Kagome looked at herself in the full length mirror in Sango's room. She and Sango were getting ready together in her room for the dance tonight. Her dress looked as amazing on her, just as it had in the store. Sango had put a white-silver glitter eye shadow on her and shimmer on her checks, chest (don't freak, Kagome put it there…sry no lesbian action going on in this room…), and shoulders. Kagome put the finishing touch of a light pink glossy lipstick on her self and checked her hair one last time. She had decided to keep it down and Sango had helped her curl and style it.
Looking over at Sango Kagome smiled again. She had chosen a black and red dress that came off her shoulders and had a flared shirt. After about two hours of strait begging Sango had finally agreed to go to the dance with Miroku, but Kagome could tell that she had wanted to go with him all along.
"Ready?" she asked nervously. "The dance starts in one minute, if we leave now we won't be too late or early."
Sango nodded and headed toward the door. Taking a deep breath she turned back toward Kagome "Here we go!" she whispered with a hint of a giggle opening the door.
"AH! Sango! You look positively divine!" Exclaimed Miroku walking toward Sango with his arms open.
"Oh, no you don't buddy!" retorted Sango holding him back with her arm. "This is my space," she stated making a circle around herself with her arms. "And that's your space, let's keep it that way."
Sesshoumaru watched the couple with amused eyes, but the same nonchalant face. Looking at the doorway he began to become irritated. 'Where the hell is that woman? She has the honor of going to this dance with me, but refuses to come out?'
"Are you coming out or not woman?" he called to Kagome in the other room. "Either way, we are leaving with or without you."
Kagome rolled her eyes but quickly clamed the raging inferno burning inside her. 'No, tonight will be nice and we will have a good time and it will all be perfect.' Kagome reminded herself. Stepping out of the bedroom she flashed Sesshoumaru her perfect but deadly smile. "I'm ready." She managed to say politely.
Upon seeing Kagome Sesshoumaru froze in his tracks. Never before had he seen such a beautiful or more godlike creature in his life. Kagome looked beyond words. Sesshoumaru quickly composed himself. "Finally." He muttered turning to the door. "Let's get his over with, shall we?" he asked in his calm voice offering Kagome his arm.
Kagome took it and they headed down the corridor together with Sango and Miroku behind them.
Suddenly the sound of flesh hitting flesh sounded behind them. "What the hell do you think you are doing!?" screamed Sango to the cowering Miroku.
"Why Sango," he replied in a sweet innocent tone. "I was just trying to fallow suit with Sesshoumaru and Kagome and link arms my dear."
Sango scoffed. "Yes well, too bad it wasn't my arm you grabbed! Keep you hands to yourself hentia; I want this night to be perfect. You got it!"
Kagome pulled slightly on Sesshoumaru's arm, beckoning to continue walking. "We should let them talk in private." She whispered quietly in his ear smiling up at him.
"What?" he asked annoyed.
"Nothing," she said sighing dreamily. "I just have a feeling that sparks are going to fly between those two tonight…That is, if Miroku doesn't screw things up again."
Kikyou looked over the growing mass of people stretching out before her. Even though Sesshoumaru had refused her invitation to come to the dance with her, she had still managed to easily seduce his younger brother Inu-Yasha into coming with her. "Inu," she purred seductively, "Be a dear and go fetch me a drink will you? I am begging to feel parched."
Inu-Yasha's golden eyes looked down at her lustfully. "Whatever you say Kikyou…" He whispered into her ear. Kikyou watched triumphantly at Inu-Yasha's fleeing back.
She smiled to herself. 'I have all these boys tied around my finger,' she thought looking around at the dancing couples a few feet in front of her. 'They are all my play things...that is,' Kikyou searched the dance floor for thewhite haired god that had somehow managed to escape her clutches all these years. Finally spotting his proud figure standing tall amongst all those around him she began walking in his direction. 'Except for you Sesshoumaru.'
Kikyou was almost upon him when suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks. There, standing next to him, was another girl, another date. 'How dare him! How dare he refuse my invitation but yet turn around and except another girl's offer!' she thought venomously. 'This girl, Kagome I believe her name is, needs to be broken. This school is mine and I refuse to let some idiot freshmen get in the way of what I want…'
Kagome looked over the crowd and smiled. She loved dancing and she didn't mean to be cocky about it but she was a damn good dancer.
Suddenly a slow love song began to play over the speakers and Kagome squealed in excitement.
"Come on Sesshoumaru!" she cried happily tugging on his arm. "Let's dance!" She smiled up at his unreadable eyes as they looked vacantly back at her.
"First, I, Sesshoumaru, do not 'dance'. Secondly, I can't seem to put together how someone as low as you convinced me to go to this stupid dance with you. So I believe that I shall return to-"
Before he could finish his sentence though, a loud squeel interrupted him.
"Oh Sessy!" Kikyou cried throwing her arms around him. "There you are! I've been terribly worried about you, love!" She turned to face Kagome. "You see, Sessy asked me to this dance ages ago and we agreed to meet here, but I couldn't find him!"
Sesshoumaru stood as frozen as ice. He couldn't believe that someone as dirtied as Kikyou would dare to touch him. It was repulsive. "Kikyou...-" Sesshoumaru growled dangerously, but before he would finish that thought he was yet again interrupted by Kagome standing next to him, one eyebrow raised and a smile playing on her lips.
Kagome let out a pleasant yet dangerous laugh immediately seeing through Kikyou's plan. "I highly doubt that." She said smiling at Kikyou. "You see, Sesshoumaru only even looks at girls if they have the least amount of class in them. He would never go for a trailer park slut such as you."
Sesshoumaru looked over at her girl dumbfounded. 'I never knew that Kagome had that in her.' He thought stunned. 'I always thought that she was just another one of them. A sluty rich girl that had gotten everything she has ever wanted her entire life. But one such as them could never have possibly come up with a remark such as that in such a short time. She speaks as if she has experienced people like that first hand...Is it possible, that I, Sesshoumaru, was wrong?'
Kikyou's eye flared with anger and she lightly let go of Sesshoumaru's hard body. 'I think I shall let these two duel this out.' Sesshoumaru thought deviously.
"Now, now, little girl, the grown up's are talking, why don't you run along." She stated shooing Kagome with her hand. "And besides," Kikyou added in, "I am allergic tothe smell cologne and breast implants give off."
"Oh thank god!" Kagome retorted in a voice of false relief. "I was afraid your face always looked like that, oh, and these are one hundred percent real. You could probably grow some of your own if you actually ate something once in a while."
Sesshoumaru smirked down at Kikyou, knowing that Kagome had won this duel. But inside he was feeling a totally different emotion. 'Could it be…' Sesshoumaru thought confused of his own feelings. 'It almost feels like I'm proud of Kagome. But why would I be proud of her...'
It was at this time that Inu-Yasha decided to make his entrance. "Kikyou!" He said relieved. "Where did you run off to-" Inu-Yasha stopped dead in his tracks. There, standing before him, was Kagome. She looked like a goddess. Never before had Inu-Yasha lusted after a girl so much as he did now, not even Kikyou. Inu-Yasha licked his lips hungerily and rubbed his hands togher, but looking over to her left, he stopped immeadiatly and growled in anger. Kagome, HIS Kagome had gone to the dance with his older brother Sesshoumaru. 'How dare him!' Inu-Yasha thought angrily. Taking a step forward Inu-Yasha started to walk over to confront his older brother.
Kikyou, seeing his reaction quickly grabbed a hold of his tux sleeve before things escaladed out of control. "Come Inu, let's dance." Kikyou gave Kagome one last cold stare then turned back to the dance floor, dragging Inu-Yasha, like a puppy, behind her.
Sesshoumaru could feel the heat and anger flowing out of every pore in Kagome's body.
The DJ announced the next song as 'Time is Running out' by Muse adn thier music started blaring out of the speakers. "Come on!" shouted Kagome over the music and tugging the reluctant Sesshoumaru over to the dance floor.
Kagome stood in front of Sesshoumaru and started to dance. Her hips swayed in time with the beat and her arms moved around her body alluringly, beckoning Sesshoumaru to join her. Sesshoumaru, knowing a challenge when he saw one positioned himself next to Kagome and stared moving to her rhythm.
'I think I'm drowning, exfoliating,
I want to break the spell that you created.
You're something beautiful, a contradiction,
I want to play the game, I want lefriction.
You…will be…the death of me…
Yeah you…will be…the death of me…
Burry it, I won't let you burry it.
I won't let you smother it,
I won't let you murder it.
Our time is running out.
Our time is running out.
You can't push it under ground,
You can't stop it screaming out.
'Wow,' thought Kagome impressed. 'I think that Sesshoumaru might be the only person that I have ever danced with that has been able to keep up with me.' Kagome smiled a devilish grin. 'Let's see if he can keep up with this…'
I wanted freedom, now that's evicted,
I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted.
Now that you know I'm trapped, says oxidation,
You never dream of breaking this fixation.
You…will suck…the life out of me….
Yeah you will suck the life, out of me…
Bury it; I won't let you bury it.
I won't let you smother it.
I won't let you murder it.
Our time is running out…. Our time is running out,
You can't push it underground,
You stop it screaming out...
How did it come to this?
Oooh…yeah yeah yeah…
oooohh….yeah yeah yeah….
Yeah you will squeeze the life out me…
Bury it; I won't let you bury it.
I won't let you smother it,
I won't let you murder it.
Our time is running out,
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground,
You can't stop it screaming out.
How did it come to this?
Ooohhh…..yeah yeah yeah yeah…
ooohhh…yeah yeah yeah...
As themusic fadedSesshoumaru looked down at his little dance partner. "I think…' Sesshoumaru thought slowly, 'That, that might have been the first dance I actually enjoyed.'
Kagome gazed up breathlessly at Sesshoumaru, as the notes of a romantic slow song began wafting out of the DJ's stereo.
This time Kagome didn't even asked for permission to dance with Sesshoumaru, she just simply wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him 1 inch from his body; not daring to get any closer without his permission.
She could feel his curious stare looking down at her but she suddenly found the wooden floorboards very interesting and was unable to meet his gaze.
Kagome let out a surprised gasp as she felt Sesshoumaru's muscular arms wrap around her and penetrate the remaining centimeters between the two.
Sesshoumaru smirked as he took note of the rapid increase of Kagome's heart and the effect this simple action had on Kagome.
Hesitantly, Kagome placed her head on Sesshoumaru's chest as she let the music take her to a far away place. 'Do I?' Kagome found herself wondering. 'Is it possible that I have actually fallen in love with this man?' Kagome stopped that train of thought immediately. 'No,' she thought determined. 'I will not fall in love with anyone here-' 'Then why,' interrupted her conscious. 'Do you always feel light and happy when you are around him?' 'Shut up!' demanded Kagome 'You know nothing about me. Don't meddle in affairs you aren't concerned with.' 'Ah, my child…you have much to learn…' and just like that the voice faded away.
The music ended abruptly and Kagome had never been so glad a song was over in her life.
"Are you thirsty?" asked Sesshoumaru in a deep voice peeling his body away from Kagome's.
"Yes." She replied meekly. Just like that Sesshoumaru was gone, and Kagome was alone with her own conflicting feelings.
Kikyou watched in utter hatred as Kagome and Sesshoumaru danced. Never before had she ever seen Sesshoumaru act this way. In all her years of careful observation he had always seemed like the cold hearted god from fairy tails. But now…now that he was with that 'Kagome' girl, he acted different...He acted happy.
"He will get his tonight." Kikyou hissed to herself. Knowing that Sesshoumaru and Kagome had been dancing for quite some time, she quickly slipped over to the punch table where glasses of punch were lined up in little decorative plastic cups in four symmetrical rows.
Knowing how Sesshoumaru would choose the punch, she quickly slipped a tablespoon of a white power into the two cups closest to the punch bowl, knowing that he would, of course,want the freshest ones which were always the closest to the bowl.
The power dissolved immediately into the drinks and Kikyou smiled a triumphant smile. 'Even Sesshoumaru's great senses will be unable to detect this drug,' she thought happily. 'And by the end of the night he will seem like nothing more then a drunken little child.' Her evil plot fulfilled Kikyou slowly made her way back to the dance floor, where she knew Inu-Yasha waited hungerilyfor her.
Sesshoumaru handed Kagome her cup hesitantly, something wasn't right here, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.
Tilting his head back, he quickly downed the entire glass in one gulp. As soon as the liquid touched his tong, he had sensed it. A poison, not a deadly poison, but one that could seriously mess with you head; had been mixed into the drinks, but he had not been quick enough to spit the drink out before it splashed into his stomach.
Looking urgently over at Kagome he quickly swatted the glass away before could drink any of it.
"Hey!" Kagome cried out but quickly stopped her ranting and raving when she saw the look on Sesshoumaru's face.
"Drugged." He managed to get out before the poison could take a hold of him. Just like that the world started to become hazy and blurry. The lights streaked across his vision, making his loose his balance. He could hear Kagome calling his name, but try as he might he couldn't respond.
AN: Hey! I'm getting better with making them longer!...aren't I?
