Disclaimer: I don't own ROSS. Duh. I'm just using it, so don't sue me! I can't afford to lose this fic.

Kagome was very patient as the month went by. She didn't obsess over the dance or anything, but now that it was the day she couldn't stop thinking about it. Though she knew she couldn't afford a nice dress, she stole 20 dollars and when to ROSS and bought a cute but cheap dress. It looked about a hundred dollars. That was basically the plan.

She put it on and felt her curvy waist. It was taut and cute in her opinion. She brushed her hair until it layered perfectly and certain parts curved outward.

She started to go outside. Maybe inuyasha was already at school or something.

Kagome walked painfully in her highheels all the way to the school. Luckily inuyasha met her at the gate with a friendly smile.

"Hi! Thought you'd never make it." He said walking up to her.

She smiled and they embraced eachother's hands as they went to the theator, where the dance was held. The night was gloomy and dark, but her mood was bright and sunny.

Inuyasha held the door open for Kagome. She smiled at him and winked. His face turned red but he smiled back.

They basically only stood at the punch table, eating all the shrimp and chips. They weren't noticed much. But Kagome was having a good time listening to Inuyasha ramble on. She liked hearing him talk. It was more relaxing than talking herself.

The D.J put on a slow song and the two barely noticed it.

"This goes out to all the couples out there." He said pretending to be cool. "So take her hand, and pull her out to the dance floor." He said it, looking right at them, since everyone else was dancing.

Kagome happily twirled on the dance floor and held out her hand to inuyasha. He took it and they positioned into the proper dancing style and they rocked side to side, gazing into each other's eyes.

They didn't do anything but start pushing their bodies closer to each other until they weren't shy to dance with skill. The slow song ended and Kagome didn't let go of inuyasha, though she knew inuyasha was trying to break free from her embrace.

"Kagome-- what are you-- let go." Inuyasha pulled at her arm and she finally let him go. Though she didn't want to. Her heart jumped, trying to reach out at him. She felt as if it would burst out of her chest any moment.

The D.J put on another slow one, and Kagome quickly started to dance with him once again. Inuyasha saw her eagerness, but he didn't understand what was the rush.

"Kagome you--"

"Just dance." She said-- then inuyasha gasped and let go of her. She backed away with her hand over her mouth. She'd spoken the first time in 2 years.

"You're talking, Kagome." Inuyasha pointed out. "How? I thought..."

"I'm sorry." She said dustily. She wasn't so used to talking. "But... I'm sorry i lied ok? I thought talking was a waste of time cause... There was no one to talk to anyway. Why say anything?"

Inuyasha seemed upset. "All of this time though! Everyone thought you were a mute!" Their small fight blended with the soft song, but they hardly noticed they were around anyone.

She started to cry. "But see my dad left me! And he was my only therapist! I could only talk to him! And when i lost him--"

"That's nice and all, but i really believed you. I felt so bad you couldn't say anything. But i liked you, and i regret that. I hate liars. And that's what you are... And i can't believe i asked you to come to this dance with me. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye." He left the theator leaving her with a river of tears streaming down her cheeks. She started to go after him, but she was suddenly blinded by a gush of warm tears and she sat down and covered her face shamefully.
