Liz was frustrated with the handsome man seated next to her. He seemed to be paying more attention to Kagome than to herself. "Aarrghh, I hate her. She's so clueless about men and yet guys always fall all over her. Why isn't InuYasha ogling me? My boobs are practically falling out of this damn dress."
"So, InuYasha, what kind of car do you drive?" Liz asked in what she hoped was a seductive voice.
Kagome rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time and responded before InuYasha, "Like that matters?"
"Of course, it does," shot Kagome a look of death. " You can tell a lot about a person by the kind of car they drive," Liz replied coyly, smiled up at InuYasha.
"Hardly. I think it's more of a testament of how materialistic the person is that's asking," Kagome retorted.
"Oh, then what do you use to gauge a person's worth?" Liz said haughtily.
"Oh, you know, the small stuff. Like strength of character, integrity, loyalty, honor, courage, honesty. "Kagome answered flippantly.
Kim pipeed in, "You go girl!"
InuYasha chuckled at their exchange, met Kagome's eyes he smiled warmly. "She is amazing. I definitely want to get to know her."
The table conversation turned to sex, everyone's favorite topic. Mild crude humor on favorite positions, and the whole table roared with laughter. Each person began telling the agonizing tale of how he or she lost their virginity.
Liz seized the opportunity to stomp on Kagome, belligerently she blurted, "At least, I didn't lose my virginity to some nameless guy at a Halloween party half-way across the world!"
A hush fell over the table and all eyes looked to Kagome.
Kagome coolly turned to lock gazes with Liz and answered matter-of-factly, as if she was commenting on the weather, "Hmmm... let me get this straight, Liz. You think it's far more scandalous for a 19-year-old to lose her virginity at a party than a 13-year-old to do her boyfriend of only one week?"
Hisses and laughter sprinkled the air. Kim exclaimed, "Kagome: 2. Liz: 0!" And leaned on David, both giggled. The others chuckled and hackled. Liz shrank in her seat, pouted.
InuYasha's brows furrowed. She lost her virginity only six years ago at a Halloween party... half-way across the world... "Oh, Gods! That's why she seems so familiar!"
