"Wow this is awesome" Naruto whispered to Sango. She nodded and headed in with him. The gym looked great. It had balloons across the ceiling and food along a bunch of tables. A giant banner was strung across the ceiling that had "Welcome Back Class of 2011!!" written on it. You couldn't even tell there had been a food fight recently.

"Hey Naruto, Sango" Ichigo said. Ichigo was holding Nel's hand that looked good in her white dress. It had a circle cut above the chest which got a few looks from the guys.

"Hey Ichigo. Wow Nel you look great" he said turning a slight red. Sango elbowed him hard in the ribs. Naruto grabbed his sighed and Sango looked away mad. Nel giggled.

"Thank you, Naruto" she said. They talked a little more then walked over to find seats. A few minutes later Rukia, Inuyasha, Kazuki, and Tokiko joined them. Everyone had started casual conversation except Nel. Whenever someone asked her something she replied absently. Ichigo walked her over near a wall and finally asked her about it.

"What's wrong?" he asked facing her. His hand tightened around hers.

"It's nothing" she said averting her eyes. He raised his hand and stroked her cheek gently.

"Come on I know that's not true" he said. She raised her head and looked into his eyes and saw the concern there. She knew couldn't lie to him.

"I don't fit in here" she said. Ichigo stared at her then began to laugh a little.

"Is that all?" he said a smile breaking across his lips. "Nel you don't have to worry. My friends may seem strange but they already like you. You fit in fine." Nel didn't look convinced but she couldn't help but smile at him.

"Alright, Ichigo. I believe you, But there's one thing missing." she said. She placed her hands on his face and drew him into a kiss. Ichigo kissed her back pushing agaisnt her back deeping it. When they broke apart they were both smiling.

"Better?" Ichigo asked grinning. Nel nodded smiling and held onto his arm walking back to the dance. Everthing whent smoothly from that point on.

Kurama and Botan sat at a table watching the others. Botan was pouting slightly and Kurama couldn't help but notce how cute she looked. "What's wrong?" he asked. Botan looked up and sighed.

"It's just I almost feel we should dance or sometihng." She said pouting again.

"Why don't we?" he asked. He got up and extended his hand. She smiled and took it as he lead her to the dance floor. They began with a slow waltz moving with increasing speed. Even the other couples had stopped to watch them.

"Kurama" Botan said her face growing red. "Everyone is staring"

"Ignore them" he said soothingly "Just focus on you and me" He spun her in a small circle extending back then pulling her close. Botan reacted to everything as if she had practiced her whole life. They danced for a few minutes longer then Kurama swept her feet from under her and above the ground with one hand his face inches away from hers.

Everyone around them began to clap and cheer for them. Botan and Kurama both looked surprised but bowed and walked back to their table. They sat down slightly exashasuted.

"Wow that was great!" Yusuke said. Kagome,Inuyasha, and Rukia voiced their agreement. "Where'd you learn to dance like that?" they asked.

"I used to dance a little when I was younger" Kurama said then laughed to himself. I wasn't sure I still my old moves" Botan squeezed his hand gently. He looked up at her a into her beaming eyes.

"That was extremmly fun Kurama" she said "In fact…" she leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Kurama's eye's widened and his mouth formed a small "o" He nodded turning a slight red. Botan gave a small giggle of delight walking out with him. "See you tomorrow" she called to them.

"Yeah tommorow" Kurama said slightly stunned.

Naruto and Sango stood outside the school leaning agaisnt eachother staring at the sky. "Naruto,I've got to ask, why me?" Sangao asked finanly breaking the silence. The wind blew over them and Sango shivered. Naruto smiled and placed his jacket over her.

"I guess it was that game at Rukia's" he began. He looked down at her and smiled. "I had liked you before ,but the kiss sealed the deal." He said grinning. Sango turned bright red but smiled.

"Was it something like this?" she said pulling him into a kiss. When they broke apart they were both smiling.

"Yeah something like that." Naruto said before pulling her into another kiss. Sango opened her mouth deeping the kiss betwean them. Naruto and Sango stayed looked together for a good 20 seconds before breaking apart. Sango smiled at him resting her head on his shouldar. Naruto rested his head on hers stroking her hair softly.

Sakura and Hiei walked the gym searching for Sora and Kairi. "Hey guys!" Sora yelled running up to them. When he caught up to them th bent over brreathing heavily.

"You never change do you Sora?" Kairi said from him behind. Sora flashed her a smile laughing.

"What were you doning anyway?" Hiei asked. Sora waved him over and Hiei walked already guessing what it was.

"I was warning Yusuke" he said. Hiei nodded confirming what he thought. Sakura had said she'd kill Yusuke the next time he showed himself and when Sakura said something like that you ran the other way.

"I'll have you know I'm over that" Sakura said. Spra whispered something to Kairi and Hiei and they both laughed. Not knowing what he said she walked over and thumped him on the head with her handbag.

"Hey where's Riku?" Kairi asked looking around. "He said he'd meet us here with his date." Sora pointed to a conor of the gym and Kairi glanced over. Riku was busy kissing Momo passionetly.

"Looks like he's having fun" Sora said then took Kairi's hand. "Well maybe we should have some fun of our own." The empahzise on fun made Kairi blush slightly. They both smiled and followed Hiei and Sakura to the dance floor/

The dance ended half an hour later. When all the girls had been dropped off Yusuke, Ichgio, Inuyasha, and Naurto headed back to the dorms. "So show of hands who had an awesome night?" Yusuke asked. All of them raised their hands.

"I've actually got a date on Sunday" Naruto said. The wind which had been picking up and dying all night had finnaly stopped. The air grew warmer as the moon shined down.

"Good for you man" Inuyasha said. "Oh by the way did you hear? Exchange students are coming in on Monday."

"Sounds like fun" Yusuke said grinning.
