"Come on Kagome, we're gonna be late for the dance!" Inu-Yasha called up the stairs. " and you know how Miroku hates waiting."
"I'm coming, keep your pants on!" Kagome called back.
She came down five minutes later wearing a strapless white dress that was decorated like a ming vase. She also wore white high healed shoes that did up around her ankles. Kagome had put her hair into a bun and secured it black chopsticks. "Well, how do I look?" she asked putting her arms around Inu-Yasha's neck.
"You look amazing puppy, as always." Inu-Yasha whispered "But where are your ears? why aren't they on your head?"
Kagome sighed and said "Well, you that I'm a hanyou right?"
Inu-Yasha nodded while crossing his arms in front of him.
"Well once a month, I become full human, meaning my ears disappear, my fangs go away, and my eyes turn violet."
"Oh, well I'm glad that I'm not the only one who goes through it." Inu- Yasha smiled giving Kagome a kiss.
"I'm glad you like." Kagome replied giving him a kiss on the nose, "Now let's get going."
Kagome led the way out of the house and down the shrine steps, and over to her new cherry red Mercedes SUV, which her uncle had given her for her birthday. (A/N: I don't know if Mercedes come in cherry red, but this is my fanfic so :P) "So, what do you think of my new SUV?" Kagome asked, after she and Inu- Yasha got in.
"Wow, where on earth did you get the money for this?" Inu-Yasha gasped as he looked around.
"It was a gift from my Uncle Kei. He's the one who owns the big computer software company, Higurashi Inc. I'm his only niece, so for my birthday last week, he called me and told me to meet him at the dealership, so I went down to meet him. When I arrived he told me that in honour of my eighteenth birthday he was going to buy me a new car, and that price was not an option. I just smiled, but before I could say anything, he told me that I could pick out whatever I wanted. I threw my arms around him and said thank you. After that, I took off in search of my dream car, and after an hour of searching, I found this SUV, and told my uncle Kei that this was what I wanted. He said ok, and about two hours later, I drove it home."
"Your uncle just bought you a new car? Just like that?"
"Just like that. Like I said, I'm his only niece and he wanted to do something special for me; although I must admit, I thought it was a bit much, but I figured that it was something he wanted to do."
"I'm happy for you." Inu-Yasha replied in a somewhat hesitant voice.
"Inu-Yasha, what wrong?" Kagome asked, looking concerned.
"Nothing, really. I'm fine."
"You're lying."
"How could you tell?"
"Inu-Yasha, I'm very observant, and the reason I can tell you're lying is because your left ear twitches and glance at your right foot everytime you tell a lie, so waht is bothering you?"
"It was when you were talking about your uncle Kei. He seems like a kind and generous man and hearinghow he bought you this brand new SUV, it made me question wether or not I'm good enough for you."
"Oh, Inu-Yasha. You're the perfect one for me. If I thought you weren't, we wouldn't be here would we?"
Inu-Yasha shook his head. "I guess not. It's jus that I love you so much Kagome, I don't want to lose you . It would hut too much if I ever lost you."
"Inu-Yasha, I had no idea. I love you so much." Kagome exclaimed, giving him a kiss.
"We'd better get going to the dance. We were supposed to pck up Miroku ten minutes ago."
"I guess so."
Kagome started the vehicle and drove away to go pick up Miroku.
Once Kagome had picked up Miroku and his date, a lovely girl by the name of Sango, they drove to a quaint little restraunt called Kaede's. It was a nice little place where you create your own plate and they cook it right in front of you. Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango went up to get their food, and as they were waiting, Inu-Yasha whispered to Miroku, " What do think about Kagome?"
"She's a nice girl, why?" Miroku asked.
"Well, I was thinking about asking her to go to the prom with me in May, and I was also thinking about asking her...well, Im gonna pop the big question on that night."
"Inu, are you crazy? You've know this girl less than six months and you're already thinking about marr..."
"Ssshhh! Don't talk so loud! I don't want her to hear you." Inu-Yasha whispered with a slight blush on his cheeks, "Besides, I really love her and I don't want to lose her. She means the world to me and it would break my heart if something were to happen to her."
"I know how much she means to you Inu, but all I'm trying to say is be careful and don't go rushing into things and be especially careful when you do ask her."
"Ask who what?" Kagome chimed in.
"Oh, nothing, just guy talk." Miroku exclaimed as he grabbed his food.
"Whatever." Kagome shrugged.
