InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha and Kagome's Modern Adventure ❯ Will You Go To The Dance With Me? ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter Ten: Will You Go To The Dance With Me?

 

`I can't believe that inconsiderate, ungrateful hanyou! Who does he think he is, treating me like that?' Kagome fumed.

 

It had been a couple of weeks since the incident, but it was still fresh in Kagome's, and Inuyasha's, mind. Inuyasha stopped talking to Kagome, as did Kagome to him. To each of them, the other didn't exist. Any acknowledgement they made to each other was nothing but cold and unattached. A slight nod of the head would pass between them.

 

To make things worse, the first dance of the school year was coming upon them quickly. It was already known that Inuyasha, the popular boy, would be going to the dance with Mana, the popular girl. Did it faze Kagome? Not at all. She had her own plan for the dance. Hojo.

 

 

“As you all know, the fall dance is coming soon. That means it's time to vote for your Fall King and Queen,” a girl announced over the intercom. “Ballots will be passed around at lunch. All you have to do is write down the name of the girl and boy you would most like to nominate for King and Queen. Happy voting!”

 

Without having to count, or cast, the votes, everyone knew that Mana would be crowned Queen. The title for King was not as clearly drawn out. Either Inuyasha or Hojo could be crowned King.

 

“Wouldn't it be great if Hojo got crowned King?” Yuka asked. “Just think of it, Kagome! You're planning on going to the dance with Hojo, right?”

 

“It's not official though,” Kagome pointed out.

 

“Yeah, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind going with you at all,” Eri chimed.

 

“But if he's crowned King, you would be considered a semi-Queen,” Yuka continued.

 

“That would be nice, but again, it's not official.”

 

“Pshah, official or not, there's still a good chance,” Ayumi comforted.

 

Kagome sighed. It was a nice thought, but that was just it, a thought. Carrying out her plan was easier said than done.

 

At that moment, Mana collided with them.

 

“Oh, hey there, um…”

 

“Kagome,” Kagome helped her.

 

“Whatever. So I'm sure you've heard that I'm going to the dance with Inuyasha. I hope you don't mind.”

 

“Ha, why would I mind? I don't want anything to do with jerks,” Kagome spat.

 

“Heh. I heard that you want to go with Hojo, like that will ever happen.”

 

“How do you know?!” Eri shot.

 

“Um…I'm the most popular girl in school. I know everything,” Mana shot back.

 

“Just wait and see, Mana! Kagome is going to go to the dance with Hojo and she'll be the talk of the school.”

 

“Whatever. Good luck, um…”

 

“Kagome!”

 

“Whatever.”

 

With that, Mana and her group walked away.

 

“Don't listen to her, Kagome. She doesn't know anything,” Eri comforted.

 

“She does have a point though. I don't really have a shot with Hojo,” Kagome sighed.

 

“Don't say that! He likes you. Remember all those presents he gave you last year?” Ayumi pointed out.

 

“Heh, yeah.” Boy, that brought back a lot of memories. “But that was because I was `sick' a lot.”

 

“But still! It counts that he remembered you and tried to help.”

 

“Yeah, I guess so.”

 

`I just want all this be over,' Kagome thought to herself. She wouldn't let anyone else know it, but she missed Inuyasha. They hadn't talked in weeks. They were acting like children who had gotten their toys taken away from them. `Oh, Inuyasha.'

 

 

“Kagome!”

 

Kagome started and turned around. To her surprise, Inuyasha was running towards her.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

When he reached her, all he could do was stare at her. How could he ask her this?

 

“Um…I wanted to ask you something.”

 

“What is it now, Inuyasha?” All the memories of the last time they spoke popped into her head. She wasn't ready to be friendly with him just yet.

 

“I was wondering, what do people where to this…dance?”

 

Kagome's eyes widened. `That's right. Inuyasha has no idea what's going on.'

 

“Why don't you ask your precious Mana.” Kagome turned around and started walking away, but Inuyasha reached out and grabbed her arm.

 

“I'm sorry about everything, Kagome, but I just really want to do something that I want to do for once .”

 

“And hurt my feelings in the process?”

 

Inuyasha's tongue failed him. He released his grip. She turned around and walked off. He messed up things big time.

 

As he watched her walk away, Mana came up from behind him.

 

“Hey there, sweetie,” she greeted with a coy smile on her face. “Are you still fretting over that girl?”

 

“No.”

 

“She's not worth it. I, on the other hand, am worth it.”

 

“Sure, whatever.”

 

“Anyways, me, Toshiko, Aiko, Ken, Raiden are going out to the mall this weekend to find some outfits for the dance. I was wondering if you were going to come along with?”

 

“Yeah.” A burden was suddenly lifted of his shoulder. He wouldn't have to worry about figuring out what to wear on his own. He could just watch what the other guys will buy.

 

 

“How dare he come up to me and mention that dance to me like nothing has happened!”

 

In her rage, she didn't notice that she was about to run into someone until it was too late. Kagome ran into this person and dropped all her books on the floor.

 

“Oh, I'm so sorry,” Kagome apologized, not looking up at the person she ran into. “I was just thinking about…”

 

“It's okay, Kagome.”

 

She stopped. She recognized that voice. She lifted her head and stared at a tall, brown-haired boy with hazel eyes. It was Hojo!

 

“Oh, I'm so sorry, Hojo.”

 

“It's okay, Kagome. Don't worry about it. Actually, I'm glad that you ran into me.”

 

“Oh…really?” Kagome asked nervously.

 

“I wanted to ask you something.”

 

“What is it, Hojo?”

 

“Well, if you don't already have plans, I'd like to take you to the dance.”

 

Kagome gasped. `That plan was easier than I thought!'

 

“Um….sure. I'd love to go to the dance with you.”

 

“Great! I'll bring a first-aid kit just in case.”

 

“Heh,” Kagome laughed, embarrassed that he still thought of her as a sickling.

 

 

“Oh my, Kagome! We just heard the good news,” Ayumi chimed as Kagome sat herself down at the table.

 

“Heh, good news travels fast around here.”

 

“What did we tell you?” Yuka pointed out.

 

“You had nothing to worry about. Oh, Kagome! I'm so jealous,” Eri sighed.

 

“Congratulations, Kagome.”

 

The group turned around in their seats. Mana stood before them.

 

“Thanks, Mana,” Kagome responded coolly.

 

“I guess this means you can stop messing around with Inuyasha.”

 

“Like I told you before, I don't care about Inuyasha anymore.” Kagome's heart stopped. Didn't care about him anymore? What a lie!

 

“Good, stay away from him then.” With that, Mana left to join her friends.

 

Eri stuck her tongue out at Mana's back. “What a spoiled brat!”

 

“You said it,” Ayumi and Yuka agreed.

 

“I…don't care?”

 

“Kagome? Are you okay?”

 

Before they could get a response, Kagome ran out of the lunchroom.

 

 

She didn't stop running until she reached her locker. Her back hit against it and she slide down to the ground.

 

“How could I say that?”

 

“So what are ya'll doing at our table?” Kagome asked again.

 

“Excuse me, but I didn't see your name on it,” the girl called Mana pointed out.

 

“But ya'll know that we eat here every day. Why would ya'll suddenly decide to eat here?”

 

“We like the view,” a boy cut in.

 

The table was located at the side of the cafeteria with the window. A beautiful lawn with tall trees and blooming plants could be seen out of it. It was the ideal table to sit at.

 

“So where do you expect us to sit, Inuyasha?”

 

“Over with the other dorks,” another boy told her with a snicker.

 

The whole table laughed at his comment.

 

“I didn't ask you; I asked Inuyasha.” Kagome was trying her best to control her temper, but it was hard not to “sit” Inuyasha right then and there.

 

“Um…does it really matter, Kagome?”

 

Kagome looked at Inuyasha with disappointment. How could he treat her like this, after all they had been through? She couldn't understand it. Her worst fears were confirmed at that moment. He had found his way to the dark side. Kagome expected him to do this, but still, she hoped that he would have ignored all these people and paid attention to her, only her.

 

Inuyasha lowered his head in defeat. He knew exactly what was happening. A gap was being formed between him and Kagome, and it was his fault. He should've done as he had originally planned, stay by Kagome's side. But no! He had to go off with these others; he had to feel like he had some power in the school.

 

Tears formed in Kagome's eyes. She turned on her heels and ran as quickly as she could out of the lunchroom.

 

“Oh yeah, that's why,” she realized.

 

It wasn't just the whole table thing that upset her; it was all the hiding behind her back and not telling her about his friends. Sure she doesn't like those people, and she would've told him so, but he's a grown boy. She'd let him decide for himself what he wanted to do. Why didn't he trust her?

 

Kagome stood up. She didn't hate Inuyasha; she just wanted to teach him a lesson. There was no way she could hate him so much that she would never have anything to do with him ever again. He just needs to understand that he can't treat her like that. She trusted him, even if he didn't trust her. She trusted that he would come to his senses. She just had to give him a little time, and a little pay back.

 

 

EEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I love pay back. I've given some pay back in my day; lots of fun and I don't take any of it back. ^^ I'm such a terrible person, but not really. I'm giving ya'll another update, so I can't be that bad. I'm starting to really get into this story. Like I said, no worries about what's going to happen. Everything will work out perfectly in the end; you just have to wait and see. Thanks for all the reviews, guys. I appreciate them, really and truly!
