~*~*~*~* DISCLAIMER ** No own Inu Yasha. There, satisfied???
~*~*~*~* Chapter 19 ~ Let's Get the Party Started *~*~*~*~
I walk quickly, noticing that the skies are already turning into a deeper shade color. The wind blow through my sweater. Fall is finally kicking in. After all, tomorrow IS the 27th of October, in other words.. The Halloween Festival. What can you expect? I smile to myself when I look at the decorations each student had put on their windows to show that they are all expecting the Halloween Festival.
As I examined the decorations from the other dormitories, I walk pass my mailbox. That's when I remember that I have to check it out EVERYDAY for this week. I take out my keys and started to open the door. There is nothing inside. Disappointed, I was about to close it again when suddenly my eyes spotted a note tucked inside. But it surely isn't a letter. I snatched in and read it. Inside it was a messy handwriting that read,
'KAGOME HIGURASHI, ROOM 10, PLEASE COME AND SEE MR. MYOGA. A PACKAGE HAS BEEN SENT FOR YOU. IF YOU WISH TO TAKE IT, COME ANYTIME!!!'
I giggled. Mr. Myoga is our dormitory caretaker, but he is so small and short (A/N har har har) that most students picked on him. He's also a scardy cat!!! When the giggles died out, I happily began to walk towards his room. When he said a 'package' it must have been the 'something' my mom was talking about! As much as I deny this in front of Sango, I am very curious about the present my mom sent me!
Entering my dorm, I knocked on Room 1. A voice came immediately.
"Who's there? What do you want?" The voice sounded a bit alarmed. I laugh to myself, but stopped almost abruptly.
"Uh, I'm Kagome Higurashi! I want to know if I can take my....." The door then swung open only to reveal the short, small, and wrinkly guy. I tried my best to smile, since he was beaming happily.
"Kagome Higurashi! I expect you want to take your package?"
"Yeah, that's the reason why I came here."
'Like I'll come here if I don't have any reason..' I thought to myself.
"Well, okay then! I'll go get it, meanwhile, will you please sign this?" Mr. Myoga handed me a piece of paper. I scanned it quickly and automatically sign the paper. (A/N it is just those kind of proof-s that you have already taken the package) I waited patiently in the door, when I heard a loud..
CLANG!
"OUCH!" That was Mr. Myoga's voice.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"Uh dear, if you can only give me a hand on your package...." I raised my eyebrows and walk slowly inside. Give him a hand? What is he talking about... I mean, that package cannot be THAT heavy, can it? When I saw the package, I stop.
I was right. It isn't heavy, since Mr. Myoga was able to lift it up. However, it is HUGE! It's about as tall as 2 meters, and as wide as 1 ½ meter! I can barely see Mr. Myoga if it's not up to his feet and his tiny hands. I gasped and quickly help him put the package.. MY package down.
"So, Higurashi dear, can you bring this to your dormitory by yourself? I'm sorry, I think I sprained my ankle or something. Ouch! Oh dear, I probably won't be able to walk properly for a few days.." Mr. Myoga said, sitting down and rubbing his ankle.
"Uh..." what on EARTH could mom be sending me? While I was still pondering on how to take this.. present.. a familiar voice was heard.
"Kagome?" I turned around and my heart give a shocking beat. In front of Mr. Myoga's room was Inu Yasha, looking so hot with his outfit (A/N I'm in the lazy mood. No strength to explain what he's wearing v_v; gomen!). He raised his eyebrows as he walk closer, entering the room.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked him. He smirked.
"I was actually going to ask you the same question. What are YOU doing here?"
"Well, I got a package from my mom. And I seem to have a few problems.."
"Why? Something wrong? Don't tell me it's Myoga's fault!" He said, looking at Mr. Myoga, only to make the poor, old man flinched.
"No, no, no! It's not Mr. Myoga's fault. See here, I can't lift this thing up!" I said, taking Inu Yasha's arm and showed him my package. Only then did I notice he was not looking at my package, but at my hand. I blushed and quickly take it away.
"Whoa! What's inside that thing?" Inu Yasha asked, surprised when he saw the package. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Have no idea. My mom said it's a present. I have no idea it's going to be this big though. Now how am I suppose to take this to the second floor....."
"Feh, as if you should ASK." Inu Yasha simply. I look at him and raised my eyebrows. Inu Yasha began to walk towards my package and lifted it easily. He looked shocked.
"Despite the size, it's pretty light." He said, walking towards the exit. I quickly follow him, mentioning my thanks to Mr. Myoga and hoping his strained ankle will be well again soon.
"So why are you here?" I asked Inu Yasha, who was trying to see in front of him. The large present my mom sent me was blocking his view.
"To see you.." that was barely a whisper. I spun my head so quickly it cracked a bit, and I gaped at Inu Yasha.
"Excuse me?" I asked him. I can't see Inu Yasha's face, the package was blocking my sight.
"I said I came here to ask Sango a favor." He said, quickly. Oh, okay then. The first answer MUST have been my imagination... or is it?
~*~*~*~* 10 MINUTES LATER (KAGOME'S ROOM) *~*~*~*~
"Bye bye Inu Yasha!" Sango shouted. Inu Yasha was about to close our door when he stopped and wave at her.
"Thanks for helping me out!" I said, smiling at him. He stared blankly at me and blushed, (I THINK that's a blush!) and quickly close the door. When he was gone, Sango quickly jumped to my bed.
"Hey, Kag! Care to rip some wrappers?" She said, nodding her head towards my package. I smiled eagerly at her and both of us jumped from my bed and raced towards the present.
"I wonder what's inside.." Sango muttered beside me.
"Who knows?" I said, as I try to open all the things that kept the lids together. (A/N Boy, I hate those stuffs!)
~*~*~*~* 15 MINUTES LATER *~*~*~*~
I blinked. Blinked again. And I blinked.
Sango took a deep breath. Let it go. Took another deep breath. (A/N alright, alright! Enough with those weird sentences ^.~)
In front of me was the present my mom had sent me. It's open. It's beautiful. It's unexpected. It's a dress of an angel.
It is about 2 meters long. Everything is pure silky white, with sparkling crystals shattered all around it. Since it is still put inside a glass container (you know those glass boxes that are awfully expensive and can contain things inside it without even scratching it? Well, it's not too common, but that's what I'm talking about) everything is still in order, and there is a statue figure using that dress so that the dress is not smash down or something. There are no wrinkles, no scratches... everything is just perfect. On the neck part of the statue, there is a very beautiful necklace. On the feet was a pair of crystal shoes (kind'a like the one from Cinderella) that glistened together with the light. On the head was a gorgeous looking tiara that is full of jewelry. But the most astounding thing of the dress is.. the wings.
The wings are attached to the dress. Wings made out of feathers. There are a few glittery sparkle to make it more interesting. It is as white as snow. It looked so soft. It is so beautiful. It is so huge but also pretty. I reached out to touch it, but I forgot there was the glass box.
"Wow Kagome, you're one of the lucky girls who can make me jealous.." Sango breathed beside me, her eyes glued to my mom's present. I smiled.
"Really?" I look up at Sango, who was also crouching over to the dress. Then I noticed a note tied to the glass. I pick it up. I know the handwriting. It's mom.
"What's that?" Sango asked.
"I think it's another letter from my mom." I began to open the envelope and took out the paper.
Dearest Kagome,
So how do you like it? I work so hard to getting this finish before Halloween. I hope you'll put it on for your costume party. I even hire a very famous designer to design this for you. I really hope you like it.
One word of warning, those wings are made of real feathers. They are very fragile. And the shoes... well, I made a mistake, I forgot to tell the designer that you are a clutz (sorry dear, but that's the truth.. Right? Hahaha) and so he made the shoes out of pure glass! It may break to pieces if you're not careful! Ahahaha! The tiara is also quite expensive! If you break it, I'll take your allowance for a year! That's how much it cost! ... Especially the necklace. You would like to know that it is antique.. but I'm not really sure... anyways, please be very careful with the costume. It cost a lot, dearie!
I know what you're thinking, why do I give you such a 'dangerous' present? Well, I want you to look beautiful dear! And who knows.. but you already have a boyfriend already! You should care more about fashion! Ahahaha!
P.S Oh, I forgot! Don't open the glass box unless you're ready
to use it!
Lots of Love,
Xxx Mom xxX
I blushed to myself when mom said I have a boyfriend. Who is she referring to?
"So what does it say?" Sango said, still examining every inch of the costume.
"Well, she just said that this is a costume for the Halloween.." I handed her the letter so she can read it herself. With every line she read, her eyes widened. When she finished,
"MAN KAGOME! Everything here is THAT expensive? You gotta be kiddin' me!" She shrieked. I smile to myself and take a long look at my mom's present. As much as I hate the Halloween Festival, I can't deny that I cannot wait to use that dress!
~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~
Think I'll stop now? HAHAHA, this is a joke! I'm not stopping now! Am I kind or what? So let's go back to the story! IT'S THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL!
~*~*~*~* SHIN **POV** *~*~*~*~
Even though it's still early in the morning (A/N and I forgot to mention this is a normal school day. Even though you have to steal people's treats, you're still studying! Get the meaning? Studying while you are tied with someone...? ^.^) the school was already up and about. Even Sango was already looking angry. Kagome was just too darn nervous. The same question comes to her mind, 'who will be my partner?'
"Are you ready to go Kag?" Sango said, as she angrily push her socks to her feet. Kagome took her jacket from her closet.
"Uh.. Yeah, I guess."
"Let's go then." Sango said, pulling the door open (angrily ^.^). "Even though it's early, the Relax Pod will be full, since it is THAT day." Kagome quickly follow her.
As they finally reach the Relax Pod, both of the girls begin to look for their friends. Sango's right, the Relax Pod IS full!!! Sango turn her head impatiently while Kagome just scan the place carelessly.
"Yo, Sango! Kagome!" Both of the girls turned around when they heard the voice calling them. They know the voice very well, Miroku.
"How are you two beautiful goddesses feeling this morning?" Miroku smile his famous smile. Sango give him a death glare.
"Oh!" She snapped. "Couldn't have been BETTER!" Miroku blinked.
"What happened to you Sango? Did you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something?"
"No" she snapped again. "Just woke up on the wrong side of the world!" Miroku suddenly beamed.
"Aaaah, I get it! It's because of the Halloween Festival, isn't it? Man! Sango, your attitude is always something funny! I mean, I couldn't WAIT to get it started! I barely sleep last night because I couldn't wait for today!"
"And you won't believe how that affects ME..." another voice joined them again. Kagome smiled... it's Inu Yasha.
"Morning, Inu." She smiled at him. Inu Yasha flashed her another smile. Both of their eyes locked. Then, at the same time, the two turned away and blushed. Luckily, Sango and Miroku both didn't notice that. Miroku pretended to frown.
"What do you mean, Inu Yasha?" Inu Yasha rolled his eyes.
"What I mean is you shouting half of the night saying 'Do you think I'll be partners again with Sango?' or 'Do you think I can tell Sango..'"
"WHY DON'T WE GO AND EAT BREAKFAST RIGHT AWAY GUYS?" Miroku suddenly shouted, closing Inu Yasha's voice. Inu Yasha smirked. Both Kagome and Sango raised their eyebrows, especially when they saw that Miroku was blushing.
~*~*~*~* 30 MINUTES LATER (IN THE GYM) *~*~*~*~
The students of School Of Four Souls were all buzzing loudly as they waited the principals to start the Halloween Festival. Kagome, Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Sango had all seat down in the back of the gym. Sango was really angry, Miroku really happy, Kagome really nervous, and Inu Yasha... doesn't really care v_v;.
"So what did Miroku plan to tell Sango today?" Kagome whispered to Inu Yasha. She's sitting next to him, therefore they can have a conversation like this. Inu Yasha smirk.
"Oh you know. He was planning to ask her out today, IF they are partners AGAIN." Inu Yasha added. Kagome squealed with joy, forgetting that's she supposed to be nervous.
"It's really about time they asked each other out. I mean, too bad that Miroku didn't asked Sango that day on the beach.." Kagome said, eyeing Miroku and Sango closely, who was sitting beside her (A/N This is how they seat, Inu Yasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku).
"Feh. If I'm Miroku, I would have asked her out ages ago!" Inu Yasha stated confidently.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrright." Kagome muttered.
"Hey, wench, what does that supposed to mean?" Inu Yasha growled. Kagome was just about to reply back when suddenly Mr. Totousai and Mrs. Kaede stepped up into the stage.
"Good morning students!" Mr. Totousai shouted to the mike. The students cheered in reply. They are really excited to begin the Halloween Festival.
"I'm sure all of you know why we are all gathered here in this special morning, yes?" The principal continued. More cheers from the students. Mr. Totousai smiled to himself.
"Well then! I'll hand the mike down for Mrs. Kaede to explain how the Halloween Festival works---" Mr. Totousai handed Mrs. Kaede the mike and she began to explain everything about the Halloween. Luckily Kagome already heard the rules from her friends, or else she might choke right on that very place.
"-I think that's about all." Mrs. Kaede finished. She was about to hand the mike back to Mr. Totousai when she suddenly remembered, "Oh yes! I forgot! There are a few new rules to apply in the Halloween Festival! Do you guys remember how we used to tie the people's hands for the first couple of days of the festival? Well~~~, now we're tying the hands AND the feet! I hope that'll make it more fun!" As Mrs. Kaede handed back the mike to Mr. Totousai, Sango jumped up to her feet.
"WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!?!?!?" She shouted. Miroku and Kagome quickly push her down again. Sango turned her head towards Kagome.
"Did you hear that Kag? She said we'll be tied hands AND feet! Is she insane or what?" Sango continued to mutter a few bad words. Kagome, meanwhile, just gulped and look nervously at the stage.
"So let's get the party started.." Mr. Totousai said after a few moments. "As usual, will all the boys walk up to the stage and get a piece of paper that shows a girl's name from this box?"
All of the boys begin to stand up and rush over to the stage. Miroku was already practically running, while Inu Yasha just acted as if he was FORCED to go there (A/N yeah right.. He was actually hoping to get Kagome.. Oops! Not part of the story! Let's go back again! Ehehehe ^^).
~*~*~*~* INU YASHA **POV** *~*~*~*~
"Hey Inu.." Miroku whispered to me.
"What?" I asked in a dull tone.
"What are the chances of me getting Sango as my partner again?" I took a deep breath. This is the same question he had asked me for a million times!
"I don't know and if you ask me that question again I will pray to the gods above that you will NEVER get her as your partner again!" I hissed. Miroku frowned but he put his attention back to the stage. Following him my eyes also fall to the stage. Hojo was up there. I know that Hojo was hoping to get Kagome. Heck, IF he gets Kagome, I'll KILL him... Wait. Why am I thinking like that? I don't care who I got as my partner and who KAGOME gets as HER partner!
But that's not true.. I want to be Kagome's partner... I really do. ARGH, QUIT TALKING TO YOURSELF DUMMY!
I put my attention back to the stage where Hojo was already taking a piece of paper from the box. He opened it slowly and his eyes widened, but he frowned. YES! If he frowned, that means he DIDN'T get Kagome!
"Well, Hojo?" Mr. Totousai asked him. "Will you please tell us who you got as your partner?"
"Yura Shikigami" Hojo shouted back. (A/N I don't know Yura's last name, duh. So I made it up) I took a deep breath of relief. Mr. Totousai smiled and look at the crowd of girls still sitting down.
"Yura! Please come up!"
After a few more students, it was Miroku's turn. He gulped when his name was mentioned. He look at me pleadingly and for once I felt pity for him. I smack him on the back and whispered.
"You'll get her... she's yours." Miroku flashed me a nervous smile as he walk slowly towards the stage. He put his trembling hands in the box and finally he pull out a paper. He look down at it nervously and.. he smiled!
"SANGOOOOO BABYYYYYY! YOU'RE MIIIIIIINE AGAIIIIIN!" Urgh! I can't believe that guy! And somewhere over the distance, I heard a loud groan. (A/N ^^ evil meeeee)
~*~*~*~* After a few more students *~*~*~*~
Naraku was up there. Urgh, let him have that slut. Let him have Kikyo. If he GOT Kagome as his partner, I swear I'll tear him apart!
He put his dirty, slimy hand on the box and pull out a piece of paper. When he look at it, he frowned.
"Who is it Naraku?" Mrs. Kaede asked. He quickly flashed her a fake smile. I hold my breath.
"Kikyo, Miko Kikyo." He said.
"YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! MY BABY GOT ME!" I turned my head and stared in disgust. Kikyo was skipping towards the stage and began to drag Naraku. I let out another sigh of relief, at least he got what he deserves. And that also leaves me free from getting that wench!
Next was Kouga. He walk confidently and put his hand in the box. He pulled it out and stare at it for a few seconds.
"Kouga? Who is it?" Mrs. Kaede asked for the hundredth time. Kouga smirked. Uh-oh I got a baaaaaaaaaad feeling about this. Please don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have..
"Kagome Higurashi" Kouga said simply.
"WHAT?!?!?!" I shouted before I can stop myself. I stared unbelievingly at Kouga. No! He couldn't have possibly.. I turned my eyes and look at Kagome. She looked as if she had been stroked by a thunderbolt. I turn my head back to the stage, just in time to see Mrs. Kaede frowned and grab the paper from Kouga.
"No you don't. You got Ayame, Ayame Wolfie!" Mrs. Kaede said and look daggers at Kouga.
"Oops, must have read it incorrectly then." He said innocently. ARGH that wimpy wolf! How DARE he tried to trick people into getting Kagome? But, once again, I let out a breath of relief.
A few more students were called, suddenly Mr. Totousai called my name.
"Inu Yasha! You're next! Please come up to the stage!" I gulped. I didn't notice it was my turn already. I hope against hope that I'll get Kagome. I walk up to the stage as my head spin in circles, thinking of Kagome and Kagome only. I put my hand into the box and feel dozens of papers. I picked one, but it fell. I took a deep breath and finally take another one and quickly take it out. I look at it, and hold my breath. However, my tight mouth suddenly loosened as I look at the paper.
"Who did you get, Inu Yasha?" Mrs. Kaede asked. I look at her and smile,
"Kagome Higurashi."
~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~
Is that a cliffhanger? Ahahah, peeps, I'm sorry! But bear with me! Anyways, sorry for taking so long. I'm trying to catch up with my new school. Damn'it! It's soooo hard!
Well anyways, I'm sure you guys don't want to listen to me lecturing about my hard, boring life. Ehm, just a minute. I won't be doing the Thank You Corner for this chapter coz I'm just so darn tired. Starting from now, I'll only be doing that whenever I feel like it, alright? Sorry for those who asked me questions about my story...
Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter! Bye bye

I blushed to myself when mom said I have a boyfriend. Who is she referring to?

"Well, she just said that this is a costume for the Halloween.." I handed her the letter so she can read it herself. With every line she read, her eyes widened. When she finished,
"MAN KAGOME! Everything here is THAT expensive? You gotta be kiddin' me!" She shrieked. I smile to myself and take a long look at my mom's present. As much as I hate the Halloween Festival, I can't deny that I cannot wait to use that dress!

Think I'll stop now? HAHAHA, this is a joke! I'm not stopping now! Am I kind or what? So let's go back to the story! IT'S THE HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL!
~*~*~*~* SHIN **POV** *~*~*~*~
Even though it's still early in the morning (A/N and I forgot to mention this is a normal school day. Even though you have to steal people's treats, you're still studying! Get the meaning? Studying while you are tied with someone...? ^.^) the school was already up and about. Even Sango was already looking angry. Kagome was just too darn nervous. The same question comes to her mind, 'who will be my partner?'
"Are you ready to go Kag?" Sango said, as she angrily push her socks to her feet. Kagome took her jacket from her closet.
"Uh.. Yeah, I guess."
"Let's go then." Sango said, pulling the door open (angrily ^.^). "Even though it's early, the Relax Pod will be full, since it is THAT day." Kagome quickly follow her.
As they finally reach the Relax Pod, both of the girls begin to look for their friends. Sango's right, the Relax Pod IS full!!! Sango turn her head impatiently while Kagome just scan the place carelessly.
"Yo, Sango! Kagome!" Both of the girls turned around when they heard the voice calling them. They know the voice very well, Miroku.
"How are you two beautiful goddesses feeling this morning?" Miroku smile his famous smile. Sango give him a death glare.
"Oh!" She snapped. "Couldn't have been BETTER!" Miroku blinked.
"What happened to you Sango? Did you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something?"
"No" she snapped again. "Just woke up on the wrong side of the world!" Miroku suddenly beamed.
"Aaaah, I get it! It's because of the Halloween Festival, isn't it? Man! Sango, your attitude is always something funny! I mean, I couldn't WAIT to get it started! I barely sleep last night because I couldn't wait for today!"
"And you won't believe how that affects ME..." another voice joined them again. Kagome smiled... it's Inu Yasha.
"Morning, Inu." She smiled at him. Inu Yasha flashed her another smile. Both of their eyes locked. Then, at the same time, the two turned away and blushed. Luckily, Sango and Miroku both didn't notice that. Miroku pretended to frown.
"What do you mean, Inu Yasha?" Inu Yasha rolled his eyes.
"What I mean is you shouting half of the night saying 'Do you think I'll be partners again with Sango?' or 'Do you think I can tell Sango..'"
"WHY DON'T WE GO AND EAT BREAKFAST RIGHT AWAY GUYS?" Miroku suddenly shouted, closing Inu Yasha's voice. Inu Yasha smirked. Both Kagome and Sango raised their eyebrows, especially when they saw that Miroku was blushing.
~*~*~*~* 30 MINUTES LATER (IN THE GYM) *~*~*~*~
The students of School Of Four Souls were all buzzing loudly as they waited the principals to start the Halloween Festival. Kagome, Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Sango had all seat down in the back of the gym. Sango was really angry, Miroku really happy, Kagome really nervous, and Inu Yasha... doesn't really care v_v;.
"So what did Miroku plan to tell Sango today?" Kagome whispered to Inu Yasha. She's sitting next to him, therefore they can have a conversation like this. Inu Yasha smirk.
"Oh you know. He was planning to ask her out today, IF they are partners AGAIN." Inu Yasha added. Kagome squealed with joy, forgetting that's she supposed to be nervous.
"It's really about time they asked each other out. I mean, too bad that Miroku didn't asked Sango that day on the beach.." Kagome said, eyeing Miroku and Sango closely, who was sitting beside her (A/N This is how they seat, Inu Yasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku).
"Feh. If I'm Miroku, I would have asked her out ages ago!" Inu Yasha stated confidently.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrright." Kagome muttered.
"Hey, wench, what does that supposed to mean?" Inu Yasha growled. Kagome was just about to reply back when suddenly Mr. Totousai and Mrs. Kaede stepped up into the stage.
"Good morning students!" Mr. Totousai shouted to the mike. The students cheered in reply. They are really excited to begin the Halloween Festival.
"I'm sure all of you know why we are all gathered here in this special morning, yes?" The principal continued. More cheers from the students. Mr. Totousai smiled to himself.
"Well then! I'll hand the mike down for Mrs. Kaede to explain how the Halloween Festival works---" Mr. Totousai handed Mrs. Kaede the mike and she began to explain everything about the Halloween. Luckily Kagome already heard the rules from her friends, or else she might choke right on that very place.
"-I think that's about all." Mrs. Kaede finished. She was about to hand the mike back to Mr. Totousai when she suddenly remembered, "Oh yes! I forgot! There are a few new rules to apply in the Halloween Festival! Do you guys remember how we used to tie the people's hands for the first couple of days of the festival? Well~~~, now we're tying the hands AND the feet! I hope that'll make it more fun!" As Mrs. Kaede handed back the mike to Mr. Totousai, Sango jumped up to her feet.
"WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!?!?!?" She shouted. Miroku and Kagome quickly push her down again. Sango turned her head towards Kagome.
"Did you hear that Kag? She said we'll be tied hands AND feet! Is she insane or what?" Sango continued to mutter a few bad words. Kagome, meanwhile, just gulped and look nervously at the stage.
"So let's get the party started.." Mr. Totousai said after a few moments. "As usual, will all the boys walk up to the stage and get a piece of paper that shows a girl's name from this box?"
All of the boys begin to stand up and rush over to the stage. Miroku was already practically running, while Inu Yasha just acted as if he was FORCED to go there (A/N yeah right.. He was actually hoping to get Kagome.. Oops! Not part of the story! Let's go back again! Ehehehe ^^).
~*~*~*~* INU YASHA **POV** *~*~*~*~
"Hey Inu.." Miroku whispered to me.
"What?" I asked in a dull tone.
"What are the chances of me getting Sango as my partner again?" I took a deep breath. This is the same question he had asked me for a million times!
"I don't know and if you ask me that question again I will pray to the gods above that you will NEVER get her as your partner again!" I hissed. Miroku frowned but he put his attention back to the stage. Following him my eyes also fall to the stage. Hojo was up there. I know that Hojo was hoping to get Kagome. Heck, IF he gets Kagome, I'll KILL him... Wait. Why am I thinking like that? I don't care who I got as my partner and who KAGOME gets as HER partner!
But that's not true.. I want to be Kagome's partner... I really do. ARGH, QUIT TALKING TO YOURSELF DUMMY!
I put my attention back to the stage where Hojo was already taking a piece of paper from the box. He opened it slowly and his eyes widened, but he frowned. YES! If he frowned, that means he DIDN'T get Kagome!
"Well, Hojo?" Mr. Totousai asked him. "Will you please tell us who you got as your partner?"
"Yura Shikigami" Hojo shouted back. (A/N I don't know Yura's last name, duh. So I made it up) I took a deep breath of relief. Mr. Totousai smiled and look at the crowd of girls still sitting down.
"Yura! Please come up!"
After a few more students, it was Miroku's turn. He gulped when his name was mentioned. He look at me pleadingly and for once I felt pity for him. I smack him on the back and whispered.
"You'll get her... she's yours." Miroku flashed me a nervous smile as he walk slowly towards the stage. He put his trembling hands in the box and finally he pull out a paper. He look down at it nervously and.. he smiled!
"SANGOOOOO BABYYYYYY! YOU'RE MIIIIIIINE AGAIIIIIN!" Urgh! I can't believe that guy! And somewhere over the distance, I heard a loud groan. (A/N ^^ evil meeeee)
~*~*~*~* After a few more students *~*~*~*~
Naraku was up there. Urgh, let him have that slut. Let him have Kikyo. If he GOT Kagome as his partner, I swear I'll tear him apart!
He put his dirty, slimy hand on the box and pull out a piece of paper. When he look at it, he frowned.
"Who is it Naraku?" Mrs. Kaede asked. He quickly flashed her a fake smile. I hold my breath.
"Kikyo, Miko Kikyo." He said.
"YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! MY BABY GOT ME!" I turned my head and stared in disgust. Kikyo was skipping towards the stage and began to drag Naraku. I let out another sigh of relief, at least he got what he deserves. And that also leaves me free from getting that wench!
Next was Kouga. He walk confidently and put his hand in the box. He pulled it out and stare at it for a few seconds.
"Kouga? Who is it?" Mrs. Kaede asked for the hundredth time. Kouga smirked. Uh-oh I got a baaaaaaaaaad feeling about this. Please don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have Kagome, don't let him have..
"Kagome Higurashi" Kouga said simply.
"WHAT?!?!?!" I shouted before I can stop myself. I stared unbelievingly at Kouga. No! He couldn't have possibly.. I turned my eyes and look at Kagome. She looked as if she had been stroked by a thunderbolt. I turn my head back to the stage, just in time to see Mrs. Kaede frowned and grab the paper from Kouga.
"No you don't. You got Ayame, Ayame Wolfie!" Mrs. Kaede said and look daggers at Kouga.
"Oops, must have read it incorrectly then." He said innocently. ARGH that wimpy wolf! How DARE he tried to trick people into getting Kagome? But, once again, I let out a breath of relief.
A few more students were called, suddenly Mr. Totousai called my name.
"Inu Yasha! You're next! Please come up to the stage!" I gulped. I didn't notice it was my turn already. I hope against hope that I'll get Kagome. I walk up to the stage as my head spin in circles, thinking of Kagome and Kagome only. I put my hand into the box and feel dozens of papers. I picked one, but it fell. I took a deep breath and finally take another one and quickly take it out. I look at it, and hold my breath. However, my tight mouth suddenly loosened as I look at the paper.
"Who did you get, Inu Yasha?" Mrs. Kaede asked. I look at her and smile,
"Kagome Higurashi."
~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~
