I just wanted to use this little space for a very special announcement…ahem…
I GOT 113 REVIEWS!!!!!
Go me, go me! Go you, go you! Now review, now review! Before I'm through, before I'm through! Please, please! I'm on my knees; I'm on my knees. I gotta sneeze, I gotta sneeze.
Okay, I'm done now.
Hey, people. I'm gonna end the votes after this chapter so review and vote, but don't just review to say 'Kagome/?' because then it makes me feel that my story wasn't good enough for you to praise. I won't count your vote if you don't give me SOME feedback of what you liked about it. Not fair, I know, but I feel cheated so I stick with my decision.
NOTICE(!!!): Make sure to check the votes and see what's going on. If you wanted, I could probably make an alternate ending. Tell me what, you, the readers want. Threesomes, alternate ending, different stories for other pairings, any suggestions on the demoness that hasn't been made yet? Thank you.

Some walked, others trudged as Kagome led them to downtown Tokyo with a bounce in her steps. She had a look of pure happiness and would point things out in ecstatic ness for Kage.
"And that's the theater! A theater is where you go and watch pictures move and they create a story. It's really better than it sounds!" she turned to see if Kage understood. He nodded and she continued, "That's the grocery store and that over there-".
They continued like this for a good thirty minutes before they ran into the unexpected. Yes, it was unexpected, but HE was even more unexpected.
"Kagome!" At the sound of her name everyone turned to their right and saw a boy, across the street, waving his arm so fast and high it looked like it would fall off any given second.
"Uh, hi, Hojo-kun," she yelled back and waited politely for him to cross the street, "What's up?"
"Kagome, you shouldn't be out of bed yet! Have you recovered already!" Hojo said in that 'I'm-Happy-And-I-Don't-Care-If-You-Have-A-Life-Cause-I-Can't-Take-A-Hint' voice. Kagome flashed a fake smile.
'This is gonna be a long day,' was her last thought as Hojo slyly joined their little walk through Tokyo babbling on and on and on-

"Kagome," Kage whispered when the hobo walked a little farther from earshot of them.
"What?" Kagome whispered back curiously. What had started to be a nice, relaxing walk had turned out to be a big disaster and now Yusuke was trying to get Hojo to leave…with Kuwabara…
"Let's sneak away now!" Kage whispered and pulled her along by her arm before she could answer. Kagome just blinked and followed him. Only two other people had noticed their disappearance and they were currently planning their own.
{Come on, now's the chance you're waiting for! Hurry!} Youko pressed as Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hojo turned their backs on them, {Kagome has already left!}
(Now, Kurama,) Hiei stated. He watched in amusement as Kurama darted towards a tree as fast as he could, and slowly strolled to the tree himself. Kurama watched Hiei with wonder as he passed him slowly, turning his head with his movement. Then he stood up straight to follow with a light blush staining his cheeks. Hiei just rolled his eyes and continued.
[Okay…so now where do we go?] Youko sighed in aggravation and Hiei closed his eyes with suppressed aggravation. The fox was starting to get on his nerves.

"Well, here we are," Kagome stated. Kage was still staring at her in disbelief, though, now, he wasn't as shocked as before. He quickly shifted his glance to what his mind was telling him was a figment of his imagination. It clearly wasn't really there, right? …Right…
"Kagome…I think you should go lay down for a little while," he directed at her by turning to face her but keeping his eyes on the 'figment of his imagination'.
"Why, you did it before, remember?" she asked. What was with him? Even Inuyasha understood, and that was saying something right there!
"No, actually, I don't," he drawled dryly and crossed his arms with a pout. His eyes kept wondering back to the 'figment of his imagination' pondering what was really going on, on the other side of the brink. Was something going on that couldn't be explained? Did this thing really execute what it was said to? Could it be that Kagome wasn't crazy, that she was indeed sane? Did the world really seem to be less cruel? …Or had he just lost his mind?
He chose the latter.
"C'mon, Kage, fetch the stick!" Kagome yelled as she threw the stick down into the well. Kage stared at her dryly.
"Kagome," he drawled, "I am a dragon youkai, not a dog. Do not proceed to insult me again," he said and turned back to the well.
Wow, there goes the Sesshomaru side. …What do dragons chase? Knights? Kagome thought as Kage walked up to the side of the well, precautious of any tricks or traps that such an act might trigger. Kagome, once again joining the sane world, had finally noticed his position near the well and decided to…um, help him a little.
She bounced silently behind him and with a little push sent him head first into the massive opening of the well and into its inky depths. But the noise that greeted her ears was very unanticipated and forced a startled gasp from her throat.
Leaning over the edge, she found Kage sitting with a scowl at the bottom of the well. He was lying on his back (in a very ungraceful, not Sesshomaru…or anyone for that matter) way with his arms crossed across his chest and his legs straight up against the wall of the well. He didn't attempt to move from that position and neither did Kagome.
That's why she ran.

Walking down the halls of the Higarashi Shrine's owners' home, a very tried man strolled towards his current keep in the house. Sure, it was shared with someone most unwanted but it was better than sitting around waiting for the next idiot to disturb him with so much as a look in his direction!
Almost all of the idiots were present, downstairs, waiting for a host. That was why he was retreating (…no, just…moving out of the way…he didn't retreat) from that particular area of the house. He spent most of the day having people try his patience and he was very close to the end of it. The last thing he needed was to play host and get everyone some milk and cookies.
He entered his room, shutting the door behind him whilst planning a very long, very needed nap but stopped short at the most peculiar sound. Had that shirt just sneezed? After many moments of silence he shook his head and blamed it on his exhausted mind, another (of many) drawl back(s) from humans.
He had spent many hours looking for Kagome but just couldn't find her. He knew she was in the house but when ever he was on her trail someone would ask him to do something, and as much as he wanted to say 'no' he didn't for that someone turned out to be Ms. Higarashi herself. And by the time he was done, Kagome had changed locations. It was as if she knew he were on to her. And the fact that her scent was everywhere didn't help.
He sighed and pulled off his shirt and stretched before tossing it to the bed (his roommate's bed to be exact) and falling back onto his own. Now his nose was being troublesome! It kept taking in rainfall and waterfalls, the very scent he had been tracking down all day.
His eyes snapped open though he didn't remember when they had closed. Was it possible that she had hidden in here, in his bedroom? Did she think that this would be the safest place? In her enemy's lair? How clever!
He knew another sought her, too, but was looking for her for different reasons. Kage had not been a happy youkai when Sesshomaru saw him last. Sesshomaru had been quite content to just watch him moodily find Kagome all day, but that would have required to subject himself to being continually asked for help and that would have made him in a shoddier mood.
She must have been taking refuge in the safest place in the house to catch her breath and her thoughts. She could even have been just about to leave when he came in. He wondered if she knew it was him.
"Why do you smell like lemons, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked from behind the bookshelf in the darkest corner of the room, though, it wouldn't have helped from youkai sight if they happened to look. He frowned at the question and took a silent sniff of the air, his eyes widening when he found that he did indeed smell like lemons. He glared at the farthest corner, the one she happened to reside in and remembered that she was a demon now.
"I was caught in my search for you by a very…demanding woman and was asked to be put to work," he supplied after a moments silence for a search of words.
"My mom, eh? Asked you to polish the wood with that lemon stuff?" she asked as she removed herself from the bookshelf and dusted off any dust that might have caught to her shirt.
Sesshomaru wisely remained quiet after the verbal attack to his ego. Instead, he stood to grab his shirt and gracefully pull it over his head. When he was done he found Kagome looking at a wall with her back to him. Shaking his head, he waited to see how long it would take for her to realize he was done.
She looked at the wall like she was memorizing every little detail to put in a painting. It was rather amusing. She stayed like this for five minutes before throwing a quick glance over her shoulder to see if the coast was clear. When she shall Sesshomaru lying back, reading a book, let's just say she wasn't pleased.
"Are you quite finished?" Sesshomaru asked when he realized she was staring at him. Her only response was the increased heat of her glare. With an almost sigh, he set his book down and sat up.
"Why have you been hiding all day?" he asked her after a moment's silence.
"Kage's looking for me," she replied. Of course, this gave her an 'I-already-knew-that!' look from Sesshomaru and she sighed.
"I made him angry," his look didn't fade, "I was trying to get him through the well but when he jumped it didn't work!" Here, she paused and thought about the whole ordeal. He had looked really angry when he passed by her hiding spot. He even asked for help in finding her.
"Please don't tell him where I am!" she pleaded and begged Sesshomaru when she realized he could possibly tell. He was just evil like that and would do that kind of thing because he could.
His eyebrow quirked. She really thought he would tell him? "Why would I tell?"
"Because he wouldn't want to have to throw her down the well," a voice floated from the door as it cracked open slowly. Kagome jumped and Sesshomaru turned as they watched Kage open the door menacingly. The air in the room stopped circulating and everyone held their breath. Kage took one step through the door and they saw his eyes, blood red, staring at them.
"N-now, K-K-Kage," Kagome stuttered, "I can explain-" she was cut off by a snort of laughter. Looking up, she found Kage nowhere to be seen. Glancing at Sesshomaru curiously, she found him looking disdainfully at the floor. Following his gaze she found Kage in a laughing fit all over the ground.
"Just kidding," he said once he settled down enough to breath, "you should have seen the looks on your faces!" And he burst out laughing once again, Sesshomaru almost rolled his eyes and Kagome…well, Kagome fainted.
