Love gets me Every Time Chapter 1: Can't Fight the Moonlight, an inuyasha fanfic

Can't Fight The Moonlight

Disclaimer- I don't own any characters that I use in this story!

"I don't know about this girls." An uncertainty etched the deep brown eyes that now looked at the big building, mainly a blue banner that read 'Spring School Fling' in gold letters. She nervously pushed a lock of ebony hair behind her ear before she looked at her friend, who were rolling their eyes and pushing her towards the doors.

"You never have any fun Kagome, let's just go in there and have a good time!" Kagome looked over at her brown haired, caramel eyed friend, who had a huge smile on her face. Rin, one of Kagome's best friends, had known her for about two years and they had become great friends from the start. Their personalities were very different, Kagome much more serious and depressed than Rin's.

"Besides, I can't remember the last dance that you went to and actually had fun. I heard that Inuyasha is going to be there, and you two have been more than a little cozy." The girl with russet hair smirked at Kagome's blush, her light brown eyes shining in victory at hitting a soft spot for Kagome. This girl's name was Sango, the partier of the group. She was slightly on the wild side, and was always helping Rin drag Kagome into places that she really didn't want to go.

Sango always seemed to have unique clothes, this night wearing an army patterned shirt and a brown skirt made from velvety jean material. She had also chosen Rin and Kagome's outfit. Rin wore a pink tank top and khaki kapris. Kagome wore a simple black shirt and jeans, never being the one to wear anything too flashy.

Rin was the one with the best make-up styles. Rin had given herself a light purple eye-shadow and some light blush to add color to her pale complexion, making her look simply divine. Sango had demanded something extravagant for the hell of it, so Rin had given her a dark pink eye-shadow and dark black eyeliner to make her eyes seem bigger. The main project was getting Kagome to wear make-up, which took twenty minutes of talking and ten minutes of threatening before Kagome had given in. Since there was no real color to build off of, Rin placed blue eye-shadow with black mascara, no need for the rosy cheeked girl to wear blush.

When it came to making sure that people looked good, Kagome had the two best friends for it. Since Rin did make-up and Sango did clothes, both did hair styles. Rin did Sango's hair simply, adding a tan bandana and some glitter hair products to make her hair sparkle. She also did one small braid in the front of her hair that hung out of the bandanna. Since Rin's hair was so short, Sango flared it out to make her look slightly like a punk rocker. To add a little pizzazz into her hair, Rin also added some sparkles.

Both girls worked on Kagome's hair, each adding their own part to it. Since they had some time to spare, they managed to get the front two wisps to banana curl, pulling the rest back into a pony tail. Since they already had it out, they added glitter to Kagome, but on her eyes instead of her hair. Once this was done, they were ready to go.

"What does Inuyasha have to do with anything; I wouldn't want to go even if he was there. Besides, he's just a pig-headed jerk." Kagome replied, though her struggle seemed to lighten. As her fight with the girls winded down, the dark grey clouds that now hovered over them seemed to get darker, warning them that rain was soon to come.

"Oh great, now all that hard work is down the drain. What the hell…" Rin groaned. Kagome only rolled her eyes as Sango spoke up.

"It's not like we're going to be out here in the rain."

"We will be after the dance!" Sango ignored Rin and went back to Kagome's comment.

"I just want you to have some fun for once; all you do is shove that little nose of yours into your books and never get out." Sango had always had the tendency to be blunt; though this time she was right. All Kagome seemed to do was work on improving her studies and making sure that she stayed on the honor role. She went to a party occasionally, but never seemed to make it to dances. Her excuse, she had homework, especially math, which she needed to get done.

"Just come with us, we promise nobody will kill you." Kagome had to laugh at Rin's comment, which always seemed to brighten her mood slightly. Finally she gave in as they dragged her to the door, walking into the school on her own. She quickly walked over to the table that took the money, letting the older student mark her hand before she walked into the cafeteria.

The students that were in charge of the decorations always seemed to change the room completely. Signs were all over the place, and streamers with green and pink soared across the sky. The lights that flickered were already running, since the dance started right after dark came out. The DJ that was playing the newest hits seemed to get the packed dance floor into the mood since many students were dancing without care.

"Now this was the right time to come, about ten minutes after everyone else. That way we weren't the first, but also not the last ones at the dance." Rin said, slinging an arm around Kagome's shoulders.

"Well I wouldn't know this is my first dance in a while." Kagome replied, watching as Rin scanned the dance floor. "Now what are you doing?"

"What I always do when there are really hot guys around, looking for the one that has the best dance moves and isn't with another girl. God Kagome, don't you know me better than that?" Rin asked, her eyes stopping on a tall boy with black hair and deep blue eyes. "Miroku is looking pretty nice tonight."

"Back off Rin, he's a pervert anyways." Sango said, though Rin only looked at her confused.

"Why should I stay away, isn't that Kikyo's ex boyfriend?" Rin asked, making Kagome and Sango cringe. Kikyo was one of the few people that Kagome didn't get along with, but one of the many people that Sango didn't like. Kikyo had seemed to have the same feelings as the two girls, never really seeing them as potential friends. Since neither Kagome nor Sango were rich, Kikyo being friends with them was very unlikely. Rin seemed to have an Oka relationship with Kikyo, though they hardly talked.

"Well I'm just going to go talk to him. I'll see you girls later." Sango said, smiling and before and walking towards him.

"Does that girl think about anything other than Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"Well she says she doesn't think just about Miroku." Rin replied.

"Oh really, then what else does she think of?"

"No, I meant that she thinks of killing him too, and she says that's different." Kagome almost fell back in letdown before she steadied herself and looked back at Sango, who was now dancing very close to Miroku with a small blush on her face. Though the teachers had said that the students had to keep at least a half foot between them and had to face each other at all times, none tried to stop the kids when they did it. Another rule they didn't enforce anymore was the kissing rule, which had stated that nobody could kiss another student at the dance. Now the teachers didn't see such a problem with it, though sometimes the older teachers would warn students before walking away, mumbling about school dances in their time.

"Oh my god! What is Miroku doing with Sango!" Both girls looked back to see a mortified Kikyo, making Kagome smile. The girl was slightly taller than Kagome, and had dark midnight hair and grey eyes. Her hair seemed to reflect her personality, which could be really dark when she got angry. She would whine and complain instead of actually doing anything herself, and then would wait until one of her stronger friends helped her out. Though she was a complete snob, she was also very popular, which slightly confused Kagome. She never understood how someone so spoiled could be so popular, though she suspected that half of it was because of her family and the other half was because of her looks.

"What's the matter Kikyo, you look upset." Kagome said sweetly, causing a scowl to cross Kikyo's face.

"Yes, I want to know what your little friend is doing with my Miroku baby!" Kikyo shrieked, making Rin cringe.

"Well she knew that you two had broken up, so she wasn't stepping on owned territory or anything." Kagome replied, making Kikyo cross her arms.

"But it has only been three days; he should still be moping about the breakup. This isn't right, he can't have that much fun without me, I'm Kikyo Andrez!"

"Kikyo, didn't he break up with you?" Rin asked.

"Yea, but he should have realized by now that he made a mistake!"

"Well I'm sorry, but I think he's having fun with Sango." Kagome glanced back at the dancing couple, who had gotten a lot closer since she last checked. What nobody but Kagome and Rin knew was that Sango had secretly had a huge crush on Miroku, but since she had known him since she was little never acted on it. Miroku always seemed to show his feelings for Sango, and had told Kagome that he only went out with Kikyo to get Sango jealous. He had succeeded. Kagome was glad that Sango finally did something, because he seemed to be waiting for as long as he could.

"This is so unfair, come on girls!" Kikyo's friends only sent Kagome evil glares before following Kikyo like a puppy trailing after its master to the punch bowl.

"God I don't like her, not one bit." Kagome said, making Rin laugh.

"Well at least she isn't going after Inuyasha."

"Neither am I!"

"Oh come on, you two have been flirting with each other since the beginning of school, don't you deny it."

"Well not anymore, he just makes me want to punch something!" Kagome hadn't told either of her friends about the conversation that her and Inuyasha had on the phone the week before the dance, or the fact that Inuyasha had admitted to her that he had a crush on one of the girls in their school. When he had told her that she knew the girl he liked, she quickly made an excuse about her mother calling her and hung up the phone. She had deliberately avoided him for the entire week, not wanting to face the facts that her chances with him had been smashed. She cringed at the small ache that now filled her heart.

"Kagome, let's go dance!" Rin shook Kagome's shoulder, causing her to snap out of her thoughts. Without Kagome's consent Rin grabbed her arm and pulled her into the crowd. Kagome's face lit with embarrassment as she was dragged to the middle of the dance floor with the other teens that were now dancing.

"I can't dance, I told you this before!" Kagome said. Rin rolled her eyes as she started to dance, making Kagome feel awkward.

"Just let your body go with the beat, I'm sure you'll catch on. Stop being to tense, just let your body do what it wants and go with it!" Kagome watched as Rin seemed to be swept away by the music that now floated in the air mischievously. Kagome tried to think back to a time when she had actually tried to dance, but she couldn't find one. Finally she realized that she never gave dancing a real try, and she decided that now would be a good time to try.

She knew exactly what she was saw as, and she simply hated being stereo-typed. For once, I'm going to just let go. My grades are fine, Inuyasha is now running after some girl, my friends have both gone off dancing, so I have nothing to lose. With this thought, Kagome agreed that trying to dance wouldn't be the end of the world. Just as she had thought this, one of her favorite songs came on. She recognized the song as 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' by Leanne Rimes, and she couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the sensation to danced. Moving her hips slightly, Kagome fell into a rhythm that matched the song.

under a lover's sky
gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
if you think that you won't fall
Well just wait until
'til the sun goes down

Kagome couldn't remember a time that she had felt better than what she was feeling now. The beat of the song was driving her to dance like the girls she once considered party girls. She now realized that anyone could dance like them if they had the right motivation, and hers at the time was slowly shifting from her stereo-type to her thoughts about Inuyasha. She now listened to the next lyrics as she continued to dance, forgetting about the others that may have been watching. Of course one person seemed to be astonished at her personality change.

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
No...
You can't fight it...
It's gonna get to your heart

Inuyasha's eyes were deceiving him, he knew that they were. Now in front of him was Kagome, the girl that he had thought that he had figured out, dancing like nothing he had ever seen. She seemed to almost call out to him as she danced, like a siren who sung soft songs to the crew on the ships, leading them to their sealed fate. But no matter what he wanted to think, he couldn't help but walk closer to her, almost reaching her as the next verse sung soothingly into the air.

There's no escaping love
Once a gentle breeze
weaves it's spell upon you heart
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
'til your in my arms

When two arms circled around Kagome's waist, the eyes that she never realized she closed opened. She couldn't help but blush when she was pulled back into a firm chest, stopping her dancing for a moment before she realized she was crawling back into her shell. What am I doing, trying to stop just because someone actually noticed me? This is what I wanted; I wanted people to see that I'm not just some nerd. Who cares who it is, I just want to dance. Kagome took a deep breath before she started again, falling helplessly into the music once more.

Underneath the starlight, starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm so right
feel it steal your heart tonight

Inuyasha almost pulled back when Kagome had stopped moving, fearing that Kagome didn't want to be touched. He was about to pull away when he heard her take a deep breath, which made him grow curious. When he felt Kagome start to move again, he smiled and moved with her but not saying a word. He didn't want to stop the dance, feeling like he'd somehow connected with the girl that he had been chasing since he met her. He was slightly depressed when she had avoided him all week, figuring he had something to piss her off again. But when he thought about their last talk, he said nothing that would upset her. So what was it?

don't try your never gonna win

Underneath the starlight, starlight
There's a magical feeling so right
It will steal your heart tonight

Kagome felt like her and the person behind her were meant to dance with each other. It was a destiny that was unwritten, and she couldn't help but follow the path that soundlessly fell in front of her. She felt a small knot of guilt in her stomach when she thought about Inuyasha again; wishing that whoever was behind her was him instead. Get those thoughts out of your head, he likes someone else. You're just going to have to move on, get over it. But even as she scolded herself for thinking about him, she still felt butterflies in her stomach when this mystery boy's hand grazed her hip, thinking about Inuyasha's hand. As she thought of him, she fell deeper.

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
but you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
but you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
No...
You can't fight it...

Inuyasha now decided that Kagome had a couple of cards up her sleeves. Even though he knew she didn't tell him everything, the thought of her being one of the best dancers was nowhere near what he thought she would hide. He smiled when she became more fluent with her moves, but almost felt jealous at the thought of her pretending to be with another boy. He shook his head, dropping the thought. For now, he would pretend she was thinking of him.

You can try to resist
Try to hide from my kiss
But you know, don't you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
but you know, but you know
That you can't fight the moonlight
No...
You can't fight it...

"You're a good dancer." Kagome finally managed, feeling the song slowly wind down. She heard a low chuckle behind her before she felt a head on her shoulder.

"You're not too bad yourself Kags." Kagome's eyes widened in shock at the voice, recognizing it instantly. How could she not, it was the boy she had been thinking about all night.

It's gonna get to your heart

TBC…

Yup, it's a TBC! If you don't know what that means, it means To Be Continued! Well review and I'll put up a new one! Thanx! Niki
