From Friendship to Love

Chapter Four: Homecoming Week - Tuesday!

Inuyasha woke at the sound of her alarm clock. He pushed it off the nightstand next to her bed. It immediately stopped its infernal screaming. Kagome stirred in his arms but did not wake. He looked at his watch and noted they had twenty more minutes till they had to leave for school. Since they didn't have to change or shower, just fix their hair and brush their teeth, he decided to let her sleep a little longer.

He looked down at the girl in his arms. He still had her in his arm but unlike before; after the alarm went off she had rolled on her back instead of lying on his chest. Their bodies were still touching. He brushed the strands of hair from her face; something inside of him began to tingle in his body and a warm sensation moved through his soul. Inuyasha didn't understand. He had touched her and looked at her a million times why was he now feeling strange things. She was so beautiful, and looked so peaceful when she sleeps.

`I must have been so worked up worrying about her I guess all my emotions are out of whack.' With that final thought he pushed them out of his head.

Inuyasha laid there for another ten minutes staring up at her ceiling.

Finally he decided to wake the angel sleeping next to him. An evil thought entered his head and he tipped toed down stairs for supplies before officially waking her up.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

The two best friends arrived separately at school a few minutes later. Inuyasha smirked as Kagome glared at him before locking her car and seeking out her friends.

`I better watch my back; I am sooo dead! Note to self never try that again.' He thought to himself remembering how he had wakened Kagome up. She wasn't pleased to say the least.

Inuyasha shrugged off her glare and walked in the direction of his locker where he knew Miroku would be.

Inuyasha found his friend asking a locker quite unsuccessfully to the homecoming dance.

"Feh, Just ask the girl already." Inuyasha told his friend as he approached the nervous boy.

Miroku did not answer, however, allowed his head to fall into the locker.

"Man just grow a set of balls, you'll never know unless you ask."

"I have balls!" Miroku removed his head from the locker trying to sound offended.

"Then prove it dumbass!"

"Ok may I will…The next time I…."

At that moment Sango, Kagome, and Destiny walked passed them. Miroku just stood there in shock and fear.

"Baka! Go already!" Inuyasha gave his friend a good kick in the ass.

Miroku nervously jogged to catch up to the girls. When he was within reaching distance he reached and tapped Sango on the shoulder to get her attention.

Upon feel a hand on her shoulder, Sango turned and smacked before that hand could explore any further. She regretted her actions when she saw the sadden look on Miroku's face.

"Sorry, Miroku, reflex you know how it is."

"Yeah, I guess…Um Sango…Ahhh…Umm."

Sango's eyebrow rose while Kagome and Destiny smiled ear to ear.

"What is it?"

"Yeah well…I…I…Iwaswonderingifyouwouldgotothehomecomingdancewit hme." He mumbled rapidly.

Sango barely caught what he had said but wanted to make sure she heard right.

"Slow down and say it again please."

Miroku took in a deep breath; "I asked if you would go to the Homecoming dance with me?"

Kagome pulled a protesting Destiny around the corner passing Inuyasha again along the way. She had wanted the two talk alone without any distractions.

Sango was excited and her heart fluttered and her mind was being practical.

`How is your night going to go? You know very well you'll be alone and he'll unconscious. You know I am right.'

As if reading her thoughts Miroku quickly added, "I promise I will not touch anything but your arms to escort you. Unless you tell me otherwise…" his eyes growing mischievously.

He couldn't resist a smile as Sango's eyes grew wide and her face bright scarlet.

"Otherwise! meaning giving me permission to slow dance with you." He finished before Sango could swing her very heavy looking backpack at his head.

Sango thought a few seconds longer and after much debate made her decision.

"Yes I…" she could not finish her sentence before Miroku swooped her up into a tight hug. After a long moment he finally released her, told her he'd call, and left skipping back down the hall towards Inuyasha.

Sango's eyes were as wide as saucers as she watched her date skip merrily down the hall.

`He must be very secure in his manhood.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Inuyasha looked for an escape; there was no way in hell he was going to let Miroku skip up to him and with that grin plastered on his face. He did not need to ask what Sango had said it was all over Miroku. Inuyasha's eyes darted, Kikyou had just come of a room right in front his gay looking friend, perfect excuse.

`The duties of being a boyfriend.'

Ignoring Miroku's attempts to catch his attention, Inuyasha swooped up Kikyou and carried her around the corner. The same one Kagome had taken Destiny.

"Hello? What you doing?" she asked.

"Getting away from the gay fag trying to talk to me."

Kikyou looked at him confused.

"See Miroku just asked Sango to go to the homecoming dance with him and apparently she said yes."

Kikyou's face turned from confusion to `ok as if I care about that' and her attention was redirected towards the sound of Kouga's voice.

Inuyasha's attention had been directed towards him as well. He let Kikyou down and turned towards his rival. His eyes widened when he realized that Kouga had Kagome's hand up to his lips.

"Kagome, my dear. I was wondering if you might accompany to the homecoming dance this Saturday?"

Inuyasha felt anger rise in him not really knowing why.

`HOW DARE HE!?! WHAT RIGHT DOES HE HAVE TO ASK HER THAT?' his mind was screaming.

Inuyasha was irritated and a voice entered his head.

`Why are you acting like this? She is not yours and Kouga has every right just like every other male in this school has the right to ask her something like that.'

Inuyasha felt a growl emerge deep inside him at the voice's words. He pushed all thoughts out of his mind settling on a final thought which answered the voice's question.

`Its responsibility to protect her like a brother would a sister, that is all. If he dare tries anything with her or hurts her in anyway then he will wish he was never born.'

He felt an unexpected ping in his heart when she answered Kouga's question.

"Yes I would love too." She saw a victorious smile spread across Kouga's face.

"…but" she continued, "no of this shit about me being your woman or anything, Got It?"

Kouga's smile never faltered, "Got it!"

The bell ran marking the beginning of school.

"Well it seems well have to discuss the details at a later time, my dear." With that said Kouga bow to `his woman' and took off for class.

Kagome smiled as Destiny gave congratulations and took off for her class as well. Kagome turned to go back in the direction her, Sango, and Destiny were originally going only to find Inuyasha staring at her in shock.

She mouthed a silent "later" to him noticing Kikyou behind him talking to a friend. Then she remembered what he did to her early this morning, glared at him and walked back towards class.

She wasn't mad but he definitely was in for some pay back.

*~*~*~*

Inuyasha was in a foul mood the rest of the day. He didn't quite understand why but it irritated him to no end that Kagome was going with Kouga to the homecoming dance.

Even after he had the satisfaction of scaring Kagome half to death earlier that morning causing her to wake up and sit straight up into a pan of whip cream, he still was in a foul mood.

Lunch only made things worse as he watched Kouga talk with Kagome about their plans for Saturday. The school officials had announced with winner for the spirit day and even though seniors won, Inuyasha was not happy.

"I still can't believe that sophomores won yesterday." Kikyou said after the announcement.

Nobody paid any attention. Most of the seniors at the table were still screaming with joy and yelling "YOU SUCK" to the lower classmen. Miroku was still off in dreamland and Inuyasha was borrowing holes into Kouga's back

~*~*~*~*~*

.

For Inuyasha his day pretty much sucked. He managed to make it through the rest of the day without strangling Kouga. Now he was sitting in pure torture. He hated eating dinner Kikyou's family. Her mother was sheet white with ice blue eyes never spoke nor displayed any type of emotion. She might as well be dead. As for Kikyou's father, Inuyasha hated him more than his own father. Naraku had long black hair, which was always tied back in a ponytail. His eyes were almost black and he gave off a dark aura.

Dinner was eaten in silence and awkwardness at least for Inuyasha. He couldn't wait till dinner was over then he could spend some time with Kikyou away from her cold parents. Then after he left Kikyou's house then and only then would he be able to call his best friend and ask her what the hell she was thinking.

But for now he was stuck in hell.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Sango and Kagome plopped down on Kagome's couch after dinner and began discussing plans for Saturday while Souta popped a movie in the VCR and sat on the floor below the couch.

At three on Saturday they both planned to get their hair done, nails done, the works then head back to Kagome's house to finish getting ready. Kouga, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kikyou, and a few other friends were stopping by in a limo to pick them up for dinner around 7:00 and the dance started at 9:00.

Sango and Kagome were a little nervous eating with the preps but with a little bit of hope everything would go over perfectly. Kagome, however, secretly prayed that the night would not be ruined with her, Inuyasha, and Kikyou all in the same limbo. Who knows what might happen. Especially in public her and Inuyasha had to hate each other.

The movie ended and Souta announced he was going to bed. Not long after he left the room the phone rang.

"Kagome, dear, its for you." Her mom called out.

"Who is it?"

"Ahh…your best friend dear."

Sango watched Kagome's eyes light up and a slight smile spread across her friends face.

"I get it up in my room, mom! Be right back, Sango."

With that Kagome took off upstairs into her room and picked up her phone.

Sango knew Kagome had a best friend. But she didn't know much about her. Sango always figured she was a friend from before Kagome moved to their school. Her curiosity got the best of her and she walked up stairs to Kagome's room and peeped her head inside.

Kagome was lying on her stomach across the bed. Her back was towards Sango who silently stood at the doorway listening for some clues about Kagome's best friend.

"ARE YOU SICK?" Inuyasha yelled when Kagome answered the phone.

Kagome pulled the phone from her ear until his yelling ceased.

"No?" she answered not quite sure where he was going with this.

"ARE YOU SURE? Cause only a sick person would dare go out with that Idiot Kouga."

`So that's what this about' she thought to herself.

"Why? What is wrong with going to homecoming dance with Kouga?" she wasn't going to get angry, Inuyasha was only being…well Inuyasha.

"EVERTHING! FOR STARTERS HE'S AN ASS!"

"STOP YELLING INTO THE PHONE!" She yelled then heard him grumble.

"First, its only a dance. Second, Kouga's only an ass to you because you provoke him. And third, I understand your only trying to protect me but I can date whom ever I want you're not my boyfriend. However you are my best friend and thus your opinion is more important than anyone else's."

"…." Inuyasha didn't say anything.

"I will be okay but if it disturbs you that much then I will decline his offer."

Inuyasha heard the sadness in her voice, "No don't do that. I am just being stupid and over protective I guess. But if he hurts you, Kagome, so help me, they will have to lock me away to stop me from torturing then killing the bastard."

"Well in that case, I will be extra cautious, I would hate to lose my best friend to prison." She giggled.

"Feh"

"How was your dinner with her parents?"

"Don't ask."

"That bad eh?"

"As always"

"I'm sorry. But hey Sango's down stairs and I don't want to keep her waiting too long."

"Ha! I hope she's in better condition that Miroku."

"She's perfectly fine why?"

"The idiot was dazed all day with a stupid grin plastered on his face. At practice today I believe he was hit in the head five times cause he was staring off into the distance and when he actually had some sense to run with the ball he went in the wrong direction and made a touch down for the other side during the scrimmage."

"Poor boy, he's that excited about going to the dance with her?"

"Yes to the extreme."

"That's so cute, but I have go now, k?"

"Alright, I'll be over in the morning to see you before school."

"I'll be up, night."

"Night."

Sango raced back downstairs when she heard Kagome say good night making sure she didn't make noise.

`So her best friend is a boy? He knows Kouga? And apparently he knows both Miroku and myself?' Sango's mind tried to piece together what little information she had.

`He has to be from around here…'

Her thoughts were interrupted when Kagome came back down stares. The girls talked a few minutes finalizing Saturday's events. The Sango left still trying to figure out who Kagome's best friend was.

---------------------

That was chapter four! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Sorry it was slow had to get the couples together for the dance. Next chapter will prolly skipped through Wednesday, and go through Thursday and Friday.

Thursday = An attack on Shard High! Pep Rally and getting even with other school

Friday = Parade, Game and Homecoming queen crowned (boo boo)

So next chapter will be fairly long.

Then Chapter Six will be the dance FINALLY and some fluff involved.

Then the after Chapter Six I get on with the story and for an idea of what's to come:

-Sango and Miroku make a discovery

-Kouga's an ass

-Realization of secret feelings (have a couple of places I want to do this can't decide which is best)

-Xmas/New Years

-Valentines (fluff)

-Tragedy strikes/Spring Break

-Amusement park (fluffy stuff!)

-Graduation!!! (Kikyou finds out! I am going to have lots of fun with that so if you're a Kikyou fan sorry….but you may not want to read it)

I might add a few more other events here and there but that is the main jest of the story. The list aren't the chapters but the events that are to come.

Next chapter soon I promise!
