Kidding.

Willus, what you talkin' bout.
Well, Have fun with this chapter!
Chapter 8
Souta stared down at his notebook paper.
'15 more questions to go!' he told himself eagerly as he glanced back at his math textbook. Mama had said that he couldn't go see his friends until he had finished his homework. They had invited him to their house to play a new video game that they had gotten. Souta was anxious. He had been waiting to play that game ever since it came out at $50. He sat at the kitchen table, staring so intently, hardly able to concentrate on the work.
"Where's Kagome!" Came a sudden and vaguely irritated voice. Kagome's big yellow bag dropped onto the table.
"AGH!" Cried the surprised elementary school boy as he jumped and toppled right out of his chair and onto the tiled floor.
"Inuyasha!" He exclaimed, staring up and the half-demon who stood over him, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yeah, yeah, so where is she?" Inuyasha asked again, getting more irritated by the second.
"Uh...she, uh, went to the prom..." Souta said, not moving from his position on the floor. His heart was still beating rapidly.
"Alone..." He added, a strange look in his eye. It seemed as though Souta had been trying to hook the two up for quite some time now. Perhaps it was that this boy looked up to Inuyasha so much, admired him so much, that he actually liked idea of Inuyasha becoming his "big brother".
Inuyasha bent low and grasped Souta but the back of the shirt and lifted him into the air. He brought his face close to Souta's and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"...What do you mean, alone?" He asked, his mouth small and his eyes narrowed.
"I thought she went with that hobo guy." He added, his expression never changing.
Souta hung there, rather used to how Inuyasha treated him. He kind of liked it, at least somewhat. It was even a little fun being lifted around and such by him.
"You mean Hojou? No! He got sick at the last minute and couldn't go!" Souta informed, wiggling a little.
"Feh! I knew he'd bail on her some day!" Inuyasha said, dropping Souta to his feet.
"Yeah...You know...you could...well...my mom has a suit in her closet that used to be our father's..." Souta said in a cautious voice. He knew about Inuyasha's short temper to offending suggestions.
The hanyou stared curiously at Kagome's younger brother.
"What you gettin' at?" He asked, his eyes narrowed again and his arms crossed over his chest as before.
"Well..." Souta said, giving Inuyasha an odd look that pretty much told it all.
"NO WAY! UNH-UH AM I GOIN' OUT THERE AND-"
----------
"See! I think you look cool!" Souta exclaimed, admiring Inuyasha in the mirror.
Inuyasha wriggled uncomfortably in the tight, light gray suit.
"It's too small!" He complained, trying to loosen the suit somewhat.
"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? IT'S CHOKING ME!" He complained again, tugging at the bright red tie that was secured tightly around his neck.
"It's a tie! You'll get used to it, don't worry!" Souta assured him, smiling greatly.
"I can't believe this..." Inuyasha grumbled, his cheeks a little pink.
"Don't worry! Kagome's gonna love this!" Souta shouted, happily.
'That's right...I came here to cheer up Kagome...But also to get her to come back to the feudal realm.' Inuyasha thought as he stared at his reflection. He thought he looked rather silly...which he did...The suit was awfully tight, a result of Inuyasha being more muscular than the one who originally owned the suit.
"Ain't I 'sposed to dance at this prom thing?" Inuyasha asked, dreading the answer.
"Well...Yeah...but...I could teach you-" Souta was soon interrupted by Inuyasha's sudden outburst.
"YOU MEAN, NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO WEAR THESE STUPID CLOTHES, BUT I GOTTA DANCE AROUND IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF FREAKS, TOO?" He exclaimed.
'This just keeps gettin' worse and worse...' He told himself, frowning into the mirror.
'Well, Inuyasha, boy...you'll never live this down...'
