An Unwanted Prize
Chapter Five
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~~+
Friday seemed to come quickly at Tokyo High with little action. Kagome had been signed up by unknown (guess who) sources to participate in some pathetic Christmas play about a Mary and Joseph. And somehow (guess how) she just ended up landing the role of Mary. Coincidently, InuYasha just happened to be Joseph.
Kikyo had been hanging out with the new student, Naraku, and most people considered them a couple, though they denied it.
For Tuesday's Jungle Fever dress up, the juniors ended up winning, as well as Wednesday's Feudal Age Day. The Seniors won Thursday's Mitch-Match Day and today's color wars would break the tie between the seniors and the juniors, yet the after school pep rally would still decide which grade would be riding on the float, which was still yet to be revealed.
Kagome sat in sixth period, next to InuYasha, waiting for the day to just be over. The theme was school spirit, and Kagome wore nothing but Panther's colors. Her face was painted in a panther design and her black and gold shirt had 'Panthers' written across it in silver paint. InuYasha wore his Panthers football jersey, along with the rest of the football players, and baggy, black jeans.
"Students, may I have your attention please?" The principal's voice was heard loud and clear over the speaker. "The winners of school spirit day are the..." he paused, once again doing a very good job of building up anticipation, "...the seniors."
Everyone in the room cheered, but not like last time. They had pretty much gotten used to it and it wasn't really anything new.
"Now, students who plan to attend the pep rally, please head over the football field at this time."
The entire class stood up and packed their things. InuYasha looked over at Kagome and smiled, "See ya later. I'll be sure to nominate you."
Kagome frowned, lifting her book bag over her shoulder, "Nominate me for what?"
InuYasha just smirked and began to walk out, "You'll see."
Kagome just rolled her eyes and walked out. It wasn't long before Kagome found Sango standing in the hall, looking confused as ever. "Sango?"
"Oh! Hi Kagome!" Sango replied, turning around and smiling.
"Something wrong?"
"I'm going to be nominated."
Kagome sweat dropped, "You too?"
They both left the school on followed the rest of the crowd to the football field, chatting away about their double date later in the evening. They took their seats in the stands and waited for the rally to begin.
"So, I figure I'll wear something casual but not something too casual." Sango explained, still thinking of what to wear.
"Yeah, I'll just wear something comfortable and casual. Maybe a tank to..."
Kagome was cut off as InuYasha's voice was heard over the microphone. "Testing...1 2....Testing...alright enough of that. As head captain of the football team, I'd like to show my appreciation to...freak the long speeches, let's get this rally started!"
Kagome and Sango laughed as InuYasha exited the football field and the cheerleaders ran into the middle, showing off their best cheers and trying their hardest to rally up the school.
The head cheerleader, who still happened to be Kikyo, stood in front of the rest. She screamed as loud as she could;
"Attention!"
The other cheerleaders repeated and they began their cheer, screaming and dancing in perfect unison:
"Come on everybody, get out of your seat Move it to the rhythm, it starts with your feet Once you get the rhythm, your hips start to pop Move it to the beat, and you won't want to stop!"
By the end of their show, the students were cheering and stomping their feet. The cheerleaders exited and InuYasha, along with Miroku, reentered the stage. InuYasha grabbed the microphone and spoke into it, "Wasn't that a great show? Yeah. Now, let's thank the students who participated in creating this awesome float we're about to present!"
The students cheered and InuYasha handed the microphone over to Miroku, "Now, let's present this year's float!"
Everyone turned their attention to the giant float that was driving onto the field. The kids went wild at the site of the giant panther with a fly swatter in hand. The opposing team was the Wasps.
InuYasha cleared his throat and began to speak into the microphone once more, "Well, let's just find out who's going to riding on that float shall we?" The crowd screamed back an answer.
The first game was tug-a-war elimination. Sophomores against Freshmen, Juniors against Seniors. In the end, the seniors beat the freshmen in little to no time, earning them their fourth point.
The second game was a relay race against the track stars of each grade. Juniors won, surprising the entire school and earning themselves another point.
Third game turned out to be a gum chewing contest of who could blow the biggest bubble the fastest. Unfortunantly in the end, the juniors won and earned themselves their fourth point, tying them with the seniors.
InuYasha took the stage once more and smiled. "We had a plan if it were to come to this. You see, we have to have the girls from each grade involved in this somehow, and what better way than a wet t-shirt contest?"
Every single guy in the audience cheered and stomped, causing InuYasha to smirk. He looked over to his left and motioned for three juniors and two seniors to join him in the center of the field. Miroku and Koga joined him along, with three eleventh graders. They huddled together, while everyone else in the stands talked among themselves about the upcoming event.
"Alright." InuYasha said, once again gathering everyone's attention, "Each one of the people who stands before you now, have nominated one girl to represent them in the wet t-shirt contest. Representing the juniors, we have Sakura Joiner, Mina Minako, and Hakaru Hariko. And representing the seniors, we have Ayame Whitewolf, Sango Tijiya, and..." InuYasha paused looking up to where Kagome was seated and watching her laughing hysterically at Sango, "...Kagome Higurashi."
Kagome's head snapped to the side and her eyes locked with InuYasha's. Her jaw literally dropped and Sango comforted her with the same hysterical laughing she had received.
Kagome crossed her arms, "There's no way I'm doing that! I'm not standing in front of the whole school wearing nothing but a t-shirt!"
***
"I can't believe I'm standing in front of the whole school wearing nothing but a t-shirt." Kagome muttered to Sango. Each of the six contestants were given the shirts of the football player who had chosen them to wear. Kagome stood before the entire school wearing nothing but InuYasha's football practice t-shirt and her underclothes with Sango by her side wearing Miroku's practice shirt.
They both rolled their eyes as InuYasha laughed into the microphone. "Well, if these ladies aren't a sight for sore eyes, I don't know what is." he paused a moment as the crowd broke into a fit of laughter. "Ok, get the hoses ready!"
Kagome closed her eyes and gulped loudly. She heard InuYasha say go, and she heard the sound of the hoses turn on. And then it hit her. The icy cold water soaked her entire body from head to toe, hitting her like a thousand icicles. And then it was over, just as fast as it had begun.
She opened her eyes and looked down. The wet gray t-shirt clung to her skin tightly and she silently cursed herself for having wore a black bra and panty set.
"Well guys!" InuYasha's voice boomed, "Who's the winners?"
Kagome stood shivering as a breeze blew past, listening to almost every guy, and some girls, vote on which representatives looked the best. Every guy in the crowd cheered and stomped, pointing at either side. They stomped their feet and some boys even started throwing cash onto the field.
Kagome leaned over to Sango, "So now what is this? Hooters?"
In the end, it was worth it, because most of the juniors voted for the senior representatives, bringing victory to the seniors.
~+~+~+~+~
"Kagome! Quick! Hand me the shimmer powder!"
Kagome quickly tossed Sango the small shimmer compact and turned back around to finish fixing her hair. She glanced over at the clock, holding a bobby pin in between her teeth. Five till seven. Five minutes to finish getting ready. Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed. Sango and her had both promised that this was nothing big and nothing to go crazy over. Now look at them, shimmer powder, eyeliner, lipstick, the works!
Sango rushed to Kagome's side and checked herself in the mirror, "Picture perfect."
Kagome smiled and nodded, outside, Kagome heard a car pull up and her and Sango exchanged glances before quickly grabbing their purses and running downstairs just as Sango's younger brother, Kohaku, called for them.
The two practically raced down the stairs but began to walk casually once they had almost reached the bottom. They turned the corner and smiled brightly at the aw-struck boys before them. Kagome sighed, 'Maybe we went a bit heavy on the eyeshadow.'
InuYasha and Miroku's jaws literally dropped. Miroku scanned Sango up and down, her tight dark blue hip huggers and a pink baby t-shirt hugged her naturally curvy and slim body perfectly.
InuYasha, on the other hand, was finding it hard not to drool. He looked Kagome up and down, starting at her tight black v-neck t-shirt which clung tightly to her upper curves, and then down to her dark blue, tight jean skirt and down her long legs. It was then that he swore Kagome's love of skirts would be the death of him.
~+~+~+~+~+~
"You know, you didn't really need to take us out to such a...." Kagome paused, looking around the room as if she'd find the right word to describe the place written somewhere on the wall, "...fancy restuarant."
InuYasha shook his head, "It's fine. You ladies deserve it."
Sango and Kagome blushed and smiled. Sango was about to start up a conversation when she felt a familiar hand feeling on a familiar spot.
"You pervert!" Sango whispered loudly, tossing a butter knife at Miroku, which he easily dodged, but didn't notice the spoon flying toward him, which hit it's target.
InuYasha and Kagome sweat dropped."Miroku," Kagome sighed, "Why are you so perverted?"
Sango nodded, "That is a good question, why ARE you so perverted?"
"Probably a childhood thing." InuYasha answered, "See what computer's teach kids?"
"What makes you think it was a computer?" Kagome asked, "Have you seen what's on television? Have you even seen some of the girls he touches?"
"Yeah," Sango cut in, "He touches every girl in sight almost."
Miroku sighed, listening to them talk about him and his...'issue'. He couldn't get a word in edgewise if he wanted to. "Excuse me you guys." Miroku whispered loudly, finally gaining their attention, "I'm right here! If you're going to talk about me and my 'problem' then do it when I'm not around!"
InuYasha smirked, "Then why don't you turn around so we can talk about you behind your back?"
Miroku rolled his eyes and sighed, watching Kagome and Sango twirl their forks in their spaghetti, "So, I don't suppose you ladies have dates for tomorrows Homecoming Dance, do you?"
Kagome and Sango's heads snapped up, and Kagome managed to stutter out, "N- no, we totally forgot."
InuYasha and Miroku exchanged glances and looked back at their dates, "Well, you wouldn't mind spending another night with us, would you?"
Kagome and Sango smiled, "Of course not. But what time is practice tomorrow?"
"Practice for what?" InuYasha asked, taking a bite of his garlic bread.
"That stupid Christmas play"
"I think it's at one, I'll stop by and pick you up if you want?" InuYasha offered.
Kagome nodded, "When I find out who signed me up for that play, I swear..."
Sango and Miroku quickly put on fake smiles, "Te...he...he..." they laughed, phoniness evident.
Kagome eyed them for a moment. She knew Sango well enough to know when she did something wrong. "It was you two, wasn't it."
"You know," Sango said looking around and finally setting her sights on the small handcrafted fork beside her plate, "isn't this such a lovely fork? Such pretty designs on it."
Kagome clenched her fists before calming down, "That's ok, payback will come when you least expect it."
Sango and Miroku sighed, "Good because we also signed you two up for the spring play!"
"What?!"
The rest of dinner went well, the couple's laughing and joking. Kagome and InuYasha really hit it off, while Sango still had a bit of trouble getting past Miroku's 'issue'.
The couple's said their goodbyes and headed off, Kagome and InuYasha headed for the boardwalk, while Miroku and Sango headed to the park.
~+~+~+~
Kagome and InuYasha walked down the board walk, chatting away about school, friends, and basically anything a normal teenager could talk about. InuYasha looked over to his left and gazed down at the beach below. An idea popped into his head and he smirked.
He grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her along the boardwalk and down the ramp that lead to the beach. "Take your shoes off," he ordered, bending down to take his own off.
Kagome had gotten a pretty good idea of where this was going and obeyed him, bending down and removing her open-toed-sandals, not knowing she was in for a surprise of her own.
The couple walked along the beach for a while, letting their toes squish in the sand. InuYasha would occasionally move closer to the shoreline, until they were walking in ankle deep water. Time to put his plan into action.
"Kagome," he whispered, "Close your eyes."
Kagome's expression changed from happy to completely confused, but she did it anyway. Before she knew it, InuYasha was lifting her up and the next thing she felt was icy cold water surrounding her body. Her eyes shot opened and she came face to face with InuYasha, who was just as soaked as she was from the splash she had created when she was dropped in.
InuYasha reached out a hand and pull her out af the water, "So, how'd you like your surprise?"
Kagome gave him a very long and frightening death glare before she smiled and grabbed his wrist. She pulled him to the shore and sat down on the sandy beach, bringing him down with her.
"Now what?"
"I don't know." Kagome whispered, staring out into the sky, listening to the lullaby that the waves were creating.
InuYasha followed her gaze, and for a long time there was silence. InuYasha finally had some time to think about recent events.
He knew he had seemed a bit...desperate...but he couldn't control it. Something about this girl, this average everyday girl, drew his attention. Made him want to be with her. It was more than just the similarities she shared with Kikyo, it was deeper, as if their fates were already sealed, as if they had been destined to be together.
That was one reason.
Second reason, InuYasha figured, being that he had never been turned down by a girl. The fact that Kagome didn't accept him right away, made him want her even more. Like they say, you always want what you can't have.
"InuYasha?"
Her voice brought him back to reality, dragging him from his thoughts.
"Huh?"
Kagome smiled warmly, "Nothing, you just seemed a little out of it, that's all."
"Why are ya lookin at me like that?"
Kagome giggled, "I was just wondering something about you."
"What?"
"Your hair...why is it silver? And you're eyes...they're gold."
"Yeah? What of it?"
Kagome looked up into his eyes, "It's nice."
InuYasha stared into Kagome's deep brown eyes, becoming lost in their depths, "Kagome?" he asked, much to both of their surprise, "What would you do if I kissed you right now?"
There were a few moments of silence, both heart beats racing.
"Kiss you back." she whispered her reply.
InuYasha smirked and closed the small space between them, and they shared their first kiss...as a couple.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Yeah, that's the end...hehehe....
Phew, that was probably one of the longest chapters I have ever written. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think. remember, the more people who review, the more I want to update!
Check out some of InuYasha'sPrincess17 and silentmiko242 fics. They're really good. And thank them for helping me make this story so great!
And the next chapter is on it's way. It's, like, 35% done, so I'll have that chapter up within the next two weeks. Thanks soooo much!
Thanks!
Later Days!

Check out some of InuYasha'sPrincess17 and silentmiko242 fics. They're really good. And thank them for helping me make this story so great!
And the next chapter is on it's way. It's, like, 35% done, so I'll have that chapter up within the next two weeks. Thanks soooo much!
Thanks!
Later Days!
