Chapter 10:
The party was huge! There was a dance floor that lit up like a disco room, a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, tables with people waiting on them, music blasting, causing Inuyasha to hold his ears down because it was hurting his ears, people were dancing everywhere he looked, and he felt like he was going to blinded by the amount of lights he saw in the room. He couldn't believe antyhing could be so bright and loud. Then he took a sniff and smelt the delicious food that was being served here.
Suddenly someone screamed "WATERMELON CRAWL!" and everyone looked to see two boys in cowboy hats with southern accents.
"Hey guys!" Erie greeted the two. "I finally get to meet you! This is so cool. But what was that about the Watermelon Crawl?"
The two looked like they were twins. Both wore cowboy hats, but one wore a black one, and the other wore a white one. They both wore blue demin collared shirts and jeans along with boots. They had light brown hair and blue eyes, and a bright smile as they smiled at Erie, almost making her melt.
"You've never heard of the Watermelon Crawl?" The one in the white hatasked.
"No." Erie replied. Then the one grabbed her and started dancing as music started playing.
"I'm Devin." He said, figuring she didn't know whiuch was which, even though she was their pen pal. "And that Eric. Nice to finally meet you. Now the Waltermelon Crawl."
Devin:
I was driving thru Georgia in late July
On a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red
Rind County Watermelon Festival Ahead
Eric:
Well, I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down
Took a two lane road to a one horse town
There was a party going on when I got there
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor
Eric and Devin:
He said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Then Eric saw Kagome and grabbed her before he started dancing with her. "Hi. I'm Eric, and you are?"
"Kagome Higurashi." Kagome replied as she danced with him, forgetting Inuyasha was with her completely. Eric spun her around and kept dancing as he sang.
Eric:
When the band started playing the watermelon queen said
Let me show you something that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm said come on let's go
She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed
Devin:
She rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said this is how you do the watermelon crawl
Eric and Devin:
She said we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
Devin:
Well if you're ever down in Georgia round about July
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
Eric:
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball
Learning how to do the watermelon crawl
Eric and Devin:
Well we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine
Help yourself to some but obey the law
If you drink don't drive do the watermelon crawl
"Watermelon crawl?" Someone asked. "Where do you come from?"
"Well." Both guys said, looking thoughtful before starting to sing, both of them dancing with Kagome and Erie again.
Eric:
I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey Turnpike
When Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol' truck
I don't know about that accent son
Just where do you come from
Eric and Devin:
I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Devin:
Well I was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin'
Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me
How'd I like my biscuit
I'll be honest with you ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it
Eric and Devin:
'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
"So, you got a boyfriend or anything?" Eric asked Kagome.
"No." Kagome said, still forgetting about Inuyasha, which she really didn't have a boyfriend. Her and Inuyash still fought, hadn't confessed their lkove, and haven't kissed or anything. Besides, who, other than Kikyo, would want to be in a relationship with a selfish, immature guy like Inuyasha?
"So, would you like to go out sometime?" Eric asked.
"Sorry, I umm...can't." Kagome replied.
Then Eric contined his song,sonce his line was come up.
Eric:
I was chasin' sun on 101
Somewhere around Ventura
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said no thanks ma'am, back home
We like the girls that sing soprano
Eric and Devin:
'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Devin:
Well I was headed home on 65
Somewhere around Kentucky
The CB rang for a bobtail rig
That's rollin' on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
No, but you might have seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa
Eric and Devin:
Where I come from it's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Eric was ready to keep dancing, so he turned bakck to Kagome after giving his brother a high five, but she was already gone and trying to calm Inuyasha down, which made Eric smile. So, she's got a friend. Eric thought.
"Inuyasha, it was just a dance. Don't worry." Kagome tried to calm Inuyasha down.
"Did you see the way he was looking at you? He didn't want to just dance Kagome!" Inuyasha replied. Then music started to play, maybe he could win Kagome over while dancing. "Let's dance." He said as he pulled Kagome out on the dance floor, thanking God that it was a slow song, 'Be' by Jessica Simpson.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, a bit confused. She figured she was going to have to force Inuyasha out onto the dance floor. But here he was pulling her onto the dance floor. Then Inuyasha started to turn her, making her a bit nervous. Was this really her Inuyasha? The same Inuyasha she always fought with? It was like he transfoermed into some sort of prince right now. She looked at him, his expression was soft, not angry like it usually was. He was also smiling. Who was this person and what had they done with her Inuyasha?
"You OK Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Umm... Yeah. Let's keep dancing." Kagome said as she went with it as Inuyasha took her hand and put his other hand around her waist. Kagome looked at him. His mom must have taught him how to dance really well. Even a crowd was gathering to watch them twirl around the dance floor. She felt like a ballerina, dancing in front of an audience with her partner, or a princess, dancing with her prince charming. Ha! Inuyasha was hardly a prince charming. But he was sure acting like it now.
Then Inuyasha spun Kagome around and dipped her head down. Her grip on him tightened. Inuyasha smiled at her, their faces only centimeters apart. "It's OK. I won't drop you." Inuyasha said. Then the song changed to 'Sweetest Sin' by Jessica Simpson, as if the DJ was reading Kagome's mind. Then Inuyasha's face started to move closer to hers. Kagome closed her eyes. This is it. She thought. She had been waiting for Inuyasha to do this for so long. Then she felt his lips touch hers ever so softly. She didn't think his lip would be so soft, there not being chapstick or anything in the feudal era, but they were so soft. His kiss tasted like chocolate. When had he had chocolate? She wondered. Then Inuyasha pulled away and pulled Kagome up straight. "Sorry." He apologized.
Kagome's face red as red as a ruby. She couldn't help blushing. It was her first kiss ever. And it had been a kiss from Inuyasha! She couldn't believe it! "I-it's OK. Don't worry about it." Kagome said. "Ummm... You want to keep dancing?" She asked before a fast song came on.
"I umm... can't dance to this music." Inuyasha said.
"It's OK. We can get something to eat." Kagome said, not feeling like teaching Inuyasha how to grind to anything like hip-hop at the moment.
