A/N: Hey guys!! What's up? Me? Well, I'm good. Looking forward to break. Yeah, I had this big test in biology today and I think I did really badly. It was on the circulatory system. What? O! Sorry, I forgot this was a fanfic.(sheepishly backs into corner)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Feelings~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A slight breeze blew across her face. Kagome sprang up. How could she have fallen asleep? She ran to her closet and threw on a knee high black skirt and a pink tank top with a flower in red beads on it on. She checked herself in the mirror, applied some eyeliner and lipgloss, and then headed out the door. Before leaving she slipped on some pink flip-flops and slung a black leather jacket over her shoulder.
She had been so worn out from that afternoon she had fallen asleep and was now running late for her school's annual end-of-the-year dance. She met Sango coming up the driveway.
"What took so long? I was getting worried," Sango said, looking at Kagome.
"I.uh.fell asleep.," Kagome said, blushing.
"What?!? Weren't you the least bit excited for tonight?" Sango said, very surprised.
"Well, no. I know Seato-sune will be there, and it'll be dark.he might try something."
"Don't tell me you're letting him win? Honestly! This is just what he wants. He's a terrorist, and the point of terrorists is to make you afraid to do daily activities," Sango said, trying to calm her friend.
"I know. and I don't like dances. It's just an excuse for guys to press up against girls by the pop machines. The music is usually bad too. and then we get swamped by Miroku and his friends." at the mention of Miroku's name, Sango smiled shyly. "Oh. I forgot, you like that perverted little." Kagome said trailing off.
"I can't help it. I know he's perverted, but there's something about him. I just can't stop thinking about him." For the first time Kagome noticed Sango's outfit. She was wearing a red spaghetti strap dress that went down to her knees and was dotted with black sequins, tall black boots, and her long hair was in an elegantly messy bun in the back of her head, adorned with red clips. She had a thin-chained silver necklace on with a red jewel pendant. Her best friend looked beautiful, with her natural red lips, well- defined neckline, and slim figure. To sum it up, she was dressed to kill.
"Sango! You look amazing! When did you get this dress?" Kagome asked, amazed.
"My mom and I picked I up last month at the mall," It was obvious she had been planning this for awhile.
"Come on, let's not be any more late," Kagome said, hooking her arm in her friend's.
~*~
Do this Shippo, don't touch that Shippo, stupid furball, you wouldn't be alive if I weren't helping you, remember that. All day long Shippo heard these comments from Sessho-maru; and every day he hated him more. "Someday I'll be free and then I'll show him whose boss," Shippo thought.
He was sitting outside Sessho-maru's old house while he went inside and talked to his family. He heard someone come up. From the shadows emerged Sessho-maru's brother, Inuyasha. Shippo shrank back. Sessho-maru had said Inuyasha was an evil half demon who pretended to be your friend, but who really had a heart of stone and could turn on you at any minute.
"Why are you out here?" Inuyasha asked.
No reply.
"You can go inside if you want.. Are you hungry?... Can you talk?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sessho-maru says you're an evil, heartless, half demon and I shouldn't trust you!" Shippo said, then covered his mouth.
"Did he now? Well, think about this: would you rather trust Sessho-maru, who's probably been nothing but evil towards you, or me. Sure you don't know me, but honestly, do I look evil or heartless? If I were heartless I wouldn't be inviting you inside, or be worrying about what will happen to you when Sessho-maru gets bored with you. It seems to me you have a choice. If I were you, I'd escape as soon as I could. I should know, I had to live with him for 17 years." Inuyasha turned to go back inside. He felt a small tug at his pants. Turning, he saw the small fox staring up at him.
"I - I want to escape.. But I'm scared of what he'll do if I try," Shippo said, looking at Inuyasha with wide-eyed innocence.
Inuyasha bent down to look Shippo in the eyes, " As long as you stick with me kid, he won't do anything to you."
Shippo smiled and wiped his eyes, then he hugged Inuyasha. Taken aback, Inuyasha fell over.
"I don't know what you're going to do now, but I have to go to some stupid school dance. Will you do me a favor?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure," Shippo said, eager to help his new friend.
"Will you keep and eye on Sessho-maru for me, and my mother? I would have stayed, but she's making me go. I just don't want him to try anything, and I know her heart can't take him being here." Inuyasha trailed off.
"Yeah, but I doubt I'll be able to stop him."
"Just come to the school, I'll no doubt be in a corner somewhere." Then Inuyasha got up and left.
I don't know why Sessho-maru said he's heartless, he's the only person who's ever tried to be a friend to me.
~*~
Cray paper, Christmas lights, and loud music was what greeted the two girls at the school.
"I'm surprised," shouted Sango, "It looks like they actually tried to do a theme. I'd think they'd have learned by now that high schoolers don't like themes."
"That's the school board for ya. It's like they don't want to admit that we're older now and don't like themes, or games, or whatever at parties; like we did when we were 8," Kagome said, looking at the underwater decorations.
The girls made their way to a corner and sat in some folding chairs. After a few songs, they decided to get some punch before it was spiked. "Mmm..cherry." Kagome moaned in satisfaction.
A hand on Sango's hip made her jump. She turned to face Miroku and blushed.
"Sango, you look..beautiful." Miroku trailed off, mesmerized by her outfit.
"Is that all?" She asked teasingly.
"Well.no.I mean, you look..absolutely.." he struggled for a creative word, but failed, ".beautiful." She smiled and he took her hand.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked, pleadingly.
"Well.I don't know." Sango said, pretending to reject him. Then he did something completely unexpected. Miroku got down on his knees and begged. "Alright .sure." Sango said, between laughs. She pulled him up and the couple disappeared into the crowd.
Kagome smiled, then went to refill her punch glass. Finding herself with nothing else to do, she made her way back towards her chair in the corner. Her eyes scanned the crowd. Where is he? She wondered. Wait, who am I looking for? I must be looking out for Seato-sune. After all, I have no one else to look for.
Then she knew. At the moment she saw him come through the door, his face flushed, in black pants and a red floppy shirt, she knew. She had been looking for him. He slinked to the wall and made his way to the punch table. Once his thirst was quenched, he looked around. For a fleeting second their eyes met, then he looked away and walked towards the wall again. For a moment she lost sight of him, and searched desperately for him.
~*~
Inuyasha entered the school and immediately his ears were plastered to his head. The music and excess noise was too much. He entered to gym. Great, he thought, now I'm under the sea.
He made his way to the punch bowl and drank some. Then he turned, getting the slight feeling he was being watched. His eyes scanned the crowd, then stopped. There was the culprit, his heart stopped. What should I do, he wondered, she's looking right at me. She looks so pretty just sitting there..What am I thinking? She doesn't like me, she just feels bad for me. But still.
~*~
Miroku was in heaven. In his arms was the most beautiful girl in the whole school, no- the world. Sango actually said yes, he thought. I didn't think she'd say yes to me! He was on an adrenaline rush; excitement, happiness, and contentment were coursing through him.
Sango looked up at him and smiled. Then she shook her hips to the music and continued dancing. He bit his lip to keep from shouting out in joy, and put his hands on her hips.
A slow song came on and the crowd calmed and dimmed their conversations to a murmur. Couples made their way onto the floor. Miroku pulled Sango close to him. Putting one hand on her lower back and holding her other hand, Miroku held her close. She put one hand around his neck and held his other hand, she rested her head on his chest. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, causing her to blush. They swayed to the music.
~*~
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer where I started
Chasing after you
~*~
Kagome watched as all the couples weaved their way onto the dance floor. She spotted Sango and Miroku in the middle, arms around each other. They looked so content and happy. Kagome sighed, oh well, who wants to be that close to some smelly boy anyway. Who am I kidding, I do!
Just then she heard someone whisper her name. Looking around she saw Inuyasha squatted down by her chair. "Oh! Hi Inuyasha, how are you?" she asked, secretly hoping he wouldn't go away.
"Oh. you know.You?" He asked, seeming uncomfortable with the dance scene.
"I'm good, kinda bored. I don't really care for the theme we have in here," she said looking around, "I feel sea sick."
Inuyasha laughed. Her heart stopped. He's got an amazing smile, she thought, trying to recover.
"Listen, Kagome.I really appreciate you standing up for me the other day. You didn't have to do that. Don't feel obligated to, especially after Seato-sune threatened you -"
She cut him off, "How did you know?" she asked, worryingly.
"I heard him yelling at someone in the hall.but anyway, please, don't worry about me. I don't want you getting hurt." His looked away from her.
He cares about me?
~*~
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
~*~ "Inuyasha, would you like to dance?" Kagome asked, not quite sure what gave her the intestinal fortitude to ask. He seemed taken aback.
"Uhh.sure.but I don't know how." Inuyasha said, embarrassed.
She took his arm and led him onto the floor. "It's easy, you just sway back and forth." She said.
Gingerly he placed his hand on her shoulder and held her other hand. She laughed and moved his hands down to her waist. Then she put her hands around his neck and gazed up at him. He blushed and looked off to the side. She put her head on his chest and listened to his rapid heartbeat.
~*~
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
Just hanging by a moment here with you
~*~
"Kagome." Inuyasha said, but stopped. He just couldn't bring himself to tell her how beautiful she looked, how much he had wanted this to happen.
He rested his chin on top of her head and swayed. As the song ended, they slowly parted.
"Thank you, Kagome," he said, and with that, he left.
He didn't mean to leave so abruptly, but he had seen a small figure bobbing up and down outside the window. He went into the brisk night air and found Shippo sitting there. Immediately he snapped back to reality. "Shippo, what's wrong?" He asked, suddenly worried.
Shippo looked at him and said, "Sessho-maru and your mom were talking then said he was leaving and she just lost it. I mean she really lost it. She started yelling and throwing things saying 'you're always leaving! Why can't you just stay for once and we can be a family, like we were!' I got scared and came to find you." Shippo finished and took a breath.
"Well then, let's go." Inuyasha said, bounding towards home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*The End~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* A/N: Well, that's it..so far..more later. It's almost Christmas break, then I'll have lots of time!! YAY!
Dear Randomunit02,
Tisk, tisk, tisk. I thought you'd be more careful. You obviously didn't read the threat handbook very carefully. As it states in Sec. 12, para. 101, #389: "Any threats given to any persons, pertaining to a fanfic, should not result, under any circumstances, to violence and harsh words. Never should a threaten-ee get desperate, this only makes the author worried for their life. Thus causing them to go into hiding and not write, en angering the threaten-ee. Or, it causes the author to hastily write and produce a bad fanfic." So states the almighty handbook. I am ashamed of you.
A/N: Hey guys!! What's up? Me? Well, I'm good. Looking forward to break. Yeah, I had this big test in biology today and I think I did really badly. It was on the circulatory system. What? O! Sorry, I forgot this was a fanfic.(sheepishly backs into corner)
