Holy Crow! I totally love you peoples! I got 18 reviews last chapter! I am really surprised!
Also I would like to give Random Mizer a shout out for telling me the mini manga that my story is based off of. It is called Romantic Egoist by Hatori Bisco. It is featured in Volume 2 of Ouran High school Host Club.
You know I feel really stupid for not realizing that, mainly because I have a copy of it. Heh Heh. Anyway enjoy!
A Lovely Mix Up
Chapter 3: Will You Go Out With Me?
Disclaimer: I DON"T OWN INUYASHA!
"It's just a load of crap right? I mean potions don't exist and tents don't just suddenly disappear like that."
Kagome glared at the bottle residing on her bedside table.
"But… I might as well try. I mean what's to lose? Right?"
Kagome snatched up the potion book that the potion had been set on.
Kagome peered at the index and skimmed through the pages until she came upon the directions on how to use the concoction.
Step One: Place drop into your partner and your own drink
Step Two: Have you and your partner drink the concoction.
Step Three: The potion should start working automatically. It should wear off in about two weeks-
"Alright. That doesn't seem too hard…." Kagome smiled as she sat the book back onto the desk.
She stretched and walked to her dresser to grab a pair of pajama bottoms and a white tank top.
She was still totally drenched and need a shower very badly, mostly because she was freezing.
She sighed as the shower warmed her frozen body.
'I really hope that tomorrow goes as planned. If not well then… it'll go back to like it was before, I guess.' She shut her eyes tightly at the thought.
'No even if it doesn't work he'll finally know who I am. That's something right?'
Kagome got out of her blistering shower, toweled off, put on her pjs, and went to bed.
'Yeah tomorrow will make things different.'
With that she fell asleep.
Beep . . . Beep . . . Be- SMACK!
Kagome growled and squinted at the annoying alarm clock.
7:54 AM
"HOLY CRAP! I AM SO LATE!" Kagome scurried around her room finding all of her belongings.
She threw on her school uniform, brushed her teeth and combed her hair, grabbed her book bag and a granola door in less than 2 minutes.
"Oh know I forgot the potion!" Kagome squealed and ran back to her house, up the stairs, grabbed the heart shaped bottle, and sprinted to school.
She arrived at school when the bell rang.
'Oh no I'm late!'
She darted through the school doors and to Classroom 11B, Biology.
Kagome slammed the door open and gasped for air.
It is nice of you to join us Ms. Higurashi." Mr. Yamato stated sternly.
Kagome groaned, "This is so not my day . . . again . . ."
She sighed and slumped into her seat shamefully.
"Now as I was saying. Today class is the annual school meet that we have very year with the local schools. There are a couple people that have been chosen to partake in this joyous event that will be held on our school grounds, this year." Mr. Yamato pushed up his glasses at the end of each sentence.
"The people that have been chosen are: Jakotsu Yamachi, Koga Ookami, Ayumi Mitsuki, Sango Taijya, Yuka Ai, Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha Taisho, Bankotsu Yamachi (Bankotsu and Jakotsu are brothers), and Ayame Ookami (Koga and Ayame are engaged, so they just say the same last name).
'Oh my gosh! This is totally perfect! I'll be able to give Hojo the potion sooner than I thought.' She sighed dreamily and stared into space.
One pair of amber eyes watched suspiciously, unbeknownst to her.
"Kagome! Are you even listening to me?" yelled Kagome's best friend into her ear.
"Oh sorry Sango. What were you saying?" Kagome asked now snapped out of her trance.
"Grr… I said what kinda bogus shit is this. Making us go to this stupid, get together."
"I actually think it is pretty neat." Kagome said dreamily.
Sango groaned and slapped a hand to her face, but then smirked.
"Ah… You think Akitoki is gonna be there dontcha?" she mocked.
"Shh! Sango shut up! Not in front of the teacher" Kagome shushed.
They were currently setting up for the private get together on the main grounds. Sango and Kagome were hanging paper lanterns around the area to give it a more festive look.
Sango handed Kagome another lantern from the box and Kagome hung them on the thin rope that enveloped the grounds.
"So what is this whole plan that you have been day dreaming about all day?" Sango asked while handing her another lantern.
"Well… to put it simply… I am going to give him a love potion and pour it in his punch." Kagome stated simply.
Sango laughed "A Love Potion? You know those aren't real right?"
"I know that, but it is worth a shot." Kagome said tearfully.
"Oh Kagome. I am just saying that he is not worth it if he doesn't even know you exist and a love potion won't change that." Sango said truthfully. "I am gonna go grab more lanterns. Be right back."
"M'kay."
'Hmm. Maybe Sango's right. Maybe I shouldn't even bother.' Kagome shook her head violently.
'No I love him to much to forget him!'
Kagome punched a hand in the air for confidence, but she forgot that she currently needed that hand to hold her up on the ladder.
"Ahh!" she squinted her eyes closed waiting for her inevitable demise.
Except instead of hitting a hard uneven surface, she fell in something soft and warm.
Kagome opened one eye to see two amber orbs staring back at her.
"Taisho-kun?" Kagome said blinking rapidly.
"Klutzy Wench. If I hadn't of been here you'd be dead right now." Inuyasha scoffed as he held her tight in his grasp.
Kagome blushed.
And of course the Tessaiga Boy's Academy arrives right then.
Hojo walked in first followed by a couple of what looked to be his lackeys. Kagome squeals and tries to escape from Inuyasha's grasp.
"Let me down! Let me down! He is going to see me!" she whispered harshly as he complied.
"Jeez Higurashi . . . You're welcome." Inuyasha said harshly, his eyes hard, as he walked back to his duties, placing his headphones in his ears in the process.
Kagome didn't pay him any attention as she stared at her crush dreamily.
"Keh."
"Kagome I brought more lanterns. And why was Inu- . . . Oh my gosh! It's him isn't it!"
Kagome nodded as she sorted through her plan in her head.
'Okay all I have to do is slip one drop into his drink. I already drank mine so this should be easy.'
Mr. Yamato cleared his throat signaling everyone to quiet down and get ready for the feast.
Kagome breathed in even breaths, trying to calm herself down, as Yamato-sensei talked about how our small school was doing "so" well in their studies.
After the announcement everyone got up to grab some food. Luckily Kagome had volunteered to run the punch bowl, so she could "fix" Hojo's punch.
He was towards the back of the line, so Kagome had plenty of time to prepare.
Sango was also helping with the punch bowl, so Kagome had time to make the "special" concoction.
She dropped in the rest of the bottle of the pink liquid in the cup, it fizzled and blew out some steam for a second before looking back to be the regular punch. She set it to the side of the punch bowl so that she would remember where she put it.
Kagome looked towards where Hojo was standing and saw he was almost to the front of the line.
Kagome looked back to the bowl and gasped.
Sango must have accidentally placed another cup next to her special one.
Kagome panicked as Hojo appeared at the front of the line and held out a hand signaling that he wanted some punch.
Kagome groaned and picked up the one on the left. Hey it was a 50/50 chance.
Hojo smiled and left leaving Kagome feeling woozy.
Kagome watched him anxiously as he sipped at his drink. He looked at it strangely for a second before shrugging and drinking it again.
She had picked the wrong one.
Kagome sighed and knew that that was her only chance to have got his attention.
Just then a strong looking arm reached over her shoulder and grabbed the real drink and pulled it away.
"Thanks Higurashi." Inuyasha said as he placed the cup to his lips.
Kagome's eyes grew huge and she waved her hands back and forth.
"No! Don't drink that it's-" it was to late.
He looked at her strangely for a second before downing the entire drink.
'Oh no!'
Inuyasha smacked his lips together and looked at Kagome with a strange expression on his face.
He dropped the cup and it hit the cement with a clang.
"Higurashi . . . Will You Go Out With Me?"
Uh oh! Inuyasha drank it! Oh my gosh! Who saw that coming? Just kidding! So was it good? Bad? Let me know in a review! I love them!
Love Ya Lots,
Lil-Neko
