~*~You Stole My Heart~*~
A/N: Hey, everyone! Sorry for the long update this week. I was occupied with my schoolwork. *mumbles about how unfair it is to have a TON of homework everyday* Well, I checked my reviews and saw that I reached 400! Thank you all of you! I PROMISE I'm gonna read all you guys' stories too when I have a lot of leisure time, probably next month or in December. Another thing: my mom thinks I'm obsessed with the internet (that IS sort of the truth), but all I'm really doing is typing new chapters. So, it would make more sense if she said that I'm obsessed with the computer. *SIGH* I wish I had a labtop or something so I could type new chapters all the time.. Ok, I better stop yapping. Enjoy and please review! Thank you to all you reviewers! ^_^
A/N: Remember! I'm fast forwarding through this story! AND, remember, it was November when Kagome moved and transferred into Inu Yasha's, Sango's, and Miroku's school. Now, it's the middle of December..
Disclaimer: This is getting really tiring to say. Fine: I don't own Inu Yasha and I never will.
Chapter 23: The Week Before Christmas
Kagome walked up the stairs and into the school.
"Kagome!" Sango shouted and caught up to her.
"Hey," Kagome giggled and smiled. They started walking off to class together.
"The prom is this week!" Sango said excitedly.
"Oh, yeah. That's right. On Friday.." Kagome stopped walking in mid-step. She snapped back into her senses and continued walking.
"Did anybody ask you to the prom yet?"
"No. If nobody asks me, I'll just stay home. So, how about you?"
"Nobody asked me yet," Sango winked at her. "But you know how some boys are..last minute."
"Yeah," Kagome laughed.
"You want Inu Yasha to ask you, huh?" Sango asked slyly. Kagome's face grew red.
"I-I-NO!" she shook her head wildly.
"Sure, whatever you say."
*****
"Hey, Yashie," Miroku grinned at his best friend.
Inu Yasha sat down and his eyes shot daggers at him.
"Don't you DARE start acting like the slut!" he growled.
"Well, I'm SO~RRY," Miroku apologized innocently. He leaned back on his chair and asked, "So, Yash. Did you ask anybody to the prom yet?"
"No," Inu Yasha replied coolly as he bored holes through Miroku. "Did YOU ask anybody yet?"
"No," Miroku gulped. "But I'm going to ask Sango today."
He added with a grin, "So, are you gonna ask Kagome to the prom?"
Inu Yasha's face turned crimson, "I-I-I.."
"Yes?"
"I-I-NO!"
"Sure.."
".."
"You two should go together. You're a great couple."
"Shut up."
"I only said what was true."
*****
Inu Yasha stared blankly at Mr. Tatewaki as he gave a long lecture. He shifted his gaze slightly towards Kagome.
'Should I ask her to the prom?' he wondered. 'What if she says no? What if- what if somebody else asked her already? What if she already said yes to them?'
*****Lunch*****
"Inu Yasha?" Kagome shook Inu Yasha's arm. "Inu Yasha?"
He turned his view towards her. Their eyes locked.
'Those pretty blue-grey eyes,' Inu Yasha thought.
'Those violet eyes..so caring, trusting, and confident looking,' Kagome blinked.
Sango and Miroku smirked.
"Are we interrupting your time alone with each other?" Sango asked.
"Huh?" Inu Yasha and Kagome broke their gazes and stared at her.
'Hm, let's have a little fun with these two..' Sango thought with an evil grin.
"Just answer yes or no to my question," she replied.
"Uh," Kagome bit her lip. "Yes?"
Miroku and Sango broke down into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Inu Yasha demanded.
"Sango-asked *snort* if we were interrupting your time alone with each other *snort* and Kagome answered yes!" Miroku, uh, snorted.
"I wasn't paying attention!" Kagome protested.
"Sure," Miroku and Sango chimed together. "What~EVER you say!"
*****
"I have big news," Ms. Kaede announced. "The school is deciding which 4 students are the best volleyball players. So, we'll all be heading on 4 on 4 every Friday until December 30. I've arranged all the teams according to skill level and friendship because you ALL know I like putting people together who are friends."
The class nodded and some whispered silently.
"Okay, first team is Kikyo, Yura, Kouga, and Naraku."
Kikyo stood up gracefully and smirked at Kagome. Yura followed behind her. Kouga half-smiled at the class stuck his tongue out at Inu Yasha. Naraku just stared at Kikyo.
"Next team is Kagome, Sango, Inu Yasha, and Miroku."
Kagome and Sango jumped up and shouted with glee together while Ms. Kaede read out the rest of the teams.
"We're all together!" Kagome squealed.
"We're going to do great!" Sango exclaimed. She stopped all of her excitement for a moment and looked at the two boys. "You two BETTER not do your phony 'rock tricks'!"
"Of course we won't," Miroku said with a frown.
"We CAN play volleyball too you know," Inu Yasha snapped. "We don't always cheat to win."
"Yeah," Miroku joined him. "The only reason why we do those rock tricks against people is because they're new students and we only use the tricks against boys, not girls."
"That's nice to know," Sango said sarcastically. "But you better play fair from now on. If you want to prove that you are the best at volleyball, you'll have to prove it without cheating."
"Sango, dear," Miroku said innocently. "You have our word that we won't cheat in this volleyball 'tournament' thing."
Sango smiled, "I sure hope so."
"Like I said," Miroku grinned. "You have our word."
The two started kissing.
Kagome looked away and caught Inu Yasha's eyes. Their eyes locked again for the second time that day.
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
'My heart always beats faster when I see him or when I'm next to him,' Kagome thought. She reluctantly tore her gaze away. 'That was hard to do..'
"OKAY!" Ms. Kaede screamed. "All we're going to do today is practicing. Your team will practice with each other all day today-as much as you can."
***** A/N: History is the gang's last class.
"Hello class," Mr. Myoga greeted.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Myouga," the class greeted back.
"I have a surprise for all of you," he smiled. "This Thursday, in this class, we're going to have a party. You can eat, dance, exchange gifts, whatever. And for this ENTIRE week, I'm letting you all relax. No homework, no pressure. Just don't start screaming loudly or hurting each other, got it?"
"Hai," all the students answered.
"Well then, the rest of the time is yours."
Everyone scrambled around the classroom and tried to get to their friends.
"So," Sango said to her three friends since they were already sitting together. (A/N: It is just a COINCIDENCE that the 4 sit together in every class. ^_~) "Anybody have something to talk about?"
"Nope," Kagome murmured.
"Same with me," Inu Yasha mumbled.
Miroku's face lit up and he took Sango's hands in his.
"I have PLENTY to talk about," he told her. Sango freed her hands and slapped him.
"You're not going to talk about women or anything perverted, are you?" she said coldly.
"Uh-no?" Miroku laughed nervously. Sango glared at him. He continued, "Actually, I was wondering if you would go to the prom with me."
Sango's angry expression evaporated and she smiled.
"YEEEEEEEEEES!" Sango clobbered him with one of her hugs. "I've been waiting for you to ask me that. Yes, I'll go with you!"
"Cwould ywoo pwease gwet owfa mwe?" Miroku's voice was muffled. (allow me to translate, "Would you please get off of me?")
"Excuse me," someone's voice popped up. The group looked up and saw none other than Hojo. "May I please talk to you, Kagome?"
"Sure," Kagome said hesitantly, stood up and followed.
*****
"What did you want to talk to me about, Hojo?" Kagome asked.
"Well," Hojo said, looking away. "I want to tell you that I've always liked you and that I think you're great at everything, like archery. I saw you dancing and heard you sing at the festival too. And I was wondering if you would go to the prom with me."
Kagome looked at him and said nothing.
"Well, will you?" Hojo asked uneasily.
"Um-how about I think about it and tell you later?" Kagome finally answered.
"Sure," Hojo said happily (don't know why though, but he's ALWAYS happy, you know?). "Tell me what your decision is soon, okay?"
"Okay.."
*****
"So what did Hojo say?" Sango asked Kagome when she returned.
"Oh, nothing," Kagome said quietly.
"Sure."
"Really."
"Kagome! My dearest! My mate!" Kouga chirped as he walked over to the gang. "Can I have a minute of your time?"
"She doesn't know, CAN you?" Inu Yasha said icily.
"I wasn't asking you, mutt," Kouga shot at him.
"I know that, stupid wolf," Inu Yasha shot back. "But do you know the difference between 'may' and 'can'?"
"Duh. Of course I do," Kouga replied.
"Then ask correctly," Inu Yasha sneered.
"Kagome, MAY I have a minute of your time?" Kouga said as he glared at Inu Yasha.
"Sure," Kagome sighed. She stood up (again) and followed Kouga.
*****
"So, what do you want, Kouga?" Kagome asked.
"Well," Kouga doodled with his fingers. "I was wondering, since you're my girlfriend-"
"I'm not your girlfriend," Kagome interrupted.
"Right," Kouga smiled. "You're my woman."
"I'm not your woman either."
"Ah, yes. You're my mate."
"I am not your mate!" Kagome said tartly. "I'm not your woman, I'm not your girlfriend, I'm not your dearest, I'm not your anything!"
Kouga grinned, "Very feisty, I see. I like that in a woman.. Anyways, I was wondering if you would go to the prom with me..would you?"
"I'll think about it," Kagome said blankly.
"Okay, then," Kouga winked. "I'll see you later."
"Yeah, MUCH later.." Kagome mumbled. "What a long day."
*****
Sango and Kagome walked to Higurashi shrine after school.
"So, what did Kouga and Hojo say to you?" Sango pressed.
"Nothing," Kagome replied simply.
"Yeah, right," Sango snorted. "Tell me, NOW."
"No.."
"I don't think you heard me right."
"I DID hear you right."
"I said TELL ME NOW!" Sango screeched. All the birds in the trees near them cawed and flew up into the sky. Kagome gulped.
"O-okay, I-I'll tell you," her voice quivered.
"Now you're talking," Sango grinned. "Now SPEAK."
"Well," Kagome began. "Hojo and Kouga talked to me about the same thing."
"Which was?"
"The prom."
Sango squealed happily.
"They asked you to the prom?" she asked. "Did you say yes to any of them?"
"I said that I'd think about it," Kagome replied silently.
Silence
More silence
*small gust of wind passes through*
"Why? Don't you want to go?" Sango asked gently.
"The truth is," Kagome's eyelids lowered a bit. "I-I really want to go with Inu Yasha."
Sango slapped her on the back. Kagome yelped.
"What was that for?!" Kagome demanded.
"Finally!" Sango remarked, ignoring her demand. "You're committing your true feelings! I knew you liked him!"
"Yeah.."
"Why don't YOU ask him to the prom, Kagome?"
"I'm to shy and what if-what if he already asked someone or someone asked him and he said.."
"Yes?" Sango finished for her with a smile. Kagome nodded slowly.
"So, why did Hojo ask you? He barely even talks to you."
"He said that he had always liked me," Kagome answered. "It's hard to imagine that."
"I know," Sango giggled. "Anyways, are your excited for the Thursday party?"
"A little," Kagome smiled a bit. "Mr. Myouga is a cool teacher. No work for his class for the rest of this week!"
"Let's celebrate!" Sango cried out. She took Kagome's arm and dragged her up the shrine steps.
A/N: Sango sure loves dragging people, doesn't she? Hehe. Anyways, sorry for the long update for the other chapter. You know the song lyrics? That took FOREVER to type. And I mean FOREVER! I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter too. The next chapter will be more interesting, but I could be exaggerating.hmmm. *Ahem* Please review! ^_~
