Chapter 14:

[Kagome Point of View]

Thursday had zoomed by, and Friday, the day of the dance, was finally here.

The last bell rang, and I ran out of the art room, ready to meet up with Sango. She had somehow beat me to the steps though, but regardless, I smiled and walked over to her.

"Ready for your meet?" I asked, remembering the human meet was right after school. She nodded.

"Yea, ready for the dance?" She questioned. I laughed slightly. I was a little nervous, but excited at the same time.

"Totally."

We made our descent down the stairs to where the guys were waiting for us like always. We came to stand beside them and I smiled, ready to get going.

Miroku smiled as Sango came down the steps, and once she was standing beside him, he took her by the hand and startled to lead her down the hall.

"Coach said for all of us to get to the locker rooms," He explained. He looked up from Sango and at Inuyasha and I. "See you later, guys!" He called before disappearing around the corner. Inuyasha chuckled before turning to me.

"Best go ahead and find good seats before they're all taken," He said, looping his arm through mine. I smiled, the blush evident on my face, and we walked towards the doors that lead to the track.

?

We were outside for maybe 30 minutes, discussing the random topic of how blue berries weren't really blue. Or at least I thought so, Inuyasha was bent on the whole 'if they weren't blue, they wouldn't be called blueberries' thing.

Anyways, we stopped our conversation when the human team came out onto the field and the load-speaker came on.

"Welcome to the Human meet against Matsudo High. 100 to the line, 100 to the line"

The speaker clicked off and from the bleachers, you could see the runners move to take their places at the line.

"I'm still kinda pissed that Koga beat me," Inuyasha muttered.

"There's no need, as long as you kick his butt next time, it's all good, right?" I asked. Inuyasha stared at me for a moment before smiling and nodding.

"Right."

The gun went off and we turned our attention back to the meet.

When the meet was over, we all went to the café as usual. Sango had come in first in everything she participated in, and Miroku came in second in his.

"I can't wait for the dance!" Sango said before picking up her Pepsi and taking a sip. I nodded.

"Yep, it'll be so much fun!" I agreed, picking up a fry. Miroku sat beside of Sango, his head on the table in shame because he came in second…guess these boys had more pride then I originally thought. Inuyasha sat beside of me, his hands behind his head. I turned to look at him "What about you Inuyasha?"

"I'm only excited cause I'm going with you, dances aren't particularly my idea of fun," He told me.

"Oh, well are you sure you want to go? I mean since you don't like dances and everything," I said. He shook his head.

"Nah, I don't mind, one night ain't gonna kill me."

"Thanks," I told him. He opened one eye and looked at me.

"No problem."

"I can't believe I lost," Miroku groaned and we all laughed at his wonderful timing.

?

I sat on Sango's bed, watching as she's paced back and forth, her purple dress swooshing as she walked.

"I'm kinda nervous, are you nervous? You don't look very nervous, why aren't you that nervous cause I—"

"Sango!" I said, laughing. She stopped pacing and looked at me. "It'll be fine. You look great! You sound like a bride getting cold feet!"

She sighed and smiled, coming to sit beside me.

"Yea, you're right." She leaned over at hugged me around the shoulders. "And Kagome," She said, whispering in my ear.

"Hmm?"

"Inuyasha's gonna wag his tail when he sees you," She said, laughing as I pushed her away.

"Oh, whatever! It's nothing that special."

I had on a red halter top, a dark wash skirt, and a pair of Sango's black high-heels.

"Keep telling yourself that, and you just might believe it," Sango said, standing up and walking over to her computer desk. She picked up her handbag and turned to look at me. "Ready?"

I nodded, and together, we walked out on our way to the dance

[Inuyasha Point of View]

I ran my fingers through my silver hair as I sat on my bed in my room.

"Come on, Inu," Miroku said. "It'll be perfectly fine."

"And how do you know?" I asked, leaning back against the headboard of my bed.

"Well," Miroku said, sitting beside me. "She's told you before that she's perfectly fine with you being a half-demon, right?" He asked. I just nodded in response. I didn't look away from the ceiling as he continued. "And she said yes, after all, didn't she?" He said. I nodded again and sighed.

Why was I so worked up over a stupid dance? Well, technically it wasn't

the dance, but Kagome. I guess I was already so scared of rejection,

but the thought of it coming from her... it hurt too much. But Miroku

was right. Kagome was my friend, and it would be okay.

"Alright," I said, standing up. "Let's go."

[Kagome Point of View]

Sango ad I walked up to the school, light pouring out from the open gym doors, students filtering in and out.

"Ready?" Sango asked. I exhaled soothingly and nodded. I turned to my best friend and smiled.

"Let's do this"

?

The music pulsated through the speakers, the gym floor vibrating with every beat.

"Don't think the music is loud enough, do ya?" I yelled at Sango over the music. She smiled and shook her head, looking around for the guys. She eventually gave up looking over the sea of people and turned to me. She shrugged and we walked towards one of the back corners.

"Hey, I love this song!" Sango said as One Step At A Time by Jordan Sparks came on. I laughed as she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. We danced to the song, which mainly consisted of snapping our fingers and singing the chorus together. When the song ended, we laughed together, and the DJ made the transition to another song. Replay by Sean Kingston came on and Sango and I settled back into the corner.

Kayo came up, wearing a pair of white skinny jeans and Purple shirt with a panda bear on it.

"Sango!" She said, taking Sango by the hands. "You have to come dance with me!"

Sango shot me a slightly apologetic look as she was dragged into the crowd by Kayo. I chuckled at Kayo's excitement and looked around at the gym.

It was decorated in purple and aqua streamers, a temporary disco ball placed in the middle of the ceiling.

I was surprised when someone suddenly covered my eyes and I couldn't see.

"Guess who."

I could instantly tell it was Inuyasha, and I smiled to myself.

"Hmm…" I said, tapping my lips with my finger. "Miroku?"

"No."

"Koga?"

"You wish."

"Inuyasha?"

"Yea."

He finally uncovered my eyes and I turned around and hugged him.

"That's what I wished for, not Koga." I told him for clarification before letting go of him. I took in his outfit for a minute.

He had on cargo pants and a black shirt, a purple tie around his neck. He had a blue unbuttoned shirt over that. He looked good.

"You look nice," I complemented. He smiled, his fangs showing.

"You look better."

I could feel myself blush, but instead of letting him see, I took him by the hand and turned to walk him to the dance floor. Once we were in the middle, I began dancing. Inuyasha looked at me like a deer in the headlights. I just laughed.

"You should dance, after all, this event is called… a dance." I told him. He stared at me for a moment before trying to dance in time to the song. "That's it!" I praised as he got in time with the song. He smiled at me, obviously impressed himself.

I came to dance in front of him, but not like the sluts that were grinding around us. Inuyasha seemed to tense up at first, but he soon relaxed.

Suddenly, the song changed to a slightly slower song. Never Knew I Needed by Ne-Yo came on, and Inuyasha stopped dancing, waiting to see what he should do. I smiled and walked slightly closer, my hands going on his shoulders. He hesitantly placed his hands on the small of my back, obviously trying not to hurt me with his claws.

We swayed, though not completely like it was a slow song. I smiled up at Inuyasha, concentrating on the music and how his eyes seemed to glow in the dimly lit room.

for the way you changed my plans
for being the perfect distraction
for the way you took the idea that I have
of everything that I wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing (oh yeah)
for the ending of my first begin
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah, yeah)
and for the rare and unexpected friend
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
for the way you're something that I never choose
but at the same time something I don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again (oh oh)

you're the best thing I never knew I needed
so when you were here I had no idea
you're the best thing I never knew I needed
so now it's so clear I need you here always

my accidental happily (ever after) (oh oh oh)
the way you slime and how you comfort me (with your laughter)
I must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you're the beginning and the end of every chapter (oh oh)

you're the best thing I never knew I needed (oh)
so when you were here I had no idea
you're the best thing I never knew I needed (that I needed)
so now it's so clear I need you here always

who'd knew that I'd be here (who'd knew that I'd be here oh oh)
so unexpectedly (so unexpectedly oh oh)
undeniably happy (hey)
said with you right here, right here next to me (oh)

girl you're the..
you're the best thing I never knew I needed (said I needed oh oh)
so when you were here I had no idea
you're the best thing I never knew I needed (needed oh)
so now it's so clear I need you here always
baby baby
now it's so clear I need you here always

The song ended and Inuyasha smiled at me.

"Kagome?" He asked. I looked up at him. "You're the best thing that's happened to me in a long, long time.

He kissed my forehead and we broke apart. I stood dazed for a second before he took my hand and led me out of the crowd.

"Come on, let's find Sango and Miroku."

[Inuyasha Point of View]

We found them about two songs later, both of them dancing to Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna. Kagome and I both laughed when we found them pointing to each other and lip singing 'now shut up and drive'. Sango looked a bit mortified, but Miroku simply laughed.

"I think we'll leave you too you're driving," Kagome laughed before the two of us left Miroku and Sango to finish the song. We made our way to the table where the refreshments were laid out. It was mainly fruits and red punch, but it was fine for a two hour dance.

Kagome was mid-way through pouring my glass of punch when Blessed Broken Road by Rascal Flatts came on. Kagome just continued to pour her cup before placing the ladle back in the large bowl. She turned around and leaned back on the wall, her foot placed part way up the wall.

"Having fun?" She asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"Loads," I told her, not being sarcastic at all.

"Awesome," She said, smiling. About that time, Kikyo came up to me, smiling.

"Hey Yashy!" She said. She was wearing a white dress, beaded with a deep V-neck. She looked over dressed and quite slutty, considering the dress came to her upper thigh.

"They let you through the door wearing that?" I asked. She nodded.

"Of course." She told me. The song reached its chorus and she smiled bigger. "Now come on, hottie, we should dance."

She grabbed me by my arm and attempted to pull me away from Kagome.

"Kikyo, I'm here with Kagome, plus, I don't dance with hoes." I explained to her, resisting how she tugged on me.

"Oh you know you'd rather dance with me than that waste of time over there." She said, waving a dismissive hand at Kagome. I was shocked that she would insult Kagome like that, but before I could get over my shock, Kagome pushed Kikyo off of me.

"Look, Kinky-ho," Kagome said, pointing a finger at Kikyo. "He said he didn't want to dance with you. No hoes are allowed to dance with the hottie." She told her. Kikyo rolled her eyes.

"Well ugly bitches aren't allowed either," She told her. Kagome smirked.

"Well then, you have two offenses now." Kikyo raised an eyebrow.

"Look, I don't know who you think you are, but you need to listen," Kikyo told her, placing her hands on her hips. "You came out of nowhere, you're a nobody, and you think you can come in and take my man without a fight? On no, Hunny. I come from a high-class family, I'd be surprised if you bought any of your clothes without community help." Kikyo told her. I was ready to punch her, but Kagome just smiled.

"So what if I don't have as much money as you, but I'm not poor, not even close. And Kikyo? You want to know what I can do for free?" Kagome asked. Kikyo rolled her eyes.

"What?" She asked.

"This."

Kagome took her red punch filled with ice and poured it down Kikyo's white dress. Kikyo stood, dumbfounded.

"My my—My dress!" She said after a few moments.

"Whoops."

Kagome took my hand and we walked off to the dance floor, away from a fuming Kikyo.

Once we got to the middle of the floor, we started dancing to Stronger by Kanye West.

"Well, Kagome," I said. She looked up at me. "I'm so proud!" She laughed and rolled her eyes.

"It was nothing, she got what was coming to her." She said. I nodded and we continued dancing, enjoying an awesome dance. Without Kikyo.

[Kagome Point of View]

After the dance was over, everyone filed out of the gym to stand in the parking lot. Sango and Miroku's rides pulled up and they left, leaving just Inuyasha and I.

"So you had fun?" Inuyasha asked me. I nodded.

"It was great!" I told him. He laughed.

"Perfect?" He asked me. I thought about it… despite Kikyo, it had been really fun.

"Yes, minus Kikyo." I told him. He smiled.

"I'll make it up to you," He promised. I chuckled, and asked jokingly,

"How?" His eyes sparkled suddenly.

"Like this."

That's when he bent down and met my lips with his. Kissing Inuyasha was… amazing… if I wasn't so zoned out, I could swear fireworks were going off around up. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I wrapped mine around his neck.

But breathing is necessary, even when you don't want it to be.

I smiled and leaned my forehead against his.

"Now it's 100% perfect," I told him. He chuckled.

"Perfect."

Sorry it took awhile to update, but I hope this makes up for that :) R&R
