Waiting For You

Chapter 9

Homecoming

"No...Inuyasha...I don't think we need to talk." Kagome said grabbing her hand away from his rubbing it gently. Though all she thought was that this was what she wanted, she had wanted to talk to Inuyasha and settle everything.

"Come on, wench. Just here me out for once will you?" Inuyasha snapped making sure she had complete eye contact with him.

"Why the fuck should I? You ask me, me! Of all people to go with you to the dance then you say it was a mistake and ask Kikyo, instead?! That's all there is to it!"

"Will you shut up for 2 seconds?!"

"No!"

"Kami, woman! What is your problem, why are you stubborn all of sudden?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe if you would've listened to me then you would know what's wrong!"

"You mean asking you and then asking Kikyo, is that it? Kami, that's a damn stupid ass reason!"

"I could care less about that stuff..."

"Yeah right, then why did you just say..." Inuyasha was cut off as Kagome yelled louder than ever, making any one outside look at the two.

"I lied, ok! Lets just end it there, Inuyasha!"

"Hey Kagome..." Rin asked tapping lightly on her shoulder once again. "Who is this guy you're arguing with? Is it the one you said in your letter that was the low class demon and was also attractive?"

"Uh...n...no...it must be...some one, else I was talking about..." Kagome muttered as her face turned completely red.

"You think I'm attractive, huh?" Inuyasha cracked a smile as Kagome turned away from him not making any more eye contact. She quickly grabbed onto Rin's hand and began walking into the school, leaving the smiling Inuyasha behind.

"So what are you doing here?" Kagome asked as she walked into the gym hardly able to hear anything any more as the music blasted, making people have to scream to actually hear each other. The gym was packed with almost every one in High School, there were different colored streamers and balloons hanging everywhere but people (mostly freshman) began to tear it down and take out pins popping the balloons as well. Also there was a D.J. off in the very corner with hundreds of CD's next to him and a huge TV screen behind him, which showed people in the gym either sitting on the bleachers or dancing every now and then. (This is exactly what Homecoming at my school looked like for the past two years that I went to)

"Well, first a girl named Sango mailed me this form thing that allowed me to come to your school for the dance, and two I just moved to Tokyo a couple days ago, so..."

"You're going to Shikon High?!" Kagome gasped finishing Rin's sentence.

"Yep."

"Yay!!!" Kagome jumped up and down like a little girl as she hugged her best friend. "I'm so happy, I can't believe you're here!"

After a few minutes, the two friends set their purses on the bleachers as they walked out to the middle of the gym as a new song began to play and both began dancing with each other. Kagome and Rin both showed off some impressive dancing moves as a small crowd began to form around them (including Inuyasha and Kikyo in the crowd). None of the two noticed as they kept dancing away the boys getting anxious and the girls a bit jealous, finally a boy with black hair tied up into a high ponytail walked through the crowd tapping Kagome lightly on the shoulder. She stopped abruptly and looked in front of her to see the boy a bit pissed off.

'Kami...will people stop touching me...' Kagome thought as she looked next to her to see a blushing Rin. "Rin, what's the mat...Oh Kami..." Kagome saw everyone look at her and Rin as they clapped and whistled as the sound in the background finally ended, people walking off either dancing or sitting down.

"Hey, I'm Kouga..." The boy said grabbing a hold of Kagome's hand and kissing it lightly (leaving a bit of a grossed out Kagome, remember she doesn't know exactly who he is...) "...you have some nice dance moves, would you like to save a dance for me?"

"Well...I..." Kagome started but in a flash Inuyasha stood in front of her yelling at Kouga.

"No, she doesn't want to dance with you. So fuck off, Kouga!" Inuyasha snarled.

"I'm sure she's able to answer for herself, dog shit!"

"Asshole, didn't you hear, she did say no!"

"What the fuck?! Inuyasha?!" Kagome yelled getting into the fight. "I never answered him and you can't go answering for me! Yes, Kouga, I'll promise to save a dance for you!" Kagome screamed every one looking at her again as she went back to the bleacher's to grab her purse only to find nothing there...

"Where the hell is my, purse?!" Kagome yelled again scrambling through every one's things looking for her purse but came up empty-handed.

"Excuse me..." A young boy (probably a freshman) tapped on Kagome's shoulder making her turn, she store at the boy with a death glare as he just gulped and handed Kagome a small piece of paper and pen with a shaky hand. "...It's...um...for Homecoming...Queen...and King..." The boy stuttered.

"Whatever..." Kagome grabbed the paper and read the names quickly but all the color quickly drained from her face.

(Here's the list of whom you can vote for...)

Homecoming King

Sesshomaru Saigoku

Miroku Houshi

Inuyasha Saigoku

Kouga Wolfe

Homecoming Queen

Kikyo Dokkaso

Koharu Mizuno

Sango Hiraikotsu

Kagome Higarashi

"Wh...What is my name doing on here0?!" Kagome yelled.

"I nominated you." Sango said popping up in front of her. (Don't ask me how she popped up all of a sudden...cause I don't know...)

"You what?!" Kagome yelled trying to stay as calm as possible but it really wasn't working. Sango just smiled as she grabbed the paper from her hand taking out a pen of her own and voting for Kagome for Queen handing the ballot to the young kid as he giggled a bit looking at both votes running away before a 'certain girl' would stop him.

"Sango, who did you vote for..." Kagome stuttered as she forced a terrifying smile.

"You and..."

"And, who? Who did you vote for King?"

"Oh...look at the time..." Sango said looking at her wrist (which had no watch on it) as she began walking away. "...don't worry, Kagome. You'll probably find out who it is..."

"What is that supposed to mean?!" Kagome said running after Sango but as soon as Sango left in the crowd she was out of site.

After about a half an hour, Kagome stayed in one place on the bleachers. She had lost Sango in the crowd a little while ago and had no idea where Rin was since they finished dancing together and that 'Kouga' guy showed up. Kagome had also lost her purse and had given up looking for it; nothing important was in their just money, her license, the only picture of her dad...(yeah there was important stuff in there) but she forgot about it, for now.

'Can tonight get any worse for me?' Kagome thought as everything went silent for a second a mike was being tested as a teacher walked up and began to announce something.

"Ok, every one the moment you've been waiting for! Time to find out who the 2003 Homecoming King and Queen are!" The teacher announced as every one cheered wildly. Kagome could care less as she began to fall asleep...

"For Homecoming King..." The person pulled up an envelope taking out a small card with a guy's name on it. "It's Inuyasha Saigoku! Congratulations!" Every one cheered as Inuyasha strolled onto the small stage the teacher was on as he put a crown on his head. Inuyasha turned towards the crowd and gave a smile as he lifted his hands, every one cheering louder.

"Ok, calm down boy...Now for Homecoming Queen!" The teacher took out another envelope as well taking out a card from inside. "I can't believe this! It's wonderful! The winner by two votes is Kagome Higarashi!" Every one gasped as they looked at the now standing girl by the bleacher's her mouth hanging open, Inuyasha couldn't even speak as he saw Kagome just standing there, not able to move.

'Tonight just got worse...' Kagome thought shaking her head a couple times looking at all the shocked faces around her becoming a bit nervous and uncomfortable, was any one going to say or even do anything. Sango smiled as she walked in front of the crowd beginning to clap as every one began joining in one by one soon every one cheered and whistled at a blushing Kagome as she made her way towards the stage. As soon as she got up to the teacher he put a beautiful type crown on her head giving her forehead a small kiss as he went back to the mike.

"Congratulations to Kagome Higarashi!" Every one cheered louder as they looked at the two shocked faces now on the stage. "Now will the King and Queen share a dance?" The teacher said as every one quieted down Inuyasha taking out his hand and bringing it in front of Kagome.

"May I have this dance?" Inuyasha asked giving a small bow. Kagome just nodded slightly as she put her hand on his and walked to the middle of the gym not taking her eyes away from his, and him doing the same. They soon stopped as he shakily put his hands on her waist as she shakily wrapped her hands behind his neck beginning to move to the slow song that just began to play. After a couple minutes of the song past, Inuyasha finally began to talk.

"Kagome..."

"Hm?"

"I was wondering...well...if you would...you know..." Inuyasha stopped abruptly as Kagome saw him pulled backwards a bit.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked still looking as he was still pulled away from her.

Inuyasha ignored the question as he turned around to see Kouga pulling Inuyasha away from Kagome and letting a fist hit Inuyasha square in the face.

"Kagome is mine, you bastard!"

"What the hell?! We'll see about that!" Inuyasha yelled as he stood back up from Kouga's punch and charged towards him as the fists began to fly back and forth.

A/N: a little bit of a longer chapter, I think, and a cliffhanger. But I had so many ideas, and I think I know exactly of what's in the next chapter. So what do you think? Inuyasha's Homecoming King and Kagome Homecoming Queen, so cute!! I love this chapter, a lot, hope you guys like it as well! And finally please review!

Oh Kikyo's last name Dokkaso, its an attack in Inuyasha meaning poison flower claws (good for her in this story, no?) It is Sesshomaru's basic attack in the series though...but I don't mind...

THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE WAS FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO, NOT CURRENT SO DON'T GO BY WHAT IT SAY'S...I'M UP TO CHAPTER 27 I'LL SEE IF I CAN POST ALL OF THEM HERE ON
