Chapter 3: Dance! Dance!

"Are you serious?" "Yup" Kagome yawned. "So you're saying they are BOTH a threat?" Sango exclaimed drowsily on the other end of the phone. "Yep." Kagome responded casually into her phone. It was 1:30AM. They had just started talking. Kagome had to wait this late because her younger brother, Souta, had been out and her mother made her wait 'til he was home safely before the phone line may be used again.

Sango had spent most of the week studying. Even though she didn't really care about any mark other than art or P.E her mother made her. Both her and her younger brother, Kohaku, had to receive average grades in all subjects. Or privileges would be lost…Some privileges no teen-ager should live without. Sango couldn't stop yawning…

"So…You're going to…yawn…get rid of Inu-yasha first?" Kagome seemed to think this for a little before responding. "Not exactly…" Sango made a questioning sound. "Well…You see…It'd be a lot easier if…let's just say you play a big part in my plan…I mean BIG." Kagome said with evil intentions clear in her voice. Sango rolled her eyes (I know Kagome can't see it but w.e) "I'm not sure I'm liking your plan…" "I'll explain it to you later…Tomorrow, mall, 12." Kagome said. Sango agreed and they hung up.

Kagome walked to her desk and placed the phone on her desk. Then returning to her spot by the window she gazed at the stars. She didn't exactly like her plan either…It was all she could think of on such a short notice though…

Kagome sighed. Running a hand through her hair she let memories flow through her. She hadn't always been a "bad girl". It had started when she was young. She had discovered it protected her from many of life's harm and so kept the attitude. But she didn't like it. But if she lost her title…If she lost her title she would be worse than before. No. She must keep her title. Looking up at the stars she thought of their soft light that shone through all the distance, al the darkness threatening to swallow the little light. But the stars shone none the less…Kagome wanted, more than anything, to be like that star. To not allow the darkness from swallowing her. But in truth…it already had…

"Kagome! Time to get up!" Her mother called to her through her closed door. Waiting impatiently for her daughter's reply. "I'm up!" Kagome replied sleepily. "Breakfast in ten minutes!" Her mother added before turning to Souta's room and knocking on his door. Kagome stood up. Man! Her back was killing her! Sleeping by the window must've been a bad decision. Oh well…glancing at the time she went to her washroom. (IT was connected to her room) and splashed cold water on her face. Looking in the mirror she smiled like a little girl. Then she turned her gaze cold, powerful and bitter. Walking out she went to her closet. What shall I wear today…? She thought to herself. Pulling out a pair of black, tight jeans and two tank tops, one black, one brown, she threw them on the bed. After changing, wearing the black top under the light brown one, she pulled out a black sweater and zipped it up to just below her bust line. Walking into the washroom she washed her face and put on some black eye-liner, mascara, light blush, cherry lip gloss, golden-brown eye shadow and then she went to go find some golden, hoop earrings. After she was done clipping her locket around her neck she looked herself over in a mirror. Almost perfect. But it didn't give off to much of a bad attitude picture. So instead of the black sweater she put on a baggy, black jacket (leaving the zipper fully open). There. Now it was perfect.

Kagome turned and walked out of her room, closing and locking the door behind her, shoving the key in her pocket. If any one else saw her room they might have a heart attack…Slowly walking down the wooden stairs she sighed. Another day of faking. Another day of protection. Her thoughts countered. So Kagome turned the corner into her kitchen and sat down silently for breakfast. "Hello dear. Do you have any plans for today…?" Kagome just nodded silently. Looking at the clock she decided to cut breakfast short. As soon as the food was placed before her she began to eat. Once the plate was empty she stood up and walked it to the kitchen. "I'm going to the mall to meet Sango. Laters!" Kagome yelled as she grabbed her purse and jacket. Slamming the door behind her she ran to the nearest bus stop. Pulling out some tickets she paid her fare and sat down near the back. Once the mall was in sight she pulled on the yellow cord hanging beside her. "Ding"

Kagome stood up and got off the bus. "Kags!" Sango's familiar voice called from the mall's main entrance. Kagome raised one hand and waved lazily. Slouching her shoulder's slightly she walked over to her best friend. Kagome stretched an arm and yawned. They entered the mall by the main entrance, a lot of people stared at the two teenage girls. "I'm totally bored!" Sango smiled. "Same. So, where to first?" Sango asked. "Let's hang at the arcade for a bit. I wonder who else had the unique idea of going to the mall on a Saturday." Sango giggled and nodded. "To the arcade." She mumbled.

"So how are we going to deal with the brothers?" Sango asked as she folded her arms behind her neck childishly. Kagome walked with a slight slouch and made sure that any wandering eyes in her direction received a death glare that would haunt their worst night mares. "You'll see." Kagome replied sweetly.

The two girls entered the arcade and walked to the DDR. So far no one there they knew. Kagome and Sango waited for two boys the finish up dancing. They weren't half bad. Kagome and Sango watched the guy on the left. "He's kind of cute." Sango whispered in Kagome ear.

The guy had deep, concentrated green eyes and freckles. Kagome guessed him to be their age even though he looked younger. He was somewhat scrawny and his bright orange hair stood out from the crowd.

"Meh." Kagome shrugged. She really couldn't care less. When the guys' dance was finished, they weren't surprised to see that the orange-haired guy had won. Sango and Kagome went up and put their money in the slots. The went on "Super Heavy" and chose the song "Sakura" (that's my fav. Song on the DDR! ) and the music began. They danced until their legs felt soar. When the song was over Kagome had won.

The guy from earlier walked up to her. "I'd like to see you do that again" Kagome nodded in agreement and put some more money in. They were both shocked to see it was a tie. The watching people started to chant "DANCE OFF! DANCE OFF!" Kagome looked around the crowd; it had doubled in size since their dancing had started. She looked to her opponent; he was looking around the crowd nervously. Kagome smirked and nodded. "One more?" she asked with venom dripping from her cold words. His face went blank and he nodded, determination shone brightly in his eyes. They each put money in the machine, picked a song and waited. "I bet 5$ on the chick!" A male's voice called out from the crowd "5$ on that cutie!" a female's voice echoed back. Kagome rolled her eyes, turned around and scared everyone, "SHUT UP!" Silence. Kagome smiled and nodded. Sango looked as if she was going to fall on the floor laughing. Kagome turned back to her opponent and gave him a small nod before the music started.

Both took in deep breaths. "Get Ready! Dance!" The machine's voice echoed through the arcade. Both started. All perfects. Kagome was lifting her body off the ground with the bars and letting her feet do all the work. Finally the song ended. Everyone knew the results. Or so they thought…The crowd went wild when the results appeared on screen…
