Chapter 7: Maybe Tonight

"And the king is…" The spotlight began to roam. "Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked just as surprised as Houjo did, but when he saw the look on Houjo's face, he smirked his way and joined Kagome on stage. "Now they take their dance." Everyone cleared away from the floor.

I can't believe Inuyasha and me are dancing together. Shoot! I can't believe we're the king and queen. And just look at Inuyasha, he looks so good. Hold up! Did I just think that?! Well, I guess so. He's good-looking when you get past that attitude. Kagome thought. "Um… Inuyasha?"

He looked up. "Yea."

"You're stepping on my feet."

"Well, what do you expect? I've never really danced before… not with you anyway."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing," he said quickly, looking away from her.

She cleared her throat. "Have a good time with Yuka?"

"No, I just used her to get back at you… for taking that other boy."

"But you were the one that said she asked you. That most automatically means that you said yes. So of course I asked Houjo."

Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him.

"I-Inuyasha…"

"Kagome, let's forget who we've been, just for tonight anyways."

Wow! Was Inuyasha ever being sweet. She liked him like this, but sometimes she thought she was dreaming.

"They look so romantic," Sango said.

"Yes," Miroku held Sango close and led her outside. Sango's eyes rose to the sky. "It's so nice out here. Nice and dark."

Sango's eyes went to him. Was that why he took her outside, because it was dark and he could try something? She was getting cold.

Miroku, as if noticing this, wrapped his arms around her.

"Miroku."

"Yes?"

Then she decided not to ruin the moment. "Nothing… Just hold me like this for a while."

Inside, the dance had finally ended.

"Hey, people, let's bring things back up to a casual beat. 'Strobe' by Amuro Namie."

"Do you um… want to dance this one too?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha didn't answer; he just led her out to the dance floor.

The dance had been going on for some hours now, and it seemed that Inuyasha and Kagome were dancing with each other rather than their dates.

"Now, party people, the last dance 'Way to Love' by Karasawa Miho."

Just before the song started Houjo walked over and asked Kagome to dance! Kagome was polite and danced with him too! Inuyasha didn't look too happy and Kagome flashed him a sympathetic look.

That was the last straw for Inuyasha. He had interrupted their dance. He walked over and grabbed Houjo by his hair. He punched him about 50 times and then kicked his sorry butt in the punchbowl. The kids cheered.

Of course, that was his imagination. He planned for that but when he was about to snatch Houjo over and hit him, when Yuka paraded over and forced him to dance with her. Stupid Kagome, he thought. Dancing with Hobo over there! She didn't have to accept!

The ride home wasn't much because it was so silent. But when they arrived at the Higurashi residence, well….

Everyone had already left inside the house except Houjo and Kagome. He walked her to the porch. "I'm so sorry for tonight, Houjo. I barely danced with you."

"It's okay. There were some other girls that wanted to." He said it was okay, but he sounded hurt on the last sentence. And he was, sure a lot of other girls wanted to dance with him but he'd wanted to dance with Kagome and there she was dancing with Inuyasha. A boy he'd already dubbed as his enemy.

"I'll find some way to make it up to you."

"That boy, he isn't your boyfriend is he?"
"Huh? Of course not. He's just—well, he ah—well… You know."

"Sorry I brought that up. Well, good night, Kagome." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and walked back to the limo.

"Well, Sango…"

"Well, nothing. I'm at my door so goodnight." She prepared to close the door.

"That's the point," he said sticking a foot in the door. "It is only proper to kiss a woman when taking leave from such an event."

"Want to lose that foot?"

"Sango." He took his foot out the door though.

"Goodnight, Miroku." She cracked the door a bit. "And thank you for taking me."

"You're most welcome." Miroku gave a smile.

Kagome turned the front door knob and walked in. It was completely dark. "Huh?"

A lamp flickered on and she could see Inuyasha sitting in a chair facing her. "What were you doing out there, Kagome?"

"It's really nothing. And since when do you have the right to be in my business?"

"You are my business! I saw you out there with that boy. He kissed you and you just stood there and took it!"

"You were spying on me?!"

"Damn right! It's a good thing I did too."

"Humph!" She walked up the stairs.

"Hey! I'm still talking here!" He was about to go after her when he bumped into Miroku.

"I see you've managed to make Kagome angry again."

"Shut up, monk!"

Kagome stormed angrily into her room.

"Huh? What's going on?" a sleepy Shippo asked.

"Oh sorry, Shippo. I forgot that you sleep in my room."

"How did the dance go?"

"It was all right."

"What's wrong? You seem mad."

"I am mad."

"At Inuyasha again?"

She nodded. "He was spying on me." She explained to Shippo for a while until Shippo fell asleep in the middle of her story. Then something flashed in Kagome's mind. She rushed out into the hallway and was on her way to Sango's room. "Sango?!" Kagome yelled twisting the locked doorknob.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Sango asked opening the door. "Sorry about the lock, can't trust Miroku."

"Tomorrow… we go to the beach and hotel."

"For school?"

"Yes, at six o' clock am."

Sango sighed and rubbed her eyes, allowing them to become adjusted to the light. "Really, the teacher should know that we had a dance and she picks a time so early."

"We better get packing. I'll let you borrow one of my suitcases."

"Thanks."

"What's all the commotion?" Inuyasha and Miroku asked busting in the door.

"Field trip tomorrow."

"Who wants a trip to the field?" Inuyasha asked. "Kagome, there were plenty of fields back in—"

"We're not going to a field; we're going to the beach and then staying at the Grand Hyatt."

"Then why call it that?"

"We just do," Kagome replied, and then remembered that she was mad at him. "Humph!"

"I don't know why you're mad. I'm the one that should be mad. To see you kissing some boy from the future."

"Well how do you think I feel when you kissed Kikyo?!" she stopped herself, feeling as if she had made things worst between them.

Inuyasha didn't reply, he just walked out the room.

"Well, that was tense," Miroku said breaking the silence.

Kagome didn't know why she said it, but it was probably the way he felt.

"Uhm… Kagome, me and Miroku'll continue packing," Sango said hoping for Inuyasha and Kagome to use the time to get things right between the two.

"Yea," Kagome walked out of the room and into the family room. Inuyasha was sprawled on the couch, his eyes closed. "You awake?"

He opened one eye. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to say… I'm sorry."

Inuyasha smirked. "I knew I'd get you to apologize."

"What?! You made me feel wrong for—ooh! Inuyasha!"

"Well, you shouldn't have been kissing that boy."

"He kissed me!"

"And you just stood there."

"Well…"

"Look, it's over."

"You're right." She got up. "Come on."

"Come where?"

"We've got to get packing." So they spent a while packing until everyone dozed off.

At around 4 the next morning they all awoke getting packed and ready for the trip. They were a bit excited, but more than that sleepy. Dancing the night away had gotten them all exhausted and groggy. Especially Inuyasha..
