Chapter Three: Perfect
Disclaimer: My birthday was a month ago…I thought the copy rights would have come in by now…but alas, they have not…eleven more months until next birthday I guess…
The world warped around them. It seemed as if they were being pulled into another alternate universe. Maybe they were. Though where were they being taken this time?
All four of them blacked out for a few seconds it seemed.
Soon, music filled their ears and chatter rang out. They opened their eyes to see the school gym in dimmed lights and multiple Christmas decorations. Girls were in gowns of white, blues, and black while guys were dressed down in white tux-styled suits.
"We-we're at the dance," Kagome stated, she stared down to see herself in an ice green spaghetti strap evening gown.
Sango was in an ice pink strapless gown. She perfectly coordinated with Kagome with identical ice chandelier earrings and necklaces.
The guys were in black shelled suits with white shirts underneath.
"Okay, we're either in another alternate universe or a day into the future,"
"My vote's on a day,"
"As is mine,"
"Me too,"
"May as well make the most of it. Sango, as my date would you grace me with a dance?"
"Of course,"
Kagome looked on at her best friend with happiness, and a certain longing. As long as Miroku didn't pull one of his famous 'charms' she had a good feeling about tonight. At least her friends were having a good Christmas season thus far. If only she could have one…
"I know we swore that we weren't going to go to the dance together but…may I have this dance?"
Kagome turned to Inuyasha with a smile, "Certainly,"
They walked hand-in-hand to the dance floor near Sango and Miroku who were already enjoying a slow dance. They held one another close and stared longingly into each other's eyes.
"So about that dream,"
"Yes, I'm listening,"
"I was wondering if you'd want to start of from where we left off in the past, or whatever you want to refer to it as,"
"Inuyasha, of course, I'd like that,"
"So even if we don't get out of this alternate universe, we'll still be together, I guess."
"I…guess I'd enjoy that,"
The song seemed to be un-ending, but neither couple minded. They could stay in the arms of their partner forever, for all they cared.
"Sango"
"Yes, Miroku?"
"In that dream"
"What about it?"
"It didn't seem that we were too close…so I was wondering,"
"Yes, Miroku,"
"You haven't heard what I was going to ask,"
"No, but it's written all over your face,"
Time was lagging and romance filled the air around the friends. None of them had been so happy in their lives. This alternate universe seemed to be doing well for them, though they each had a nagging part that wished to return to their pasts. No matter how well this life was going, it just didn't seem right.
Tonight was already past the second sunset…they only had tomorrow to fulfill the wishes…Though for now they were only worried about making the night worthwhile.
Another slow song came on and the friends willingly obliged to another dance. Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him although it seemed impossible. She smiled up at him before resting her head on his chest. She heard and felt his steady heartbeat and it was in sync with her own. Could this be the best night of her life? No. This wasn't even her life; it was fake…nothing more than an image…the best night of her life was the one that had taken place in Sengoku Jidai. That was where she and Inuyasha had actually gotten together…where all their memories lay, where everything was the way it should be…
The song ended, seemingly too soon for the couples. None had realized it, but the spotlight had moved onto them during the last dance.
"Well ladies and gentlemen," Came the Deejay's voice, "That's a sight we never thought we'd see! We knew it was coming but who knew it was going to be this soon. Inuyasha and Kagome, Miroku and Sango? Wow, they finally got together!"
Everyone in the gym cheered and clapped as the couples blushed and shied away.
"Well, I heard Kagome has a special surprise. Come on up here, and grab the mike!"
Kagome blushed a bit darker and walked over to the platform on which the deejay stood. He gave her the microphone and cued the music.
The introduction began and Kagome closed her eyes, quickly re-running the lyrics through her head.
The deejay motioned for Sango and she came up, grabbed another mike and joined her best friend.
Everyone applauded as the two girls stepped off the stage platform after returning the mikes to the deejay.
"Good job," the guys praised as an upbeat song began to play.
They began leaving the gym, for some reason they all had an impulse to do so. In no time they arrived at the park. The light of the full moon brightly illuminated their path even through the trees. It still hadn't snowed so the girls weren't feigned in their gowns.
Their moonlit stroll deemed the perfect way to end the evening. Soon they came across the riverbank and decided to sit and relax. Sango and Miroku sat a fair distance away from Inuyasha and Kagome.
No words were spoken and Inuyasha and Kagome cuddled up and looked up at the starry sky. As her neck soon became stiff from the somewhat awkward position, Kagome rested her head on Inuyasha's shoulder. Her eyes shut slowly as she enjoyed the 'one-on-one' time with Inuyasha.
Moments seemed like peaceful eternities when Kagome felt a cold sensation on the tip of her nose. Her eyes fluttered open to see snowflakes slowly dance to the ground. She lifted her head to take in Mother Nature's beautiful winter phenomenon.
"It's getting chilly," She heard Inuyasha state as a warm garment engulfed her. She shifted to see that Inuyasha had draped his suit jacket over her shoulders, so she smiled in thanks.
They sat through another silence until Sango's voice punctured the serenity. They got up and returned to the school parking lot. Apparently Inuyasha had driven the group to the dance.
Sango and Miroku slid into the back seat of his Acura RSX and Kagome into the passengers' seat. Before Inuyasha had even pulled out of the parking lot, he noticed his friends were asleep. Not knowing anything else to do, he pulled out his cell phone.
He was aware of what was to come…
