*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"Okay!!! Thank you For meeting me here today!!" Said Rin from her seat. She had invited every one into her dorm for a 'meeting. " me and seshy, well just me, got this great idea!!"

Kagome rolled her eyes. Every time Rin got an idea it never worked. She remembered shopping and being forced to buy this one shirt because it went well with another . . it didn't. Looking around the room she saw that no one was pleased with this info.

"so anyway I told seshy that we are the only couple in our group! So why not match our friends up!!!" Rin looked and the non interested faces in the room. But a glare from 'Sesshy' made them into happy faces.

"so . . . are we dating people at random?" Said Sango skeptically, speaking for every one. Yuki and Yuna didn't look happy but Miroku had a stupid grin on his face and was staring into nothing.

"yea! We have five girls. Kagome Sango, Kikyo, Yuna, and Yuki. And we have five guys. InuYasha, Miroku, Kouga, Naraku, and we didn't have enough so I grabbed Hojo." Hojo looked thrilled about this.

Getting up from her seat she grabbed the sombrero of Naraku's head and threw some papers into it that she had gotten from her pockets. Walking over to InuYasha she Held it out for him.

He slowly reached in and grabbed a paper and watched as Miroku, Kouga, Naraku, and Hojo did the same.

"Okay guys you will officially be boyfriend to the girl on the list until Christmas break is over . . .no dumping!" Kagome glanced at the guys, not really wanting any of them and really hoping she didn't get Naraku.

"wait a sec!" said Yuna standing up." If these are our "boyfriends" we have to go with them to the Christmas dance!"

Rin nodded.

"but" she continued. "I have a date!"

"no you don't I canceled him." Said Rin as she turned to the guys. " okay one at a time you will same the name of the girl on your list and you will be a couple!!"

Hojo happily ripped open his paper and starred at the name. "umm . . .Sango?"

Sango's Eyes widened and the janitor boyfriend.

"at least its not Miroku" Whispered Kagome under her breath as Sango looked disgusted at the guy who was winking and blowing kisses at her.

"aww . . . isn't that sweat! Miroku you next!"

Miroku casually opened his paper. "Yuki"

"Yuki sighed in relief, very thankful she didn't get Naraku.

Bad luck for her sister . . .

"Okay Kouga your turn!"

he looked at the two girls left. Kikyo and Kagome were sitting patently, waiting for him to open. Looking down he read the Name. "Kagome"

InuYasha Felt sick all of a sudden as he glared down at his paper.

Kikyo

"hey sugar baby!!' She said as she sat In his lap. He Abruptly stood up and knocked her off his lap,

"don't try to leave InuYasha!! I'm not done yet!" Said Rin and she grabbed his hair in an attempt to stop him . . .it failed.

"grrr . . .any way you must take your girlfriend on dates!!!" Said Rin Excitedly as every one left her room.

*

Kouga and Kagome decided to meat up later and chat. It was actually there plan if Rin came by to say they were dating.

Kagome Walked into the bookstore and looked around. It was Quarter past three, the time she and Kouga had put away for their "date".

Looking around she saw him looking at some books ( wow in a book store!) and walked over. As she walked over to him she thought. Kouga, to her, was one of those guy friends you would never think about dating. He just got along to great with the girls and was never noticed as a guy. ( I'm not making him gay! Don't worry) She and Sango had joked about dating Miroku and InuYasha, But Kouga was never brought up.

"hey!" She said as she walked up to him. "ready for our "date"."

He laughed. He has a nice laugh. They walked over to the starbucks part of the store, ordered capachinno's and sat down on one of the big, squashy couches.

Kagome was surprised on how well they fell into conversation. Soon the hour that they had taken out of their vacation was up and Kouga had to go to work.

"Where do you work again?" Said Kagome as she buttoned her coat and Walked out into the snow.

"at Virgin Records . .Down the street.' He said as he also bundled up tightly.

Kagome found herself staring at him for a minute. He really is kinda cute. She quickly shacked off that thought, waved goodbye and ran back home.

*

"Well!! How was your Date!!" asked Sango as she Hung another dress on the hanger. " Rin said that Sesshomaru said that Kouga talked a lot about you after your date"

Kagome Sighed. It had been the sixth time some one had asked her that. Apparently Miroku had stopped in the store they were at to pick up some 'magazines" and he had seen them and spread it to the whole world. The only one who hadn't said anything was InuYasha. She didn't Blame Him. Kikyo had been following him around, calling him pookie and stuff. Strange rumors said that he liked it . . .but it was Miroku who had told them that so she didn't buy it.

"hey I told you already!! We just talked about what we did before Shikon and that was it" Kagome Said as she looked at Sango who was trying a yellow dress on . . . not a good color for her.

"sure" She said with a grin as she went to pay for a dress with Kagome. She had Finally picked a pretty blue and Green dress, for the Christmas dance.

Kagome was already exited about the dance. It would be on Christmas from 9 at night to nine in the morning. Her Dress was dark red with silver beads along the bottom. At First Kagome was miffed about not choosing who her date was but now, Kouga wasn't too bad . . .

*

Kagome looked at her reflection in the mirror for the millionth time, just to make sure that her hair still looked great. Kikyo was looking in the other mirror. Her Dress was White and red and not horribly unfashionable . . . oh wait never mind . .she just put a lot of holly in her hair . . . .makes her look like a bush in a dress . . .

A knock at the door brought Kagome from her dress shifting.

Running to the door, Kagome pushed it open and found Kouga and InuYasha standing there. They both looked Nice. Kagome noticed InuYasha wasn't wearing a tie and his shirt wasn't tucked in . . and converse weren't normal dress shoes . . .

InuYasha starred at her. She was indeed, very pretty, prettier than normal. "Your look-"

InuYasha stopped himself. "Feh"

She sighed at the half demon who was looking at his date with a look of disgust. Kouga handed her a couple of red carnations, and a grin.

"here! Beautiful Flowers For a beautiful . . Girlfriend" He said as he choked out the last words and turned red. She Grinned and took his arm and Lead Him out into the night.

*

The Dance was set up in the cafeteria. Kagome thought that it really wasn't a bad place for it. A giant Christmas tree had been Brought in the week before. But now the whole room was decorated for Christmas. In the middle of the room people were dancing. In the one corner, mistletoe was hung from the ceiling and couple's were lined up. Kouga grinned when he saw Miroku try to get Yuki to go there.

When they met up with every one else every one had a great time. Even InuYasha wasn't his grumpy self and was in a good enough mood to spike the punch!

Finally the last slow song started and Rin made every one dance with their dates. Kouga lead Kagome to the middle of the dance floor. As they Danced she looked at all the Couple's. Sango and Hojo were chatting happily, but Yuki was trying to get Miroku from 'wandering". Naraku had shown up in an ugly pink tux and Yuna didn't look so happy, she had attempted to avoid him the whole Night. InuYasha Was ignoring Kikyo who was Fussing over him in baby talk. He just stared at Kagome. A little freaked out she turned her back to him.

InuYasha watched the two of them dance.

She looked really great tonight, and that bimbo got to take her.

Then you admit you like her?

Oh shit not you again! Don't you ever take breaks!

No

Grrr

You Are jealous of them

No

Kagome Looked at Kouga For a while, then he looked at her, she she looked down. "actually Kouga, you aren't a bad Boyfriend . . ."

"Really?" He said Looking at her. She nodded. "then . . . What about . . . . after break . . . we . . keep this up . . I mean if you want to . .you could . . still be my girlfriend?"

He Looked at her nervoisly. When she didn't say anything he Turned red " of Course you Don't want to . . um . . never mind."

Kagome Just Starred at him, totally shocked by this. Then, Very Gentally She kissed him.

I am not jelouse . . .
