Chapter 26
It's the day of the make up dance. Inuyasha and Kagome dressed up and made sure nothing happened this time that would ruin their second chance of winning. Inuyasha picked up Miroku and Sango first. Then he picked up Kagome and her family.
Kagome wore her new dress, Mrs. Higurashi wore a black dress, and gramps wore a regular tux. Souta wore a cute blue tux sorta like Inuyasha's but he had a black tie to go with it.
They drove to the building, parked, and went inside.
"Um will see you guys later" Sango said as they entered the building.
"Where you going?" asked Kagome
"We have to do something" Miroku replied
"And that is?" Kagome questioned
"It's a surprise" Miroku grinned "You'll find out later"
"Tell me!" Kagome yelped
Sango smacked Miroku for telling too much information. "See you later" Sango pulled Miroku with her before he could say anything else. Kagome and Inuyasha shrugged and walked over to the secretary to sign in.
"Ah Miss Higurashi, Mr. Tashio you decided to join us today" the secretary said.
"Yes" the both said.
"I assume that there won't be anymore trouble, so we don't have to reschedule the dance this time" she asked.
"Not a word from us" Kagome smiled.
"Excellent, oh… you don't mind being the last dancers do you?" she asked
"What!" But…" Inuyasha was about to argue til Kagome nudged him to shut up.
"Not a problem at all" she said meekly. "You know the saying save the best for last"
"Excellent, see you then" she smiled.
"Thank you" she said pulling Inuyasha away from her.
When the 2 were away from the secretary, Inuyasha exploded.
"Why'd you do that?" "I don't want to be last!" "Who said we have to be last" "Who made you in charge to make these decisions" Inuyasha bombarded Kagome with questions.
"To answer in order" Kagome took a deep breathe and answered his questions. "I did that because we can use this as an advantage." "Too bad it was done, so we're up last." "I say we have to be last" "And I made myself in charge because you can't control your temper and that temper will kick us out of the competition and our chance to win" Kagome sighed, out of breath as she said that.
"But…" Inuyasha tried to say but Kagome knew what he was gonna say.
"How can we use being last as our advantage, you ask?" "Well we'll be able to see what we're up against and who" she said folding her arms and leaning on the wall.
"How did you do that?" And how did you know I was gonna say that?" He asked
"I just do" "And to your second question….eh, I had a feeling you would say that" she smiled.
"You're freaky" he raised an eyebrow
"I know" she smirked
The 2 looked around at the dancers. There were some that were confident of winning and others who were so nervous that they were freaking out. Then Kagome and Inuyasha saw 2 people in the crowd.
"Hey isn't that Kouga and Sesshomaru?" Kagome questioned. "What are they doing here?"
"Probably to interfere so we don't win" Inuyasha growled
"Inuyasha don't jump into conclusions" "Maybe they just wanted to watch people dance?" Kagome suggested
"Not likely" Inuyasha shook his head
"And what makes you say that" Kagome narrowed her eyes on Inuyasha.
"Come on Sesshomaru…watch people dancing? HA! He never liked dancing in his life, nor like watching people dance…heck he doesn't even like humans" laughed Inuyasha
"Whatever, and what about Kouga?"
"He doesn't even know how to dance" "He probably came to see you and torture me" grunted Inuyasha. Before Inuyasha and Kagome could say anything else the announcer began to talk.
"Welcome back ladies and gentlemen" "I apologize for the incident that occurred 3 days ago and that you had to wait 3 days more cause of it." "So to make up for what happened we'll start as soon as possible!" the announcer announced. Everyone clapped when he finished.
"Our first dancers are Miss Eri and Mr. Hojo" the announcer boomed in the microphone.
People cheered and soon it died out as the music began and the dancers began to dance. They danced to a waltz song. After 4 minutes of dancing the dancers stopped and bowed, the audience clapped. The dancers walked off the dance floor as the 2 dancers entered the stage.
"Our second dancers are Miss Ayumi and Mr. Bankotsu" the announcer said
The audience clapped and became quiet as the dancers danced to jazz music. They made a couple mistakes, making the audience laugh a little. When those 2 were done they walked off the stage embarrassed.
"Our third dancers are Miss Yuka and Mr. Jakotsu" the announcer clapped.
The dancers danced to a salsa song. Jatotsu accidently stepped on Yuka's foot making her yelp. The audience giggled. Inuyasha laughed as Kagome sighed. This is gonna be an easy win Inuyasha and Kagome thought.
After the song ended Yuka yelled at Jakotsu for his stupidity.
The next dancers went on the dance floor. They danced the reggae this time. (That's an actual dance, believe me)
"That Yura isn't bad" Kagome said looking at the girl
"Neither is that Suikotsu" Inuyasha grunted that there might be a bit of a challenge after all.
When those two were done the fifth dance couple came up to the dance floor.
"Our next couple registered just a few days ago, so please give it up for our 5th dance couple, presenting Miss Ayame and Mr. Kouga." The announcer said. Ayame and Kouga went up to the dance floor. They danced the cha cha.
"THAT WOLF IS IN THIS" Inuyasha yelled.
"Aw they make a nice couple" Kagome said happily that Kouga won't be bothering her again.
"Just because we're in this, he signs up all the sudden" growled Inuyasha.
"Looks like you were wrong Inuyasha" "But you have to admit they're not bad, better than we first thought" Kagome said as the two bowed to the cheering audience.
"Not for long" Inuyasha grumbled
"Our next couple and dancers number 6 is Miss Rin and Mr. Sesshomaru" the announcer said happily.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Looks like he does like dancing" Kagome said surprised. "And that must be Rin, he's girlfriend"
The two made their way to the floor. Rin smiled proudly and Sesshomaru smirked. The 2 danced foxtrot. (Also an actual dance)They didn't make a single mistake. When the music ended Sesshomaru kissed Rin on the lips. Rin blushed madly as the audience awed. The 2 walked off the stage arm in arm.
"Again you were wrong…again Inuyasha, he does like humans since he just kissed one" giggled Kagome. "Wow I was wrong too, this is gonna be harder than I thought." "First Ayame and Kouga now Sesshomaru and Rin, they're all really good" Kagome awed at the two couples.
"Kouga wasn't that special "And that jerk Sesshomaru didn't tell me he was in this, such a showoff" growled Inuyasha jealous.
"Inuyasha just shut up now, you were wrong about them like how many times….you were wrong about Kouga and Sesshomaru dancing, they didn't come here to torture us, Sesshomaru likes to dance and likes at least one human, Kouga knows how to dance so that's about 5 times you were wrong, so stop jumping to conclusions."
"Wow that's a lot" giggled Kagome as she thought of it.
"Shut up" he growled in embarrassment.
"Now our 7th dancer and second last dancers for the night, they registered also just a couple days ago so, please give it up for Miss Sango and Mr. Miroku!" the announcer boomed.
"THEY DID WHAT!" Inuyasha yelled he couldn't take anymore surprises. First Kouga entered at the last minute, then Sesshomaru comes unexpected dancing like an expert, and now his best friends were in it.
"So this is their surprise" Kagome said impressed. "I have to admit I was surprised" "I wonder if they're that good" wondered Kagome
"I'm gonna kill them" Inuyasha mumbled
"See Inuyasha this is why it's better to be last, you see who and what we're up against" Kagome said putting a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "Plus you get to see why it isn't good to jump to conclusions"
"Whatever" Inuyasha said as they watched Sango and Miroku dance.
Sango and Miroku danced to tango. They danced like they didn't have a care in the world. For 4 minutes they danced without a sweat or a mistake. The audience clapped and cheered when they finished. They took a bow and went over to Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Did you like the surprise" Sango grinned at the 2.
"Whatever" Inuyasha folded his arms and huffed
"I loved it! I was really surprised you could get a routine all down in 3 days" Kagome said amused.
"It was tough, especially since Miroku couldn't keep his damn hands to himself" growled Sango.
Short Flashback
Miroku and Sango were busy practicing for the dance but Miroku couldn't keep his hands away from Sango's butt.
"Miroku come on don't you want to be in the contest?" Sango said annoyed
"Of course I do"
"Then stop touching my ass! This isn't the touch my ass contest!" she yelled
"It can be" he winked
"Ugh…please Miroku can you be serious for this one time?" she pleaded
"For you, I'll do it" he smiled
"So you'll be serious about this?"
"Of course my dear Sango"
"Good, now from the top."
End of Flashback
"Hey, but we got through it right?" Miroku smirked
"YUP! That was so much fun" she smiled and hugged Miroku. Miroku grinned and hugged her back. He was reaching for her butt then.
"Miroku I know what you're doing and it's not gonna happen. So don't ruin the moment" Sango growled.
"Got it" Miroku said and kept his hands to himself.
"NOW! FOR OUR LAST COUPLE FOR THE NIGHT! The announcer screamed into the microphone. Inuyasha had to hold his ears from the loud feedback. The audience cheered.
"Give it up for our last couple, Miss Kagome, and Mr. Inuyasha" he said
"Good luck" Sango said hugging Kagome
"Thanks" she smiled. Inuyasha took her hand and lead her to the dance floor. People applauded as they walked to the center of the floor.
"This is it" she whispered as she stood nervous.
"This is where all our hard work pays off" Inuyasha whispered back.
"And it's all worth it" she smiled at him as she faced him with her arms to his side.
"Inuyasha nodded and they started to dance as they music began.
