Chapter 4
~Homecoming Disaster~
It would be untrue to say that the next two weeks were boring, tedious, uneventful, or etc. In fact it was anything but that.
I received gifts and compliments from Kouga. He understood that I didn't I like him, (finally), but he still had the strangest idea that I belonged to him. I guess ya win some and ya lose some.
Inuyasha was a different story though. Anger would bubble up every time Kouga drew near us. I was lucky to still have my best friend. He has some great fighting skills if needed, but to handle the entire football team, basketball, and track team, not to mention angry Xena warrior cheerleaders. That's just a little unfair in numbers.
That's why it has finally come down to this. This is what will decide the fate of senior year. The date of October 9th, draws closer and closer.....
Were going to prank homecoming tonight!!!!!!!!!! ^_________^
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ready?"
"Ready."
"Roger that."
"Aye Aye captain!"
"Understood."
Inuyasha and I entered the dance followed by Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. We coordinated so that each person walked in 3 minutes after the others.
Inuyasha headed for the dance, as I searched for the Math Quiz Bowl genius and all around Mr. Naïve, Houjo.
Target spotted by the punch bowl.
"Hey Houjo."
"Good evening Higurashi-san."
"Kouga asked me to give this to you for the DJ. He said it was from Ayame, from Sakura, from Kanna, from...."
"I understand Higurashi, I'll give it to Hiten to give to the DJ."
"Thanks!" I said and walked off towards Inuyasha.
"How's it coming Yash?"
"Good, just waiting for our winners to step up to the booth..."
I looked towards the picture booths set up by the basketball hoops. Our school is so cheap to have homecoming in the gym... :P
I had to wonder what Miroku and Sango were up to. They seemed excited for their prank and so did Shippo...Only time will tell at this rate.
Yes! Naraku and Kikyo headed for the photographer. They're under the hoop....
"Now say cheese kids!"
"1-"
Push the button!
"2-"
Bombs away!
**splash**
**CLICK**
School colors really do suit Naraku and Kikyo. Especially in paint!
Naraku with Orange, and Kikyo soaked in Red. That'll leave a stain on a tux!
Orange and Red, our school is named, "Home of the Flaming Monkeys" from our mascot. How much cornier can it get?
"I believe that was victorious." Said Inuyasha.
"Of course. Now just wait for the right music." ^______^
There goes Hiten for the kill!
"OK ladies and gents! We got some funked up music to play for you! Some good stuff to get your groove on! Get to it!" yelled the DJ.
Oh this was so much fun!
'You put your right foot in, and ya pull your right foot out! You do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself about, that's what it's al-'
The music was stopped very quickly once they got over the initial shock.
"Sorry about that peoples! Here is some good stuffs then!"
'I don't want to be a chicken, I don't want to be a duck, I just-'
"Sorry, wrong disk! Try this on for size now!"
'I love you, you love me, were all one big-'
"BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
"What is this jit!?" yelled the DJ.
"Very nice work Kagome."
"Thank you Yash."
"Hey guys." Said Miroku walking over next to us.
"Where's your prank Miroku? Or Sango?"
"I'm here, and here comes the prank." Said Sango. I looked to the doors, and stared. There were two clowns and a large barney character. This was too good to be true.
"Hello boys and girls!" yelled out Barney. Apparently I wasn't the only one with a staring problem.
The clowns started riding around on unicycles while juggling eggs that every once in a while would smash onto someone's head.
"Miroku, is that your cousin Rebus?" asked Inuyasha.
"Actually his name's Remus, but yeah."
"The clown or Barney?" I asked.
"The Purple dinosaur is family."
"This was Shippo's idea?"
"No kag. Houjo came up with it." Said Sango.
"Shut up."
"Where is Shippo anyway?" asked Sango.
"Probably doing finishing touches to everything. We should go soon." Replied Inuyasha.
"Right after we watch this...."
"Why Miroku?
"Just trust us." Said Sango.
I looked back to Barney, or Remus if you will. This was the highlight of my week, no month- heck maybe the year! I ALMOST pitied Kouga.
"Dance along with me!"
"Let me go you big piece of-" yelled Kouga.
"Naughty, naughty! We need proper language for all the other kiddies!"
"Kiddies my-"
"Tut tut! We'll have to give you a timeout!"
"Miroku, remind me to seriously thank your cousin."
"Will do Kag, will do."
"LET GO ALREADY!"
I had a feeling Kouga was getting upset.
"I'm going to kill you, you idiotic bird!"
Since when was barney a bird?
Ouch. That hit had to hurt. Remus would be out for a while. Time to run.....
"Kagome!?" shouted Kouga.
We were spotted.....
Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
"What are you doing here?"
Gotta think of a lie, and quick!
"I-"
"She came with me." Said Inuyasha putting his hand around my waist. Saved by the best friend.
"She what!?"
"You heard me."
"Listen up dog-boy. Kagome's mine, so I strongly suggest you keep away from her."
"You don't have a say in it." Said Miroku.
"I do, but you don't punk."
"Shut it Kouga." Said Sango.
"Kouga, just leave me alone! I don't belong to you!" I was getting so sick of him that it was nauseating to think about.
"Actually Kag, you do. So get used to it."
"CONGA!"
A long conga line of teachers and chaperones came by separating us from Kouga for a getaway. If you ask me they looked really, really drunk.
This year really just is getting weirder.
We raced to the parking lot to see Shippo grinning as he leaned back against my car.
"I have to say it was a brilliant evening." He said polishing his fingers against his shirt. "And it's not even over yet."
"What do you mean it's not over?" asked Sango.
BOOM
"Now it's over." He said and dived into the car, closely followed by us.
People came rushing out of the gym to the parking lot, while green gas floated out after them.
"Stink bombs?" asked Inuyasha.
"Original I know, but I thought, why not? 12-15 bombs from the ceiling wont kill anyone right?"
"It'll kill me if the smells still there when we get back to class. My nose is half dead now."
"Don't worry Inuyasha, you should be fine, and they'll probably get the smell out soon anyway."
"Hopefully at least." Said Miroku. "The conga lines still going."
He was right. The conga line was still going now through the parking lot.
"How did that happen?" asked Inuyasha.
"Sango spiked the punch, and Shippo persuaded the teachers." Said Miroku.
"Persuaded?" I asked.
"They owed me for tutoring, and I made sure they wont remember."
"I don't even want to know Shippo."
"Good cause I'm not telling." He said smiling brightly at me, as I drove off from the school.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"My homecoming pictures are ruined! The idiot photographer wouldn't even let us do retakes later on! Naraku-kun's tux is completely ruined." Bawled Kikyo with the other cheerleaders.
Their pictures ruined as prom king and queen. Almost made me pity them.
Nah.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Surprisingly we weren't at school. I was with Inuyasha at dinner right now. The cheerleaders must have all felt like going for dinner at the same restaurant, the night after homecoming. Coincidence? I think not.....
"Something's up." Said Inuyasha.
"You figured it out too."
"Well Naraku's gang was a bit of a giveaway." He said frowning out the window.
"That and the cheerleaders aren't eating or ordering."
Can you tell were observant people?
"Come on Kag. Lets get out of here before something happens."
"Coming."
We paid quickly and made our way for Inuyasha's car when Naraku's gang surrounded us. It just had to be dark, curses!
"Well, here's the little ones. A girl and a mutant, this'll be too easy."
"Stay back Kag." Said Inuyasha. He had a glare in his eye basically saying 'come close an die'.
"Come now Inu-chan, we just want to play. We'll show you who the strongest really is!"
One of them charged at Inuyasha but was punched hard in the gut making fly into another car and vomit on the hood. I felt sorry for the owner....There were 3 left, and both looked eager to throw a punch. One came at me and another at Inuyasha at the same time. I turned and kicked him in the wrong area, which had him howling in pain, while Inuyasha just sent them flying with a high kick. Who says karate never pays off?
The only one left was Naraku. Unfortunately for us, he had a long knife. A very sharp and deadly looking blade too.....He came at Inuyasha and they went around each other until finally Naraku leaped at him. Inuyasha was cut on the arm, but Naraku get hit and kicked until he was on the ground coughing up his own blood.
"Let's get out of here Kag."
"Right. I'm coming."
He put his arm around my shoulders, squeezing them gently for comfort. We got into his black car and drove off.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"The secret spot."
Wow. We hadn't been there for a long time. The secret spot was a place above the park, giving you a perfect view of the starry sky. We had been going there since we were 5. It was a place of comfort, peace, and cheering each other up in times of need. It was also the one place in Tokyo you can see the stars because of all the city lights.
He drove up the small incline till we pulled over and looked at the horizon. A large moon and hundreds of stars filled the night sky. It was breathtaking.
"Are you okay Kagome?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"I'm just worried about you recently. With Kouga, and tonight's attack and everything..."
"Inu, I'm fine." I said smiling. "Do you think Kouga planned the attack?"
"I wouldn't doubt it. He doesn't want me near you anymore."
"You're my best friend. I'm not losing you." I leaned close and put my head on his shoulder looking up into the night.
"Good. Cause I'll always be there for you Kag."
I just smiled.
Chichiri4488:
Was it good fluff? It was supposed to be. If it wasn't then fine, cause I'm brain-dead! I need sugar! -_-#;; need/want/kill for sugar! I need a nap. So tired..... evils of algebra and other homework keeping me awake....**shudders**
I hope you liked homecoming! ^_________^
