Inuyasha awoke the next day with a start. He was dreaming of Kagome when he heard someone calling his name. "Inuyasha! Wake up already! Inuyasha! Now!" The voice he recognized as Sango's was shaking him.

"Alright. Alright! You can stop shaking me now." He swatted her hands off him.

"Good. Now I noticed you didn't come back with Kagome, last night like you promised. What happened?" Sango asked him placing her hands on her hips.

"Huh, what? Oh yeah…um she kinda tricked me…" He blushed as his mind relived the memory. Good thing Sango couldn't read his thoughts or he may be in a lot of trouble right now….

"What do you mean she tricked you?" Sango asked confused.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned away from her.

"Whatever. Knowing you, you probably made her too mad at you to come back!"

"I did not! She's just busy that's all! I'll go get her in a couple of days."

The last two days of practicing with Isamu went by quickly. Kagome was surprised that Inuyasha hadn't come back for her yet, it was so unlike him. The day of the competition was upon her and she was nervous but anxious at the same time. She was sitting in the limo (yeah a limo! One of those really expensive ones with food and drinks and enough room to seat like 8 people!). She was also wearing the dress Isamu had provided her. She really loved how it clung to her and showed off her figure. The dress was red and went all the way down to her feet. It was low cut and tied around her neck. She loved it! Her hair one pulled up and two strands dangled down around her face.

Kagome thought back to how her mother reacted when she saw her in the dress. Of course she had to take about a hundred pictures of her and Isamu. It was like junior prom all over again! Not to mention how she kept repeating "Kagome you look amazing!" Sota couldn't have cared less. He stayed in his room playing video his stupid games. Never even came down to say good bye! Not that she cared.

A few minutes later and they arrived at their destination. Isamu being the gentleman he was stepped out of the limo first and walked over to her side to open the door for her. She took his hand and he helped her exit the car. They walked inside arm in arm. They looked like the perfect couple.

Inside they found the sign in sheets and looked to see what time they were to perform. Out of the 20 couples they were couple number 12. They had about an hour and fifteen minute wait.

Inuyasha was on his way to the well. Kagome said she would be back today. It was already past noon and still there was no sign of her. He knew he still had a few hours of the day left but he didn't care. He could just go check on her, couldn't he? Just to see what she was doing. No harm in that. He jumped through the well and was immediately enveloped in the blue light of traveling forward in time. As soon as he made it through the well he knew Kagome wasn't home. Her scent was faint. He strode up to her house and for once walked in through the door instead of the window.

"Hey Inuyasha." Sota greeted him. "Kagome's not here."

"Can you tell me where she is?" Asked Inuyasha. If Kagome or her mother wouldn't tell him what's going on then why not get it outta the kid?

"Sure. She went to this dance competition with her childhood friend Isamu."

"Can you tell me where that is?" Asked Inuyasha finally glad to get the answers he wanted.

"Yeah, just…" But before Sota could finish he was stopped by a hand being placed over his mouth.

"Sota no." It was Mrs. Higurashi. "Kagome is going to be so mad. She told me not to tell Inuyasha where she was."

"Well I didn't know!" Sota said his voice slightly raised. "No one told me not to tell him!"

"Mrs. Higurashi I beg you to take me to her!" yelled Inuyasha slamming his hand on the kitchen table, making a small dent.

"No, Inuyasha! Their is a reason she doesn't want you there! I made a promise to her and I intend to keep it!"

"If you don't tell me I'll find her myself!" He said making his way out the door.

"Wait!" the thought of having Inuyasha running allover town, causing who know what kind of trouble, scared Mrs. Higurashi. "Alright! I'll take you, but on one condition!"

"I'll do anything!"

"You have to wear the clothes I provide for you and a hat to cover your ears."

"Fine!" Inuyasha quickly agreed.

It was almost Kagome and Isamu's turn to dance. Their was only two couples to go until it was their turn. Anxiously they waited. Kagome's couldn't get this bad feeling to leave her. She didn't know what caused it but it wouldn't go away.

"What wrong? Surely you don't have butterflies in your stomach?" Asked Isamu seeming to notice something was bothering her.

"No, I'm not nervous. I just have this bad feeling that won't go away."

"I bet its nothing. You're probably just worried because it's been a few years since you've danced in front of so may people."

"Maybe your right." Said Kagome not believing what he told her. Something told her it was something else.

Mrs. Higurashi, Inuyasha, and Sota were almost there. Mrs. Higurashi had Inuyasha dressed in nice pair of blue jeans and dress shirt. He looked nice except for the baseball hat that covered his ears. It seemed to clash with his outfit but it was all she had to cover his cute little dog ears.

They pulled into the parking lot and walked in the door to the seating area. Because they got there so late there were no empty seats so the trio had to stand in the back.

"Now Inuyasha, please don't do anything stupid! Kagome would kill me if she found out you were here. She and Isamu should be up next. Just stand there and don't move." Mrs. Higurashi instructed the hanyou.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" He said. Inuyasha knew Kagome was here and near by too. He could smell her. It took everything he had to stay put and not go find her. He didn't want to make things worse between them. Maybe after they were all back home he could talk to her. Hopefully she wouldn't be too mad at him.
