CONFESSIONS OF A BACK UP DANCER KAGOME STYLE

"Well? How do I look?"

"Awesome!" I squealed back at Sango.

"Good! And you look great too! You'll be the 'F-T-I-T-R!' " Sango replied.

"But i'm not too sure about the dress...the what?" I said unsurely, pulling down at the dress.

"The Finest Thing In The Room! And don't be stupid. Inuyasha totally GAWKED at you in the mall!"

"WHAT?! I mean...I don't care what HE thinks! You know I like Hojo!"

"HA! And I have a crush on Miroku, nice try!"

"But Sango...you DO have a crush on him..."

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

HONK!

"OHMYGODTHEY'REHERE!" we squealed together.

"Okay, stay calm. Aren't you excited?!" Sango asked, still squealing.

"Oh, yea. I'm bursting with fruit flavour," I said OVER-enthusiastically. But I guess Sango didn't really catch it.

"Okay, you exit the house first," Sango said.

"As if! I have to lock up my house anyways!" I said shoving her out of my house.

"Holy shit..." Miroku said slowly, starring a little too hard at Sango.

She was wearing what they bought at the mall with baby - blue flats (since she's already kinda tall) and her hair was scrunched and shiny. She had on blue eye shadow, black eye-liner, and fake eye-lashes.

"Hey," Sango said as she approached the car.

"Hey, you look...hot! With a capital 'H' and two 't's!

"Ah..."

"Take it as a complim...." Inuyasha started. He seemed to be distracted by something (or someone) else. Sango and Miroku looked towards the house where Inuyasha was staring.

I was standing there in my 'towel' dress and jewel-encrusted heels. My hair was parted on the right side and it was straight, except for some of the top layer, which were in big loose ringlets, which were very bouncy. I had on hot-pink eye shadow with sparkles, black -eye-liner, and I also had on some fake eyelashes, and my blush made my cheek bones look very distinguished. No wonder he was staring at me! I mean...what?

"Hey guys!" I semi-yelled. "How do I loo...AHHHH!"

OMG.OMG.OMG.OMG.OMG! I did NOT just fall! I lifted my head to see Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha staring at me wide-eyed. Could I be an even bigger FREAK?!

"You 'looked' flawless, up until the part where you fell flat on your face," Inuyasha said trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Thanks..." I said brushing off the little dust on my dress. Oh no. I hope I'm not blushing! You KNOW how I get when I blush!

Sango and I climbed into Miroku's car and we were off.

"Man, I'm so nervous! I hope Hojo likes my outfit!"

"Don't worry! He's gonna love it!" Sango reassured me.

"Yeah, and even if he doesn't, he'll be so drunk that he'll think you're hot anyways!" Inuyasha mindlessly said.

"INUYASHA!" Miroku scolded him.

"No, he's probably right..." I said starring out the back seat window.

Inuyasha ever-so-slightly glanced back at me. "Kagome, you know I'm joking. You look really good tonight."

WHY. Why did he have to say that?! Now my cheeks were pink x infinity! (xtimes)

"Whatever..." I said getting out of the car once it came to a stop.

We didn't go into The Riot right away, we stood a while, wanting to arrive fashionably late.

"NOW can we go inside?!" I shivered. "It's so cold, and I don't think frost bite is a really good look for me."

Inuyasha laughed, putting his arm around me and dragging me into the big building. "Yeah, why not."

Miroku, following Inuyasha's foot-steps, put HIS arm around Sango.

"Ahem, WHAT do you think you're doing?" Sango said putting her arm around his waist.

"Who? Me?!" Miroku answered looking behind him. Sango laughed and just enjoyed the moment, I mean....what?

IN THE RIOT LOBBY...

The lobby was a small room, used just for admission and a place to keep your belongings safe.

"I've got admission," Inuyasha said.

"Well I'll go put your jacket away then," I offered as he took his jacket off and handed it to me.

Our hands touched for only a few seconds, but it felt like time stood still jsut then. I guess I gaped out for a few seconds, because Inuyasha lifted my chin with his fingers and looked into my eyes,(God, I hope I'm not drooling!) his eyes were so soft. Then all of a sudden.....some asshole just knocked into me, almost sending me flying of my feet, but since Inuyasha and I were in such close range, he wrapped his arms around me, as if protecting me, my hands on his chest.

"Kagome, are you alright?" he asked looking down into my eyes. All I could do was knod my head. "Watch where the hell you're going!" he shouted at whoever had bumped into me. And, since there IS such thing as 'cruel irony', Kikyo turned around. I turned to look at her.

"Disease in a box...how quaint," I said, looking disgusted.

"I didn't come here to be insulted!" she hissed.

"Oh, that's right!" Miroku said, showing up with Sango's hand in his hand! (I HAD to gap at that!). "You came to TRY and come between Kagome and Inuyasha!" At that comment we pushed away from each other and Inuyasha went to pay admission and put his own jacket away.

"Yea, right," Kikyo snorted, looking at Kagome's dress. "By the way, I LOVE your dress!" she said truthfully. Inuyasha walked back just in time to here this.

"Thanks! I love your dress too! I use to have one just like it...when it was in style..." and with that I stalked past her, Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango trailing me, laughing their heads off.
