High School Reunion
Chapter Two
Prom Interlude
Even though he had barely talked to her all she could think was of him.
And already plans for the prom was under way.
Sango was going to the prom with Miroku only because he had called her and told her some sappy excuse so she had to go with him (something to do with failing her trig exam and telling her mom if she rejected).
And Sango's mom wasn't very lenient when it came to Sango's grades.
It was only a dance right?
It wasn't like she was going to fall in love with him right?
But Sango didn't seem entirely upset by the situation of going with Miroku.
Kagome was still hopeful because a quiet but kind boy had just asked her to prom.
It didn't seem that all was lost she still had someone to go with even though it wasn't the one she wanted to go with.
It was lunchtime and Sango and Kagome were outside; sitting underneath a tree talking while eating their lunch.
"Hey Kagome how's finding a date for your prom going?" Sango asked while picking off the crust of her sandwich.
For some odd reason Sango had always and absolutely detested the crust.
"I'm going with Hojo; he's the boy that sits across from us in drama." Kagome said nonchalantly.
"Oh he's nice. He's a little too nice but hey better than that jerk Inuyasha huh? (Kagome looked at Sango and gave a false smile) Well do you have a dress yet?"
"Yeah I made it. It's black with sequins and has all these extensive beading. It took so long to make, you want to come over and see it?" Kagome said hopefully.
Because if Sango came over it most likely meant Kagome would get out of cleaning the shrine.
Sango finished her crust less sandwich and took a swig of her water and nodded her head yes. "I'll come over tomorrow and we can try our dresses on and see how they look. Do you have shoes to go with it?"
Kagome thought for awhile before answering Sango. "Well I have these shoes my grandmother gave to me before she passed on, they're black high heels but I don't know if they'll fit, but come on over anyways my mom got us some hair style books from her beauty salon so we can pick out how we want it done."
"Yeah that'll be great I can't wait Kagome this is going to be the best prom ever! I'm going to go get me some more bottled water, I'm really thirsty. I'll be right back, okay?"
As Sango left Kagome gathered her and Sango's garbage and threw it out at the nearest garbage can and plopped under the same spot they were sitting daydreaming about a certain someone.
While Sango was getting bottled water a person quickly approached her.
"Hello. Sango, excited for prom since we are going together."
While this being said Miroku grabs Sango bottom and gives a slight squeeze. SMACK!
"You know if you keep that up Miroku I won't go with you even if you did tell my mother that I failed my exam, because you be slaughtered before you even have a chance to tell her!" said Sango murderously.
(Saturday Morning at Kagome's House) "Kagome get up! Grandpa wants you to help him sweep the shrine today and you still have to go to my salon to pick up those hairstyle books you wanted to borrow."
"Okay mom! I'll be up just give.Me.A.Minute." Kagome groaned as she struggled to get out of bed, she wished she and Sango never went to the party last night, it had wiped Kagome out, but worst of all it pained her to see Inuyasha with Kikyo at the party.
It was confusing Kagome had never ever felt like this for anyone, let alone a boy she hardly knew. Why Inuyasha? Kagome thought, why not someone who was available.
It was the question that began it all.
(In Kagome's room, a few hours later after Kagome's chores being done)
Sango and Kagome were in her room trying on their dresses. "Sango! Your dress it's amazing." It was a maroon halter dress with sequins and bugle beads.
The dress fitted Sango like it was her second skin, but never revealing too much. It was the perfect fit.
"Yours too Kagome! You look drop dead gorgeous! I mean the dress, I can't believe you made it it's." Sango trailed off too astonished at Kagome's handwork.
"Thanks Sango and thank you for everything, like being my friend, smacking Miroku for me on the first day."
And the girls broke down in laughter making the friendship bond even closer.
There was only a day left till the prom, and word was already spreading that Inuyasha was going with Kikyo.
Jealous girls gave intense dislike looks at Kikyo, the girls who had hope that Inuyasha would pick them for prom dates.
Kikyo merely glared at the girls and then walked away.
Kagome walked down the long hall way glancing at the looks the girls were giving Kikyo, and heading straight out the door where Sango was waiting for Kagome.
"Hey Kag, what's up?" said Sango seeing Kagome's face.
Kagome shrugged her shoulders and said "Nothing just those girls in there give me the creeps."
"They're just jealous, Inuyasha's hard to get and they like hard to get guys. Besides they're mad because he never gave them a chance, but who would their bimbos or just plain stupid. I mean the guy's not even famous and they ask him for autographs."
"Inuyasha has a fan club? Weird!" Kagome shook her head in disbelief.
"I know but he likes the attention. That makes him even more thickheaded. Or worse a total macho meat head."
And the girls drove off making last minutes changes for the prom and joking about Inuyasha's fan club.
(The day of the prom)
Hojo had called Kagome he said he was coming with Miroku in thirty minutes.
Meanwhile Kagome was helping Sango with her hair and adding in the clips to hold certain hairpieces in place.
"I'm so excited Kagome, I mean the prom, it's going to be a night to remember." Sango said excitedly while pushing in the clips to hold the loose wisps of hair back.
"Yeah." Kagome said weakly.
The girls were both ready and getting their purses when the doorbell rang. Ding! Dong!
"I'll get it girls!" said Kagome's mother. The guys were let in and standing by the doorway waiting for their dates to come down, when the girls came down the stairs. Sango in front of Kagome; coming down the stairs slowly trying not to trip in their heels.
Miroku was the first one to speak "Sango you look beautiful." And took her hand and gently kissed the back of it He then whipped out a clear plastic box in which it held a corsage.
Sango tried hard not to blush.
Because despite the fact that she hated Miroku, slowly he was beginning to make her feel things for him that she had never felt before.
And it was hard not to.
With his sultry violet eyes, a smile that swept your heart away, and his touch.
Especially his touch.
Then Kagome came all the way down and stood in front of Hojo.
She inhaled in deeply and plastered on a fake smile, trying to hide her disappointing face.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go to the prom with Hojo.
It was the fact that he wasn't quite Inuyasha.
Sure Hojo was nice and quiet. And very reserved.
This also meant that Hojo was a little too plain and boring.
"Kagome. You're absolutely gorgeous, I'm so lucky to have the privilege of taking you." Said Hojo and took Kagome's hand in his and led her to the other couple.
And with that being said he put on Kagome's corsage on her right wrist and kissed her on the cheek.
Kagome smiled back politely and held Hojo's hand and posed for a picture.
After a few pictures taken by Kagome's mother and few unnecessary comments made by Souta, the couples filed out of Kagome's house and went in the limo to go to their next destination.
The prom was being held at a hotel ballroom.
The hotel was near the school.
Kagome's side of the car door opened and Hojo held out a hand to Kagome to assist her out of the car, while Miroku did the same with Sango.
'Well at least Hojo is a gentleman' thought Kagome and gracefully took Hojo's hand and went inside the hotel.
Following the signs to the hotel ballroom, Kagome looked around the whole place was covered in streamers and balloons, and one big sign over the entrance doorway to the ballroom saying Sengoku Jidai High School Prom.
Hojo led Kagome into the ballroom. Kagome saw the brightly lit room and gasped. It was beyond words, the tables were decorated and sprinkled with white rose petals and in the center of the tables were lit candles giving a pleasant aroma.
The ballroom was also covered with streamers and balloons, while the floors were also sprinkled with red petals and silver confetti.
There was also a big sign that hung on the ceiling saying 'Sengoku Jidai High School Prom'.
Kagome looked at Sango who was also in awe of the surroundings too.
Then Miroku led Sango to the dance floor and started to dance.
Kagome looked over to Hojo who seemed nervous.
Kagome broke the ice.
"Hojo you want to dance?" Kagome questioned.
"Sure let's go Kagome" and led her to the dance floor nearby Miroku and Sango, and unfortunately to Kagome's dismay near Inuyasha and Kikyo too.
Kagome tried looking away but couldn't help herself.
Inuyasha was wearing a black Armani tuxedo making him look even more attractive.
While Kikyo was wearing a red dress which had a lot of rhinestones and sparkles on it.
Apparently Kagome wasn't the only one looking at Inuyasha and secretly drooling over him, his fan club was too.
Kagome looked away trying to wash away her feelings for him.
She was with Hojo and was going to try to have a good time.
After a few dances Kagome and Hojo decided to go to their assigned table and eat something.
Kagome was finished eating and looking out at the dance floor, while Hojo was munching down on dinner still.
There in the center was Inuyasha with Kikyo.
Inuyasha had his eyes closed while dancing with Kikyo to a slow dance.
He seemed happy and at peace.
Kagome knew that then and there she would not have a chance with Inuyasha unless a miracle had happened.
Her heart slowly broke.
While Hojo had excused himself to the little boys' room, Kagome stood by the punch bowl waiting patiently.
Kagome dipped the ladle into the punch bowl and poured it into a cup.
She took a sip and turned around only to bump into Inuyasha.
Kagome froze and then a sudden wave of courage hit her.
She smiled at him and tilted her head back a little.
"Sorry I didn't mean to hit you. I didn't spill any punch on you did I?" said Kagome apologetically.
Her hand gripped the punch bowl table tightly.
His very presence of being near her was intoxicating her.
She could smell his cologne which smelled of pines and the outdoors.
And his eyes, which were purely golden. In them she could she herself.
Her body tensed when he came closer towards her.
Her heart beated wildly.
Like a flame lit in the dry savannah. It soon spreaded intensifying to heights that never had been reached before.
He smiled, instantly his eyes softening and Kagome's knees weakening.
"Its fine, you didn't get any on me." Inuyasha smiled and stepped back to show her that his suit was undamaged.
Kagome laughed and then set her cup on the table and looked at the ground.
"So how's your night going?" Kagome asked in a soft quiet tone.
Inuyasha looked out into the crowd that was dancing and said "It's going well? You?"
Kagome shrugged her shoulders and replied "Fairly good. Well see you around."
"Yeah.See you around Higurashi." Inuyasha winked at her one last time before Kagome left.
Releasing out a deep breath of air she put a hand to her heart.
It wouldn't stop beating so fast.
Even when she had distanced herself between him.
Then she saw Hojo standing near the middle of the dance floor. She waved at him to indicate that she was here.
He walked over to her and gave a shy smile.
The magical night ended three in the morning.
After the prom was over Kagome and Sango went to Kagome's house, while their dates decided to go to Inuyasha's after party at his new house that his parent's had gotten him.
Too tired the girls declined. The guys dropped off the girls and kissed them goodnight with promises of calling later on.
After changing into their pajamas and freshening up the girls went to bed quickly too tired from dancing, and giving their aching feet a rest.
The next morning Kagome and Sango woke up around two in the afternoon and watched some movies in Kagome's room, still sore from dancing the previous night before.
After the movie was over Sango looked at Kagome. "What are you going to do once you're out of school?"
"I don't know Sango, maybe go to college or take a break.I don't know but let's do something together." Kagome said feeling inspired by the movie they had just watched together.
"Deal." Sango said.
