Prom Problems

Chapter 2: emergency meeting

Sure enough, when Kagome got home, Inuyasha was waiting in her room to fire another round of insults at her. Kagome sighed as Inuyasha drew in breath for the first attack. "What did you think you were doing sneaking off like that wench!? We have to collect the jewel shards!!" His arguments went on but Kagome wasn't listening anymore, she was thinking of her boy troubles. "Are you even listening?!" Inuyasha demanded. "No" was all Kagome said before dragging her self wearily to her bed. "I came home sick from school Inuyasha, and only 12 days till... well, my friends are coming over tonight so can I please get some rest in peace?" "FINE WENCH!! You're useless!!" but Kagome was already asleep

~*that night*~

Kagome woke when she heard the doorbell ring. She was surprised to notice her hand clutching the jewel shards about her neck and her throat feeling like new. 'Did the jewel shards heal me?' She wondered, amazed, but didn't have time to dwell on it as her bedroom door flung open and concerned friends crowded around her. "Are you okay Kagome?"

"Yeah, actually I feel absolutely fine... except for my little problem" Kagome slipped to the floor, remembering the reason she had called her friends here. "We're here for you Kagome, let's get down to helping you choose" Eri and Yuka smiled encouragingly at her but Ayami was frowning slightly. "What about that boyfriend of yours? The one who's still chasing after his ex. I think you called him... Inuyasha?" Kagome was taken aback by Ayami's openness and the idea of taking Inuyasha to the prom. "I-I don't know, I guess..." Kagome ran to her calendar, the one with the moon phases of each day and traced her finger along to the night of the prom, sure enough, it was a new moon. "I should really talk to him" Kagome frowned, like Inuyasha would ever say yes. He was such a jerk. "Well, while your waiting to do that let's choose a back up, in case he can't" Eri said cheerfully "or won't" Yuka added, rolling her eyes that her friend would choose such a jerk for her first boyfriend.

Right as the girls began debating who was the cutest, nicest, and all around best date, Inuyasha showed up, on the roof right above Kagome's window. He stopped, realizing what they were talking about and leaned forward, for once interested in what Kagome's gossipy friends had to say.

~*the next morning, in the Sengoku Jidai*~

"She's been looking at those 'magazines' all day, I wonder what's in them" Sango cocked her head at Miroku and Inuyasha, knowing at least one of them had stolen a look. "Dresses, lots of very beautiful ones too." Miroku smirked at Sango's unsurprised, knowing smile. "But why?" Sango said reflectively. "Something called a 'prom' I heard her and her friends talking about people for Kagome to 'take-out' to it. Apparently her friends haven't been asked yet, but Kagome's been asked by three people." Miroku and Sango looked shocked that Inuyasha had eavesdropped.
