Chapter8

Kagome woke up that morning with alert, excited eyes.

"I'm going to the prom tonight! I'm going to the prom tonight!" She chanted as she danced around her room. "I'd better get ready!"

Meanwhile on InuYasha's front porch...

"I can't believe that Fluffy treated me like a dog and made me sleep outside. Oh well." InuYasha sat up. "I think I have to do something tonight but I forgot... ACK! I NEARLY FORGOT THAT TONIGHT WAS THE PROM!" InuYasha realized as he ran inside.

'Wait the door was open the entire time?' InuYasha thought as he took a look at the door. "What an I doing staring at the door for? I didn't even get a tuxedo!"

Later that night...

Kagome did the finishing touches to her hair as her grandfather walked into the room.

"Kagome. You should take this hair pin made from the scales of a mermaid." he said as he handed Kagome a cheap looking pin.

"Here Buyo!" Kagome called as she handed the s called "antique" to her pet cat.

"No don't do that! Come back here!" Kagome's grandfather called as he chased after Buyo.

Kagome looked into the mirror. Her heart felt like it was beating faster and slower at the same time. She put her hand over her chest.

'Im so nervous! It's not like I cant dance or anything. I just-'

Kagome's brother entered her room before Kagome could finish her thought.

"Mama wants to talk to you downstairs." Sota said plainly as he closed the door behind him.

Kagome walked downstairs and slowly found her mother.

"Kagome. When is InuYasha picking you up? It's 7:30 already and the prom starts at 8."

"It's 8 already! I gotta go!" Kagome called as she ran in her high heels. (Imagine that! Running in high heels!)

"Don't do anything you'll regret!" Kagome's grandfather yelled behind her.

"She knows what she's doing father." Mama nodded as she watched Kagome run in the direction of the school.

Kagome's run quickly became a walk as she caught up to Sango.

"You sure seem excited." Sango remarked as she smiled at Kagome.

"Is it that obvious?" Kagome asked as she lay her ahnd on her cheek so Sango couldn't see her blush.

Sango just continued to smile as they reached the school.

"Come on Kagome! We don't want to be too late!" Sango said as she walked as fast as she could in her high heels.

"Wait! Hang on! These are hard enough to stand in than walk alone!"

Kagome sat down at an available seat as they reached the gym. She watched the clock as it struck 9:00.

'Where could InuYasha be?' Kagome thought to her self as the DJ began playing slow songs.

"Um excuse me Kagome?" Hojo asked as Kagome looked up. "I was wondering, since you haven't danced yet. Would you like to dance?"

'Well I'd like to dance at least once tonight.' Kagome thought. "Sure Hojo."

Kagome said as she took Hojo's hand that was stretched out in front of her.

Meanwhile wherever InuYasha is at the moment...(My god he's late!)

InuYasha just reached the schools gymnasium. He pushed aside the double doors.

"Sorry I'm late Kagome! Fluffy just..." InuYasha stopped in the middle of his statement. There he saw Kagome leaning her head on Hojo's shoulder. All heads turned to look at InuYasha and his shocked and angry expression.

Kagome turned her head to look at InuYasha, her expression just as shocked as his.

"InuYasha its not what it looks like!" Kagome said as she pulled away from Hojo. But InuYasha wouldn't hear of it. He ran out of the gymnasium with Kagome following closely behind him.
