Introduction

"How sad, he not even here to say the last goodbye," Kagome smiled gently to a young women with a suitcase in her hand.

Holding the door, Kagome smirked, "Your pride must be hurt huh? But then that what the money is for"

The young woman stay silent; her eyes can't not show irritation toward Kagome

"Oh well it not like you're the first. Have a good life" Kagome wave off to the young women who bit her lip bitterly as she left the giant mansion she once live in luxuries.

Kagome close the door as the grin on her lips grew.

"Another one down" she turned to the maid, "put my father on the line," then she, herself settled on the couch and turn on the giant plat screen TV in front of her.

"Mistress," the maid said softly as she handed Kagome the phone.

"Congratulation!" she said in amuse, "you made a new record"

"I suppose she had left," the cold voice replied back

"This one leaves without a word. How much did you give her?" laughing, she added, "When will the next one be coming?" she laughs again.

"My new step-mother"

"Consider your tone young lady," the cold voice ordered.

Kagome shrug, it not like she and her father have the best relationship.

"Whatever I just hope the next one won't be as bitchy or annoying as your previous one" her tone was definitely amused.

"You know not everything has to be about look, I mean you got to go by the number also" Kagome can't help but snicker at that one.

There was a sigh on the other line. It seem like he was quite use to his daughter rude sarcasm.

Kagome ignored her father sigh, "And most importantly, they need to know their place."

"Kagome…" another sigh, "even if I don't get tire off them, you'll drive them out eventually. No one could withstand your sarcasm once it started"

"Ahh... I'm glad to see you understand that quite well," she laughs again and hung up.

She smirked knowing right now her father would be furious, the thought amuse her more.

Flipping through the channel she found nothing interesting. Just when she decided to gave up something caught her eye.

"Top ten most wanted Bachelors?" Kagome's eyes follow the words on the TV until one that got her laughing.

"The number one most wanted Bachelor is Sesshomaru Tanaka? You got to be kidding me. Just last week he was on the front page for most scandalous." Kagome scoffed.

"Stupid girls these days got no life so they went and voted for a silver hair freak that changes girlfriends every month." Remembering what she read on the paper last week, her disgust for the unknown bachelor grew more.

"He had the most extreme scandals ever. How did he always manage to jump to the top?"

"Now a day money and power is everything," she sighed but then chuckled slightly to herself.

"Well doesn't that sound awfully familiar," she hop off the couch, grabbed her cell and sweater and fled out the door.

"How sad I take after his last name."

________________________________________________________________________

A loud laugh was heard throughout the room and spread through the hall as the door open and a young women step in.

"How rare," she smile, eyes narrow at the young man with black hair sitting not too far away.

"What it is so amusing that you got "icicle" here laughing, Miroku."

"Sango, what a pleasant surprise," Miroku stand up to greet her.

The young man who sat next to Miroku just tilted his head slightly, his way of greeting. He didn't smile, his eyes clearly show that he did not like the word he just been address as.

"Watch your word Sango," the corner of his lips curled, "Or should I say soon to be Mrs. Watanabe?"

Sango glare at Miroku who shrugged, smiling, delighted by the name.

"I see this is what you're laughing about. I find it ridiculous, a lawyer such as myself are being force into arrange marriage. How utter absurd."

Miroku winced at the word, "Aren't you being too harsh my dear?" He smiled.

"I dare you to call me that again" Sango harden her tone.

Miroku shot his hand up as if to surrender; before he could speak he was cut off.

"Lover quarrel, how nice but my office isn't such a place," the young man with the silver hair spoke up. His voice made the air aerie, dangerous and cold.

"You know your sarcasm remind me of someone, you two should meet. Certainly it'll be interesting," she fished out her cell, smiling as she saw the name on the screen.

"Speaking of the devil," she turned to meet his blank face, "What do you said? She's a full package." Sango laughed, only to know the meaning behind her words.

"Hello?" she said to the phone.

"I'm bore, let meet," Kagome make it quick and short.

"Thank but no thank," short and cold, as it always is, replied beside her.

"Sure I'm free right now," Sango lifted her hand to check her watch, "Where do you want to meet?"

"The usual," How cheap can she be on word? Sango thought.

"Okay, I'll see you later" after hanging up, she turned and shrugged at her boss. "Oh well, It's your loss. And I got to go."

"How can you just come and leave like that." Miroku hurtful voice spoke up; apparently Sango couldn't careless and dash out the door.

"A prosecutor and a lawyer, you two couldn't suit each other more perfectly," his laugh is also toneless.

Miroku smug, "It about time you find yourself a woman..." he laughed knowing his friend dislike women more than anything, but yet always accompany by them. Annoying creature, it's what he called them.

"And when haven't I?" He chuckled slightly.

"Ah.. Yes" Miroku sigh, "poor Minako, pitiful Yurika, lovely Mika ...shall I continues?" Miroku smirk.

"Are you envious?" His friend laughed and Miroku smirk dissolved from his face at once.

"And why not? How splendid would it be if my handsome face can be on teen cover magazine instead of being next to criminals." He threw his friend a magazine close by.

"How nice must it be to be the most wanted bachelor, the rating haven't change in 3 weeks."

"So it seem."

_______________________________________________________________________

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a shadow seated in the empty chair beside him, mindful not he continue to drink.

"Fancy seeing you here," the stranger greeted him, "aren't you popular now a day" he called for a shot and the bartender complied with a bow.

Sesshomaru slowly finish his shot, "And so I cannot be here?" He replied without facing the club's young owner and called for another shot.

Kouga swing his chair around and lean his back against the bar with one of his elbow for support and the other holding the drink.

"We're old college; you needn't to speak so formal. Where's that lecher, Miroku?"

Sesshomaru laugh amusingly, "Did you not read the news? He getting marry, to Sango none the least"

Kouga eyebrow raise, "You mean Sango Ito? Our Tae Kwon Do girl?"

Sesshomaru smirked, taking a sip while Kouga broke out in laughter.

"Though it hard to believe he agree to tie his hand with marriage. Did he not say to live his life with all the beauties of the world" Kouga can't help but laugh again.

"He may not like the idea of arrange marriage but Sango is his first love" Sesshomaru reply. His tone never less, stays the same.

"I see you had your hair up today" Kouga said, flipping his own pony tail. "My style just keep rising eh?"

Sesshomaru stay silent, who doesn't know the little master of the most popular club, is known for his style. Though, it is not the reason why Sesshomaru chose to have his hair in a pony tail.

"You're still a man of a few words aren't you" Kouga laughed, "it about time you lose that title of yours."

Sesshomaru called for another shot as he noticed Kouga glass place on the bar next to him. Something or more accurately, someone has caught his eye, because he is no longer seated next to Sesshomaru but out in the dance floor.

Sesshomaru spun his chair around for the first time in two hour he arrived. He scans his eyes around the crowed dance floor and wonder why he come. He doesn't like this kind of atmosphere; the light and music are such bothersome to his ears and eyes. Taking in another sip he found his answer.

"Right. The drinks."

Slightly tilt his head toward the bar tender he ask, "Who is that girl your young master dancing with?" Or at least he was trying to...dance with her. But rather quite forcefully.

The bartender knew right away who Sesshomaru was talking about. "She is young master ex-girlfriend. He doted on her very differently from others" the young guy answer.

Sesshomaru slowly found himself interested, "Oh? Is that so?"

Sesshomaru had got along well with Kouga, who only know to spend his father money, is because they have the same view on women. So who would this girl be that had Kouga look at her differently? Surely it's a bit amusing.

"Yes. She also last the longest. Actually, she herself declares the break up," the young worker seems to know a lot. Or maybe it's just Kouga carefree scandalous life.

"And her name is?" Sesshomaru said shortly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Tanaka, but young master forbid us to speak of her name." He replied softly.

"I see." Sesshomaru chuckle, "You may get back to work."

The bartender bow as he moves off to collect other glasses. Sesshomaru toy with his glass, allowing his eyes to drift to Kouga so called ex.

"She not a bad dancer, more than that everything else is just average" he said boringly.

"Low cut jean and bit too short for a tank top" Sesshomaru said after a minute of good look at her. "Just another wench," he smiled amusingly to himself.

Maybe to others eyes, everything else won't be just average, but to Sesshomaru everything that passes his eye will be just average.

"Hmm.. Have I seen her somewhere?" He questioned himself.

Sesshomaru is not a man of forgetful; surely if she looks familiar he must have seen her before. Maybe the drink is clogging his mind. Suddenly he tilt his head slightly, raises his glass and smiled.

Out on the dance floor Kagome can't help but scowl, how could she forget this club own by her annoying, jerk of a boyfriend. Well...ex boyfriend. Who had claimed that he love her, as if she believe that which she doesn't, and was found in bed the next morning with another girl. So much for love...well love never last anyway. So that sayonara to Kouga.

Somehow Kouga scandalous lives remind her of that bachelor she doesn't like even though she never met him. If not counting seeing his face continuously on the front page newspaper or latest magazine.

Yea …he and Kouga, they're the same.

Though, Kagome have to admit that he was good looking, very good looking. How she love to run her finger through those silver long hair. They just look so soft and silky. Either that's why he keeps appearing in her mind or she was just jealous of his hair. She had never seen anyone with such beautiful hair, so beautiful she convinced herself that it can't be real. But that still doesn't change the fact that she dislikes him.

"What do you want?" Kagome asked annoyingly, without bother to face Kouga.

"Come on Kagome, how can you just left like that without a word." Kouga grabbed her by the waist and... well tried to dance along.

"I think you pretty much know why yourself." Kagome pushed his hand away. "Don't tell me that night was dreadful because I'm not there, because you looked pretty happy to me. I almost choke on my breakfast having to see such erotic first thing in the morning" Kagome laughed and be sure to include a lot of sarcasm.

She swayed to the music making it obvious that Kouga wasn't even there.

"Tell me what you want and I'll get it. As long as you're not mad at me," he spinned her around and they dance together. From other point of view, you probably can't tell that they are arguing.

Kagome laughed loudly as she moved her hip against his.

"What make you think I can't afford my need?" She could tell that Kouga was getting annoyed by her sarcasm. But still, he held it in.

How stupid and pointless. Just get lost. Kagome thought.

But Kouga wasn't the only things that bother her. Somehow she feel that she was being watch, it was rather an annoying feeling.

By this time Kouga voice has fallen out due to the music, or she just simply shove them out. But he still won't let go of her, so she have no choice but to continue dancing. Of course she could always beat him up, but beating up the young master of the club she in right now doesn't seem like much of a good idea to her.

And that gaze on her back is not so very comfortable.

Kagome didn't want to make it obvious so she wraps her arms around Kouga neck, rest her chin on his shoulder as they sway to the music. But her eyes never stop looking around. It didn't take much to find where that uncomfortable gaze come from. The culprit was looking straight at her, he seem pretty comfortable and bemuse. He was staring right at her and still staring even though he knew he been caught.

He raise his glass at her and smile, the way he did it annoy her. Just slightly tilt his head and raise his glass with a half smile, to Kagome was consider rude. It didn't help since she was already annoyed by Kouga. And so she sends him a deadly glare.

But to her surprise he keeps on staring, slowly taking a sip every 5 minutes. His smile seem bemuse, but at what? Her? The thought of that annoy her more. Who does he think he is?

Under the many colorful lights that constantly moves everywhere; it's hard to see his appearance clearly. He's very lucky that Kouga was here. She knows Kouga temper well, not wanting to make a scene, but that doesn't mean she'll let it go.

If not for Kouga she would march right over and give him a nice speech. What kind of guy stared boldly at girl he had never met, not to mention that irritating smile….but very seducing at the same time. Surely, it irritating.

She let go of Kouga after her "mission accomplish" right away, making Kouga a little surprise and confuse. Suddenly just wraps herself against him, he thought he had accomplish in persuading her. Kouga was happy and full with pride and then Kagome let go of him like she just touch fire. Kagome let out a hearty laugh. Kouga's face was dumb found.

Not too far away, Sesshomaru's grin grew wider. Amuse at Kagome action and Kouga face. "How childish."

He turned around and called for another shot; continued looking like he was 2 hours ago. But the way Kagome dance keep appearing in his mind. To dance like that, what man could keep his composer straight? The ironic thing about that is, she got a face of an angel.

And to think that he let these thoughts get into his mind like this, the drink must really get to him. Sesshomaru decide to stop and leave before anything more unreasonable thought appear in his mind again.

On the other hand.

"For the last time, Kouga" Kagome gritted her teeth, "let go!"

"Come on, Kagome, let be reasonable." Kouga's stubborn.

For the love of god! Kagome yanked her arm out of Kouga grasped, " Reasonable? Me?" She laughed, "I didn't even know you knew of the word. Stop being an ass and leave me alone."

As if he would, so as soon as she finished talking, she ran for it.

It wasn't fun cutting through couples and pushing through people, who are like wild animals. This is why you don't drink and dance, you'll look like pigs shaking their butt. Well …to Kagome at the least.

Due to pushing and …pushing through wild 'pigs' Kagome had lost her sense of direction and went right straight into Sesshomaru, who was on his phone and about 5 step near the exist. They both went down as his cell phone went flying up and into the dance floor, where it been destroyed by a nice pair of heel.

Sesshomaru scowled and Kagome's jaw dropped as both their eyes landed on the cell phone. Well... what was left of it.

"I'm so sorry, here my card, I'll buy you a new one." Kagome said quickly, dare not to look at the man she had tackled.

Sesshomaru mind not the cell but of the position they're in, he had not the time to speak when a woman voice quickly apologizes. He took a good look at her and smiled.

Amusingly, he spoke "Oh what a pleasure, it's Kouga's wench." His tone is full of bemusement.

"I'm sorr- What? Wench?" Kagome could not believe her ears. "Excuse me?" she looked at him for the first time. What kind of idiot wore shade at a night club?

"Do you know who you're speaking to? I dare you to say that again." He is so asking for it.

"Wench," he smiled, "get off of me." Without another word, Sesshomaru push Kagome off.

Kagome was bewildered. She had it. He must really want it now… and she is so not holding back.

"Sir, you have such a handsome face" Kagome smile sweetly as Sesshomaru's brows went up. Before he even knows it, his "handsome" face took in a full blow from Kagome's fist.

Sesshomaru didn't fall; only manages to stagger back a little. He raised his hand to wipes the blood from his lips. Damn the wench can punch.

Kagome smirked at him, "Next time think before you speak."

As she turned to leave, she was grabbed back, forcefully, from the waist by Sesshomaru. He dragged her to a rather, dark and unnoticeable, corner.

"Don't just hit and run," he said in a voice full of tease. "Won't you like a taste of what you did?" Before Kagome could have any reaction, she was pulled into a harsh and forceful kiss. Does he not know how to kiss? All she can seem to taste is the saltiness of the blood. And his kiss is not at all gentle.

Kagome tried to squirm out from his hands but he was too strong for her, she give up as he finally pulled away. It was too dark to see anything but he know that she did not enjoy that kiss at all. Of course not, after all, he never intended for it to be enjoyable.

"You ass!" Kagome raise her hand again but this time Sesshomaru caught it.

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to let you punch me the second time?" He twisted her arm around and push her face against the wall. "If you think I don't hit girl then you are mistakenly wrong. Wench." He breathes into her ear.

"You-" Kagome gasped as she feels his hand on her bottom. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

This got to be the most frustrated day of her life. Why in hell did she have to bump into this jackass? First it was Kouga, the weirdo who stared, and now, HIM.

To Kagome surprise, Sesshomaru was only to pull out the cell phone she kept in her back pocket. He let go off her harshly, Kagome winces in pain. Holding her wrist she looked at him angrily. Shit! I think broke my wrist.

"If you want your phone back, there will be a condition," in the dark she heard him chuckled, tonelessly. "Of course it'll be your choice to want it back or not. But I'm sure it's a lot of fun to play with."

Kagome looked at Sesshomaru's back angrily as he waves goodbye to her with her phone in his hand.

"Arrogant jerk, just you wait. I'll show you not to mess with Kagome Higurashi"

"Ah shit! He did break my wrist!"
