((Everyone read the note!!!))
Hey! Thanks to all the wonderful people who reviewed! I decided that I am going to put out messages to the people who reviewed to have questions about my fanfic. Sry! But otherwise I get burnt out and I figured that you guys would rather have a longer chapter than have messages to everyone. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE getting reviews! Please don't stop sending them! They are my motivation!! I'm starting with the reviews on my next chapter because it's late at night and it's really easy for me to get burnt out late at night. Thanks! I love you all!! Oh, and I would love to e-mail everyone who gave me their e-mail addresses but my e-mail is down right now tear so I won't be able to. So don't think that I am ignoring your e-mail address! I'm not!!
Kagome and Sesshoumaru sat lounging across the room from each other, waiting for Sango and Miroku to return to the dorm.
"So," Kagome said enthusiastically, shattering the silence. "Have you heard about the dance coming up this Saturday night?"
Sesshoumaru just stared across the room at her like she had grown another head. 'She couldn't be suggesting…'
They sat silently staring at each other for another minute 'Okay…' Kagome thought scratching her arm, 'I guess I'll take that as a yes.' "I was thinking, if you didn't have plans, that maybe you could go with Sango, Miroku and I."
Sesshoumaru stayed silent, unwilling to answer. Kagome rolled her eyes. "You know, it wouldn't hurt for you to get out and go to one of the school's functions every once and a while. I mean, a lot of people will be there, if you absolutely can't stand us any more you could always ditch us for one of your other stuck up friends." She stated beginning to get aggravated.
That statement brought Sesshoumaru out of his trance. Sitting up to stare directly into Kagome's eyes he let out an irritated growl. "For one thing," he started much more calmly than he felt at the moment. "Me and the other selected few I deem worthy enough to hang around me are not stuck up, we just do not bother with those that are below us, and that just happens to be most of our fellow classmates. Secondly, there are many, many other more important things that call to my attention that I would much rather go to on Saturday." Kagome grunted and rolled her eyes. "Thirdly, are you asking me out on a date to this dance? Because you should have figured out by now that I am in a league so much higher than yours that you couldn't reach even if you could fly."
Kagome stared across at him in shock. "What the hell makes you think that I would even WANT to go to this dance with you as my fucking date asshole?" yelled Kagome losing her control. "I would rather go with Kouga than a stuck up spoiled little brat that thinks he's so much higher that everyone else that he can't see that-" Kagome quickly cut herself off. 'Remember,' said an overly cheery voice in her head. 'Be nice!' Kagome grumbled and pulled herself back together. "Do you want to go to the dance or not?"
Before Sesshoumaru could answer there was a knock at the door. Kagome instantly jumped up from the couch to answer it thinking it was Sango or Miroku. Kagome grasped the cold metal handle and swung the door open, flashing a brilliant smile. It immediately faded upon seeing who was at the receiving end.
"Ah, and what has made my lovely women so happy today?" asked Kouga smoothly leaning up against the doorway so Kagome couldn't close it. "Could it be the sight of her man at her door?"
Kagome let a grunting laugh escape from her lips. "Yeah right Kouga, in your dreams. What the hell do you want?"
Kouga grinned gleefully. "I love it when your feisty." He stated reaching a hand out to touch her face. Kagome quickly smacked it away.
"Tell me what you want Kouga or get the fuck out." She demanded crossing her arms. Kouga only grinned more.
"Actually, I am here to tell you that I will be the one escorting you to the dance this Saturday, and I was wondering what time you wanted to be picked up."
Kagome snorted and put on a fake face of awe and delight. "Well…" she said putting her hands behind her back and making circles on the carpet with her toe. "I'm not saying no…" Kouga looked up at her smugly and backed away from the doorway expecting victory. "I'm saying hell no, and if you ever talk to me again, I'll pound your face in so hard that you will have to go to the emergency room." Her little speech finished Kagome threw the door shut, unfortunately Kouga's legs were too quick and he managed to get a shoe threw the door to stop it from closing.
Kagome felt a since of panic sink into her stomach, she looked around quickly for something to grab to defend herself with.
"And I suppose," said Kouga, his voice shaking in anger. "That you have someone BETTER than me that you are already going with?!" he yelled.
"Actually," said Sesshoumaru calmly appearing behind Kagome and reaching around her to but a hand on the doorway. "She's going with me, so I suppose the answer to your question would be yes."
Kouga looked up at Sesshoumaru in disbelief. "You?" he whispered his voice slowly gaining volume. "You dare take my women to the dance!"
"Get over it Kouga, I'm not your women and never will be." Kagome said coldly. Sesshoumaru grinned despite himself, unwillingly proud of Kagome. Before Kouga could utter another word, Sesshoumaru slammed the door in his face. Kagome let out a fit of laughter hearing Kouga's body connect with the door.
Looking up at Sesshoumaru her heart stopped completely. Kagome didn't want it to but she could feel it as it slowly melted inside her body. There, standing next to her was Sesshoumaru, but instead of his regular icy glare he had always worn before was a gleeful smile. Sesshoumaru looked down at her confused at her sudden change of attitude.
"What's the matter now?" he asked returning to his regular 'ice king' attitude.
Kagome just smiled back up at him. "You just smiled that's all." She said warmly. Sesshoumaru shot a nasty glare back down at her.
"Is there a problem with that?" he hissed and quickly turned back into the living room.
"No!" stated Kagome smiling larger than she was before. "You should just...well…you should smile more often."
Sesshoumaru looked back at her in surprise and his own heart stopped for a split second too as his eyes met Kagome's face. There planted in the middle was a genuine smile. Never before had anyone other than the sluts that tried to sleep with him and his mother ever smiled at him like that before. It made him, dare he say it, feel happy inside. 'This Kagome,' he thought softly to himself. 'Is definitely much more than I thought she was.'
Kagome's face immediately changed again. Sesshoumaru, although he hated himself for it, missed her smile. "Wait," she said slowly, "Did you just tell Kouga that you were going to the dance with me? I thought you said you didn't want to go."
Sesshoumaru gazed impassively back at her. "There was a change of plans." He stated without emotion and turned to walk toward his bedroom.
"Wait, Sesshoumaru, is it a date-" but before she could finish, Sesshoumaru had already closed his bedroom door. 'Why is he always doing that?' she asked herself. Kagome fell back onto the couch and grabbed a pillow to smother her face with not wanting anyone to see the smile that couldn't seem to go away. 'I'm going to the dance with Sesshoumaru!' she thought happily. "Wait…why am I so happy? I mean, this is Sesshoumaru… maybe I'm just happy that he is finally getting out of the house and we are making amends…yeah…that's it…' but in her heart, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that, she knew it wasn't true.
Okay! That's all for now! I'm sorry if it's not as long as you wanted it to be! Please review!
