Chapter 1: The Dinner Party
"Another long uneventful summer and I'm stuck going to another one of mom's business dinner parties at this fancy hotel," Kagome lounged across her bed bored as can be. All her friends either had summer jobs or were on vacation with their family. This year her mother was working on getting a promotion so she didn't have time for vacation. With everyone so busy, Kagome helped grandpa with tours around the shrine and keeping the house clean. One thing she did love about going the dinner party was shopping for a new dress and getting all dresses up other than that it was a boring place to be.
"Kagome!"
"Yes mom! I'm coming!" Kagome ran downstairs.
"Time to go pickout or dresses. The dinner party is tomorrow," Ms.Higurashi grabbed her keys off the table and called Souta who was playing videogames in the livingroom,"Souta! Tell grandpa where Kagome and myself are going when he returns."
"Sure mom."
"Well let's be on our way."
Kagome followed her mother out to the car and in no time they were at the mall. When they arrived at the appropriate store her mother was greeted by and old friend who handed her two hangers.
"You remember my daughter Kagome, don't you?" Ms. Higurashi smiled placing a hand on Kagome's shoulder.
"Of course I do, being the one who use to watch her for you as a child. She has grown into a beautiful young lady," the woman smiled over at Kagome.
"Kagome this is Ms.Taryn. You probably don't remember her you were so young. She help me get your dress for tomorrows event. You know, the one you told me you liked on the internet awhile back."
"You were able to get that dress? Thank you so much," Kagome grabbed Taryn's hand and started shaking it excitedly. It was a black satin gown embroidered with jewels on a netted torso and criss cross strings loosely laced up a deep v-shaped center cut stopping below the cleavage. Now all she needed was a pair of nice pumps.
"You're a size 2 right?" Taryn asked.
"Yes."
"Okay they, no need to waste time trying it on. You and your mother need to pick out your shoes and get your nails done. You two will be the most beautiful mother and daughter there!"
Kagome walked next to her mother with a big grin on her face.
"Kagome, that dress cost $400 dollars, so in payment, try to have fun. I don't want you sitting around looking tired. I want to see you at your best."
"I can agree to that."
After they both pick out a pair of pumps; Kagome's were peep-toes studded with jewels to match her dress and her mothers regular blue pumps to match her satin blue gown that came slightly off the shoulders, they both had there nails done then headed home for a good night sleep.

The day went by fast and now the sun was near retirement for the day. The event started in two hours at 7 and Kagome and her mother just got finished getting there hair done in an elegant up do. There was always a dance for the teens at the party. Kagome was hoping this year there would be some boys there who weren't ignorant and only wanted to see how many girls they could dance with and fondle. Kagome wasn't the only one concerned about tonights entertainment.

Review review review!!!
The CEO of the Taishou Law Firm was getting prepared with his family for the arrangements at the hotel for the evenings events. He had to have a little talk with his sons to put them in line so they wouldn't pull something similar to last to time. They convinced the bar tender to let them have some liqueur to put in the punch bowl and had everyone's child torn up.
"Sesshomaru! Inuyasha! The limo is here!" two silver aired boys came marching downstairs dressed in tuxedos,"Where's your mother? She still didn't come out, did she?"
"She's starring at herself in the mirror," Inuyasha the younger of the two boys answered.
"Errr that woman. She's such a perfectionist. Izayoi! My patience is waning! Get down here or you'll get left!"
"Patience is a virtue Inutaishou! I'll be down in a minute!" Izayoi wore an elegant creamy colored strapless gown with the back out and her hair pinned up with loose curls. She gave herself one last look over and left the room.
"Now ...neither one of you better think about pulling anything like last time or you'll suffer the most austere of punishments,"Inutaishou spoke firmly taking his wife's arm as she came downstairs.
"You here that Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha instigated.
"Inuyasha! I don't need you to reinforce what I just said. Do it again and I'll knock your head off boy. Let's go."
Sesshomaru smirked at Inuyasha as he followed behind his parents,"You heard that Inuyasha?"
"Wha...dad did you hear him?" Inuyasha stopped with his mouth slightly open with his hands out.
"Inuyasha! Hurry up and get in this limo! If we're late I'll break your neck!" Inutaishou and the others looked at Inuyasha from the limo. Inuyasha folded his arms and got in the limo. He rested his elbow on the side of the door and loooked out the window all wrinkled up. He turn his eye to look at Sesshomaru who was sill grinning.
"Inuyasha! Wipe that frown off your face before it gets stuck like that. What is your problem?" Inutaishou scolded him yet again.
"Why do I always get in trouble when Sesshomaru is sitting there with a stupid grin on his face," everyone turned to face Sesshomaru who now wore a face void of emotion.
"Maybe it's because he knows how to keep his mouth shut."
"Bu...," Inuyasha was cut off by his mother.
"Inuyasha, do your mother a favor and be quiet."
Shortly they pulled into a jam of cars with passengers waiting to be let out in front of the hotel. Sesshomaru was thinking about how he was going to make this years dinner party interesting with liqueur no longer an option. It was quite amusing watching everyones reaction. They were too torn up to realize the cause and kept drinking.
'Maybe this time there will be a girl there that wants something besides being groped and sneaking off to a room. And all the adults do is brag about how smart and obedient their uppity children are when there off displaying the exact opposite of that.'
"Look there's Ms. Higurashi and her daughter. She will be getting that promotion I've been contemplating on giving her forever," both Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's eye enlarged as they stared at the young lady accompanying Ms.Higurashi.
"Father, who's that...," Sesshomaru started.
"She wasn't here last year," Inuyasha spoke with his eyes never leaving the girl until she entered the building.
"That young lady is Kagome. She was here last year. Come, time to get out," Inutaishou helped his wife out of the car and the boys followed.
"Hey I saw her first," Inuyasha elbowed Sesshomaru.
"That doesn't matter."'Maybe this will be interesting. Just from that one glance I can tell she's not like other girls.
Once inside the foyer of the fancy hotel, they headed down a hallway into the dining area with many tables covered with ivory cloths. They were situated next to Ms.Higurashi and her daughter on the left side of the stage in the front. Inutaishou stood and walked on the stage for the opening speech. There was a couple of minutes before it actually started but it looked crowded enough.
"Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention. I'm pleased to welcome you all to the annual summer dinner party. Tonight we will be honoring fifteen years of success and the promotion of one of our hardest workers, Ms.Higurashi to our left." Ms.Higurashi stood and bow with applause,"What else is there to say except for I'm happy to be here with my lovely wife, Izayoi and I'm happy you could all make it with your families, so let the party begin." There was another round of applause and dinner was served.
At their table the adults exchanged little talk and everyone else just stared back and forth.
'Why do they keep staring at me? It's getting rather annoying.'"Is it something you want to tell me since you find it so interesting to stare," Kagome directed the question at Inuyasha since he had been the one eyeing her the most.
"Oh um," he cleared his throat,"You just remind me of somebody."
"Oh really?"
"You all must be bored. It's late enough. Inutasihou why don't you open the ballroom," Izayoi suggested.
"Of course," he went on stage," The ballroom is open to all you young people who feel like dancing. I suggest you all go and meet new people while we adults talk and enjoy ourselves." Just about all the teens stood and left the room.
