Hi. I am having some trouble with a couple of scenes in a future chapter. And so I'd like to see if we can pull off a small contest. And whoever wins, will have their writing appear in a future chapter of this fanfic.

Topic: 2 scenes

Subjects : Scene 1: An elegant mansion behind a huge set of gates with a big staircase leading up to the front door.

Scene 2: An enchanting ballroom with a small orchestra playing music, tables with food + drink, and a terrace overlooking the ocean.

Oh yeah! If anyone would like I need help with a character as well. Trying to settle into college work I'm having a hard time thinking. ; So... yeah! Here is an invite to a second contest! XD

Male

Race: Demon (need both forms)

Side: Evil

Pictures would be wonderful if you could so I know what kind of outfit is his favorite. He's suppossed to be very powerful but I haven't come up with any specific powers for him. But he owns the place the scene contest is for.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!! Like I said, if your writing is chosen it will appear in the fanfic in a future chapter, it will not be tweaked or shuffled or anything. It will be completely your scene(s). I can't guarantee anything about the character however, but I will try to keep him the same for you. It kind of depends on his powers.Anyone is welcome to try either or both or all or whatever. JUST PLEASE GIVE IT A SHOT IF YOU CAN!

F.Y.I. THIS WILL MAKE ME UPDATE THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS A BIT FASTER! (The incentive... )

Ch.11 – Hojo joins the battle

"Good morning Kagome." Hojo stands there with a smile on his face. "Might I take you out for some coffee?"

"I don't like coffee."

"How about some hot chocolate? Please?" Kagome sighs and nods her head. "Thank you!" the boy in front of her smiles. "This is for you." He hands her a pink rose.

"Give me a few minutes ok?" Kagome asks, carefully holding the rose in her hand.

"Take your time!" Hojo beams.

Kagome walks back upstairs to her room and drops the rose on her desk, pulling out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt from her closet. "Why does there have to be three of them?" Kagome asks out loud to herself.

"Three what?" Kagome turns to find Suichi standing in her doorway, his hair now dry.

"Hojo was at the door. He's asked me to go out for some hot chocolate. I shouldn't be gone too long."

"You didn't answer my question." –she's going out with someone else again today.- -Damn that Hojo. I thought we already told him that he can't have her.-

Kagome sighs. "Three guys. Honestly, can't you guys find some other girl to harass?"

"… I'm sorry?"

She sighs again. "Don't worry about it. I'm just ranting, don't mind me. I think the only reason why I'm actually leaving the house with Hojo of all people is because I'm in a good mood. I slept rather well last night."

"Really? That's good." –She slept well because we tucked her in.- Youko smirks on the inside. –That means that she likes us.- Suichi notices something on Kagome's desk. "What's that?"

"Oh it's a pink rose. Hojo gave it to me. You'd think he'd know, if he really likes me, that I'm not really fond of the color pink. I'll have to do something with that later. Unlike the one you gave me, that one has thorns." She runs down the hall to the bathroom with her choice of outfit.

-He didn't even have the mind to think about if the thorns hurt her. He will lose this small battle.- -Indeed.-

"Bye, see you late Suichi!" Kagome runs down the hall.



Kagome quietly sits in a small café with Hojo sitting across the table from her. "What do you want from me Hojo?"

"I'm just really happy that you came out with me today, Kagome. It really means a lot to me."

"But there is a question on your mind."

"…Heh… you know me better than anyone. I was… just wondering… if you'd give me a second chance? Please?"

"Hojo… I already have two guys who like me right now."

"That's ok. I can take up the challenge! Honest!"

-As if. There's no way you can compete against the fox demon, he'd kill you for sure. "And he's cute." Wait. Where the hell did that come from?- Kagome sighs. "I'm not so sure I can handle three guys competing against each other for my feelings."

"Please Kagome!? At least let me try?! I know I screwed up a lot in the past but I'm better now! Please give me a chance?!"

"You're lucky… I'm in a good mood right now."

"Yes!"

Kagome walks back to the house. "I'm home!" When there is no response she starts to search the house. –Since when is there only silence to greet me?- No one is on the first floor. She checks the basement. No one. She checks the attic. Still no one. She sighs and begins checking the second floor. She stops at her room to find a small vase with two roses in it slightly crushing the pink rose from Hojo on her desk. "Suichi…" THUD! Kagome walks over to Suichi's room to find him trying to get up off the floor, his eyes barely open. "Suichi?"

"…K… Kagome?" He looks up at her with sleep-filled eyes. "… Sorry…"

"No, I'm sorry." She kneels down on the floor next to him. "I didn't mean to wake you up. You don't have to magically appear whenever I say your name ya know."

"But… I want to…" He falls over, his head landing on her shoulder.



"…" A light red line appears across Kagome's face. Suddenly something hits her in the back, pushing her over and causing her to fall over onto Suichi, their faces only centimeters apart. FLASH! Kagome looks over to find a toy car with a video camera attached to it. "Nora!" Kagome reaches for the car. "Nora you jerk!"

Suichi wakes up and moves, causing Kagome to be pulled back. His eyes widen slightly as he notices the position he's in. "Kagome?"

"Suichi!" Her face turns slightly red. "Um… I um… heh."

"Hey Shorin! You're missing the show!" Nora yells across the trainging room. "Get the hell over here!"

"What is it now?" Shorin sighs. "I have to go get Kagome before that demon tries anything." He lazily walks over and looks over to see Kagome and Suichi o a TV screen. He looks over at Nora to find her grinning with a controller in her hand.

"He's surprised on the outside because he thinks she did this herself. And on the inside he's trying to hold himself back." She looks up to find Shorin glaring at her. "What? I need some form of entertainment."

"You're making it easier for him to win her."

"… but I'm getting some nice blackmail photos."

-that's adorable! Look at her Red!- Youko gets excited. –I know. But I don't remember how we ended up like this.- -Who the hell cares!- SNAP! A flash stuns him for a second before he notices the toy car a few feet away. –That must be what she was trying to reach when we woke up. That's gotta be Nora.- -So what? This just makes it easier for us to get close to her.- Youko smiles. –Let me handle the camera, you take care of Kagome. Look, she still can't use words. Why don't you help her out with that Red?- -I think I will.- "Kagome?"

"Suichi… I... um…. Sorry… um…"

"Shh." Suichi holds his index finger gently on her lips. "Shh."
