Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
Chapter 5
"I can't believe how slow this school year is going. It's only April…"
"Ayumi stop whining." Kagome shivered as she tried to pull her jacket tighter. She, Yuka, and Ayumi were at another lacrosse game, this one outdoors. The only reason she went to these stupid things was cause Hojo played.
"So Kagome, any ideas for a prom date. You know it's only like a month away." Yuka shivered as she spoke. Although it was April, it had started to snow. "O, hey Aiko." Kagome turned around to find Toyo's younger sister walking over to them.
"Hey guys, whatcha talking about?"
"Prom." Ayumi answered. "We were just asking Kagome who she was gonna ask."
"Well… I've finally gained the courage to ask Hojo. And if that doesn't work, I guess I can always ask Toyo as a backup or something."
"Sounds like a plan." Yuka said.
"Yeah, hope it works out for you." Ayumi added.
Later that night Kagome was online talking to her new friend Sango. The entire senior class was broken into groups to work on community service projects. Kagome quickly became friends with the two other girls in her group, Sango and Rin.
(Aim Convo)
SlayerGurl: So Kag. Who you taking to prom?
DarkMiko: I finally planned on asking Hojo.
SlayerGurl: um…I hate to tell you this, but he already has a date. Some girl he's friends with
DarkMiko: o….hold on a sec, Toyo keeps iming me about something…
LaxPlyr: Kagome can I ask you something
DarkMiko: sure Toyo
LaxPlyr: well, I was talking to my sister, and she told me that you want me to ask you to the prom
DarkMiko: she did what…
LaxPlyr: so do you want to?
DarkMiko: um yeah, sure…it'll be fun
"Hey Kagome."
"Yeah Ayumi."
"Since it's the first official night of spring break. Wanna go out?"
"To do what?"
"Beats me, if anything we can just drive around and blast music."
"Ok"
Kagome checked the clock on Ayumi's dashboard and found that it was already 2 in the morning, and they were still driving around.
"Hey Ayumi, wanna just go back to my house? We can watch Spiderman…" Ayumi perked up at the idea of Spiderman. Kagome knew it was her favorite movie.
"Alright lets go." Kagome looked over to her sofa to find Ayumi already asleep, and the opening credits hadn't even finished yet. Kagome chuckled to herself and turned off the movie. 'Wonder what I'll do tomorrow'
[Phone Ringing]
"Hello?"
"Hey Kagome its Sango."
"And Rin." Kagome heard her scream from the background.
"Yeah, right, her too. Anyway, a whole bunch of us are going out to the park to play capture like we did when we were kids. Wanna come?"
"Yeah sure. Sounds great. I'll be there in a bit."
Kagome kept bugging her mom for a ride until she finally consented. Soon Kagome found herself at Rin's house surrounded by a bunch of guys she knew from school, including Rin's boyfriend Sesshomaru. 'Wow that hair looks familiar' Kagome sat on the curb in front of Rin's while the guys all played basketball. Sango was attempting to get the ball while Rin was inside trying to get more people. Sesshomaru turned towards Kagome and threw the basketball over her head. Kagome, wondering what the hell he was doing, turned around to find that the ball had been caught by a person walking up the street. She recognized him right away. It was the cute guy from accounting.
"Ok guys" Rin called as she stepped out of her house. "No one else is coming so lets go. The teams can be… Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagome. Me, Sango, and Hoshi will be the other team." Everyone agreed and started walking to the park.
"Alright you guys." Rin continued. "You have till the count of 100 to hide. GO!" Kagome took off towards the trees right behind Sesshomaru. Inuyasha had gone off somewhere saying his cell phone wouldn't stop ringing.
"Hey Kagome."
"Yeah Sess."
"Wanna use some strategy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, how about you be my decoy." Before Kagome realized what was happening, Sesshomaru had pushed her out from behind the tree in plain view of the other team. Kagome took off as quickly as she could while Rin tried to follow her. After a bit of running both girls stopped to catch their breath.
"Damn asthma." Kagome muttered.
"You too?" Rin said. "I have an idea, let's pretend I caught you and we can take a break over in the gazebo."
Kagome smiled. "Sounds like a plan."
"Hey Kagome. Have you seen Inuyasha anywhere. The last I saw him he was with two new girls running somewhere."
Kagome's stomach quickly flipped as she clenched her fist. 'what's wrong with me. Am I jealous?' "Haven't seen him Rin."
"Hmmm…." Rin started laughing as they came up to the gazebo. "Looks like Hoshi caught Sesshomaru." Rin high fived Hoshi. "Now that leaves Inuyasha. Where the heck did he go?"
"Beats me." said Sango. "Rin, you stand guard, me and Hoshi will go find him." Sango and Hoshi began creeping around the gazebo in an attempt to find Inuyasha. Rin's phone rang and she turned around to answer it. The second her back was turned Inuyasha popped up and tagged Kagome and Sesshomaru. Kagome just stared. Where had he come from?
"Come on. I tagged you, lets go!" Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and took off. She saw Hoshi attempting to catch her. Trying to throw him off she ran down a hill, only to find that it was slipperier than she had thought. She ended up sliding down the hill on her side, only to be tagged by Hoshi anyway.
"I got Kagome!!! We win!" Kagome sighed and stood up. Looking down at her side she saw a small cut that was bleeding. 'With my luck that'll scar.'
"Well guys I'm heading home. Thanks for calling me Rin." Inuyasha turned around and started walking back down the street he came from.
"Hey Kagome, want a ride home?" Sesshomaru called as he, Rin, and Sango started walking towards his car.
"Sure, thanks Sess."
"Hey Kagome."
"Yeah Sango?" Both girls were talking quietly in the back while Sess drove tuning out Rin's chattering.
"You and Inuyasha should definitely go out. You'd make a cute couple."
"You think so?"
"Definitely." Kagome smiled at the thought. Maybe she would try to pursue something. You never know.
