Chapter 2: Graduation Party
~~~Quarter to 6~~~
~~~Girls~~~
A knock came at the door signaling the car had shown up. The girls headed out while Sango locked the door. "I'm so excited. When was the last time we got to dress up like this?" Sango asked.
"Last years company Gala I think." Kikyou said
"It has been a while, hasn't it? I wonder when father is going to hold the Gala this year." Kagome said
The girls rode peacefully to The Peninsula Tokyo, one of the grandest hotels in Japan. (AN it is a real place and I do not own it. Unfortunately, it is really nice.) Little did they know, Toga's party was not just for celebrating the graduation. It was a way for Katsu Higurashi and Toga Tashio to show their retirement by fully signing over their companies to their eldest heir.
~~~Normal POV~~~
~~~Conference Room~~~
The party started off really well Toga and Katsu were sitting at one of the table at the head of the conference room waiting for their heirs to show up so they could fill them in on why they are here.
"Kagome! Kikyou!" Their father called to them as they walked in the door of the conference room. There were many well-dressed people here. For some reason Kagome suddenly got the hint that this wasn't just about graduation but she didn't dwell on the matter. She enjoyed getting out with Kikyou and Sango when they were dressed up.
"Father" Kikyou and Kagome said as he hugged them both.
"Toga this here is Kagome, she majored in business management," Katsu said looking at Kagome. "And this is her twin Kikyou, she majored in fashion design." Looking at Kikyou
"Pleasure to meet you both" Toga said to the girls. "Kikyou you already know my youngest son, I hear. He never said how pretty you were though. And Kagome you must meet my eldest son, you would have a lot in common, he also majored in business."
"I look forward to meeting him, will he be here tonight?" Kagome said nicely even though all she wanted to do was have fun with Kikyou and Sango.
"He will. Now Kagome there we are here for more than a graduation party for you guys." Katsu said before Toga could respond.
"I kind of figured that when I saw so many people in suits." Kagome replied.
"We will explain as soon as Sesshomaru gets here, since it involves him as well." Toga said.
"Well if you do not need me any longer, I am going to find Inuyasha and have him dance with me. Kagome I'll let Sango know where you are so she can find you when you are done." Kikyou said before leaving to the banquet hall where the real party was being held.
"Have fun dear." Katsu told his daughter.
A few moments later maybe around 6:30pm Sesshomaru showed up to meet with his father. He was not too happy about having to be at a party with his annoying half-breed brother.
"Ah, Sesshomaru nice of you to finally join us," Toga said as Sesshomaru walked through the door.
"Hn." Sesshomaru replied.
"Well since you are both here, now we can get on with the party. Kagome, Sesshomaru you are both here because we are signing our companies over to you officially."
"Wow, really father?" Kagome exclaimed a little too excitedly. "I figured we would just sign papers at supper."
"This is a large step in our lives, it's a good reason to celebrate" Toga said. "I've always liked a good party." He added.
"Hn. When this is finished may I go." Sesshomaru asked respectively yet annoyed, he always hated these things.
"Not until you have been introduced at the party in the banquet hall." Toga told Sesshomaru.
"Father you should have told me sooner, I wouldn't have worn something so, so, so short." Kagome wined.
"You look fine dear. Now let's sign these papers and go enjoy our retirement, what do you think, Toga?" Katsu exclaimed.
"Great idea Katsu" Toga grabbed his pen and legal papers.
They signed the papers to the new company owners and proceeded to the banquet hall to announce the guests of honor.
~~~Banquet Hall a little earlier~~~
"Kikyou, wow you look amazing!" Inuyasha complimented as he brought her a drink. "Sango not so bad yourself"
"Thank-you" the girls replied
"Where is Kagome?" inuyasha asked out of curiosity. Normally the girls were inseparable.
"With father" Kikyou replied
~~~Outside of the Banquet Hall~~~
"Now Kagome we will introduce you first and then Sesshomaru you'll be next." Toga said
"Obviously" Sesshomaru replied coldly
Kagome rolled her eyes as their fathers walked through the door to get ready to announce them. 'He's so arrogant' she thought.
~~~Banquet Hall~~~
Toga and Katsu walked onto the small stage at the front of the banquet hall and Toga cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Good evening everyone. I would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate Inuyasha's graduation, but I would also like to celebrate the handing down of companies. Katsu is passing his company onto his daughter Kagome Higurashi, Kagome can you please come up here." Kagome walked onstage and stood next to Katsu, she waved and smiled. "And, I will be passing my company down to my eldest son, Sesshomaru, please come out son. I know he has been waiting a long time for this." Sesshomaru came out and stood next to his father looking regal as ever. After they finished with all of the introductions and announcements, Katsu said, "Lets have some fun, there is music and refreshments are along that wall." Katsu pointed to the far wall.
The night continued with Kagome dancing with Sango, while Kikyou danced with Inuyasha.
"Kagome why don't you go ask Sesshomaru to dance?" Kikyou asked
"Because he's too arrogant for me, I don't want involved." Kagome replied
"Yeah, Kikyou, why would you want her to dance with the cold hearted bastard?" Inuyasha cut in.
"Does anyone want another drink?" Sango asked
"Yeah, can you get Inuyasha and I one?" Kikyou asked
"I'll come help," Kagome said, "Because I'm not sure what I want yet."
"Okay" Sango said
Sango and Kagome walked over to the bar to get the drinks for everyone. They saw Sesshomaru sitting at the end of the bar with his father. They ignored him because they looked to be having an important conversation. If it was business related, they wanted no part in it, tonight was for fun.
Hours passed and the girls were getting pretty drunk, Inuyasha finally stepped in and said that he would escort the ladies home and stay at Kikyou's apartment.
The girls went to retrieve their jackets before they all left with Inuyasha. Kikyou and Sango went to the front door to meet Inuyasha, not realizing that they had lost Kagome along the way.
~~~~Meanwhile with Kagome~~~~
Kagome was walking out of the office she had left her jacket in when she realized she had to pee, so she took an extra turn into the bathroom as Kikyou and Sango went on. Coming out of the bathroom Kagome stumbled along the wall and succeeded in running into the person she was trying to avoid. Sesshomaru.
"Wha tare youdoing out here?" Kagome managed to slur out.
"I could ask you the same I thought you were" Sesshomaru walked up to the drunken Kagome and whispered in her ear "gone"
"why are youso close" Kagome slurred out while taking a step back, succeeding in making her lean her back against the wall.
Sesshomaru smirked making Kagome feel like prey about to be devoured. She took a quick breath in when Sesshomaru got closer and trapped her against the wall with his arms.
"Why, I just wanted to wish you luck on your promotion, being in the big bad business world and all." Sesshomaru said huskily,
"Well, thank you, but I don't think you needed to be this close to say that" Kagome began to sober up.
"Well I'm just warning you as well, you will fail." Sesshomaru said
"Doubt me. Then watch me you arrogant ass. I will be on the top." Kagome said angrily
"Is that an invitation?" Sesshomaru asked
"NO!" Kagome said harshly as she smacked Sesshomaru in the face.
Sesshomaru was shocked to say the least, his beast was drawn to her so without thinking, he grasped her face in his hands and his lips crashed down to hers.
It was Kagome's turn to be shocked she inhaled deeply making him deepen the kiss.
