Ch.2 Party Too Hard
Miroku drove me home which was unpleasant enough, though it would have been a whole lot worse if Inuyasha hadn't been there to "chaperone", lucky for me he decided it wasn't a good idea for Miroku and I to be in the same car, alone, without any body else. So as we were getting into the car Inuyasha runs ahead of me and open the door to the back seat (like a gentle man how cute!), and after I was in he took the passenger seat next to Miroku. Though I must say Miroku didn't seem to like this because he put on his best innocent face and pouted "What? You don't trust me?"
Inuyasha smiled "Of coarse not" as he buckled the seat belt.
I think Inuyasha kept Miroku at bay because I only got a few minimal compliments and he kept his eyes (and hands for that matter) far away from me.
As I was stepping out of the car Inuyasha offered to pick me up and drive me to the party tonight.
"Yes!" I said (maybe I was just a little too enthusiastic) and I turned and ran into the house while waving hoping to death that he didn't see me blush.
A half an hour later I could be found in my room trying to pick out an outfit for the party I knew nothing about the nature of the party so I was pretty much clueless about what I should wear.
"Kagome! Phone!" I heard Souta yell from downstairs.
"Coming" I hollered back and flew down the stairs grabbing the phone from my little brother.
"Gee thanks Souta for not hanging up on my stupid friends" he mumbled annoyed slinking down the hall.
"Kagome? That you?" I heard Sango ask.
"Yah its me, I'm glad you called, um what type of party is it gonna be?" I asked trying not to sound like an idiot.
"Oh yah I forgot to tell you, well since it's suppose to be warm out tonight the dancing part will be out side and uh inside well there will be T.V. and pool and food n stuff you know the ordinary. Just dress casual ok?"
"Sure thanks um anything else?"
"Uh well not really uh yah I guess not… k well see ya there" she ended cheerfully.
"Yah, uh bye" I finished. I wonder what that was about she clearly didn't call me to tell me about the party but I don't think she really wanted to tell me the real reason she called, oh well got to get back to picking out those clothes.
When 7:45 rolled around I had finally picked out an outfit (to you who want to know a pair of denim hip huggers and a halter top with this circle pattern thingie on it) and was waiting near the window for Inuyasha to pick me up. Truth be told I was pretty nervous about going after all I kind of did want to make a good impression on these people.
A red mustang pulled up to our house and out stepped a very cute looking nervous Inuyasha, wait did I just say nervous? Ok so maybe I have only known him for a day but he seemed like one of those guys who was never nervous and always sure of himself, a little bit like Miroku except in a less lecherous perverted way.
Well anyway he rang the doorbell and I had to tear my eyes away from him long enough for me to get up and open up the door.
Shy Inuyasha was gone smug Inuyasha was back "You look cute, are you ready to go?"
"Thanks, yah I'm ready but what about the fashionably late rule?" I asked. He looked at me strangely for a moment before realizing what I had said.
"Oh um since it's kind of at Sango's house she doesn't really care if we follow that rule so uh lets go I'm starved", oh what can I say, typical guy response.
His car was really comfy he had put in those cushiony things that you can attach to the seats, and I sunk into them a little he looked over at me and smirked, "comfy?"
"Ah huh" I blushed and buckled the seat belt.
We talked about sports, he was a really athletic guy (as if I couldn't tell from those muscles), he was on most of the school teams but he didn't seem like a typical jock. When he asked me what type of sports I played I was a little embarrassed since I only did archery and soccer.
He looked over at me and grinned "What no cheerleading?" Oops there's a little detail I forgot but I didn't want him to see me as some bimbo who jumped around in a short skirt (not that I think that's what cheerleaders are mind you because I was one but I just didn't want people to have any reason to assume that).
"Uh, no" liar, liar pants on fire, lets just hope he never sees my old uniform or trophies for that matter.
When we arrived at the party I walked in with Inuyasha guessing that there would be very few people there… boy was I wrong, as soon as we walked in a boy with light brown hair came over and grinned at me" Inuyasha how did you manage to get such a gorgeous girl to come with you, what did you do kidnap her?"
Inuyasha blushed "Er no I'm just her friend, she's new and I gave her a ride."
"Well in that case" he smiled at me "I'm Hojo" he reached out and shook my hand "would you like to dance" I looked back at Inuyasha who just shrugged and looked away.
"Sure" I smiled as he dragged me out to the dance floor. He danced well uh interestingly it took all of my will power to keep from bursting out laughing, He looked like he was having muscle spasms, But though I wasn't laughing I was smiling and Hojo I think took this as a sign of encouragement and began to "dance" (if you could call it that) with more vigor, and it didn't help mind you that Inuyasha was over by a tree laughing his head off.
"May I cut in" I looked up and saw Miroku who was smiling pleasantly.
"Uh yah sure" Hojo looked crestfallen "catch you later Kagome" he winked as he wandered away.
"Thanks" I nearly snorted I doubled over with laughter if I had kept it in any longer I would have exploded.
"Sure" Miroku said calmly looking at me, interested as dropped to my knees and began rolling on the floor "you ok" he asked as if he was sincerely concerned since I was now not breathing. A few seconds later I was back on my feet again still snickering but at least I was standing.
"Hey now can I have that dance?" Miroku looked so innocent and adorable I wanted to hug him, but him being well Miroku I just decided to nod instead.
A slow song came on, that pretty much sums it up and as you can probably guess Miroku ended up with some pretty good red marks if I do say so myself (and I do cuz I said it).
"Miroku! Could you please keep your hand away from my butt, it's kind of ruining the dance"
"Well maybe for you" he mumbled.
"WHAT!" I slapped him so hard that for a second I was afraid I gave him a concussion, oh that'd look good; what caused this head injury? Oh a girl hit him for saying he enjoyed touching her butt (as the paramedics pulled him away on a stretcher muttering something about vengeful girls).
I felt my self being pulled away from Miroku (Hallelujah Hallelujah) I looked over to see Sango getting me away from Miroku.
"Better?" she grinned looking over at a confused dizzy (I didn't hit him that hard) Miroku.
"Much" I smiled until I heard unusually squeaky voices come in over the speakers and looked to see Sango get really really pissed off.
"Shippou I told you not to play those stupid chipmunk idiot songs" she stormed off and all of a sudden I felt very bad for Shippou.
"Hey there Kagome what are you doing here all alone I would have thought for sure that an attractive girl like you would be off dancing with the rest of the guys here" Kouga said leaning against the punch table I once again flushed bright red.
I suddenly became very thirsty and reached for a cup of that punch, (bad idea very very bad idea) and gulped it down, Kouga gave me a weird look but shrugged it off when I downed another cup of punch I don't know why I kept drinking it I didn't care for the taste much but I couldn't stop drinking it.
After my 8th cup (or maybe it was my 9th) Kouga and I began to chat again that is until he saw a still-frustrated-at-Shippou-for-acting-like-an-idiot Sango heading in our direction, and let me tell you something she did not look happy. He said a quick goodbye and scurried off.
Gulp, I was sure I was in my twenties now (in how many cups of "punch" I had had) and I was beginning to feel a little bit dizzy.
"He is hiding in the tree!" Sango said furiously pointing at a scared little Shippou sitting on a tree branch. "That little brat well he'll have to come down somti-" she stared at the cup in my hands By now I was having trouble keeping my balance. "Kagome is that the punch?" I nodded (still swaying I might add) "how many of those have you had?"
"Bout a hundred" I said right now I felt extremely happy with the world (and of coarse still swaying) I saw her jaw drop.
"What exactly happened Kogome?" She said looking really concerned.
"Well see" I began focusing really hard on what had just happened "cuz see Kouga was talking and uh I was, wait what was I doin again?" I mumbled to my self "yah yah I was drinkin this" I pointed at the punch.
"Kagome Stay right here ok I'll be right back ok?" she was talking to me as if I was three. I nodded in annoyance. Just as she hurried off Inuyasha came over to me and noticed my swaying.
"Kagome what happened are you ok?" he looked genuinely worried.
"I'm fine" I smiled as my favorite song came on, I began to pull Inuyasha towards the dance floor "You wanna dance?" I asked in an innocent little baby voice because of the strange look he was giving me.
"Are you sure you're fine?" he asked again.
"Yeah I'm just a little bit dizzy" I smiled and leaned against him, I could see him blushing (ha I made someone else blush). I wrapped my arms around him. All of a sudden it felt like my legs couldn't hold me up any longer and I began to fall It felt as if I was going to fall forever (I'm not exactly sure what made me think that but I guess I didn't notice Because I was thinking many other things that were quite weird too, including seeing Sango With a large boomerang and Inuyasha with a pair of dog ears).
I felt a pair of strong hands grab me by the waist and pull me back into reality.
"That's it were going home" He looked me strait in the eye and I could tell that nothing I could do would change his mind. Sango came over and whispered something in Inuyasha's ear and he looked at me once again worried, and his expression softened.
He sat me down for a second "I'll be right back". Why do people keep telling me that it's not as if I need to be constantly watched.
I looked up and saw a girl staring at me coldly "Stay away from Inuyasha, you know you have got some nerve, coming here new and all and then draping yourself all over other peoples guys" I noticed she didn't say boyfriends, what could that mean "well here this slut, if you're gonna mess around with the guys at this school just make sure you stay away from mine ok? If you don't I swear I'm gonna make your life hell." She walked off as she saw Inuyasha approach. She turned to sneer at me one more time but Inuyasha was already picking me up and carrying me to his car, as discreetly as possible.
He put me down carefully in the car as if I was made of glass, and got into his own seat. We drove for a few minutes in silence… till I asked about the girl.
"Kikyo" he muttered, I gave him a confused gaze "Uh well see a few months ago at this party" he looked over at me nervously "I got well really drunk, and I was walking around talking about unicorns, well that's what Sango tells me, Miroku says it was leprechauns anyways, over the coarse of the night I professed my love to well three people who just happened walk by, one was Kikyo, one was Sango and the other…" he looked over at me nervously again "was um Miroku." He looked over at me and of course I was laughing, what else would you expect me to do.
"Yah ha ha ha, we'll see how funny it is tomorrow when we tell you all the stuff you did tonight" he sniggered. He pulled the car to a stop and got out and came around to get me. As I was leaning out of the car fatigue over came me and my body went limp.
I blinked a few times, I was in someone's arm and we were back at the party. I saw a guy walk up to us.
"Eh Inuyasha been having a little too much fun?" the guy asked I noticed (it was hard to tell my vision was still blurry) that this guy had the same silvery white hair as Inuyasha.
"Oh shut up Sesshoumaru, who invited you anyways?" I saw the man shrug and walk away. I fell back out of consciousness.
Authors Note- Ok some people want to know why did Kagome move? Well that will become clearer but I'll give you a few hints, number one the whole grandma dying thing was the last event in series of problems but it was the final push, the first was the death of Kagome's father and the major one was one of her grandfather's spells backfiring and cursing their shrine eventually killing the Grandfather.
Also In case you haven't already figured it out someone spike the punch, and Kagome had never had alcohol before. Also I have a bad feeling I misspelled Hojo's name. Oh and one other thing thank you everyone for reviewing this you really helped (and I did fill a few requests including a want to see Sesshoumaru and Kikyo) thanx a lot oh yah I write quickly with these considering how I did the first two in a few hours so check up often bye.
Miroku drove me home which was unpleasant enough, though it would have been a whole lot worse if Inuyasha hadn't been there to "chaperone", lucky for me he decided it wasn't a good idea for Miroku and I to be in the same car, alone, without any body else.
