Chapter 11: Costume Ball

Kagome and Sango dressed for the costume ball in Kagome's room. Their dresses fell gracefully to their feet as if made for them specifically. They stood looking in Kagome's full- length mirror.

"We look so… so…"

"Beautiful?"

"Yeah? Do you think there are actually people who think we are like this all the time?"

Kagome laughed. "Then they never saw us after a battle with a demon."

Sango smiled in amusement. "No, I don't think they could have. I mean even I was scared of how we looked then."

Suddenly, Keiko knocked on the door. "Girls, it's almost time to go. Oh! You look wonderful!" Keiko walked in and hugged both girls. "You'll knock them dead tonight."

The two teenaged girls giggled happily. "We hope so!"

"Come on, let's go, I want to find out who our secret admirers are!" Kagome began to drag Sango out of the room.

Keiko walked downstairs and before grabbing her keys stopped and grabbed a camera. "I need some pictures of how beautiful you girls look."

Kagome rolled her eyes, but complied readily. Thankfully, she had brought a camera to the past a couple times so Sango knew what to do and wouldn't attack the camera when it went off.

Souta, Shippo, and Grampa added their compliments also and then the girls were ready to go.

When Kagome and Sango got to the school, Yuki, Aryumi, and Eri were standing out front. They all gasped when they saw their friends.

"Oh my god, Kagome, Sango, you guys look great! Where did you get those costumes?" Yuki asked. Yuki had chosen to be a sexy witch. The dress reminded Kagome of the one Yura of the Hair had worn, fish net tights, black below-the-knee high-heeled boots, and a tall witch's hat made the outfit look great.

"Oh, these were one of those gifts from our secret admirers we told you about."

"I can't believe guys could have such style!" Aryumi said. Aryumi had chosen to be a nurse. She found a short white dress, white tights, a pair of white high heels, and a little nurse's hat that had a red cross on it.

Kagome and Sango just smiled at them.

"Really guys, you look wonderful! Hojo and Tsuno will so be regretting that you like someone else." Eri stated. Eri had chosen to be a cat. She had a tight black bodysuit with a long tail that could attach to her wrist by a black fuzzy wristband. She found a pair of black ballet-like slippers and a pair of black cat ears on a headband to complete the outfit.

With that the five girls walked into the costume ball. Music blared and people tried to talk over it. The dance floor was filled with couples and a refreshment table was situated in one corner. Sango stared at everything around her.

"Kagome, I never imagined it would be like this!"

Kagome looked at Sango. "You're gonna be alright right? I know it's really not what you're used to…"

"Kagome it's great! The music and people! It kind of feels like one of the celebrations we would have after we killed a demon."

Kagome's friend's eyes widened at Sango's words but they didn't say anything. The other two girls didn't even realize that they had heard. Kagome and Sango kept a look out for any guys who seemed to be watching them but no one paid them any special attention. Finally deciding that their admirers had bailed, they decided to dance.

Suddenly, two young men stood in front of them. It was Hojo and Tsuno.

"Hey! You girls look great! Although, we knew you would." Kagome and Sango looked at each other. Hojo and Tsuno were their secret admirers?

"Umm… guys sorry but we would rather not be around guys tonight, okay?" They quickly moved away through the crowd all the way up to the stage when the DJ called out over the speakers. Everyone looked up at him expectantly.

"Hey all you girls and boys out there. Having fun tonight?" Everyone shouted yes. "Well I have two guys up here who want to sing something special for some girls they done wronged. Give it up."

The entire room went silent as the music started. Right as the singing started two males walked out from behind the curtains.

Never knew you could make me feel like this,

Like I've never seen the sky before.

Want to vanish inside your kiss.

Everyday I love you more and more.

Listen to my heart can you hear it sings,

Telling me you're the one for me,

Seasons have changed, winter to spring,

I have loved you,

Every step of the way.

Come what may,

Come what may,

I will love you,

Until my dying day.

Kagome and Sango stared up at Inuyasha and Miroku who stared back at them. They had walked up the steps to the stage while the guys were singing this and readily took up their part.

Suddenly, the world seems such a perfect place,

Suddenly, it moves with such a perfect grace.

The guys joined in with them.

Suddenly, my love doesn't seem such a waste.

It all revolves around you.

There's no demon to strong

No danger too great,

Through everything, I'll be there by your side.

Maisma clouds may gather and fights may start

Inuyasha and Miroku looked at Kagome and Sango

.

But I love you,

And the girls answered them.

I love you.

They sang together once again.

Until the end of time,

Come what may,

Come what may,

I will love you,

Until my dying day,

Oh, come what may,

Come what may,

I will love, I will love you

The girls closed their eyes.

Suddenly, the world seems such a perfect place.

The guys sang the ending with them as they walked back behind the curtains.

Come what may,

Come what may,

I will love you,

Until my dying day.

When the song was over cheering was heard from the crowd and the girls opened their eyes with bright blushes. They looked for Inuyasha and Miroku, but the only thing left on the stage besides them were two bunches of flowers. They grabbed them and walked off stage.

Kagome looked at Sango. "Did… did that really just happen?"

"I… I think so. Was that…?"

Kagome shook her head "It couldn't have been. They're still in the past." She looked at Sango. "Right? And besides they would never have done anything like that. Maybe the punch was spiked or something."

Sango looked at her in confusion. "Spiked?"

"It's when someone puts alcohol in the punch without telling anyone or having permission."

"Oh, Kagome your time is weird."

Both girls walked to the door, the evening just didn't seem as fun anymore. They were too confused as to what had happened and they really didn't want to deal with Yuki, Aryumi, or Eri right then, who would want to know who was in the dog costume and monk costume. Kagome pulled out her cell phone and called her mother.

"Yes, Sango, my time is weird." Kagome said to Sango on the car ride home.
