Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha unfortunately. Guess what I found out? Shippou is like fifty years old and he still cries like a little girl XD. He says one episode that he doesn't remember an event that happened fifty years ago and inu says he would have been a baby so he's 50 though he appears 5. Though considering this is a fanfic I can do anything I want and I don't feel like making an explanation so for the sake of this story Shippou is 7 (In my story I sort of hinted at this when I said Kagome was a Sophomore but just so I'm clear it's been almost two years since Kagome first fell into the well. Also I found out Miroku's only 5'5", I thought he was taller, I guess that makes Miruto about 5'4". Actually now that I think about it I think I'm going to add Shippou, Souta, Kagome and Kohaku to my character descriptions just because they are all still growing. Finally I've heard of Miroku being 19 or 20 for the sake of this fanfic I'll use 19 so at the moment he's twenty but will be 21 by the time Michio is born. Oh yeah almost forgot I found out that Kagura is supposed to appear 17 but I decided she's supposed to be 18 even if she does still look younger then Takashi after all Kanna looks younger then all of them and she's the oldest. Ok now that all the explaining is out of the way, on with the story.
Chapter 6:
The Dance
"So Miruto, you ready for your first human dance?" Kagome asked her bathroom companion as they were looking into the mirror. She was wearing a light blue dress that had once belonged to her mother. She thought it was a little outdated but it was good enough especially with such little notice.
"Yeah this is so awesome, and besides it's to late to turn back now," Miruto smirked as he straightened hid bow tie.
"Hey I was wondering, why did you bring a suit with you?" Kagome asked the water demon.
"I brought all my clothes with me, my apartment is being rented out until I return so I took all of my things I didn't want anyone touching," He replied then start to play with his hair, "What do you think Kags, up or down?"
"Down, it fits your attire," she said as she started spraying her own black hair with hair spray, "So who gets the rent money from your apartment?"
"I do. My daughter Yorimi puts all the money into my bank account," Miruto told as he grabbed the doorknob.
"You have daughter!" Kagome said in astonishment.
"I have four and six sons," Miruto said in a tone that seemed to mean it was no big deal.
"Wow, you and your wife must be uh… busy," Kagome said awkwardly.
"Not really considering I don't have one. Most demon's don't mate for life considering we live fifty times as long as a human. Being with anyone that long would drive you insane," Miruto laughed then added, "Besides didn't you ever wonder why Inuyasha's father had two different mates, most demon's are quite lustful creatures."
'Now I know the horror Shippou felt when he learned about the birds and the bees,' Kagome shivered as the elemental left the bathroom.
As Miruto entered his new room he immediately noticed the lights were on then looked around the room to see Souta crouching down, "Souta what exactly are you doing in my room?" he asked calmly then noticed that the boy was hunched over the chest Miruto put at the foot of his bed, "Souta put your hands up and step away from the box, that is my private property and you shouldn't be going through it, in fact."
Souta watched as "his cousin" walked over to one of the suitcases which still wasn't unpacked and remove a lock which he quickly clamped on the chest, "Come on I just want to see. What's the big deal?" the ten year old asked then heard the doorbell ring.
"Miruto there's a young girl to see you," Mrs. Higurashi yelled up the stairs.
"Coming Mrs. Hi… I mean Aunt Ruri," he yelled back then turned back to Souta, "Now Souta get out of my room and maybe I'll show you what's inside later, oh one more thing, if you're going to try to look through someone's things wait till they leave the house."
The two walked into the hall then the elder closed the door behind him. He saw Inuyasha and Shippou sitting in the hallway and gave them a stare that told them to stay hidden. He reached the bottom of the stairs to find that his date was in tight blue jeans and a sweat jacket, "Hey Miruto, would you mind if I change in your room, I kind of told my parent's I be t a friend's house studying tonight. They think dating would only distract me from my studies," She lied and held out her bag which Miruto assumed had a now wrinkled dress inside.
"Oh sure it's up the stairs and the third on the right," Miruto told her then thought, 'Good thing I didn't put my photos up yet.' Kanojo went up the stairs and was soon out of sight but a few seconds later Kagome began to descend the steps.
"Oh Kagome you're so beautiful, your date will be the envy of all the guys at the dance," her mother started, " Which reminds me when am I going to meet this boy you're going out with?"
Kagome's face turned a little red as she replied, "He should be here soon along with two of Miruto's new friends, but I think I should warn you of something. You see my date is…" Kagome was cut off by the sound of the doorbell.
"I'll get it," Miruto said as he opened the door to find his two new friends standing in the doorway in formal attire, "Sachi, Mineto come on in, Aunt Ruri these are my friends Mineto Ikemoto and Sachi Tanaka."
"Ikemoto? Would you happen to be related to Mitsuki Ikemoto?" Ruri Higurashi asked the boy.
"Yeah he's my dad, why? Do you know him?" Mineto asked his friend's "aunt".
"Oh you're father! I went to the senior prom with him," the woman told him as he and "her nephew" burst into laughter.
"That explains a lot," Mineto whispered into his friend's pierced ear.
"Well when you get home tonight tell your father Ruri Higurashi says hello," Ruri smiled.
"Hey Sachi where's Ichiro I thought he was coming with you two," Kagome asked.
"He did I think he stopped to tie his shoe, oh here he come now," Sachi said looking behind her. Moments later he walked in the door and a confused look on her face.
"I'm guessing this is what you were trying to tell me before," Kagome's mother whispered to her daughter then received an affirming nod.
"Kagome you look beautiful," Ichiro said awkwardly. His comment was followed by a growl Miruto picked up with his sensitive hearing.
"Hey Inuyasha he looks like you," Shippou commented as they peeked around the corner from the upstairs.
"What the heck are you talking about," Inuyasha sneered, "I looked nothing like that ugly human."
"Would you excuse me for a second I need to… check on Kanojo," Miruto lied then ran up the stairs and ducked around the corner Inuyasha and Shippou were hiding behind, "What are you two doing, hide, Kanojo might come out of my room at any second."
"Why should we," Inuyasha replied stubbornly.
"Move or I'll make you move," Miruto smirked and held out his left hand and started doing walking fingers with his right. Simultaneously Inuyasha seemed to lose complete control of his legs and started walking against his will but as Miruto's fingers stopped so did Inuyasha, "Now be a good demon and hide in Kagome's room or I'll force you into another room that you won't be very happy about but Souta sure will."
Inuyasha stared spitefully into the grinning demon's eyes then turned to his current companion, "Come on runt let's go."
Miruto watched Inuyasha lift the young demon that was around half his size and took him into Kagome's room. "Miruto who were you talking to?" Kanojo asked as she exited her date's blue room wearing a long purple dress which seemed like it should be worn to a sophisticated dinner party but not to a school dance.
"Oh no one just my cousin Souta," Miruto fibbed then stared into his date's eyes, "Wow Kanojo you look great."
"Thanks you, too," she timidly replied.
"Come on let's go downstairs everyone is here," Miruto smiled then locked arms with his date. As the approached the downstairs he noticed an off white cat in Sachi's arms.
"Hey Miruto, is this your cat? She wandered into my backyard yesterday," Sachi said as she noticed his presence.
"Yeah her name is Kirara, she's my old little cat, I brought her with me from America," the demon partially lied.
"Well it's getting late we'd better get going," Mineto told the gang.
"Oh ok, bye Kirara," Sachi said as she scratched behind the cat's ear then let her down on the ground. As the six teens walked outside one thing immediately caught their attention.
"It's snowing!" Miruto exclaimed then stared up toward the sky with his mouth wide open.
"You're acting like you've never seen snow before," Sachi giggled.
"Let's just say it doesn't snow much where I come from," Miruto commented.
"Oh you're from the south?" Kanojo asked in English.
"Yeah Florida," Miruto lied in return then went back to trying to catch snow and almost runs into a telephone pole in the process.
"What did they say?" Ichiro whispered in Kagome's ear.
"I have no idea," Kagome answered back.
Three Hours Later
"OK everybody get on the dance floor because we're about to have a slow one," The singer in the band the school board had hired, Simple Plan, said suavely into the microphone.
"I guess that means us," Ichiro said to his date then turned and walked with her onto the dance floor. They stopped as they got toward the middle of the crowd. Kagome leaned against the teen's chest as he put his arms around her waist.
"Ichiro I need to confess something, I originally came here with you to make this guy jealous," Kagome confessed looking up into the raven haired boy's brown eyes.
"Oh I see," Ichiro said as he looked away.
"But I'm glad I came with you, you're much kinder then he is, and you actually seem to care about my feelings," She smiled then mumbled under her breath, "instead if chasing after Kikyo."
"What was that?" Ichiro asked.
"Oh nothing, thanks for being such a great guy," she told him then quickly pressed her lips against his. (I know lame but my friend Chelsea would never let me live it down if I didn't write it XD)
At the other side of the room Miruto and Kanojo were dancing with bored looks plastered on their faces, "You know I thought this would be more interesting then this," Miruto told his "human" date.
"I know what you mean, dances are so much more exciting on TV, besides all this pink is creeping me out," Kanojo winced then turned to her dancing partner then added, "Do you wanna just head back now? I promised my parents I'd be home by eleven. We can watch television at your place till then."
"Sure why not," Miruto shrugged and they both started walking toward the door passing bye two teens that were deep into a make-out session who Miruto recognized as Sachi and Mineto, "By the way have you ever watched the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
30 Minutes Later at the Higurashi Residence
Miruto and his date had come home ten minutes previous and had told Mrs. Higurashi that it wasn't very interesting but Kagome was still there. She was heading toward Souta's room to tuck him in when she noticed Miruto's door was wide open. As she went to close it she looked in to find the outfits "her nephew" and his date had worn to the dance laid out on the bed, 'No they couldn't be,' she thought then silently tip-toed down the stairs and pressed up against the wall that divided the downstairs hallway with the living room.
"Faster Miruto faster," She heard a girl yell.
"I'm going as fast as I can," She heard a male voice reply.
"This is so awesome," the girl said.
""Oh finally it's done!" Miruto exclaimed as Mrs. Higurashi burst into the room.
"Miruto what in the world do you think you're… doing," Mrs. Higurashi asked but became confused as she saw two fully dressed teenager's on the couch, in front of the glowing TV set with the clicker in "her nephew's" hand.
"We're just watching Buffy Aunt Ruri," Miruto replied indignantly.
"Yeah but there are so many previews, I hate the way that they've been putting them on DVDs lately. Miruto just got finished fast forwarding through them right now. God it's so awesome I'm finally getting to watch Buffy again, I haven't seen it since I moved here," Kanojo told the confused women. Kagome's mother left the room as the two "teens" both shrugged their shoulders.
Finally done, I hope you don't mind the bit of perversion I put into the chapter I couldn't help myself. Also sorry I didn't put more on the dance into it I thought I had the entire chapter planned out but realized I left out the most important part XD. I hope you liked it. Please R&R. Oh almost forgot I need a vote, I was planning on giving Miruto an item, (like Kagura's fan) but I haven't decided whether or not it should be a weapon. Tell me your opinion. Thanks, seeya soon.
