Naraku had kissed…ME..?

Wa-Wait! What was Naraku doing? Well, yea, he was kissing me…as in ME! Right in front of Ice King no less! Oh crap-oh crap! This was sure to be the talk of the school by tomorrow! Why had- Why is Naraku even doing this? I'm sure last time he DID speak of us just being FRIENDS right? I pushed Naraku off. He only smiled…that smile! I tell him not to do that smile in front of me! It's mesmerizing! I looked over to Ice King. The surprise on his face had been completely readable. Sesshomaru had been as surprised as I was.

"Na-Naraku?" That had been the only word that I could speak at the moment, I had still been too shocked at Naraku's actions. I felt my face burning red with a deep blush as I forced myself to speak, "W-Why'd you do that?" Naraku didn't answer. He only handed me my NorthFace bag, sent a look to Sesshomaru from across the Parking Lot, then starred down to face me.

"Once you project at Sesshomaru's is done, I expect you to make your way back to my house, Kagamie has been bothering me about dressing you up again," Naraku smiled once more, before turning around, and starting to slowly trek away, he spoke in a low, barley audible whisper, "I'll be looking all over for you, Kagome…"

…Wait…I've heard that somewhere before…

"I've been looking all over for you," "Kagome…"

Could he…no…No, that can't be right! I've heard the same thing from him! From Ice King!

"I can't tell you that."

"I've been looking all over for you…"

They both sounded so familiar…

They both sounded like –

-Kai…

The Missing Masquerade

The drive with Sesshomaru the Ice King had been awkward. After the whole scene with Naraku, I'm pretty sure he's thinking something that I'll be forced to answer – "So you are dating Naraku," I turned to face him. He sat in the driver's seat, looking ahead to the road before him, "Wa- No! No! It's nothing like that!" The steamy red had started making its way to my face once again, "So then," Sesshomaru spoke, "Why does your face flush with the mention of his name? Hn?" Hearing that question, I started to fidget with my fingers, "N-no…it's not like that…"

"You are very awkward." He spoke.

"Yeah well so are you Ice King." Than I spoke.

I never even knew we where having an easy going conversation.

The Missing Masquerade

I had been both surprised and not so surprised to find that Sesshomaru's house had been as big as Naraku's.

When we had finally reached our destination, Sesshomaru mentioned to me something about him having an 'annoying younger brother who had apparently been the DJ over at the schools Masquerade Ball who is very useless so try an ignore him' over at his place. When I asked about him, Sesshomaru only said that he was a handful around the house. He casually spoke of his dad being overseas and his mom…uh…off somewhere. As we neared the front door, Sesshomaru told me to stand back.

I did.

Ice King had banged on the door three whole times, and then backed away.

The door swung open with a smash and a flash of red and white. "Oi? Sesshomaru? Ya tryin' ta kill me or something? What the hell's wrong with you ya dimwit?"

Oh…I thought to myself, THIS is what he meant…
