"Thanks for stopping by." Kagome said as she followed Inuyasha out of the elevator. They stopped by the small stairs. "See ya tomorrow?"
Some of the residents around them giggled.
"Sure. We've gotta celebrate this A." Inuyasha smirked. "I think to celebrate, you should take me out instead this time."
More girls giggled.
Kagome thought about it. "All right." She agreed. "Don't order too much though because 'I'm not spoilin' ya.'" She laughed.
Inuyasha gave her a quick nod and turned to leave, but realized there was a group of girls stopping him. "What's your problem?"
The residents giggled as they pointed to a sign that was just made. "Congratulations. You two can be the first!"
"Each year during Christmas, our dorm hosts events to raise money for Emmaus House." One of the residents explained. "This year we're hosting KISS or BUST." She said as she pointed to the mistletoe above Kagome and Inuyasha's heads. "When a couple get caught under the mistletoe, they have to kiss. If they choose not to, they each have to put 10.00 in the jar. If they kiss each other on the cheek, it's 6.00 though."
Kagome and Inuyasha's mouth dropped wide open.
"This wasn't down here before!" Inuyasha complained.
"We just put it up about ten minutes ago." One of the residents explained as she pointed to the huge sign hanging over the mistletoe "We have a huge one outside too, in the front entrance." She smiled. "Officially, you two are the first!"
Inuyasha grumbled and fidgeted for his wallet. "Crap, I left it at home."
Kagome sighed. She looked in her own purse, but it wasn't pay day yet.
"Well?" one of the residents pressed. "Are you going to help charity or yourselves?"
The residents watched and giggled as they saw Inuyasha and Kagome fumble all over themselves. Truth be told, there were some rules the girls were omitting to the two under the mistletoe…but the entire dormitory knew about Inuyasha and Kagome. They were always together as 'friends'.
It was time to push these two together.
Inuyasha patted his jeans again. "This is bogus. You dumb broads won't get away for this for too long, mark my words."
Kagome just bit her lip. "Isn't there any loopholes to this?"
The residents just smiled at each other. There were many loopholes, of course. "Nope!" One of the residents pointed to the sign above Inuyasha and Kagome. "Between 5:45 and 7:45 this takes place. Sign says it perfectly."
"Well, the sign wasn't up when I came in." Inuyasha grumbled.
"Come on, do it already!" One of the eager residents yelled. "It looked like you would have no problem with it before."
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha timidly. "Uhhh…"
"Oh come on, what's a harmless kiss between friends?" one of the residents persuaded them.
"Yeah…" Inuyasha admitted slowly. "One won't hurt I guess."
"Sure…" Kagome smiled nervously. "It can be quick."
"Yeah, good idea." Inuyasha agreed.
The residents watched patiently. Neither Inuyasha nor Kagome had made a move.
"Come on." One of the girls said impatiently. "We don't want to be here all day." She frowned stubbornly. "But we will if we have to."
"O-Okay." Kagome replied. She didn't feel well. Her legs felt really shaky. "I-Inuyasha? You close your eyes, and I-I'll do it."
"Okay." Inuyasha said faintly. He closed his eyes.
Kagome gulped. 'It's just a quick kiss. That's it. This shouldn't be hard.' She tried to lean up, but her knees were shaking too much. She grabbed onto his jacket. Could she reach him?
He bent his head down slightly as he wrapped his arms around her for support. 'Just a tiny kiss. I can do that. I've kissed hundreds of women. This'll be simple.'
Kagome gulped when she felt Inuyasha's head on hers. She moved her head down slowly over his nose. She bit her lip nervously as their noses touched. She took a deep breath before finally placing her lips upon his.
No one made a sound. The couple under the mistletoe, the residents, or even the onlookers. No motion and no sound.
Neither Inuyasha nor Kagome knew what was happening.
They were lost in the moment with each other. No one else besides them existed.
Inuyasha tightened his hold on Kagome. He just couldn't let go.
Kagome lovingly wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. Nothing in her mind or body said what she was doing was wrong. It seemed right. It just felt so right.
Neither of them let go for some time. No one dared to interrupt them.
It was the sweetest kiss any of the residents had ever seen.
It wasn't until someone coming from the outside sneezed, that the couple had opened their eyes.
The moment was halted, and reality dropped on them like a ton of bricks.
Inuyasha quickly turned away. "Th-there. I gotta go." He managed to say.
"K-kay." Kagome stuttered. That's all she could say for some reason. Her body felt so different, so tingly.
Inuyasha tried to walk casually out the door, but his legs felt like jell-o. Once he was out the door though, his feeling came back, and he quickly ran to his car.
Kagome didn't see his quick escape because she was busy making her own by running up the stairs.
Everyone that watched the situation couldn't help but notice how fast the romantic situation disappeared.
"Wow." One of the residents breathed as she shut her recorder off the girls had decided to use to record the first kiss. "I've never seen anything soo…"
She sighed deeply. "Now THAT's love."
