Chapter 12:
"Hey Kagome!" Eric exclaimed as he walked over to the new couple. He smiled at Kagome, ignoring Inuyasha. "I was wondering if you wanted to dance again."
"Sure." Kagome replied, then she looked at Inuyasha. "You don't mind, do you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. But she got her answer when Inuyasha's grip around her waist tightened and she heard him growling. "Come on Inuyasha. Just one dance and I'll be right back."
"Fine." Inuyasha said, trying to keep his cool as he stepped back from Kagome, allowing Eric to take over with the dancing. Then a fast song came on as Inuyasha headed back to the table. He sat down next to Ayumi and Erie.
"That was nice of you Inuyasha." Ayumi said.
"Yeah. You don't seem as jealous and possessive and Kagome made you out to be. But then again, she was pretty pissed at you whenever she talked about you." Erie said.
"Hey Kagome?" Eric asked as they danced together.
"Yeah?" Kagome replied.
"Are you sure you wouldn't want to go out with me sometime?" He pressed.
"Sorry Eric, but I'm with Inuyasha now. I'll be more than happy just to hang out with friends and you and all, but I can't date you." Kagome told him before she pulled away, figuring that leaving Eric alone was probably the smartest thing to do. But then he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him. "Get off me." She growled.
"Sorry. But you said you'd dance with me. Now how 'bout dancing out the door with me?" He asked, not really waiting for an answer before he started to pull Kagome towads the door of the club.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, praying that Inuyasha could hear her over the blaring music.
Inuyasha continued to sit at the table, listening to Erie and Ayumi talk about everything Kagome had said about him. Then he heard it. Kagome screaming. He jumped up and dashed through the crowds, looking for Kagome. He couldn't smell her, thanks to all the other people around and the smells of the food and drinks. So he continued to look. Then he saw a door open and close before hearing another scream from Kagome. He ran tot he door and burst through it to see Eric pulling Kagome away fromthe club.
"Hey! Get off her!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Aww. The boyfriend's here to ruin the fun Kagome." Eric laughed.
"I said, get off her." Inuyasha growled.
"And what if I don't?" Eric asked.
Inuyasha cracked his knuckles, getting ready to rip Eric apart. Then he leaped at him and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his arms and pulled her away from Eric.
Eric sat up. "Jeez! I as just joking. I only wanted to show her something. I didn't think that you would be so violent!" Eric yelled.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"Down the hall. I think there's something you both will like." Eric said as he pointed behind him.
Inuyasha and Kagome slowly walked down the hall behind Eric, Inuyasha keeping an eye on Eric until they were out of reach. Then he kept listening for any footsteps behind them. They continued to slowly walk down the hallway until Kagome stopped.
"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"I sense a jewel shard." Kagome said before she took off and ran down the hall, Inuyasha close behind her until they reached the end and Kagome could see something glowing. She picked it up and found that it was a shard of the jewel.
"Wow. Who knew that there would be some shards in my era?" Kagome asked.
"How did that guy know we were looking for it?" Inuyasha asked. Then they looked at each other for a minute, as if reading each other's minds. "You don't think him and his brother are...?"
There was a pause.
"Nah!" They both exclaimed at once. Then they looked at the jewel shard and Kagome put it in her pocket.
"Sorry I decided to dance with him and leave you hanging. I wouldn't have come with him even if he didn't force me." Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. She coul here the music from the club loud and clear. She went to kiss him, but he pulled away.
"We better get back to the party." Inuyasha said as he pulled away from Kagome and startedto walk down the hall.
"Wait." Kagome said as she grabbed Inuyasha's arm. He looked back at her.
"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he turned around and faced Kagome, looking into her eyes.
"I just wanted to tell you something while we were here, alone." Kagome said. Then she began to sing.
I must be crazy now
Maybe I dream too much
But when I think of you
I long to feel your touch
To whisper in your ear
Words that are old as time
Words only you would hear
If only you were mine
I wish I could go back to the very first day I saw you
Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes
'Cause by now I know that you'd feel the way that I do
And I'd whisper these words as you'd lie here by my side
I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time
So today, I finally find the courage deep inside
Just to walk right up to your door
But my body can't move when I finally get to it
Just like a thousand times before
Then without a word he handed me this letter
Read I hope this finds the way into your heart, it said
I love you, please say
You love me too, these three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Till the end of time
Well maybe I, I need a little love yeah
And maybe I, I need a little care
And maybe I, maybe you, maybe you, maybe you
Oh you need somebody just to hold you
If you do, just reach out and I'll be there
I love you, please say
You love me too
Please say you love me too
Till the end of time
These three words
They could change our lives forever
And I promise you that we will always be together
Inuyasha smiled. "Did I already tell you that I love you?" He asked, his forehead touching Kagome's.
"I wanted to return the favor." Kagome told him wth a smile.
Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and smiled as he held it gently, as if it would break if he held it too tightly.
"You don't need to return any favors. All you need to do, is stay by my side, and I'll know." Inuyasha told her.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Had he really said that? Why was he so different now? But Kagome sooned pushed the thought to the back of her mind and smiled. She might as well enjoy it since she probably won't have him acting like this for a while after this. And then the coupe ran back out to the dance floor and danced the night away together, ignoring all the stares they were getting and anyone else who asked to dance, sharing their time with eachh other here while it lasted.
In the Feudal Era...
"Inuyasha's been gone for a while." Sango stated. "Do you think they're alright Miroku?"
"I know they're alright. If anything happens, you know Inuyasha will come back pouting." Miroku said as he layed down in the grass next to Sango. Then she layed he head dwn on his chest as she let him play with her hair.
"Miroku?" Sango asked.
"What is it Sango?" Miroku asked her. Then Sango sat up and looked into Miroku's eyes before she started to sing.
Forgive me for the things
That I never said to you
Forgive me for not knowing
The right words to say, to prove
Then Sango stood, pulling Miroku up with her and holding his hands as she looked him in the eyes.
That I will always be
Devoted to you and me
And if you can't feel that in my love
Then I'm sorry for not giving you enough
But I'm not sorry for my love
I'm not sorry for my touch
The way it made your hands
Tremble and my heart rush
I would do it all again
Wouldn't take back a thing, no
'Cause with you I've lived
A thousand lives in one
And I could never be
I could never be
Sorry for love
Well, maybe there've been times
That I let you down
Looking back on all those moments
I know that I should have found
Love is to be for you
And now I will promise to you
And if you don't see that in my eyes
Then I'll be
Sorry for the rest of my life
But I'm not sorry for my love
I'm not sorry for my touch
The way it made your hands
Tremble and my heart rush
I would do it all again
Wouldn't take back a thing, no
Cause with you I've lived
A thousand lives in one
But I could never be
I could never be
Sorry for love
Aren't we all make mistakes
No matter how hard we try
But hearts can't only break
When sorry comes all around
OOh, when sorry comes around
I'm not sorry...
For my love
For my touch
I would do it all again
I wouldn't take back my love
Because with you I've lived
A thousand lives into one
But I could never be
I could never be
I could never be
I could never be
Sorry for love
"I'm so glad we finally fessed up to each other." Sango said as she stood and Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Then he pulled her down and leaned against a tree, letting her sit on his lap.
"Me too Sango. Me too..." Miroku replied as the couple looked up at the night sky, watching the stars twinkle above them in the night before tey soon fell into a slumber in each other's arms.
AN- Yeah, I figured that I should add a little Miroku/Sango in there since they've bascially been ignored for the past few chapters, and the song that Kagome sang, I don't think it went in right, but I couldn't think of anything else to use. Oh! Not much updating after this 'cause I'm tryin out for a school play! Wish me luck! Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
