Destiny is what is meant to be…
People say… that love is the hardest game of all because how can one win if there are no rules to play by…

Chapter 10: The Kiss.
THEATER
"Everyone come here for a minute!" Mr. Souma was trying to gather everyone onto the stage.
It took a while for the class to settle down and have everyone in one place.
"Ok, today is the first rehearsal. So we are going to work backwards from the end of the story to the front, starting with Snow White and the Prince." Mr. Souma explained. "Now, the trees and animals can just hang out for today. But everyone else, start memorizing your lines. I did this on purpose because Snow White and the Prince do not have many lines at the end of the story. Places!" Mr. Souma walked over to Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Ms. Higurashi, Mr. Taisho, ready?" Mr. Souma asked.
"Hai." Inuyasha and Kagome replied in unison.
"Alright!" Mr. Souma exclaimed as he slapped a rolled up paper into his palm.
Since it was the first day of rehearsal no sets and props were made yet and they had to make do with a table brought in from an empty class room.
Kagome laid down on the table and waited for Inuyasha to say his lines.
"Oh, my dear sweet princess, what became of you?" Inuyasha said dully as he knelt down next to the table.
"Inuyasha! Put more feeling into it!" Mr. Souma yelled.
"Oh, my dear sweet princess, what became of you?" Inuyasha said with more feeling and a louder voice.
The people who were playing the dwarfs surrounded the table.
"Prince, sire, she is dead, no longer of this world," a dwarf said.
"That cannot be." Inuyasha said.
"Sorry, sire, but it is true." Another dwarf said.
Then the dwarfs backed up from the table about 2 feet to give Inuyasha room to get closer to Kagome.
"Then I shall give you one last kiss and die by your side." Inuyasha bent down and leaned forward.
Everyone had stopped what they were doing and watched.
'C'mon, Inuyasha, you can do this.' Inuyasha thought to himself.
'What's taken that baka so long, this table isn't that comfortable.' Kagome thought, wanting to move, but knew that if she would they would have to do this over.
Inuyasha leaned closer and closer and just as he was about to kiss Kagome, Kikyo screamed.
Inuyasha's head turned to see who had made such a noise.
Kagome sat up, relieved that she could move and get her back off from that table.
"Ahhhh!" Kikyo had dropped at box she was holding and all of its contents right on top of her foot. Apparently she was holding the box upside down and the top opened.
"Are you alright Kikyo?" One of Kikyo's friends asked.
"Oww, owww, OWW!" Kikyo yelled again as she tried to move her foot.
Mr. Souma sighed. "Can someone please assist Ms. Kikyo to the nurse?"
Kagura and Kanna helped Kikyo hop down the stage and out the theater.
"Ok, let's continue." Mr. Souma instructed.
Kagome gave a little nod to Inuyasha before lying down again. She closed her eyes.
'Was that a nod?' Inuyasha asked himself, confused.
"Inuyasha? Ready?" Mr. Souma asked.
Inuyasha turned around and nodded.
"Ok, on three, one, two, three." Mr. Souma counted.
Inuyasha said his lines and the dwarves theirs, then it was to the kissing scene again.
Inuyasha leaned forward, closer and closer.
'I can do it; it's not a big deal.' Inuyasha thought.
He was right above Kagome's lips when he just closed his own eyes and kissed Kagome.
There were a few quiet gasps.
The narrator quickly said their lines and the curtains were closed.
Before Kagome could get up and stretch, Inuyasha was gone.
Kagome sat up on the table and brushed her fingers across her lips.
'That was my…first kiss…' Kagome thought.
End of Chapter 11
I'm sorry its such a SHORT chapter but I promise the next one will be longer. For sure, if not then I will make the next next one long as it can possibly be.
R&R!
