ALL 12 FINALISTS ARE TO MEET IN ROOM 178 AT 4:00

The moment Kagome saw her name printed on the list she began to jump up and down while clapping her hands and screaming like a madwoman, she was so ecstatic that she had managed to make it to the top 12, the best of the best.

As soon as Kagome escaped from the mob that was still crowding around the final list of the top 12 finalists, she ran to the breakfast room to tell her friends the news.

"Kagome did you make it?" Eri asked as soon as Kagome was within earshot.

After getting no response from Kagome who was staring at the breakfast buffet as if it was a dream come true, Yumi yelled at her, "WHO MADE IT TO THE TOP 12?"

"Umm… those croissants and glazed doughnuts look scrumptious, I'm famished!" Kagome chirped as she ignored Eri and Yumi and went to the buffet to laid her plate full of croissants and every type of doughnut that they had, sat down and joined Shippo in enjoying the fabulous breakfast that was complementary.

Eri and Yumi exchanged looks and suddenly jumped onto Kagome, causing her to fall backwards on the ground and drop her chocolate glazed doughnut.

"Damn it Kagome, we aren't going to let you up until you tell us if you made it to the top twelve or not, now SPILL IT!" Eri yelled while Yumi shook Kagome senseless.

Shippo, meanwhile simply watched in amusement while eating the rest of Kagome's chocolate glazed doughnuts while she was. …indisposed.

"Of course I made it to the top twelve you idiots let me up so I can eat my doughnuts, I'M STARVING!"

As soon as Shippo heard this he became pale and suddenly dashed out of the room before Kagome could discover the unfortunate fate of her beloved doughnuts and kill him.

When Sesshomaru arrived in the breakfast room that morning, he found it to be far to loud for his delicate ears and promptly left to go to a nearby café to indulge in one of the few luxuries that he allowed himself.

"Hello, welcome to Starbucks! What would you like to order? Our daily special is Chocolate vanilla flavored coffee beans, grown and ground in the Philippines to perfection." The woman behind to cash register said to Sesshomaru in one quick breath.

"I would like a caramel frappachino, and one cinnamon roll." Sesshomaru said quickly ignoring the irritating woman who asked if he wanted anything else to go with that.

"Your total comes to be $7.54, thank you for coming to Starbucks, come again soon!"

Sesshomaru sat down at a table in a corner of the café, so that he was totally isolated from everyone, and began to immerse himself in the wonders of the caramel frappachino, and didn't even notice when someone joined him at his table.

"Hello Sesshomaru, I see that you still like those frappachinos." Kagura said as she sipped her grande sized latte, holding a blueberry scone in her other hand.

"What are you doing here talking to me you whore?" Sesshomaru said as the happiness brought to him by his frappachino abruptly left him when his cheating ex-girlfriend began to talk to him.

"To apologize, you jerk."

"What is there to apologize for you broke up with me so you could openly sleep with Naraku, and now that he has declared bankruptcy, you want to apologize to me in hopes that I will take you back with open arms?" Sesshomaru spat out trying to control his anger.

"Why do you always assume the worst in people?" Kagura yelled at him, receiving the attention of everyone in Starbucks.

"Stop screaming wench, I assume the worst in people because people I think I can love and trust stab me in the back." Sesshomaru said wishing that he had some alcohol right about now.

"I was foolish, I wasn't thinking properly, can't we just go back to way things were before Sesshy darling?" Kagura asked, making sure that her cleavage was beautifully displayed.

"At east we agree on one thing." Sesshomaru muttered just loud enough for Kagura to hear him.

"Yes! I knew you would forgive me, now what restaurant…" Kagura was saying before Sesshomaru cut her off.

"I am not getting back together with you whore."

"But you just said…"

"That I agreed with you." Sesshomaru said smirking; he loved playing mind games with idiots.

"So doesn't that mean that we are back together? Now stop being so stubborn and where are we going to…." Kagura was saying when Sesshomaru interrupted her once again.

"No, I agreed with you in the sense that you were foolish and weren't thinking clearly, I have no intention in getting back together with a backstabbing bitch such as yourself." Sesshomaru said.

Kagura's face grew bright red and she ran out of Starbucks with her latte and scone in hand, leaving Sesshomaru to his frappachino.

'Damn it, I thought that he would just take me back, now what the hell am I supposed to do, I ran through Naraku's money in a matter of weeks, I guess that I will just have to keep getting closer to Sesshomaru, just enough so that he will change his will back to the way it was before, and then I will be set for life.' Kagura thought as she walked back to the hotel.

'I can't believe the nerve of her, she just walks out of my life to sleep with someone else, and then as soon as she tires of them, she comes crawling back to me, what the hell goes through her head? When she tried to seduce me back by flashing her cleavage it made me realize how, I don't care for her anymore, and besides, that Higurashi woman, Kagome, has a far better body than her.' Sesshomaru thought a brief flash of shock flashed on his face as he realized what he had thought.

'Where did that thoughts come from? I mean, she does have a better body, but I only noticed that because I am a judge for the contest, that is the only reason that I am thinking about her gorgeous body.' He was so deep in this argument in his head that he didn't notice that luscious body he was thinking about appear right in front of him and sit down with a caramel frappachino and a cinnamon roll in hand.

"Umm... Mr. Tashio?" Kagome nervously said hoping that she hadn't caught him at a bad time.

"Please call me Sesshomaru, Ms. Higurashi, what do you want?" He said taking note with approval at her choice in drink and food, as well as her simple outfit, a pair of light blue faded jeans, that fit her legs and ass perfectly, a pair of black Chucks, and a camouflage t-shirt that had a monkey on it that said 'Major Attitude'.

Kagome smirked at this, noticing that they had bought the exact same food and drink, and of course noticing Sesshomaru's outfit, of a simple white muscle t-shirt, and a pair of black sweatpants that showed off his beautiful ass.

"Fine, but only if you call me Kagome, otherwise I feel like an old lady."

"Anyway Kagome," Sesshomaru said with an emphasis on her name, enjoying the slight blush that crossed her face when he did so, "What did you come here to talk about?"

"To thank you."

"Why, you only made it to the top twelve thanks to your talent, so why are you thanking me?"

"Because without you I wouldn't have made it this far, that's why." Kagome said getting frustrated, and running a hand through her wavy hair.

"Explain yourself." Sesshomaru snapped getting thoroughly irritated with Kagome.

"At the auditions, when I was about to walk out, and refuse the chance to go to Hokkaido, you stopped me, you said that you thought that I had enough talent to succeed in this contest, and that my friends wouldn't expect for me to go to Hokkaido if I got accepted, so thank you, without you I wouldn't be here right now." Kagome said standing up and bowing in respect as she turned to go.

"Wait."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there are no other open tables, and one should sit down to enjoy a caramel frappachino and cinnamon roll." Sesshomaru said delicately ripping off a piece of his cinnamon roll, and putting it in his mouth, accidentally getting a piece of icing on the corner of his lips.

'Damn I want to kiss him' Kagome thought that mentally slapped herself for the traitorous thought of hers as she sat down opposite Sesshomaru and licked off some of the caramel that was on top of her frappachino causing Sesshomaru to wonder what it would be like to kiss her, to caress her tongue with his own before he promptly kicked himself to get the thought of that out of his head.

"Thank you again then."

"You're welcome, I suppose." Sesshomaru said as they continued to eat and drink in a comfortable silence.

Back at the hotel Inu-yasha was forced to get up from watching the Simpsons, just as Lisa got shrunk down into the world that she had created from her tooth, thanks to a knock on his hotel door.

"Hello? Kikyo Myona? What the hell are you doing here, and dressed in a bikini?" Inu-yasha asked confused, which was his normal state of mind.

"I wanted to thank you properly for allowing me to be in the top 12." Kikyo said starting to undress, in order to seduce him, to ensure her success.

"We really shouldn't do…" Inu-yasha was interrupted by Kikyo's lips being pressed against his own and kissing him passionately while pushing him into his hotel room and onto his bed, while closing the door, and undressing both of them. (You all know what they are going to do, and I kind of want to keep it rated T for now at least.)

Promptly at four o'clock, everyone on the top 12, Sesshomaru, Inu-yasha, Sango and Miroku, were all gathered in room 178 to hear why they all had to have a meeting.

"Why are we here when I could be with my boyfriend?" Jakotsuu asked as he licked his lips with all the thoughts of the things he and Bankotsu could do together.

"Well, we all wanted to congratulate you for managing to make it this far in the competition, but from this point on, many of you will have to do a lot better in order to succeed, we are looking for a person who can sing a variety of songs, dance, has a commanding presence, and a good personality." Sango said as she smoothed the bottom of her velvet skirt down.

"Unfortunately, from here on out, none of the judges can eliminate you, the viewers will call in and vote for their favorite or favorites (I will use your reviews to help me decide who gets eliminated! So review!)" Sesshomaru said coldly.

"And the point of this was what?" Duo asked while tossing his long braid behind him.

"To tell you when the live performance is, and what type of music you have to sing." Sango answered quickly before Sesshomaru could snap at him.

"You will all have four days to memorize and perfect the song of your choice, don't forget that in three days we will have a dress rehearsal with the musicians though!" Miroku chirped.

"WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO WE HAVE TO SING?" The top 12 contestants yelled simultaneously scaring the crap out of Sango, Miroku, and Inu-yasha.

"You will be singing 70's disco music!" Miroku said quickly so no one would hurt him.

"How will we know what songs we can sing?" Kagome asked.

"A folder of available music has already been delivered to your new rooms, and no one's folder has the same music as anyone else." Sesshomaru said kindly to her, much to everyone's surprise.

"What do you mean, 'new rooms'?" Kagura asked once what Sesshomaru said had soaked into her tiny little brain.

"Everyone has their own room, to ensure that there will be no sabotage, or cheating." Inu-yasha snapped while getting out his handy flask of vodka and taking a long swig from it.

"Is that all? Good, tomorrow, each one of you have a meeting with the three of us to tell us what song you have chosen, so that we can approve it, and get the appropriate musicians for you, now here are your new keys, so you had better all get going to find a song to sing!" Sango said handing out room keys to everyone as they left the room.
