Catalina: uh...thanks for clicking the review button two times, lol, cause like we got two reviews of the exact same thing
Nuria: they're just regular humans, but they still have their form (like Inuyasha), good question, I never really thought of that...
Pollux2: Thanks for the longest review we've had so far, so far...lol
DEVL41: Ok, there's the people who reviewed...by the way, have you noticed that it's only crystaltears, angevil, and me who write, hehehe, i find that hilarious
um.. and, sorry we're such a bunch of lazy asses...--
Crystaltears: yeah...why IS it only US who write it.....??? cuz SOMEONE!!! cough is too busy writing another story of hers when she COULD'VE been helping me write LBA at SUMMER SCHOOL!....but anyways...
ok...uh, if we give spacy updates...we're sorry...cuz we're a bunch a kids that care about grades...damn. But, on the plus side...we might start updating faster...cuz even though I care about grades...I procrastinate a LOT!!! I procrastinate on the most important things currently in my life. And since I outline a lot of the story......I'll most likely procrastinate. So that's y we updated soooo slow in the summer. Since LBA was the most current "important" thing in my life, I procrastinated a ton on the outlines. But now that school's starting...I'll most likely be writing the story while procrastinating on homework. But that's just maybe. I'm thinking...we'll update it by august 29...cuz that's like....a month from when we updated last...sorry bout that...'
NOTE:::REMEMBER...It's the other half of Monday...and perhaps the whole Tuesday, if I get to writing it before August 29...
RECAP:
"You know what Inuyasha? I'm..."
Chapter 11-The Start of a Makeover
"I'm sick and tired of your 'I'm-better-than-everyone-else' attitude, ok? If you wanna keep acting that way, maybe I'll just have to stay home from the dance!!!! You're such a jerk! Poor Hojo didn't even SAY anything to you, and what do you say about him?"
"Hey!!! He's the one who just WALKED off anyways! And if you don't wanna come to the dance, than fine!! I can find some other girl to replace you! Besides...I'm helping you get Abe aren't I?"
Bad move Inuyasha...Kagome totally just blew up right then.
"I KNEW it, you are so disgusting!!!! You act like I'm some old coffee mug or whatever!!!! You don't just REPLACE people, ok? If you wanna act like some freak, then you can! I don't have to go to the dance with you...and I'm not even sure I WANT to anymore. People are not items! Get that through your thick skull. People aren't replaceable items! People have feelings! It's not just all about you, ya know! Consider other people for a change. All you care about is yourself! You...people like you...don't deserve to live!" She screamed, startling the animals around her.
Kagome was fuming! She had never been so...insulted before! And what's worse was that she felt...upset. She was upset that Inuyasha had only seen her as a material. Or something like that. She didn't know why; all he was a big jerk!
She dropped the things she had been holding on the ground and stomped past Inuyasha.
Kagome stopped to look for Hojo. When she spotted him washing the feeding bowls and such, she ran to him, "Hojo, I'm not feeling so good. Can you please take me home?"
"Um...sure Kagome. Are you alright?"
"Oh, fine, I suppose, I guess I just need to get home and take a break from all this."
So the pair walked out and buckled up and they drove back to Kagome's house.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha hastily put back the supplies Kagome had left on the floor. Then he ran to his car. "Great, what do I do? Is Kagome really mad?" Inuyasha was slightly disappointed...although he didn't know why, and it wasn't just because he would lose the bet to Kouga and Miroku.
Inuyasha shrugged off the weird feeling and got into his car.
After getting home, Kagome went up to her room and did nothing. Nothing could get her mind off what happened today. She tried everything she could to get her mind off of the subject. Ranging from reading, listening to music, attempting to go to sleep, all the way to doing some extra credit projects.
"Kagome, dinner!"
"Coming, mom."
"Oh well, maybe food will take my mind off things." She sighed and headed down the stairs.
Dinner was....well, silent. Usually Sota had something to say, but he'd gone over to Sango's to go play some video games with Kohaku. Mrs. Higurashi was silent apparently since she was the one asking her kids about their day...and since she could tell Kagome was definitely not in the mood to talk, she kept her mouth shut. Of course, Grandpa Higurashi sat at the table as usual thinking up his fortunes. And, Kagome was still thinking about the "incident".
Kagome was definitely not in the mood to do anything right now. She hastily finished her homework and didn't bother to check her sums before sullenly going to bed. After a good night's sleep...HOPEFULLY, she'd feel better.
Oh, yeah. Sleep fixes everything.
Kagome was wide awake and happy. She was right. A good night's sleep could do miracles! She was humming a tune and planning to talk to Sango at school about dress shopping. She was all happy...until the door bell rang...and why exactly did she have a strange foreboding that it was Inuyasha?
Wow...surprise, surprise!
"What are YOU doing here?"
"Um...to pick you up?"
The raven haired girl sighed...she was really not in the mood for an argument right now. She silently complied and jumped in the car. She didn't even say something like "You should really get seat belts fitted into your car." Or something like that.
Meanwhile, when Inuyasha was driving, he was thinking if he should apologize to Kagome for what he'd said yesterday. But then again...he'd never REALLY apologized to anyone before. And being the one and only Inuyasha....he had a big ego and couldn't get over his pride to say sorry.
"Hey Sango!"
"Oh, hey, Kagome! What's up?"
"Do you wanna go dress shopping after school? I think we seriously need to. You know I'm not the last minute type of person." 'Like guys are.' She added to herself.
"Oh, ok. That'll be fun. Just us girls hanging out. I mean, ever since Inuyasha asked you to the prom, all you seem to do is hang with him. I'm getting lonely with you not being around." Sango smiled.
"Yeah, but don't tell me you don't like spending time with Miroku. You and I both know you do."
Sango smiled sheepishly.
"Oh well, I'll meet you at my locker after school, and then we can go shopping."
In the afternoon, Sango and Kagome drove to the mall. It was the biggest shopping center in the city. It had everything. Ranging from clothes stores...to restaurants...to kiosks...to grocery stores. (I don't even know if those exist...but wouldn't it be cool? Your parents take you grocery shopping while ur out buying other stuff)
Kagome wanted the perfect dress. Just because she was going to the prom with Inuyasha on a deal didn't mean she wanted to embarrass him in front of everyone because she looked so disgraceful.
There was nothing wrong with admiring someone because they were smart...but to be honest. Kagome wished Inuyasha had asked her to the dance. Not just because he wanted to date a "brain". She wished he had asked her because he thought she was pretty...or something like that. But sometimes, Kagome got the feeling that Inuyasha didn't admire anything about her. Dating a smart girl for him was like doing an extra credit project to her. It challenged him. It was like saying, "I'll take a blonde or brunette, punk or prep, a short or tall, a skinny or heavy girl."
Inuyasha seemed to like labeling people. To him, she was a brain, Abe was a nerd, Hojo was a freak, and Inuyasha was "cool".
Kagome snorted. 'A person should only ask someone out if they LIKE them."
Sure...Kagome knew she wouldn't be popular...or "cool" for that matter. She was more interested in things like Biology than makeup. And she'd rather stay at home helping someone than be shopping at a mall. But today...she had to...She needed to find the "perfect" dress.
But after an hour of browsing around for the "perfect" dress, the girls didn't find
anything...at least, not anything they liked...either to informal...or too showy.
"Kagome, let's take a break. Get some food or something."
"Sure, I'm pretty tired too. We'll find a nice place to rest."
"Oh, and after that...we should go...and get contacts!"
"WHAT?!"
"I really don't wanna wear these glasses anymore Kagome! Please?"
"You know, I'm really not interested in sticking something in my eye..."
"Oh, COME ON, Kagome...it won't be THAT bad!"
For as long as Kagome could remember...she had looked at the world through frames. She'd never thought about getting contacts. The fact that she needed to stick something IN her eye just made her feel uneasy. How could people do that?
But then again...Sango had gone with her to get her ears pierced...
(Flashback)
"Come on Sango! It won't hurt THAT much!"
"Well...what if I accompany you, but not get them pierced WITH you?"
"No! Sango, I really want to have someone with me who's getting them too. I'm scared of going by myself. Please Sango?"
"Well......."
"Come on! Pretty please?"
"Oh, ok..." Sango sighed.
"Yay! Thank you so much Sango! You're the best friend a girl can ever have!"
And so the two girls had gone together to get their ears pierced.
(End)
Kagome smiled when she remembered how big Sango's eyes had gotten at the sound of the piercing gun. The sound of it puncturing a hole in your ear was enough to make you jump. It did pinch a little, but Sango had made it sound like they were torturing you for eternity or something.
"Well, ok...I"
'Besides...I don't have to actually USE them.'
So...an hour later, they found themselves standing outside of one of those nifty one-hour lense crafter stores...
The two girls got their contacts an hour later (gee...no wonder they call it a one-hour lense crafter). Sango had gone in first, then Kagome. Although Kagome was spazzing by the time the eye doctor took her in to be examined.
Now, both girls were wearing their new contacts. They looked...well different. Well, not Sango really, since her glasses were a little more recent. But Kagome looked like a completely different person.
Sango wasn't even sure Inuyasha would recognize Kagome. (This happened to angevil here...she goes up and says hi to someone...and they don't recognize her...jeez).
"Kagome! You look great!"
"Really?"
'She looks so much prettier when people can see those pretty eyes she has.'
"Yeah, Inuyasha will be blown away! He won't even recognize you."
"Am I really THAT ugly when I had glasses?"
"Oh, come on, Kagome, you know what I mean."
"I know, but do I look like a completely different person?"
"Well, to people who didn't know you before, you do."
Kagome beamed.
"Are you gonna wear them tomorrow? To school, I mean."
"No, I think I might surprise Inuyasha on Saturday. You know, with me looking different and everything."
"Oh, he'll be surprised alright!"
Kagome and Sango left the mall at about 6:00. Thank god Kagome had left a note for her and Sango's mom before they left. Or else their mother's would be worried sick about them!
The two girls left the mall carrying their dresses. They carefully put them on the backseat of Sango's car and drove home.
Crystaltears: ok...all in all, I think this was a semi-long chapter. Maybe it could've been longer if the rest of these people were helping me (for once). Sheesh guys, do your part! At least it wasn't a cliffhanger this time...hehe. Sorry this chapter doesn't have much Inu/Kag in it...but shopping for the dresses and getting the contacts are very important. Oh...and sorry for the bad grammar...it WAS written in like...1 hr or so, close to that...and no one edited it. And too bad...your not gonna know what the dresses look like until prom night.
Question: does san/mir really matter to you...cuz we know we haven't really worked on that....
Ok...here's some more quotes or w/e...but beware...they could be pretty dirty or rated R or something...so don't complain if it offends you
Boys are cheats and liars, such a big disgrace. They will tell you anything to get to second base--ball, baseball, he thinks he's going to score. If you let him go all the way then you are a whore--ticultures study flowers, geologists study rocks. All guys really want from you is a place to put his cock--roaches, beatles, butterflies, and bugs. Nothing makes him happier than a giant pair of jugg--lers and acrobats, a dancing bear named Chuck. All guys really want is...forget it, no such luck!
