Chapter 16: The dance

Author's note: I was listening to that song called Stan by Eminem so if some of the lyrics get mixed in there ignore it remember I'm writing this at like 1 in the morning.:)

Kagome and Inuyasha were greeted with the smell of fresh food as they entered the house. It was a shame they had already eaten or they would have joined Kagome's family for dinner. Instead they went up the stairs and into Kagome's room. "Ahh home sweet home" said Kagome stretching and falling onto her bed.

"May as well study since there's nothing else to do". She went over to her desk still shaking. She was still shocked at what Inuyasha had done. Then thinking of Inuyasha she said "Oh let me get you a sleeping bag so you can rest"

She exited the room and returned with a sleeping bag that said 'Star wars' on it and had a picture of something that looked like a sword to Inuyasha, only it was a green sword. "Here" she said setting it down on the floor next to her bed. Inuyasha nodded and slipped into it. Kagome tried to study but found she had a lack of concentration. She needed to ask Inuyasha what he had meant by that kiss.

"Inuyasha" she began, turning around to face him. He, however, was already asleep. 'Poor guy he must be so tired' she thought. She bent down next to him and started running her fingers through his long silver hair. 'He continues to surprise me, no matter how much I think I know him' she thought.

Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes. Kagome turning as red as a cherry made a feeble attempt to act as though she were asleep. Inuyasha could sense she was awake and said "You have issues when it comes to sleeping" Kagome couldn't help but grin at that. She turned over on her side so she could face him.

"Maybe I do" she replied. Their eyes met and they lay like that for a while. Kagome gasped when she felt him pull her to him. "Well don't worry you're not the only one with that problem." Inuyasha closed his eyes and she noticed him fall asleep again.

She tried to move but found he had a death grip on her. She finally decided to give up on moving and thought 'Fine you win but if mom walks in you're doing the explaining'. And with that she fell asleep.

Kagome woke up bleary eyed the next morning and glanced at the alarm clock. "Oh Crap!" she yelled out. It was already 8:20, meaning school started in ten minutes.

Inuyasha who sat perched on Kagome's bed jerked his head away from the window to ask "What's wrong Kagome?" "Class is in ten minutes and I haven't had time to get dressed!" Kagome looked really stressed and Inuyasha wanted to help her.

"Get dressed quickly" said Inuyasha. Kagome looked at him questioningly but did as she was told.

"Man these outfits get old after a while" Kagome whined. "Hop on my back" said Inuyasha. "Inuyasha I'm not sure" but before Kagome could object Inuyasha had scooped her up in his arms and hopped out the window.

"Where is this 'school' of yours?" asked Inuyasha. "Just keep going straight and I'll tell you if you need to change direction" replied Kagome.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him to make sure she didn't fall. Kagome clung onto him and they both blushed.

'Oh no he doesn't have his hat!' thought Kagome frantically. Quickly reaching into her schoolbag that was dangling in her free hand she grabbed a red beanie. She stuck it on his head as quickly as she could.

She hoped no one saw her: she could imagine the headlines 'Dog Man carries blushing school girl across Tokyo'. She looked up at Inuyasha and noticed something. 'He's so cute!'

It reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad at all (sorry random lyric outburst)

Inuyasha noticed the adoring expression on her face and asked "Nani?"

She just replied "Nothing"

Inuyasha set Kagome down in front of the school and said "have fun". Inuyasha got a few weird looks but Kagome was glad she was late or a lot of other people would have seen Inuyasha. Kagome skidded into the classroom and dived into her seat right before the bell rang.

After Kagome had a busy schedule of sleeping in her class while the teacher snapped at her to sit up unless she wanted to be written up (I'm not sure if students in the high school sleep, but I know I do in the junior high) she decided to talk to her friends for a while before the bell for the next class rang.

"Hey Kagome, how goes the rubella?" asked Ayumi. Kagome sighed; her grandpa was now telling them she had rashes, she needed to talk to him about that. "Oh it's fine." Replied Kagome.

'I heard Hojo tried to visit you but you were too sick to talk to anyone" said Eri. Kagome nodded "Umm yeah rashes really take it out of you".

"Are you going to be well enough to the Valentines Day dance that's two days from now?" asked Yuka.

Kagome suddenly remembered Inuyasha's chat with her about how he was glad Kikyo hadn't showed up two days later from then because he was gong to be human. Kagome slowly nodded.

"You should go with Hojo" Eri suggested.

"No I had someone else in mind" said Kagome dreamily thinking of Inuyasha.

"You mean the violent two timing boy?" asked Yuka.

"Yes, and he isn't THAT bad" said Kagome. "Anyways who are you all going with?"

"I'm going with the cutest guy I could find: Momiji-kun in class b" said Ayumi dreamily.

"Momiji cute? That guy has nothing on Kyou" snapped Yuka.

"You are all going with the crappiest guys: I'm going with Yuki." Said Eri.

Isn't his older brother gay?" asked Kagome.

"NO!" said Eri fiercely.

"Whatever" Kagome sighed as she looked out the window. She knew who to take, but the problem was convincing him to go.
