It was ridiculous. Really, it was. Why couldn’t people just leave her alone? The next morning after her fight with Inuyasha, Sango had forced her out of bed to make up with him. So here she was. In the auditorium of the main house, sitting a good ten feet away from Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku were seated on the stage floor across from them.
“Kagome?”
No answer.
“Inuyasha?”
No answer.
Miroku sighed. This was getting him nowhere. The two adults in front of him were two of the most stubborn people he had the pleasure of meeting and befriending.
“Look. You two got off on the wrong foot. Can’t you just kiss and make up?” Miroku teased.
“Miroku!” Sango huffed.
Miroku had at least wanted to get a reaction out of Inuyasha but he didn’t even bat an eye. Neither did Kagome. This was going to take a lot of work. Miroku and Sango glanced at each other then rose to go over to their friends. Sango swivelled Kagome and Miroku swivelled Inuyasha so that the two faced each other. Neither one protested, keeping their arms and legs crossed, mouth in a tight line. Might as well start simple.
“Now Kagome. Why are you mad at Inuyasha?”
Kagome sighed. “He said I should be grateful that he asked me to dance with him.”
“Inuyasha?” Miroku prompted.
“She’s not worth it.”
“Well, if you actually took the time to teach her, being the strong, graceful, and overall great teacher that you are, she would be great in time for the competition.”
Hey. Who said he shouldn’t suck up and stroke Inuyasha’s already over-inflated ego? It was already bigger than his head.
“Keh.”
“Look you guys. Can’t you just get over the argument and move on? It would be nice if the four of us could get along and hang out together.” Sango added.
Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other then turned their heads abruptly from the other, nose defiantly in the air. The two were so much alike it was comical.
“Fine.”
“Whatever.”
“Good. Now Sango and I need to practice." Miroku turned to Sango and bowed at the waist. "My lady, may I have the pleasure of this dance?"
Sango, being a kidder herself, smiled and courtesied, then walked off with the young man. Kagome turned her whole body from Inuyasha as music started playing and the pair started dancing. She would smile and laugh whenever Miroku’s hands would wander too far down Sango’s backside and when Sango would slide it back up to a decent height on her back. Meanwhile, with Inuyasha:
“What are those two thinking? Especially that pervert? I’ve only had one partner for every competition I’ve been in. It won’t be the same without her but I still want to dance. That girl though. She’s annoying but she seems like a fast learner. Ah...what the hell?”
Inuyasha stood up and walked over to Kagome. He stood beside her, gaze locked on the dancing couple. Kagome looked beside her at his pants’ leg.
“What does you want?”
Inuyasha cleared his throat, trying to rein in his temper. “Do you...want to dance?”
Kagome thought she heard wrong. When she looked up to give him a questioning look, his outstretched hand greeted her. His gaze was still on Miroku and Sango. Kagome tentatively placed her hand in his expecting him to pull back in the last second and laugh in her face. Instead, Inuyasha looked at her and enclosed her hand in his. Kagome blushed as he pulled her to her feet.
“Her hand is so tiny. She’s kinda cute though. Still annoying. Keh. What the hell am I saying?”
Inuyasha took her other hand and placed it on his shoulder. He then placed his hand on her hip.
“Now, it isn’t all about the steps. It’s about the music. If you find the rhythm then you’re set.”
Kagome just nodded. Inuyasha sighed. This was going to take a while.
“You were slow dancing last night so you know a little about what you are doing.”
“I was just following.”
“I’m surprised you learned anything from Koga and Naraku. Let’s get started. Fox Trot.”
“Ok.”
“Relax. Go with me.”
Inuyasha stepped forward with his left foot, gently putting pressure on Kagome to make her take a step backwards, then Inuyasha stepped forward with his right. Kagome followed suit. Inuyasha then took his left forward and then to the left. As soon as Kagome did her feet the same way he brought his right foot to stand beside his left.
“That’s all there is for the forward steps.”
Kagome looked surprised and relieved. “That’s it?”
“Yep.” Inuyasha smiled at her face but mentally smirked.
"Wait until the other dances."
“Now backwards.”
Inuyasha and Kagome continued dancing the Fox Trot for another hour until Inuyasha felt confident enough that Kagome had an idea of how to dance to it. Miroku and Sango had left at the end of the hour to get back to work. Kagome watched Inuyasha go through cds from her spot on the floor. Desired cd in hand, Inuyasha opened the old portable boombox he had owned for six years and placed the new cd inside. After hitting the play button he made his way back to Kagome.
"Have you ever heard American music?"
"Some. Why?"
"How about classical?"
"Can't say that I have."
"Ok. You aren't going to be used to this then but that's why I am here. To help wenches with two left feet learn how to dance."
Kagome was about to yell at him when he cut her off.
"Come on Ka-go-me. We don't have all day."
When the pair had linked hands the music began to play.
"What is this?" Kagome questioned curiously as the tune filtered to her ears.
"Its called a waltz."
"Doesn't sound easy." Kagome began worrying her bottom lip.
Inuyasha leaned towards her. "Don't worry about it."
The raven-haired girl nodded and blushed.
"Watch me first." Inuyasha let her hand and hip go and backed up a few paces and began to dance as he told Kagome the steps. "Both feet side by side. Left foot one step. Bring your right foot a step past your left and turn it to where the inside of your foot is perpendicular to the top of your left foot. Then bring your left foot beside your right. Got that so far?"
"Got it."
"Next you take your right back one step then bring your left a step past your right so that the inside is perpendicular to the bottom of your right foot then bring your right to stand with your feet together. That's all you do and it forms a cirlcular pattern."
Inuyasha walked back to Kagome and took up her hand and placed his left hand back on her hip. You are going to be doing it backwards from me ok? I'll help you out."
Kagome nodded and looked down at her feet before Inuyasha even took his first step. He forced her chin back up so she could look directly into his eyes.
"Your eyes never leave mine. I'll tell you which foot to move. Right back. Now my right foot goes by you and you are going to move your left back, I take a step with my left and you put your right beside your left. Are you with me?"
"Sure."
"Let's do this then."
Inuyasha proceeded to do left turn patterns with Kagome until she got the hang of it and when they were going pretty fast without her slipping up. After that he had them going right until she got the hang of that.
"Now we are going to do something called a whisk. I'm just going to tell you your moves."
"I don't know if I can remember all these steps." She said nervously.
"Try to remember this one like this. Slow, quick, quick, slow."
"Slow, quick, quick, slow?"
"Yeah. Like this. Take a step back with your right. Ok. Take a quick step back with your left foot where its right under your shoulder. Good. Another quick step. Your right foot behind your left then a slow step with your left coming beside your right. Thats pretty good Kagome."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Anything to get you to where you think you are doing good. You probably got some low self-esteem and are one of those girls that needs to be told often that she's pretty and smart when she's really not."
Kagome snatched her body away from him, turning many shades of red, clenching her fists. "Why you no good..."
Inuyasha lunged at Kagome taking up a dancing position. "DIP!"
Kagome screamed so loud from the unexpected movement and caused Inuyasha to drop her right on her back to cover his ears.
"Geeze girl. Why do you have to scream like that!?" Inuyasha yelled, still clutching his poor fiuzzy triangles.
"You shouldn't have done that while I wasn't prepared for it." She huffed while getting up off the ground.
"Keh. Whatever. Let's get out of here. We've been here for three hours."
Without a response from the still furious girl Inuyasha walked to the doors.
"Wait up you arrogant pig." Kagome yelled trying to catch up to him.
When she got close to his back he turned on her, making her skid to a stop, and pointed his finger in her face. "I'm a dog demon. Not a pig."
"Sure fooled me." She growled low in her throat.
"Come on Gome!"
Kagome went outside and sat on the steps of the auditorium to wait for Inuyasha to turn all the lights out and lock up. Inuyasha stood behind Kagome, who didn't hear him behind her, and watched her stretch and rub her legs. Kagome jumped a bit at the sound of his voice.
“You feel ok?”
“I feel great.” Kagome muttered sarcastically.
Inuyasha leaned towards her.
“Wait until the morning.” That arrogant smirk was on his face again.
Kagome sighed. “Can’t wait.”
Inuyasha sat back up and growled low in his throat.
“Inuyasha? What’s wrong?”
“I smell wolf.” Inuyasha said that word like it made him sick to say it.
Kagome looked to the direction Inuyasha was staring and, sure enough, Koga appeared.
“Hey Kagome!”
“Hi Koga.”
“Mutt.”
“Wolf.”
“So Kagome? What are you doing with the puppy?”
Inuyasha growled louder.
“He was showing me how to dance.”
“I could have taught you.”
Kagome blushed a little.
Inuyasha cut in. “Aren’t you already busy teaching Ayame.”
Somehow seeing Kagome blush at Koga pissed him off. Geeze, he’d only met her a couple times but not enough for him to start feeling something for her. During practice he kept looking at her face, trying to memorize her features. The girl would blush furiously and look away from him. "Still so innocent."
“We already know our dance for the competition.”
“Practice makes perfect.”
“You saying I can’t dance?”
Koga and Inuyasha were in each other’s faces, growling. Kagome stepped between them, facing Koga.
“Knock it off you guys.”
“See if you can teach this dog some new tricks, Kagome. Later.”
Koga ran off in the direction he came from. Kagome turned to Inuyasha.
“You two sure are close.”
Inuyasha sent her a look. “Like lovers.”
Kagome laughed but stopped when her stomach growled. She blushed a little. “I missed dinner.”
“The mess hall is closed for tonight.” Inuyasha provided for her after a quick glance at his watch.
“I didn’t bring anything but candy with me.”
Inuyasha began walking to the main house. “Follow me.”
Kagome cocked her head to the side and blinked.
“Maybe he is a nice guy under that rough exterior.”
Kagome followed him obediently. While she was mulling over Inuyasha she didn’t notice that he had stopped. She bumped into him softly with a small “Oomph.”
“Clumsy, aren’t you?”
She could just see the grin on his face. She brushed by him and made a beeline to the fridge. Upon opening the door she squealed.
“Chocolate cake!”
Inuyasha’s ears flattened to his skull. “That’s not real food.”
Kagome pouted. “But its chocolate cake.”
Inuyasha sighed and rolled his eyes. This girl was silly. He went to the cabinets and started rummaging while Kagome still looked in the fridge.
“Ah ha!”
Kagome bumped her head on one of the shelves from Inuyasha’s outburst. She shut the door while rubbing her head and looked in his direction. There he was, brimming in satisfaction, with his simple find.
“Ramen.”
“I can see that.”
“Better than cake. Want some?”
“Sure.”
Kagome smiled at how nice he was being but instantly frowned when he threw it to her.
“You fix it then.”
Kagome felt her anger rising. She could blow up at him and throw it back or just walk out. Or. “You don’t know how to cook Ramen?”
Inuyasha gave her a cynical look. “Of course I can.”
“Then what’s the problem?” Kagome persisted.
Inuyasha couldn’t tell her that he wanted a woman to fix it. It was always better when he didn’t make it. He put on a scowl.
“I brought you here.”
“You didn’t have to. I was going to eat cake.”
Inuyasha grew frustrated. She was good. “Will you just fix it?!”
Kagome cheered to herself. She could get him mad too. No reason for him to win all the time. Inuyasha did help her get a pot down that was out of her reach. She quickly but efficiently fixed Ramen...four packs of it. Three for him and one for her. Their late night dinner was ate in comfortable silence except for the constant slurping coming from Inuyasha. The guy didn’t believe in chopsticks. Nope. It was bowl to mouth. Kagome stuck a napkin to his chin when he was done. He blushed and cleared his throat.
“Let’s go, Kagome. I’ll take you to your cabin.”
Kagome nodded and they proceeded to the cabin. As Kagome climbed the steps to her door, she didn’t expect him to speak.
“Kagome?”
“Yes?”
“Want to practice tomorrow?”
“I’ll have to check with mom first.”
“I’ll be available after lunch until seven. Dance lessons on the terrace.”
“Ok. I’ll see you then maybe.”
Inuyasha nodded and turned to walk away.
“Goodnight Inuyasha.”
“Call me Yash. Night Kagome.”
Kagome smiled and walked into her room. She quickly changed into her pajamas, the smile never leaving her face.
“Maybe he is warming up to me. He took me to get some food and his even letting me call him by his nick name.” Kagome’s face fell. “He’ll never go for a girl like me though.”
With that last final thought she turned off the light and slowly fell asleep.
“Kagome?”
No answer.
“Inuyasha?”
No answer.
Miroku sighed. This was getting him nowhere. The two adults in front of him were two of the most stubborn people he had the pleasure of meeting and befriending.
“Look. You two got off on the wrong foot. Can’t you just kiss and make up?” Miroku teased.
“Miroku!” Sango huffed.
Miroku had at least wanted to get a reaction out of Inuyasha but he didn’t even bat an eye. Neither did Kagome. This was going to take a lot of work. Miroku and Sango glanced at each other then rose to go over to their friends. Sango swivelled Kagome and Miroku swivelled Inuyasha so that the two faced each other.
