Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

---------------------------------------------

The day went by very slowly. The whole schools now knows that Inuyasha and I are dating, and they won't leave us alone! I promised Sango and Ayame that we would go shopping today after school, which is in 5 minutes. They said that they wanted to pick out the right prom dress for me that, in their words, would have every guy drooling over me. After a half hour of telling them no, they finally guilted me into it.

"Angel ready to go?"

I turned around to see Sango.

"Um...Yeah I just need to go to my locker before we go."

We left the class room right when the bell rung and headed for our lockers. I opened my locker and a piece of paper fell out, so I bent down and picked it up. The paper, which was a note, had my name on it so I put it in my pocket, deciding to read whatever it is later.

"Sango, what day is prom anyway?" I felt really dumb asking that question, since flyers were all over the school, but I had never taken the time to read them.

"This Friday." Sango replied absentmindedly.

I nodded and put the rest of my stuff in my locker. As we left the school, I found myself, not knowingly holding on to my necklace. I found myself doing this a lot since Inuyasha and I started going out, but I can't figure out why. With Inuyasha more in my life than usual, my life has been...happy, or at least as happy as it can get.

"Hey you two, over here!" Called Ayame from her car.

"We're coming, hold your horses."

We got in Ayame's car and sped off towards the mall.

"What color should her dress be?" I heard Sango ask.

"Hmm...I was thinking either a green or pink." Ayame replied.

"What about blue?"

"Oh I know! Blue, pink and green."

I drowned out the two girls' voices as the squealed over what my dress was going to look like. I suddenly remembered the note from my locker and took it out of my pocket.

Kagome,

I heard that Ayame and Sango were dragging you to the mall today. I know how...crazy they can get, so if you could find away to ditch them you could come and hang out with me. If you decide to do this, I'll be at the food court.

-Inuyasha.

I read the note over. One word stood out way more than the rest. My name. The word, or name, Kagome was decorated with all kinds of lines, which made it look very pretty. I could tell it took him longer to do that to my name then it probably did for him to right the note. I folded the note back up and put it back in my pocket, after deciding to ditch the girls for one day, after all they would understand.

Once we got to the mall, they dragged me to one of the largest dress shops in the mall and began running around like kids in a candy shop. I made an excuse that I had to go to the bathroom, and left towards the food court, where sure enough Inuyasha was waiting.

"How did you know I would come?" I asked once I was close enough.

"I know all too well how they are with shopping."

"Yeah, they over do it just a bit." I laughed at the understatement. "So what are we going to do?"

"Well, I was thinking we could go see that movie that we never got to see." He suggested.

I nodded thinking off the day he dumped Kikyo.

"I have a question first." I paused. "That day that we were suppose to go to the movies but we saw Kikyo there, did you really dump her for me?"

It was silent for a while and I didn't really expect him to answer but he proved me wrong when he spoke.

"I don't know actually. I guess you were part of the reason. You opened my eyes, and showed me who she really was, and before you did that I was oblivious."

I smiled at this. I was kinda greatful that Sango was right about that part.

"Can I ask you another question?" He nodded so I continued. "Why me? I mean, you are one of the most wanted guys in school, so why would you pick someone that was lingering on her past, and went mute on and off?"

"I guess because you interested me, and you were and are really easy to talk to. Being popular does have its perks, but when you stopped talking the second time, it fully opened my eyes."

I could tell this was all really hard for him to say, to state his feelings.

"One more question...Have you ever heard anyone by the last name of Omutaro?" I don't know why I asked that, but it just splured out. I shouldn't have asked that question because if he knew someone by that last name then I would be back to square one with Kouga.

"Omutaro?" I nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, one of my cousin's last name was Omutaro. I don't remember much about him other then he was stubbron, ignorant, and was in love with a Higurashi girl the last time I checked. I don't even know his first name though. Why do you ask?"

That right there made me freeze. Kouga Omutaro, was Inuyasha's cousin.

Sorry this is an extra short chapter but this will be the last shortest chapter for a while I promise. This chapter is only short because I have midterms that I have to study for, and I have other stuff that needs doing but the latest the next chapter will be up is the 25th.

Hope you liked the short chapter
