.- .- .- .- Chapter 5: Masquerade Ball
'I just made out with Kagome, and I liked it.'
Inuyasha's father's party was exactly a week from the day Kagome and Inuyasha made out. Kagome avoided Inuyasha a lot since that day and well, of course nobody found that strange.
Today was Friday, a day before the Masquerade ball.
Kagome was sitting at the cafeteria at lunch when her phone rang.
She saw it was Inuyasha's number and she picked up.
"Hello?" She said quietly.
"Sweetheart?"
"Yea it's me." Kagome mumbled.
"Yea uh, meet me at where we usually meet." And he hung up.
Kagome knew instantly that it was Memorial Park. She threw away her food and bade farewell to her friends before jogging to Memorial Park. There she saw Inuyasha's car parked there. She got in and faced him.
"We need to talk about… last week. We've been avoiding each other like shit then and well personally I don't like avoiding my best friend." He murmured.
Kagome sighed uncomfortably as she shifted in her seat. "Me too." She muttered.
"So, can we just call it… a one time deal?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome looked at him and finally let out a deep breath. "Alright, it was a one time deal. Just a friendly kiss between two best friends."
Inuyasha put a hand on Kagome's cheek. "Friendly? Kagome that was heated."
"Ok we both lost control, it'll never happen again."
Inuyasha scrunched up his eyebrows. "Never? I can't promise that Sweetheart. Why don't we just do friendly lip kisses? Who knows if I can control my urges."
Kagome smiled at Inuyasha's plea. "Alright then Yashie. Friendly kisses only. Remember you're dating Kikyo."
Inuyasha nodded as he slightly leaned forward. "I know, but sometimes I wish I weren't. Sweetheart come online tonight and let's talk. I have to take Kikyo out to eat now so we can't talk."
Kagome nodded as she turned to get out of the car. However Inuyasha grabbed her wrist, made her turn around and lightly brushed his lips over hers. "Friendly," He muttered as Kagome pecked his cheek.
"Later!"
"Ja Sweetheart." Inuyasha whispered as he took off towards the school.
Kagome blushed fervently as she walked back. 'Friendly kisses? ON THE LIPS? God knows if I can control my feelings for him.'
That day went by pretty quickly for Kagome that is. First forgiving Inuyasha, then finding out he wants friendly lip kisses and finally, tomorrow is the masquerade.
Kagome had her dress in her closet as she started walking home with Sango and Miroku beside her.
"Kags, aren't you gonna go home with your best friend?" Miroku asked.
Both Sango and Miroku know that Kagome has a best friend but who he is they have no idea.
Kagome shook her head. "Naw, he's going home with his girlfriend."
Miroku raised a brow. "Seriously?"
Kagome nodded. "So what? I haven't walked home with you guys since he's learned to drive."
Sango grinned as she wrapped an arm around Kagome's shoulder. "So true. Anyways, I'm online tonight. What about you Roku?"
Miroku nodded. "Not like I have anything better to do."
"Kags, are you and your friend gonna be on?" Sango asked.
"Yea, Just go into Shikon Chat Room."
Kagome created a personal chat room called the Shikon room where only four people know the password. Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha and Kagome. However, Inuyasha created another chat room that the password was only given to himself and Kagome called the Feudal Japan room.
Kagome would be logged on to both.
"When are you logging on Kags?" Sango asked.
"Around 7. I wanna finish my homework since I'm busy all weekend."
The others nodded as they rounded by the Shrine. "Later!" Kagome waved as she ran up the steps.
She walked into the shrine to find a note pinned to the wall.
'KagomeI've got overtime at work today so I won't be home until 9 tonight. Souta's going to be at Sango's house with Kohaku right after school since Sango's father (Kazuko) has agreed to look after him. Finish your homework and do the laundry for me? Thanks.
Love,
Mama'
Kagome grinned.
"Entire house to myself? Boo yea!" Kagome squealed as she hurriedly dumped the laundry cloths in the machine. She took out her homework books and finished them in half an hour. By then the clothes were all laundered. She hung up outside to dry as she ran back in to find her Inuyasha had logged onto Feudal Japan room.

'That was interesting.' Kagome thought as she went to bring her clothes back in.
"An entire CD? IS HE INSANE?" Kagome screamed as she folded all the laundry.
"That only took us, 45 minutes to talk?" Kagome raised a brow as she took out the dress Rin and Inuyasha bought.
"This is beautiful." She breathed as she touched the rose patterns. "Totally sexy. Anyways, friendly kisses… wonder what got into him." She murmured as she put the clothes back into the closet. Since it was near 6pm now, Kagome thought she'd take her shower, since tonight was Friday night and all and she had the entire house to herself.
She took a near hour bath. She got out and rubbed relaxation oils on her body. She put on her facemask and everything and tied her hair in a bun. She didn't feel like putting on her clothes so she kept on her towel and went back to her computer. She would put on her pj's later. She then logged onto Shikon chat room.
Priestess of Darkness has just logged in.
'Hmm, nobody's on.' Kagome thought as she saw the computer watch reading 7:07.
She shrugged as she got up and walked to her closet. She frowned as her shoes toppled out from the top and some of her clothes too.
'Gotta reorganize this stuff.' She thought as she started putting the shoes on the bottom of the closet. Suddenly a ringing sound caught her attention. She whipped her gaze in time to see, Stupid hentai! login.
"Sango's on!" She grinned as she walked back, adjusting her towel.
Stupid hentai: hey kags!

SOMEBODY BEAR ME A CHILD! PLEASE! has just logged off.
'This has been a long day,' Kagome thought as she took off her towel, put on some clothes and went to greet Souta.
.- Next morning -.
Kagome woke up at around 12:30 and totally freaked. Korari had gone to work that morning and Souta was playing games.
"SOUTA! IT'S UNCLE INU'S BIRTHDAY TODAY! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP!"
Souta groaned. "Does it look like I remember when Uncle Inutaisho's birthday is? Sides I wasn't invited remember?"
"Oh yea, you're hated! Souta, warm up my curling iron!"
Souta sighed as he went to plug in his sisters curling iron as she jumped into the bath. After an hour bath Kagome walked out with a towel wrapped around her. She blow dried her hair and curled it, which took around an hour and a half. So at around 2pm, Kagome had her hair finished with. She sprayed hair spray on it to make it stay.
She then walked to her bedroom and shut the door, letting the towel drop. She put on her under garments and her pantyhose. Then she put on the black dress Inuyasha gave her. She adjusted it and made it looked very pretty, she then pulled her hair out from behind the dress and made it bounce prettily around her dress.
She smiled happy with what her body averagely looks like. Then she took out the red nail polish and put it on her fingers. She put on the first layer, waited for a few minutes before applying the second coat. After the second coat dried she put on the shiner. Within 10 minutes her nails were done and prettified.
At around 2:30, Kagome's dress was on and she had her nails done. She took out lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, blush, foundation, everything. It took her another half an hour to put on her make up. She put on a thin line of eyeliner overtop her layer of foundation. Then she put on light pink eye shadow. She put on sexy red lipstick and used a dark brown lip pencil to out line her lips.
She put on a black and white diamond simple chain with long dangling earrings. On her fingers were rings. Her right hand had 3, one on index, other on middle and lastly on pinky. Her left had two, one on pinky and last on index. She had a thin gold chain bracelet on her left wrist.
To top it off she had a thin silver anklet hanging from her left foot, over her pantyhose. For shoes, she wore her mothers' party black shoes.
Kagome walked down in her entire clothing at 4:22 exact to see her brother watching T.V.
"Did you take a shower Souta?" She asked.
Souta nodded. "Ate breakfast too. Whoa nee-chan… you look different."
Kagome giggled. "Gee thanks Souta. Anyways… Yashie's coming soon, if you need anything call Sango alright?"
"Sure."
"So Souta," Kagome said sitting down, "How's Kim?" She asked, naming Souta's girlfriend.
Hitomi Kim Hiro was Souta's girlfriend. Her first name was Hitomi but she really didn't like that name so she goes with her middle name, Kim.
"She's cool,"
At around 4:42, Inuyasha… erm more like Jaken knocked on the door.
Kagome opened it to see him. "Hi. Uh, wasn't Yashie expected to pick me up at 5?"
Jaken nodded. "Yes Kagome-sama. However Master Inutaisho wanted Sir Souta to be in the masquerade as well. I have clothing and the mask."
Kagome smiled. "They really didn't have to send the tuxedo. Souta had one."
Jaken shrugged. "As the master wishes."
Kagome turned around. "SOUTA!"
Souta came rushing towards his sister.
(If only my baby brother was that obedient. Hurmph)
"Yea?"
"You're coming. Wear the tux Uncle Inutaisho sent you and put on the mask." Kagome said as she had the mask tucked neatly in her purse. She had a small neat black purse which was big enough to fit her cell phone, her credit cards and of course her mask.
Souta nodded rushed into the bathroom, put on the tuxedo and walked back out with a large, blood red mask adorning his face.
"Cute," Kagome said as they walked out of the shrine. Kagome shut the bamboo door and put a lock on it. Then followed Jaken to the limo. It was still early so nobody was coming to the Shrine now. Jaken opened the door and Kagome and Souta slid right in to find Inuyasha and of course.
"Yo Yashie!" Kagome squealed.
"Hi Yasha." Souta nodded.
"Hey you two. My oh my, Kagome you are look fine."
"Shut up pervert." Kagome glared at him.
"See that Souta. I'm now more of a hentai then Miroku."
Souta shook his head. "Nobody can beat Roku."
Inuyasha laughed as the rest of the ride went by quietly.
.- Takahashi residence -.
The party began at 5, and Inuyasha, Souta and Kagome arrived at 5:15. Inuyasha would obviously claim Kagome as his Sweetheart since the masques don't come off during the duration of the party.
Souta would use his usual excuse. His father worked for Inutaisho but quit after moving away to Egypt. Inutaisho sent invites to them and Souta came. However Souta was NOT to reveal his real name, not like he didn't know.
As soon as Souta, Kagome and Inuyasha entered, faces whipped in their direction.
"Is it so much of a surprise that I picked dad's guest and my Sweetheart up?" Inuyasha called.
Instantly, daughters of family friends rushed over to Kagome.
"Are you really his sweetheart? Can you take of the mask? Can you hint us of who you are? How is it like having Inuyasha, teen singer to be your best friend? Do you get special treatment? How is it like singing with THE Takahashi Inuyasha?…" And hundred more questions poured at Kagome.
She sent a helpless glance towards both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, who, with Takahashi experience, warded off the girls.
"Thanks," Kagome murmured.
The dancing finally began.
Kagome and Inuyasha were obviously dancing first.
"Do you think Uncle will get us to sing something?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha shook his head. "No. Dad knows we don't to slow songs."
Kagome giggled. "Of course."
Finally it was changing partners. Five million (exaggeration) came up to Kagome to ask her to dance as did Inuyasha. They managed to live through the entire changing partners dance until finally, Inuyasha asked Kagome again.
"Think you can live through the entire evening?" He asked her.
Kagome nodded but then pointed to Souta. "But I think he'll do better."
Inuyasha chuckled as girls swooned over Souta. "You think Kim'll get mad?" Inuyasha asked.
"She won't figure it out," Kagome winked.
"Cheeky." Inuyasha laughed as they continued to dance.
And for the rest of the evening, Kagome was content to know that Inuyasha's attention was on her… and only her.
Enjoyed it? More like a fun chapter but the Naraku/Kikyo torturing Kagome/Inuyasha is soon coming up…
Stay tuned!
