Well, here I am again…big surprise, ne? I don't feel like going to bed…so I'll type another chapter…
MIKO-DEMONESS 14: yes….this is inu/kag…^_^
Chapter 8
Kagome's heart raced. Her thoughts went wild. What can he be thinking? What's he doing? Her face drew a blank, lost, confused look. But on the inside, she was like a sparkler on the Fourth of July.
"Kagome…I…" The nervous hanyou stumbled. His mouth was dry and his face slowly getting redder. "I'd like to ask you…"
"WOULDJA JUST SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Kagome yelled. Her hands on her hips must have shown some of the impatience she was feeling.
"OI! Would you –"
Someone interrupted… "Kagome!" Sango yelled from down the hall. "You coming?" Sango started walking towards where Kagome and Inuyasha were standing.
"Yea, just a sec!" She turned back to the half demon in front of her. "What?" She asked once more.
"*inhales deeply* Would you…-" Inuyasha started. His gaze shifted towards the approaching girl. "Ahem?!"
"Oh, you want privacy? Sorry"…lovebirds…*^_^*" She stopped the few feet she was from them and leaned against a locker.
Inuyasha attempted to whisper this to Kagome: "Would you go to the dance with me?"
In Kagome's world, time was suddenly stopped. The current look on Inuyasha's face was nothing but the pure truth. He held no look of betrayal, lying, cheating, deceit…nothing. She stared him down in her frozen world of still time.
"WHAT?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Sango shouted. She quickly covered her mouth and realized her mistake of eavesdropping.
"Y-you heard?!" Inuyasha shot a glaring death dagger look to her.
Sango tried to suppress her laughter. But…-_-' sadly…it failed. "BOY! WAIT TILL PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT THIS TOMORROW!!!" The amused girl giggled down the hall.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, who was looking at her. Both of their faces went the deepest shade of red you can think of…Boy was tomorrow going to be good or what for those two??!!

Kagome nervously walked up to the school doors. She took a deep breath and walked in slowly. A couple of the people she walked by started whispering, and she couldn't ignore that. Yea, it's probably about me… She sighed inwardly.
As casually as she could, she went to her locker. Lucky for her, she was stopped by some of her old "buddies." "KAGOME! What's this rumor going around that you're going to the dance with dog breath?! Tell me it's not true!" Koga shouted.
Nonchalantly, she turned to face the startled student. "As a matter of fact, I am. Got a problem with that?" She said with a smirk on her face that would scare the dead to death…again…(0_o)
"GHASTLY!" Koga screamed. "THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD GO WITH A LOW LEVEL, SCUM BAG, LAME HALF BREED, PAIN IN THE-"
"KOGA!" Inuyasha shouted. He walked right between the two… putting him and Kagome *awfully* close… "Leave her alone. She was never planning on going with you anyway!"
"Wanna make a bet? Tell him Kagome! How you were planning on going with me!" The boy attempted to argue.
"*sigh* Koga…I never was going with anyone…" Kagome started, but Sango pulled her out of the predicament.
"Come on! Class is about to start!" She raced down the hallway with a suddenly popular girl in her arms, unbeknownst to her…

Miroku leaned over quickly. "It's true? You're actually going to the dance with Inuyasha? Someone actually broke through that thick skull of his?"
Kagome just kind of whispered a real quick "yes" and Miroku sat up quickly before the teacher turned around. The girl quickly turned back to her work, ignoring the glances and stares from some of the students…especially a particular girl…who looked eerily enough like her…that *thought* she was Inuyasha's…
"So it's true…" Miroku whispered to himself. "Hm…I'll be seeing him later…"
All through class, Kagome's thoughts trailed back to him…the one who had first talked to her…the one who saved her…the one who came to see her when no one else would…Settle down, Kagome. It's not a date, he's not your boyfriend, besides, Kikyo's his "unofficial" girlfriend. You're only going as friends…right? Slowly coming back to reality, Kagome realized that everyone was leaving. She packed up her book, pencils and papers and was about ready to leave when Mr. Keemitsoshi stopped her.
"Kagome? Can I speak with you quickly?" He said clearing a few papers from his desk.
"Sure. What do you need?" Kagome asked walking back to her teacher. She shifted her bag on her hip.
"Your grades are really showing an above normal average, and your daily work is really impressing me. You've received all of the highest grades in this class, and even proved better in this class then some of the Sophomores." Mr. Keemitsoshi took a deep breath. "What would you say if I moved you into the next class, with the Sophomores?"
Kagome was shocked, stunned, bewildered…she'd actually be with the upperclassmen? "I-I don't know what to say. I suppose it's okay with me, but I don't know if my Mom would appreciate it…" Kagome spoke softly.
"Well, you ask her about it and tell me sometime this week yet. I have high hopes for you Higurashi. Don't let me down." Mr. Keemitsoshi stood up. "Okay?"
"Uh huh…" The amazed girl walked out of the class room and walked right into a swarm of kids. The started congratulating her about stuff like, "You go, Higurashi" and "Way to go!" and many others. What are they talking about?! Kagome mentally screamed. She pushed her way out of the crowd and headed directly to her next class. But, yet again, she was pulled over by several of the guys, the "popular" guys in school. "Hey, Higurashi, nice job!!" They cheered. "You know, Yomitsu never asks anyone. How'd you do it?" One of the apparent leaders asked.
"Yea, Yomitsu's never asked a girl, not even Kikyo…what did he do?" another asked.
"Well…" She started. "I don't know. He just………asked me." Kagome said.
"Remember, now that you're with him, you're with us." The first guy said. "This is the Big Leagues."
The guys walked off, leaving Kagome very confused. What do they mean? She shrugged her thoughts away and walked the few hallways to her class.
~*~
Though she feared it…dreaded it…hated it…and resented it…Kagome waited for Inuyasha just outside the front doors. Why am I doing this?! She blushed. He's not my *boyfriend* or anything…Kagome stiffened when she saw him coming out the side door. "Hey, Inuyasha!" She yelled catching up with him and walking by his side.
"Feh, what do you want now?" He groaned. The pace didn't change, and neither did he sight fixed on the road ahead of him.
"Well, I can't drive yet, so could you give me a ride home?" Kagome asked.
The hanyou stopped mid-stride. "Don't got a car." He said suddenly, continuing his walk.
"Oh, well…See ya, I guess…" Kagome went off on her own direction, heading home.
Inuyasha walked in what people would think his home, but once he reached a certain street downtown, he headed off to his humble little shack on the outskirts of town. Once he was in the suburban area, he let all his strength go into one hard leap off the ground. Why am I being so nice to that girl?! She's only been here for less than a week, and you already asked her on a date, smart one…Inuyasha landed gracefully and ran about half the speed he was capable, letting his worries fly behind him…until her reached his home. Then everything caught up to him.
He slowly made his way to the front door and opened it. "Yo, runt, where'd you go?" He called. The little kitsune made his way from the living room. The little kid had been living with Inuyasha ever since that day not-so-long-ago (heh heh, cuz I don't remember ^_^;).
"Hey, Inu!" Shippo called. He got an evil glare from the hanyou in front of him. That had been his nickname, though, since he had first spent the night.
"Hey, you little pipsqueak…what have I told you about calling me that?!" Inuyasha hissed through gritted teeth. A small "eep" was heard and Shippo took off running. "COME BACK HERE! I HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU YOUR DAILY POUNDING!!"
"Don't hurt me!!!!" Shippo squealed running out the back door.
Sadly, Inuyasha caught the poor little fellow before he exited. "Gotcha!" He said holding him by the little tail.
…All I can say is, Shippo was getting his "daily pounding" when Inuyasha stopped. His head jerked towards the front of the house. Her scent…why is *she* here?????
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
