The trio made their way through the overly ornate door of the oh-so-posh Hollywood restaurant, Kagome followed the maitre 'd and the two guys were closely behind her. As they were shown to a round table in the corner where their friends were already seated, InuYasha noticed that Kagome seemed oblivious to the admiring looks and blatant stares from the tables they passed. "Is she clueless or conceited? Either way, this is going to be an entertaining evening. I want to sit next to her."
A young woman with short blonde curls, clad in a floral pink halter dress that barely contained her large breasts stood up and squealed, "Matt! Kagome! Hi! You guys are late," she pouted prettily. Eyeing InuYasha, she said coyly smiling up at him, "Who's your friend?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Oh, geez, Liz, how subtle are ya? Ever heard of playing hard to get? Oh no, that's right. You like to offer up yourself on a platter with your legs spread... on the first date even. Tonight is just going to be a ball."
Clinging to InuYasha's arm, Liz introduced herself, "I'm Liz. Come sit next to me."And maneuvered him to her right.
InuYasha smirked, yet again, "I guess, she'll be an easy lay. Too bad, I prefer a challenge to a chick that'll just fall all over me. Now that Kagome, she's more my type. And those eyes, gray blue... intense. Although, casual sex is always fun..." He smiled down at Liz and pulled out the seat offered.
Kagome stood in front of the first empty seat she saw, directly opposite of Liz and InuYasha. At the table were their newly engaged friends, David and Kim, and two other people she only vaguely remembered from a previous party or "group date."
Liz took a sip of her martini, "This is Stacey." Gestured to the very done woman. Stacey had her hair swept up in a French twist, make-up immaculate and looking like she was out to get a man tonight. "This is Adam." Adam stood up and shook everyone's hand. When he got to Kagome, he held her hand just slightly longer than everyone else's and smiled down at her.
Kagome rolled her eyes again, "Down, boy. Oh, even numbers and looks like only one 'official' couple. Geez, is this a mass set-up or what? Like throwing a net out and seeing who ends up with whom? Kim is really starting to annoy me."
InuYasha caught her attitude, "She is a spitfire. I take it she hates these 'group date' set-ups as much as I do. I'm really beginning to like her. Too bad this Liz chick is all over me. Well, then again, I'm not opposed to a one night stand." A lecherous smile claimed his face.
David gave Kagome a warm hug, "How's the birthday girl?"
Kagome replied, "It's not my birthday until next week. And I'm doing great."
David smiled, "This is your golden year. You turn 25 on the 25th. Sheer magic happens."
"That only applies to those cognizant of it. Magic doesn't happen to idiots." InuYasha silently commented on their exchange and eyed Kagome yet again. "Why does she seem so familiar?"
