rice ball and ran out of the room.
Kagomes mother smiled. "This is a rather expensive affair Inuyasha I hope you are prepared."
Inuyasha looked down at his money bag. He poured the contents onto the table. "Do these still work?"
Kagomes mother and grandfather glanced at each other. Collectively they sighed. "Uh no." Kagomes grandfather started, "But if you do a job for me, then I can give you some money that will work in this era."
Inuyasha smiled, grateful. While Kagome was on the phone securing a date for Shippo, Inuyasha chopped some firewood for her grandfather. He walked outside just as Inuyasha was finishing and handed him 100,000 yen. "This should cover you. Thank you for your work." He patted Inuyashas shoulder. "Have her back by 1:00, please." he gripped his shoulder tighter, "Or you wont be the only demon in town."
Inuyasha backed away slowly. "Uh ok...sure..." he stashed the money in his pocket and ran up to the house. "Kagome!" he called. She ran down the stairs.
"Ok lets go!" she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the well. Together they jumped, and landed in Inuyashas time. He jumped out of the well and pulled her up. For a moment they stood and wondered what to do. Suddenly Inuyasha grabbed her hand and began walking towards the village.
