Waiting For You

Chapter 8

Dressing Up And Old Friends

Kagome sat in a chair in her room as her mother stood behind her putting her hair up into a high bun, letting some hair fall loose over her face. It was a cool Saturday in October; the day of Homecoming finally arrived.

'I have to go now...' Kagome sighed as she looked up at the ceiling.

Flashback, (a few weeks ago...)

"Will you go to Homecoming with me, Kagome?" Inuyasha said calmly startling every one.

"Wh...What?" Kagome began. "What did you just say?"

"Inuyasha?!" Kikyo yelled grabbing Inuyasha by his ear and dragging him away. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Huh?" Inuyasha said his voice full of confusion as he shook his head a couple times. "So will you go to the dance with me or not, Kikyo?"

"What the..." Both Kagome and Kikyo said together.

"You just asked that bitch out, you fucking moron!" Kikyo yelled pointing over to a very confused Kagome her mouth hanging open a bit.

"Feh...like I'd ask that wench out..."

"Well believe it or not you did! I have the whole entire cafeteria as witnesses, Inuyasha!"

"I couldn't have..." Inuyasha whispered as he looked over to Kagome's stunned face, waiting then for any one just any one to say something to him so some one would break the silence that filled the room.

"We need to talk..." Kikyo pulled Inuyasha away and that was the end of that.

Ever since that day, Inuyasha and Kagome never looked each other in the eye let alone even talk to each other. Every one had gotten over the shook since that day, except for those two...Kagome always questioned herself of why he of all people would ask her out.

'I need to find out why he said that...' Kagome thought as her mom finished putting her hair up, she took out a small can of hairspray and sprayed her hair a bit so it would stay in place.

"There we go. So what do you think?" Kagome's mom asked as she handed her daughter a simple hand mirror.

"Its nice, thanks mom. You're the best." Kagome answered not once looking up.

"Kagome? Are you ok? You've seemed to be in some sort of trance for the past couple of weeks...has anything happened?"

"No...nothing..." Kagome answered simply in a whisper as she stood up and picked up the dress lying on her bed. She held it against her body as she walked up to the mirror seeing a side glimpse of her mother; a worried expression filled her face.

"Well this dance of yours is in an hour...you better get ready..." Kagome's mom said as she left the room quickly going to check on Souta.

'Why am I so worried about this...guy...?' Kagome glanced one more time at the dress she held before she began to finish getting ready.

After about almost an hour Kagome stood in front of her mirror now wearing the black dress she picked up as well as wearing some light make-up. The dress was a plain black color that just covered her knees, it had straps that crossed in front of her neck and went to the back of her neck that held the dress up, there wasn't really a back of the dress it came down all the way to Kagome's lower back. Finally she wore black high-heel shoes that strapped around her ankles, Kagome also wore some make-up just a light pink lipstick, silver color eye shadow, and mascara.

Kagome ran her hands over the dress a couple times, getting out any wrinkles that she would see here and there. 'Stop being nervous, Kagome...' Kagome thought to herself as she heard a car horn from outside. She grabbed a small silver purse as she ran (in high-heels) downstairs and towards the door.

"Bye, mom! That's my ride!" Kagome yelled as she slammed the door shut still running as she ran down the shrine's steps.

"Kagome!" Sango called. "Don't run so fast or you'll fall!" Kagome reached the last four steps as the heel on her shoe twisted and she fell straight on her butt the rest of the way down.

"Now that's funny, you did fall..." Sango said walking out of her car (Miroku's in the driver's seat, by the way) and offering her hand to help up the girl. Sango wore her hair much like Kagome's but wore a completely different dress (of course). It was a light pink color strapless dress and the dress came up to right below mid thigh, a slit was on the side that only went up about 4 inches. Silver sparkles were covering over the top to the middle of the dress almost in a shape of a diamond; she wore make-up as well it was pink lipstick (how original), pink eye shadow and again mascara. Finally she wore silver high heel shoes much like Kagome's that strapped around her ankles.

"You know I meant to fall, didn't you?" Kagome said as she stood up with the help of Sango beginning to rub her butt a bit as she opened up the door in the car as she slid in.

"You look wonderful, Kagome." Miroku said as he began to drive in the direction of Shikon High School. Kagome just blushed a bit as she looked out the window and gave a small thanks.

"I'm sure Miroku is happy...he gets two dates..."

"...for the price of one..." Miroku finished for Sango a huge grin on his face. Sango just gave him a glare as she turned in her seat looking at Kagome.

"That's ok guys...I'm just going in by myself, I think its better if I do..." Kagome said quietly as they reached the High School parking lot, it was packed!

"What do you mean, Kagome? Of course you can come with us what's wron..."

"Move out of the way you jackass!" Miroku yelled cutting off Sango, as he beeped the horn a couple of times.

"Miroku!"

"Oh sorry, Sango dear...but this stupid ass he's such a..."

"It's a she..." Kagome pointed out.

"Huh?"

"It's a she, and it looks like, um...Kikyo? And what the hell is she wearing, I can already tell from back here that its really sluty..."

Sango couldn't help but laugh, and Miroku gave another smile as he finally found a spot and quickly parked the car stepping out quickly and opening up the passenger's side for Sango as well as Kagome.

"Ladies, first..." Miroku bowed lightly as the girls walked in front of him their backs turned. Big mistake...

"You pervert!!" Sango and Kagome yelled slapping Miroku hard across his face as he brought his hands back from 'touching' them.

"Boy is it worth it..." Miroku smiled widely as he touched both his cheeks. "So you ready, ladies?"

"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up..." Kagome said.

"You sure? Miroku and I don't mind going together."

"Yeah, I'm fine...I need just a bit of fresh air..."

"Ok...well we'll see you inside, come on Miroku." Sango said as she walked towards the entrance of the school beginning to walk inside the gym.

Kagome sighed as she walked around for a few minutes in front of the school thinking of what to say. 'Ok, I got it...just go up and say "Inuyasha we need to talk." As simple as that...I hope...' Kagome became encouraged as she began walking inside when some one tapped on her shoulder very lightly making her jump and turn around ready to smack the person when...

"Rin?!"

"Hey, Kagome. So this is your new school, huh?"

"Wh...What are you doing here, aren't you suppos..." Kagome jumped back again as she felt another person tap on her shoulder. "Will people fucking stop touching me!"

"Kagome, we need to talk." Inuyasha said as he grabbed onto her hand.

'Tonight is going to be a long night...' Kagome thought as she looked down at the clawed hand around hers.
