~*~*~*~* Chapter 22 ~ To be your date tomorrow.. *~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~* Inu Yasha ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
I could hardly sleep last night. My mind had rewind every single moment of the short conversation I had with Kagome yesterday night. Yes.. Kagome.. she had always been on my mind. Always. Even at this very moment, I could feel my heart beating wildly the moment I remembered her name. Every bit of her made me grow crazy. I'm not even sure why. Her face, her smile, her hair, her smell, her voice... everything. Everything about her was driving me nuts. How did she do this to me? WHY did she do this to me? I've had dozens of relationships with girls before her, but.. she's different. Something about her made me fly into the skies yet I'm falling into the endless sea at the same time. Everything about her was so beautiful, so nice, so........ comforting. Just like her kiss yesterday. Her kiss....
"Eaaaarth to Inu Yasha!!!" Miroku shouted.
"Huh? What?" I asked stupidly, as I realized how, once again, my thoughts had drifted straight to Kagome. Miroku was giving me an annoyed look.
"You're so out of it today! What's the matter with you?"
"What're you talking about?" I said, defending myself. Okay, sure... I HAD been thinking about her since I had woke up from my 2 hours of sleep. But what could I do? She's always on my mind. It's not as if I WANT her to be there. Besides, I really, really, REALLY wanted to see her. But it's still 7 in the morning, and breakfast starts at 8 something. So I would have to wait for another hour. Damn, I really wanted to see her face, her smile...
"Heeeee~~~looooo?" Miroku shouted, waving his hands straight in front of my eyes. He looked at me. "See? See what I'm talking about? You're not on earth!!! You're on Pluto!!!"
"Feh." I said, looking away from him and started to walk straight to my bed again. Miroku cleared his throat.
"What's the problem, Inu?"
"What do you mean 'what's the problem'? I have no problem!" Miroku chuckled.
"Girls?" I stopped dead on my track, but I still wouldn't look at him. Miroku laughed.
"Bulls eye!" he shouted and grinned. "Let me guess.. were you thinking about Kagome?"
Damn it! How did he know?
"Hell no!" I lied as I tried to stop my face from blushing. I failed miserably, however. Miroku laughed harder as he sat down on his bed.
"Dude! Why don't you just ask her out?" He asked. My jaws dropped mentally.
"Asked her out?!?!?!" I repeated stupidly. "I can't do that!" Miroku smirked.
"Good, you finally agreed that you WERE thinking about Kagome." I slapped myself mentally. "Hey, hey, it's normal. Kagome's a nice girl, not to mention gorgeous too..." I gave Miroku a dangerous look, which he ignored completely, instead he continued with his sentence. "And, she's perfect for you."
"You think so?" I asked him, a little too desperate than I wanted it to sound. But instead of giving me a silly grin, Miroku nodded his head.
"Sure. You two matched together. I'm sure if you asked her out, she'll say yes immediately. So what's the problem? Weren't you the one who told me that 'you're not scared to ask any girl in this whole planet'? Weren't you the one laughing your eyes out when I was having troubles asking Sango out? Weren't you the one who was always saying it's such an easy thing to ask a girl to be your girlfriend when you're 99.99% sure of what the answer will be? Weren't you the one..."
"Okay, fine! I get the picture already!" Miroku smirked, making me feel really stupid. Okay, so what if I DID say that to him when he was going to confess to Sango? Kagome's a more complicated girl. She's not as easily read as Sango....
"So what are you going to do?" Miroku asked. I scowled at him.
"What do YOU think I should do? You told me to ask her out. So you think I'll just go to her and say 'hey, Kagome, you wanna go out with me tonight?'" I said sarcastically.
"That might work..." Miroku said, "even though it sure as hell is an ugly way to approach a girl."
"Feh. So how am I suppose to ask her out?"
"Do you want to do it or not? That's the question you need to ask yourself before even THINKING about how you should do it."
"Hey, dimwit. If I'm already asking you about it, that means I WANT to ask her out, okay?" I said without really thinking what I was saying. When I realized what I had said, I could feel my ears burning. Miroku smirked. Damn, I hated it when he smirked. It made him seemed to be more smarter than me, which was not true.
"How about the dance tomorrow?"
"What about it?" I asked, even though the lightbulb in my head were starting to light.
"Du~uh. Ask her to be your dance-partner for tomorrow's dance!" Miroku said matter-of-factly. "I already asked Sango, and she accepted." He added, smiling to himself.
"That's because she's your girlfriend, pervert." I said. However, my mind was already off to Pluto again.
That might just work! If I ask her out for the dance, it wouldn't seemed to be so.. so... so obvious. And if... IF she accepted, then I get a chance to dance with her! It will be an awesome night! But.. what if she rejected me?
My heart suddenly twisted painfully as the thought of 'rejection' entered my mind. Miroku must have noticed the sudden change of expression on my face, coz he asked,
"What's the matter, Inu?"
"Wh... what if she rejected my offer?" I looked at Miroku out of the corners of my eyes. Miroku laughed.
"This is why I like the Halloween Festival so much.." He said between his laughs.
"He~llo? You're switching the subject heeere!"
"Ask her out today!" Miroku said, a little bit too exciting for his own good. "Today is the 'trick-or-treat' day! Ask her out as your 'treat'. That way, if she rejects you, you can say that it was just a way so that you can 'trick' her for the rest of the day! You wouldn't be ashamed, right?!?!?! At least not in front of the whole school.." he added.
~*~*~*~* 2 HOURS LATER *~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~* KAGOME ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
"See you then, Kagome!" Sango shouted. I smiled at her, as she and Miroku walked, hands attached to each other, towards wherever they wanted to put their 'trick-or-treat' day into action. After they disappeared, I glanced beside me. Inu Yasha was there, looking extremely cute (as always). I smiled at him, and suddenly he blushed. Huh? Did he just blushed?
Thinking that he must have had too much breakfast that morning, I pushed the thought aside. Instead, I asked him,
"So, should we start to look for a place to sit down or something?" I asked.
"What about the benches in the garden?" He said. I nodded and walked towards the exit of the building. When I reached outside, the chilly wind of October invited me. That reminded me of something..
"Inu Yasha?" I said. He immediately turned his head so he was looking at me.. and I couldn't resist looking at his beautiful eyes.
"Uh..." I said, forcing my eyes to look away and grabbed my backpack. I unzipped it and carefully took out Inu Yasha's sweater he had lent me yesterday night.
"Thanks." I said as I gave it to the guy beside me. Inu Yasha reluctantly took it from me, and I couldn't help but notice that his hand was touching mine. (A/N Okay, both of them are hopeless romantics.. bear with me! ^_^)
So both of us finally found a free bench and sat down. I realized that it was the same bench we had spent our conversation last night. I smiled secretly. It was a great thing that today was Saturday, because then we didn't have to spend 'trick-or-treat' day on classes.
"Why don't you go first?" Inu Yasha said beside me. That was when it occurred to me, I really didn't have anything to ask Inu Yasha for trick-or- treat.
"Well?" Inu Yasha asked impatiently. Suddenly, I smirked as an evil thought came across my mind.
"Okay, so for my treat, you'll have to buy me dinner for exactly 2 weeks. Every single day." I added. Inu Yasha's expression changed drastically.
"What the heck?!" He shouted. I laughed. "No. No way I'm going to buy you dinner for 2 whole weeks! You have your own money, why don't you use it?"
"Hey... so what if I have my own money? This is what trick-or-treat is for, right?" I smiled evilly.
"Feh. No." Inu Yasha stated without hesitation.
"Okay then. But I would like to remind you that the tricks I've already prepared for this day are quite scary." And I laughed evilly.
"Fine, I'll treat you dinner... but only for a week, okay?" Inu Yasha said grumpily. I laughed mentally. The truth was, I didn't even had a single trick prepared!!! Oh thank goodness for my acting talent!
"No, two weeks." I stated.
"Sheesh. You wanna gain weight or something?" Inu Yasha said sarcastically. I could feel my face turned red with both anger and embarrassment.
"What do you know about my weight? And if you ever mention anything like that again, I'll make it 3 weeks."
"WHAT?!?!?!" Inu Yasha shouted. I smiled evilly. "You... you..." he said, speechless.
"I'm what? Evil?" I teased, and then laughed.
"One week, okay?" Inu Yasha pleaded.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Cummon! I don't have that much money on my wallet at the moment!"
"Get it from the bank. I'll even drive you there if you want to."
"Hey, wench! One week is already good enough!" Inu Yasha finally shouted once again, standing up. I rubbed my temple slowly, trying to control my patience.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! AND WHEN I SAY SOMETHING I WILL NEVER TAKE IT BACK!!!!" I shouted, causing some nearby birds to fly away for dear life. Inu Yasha sighed.
"Fine, whatever." He said, falling back to his seat without so much as an ounce of energy.
"Two weeks then?" I asked with a smile.
"Two weeks it is." Inu Yasha said, without any emotion.
"What's the matter with you?" I asked, finding it strange how someone could get so energized one moment and so empty within a second.
"Nothing..."
What? He couldn't have been angry with me just because I asked him to pay my dinner for two weeks right? Right?
"Uuummm... Inu Yasha?"
"Hmmmm?" Inu Yasha asked without even looking at me. I pointed my finger to each other and stared hard at the ground.
"You're not... angry, are you?" I asked. I could feel Inu Yasha's eyes staring at me. Silence passed both of us.. until,
"No! What makes you say that?!?!?" Inu Yasha asked.
"It's just that.. You're quiet suddenly."
"Oh..." Inu Yasha stared at the ground. He fidgeted with his hands. I couldn't help it, my curiosity was killing me. I leaned closer to him, hoping that he would spill whatever was on his mind at the moment.
Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw that Inu Yasha was blushing. Oookay, now I'm REALLY interested. What was he thinking?
"Inu Yasha?" I asked. He then sighed deeply before he turned around and looked at me straight in the eye. He looked dead serious.
"Kagome?" He asked.
"What?"
"Are you... um.. by any chance.. going to the dance tomorrow?"
"Duh.. dance?" I repeated, shocked to know that the dance was the one that had been bothering Inu Yasha.
"Uhm... yeah. The dance tomorrow.. you know, use a costume and dance with a partner?"
"I KNOW what the dance tomorrow is about." I said, "I was just surprised you want to talk about it. You really don't seem to be the I'm-going-to- the-dance-and-I-really-care-about-it person, you know what I'm talking about?"
"N.. NO! You got the wrong idea! I don't really care about the dance.. it's just that... uhm...." Inu Yasha trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging half way.
"Yeah? What?"
"So... uh.. I was wondering...." He paused again. This was really getting on my nerves.
"What is it? This is so unlike you to be hesitant!"
Inu Yasha then shifted his gaze to the ground and whispered something I couldn't hear.
"What? What did you say?" I asked. Inu Yasha's face turned red as he took a deep breath and said something I could barely hear. And what I heard was,
"Doyouwanttogotothedancewithme?"
"Excuse me?!?!?!" I asked, not really catching what he had just said. Inu Yasha took a really deep breath before he slowly opened his mouth and said,
"Do you want to go to the dance with me?" he asked.
Immediately, I could feel my face turning red and my jaw dropping a few inches. What? Did I just heard what I thought I heard? Did... did Inu Yasha just asked me to go to the dance with HIM? He asked ME?
Inu Yasha's reaction was quick.
"O.. Of course. I mean, if you don't want to go out with me, I understand. I was just wondering if you want to, you know, go with someone you know and... Well.." before Inu Yasha could finish his explanation however, I interrupted him.
"E.. Excuse me, but did you just asked ME to be your date for tomorrow?"
Inu Yasha nodded, his face so red I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. His eyes were so serious, even though they also showed great fear. This meant one thing, he was not lying.
"Oh my..." I whispered to myself. Inu Yasha's words were ringing non-stop on my mind. 'Do you want to go to the dance with me?' He said that. Inu Yasha said that!!!
I noticed that he was looking at me, expecting my answer. But all I managed to say was, once again,
"Oh my........"
I suddenly stood up from the bench and took a deep breath, Inu Yasha's words still ringing on my ears.
"Well..." I said slowly, "Kouga-kun DID asked me to go and be his partner for tomorrow's dance.."
"THAT WOLF?" Inu Yasha shouted before he could stop himself.
"Uh huh, and Hojou-kun too. But I didn't give any of them a strait answer yet. And, of course, I would prefer you over both of them. So I guess... I'll just call them to reject their offer."
"Wuh.. Wait.." Inu Yasha interrupted. I turned to look at him, suddenly feeling very happy.
"Duh... Does that mean that you WANT to be my partner for tomorrow?" Inu Yasha asked, his voice a little shaky. I'm feeling quite shaky myself! I mean, who would ever believe that Inu Yasha would ask me to be his date tomorrow? 'Do you want to go to the dance with me?' those were the best words I had ever heard for weeks!
"I'd love to." I said, trying to control my smile, which I failed miserably. Inu Yasha immediately smiled, the most gorgeous smile I had ever seen. I suddenly felt as if I was floating. I sat back down again, beside him. I could feel him moving closer towards me. I smiled secretly as I scooted closer to him too. We didn't stop until we were finally touching each other, but he didn't move, and neither do I.
Both of us sat silently, enjoying the wind blowing our way and ruffling my raven hair. I imagined what tomorrow night would be like. I would be spending the whole evening accompanying Sango to the salons to do her hair and then take her to get her nails done. Then, it'll be the dance. I'd get to wear my angel costume, and dance with Inu Yasha!!! How good could things get?
"Kagome?" I heard Inu Yasha called me. I looked up, the smile still plastered on my face. I quickly noticed that Inu Yasha was smiling too.
"Since I believe we're done with the trick-or-treat, what do you say about going to the mall?"
I smirked. I couldn't helped it, but I keep on having the feeling that Inu Yasha was taking me out on an official date. Okay, maybe not OFFICIAL, but almost!
Beside me, I noticed that Inu Yasha had stand up. I stand up too, and began to walk towards the exit, feeling so happy I swore I could have exploded out of happiness.
~*~*~*~* 20 MINUTES LATER *~*~*~*~
I practically skipped the moment we entered the mall. It wasn't really crowded, which I was really glad for. Then I turned around and looked at Inu Yasha. My eyes locked with his and I was lost once again at the beautiful color of his pupil. I forced myself to look away from him and asked,
"Where do you want to go now?"
"Uhm, up to you."
"Starbucks?"
"Sure."
"Okay." Then I started to walk awkwardly towards Starbucks. I was still trying to figure out why Inu Yasha had this effect on me. It doesn't made any sense. I had never had the same feeling to anyone else before. Not even my ex-boyfriend. Okay, so maybe Inu Yasha was different, but how? How was he different? What made him so special for me?
My thoughts were cut immediately the moment I felt something tangled up my hands. I glanced down and noticed that Inu Yasha's hand was holding mine. I couldn't help but to smile and a sudden feeling of happiness swept over me. In return, I tightened the grip.
"Inu Yasha..." I said.
"Yeah?" he replied.
"What are you going to dress up as tomorrow?"
"I got a few ideas. But I don't really think about them unless I really have to. But, you know..."
"Uhm?"
"My transformation is tomorrow." Inu Yasha whispered. Then I remembered,
"Oh," I whispered back, "you're going to be in your hanyou form, right?"
"Uh huh. I hope you wouldn't freak." He said. I laughed.
"Nope, I won't. In fact, I can't wait to see you in your hanyou state! Oh my gosh, I truly can't wait for tomorrow. It'll be so cool, and my costume is an ...."
"KAGOME?!?!?!?!" A voice shouted out of nowhere. Huh? What? Did somebody just called my name? I turned around, Inu Yasha did the same. On the back of me, I saw a very familiar face. Wait, make that TWO familiar faces. One of them was none other than Inu Yasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru. The other was...
"OHMIGAAWD! RIN!!! IS THAT YOU?!?!?!" I shouted as I ran towards her. She was running towards me.
"It IS you, Kag! Ohmigosh, I missed you so much!" Rin hugged me the moment we reached each other. I hugged her back.
"You don't know how I feel. Man, we haven't seen each other for almost a year! You didn't give me a call at all!" I said in delight. Rin's eyes flashed with happiness.
"I can say the same to you. No calls, letters, emails, no NEWS from my beloved cousin!" Rin shrieked happily.
"And you haven't change at all! Except... Oh gosh, you're taller!" I shouted, noticing how tall Rin had become over the past year. Rin smiled.
"Really? I didn't noticed." She laughed her friendly laugh, "My god, you've grown too." She said. I smiled.
"In what way?"
"In height, maturity, beauty...." Rin said, making me flushed with embarrassment. Rin laughed.
"I'm not kidding." She said.
"Yeah right." I said sarcastically. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" Rin gave me a blank look.
"I actually go to school in the School of Four Souls!!!" Rin shouted. My jaw dropped mentally.
"What?!?!?!" I shouted. "When?"
"Like, already since a month ago?" Rin said. Then she gave me a confused look, "what's wrong with going to the Four Souls?"
"Because that's where I go too!" I nearly shrieked. Rin's confused look changed immediately into a look of surprise.
"WHAT?!?!?!" She shouted. "You... you WHAT?" I was about to repeat what I had just said when a very dignified voice interrupted me.
"Rin, who is she?" I looked up and noticed it was Sesshoumaru speaking. I realized it was the first time I had ever heard his voice. Rin turned around and smiled warmly at Sesshoumaru.
"Oh!" she said cheerfully. "I almost forgot to introduce you. Sessy, this is Kagome. She's my closest cousin. Kagome, this is Sessy." I had to stifle back a laughter. 'Sessy'? Sesshoumaru was called Sessy? You gotta be kidding me! Behind me, Inu Yasha laughed.
"Sessy?" he repeated while laughing. I giggled and glanced at Sesshoumaru. His face was normal, but he was glaring at Inu Yasha. Rin, however, looked confused at Inu Yasha.
"What's so funny?" she asked stupidly. Sesshoumaru cleared his throat.
"Rin, it seemed that my BROTHER found it amusing that you would call me.." he cleared his throat once again, "Sessy." He finished. Rin's eyes widened.
"Your brother? You have a brother?" Sesshoumaru nodded silently. Rin looked at me.
"Kagome, who is he? Is he Sessy's brother?" I nodded.
"Uh huh. He's Inu Yasha, Sesshoumaru's brother. Inu Yasha, this is Rin." I said, introducing both of them to each other. Inu Yasha, finally able to stop his laughter, nodded his head at Rin to show that he had listened to me.
"I don't get it." Rin said suddenly. "What's so funny about me calling Sesshoumaru 'Sessy'?" Inu Yasha had to stifle back another laughter. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
"It's just.... unusual. Anyway, Rin, how do you know Sesshoumaru anyway?"
Rin's smile widened. I happened to notice that Sesshoumaru also smile a little. Wait, Sesshoumaru? Smiled? That's impossible.
"As I told you before, I went to the School of Four Souls, and.. well.. I fell in love with him at first sight." I could feel my jaws dropped to the floor.
"Feh, you're not the only one, you know?" Inu Yasha said sarcastically. Rin smiled and nodded.
"I am quite aware how popular he is." She said while taking a few steps closer towards Sesshoumaru. "And that is why I am so lucky."
"Lucky?" I repeated.
"Yep. Because yesterday, Sessy and I are officially a couple!!!" Rin shouted as she jumped up and down and grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand.
If my jaws were scraping the floor already, my reaction was nothing compared to Inu Yasha's who was already kissing the floor. (A/N NO! He doesn't KISS the floor!!!.. well, literally.)
"Wuh.... Wait girl..." Inu Yasha started. Sesshoumaru growled.
"Her name is Rin, Inu Yasha." He snapped.
"Fine, Rin, whatever," Inu Yasha said quickly. "Could you please.. Repeat that little statement of yours?" Rin smiled innocently and said,
"What? About me and Sessy being a couple?"
"OhhhMmmiiiIGaaaAwWwwd!" Inu Yasha shouted. He then looked at Sesshoumaru straight on the eye. "A human?" Inu Yasha asked. Sesshoumaru's expression changed drastically. He gave Inu Yasha a look that clearly said 'you- better-shut-the-hell-up-or-else-you-won't-live-to-see-another-day.'
Rin, who had clearly missed Inu Yasha's comment, turned to look at me.
"Isn't this cool, Kag? These last few days were the greatest days of my life. Yesterday Sessy asked me to be his girlfriend, and now I realized that my favorite cousin lives and go to school at the same place as I am!!!" Rin said, jumping up and hugging me once again. I laughed.
"So where are you two going?" Rin asked, pointing at Inu Yasha and I.
"Oh, we were planning to go to Starbucks. You want to come?" I asked. Inu Yasha coughed. I ignored him. Rin's eyes widened once again.
"Don't tell me!" Rin shouted. Huh? What?
"What?" I said, voicing my thought. Rin jumped and pointed at the two of us.
"You guys are going out, aren't you?!?!?!" Rin shouted. Sesshoumaru snorted immediately. I could feel the color raising through my face.
"HELL NO!" I shouted. Inu Yasha saying the same thing, only a second earlier than me. Rin smirked together with Sesshoumaru.
"My gosh, this will be so cool. We can go on a double date. Cousin with cousin and sibling with sibling. That would be so cool!" she shouted.
"I AM NOT GOING OUT WITH HER!!!" Inu Yasha shouted.
"Why brother," Sesshoumaru started, "I would say I am very surprised. Someone like you DO have taste after all."
Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed.
"And what do you mean by that?"
"I meant exactly what I said."
"If you think I'm going out with HER, then you're WRONG!" Inu Yasha shouted.
"What he said." I said simply. I could tell easily that both Rin and Sesshoumaru were not buying our words, even though it was the truth!
"Fine, whatever." Rin said. "You're still like the Kagome a year ago. Shy as ever. Oh well, is the invitation to go to Starbucks together still open or what?"
"Sure, let's go." I said as I began to walk, following Inu Yasha. Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw Sesshoumaru's arms encircled Rin and pulled her towards him. No kidding! They were serious when they said they were a couple already!
Just when we had started to walk, somebody called my name once again. Definitely NOT a good sign. I turned around and saw (guess who?) Sango and Miroku walking towards us, hand attached with the other.
Sango and Miroku's eyes widened when they saw Sesshoumaru together with us, along with a girl they, of course, didn't know.
"Hey Kag." Sango said, still eyeing Sesshoumaru and Rin. And then, being the straightforward girl that she was, Sango asked,
"Kagome, who's she?" I sighed.
"Hey Sango. Hey Miroku. This is Rin, my cousin. She happened to be at the same school as us, only it seemed that I didn't notice it. And it just so happen that we bumped into each other today."
"And what's with the... uhm..." Sango said, eyeing Sesshoumaru.
"And she also happened to be Sesshoumaru's girlfriend." I added quickly. Sango and Miroku's reaction were almost exactly the same as mine. Rin smiled.
"Hey, I'm Rin." She said as she reached out her hand. Sango, who had already gotten over her shock (that was quick!!!), smiled warmly at her and shook her hand.
"Sango." Then she turned around and pointed at Miroku, who was waving at Rin.
"And this is Miroku."
"Her boyfriend." Miroku added. Rin smiled.
"I see." She said and laughed.
"So where were you going?" Miroku asked Inu Yasha.
"Grabbing Starbucks." He said simply. Then Miroku smirked and whispered something to Inu Yasha. Fortunately, I heard what he said, just barely.
"Did you do it?"
I noticed how red Inu Yasha's face turned. He nodded slowly. Miroku smirked.
"She accept it, didn't she?"
"Uh huh."
"See?" Miroku said, and then he noticed I was looking at the two of them and he winked. I couldn't believe it! He was the one who talked Inu Yasha into asking me out for the dance tomorrow? Ohmigosh, Miroku.. I'm beginning to see you from a different light!
"So are we invited to join in the fun or what?" Sango said, as she started to walk towards Starbucks.
"Uh... sure, come along." Inu Yasha said and he walked faster than Sango. I began to walk too.
I noticed then that Sango was laughing. I looked questioningly at her.
"I just noticed. I've heard of double dates before, but has anyone of you heard of a triple date?" she said between laughter.
"Tuh... TRIPLE DATE?!?!?!" Both Inu Yasha and I shouted at the same. "WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!!!"
But all we received was the laughter of Sango, Miroku, and Rin. Sesshoumaru was smirking. Oh well, whatever.
I was then that I noticed that Rin and Sesshoumaru were stuck like glue, but nothing compared to Sango and Miroku. Rin must be going to the dance with Sesshoumaru tomorrow. Sango was definitely going with Miroku. And me? I'm going with Inu Yasha.
Suddenly, I couldn't wait for tomorrow's dance.....

~*~*~*~* Chapter 22 ~ To be your date tomorrow.. *~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~* Inu Yasha ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
I could hardly sleep last night. My mind had rewind every single moment of the short conversation I had with Kagome yesterday night. Yes.. Kagome.. she had always been on my mind. Always. Even at this very moment, I could feel my heart beating wildly the moment I remembered her name. Every bit of her made me grow crazy. I'm not even sure why. Her face, her smile, her hair, her smell, her voice... everything. Everything about her was driving me nuts. How did she do this to me? WHY did she do this to me? I've had dozens of relationships with girls before her, but.. she's different. Something about her made me fly into the skies yet I'm falling into the endless sea at the same time. Everything about her was so beautiful, so nice, so........ comforting. Just like her kiss yesterday. Her kiss....
"Eaaaarth to Inu Yasha!!!" Miroku shouted.
"Huh? What?" I asked stupidly, as I realized how, once again, my thoughts had drifted straight to Kagome. Miroku was giving me an annoyed look.
"You're so out of it today! What's the matter with you?"
"What're you talking about?" I said, defending myself. Okay, sure... I HAD been thinking about her since I had woke up from my 2 hours of sleep. But what could I do? She's always on my mind. It's not as if I WANT her to be there. Besides, I really, really, REALLY wanted to see her. But it's still 7 in the morning, and breakfast starts at 8 something. So I would have to wait for another hour. Damn, I really wanted to see her face, her smile...
"Heeeee~~~looooo?" Miroku shouted, waving his hands straight in front of my eyes. He looked at me. "See? See what I'm talking about? You're not on earth!!! You're on Pluto!!!"
"Feh." I said, looking away from him and started to walk straight to my bed again. Miroku cleared his throat.
"What's the problem, Inu?"
"What do you mean 'what's the problem'? I have no problem!" Miroku chuckled.
"Girls?" I stopped dead on my track, but I still wouldn't look at him. Miroku laughed.
"Bulls eye!" he shouted and grinned. "Let me guess.. were you thinking about Kagome?"
Damn it! How did he know?
"Hell no!" I lied as I tried to stop my face from blushing. I failed miserably, however. Miroku laughed harder as he sat down on his bed.
"Dude! Why don't you just ask her out?" He asked. My jaws dropped mentally.
"Asked her out?!?!?!" I repeated stupidly. "I can't do that!" Miroku smirked.
"Good, you finally agreed that you WERE thinking about Kagome." I slapped myself mentally. "Hey, hey, it's normal. Kagome's a nice girl, not to mention gorgeous too..." I gave Miroku a dangerous look, which he ignored completely, instead he continued with his sentence. "And, she's perfect for you."
"You think so?" I asked him, a little too desperate than I wanted it to sound. But instead of giving me a silly grin, Miroku nodded his head.
"Sure. You two matched together. I'm sure if you asked her out, she'll say yes immediately. So what's the problem? Weren't you the one who told me that 'you're not scared to ask any girl in this whole planet'? Weren't you the one laughing your eyes out when I was having troubles asking Sango out? Weren't you the one who was always saying it's such an easy thing to ask a girl to be your girlfriend when you're 99.99% sure of what the answer will be? Weren't you the one..."
"Okay, fine! I get the picture already!" Miroku smirked, making me feel really stupid. Okay, so what if I DID say that to him when he was going to confess to Sango? Kagome's a more complicated girl. She's not as easily read as Sango....
"So what are you going to do?" Miroku asked. I scowled at him.
"What do YOU think I should do? You told me to ask her out. So you think I'll just go to her and say 'hey, Kagome, you wanna go out with me tonight?'" I said sarcastically.
"That might work..." Miroku said, "even though it sure as hell is an ugly way to approach a girl."
"Feh. So how am I suppose to ask her out?"
"Do you want to do it or not? That's the question you need to ask yourself before even THINKING about how you should do it."
"Hey, dimwit. If I'm already asking you about it, that means I WANT to ask her out, okay?" I said without really thinking what I was saying. When I realized what I had said, I could feel my ears burning. Miroku smirked. Damn, I hated it when he smirked. It made him seemed to be more smarter than me, which was not true.
"How about the dance tomorrow?"
"What about it?" I asked, even though the lightbulb in my head were starting to light.
"Du~uh. Ask her to be your dance-partner for tomorrow's dance!" Miroku said matter-of-factly. "I already asked Sango, and she accepted." He added, smiling to himself.
"That's because she's your girlfriend, pervert." I said. However, my mind was already off to Pluto again.
That might just work! If I ask her out for the dance, it wouldn't seemed to be so.. so... so obvious. And if... IF she accepted, then I get a chance to dance with her! It will be an awesome night! But.. what if she rejected me?
My heart suddenly twisted painfully as the thought of 'rejection' entered my mind. Miroku must have noticed the sudden change of expression on my face, coz he asked,
"What's the matter, Inu?"
"Wh... what if she rejected my offer?" I looked at Miroku out of the corners of my eyes. Miroku laughed.
"This is why I like the Halloween Festival so much.." He said between his laughs.
"He~llo? You're switching the subject heeere!"
"Ask her out today!" Miroku said, a little bit too exciting for his own good. "Today is the 'trick-or-treat' day! Ask her out as your 'treat'. That way, if she rejects you, you can say that it was just a way so that you can 'trick' her for the rest of the day! You wouldn't be ashamed, right?!?!?! At least not in front of the whole school.." he added.
~*~*~*~* 2 HOURS LATER *~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~* KAGOME ** POV ** *~*~*~*~
"See you then, Kagome!" Sango shouted. I smiled at her, as she and Miroku walked, hands attached to each other, towards wherever they wanted to put their 'trick-or-treat' day into action. After they disappeared, I glanced beside me. Inu Yasha was there, looking extremely cute (as always). I smiled at him, and suddenly he blushed. Huh? Did he just blushed?
Thinking that he must have had too much breakfast that morning, I pushed the thought aside. Instead, I asked him,
"So, should we start to look for a place to sit down or something?" I asked.
"What about the benches in the garden?" He said. I nodded and walked towards the exit of the building. When I reached outside, the chilly wind of October invited me. That reminded me of something..
"Inu Yasha?" I said. He immediately turned his head so he was looking at me.. and I couldn't resist looking at his beautiful eyes.
"Uh..." I said, forcing my eyes to look away and grabbed my backpack. I unzipped it and carefully took out Inu Yasha's sweater he had lent me yesterday night.
"Thanks." I said as I gave it to the guy beside me. Inu Yasha reluctantly took it from me, and I couldn't help but notice that his hand was touching mine. (A/N Okay, both of them are hopeless romantics.. bear with me! ^_^)
So both of us finally found a free bench and sat down. I realized that it was the same bench we had spent our conversation last night. I smiled secretly. It was a great thing that today was Saturday, because then we didn't have to spend 'trick-or-treat' day on classes.
"Why don't you go first?" Inu Yasha said beside me. That was when it occurred to me, I really didn't have anything to ask Inu Yasha for trick-or- treat.
"Well?" Inu Yasha asked impatiently. Suddenly, I smirked as an evil thought came across my mind.
"Okay, so for my treat, you'll have to buy me dinner for exactly 2 weeks. Every single day." I added. Inu Yasha's expression changed drastically.
"What the heck?!" He shouted. I laughed. "No. No way I'm going to buy you dinner for 2 whole weeks! You have your own money, why don't you use it?"
"Hey... so what if I have my own money? This is what trick-or-treat is for, right?" I smiled evilly.
"Feh. No." Inu Yasha stated without hesitation.
"Okay then. But I would like to remind you that the tricks I've already prepared for this day are quite scary." And I laughed evilly.
"Fine, I'll treat you dinner... but only for a week, okay?" Inu Yasha said grumpily. I laughed mentally. The truth was, I didn't even had a single trick prepared!!! Oh thank goodness for my acting talent!
"No, two weeks." I stated.
"Sheesh. You wanna gain weight or something?" Inu Yasha said sarcastically. I could feel my face turned red with both anger and embarrassment.
"What do you know about my weight? And if you ever mention anything like that again, I'll make it 3 weeks."
"WHAT?!?!?!" Inu Yasha shouted. I smiled evilly. "You... you..." he said, speechless.
"I'm what? Evil?" I teased, and then laughed.
"One week, okay?" Inu Yasha pleaded.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Cummon! I don't have that much money on my wallet at the moment!"
"Get it from the bank. I'll even drive you there if you want to."
"Hey, wench! One week is already good enough!" Inu Yasha finally shouted once again, standing up. I rubbed my temple slowly, trying to control my patience.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! AND WHEN I SAY SOMETHING I WILL NEVER TAKE IT BACK!!!!" I shouted, causing some nearby birds to fly away for dear life. Inu Yasha sighed.
"Fine, whatever." He said, falling back to his seat without so much as an ounce of energy.
"Two weeks then?" I asked with a smile.
"Two weeks it is." Inu Yasha said, without any emotion.
"What's the matter with you?" I asked, finding it strange how someone could get so energized one moment and so empty within a second.
"Nothing..."
What? He couldn't have been angry with me just because I asked him to pay my dinner for two weeks right? Right?
"Uuummm... Inu Yasha?"
"Hmmmm?" Inu Yasha asked without even looking at me. I pointed my finger to each other and stared hard at the ground.
"You're not... angry, are you?" I asked. I could feel Inu Yasha's eyes staring at me. Silence passed both of us.. until,
"No! What makes you say that?!?!?" Inu Yasha asked.
"It's just that.. You're quiet suddenly."
"Oh..." Inu Yasha stared at the ground. He fidgeted with his hands. I couldn't help it, my curiosity was killing me. I leaned closer to him, hoping that he would spill whatever was on his mind at the moment.
Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw that Inu Yasha was blushing. Oookay, now I'm REALLY interested. What was he thinking?
"Inu Yasha?" I asked. He then sighed deeply before he turned around and looked at me straight in the eye. He looked dead serious.
"Kagome?" He asked.
"What?"
"Are you... um.. by any chance.. going to the dance tomorrow?"
"Duh.. dance?" I repeated, shocked to know that the dance was the one that had been bothering Inu Yasha.
"Uhm... yeah. The dance tomorrow.. you know, use a costume and dance with a partner?"
"I KNOW what the dance tomorrow is about." I said, "I was just surprised you want to talk about it. You really don't seem to be the I'm-going-to- the-dance-and-I-really-care-about-it person, you know what I'm talking about?"
"N.. NO! You got the wrong idea! I don't really care about the dance.. it's just that... uhm...." Inu Yasha trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging half way.
"Yeah? What?"
"So... uh.. I was wondering...." He paused again. This was really getting on my nerves.
"What is it? This is so unlike you to be hesitant!"
Inu Yasha then shifted his gaze to the ground and whispered something I couldn't hear.
"What? What did you say?" I asked. Inu Yasha's face turned red as he took a deep breath and said something I could barely hear. And what I heard was,
"Doyouwanttogotothedancewithme?"
"Excuse me?!?!?!" I asked, not really catching what he had just said. Inu Yasha took a really deep breath before he slowly opened his mouth and said,
"Do you want to go to the dance with me?" he asked.
Immediately, I could feel my face turning red and my jaw dropping a few inches. What? Did I just heard what I thought I heard? Did... did Inu Yasha just asked me to go to the dance with HIM? He asked ME?
Inu Yasha's reaction was quick.
"O.. Of course. I mean, if you don't want to go out with me, I understand. I was just wondering if you want to, you know, go with someone you know and... Well.." before Inu Yasha could finish his explanation however, I interrupted him.
"E.. Excuse me, but did you just asked ME to be your date for tomorrow?"
Inu Yasha nodded, his face so red I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. His eyes were so serious, even though they also showed great fear. This meant one thing, he was not lying.
"Oh my..." I whispered to myself. Inu Yasha's words were ringing non-stop on my mind. 'Do you want to go to the dance with me?' He said that. Inu Yasha said that!!!
I noticed that he was looking at me, expecting my answer. But all I managed to say was, once again,
"Oh my........"
I suddenly stood up from the bench and took a deep breath, Inu Yasha's words still ringing on my ears.
"Well..." I said slowly, "Kouga-kun DID asked me to go and be his partner for tomorrow's dance.."
"THAT WOLF?" Inu Yasha shouted before he could stop himself.
"Uh huh, and Hojou-kun too. But I didn't give any of them a strait answer yet. And, of course, I would prefer you over both of them. So I guess... I'll just call them to reject their offer."
"Wuh.. Wait.." Inu Yasha interrupted. I turned to look at him, suddenly feeling very happy.
"Duh... Does that mean that you WANT to be my partner for tomorrow?" Inu Yasha asked, his voice a little shaky. I'm feeling quite shaky myself! I mean, who would ever believe that Inu Yasha would ask me to be his date tomorrow? 'Do you want to go to the dance with me?' those were the best words I had ever heard for weeks!
"I'd love to." I said, trying to control my smile, which I failed miserably. Inu Yasha immediately smiled, the most gorgeous smile I had ever seen. I suddenly felt as if I was floating. I sat back down again, beside him. I could feel him moving closer towards me. I smiled secretly as I scooted closer to him too. We didn't stop until we were finally touching each other, but he didn't move, and neither do I.
Both of us sat silently, enjoying the wind blowing our way and ruffling my raven hair. I imagined what tomorrow night would be like. I would be spending the whole evening accompanying Sango to the salons to do her hair and then take her to get her nails done. Then, it'll be the dance. I'd get to wear my angel costume, and dance with Inu Yasha!!! How good could things get?
"Kagome?" I heard Inu Yasha called me. I looked up, the smile still plastered on my face. I quickly noticed that Inu Yasha was smiling too.
"Since I believe we're done with the trick-or-treat, what do you say about going to the mall?"
I smirked. I couldn't helped it, but I keep on having the feeling that Inu Yasha was taking me out on an official date. Okay, maybe not OFFICIAL, but almost!
Beside me, I noticed that Inu Yasha had stand up. I stand up too, and began to walk towards the exit, feeling so happy I swore I could have exploded out of happiness.
~*~*~*~* 20 MINUTES LATER *~*~*~*~
I practically skipped the moment we entered the mall. It wasn't really crowded, which I was really glad for. Then I turned around and looked at Inu Yasha. My eyes locked with his and I was lost once again at the beautiful color of his pupil. I forced myself to look away from him and asked,
"Where do you want to go now?"
"Uhm, up to you."
"Starbucks?"
"Sure."
"Okay." Then I started to walk awkwardly towards Starbucks. I was still trying to figure out why Inu Yasha had this effect on me. It doesn't made any sense. I had never had the same feeling to anyone else before. Not even my ex-boyfriend. Okay, so maybe Inu Yasha was different, but how? How was he different? What made him so special for me?
My thoughts were cut immediately the moment I felt something tangled up my hands. I glanced down and noticed that Inu Yasha's hand was holding mine. I couldn't help but to smile and a sudden feeling of happiness swept over me. In return, I tightened the grip.
"Inu Yasha..." I said.
"Yeah?" he replied.
"What are you going to dress up as tomorrow?"
"I got a few ideas. But I don't really think about them unless I really have to. But, you know..."
"Uhm?"
"My transformation is tomorrow." Inu Yasha whispered. Then I remembered,
"Oh," I whispered back, "you're going to be in your hanyou form, right?"
"Uh huh. I hope you wouldn't freak." He said. I laughed.
"Nope, I won't. In fact, I can't wait to see you in your hanyou state! Oh my gosh, I truly can't wait for tomorrow. It'll be so cool, and my costume is an ...."
"KAGOME?!?!?!?!" A voice shouted out of nowhere. Huh? What? Did somebody just called my name? I turned around, Inu Yasha did the same. On the back of me, I saw a very familiar face. Wait, make that TWO familiar faces. One of them was none other than Inu Yasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru. The other was...
"OHMIGAAWD! RIN!!! IS THAT YOU?!?!?!" I shouted as I ran towards her. She was running towards me.
"It IS you, Kag! Ohmigosh, I missed you so much!" Rin hugged me the moment we reached each other. I hugged her back.
"You don't know how I feel. Man, we haven't seen each other for almost a year! You didn't give me a call at all!" I said in delight. Rin's eyes flashed with happiness.
"I can say the same to you. No calls, letters, emails, no NEWS from my beloved cousin!" Rin shrieked happily.
"And you haven't change at all! Except... Oh gosh, you're taller!" I shouted, noticing how tall Rin had become over the past year. Rin smiled.
"Really? I didn't noticed." She laughed her friendly laugh, "My god, you've grown too." She said. I smiled.
"In what way?"
"In height, maturity, beauty...." Rin said, making me flushed with embarrassment. Rin laughed.
"I'm not kidding." She said.
"Yeah right." I said sarcastically. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" Rin gave me a blank look.
"I actually go to school in the School of Four Souls!!!" Rin shouted. My jaw dropped mentally.
"What?!?!?!" I shouted. "When?"
"Like, already since a month ago?" Rin said. Then she gave me a confused look, "what's wrong with going to the Four Souls?"
"Because that's where I go too!" I nearly shrieked. Rin's confused look changed immediately into a look of surprise.
"WHAT?!?!?!" She shouted. "You... you WHAT?" I was about to repeat what I had just said when a very dignified voice interrupted me.
"Rin, who is she?" I looked up and noticed it was Sesshoumaru speaking. I realized it was the first time I had ever heard his voice. Rin turned around and smiled warmly at Sesshoumaru.
"Oh!" she said cheerfully. "I almost forgot to introduce you. Sessy, this is Kagome. She's my closest cousin. Kagome, this is Sessy." I had to stifle back a laughter. 'Sessy'? Sesshoumaru was called Sessy? You gotta be kidding me! Behind me, Inu Yasha laughed.
"Sessy?" he repeated while laughing. I giggled and glanced at Sesshoumaru. His face was normal, but he was glaring at Inu Yasha. Rin, however, looked confused at Inu Yasha.
"What's so funny?" she asked stupidly. Sesshoumaru cleared his throat.
"Rin, it seemed that my BROTHER found it amusing that you would call me.." he cleared his throat once again, "Sessy." He finished. Rin's eyes widened.
"Your brother? You have a brother?" Sesshoumaru nodded silently. Rin looked at me.
"Kagome, who is he? Is he Sessy's brother?" I nodded.
"Uh huh. He's Inu Yasha, Sesshoumaru's brother. Inu Yasha, this is Rin." I said, introducing both of them to each other. Inu Yasha, finally able to stop his laughter, nodded his head at Rin to show that he had listened to me.
"I don't get it." Rin said suddenly. "What's so funny about me calling Sesshoumaru 'Sessy'?" Inu Yasha had to stifle back another laughter. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
"It's just.... unusual. Anyway, Rin, how do you know Sesshoumaru anyway?"
Rin's smile widened. I happened to notice that Sesshoumaru also smile a little. Wait, Sesshoumaru? Smiled? That's impossible.
"As I told you before, I went to the School of Four Souls, and.. well.. I fell in love with him at first sight." I could feel my jaws dropped to the floor.
"Feh, you're not the only one, you know?" Inu Yasha said sarcastically. Rin smiled and nodded.
"I am quite aware how popular he is." She said while taking a few steps closer towards Sesshoumaru. "And that is why I am so lucky."
"Lucky?" I repeated.
"Yep. Because yesterday, Sessy and I are officially a couple!!!" Rin shouted as she jumped up and down and grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand.
If my jaws were scraping the floor already, my reaction was nothing compared to Inu Yasha's who was already kissing the floor. (A/N NO! He doesn't KISS the floor!!!.. well, literally.)
"Wuh.... Wait girl..." Inu Yasha started. Sesshoumaru growled.
"Her name is Rin, Inu Yasha." He snapped.
"Fine, Rin, whatever," Inu Yasha said quickly. "Could you please.. Repeat that little statement of yours?" Rin smiled innocently and said,
"What? About me and Sessy being a couple?"
"OhhhMmmiiiIGaaaAwWwwd!" Inu Yasha shouted. He then looked at Sesshoumaru straight on the eye. "A human?" Inu Yasha asked. Sesshoumaru's expression changed drastically. He gave Inu Yasha a look that clearly said 'you- better-shut-the-hell-up-or-else-you-won't-live-to-see-another-day.'
Rin, who had clearly missed Inu Yasha's comment, turned to look at me.
"Isn't this cool, Kag? These last few days were the greatest days of my life. Yesterday Sessy asked me to be his girlfriend, and now I realized that my favorite cousin lives and go to school at the same place as I am!!!" Rin said, jumping up and hugging me once again. I laughed.
"So where are you two going?" Rin asked, pointing at Inu Yasha and I.
"Oh, we were planning to go to Starbucks. You want to come?" I asked. Inu Yasha coughed. I ignored him. Rin's eyes widened once again.
"Don't tell me!" Rin shouted. Huh? What?
"What?" I said, voicing my thought. Rin jumped and pointed at the two of us.
"You guys are going out, aren't you?!?!?!" Rin shouted. Sesshoumaru snorted immediately. I could feel the color raising through my face.
"HELL NO!" I shouted. Inu Yasha saying the same thing, only a second earlier than me. Rin smirked together with Sesshoumaru.
"My gosh, this will be so cool. We can go on a double date. Cousin with cousin and sibling with sibling. That would be so cool!" she shouted.
"I AM NOT GOING OUT WITH HER!!!" Inu Yasha shouted.
"Why brother," Sesshoumaru started, "I would say I am very surprised. Someone like you DO have taste after all."
Inu Yasha's eyes narrowed.
"And what do you mean by that?"
"I meant exactly what I said."
"If you think I'm going out with HER, then you're WRONG!" Inu Yasha shouted.
"What he said." I said simply. I could tell easily that both Rin and Sesshoumaru were not buying our words, even though it was the truth!
"Fine, whatever." Rin said. "You're still like the Kagome a year ago. Shy as ever. Oh well, is the invitation to go to Starbucks together still open or what?"
"Sure, let's go." I said as I began to walk, following Inu Yasha. Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw Sesshoumaru's arms encircled Rin and pulled her towards him. No kidding! They were serious when they said they were a couple already!
Just when we had started to walk, somebody called my name once again. Definitely NOT a good sign. I turned around and saw (guess who?) Sango and Miroku walking towards us, hand attached with the other.
Sango and Miroku's eyes widened when they saw Sesshoumaru together with us, along with a girl they, of course, didn't know.
"Hey Kag." Sango said, still eyeing Sesshoumaru and Rin. And then, being the straightforward girl that she was, Sango asked,
"Kagome, who's she?" I sighed.
"Hey Sango. Hey Miroku. This is Rin, my cousin. She happened to be at the same school as us, only it seemed that I didn't notice it. And it just so happen that we bumped into each other today."
"And what's with the... uhm..." Sango said, eyeing Sesshoumaru.
"And she also happened to be Sesshoumaru's girlfriend." I added quickly. Sango and Miroku's reaction were almost exactly the same as mine. Rin smiled.
"Hey, I'm Rin." She said as she reached out her hand. Sango, who had already gotten over her shock (that was quick!!!), smiled warmly at her and shook her hand.
"Sango." Then she turned around and pointed at Miroku, who was waving at Rin.
"And this is Miroku."
"Her boyfriend." Miroku added. Rin smiled.
"I see." She said and laughed.
"So where were you going?" Miroku asked Inu Yasha.
"Grabbing Starbucks." He said simply. Then Miroku smirked and whispered something to Inu Yasha. Fortunately, I heard what he said, just barely.
"Did you do it?"
I noticed how red Inu Yasha's face turned. He nodded slowly. Miroku smirked.
"She accept it, didn't she?"
"Uh huh."
"See?" Miroku said, and then he noticed I was looking at the two of them and he winked. I couldn't believe it! He was the one who talked Inu Yasha into asking me out for the dance tomorrow? Ohmigosh, Miroku.. I'm beginning to see you from a different light!
"So are we invited to join in the fun or what?" Sango said, as she started to walk towards Starbucks.
"Uh... sure, come along." Inu Yasha said and he walked faster than Sango. I began to walk too.
I noticed then that Sango was laughing. I looked questioningly at her.
"I just noticed. I've heard of double dates before, but has anyone of you heard of a triple date?" she said between laughter.
"Tuh... TRIPLE DATE?!?!?!" Both Inu Yasha and I shouted at the same. "WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!!!"
But all we received was the laughter of Sango, Miroku, and Rin. Sesshoumaru was smirking. Oh well, whatever.
I was then that I noticed that Rin and Sesshoumaru were stuck like glue, but nothing compared to Sango and Miroku. Rin must be going to the dance with Sesshoumaru tomorrow. Sango was definitely going with Miroku. And me? I'm going with Inu Yasha.
Suddenly, I couldn't wait for tomorrow's dance.....
