Dear readers. You must know that with this world comes people who lie. Like me when I said something about updating two days after the last update...:D. It was my birthday weekend, give me a break.. I'm disclaiming the songs that are written in this chapter. The first one being Hoshizora No Waltz and the second one being Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. It's suggested you listen to those songs while reading those 'scenes' otherwise you'll be like, "This is stupid." :(
'As selfish as this is...I can't control my want for his touch any longer...A part of me truly wants him to figure out it's me and realize he loves me more but the other half of me is scared he will find out. What if he can tell right away it's me? Would he ever forgive me? Would...would I possibly loose him as a friend...InuYasha...please see me as Kikyo for just a little while..'
Chapter 28...
The lights seemed to shimmer more brightly in Kagome's eyes as she sluggishly made her way to the center of the dance floor. It was rather difficult walking in a straight line with everyone bumping into you; too careless to do anything else but dance. Trying her hardest to steady her breathing she focused on gaining up her confidence. Sure InuYasha could probably do a quicker job at pulling her out of a crowd than her own mother but...she trusted Jakotsu's disguise. Averting her attention to her feet strapped tightly in her shiny sandals, with ribbons hugging her ankles, Kagome pondered around the deal of keeping the shoes... Walking only a few inches in the foot steps of Kikyo, Kagome smiled with confidence.
'It's gotta work!'
"Oi! Kagome!"
'Well...damn. That was quicker than I thought it was going to be...'
With a heavy sigh Kagome twirled around and met face to face with Byakuya.
"Byakuya?"
Blushing, Byakuya scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Why was he all of a sudden bashful? Did her disguise work or fail?
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else."
'No way! It actually fooled my own date! Strange because the two of us weren't wearing the same dress. What is this guy, a little stupid?'
"You know where Kagome is?"
"Um...No I haven't seen her."
"Oh...oh well! The basketball group is hanging out by the punch so I guess I'll hang with them until I see her. If you find her, tell her where I am."
"Location noted." Kagome smiled. "One more thing."
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen InuYasha?"
"He's looking for you right now." Byakuya chuckled.
"Good..."
With the help of being in disguise, all Kagome's previous shyness had forcefully been locked away for the time being. Tapping her foot lightly on the ground she began swaying with the beat of the music.
'I could very well make Kikyo look like an idiot on the dance floor, but maybe I should save that before we switch again. Man...so many options! So little time...'
()()()()
'Where the hell is she? She knows it'll take longer for me to find her with so many peoples' scents fogging up my damn sense of smell! Sweat does not smell pleasant if I may add.'
"I-inuYasha..." A shy voice called out.
InuYasha followed the sound of the voice with a twitch of his ears and glanced at a very petite girl with glasses. Her hair cascaded down her back in a tight braid, preventing it from dragging across the dance floor and tripping millions of helpless seniors. The cute blush on her face only grew bigger the longer he stared at her.
"Hm?"
"W-would you l-like to-"
"I'm sorry, I have to go. I'm looking for someone." InuYasha patted her shoulder and again squirmed his way further into the crowd.
"Son of a b-!"
"Miharu!" The girl with glasses scolded as her friend practically started tearing her hair out.
"Why didn't you ask him to dance! He was totally vulnerable at the moment and you could of tied that juicy meat down!"
"Uh..."
"You've only liked him for what five years? Come on Cynthis you're so embarrassing. This is why you can't get a boyfriend."
"But InuYasha's super popular and I've heard rumors that he has two girlfriends!" Cynthis whined. "He's out of my league."
"Two! Well I don't see why he can't add to that.."
" Two girlfriends? What are you guys talking about?" Kagome butted in after hearing InuYasha's name several times."
"Kikyo-sama..." The girls cried out in fear. "I-it's nothing..."
With that being said the girls dashed away. Kagome stood puzzled at the odd girls' behavior. Had people actually feared Kikyo that much? It's no wonder someone hasn't tried to steal InuYasha away. Who could that other girlfriend those girls wear talking about possibly be? Herself...Kagome? If she was able to steal him that would just be a freaking miracle in her eyes.
"Jeez Kikyo! There you are. Where'd you go? I've been crawling around this whole place looking for you." An all too familiar voice asked her from behind. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut in fright. This was it. It was either a success or fail, a win or loose, all that would be determined with one little twirl of her heels.
'Time for a voice change...'
"Sorry, I had to pluck a few eyebrows I missed in the bathroom."
"Uh...? Okay..?"
Awkward...
'Ha! Take that Kikyo.'
InuYasha gave her his famous smirk as he snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her body towards him. Kagome's eyes almost bugged out of her head as her chest was crushed against InuYasha's.
"Dance with me.." He softly ordered.
Kagome could only find herself nodding and remained staring into his gorgeous amber eyes. It was almost as his eyes looked right passed her.. it was strange.
A new band on stage began playing a new song, changing the dancers ways. So much for slow dancing with InuYasha...
InuYasha spun her around and followed the new tempo.
"You know, I've never considered you one for enjoying dancing." Kagome pointed out with a soft giggle.
"I don't love it, I'll admit that. But I'll suck it up if it earns your enjoyment and happiness for the night."
'How sweet...'
"Kikyo! Darling!" A busy volunteer of the prom asked in panic.
"Eh?" Kagome asked, slightly disappointed in having her dance interrupted with InuYasha.
"Some girl passed you in the nominations for prom queen!"
How would Kikyo react...
"EHH! WHAT!" She growled stomping her foot.
"H-h-hey...It's okay, I'm sure your name will bump back up." InuYasha tried comforting.
"What's this girl's name?"
"Higurashi Kagome."
"R-really?" Kagome and InuYasha said in unison. Since when was Kagome popular?
()()()()
"Jakotsu...This is cheating..." Sanae sighed as she slipped in a bag full of votes for Prom queen nominations for Kagome.
"You want Kikyo to win?" Jakotsu asked with a roll of his eyes. "Jeez you kids are such babies! When I was in high school I did whatever the hell I wanted to..."
"Kawaii..." A mysterious voice purred unexpectedly behind the two.
Jakotsu jumped and turned around with a raised eyebrow.
"Eh?"
A girl in a hazel ball gown was standing close to Jakotsu, admiring his every feature.
"I've never seen you at this school before."
"You can't see everyone." He complained and got back to work.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Jakotsu once again stopped piling the cards into the bowl and raised an eyebrow. "Not really?"
"Do you bite your lips? They are awfully red."
Jakotsu ran his finger over his lipstick-covered lips. "Course not."
"You're very handsome...But something tells me that's the wrong word to use. You're...very beautiful in my opinion."
"Thank you."
"Goodness Jakotsu! The girl obviously has a weird fetish for you so why don't you go dance with her!" Sanae urged.
Jakotsu smiled at the girl and politely as he could, turned her down. He didn't come to this event to recall past memories. He had a job to do and he was determined to get that done correctly.
"Keep the votes coming. Forget the girl."

"Confident in getting Prom King InuYasha?" ''Kikyo'' asked InuYasha.
Swallowing the remainder of his soda, InuYasha shook his head. Sure he was good looking but he did have his haters. After all, he was a half demon. It would be years before the whole world accepted their race.
The dancing teenagers screamed and squealed at the next song selection. They've been dancing for what seemed like ages and they still didn't show any signs of drowsiness. They must have been prepared for this night to happen.
"I love this song!" Kagome said jumping up and down. It's been her dream to ball dance with InuYasha to this song.
For the longest time InuYasha just stared at her with a confused expression. Kikyo every now and then had been acting.. kindheartedly. A character who loved life. Don't get him wrong, he liked the change but it also seemed so familiar. He decided to just ignore it for now and offered her a smile.
wakaregiwa no samishisa wa
ano koro kara kawaranai
"We have to, have to, have to, have to, have to dance to this InuYasha. Eating can wait." Kagome pleaded.
mata ashita aeru no ni
hanaretakunai no
InuYasha willingly lead his prom date back to the center of the dance floor, encircling her waist with his arms. Kagome hesitantly wrapped her delicate arms around his neck and almost forgot to breathe.
"You know...This song sounds familiar to me. But I don't know how considering I think this is my first time hearing it." InuYasha said with a shrug.
sotto watashi wo dakishimete kureru
shiawase wo mamoritai zutto
'Silly...Yash. I listened to this song the day I realized I was in love with you...'
()()()()()
Flashback...
manatsu no seiza ni terasarete
futari chiisaku tonaeru
himitsu no kotoba oshiete
ageru ne, omajinai shiyou
Opening a letter that came in the mail for herself, Kagome began reading out loud in her room.
"Dear Kagome. Guess what, I finally figured out how to spell your name! My mom and dad and me all arrived in the states today! It's really cool here! I don't understand a thing people say to my mom and dad! Other than that it's cool! I wish you could have came with us..."
itsumo aruku kaerimichi
tsunaida te wo hanasenai
InuYasha, along with his parents had to travel to America for a possible trading agreement with another company. InuTaisho worked hard in selling and trading with the states to get a lot of money. Kagome was glad InuYasha wrote to her. Fourth grade was getting pretty boring without her best friend there.
kono mama itai keredo toki ga sugite iku
yozora ni egaku yume wa hitotsu dake anata
no hoshi ni naritai itsuka
"Okay, this may sound lame but...I miss you. You know how boring it is sitting in an office and not being able to do anything but look retarded and stare into space! I'm dying..."
Kagome felt heat rise into her small cheeks and checked into her vanity mirror. Her cheeks became rosy within seconds. All this over a letter?
'He misses...me?'
yasashii hitomi wo miteitara naze ka namida ga afureru
hajimete no setsunasa wo shitta no...anata ga suki
"You should be honored, you're the only one I sent a letter to. That, and the fact that I was too lazy to send any more letters. Plus...I don't really like people all that much, so there really wasn't anyone else to send to. I'm coming home soon. I got you something from America. But I'm not telling you til I'm home! Okay...it kinda sucks cause I kinda don't have money. Okay, my hands hurt so...bye! I don't know how to spell that thing that you include at the end of letters so I'm just going to put...InuYasha! See you soon."
manatsu no seiza ni terasarete futari shizuka ni inoru no
sunao na kimochi no mama de issho ni iraremasu youni
"P-S...My mom helped me which is why everything is spelled right. Honestly I could never do that in a million years."
Kagome folded up the letter and rested a hand over her beating heart. What was this strange feeling? Was she sick? Why were her cheeks so red? Why did her throat feel like she swallowed something that wouldn't go down?
"Mama!" Kagome cried.
"What is it dear?"
"I think I'm sick..." Kagome mumbled into her pillow.
Flashback ends...
'Call it a silly little crush or love, regardless, I knew then and there that I had a special place in my heart for InuYasha. Back then I didn't think falling in love was possible for friends, or even kids our age...boy was I wrong..'
hikari ga umareta no ima futari no kokoro no naka ni
As the song slowly came to an end Kagome made a decision she would never forget. Getting on her tiptoes, Kagome targeted InuYasha's lips and crushed hers against his. InuYasha held her tighter and gave into the kiss. If she wanted a kiss, all she had to do was say so...
No matter how much she was blushing she wasn't going to let this moment end.
There was something interesting about the way Kikyo was kissing him...InuYasha thought with confusion. Her kisses seemed more shy and curious then anything.
InuYasha waited patiently for her to allow him entrance. Taking too long he helped her by biting softly on her bottom lip. Kagome finally gave in allowing her mouth be intruded by InuYasha's tongue. It felt amazing in her opinion as their tongues both battled for dominance. Though with Kagome's lack of experience in kissing, you can guess who won that match.
'Aw man...here I am smooching with a professional kisser while I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing!' Kagome screamed in her head. 'Just moan...and tilt head...moan..tilt head...I think.'
"Alright that's enough you two!" A teacher scolded with a swing of her ruler on top of InuYasha's head.
"Oi! Watch it!" InuYasha whelped, tearing away his lips from Kagome's swollen one's. "My ears are sensitive!"
"Look, I could care less who you suck faces with but please, just not here."
InuYasha crossed his arms and stared down the teacher. "Fine..." He said taking ''Kikyo's'' hand. "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Kagome asked in a panic.
"Don't worry we'll be back by the time they present you your crown." InuYasha winked.
'...This doesn't sound good.'

"Man! I can't keep up!" Sanae cried. "Kikyo's catching up quickly."
"That's because those girls over there." Jakotsu pointed to two girls doing the exact same thing they were. He leaned against the table and stretched waiting for them to soon announce prom king and queen.
" I think we ruined Kikyo's night enough. I don't really care who wins now. Kagome is with whom she loves and the world in now in balance." Jakotsu thought out loud.
"And I suppose knocking Kikyo out helps balance the world."
"Precisely. I'm glad you're catching on."
"You know, now that I think about it...we never really thought about Kagome's prom date."
"I've been keeping an eye on him. He seems to be enjoying himself more with the basketball group rather than wondering where his date went."
"Ah..."
()()()
Soft lips fell right on top of Kagome's once again in pure passion. Nobody could disturb them if they were hidden in the Taisho's personal limo. They had been going at it for hours. They considered this more enjoyment, rather than dancing. Kagome's nails dug deeply on InuYasha's back as he gained full control of the everlasting kiss. Kagome was trapped, lying down with InuYasha's body hovering over her. Any chance of escape was slim to none. Not like she wanted to though.
His claws gently grazed up and down her sides causing shivers down her spine.
'Everything happened so quickly. My memory of the specifics are fuzzy. I can't even remember when he pulled down my dress to my waist...wait what?' Kagome was able to open her eyes for a mere second, staring down at her visible strapless bra as her skin was gently caressed by InuYasha's hands. 'Honestly, I don't remember that happening...'
Withing one second things stepped it up with the event fogging Kagome's mind. InuYasha's hand slowly ran up Kagome's stomach and rolled up on her left breast. Groping her as his kisses grew more disparate; Kagome let out a held back moan. He helped pull her up against him, sitting her in his lap. His claws ran across the smooth surface of her bra in search for a hook.
'No...' Kagome's eyes shot wide open at his attempted actions and fell into panic. 'I know exactly where this is headed.'
"N-no!" Kagome cried out, suddenly frightened and held her bra to her chest tightly.
"K-kikyo? What's the matter?" InuYasha whispered.
"I-I'm not ready for...Please..." Kagome tried explaining in a shaky voice as tears leaked down her cheeks. "Not yet..."
InuYasha's worried expression increased as his girlfriend began crying.
"But you said-"
"I'm sorry. I'm just not ready...Please understand." She sniffled, wiping away the tears. Things had gotten too far. She loved him yes, but wasn't ready to give away her body until she was married.
Would InuYasha be angry and take her anyways? How was he feeling?
InuYasha picked Kagome up and placed her in his lap. He wrapped his arms around and kissed her forehead.
"Shh...It's okay. I understand."
"You're not mad?" Kagome said in a squeaky voice.
"What? No! You just told me yesterday that..."
Kagome had to prevent her mouth from dropping that moment. Kikyo planned on giving up her body on the night of the prom? The thought sickened her of her best friend being tainted. She may have stopped their act this time but without a doubt Kikyo would pounce on him again. She didn't want him to feel forced and she would be sure to talk to him about it tomorrow...as her real self.
Kikyo's phone started vibrating in Kagome's handbag gratefully ending the conversation. Kagome picked up the handbag, pulling out the phone and allowing InuYasha's hands to wrap around her stomach from behind.
"Hello?"
"Times up. You have ten minutes til they announce prom king and queen." Jakotsu informed.
"Alright."
Kagome clicked the red end call button and stared down at InuYasha's hands.
"Who was that?" InuYasha softly asked with his nose against her shoulder.
"Um...one of my friends were looking for me in the gym and panicked because they couldn't find me. She said they'll announce me as prom queen soon."
"Okay, then we should probably head back in. I think I'm going to look for Kagome and Byakuya since you should probably go see what that friend wanted."
"'kay." Kagome replied getting out of the limo.
"Oh and Kikyo..."
"Yes?"
"I'm glad you told me..."
Well...How were you supposed to reply to that? So perfect guys did exist...and one was standing right in front of her.
Kagome laced her fingers with InuYasha's hand and pecked him lightly on the lips.
Her final kiss given to InuYasha would be one she would have to cherish forever. Kagome knew she had to accept InuYasha would never be hers even if it'd be extremely difficult.

"There you are!" Jakotsu sighed in relief with his hands on his hips. "I thought I would have to come up with some freaky plot to go and kidnap you!" He said stressed out a little. Jakotsu liked things going exactly how the plan was. Just like most guys do.
"I'm sorry!" Kagome said tearing off her ''Kikyo'' wig. "But InuYasha doesn't seem to agree with quick separation.."
"That's fabulous, now strip!"
"Pushy.." She rolled her eyes, slipping out of the beautiful gown and tossing it to Sanae. Tomoyo already had Kikyo, the real Kikyo, stripped down and ready to make the dress exchange.
"So how was it?" Jakotsu smirked.
"I don't think there is a word to describe just how perfect it felt. I just wish I didn't need a costume to get him to kiss me."
"Ya probably don't." Jakotsu pointed out as he combed the wig. "Jeez Kagome, could you make the wig any more tangled? What'd you do?"
"..."
Jakotsu smirked at the sudden silence and began laughing. "Bad girl..." He teased.
"It almost got too out of hand. I wasn't ready for all that mess.." Kagome sighed as Sanae zipped her back into her own dress.
"Then when will you be?" He wondered.
"The night I am married."
"You could have stolen InuYasha's body from Kikyo! And you pass the offer up!" He asked shocked.
"Eww...Jakotsu. I wasn't ready!" She argued.
"I suppose make out sessions are alright..."
"Now THAT was fun..."
" Soft scrumptious lips?"
"You could only imagine..."
Kagome let down her hair, releasing their big waves and stepped into her shoes.
"W-where am I?" Kikyo asked to nobody in particular as she slowly regained cautiousness.
"Don't worry," Jakotsu whispered in Kagome's ears. "We gave her something to give her a mild case of amnesia for the time being."
"Yes, that's probably illegal."
"Kagome? Is that you?" Kikyo asked. "It's so dark in here.."
"Um, yes. We uh...oh! The teacher asked us to get something from the storage closet!"
"...Oh."
"Come on Kikyo, we'll miss the winner for Prom Queen!"
Kikyo got up and dusted herself. A lot of this didn't make sense to her right now..but, couldn't miss receiving that crown. Perhaps she drank too much and couldn't remember anything. Yeah...That was it.
"They can't crown me if I ain't there, huh?" Kikyo bragged.
"Eheh...nope."

"Everyone seems to be having a good time. Am I right?" A person from the student council asked into a microphone as she stepped on stage.
"Wooo!" Cheered all the seniors.
"Awesome! Sadly our night to always remember is slowly coming to an end. But, before that happens we would like to announce our 2012, Prom King and Prom Queen!"
The crowd hollered and clapped their hands together. This was the moment a lot of girls were waiting for.
InuYasha lightly hit Kagome on the side to let her know of his presence.
"Hey, Where were you? I couldn't find you..." Kagome frowned. 'Nice one Kags...'
"With Kikyo. Where's Byakuya?"
"I lost him. He said he was getting me punch."
"Ah...So are you having fun?"
"A lot. I'm so glad I decided to come."
"See! I told you."
"And prom king goes to...Hojo!"
"..." The whole crowd grew silent. Even the crickets could be heard outside.
"YEAH!" Hojo howled to the world with a fist pump.
"Oh wait, sorry...wrong card."
"Dang it..."
The crowd once again seemed to get happy.
"I nominate THIS guy!" Cynthis screamed while pointing at Jakotsu. He blushed putting a hand to his cheek and shook his head.
"I'm honored..."
Ignoring Cynthis, the student council president announced, "Your 2012 Prom king is...Takoyuki Sao!"
"Figured..." InuYasha said rolling his eyes. Takoyuki had a lot of fangirls...
"Taco...Yuki? Who names their child Taco!" Hojo complained."I demand a recount."
Takoyaki Sao stepped up on the stage and bowed as the student council president pressed down a crown on the top of his head.
"Aw...I figured you would get King." Kagome grinned and elbowed InuYasha's arm.
"I think they'd find it a disgrace to have their king be a half breed." He said once again rolling his eyes. Kagome's smile turned into a frown at his negative attitude. When was he going to understand that she loved him as a half demon...who cares what the others thought. Kagome linked their arms and gave him a some-what encouraging smile.
Kikyo from a distance had her fingers crossed with all her girl friends by her side. She had been trying to obtain Prom Queen since the first day she walked into High school, trying to make a good impression on everyone...
"Seniors...Your Prom Queen is..."
"Please...Please...please..." She chanted.
"Sango!"
Sango, currently making out with Miroku in the corner, bugged out her eyes in confusion. Since when did she have fans? She was very unaware of the fact that many people looked up to her as a person. She was strong, smart, strong, pretty, oh and strong. The seniors found it most fascinating when she beat up Miroku. Which was a little strange seeing her make out with the person she is mostly found avoiding as well as slapping.
Kikyo fell to her knees at not being able to hear her name be called. Why was the world so cruel?
Kagome clapped, loud, extremely excited in a way that Kikyo didn't win Prom Queen. She didn't deserve it. The queen was supposed to be someone everyone truly admired.
After getting over her shock, Sango ran on stage and waved to the crowd as a tiara was placed on her head. She felt like she just won a beauty pageant.
InuYasha was proud of his friend Sango but he had a girlfriend he knew he would have to comfort for not winning the one thing she's been waiting for since 6th grade.
"Just a minute! Before tears are leaked we have one more tiara for the princess!"
InuYasha stopped in his tracks and glared at the student council president.
"Your 2012 Prom Princess-"
"There's no such thing!" A jock yelled from the crowd making everyone laugh.
"Ugh! I'm the student council president so what I say goes! Your 2012 Prom princess is...Kikyo!"
Kikyo wiped her watery eyes and was picked up off the floor by her cheering friends.
"Kikyo! You got Prom Princess!" They cheered.
Kikyo slowly got on to the stage and gazed into the crowd that where clapping...just for her. She exchanged looks with InuYasha who smiled at her. After the tiara was placed on her head she cried happy tears. It wasn't as neat at being Prom Queen, she would admit that much, but at least she got a crown.
"I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who voted for me," Kikyo said into the microphone that she stole forcefully out of the hands of the student council president. "And to my boyfriend, InuYasha. And to all my girl friends out in the crowd, but most of all-"
"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't say speeches were aloud!" The student council president yelled reaching for her microphone.
"Get your own microphone. I've been working on this speech for years." Kikyo snorted and looked back at her laughing audience.
"Dj...Please tune her out." The student council president grumbled.
Music began loudly playing so Kikyo wasn't able to be heard, even with the microphone. She grumbled, throwing the microphone down on the hard stage and stomped off.
(Lucky)
Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
"Kikyo where you going now!" InuYasha asked. "Can't I dance with the prom Princess?" He asked with a small smirk.
"My makeup's running! Alright!" She barked and stormed into the girl's bathroom.
"Okay, okay. Jeez...Excuse me."
Across the water
Across the deep, blue ocean
under the open sky
Oh my, baby I'm trying...
Sango grabbed InuYasha and pulled him away from the girl's bathroom. At the same time, Miroku was pushing Kagome to the center of the dance floor. Trust me, it was very hard to keep his hands from traveling further south.
"Sango? What are you doing?" InuYasha asked with a slightly raised eyebrow trying to keep up with her.
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I feel you with me, in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Miroku and Sango stopped their pushing and shoving of their two friends until InuYasha and Kagome were chest to chest...as well as blushing.
"Uh hi..." Kagome said awkwardly.
"InuYasha, you were the one who told Kagome she should come to the dance. The least you could do is offer her one dance..." Sango suggested putting his hands around Kagome's waist by force.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Miroku put Kagome's hands around InuYasha's neck and took a step back with Sango.
"Sango, come dance with me my Queen."
"I suppose it's an exception...even if I'm supposed to be dancing with the Prom King..." She decided wrapping her arms around him and leading them away from their friends so they could have their privacy.
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
"I was going to ask you to dance." InuYasha mumbled. "Eventually."
"Well then? Dance." Kagome smirked.
Kagome let InuYasha lead in their slow dance as the music practically flooded her mind.
"So? Miroku and Sango...officially together?" InuYasha asked with his famous smirk.
Sending a glance towards their friend's way she giggled. "I think so. Though Sango will probably deny it."
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
Kagome rested her head on InuYasha's shoulder and sighed. "Don't you think your girlfriend will be mad if she saw you dancing with me? She already isn't too fond of me."
"I'm sure she would if she wasn't busy fixing her makeup. Trust me; it takes a long time..."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, I took her to dinner one time and she went to go fix her makeup...I thought she ditched me since she was taking so long." He chuckled. "I think once she has one smudge she has to start all over."
"That's why I don't wear makeup all the time. I like to rub my eyes, thank you." Kagome said rubbing her eyes on his shoulder.
"Thank god. I wish all girls would stop wearing cakes of makeup." InuYasha paused and laughed nervously. "Are we really having this conversation?
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been wear I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
"Yes, but it's okay. We've been having some strange conversations for years."
"Let's see...What was the strangest we had...?"
"I think when I had to explain what a tampon was to you when you found one on the floor in your mom's bathroom."
"Ew..Don't remind me of that."
"You were only eleven InuYasha." Kagome laughed.
"Yeah well your explanation wasn't exactly great at eleven either.."
"Care for me to explain again now that I'm older?"
"I think I'm good." InuYasha said shaking his head.
"There we go with weird conversations again."
"It feels natural to me when it comes to you."
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Kikyo watched from afar as her enemy and boyfriend slow danced. His hands were wrapped so lovingly around her and her head lied nice and relaxed on his shoulder. She couldn't have been more furious, and jealous more or less.
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Kikyo walked barley two steps towards the two best friends to end the lovey-dovey moment. Oh there was about to be a cat fight. She definitely made that official in her mind. Though before she could do this Jakotsu spun her around with one graceful movement and held her close to him.
"Go over there and I won't hesitate to kill you."
"Yeah right. Let me go you freak! That's my boyfriend that wench is dancing with!"
"Aw...You seem to be catching up on InuYasha's vocabulary. You two must be close. Though I'm quite serious about the murder thing. I have a large, and quite sexy, spiral shaped katana at home."
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
Ya hold me right here, right now
"Okay you're seriously freaking me out. Let me go. Hey wait..." Kikyo stared at Jakotsu's facial features and gasped. "I know you! You're that creepy guy InuYasha works with at the salon! What the hell are you doing here!"
"Gee, pleasure to meet you too." Jakotsu replied in a sarcastic voice.
"Kikyo? Is that you?" An unfamiliar voice asked from a distance.
"Onigomo!" Kikyo smiled wide. "You go to this school!"
"No; a friend sneaked me in."
"Want to dance? My boyfriend's dancing with his stupid friend for a while."
"Sounds great."
Jakotsu found it safe enough to let Kikyo go sense this 'Onigomo' guy would distract her, at least until the song finished. Something seemed odd about the twos' relationship in Jakotsu's opinion. Or maybe he was just seeing things and the two of them were just really great friends..
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky where in love in every way
Lucjy to have stayed where we have stayed
Luckky to be coming home someday
Oooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooooh ooooh oooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Kagome and InuYasha felt the same way that moment as the song ended. They both didn't want to let go. InuYasha had been right, this had been one of the best days of Kagome's life and one she would never forget, even if she tried. She could just imagine the thumbs up Jakotsu would be giving her from a distance she couldn't see him from...

That night after taking a bath and slipping into some comfortable pajamas, Kagome pounced on her bed and rubbed her face against her soft pillow. Her feet ached terribly from walking around all night and dancing.
Mrs. Higurashi came into Kagome's room and set down a small cup of tea down on her desk.
"How was Prom Kagome?"
"Amazing..."
"I'm glad you had fun. You must be tired, I'll let you sleep." Mrs. Higurashi kissed Kagome on the forehead and closed the door. "Good night Kagome."
"Night Mama."
Kagome closed her eyes and exhaled a large amount of air she had been holding. Just before she was about to go to sleep, her phone buzzed on her desk making her jump.
"Stupid phone...trying to give me a heart attack when I'm half asleep!" Kagome screamed at her phone and slide on the edge of her bed to reach for it.
Unlocking the phone with a press of a couple of buttons Kagome looked at her inbox.
One new text message from 'puppy'
"InuYasha shouldn't you be sleeping..." Kagome whispered to herself. "Oh yeah that's right, Kikyo might try to...ah gross!"
New Message: I knew it was you ;)
…...
…..

"Shut up..." Kagome whispered in disbelief hoping it wasn't true. Her throat, ears, and cheeks suddenly began burning.
He...knew it was her?
