Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

------------------------------------------------

Today was the day of the Chirstmas party. Inuyasha being as rich as he is gave Kagome money so that see could go get a new dress for the party. After a lot of persuading she finally took it and went to the mall, with Sango to find a new dress.

"Find anything yet, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Not yet, but I think I found something for you." Kagome held up a long black dress that had a red sash through the middle.

"Wow it's beautiful." Sango took it and went into one of the changing rooms.

"Sango you deffinatily have to buy it." Kagome said once she came out of the changing room.

"Alright let me get back into my clothes then I'll help you find something."

"Okay." She went back to looking at the dresses while she waited for Sango. Kagome went through rack after rack intill something caught her eye. It was a long red dress the tied around the neck and had very light sparkels on it.

"Looks like we've found a winner." Sango said from behind her.

"Ahhhh...Don't sneek up on me like that."

"Sorry. Now go try the dress on." Sango pushed Kagome towrds the changing rooms and sat on a bench holding her already purchased dress.

A couple minutes later Kagome came out of the changing room. "So what do you think?"

"Wow you look amazing Kagome."

"Really?"

"Yeah you have to buy it." Kagome went back into the changing room and put on her normal clothes and went to check out. After she paid for the dress they both went home to get ready for the party since it was already 6 o'clock.

Once Kagome got home she took a shower and started to get ready. She put on her dress and started to do her makeup. She put on a light pink eyeshadow, black mascarra and a light colored lip gloss. Next she put her hair up in a loose bun and put on a pair of black 2 inch heels.

"Wow, Kagome. You look great." Came a voice. Kagome turned around to find her mom and almost started crying.

My mom...just talked to me?... A tear went down Kagome's face. "Mom? I thought you didn't even know I exsit."

"I know I've been a very bad mother since as long as I can remember, but that Inuyasha kid came and opened my eyes." At this point Mrs. Higurashi was crying her eyes out.

"Mom..."

"No it's my fault. I've always thought mikos were different and all thay did was purify people. I never thought for once that me not talking to you was hurting you, but now if I put myself in your shoes...Well I realize you're really strong...practicly growing up without parents...And I'm really sorry I've put you through that."

"Inuyasha talked to you?"

"Yes...While you were at the mall...He told me about Kori and everything. Inuyasha is really someone special, Kagome...And you are too. I just wish I would've relized that sooner."

"Oh mom." Kagome went over to her mom and gave her a big hug. "Ever since we found out I was a miko you never treated me the same."

"I know, and I'm sorry Kagome, I really am." They broke apart and Mrs. Higurashi looked into her daughters eyes. "Well you better get cleaned up, you have a party to go to." She smiled at Kagome and gave her one more hug before Kagome went into the bathroom and wiped away her tear soaked makeup and replaced it with a new coat of makeup.

"Thanks Mom." Kagome called out before she left to go to the party. She walked next door and knocked lightly. It was 6:45. She was a little early but she had to thank Inuyasha.

"Hi Kagome."

"Hello Mrs. Takahashi is Inuyasha there?"

"Yes he's setting up for the party up stairs. You can go on up." Izayio opened the door and let Kagome in.

"Thank you." Kagome walked up stairs and found Inuyasha.

"Hi Kagome."

"Inuyasha..." She ran into his arms which made him drop the supplies he was holding. Inuyasha put his arms around her. "Inuyasha you are the best person I've ever met."

"What are you talking about?"

"My mom...She talked to me...Thank you."

"You're welcome Kagome." He said as they broke apart. "All I did was open her eyes."

"Something I should have done a long time ago."

"Kagome...You made my life better by just being there and so the least I could do was talk to your mom."

"What's all the commotion about?"

"Sango...My mom...talked to me."

"She did? How?" Sango asked franticly.

"Inuyasha." Was all she could say.

"Wow Inuyasha...How did you do it? I've tried before but..it never worked."

"I just told her what a great person Kagome was and that she should give her a chance, at a normal life." Inuyasha stated.

"Enough about me now, let's get this party started." Kagome said with a smile.

"Yeah I think I hear more people down stairs." All three of them went down stairs.

"Hey Inuyasha." Came Miroku. "Hey Kagome, who's this?"

"This is Sango. Sango this is Miroku." Kagome Introduced.

"Sango huh?"

"Don't get any thoughts monk. I was already warned about you." Everyone started laughing as Miroku pouted.

"Come on Miroku just go one night with out any pervertedness and maybe you'll get a girl." Said Inuyasha.

"Okay...Sango would you like to dance?"

"Sure." Miroku took Sango up stairs where the party was and started dancing with her.

Inuyasha stayed at the door greeting guests and telling them to go up stairs with Kagome by his side.

"Hey Inu."

"Kikyo what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to party why else?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Fine but don't try anything." Kikyo just smiled and went up stairs.

"I take it you don't like Kikyo?" Kagome asked once Kikyo was out of hearing range.

"Nope."

"Well don't worry about her then...There is like 100 other people at this party besides her so chances are you won't even see her the rest of the night."

"Yeah I guess you're right. Let's go up stairs." Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and led her up stairs. "Wanna dance?" Just as he said that a slow song came on.

"Sure." Inuyasha led her out to the dance floor. He put his arms around her waist and she put hers around his neck. "Inuyasha look." Kagome whispered as she pointed towards Sango and Miroku. "Looks like they're hitting it off pretty good."

"Yeah...It doesn't look like he did anything perverted yet."

"Key word...yet." They started swaying back and forth to the beat of the music once they were done laughing about the other couple.

Inuyasha dn Kagome danced to a couple more times then went over to where the refreshments were set up.

"Hi Inuyasha...Wanna dance." Inuyasha turned around to find none other than, Kikyo.

"No thanks...I'm here with Kagome not you." He replied.

"I'm sure Kagome wouldn't mind if I danced with you to one song." She looked over at Kagome and gave her a fake smile.

"Actually, Kikyo she would mind."

"And how do you know?" She challenged.

"Because I'm her boyfriend, that's how I know." With that Kikyo stuck her nose up in the air and walked away.

"Kikyo troubles?" Miroku asked as he was coming off the dance floor hand-in-hand with Sango.

"Yeah."

"So how are you two getting along?" Kagome asked tauntingly.

Sango blushed in response.

"It's okay if you like him Sango."

That made Sango blush even harder.

"She does like him." Inuyasha whispered in Kagome's ear.

"Yeah, but does Miroku like her?"

"Let's find out." Inuyasha took Miroku and pulled him aside. "Hey Miroku, do you like Sango?"

"Well..."

"I knew it."

"I didn't even-"

"You didn't have to it's written all over your face. You do know she likes you too right?" He questioned.

"Really?"

Inuyasha nodded as they walked back over to the girls.

"Yup he likes her." Inuyasha whispered to Kagome again.

"Let's leave them to get acquainted." Kagome pulled Inuyasha back onto the dance floor and they began to dance again.

--------

By now it was close to mid-night and everyone was starting to go home.

"Come on Kagome I'll walk you home." Kagome smiled as they began to walk to her house.

"I had a wonderful time Inuyasha."

"I'm glad." Inuyasha looked into her beautiful golden brown eyes. The world seemed to stop as they began to move closer and closer together. Inuyasha finally broke the gap between them as his lips crashed down on hers in a passionit kiss. "Goodnight Kagome." Inuyasha said after they finally broke apart.

"Night Inuyasha." Kagome said above a mear whisper as she traced the line of her lips.
