A/N: Ok, everyone, I know your going to be sad, but this is in fact my last chapter in this story. T_T *weeps* But, I still except reviews! It's not like I'm gonna disappear forever! ;) and also, be on the look out for more of my fics! I have 2 new ones coming soon!

Disclaimer:

Me: As much as it pains me to say it, I will succumb to the fact that I never have, and never will, own the wonderful series that is Inuyasha.

Inu Gang: YYYAAAAYYY!!!

Inuyasha: You used a lot of big words there... -_-;;

Me: ^_^ Enjoy this chap!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome and Inuyasha were oblivious to the fact that each was running from a person; Inuyasha from Maeko, and Kagome from Hojo.

A slow song played over the speakers, and people who had been dancing to the fast paced songs began to clear the floor for other couples who wanted to dance with each other in a more formal manner.

Kagome saw this as a great opportunity to get away from Hojo and get another chance to dance with Inuyasha, only this time it would be nicer and not as energy consuming.

She took a hold of Inuyasha's hand and dragged him into a large group of people headed for the dance floor. In the blink of an eye, the two vanished into the crowd.

Just seconds after the two disappeared into the band of dancers, Maeko and Hojo both arrived at the spot where Kagome and Inuyasha once stood.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oh, she disappeared." Hojo sighed in dissapointment.

"Ugh. Now where'd he go?" Maeko huffed, annoyed at the all the trouble she was going through just to get to that boy again. What was his name—Inu- washa? Weird name for such a cute guy. (beta note: *whines* not you too!) (authoress note: mwahaha! ...hey, stop leaving random notes in my fic!)

Then, she saw him. One of the cutest guys she'd ever seen. There was no doubt about it; she HAD to talk to him, or perhaps dance with him.

"Well, hello there," she said flirtatiously, scooting up to him.

Hojo hesitated, but gave Maeko a friendly smile and responding, "Hey."

"You seem like a really nice guy," Maeko continued, wrapping her arms around his. "Why don't we go and dance?"

"Um, sure." He half escorted, half was dragged by, the strange clingy girl to the dance floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You could pick out Inuyasha and Kagome from the crowd easily if you looked hard enough; they were the only couple on the dance floor not dancing.

Kagome tried to coax him to dance with her even a little bit as the song ended and another slow one played in its place.

"Come on Inuyasha, It's easier than the other dances. You really just stand in one spot the whole time."

"No, I've had my fair-share of dancing experiences for one night."

Kagome's lowered lip trembled and her eyes began to get misty. "Do it for me, Inuyasha. Pease?" she whimpered.

Inuyasha was once again taken off guard by her tears. "I-I'm...b-b-but I can't... Oh, fine." He dropped his head in defeat. "But I warn you, I haven't exactly danced like that before." He motioned towards the couple dancing next to them.

"Oh, it's really easy. I'll put my hands here." She rested her wrists on his shoulders so that her hands clasped behind his neck. "Now you put your hands on my waist." She removed one of her hands from its spot to help guide his unsure ones to the proper place on her waist. Then, as she was returning to her original position, Kagome found the beat to the music playing and began to sway back and forth. "Now, you just move in time to the music. Just like this."

Inuyasha caught on quickly, and soon they were dancing together just like everyone else. Occasionally he thought he saw Maeko's head bob through the crowd, but it was nothing to worry about since that meant she had found some other poor guy to stalk.

Kagome had also spotted Hojo dancing, which meant that he'd be off her back for a while.

Then, suddenly, the peacefulness of the dance was disrupted as a girly scream echoed throughout the room, and Inuyasha and Kagome somehow managed to get a clear view of the cause of the ruckus.

It was Maeko and Hojo, dancing, but apparently Maeko must have stepped on his foot, or something like that. She lost her balance and stumbled backwards into a boy holding a plate of pizza and a cup of pop, both of which ended up all over her dress. As she stumbled away with a screech, she manged to trip over someone else's foot, falling into a table that had on it a large sheet cake that had once read "Dance the night away!" or something stupid like that—the teachers had chosen it, not Kagome. The table jolted upward sending the cake flying through the air and landing—you guessed it—right on top of Maeko's head.

Hojo ran over to his now cake-covered partner and attempted to help up her, saying something like, "Oh my gosh, how awful! Are you okay?" Of course, hurt pride is enough to make anybody definitely NOT okay, so Maeko slapped Hojo's outstretched hand out of the way, jumped up, and stormed off.

While all this was happening, most of the dancing had stopped. Inuyasha and Kagome had let go of each other while staring in fascination at the scene before them. Now the D.J., who had apparently stopped the music while all this was happening, played a different slow song to make up for the one cut short.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, and looked back down at her. The hilarity of the situation got to them, and they both laughed a little as they prepared to continue dancing.

Kagome let her hands slide down from behind Inuyasha's neck to his shoulder blades and cuddled herself into his body, resting her cheek on his chest. "This night has been great Inuyasha, don't you think?" she asked quietly, closing her eyes.

"Mm-hm," he replied, embracing her in a small hug while they danced together. The mood was just right, and it seemed like that moment was all for them.

One word could describe what the two were feeling just then, and it ran as one thought ran simultaneously through their minds.

Perfect.
