~CHAPTER FOUR~
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am your DJ for this special night. Let MC Joe make this night a night to remember." The crowd of formal clad young people cheered and started to dance when the music started blasting out of the speakers placed around him. It was dark, but there was an area separated off to the second floor of balconies in the hotel for sitting and refreshments. The night was going smooth. For a while, even Inuyasha and Sango were enjoying themselves forgetting about the problem that lay ahead of them. There was a bar there too, and you can guess who finds her way there sometime during that night. Let's just say it wasn't Kagome or Sango.
"Ok, now let's slow it down. But don't go too far if you're leaving the dance floor. There's still more to come for the next three hours." The first few guitar riffs of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls came on when Kagome said, "This is one of my favorite songs from America." Naraku just smiled and kissed her on the forehead as they began to slowly dance in each other's arms. I swear I'm going to make love to this woman tonight. But I'm going to tell her. Even if she's going to leave me afterwards. She needs to know.
Two Hours Later
"Ok, I think you had enough drinks for the night miss." One of the bartenders said to Kikyou. "Oh don't be szuch (such) a pardy (party) pooper. I can handle juss (just) one more. Come on." "Kikyou, come on, you're smashed we should go back to your apartment." Inuyasha said taking the empty glass away from her and giving it back to the bartender. "Nod (Not) you doo (too) Inu-chan. Everyone isz (is) oud (out) to gid (get) me. Even my son ob (of) a bitsch (bitch) couszin (cousin). I dhone (don't) need you!" Running away she crashed into a few people, but managed to wriggle her way passed dancing people to the DJ's booth. Inuyasha lost her and kept trying to get through until he heard the commotion between her and the DJ.
"And now for you Do As Infinity fans - Hey!" The DJ fumbled over his equipment after Kikyou snatched his microphone. "Hi everyone!" beginning to sound sober. "I just wanted to come up here to let everyone know that Kagome Higurashi is the biggest idiot I've ever come to know. Not only does she date the biggest moron, but she never thought twice about how she lost her virginity. I mean come on. wouldn't you remember that special event? But I guess she wasn't smart enough to figure out that her sweetheart boyfriend, Naraku, had drugged her to get her into bed. Can we say desperate? But that's not all. Miroku comes in second place for the biggest idiot because guess who he is dating. that's right Naraku's very own recent girlfriend Samantha Hashimoto. Now isn't that an interesting thing to know. By the way Miroku, for being the second biggest idiot, I do have to give you credit for being one of my best lovers." The crowd just stared as Kagome burst out crying. Miroku, Inuyasha, Naraku, and Sango were both steaming mad. No one insulted Kagome like that. Especially Kikyou.
Cousin or not, she is a bitch who needs to get a REAL life. (Naraku)
That whore. I should give her a black eye for Kagome. (Sango)
She slept with Miroku willingly? I am a bigger idiot than people think. (Inuyasha)
It's nice to hear something like that, but I must admit that I don't remember doing anything with her that night either. (Miroku)
The DJ had wrestled the microphone out of the drunken Kikyou's hands and the security had to forcibly remove her from the building. (Oh, how sad. NOT) "Ok, I'm sorry for that interruption. Security has taken care of the matter, so don't worry folks. There is still another hour to dance the night away. So liven up everyone. As I was saying before, for those Do As Infinity fans, here is one of their songs, called Fukai Mori." As the song began blasting, Kagome ran out the opposite exit that Kikyou was taken out of. Following her was Naraku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku. After their departure, Samantha and Matt had met and began to dance together seeing as how their dates had all rushed out together after Kagome.
"Kagome! Let me explain! Wait up!" "Just leave her alone you jerk!" Inuyasha came running up behind Naraku with Sango and Miroku in tow. "Kagome, wait!" Sango called after her. Kagome and Sango were both running pretty fast in platforms. Unfortunately, Kagome tripped and fell on her face, arms flailing. "Kyaa!!" She cried harder as everyone caught up to her. Naraku tried to help her up, but she smacked his hands away and glared. "Don't touch me. I don't want to talk to any of you." She hissed. "Please, sweetheart, let me explain." "Don't call me sweetheart. We're not going out anymore. I don't even know who you are anymore." She turned her back to all of them. "Kagome. I'm . sorry. for everything." Inuyasha said while shuffling his feet. It's pretty hard for him to apologize, but hearing it from him was worth a lot more than it seems. Kagome stopped crying as Sango added, "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have abandoned you with Miroku for a guy." "And I'm sorry for anything I've done that has upset you too." Miroku chimed in. "Heh, seems like this year was meant to ruin my life, and all of it revolved around Kikyou." She spit out Kikyou's name like it was venom and sat there staring at the ground. Her back was still to them.
Kneeling behind Kagome to the side Naraku sighed. "Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for things to turn out like this. I don't know what exactly to say to make you feel better, but the entire plan was just to break you and Miroku apart. I didn't know I'd fall in love with you. Honest. If I had known who you really were before I agreed to do Kikyou's dirty work, then I wouldn't have done anything in the first place. Believe me Kagome; I'm truly sorry and sad to see that things have come to this. I'll understand if you don't want to see me anymore, but I want you to know that I do care about you. You're a beautiful, intelligent, and special young woman, you deserve better than me." With that said, he patted her shoulder and stood back up to leave, but was stopped when Kagome stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "I don't know why you helped Kikyou, but it must have been a lot of money because I know you're a better person than you think you are. I still want to see you, but just as friends. I do love you Naraku, but you've lost my trust, but I want to give you a chance to make it up to me. Maybe someday we'll get back together, but I'm not making any promises." Naraku smiled at her and she smiled back. He gave her a small hug and a kiss on the forehead. All the while, the other three just stood there staring.
Clearing his throat, Miroku came up to her and nervously smiled. "Kagome, I'm sorry I left you alone during the Winter Festival to go with Kikyou. Even though I don't remember how that happened, but I'm still sorry that things had happened to you like that." "Kikyou drugged you too." Naraku pointed out to him. "It's ok Miroku; we were both not all there anyway." Kagome gave him a hug too, and kissed him on the cheek. It was Sango's turn, but all she did was hug Kagome while she cried. Gagging on her sobs, "I'm-I'm sorry th-that I left you alone for Matt. I don't e-even know what I-I saw in him in the f-first place." Kagome rubbed her back. "Don't worry about it Sango. He was your real first steady boyfriend. I'm not mad at you." They hugged more and started to giggle when they looked at each other's faces. Apparently, their make up was running and they looked hilariously awful.
Inuyasha fidgeted and said quietly, "I'm sorry for leaving all of you for Kikyou. I was blind to see what kind of person she really was. Can you forgive me?" Kagome, Miroku, and Sango glomped him saying all together, "We've missed you!" Inuyasha sweat dropped and chuckled. "I missed you guys too. So does that mean our group is back together?" They embraced each other tighter. "Nothing will ever come between us ever again, and if it does, then. we weren't true friends to start with." Kagome said. "I love you guys." Miroku said while his hands had made their way slowly down both Kagome's and Sango's backs. "Pervert!" *WHAM* "Lecher!" *WHAM* Oh yes, Miroku was sporting two signature red handprints on both his cheeks, but the entire time he was grinning merrily. "Some things never change." Inuyasha muttered shaking his head. "I'm glad things are still the same in some ways." Miroku added.
"Well, I guess I'll see you guys later." Naraku said digging in his pants for his keys. "Wait, if it's all right with everyone else, we should all go out to eat at the place we'd always go to before." Kagome turned to her friends and Miroku and Sango just smiled while Inuyasha stated, "I don't see anything wrong with it. Who's driving?" "Oh, oh, let me drive your car please Naraku." Kagome begged. "We all can fit in there and I know how to get there the fastest." Thinking for a moment about letting Kagome drive his precious Lexus was a bit nerve racking, because he never let anyone drive it. Not even his mother. "I trust that you won't kill us all." Naraku chuckled as he tossed the keys to her. She squealed happily and they all trotted off to his car.
Inuyasha: what's a Lexus?
A/N: it's a car
Shippou: what's a car?
A/N: *sighs* ask Kagome
Kouga: why do I have such an insignificant part? I mean. I am the leader of a whole wolf tribe, I'm strong, more handsome than Inuyasha, and smarter too
A/N: *sighs again* just shut up Kouga because you got a bigger part than Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru: ;.; don't you love me anymore?
Everyone but Sesshomaru: O.O
A/N: are you feeling ok Sesshomaru?
Sesshomaru: ;.; do I look like I'm ok?
A/N: no. you are a lot more OOC here than in the fic. what happened? did I break you?
Sesshomaru: No, because, I Lord Sesshomaru, cannot be broken by a mere ningen
A/N: *begins to cry* you don't love me anymore!
*sighing Sesshomaru bends down over the A/N and whispers something so quiet in her ear that not even Kouga or Inuyasha can't hear, but it does cause the A/N to blush brightly*
Sesshomaru: for your sake I'm being OOC. or it's just because you write me that way
A/N: ok! ^________^... wait, darn... anyways..... yes, I know. there most likely aren't formal dances for college, but just think of it as a big bash that the alumni throw because they have nothing else better to do or pretend it's a fancy fund raiser?. and I didn't write this based on when they are in high school because then it would defeat the purpose of the end of the fic. go read the last chapter!!
