From Friendship to Love

Chapter Six: Saturday, Homecoming Dance

Kagome and Sango spent most of the day at the beauty salon getting facials, manicures, pedicures, their hair and make up done. They returned to Kagome's house shortly before four in the afternoon. They had three hours till Kouga and Miroku would be there to pick them up so the two girls decided to watch a movie and chat until they had to get ready.

Sango unsuccessfully tried to get clues from Kagome about who her best friend was. It was no use; Sango noticed that Kagome watched what she said when she would inquire about him.

When the movie ended the girls ran upstairs to finish getting ready.

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

Right at seven Kouga and Miroku knocked on Kagome's door. Souta answered the door and upon realizing who was there he yelled for his sister and her friend.

Sango was first to come out of the door. Her hair had been done up in a loose bun with strands hanging around her face. Generously spread in her hair was tiny silver flowers. Miroku gave his date a genuine smile, as he looked her over from head to toes. She had on a black dress, which had one-inch straps. The dress clung light to her body. One side of the dress stopped right above her knee as the other side slanted down to her ankles.

"You look beautiful lady Sango." Miroku said as she blushed under his gazed.

He extended his arm for her to take when she thanked him. They then walked towards the limo with Inuyasha and Kikyou inside.

Inuyasha watched Miroku's eyes bulge out of his head when Sango exited the house. He shook his head while watching them come closer to the limo. He was sitting next to window watching his friends; Kikyou sat next to him touching up her makeup.

Inuyasha's jaw dropped mentally when he noticed Kagome step outside. Her hair was up in a high ponytail clasped with a sparkling barrette. Her hair hung down at her shoulders and he could see by the moonlight that her hair was covered with glitter. His eyes wondered down her body to take notice of the dress she was wearing. It was a baby blue iridescent spaghetti strapped dress. Across her bosom the fabric was ruffled together. Right at the seam that crossed below her breast the fabric separated. The baby blue clung tightly to her perfect form whereas the iridescent fabric v-ed out from the seam and hung loosely over the baby blue cloth. The dress stopped inches above her knees. Her blue dressed accentuated her sparkling blue eyes.

Inuyasha felt a growl rise deep within him as he watched Kouga take her hand and kiss it. Kikyou noticed that Inuyasha's attention was not directed at her so she decided to change that. As Kouga and Kagome walked towards the limo, Kikyou jumped onto Inuyasha's lap and with her hand moved his chin so that he was facing her. Before he could protest she planted a deep and strong kiss on his lips.

Miroku and Sango rolled their eyes as the couple continued to make out. Miroku mumbled under his breath, "Get a room."

Kikyou and Inuyasha were still at it when Kagome got inside the limo. She had a smile up to the point she noticed the couple. She felt her heart fall to the deep pits of her stomach. She didn't understand why it was affecting her so much and cursed her self as she felt the tears swell up inside of her. Desperately trying to keep from crying in front of every body she sat next to opposite window and stare out it until Kouga demanded attention from her.

He had sat next to her and noticed her change in mood. He figured because she was forced to spend most of the night with two people she did not get along well with. So he tried cheering her up.

Kouga leaned over towards her ear and whispered in it, "We thought about putting Inuyasha and Kikyou in the book of world records for the longest kissing session but they said that if the female was a horny bitch that automatically disqualified them on the terms there was ulterior motive."

Kagome giggled knowing that he failed miserably at trying to truthfully insult the bitch but she still thought that it was funny that he tried. She decided right then not to let anything ruin the night, she was going to enjoy it. With that she whispered a "thank you" to Kouga as he grinned at her.

Inuyasha had opened his one eye when he heard Kagome take her seat. He couldn't help notice the sadness that suddenly played at her features. He watched as Kouga whispered something in her ear and she laughed. He felt the growl return to his chest seeing her give him one of her trademark smiles.

He finally ceased his make out session with Kikyou when a loud "AHEM!!" was heard from Miroku.

"Sorry man, you know how it is." Inuyasha answered him, helping Kikyou back into her seat.

Miroku glared at him for the remark but quickly shook it off. Kikyou sat reapplying her makeup when she noticed Kagome sitting adjacent to her.

"Hey, when did we stop at the street corner to put up the slut?" Kikyou spat out.

Inuyasha's face turned dark as he clinched his fist and bit hard on his tongue. Kagome noticed he was about to explode before he turned to look out the window trying to gain some control over himself.

"You call me a slut, when you were the one sucking face for ten minutes?"

Kikyou made a dash at an unflinching Kagome but was stopped by Inuyasha's arm. She noticed the look in her boyfriend's eyes that said "Enough." Kikyou grumbled a "bitch" under her breath but ceased `the would be' fight between her and Kagome.

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

Dinner went by quickly with no battles between those who would fight. They arrived at the dance only fifteen minutes after it had started. The group claimed their table for the night and separated to mingle or dance.

Kagome and Kouga hit it off, and had a great time dancing and getting to know each other. Sango and Miroku were getting closer by the hour realizing that they actually might have a chance at a relationship. Right when Miroku had built up the courage to ask Sango out officially the principle got up on stage and announced it was time for the crowning of the homecoming king.

The candidates took their places up on stage while the homecoming queen stood behind them with the crown above their heads. She was shown the card that had the name of the winner and began to slowly move over each head.

Kagome caught Inuyasha's eyes and gave him a bright smile. There was not a doubt in the room as to whom Kikyou had to place the crown on. Seconds later Kikyou, as expected, place the crown on her boyfriend's head. The crowd went wild with cheers. It was time for the king and queen dance, Kagome did not feel like watching. She was happy for her best friend but something in her just didn't want to watch.

She grabbed Kouga to return to the table but instead was swept a way by a hyper Sango. Kouga looked after his date as she was pulled into the ladies room with confusion spread across his face.

Upon entering the bathroom Sango turned and hugged her friend dearly.

"Sango, are you feeling ok." Kagome asked.

"I fine, but you'll never guess!"

"What?"

"He's perfect with the exception of his perverted habits, he's sweet, romantic, honest, funny, cute, and adorable."

Kagome shook her head, smiling that her friend was so happy.

"Oh, Kagome I have not told you the best part!"

"And you're waiting for what to tell me?"

Sango rolled her eyes and continued, "We are official!!! He just asked me out."

Sango and Kagome began jumping up and down like two schoolgirls laughing and chatting.

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

Kouga watched as Kagome and Sango exited the ladies room. Miroku informed him of the good news and now knew what the girls were discussing. Him and Miroku also had a little chat about a possible thing with Kagome. He would not mind date the girl, she was sweet and if he was lucky he could get something more.

When Kagome returned to the table Kouga asked her to dance. A slow song was playing as he escorted her out to the dance floor.

Inuyasha was still dancing with Kikyou when he noticed his best friend and rival step out onto the dance floor. His mind started reeling, it was driving him nuts watching Kouga hold Kagome so close it him. Inuyasha heard the voices in his mind again.

`So? Your jealous?'

`I AM NOT JEALOUS!' he answered the voice in his head.

`Then why are you shooting darts at Kouga in your mind?'

`Cause I can't stand the bastard, and Kagome is like the sister I never had and if he dare touches her, I'll kill him.'

`Oh YEAH! Your Jealous!'

`AM NOT!'

`ARE TOO!'

`NOT!'

`TOO!!'

Inuyasha shook his head trying to stop the argument with himself. Kikyou had taken noticed and asked him what was wrong.

"Nothing, babe, just have a little headache that's all."

"Do you want to sit down for a little bit?"

"Yeah but we'll finish this song, ok?"

She smiled at him and nodded, then replaced her head back on his shoulder and pulled him closer to her.

Inuyasha continued to glare at Kouga while Kouga whispered in Kagome's ear again. She looked at Kouga with shock at first then nodded a response. Inuyasha's eye grew wide as he saw Kouga pull Kagome's chin up and kiss her. Inuyasha tightened his grip on Kikyou trying to control the need to go tear Kouga to pieces.

When the song ended, he quickly pulled Kikyou off the dance floor knowing that if he stayed he was going to wind up regretting his actions. Not long after Kikyou and him reached the table that they found out that Sango and Miroku were now a couple.

"Kouga was suppose to ask Kagome out during this song but I can't see either of them so I don't know if he did." Miroku simply stated not expecting Kikyou or Inuyasha to care.

Inuyasha felt a wave a nausea wash over him as his anger and irritation returned. When Kouga and Kagome returned they announced their news that yes in fact they were an item now. Kagome noticed Inuyasha's sour face and expected to hear a nice long lecture when he came over to her house later that night. She shrugged it off and concentrated on having a good time.

The rest of the night flew by; when Inuyasha wasn't dancing with Kikyou he was sulking though everybody thought it was because of his headache. The group left the dance right before it ended and the limo took everybody home.

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

Kagome sat on her bed listening to the radio and waiting for Inuyasha. She had been dropped off at home an hour ago and so she expected Inuyasha any minute.

Inuyasha climbed up to her window and jumped in. He had some time to think and cool down on his way over. He decided that he wasn't going to stand in her way and that he'd be there for her. When he got inside, he saw her stand looking directly into his amber eyes.

"Do you trust him?" he simply asked.

She was lost in the concern that clouded his eyes but was able to give him a nod as an answer.

"Ok, then I will stand by you, just I refuse to be held responsible for my actions if he hurts you." He watched her face light up and before he could react, she launched herself at him embracing him in a tight warm hug.

"Thank you, Inuyasha." He heard her say against his shoulder. He smiled and inhaled her scent, she always smelt of jasmine.

As he was holding her in his arms, he listened to the radio as it went from the DJ to the next song. Inuyasha recognized the song as one of Kagome's favorites even though it was an older song. His mind registered it as a slow song and remembered that his angel owed him a dance.

He pulled her away from his shoulder so he could look into her deep blue eyes. He smirked, "I believe you owe me a dance, little girl."

He watched her facial features light up. He wrapped his arms tight around her tiny waist pulling her close to him. She already had her arms around his neck but she rested her head back on his shoulder and they started to slow dance when the song lyrics began.

**I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side**

Inuyasha started to sing softly with the words to Kagome.

**I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart

`Coz I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart**

She removed her head from his shoulder and got lost in the amber orbs that were staring straight into her soul. He continued to sing to her.

**And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there

For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear**

His gripped around her waist tightened as he felt butterflies soar through his stomach and tingles spread through his body. He continued with the song.

**I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls

And when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
`Coz as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all

And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there

For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear**

Their lips were only centimeters apart. Kagome could feel his warm breath on her lips. She couldn't tell who was trembling more her or Inuyasha.

**I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there

For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart
I swear, i swear, oh... i... swear...**

As the singer continued to hold out the last line of the song, Inuyasha had stopped singing as his lips moved closer and closer to Kagome's. Both their eyes were closed now and Kagome felt the feathery touch of his lips. It would only take a tiny movement to completely cause their lips to touch in a kiss. Inuyasha went to make that move and…

The Lone Ranger.

Inuyasha pulled his head away from Kagome's and answered his cell phone. Kagome just stood there trying to comprehend what almost just happened. Inuyasha's mind was in the same state, however, he was currently being bombarded an angry girlfriend.

"Inuyasha where are you?!? I called your house three times and they told me that you had not come home yet?"

"I…I…I am outside looking at the stars. I have told anybody I am home yet." His eyes locked with Kagome's.

"Ohhh, well don't scare me like that!"

"Yeah ok, `whatever' is there something you wanted?"

"Yes honey, I left my purse in the limo could you possibly bring it by tonight. I need my credit card, I am going shopping in the morning."

Inuyasha inwardly grumbled, "Yeah, I'll be over when I find it."

"Yay! Thank you sweetie, see you soon, love you."

"you too bye" he hung up the phone not waiting for her good bye.

They stood there looking at each other not knowing what to say. It seemed like forever before Inuyasha spoke up.

"Yeah, well I ahh…I have to go take Kikyou back her purse, so I guess I'll see you later."

"Ok." She said is a small voice.

He turned to leave, but her voice stopped him.

"Inuyasha?"

He turned back around, noticing how beautiful she looked.

"Umm…this week has been quite a busy week and well people's emotions and thoughts get a little hay wire when things get exciting and stressful…and well…" she trailed off not wanting to finish but it was the only explanation for what `almost' happened.

"I got you, it was just homecoming that cause all this and it wouldn't have happened normally." He agreed, it made sense, and gave him a reason for his thoughts this week.

"Right homecoming" she said back, twisting her fingers together.

"Homecoming" he stared at the ground.

Silence fell upon them as Inuyasha watched the floor and Kagome looked up at the ceiling.

"Well I better get going, I'll call you tomorrow ok?" he broke the silence a second time that night.

"Ok, goodnight." She smiled at him.

"Night"

He jumped out of her window and head towards his car all the while repeating in his head, `It's only from homecoming. It's only from homecoming.'
