Chapter 17
With just weeks away from the dance competition, Kagome and Inuyasha practiced 10 times harder and better. No mistakes were gonna be made with the competition just around the corner. Sango and Miroku practiced with them, they couldn't enter the contest since they need more practice to come up with a routine. So they just helped Inuyasha and Kagome however they can.
"KAGOME!" That's all wrong! Do it right!" yelled Inuyasha
"I'm sorry but I'm just too tired" she yelled back
"Well suck it up! The contest is in a few weeks and we can't screw this up now!" he hissed
"Really Inuyasha, I don't want to lose as much as you." "But if you continue to do this to me I'm just gonna die" she snarled
"Then do it properly and I won't have to scream at you" he huffed
"I will as soon as I rest" she said stubbornly and sat next to Sango
"ARGH! Kagome come on, this is no time to be like you!" Inuyasha groaned and tried to pull Kagome back up.
"Hmph…You can't make me" she acted like a 2 year old, having to wiggle out of Inuyasha's grip she sat back down and crossed her arms.
"Kagome get up now!" he groaned
"Inuyasha you won last year and you'll win again this year, so stop your whining!" Kagome snapped
"Last year I won because I won by practicing hard, and this year I might not because I have you as my partner!" he yelled
Kagome stuck out her tongue at him and continued to act hard to get.
"Kagome just do it, he's getting on my nerves" Sango sighed getting up from her seat.
"Sango I'm fucking tired and I'm sweating like a horse" "LET ME REST!" she yelled and she put on her head phones ignoring the yelling of Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, let her have her rest, you need one as well" "Since you've been dancing nonstop for 4 hours" protested Miroku
"You don't get it monk! It's in 2 weeks and we're not ready!" Inuyasha hollered
"Well, I think you are. And besides if you continue to practice like this neither of you will be able to even move your feet on the day of the dance" said Sango calmly
"Ugh" Inuyasha growled knowing Sango was right
"Relax Inuyasha, you said the same thing last year with her as your partner" Miroku put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder making sure he doesn't mention her.
"Yea, I know but we've been working so hard, and I don't want that to go to waste" Inuyasha sighed and lightened up a bit
"It won't trust me" Miroku smiled to Inuyasha then walked over to Sango. He bowed to her and held out his hand. Sango blushed and giggled at the same time. She took his hand and they danced.
"Guess they're right" Inuyasha muttered to himself and sat down next to Kagome. Kagome looked up and looked Inuyasha who was watching the two friends dance. Kagome sighed and took off her head phones.
"Alright you win" she sighed and got up.
Inuyasha looked at her "Nah, you rest up I guess I have been hard on you"
"Got that right" Kagome mumbled. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and continued to watch the couple dance.
"They're not bad" Kagome smiled
"Yea, all they need is a routine and they can enter the competition" Inuyasha grinned
"Inuyasha, do you really think we can win?" Kagome questioned
"Of course, you have me as a partner" he grinned stupidly
Kagome rolled her eyes and let out a little laugh. Just then a loud slam to the door interrupted the couples dancing. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at a couple who stood by the wide open door. There stood Kikyou and Naraku arm in arm grinning.
"I hope you're not entering the competition with those lame dances" Kikyou narrowed her eyes at the couple.
Sango was fuming with anger, wanting to strangle Kikyou, but Miroku held her back.
"Ah Inuyassie and slut, nice to see you again" Kikyou walked up to them with Naraku behind her.
It was Kagome's turn to be angry. "Who are you calling slut, SLUT!"
"Oh the bitch that stole my Inuyassie away from me" she glared
"You're calling me a slut and a bitch because you think that I took Inuyasha from you?" Kagome was then on the floor laughing.
"What's so funny bitch" Kikyou stared at her like she was crazy.
"You, that's what" she said stop laughing then. "First of all you whore I didn't steal Inuyasha away from you, second, you happen to break up with him for some guy and then come back begging for forgiveness because of the slut you are" she grinned
Kikyou was enraged. "Inuyassie you're gonna stand there and allow her to diss me like that?" she spat
"Uh Yea" he smiled while Kikyou was fuming
"So you mind telling us what you are doing here" Kagome asked all the sudden
"I have to protect my Inuyassie from bitches like you" she grinned
"Oh so, who's protecting Inuyasha from you" she gleamed
"Oh think you're so smart, dontcha bitch" Kikyou yelled
"Yea pretty much" she pointed out the obvious
Kikyou growled ignoring Kagome she then turned to Inuyasha "So baby are we entering the contest this year?" she asked politely
"Yea" he said. Making Kikyou's face lighten up.
"But not with you" he then added
Kikyou's face turned back to mad face. "What do you mean honey?"
"Do I have to spell it out for you" Inuyasha sighed
"I guess you do" Kagome grinned as Kikyou sent a death glare to her
"What I mean Kikyou, you slut, I'm going to be entering the dance competition with Kagome as my partner and not you ok?" He said it slowly for her to get
Kikyou was red of anger. "Stupid bitch you'll pay for stealing my Inuyassie, and I'll make sure you lose that competition!" Kikyou yelled. "Come on Naraku, we're going" she stormed out of the studio.
"Nice to see you again Miss Kagome" he gave a wicked smile to her and walked out the door. Kagome shivered from that look in his eyes.
"Wait, again? You've met Naraku? Inuyasha said a little mad and surprised.
Kagome nodded her head.
"What did he do to you?" he growled and checked her if she was ok.
"Damn Inuyasha he didn't do anything to me" Kagome said pissed off. "When I was on my way here on the day I caught you kissing Kikyou…she got mad of the thought and continued….before I came to the studio I happened to bump right into Naraku, that's all"
Inuyasha sighed in relief that nothing happened to her. He hugged her and she hugged him back.
Miroku and Sango were just watching the show and said nothing.
"Ok now that's done, can we go back to the routine" Inuyasha said out of nowhere
Kagome got mad and slapped him in the back of his head.
"Ow whatcha do that for" he groaned rubbing his sore head.
"For ruining the moment" was all she said and went to put the music back on.
When Kagome and Inuyasha were done practicing for the day and Miroku and Sango were tired of dancing they decided to head home. Tired of all the excitement for the day. Miroku was going to take Sango home so Sango said goodbye and followed Miroku to his car.
"So that leaves you and me" Kagome smiled.
"Yup, so need a ride?" Inuyasha grinned.
"Sure, why not" she said and followed him to his black and red Mercedes. As they headed over to the car they were stopped by Inuyasha who smelt a familiar scent. He growled, grabbed Kagome's arm and pulled her to walk faster.
"Inuyasha I can walk thanks" she said trying to pry his claw of her
"Walk faster Kagome" he muttered
"Why?" she asked but her questioned was then answered by a speedy figure coming out of nowhere.
"Hello Kagome, my sweet" Kouga smiled and hugged her. Kagome was pulling away from his arms but no luck.
"Get away from her wolf" Inuyasha growled
"Oh you're back huh mutt face" he groaned
"I said get away from her" Inuyasha's face turned redder by the second
"No, she's my woman, so go back to that Kikyou girl" he hissed
"Kouga get off me! I can't breathe" Kagome lied
"Oh I'm sorry my dear" he said and let go. Kagome was then freed from his grip allowing her the chance to get away. She took that chance, ran to Inuyasha and hid behind him.
"Drat, you fooled me my Kagome" he cursed
"And you're a fool to believe it" Inuyasha grinned
"Give me back my woman, you already have one so why take my Kagome"
"I told you wimpy wolf that I don't like Kikyou anymore!" he roared
"Sure you don't, you probably love her" he snickered
Inuyasha was full of anger; he launched an attack on Kouga. Kouga dodged it and punched Inuyasha in the back. He succeeds but Inuyasha got up and punched him in the face. Kouga then had a bloody nose. Kagome was scared and frightened at what she was witnessing. She screamed for them to stop, but they continued to fight. Inuyasha took the final blow; he kicked Kouga in the sacred place leaving him on the ground in pain. Inuyasha then picked up Kagome and dumped her into the back of the car and he drove off.
Inuyasha had to listen to Kagome's loud angry lecture along the way. When she was finally tired of screaming and fell asleep Inuyasha sighed, picked up her and brought her into her house. He tried ringing the doorbell, but it seemed Kagome's family was out. So Inuyasha went up to her window opened it with once hand while the other held Kagome. When he got it opened and went in. He placed the tired and silent Kagome on the bed and tucked her inside. He smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead. He saw Kagome sigh happily as she slept. He looked at her one last time and headed out the window and back to his car.
