"But I don't want to go"
"Yes you do, you said yes, didn't you?" Sango replied with a deviant smile.
"He'll be mean to me" kagome protested.
"No he won't"
"He was always before"
"That was three years ago, and remember the necklace?"
"Yeah"
"He was finally giving in when you left. If you never left you two would be friends right now"
"So this is all my fault!" screamed kagome
"No, you did what you thought was right" Sango said as she finished putting up kaomge's hair. It was in a messy bun with a few strands dangling around her face. "Done, now go" she pulled kagome up and motioned her toward the door.
"Do I have to go?"
"Well no, but you'll hurt his feelings, then who knows. He may be mean to you again."
Kagome frowned.
"Smile" Sango walk toward kagome and wrapped her arms around her. "If he does anything mean, I'll beat him" they both giggled.
"But what if I don't like him more than a friend?" kagome asked "I don't want to hurt him"
"you never said that you liked him, remember this is just to say thank you"
kagome smiled, "ok, I'll go"

"INU YASHA!" screamed Miroku
"What?"
"Hurry up, you have to be there in ten minutes."
"I'm going as fast as I can" Inu Yasha replied. He wanted to wear cologne but the smell was too strong, not to mention that fact that he want to beadle to smell kagome.
"Just come on, you look fine."
"Yeah yeah"
And they were off…
"What if I do something wrong?" It was obviously painful for him to ask that.
"You know kagome, not only is she beyond nice, but she's also very forgiving. She agreed to go out with you tonight didn't she?"
"Yeah"
"Ok here it is!"
"This is her house?"
"No this is Sango's"
"WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT KAGOME'S"
"Quiet down, she's here. Sango was helping her get ready"
"Oh" Inu Yasha said as he parked the car. He exited his car and walked toward the front door, where Miroku was already standing. "Hey Miroku?" Inu Yasha asked a little angry. "What the hell are you doing here anyway? This is my date, not yours"
"oh um, Sango asked me to come over tonight while you were out. I hope that doesn't bother you" He knocked on the door.
Inu Yasha started to sweat a little. He didn't know what to do or say. She was terrified that he would do something mean again out of habit and she'd never talk to him again. He just wanted her to know that he was sorry, with out having to say it.
The door flung open. "Hi Miroku" sango smiled
"My darling Sango" he kissed her hand and gave her a hug. SMACK "ow"
"I never said you could grab me!"
"Miroku!" Inu Yasha shook his head.
"Come in you guys. Kagome is almost ready" They all followed Sango to the living room. They sat down on the couch that faced the stairs. "KAGOME GET DOWN HERE!" she screamed.
"Coming!" a small voice descending the stairs. Inu Yasha looked up, waiting for her show her self. Miroku and Sango turned toward each other and started to talk about what movie they wanted to see, completely forgetting about kagome and Inu Yasha.
Kagome walked to the top of the stairs and stared to descend. Inu Yasha heard her coming and looked up to see kagome in a baby blue dress that went down to her feet. She had placed flowers in her hair and attacked them to her dress in random places. Inu Yasha could only stair.
They didn't say a word to each other. Not in the house, car, or for the first five minutes of the dance. Since Inu Yasha was the reason they won the game he and his date got in for free, along with the pictures. They walked inside and sat down a table in the back of the room with a sign posted on it; do not sit here.
"Inu Yasha is says not to sit here"
"I know, I had them put it there" he was proud of himself. The first thing that came out of his mouth wasn't something that made her cry. She smiled at him in disbelief.
She giggled, "tweeker"
"huh" he was now looking at her "and what make you say that" he was obviously joking.
"oh did I say that? I meant to say, what is a great word to describe you, oh yes, Wench"
His eyes grew. "What?"
"after all my nickname was big tits, I think its only fare"
He blushed, "no its wasn't, it was hard tits" he said before he knew it. Kagome looked down upset. He didn't know what to say. All the memories of him calling her hard tits and making her cry flooded his mind.
"that right." She weekly smiled. "you were in my PE class and we had swimming together," her eyes grew. She looked at him and pointed. A huge accusing smile grew on her face, "YOU WERE LOOKING AT MY BOOBS YOU PERV" she started to laugh.
"No I wasn't", he blushed.
"Then how do you know?" she still laughed.
"Well, everybody else were, so I assumed"
Kagome stopped laughing and looked at him slightly scared and serious. "You looked at everybody's boob's" there was a pause. Inu Yasha didn't know what to do; he was utterly embarrassed. Kagome just stared busting up. "perv" she managed to squeak.
"I caught you starring at me!" he said as he crossed his arms. "Admit it, you wanted me"
"Oh yeah. Inu Yasha I love you" she laughed again. "Why would I have liked you."
Inu Yasha became depressed. "Yeah, why would you" he whispered.
Kagome stopped laughing, "no Inu Yasha, I did! I tried to be your friend but you were so mean, I couldn't handle it"
"You liked me?" he was shocked.
She giggled. "Yeah I did"
They looked at each other and smiled.
"INU YASHA" came many voices from behind Inu Yasha. He turned to see a group of about thirty girls running toward him screaming, "dance with me" and "I ditched my date for you" his eyes grew huge and he hid behind kagome.
"Save me" he said in a small voice. The girls stop and look at his horrified.
"Who is she" said the girl in the front.
"Why are you hiding behind her" said the girl beside the girl in the front.
"Well, um, you see she's my date" she smiled innocently.
The girls just fainted. "Come on" he grabbed Kagome's arm and started to run.
"Wait! I didn't get to dance" she screamed. Hojo, Kouga, Onigumo, and Hetan heard this. They swarmed her. "Um hi". Inu Yasha stopped when kagome said she wanted to dance.
"Will you dance with me?" they all said at the same time. When they realized what they just did they turned to each other and growled. Kagome blushed. Inu Yasha was pissed. The school had not yet known that Kagome was the same girl he picked on when they were younger; they no longer feared dating her. He growled and grabbed kagome. He took her to the other side of the large room, away from screaming girls and horny guys. She had closed her eye because he was running really fast; it kinda scared her.
She opened her eyes and looked up at Inu Yasha, "Inu…Yasha?" he opened all the way to see Inu Yasha looking down at her.
"if we have that dance you wanted can we leave?" he asked as gently as he could, and he did very well. She nodded. Dearest started to play (the song kagome sang to during the rally) and he moved closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waste. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Inu Yasha found it hard to control his breathing while kagome was speechless. There were so many emotions going threw her, she had no idea what to do. She never got the opportunity to have this kind of contact with a guy because of everybody's fear of Inu Yasha. The fear and rumors even made it way to her school, so the guys there were afraid as well. Actually she was kissed once. She had to get him to drink till he forgot about Inu Yasha, but she got her kiss.
She hated him for what he did to her. Everybody still loved her, just too afraid to get close, which is why she loved sango so much. She didn't care. She was convinced that since she lived in a Martail Art Temple, with her expert fighter foster parents, she could take him if he tried.
She wanted to push him away and run but she couldn't. He wasn't mean to her the entire night, and felt as if he changed. She wanted to be friends with him, and it took her years to do it, but it happened.
"Inu Yasha" she whispered.
"yeah" he was having difficulty controlling himself.
"I have to go to the bathroom"
"ok" and she was off.

A few minutes later Kagome exited the bathroom and walked out onto the dance floor to find her date, but when she got there she didn't expect what she saw. He was dancing with another girl. She looked on, trying not to care, until people started to laugh. Then all of a sudden they kiss, and her heart stops. The student body starts to laugh even louder. Her eyes swelled with tears and she turned and ran. She ran past the food and out the front door. She ran down the street and just kept going. Finally she stopped. There, to the right, was a small convenience story with a payphone.

Sango and Miroku were sitting on the couch with Sango holding Miroku for dear life. They were watching the Exorcist; Sango was terrified. Suddenly the front door flew open and they both jumped letting out a loud scream.
"Where's Kagome" screamed inu Yasha, who had ran into the house and now stood behind the couch.
"What do you mean where's kagome, she's with you!" Sango screamed.
ring Sango reached over and picked up the phone. "Hello". Inu Yasha and Miroku started to talk about what happened. Inu Yasha told him about how Kikyo and him shared a dance together while kagome was in the bathroom. He had promised Kikyo long before Kagome came to their school that he'd save her a dance, But for some reason Kikyo kissed him. He pushed her away immediately, only to find out that the entire student body was laughing at kagome. He'd betrayed her, when actually Kikyo pushed herself on him.
"Sango"
"What's wrong?"
"I need you to come and get me"
"Where are you?"
"At some convenience story, surrounded by houses."
"Are you crying"
"Yeah"
"Ok I'm coming, don't you move"
"Hurry"
"I'll be there before you know it."
"kagome?"
"Yeah"
"What exactly happened?"
Kagome started to cry even more "He ditched me for another girl and" sniff "everybody was laughing at me. I knew he'd play a trick on me. Oh sango, I feel so stupid"
"Ok I'm coming" she hung up that phone only to turn around and glare at Inu Yasha. She was burning with the heat of a thousand suns. Inu Yasha and Miroku stopped talking. They turned to look at Sango, very nervously. "YOU!" she screamed. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Sango punched Inu Yasha as hard as she could. He could have easily dodged it, but was too scared to move.
"What did I do?" Inu Yasha asked while lying on the ground holding his face. Sango grabbed his hair and dragged him out of her house, leaving him on the front porch. Miroku followed.
Sango looked down at him and stared him in the eye "she finally got over what you did to her and now you pull this shit…don't you go near her EVER!" She was beyond scary!
"Miroku?" Inu Yasha begged for help.
"Hey, I'm not the one that kissed some girl"
Sango's eyes shot open as far as they could "WHAT?" she screamed, louder than she ever did, and she was a cheerleader/martial artist. Miroku took a step back and tripped on a rock and fell. When he sat up sat up he saw a very pissed Sango walking toward her car, and Inu Yasha laying on the ground moaning. He stood up and walked over to Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha was covered is dirt, blood, and bruises.
Miroku smiled and helped him up. "Now what did we learn?"
