Author's Note:
Sorry it took so long but I left for vacation. I've written down chapter 1-3 but now just have to type them. Ugh.... And I'm trying to find the perfect slow dance for Inu and Kagome but it's not very easy.
Summary:
Picture this – InuYasha trying to do the Cha Cha Slide. Well here it is. The Cha Cha Slide, and many more popular songs, all which InuYasha MUST dance to or face the mighty wrath of Kagome.
Rating:
PG-13 for language (Inu's got a potty mouth) and a small hint of lemon.

Chapter 2
The "Cha Cha Slide"
"Kagome, what is the Cha Cha Slide?" InuYasha asked as they stepped into the dark gym. It was packed with kids. They squeezed through the crowd until they reached the other side of the massive mob. The heat was really getting to him and in the end, he just abandoned the tie on a stack of bleachers.
"It's a dance. Here, the DJ's starting it. Now follow me and stand like this," Kagome replied, taking his hands and making him stand next to her.
"But Kagome, how do I-" but he was cut off by the loud music blasting from big black boxes near them. InuYasha clasped his hands to his ears in a desperate attempt to block out the sound. A very bad idea. Even though it had worked, InuYasha missed what the "DJ" had said. Everyone around him had suddenly shifted, and took a step to the left. He felt a slight amount of pressure on his right arm and turned to see Kagome smiling up at him.
"Like this," she said, as she followed the "DJ's" instructions. InuYasha, with Kagome still clinging to his arm, followed what she did.
"One hop this time," the "DJ" cried and the kids all jumped once while echoing, "One!" Needless to say, InuYasha was very confused.
"Come on InuYasha," Kagome said, pulling at his arm, "Just try it! Here's the second part!"
"To the left." InuYasha took a step to his left.
"Take it back now yall." InuYasha took a step back.
"One hop this time!" InuYasha synchronized with the other kids as they all jumped forward once, crying, "One!" out in reply.
"Right foot let's stomp." InuYasha pounded the ground with his right foot.
"Left foot let's stomp." InuYasha pounded the ground with his other foot, amazingly matching Kagome who was smiling widely at him.
"Cha Cha now yall." InuYasha froze. How the hell do you Cha Cha? He turned to face Kagome but received no answer here. All he did receive was a full blast of jealousy and anger.
Kagome was doubled-over with laughter as she watched Hojo do some strange dance. InuYasha could have sworn he saw Hojo smirk at him. He was about to attack him when the island like Cha Cha music faded and the regular music continued.
The normal "1 hop here" and "1 hop there" and other things InuYasha had mastered quickly vanished as new commands came from the "DJ."
"Slide to the left." It seemed as though the whole gym had moved two feet and Kagome crashed into him before starting to topple to the floor. InuYasha swiftly caught and steadied her. She smiled weakly but he didn't miss the disappointment in her face. To make her feel better, InuYasha did the next command flawlessly.
"Slide to the right." InuYasha's slide was perfect. He didn't knock into Yuka who was at his right and he smiled at Kagome.
"Crisscross!" The "DJ" shouted out unexpectedly. Everyone moved in some way but nether Kagome nor Yuka were any closer nor any farther from InuYasha. Puzzled, he watched and studied the kid in front of him's feet.
"Crisscross!" The "DJ" shouted again. The boy in front of InuYasha did a quick jig, but it was over before InuYasha had realized it was started. He had missed the whole thing.
"Cha Cha real smooth." This time, Kagome wasn't laughing at Hojo but doing a graceful dance. InuYasha tried to copy it but couldn't help watching her. Her body molded with the music and her hair flew around her. Her slim body twirled and spun in ways InuYasha didn't know it could. And her black dress just made everything even better.
"Stop drooling," Eri whispered in his ear, snapping him to attention. Touching his chin, InuYasha realized a thin line of saliva was slowly trailing down his chin and dripping off onto his shirt. He quickly wiped it off.
"Freeze!" the "DJ" suddenly cried a little later into the song. Everybody suddenly spoke with him and cried, "Everybody clap your hands!" People around InuYasha started clapping, and he looked at Kagome for support. She smiled at him before taking his hands and clapping them; like a mother playing with her child. InuYasha smiled at the feel of her warm hands on his own. But the moment was over too soon. He reluctantly let her hands go once everyone stopped clapping.
"How low can you go? Can you go down low? All the way to the floor? How low can you go?" InuYasha was stumped. What the hell did go down low mean? From what he learned from his fellow "classmates", it meant how close to the ground can you get. So, in a quick manner, InuYasha slipped to the floor, lying on his back and having just a wonderful view of Kagome's...
"InuYasha!" Kagome cried, laughing, "That's not what they really mean!" Luckily for him, she didn't realize what a wonderful view he had and that he was truly enjoying it.
'I hope I'm not blushing,' he thought, 'Damn! This is as bad as Miroku!'
"Can you bring it to the top? Like it never, never stop? Can you bring it to the top?" Once again, InuYasha was confused.
'How high can I get?' he thought, staring up at the ceiling, 'That's not hard.' And even though he was human, he easily jumped up and grabbed onto a pole that was running across the gym ceiling. As he looked down, he saw countless people watch, cheer, and applaud. But in Kagome's case, a single tear slipped slowly down her cheek. Once he landed gracefully, she ran up to him and threw her arms around his ribs, pulling him close.
"That's not what they mean. Don't do it again. You scared me," she murmured, ignoring everyone around them as the song continued on.
"Kagome you know even if I fell I'd be fine. You've seen me in much worse shape," InuYasha said softly, touching her elbow gently.
"Yes but you're human now. That ceiling is at least fifty-feet high!" Kagome protested.
"Kagome..." InuYasha lifted his hand to her face and flicked the tear away with the tip of his thumb. Kagome suddenly leaned into his touch.
'His hands... they're so warm... so soft...' Kagome thought as she felt his skin against her cheek.
"I've fallen from higher cliffs before even when I was human. Please don't cry. You're supposed to be having fun."
Suddenly, cheers erupted from around them. The "DJ" said something but InuYasha missed it as Kagome led him to the bleachers. They weren't along for long when Yuka, Eri, Arisa, and Hojo wandered up. The girls quickly dove into a conversation about the fifth song of the night. From what InuYasha heard, it sounded like a song Miroku would really like.
Hojo walked over to InuYasha and followed his gaze. After a moment he spoke, "That was some trick you did," he said, watching Kagome laugh with her friends.
"What are you talking about?" InuYasha replied hotly.
"That jump. It was very impressive. Kagome was so surprised. You took that song very seriously. But you made Kagome cry."
'What would this guy think if I told him how many times I've made Kagome cry?' InuYasha thought before answering.
"Ya, so?"
"So? Kagome never cries."
"Ya right," InuYasha almost laughed, "I've seen her cry hundreds of times. Besides, that was just one lonely tear. At least she wasn't sobbing."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you made her sob."
InuYasha promptly stood, "And what does that mean?"
"She needs someone better than you. Someone kind, strong, wise, and brave. Someone like... me."
"I'm very kind to Kagome. And I've saved her so many times, you know I'm both brave and strong." InuYasha was fuming. How could this... this bastard say things like this! How could his Kagome like him???
'My Kagome? Since when was she mine?' InuYasha thought, blushing at what he had meant.
"But are you smart? What's your best grade?"
InuYasha froze, 'Shit! Another one of Kagome's future words!' he thought, 'Well... let's see. If Kagome says an F is bad, then what's higher than a F? A is the highest. Let's try that.'
"A," he said simply.
"Just a plain A?" Hojo asked as he put his arms across his chest.
'More than just a plain A?!' InuYasha's mind whirled, 'You mean there's more?! Okay well... A good? No, that doesn't sound right. A... best? No. Hmm... A... plus? A plus? That doesn't sound too bad.'
"A plus," InuYasha replied, hoping he had gotten it right.
"Same here. Not bad. How's your mythology though. That is my personal best subject. I bet you don't know this. What was the famous jewel that could grant wishes that was around... oh, five hundred years ago?" Hojo smirked.
"The Shikon No Tama. Also known as the Jewel of Four Souls. I can give you a full history of it."
"Then what was the name of the priestess who fell in love with a legendary half-demon and died after killing her lover?"
InuYasha lowered his head. The silence lingered and he could just picture Hojo smiling, thinking he was better. But InuYasha couldn't answer. He couldn't hear her name.
"Kikyo," Kagome said, a bit of hurt in her voice. InuYasha quickly glanced up to see her and her friends standing next to them. Kagome looked at him then Hojo.
"This subject brings up a lot of... bad memories for InuYasha. How about we all dance? That's what we're here to do," Kagome said, pointing to the teen-covered dance floor.
As the others walked away, InuYasha grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her to him, kissing her lips lightly, "I'm sorry."
