Chapter five
Her palms were sweaty and her throat was dry, she paced the backstage floor nervously wringing her hands, trying to keep are attention from shouts coming from the stage crew.
"Scene three: Snow white sleeps! Where's Kagome!"
Kagome felt her mind freeze, here it was, the most important scene that could either wreck the play or make it the best performance this school had every presented. Kagome had already gone through some difficult scenes but they weren't as emotion filled as this one, she didn't fully understand why she couldn't calm down.
"Kagome you're on!" The director s voice shouted into her ear before pushing her towards the stairs that lend on stage.
Kagome numbly stepped up the stairs; her hands were so sweaty she abandoned the thought of using the railing. A fairly sweaty hand grabbed her wrist from behind her.
Kagome's head spun around only to have her deep brown eyes meet two golden orbs.
"You'll do great." Inuyasha assured before giving a cough and correcting himself.
"Don't screw up Higurashi!"
"Gee thanks Inuyasha you're such a great motivational speaker." Kagome rolled her eyes finding a new confidence from his touch.
Her steps echoed throughout the gym, with each healed step she took… She swung her hips in a dancing motion before stopping in the center of the stage. Picking up a red apple from the ground she starred at it before smiling brightly.
"Such a delicious looking apple! The old woman must have dropped it, It wouldn't hurt for a bite!" Kagome let her teeth sink into the fruit and chewed on the juicy piece.
"So…. Tasty…" Kagome froze letting the apple drop onto the floor with a thud before her body fallowed.
She almost felt like giggling as people gasped in the ground in enjoyment. Her dress flowing like blankets of silk on the floor around her, she could hear the narrator explaining about how the prince had come across her in the forest.
She heard his deep force, softly speak to the audience, he was getting close to where she was lying on the ground… She could feel his shadow hover above here, she could hear him kneeling by her and when he said "kiss." Should could feel his hot breath on her lips and a force made her want to wrap her arms around him and take him right there.
She felt her heart skip a beat as he hovered over her lips, she felt like pulling his head down to hers in an amazing kiss, the crowd was restless as he just stood there frozen looking at her peaceful face. She kept hers eyes closed tightly, waiting for him but he never came. He starred at her pale skin, it was flawless, her long lashes fell closed and her lips were partly parted waiting for him. Kagome was about to open her eyes, wondering what had stopped the kiss when she felt his lips crash down onto hers. It was a more forceful kiss then she thought it would be, but his lips were so warm and soft she didn't care that he had taken advantage of the moment. Kagome fought back a whimper of disappointment as he pulled away, queuing her to slowly awaken.
He watched as her long lashes fluttered open, her eyes starred deep into his, emotions flying through them like a hurricane. He starred back not moving as the curtain closed.
"What are you thinking?" Inuyasha whispered out of nowhere as kagome just continued to stare at him.
'He kissed me… and I liked it… WAIT! HE KISSED ME AND I LIKED IT!... What are these… feelings…'
"Huh? I'm sorry what did you say?" Kagome asked as she closed her eyes, massaging her temples with her finger tips.
"Nothing…Never mind." He answered gruffly before leaving her to get ready for the next scene.
Inuyasha put his hands in his costume pants, they were baggy, navy blue flannel pants, with a baggy red flannel shirt and heavy golden vest. He walked slowly not even knowing where he was going, his ears were flattened slightly and he felt a hollow pain in his chest.
"She doesn't even notice me… I'm pathetic." He sighed deeply feeling his face heat up in anger.
"I'm acting like a love sick fool, and I Inuyasha do not do love." He growled before making his way back on stage for his "fight" scene.
Kagome watched as inuyasha's features changed drastically from confused to very pissed off.
'What is going through his head…?' She thought before making her way over to the stage stairs before her cue to go on came.
Kagome felt the push from the director for the last scene, kagome jogged up the stairs and ran onto the stage running into inuyasha's arms.
"You managed to beat the evil witch without a scratch! I shall repay you for awakening me my prince with a kiss." Kagome gushed as she saw inuyasha's eyes twinkle in entertainment.
She leaned up and gently kissed him on the lips, she could hear the curtains closing but everything else was blocked out as her lips moved with his. His arms found their way around her waist as hers were pressing lightly against his back. His tongue caressed her bottom lip begging for entrance.
Kagome's ears buzzed as the sound returned making waves in her mind, whispers were heard around her and the feel of Inuyasha tongue in her mouth made her whole body feel like she was engulfed in flames.
Tears streamed down her face as she pushed herself away from Inuyasha, her angry eyes locked once more onto his confused golden eyes.
"Kagome…" His hand raised to wipe a tear away but a loud slap was heard as her hand connected with his face.
She slowly backed away from him as his eyes glazed over in pain and anger, tears still streaming down her face she turned and ran, people bumping her as she passed.
'I hate him… I HATE HIM!' She screamed in her mind as she ran out of the back door from the school and onto the parking lot, her dress was thin and she could feel the chill from the night air, the night air made the tears that were running down her face freeze her skin even more so then the thin dress.
'Why do you hate him so much.' The voice that had been taunting her the day before returned but spoke more softly into her ear.
'I hate him…. I hate him because…. Because…'
'because he's perfect? Because he's the only guy that's actually tried? the only guy that actually might care?'
'Him care! Ha he's just a pig!'
' or maybe that's all you've thought of him… ever notice how he hasn't had a girlfriend for two years? And how he just won't leave you alone? The way he stares at you, the way he perks up when he talks to you? Even when you're putting him down?'
"NO STOP IT! I HATE HIM!" kagome screamed as she covered her ears falling onto her knees in the deserted parking lot.
'No, I think you like him… no I think you love him! And you know why? Because he's just like you.'
"Just get out… get out of my mind… leave me alone…" Kagome whispered to herself as the tears poured down her face and the night air chilled her already numb body.
Next time on promiscuous:
Her head was pounding like she had a major hang over, her vision was blurred but she could feel the weight of someone on her lap. Shaking her head from all dirty or sexual thoughts of what might have happened last night with this stranger she waited for her vision to clear, but when it did she wished it hadn't.
Lying on her lap was the silver haired boy she had taught herself to hate.
He yawned a few times to her horror before lifting his head up and starring at his eyes still glazed over in sleep.
"You're awake… how you feeling?" Inuyasha yawned before leaning and stretching.
Kagome screamed in rage before letting her hand fly across his face.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME LAST NIGHT!"
