Chapter 13: Date for the Festival


Kagome turned around and her eyes widened. "Naraku."

"Hello Sweetheart." Naraku said in that painfully disgusting voice.

"Ugh! Get away from me." Kagome said as she tried to shove Naraku. Naraku however grabbed her closer and pressed his lips tightly against hers. Kagome went rigid and kept her mouth tight and shut.

'He kisses nothing like Inuyasha.' Kagome thought as he shoved his tongue into her mouth. Kagome bit his tongue and he growled and pulled back.

"Bitch." He growled as he tightened his grip on her arm.

"What do you want?" Kagome said as she tried to move. They were behind some bushes so nobody would be able to see them.

"Many things, one that you do what I wanted to do oh so many years ago."

"Hell no!"

"Fair enough, then you must be my date at the Winter Festival and you of course are singing am I not told?"

"How do you know these things?" Kagome groaned.

"I have my ways. Now, you are going to the Winter Festival with me and you are singing Carol of the Bells in your best Sweetheart voice or else your cover is blown."

"SAY WHAT?"

"All I'm asking for is a date Kagome."

"And if I refuse?"

"Then I guess the world would enjoy knowing that Kikyo's look-a-like is Sweetheart."

"We look nothing alike." Kagome muttered. She knew her mother doesn't want the publicity so she had to go with this. Besides, how bad will it be? Spend the entire evening with a freakish baboon man and sing… not so bad right?

"Fine then Naraku, I'll go."

"Great, now we go dress shopping tomorrow night."

"No, I go dress shopping with Sango, you pick me up at 7." Kagome said as she shoved Naraku.

"Fair enough." He said as he walked away. Kagome moaned as she sank to her knees and spat. "Ew he kissed me!" She wasn't all that scared of Naraku taking her out to the Winter Festival dance, after all, her four protectors… ok Hojo doesn't count, her three protectors, Inuyasha, Miroku and Kouga will be there. Nothing to worry about, right?

Kagome got up and decided to go back. 'I have an hour before class begins.' She thought as she slowly walked back to the school. She walked inside to find Ayame, Kouga, Kikyo, Inuyasha and Shippo all talking. Kikyo was bored and was zoning out but Inuyasha was pretty much into things.

"Hey Kag-chan!" Ayame called. Kagome walked over and sat down beside Kouga and moaned.

"What happened babe?" Kouga asked rubbing Kagome's arms.

"The stupid, ugly, perverted, monstrous, deranged, ill fated, bad breathed, greasy haired Naraku just forced me to the Winter Festival."

Inuyasha stopped breathing and Kouga stopped eating. "He did what?"

"He just comes up to me and he's like go with me to the festival or else." Kagome said looking at Inuyasha. He knew exactly what she meant.

"Then why'd you agree?" Kouga barked.

"Do I want to know the or else part? Do you not watch horror movies? He guy would probably rape me in the janitors' closet if I reject."

Kouga cracked his knuckles. "Then he's getting a whooping. I'm sure Miroku wouldn't mind kicking his ass with me."

Kagome smiled. "Thanks, but I agreed. And besides, after going with Hojo to the Halloween dance, I'm ready for anything."

The table laughed at her good humour but Kikyo got up and left in a huff.

"What's up her ass?" Kagome said.

"Her lip gloss tube." Shippo cracked. Kouga pounded the table in laughter, which caused Kagome and Ayame to inch away.

"So are you two going together?" Kagome asked Ayame and Kouga.

"Yeah, we went to the Halloween together so we're cool. I would have gone with you, but Naraku has just sealed his fate by forcing you." Kouga said kissing Ayame's hand.

Kagome pretend to gasp. "Ayame, get your hands off of my man."

Kouga chuckled. "Damn right Kagome."

"I was kidding wolf man."

"Why does everybody call me wolf man?" Kouga raised a brow.

"You look, act and smell like one." Ayame smiled.

"And what about Inuyasha?" Kouga barked.

"Dog boy." Kagome said.

"Shippo?"

"Kitsune."

"Ayame?"

"Wolf girl."

"Kikyo?"

"Kinky ho." Ayame, Kagome and Shippo all said at once. Kouga sniggered. "I agree tops for that one."

"Oh I gotta go. Miroku and I are meeting early before Calculus." Kagome said. She stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. There was still 50 minutes before break ends and Kagome needed to talk to Inuyasha. She threw his car keys in the air and looked back for a split second to see him nod. She exited through the north gates and him the east gates. They met up at Memorial Park, him taking his car, Kagome by foot.

"HE DID WHAT?" Inuyasha roared as he grabbed Kagome by the shoulder.

"Yeah well, none of this would have happened if you would have not ignored me for the past 2 weeks."

"I've been ignoring Kikyo for the past two months."

"Well she doesn't have some freakishly weird baboon stalking her, threatening her with her identity now does she?" Kagome shrilled. She looked around to see if anybody was there but there was nobody. She rubbed her mouth again and spat.

"What's with all the spitting?" Inuyasha asked raising his brow.

"He forcefully kissed me. Damn he needs a breath mint." Kagome muttered as she drank water from Inuyasha's water bottle. Inuyasha led her to the car and they both got in. Kagome looked out the window but Inuyasha's hand on her thigh caused her to look at him. Just as she did she felt his wet lips pressed against her.

Kagome opened her mouth slightly as he entered. She kept her hands to her sides as he gripped her shoulder. The kiss was short but it was all Kagome needed to get Naraku out of her mouth.

"He kissed you?" Inuyasha asked.

"It was disgusting." Kagome mumbled as she licked her lips.

"I bet it was."

"Well you try kissing Naraku. Now you can go off to your precious Kikyo and I'll be on my way." Kagome said as she was about to exit.

Inuyasha however grabbed her wrist preventing her from doing so. "What's gotten into you?" He asked.

Kagome whipped her gaze back at him. "Me? ME? I don't see myself calling you to try on clothes for my boyfriend, now do I? Or have we forgotten that Higurashi Kagome CAN'T get a boyfriend because her famous singer of a best friend would murder any guy who looks at me. But then again, I should be ecstatic because I'm modeling for my best friend in the dress he wishes to give his girlfriend… now hmm… I'm not really mad now am I?" She barked as she got out of the car and started walking back to the school.

"Aw damn." Inuyasha muttered as he did a U-turn and left, taking out his cell phone and calling Kagome.

"Hey Sweetheart."

"Don't."

"But-"

"No, you just proved how much of a best friend you are." Kagome said as she hung up the phone. She was in no mood right now, Inuyasha acts all happy-go-lucky after asking her to try on a dress for Kikyo, Naraku forces her to go to the Winter Festival with him, Sango and Miroku are catching onto her Sweetheart gig, and today was her turn to drive Kim and Souta to their date, Kim's brother, Koto has studying to do.

Kagome detoured from the inside of the park so Inuyasha wouldn't be able to see her.

'What's wrong with me? I get all mad just because Inuyasha spends time with his girlfriend, what kind of a friend am I?' Kagome thought, she sighed, 'A friend in love.' Her subconscious answered for her.

Kagome walked out to the main street to find Inuyasha gone. She shrugged, not really caring at the moment. What she has to worry about is Naraku… speaking of which… he was walking her way.

"Kagome," He smiled. Kagome nodded as she diverted her gaze to see Inuyasha kissing Kikyo. She shook her head as she walked towards Naraku.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Nothing." She replied scathingly.

"Is it because Inuyasha and Kikyo are kissing?" He asked mockingly.

"No, it's because you have your arm wrapped around my waist." Kagome said trying to push his muscular arm off of her waist.

"Well, if a guy can't put his arm around his girls' waist, what else can he do?" Naraku asked.

"Just shut up and leave me alone." Kagome muttered before walking away just in time to see Inuyasha and Kikyo walk their way.

"Oh, hello Higurashi," Kikyo smiled venomously, "I heard that you're going to Winter with Onigumo." Kagome shot a glare at Inuyasha who avoided her eye contact. Oh how mad she was, today he was supposed to drive her home but he can just rot in hell.

"Yeah, so?" Kagome shrugged walking away. Kikyo caught her wrist and Kagome spun around. "You just did not touch me." Kagome said darkly.

"So what if I d-" her words stopped coming because Kagome slapped her.

"Higurashi!" Inuyasha roared.

"Just shut up." Kagome said as she walked away, with Naraku on her trail.

"Kikyo, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked.

"That stupid little whore! How dare she slap me."

"Still can't believe it bitch?" Kagome's voice echoed.

"Oh how I'm going to make her life a living hell." Kikyo shot.

'Not possible, Kagome has Kouga, Ayame, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Souten and now possibly Naraku on her side.' Inuyasha thought.

'But does she have you?'
