29- The Dance
Friday. The long awaited day for many of the students at Kagome's high school had arrived. Kagome was so happy that she practically sang, as she got ready for school that morning, combing her hair thoroughly and making sure that her clothes were not wrinkled too much. She put on a locket necklace that her mother had given her when she was younger. It had a picture of both her and Inuyasha in it.
She finished getting ready and had just picked up her belonging when the doorbell rang. She went and answered it to find Inuyasha. He grinned down at her and said, "You ready to go? Damn, you look good today. Then again, you look good every day."
She blushed and closed and locked the door behind them as they left. The air was not as cold as it usually had been. "Thank you," She said.
He kissed her on the forehead, "You're welcome."
When they arrived at school, Sango and Miroku and Rin raced over to join them. Shiori even came over, as well. The girls told the guys that they had some talking to do about the dance and that they would see them later. Miroku and Inuyasha simply shrugged and left. They went over to talk with someone else.
"How are we going to do this?" Sango asked.
"I don't know," Kagome answered.
"I know!" Shiori exclaimed, "How about we all go to Kagome's house after school and, I don't know, get ready there?"
"Hey, I like that." Rin commented.
"I guess we could do that," Kagome said slowly and thoughtfully. "My mom isn't home, anyway."
"Could we also spend the night?" Sango asked, causing the other girls to beg as well. "We could have an all girls sleepover or something."
"Well…" Kagome sighed, her face showing uncertainty.
"Pleassseee?" Sango, Rin, and Shiori begged in unison.
Kagome laughed, "I guess so," She finally answered. "But you have to leave in the morning just in case my mom comes back. I don't know when she's coming back."
"Hooray!" Her three friends shouted in unison.
Kagome rolled her chocolate eyes and said, "We've gotta go. Come on." With that, they all split up and went to their classes.

Kagome's day was going by surprisingly fast. She understood everything in her first classes, was not pushed around by anyone, and, she found that Naraku was not looking at her as much as he had been for the past two days. Or maybe he was waiting until she was not looking at him to give her lustful looks?
Lunchtime arrived and Kagome got her lunch and sat down at her usual spot at the usual table. Inuyasha sat down next to her and they began talking and eating. Pretty soon afterward, Sango and Miroku, Rin and Shiori arrived and they all started discussing the dance and what they would do over the weekend.
"We're going to Kagome's house for a sleepover," Rin said to Inuyasha, who looked down at Kagome quizzically.
"Oh, I see," He said, mock anger, "Invite them and not me."
Kagome rolled her eyes and said, "You can come, too." And looked at the other girls.
"Can I come?" Miroku inquired, looking at the young girl with bright eyes. "Please? I don't want to be alone tonight!"
Kagome laughed, "Fine, you can come. But, you're sleeping with Sango."
"What happened to an all girls' night?" Rin wanted to know, looking at Kagome from where she sat, munching on chips. "That's what we agreed to, right?"
Kagome frowned, "You're not mad about these two clowns spending the night, are you, Rin? I mean they're totally harmless." She laughed at her little joke.
Rin smiled brightly, "Nah, I'm not mad."
Grinning, Kagome went on and began conversing with her friends. Had she not been conversing, she would have noticed Kikyo whispering something to her posse of whores. And, had she not been talking, she would have noticed that Naraku was continuing with his lustful and desirable looks.

"Finally!" Kagome breathed in relief. School was over and she, along with Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Rin were heading toward her house to prepare for the dance that was soon to come with in a matter of an hour. "I thought school would never end!"
"I know," Sango agreed. She was walking behind her friend, holding Miroku's hand. Rin was lagging in the back while Inuyasha and Kagome took the front, holding onto one another as if they could not be separated.
Once they arrived at Kagome's home, she unlocked the door and let them all in while she and the girls raced up to the room to get ready. A little over a half an hour later, they emerged from upstairs.
Sango wore a pink tube-top, her outfit complete with earrings and light pink eye shadow. Her blue jeans were very tight, exposing her rear end.
Rin wore a blue tank top with dangling earrings and blush and silvery eye shadow. Her jeans were a little loose.
Kagome were a green sleeveless shirt that had a string that wrapped around her neck. Her jeans were baggy and had holes in the knees. She wore no eye shadow, only a little blush and hoop earrings.
The two guys sat on the couch as they girls came in and asked in unison, "What do you boys think?"
The guys' mouths dropped open in awe as they gawked up at the three girls who were modeling for them. Kagome laughed, "I think they like it, don't you girls think so?"
"I do." Sango said.
"Yep. They definitely do." Rin added.
Looking at her watch, Kagome said, "Come on, guys, we have to go." She then grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and dragged him up from the couch and outside, where the others joined them. Kagome locked the door and they left, proceeding toward the school to attend the dance.
Once there, they saw how awesome it seemed. The loud music pulsated throughout the gymnasium where the dancing floor was. You could get snacks and drinks from the cafeteria. There were bright disco lights that shimmered and rotated around, filling the gym with rainbow lights. The DJ was playing the music and taking requests, stopping every now and then to say something into a microphone.
Kagome and Sango and Rin went out into the crowd and began dancing, their bodies twisting with the beat of the song. Inuyasha and Miroku watched from a short distance away as the girls swung their hips to and fro. Inuyasha felt himself getting excited as he watched Kagome's curvy body dancing to the song. He wanted to hold her again like he had that night when he claimed her as his. He remained where he was, however, and watched as they finished dancing when the song ended.
Kagome walked over to him and sat down beside him, panting from having dancing so hard. Sango had sat with Miroku and Rin just sort of kept her distance. This was their dance, she knew. Even though she and Sesshomaru were very tight with one another now, she felt a little lonely. Maybe it was because Sesshomaru no longer went to school, so he could not attend the dance.
A slow song came on suddenly, filling the entire gym as the bass boomed. Kagome's eyes brightened and she grabbed Inuyasha and pulled him out onto the dance floor in the back of the gym so they could avoid the crowd. This was her first slow dance and she wanted it to be perfect.
And perfect it was. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and she held hers around his neck. They danced slowly, both feeling awkward due to never having ever done that before.
"This feels weird," Inuyasha finally admitted, his face a little red. It was a good thing that it was dark in the gym, other than the disco lights, or else Kagome would have seen him blushing. "This is my first slow dance."
Kagome smiled kindly and understandingly, "Mine, too."
Inuyasha looked shocked. Kagome was so beautiful and she could have any person that she desired. She was so nice and sweet. Why had she not had anyone else other than himself? Well, she had had Koga, but he dumped her because of a stupid accusation that he had in his mind.
Maybe she had not had anyone because she did not want anyone. Who knew?
The song came to an end and Inuyasha sat down on one of the bleachers that they had set up in the gym. "I'm going to get something to drink. I think Sango and the others are in there, too. Be right back." And with that, she turned and left the gym.
Not too far off, Kikyo whispered something to Kagura, Kanna, and some of her other friends. They nodded and followed her as she got up and walked over to an unsuspecting Inuyasha.
They sat on all sides of him, behind him, as well. He chose to ignore their presence and wait for Kagome.
As soon as Kikyo saw Kagome coming into the gym, she flung her arms around Inuyasha, her friends following her actions. "Oh, Inuyasha, I can't believe that you dumped Kagome just to come for me and my friends!" She gushed, very loudly. So loud that, even before Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, she had heard it. After hearing his name and hers, she looked up and seen many girls hugging all over Inuyasha. They were massaging his chest, rubbing his legs and holding his hands. And Inuyasha just sat there, allowing them to touch him!
Her heart shattered and tears stung her eyes. She tried to keep them from falling and remain strong, but they dripped down her cheeks, anyway. She wanted to scream, but her voice would not work. She continued to watch, unable to run back to Sango and the others for comfort. Kikyo ran her hands down his back and wrapped them around his waist, massaging his chest.
Kagome gulped back a sob and felt more tears stream down her face. Finally, she managed to scream, "I see how you want to be now, Inuyasha! You only wanted what I had, you player!" She shouted so loud that it caught the attention of some other dancers, who looked over at the shouting girl curiously.
Inuyasha snapped out of his daze and looked up at her, astonished. "No, Kagome, it's not-"
She cut him off, "Just shut up! I don't want to talk to you ever again!" She had no idea where these words were coming from, but they kept flowing freely from her mouth, just as her tears did.
After yelling that, Kagome turned and raced away through one of the doors that were in the gym that led outside. Once outside in the cold, night air, Kagome ran as fast as she could toward home. He had tricked her twice already and the first time he had claimed that he was set up. But now, she was not going to fall for any more of his tricks. She was sick of being hurt and only longed to be alone.
Inuyasha watched on in surprise as the girl he loved fled from the school. He was getting curious glanced from other people, but the music played on and they went on about their business. He shoved Kikyo and her friends off of him and cussed them out before heading to the cafeteria to tell the others that Kagome was not going to have a sleep over that night.
Naraku, who had been watching the entire scene play out before him, smiled deviously. He watched as Inuyasha left Kikyo and her friends pouting on the bleachers. Then, he made his way out of a different door. He had something much better to do…
