Chapter 8: Asked to the dance and a request from Kaede
The next morning, just as Rin got to school, two of her new friends, Aoi and Yuri, walked over to her and they started talking as they headed to class.
"Mornin' Rin." Aoi and Yuri said.
"Mornin' to you too."
"Since you just started school here, you don't know that there is a dance Friday, huh?" Yuri said.
"No. Who's taking you guys?"
"Koshiro is." Yuri said.
"And Yosuke taking me."
"Cool." Rin said.
"So that only leaves you and Shippo."
"Yeah, I bet he'll ask you." Aoi said.
"You both think so?" Rin said as she kept looking at her two friends.
"Yeah. It seems that he has a little crush on you."
"You gotta think, he did spend a lot of time with you yesterday." Yuri said.
"Come to think about it, he was nicer than usual." Aoi said.
'Does he really like me?' She had her head hanging down a little bit to shadow her face as she started to blush.
"Rin? Earth to Rin." Yuri waved her hand in front of Rin's face.
"Huh? What?"
"You were spacing out, What were you thinking about?" Said Yuri.
"Oh nothing." She smiled as she was trying to hide her blush.
"You're blushing." Yuri said.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. You like Shippo, huh?" Aoi said.
"Uh...no." Her blush got a little bit darker.
"Yeah right. You can tell us. We won't tell anyone." Aoi said.
"Uh... shouldn't we be getting to class?" Rin took off down the hall, to first period geography.
"Rin wait for us!" Aoi and Yuri chased after her.
Rin was already in her seat when Aoi and Yuri got to class. They both took their seats which, unfortunate for Rin, was next to her and then the bell rung.
"Rin, you can't lie to us." Aoi said.
"So just tell us the truth, do you like him or not?"
"Okay okay. I like him, but don't tell anyone."
"There, was it really that hard?" Yuri said.
"No." She sighed.
"Okay then."
They all stopped talking as the teacher begun.
After first period was over, the three girls walked down the halls to their english class and seen the guys walking to class.
"Shippo! Yosuke! Koshiro!" They called out and rushed to them.
"It's the girls." Yosuke said. They stopped and turned around.
"Are you already for the dance?" Koshiro said as he placed his arms around Yuri and kissed her.
"Yeah."
"Good."
"Can you two do that somewhere else?" Yosuke said.
"Geez. Sorry for living."
"Come on lets get to class." Yosuke said and everyone started to walk off.
"Uh, Rin, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure."
"I was thinking about something yesterday to ask you and..." He started to blush a little bit.
"Yeah."
"Uh... I was wondering if you would like to go to the school dance with me on Friday?"
"I would like to."
"You mean it?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
"Now lets get to class before the bell rings."
They both rushed to class and sat next to their friends, just as the bell rings.
As the lunch bell rung, everyone gathered right out side of the band room to head to the cafeteria.
"Are we permitted to leave campus for lunch?" Rin asked.
"Yeah we can, but not everyone has enough money to eat out during lunch." Shippo said.
"Yeah." Everyone else, except Rin, said and sighed.
"How about we go out to eat instead of eating here? I'll buy."
"Huh? You have enough money?" They all said.
"Yeah, actually more than enough."
"I vote for eat out, anyone with me?" Yuri said.
"I am!" Everyone else said.
"Then lets go."
As they were walking to the front of the school, they seen their p.e. teacher.
"Hi kids."
"Oh, hi Mrs. Kyojin." They all said.
"You guys going out to eat?"
"Uh-huh."
"Okay, just don't be late to class."
"We won't, bye." All said in unison.
"Bye."
After lunch in the girls locker room, the three girls were changing for p.e.
"Rin, what did Shippo talked to you about before second period?"
"Yeah, did he ask you to the dance?" Yuri said.
"Maybe."
"Come on tell us!" Both girls said.
"He did."
"And?"
"Did you say yes?"
"Uh-huh."
"I knew it was gonna happen."
"You two might have a hidden connection or something."
"I don't think so."
"It could be."
"Well is the dance formal?"
"Uh huh." Aoi and Yuri said.
"What time?"
"7pm to 9pm."
"Okay."
When all the girls were dressed in their p.e. clothes, the locker door was opened by Mrs. Kyojin.
"Com'n ladies, we're all waiting on you. Move it, move it, move it." She said And all the girl rushed out into the gym.
After school, all six friends gathered out side of the school's boundary.
"I feel up for a shake." Aoi said.
"Yeah, me too."
"Then lets get some. Rin, would you like to come with?" Shippo asked.
"Sure."
They all walked a block east of the school to a WacDonalds and went in. The girls sat at a table and told the guys what type of shake they wanted, chocolate. So the guys went up and ordered.
Shortly after, the guys got back to the table, with all the shakes.
"Here ya go." The guys said as they gave them their shakes, sat down.
"Thanks." The three girls said as they started to drink their shakes.
"Hey Rin, do wanna come over to my place for a sleep over on Saturday?" Yuri asked.
"Saturday?! Sorry, I can't. I have something really important to do with my, uh, sisters."
"Oh, okay. Maybe some other time?"
"Yeah, maybe."
At that moment, her cell phone went off, playing the tune 'No More Words'. She bent over to her bag, pulled it out of one of the side pockets and looked at the screen. It was Sango calling.
"I'll be right back, okay?"
"Okay." They all said.
Rin got up from her seat and walked right outside and answered the phone.
"Hey Sango."
"Rin, where are you?"
"I'm at WacDonald's with some friends. What's the problem?"
"The one by the school?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I just got a phone call from Kagome."
"What about?"
"To tell me that Kaede-sama called and that she wants us to be downtown at her office by 4 o'clock."
"Okay."
"I'll be there in a few minutes to get you, and Kagome will meet us there."
"Okay, I'll be looking for you."
"Good. See you in a few, bye."
"Bye." She hanged up her phone, walked back inside, and took her seat.
"What was that all about?" Yuri asked.
"Oh nothing, one of my sisters is coming to pick me up."
"What for?" Everyone asked.
"We gotta go meet someone."
"Oh, okay."
For the next 5 minutes, Rin has been looking out the windows to watch for Sango to drive up while talking to her friends. She didn't want them to find out that she was lying to them, even tho they would find out eventually. Then she seen Sango drive up.
"My ride's here. See you guys tomorrow." She got up, tossed her backpack over her shoulder, grabbed the rest of her shake, and quickly walked out.
"Okay, later." The friends said waving to her as they looked out of the to the car she got into and took off.
"Huh, Rin's sister looks familar." Koshiro said.
"Yeah."
"Damn! Sorry everyone, I've gotta get home before Inuyasha does." Shippo tossed his backpack on him and grabbed his shake.
"Okay, later Shippo." The four said.
"Later." He rushed out and headed home, hoping Inuyasha and Miroku doesn't get off work early.
About 4 o'clock, Sango and Rin just arrived at a large building and seen Kagome leaning against her midnight blue Jaguar XKR.
"Kagome, did Kaede-sama say why she wanted to see us here?" Sango asked.
"Nope, she just said for me to get a hold of you two and for all of us to meet here." They walked into the building.
"I wonder what she has to say to us." Rin said as they walked in an elevator and Rin pressed the 5th floor button.
"We'll find out soon enough."
"Yeah, hopefully it has nothing to do with our two month vacation."
"Who knows?"
The elevator stopped at the fifth floor, the girls walked out, down the hall, to the third door on the right, and opened Kaede's office door.
"Kaede-sama, you wanted to see us?" Rin said as they walked into the middium sized room.
"Hai, come in and have a seat." Kaede said sitting behind her desk.
"What did you call us here for?" Kagome said as they took their seats.
"I have a task for ye to do during your tour break."
"What do we have to do?" Sango asked.
"Well, ye have to find a few guys that are artist material and put them to the test. They must have good looks, doesn't matter if they're human or not, must not fear pupblisity, having good talant in singing, dancing, and playing insturments."
"Now why do you want us to find these guys?" Kagome said.
"It's all about the publisity."
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Take a look at this chart." Kaede places the chart in front of the girls. "Only 20% of the felmale population are fans."
"So what you're saying is that we add some guys to the band our popularity will rise."
"Hai. Kagome, you need to find a guy that is more hardheaded than yourself..."
"Kaede-sama! I'm not hardheaded!"
"Sorry, that thought was surpose to stay in my head." Kaede is cowarding behind her desk.
"Geez, clam down, even tho it's the truth." Sango said and the thought, 'Uh oh, I shouldn't of said that.'
"Sango!!!" Kagome gave her a dark glare with flames in her eyes as Sango joined Kaede.
"Whoa, Kagome cool it." Rin said.
"Are you going to say it as well?!" She said turning to Rin.
"NO! I know better than to say that." She said waving her hands in front of her.
"And why's that?"
"The proof's behind the desk." They both look behind the desk to see that Sango and Kaede quirvering in fear, both started laughing at them and took their seats.
"Is it safe to come out from hiding?" Sango and Kaede asked.
"Yeah." Rin said.
They both got up off the floor and back into their seats. (a/n- i felt like Kagome should have a little blow-up there)
"Ye will need three guys that is fearless especially of Kagome." She said as she got a glare from Kagome.
"Yeah, they'll need to." Sango said.
"Well is that all you wanted to talk to us about?" Kagome said.
"Hai. Practice well and I'll see ye at the stadium Saturday at 1pm."
"Okay Kaede-sama." They said and left the office.
They walked into the elevator, went down to the main floor and out to the cars.
"Great, now we get to waste our break on looking for some guys. This sucks." Kagome said as she unlocked her car.
"It might not all be a waste, you know." Sango said.
"Yeah, it sounds like fun. Who knows, you two might even find love."
"Oh and you already have?!" Kagome said.
"Uh, no." Rin said getting a little blush.
"Yeah right. Could it be you like that Shippo guy from school?!" Kagome begun to tease her once again.
"It could be you know. Rin's blush is getting darker." Sango said to Kagome.
"Well if it's not, then you wouldn't mind practicing with us at 7pm Friday night." She said knowing there's a dance at that time.
"Well I, uh, can't at that time."
"Why? Got a date or something?"
"Kind of. I was asked to the school dance today."
"By who?" Sango asked.
"By Shippo."
"I knew it." Kagome said.
"But we're going as friends and nothing more, okay."
"Okay. Hey Sango you wanna go to the bowling alley then?"
"Sure."
"Well lets get back to the mansion." Kagome said getting into her car.
"Okay, come on Rin." Rin nodded. She and Sango got into the other car and drove off.
Once they got to the mansion, Rin went right into the study room, like she did the day before, and got right onto her homework, while Sango sat down on the couch, watching television, and petting Kilala on her lap, Kagome came out of the kitchen with two cups of soda, handing one to Sango.
Else where, Shippo sat at the small table doing his homework as Inuyasha was stuffing his face with ramen and Miroku was sitting on the couch, in front of the television, watching the 5 o'clock news. As the news went to a commercial, Miroku turned his attention over to Shippo.
"So... Shippo, did you ask that new girl?"
"Yeah."
"And she said what?"
"She said sure without thinking about it. Aoi and Yuri must of told her about the dance before I was able to get to her."
Inuyasha is listening into the conversation with a bunch of noodles hanging from his mouth.
"Yeah, but the only thing that matters is that she said yes to you. So you finally got a girlfriend?"
"Shippo?! Having a girlfriend?! That's a first!" Inuyasha said.
"INUYASHA, YOU BAKA!!!" He yelled at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha placed his ramen down and walked over to Shippo hitting him on the head.
"OWW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He stood up to Inuyasha who gave a light growl. (a/n- Shippo is like 5'7", Inuyasha is about 6'3", and Miroku 6'0". Just to let you know.)
"FOR CALLING ME A BAKA, THAT'S WHAT!"
"WELL YOU ARE."
"WHY YOU LITTLE..." Inuyasha hit him a few more times.
"STOP IT!!! OR ELSE!"
"Or else what, runt?"
"Uh Inuyasha, I think this has gone far enough. He's not weak anymore, you know."
"Feh. Whatever. I'm letting you off easily." Inuyasha released Shippo from his grasp and walked over to the couch, flopping down next to Miroku.
"Now I'm gonna have a big headache." Shippo took two advils and went back to doing his homework. 'Stupid half-breed.'
