InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Best Friends and More? ❯ Party Time! ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4

 

Party Time!

 

 

`Christmas Party's tonight!!!... I can't wait!' shouted Kagome, as she walked down the stairs.

`We know Kagome, you've been talking about it for the past few days…' said Souta, irritated.

 

It was Christmas morning, the house was filled with the delicious smell of cookies and there were colourful decorations everywhere. Souta was up early in the morning, sitting beside the Christmas tree counting gifts.

 

`Come on, Mom!' whined Souta `Can we open the gifts now?'

`Okay…' said Ms. Higurashi, holding the camera she just found.

 

Souta began ripping open the gifts. Kagome sat down next to him and started to unwrap her gifts too. Souta shouted in joy and started to do this dance in the middle of the room with a whole bunch of toys around him. Kagome smiled when she opened her gifts. Her mom got her a new sweater that she wanted. Her Grandpa gave her a keychain he said that can ward off demons and her brother gave her a little angel he had made out of beads. It wasn't much but Kagome thought it was really thoughtful of them.

 

After all the Christmas presents were opened, `Merry Christmas' and `Thanks' were said, Kagome told her mom she wanted to go over to Inuyasha's.

 

`Here, bring these cookies, I bet he would like them!' said Ms. Higurashi, handing Kagome a tin box.

`Oh he will!' laughed Kagome and she headed out the door

 

>>>>>INUYASHA'S HOUSE>>>>>

 

`Merry Christmas, Kagome!' said Sesshomaru, smiling, opening the door.

`Merry Christmas, Sesshomaru!' said Kagome cheerfully as she stepped inside.

 

Kagome walked inside to the living room and she found Inuyasha ripping his gifts (which reminded Kagome of her little brother). Kagome rolled her eyes.

 

`Hey, Inuyasha! Merry Christmas!!!'

`Merry Christmas, Ka---' said Inuyasha sniffing the air `is that cookies I smell?'

Kagome laughed. `Yes, my mom wanted me to give them to you.'

`Wow, that's a really thoughtful gift from her!' said Inuyasha, grabbing the tin and started to (yet again) stuff his mouth with cookies.

`Oh…uh…Inuyasha, I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry to come here, and I forgot to bring you your gift!' Kagome said, apologizing.

`It's okay! I'll give you your gift when you, give me mine!' said Inuyasha

`Deal!'

`So, what's gonna happen tonight? What's the plan?' asked Inuyasha walking to his room.

`Um…well…' started Kagome, following him.

 

They sat down on Inuyasha's bed once they got in. His room was a just like any boy's room: Messy. The only organized thing in his room would be his wall, which where covered in posters of every rock band there is. The only reason it was organized was cuz Kagome was the only one who get him posters, and Kagome liked putting posters up for him.

 

`So, as you were saying?' asked Inuyasha.

`Yea…well, the party starts at 8:00, so I guess we'll go around 7:45 and the party ends at 10:00….' Explained Kagome.

`Good, we can get home by 11…Sesshomaru warned me not to be out that late' said Inuyasha.

`I know, same with mom, she didn't want me to stay out late too.' Kagome said, looking at his CD collection.

 

They spent the rest of the afternoon talking, listening to music and just pigging out. At around 5:00, Kagome stood up and she said it's time to go.

 

`WHAT? Already? It's only 5, Kagome!' complained Inuyasha.

`I know that, but I need to get home to get ready!'

`You need 3 hours?' asked Inuyasha.

`No, just 2 hours and 45 minutes!' said Kagome.

`What's the difference?' grumbled Inuyasha.

 

But at the end, Inuyasha gave in, got changed and followed Kagome to the door.

 

`Bye Sesshomaru!'

`Bye! Have fun at the party! And Inuyasha, make sure you don't stay out too late…but don't come home too early, okay?' asked Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha grinned. `I won't!'

Kagome closed the door behind her and looked curiously at Inuyasha. `What was all that about? Don't come home too early?'

Inuyasha chuckled. `Sesshomaru invited his girlfriend, Rin, to come over tonight, and well…I don't think he wants me home too early!'

`He he… oh, now I see' smiled Kagome.

 

>>>>>KAGOME'S HOUSE>>>>>

 

`Are you done, Kagome?' whined Inuyasha, knocking on Kagome's door around 7:30.

`Yup…here I come!' answered Kagome on the other side of the door.

 

Kagome was really pretty tonight. She had a nice white top on that says `Merry Xmas!' and a red skirt on. She was wearing a Christmas Hat and a pair of shiny high heel boots that went up to her knees. She even had a bit of eye shadow on, not too much and not too little, just enough to bring her eyes out. Inuyasha was trying hard not to blush at the sight of her.

 

`Oh, don't forget to bring Sango's and Miroku's presents!' reminded Ms. Higurashi.

`Okay, let's go!' said Kagome, grabbing Inuyasha's arm and the present with the other.

`Are you okay Inuyasha? You're a bit red in the face.' Said Kagome, who didn't noticed that Inuyasha was just blushing.

`Oh, uh, I'm just warm from walking around, waiting for you to get ready.' Lied Inuyasha.

`Why the hell am I blushing?'

 

>>>>>AT KIKYO'S “HOUSE”>>>>>

 

Both were surprised at how big Kikyo's “house” was when they arrived outside. It was practically a mansion. It was really big, colourful lights were around it and there's even a big pool beside the house.

 

`Wow' was all Inuyasha could say.

`Let's go!' said an excited Kagome.

 

She knocked on the door and was greeted by a man in a butler's uniform.

 

`Welcome to Ms. Kikyo's party, may I see your invitations?' asked the butler.

`Invitations? Oh no! I didn't know we had to bring our invitations!' cried Inuyasha frantically.

`Here' said Kagome, handing the butler two invitations.

`Enjoy the party!' the butler said after checking their invitations.

 

Kagome and Inuyasha went inside and into one of the rooms. It was as big as a school gym, the lights were off except for the disco lights shining from above somewhere. Loud music was playing and Kagome noticed that there was a live DJ on the “stage”.

 

`How'd you know to bring invitations?' asked Inuyasha loudly.

`Oh, I just brought them, just in case!' said Kagome, smiling up at him.

`Well, thanks! I wouldn't know what I would do without you!' said Inuyasha gratefully.

Kagome blushed and smiled. Luckily it was dark, and Inuyasha didn't see her blush.

`Am I blushing?' thought Kagome.

 

Before she could think about it, Inuyasha tapped her on the shoulders and pointed to Sango and Miroku, who were by the food table. Even though it was quite dark in there, both Inuyasha and Kagome noticed the red marks on Miroku's face.

 

`Having fun, Miroku?' asked Inuyasha.

`Oh yea!' said Miroku, smirking as he noticed a group of girls walking past.

`Anyways…' Sango interrupted. `Here's you gifts!'

Sango and Miroku handed Kagome and Inuyasha each a present.

`Aw, thanks, here's yours' said Kagome, giving Miroku and Sango their presents.

 

After when they talked about what they did during the holidays, they decided to dance.

 

`Let's go Inuyasha!' said Kagome, reaching out for his arms. But she stopped when she saw Kikyo coming towards them.

`Hey guys, enjoying the party?' asked Kikyo, casually.

`Yea Kikyo!' said Inuyasha, standing straight.

`Wanna dance?' asked Kikyo. But she grabbed Inuyasha's arm before he could answer and dragged him on to the dance floor. Kikyo started dancing to the fast beats and Inuyasha was just standing there. After a moment, he realized what happened and started moving with her.

 

`We're gonna go dance too, wanna come Kagome?' asked Sango.

`Uh, sure.' Said Kagome, looking over to Inuyasha.

 

They all kept dancing to the fast beat of the music. Sango was having too much fun to notice that Miroku was moving his hands to her ass…until it reached there. A loud slap was heard even with the loud music on. `Ow…'

Kagome rolled her eyes and caught sight of Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kikyo was grinding up and down his body and Inuyasha had a smug expression on. Kagome felt a hint of something at the sight of that, but she quickly brushed it away. The song they were dancing to slowly ended and a slow song replaced it. Everybody was pairing off with each other. Sango and Miroku moved closer to each other, Inuyasha and Kikyo doing the same. Kagome felt a bit lonely as she felt a tap on her shoulders.

 

`Kagome, you wanna dance with me?' Kouga asked, somewhat shyly.

`Sure' answered Kagome, feeling better having Kouga to dance with her.

 

Kagome felt awkward moving closer to Kouga, since she hardly knows him, but she knew that Kouga was a nice guy and he wasn't like the other jocks. He was kind and friendly and likes to help out people. He had never treated people as if they were below him. Kagome guessed that's why he was so popular.

 

As the song went on, Kagome felt Kouga pulling her closer, and she started to blush. As they turned, Kagome caught Sango's eyes and saw Sango giving her the thumbs up sign. Kagome returned a small smile and closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of having Kouga's strong arms around her.

 

Still with his arms loosely around Kikyo, Inuyasha looked around for Kagome, wondering if Kagome was lonely since he knew that she has no one to dance with. But he saw her dancing with Kouga, and she seemed to be enjoying herself a lot. Inuyasha felt a bit sad for some reason, seeing Kouga with his arms around Kagome. But he stopped when he felt Kikyo pressing her body to his. Inuyasha was surprised but didn't say anything and kept dancing, somewhat uncomfortably.

 

Kagome opened her eyes and saw Kikyo pressing her body to Inuyasha, Kagome couldn't see Inuyasha's face, which was turned the other way. Kagome felt sad and couldn't bear to see it, so she quickly closed her eyes again, wishing for the song to end. At long last, the song ended and Kagome quickly moved away from Kouga.

 

Inuyasha wanted to let go of Kikyo, but Kikyo has her arms tightly around his neck and wouldn't let go. Kagome saw this and she quickly ran out to the balcony.

 

As she sat down on one of the chairs, she looked up to the sky. It was a clear night, and Kagome was able to see some stars. For some reason, Kagome didn't feel happy at all. There was something in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it is. After thinking for a while, she thought to herself.

`Am I…jealous? But why should I be? I mean, me and Inuyasha are just best friend. It's not like I like him or anything. Shouldn't I be happy for him? Why am I so upset?' She felt tears running down her face. She stopped when she heard footsteps approaching.

 

`Kagome? Are you okay?' asked Kouga, kindly.

`Oh, yea, I just need some fresh air' answered Kagome, wiping her face. She looked down at her watch and saw that it was 9:30. `I wanna go home' said Kagome, more to her self. But Kouga heard what she said and looked at her. `But the party's not over yet!'

`I know, but I don't feel so well' said Kagome.

`Well, do you want me to walk you home? It's not safe for a girl to walk home so late alone.' Kouga asked kindly.

`Okay' answered Kagome `Let me tell the others first'

 

Kagome made her way to Miroku and Sango and told them she was going home and was making her way to Inuyasha but stopped when she saw what Kikyo was doing.

 

Kikyo was leaning closer to Inuyasha, still with her arms around his neck. She was whispering something in his ears (or so she thought where his ears were supposed to be). Inuyasha moved back, afraid that Kikyo might find out that his ears weren't there, but Kikyo didn't notice it in the dark and kept whispering.

 

At Kagome's point of view, she thought Kikyo was going to kiss Inuyasha, so she turned quickly back to Sango and told her to tell Inuyasha that she was going to walk home with Kouga.

 

`No problem!' said Sango, grabbing Miroku's hand (which was edging closer to her ass) `Good night!'

`Bye!' said Miroku, disappointed that Sango can still see so well in the dark.

 

Kouga and Kagome made their way out the door and out into the night.

They talked about themselves, getting to know each other better. When they reach Kagome's porch, Kouga took Kagome's hand and kissed it lightly.

 

`I had a great night tonight' Kouga told Kagome.

`Yea, me too' said Kagome, blushing.

`Well, bye! Merry Christmas!' said Kouga, turning to go back to the party.

`Bye!' called out Kagome, and she went inside.

 

`Hi honey! Why are you back so early?' asked Ms. Higurashi.

`Oh, I felt tired' lied Kagome.

`Okay then, did you eat anything yet?'

`No, I'm starving!' answered Kagome.

`Good, I left some turkey for you'

`Thanks mom!' said a hungry Kagome, sitting down, ready for a big dinner.

 

>>>>>AT THE PARTY>>>>>

 

Inuyasha finally got rid of Kikyo, saying he needed to use the bathroom. He quickly made his way back to Sango and Miroku.

 

`Hey, where's Kagome?' asked Inuyasha.

`Oh, she told us that she's walking home with Kouga' said Sango.

`WHAT? How come she didn't tell me?' asked Inuyasha, a bit jealous that Kagome didn't wait for him and was walking with Kouga.

`You were too busy doing your little dirty dancing with Kikyo' said Miroku, grinning and looked proud of Inuyasha.

`I weren't doing it, she was. She's pretty and all, but she's too…uh…what's the word?' Inuyasha said, thinking hard.

`Desperate, slutty and pushy?' filled in Sango.

`Yea, that' said Inuyasha `Well, no point staying here, I'm gonna go. Bye!'

`Bye!' Miroku and Sango said.

 

Inuyasha quickly made his way out the door, glad that Kikyo didn't see him. He walked alone out to the street, feeling a bit lonely.

`Why didn't she wait for me and walked home with Kouga? Usually she waits for me. Did she wanted Kouga to walk with her? Did Kouga made her walk with him? Nah. But why did she walk with him? …and why am I making such a big deal out of this? It sounds like I'm being jealous or something. Am I though?' Inuyasha was thinking hard about these questions when he reached his house. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only 9:45. `Sesshomaru's done right? Oh well, I'm only 15 minutes early.'

 

Inuyasha quietly opened the door and saw that no one was home, all the lights were off. He walked over to the kitchen and started making some ramen. Kikyo had clang on to him every second and didn't let him go anywhere. He was hungry. Suddenly, he heard a noise in Sesshomaru's room, he thought it was a burglar so he quietly took a frying pan and tip toed to the room. He turned the door and quickly turned on the lights to see…

 

>>>>>KAGOME'S HOUSE>>>>>

 

`Wow mom that was great!' said Kagome, patting her stomach.

`You're welcome!' said Ms. Higurashi.

 

-Ding Dong-

 

`I'll get it!' said Kagome, running to the door.

She was surprised when she saw who it was. `Inuyasha?'

`Hey Kagome!' Inuyasha said, stepping inside.

`What are you doing here? It's 10, shouldn't you be still at the party?' asked Kagome.

`Oh, no, I was sick of having Kikyo cling on to me everywhere I went so I left.'

`Oh!' said Kagome, feeling a bit happier and a bit surprised that Inuyasha didn't like having Kikyo around him.

 

Inuyasha followed Kagome to her room, not before saying hi to Ms. Higurashi, and closed the door when they reached there.

 

`Why'd you come here? Shouldn't you be at your house? Sesshomaru told you not to be home so late.' Kagome reminded him.

`Yea, but he also told me not to be home too early!' laughed Inuyasha `I went home at 9:45 and well…I was too early!'

`What happened?' Kagome said, noticing his grin.

`Well, when I got home, all the lights were off, so I thought no one was home, but then I heard something in Sesshomaru's room, so I went to check it out. I opened the door and turned on the lights and I saw…' Inuyasha hesitated.

`Saw what?' Kagome urged.

`I… uh… I saw Sesshomaru, topless, with Rin and they were making out' said Inuyasha.

`Oh' said Kagome, blushing at the thought.

`He was angry, and he told me not to go home till 12. I had nothing to do, so I decide to come here. Is it okay to stay till 12?' asked Inuyasha.

`Yea. No prob!' answered Kagome, cheerfully.

`So, why did you walk home with Kouga?' asked Inuyasha, trying not to sound too jealous.

`Oh, well, I was tired, and I wanted to go home, Kouga offered to walk with me cuz he thinks it's dangerous for me to walk alone.' Explained Kagome, noticing a bit of jealousy in his voice.

`Why didn't you wait for me?' questioned Inuyasha.

`Um…I saw Kikyo leaning towards you and I thought she was gonna…um…kiss you, so I didn't wanna interrupt. I told Sango to tell you afterwards.' Said Kagome, shyly

`No silly! She was whispering to me, well she thought she was whispering into my ears but…was she ever wrong' Inuyasha laughed, taking off his cap.

`Oh' smiled Kagome, reaching up to rub his ears.

`You thought she was gonna kiss me?' asked Inuyasha, enjoying the way Kagome was rubbing his ears.

`Yes' said Kagome.

`I would never let her kiss me!' said Inuyasha `Even if she did, I wouldn't kiss back!'

`Why are you telling me?' giggled Kagome.

`Well, just thought you wanted to know' grinned Inuyasha.

`Why would I wanna know?'

`You sounded jealous talking about Kikyo and me' teased Inuyasha.

`Well you were jealous too, talking about Kouga and me!' Kagome reminded him

They were both quiet after that, both blushing.

`Anyways, here's you're gifts!' said Kagome, giving Inuyasha his presents.

`Like I promised, here's yours' Inuyasha said, handing Kagome his present, as he took his.

 

`Wow, Kagome! Thanks!' said Inuyasha, after when he ripped opened his presents.

It was the new CD and a poster Inuyasha had wanted.

`Open your gift Kagome!'

`Kay' said Kagome, carefully opening her gift.

Kagome was speechless. The gift was a necklace with a K on it. It was really beautiful. `Inuyasha! This is beautiful!' cried Kagome, tightly wrapping her arms around Inuyasha's neck.

`Uh, you're welcome Kagome' said Inuyasha, blushing, as he tightly wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist.

They stayed like that for about a minute, enjoying having each other in their arms. Then Kagome realized what she was doing and pulled back. Inuyasha reluctantly let go.

`You want me to put it on for you?' asked Inuyasha, blushing madly.

`Um…sure' said Kagome, who were also blushing madly.

After putting it on, Inuyasha and Kagome decide to listen to the CD. Both were quiet listening to the music. Kagome lied on her bed and Inuyasha sat next to the bed on the floor.

 

At around 11:45, Inuyasha stood up, saying he has to go back home. But when he turned to look at Kagome, he saw that she was asleep. He stared at her pretty face, and her nice figure. He ran his finger through her soft hair and he blushed when she grabbed his hand and hold it in hers. He didn't want to wake her up, so he sat carefully back down on the ground, still staring at her.

 

`Inuyasha?' asked Ms. Higurashi, sticking her head in the door.

`Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Higurashi, for staying so late, but can I stay over for the night?' asked Inuyasha.

`Sure you can!' said Ms. Higurashi, noticing Inuyasha's concern for not waking up Kagome `I'll call your brother, so he won't worry'

`Thanks' whispered Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha went back to staring at Kagome, as her mother went out the door. Then he put he's head next to hers and fell asleep, still holding her hand.

 

Kagome smiled. She woke up when her mom and Inuyasha were talking, but she didn't open her eyes. She knew Inuyasha was staring at her, she smiled again, holding tightly on to Inuyasha's hand.

 

Both couldn't help but think what a great Christmas they were having, before they fell asleep.
