InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Short Bus ❯ Dance! ( Chapter 14 )

“Mom?” Kagome walked into the office.

 

Both her parents were sitting at the computers. Her mother was playing an internet game and her father was playing a game called Gettysburg.

 

“Kagome how was your phone call?” Her mother asked tightly.

 

“Pretty good, only you know how there's that Valentine's dance at Our Lady of Lourdes? And it's tonight.” Kagome had to do this delicately.

 

“Yes. What about it?”

 

“Well I was hoping that you'd take Inuyasha and me to it.” Kagome mentally crossed her fingers.

 

“Miss. Peterson doesn't want you and Inuyasha having contact this weekend. I'm not going to facilitate anything that would go against her wishes.”

 

“But mom, she has no right to do that and he wants to go with me! He finally agrees to go with me and you say no.” Kagome bit her lip and tried her hardest not to yell at her mother.

 

“He's a punk. You are worth so much more than that. I doubt he wants anything more than to sleep with you.”

 

“He likes me! We're friends, and could become more than that if you would just let me!” Kagome raised her voice.

 

“Don't you take that tone of voice with me! Neither your father, nor I will take you with him. Why don't you call Kouga and ask him to go? He seems nice.”

 

Kagome was about to scream obscenities at her mother, but changed her mind and ran back to her room.

 

As soon as she got to her room she closed the door. `So that bitch thinks she can just keep me and Inuyasha apart?' Kagome said to herself. `Fine.' Kagome pulled out a pair of scissors and rolled up her sleeve. Scissors would go deeper than a mere safety pin, and Kagome was pissed. Her old scratches were almost healed; her arm seemed to heal faster every time she scratched.

 

When she was done her arm was almost a solid patch of color. By now her parents knew what she was doing, but did nothing to stop her. Sure they made her go to a psychiatrist every few weeks, but nothing of interest happened there.

 

It was getting close to time to leave. That is if she wanted to go. Kagome sighed. She could go. But what would be the point? Inuyasha wouldn't be there. Kagome liked to dance, she was okay at it. She possessed to knowledge of how to at least sway her hips the right way. Then putting her arms up, and poof, she could look like a competent dancer.

 

Rubbing her eyes, Kagome started putting her dress on. It was her mother's old dress, and was a bit too large in the waist, and a bit too small in the chest. But it was black velvet and looked okay.

 

The dance passed in a blur. Kagome arrived alone and looked around to see if any of her friends from church were there. She saw Eri, but Kagome wasn't that close to her. Still, it was better than hanging out by herself.

 

“Eri!” Kagome called across the dimly lit gymnasium.

 

“Kagome? Hey!” Eri ran over and hugged Kagome. “How are you? I'm glad you could come.”

 

“I'm okay. Same old problems.”

 

Eri knew about Kagome's scratching. But since Kagome knew about Eri's recreational marijuana use, they had a nice agreement of silence.

 

“Well, at least you're here. And I see some one looking at you…”

 

Kagome looked to where Eri was looking and frowned. It was Ryūkotsusei, a tall, rude, plain, almost unattractive looking, and homophobic, computer/ JROTC geek, who had a strange obsession with dragons, maybe stemming from his name.

 

He waltzed over and put an arm around Kagome.

 

“Hey there Kagome.” He leaned closer to her and smiled. “What're you up to?”

 

“Trying to avoid creeps, crap now I have to start over.” Kagome said rudely, frowning more.

 

“Oh come on,” RyÅ«kotsusei said, “You know you want some one to hang with.”

 

“Okay fine,” Kagome said exasperated. She just wanted the stress to stop.

 

She danced with Ryūkotsusei a few times, and then, when they walked around, near the youth group leader, Terri, Ryūkotsusei decided to show off what he had, at least for the night. Making sure Terri was looking at them, Ryūkotsusei leaned in and kissed Kagome swiftly on the lips.

 

Kagome felt so dirty. How was she supposed to be Inuyasha's when she was sitting her taking this shit from some bastard she didn't even like. Kagome pushed Ryūkotsusei away from her and wiped her mouth, trying to get the contaminated feeling from taking over her whole body.

 

“You know what? Screw this.” Kagome walked to the door and out it without looking back. Sure, that meant that she had to sit out in the dark parking lot for almost an hour, before her father came to pick her up. But, as in Kagome's words, `what the hell.'

 

Her father came to pick her up. Nothing bad happened waiting out there alone. And Kagome's night was over.

 

Kagome wasn't looking forward to school. Inuyasha would probably be so pissed at her, for making him change his mind, and then standing him up. It wouldn't matter what Kagome's excuse was. She would be a bitch, a cunt, a stupid wench. E would hate her. At least until she did something to make up for it. But what would the cost be this time?

 

 

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

 

Bunnie: SORRYYYY!

 

Inu: It's been how long?

 

Kagome: A month?

 

Bunnie: I've been busy. I now have to graduate this year instead of next.

 

Inu: No excuse.

 

Don't worry. I'll make it up to you readers, somehow. Kind of like Kagome. ^.^
