~*~You Stole My Heart~*~
A/N: Okay, I'm going to see if this plan works: The only days I will update will be Wed., Fri., and Sat., unless I have a huge project to do. An extra chapter can be squeezed in IF I reach another 100 (you know. Like if I reach 500 then 600 blah blah blah). I'm not going to stick to this plan entirely because some chapters, like chapter 22, take a LONG time to type. For those who requested me to e-mail you and didn't receive an e- mail, it means that I can't send one to you for some reason. Believe me, I try to, but I always get a 'delivery problem' when I try to e-mail some people a message. If you did get an e-mail, good. It means that I'll be able to e-mail you. Anyways, I'll shut up and start the story. Please review! ^_^

Chapter 24: The Thursday Party
"So, Higurashi. Did you decide yet?" Hojo inquired as Kagome climbed up the school steps. Kagome sighed, exhausted already and it was only the beginning of the school day.
"I don't know yet, Hojo," she answered. "I'll tell you later."
"HEY!" someone shouted. She looked up and saw Kouga, looming above Hojo.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HOBO? THIS IS my WOMAN!" Kouga continued screaming.
"I-I was o-only asking h-her t-to the p-prom," Hojo stammered.
"What?!" Kouga screeched, outraged. "YOU DARE ASK my WOMAN TO THE PROM?! THE ONLY PERSON SHE'S GOING TO THE PROM WITH IS ME! NOW GO AWAY, LEAVE HER ALONE, AND LEAVE us ALONE!"
Hojo quickly nodded and dashed away. Kouga grinned.
"So. Did you decide yet?" he asked Kagome. She groaned.
"No," Kagome said bitterly. "I didn't decide yet."
"Well, now that Hojo is out of the picture, I'm the only possible person left for you," Kouga said matter-of-factly. Kagome thought grimly, 'Not really.'
"Is everything okay here?" Sango's voice was heard behind her. Kagome turned around and gave her a thank-goodness-you're-here look.
"Yeah, everything's A-okay," Kouga answered. He shot Kagome a little smile. "Tell me your decision at the end of the day, okay?"
"Whatever," Kagome mumbled. She was getting fed up with this. He walked away.
"My day is ruined already," Kagome whined to Sango. They walked to their first class. "Hojo and Kouga were nagging me."
"About the prom?" Sango nudged her. She nodded. "Cheer up, Kagome. I brought you a present-which is currently in Mr. Myouga's class right now. You'll see it soon."
"Well, um, do you have anything for Miroku yet?" Kagome asked. Sango shook her head.
"I have no idea what to give him."
"How about a monk staff?"
Sango chuckled, "Good one, but where can I get hold of a staff?"
"From Higurashi shrine. How about this: I bring it to school tomorrow and you give it to Miroku," Kagome suggested.
"Okay," Sango smiled, "Great idea."
"I'm only saying this because I couldn't think of anything to give to you," her best friend admitted.
"It's okay," Sango slung her arm around Kagome's shoulder. "I don't really want anything. I'm not spoiled, unlike my brother, Kohaku."
*****
Sango burst into laughter at what she saw. Miroku was wearing a glove on his right hand with a rosary draped around it. So "monk like". Inu Yasha was wearing a prayer bead necklace. Also very "monk like".
"What is it?" Inu Yasha frowned. Miroku gave her a similar look.
"I believe she's laughing at the things you're wearing," Kagome giggled.
"But these are signs of Inu Yasha's and my friendship. I gave him a prayer bead necklace and he gave me a glove and a rosary," Miroku explained.
"I gave you the rosary," Inu Yasha corrected. "And then you requested a glove."
"Why?" Kagome and Sango asked in unison. Miroku walked over to Sango and hugged her, ignoring the question-for now. "Do you feel my hand?" he asked as he patted her bottom.
PAT PAT
"HUH?" Sango blinked and then screamed, "HENTAI!"
SLAP!
Inu Yasha and Kagome sweatdropped.
"Of course I feel it!" Sango huffed. "You perverted monk!"
"That's why I gave him a rosary," Inu Yasha said, shaking his head at the same time. "To remind him that his family is mostly made up of monks and they are supposed to be 'holy and uncorrupted'."
"But as you can see, he's already corrupted!" Sango hissed as she pointed to Miroku.
"I was only testing to see if the glove could make a girl NOT feel my hand," he protested.
"HENTAI!" Sango screamed in frustration. "Don't ever grope me again. No- don't grope ANY girl again!"
"I promise!" Miroku swore. "Hey, come ON, ladies. Take your seats."
He put an arm around Kagome's shoulder and Sango's shoulder.
"The bell is going to ring soon," he told them. His arms slid down and his hands rested on their bottoms 'accidentally'."
"HENTAI!" Kagome, Sango, AND Inu Yasha punched him down unconscious.
"YOU SWORE!" Sango shrieked. "What an embarrassment for a boyfriend!"
*****
"Stay away from us!" Sango exclaimed at the lunch table to Miroku. "Sit with Inu Yasha today!"
Miroku just shrugged.
"Just give him a break, Sango," Inu Yasha told her.
"Yeah, give me a break," Miroku joined in.
Inu Yasha just smiled, "He's so stupid that he doesn't even know he's stupid."
"Hey!" Miroku pouted. "I thought you were my best friend!"
"I am."
"Then you wouldn't be taking Sango's side."
"She's my best friend too, you know."
"You're all so cruel," Miroku frowned. "How about you, Kagome?"
The three turned and faced her.
"Give him a break, Sango.." Kagome said.
"Thank you!" Miroku stood up, held his arms out straight in the air, and looked up at the ceiling as he spoke. "At least I have one TRUE friend."
"I'm not done talking yet," Kagome grinned evilly. "Sango, give him a break 'cause he's just an ignorant, stupid, perverted, corrupted monk."
Miroku fell (anime-style).
"Now you're talking, girl!" Sango gave Kagome a high-five. They laughed together. Inu Yasha just nudged his foot at Miroku's ankle. He still laid on the ground with a gloomy expression. Inu Yasha stomped a foot on Miroku's hand.
"OW!" he shot up and clutched his hand. "What did you do that for?"
His three friends just laughed at him.
*****
"Just like I promised, the whole class period is yours!" Mr. Myouga shouted out to them. The class jumbled around. Kikyo walked up to the four friends.
"Inu! My sweet darling!" she chirped. A vein popped for each word as Inu Yasha heard her. "My honey-pooh. My boyfriend. My husband. My Yashie-"
"SHUT UP!" he hollered. Kikyo just smiled at him.
"Why?" she cooed. Kagome narrowed her eyes and walked up to her.
"Why?" she asked. "I'll tell you why! He hates you! And he hates you calling him those nicknames! Get it through your thick head, slut! He isn't your boyfriend!"
"I was just going to ask him if he would go to the prom with me!" Kikyo said coldly.
"I bet you Inu Yasha would say no to you anyways!" Sango hissed.
"That's not true, is it, Inu-dear?" Kikyo asked sweetly.
"Of course it's true!" Inu Yasha snapped. "I wouldn't go to the prom with you even if you paid me!"
"So you would rather go with this bitch?" Kikyo asked calmly and pointed to Kagome.
"What'd you call me, slut?" Kagome's eyes flared. Sango and Miroku held her back.
"Kikyo," Miroku gave her a stern glare. "Get away from us."
"No," Kikyo stayed rooted on the same spot. Sango took a deep breath in and then stomped over to her.
"LISTEN HERE, SLUT," Sango said loudly. "GET AWAY FROM US OR ELSE. REMEMBER THAT DAY WHEN I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE KAGOME ALONE OR ELSE YOU WOULDN'T LIVE TO CELEBRATE YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY? WELL, GUESS WHAT? YOU BETTER PUT THAT IN MIND RIGHT NOW OR ELSE IT'LL COME TRUE TODAY."
"Sango," Miroku ushered her. "Calm down."
Sango ignored him and kicked Kikyo on the kneecaps. Kikyo clattered to the ground.
"Ow," Kikyo complained. Yura, Kagura, and Kanna showed up behind her and helped her up.
"Leave them alone," Kagura advised Kikyo.
"Don't mess with them," Kanna said quietly.
"Especially Higurashi," Yura added as she glanced at Kagome. Kikyo grunted and left with them.
"Man, does she always want to pick a fight with me?" Kagome demanded to no one in particular.
"Yup," Inu Yasha, Sango, and Miroku answered.
*****
"Time for my gift exchanging!" Sango piped up. She pulled something out from behind her back. "Here, Kagome. These are for you."
Kagome looked down and saw her holding a shiny, polished, bow and a quiver full of arrows. The bow and quiver had unique imprints on them. She stared and stared and stared.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Sango asked. She held it out towards her more. Kagome took her gift with trembling hands.
"You didn't have to get me this Sango-chan," she told her. Kagome fingered the bow and pulled out an arrow from the quiver. It was VERY sharp. "Thank you, Sango. I don't know what else to say."
"Thank you is enough," Sango replied gently. She gave Kagome a hug. "Your friendship is the greatest present that I'll ever receive."
Sango heard Kagome sniffling. She pulled back.
"Kagome-chan, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.
"N-nothing," Kagome looked up with tears welling up in her eyes. "It's just that..I've never had friends that were so close to me like you guys are."
"Because you move a lot, right?" Sango said, knowingly. Kagome nodded. Sango hugged her again.
"I'll always be your friend, Kagome," she told her. "Always. Even if you move. We'll be best friends forever."
"Promise?" Kagome asked.
"Promise."
"Bravo," Miroku clapped and wiped an eye with a tissue. "That was beautiful. It was such a wonderful play. Are you presenting that to the class or something?"
BONK!
"You dope!" Inu Yasha scowled. Miroku felt a lump form. "That wasn't a play! I told you you were stupid!"
"Okay," Miroku rubbed his head. "I get the point. Sango, can you please come with me? I want to show you my gift to you."
Sango jumped up and down excitedly and skipped after him.
Inu Yasha and Kagome stared silently after them.
Silence.
"Kagome," Inu Yasha suddenly said. Kagome turned around and look him in the eye.
"Yes?" she asked. She watched him reach into his pocket and then pull out a narrow, rectangular box. He held it out to her. "For me?"
"Yeah," Inu Yasha smiled warmly at her. "Go ahead and open it."
Kagome opened up the lid and her mood brightened up a bit at what she saw. It was a necklace. A pendant hung in the center of the silver chain and in the center of the pendant, there was a pink jewel, about the size of a marble. (I can't explain really well. Hey, it was night time when I typed this! AND you better know what the 'pink jewel' is!)
"It's beautiful," Kagome breathed as she watched the jewel shimmer in the light. "Plain, but VERY beautiful."
She smiled and then looked up at him, "Thank you. It's beautiful. Um, sorry, I didn't know what to get you and-"
"It's okay," Inu Yasha interrupted. "You don't need to give me anything. Really."
"Okay," she said, half-satisfied. "Well, thank you again."
Silence.
"Kagome.." Inu Yasha paused. She looked up at him and asked, "Yes?"
He looked down at the ground, blushing.
"Um, if you don't have anyone to go to the prom with, will you go with me?" he asked softly. Inu Yasha waited patiently for an answer.
"Of course," was his reply. He looked up to find a smiling Kagome. She clobbered him with a Sango-hug. "Of course I'll go with you."
"Great," Inu Yasha blinked. Kagome held her breath.
'Oh my gosh,' she thought. 'Our faces are SO close to each other right now..'
"INU YASHA, KAGOME!" Sango shouted from across the room. Their heads turned in her direction. She was running towards them. When she finally reached them, she asked mischievously, "So, how long are you gonna hold on to each other?"
Inu Yasha and Kagome shot apart and both blushed (hahaha, the blushing is back!).
"Well, anyways," Sango continued. "Look what Miroku gave me!"
She pulled something out from behind her back and held it out in front of their faces.
"Oh, how cute!" Kagome squealed. It was a little kitty (guess who! ^.^). It had red eyes and black strips on its tail. "Did you name it yet?"
Sango smiled, "Yup. I named it Kirara. It's a she-obviously."
Kagome wasn't paying attention. She had scooped up the kitten into her arms and began tickling it.
"So kawaii!" she giggled. Sango edged closer to Inu Yasha.
"So," she muttered so only he could hear her. "You asked her, didn't you?"
He nodded.
"She said yes, didn't she?"
He nodded again. She slapped him on the back. He yelped. Kagome looked up.
"Is anything wrong?" she asked, concerned. Both Sango and Inu Yasha shook their heads. After giving them one suspicious look, she continued cooing at Kirara.
A/N: Yay! The chapter is done! And I can tell you all right now that the next chappie is about the prom! So stay tuned! Anyways, it also means that this story is going to end soon. Not REAL soon, but soon and by soon, I mean about 6-10 chapters more..or less. Now here's the question: Do you want a sequel? Yes or no? If I get at least 20 yeses, I'll write a sequel and here's a heads up about what it's going to be about: The group is going to college at Tokyo University. Same characters, more Kikyo bashing (yeah, she's still in the story.), more romance/fluff, etc. (Note: the group lives in Tokyo, not America..) Well, tell me what you think. I have another question: do you want me to connect it to this story so you can always go back and check something? Anyways, please review! ^_^
THANK YOU TO ALL REVIEWERS! ^_~
Answer to a question from a reviewer: In chappie 22, all the songs, except 'Dear Diary' are Inu Yasha opening songs.

Answer to a question from a reviewer: In chappie 22, all the songs, except 'Dear Diary' are Inu Yasha opening songs.
I Am: second opening song Owari Nai Yume (Endless Dream): third opening song Grip!: fourth (or was it fifth?) opening song
