InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ New Look ❯ Getting Ready ( Chapter 5 )

I'm so unbelievably sorry!!!! I've been caught up with school, which I thought I was doing well in which I was for a while, then I got back a couple of my tests, physics for one I was so sure I was doing well in, I aced all my quizzes then I get this old test back on kinematics, and I got 50% on it, that totally broke my spirits. Then bio I was getting 93% then I dropped down to 89%=_= I'm such a freaking idiot. Anyway, I have some time to kill now so I'll write and I'll try to make it extra long to make up for like 2 weeks of nothingness!!!

 

 

 

~@ LUNCH TABLE~

 

Sango and Kagome made their way over to the lunch line. Today's special: Spaghetti and meat sauce with a side of garlic bread $4.00 add drink for $0.50. (A/N: our caff food really isn't bad at all not to mention cheap!)

 

“Wow Sango, look. Seems like they're stepping up the menu to more edible foods now.” said Kagome.

 

“Mhmm, you're right. I think I'll get the special. What about you Kags?” asked Sango.

 

“Yeah I'll get it too, I'm so hungry right now, and I could care less what I eat.” Kagome's stomach rumbled as she said this. All Sango could do was snicker.

 

After getting their food they saw all the tables were taken up. Since it was a nice day out, both agreed to eat outside instead under the trees. Just as they started eating, Miroku and Inuyasha came up to them.

 

“Mind if we eat with you?” asked Miroku.

 

“If you can keep your cursed hands to yourself, then I'll consider it.” said an irked Sango. Being groped while eating was the last thing she wanted to have happen to her.

 

“My dear Sango, I wouldn't dream of doing that.” Miroku feigned hurt.

 

“Whatever.”

 

They guys took that as their sign to sit down. Inuyasha pulled out a cup of instant ramen and a small thermos filled with hot water. He opened the seasoning packet, dumped it into his noodles then proceeded to pour in the scalding water. He looked so intense mixing the stuff together that Kagome started to laugh.

 

Inuyasha snapped out of his trance and looked at the girl in hysterics.

 

“Geez! What the hell is your problem? You get all giggly and shit all the time, are you sure you aren't on drugs?” said Inuyasha.

 

At this, Kagome stopped laughing and regained her composure. She gave him a stern look and said, “I'm sorry if I'm a happier person now, it's not every day you see someone such as yourself so freakishly absorbed with a two step process of mixing seasoning with your ramen and then adding water.”

 

Inuyasha just sat there and scowled at her. He started asking himself, `Did I really look that interested in my food?' He didn't dawdle on it too long for a loud smack echoed throughout the school grounds. There lay Miroku, once again victim to Sango's powerful hand.

 

“Will you ever learn, you letch?!” yelled an obviously pissed off Sango.

 

Of course, not a word came out of Miroku's mouth since she had, once again, managed to knock him unconscious.

 

They all ate their food in relative silence with the occasional discussion of what to wear to the club. Sango had regretted to inform them earlier that it was a masquerade. She took the time to do so now.

 

“What? A masquerade? Why would a club of all places host one of those?” asked a confused Kagome.

 

“I don't know, but it sounds like fun to me. The flyer said it wasn't anything super formal, but to gain entry, you had to have your mask with you.”

 

“Suddenly, I don't feel like going anymore.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Well too bad, you agreed to go in class. Just inform the letch when he wakes up. I don't feel like doing him the honours seeing as he might just try copping a feel again.” Obviously the effects of that last petting still had a lasting effect on Sango.

 

Just then the bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. The group headed to their classes. They couldn't wait for the day to end.

 

(A/N: sorry gonna skip along here, I don't wanna write about their next classes…partially because I've forgotten XD but yeah, you don't need to hear more of that stuff you want the clubbing to begin yes?)

 

 

By the time Saturday rolled along, everyone was glad they didn't have to get up early for class. They weren't sure they could handle another early morning of droning teachers.

 

Kagome awoke to the sound of her phone ringing, mistaking it for her radio; she mindlessly slapped everything she eventually ended up in successfully knocking everything on her night table onto the floor. She awoke at the crashing sound and whipped her body around so fast; she fell onto the floor joining the nice pile of stuff on the floor.

 

The ringing ceased shortly after her reunion with the floor. Just as she was getting up, her phone began to ring again. This time she picked it up.

 

“HELLO?” she yelled into the receiver.

 

“Whoa, Kags chill it's me Sango. I've been trying to reach you all morning.”

 

“Oh. Hey Sango. Well you succeeded in waking me at this ungodly hour.”

 

“Yo… its 12:00pm, its noon, you know the time normal people have lunch.”

 

“What?” Kagome looked over at her clock; it was indeed 12:00. “Wherever did time go…” groaned Kagome.

 

“I don't know what you're talking about but you wanna go to the mall and find a mask?”

 

“Sure, I'll see you there at say…1:30 k?”

 

“Alright, sounds good. Ciao.” With that, Sango hung up.

 

“Okay…” Kagome said to herself, “Time to get ready and get this show on the road.”

 

An hour later she had eaten and taken a shower. She was now waiting for the bus just outside her house. From there she'd go straight to the mall where she was to meet Sango.

 

“Alright where to first?” inquired Kagome.

 

“Hmm…let see…How about we start over there?” Sango pointed to a shop that seemed to specialize in costumes and accessories.

 

“Looks promising, lets go.”

 

They couldn't believe their eyes; they saw so many masks of different sizes and shapes. The back walls of the store were literally covered from top to bottom in masks, ranging from super cheap to the really extravagant ones with the hefty prices attached to them.

 

“Oooh Sango, take a look at this one!” gushed Kagome.

 

It was needless to say, elegant and gothic at the same time. It was a black mask rimmed with lace and a large lacy bow on the right side. On either side were onyx beads. (A/N: go to this site for the picture of it http : //www .gypsy renaissance. net/ ../ frenchcollection / frenchcollection . html Ignore the price of it as well as the large feathers though.)

 

“It's beautiful Kags…You should get it. Look its only $25.00 too.”

 

“Don't you think it's a bit much though? I mean we're only going out to a club…”

 

“Nonsense,” said Sango, “there's always other occasions to wear it, and the bow is removable so you can dress it up or play it down.”

 

“Hmm… you're right, I'll get it.” said Kagome. “Which one are you going to get?”

 

“Hmm…Oh, this one for sure.” Enthusiasm present in Sango's voice.

 

Her mask was red with gold outlining the eye holes and black lace around the mask. At one end were two ribbons, one red one black looped and left to hang down her shoulder. Bonus! It was on sale too and was only 20$(A/N: the sweetheart mask, but imagine less….ugly XD http :// www. gypsyrenaissance.ne t/../ simple pleasures/ simplepleasures. html )

 

With their masks in their bag, they headed out the door. It was 4:00 already and they needed to eat dinner and prepare.

 

“Hey Sango, wanna come over to my house after dinner? I need help picking out an outfit to go with this mask.” She was still unsure what to wear, especially since this mask was quite something.

 

“Sure, I'll be around at 6:30 or so.” answered Sango.

 

“See ya then!” With that they went their separate ways.

 

~~~6:30~~~

 

The doorbell rang. Kagome rushed to the door and opened it. She had earlier tried to find something suitable to wear, but gave up.

 

“Sango, I'm so glad you're here!”

 

“No problem. You don't mind if I change here do you?” asked Sango, her clothes draped over her arm.

 

“I don't mind; just leave them on my bed.”

 

Going up the stairs they finally arrived to Kagome's room. Sango set out to look in Kagome's closet to find anything Kagome could wear. She was completely hopeless as to putting things together.

 

Right away Sango spotted a tank top that was fitted at the chest and flared out a bit ending a few inches below the waist. It was lined with lace and sequins along the neckline and continuing in the straps. That would match the mask with the lace and sequins, and was casual enough for clubbing.

 

The skirt however was a toughie. At last she found one they had gotten from Esprit that had a raw edge at the hem line, embroidery along the sides with various bleach stains and crystal detailing on the back pockets.

 

“Here, put these on.” said Sango as she shoved Kagome into her bathroom.

 

A few minutes later, Kagome came walking out, a little unsure at first because of the amount of skin that was showing.

 

“Sango, are you sure? I feel like I'm naked.”

 

“Believe me if I wasn't sure, you wouldn't be wearing what you have on now. It's perfect on you, and you'll have all the guys at your feet.” said Sango, admiring her work.

 

“I don't know about guys at my feet, but I do like the outfit…”

 

“Great now lets get started on hair and makeup!”

 

Before Kagome could get a word in, her head was attacked by a curling iron and hair spray. When Sango was finished, Kagome had big loose curls and side swept bangs. She sprayed a little shimmer mist to give it sparkle. Next was makeup. Of course, not a whole lot was needed so a hint of pink lip-gloss, eyeliner and a sweep of mascara and a little blush finished off her look.

 

“There, all finished. I think I really out did myself this time, don't you think?” said Sango admiring her work.

 

“Wow Sango…It's wonderful. What would I do without you?” asked a gracious Kagome.

 

“Ahh, you'd manage.” Kagome smacked her playfully in the arm.

 

“Hey, you better hurry; it's already 7:30.” said Kagome.

 

“No worries, I have all my stuff planned out. We'll be outta here in 15 minutes flat.”

 

True to her word, Sango was out in 15 minutes. She had on a deep red sequined halter with black, low rise, snug fitting cords with crystal detailing on the back pockets. It was simple yet sexy. Sango simply swept her hair up in a high pony tail, leaving the front of her hair a little poofy, kind of like a faux hawk. Makeup wise, she had the same thing as Kagome but a slightly darker shade of lip-gloss.

 

They helped each other put on their masks. Sango lifted up half of Kagome's hair so that the ribbon tying it wouldn't mess up her hair. Kagome just simply took the ribbon and wrapped it around Sango's pony tail and let the ends of the bow she tied hang, giving it a dressier look.

 

Sango wore a pair or 3 inch black, strappy, stilettos and Kagome wore her 3 inch wedges that looked like converses. (A/N: I have a pair and I absolutely love them. My description kinda sucks though XD)

 

After a 10 minute ride in the bus, they arrived at the club. It was full of hustling and bustling people. They were supposed to meet the guys at the bar, but they didn't seem to be there yet. The girls thought that they probably got stuck in traffic. It was after all the grand opening of a new and well known club. In the mean time, they decided to mingle with the crowd and just dance for a while. Little did they know, they were being watched from a table in a dark corner of the room.

 

 

A/N: I'm just gonna leave it at that for now. OoOoOoOo whos this mystery person??? I tried to make it long, but alas, to no avail. Hope you enjoyed it. I actually liked it XD PLZ R/R!!! And once again sorry for the agonizingly long wait.
