Kagome slipped into the kimono as slowly as possible, trying to buy time. She shifted her eyes back and forth towards the servants. They each had a long, sleek dagger that was neatly placed neatly on their laps as they sat and watched.

"You're very lucky." One of them startled her as they spoke. She turned to look at the pale-faced old woman sitting by the door. Her eyes sagged and she looked as though she was tired and her untidy gray hair ran down her shoulders and almost to her knees. "Master Sekushi always treats his women with kindness. He's very wealthy too."

"Just how many women does he have?" Kagome suddenly felt even more disgusted then before.

"None."

"But…?" She looked at the old woman.

"If they defy him, he'll kill them or eat them." Kagome made a slight, unidentifiable sound like a cross between a hiccup and a gulp.

"You are ready?" One of the other servants stood up. This one was younger, but still pale and skinny. She had red hair that was tied semi-neatly in a bun.

"Yes…" Kagome looked down. Please… PLEASE hurry you guys!

Meanwhile, the others were walking just below the palace that was too high up to simply climb.

"Oh… I feel so horrible. I hope Kagome is okay…" Sango had a concerned look on her face.

"Hmm…." InuYasha looked down as though he was contemplating something.

"What if we had me go back in there to distract him again?" Sango said drastically.

"No." Miroku looked at both of them. "Master Mushin told me of this demon. He's been alive for a long time, hunting woman, taking them hostage. Any woman that's gotten away and tried to return was killed there on the spot. Any woman that defies him in his quarters gets eaten or sent to a death by means of this cliff. Sango can't…"

"Then I have another plan…" InuYasha smiled and glared slightly towards Miroku.

Kagome stumbled on the long dress as she walked up to the rooftop, again, slowly. I wonder if Sango is okay… there were so many things on her mind that she was unaware that she'd reached the top. Shimmering white flowers were placed neatly around the edge of the enormous rooftop and pink sakura pedals littered the ground. Kagome was in awe at how beautiful it was.

"Come to me my dear. And we shall be wed." He smiled and Kagome could just see the dirty things he had planned for her in his eyes. She began to step forward in a pace that even Buyo could beat. The pedals clung to her dress as she walked and she looked around frantically, almost praying that by some miracle something would happen. Sure enough…

"Master! Master! There are two women here!" The red haired servant from earlier stumbled upon the scene panting. The woman looked half disgusted as she said it.

"Well, do not hesitate, bring them up here." He demanded. The woman turned and ran down the marble staircase. Kagome's heart pounded as this was buying her so much time. Moments later, the servant reappeared with two woman. They were both wearing exceedingly long kimonos and covered their faces with large fans.

One of them had a purple kimono that was rapped around her chest and tied in a bow in the back. It ran down far past her feet and dragged a couple of inches. Her hair was in a really small ponytail that was almost familiar.

The other had long silver hair that was up in a ponytail. She also had a white veil that covered the top of her head. She was wearing a white kimono that was tied with a green apron-like skirt. Kagome recognized it as Sango's and was beginning to catch on.

"What are your names, m'ladies?" Sekushi seemed not to notice how abruptly unfeminine like they were.

"I'm…" the first one cleared her throat. "I'm Miryoku. And this is my sister, Inshu." Kagome's eyes swelled with tears and her gut hurt from holding in the laughter. I've been saved before in weird ways, but never like this…she snickered under her breath. She looked behind them only to see Sango in the doorway. Sekushi was preoccupied with Miroku and InuYasha so Kagome slid towards her.

InuYasha let out what he believed to be a shrill, girl-like giggle that became scary to the girls rather then make them want to laugh. InuYasha looked out of the corner of his eye to make sure that Kagome and Sango were safely down the staircase. Sekushi had a grim smile on his face.

"Well… well… well…" He glared deeply at Miroku and InuYasha. "To think that MEN would break my gourd parading around as filthy women.

Miroku turned to InuYasha. "Wow! He saw through our disguises!" He said sarcastically under his breath. They both snapped the fans closed and tossed them to the side.

"Prepare to die, bastard." InuYasha growled at him.

"Uhm, InuYasha…" Miroku looked at him. "We can't fight in these clothes…" There was a long moment of silence as Sekushi stomped closer. His eyes burned with rage and InuYasha got it together.

"Well… uhm… nice tah meet you… uhm… and… uh…"

"RUN!" Miroku turned, lifted the his "kimono" and trotted gracefully down the stairs. At the bottom, where the exit was, were Sango in just her pink kimono and Kagome still in the white wedding dress. There was one problem, however. All of the kitchen servents and cleaning maids stood in between the door and the girls.

"Master wants a woman!"

"Yeah! And master gets what he wants!"

Chattered filled the room as they stepped closer with weapons such as the same daggers from before to harvesting tools and pitchforks.

"Uh… oh…" Kagome said in a panicky voice. "What do we do now?"

"We… uhm… RUN!" They both turned and sprinted back up the stairs until they ran into InuYasha and Miroku. Together, the four of them stumbled and rolled back to the bottom.

There was also a loud slap when Miroku "accidentally" landed with his face buried in Sango's chest.

"IS THIS REALLY THE TIME?!" She shrieked. Kagome was sitting on top of InuYasha's back, her eyes looking up at Sekushi's. The servants continued closer and closer. Weaponless and wearing the wrong clothes for fighting, Kagome and the other's struggled amongst themselves to pry loose, but time was running out…
