I took my dress out of my closet and went into the bathroom to get dressed. After I got dressed I put on light pink eye shadow, black mascara, and clear lip gloss. Next I curled my hair and then put it up in a ponytail letting a few curls outline my face. I looked in the mirror and made a few minor adjustments and when I was finally statified with my look I put on my shoes, and right then the door bell rang.
"Coming." I called as I grabbed my purse and went down stairs.
I opened the door to reveal Inuyasha, here to pick me up for prom.
"Hi."
"H-Hi. You look...wow."
I smiled and giggled softly at his expression, it was priceless. I guess the girls were right when they said he would be drooling.
"You ready to go?" I asked waving a hand in front of his face.
"Yeah."
We laced our fingers together and headed out the door.
"A limo?"
"I rented it for prom." He said sheepishly.
"Wow." That was all I could say as I looked at the black, shiny limo before me.
"Well, let's go."
We got in the limo and the driver drove us off towards school. I looked over at Inuyasha and took in what he was wearing. He was wearing a plain black tux, and although it was plain it made him look even more hot than he already was.
When we got to school, Inuyasha opened my door for me, trying to act like a gentelman he knew he would never be, and led me into the school. The gym was decorated with a disco ball, and streamers. From first glance you could hardly tell it was a gym at all. When we walked in Ayame and Sango said a quick hello and let us be. Sango and Miroku of course went to prom together and Ayame was there with someone I've never met before. Kikyo was there dancing in the middle of a group of guys, who were all staring at her like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Wanna dance?" Inuyasha asked me just as the song What Hurts the Most (Cascada) came on.
"Sure."
I took his hand and he led me to the middle of the dance floor. He put his hands gently around my waist, while my hands were around his neck. While we swayed to the song, I remembered when I listened to this song last. It was when I finally decided to tell Inuyasha the rest of my past. Ever since I met Inuyasha, he has always been there for me.
After the song ended, we parted and went over to the punch table to get something to drink.
"Hey Angel." Sango greeted. "Was he gawking at you like we said he would?" She whispered to me so Inuyasha couldn't hear.
"Yes." I said while rolling my eyes. "Don't get too big headed over it though."
"I won't."
She smiled mischieviously and went over to Ayame and whispered something to her. After she said whatever she said, Ayame too smiled michieviously. I was suspicious but decided to let it slide.
After about the 10th song, someone came on over the loud speaker.
"We would like to announce the canidates for tonights prom King and Queen...For Queen...Kikyo Hashomi...Sango Tainji...and Kagome Higurashi.For King...Miroku Hoishi...Hitoimi Lerin...and Inuyasha Takahashi."
I looked over at Ayame who just stared back with that same smile on her face. She did this to me. Sango looked just as surprised as I felt, and Kikyo, being concieted as she is, acted like she knew this was going to happen all along.. I turned my attention back to Inuyasha, who took my hand and led me on stage along with all of the other King/Queen canidates.
"There are voting tables at each side of the gym. Please vote for one girl and one boy to become the King and Queen who will recieve a Tiarra or Crown, and a spot light dance."
A lined formed at each side of the gym. I knew I wouldn't win, mostly because I knew Kikyo would. I, honestly, didn't want to win. I knew if I did I would find some way to embarress myself, and I didn't want that to happen.
About 5 minutes later, a teacher brought up an evelope with the results. I could see Kikyo crossing her fingers. Sango was just sitting there staring at the rest of the people, and the boys were doing the same.
"This years King is...Miroku Hoishi!"
There was a bunch of cheering as Miroku stepped forward. Sango sent him a smile. The placed the crown on the top of his head and went back to the microphone.
"And this years Queen is...Kagome Higurashi!"
My mouth dropped open as my name left the announcers mouth. Inuyasha and Sango both pushed me forward, both with reassurring smiles on their faces. I walked forward and Miroku placed the silver tiarra on my head. He held out his hand which I reluctantly took, and he led me to the middle of the dance floor. Everyone was watching as we walked to the heart of the gym, but only one face stuck out; Ayame's. She was smiling, the smile that you have when you completed something hard, and from the looks of it, she didn't have to do much. She wanted me to be prom Queen, and most likely she wanted Inuyasha to be prom King. Only half of her plan worked and it just had to be the part that I was in.
A spot light was pointed on Miroku and I as a slow song that I was totally oblivous to, started. I put my hands around his neck and his fell apon my waist. We began dancing, and after a while, others around us began dancing too. I could see Sango and Inuyasha sitting on the chairs secluded to the side. They were both watching Miroku and I. Neither of them looked dissappointed that their date was dancing in the arms of another person, probably because it was their best friend.
The song seemed to last an eternity. When it finally ended Miroku took my hand and led me back over to where Inuyasha and Sango were sitting. When we got there he let go of my hand in exchange for Sango's and in the place of his hand, was Inuyasha's. I smiled up at him glad to be back, close to him.
"Come on." Inuyasha walked me to the doors.
I didn't question where we were going, or if we were coming back; I just followed. Before I knew it we were at the park that I came to when I was mad at Inuyasha for ditching me. We went over to the swings and I sat down as he began lightly pushing me.
After about 2 minutes of silence, he stopped the swing and sat down next to me.
"Did you have fun tonight?" I asked breaking the silence.
"Yeah, execpt the part where Miroku became prom King."
"Why? You wanted the crown?" I asked jokingly.
"No. I was jealous. He got to dance with you."
I laughed. That sentence sounded so silly, but I understood what he meant.
"So you wanted to dance in front of the whole school, where a crown, and under a spot light?"
"With you in my arms." He added smirking.
"So the great Inuyasha was jealous." I stated.
"Yeah."
There was a long pause before he stated speaking again.
"I have something for you." He told me as he reached into his pocket. "Close your eyes."
I did as I was told, and I heard him come behind me. A felt something go around my neck.
"Open."
I looked down to see a silver locket, along with the one Koga gave me that I never took off. I opened the locket Inuyasha put on me to reveal two pictures. One was of us almost kissing at the skating rink, and the other was taken recently because it was of us dancing at the prom.
"Inuyasha I love it!"
I gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek.
"Where did you get those pictures though?" I asked curiously.
"Sango likes taking pictures." He stated simply.
"I guess."
He smiled down on me for a few seconds before capturing my lips in a passionate kiss. He licked the bottom of my lip, asking for an entrance which I granted. When our lungs demanded air we parted. I looked into his eyes, a million thougths flouding my mind. I was thinking of everything from the murder of my family and Kouga, until right now, standing here in Inuyasha's arms, getting lost in his amber eyes.
I looked down at the two lockets that were around my neck. One was an off gold color, colored by time, the other was a gleaming silver that had been through no such time. I brought my hands to the back of my neck and un-did one of the claspes, that belonged to the locket I was removing. I took the off gold, locket off my neck and played with it in my hands. The two lockets represented my life. The gold one had been of my first love, and hard past, and the silver...The silver is of my love that is just begining.
"Why did you take it off?" Inuyasha asked puzzeled.
"I don't need to hold on to my past anymore."
Inuyasha smiled as he looked at my hands that held the locket of my past.
"I'll never forget him." I stated. "But I can move on."
Inuyasha held me close, and I rested my head on his chest. One prom, one tiarra, one boy, one girl, one past, and two lockets...That was all that I needed to make me be who I am.
