Chapter Three: Bitchin' Party

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome jumped around her apartment, hyper on the crazy amount of coffee, mountain dew, and candy she'd consumed during the past few hours. She was steadily going crazy with the planning of the party. She had sent invatations out to all the big stars and the other people on the 'in' list. She'd booked caterers, waiters, busboys, dishwashers, coat taking people, valets, a decorator for the hall and yet she still had so much to do. Like find a suitable dress. And a date. She groaned aloud at the thought of a date.

She finished the budget report and looked at the clock. Half an hour until she had to be at work! Kagome ran to shower and pulled on black dress slacks, a black studded belt, a lilac tank top and a black blazer. She pulled on her black skateboarding shoes and grabbed her bag along with all the papers she needed. Today was the day she would be babysitting Rin. Kagome ran to work as fast as she could, her hair still wet and a certain scar on her wrist exposed for she had forgotten a bracelet or anything else to conceal the mark.

Panting heavily, she arrived at work and clocked in a second before she would've been late. Kagome walked up to Miroku's office, her wet hair clinging to her forehead. She knocked. "Come in." came Miroku's clearly hung-over voice. Kagome entered. "Well well, someone was partying last night while I stayed up and finished the plans." she said in a hoarse voice. Miroku looked up, purple bags around his violet eyes. "Hey, are you getting sick?" he asked. Kagome sunk into a chair. "Dunno. I really haven't stopped to think about myself or to slow down. I've been focusing on work and other things." she said, clearing her throat. Miroku sighed. "Well, you can't have the day off, but you can take Rin to the mall or something. She needs a dress for the party and so do you. I've decided that I will allow you to charge yourself a dress and all the accerories to the business account seeing as you've managed to pull this together so quickly. Now, do you have a date?" Miroku asked.

"Nope." Kagome replied. Miroku smiled. "Good, then would you mind coming with me, just as friends? I haven't had time to find anyone." "Miroku...I don't think that's such a good idea. Listen, if I can find you someone to go with, promise me that you'll let me go without an escort?" He stared at her for a moment, then sighed. "It's not fair. Fine." he said dejectedly. Kagome smiled. "Thanks Miroku."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Oh please Sango? I really don't want to have to go through the trama of having to date someone this soon! I couldn't bear it! You have to go with my boss. He's really a sweetie." Kagome said for lack of better words. Sango gave her a dead pan look and returned to flipping through racks and racks of children's dresses for a potenial one for Rin. They were in one of the best clothing stores for children. Rin giggled. "Oh come on Miss. Sangoo, Mr. Miroku is nice. You should go with him. Rin is going with Daddy. Kagome, who are you going with?" she asked. "Oh, I'm not going with anyone. I'm going alone." she said.

They found a few dresses for Rin, charged them to the company card and left the store to go find a dress for Kagome. They stopped in a store and looked around. Then she saw it. It was a knee length black silk dress with a belled out skirt. Black lace was the underskirt. It was a sleeveless dress and there was a button at the neck, then a slit in the fabric that showed off some cleavage. There was a lace jacket that went over it and there were black fishnet stockings and black stilettos with ribbons that would tie up to the middle of her calves. "That one is made for you Kagome." Sango gasped. Rin smiled and nodded eagarly.

The two made Kagome try it on. She looked amazing in it with her dark hair and moonlight pale skin. The shopkeepers exchanged knowing glances and found the perfect black earrings to go along with it as well as a silver and black ring and a black cross necklace. Kagome gaped at herself in the mirror. She looked like one of the vampires Anne Rice's books. Kagome looked at the price tag and gulped. "I can't spend this kind of money!" she squealed. Sango narrowed her eyes. "Oh yes you are or else you have to go with your own darned boss to this party." "He'll murder me!" Kagome cried, sitting delacately on a window seat. Sango pulled out her cellphone. "Call him and ask him." she demanded. Kagome cringed and reluctantly took the phone.

Miroku answered. "What?" "Hi Miroku. Er...I've gotten my friend to agree, but you see..." Kagome began. Sango snatched the phone from her friend. "I told Kagome that she has to get a dress that looks stunning on her, but she says she can't because you'll murder her." "Why would I do that? How much is the dress?" "I dunno, like ten grand." "TEN GRAND! NO WAY!" Miroku shouted. "Fine, then I guess I won't be going with you and neither will Kagome because I won't let her go in anything else." Sango threatened. "Damn. Where are you three? We'll come down there to see if Kagome's dress is worth it." Sango grinned and gave the location.

A make-up artist and a hairstylist whom had been admiring from afar rushed in and offered to help Kagome. They started and finished a few moments before the men arrived. The salespeople and the handy hairstylist and make-up artist stood in a row next to Sango and Rin. They were all smiling at Kagome. "You look great." Sango cried. Kagome's lips were a lush red as were her nails and her make up was white and silverey. Her eyes were framed in black and her hair flowed down her back, glossy and angled over an eye. She was admiring herself in the mirror when the door binged open and Miroku, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Koga, Hinten, Manten and Janstanou came in.

"Alright, where is Kagome?" Miroku asked. Kagome turned around from the mirror. "What?" she asked. All eyes turned to her and she couldn't help but blush. Inuyasha gaped at her and moved forward. "You look amazing. Listen Kagome, if you need a date to this party, I'd be more than happy to take you." he said. Kagome turned to him with an icy glare. "I don't need a date. I'm going alone." she declared, shooting Inuyasha down. He visibly looked mortifyied. "You can have the dress as you hooked me up with such a fair beauty." Miroku said, eyeing Sango with lustful eyes.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Kagome held her dress close and the bag containing her accesories. She also had appointments to get her hair and make-up done by the two women whom had helped her earlier. Kagome was walking alone in the large group. Sesshomaru and Rin were talking, Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha and Koga and the three others were chatting. They arrived at the work building. Everyone left except Kagome and Sesshomaru. Rin had gone upstairs with Inuyasha. "Uh...I'm sorry I yelled at you the other day Mr. Taisho. I shouldn't have done that." Kagome spoke softly. "Do not worry about it Miss Higurashi. I realize that it may have not been my place to talk to you about such things. Now about this party. Why do you not have a date?" he asked, looking down at her. "Uh...I don't know honestly." she replied, smiling up at him.

Sesshomaru's heart started to beat faster. "Well, certainly you would feel silly going alone?" he inquired. Kagome shrugged. "Probably. But, it's something I have to get used to." she said, looking very sad. Sesshomaru felt something disturbingly new. Pity and a mixture of something else...something he could quite place. "Uh, Well, then if you have no one to go with you, I would be willing to accompany you." he said. Kagome looked up surprised. "But what about Rin? She said you were taking her." "Yes, well I don't think that Rin, being my daughter can be my date. So Kagome, what do you say?" he asked, putting his hands in his pockets as if he couldn't care one way or the other. Kagome bit her lip uncertainly. "Urm...ok." she stammered. He nodded. "I'll pick you up at your apartment at six. Have a good night Kagome." he said, walking into the building.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The week passed slowly for Kagome, but on the day of the party, she'd never been more nervous. She'd checked every aspect of the party at least a hundred times over and had watched everything like a hawk. Now she was running to get her hair and make-up done by Kagura and Kanna, the hair stylist and make-up artist. They smiled when she came in. "Hello there." they greeted. Once Kagome was near half-way done and they'd talked about little things Kagura suddenly asked. "So have you found a date?" she asked. "Er...not really. He's more of an escort. We just work together." Kagome explained.

When her hair and make-up were done she hurried home and got dressed. She looked amazing. Kagome pulled on a black trench coat as it was getting chilly. She did last minute touch-ups on everything, making sure she looked perfect. There was a knock on her door and she answered it. Rin catapulted herself on Kagome. "Hi!" she cried brightly. Kagome smiled down at him and squatted next to her. "Hi Rin. How are you doing?" "Fine. Rin was so excited when she found out that Kagome was coming!" she grinned, hugging Kagome tightly. Sesshomaru appeared at the door and Kagome, if she had not been holding onto Rin would've fainted dead away. His long silver hair was silky looking and held at the nape of his neck in a black ribbon. He wore black slacks, black shiny shoes, a white button up shirt and a black blazer. He looked hot. Kagome stood and smiled. "Hi." she said, unable to say anything else. He smirked. "Hello Kagome. You look very nice."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The ride to the Hilton was silent except for Rin's chattering. She talked continuosly and about absolutely nothing and everthing. The limo stopped and Sesshomaru picked Rin up once they were at the curb at the begining of the red carpet. He held Rin with this left arm and held Kagome's hand with his right. Kagome had taken off her jacket in the limo, so now she looked like a goddess once more. They walked down the red carpet, Sesshomaru occasionally stopping for pictures. Once they made it inside Rin said goodbye and went to go play with her friends. "I thought Rin was your date." Kagome smiled. Sesshomaru swooped her into his arms. "No, you are." he said. Kagome blushed. A spot light hit them as Sesshomaru was leaning down to kiss her. "Ladies and Gentleman, Sesshomaru Taisho and his girlfriend." came Miroku's voice over the loudspeakers. Kagome blushed even redder. Flipping great. Sesshomaru brushed it off and placed a hand on Kagome's back and made her walk forward. They entered the main room and she was immeadately pushed aside by other famous women and women who liked him. Kagome turned away, trying to kill the feelings that she had. Seeing her boss and famous play-boy, Sesshomaru surrounded by girls shouldn't make her angry, upset or even jealous. He was only taking her on this date out of pity. Kagome slipped away to go find Sango and kill Miroku.

She approached Miroku. "Hello." she growled. He gulped. "Er...I..uh, am sorry?" he stammered. "You better be. God Miroku, you can be such an idiot sometimes. You just better not go and do anything to Sango tonight like break her heart or else I'll break you in half you lecherous pig." she fumed, turning on her heel and bumping into a tall black haired man. She stumbled and he caught her. His crimson eyes were dark and quite creepy. A small smiled appeared on his pale lips. "Oh! I'm sorry!" Kagome said. "Oh don't be. Are you Kagome Higurashi by chance?" he inquired. Kagome nodded and he kissed her hand. "It is a pleasure to meet the woman whom was able to put all of this together in just a week. I give you my compliments to you. May I also say you look very stunning in your dress." he said in an oily voice. "Oh it was nothing really. It's just my job, and thank you." she replied. He smirked at her. "Well Miss. Kagome Higurashi are we going to stand here all night or are you going to dance with me?" he asked. Kagome wanted to say no. She itched to get away from this creepy dude, but when she looked over to Sesshomaru she saw him busy with his hoard of women. Miroku and Sango were flirting, the other band members were all drunk or busy with a lady and Inuyasha and Koga were arguing. Kagome smiled falsely. "Of course." she said. The man placed a hand on her lower back and took one of her other hands. Kagome surpressed a shutter. "By the way, I never got your name." she said. "My name is Naraku Onigumo." he said.

Kagome really felt uncomfortable as this Naraku man's hand slid increasingly close to her bottom. Suddenly Kagome sneezed, or fake sneezed, really. "Oh my, pardon me Naraku, I must be getting a cold, excuse me, I need to powder my nose." she said sweetly. Kagome quickly made her way across the room and into the bathroom. She put on some new lipstick and fixed her dress. Kagome let out a long sigh. Damn that Sesshomaru Taisho. Quickly she managed to slip back into the room unnoticed. She looked around for Naraku, but saw no sign of him. "Oh thank God." she mumbled, walking to find a glass of chamange and to slip away from the party to go watch the stars and moon come out. As she slipped out on the terrace she heard another of her favorite songs float from the speakers. The artist was Dido and it was 'Thankyou'. A smile played at her lips as the words flowed into her mind.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Sesshomaru had been looking for Kagome ever since that creep Naraku had danced with her, but he had yet to find her. He sighed and decided to go out on the terrace where his stupid groupies wouldn't bother him. He opened the door and saw Kagome sitting alone, a drink in her hand and her legs swinging absentmindly, her feet skimming the concret. He silently sat next to her and brought his mouth close to her ear. "You'll catch your death out here Kagome." he said. Kagome jumped. "Oh! I didn't even hear you. Uh, I know, but the party is boring and there's this creepy guy named Naraku..." she said, setting her wine glass down on the bench in her place and walking to the iron rail. Sesshomaru came up behind her. "Kagome, there's something I've been wanting to do since we got here tonight." he said, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder, making her small body rack with shivers. She turned to him and gazed up in his beautiful amber orbs. "What's that Sesshomaru?" she asked. Sesshomaru lowered his lips to hers and kissed her.
