Chapter 16: Feel The Rhythm, Feel The Beat
It was Monday morning and Kagome snapped awake as her alarm went off. She jumped out of bed, dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom," Kagome yawned. "Good morning, Grandpa."
Her mother and grandfather smiled at her and returned the greeting.
"Kagome!" Souta ran into the kitchen and sat down in a chair. "Are you busy after school today?"
"Yes," she shot him a curious look. "Why do you ask?"
"Well," he dwindled with his fingers. "I was just wondering if you could drop me off at the park before you go where ever you're going to go and then pick me up 1 or 2 hours later. I'll be with my friends so you don't have to worry about kidnapping or anything."
He turned his face towards her and begged, "Please, Kagome? Mom already said I can go, but I can't just walk to the park all by myself with no one- "
"To protect you, right?" Kagome interrupted. He nodded his head and gave her puppy eyes.
"Please?" he pleaded.
She laughed and answered, "Fine."
"You're the best, nee-san!" Souta gave her a bear hug and jumped off his seat.
"Whatever."
*****
"So, are you going?" Sango asked.
"Going where?" Kagome gave her a confused look.
"To the dance, duh!"
"Oh, that. Yeah."
"Can I come by your house and get ready with you?" Sango smiled. "I can meet your family that way too."
"Of course you can," Kagome replied and sighed.
"Thinking about Inu Yasha?" Sango smirked after a few seconds. Kagome gave her a death glare.
"Why would you think that?!" she demanded.
"Because you always sigh so much now," Sango pointed out. "Everybody can see that you like him."
Her best friend blushed at the statement.
"I DO NOT!" Kagome denied.
"WHAT~EVER," Sango grinned and nudged her friend. "You have it bad for him, we all know it."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome screeched and chased her friend around the school entrance court.
Sango ran up the school steps and shouted, "See you in class!"
Kagome took off after her and ran past Kikyo on the way. Kikyo snickered and stuck out a foot. Kagome stumbled to the ground.
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that," Kikyo said sweetly. "My foot just-seemed to wander off."
Kagome stood up and screamed in her face, "SHUT UP, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH!"
She stormed off and left Kikyo outraged.
*****
Kagome stomped into her first period class and slammed her textbooks down on her desk. Sango gulped. Miroku and Inu Yasha jumped back.
"Whoa," Miroku told Kagome. "Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
"I had a perfect morning until your girlfriend and the slut came along," she replied bitterly and took her seat. Kikyo entered the classroom and shot a glare at her.
"What happened between you and Kikyo?" Inu Yasha whispered.
"She made me trip," Kagome snapped.
"Gosh, Kagome calm down."
She looked down at her desk sadly.
"I'm having an awful day so far."
Kagome felt Inu Yasha place a hand on hers. She looked up and saw him smiling. He tightened his grip.
"Brighten up, Kagome," Inu Yasha told her softly. "If you do, it would brighten up MY day."
He took his hand away as the bell rang. Kagome blinked and recalled what he had just said.
'.Brighten up, Kagome. If you do, it would brighten up MY day..'
She shook her head and stared blankly at Mr. Tatewaki as he gave a long lecture.
*****
When lunch finally arrived, Kagome dragged herself into the cafeteria and got her food. As she walked towards her friends' and her table, she stopped in mid-step as she saw what was going on.
"Just because I'm your girlfriend, it doesn't mean that you can touch me anywhere you want to!" Sango pushed Miroku. He scooted towards her again.
"But Sango," he took her hands in his. "At least I'm not touching any other girls now."
SLAP!
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!" she shrieked. Miroku pulled his hands back, which had wandered somewhere else besides her hands. "You may not be touching any other girls, but to make that up, you're touching ME as much as you can!"
Kagome sat down next to Inu Yasha.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"They've been fighting for hours," he explained. "Miroku groped Sango for the 10th time and Sango just got all mad."
Kagome laughed.
"Serves her right for what she talked to me about this morning," she smiled.
"What did she talk about?"
"Oh, nothing..."
*****
School was over and Sango walked with Kagome to Higurashi shrine. Inu Yasha and Miroku had gone off to Inu Yasha's house.
"Did you bring your clothes with you or something?" Kagome asked Sango. She nodded and patted her backpack.
"It's all in here," Sango said grimly.
"Aw," Kagome giggled. "Still mad at Miroku?"
"Heck yeah!" Sango answered. They had reached the shrine and were now climbing up the steps.
"Are you wearing anything fancy?" Kagome asked.
"You'll see," was all she got as a reply.
"Whatever," Kagome rolled her eyes and opened the front door.
"I'm home!" Kagome yelled. She took Sango's arm and dragged her to the kitchen where Mrs. (or is it Ms.?) Higurashi was cooking.
"Hello, dear," Mrs. Higurashi turned around and smiled. "Who's your friend?"
"This is Sango," Kagome said proudly and pushed Sango forward.
"Hi, Mrs. Higurashi," Sango bowed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Sango," Mrs. Higurashi's smile grew bigger. "Well, I better get cooking. I hope to see you again soon."
"You too, Mrs. Higurashi," Sango bowed again and walked off with Kagome. Later, Kagome introduced her to her grandfather and Souta. When they were finally done with the introductions, Kagome and Sango ran upstairs to Kagome's room.
*****
Kagome brushed Sango's long hair tenderly and asked, "How do you want your hair?"
"Put it in a bun," her friend suggested. Kagome nodded and fixed Sango's hair so that it became a tight bun. Sango looked gorgeous. Her outfit was plain, but still, it made her look stunning. Sango was wearing a short black skirt that hugged her hips and she was wearing a dark magenta blouse with a low neckline and with large cuffs at the end of the sleeves.
"You look great," Kagome gave her a small grin.
"Thanks. You do too," Sango stood up from Kagome's bed and told Kagome to sit down so she could do her hair for her now.
"I'll just leave my hair down," Kagome sighed. Sango nodded and brushed her hair anyways. She stood back. Her friend DID look great. Simple outfit, plain hair style, everything like her. Kagome had on a flowing white skirt that reached all the way to her knees and a strapless white tank top which had a golden imprint of a dragon that winded around from the bottom to the top (hey, she's a miko! What other colors do they wear? I know: red. But, duh, Inu Yasha's going to wear red! Sorry, I'm not that big on "fashion").
Kagome and Sango applied on some make up and left the room (*YAWN* Sorry if you're bored. I just want to let you all have a clear picture of them and how they look.). Souta ran up to them and caroled, "I'm REA~DY."
"O~KAY," Kagome took his hand and led him out the door with Sango following.
"Let's go!" the three cheered and began walking towards the steps.
*****
(A/N: It's around 4:00 when the three leave the house. School ended at 2:30.)
After Kagome dropped off Souta, she and Sango dashed into the large gym. The music was booming loud and there was BARELY any light.
"They hung up a disco ball!" Sango pointed up at a huge turning ball. "Tight!"
"This rocks," Kagome agreed. "They have a DJ too."
"Let's dance!" Sango said excitedly. She pulled Kagome onto the dance floor and they both began dancing.
*****
"Hey, Miroku," Inu Yasha tugged at his best friend's sleeve. "There's Sango!"
"Where?!" Miroku asked.
"Over there,"
"Where?"
"Over THERE."
"Where?"
"OVER THERE, YOU DAMN JERK!" Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "Forget it."
He grabbed Miroku's arm and dragged him along.
"Oh! THERE she is! Kagome is with her too!" Miroku smiled and freed his arm.
Inu Yasha shifted his view slightly and saw that Miroku was correct. Kagome was here and she looked so pretty too-like an angel.
"Earth to Inu Yasha," Miroku called out to him and waved a hand in front of his friend's face.
"Huh?" Inu Yasha snapped out of his trance.
"I'm going to go talk to Sango and see if she'll forgive me for my actions earlier today."
"Good luck," Inu Yasha snorted. Miroku took a deep breath and marched through the crowd, towards Sango. Inu Yasha watched as Miroku greeted the girls and then took Sango by the arm and led her away. Kagome waved to them and shouted something out to them before she put her arm back down. He sighed and made his way towards her.
******
"Have fun, you two!" Kagome smirked and put down her arm.
"Kagome," someone murmured behind her. She whirled around and found herself looking up at Inu Yasha's face.
"Hey," she smiled.
"You look great."
"You too," Kagome blushed and looked him over quickly (here we go again). Inu Yasha was wearing a red button-upped collar shirt with an outside leather jacket and black jeans to match with (very simple style, but I don't get all elaborate in clothing that much).
"Let's spy on Miroku and Sango," Inu Yasha said after a few moments of silence.
"Okay. Good idea," Kagome laughed and pulled on his arm. They walked closer to the couple and hid from view while they watched what happened.
*****
"What do you want Miroku?" Sango said bitterly. She took a small glance at him. Boy did he look hot. He was wearing black baggy pants and a purple, short-sleeved buttoned up shirt, except with two buttons at the top left unbuttoned (very plain and simple, which is how I'm going to keep it).
"I want to apologize," he said. "I'm really sorry for what happened today."
"."
"Sango," Miroku murmured and pulled her close to him into an embrace. "I'm sorry I groped you and offended you today."
"And you better not grope me right now!" she snapped, but started to smile. She looked up into his purple eyes (violet, purple, they're the same but it's easier for me this way: Miroku=purple eyes, Inu Yasha=violet eyes).
"Apology accepted," she said softly. Miroku grinned and put his mouth on hers. Sango closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt Miroku tongue poking hers and then felt it explore her mouth. She groaned. Miroku pulled back and smiled.
"Come on, Sango, let's dance."
*****
"Oh, so kawaii!" Kagome whispered. She looked over to her side and saw a smirking Inu Yasha.
"I'm surprised he didn't grope her."
Kagome giggled and took his arm.
"Let's dance Inu Yasha!" she urged him and dragged him into the center of the dance floor. Soon, they got into the dancing mood and were in the spotlight. People turned and stared in awe.
"Are they a couple?" someone nearby asked as the music ended. A slow song came up and many couples got together. Inu Yasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and she draped her arms around his neck.
"You know, you're a great dancer," Kagome smiled.
"Yeah, I am," Inu Yasha replied with a smirk.
"Whatever, Mr. Good Boy," Kagome smirked back.
"You think I'm always a good boy?" he asked innocently.
"Ye~es."
He pulled her closer to him and whispered in her ear, "Oh, really?"
Inu Yasha lowered his head and trailed his tongue down Kagome's neck. She gave a slight jump. He smirked and slowly started to trail kisses along her neck and neckline. Kagome melted in his arms.
"Inu~Yasha?" her voice quivered.
He murmured, "Don't worry, I don't bite.."
She nodded dumbly. He added, "..much."
With that, he gave her a playful nip on the neck. Kagome was breathless and looked up into his face. Violet eyes met her.
'I've-I've been in this position before..' Kagome thought to herself. 'When Inu Yasha and I were about to..'
She trailed off as their faces got closer and closer to each other. Their eyes closed and just when they were about to kiss, someone shouted, "INU YASHA!"
Inu Yasha opened his eyes and looked around. Kagome looked at the floor, blushing and cursing the person who ruined the moment.
"Inu Yasha!" the person shouted again, but a little louder.
"Oh, shit! It's Kikyo!" Inu Yasha moaned. He turned his view towards Kagome and said quickly. "Catch you later, Kagome."
She nodded and he gave her a small smile before he disappeared into the crowd.
"INU YASHA!" Kikyo had reached Kagome.
Kagome covered her ears and hissed, "Shut up! I don't want to become deaf!"
Kikyo glared at her and snapped, "So where's Inu Yasha? Do you know where he is?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Kagome looked up at the ceiling and started whistling.
"I could almost SWEAR I saw him with you."
"Maybe it was just your imagination."
"Yeah, right," Kikyo rolled her eyes. "I'm going to go look for him. INU YASHA!"
"SHUT UP!"
"INU YASHA!" Kikyo ignored her and walked off.
"Slut," Kagome murmured. She looked around for Sango and Miroku. When she finally spotted them, she walked up to Sango and asked, "How much time passed?"
"Hm? Oh, about 2 hours," Sango answered as she looked at her watch.
"Well then, I gotta go," Kagome waved good-bye and walked out of the gym. She shivered as a gust of wind blew by (it's November in this fic! So it's obviously fall, which means it's cold. It's still sunny too, but not that much. I mean, it was 6:00 when she started leaving).
"Guess I better start walking," she sighed. "Man, it's cold!"
Kagome felt someone drape a jacket over her shoulders. She looked over. Inu Yasha.
"Need a ride?" he asked with a grin. She nodded happily and followed him to his jeep.
"On the way to the shrine, can you stop by the park?" Kagome asked shyly.
"Yeah," he replied. "Why do you ask?"
"I need to pick up Souta."
"You mean the squirt?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Okay," he drove to the park where they saw a very sweaty and excited Souta.
"Hey, Inu Yasha!" Souta exclaimed. "Did you two go on a date or something?"
"WHA-" Inu Yasha and Kagome stared at him.
"No, we didn't," Kagome looked down at her lap and blushed. "What made you get that idea?"
"Well, you two are dressed up and-" Souta started.
"We were at a dance," Kagome interrupted. "Now get in here before I tell Inu Yasha to drive away and leave you here in the park-all night-by yourself."
Souta opened up a back door and scrambled onto the back seats.
"Oh, by the way. Why are you sweating?" Kagome asked curiously.
"I was playing soccer," Souta said nervously. His sister laughed and replied, "Then you must have played hard and kicked some major butt if you're sweating this much. You NEVER look sweaty after playing soccer."
"Yeah, never," Souta mumbled. They reached Higurashi shrine and Souta jumped out. Kagome stepped out of the passenger's seat and walked around to the other side and smiled at Inu Yasha through the open driver's window.
"Arigato, Inu Yasha," she looked down slightly.
"Your welcome," he answered. Inu Yasha tilted her chin up with his hand and held her face close to his. She leaned in and they closed their eyes for the second time that day. Kagome felt his breath against hers and she felt his mouth brush slightly against hers.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!" Souta squealed. He began smiling evilly and bellowed out at the top of his lungs. "INU YASHA AND KAGOME SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G. FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MARRIAGE-"
Kagome and Inu Yasha both pulled back and sighed.
"Well, se-see you later Inu Yasha," Kagome stuttered.
"Bye, Inu Yasha!" Souta piped up.
"Bye," he smiled and drove off. Kagome let out a big sigh when his jeep was no longer in sight. She turned to Souta and gave him a death glare.
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" she screamed and chased after him.
A/N: HAHAHA! Well, did you enjoy it? There wasn't as much fluff as I said there'd be, but at least Inu Yasha and Kagome are closer together now. If they kissed in this chapter, it would have ruined the whole ending of this story.whoops! I wasn't supposed to say that! BAD ME! BAD ME! Well, here's your update. The next one will be on Saturday. What is it about, you ask? You'll see.
^_^ Yeah! The longest chapter I've ever written so far!
REVIEW PLEASE!

"To protect you, right?" Kagome interrupted. He nodded his head and gave her puppy eyes.
"Please?" he pleaded.
She laughed and answered, "Fine."
"You're the best, nee-san!" Souta gave her a bear hug and jumped off his seat.
"Whatever."

"So, are you going?" Sango asked.
"Going where?" Kagome gave her a confused look.
"To the dance, duh!"
"Oh, that. Yeah."
"Can I come by your house and get ready with you?" Sango smiled. "I can meet your family that way too."

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome screeched and chased her friend around the school entrance court.
Sango ran up the school steps and shouted, "See you in class!"
Kagome took off after her and ran past Kikyo on the way. Kikyo snickered and stuck out a foot. Kagome stumbled to the ground.

"Did you bring your clothes with you or something?" Kagome asked Sango. She nodded and patted her backpack.
"It's all in here," Sango said grimly.
"Aw," Kagome giggled. "Still mad at Miroku?"
"Heck yeah!" Sango answered. They had reached the shrine and were now climbing up the steps.
"Are you wearing anything fancy?" Kagome asked.
"You'll see," was all she got as a reply.
"Whatever," Kagome rolled her eyes and opened the front door.

"Well then, I gotta go," Kagome waved good-bye and walked out of the gym. She shivered as a gust of wind blew by (it's November in this fic! So it's obviously fall, which means it's cold. It's still sunny too, but not that much. I mean, it was 6:00 when she started leaving).
"Guess I better start walking," she sighed. "Man, it's cold!"
Kagome felt someone drape a jacket over her shoulders. She looked over. Inu Yasha.
"Need a ride?" he asked with a grin. She nodded happily and followed him to his jeep.
"On the way to the shrine, can you stop by the park?" Kagome asked shyly.
"Yeah," he replied. "Why do you ask?"
"I need to pick up Souta."
"You mean the squirt?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Okay," he drove to the park where they saw a very sweaty and excited Souta.
"Hey, Inu Yasha!" Souta exclaimed. "Did you two go on a date or something?"
"WHA-" Inu Yasha and Kagome stared at him.
"No, we didn't," Kagome looked down at her lap and blushed. "What made you get that idea?"
"Well, you two are dressed up and-" Souta started.
"We were at a dance," Kagome interrupted. "Now get in here before I tell Inu Yasha to drive away and leave you here in the park-all night-by yourself."
Souta opened up a back door and scrambled onto the back seats.
"Oh, by the way. Why are you sweating?" Kagome asked curiously.
"I was playing soccer," Souta said nervously. His sister laughed and replied, "Then you must have played hard and kicked some major butt if you're sweating this much. You NEVER look sweaty after playing soccer."
"Yeah, never," Souta mumbled. They reached Higurashi shrine and Souta jumped out. Kagome stepped out of the passenger's seat and walked around to the other side and smiled at Inu Yasha through the open driver's window.
"Arigato, Inu Yasha," she looked down slightly.
"Your welcome," he answered. Inu Yasha tilted her chin up with his hand and held her face close to his. She leaned in and they closed their eyes for the second time that day. Kagome felt his breath against hers and she felt his mouth brush slightly against hers.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!" Souta squealed. He began smiling evilly and bellowed out at the top of his lungs. "INU YASHA AND KAGOME SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G. FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MARRIAGE-"
Kagome and Inu Yasha both pulled back and sighed.
"Well, se-see you later Inu Yasha," Kagome stuttered.
"Bye, Inu Yasha!" Souta piped up.
"Bye," he smiled and drove off. Kagome let out a big sigh when his jeep was no longer in sight. She turned to Souta and gave him a death glare.
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" she screamed and chased after him.
A/N: HAHAHA! Well, did you enjoy it? There wasn't as much fluff as I said there'd be, but at least Inu Yasha and Kagome are closer together now. If they kissed in this chapter, it would have ruined the whole ending of this story.whoops! I wasn't supposed to say that! BAD ME! BAD ME! Well, here's your update. The next one will be on Saturday. What is it about, you ask? You'll see.
^_^ Yeah! The longest chapter I've ever written so far!
REVIEW PLEASE!
