Chapter Fifteen
As the day went on, people gave hugs, kisses, gifts, cards, and talked. A lot. Not necessarily about Inuyasha and Kagome's "thing" but about EVERYONE'S "thing". Every one kept on asking "Will you be my valentine?" and people started to hook up. Valentine's Day was beautiful.
After school, they were walking home to get dressed for the Valentine's Day social. "Kagome, how many flowers did you get?!" Sango noticed Kagome holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Yeah, you too, Inuyasha, how many did you get?" Miroku asked.
"About a dozen." Inuyasha and Kagome said in unison.
"You two hang out with each other too much." Sango laughed.
"Yeah, and all those flowers are from different people, man people just can't get a hint." Miroku said.
"Well, here's a special one from you, Inuyasha. Let's read it." Kagome got out the card.
"Friends till the end I say,
You lift me up each and everyday.
You me laugh when something's funny,
You helped me out when I needed money.
I am thanking you in every way,
Thanks for being there each and every day.
You put a smile on my face,
No matter what the case,
I know you'll be there when I need it,
So thanks and I promise that I'll do the same.
I still have that picture that we put in our frame,
We were so little and now we have grown.
And so has our friendship and it has shown.
I have thanked you in every way.
You're still my best friend till this day." (A/n, I didn't write this, I got it from a website.)
"Aww, that's so sweet!" Sango said.
"Yeah, I never knew you had it in you." Miroku patted him on the back.
"Inuyasha, I didn't know you were a poet. This is beautiful. Thank you." Kagome hugged him and went into the house with Sango while the boys went over to Miroku's to get dressed. 'If only you could see how far our friendship has really gone.' Kagome thought and went upstairs with Sango.
"Hey, did Kagome write you a note on your flower?" Miroku asked once they got into his house.
"No, she didn't give me a flower."
"What? Are you sure?"
"No, I'm just kidding, she gave me one, and with a nice poem too."
"Let me see.
You are the kind of person
that is really hard to find
A trusting kind of person
that is really divine
you have a charm about you
that every one seems to love
a special charm about you
that was sent from up above
I know you do not like me
as much as I like you
sometimes I feel so lost
I don't know what to do
you show me a lot about the world
and what some people can do
and as a friend I thank you
for being beautiful and true." (again, I didn't write this)
"She thinks that I don't like her." Inuyasha said getting his tux from Miroku's closet.
"She likes you, why do you even care? I thought you just liked her as a friend. And at least she knows that you have a growing friendship now."
"Yeah, but…never mind, let's just get dressed and get over to my house then get this date over with already."
"What's your problem? Just yesterday, you were wishing to go out on a date with Kagome, and now you don't care at all." Miroku got dressed in his suit.
"I just don't know anymore, I just have all of these jumbled up feelings and I don't know which one I feel, should feel, or anything. All I know is what I want to feel."
"Which is what?"
"I want to be loved, I know we're young, but I don't know, every since I met Kagome again, my brain went to mush and I've been acting crazy."
"Just admit that you're more than friends, you're even more than a couple, and you're in love."
"Yeah, right. How can I fall in love? I'm only a teenager. Anyway, if I did, I wouldn't fall in love with Kagome, she's like my best friend."
"Then explain to me, why you're been acting like crazy and get all strange and different around Kagome."
"I don't know, let's just go to the social and then on our date."
"Ok, do you want Kagome to be happy at the social and her first date with you or anyone else?"
"Of course I do."
"Then you have to be happy too." Miroku opened the door. "No, let's pick up the girls and have a good time. Are you willing to make the best out of this and sort out your feelings later?"
"Yeah, sure, remember, this is my first date too, so I don't want to mess it up either." Inuyasha laughed.
Meanwhile…
"Hey, Kagome, what were you thinking when you read Inuyasha's poem?" Sango asked as they were putting on their makeup. They had already put on their dresses and hair up. They both had it in high buns with stands coming out. Kagome had a bun with strands wrapped around her bun with glittery clips, and Sango had glitter gel.
"What do you mean? I thought it was a sweet poem."
"I meant like, if you were reading it alone, how would have you reacted?"
"It was sweet, at least I know he thinks that we're best friends, and always will be." Kagome smiled.
"Yeah, but do you think he has a hidden meaning to that?"
"You think that's he's trying to tell me something?"
"I don't know, maybe. I'm confused now, let's just get downstairs, they guys are probably waiting for us." Sango said. So they went downstairs and saw the guys gaping at what they saw before them.
"Wow, Sango, you look beautiful." Miroku said pinning a corsage on Sango's dress.
As he was about to pin it on, "I can do the rest myself." Sango said and smiled.
"Kagome, you look absolutely stunning." Inuyasha said and pinned on her corsage on one of her straps.
"Thank you." Kagome smiled." Shall we get going?" 'What is up with him and using the word [i]stunning [/i]? Might as well play along.'
"So, do you want to walk?" Miroku asked.
"In these new shoes? " Sango lifted up her foot, "No way. We're getting one of our parents to drive us to the social."
Miroku laughed, "Alright, let's get my dad."
They went over to Miroku's house and drove over to the school. They went into the gymnasium where it was decorated in pink, red, and white ribbons. The music started to play rock, rap, and R&B music.
Inuyasha bowed and said, "May I have this dance?"
Kagome laughed then smiled. She just took his hand and started to twirl around and dance. Sango and Miroku already started dancing. "So, Inuyasha, why are you acting so polite? This isn't you."
"What do you mean, love?" Inuyasha smiled.
"See? You don't say that. You're acting really weird." Kagome said still twirling around. All of he sudden, the music changed to a soft, classical song. Inuyasha and Kagome were still dancing and a spotlight fell upon them. The light around grew dim and everyone circled the couple. Kagome looked up at the light and saw Miroku standing up there moving the light around. Inuyasha caught her attention to look at him. 'Oh, those deep brown eyes with golden shimmer are so cute. Why is he acting this way? He's usually obnoxious, stubborn, and aggravating. Why is he acting so…so nice?'
The music stopped and the microphone went on…
