Chapter FourPreparations

Fumiko was bouncing off the walls in excitement screaming "My party is today and Hotaru will be singing there" repeatedly it was grinding on Kouga's last nerve. He did not even know who this group was or even heard them sing. He was not one for the music of this era, well that is not totally true he just had no time for it. His daughter however was a different story all together.

What surprised Kouga most of all was the RSVP he received from Sesshomaru, he thought for sure that the stoic youkai lord would decline. He had to send an invitation to all the lords and ladies of the region as a formality but he did not expect him to except. Now it looks like all 4 lords will be present at the party, he hoped that they could keep the peace at least until the ningen group left.

Kouga was outside right now in his vast back yard, he did not expect the party list to be so full 'thank kami that I have a huge yard' he thought chuckling dryly to himself. He has been at it all morning, assigning were to place the portaparties ß(sp?) he had arranged for 2 of them to be sent and wanted to make sure they were placed a good smelling distance away from the party itself. He hired party planners to set up the chairs and the stage for the D.J and the Group to perform on. There were multiple tables with large tents over it to shield the food and eating areas. He stood back and watched as the planners ran around like chickens with their heads cut off with all the last minute preparations for the party.

He could not believe how fast the months flew by, and now soon the guests will be arriving

Inuyasha was no better off then Kouga when it came to an excited teen. He and his mate had to bring her to the mall a WHOLE month prior to the party because she 'just had to have the perfect outfit to meet Hotaru' he did not understand it! His mate told him that the group was quiet famous and the lead singer was nominated for awards, 'baka awards, who cares if she is 'the world's sexiest eligible Bachelorette, or that she was voted number one new singer of the year.' he thought with a shake of his head. He could remember the day the winner were chosen for the baka awards, his home was like a made house.

Inuyasha, his mate and his daughter were all sitting in the family room of the home he purchased when he and his mate first mated. The T.V was stationed on the MTV Music Awards, thanks to the whining and big doe eyed begging of his daughter. When the nomination came up for the group Hotaru he had been in the kitchen to get himself a drink when he heard the happy cheering of his daughter.

"YES! YES! YES! They WON! WOO HOO!" she screamed jumping up and down on the family room floor as her mother smiled and laughed at her.

"What is this all about Kimiko?" ask an irritated Inuyasha while walking back into the family room. When he looked at the TV they had already changed to a new category.

"Hotaru WON! They won it! I knew they would, they are so awesome! She is so awesome!" she said with a happy smile while clapping her hands enthusiastically. "OH I have to call Fumiko and find out if she seen it or not!" she said before she bounced out of the room to the phone then retreated to her bedroom.

He could not believe all the fuss she had made over that, and now that she will see her and possibly meet her in person she is even more so out of it.

"I just cant wait until it is over" Inuyasha said out loud to himself, because there was no one listening to him. His mate was up in there daughters room helping her get dressed. He did not understand why she would need special hair just to see a ordinary ningen.

Finally after 2 hours they were ready to go to the party!

Sesshomaru was not so much excited but anxious, he could not wait to see the looks on his hanyou half brothers face when he sees his koishii miko singing. There were a few things in the Taiyoukai's life that caused him to laugh or smile but imagining the look on both Inuyasha and Kouga's face he would see, he could not help the amused chuckle that sounded out of his throat. 'This is going to be amusing' he thought as he pulled on a pair of black trousers.

Sesshomaru knew Kagome would be just as if not more surprised then the mutt or the ookami. He was determined to go there early so he could make sure he was there to witness the looks on there faces. "this is going to be a day none of them would forget" he said to himself with a chuckle at his personal joke. He doubted they would find this so funny 'especially Inuyasha' but he was known for having a twisted sense of humor.

Sesshomaru was not one to fuss over looks because it came quiet natural to him, but since this was a special occasion he actually tried to look good. Which resulted in him looking exceptional. He always knew he was a good looking youkai, that was nothing new to him. However if he wanted to stand out he would have to try considering how much the miko loved his brother in the past.

Grabbing the gift from his kitchen table he headed to his car. It would take him about an hour to drive there from where he currently was.

Kagome sat in the salon getting her hair and nails done for the event she was hired for, her record company would not allow anything less. She already knew what she was to perform for the party so had to dress accordingly. She hated the pre show rush she had to endure before the private or tour concerts it was a hassle. She was thankful that Taylor would take care of speaking with the parents to tell us where we will perform. She wanted to hurry up and get it done and leave, not that she had anything better to do because she didn't. but she hated being mauled by groups of obsessed fans. She figured she would sign some autographs after the show for the birthday girl then leave as soon as she was able.

Once she was through with the salon her limo brought her home to change into her outfit for the party. She was wearing a light pink shirt that ties around the neck and bares her shoulders, it also bares her upper back and belly button. With blue jean shorts that rode low on her hips and a pair of pumps to match.

Finally she was ready to go to that party.
