Thanks for all the reviews I've been having. Sorry it took so long to update but I haven't had any ideas.

Audience: It's Valentine.

Funarahi: Not in this story.

Audience: Oh yeah.

Funarahi: But just for Valentine I will dedicate a story to it.

Audience: Cool.

Lets begin.

Rush Out

-

Kagome propped her head into her hands. She sighed wistfully.

Her mind had been on that little boy a lot. About how his eyes seemed so painful and lost. How it seemed as if every joy had been ripped from his soul.

Kagome frowned. A boy that little with no family. At least she thought he had no family.

She stared at the rain. Condensation formed on the window and began coursing down in little watery streaks.

A door opened and she jumped at the sound it made. It was like a whip snapping.

She turned around slowly and her eyes widened in surprise.

It was InuYasha.

He was looking grumpy and very annoyed. "Get dressed."

"What"

It took a while for that simple statement to sink in. He had barely talked to her during her first two weeks here but that didn't matter.

"I said 'Get dressed'." he stated more slowly as if he were talking to a child.

"Where are we going"

He turned back to face her. His face was taut and revealed no motion. "Dinner."

With that he slammed the door closed.

Kagome flinched. Rude. She glared at the door hatefully as if it were InuYasha himself.

She turned back to the window and glanced wistfully at the rain losing herself in her trail of thoughts.

There was a polite knock at the door.

Kagome was about to shout when she stopped.

There was another knock. This time more insistent.

"Kagome"

Kagome breathed out a sigh of relief. It was only Sango.

"What"

"Are you getting dressed"

What? Was Sango going too?

"Why"

"Isn't InuYasha taking you out to dinner"

In that one statement Kagome realized that Sango wasn't going... and that something was horribly wrong.

"What's going on"

There was silence on the other side of the door and then a soft sigh.

"Lord Sesshomaru's coming home. He requested that he be alone in the house for a few hours."

Kagome's face got suddenly brighter but then faded.

"Alone"

"Yes."

"Then why aren't you and Rin going with InuYasha and me"

"Because Miroku asked me to go to the carnival with him. And Rin."

Kagome smiled. Miroku and Sango together? Would they kill each other first?

"Ok. I'll get dressed."

There was more silence and then a murmured 'Thanks' from Sango.

That thanks said everything.

-

Sango walked away from Kagome's door with a sigh. The real reason Lord Sesshomaru wanted to be alone when he came home was because he had some 'company' over and they won't be pretty.

Sango flinched as she remembered the last time Lord Sesshomaru came home.

-Flashback-

Lord Sesshomaru's white hair flew behind him as he ran into the mansion but, he was not alone. Ten other bulky men followed him.

"Was Kagura exterminated?"

The other henchmen looked nervous as they looked at Lord Sesshomaru.

Behind Sesshomaru the double doors were open a little bit but, it was enough for Sango and InuYasha to hear.

Sesshomaru whipped out a silencer and the men flinched. Sesshomaru continued in a cold voice.

"I want Naraku's bastard dead." then as an afterthought he added "They tried to kill Rin."

Sango and InuYasha were now gagging silently. The strong smell of blood was coming from Sesshomaru and the men.

"If Kagura gets within ten yards of Rin you'll all be dead. You are dismissed."

The men gulped and ran away.

-End Flashback-

Sango shivered. She suddenly looked up and found that she was standing in front of Miroku's door. She ran her fingers over the oak carved pictures of cupids and angels. Smiling feebly she knocked on the door.

-

Kagome stood in the common room in a night black dress with a decent v-neck and a short cut at the bottom. She had piled her hair up into a bun but then had changed her mind and had let her hair fall softly over her shoulders. She wore black sandals with high heels and was looking anxiously around.

InuYasha glanced down at his own black tux.

Man, I'm going to kill Sesshomaru for this.

But he had to admit Kagome looked great.

Her slim milky legs were tapping against the floor while her slender hands played with themselves. He gulped nervously as he rounded the corner into Kagome's view.

A big smile tugged at her lips and he glanced down at the ground.

"Come on." he said roughly taking her hand and dragging her to the door.

When they were into the limousine he snuck another glance at her and was surprised to find her looking back at him.

"Where are we going"

"Swentuio."

She repeated him as if tasting the words on her lips.

She suddenly smiled at him.

He was tempted to smile back but resisted the urge. "What"

The smile faltered slightly but then it was on full force. He searched her face for any kind hint that the smile might be fake but as far as he was concerned the smile was pure genuine.

They glanced at each other a few more minutes and then they both broke their gaze at the same time and looked out the window with their cheeks burning.

A few moments later the limo slowed to a stop. InuYasha went over to Kagome's door and opened it for her. He held her soft hand as he helped her out of the car.

He smiled with amusement as she gazed at all the lights and the fanciness of it all.

He opened the door and smiled even wider enjoying himself for the moment.

"Shall we"

Funarahi: What do you think?

Audience-smack-

Funarahi: Hey! What was that for?

Audience-smack- For giving us a cliff hanger.

Funarahi-sniff- Well sorry! I just wanted to update so you wouldn't chase me with torches and stuff like that.

Audience: Hmmm... that's a good idea.

Funarahi-gulp-

Ending note: Review? I'll tell you this. The next chapter will be about the dinner. Hehe... until then!
