Chapter 4 is finally here! Chapter 5 is what I'm sure I'm really gonna enjoy putting up... When I get to it that is...


"No no no Kagome, you're doing it all wrong!"

Kagome turned around quickly; at least as quickly as she could to glare at her overbearing sister.

She had never felt so ridiculous in her entire life. She was decked out in heels so high she could give Tokyo Tower a run for its money and she wore a dress so tight and translucent that she looked like a girl wearing a large condom for a dress.

"Kikyo I'm not trying to complain when you are doing so much to help me." Her voice was laced thickly with sarcasm. "But can you tell me how I am supposed to seduce a demon who hates human women while dressed like a contraceptive that's been used countless times?"

Kikyo rolled her deep brown eyes. "That will have to go as well Kagome."

"What?"

"You know 'what,' that sarcastic tone and those vulgar words." Kikyo admonished. "Men like their women to remind them of a flowery field." She closed her eyes and smiled. "A sweet, sugary voice like honey and a feminine softness like lilacs."

"If they want all of that, they can either overdose on Lysol or go frolic in a flower garden." Kagome retorted.

Kikyo glared at Kagome. "Fine— I mean if you don't care about your bakery enough to forgo a little discomfort…"

"Okay I'm sorry… I just never thought I would ever have to resort to such a thing. I always called these types of women things like harlots, hoochies and—"

"Wait a minute… so technically you've been calling me all these things?"

Kagome shrugged and looked at her sister nonchalantly. "It is what it is sis."

Kikyo inhaled and then exhaled as she looked at her younger sister. "Okay Kagome, I will ignore those insults if you get this walk right!"

Kagome nodded and her eyes showed nothing but determination. She stepped one long pale leg out in front of the other, the black heel clacking as it made contact with the floor. Kagome felt her left hip go down as she eased her foot on the level ground. She then tried it again with the opposite foot and received the same result.

Kikyo's eyes brightened. "That's it Kagome! Now continue that same pace across the floor completely."

Kagome began to get confident and continued the sway; of course she stumbled and hit the floor right after the third consecutive step. Kikyo closed her eyes again and took on a face of exasperation and spoke in a piteous tone. "Oh Kagome, Kagome, Kagome… Why?"

Kagome mumbled something but it was inaudible, thanks to her face being planted on the ground. Kikyo got up to help her sister and walk her over to a chair. She slipped her sister out of her heels and picked up a pair of kitten heels that she had in a box somewhere.

"Maybe I should have started you off smaller?" Kikyo questioned.

Kagome bit back her nasty response and tried to remind herself that Kikyo was trying to help her out. Kikyo slipped on the shoes on Kagome's feet and Kagome stood up from the chair and found her footing.

She placed a foot over the other just like before and found ease in continuing that pattern in her heels. While her sway was a little awkward, she seemed to be doing much better in those smaller heels. Kagome added a little pep to her step and started to sashay across the floor and Kikyo clapped at her sister's display of femininity.

The door's bell tinkled and signified that someone had entered the store. Kagome turned her head to find a rather familiar face and the owner of two icy blue eyes.

"Hey Kagome, did you miss me?" A fanged grin and a rough voice, Kagome knew this man.

"Oh my goodness you're… I'm sorry who are you again?" Kagome knew him, but she didn't necessarily remember him.

"…Kagome, how could you forget me?" He truly seemed upset.

Kagome walked over to him. "Oh… I'm so very sorry… I didn't mean to forget you; I just have a lot on my plate and…"

Koga grabbed Kagome's hands gently and smiled at her. "It's okay if you forgot, I just have to make sure I leave a good enough impression so you remember this time."

Kagome found herself blushing at the man's forward attitude. She was speechless and could only look into his fierce blue eyes. If that man leant in to kiss her, she would have gladly returned the favor. However, Kagome's trance had been broken the minute she heard a pair of shrill yells.

"KAGOME!"

"KOGA!"

The two turned around to face the person that called out their names. Kikyo pulled Kagome out of Koga's arms and Koga was tossed against the wall roughly. Kagome could see behind Kikyo's head that Inuyasha and the handsome man seemed to be squabbling. Except they looked like two puppies that were play-fighting.

"Kagome, you can't just go around and use seduction on every man. Inuyasha only specified that you can seduce Sesshomaru." Kikyo spoke.

Kagome shook her head and snapped out of her trance. "Kikyo, I'm not dating Inuyasha. I was never in a relationship with Inuyasha and I never will be."

Inuyasha turned around. "Hey! What am I not good enough for you?"

Koga laughed at Inuyasha's offended expression. "You never were smooth with women were you dog- breath?"

Inuyasha quickly forgot Kagome and began to bicker with Koga again. Kikyo and Kagome decided to watch the two demons interact. They were pretty sure that Inuyasha and Koga could be heard by the whole of Japan with the way they carried on.

Kagome finally decided that she had enough of their arguing and she stormed up to them. She lifted her thumb and index finger to her lips and let out a mighty blow of air, that eventually turned into an ear shattering whistle. Koga and Inuyasha both let out canine sounding yelps and a whimper before settling down.

Kagome looked at both of them. "Hey, can you guys stop all that barking and explain to me what's going on?"

Inuyasha growled and sat down at the table. "This mangy wolf is Koga, he's a pain in the ass cousin of mine."

Koga rolled his eyes at the insult. Kagome looked back over at the man and she gasped loudly. "You're the nice man who paid off this urchin's tab… And I forgot you… how awful of me."

Koga smiled charmingly at her. "It's because this idiot stressed you out that day. He never knows how to treat women."

Kagome couldn't believe that she never noticed how attractive Koga was or how manly he was. Maybe she really was too stressed out over everything that was going on?

"So you and Inuyasha are related?"

"Not by blood, but by kin. He's a dog demon and I'm a wolf demon." Koga explained.

"But don't let that wolf shit fool you; he isn't really much to look at." Inuyasha muttered.

"What did you just say, you filthy mutt?" He got in Inuyasha's face. "After I paid off your tab for you!?"

"I ain't ask you for no favors!" Inuyasha spat at the man.

Kagome could practically see lightning strikes fly out of the men's eyes. She turned back to face Kikyo and Kikyo shrugged in response.

"By the way Kagome, why are you dressed up like a used condom? What's that dress made out of— lubricated latex or something?"

Kagome turned around angrily. "See Kikyo! I told you, your dress is tacky, get rid of it!"

Inuyasha's face dropped and he looked over at Kikyo. "Oh no Kikyo, It looks terrible on Kagome but I'm sure you could pull it off."

"No, it's fine if that's how you feel." Kikyo spoke sadly. "I just wanted to help Kagome out."

"Help her with what?" Koga inquired.

"Seducing Sesshomaru." They both said plainly.

Koga and Inuyasha looked at each other for a split second before breaking out into absolute laughter and Kikyo and Kagome looked at each other trying to figure out where the joke seemed to have been.

"Oh man, you're trying to seduce that old man in something like that!?" Inuyasha laughed.

"That would work on Inuyasha or me but he's totally traditional! He would only be disgusted or give you some long speech about how inappropriately you're dressed and he would do it rather rudely."

"So then what kind of clothing does he like?"

"Kimono." They looked at her plainly. "He doesn't even like wearing suits."

Kagome sighed. "Where am I going to get a kimono at such short notice?"

Koga looked sympathetic and Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "Really I think any kind of traditional clothing gets him hot under the fur."

Kagome shook her head and Kikyo suddenly spoke up. "Well Kagome, you could always try wearing that…"

"Wear what…" She trailed off. "Kikyo I'm not wearing that in the streets…"

"Well you don't have many options Kagome and It's already the end of the week, you have to meet with him tomorrow."

Kagome sighed. "Well if it's all that I'm gonna use it for, it might as well be that…"

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome. "You own a kimono? You didn't seem like the type."

"Well, it's not really kimono… but it is traditional." Kikyo spoke up.

Koga smiled at Kagome. "Well I'm sure no matter what it is, you'll look beautiful."

Kagome was too stressed to even get excited by his sweet words. She decided that she would just have to close her shop early and get ready for tomorrow. She suddenly looked up at the rest of them.

"By the way, if you guys feel so bad for me, how about you buy something every time you come in here? I mean my store is on the verge of closing and none of you bought a damn thing!"

Kagome huffed and looked at her friends who all looked confused. "Well take out your wallets already!"

They all groaned and pulled out their wallets while ordering random things to get Kagome off of their backs.

While all were enjoying their forced desserts. Kikyo suddenly gasped and everyone turned to look at her. She covered her mouth with her hands and Kagome looked at her older sister with concern.

"Kikyo, what's wrong!?"

"Oh my god you and Inuyasha aren't dating!"

Kagome, Koga and Inuyasha continued to eat their pastries and decided not to pay Kikyo any attention. Although Inuyasha had been doing a victory dance inside his head, now that Kikyo knew that he wasn't dating her sister.

Later on in the evening. Kagome turned in towards her neighborhood and heard something a little startling. She heard the cries of a person nearby and she debated turning the corner to check out the sound. She decided against being a coward and decided to see what was the source of the sound.

She turned the corner and spotted a little girl, no older than 10 on the ground. Her cries sounded more like muffled whimpers and her frail body shivering from the brisk evening air. Kagome also noted the fact that the young girl was wearing a rather cute kimono.

"Hello little girl… are you lost?"

The girl looked up from her tear soaked hands and faced Kagome. She was an adorable little thing and Kagome felt herself being drawn in to the girl's brown eyes.

The girl ran into Kagome's legs and clutched them powerfully and continued to cry. Kagome looked around nervously, hoping that no one would walk by and interpret this scene as something strange. She grabbed the little girl's tiny hand and walked her over to her apartment building. Kagome reached her door and opened it without disturbing the little girl any further and led the small child into her apartment.

She searched for the light switch and once she found it she had turned it on. The little girl looked around the tiny apartment and looked amazed. Kagome wondered what had gotten the little girl so riled up about her shitty little apartment that she could barely afford to pay for.

"Are you hungry?"

The little girl looked up at Kagome and smiled while nodding her head. Kagome smiled and looked in the mini fridge to see what she could find. She found a small convenience store bento in the back and picked that out for the small girl.

The girl sat at the table patiently and Kagome placed the box down in front of the young girl and walked over to her closet. She slid the door and let out a sigh once she found what she was looking for.

"I hope the Kami do not strike me down for the blasphemous act that I am about to commit."


Yeah I'm sure you guys can guess what Kagome has to bust out for this 'operation: seduction' plan and It's probably going to look just as ridiculous as you think.
