Cheerleading Chaos

Kagome gathered her belongings from her locker and guided herself to the auditorium, where the cheerleading try-outs were taking place. Girls were flipping and cart wheeling all across the floor platform. Kagome set down her bag and sat on the floor. She stretched her arms out to reach her toes. Kagome had a limber, stretchy body. She could do anything to everything.

As she stretched her stomach to the cold floor, a face staring through the auditorium window caught her eye. It was Inuyasha.

'Why would Inuyasha be here? Why is he so interested? Did he come here just to see me?'

Inuyasha casually entered the cheerleading frenzy and stopped in front of a blonde, thin cheerleader sitting on a bench. He lifted her up like a child and swung her around. Inuyasha pulled her towards him and puckered up for a tender, one minute kiss. He held her cozily.

'What does she have that I don't?!' Kagome complained to herself.

She sadly watched the couple walk to the bench, holding hands, and passing smiles back and forth.

"Let's go girls! Get a move on it!" The cheerleading coach appeared out of nowhere and drowsily sat down in her rolling chair next to the judge desk.

"First one up, Dana!" She shouted.

The girl shakily slid to the front of the crowd. She began her one and only practiced cheer.

"Come on guys, you can do it!" Dana confidently twisted into a rubber band and flipped 5 times in a row. On her 4th flip, she landed face first on the coach's wooden judging desk. She lies limp only to find out that she was rejected.

'Poor, poor Dana!'

"Next is…." Coach glanced at her cheerleader try-out list. "Next is Kagome."

Kagome took a last glance at Inuyasha, who was looking straight at her. His little girlfriend seemed pretty frustrated that he was not paying attention to her.

'Kagome, Inuyasha is watching. You can do this.'

She skipped to her stage and did her best preppy dance ever. She hopped, and danced, and smiled so much she felt like her jaw would break. Her flips resulted in perfect landing and her dance moves left the other girls in awe. She skipped back to the bench, her hair flowing weightlessly behind her body. She grabbed her Zephyr Hills Water bottle and gulped furiously. Inuyasha took a few steps and grabbed Kagome's little hand, pulling her up to his height.

"You did very well." He seemed really flirty around Kagome, which made her feel beautiful.

"Maybe we could get together sometime. 8:00, Seafood Café, tonight, you, me, and a romantic dinner?" Inuyasha was getting really into Kagome.

"Sure, Inuyasha. But you will have to pick me up." Kagome said in her normal tone. She didn't want to sound desperate.

Inuyasha pulled her comfortably into his arms and embraced her sweetly. He whispered into her ear, "Thank you for giving me a chance….." He let go of her and waved goodbye.
