Chapter 7: Dance, Dance

She sighed as she looked through the racks of clothes. She had to get ready for the dance, but she had no clue as to what to wear. She really could use some help with this one, which was why she had brought Sango with her. Sango was going to go to her school dance as Miroku's date. He of course never met her, but had agreed. Besides, Sango wanted to see the result of Kikyo's humiliation. Sango was already dressed in a magenta dress that tied behind her neck. It had a slit up one leg and her hair was up in a messy bun. She had on red lip stick, magenta eye shadow, a light blush and mascara. All in all she looked good.

"Why not go with a sapphire dress?" Sango asked. "It'll bring out your eyes."

"But which one?" She flipped through the racks.

"Kagome, this dress just came in," Jakotsu said. He walked towards her, sapphire dress in hand. "I thought that you would look just stunning in it." He held up the dress. It tied behind her neck and had a low swooping back. There was a slit over the right leg and was shorter in the front than it was in the back. It was simple yet elegant.

"It's perfect," Kagome said. "I have three hours before the dance. I need to get dressed." She took the dress from Jakotsu and went into the dressing room she usually used. She slipped into it to see that it hugged her frame and accented her hips, ass, and breasts. The hairdresser came up behind her and started to brush out her hair before putting her long hair up in an elegant do, her usually messy bangs were brushed over a single eye. The makeup artist stood in front of her and filled her lips in with a pink color before placing silver eye shadow over both eyes and a sapphire colored mascara. Light pink was added to her cheeks.

"You know how to keep the makeup on," the makeup artist said.

"And my hair as well." She pulled on the sapphire heels and stood. She left her dressing room and Sango was left speechless.

"You're gorgeous," Sango whispered.

"She is my top model," Jakotsu said. "That dress suits you well." He held up his camera. "You agreed to take a few photos before leaving. It was part of our agreement for you borrowing a dress from us."

"I know, Jakotsu." She smiled at the man and started her poses as Jakotsu started to take pictures. Somehow Sango got riled into the pictures and they had stopped an hour before the dance started.

"We got to get going, Jakotsu. The dance starters in an hour and I still have to go meet up with Sesshomaru." He nodded.

"I'll drive you two to his house. Wouldn't want two beautiful girls running around on the streets by themselves," Jakotsu said. He held up the keys to his car. "Let's get going, wouldn't want to hold him up." They walked out to the car, but after Kagome grabbed a shawl. She had draped it around herself.

He was waiting for Kagome to get back. She had left with her female friend from her karate class almost four hours ago. Did it really take her that long to get ready for the dance? He started to pace in his suit. It was solid white with a gold color tie. He turned to the door to see it opening.

"Sorry we're a bit late," Sango said, all dolled up. "That Jakotsu guy wanted pictures, but he dropped us off here so we wouldn't be any later." She stepped completely in and allowed Kagome in. His breath got caught in his throat. Was that really here? She looked even more different from the shoot he had done with her.

"Ah, Kagome! You look so beautiful," Toga said as he walked in. He had a camera in hand. "I want to get a few pictures of you before you leave. Who is your friend, Kagome?"

"That is Sango. She is in my karate class," Kagome said.

"She looks so dear as well. You really are a beautiful, intelligent girl, Kagome." He smiled at her. "Now, get closer you three." He started to take pictures of the three. He really did think Kagome and Sesshomaru looked good together, more so now, her all dolled up.

"We should get going, otousan." He nodded and the three of them left. They hopped into Sesshomaru's car and he drove off. Miroku was going to meet them there so they wouldn't worry so much about him. It would be their appearance that he wanted to see the reaction to. He smirked at the thought. Inuyasha had already left to pick up Kikyo in a red suit. His brother and red. Really.

He parked the car and got out to help them both out. The only one outside was Miroku. Everyone was already indoors. This was how they had planned it.

"I guess he isn't going to show up with Kagome," Kikyo said to her group of friends. "Really disappointing since I wanted her to face plant."

"Why do you hate her so much?" Someone asked.

"She's always had my parents favor. They really don't seem to care what I do." She sighed.

"You should be happy," they commented. "My parents gave me a curfew for tonight. It's such a drag." She looked around. "I was really looking forward to seeing Sesshomaru tonight too."

"You know my father wants him to go out with Kagome," Inuyasha stated. "Something about her being good for him." He looked a bit pissed. All Kikyo's friends ever talked about was his elder half brother.

"Oh look, the school pervert just showed," a female commented. "Who is that with him?" They were surprised by the woman that was more well endowed than them.

"Hey Miroku, sorry we're late," he was greeted by what sounded like Kagome, but it didn't look like Kagome.

"Do I know you?"

"You cannot even recognize your own best friend," Sesshomaru scoffed.

"Is that really Kagome?" He asked.

"A girl always has her secrets," Kagome mocked. "But as I told you, I would bring you a date. Miroku, this is Sango, Sango, that is Miroku. Now Miroku, behave yourself. Sango has a strong right arm."

"You are a lovely lady," he kissed her hand. "Shall we head in?" She nodded and he headed in, stares coming their way.

"She looks like she could be a model," they whispered as Miroku walked with her to the dance floor. "It must mean Kagome is here." They looked towards the door to see Sesshomaru walk in, a woman on his arm. "She looks like that model from the magazines. Kagome must have backed out."

"I should have known she was going to back out," Kikyo said. "My ugly little sister had to break such a deal."

They watched as the shawl was removed from her shoulders, revealing smooth, flawless skin and the newest design in the fashion world. She had to be a model. And now everyone was staring.

"You're so beautiful. Can I get a dance with you?" He kissed her hand.

"Do you mind?" Sesshomaru bit out. "She is my date tonight, isn't that right, Kagome-chan?" He sent her a devilish smirk and a kiss on her knuckles.

"That's the nerdy Higurashi twin?" He looked her over. She was extremely attractive. "She looks a lot like that model that works with Jakotsu."

"I am that model," she commented. "Shall we dance, Sesshomaru-kun?" He nodded and lead her off.

Kikyo was shocked. That was her sister? She idolized that model, only to find out it was her sister. Her sister was in all those magazines. It was her sister all those guys talked about when seeing all those ads. She was even sure her parents didn't even know Kagome was modeling. What would they say? But her sister was beautiful. She had to admit that.

Naraku saw her and had to lick his lips. She was positively delicious and she actually had a face to match. He couldn't help but eye her body as she danced the tango with Sesshomaru. She had requested it and now everyone was standing off to the side, watching the two of them dance such an intimate dance. He was watching as Sesshomaru's hands traveled intimately over her body. The females were whispering and the males were gawking. He really wanted to get her alone and possibly make her his. Why would he pass up such a delectable female?

Toga chuckled and decided he would send the pictures to her father. He uploaded the photos to his computer and opened his email. He attached the photos before sending them to her father. He wanted to see what he thought. He got a phone call shortly after.

"Hello."

~That is beautiful girl your son has there.~

"She is beautiful, and that is Kagome."

~That's Kagome? I guess it has been a while since I have truly seen her face.~

"I want her to marry Sesshomaru in the future."

~Toga?~

"We've been friends for a long time. Don't you think that they would look good together?" He sighed. "She is such s darling girl, and so smart. We have always wanted to merge companies."

~I want her to marry the one she loves.~

"I guess I was getting my hopes up." He sighed. He really wanted Kagome for a daughter. "I really wanted a daughter like her."

~Toga. We should ask them about it first. I don't want to force anything on her.~

"We'll discuss it later." He sighed. He hoped the two were having fun.

Author's note: Here is another chapter. The next chapter will be a continuants of the dance. I'm heading off to sleep now so leave me reviews.
