at the door

Inu / kag: the rainbow shows a path that leads us into strange worlds

Kag: And you walk hand in hand with me
Because in sunshine and rain build a bridge to you
A colorful play of colors ... just for us ...

The last notes rang out and Miss Diaz couldn't believe it! She had never seen anything like it! How could a 17 year old girl and an 18 year old boy sing so well ??
"That ... that was ..."
"Totally lousy? Stupid? Deafening?"
"Ashley !! Shut your mouth!"
Tse. Ashley didn't have to accept something like that.
"Inuyasha ... Kagome ... that was great! I've never heard anything so beautiful!"
"Thank you very much, Miss Diaz."
"Oh what! I'll post the results tomorrow! You can go!"

"You, Inuyasha?"
"Yes?"
"I have the good feeling!"
"Yes me too."
"Really?"
"Sure, we were great."
Kagome smiled. After they auditioned, Inuyasha felt like a different person. Otherwise he had always spoken in chunks and very shyly. Now, or so Kagome hoped, Inuyasha had found confidence in her, because he was speaking to her much more confidently.Like Sango talking to her.
Inuyasha and Kagome went to a café together, where they each ordered an ice chocolate. They had an hour of free time before dancing again. In the meantime, the two talked about God and the world and how it came about that Kagome switched to this school.
"Hm, you know, actually I liked my old school very much. I had friends, reasonably nice teachers and a regular life. But two years ago my father died in an explosion in the mine. He was dead instantly. I always have tries to be strong, but at some point it didn't work anymore. I just wanted to gain some distance to start again. Then I heard about this school here. That it was in the mountains, away from civilization. And the best was still that you could train here. My father always told me what a beautiful voice I had and that he would like to hear me sing. That's why I decided to register here to get training in singing and dancing. "
She looked up at Inuyasha.
"I'm sorry, Kagome. Really."
"Thanks ... but ... let's not talk about it any more. I just want to forget about it."
"You will definitely make your father proud."
"I hope so, Inuyasha."
He smiled and took her hand.
"We should go. Otherwise we'll be the last again.", He laughed and Kagome laughed too. They left the money on the table and then walked comfortably, hand in hand, towards the gym.
When they arrived there, they found exactly those students who were already there while they were singing. With two exceptions. Sesshomaru and Rin were also there. When the two lovebirds saw them, they smiled at each other and walked up to them.
"Hey you two!"
"Oh, hello! I didn't even know you were here!"
"Well, the world is so small.", Laughed Rin, "Should I show you the cloakroom, Kagome? We always wear the right clothes here for the dance."
"With pleasure!"
Kagome squeezed Inuyasha's hand again until she and Rin headed towards the girls' cabin.
"Well, brother, you seem to like her, our Kagome."
"What?"
Inuyasha had been so absorbed in staring after Kagome that he didn't even notice his brother addressing him.
"Nothing. It was done."
"Ah."
...
"Inuyasha had a small smile on her mouth when he came into the hall with you."
"Really? I'm happy. He's a lot more open to me now. I think he trusts me."
"That's nice. We've been working on him for a long time, but he always remained very closed. Tell me, is there more between you than just friendship?"
"Hm? No, how did you get that? We're just friends?"
Yes, anyone could say that, thought Rin and smiled to himself.
"How you mean."
Rin gave Kagome a black baby-doll dress and said she should just come back into the hall. Meanwhile she went back to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha."Could I speak to you for a moment, Inuyasha?"
"Um, sure."
Rin took her "brother-in-law in Spee" and walked away from Sesshomaru with him.
"Tell me, what do you think about Kagome?"
"What? Um, well, she's nice."
"Nice? I mean ... just nice?"
"Well ... nice ... pretty ... well, she's just very nice. The only one who has ever talked to me, except for you guys."
"Do you like her?"
"Um, yes, already ... why?"
"I'm being very straightforward: are you in love with her, Inuyasha?"
"What? Um ... no, I ..."
"You are in love with her."
"But I…"
"I am ready!"
Inuyasha believed he was going to get really sick. At first he was the sucker of school and was bullied like that stuff. Then Kagome came along and the first thing she did was speak to him, accept him even though he was a hanyou. She sat down next to him, asked him about math, invited him to dinner and sang with him. In the end she wanted to dance with him.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes?"
Oh God! Kagome looked really seductive! The dress didn't even go up to her knees and fell quite loosely. In addition, she was now almost as tall as he was because of the black high heels.
"Are you going to dance with me?"
What had he just thought?
"Sure. You, Kagome?"
"Hm?"
"Um, you, you look good."
"Oh thank you!"
She smiled and went with her dance partner to the middle of the hall, where her teacher was calling her to her.
"We're learning the waltz today. Stand in pairs, please.
Two boys were already approaching Kagome, but she didn't want to dance with anyone. Only with Inuyasha. This one came already shot like a grenade. He quickly took her hand and pulled Kagome towards him. She smiled weakly and pressed her head against his chest.
>> Is there more, Kagome? <<
Rin's words echoed over and over again in Kagome's head ...
Of course there is no more ... we have only known each other for two days, thought Kagome and looked up at Inuyasha. He still had an arm around her and was talking to his half-brother. Kagome's thoughts were disturbed by her dance teacher, Ms. Takagi, when she ordered them to stand opposite their partner.
"Who has never danced the waltz?"
No one spoke up, which Ms. Takagi was very pleased with.
"Nice. It is danced as always. Three-quarter time, turn, step, blah blah blah. You know that. I look at it every time. Start."
Inuyasha took Kagome's hand. She, however, put her free hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. Then they began to dance to the beat. A little unsure at first, they quickly swept through the gym.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! You should practice! Just practice! Don't win a dance competition!" Laughed Ms. Takagi.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and blushed red on command.
Her dance teacher smiled. And not only she was happy that Inuyasha had finally found a "girlfriend". Sesshomaru and Rin were also happy to see their Inuyasha laugh again.Ms. Takagi had now reached Inuyasha and Kagome's. But she didn't have to watch for long and certainly didn't help at all.
"Good you two, will you come to see me?"
When the two of them stood with their teacher, they were completely out of breath.
"You're doing very well! Really! I'm proud of you! You dance as if you've been dancing together all your life. Keep it up, you two!"
With that said goodbye to them and went on to the next couple.
While she was still improving her position with Sesshomaru and Rin, Kagome fell around Inuyasha's neck.
"Inuyasha, do you know what I think?"
"No what?"
"I think we will still be the stars of the school!" She laughed.
"Well, I hope so!"
Inuyasha picked up Kagome and spun her around in the air.
After a few turns they came to a stop and Inuyasha took Kagome in her arms. She was only too happy to return his hug.
"Kagome ..."
"Yes?"
"I…"
"Yes?"
"I i…"
"Will you all come over here, please?"
A moment of shock for the two heroes. They looked at each other, blushed, then walked faster than ever to the rest of the group.
"Well, you all really danced very well. Big compliments, especially to Inuyasha and Kagome. Very nice, you two. I would like to speak to you again right away. The rest of you can go now."
Kagome and Inuyasha stood there until everyone was gone and only then went to their dance teacher.
"You probably know that there is a dance competition here every year, right?"
"Yes." Inuyasha replied.
"No.", Kagome replied and Inuyasha promised to explain everything afterwards.
"What I mean by that is that I have chosen the two of you to represent this boarding school. Only if you want to, of course."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and Inuyasha at Kagome.
"How long do we have to think about this?" Asked Kagome.
"Well, well, I should have a decision by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"We do it!"
"What?"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha in horror. Nice that he thought of her once in a while.
"Really?"
Mrs. Takagi looked pleadingly at Kagome.
"All right. I'm with you."
"I'm so happy! You stay here an hour longer every other day, okay?"
Both nodded and finally made their way into the cabins. Before Inuyasha could disappear into his, Kagome grabbed his suit.
"Tell me why did you suddenly say that we were there! We should have thought about it first."
"I can tell you that. Ashley was just standing in the door and overhearing us."
"Yes and?"
"You have to know, otherwise she will always represent our school. But if she finds out that we are doing this this year, we will wipe her out a lot."
"That's right! Pretty predictable, Inuyasha."
"What not to do."
"Shall we meet again in a moment?"
"Clear."
...
"Hey! Higurashi!"
Kagome turned to the door. And who was there?
"What is it Ashley?"
"What did Kagura want from you?""Is none of your business."
"You tell me right now!"
"Nope."
Kagome packed her things and disappeared from the locker room. She thought Ashley wouldn't follow her, but she was wrong. She had arranged with Inuyasha to meet at the school driveway, so Ashley had enough time to ...
"Ahhh !!!"
Suddenly Kagome was on the floor. The girl was crying in pain and clenched her left
