Sorry about the VERY! late chapter, I got so caught up in school that I had no time for this story. I also want to apologize to those who have waited long for this. I hope it's up to your standard.


INUYASHA'S P.O.V.

I threw my mask on the ground. This party was so f$%king dull. I don't know why I allowed Sessshoumaru to drag me to such a shindig. I was tired of being bombarded by sluts: the old and the young. Why couldn't they understand that I wasn't in the mood? They were all just like Kagome…whores.

I was ready to leave right now. I was just about to step out when I noticed Sesshoumaru on the dance-floor with a gorgeous girl. I never noticed her tonight, or I would have made a mood. Don't judge me, Kagome may have broken me, but she did ultimately obliterate me. Miss Mysterious danced heavenly, a little clumsy at first, but the way her body moved was mesmerizing. As she was twirled her, hair glistened in the light.

She and her partner began to draw near. I got smell a whiff of her perfume, however I smelt something even better in her scent which the perfume underline, her natural smell of magnolias. This divine scent triggered something in me. I slightly remember that particular scent but I could not pinpoint its owner.

When I came out of my trance I realized that the number was finished and Sesshoumaru and the miss were retreating from the floor. I intensely watched the couple while simultaneously trying to figure out where I had seen her before. When I saw Sesshoumaru's rare act of affection, I felt a tug in my heart.

So Sesshoumaru had feeling for her. Might as well, we wouldn't have worked out, she must be one of those black holes that suck the fun out of everything, but I wouldn't mind if she would suck something different, if you get my drift. So the bitch was off limits, even though I didn't like Sesshoumaru, he was my brother and I hate to get Sesshoumaru angry, he can get into murder mode, if he was provoked enough. So I decided that the rest of my night would be sent staring at her.


SANGO'S P.O.V.

When Sesshoumaru left, I begun to fell uncomfortable, like someone was watching me. A shiver ran down my spine when I begun thinking that it might be one of those old geezers looking at me. I started to feel my heart quicken and my stomach cramp. Oh gosh I hope it not one of them in a wheel chair with the oxygen mask attached.

I slowly turned around as was met with a pool of amber eyes. It seems that Inuyasha didn't bother to keep on his mask on. I was astonished the thought of him staring at me, but I was more surprised at the blush that was gradually creeping up in his face. He quickly turned around. A huge smile graced my hidden face.

I started to stroll slowly over towards his figure. Some of you may be thinking that I still "love" Inuyasha but I don't, I do care for him though. Even though he disgraced and disregarded me for the two years we have been in high school together- mostly disregarded me- I still cared for him in a way. This quirky feeling came about during my visits to Sesshoumaru's house, it started out as pity then grew into something more…. care.

"Hey, how is going big boy?

Inuyasha immediately spit out his drink in a shower of droplets as he felt my hand on his thigh.

"Could I help you with anything" I said in my most seductive voice. Inuyasha tried to hide his red face. I lifted my mask while turning Inuyasha's face to mine. When he eventually turned around, he saw a large smile printed on my face. His shocked expression instigated a bubble of laughter from me. This is the second most fun I have been having all evening (I think you know the first).

"Sango, what the hell are you doing here"

"Well hello to you Inuyasha and yes I'm quite fine"

"Sorry, Sango!"

"'Well if you must know, I came here as Sesshoumaru's date"

"I kinda figured that much"

"So you and Sesshoumaru are an item now huh?"

I hesitated slightly.

"Do you want the truth?"


INUYASHA'S P.O.V.

I held my breath, I don't know why but a part of me was wishing that she wasn't. As I stared at her I felt something drop in me. She wavered.

"Really, I don't know, but one thing was for sure, he and I are not an item"

I felt good, but that didn't last long when I realized that a hint of sadness and confusion was evident in her voice. When I saw the crowd moving in the background, I became conscious of my surrounding and heard a new song playing. I out-stretched my hand.

"Would you care for a dance?"

My gesture was a bit hesitating, but I was surprised to see her hand fit so comfortable in mine. However, as I led her to the floor, I good see Sesshoumaru staring at us- more specifically me.

"What the hell have I gotten my self into?"
