Snapshots of Life

Chapter 5: Revenge and Loose Ends

"Alright, alright cheers everybody! Cheers to this limo Rin got us," Sango shouted over the music putting her hand on the dial turning it down much to the eighteen year old drivers disdain.

"Yeah, and toast to Sango for these sexy clothes!" Rin shouted not aware that the music was down, or caring. She clanged her glass against Sango's loudly a smile taking over her face. The ginger ale sloshed out the side a bit missing Rin's clothes by mere centimeters.

"I got one, I got one! Cheers to not letting assholes stop us from having a kick ass time!" Kagome winked to Sakiya who was busy refilling her glass because she had already drunk all of her ginger ale before Rin had gotten to her toast.

Her friends looked at her expectantly their glasses in the air. She thought for a minute her hand in limbo while she pondered the best thing to catch all her feelings in one sentence. Without them she wouldn't even be here she'd be at home watching old movies while they were in a stretch limo on their way to the social event of the year.

"Cheers to having the best friends in the world that won't take no as an answer." There glasses clanged for one final timebefore the radio was turned up to full blast and Rin screamed over the music "I love this song!" and began singing the first verse with Sango and Sakiya screaming in the back ground as amateur hype women backing her up with every word she sang.

Kagome smiled looking at her friends, she had almost missed this. Though she was happy to be here and on the way to the Anonymous Runway despite the circumstances she had been through a lot to get here…

Flashback: 2 Weeks Ago

Kagome glared miserably at Rin as she smacked her hand again for the fifth time today with a spoon and she just couldn't take it anymore.

"Yeah I know Hisho, but he's a little hard to keep tabs on. To be such a well known socialite Sesshomaru isn't very friendly. I've asked all around and no one really knows him…But how am I supposed to interview someone I can't find? I have to go I'm in an important meeting, bye!" She hung up the phone quickly before her boss could get in another word. She doubted she'd ever interview who ever this Sesshomaru guy was. How could someone be so popular yet excluded from the world so perfectly? It made her inside reporter scream for answers but you couldn't get answers where there weren't any.

"You know Rin; normally people eat when they go to a restaurant! She can't show me her surprise if I'm dead from starvation!" she shouted as loud as she could without drawing attention to the table. Rin turned toward Kagome the spoon still in her hand. Despite her hushed anger Rin held to her promise she made to herself to keep the food safe from Kagome.

"I told you that we have to wait for Sakiya and her surprise to get here before you can get your greedy little hands into the food. She should be here soon and I'm sure you won't die from a day without breakfast." Rin glared back securing the appetizers close to her while Kagome angrily sucked on her Suicide (Every soda known to man in one cup) and Sango watched amused at Kagome's red hand where Rin had continuously rapped her now swollen knuckles. Kagome had a right to be angry she hadn't eaten all day and Rin was the only thing between her and a full stomach. Sakiya had been her friend for almost three weeks now and their friendship was something she had quickly begun to cherish but if she did not hurry up so that Kagome could get something to eat…

Sango dragged her chair noisily and pulled it up next to Rin grinning slightly at her now fidgeting friend.

"Riiinnn," She dragged her name out in a taunting manner "What exactly is this surprise?" she asked putting an arm around her shoulders and grinning as Rin began to sweat. Kagome leaned in against Rin's other side also grinning catching on to Sango's plan.

"G---guys I promised Sakiya that I wouldn't tell you. I uh…she… Sango why are you looking at me like that?" She asked as Kagome grabbed her arm and Sango grabbed the other one. O.O

"Wha---what are you doing! St—hahahahahaha! Sango, Kagome qu—hahahahahaha!" Rin's stomach began to cramp as her supposedly two best friends probed her for answers through their fingers.

"Quit? You want us to quit? I'm afraid we can't do that Rin. If you want us to quit you know what you have to do." Sango said as Rin futilely tried to keep her giggles inside before bursting into another fit of laugher.

" No…I can't hahaha…I promised Sakiya I wouldn't…hahahahahaha!" Her laughter tripled and she could feel her secret in her mouth somewhere around all her laughter.

"O.K! She's bringing---" Kagome and Sango smirked to each other that is until they heard the amused voice of Sakiya.

"Sakiya hi!" They released Rin smiling.

"Hi guys… You two wouldn't be trying to pry my surprise out of Rin would you?"

"Of course not!" They laughed nervously. Sakiya sat grinning as she said "Good." Kagome quickly shoveled food on to her plate accepting a refill for her drink when a waiter came back with all their drinks in separate pitchers.

"Drink Ma'am?" the waiter asked enchanted by the table full of pretty girls.

"Yes, strawberry lemonade…please." She flashed a smile tacking on the please just because she felt good today. He quickly left a blush creeping over his cheeks. She shrugged looking after him and turned to her friends.

"So what's the surprise?" Sango asked anxiously. It must be big if Rin could keep it in as long as she did.

"I hope you don't have any plans Saturday because I got us tickets to the biggest fashion event of the year!" Sango dropped a hot wing on the floor her mouth hanging open as she leaned across the table. Her eyes were filled with excitement and though she had a feeling that she knew what event Sakiya was talking about she needed to hear it out loud for the full effect of total happiness to claim her.

"What?"

"I got us tickets to the Anonymous Runway!" Every year a mysterious rich socialite that was so high up on the social ladder the air is thin would throw a spectacular fashion show, then once all the festivities are over the person reveals themselves on stage and then is worshiped for throwing the fashion show of the year. It would feature clothes that would shape all of next year's fashions and would be raved about in every magazine and talk show known to man. It was an upcoming designers dream. The fashion show was always so big that people would talk about it sometimes until the next one. Anybody who was anybody got tickets courtesy of the socialite himself or bought them which was no easy feat. Sango had always wanted to go but she wasn't exactly the most popular designer and had no interest in spending her life savings and her brother's college fund just to pay for a ticket.

"How did you get tickets?" She whispered in growing excitement reaching her hand out then shrinking it back afraid that if she touched the ticket it would disappear. Sakiya put the ticket in Sango's hand watching with growing amusement as she mouthed "For me?" Sakiya nodded.

"So how did you get tickets?" Kagome asked through a mouth full of food.

"Before I met you guys I had been hired by Mr. Anonymous himself to design the set of the fashion show. Six month's of designing and long merciless hours to meet the dead line and I got these in the mail, 2 tickets to the infamous Anonymous Runway!"

"Wow you got to design it? I wish I could have helped." Sango pawed her ticket again.

"I wish you could have helped too, it was hell trying to put it all together." Rin rambled around in her purse pulling out a ticket of her own and waved it in front of Sango her face pulled into a goofy smile.

"I got one too! Hisho pulled some strings and ta da!" Kagome was beginning to feel nervous. So far she had only counted three tickets and unless Rin had another ticket stashed somewhere she would be at home the night of the show alone while all of her friends are out at the social event of the year. She swallowed the food in her mouth suddenly loosing her appetite.

"Hey Rin? You wouldn't happen to have an extra ticket would you?" Kagome said hope filling her voice.

"No." She looked at Sakiya nervously.

"That's alright it doesn't really matter I mean you two really are the one's that should go."

"I could stay with you." Sango said her face downtrodden.

"No it's okay it would be a good opportunity for you---"

"Kagome." Rin interrupted holding up a hand.

"Rin I've made up my mind, really you should go. You will have to right an article on it so you guys just go." She said already feeling the affects of her not being able to go and being lonely.

"Are you done?" Sakiya asked a little past frustrated but she let it roll off her back because of what was going to happen. She pulled another ticket out taking a deep breath and handing Kagome the ticket.

"Yay!" she squealed taking the ticket without hesitation. She wouldn't be squealing for long.

"Uhh, there's sort of a catch."

"I don't care! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She hugged her kissing the ticket.

"Don't thank me."

"But you got me this tic---"

"Actually, that's the catch."

"What do you mean?" She said slowly her suspicion growing. Sakiya coughed rubbing the back of her head.

"Well, you see Inuyasha," Kagome's face scrunched into a scowl she drummed her fingers on the table annoyed at the mention of his name. "Uh, Inuyasha and I have been hanging out a lot now that I have his number again and---"She paused at Kagome's growl and the slow but steady twitch of her eye.

"Anyways, I told him about our little dilemma and he being a model donated a spare ticket that he had---"

"Oh that was nice of him." Her voice wavered in slight anger as she suspected that wasn't all Sakiya had to tell her. Sakiya laughed nervously looking for all the exits just incase she had to make a hasty get away.

"That's not it. In order to get the ticket, hehe, and here's where the catch comes in, he sort of said that you would have to…" she took a deep breath choosing not to look at Kagome's face "You will have to go with him as his date---"

"What? No fucking way!" she shouts standing up the chair flying noisily out from under her. She wasn't even fazed by the many heads that flicked towards her and eavesdroppers who had stopped eating to watch the "show". Taking the ticket she ripped it up in little pieces getting a horrified look from Sango who felt a little piece of her die as soon as she heard the first rip.

"I'd sooner eat my own heart than go on a date with that jerk!" she shouted. Rin looks at Sakiya then mouths 'I told you so.'

"Kagome just chill, okay?"

"No I won't chill I can't believe you sold me into a date with him!" She said glaring down angrily at Sakiya.

"I mean he's the biggest ass I've met in my life I'd rather,"

"Yes I know eat your own heart! Can you please just hear me out? Please?" She asked relieved when Kagome sat down crossing her arms ready to attack.

"Thank you. I know he is a jerk but can't you get past that for one night? I mean look what you're giving up: The biggest event of the year, free food, famous people, It'll be so much fun, plus you can take all the pictures you want I got you a pass, and I know you're not going to pass up a chance to gloat to Kikyo; she defiantly didn't get tickets." That made Kagome smile. She'd love to shove this in Kikyo's face especially since every year Kikyo just about brakes her back trying to get into the Anonymous Runway.

"Yeah and I will need pictures for my article how bout it?" Rin asked hopeful.

"Please, Kagome I need to have my best friend there with me so I can tell you how much better my designs are than the ones on the stage, even though I can't hold a candle to them!" Kagome smiled once Sango gave her a friendly little push with her shoulder.

"Besides, you're riding with us on the way over and Inuyasha will be on stage modeling so it won't be like a real date." If the Kikyo thing didn't get her this defiantly did. She smiled brightly and said "What should I wear?" They all praised her telling her how she wouldn't regret it and they were gong to have the time of their life.

"My designs of course!" Her feeling of happiness quickly died when she remembered she had torn up the ticket.

"Oh, no guys I---I tore the ticket up! How could I be so stupid I---" Sakiya pulled another ticket from her pocket smirking and set it on the table.

"He said we would need insurance."

End Flashback

"All my girls get your hair fixed, and your nails done put your hands up and say okay, (okay), okay, (okay), okay, (okay) ,okay, (okay) ...u got a drink, get another one make him pay for it...put it in the air and say okay, (okay), okay, (okay), okay, (okay), okay, (okay)…" Sango bounced her body to the beat along with Rin who if bigger would have had the limo on flats by now. Sakiya held her drink in the air balancing it against her wild dance moves waiting for the next verse she nudged Kagome out of her daydream while they all sang back up setting the stage for Kagome's solo. Kagome began dancing waiting for Nivea's voice to accompany her.

"Your hands all on my booty, two stepping in my Gucci, they're like go girl (go girl) go girl (go girl), go girl, (go girl) u like the way I shake it, you wanna see me naked, it could be your night, your night...your niiighhtt." Kagome sang her face caught up in a big smile. She giggled along with her two friends watching Rin in her impression of Lil' John in the club as she threw her small hands in the air holding the ginger ale bottle like a bottle of Pimp Juice and began bobbing up and down screaming "Okay! Okay! What! Okay! Yeah, Yeah! What!" (Can you imagine Rin doing that on top of Ah Un while Jaken and Sesshomaru watch? Lol!)

They were laughing so hard they barely noticed that the limo had stopped moving and they had made it to their destination; Club Rendezvous, one of the most expensive and well known clubs in Japan. Mr. Anonymous must have really been someone important to be able to reserve the whole club for the fashion show not to mention the half a year the club was out of business for the preparation of the whole thing. It was only natural he picked the most popular club in Japan for the site of this year's Mr. Anonymous fashion show.

The girls waited patiently for the eighteen year old driver, Dave, to open the door on which he had insisted he open. For some reason he was convinced that they were models. Kagome couldn't really blame him. Sango had pulled out her best designs for them in hopes that someone would pick up her genius and invest in her dream and Sakiya had helped her with coordinating the make-up and hair with the fashion. She had made sure to make all their outfits diverse to show off all her talents.

Sango's pink heels that laced up her legs tapped annoyed against the carpeted floor of the limo. Her pink and green skirt was lacey and layered unevenly giving her skirt the affect that it was shorter in some places and longer in others. It fluttered a little past her thigh beautifully blending with her skin and straddling her curves. Her pink and green top tied around her neck and exposed her back and arms while remaining classy enough to be considered tasteful. Sakiya being an experienced body make-up and hair artist came with the territory. She applied light green and pink eye shadow around the tops and corners of Sango's eyes getting the desired affect of a real model. Taking her long thick brown hair she softly curled it into spirals and let it showering her bare back.

For Sakiya, Sango pulled out a tan poncho made from knit that hung off one shoulder exposing her right shoulder and a brown strap. The poncho stopped a little ways below her breast allowing it to keep her gauzed arm covered and was placed over a one shouldered thin brown tank top that peeked out of the bottom of the mini poncho showing off half of her stomach. Her brown corduroy skirt fit snug against her hips and thighs accentuating her long tanned legs. She also wore brown knee high boots, a matching belt, brown tinted sunglasses, and a tan newspaper boy hat to match her poncho. Sakiya wore her hair in thick bun that peered out from behind the hat. Above her eyes she put a light brown eye shadow. On her lips she put a soft brown lip gloss that complimented her skin tone and made her full lips look delicious.

Rin got the honor of wearing the only dress of the four. The dress hung off the shoulders. The off the shoulder arms like the bottom half of the dress was lacey and hung loosely from her arms allowing them to breath unlike the middle where the material got tight and showed off her thin waste line and curvaceous hips. Past her thighs the dress raveled down in lacey tresses the soft pinkish orange color with blended splotches of an angry tangerine. Small embroidered flowers dotted the dress that showed her skin in the shapes of the flowers. Her heels were a clear and tied around her ankle Rin's make-up was easier; her cheeks were already slightly rosy like the pink in the dress all Sakiya had to do was apply a little tangerine above her eyes and a small amount of pink blending the colors naturally. She wore medium sized hoop earrings and lip gloss to set her look off. They blow dried her fawn hair put it up in the back and let straightened forelocks on either sides of her head ride the curve of her cheeks.

(One More)

Kagome's halter top like shirt had straps attached to the top of it (Which are on her shoulders.) and was long and fit close to her body veering to her left side. Thin lacey material connected to the bottom of the shirt extending it about another inch and a half down her leg. The shirts long sleeves connected to either sides of the halter and widened toward the ends of them like the sleeves of a kimono and hung off the shoulders. Though loose at the bottom around her fore arms the shirt was tight with two long slits on the sides showing the creamy flesh of her arm. The sleeves were more like decoration and looked as if they weren't really attached to the halter top. For pants she wore tight blue jeans. Her yellow high heels were barely visible under the jeans but were cute nonetheless. The shirt started off in a nice yellow that was pleasant enough that it didn't blind whoever looked at it then tapered off toward the end of the shirt and sleeves into an electrifying green that caught everyone's attention that looked at her. She carried a green purse with yellow stitching and wore silver chandler earrings. The corners of her eyes were yellow but toward the outsides the changed into a violent green. Her hair flared out to the sides, flipped, courtesy of Sakiya.

Kagome was the first one to get out of the limo and stare in anticipation at the famous club. She looked at the huge Rendezvous light up in red neon lights in front of her and felt her heart rate pick up in pure excitement. Why had she ever doubted coming here again? Cars littered the street and people dressed in their best clothes were lined up in a snake line just as excited as Kagome to get into the fabled club. Her friends joined her grinning and nudged her out of her stupor.

"Just think you almost missed this." Rin said smirking and linking arms with her. Sango soon joined them followed by Sakiya who placed Kagome's forgotten camera around her neck.

"Don't forget this Kagome." Sakiya said grinning "You will be the only one in there with a camera." Kagome's confused face asked for elaboration as they began walking to the long line of flashy people with tickets.

"Notice how there's no paparazzi around? I don't know who Mr. Anonymous is or how superman did it but he has managed to keep the vultures away from here so that the wonderful secrets inside can remain just that, secrets. But Rin here," Rin smiled at her part in the plot. "she has gotten you a pass to take as many pictures as you want, but you can only take six pictures of featured clothing. But other than that, it's what ever you want!"

Rin felt pride swell within her when she saw the happy smile on Kagome's face. Hugging her Kagome whispered a soft thanks to her. It must have been contagious because Sango thanked Sakiya again for what must have been the millionth time in the last two days. Kagome pulled back a grin on her face like the old Kagome's happy and mischievous.

"Ready to go show off the best clothing line in the world?" She asked making Sango's face light up.

"Of course we are. Who wouldn't when they had bodies like this to wear them on?" Rin said striking a pose with Sango. The three of them laughed linking arms again and walking to the end of the lengthy line. Even in her heels Sango could not see over the many heads in front of her so standing on her tiptoes she peered over the line.

"Damn!" she said looking at her friends. "By the time we get in there the show will be over!" She said. Every since she had gotten the ticket she had been looking forward to this, she would be damned if these people were going to make her miss anything. She'd run them all over with the limo before that happened.

"You're right." Sakiya said her eyes holding back something. She smirked as she side stepped the line and began walking motioning her friends to follow her to the front of the line. They ignored the many vicious comments coming from the line letting the people have their words, they were skipping after all. Some people didn't even say anything taking their confident demeanors as the attitudes of someone really important, and in their own way they were.

Finally making it to the front of the line they stopped just short of the velvet rope. The huge bouncer let one more person in before acknowledging their presence.

"Finally, I get to---" A woman began her ticket in hand before the bouncer stuck his hand up turning to the four girls.

"Sakiya, baby girl! Looking great as usual." She glanced at her friends smirking leaning in to kiss him on the cheek as he kissed her on the opposite one she kissed him on. The three girls huddled close to her making their presence known and earning a glare from the bouncer.

"They're with me." she said to him cutting his glare off. His glare died and smiling he hugged them all.

"Of course they're with you. Beautiful women travel together."

"It's all Sango's fault of course she is the mastermind behind these outfits." Sango blushed smiling. Doing a slight curtsy they all smirked at the huge chortle that came from the man.

"That's Rin and that's Kagome, remember their names they will be famous soon as well the lovely Sango creator of HOT LIKE HELL fashions." She shouted the name of Sango's label smirking at the people taking note. They must have been important to have skipped everyone in the line and not gotten mutilated by the bouncer.

"I will, I will. Welcome ladies to the Mr. Anonymous fashion show." Opening the velvet rope again he smiled at them happy to have such beauty in his company. Just as they began to step in the woman spoke up enraged.

"No way, no fucking way. You aren't going to let these little bitches in before you let me in. I've been in this line for 3 years. I have a fucking ticket. Do you know how hard it was to come by!" She shouted. He held his hand up again this time with more vigor and glared at the woman followed by the four other glares. Taking her ticket he ripped it up getting a gasp from her and everyone in the first half of the line.

"Who cares how hard it was to come by," he smirked "Look how easily it was lost. Never call Sakiya and her friends bitches." Broken the woman left not wanting be mobbed by the club or arrested by the officers who came out of nowhere. After the woman left the bouncer again lifted the velvet rope letting the girls in successfully this time.

Inu and Roku

A woman with a head set around her head rushed to Inuyasha with combs and brushes and makeup. She began raking the comb through his silver tresses while searching for imperfections in his wardrobe. Finally done with his unruly hair she moved her makeup baring hand for Inuyasha's face. Grabbing her hand he turned to her.

"I don't do makeup." He said staring at her terrified face.

"Bu-but Mr. Inuyasha, Mr. Anonymous has instructed that everyone wear makeup." She stuttered looking into his handsome smirk. He let her hand go throwing his head back messing up her attempts to settle his hair.

"I don't care what Mr. Anonymous has instructed besides do I really need makeup?" He smiled at her setting her face on fire. Nodding a quick no she looked for the nearest model and quickly left her face reaching unsafe temperatures.

Inuyasha's eyes danced in laughter behind his glasses as he watched Miroku's face twist in serious thought. This night would prove to be very interesting, hell amusing. This night had been planned right down to the look on Miroku's face right now. Even the models rushing by them in bikini's smaller than pocket lent to get on stage didn't catch Miroku's attention. Looking up at the roof he smirked wondered if the girl's had made it yet, too bad he was backstage or he could have investigated. Seeing Kagome would make his walk down the runway that much more enjoyable as he watched her staring hungrily at him, it made him hot just thinking about it. Turning to Miroku he smiled trickery lying dormant in his mind.

"What's wrong Miroku?" He asked knowing exactly what was wrong with him. Sango was here and Miroku wanted to ask her out so bad it hurt but what happened at Rin's job kind of made that hard. He couldn't stop his friendly smile from slipping into a smirk as Miroku told his tale of Sango the violent one.

"You're really worked up over this huh?" he asked. As if he really cared. He only had one thing on his mind and it wasn't his cursed hand problems either.

"Yeah, I am. Every since I saw her I haven't wanted to gro---uh date anyone else." Inuyasha snorted catching his shortened word and the lie then offered another fake smile.

"I'm sure she's gotten over the whole betraying her trust thing." He lied.

"Maybe…but I can still feel her slap on my cheek so I think I'll go for Plan B."

"Which is?"

"I'll ask Sakiya to get her cell phone number for me." He smiled at his ingenious.

'Good.' Plans were going smoothly.

The Girls

Kagome had never seen anything like it. The room was so lavishly decorated it was hard to believe one woman had done all this in only six months. The room had the flare of the club from the people dressed extravagantly to the music, with a dash of sophistication, like the waiters carrying drinks on their trays. People were crowded around mannequins dressed in different designers clothing and chatting, comparing the mannequin's clothing to their own. Some people were dancing to the loud music filling the room with varied life.

On the walls was long thin material that connected to the floor in no particular pattern, just random. The sheets changed from different soft colors not stopping at one color for more than 10 seconds at a time. Male and female dancers hung gracefully from the ceiling anchored by sheets hanging from the roof, but these sheets looked sturdier. They wore all white twisting and dancing majestically in the air. Anyone who looked at them was caught in their hypnotizing dance.

Upstairs round glass tables covered in white table clothes with white lit candles on them were close to the rail overlooking the runway (for the people who didn't pay quite as much for their tickets.) Down stairs where the girl's were the same tables were spotted along the sides of the straight runway far enough from the runway and the other tables not to touch and close enough to distinguish the faces of the people on the stage and the people sitting next to you.

The runway was a piece of work in it's self. It was made of crystal clear glass on the sides and on top was made of frosted glass. Panes of glass that big must have cost a lot of money.

"So? What do you think?" Sakiya asked unable to hide her excitement and jumping in front of her friends cutting off their silent stares. She stared at them dumbly as they shrugged nonchalantly hiding their amazement well.

"It's okay." Kagome said in a bored voice closing her eyes. Sango and Rin shook their heads in agreement stifling giggles.

"…" Sakiya looked at them unable to speak. She had put six months of her life, sweat, and blood into this and all they could do was shrug and say 'It's okay!' She sighed and put on a relieved smile when they burst out laughing.

"Psyche." Sango said taking in her surrounding again.

"This is great I love it!" Kagome said snapping a couple of pictures with the camera around her neck.

"I bet this is the best Mr. Anonymous since it started; I can see why it took half a year to put together. I've never seen anything like it." Rin said sincerity in all her words. Sakiya blushed a bit rubbing the back of her head.

"Just thinking of what your paycheck is must give you the chills." Sango said. She could just imagine herself getting her hands on this decorating project; she would have had so much fun.

"It better be. I should be paid more for the harassment I had to put up with." She growled glad it was finally over.

"Harassment?" Kagome asked bringing the camera down from her face.

"Yeah, Mr. Anonymous stuck me with two supervisors that were supposed to help me but all they did was sit on their fat asses and watch me work. They always gossiped about stars they supposedly knew and gave me errands to run and they are both the worst kind of bitch, what was even worse was that they were twins. I swear I almost lost my mind working with them, but I couldn't say anything because if I did they'd probably get me fired or my pay deducted. They had egos bigger than the all wonderful Inuyasha. Their self importance is unmatched by anyone I've ever met." Kagome sympathized with her, she knew all about evil bosses. Sango and Rin shuttered at the thought; two extra Kikyo's, but an ego bigger than Inuyasha's come on.

"I can still hear their voices, Sakiya darling over here!" Sakiya turned stopping in her tracks as two female voices unified with hers creating a stereo effect. It couldn't be who she thought it was could it? Of course it was them. Nobody spoke in stereo and could annoy her so much like they could. As she finally turned all the way around there they were dressed alike walking towards them waving.

"Sakiya sweetie, Kami it's been awhile!" They said. Their friendly voices didn't come off as welcoming to Kagome or the others. They could feel the phoniness dripping off every word they spoke. Their eyes beamed at Sakiya angry at her very presence, let alone the fact that she was having fun. They would just have to ruin that wouldn't they?

"May, Faye it's so nice to se… I am so glad to… hi." Sakiya didn't mean to butcher her sentence like that it just wasn't very many friendly greeting you could give to someone you didn't like. If she kept her temper they would go away defeated she just hoped her friends could, particularly Sango, because when it came to tempers and violence Sango was right up there with the best of them.

"So dear what do you think, isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen?" They spun around striking a pose and showing off their matching dressing. They were black and split at the side leaving little to imagine.

"Yeah it's...it's the best." She looked away her words awkward and fake. The only reason she was still being nice was to keep her paycheck at its current price. Yes she was still owned by them. They stood there in awkward silence as the twins folded their arms looking at Sakiya expectantly. Rin coughed the tension in the air starting to get to her.

"What?" Sakiya asked finally tired of the game.

"Aren't you going to introduce us?" Their voices rang in perfect harmony.

'That is so annoying.' Rin thought.

"Faye, May these are my friends, friends this is Faye and May." She said through tight lips already sick of them.

"Nice to meet you." They said sweetly. Kagome gave a half hearted semi interested wave.

"Charmed." Sango said in the most indifferent voice she could muster. Rin didn't even say anything, she pretended her nails were the best thing since sliced bread and filed them. They did not enjoy not having their asses kissed. They would demand their attention if they wouldn't give it to them willingly.

"So what about you three?" The twins said.

"Our dresses." They said when they didn't immediately start swooning over their outfits.

"Great." Sango and Rin said looking elsewhere while Kagome shrugged. Their outraged growls sent the girl's faces into smirks, especially Sakiya's. They'd be leaving any minute now. Or so she thought. They looked at their outfits instantly falling in love. Smirking they turned to Sakiya.

"Sakiya, where on earth did you get your clothes?" May asked.

"All of our clothes were made by the best designer in the world." She smiled at the beaming Sango.

"Oh?" Oh no Sakiya thought as her fell from her face. When ever one of them said 'Oh?' It usually ended in her getting pissed off. "We thought maybe you didn't have time to prepare so you just threw something on. Darling you really must be prepared next time when you come to an event like this. I know you're not used to going somewhere as classy as this but this really isn't the type of event you come dressed so…daring to." Sakiya held her extreme anger back and pinned it up in the back of her throat. She had bigger things to be worried about like Sango.

Sango clenched her fist and glared openly at the two holding back the words that had brewing in her mind since they came. When they smirked at her knowing she had made the clothes she could feel a vein begin to boil on her fist. They knew, they knew she had made those cloths and were just thrilled that they had succeeded in pissing Sakiya and her off. Those bitches were going down.

"You call what you're wearing fashion, you fu---" Sango began to say just as her friends clamped their hands clamped over her mouth and the twins turned to Sakiya smiling.

A man dressed in an all black suit stepped out onto stage with a microphone in his hand. Everyone stops talking and looks at him as the music's volume begins to die and he begins to speak.

"Everyone please begin to take your seats as Mr. Anonymous 2005 will begin in 30 minutes." When the man left the stage the music was turned up again and everyone began to move toward their seats.

"Let me help you find your seats." Sakiya said quickly and began pushing the twins in the opposite direction of Sango. They didn't know it but she had just saved their lives.

Slapping her friends' hands away she glared at the two. It hurt what those two said and it pissed her off that she had let what they said get to her. It felt like having someone call your child ugly it enraged her in a way that no one would be able to understand. Her friends looked at her and waited for to blow but were met with nothing.

"Sango?"

"Let's go find a table." Suddenly she felt less than fabulous. They sat in a table that had four chairs and was close to the runway. When they were seated Kagome and Rin turned to Sango unable to read her face but able to feel her anger and deflated confidence.

"Sango I know you did not listen to what those witches had to say did you?" Rin asked putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Those bitches wouldn't know fashion if Louis Vulton came to their house everyday brought his entire 2005 collection and told them what was in. They'd probably say 'Oh? We figured you just went to the thrift store and picked up a box and brought it over here.' They are so clueless it's ridiculous." She mimicked their voices. Sango smiled at their effort. Were the outfits she had made really that great? She looked at their clothing finding imperfections and things she could have done better on. She had never felt like this about her creations before. It was a low she had never experienced, she was afraid to go into her studio and look at all her other clothes. She might find something wrong with them too.

Pushing her chair back she stood up smiling weakly. Her friends looked at her shocked by her behavior. How could she let those stupid twins hurt her so deeply, the insult wasn't even that bad. Sango knew her clothes were great she was one of the most confident people Kagome had ever met. She knew they were just jealous and didn't know what they were talking about…didn't she?

"Sango, where are you going?" Rin asked her face sad.

"I'm going to take a look around you know to check out the other clothes."

"We'll come wit---." Kagome grabbed Rin's arm as Sango walked off alone.

"She'll be alright." She said watching her walk off. Kagome jarred her arm backwards into something hard as heavy arms rested on her and Rin's shoulders. She turned around with a glare ready for Inuyasha, but instead could only manage a blush of embarrassment at Kouga.

"Oh my gosh, Kouga I'm so sorry!" She said backing up.

"Damn Kagome, someone been harassing you lately?" He rubbed his stomach.

"I'm sorry, I-I thought you were Inuyasha."

"Understandable." He said turning to Rin. He squinted his eyes at her searching his memory for her identity then smirked.

"Kouga! I haven't seen you since I interviewed you!" She said walking into his open arms.

"Yeah it's been way too long."

"You know everyone Rin." Kagome said abandoning her earlier mission to introduce Rin to Kouga.

"Thank you Kagome. I try." She laughed

"So what's up?" Kagome said watching Kouga's eyes constantly shift away from them to around the club then back to them again.

"Nothing much I'm just you know---" He looked up searching his mid for a quick lie to satisfy Kagome.

"Looking for Sakiya?" She asked looking at her smirking at him. Rin watched them eating it up her natural reporter instinct setting in, but of course she kept it at bay. Even though her fame could have been way past this point, feeding people's private information to the world wasn't her thing. She took pleasure in the fact that that was why people loved her so much. She was a reporter with a soul.

"Why, is she here?" Kagome knew that Sakiya detested Kouga's very being for some reason that was very understandable, but she needed to move on from her ex. She didn't seem to be as over him as she had said she was, and it wasn't helping that he was contacting her every other day begging for her back. It always put her in a bad mood. Though she tried to hide it she could still see the pain in her eyes.

"Yeah, she went off with some bitchy twins. She left with them to protect them but it looks like she's the one that needs protection."

"Thanks, I'll see you two later. You two look great. You look better than half the models on the stage." He said walking off smirking.

"Courtesy of Sango!" Rin screamed after him laughing then turning to Kagome.

"She's going to be so mad." Rin said laughing despite her statement. Kagome brushed it off shrugging.

"Rin, I'm impervious to attitudes. I have the look." She demonstrated her piteous look accompanied with her puppy eyes. Rin laughed and sat down.

Sakiya

Sakiya looked into the ever moving mouths of the twins taking another swig of the vodka she swiped off some waiter's tray. That was the only way she could keep her sanity, without blowing her brains out. She would rather let her body fall under the antics of inebriation than torture herself with the insults of these two nobodies. What had she done to deserve this? She looked on indifferently as she entertained the idea of punching both of them in the mouth. They deserved it. They had made Sango feel bad despite the anger that was on her face she could see the hurt in Sango's eyes when she left.

'I should have let her kill them.' She thought bitterly as her name being called brought her out of her violent thoughts.

"Sakiya, Sakiya are you listening to us?" They glared at her taken aback that she glared back. Were they losing control over her? This was the last night they would probably see her before she got her paycheck, they'd just have to make it memorable. That was the only real way she'd remember them wasn't it. They knew they weren't what they were hyped up to be and it didn't help that Sakiya was more successful than they and at such a young age. Even her friends were better. A photographer, a designer (Whose clothes they must admit were gorgeous) and an interviewer, they had seen Rin on TV. It wasn't fair, the lucky little bitch.

Sloshing her drink around the martini glass she fully succeeded in pissing them off finding her cup way more interesting. Finally looking up to humor them she made up her mind to try and not let what ever they were about to say anger her.

"So how did you get in?" May asked grinning.

"What do you mean how did I get in, with my legs." She said catching the glare they sent her and relishing in it.

"No we mean we didn't think you could afford a ticket sugar." Faye said.

"Actually I got one in the mail." She shrugged.

"Oh? We figured you didn't seeing as how mostly important people get invited." She didn't say anything. She couldn't keep her anger at bay and give them a civil conversation, it just wasn't possible.

She figured the Vodka for the time being had kept it at bay but a migraine began to eat at her head. They had caused it but of course she couldn't do anything about it. How much alcohol would it take to make the twins go away?

She let her mind slip further into an alcoholic high mindful not to blur the line of pure drunkenness and her current state. She smiled as the new option of ignoring them was presented to her. Nodding her head to there one sided conversation she looked pass them their forms blurring as things in the distant became more clear. Her eyes waved over person from person skipping her usual analysis of them due to the alcohol. Her mind lingered on one though his shape and very aura calling her attention. She tilted her head to the side asking her mind why she couldn't remember who this attractive male in the brown sweat suit was, then remembering she pulled the glass down from her mouth still nodding to satisfy the twins. Just as she thought she had an inkling of what his name might be he caught her gaze and matched it with equal intensity his blue eyes surging into her. All at once her brain's dulled memory flickered to life and let his name sit in her mouth. She put the cup to her mouth, a sorry attempt to hide from him. She took a swig a nearly choked when he grinned and made his way to her. She coughed stopping the burning from burning her nose. Goad

The twins finally realized her nods and stare were empty and false. They looked at her blank expression as she stared passed them at something obviously more important, but nothing was more important than them. They turned into the well toned chest of a cold Kouga a remnant of the smirk he had still on his lips, but meant only for Sakiya. He looked down on them with frigid eyes like she wanted to and would once she got her check. He brushed past them taking Sakiya who now had her hand over her face in his arms. She dropped her hands looking up at him finding it hard to control emotions that ran rampant in her mind without the extra control of a completely sober mind. He encased her in his warmth, his scent, and his strength. Before she could protect herself she let go leaning into him. He looked down at her surprised that her body was responsive to him but her face was not. She looked disorientated and caught of guard.

"Are you okay?" He asked wanting to continuing holding her but seeing the end in her eyes along with pain.

"What are you doing?" She said dodging his question looking away from his concerned eyes not having the strength to push away his hand on her chin.

"I'm here to help." He said speaking the truth. Releasing her he looked to the bitches a glare vaguely present on his face.

"Sorry I'm late Saki." His deep coarse voice flowed suavely from his mouth. She glared at the floor, she detested nick names. She almost hit that bouncer for calling her baby girl and it was a test of her patience when people she didn't like all that much called her Saki. His arm snaked around her waist. The arm grasped her tightly and confidently like it had been there before and often. Looking up she could feel her heart begin to thud in her chest. She thought for sure he would still be on the floor curled up into a ball in pain yet here he was with his arm around her. She stared down at his arm pinching it and getting no reaction.

"K-K-Kouga Y-Yukio." They stuttered out afraid to look him in his iced over blue eyes. His unwelcoming eyes caught her off guard and had her lost in them wonder being her cause. She didn't even know him. Why was he here again? Letting one fang hang over his lip he smirked at them pulling Sakiya closer into him. Sakiya had stopped pinching him and looked up into the stuttering mouths of the twins.

The twosome looked at them and could feel their face light in embarrassment. Had they been harassing Kouga's…girlfriend? How the hell did she manage to get such a gorgeous not to mention famous man like Kouga Yukio.

"Why Sakiya you never mentioned that Kouga was your boyfriend." Faye said checking out his muscular frame. May was still in a state of shock.

"This! Him! He is not…" She stopped looking at their rattled forms. She stared into his smirk goose bumps growing under his hands were they lay. His touch loosened and became tendered filling her discomfort with something stabled and sweet. He had come to help her, but how exactly was this helping? He looked down at her again and smiled making everything clear. She'd kill them with jealousy.

"…Well I only told my close friends, you know people I like." She said slowly getting her point across clearly letting Kouga know it was okay. He grabbed her hand and held it up over her head spinning her around.

"You look great tonight; I don't think you've ever looked sexier." He said scanning her body then pulling her to him and resting a hand on the curve of her back. He certainly was forward today. He abandoned his old spot and leaned his head on her shoulder the front of him pressed into her back side intimately. He ran a restless hand all the way up her arm meeting the gauze that he had seen before at the photo shoot. He removed his hand feeling her grow rigid and unresponsive.

"You're going to embarrass me, stop." She glared stepping away from him. She then smiled as he took her hand again.

"It's true, don't you agree?" He asked the twins finally addressing them without a scowl. He looked at them expectantly daring them to throw an insult at her why he was standing here.

"Yes, we were just saying that." May said forgetting her earlier insult hoping to get into Kouga's good graces, or at least get him to defrost his eyes and demeanor towards them.

"See?" He said pulling her to him again with much force as she tried to stay rooted to her spot.

"Relax." He said in a warm whisper, placing his lips by her ear. She shrunk back breaking apart their bodies his touches going too far. Laughing nervously she turned to the twins but not before she glared at Kouga.

"Really? For some reason I got the feeling that you didn't like the clothes. And Sango felt so bad for nothing." He liked the clothes, there was absolutely nothing wrong with these clothes in his eyes. He ran his eyes down her legs and up her curves until he got to her head and the twins looked at him. Kouga glared at the two. Remaining cold and depriving them of attention that they so desperately needed to keep their egos. Sakiya turned back to Kouga her Vodka daze gone.

"You always look good wolf." She whispered lustfully playing into the role of Kouga's flavor of the week. He could smell the light scent of Vodka on her breath as her whisper washed his face. Not that it smelled it just didn't do her justice her scent being much sweeter and desirable. It made him want to take the smell from her mouth with his tongue leaving nothing there but his scent and his memories. So maybe it wasn't all that bad he smirked.

"Thank you babe, but I insist you look way better. I can barely control myself now and you have on clothes."

"I know what you mean." She lowered her eyes lids placing her arms around his neck. They'd do this on her terms, and no one else's. She played with the end of his ponytail smirking at the horrified look the twin's faces began to change into. He placed his hands on her hips. She closed her eyes and leaned into Kouga's lips. He waited patiently for her for this connection and the softness of her lips, and the taste of her mouth.

"I'm afraid we must be going now." Pulling back before their lips could touch Sakiya smirked wickedly at the now uncomfortable and writhing with jealously twins. Faye grabbed her sister and pushed her to the stair case, praying that Sakiya didn't notice that they had not been invited like she had but had to pay for their tickets, but much to their dismay she did. Like a cat she landed on her feet from the shock of Kouga's gentle touches that had done the trick.

"I hate them." She said glaring after them. When she could no longer see them she turned and began walking the opposite way toward her table, grinning at Kouga who didn't quite as easily land on his feet after their staged kiss. He had been that close and she had just pulled away. He glared at her retreating back then realized it was just that, retreating.

"Hey wait." Kouga said frowning. Damn hadn't he just helped her or had she forgotten that easily. He even decided to help her despite the present she left him with the last time they met and the rejection of his date offer. Catching up and keeping in stride with her he grabbed her arm making her slow down.

"Aren't you going to thank me?" He asked grinning proud of himself. He had done something right toward her.

"Why should I? You got more enjoyment out of it than I did." She said adjusting her skirt and pulling the brown shirt under her poncho down as far as it would stretch. It was flattering having him look at her like that but the intensity was making her just a little uncomfortable.

"What makes you think that?"

"I don't think I know. You could have just of easily cussed them out or hit one of them." She said rubbing her arm irritated that she didn't feel violated after having his hands roam on her like that. What's worse is that kiss was a distant flirt that was meant to leave him rattled and craving more of what she wouldn't give him. She knew part of that was the Vodka's part but the will she wasn't so sure about.

"And you didn't?" He said in that commanding voice. She couldn't tell if he meant at the twins expense or at the fact that he had his hands on her but it made her blush nonetheless. She thought about leaving, his ego taking up too much of her air but then thought better of it smirking.

"If I didn't like itthen what makes you think that I like it now." She asked then being the day they had first met.

"Are you always on your guard like this?" He frowned stopping their accelerating walking by grabbing her arm. She glared pulling her arm back.

'I have to protect myself when I can.'

"How did you find me?" She avoided his question for the second time tonight.

"I ran into Kagome and Rin. They told me about your problem so I figured I'd save you."

"I don't need to be saved." Her glare hardened. Maybe that wasn't exactly the right path to go down. It seemed a little tender, though he would have to find out why later on when she was less prone to violence.

"You know I meant it when I said you looked good tonight." He changed his question remembering how much getting into her business could hurt.

"Thanks." She said a smirk creeping onto her face. Just by the impish smile on her lips he could tell she was about to throw a cynical remark his way, she loved to do that. Walking again she turned around the smirk still on her face.

"Oh, and I'm really sorry about, you know, hitting below the belt."

"Don't worry about it, it didn't do any damage." His voice was suggestive as if it were hiding a secret. She caught his subtle message and looked into his eyes showing no sign of a blush.

"Damn. Not even a little bit?" She said Kagome Rin and Sango waving her over.

"I'm afraid not. It would take a lot more than that to do any damage there." He said in that same tone of voice grinning. She rolled her eyes at his male ego.

"Well next time I'll take that into account." Frowning he watched her sit down.

'At least this time she didn't kick me.' He thought sitting in the table next to them.

Sango

Sango stared at a mannequin wearing a tight fitting short blue dress with a white belt that hung loosely on its hips. Turning her head to the side she frowned. It wasn't all that much better than hers was it? What if what the twins said was true? They didn't even know her and they had told her that her clothes suck. She might act confident in front of everyone else but she wasn't always all that sure that her works were as great as her friends hyped them up to be. If they were than how come she couldn't feel it? How come she couldn't just look at it and tell everything was alright?

She used to be able to do that. In high school while all of the other beautiful girls went through their painful phase of thinking they were ugly, fat, and overall unattractive her confidence moral had remained high. She was confident in her skin and had always been there to be the one to back her friends up when they couldn't see how beautiful they were. She had always been the girl the other girl's at school admired for her grace and being able to always see that one true thing that made her Sango and made her beautiful no matter what drama her changing teenage body was going through.

Being at this low self-esteem point in her life was ground she had never treaded before and she was ready to get over it. Not being sure in what she was doing and in her creativity didn't feel good and honestly scared the hell out of her. She was not prone to failure or disappointment and her esteem was just setting her up for some sort of self pain she had never felt before. There had to be a way around it.

"Ah, gorgeous we meet again." She jumped not daring to turn around. She knew this. She had heard this voice before. God she knew that voice. She felt a hand on her shoulder still not wanting to face who it belonged to. Did she attract perverts or was it just her?

She hated perverts with an ardor. She hated them all. She couldn't stomach them, especially the one she couldn't seem to get out of her mind. No matter how much she wanted to keep him out of her mind, or how much she would push his name out of her mind she just couldn't shake him. She had even remembered his name. What the hell. Wasn't it her three weeks ago that had told herself that she wouldn't see him again and to throw away her betrayed feelings. First she had low self-esteem now this. Kami she couldn't trust herself. She turned around; she might as well face him she still had anger pent up inside her she could let it go all on him. No, even he didn't deserve something as evil as her wrath.

"Miroku." Her glare was icy and chilled him right down to his perverted hand.

'Damn she remembers. There go my hopes. Alright Miroku keep it together…she looks sad work from that…' All perverted thoughts were dropped as he turned to get a better look at Sango's slightly broken eyes. Did he miss something? What had happened to all that fire?

"Look, I'm really sorry about what happened in the parking lot at Rin's job." He rubbed the back of his head as Sango's body bolted in a quick flinch and her hand flexed.

"It's okay." That was something he didn't expect from her. Her voice was low and uninterested in his standing next to her. Her eyes were focused on the mannequin not taking one glance at him.

"Sango?" That got her attention. He had actually said her name, not gorgeous. Tilting her head to him she asked a quiet what making his concern grow.

"Um…" her eyes were so deep with thought and feeling his words got lost in them making him forget what he was going to say. Sighing he could feel his words return to him.

"You look really beautiful tonight, that outfit is…wow." He could feel a smile grow on his face at the smile she gave him at his generous words. She did look great, he had been fighting off the urge to touch every since he had walked up. He loved her outfit. All women should wear that outfit.

"Thanks…" She smirked. What the hell was wrong with her? Of course she looked good; all of her designs looked good. She had been pursuing this dream and fighting for it too long to let some tacky bitches who thought they were so great they could have Donald Trump on call waiting to put her out of commission. What had she been thinking? She smiled at Miroku he had brought her out of this as quickly as he had gone in. It was so simple such a small compliment yet it had the power to bring her out of her funk. Maybe he wasn't as bad as he seemed. She really did appreciate it.

"Yeah thanks." She of course she had spoken too soon as she felt that unwelcome rub to her ass and that infuriating flame to her cheeks.

"No, thank you." He said his voice drunk with bliss.

'Oops.' He really hadn't meant it. It just happened. One minute he was worried about comforting her and the next his hand was worrying about comforting her butt, so he really didn't blame her when she decided to comfort his face with her fist. He fell to the floor the sting of her punch not quite as strong as it was the first time. He smiled at her retreating form welcoming her back. He didn't know why she was going soft on him but he figured it was a good sign. He'd defiantly ask Sakiya for Sango's cell number.

Glancing back she looked at him once more before she made it back to her table, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

'That was a free one pervert. Thanks again.'

"Sango!" Rin said noticing her renewed happiness.

"Let's order drinks shall we." She said taking a seat.

"Hi Kouga!" Kagome said making sure that Sakiya knew that he was sitting rather close to her. When she did nothing and Kouga said hi back she sat down amused.

'This is going to be an interesting night.'

"Hello, I don't believe I've met you. You must be the designer with the hot clothes." He said grinning as Sango smirked. Sakiya looked up and rolled her eyes.

"I didn't tell him to say that corny---"

"Hi I'm Sango." Sango said cutting Sakiya off taking Kouga's hand.

"Nice to meet you."

"I've heard so much about you." She said grinning.

"All good I hope."

"From Kagome yes, from Sakiya…" Sango began laughing at Kouga's face.

"She knows she wants me." He said playfully leaning on her shoulder. She looked down on him like a bird had decided to relieve himself on her shoulder.

"Ah, the gaze of love. That's the same look my Sango gives me." Miroku said patting her bottom which invitingly hung out from the back of her chair. She jumped holding in her anger trying no to make a scene in such a public place.

"I hope something bad happens to you." She glared at him along with Sakiya who still had a very smug Kouga on her shoulder.

"Waitress, martini please!" She held her hand up as a waitress passed by her putting a martini glass filled with vodka, Jolly Rancher soda, and chilled Jolly Ranchers in it.

"If I drink enough of these I just might agree with you at the end of the night Wolf." The table filled with laughter as the waitress put a round of the drinks on the table and Kouga took her comment as a joke.

"Follow one beautiful girl and it leads you to the rest. I'm a lucky man." Sango shuttered at the sound of a chair screeching up between her and Sakiya.

"Miroku!" Sakiya patted his shoulder.

"What no hug."

"Do you really want a hug from me Miroku? I still owe you for the last time I saw you pervert. Not to mention all my life." She said dryly itching to slap him for all the times he had touched her. She glanced at Kouga feeling the heated glare he sent Miroku. She could have sworn she heard a deep growl vibrate through his chest to accompany his glare.

"Quit being such a pervert Miroku." He said his voice irritated and tetchy. Sakiya watched him raising the glass to her face and using it as a shield to her eyes. Maybe it was just her or the alcohol. It was loud, and a lot of people were talking. She put the glass down writing the sound off.

"Thirsty Sango?" Kagome asked smirking at Sango lifting the lime light off of her and on to a glaring Sango who was trying to put all her attention into her drink.

"So Miroku, where's Inuyasha? Kagome's been dying to know." She smiled watching Kagome's face fall to pieces.

"He'll be one of the first one's on the stage actually, but don't worry Kagome he's only modeling one set so for the rest of the show he'll be all yours." Sango began snickering as Rin and Sakiya looked off from the glaring Kagome. Bitterly she could recall a certain person and her loyal follower saying that Inuyasha would be on stage for most of the night.

"Really? I kind of got the impression he'd be on stage for most of the night." Kagome glared. Rin began coughing while Sakiya played with the napkin her drink sat on.

Sango put her drink down satisfied with the subtle pay back she had inflicted on Kagome. Clapping filled the room again and following the will of the crowd they began clapping as the lights began to dim into darkness all around them. Miroku and Kouga moved their chairs back to their table and too began clapping. The same man who had instructed them to head to their seats earlier step out on stage holding this time accompanied by his co-host Mako Mitzuna who was wearing a soft pink dress that in the front was short but in the back was long and had rhinestones that lined the V-neck.

"Welcome two of the fashion world's most renowned models, Monica Scott and Haru Mitzuna.

"Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth annual Mr. Anonymous!" Monica said smiling a dazzling white smile that was ideal for her talk show she had with her male counterpart (wearing a suit) Haru Mitzuna. Haru took her hand and stood back letting the spotlight show off her dress.

"Doesn't she look great? Fellas hehe doesn't she look great?" He said shaking his head as if her beauty was unheard of. The crowd of men went wild with cheers and claps as she turned around in a circle until you couldn't see her bare back anymore.

"What about you? Hot right ladies? You know I don't think I've ever seen anyone look better in a suit before." All the woman burst into catcalls and whoops of endearment as he bowed and opened his jacket showing off his solid cerulean shirt underneath his black jacket.

"Wow would you look at this place? I think this is the best Mr. Anonymous yet!" The crowd cheered again this time stopping short as Monica began to speak again.

"You know what Monica I think this is the biggest and best crowd we've had, and by the looks of it we have some real talent out there look at all the beautiful people!" Haru peered into the crowd as they duly gave themselves props Kagome's table being the loudest.

"Ah looks like they agree but you guys better save some of that applause for the man of the hour whom I still haven't guessed his identity. Who ever he is he out did himself. Having said that let's get this thing started!" The crowd cheered for one final time as Monica took Haru's hand and they both left.

The light's dulled to near darkness. The room was in silence for a couple of minutes before heavily bass music began to pump into the room vibrating into the chairs and tables willing many of the guests to dance in their seats. The multicolored sheets on the wall changed a violent electric blue and the new dancers wearing black began to dance wildly in club style high above the audience. A projection above the exit where the models began coming out of flashed the words So Addictive on the wall.

Models wearing vibrantly colored skimpy bathing suits cat walked confidently down the runway hitting a dance move here and their catching the will of the crowd. Kagome flashed one picture remembering her 6 clothing shot rule.

"That is so cute." Rin said watching a model wearing blue boy cut shorts type swimming suit and a bra. She walked to the end of the stage then turned around gracefully feeling the stage out through her bare feet. Various other design labels showed off their swim suit lines until the music changed again into Gwen Stefani's Holla Back Gurl and the blue colors change a bright red. A model with blonde hair came out in black blue jean capris that folded at the bottom and across the butt the word Feisty was displayed in yellow letters that dripped like they had been put on with paint, a yellow tank top, and black fingerless gloves with yellow stitching. A girl with black hair came out onto the stage and stopped the blonde and gently shoved her feigning like she was starting a fight. The two looked at each other throwing their hands up in the air and cat walked off the stage like diva's whose attitudes contradicted.

"Sango I'm saying this as your best friend drooling is not cool." Kagome said to Sango who was caught up in the ambiance the music and especially the clothes. She ignored Kagome taking in her passion full blast.

More models came out cat walking to the thumping beat and modeled different types of capris and tops. Everyone in the crowd would hit waves of silence as they gazed upon this world that was them and then the silence would break once they remembered where they were.

"Sakiya…Sakiya?" Miroku tapped the girl on the shoulder fully aware of how hard she was trying to ignore him. He tapped her again her response being the rolling of her eyes. She turned from him repositioning her self so that she was fully facing the stage.

"Saki, Saki come on you know you can't ignore me." He whispered confidently into her unwilling ears.

"Yeah I can, watch me." She could feel him smirk behind her.

"Too late you already answered me." She groaned trying the ignoring approach one more time.

"Sakiya." She snapped her head backwards and glared at him unable to hold it due to him being Miroku and having the leverage of the fact that she's known him forever and hasn't seen him in a long time over her, and that smile of his self made bliss. It was ridiculous.

"What." She pinched the bridge of her nose softly her face devoid of the scowl she had especially for him.

"Can I talk to you?" He asked that smile still there.

"Now? Can't it wait?" She turned to the show desperately then to her friends who ditched her for the show. One last idea entered her head that she didn't even want to try, she glanced at Kouga then sweat dropped when she realized he had also ditched her for the models strutting in lingerie on the stage.

'Where's the hero efforts now?' She glared darkly. Then something crossed her, beautiful women were on the stage in nothing but underwear, sexy underwear at that, and he had not turned to look once. What ever he had to talk to her about must have been really serious. Sighing she nodded getting up as he led her away from the crowd and into a vacant spot in the club where the music was a little softer.

"What's up?" she asked concerned. Miroku turned from looking a spec in the crowd that was Sango and looked at her seriousness in his features.

"As I'm sure you know I really like Sango…" She smirked.

"Yeah and what does that have to do with me?" She asked already knowing the structure of their conversation. Inuyasha was slow at times but when he actually had the initiative and energy to go through with one of his ideas he was brilliant.

"Well I…" He frowned at being rushed a blush covering his cheeks. "You think you can do me a favor? Could you give me her cell number?" She grinned pretending to be annoyed when in reality she was quite entertained.

"Why would I do that?" She said as if that was the dumbest question she had ever heard.

"Because I've known you for your whole life and you love me." She looked up feigning thinking it over in her head and then looked down again at him grinning.

"Though I would like a second opinion on that last statement, I guess I could give it to you." He smiled pulling out a pen and a post it note. She quickly scribbled out the number and handed it to him smiling.

"There you go Roku."

"I thank you." He began walking but stopped when she didn't join him.

"Uh go ahead, I have to make a call." Once she was sure he was out of hearing range she pressed the one on her phones speed dial.

"Hello Dog-Face."

"Did he ask?" A voice said through the phone.

"Of course just like you said."

"Good, hehe, oh I gotta go I'm going on stage now." She hung up walking back to her table just as the music changed and the colors changed to a poisonous green.

"Where'd you go?" Kagome asked.

"Nowhere, just had to take care of a little business." She said as Kagome shrugged and watched the stage again.

Women let a little cheer sound as men began filing onto the stage. The projector changed again and flashed the name Streetware in huge letters across the wall.

Men came out in jerseys of all kinds showing off there blue jeans and long shorts. A man in long sleeve shirt with the designers name across his well toned chest walked out onto the stage stopping to stare at the swooning audience for a while then walked back through the exit. Three handsome men with cut bodies walked onto the stage in unison step with no shirts on and baggy blue jeans and different colors of a shoe with the logo SW on the side of it.

"That's cute." Rin whispered to Sakiya.

"Yeah I like those shoes too." Sakiya said.

"No, I mean the one with the black hair in the middle." Rin said getting a laugh from Sakiya.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind having one of those." Sakiya said watching them leave the stage. Kagome and Sango laughed at the two earning eye rolls from Miroku and Kouga. The track lights flashed down on the stage and focused waiting for the next person to come out. The word Seduction flashed against the wall.

"What's wrong boys you don't like it?" Sango teased as the women part of the crowd erupted in squeals of delight and screams.

"Whoa." Rin eyebrows went up in surprise as did her friends'. Kagome turned toward the stage almost choking on her drink. Dressed in a blazer a button up shirt with different hues of blue strips tucked into the front of blue jeans and blue tinted sunglasses Inuyasha walked out onto the runway. His clothes were messily arranged on his perfect body and his silver mane untamed and sexy as it snaked down his back. He stopped walking halfway down the runway and looked at his cuffs adjusting them as if they were the only things in the world that mattered then when he was done looked at the women in the crowd seductively like they were all apart of one woman and he wanted them all. The girls went wild. It was like being at a concert.

Kagome could feel her heart suddenly speed up in her chest as he came toward the end her table was on. She couldn't hear the music anymore all she could see was Inuyasha who was now taking off his jacket and holding it over his shoulder. He stopped at the end of the stage his back turned to Kagome. She prayed he didn't see her in the crowd or hear her heart beating so quickly in her chest. It seemed like forever before he finally turned toward her like she knew he would. The crowd the music and her heartbeat melted away into fuzzy surreal ness as he locked eyes with her pulling his glasses down a bit so that she could see the golden hot desire in them. He was so infuriating, so annoying, so fucking cocky and so…hot.

'Kagome concentrate, Kag pay attention, don't give in to this asshole…don't let him control you!' She screamed in her mind at her dead limbs and her eyes that could not leave his as he raked his hands through his hair to please the crowd. All at once despite herself she began to notice the little things that made the crowd go wild, like his shirt that had slipped free from his pants and was unbuttoned reveling the his bellybutton and the start of his abs, she also noticed once again how cute his ears were and how truly beautiful he was. The rest of the crowd seemed to dissipate and all that was left was her and Inuyasha. Though his performance lingered with everyone his eyes and attention stayed on her and everyone noticed. Her body felt heavy under his gaze.

She had been lost in his eyes, that is until he mouthed 'Hey Kag.' She felt her face erupt in flames as the crowd went quite on his departure. She could have sworn that she heard him. Glaring she stood up, everyone's jealous eyes going with her.

"Where you going Kagome all the really hot clothes are about to presented now!" Rin said.

"I need some fresh air." She said curtly her heart still racing in her chest assaulting her ribs.

"What's wrong with her?" Miroku asked worried, she looked upset. Sango watched her walk off shaking her head.

"I think it has something to do with Inuyasha's show." She bit her lip. She had always been represented as the attitude of the group but Kagome could really do some damage if you pushed her far enough.

"Oh, she's all hot and bothered. I could take care of that." Sango punched him in the back of the head a vein in her forehead going through an attack of spasms.

"Still the pervert I remember." Kouga laughed shaking his head.

"I was just kidding."

"I don't have anything on that." Sakiya said looking at the lump on his head, the vein in her forehead, and the twitch in her eye.

"No, you're right up there with her." Kouga said. Sakiya glared at him.

"Who asked you?" Rin laughed nervously patting her hot friends on the back.

"Yo." They turned to the voice of a smirking Inuyasha.

"Hi, Inuyasha!" Rin sighed happy that the tension was gone.

"That was great; you really know how to work the runway." Sakiya said she had never really seen him on the runway before.

"Our Kaggy seems to think so." Rin giggled under her breath. Inuyasha smirked still in the clothes he modeled on stage.

"Where is Kagome?" He asked nonchalantly.

"How should I know dog-face? Can't keep up with your woman?" Kouga asked smirking. Sakiya glared at his sexist comment a growl rumbling through her throat. He looked at her and smiled weakly at her dark aura.

"Like you?" His words were dark and dangerous as he noticed the interest Kouga had in his little sister. He knew she'd be mad at him for a while for shedding light on this but she'd thank him for saving her from the big bad wolf.

"Fuck you." He spat.

"Fuck you." Inuyasha shot back glaring and ready to go to work on Kouga's face.

"Fuck both of you. Or did you forget that I'm sitting right here. Maybe you should go find Kagome. Inuyasha." She spit fire on his name turning to look at the show like Sango had done a while ago. He cringed; she never called him Inuyasha unless she was angry with him. He'd address it later he had more pressing things to tend to now. He sat next to Sango lost in the clothes.

"Say Sango did you happen to see where Kagome went?"

"She went to the place with the door." She slowly slipped out of her splendid coma and pointed lazily where she had seen Kagome leave to. Grinning he left Kagome's scent filling his nose as he neared the door.

Kagome

She glanced at the door and cringed at the bouncer deciding against going outside, she really wasn't in the mood to hug anyone at the moment. Looking for another human-less exit she turned to the back of the club to wooden double doors. No one even noticed as she made her way to the door jiggling the handle and entering it as it creaked open. To her surprise it led to the outside where a D.J.'s booth and a dance floor complete with track lights and a couple of tables was. It was like an outside club. They must come out here on hot nights where the weather is perfect for an outside party, though deserted it still had magnificent ambience making her feel slightly comforted.

In the middle of the dance floor was a water fountain. It didn't take up much room but was tall enough for people to sit on and was perfect for the couples that were over taken by the seductive ambience of an outside dance scene. She sat on the lip of the well running her hands through the crystal clear water that lit up with light as it bubbled making its life known to her.

She glared splashing her reflection marring the perfect image of her in the water. What the hell made that bastard think that when ever he felt the least bit horny all he had to do was snap his fingers and she would instantly fall in love with him? She laughed bitterly. Why wouldn't he think he could just have her he was a rich bastard who had women thrown at his feet all the time but she would not be one of those women. She would not let him plan a course for her; she would not let him control her. That was one thing she could not bring herself to do, if she did her already failing spirit would die in the process.

Her head raced with images of him playing with her so effortlessly, teetering on the edge of his work and pleasure watching her squirm in her seat. It made her mad just thinking about it. When had she let him cross the line where he could do anything he saw fit for them? Not that there was a "them", but to satisfy the them in his mind he could at least knock his ego down a step and quit being an ass. Wasn't she at least worth that? Or was she just some girl of the month that was just a prize to be won and shown off in his little black book of bed missions. Realizing this hurt more than she thought it would, which was all the more reason not to let him in.

She stiffened as the door creaked loudly. Either it was one of her friends or pissed personnel that wanted to stress the fact that everyone was out there and she should be too. Her already growing temporary loathing of Inuyasha wouldn't allow her heart to beat fast or her face to flush as he walked through the door smirking.

"Where'd you go babe?" He reached for her but she dodged glaring at him. He sat next to her, and couldn't help but notice how icy she was acting and how she wasn't speaking to him.

"Don't forget we're on a date." He said putting a hand on hers trying to get her to let go of her silence and scream at him for manipulating her into going out on a date with him. She stood up knowing holding her peace would be an impossible thing to do around someone so annoying. Her shyness and innocence was gone replaced by something foreign and cold, something he had never experienced in a woman before.

"This date's over." She said in quite anger making her way to the exit.

"What the hells wrong with you wench?" He asked rudely. He shrunk back as she stomped back in front of him her eyes burning red. He wasn't used to her acting like this and he already didn't know exactly what it was that made Kagome Higurashi tick. She had so easily hid that from him like she didn't trust him or something. He was used to women putting their all into him but he had only gotten the surface of Kagome. It made him kind of angry. He looked up at her with unjust anger.

"What the hells wrong with you! I guess you thought in that small brain of yours that I liked that show."

"You say that Kagome but your face says something totally different." He said a smirk on his face referring to her red stained cheeks. He moved to trace his claws on his skin but found his face met with a sharp sting from the slap Kagome gave him.

"Do you honestly believe that calling me baby and wench and bitch and molesting me every chance you get is ever gonna make me want to date you? If you do you're a complete idiot! " She shouted in his face.

"No, I call you wench because you are one!" He snapped letting his anger out on her for not trusting him with her.

"These shallow half-assed pick lines aren't going to get you anything tangible from me and, frankly your highness I'm not impressed." She shouted standing in front of him prepared for anything he thought he was going to throw at her. Inuyasha growled at her not liking the fact that she wasn't falling for him quicker. Maybe she wasn't worth the chase.

"Whatever bitch. I don't need to impress you." He said in an airy voice trying to suppress his anger at her dialysis of his vain thoughts toward her. How had she mapped him out so easily when he couldn't even guess what she was thinking? He looked at her staring at her fire and rage. It was like staring down the barrel of a beautiful gun.

One minute she was under his spell enraptured in his touches and words of lust, but the next minute he was under hers on fire and stuck in her eyes. Now she was pissed and ready to kill him yet he still wanted to kiss her and smother her fire. Had he missed something?

"Didn't I tell you… MY NAME'S NOT BITCH!" She glared at him poking in the chest increasing the intensity of each poke and, then finally put her hand on his shoulder pushing him into the water.

The water splashed upwards and splashed back down drenching him fully. He flailed upwards sucking in air before he choked and looked at her back wild eyed the ice cold water mauling his skin. Shaking the water from his wet hair he watched her leave her name on the tip of his tongue.

How did she do this? When had a woman been able to make his feelings so random? He didn't like the thought of it but found himself enjoying the arbitrary feeling she gave him and he wasn't about to let her walk away from him so easily. There was definitely something there to chase.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Is that Kagome?" Sakiya asked peering into the distance.

"Yeah, but the shows over now." Rin said disappointed that Kagome had missed the end of the show.

"Hmm, they were gone a long time. I wonder what they were doing." Miroku asked placing one hand on his chin thoughtfully while the other one went to work on the unsuspecting Sango. Not wanting to make a scene she kicked him in the leg receiving a muffled cry from him.

"Pervert. She said Kagome, not Kagome and Inuyasha." She growled the count of how many times he had touched her in one night hitting five.

"She looks...pissed." Kouga said. Kagome sat down in her seat glaring at anyone who dared to look her way.

"Don't ask." She said turning toward the stage not willing to answer any questions on her current state. Kagome could feel eyes invade her back as she pretended that she was interested in what Monica and Haku were saying on the stage as they confirmed the ending of the show.

"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked cautiously wondering why his friend was dripping wet. Inuyasha looked to his friends and glared turning his head from them just as Kagome had done. He sat down with a soggy plop. He focused his golden gaze on Kagome, indifferent and lost in thought.

"Ask him what happened." Rin said thinking Inuyasha would tell Sakiya.

"Nope, I don't even want to know. I don't need to be screamed at." She said.

"Yeah, we should leave this is one alone Miss Reporter." Sango said putting clues together in her head.

"They're about to announce who Mr. Anonymous is." Sakiya said foreseeing Kouga's inevitable irritation to Inuyasha's already growing anger. They all turned to the stage, tension too thick to dig at.

"For all of you who are stumped on our guest of honor's identity and those who are sure they know who he is it's time to confirm it. At just the tender age of 18 he began the first Tenseiga's store and from then it was a snowball effect," Inuyasha glared at the stage not believing his ears. He knew exactly who they were talking about. How could he not when your own blood owns such a popular store it was never kept in the dark. "people from all over common and famous wanted their clothes to be featured in his chain of stores. He even models. Here he is this years Mr. Anonymous Sesshomaru Takahashi!" All the spot lights grouped together and aimed on one spot in the middle of the runway where Monica and Haku used to stand.

A man wearing a black suit tailored perfectly to his lean broad shouldered body gazed into the audience with familiar golden eyes and a fanged smirked. He was a designers dream; tall and in shape. Kagome looked at the man and back at the scowling Inuyasha. The man looked at their table his eyes and face stoic. Despite the emotionless gaze the man was absolutely gorgeous. His long silvery mane trailed majestically to his thighs tamed and meticulously cared for. His molten eyes though like Inuyasha's were one of a kind capturing his aura and essence unlike his stoic presence. He looked down at his table smirking when Inuyasha flipped him off instead of waving to him like Sakiya and Miroku chose to do or the nod of acknowledgement Kouga gave him.

It was him! That was who Hisho had been hounding her to get on the show, and she could see why. The man was a god, a sexy god that would have the girl's that watched her show hooked on him and her for life. She fought the heat in her face as his golden eyes leered on her from the stage.

"Wow that was unexpected." Miroku said. Rin turned to him with erratic eyes, he knew him?

"Yeah no shit." Inuyasha said slipping into a fowl mood. If he had of known he was Mr. Anonymous he would have skipped it this year. He didn't need the drama. Kouga didn't even say anything because Miroku had summed his feelings up already. Rin couldn't get the words to come out but her face screamed for attention, they knew him too!

"He hired me and kept me in the dark all this time?" Sakiya laughed happy to see the man on stage. She turned to Rin her smile changing into a frown as Rin breathed down her neck.

"You know him?" Rin whispered in a rushed hush. Inuyasha looked at her weirdly.

"Breathe Rin. Are you oka---"

"You know him?" She whispered again pointing to the four of them in an accusing sweep while Kagome and Sango watched giggling.

"Sesshomaru?" Kouga grunted

"First name basis!" she said excitement killing her.

"Takahashi sound familiar? He's Inuyasha older brother." Sakiya said.

"Half brother." He says as Rin leans across the table.

"You have to get me an interview! Promise me you'll get him to let me interview him!" She whispers.

"Rin," Kagome giggled "Why are you whispering?" Sakiya looked at Rin scooting back as she basically drooled onto her lap.

"I…don't know but I really need that interview. Please Sakiya?"

"No. Ask Inu it's his brother." She said simply pushing Rin off of her. She turned to Inuyasha smiling.

"Please Inuyasha." She begged.

"We're not exactly a close knit family." He says staring into her desperate face as she throws in million's of pleases for effect. Miroku nudged him falling sucker for her disappointed face. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"I guess." He said distastefully. He didn't really want to talk to him if he didn't have to. Sure they kept in touch from time to time but not enough to ask for favors. Talking with his older brother too much would only end in an argument and possibly a fight, or the other way around.

"Wow," the host entered back onto the stage. "I take back what I said about never seeing a man look better in his suit before." Sesshomaru smirked at the blushing girl.

"Did everyone have a good time?" He asked in his collected voice as the crowd answered hanging attentively on his every word. Oddly for it being so devoid of emotion his whole demeanor was sexy and it helped that he was so handsome.

"Sesshomaru I love you!" A female voice screamed from the second floor seats. He looked up and smirked not surprised when she screamed again.

"Everything you saw here tonight will be coming to Tenseiga's by the spring. Your support has helped me a lot and I would like to thank you all." The crowd clapped again watching as the mysterious man left the stage.

"That's it guys. That's all for the annual Mr. Anonymous fashion show. Who will it be next year?" The two hosts bowed and exited the stage talking. Inuyasha stood up pulling out his cell phone and began walking toward the exit.

"Where you goin Inuyasha?"

"I got some business to take of; I'll see you guys later. Especially you Kagome." He waved and began dialing numbers on his cell phone smirking as he anticipated the blush on Kagome's face at him calling her out.

"Sure, Inuyasha we can go swimming again. Can we go guys?" She forced out of her tight throat, feeling his smirk. He really didn't hear anything she said?

"Uhh, sure." Sango said hearing something in Kagome's face that she didn't have when they first arrived as Sakiya's cell phone started to ring. Inuyasha flinched and fell back into his original bad mood.

"Hello? Are you sure you can't do it without me? Fine but I better get paid for this Faye, and I'm not in the mood for any bullshit either." Sakiya scowled slapping her new flip phone closed.

"I'm sorry guys, I gotta stay here and help Faye and May clean this place up." Her friends looked at her and frowned.

"Can't you ditch those bitches?" Sango asked glowering at the mention of the two terrors.

"No I really can't plus they're paying me extra, besides my paychecks in the bag so I can spend the time harassing them. I might even get in some violence." She said smirking watching Sango's face brighten.

"Well get a punch in for me." She winked.

"Bye Sakiya!" Rin waved along with Kagome and Miroku.

"Bye guys, I'll come by tomorrow. Maybe we can grab something to eat. My treat?" She said smiling walking backwards as she spoke.

"That's the best kind; don't get mad at me if I order the whole right side of the menu." Kagome smiled.

"Why do I feel as if I've just sealed my financial fate?" She said smirking. She could sense Kouga blue eyes watching her leave as she past him. He watched her waiting for a sign that he wasn't flirting with her in vein. He didn't know what was going on in that small part of her mind dedicated to him and he wanted to as badly as she wanted to hide it from him. Throwing a side glance in his direction she let a hint of a smile touch her lips.

"Thanks Wolf." She said letting his gaze linger with her for as long as he could without moving. He smirked waving to Miroku and the girls as he headed toward the exit. Maybe he wasn't on mission impossible.

"Hello?" Sango said feeling the vibrations in her purse shaking up her arm. She held a finger up and began to walk to a quieter place as her friends began to chat with Miroku.

"Hello Sango."

"Inuyasha?" Sango asked quietly frowning. What did he want and how exactly did he get her number.

"Sango, today Miroku is going to ask you out for dinner, I want you to say yes." She walked further away from her friend feeling the need to shout some sense into Inuyasha's head through the phone. Why the hell would she want to go on a date with that pervert? He had been groping her the whole night she could only imagine what he'd do on a date.

"What! Hell no! Did you see how many times that pervert fucking felt me up? I'd kill Inuyasha, my---" Inuyasha burst into deep vice chuckles catching Sango off guard. She pulled the phone from her ear and looked at it as if he was sitting on the receiver laughing at her.

"What is so funny?" She asked darkly.

"Sango I know as of now Miroku has killed any chances he has to ever date you so I would like to make a deal."

"A deal?" Sango quirked an eyebrow a smirk crossing her lips.

"Revenge." Sango smiled letting the word ring in her ears as she repeated it. She liked the sound of it. Though she hated to admit it she had been obsessing in anger about how fluster Miroku had left her the first time they had met. The lecherous pig deserved what ever it was that was coming to him.

"You don't even have to do that much, so are you…"

"I'm in what do I do."

"When he asks you out suggest that you go on your date tonight. When he accepts like I know he will tell him that you want to go to your favorite restaurant; the Red Jalapeño. Miroku can't stand hot foods so make sure that you order the hottest foods on the menu. That'll make him drink like a fish. When he gets up to go to the restroom give me and Sakiya the heads up. We'll be in the booth in the far right hand corner by the window. We'll handle it from there, and you can just watch everything go down." He laughed.

"Okay. Bye Inuyasha."

"Bye, remember make it believable." She didn't know why exactly she Inuyasha and Sakiya were trying to exact revenge on Miroku but she knew why she was and that was all that mattered. Walking back to her friends she ignored their weird looks at the smile taking over her face.

"Sango?"

"Ready to go."

"Um, sure?" Rin asked walking beside Sango.

"Bye Miroku." The girls waved. Sango waved the longest and smiled exaggerating her exit as much as she could to catch his attention. He smiled not finding it weird that she suddenly forgave him for groping her the whole evening.

Getting into the limo with awkward silence over their head they sat staring at Sango as she watched her cell phone expectantly smiling harder when it rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello Sango dear." Miroku said cautious at how she would react to him having her number.

"Miroku!" She said in a disgustingly fake voice.

"I wanted to know if you would like to go out."

"Go out? Sure, how about tonight?" She said quickly before he could spew out the rest of his rehearsed line. Her friends almost had a heart attack. Had she just agreed to go out on a date with the man she hated?

"To-night?" He said surprised that she hadn't screamed at him for calling her.

"Yeah is there a problem?"

"No where would you like to go?"

"How about, Red Jalapeño? I'll meet you up there, say about… ten?" She said following the guide Inuyasha had given her. She smiled when he consented and said he'd meet her there. Cutting her phone off she laughed maliciously not noticing how her friends scooted to the end of the seat. This was going to be so much fun!

The Red Jalapeño

"I have to admit I thought that you wouldn't agree to coming on a date with me, let alone insist we come tonight." He said smirking taking a sip of his lemonade.

"Why would you think that?" She said laughing bitterly.

'Because you're a pervert?' She turned her head rolling her eyes. Looking around she looked around the restaurant nervous when she noticed that Sakiya and Inuyasha were no where to be found. Could Inuyasha have tricked her into a date with Miroku? Didn't Sakiya say that she had to stay behind and help the twin tramps clean up? She frowned picking up the menu looking for the spiciest food on the menu giving Miroku an occasional uh huh, and that's interesting as he rambled on.

"See anything good?" He said.

"Uh huh."

'Where are they?" She frowned hope leaving her.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sakiya pulled her skirt and shirt up a little higher exposing even more of her sun kissed flesh and let her hair down. Coming up the small ally she walked quietly avoiding the glass and wet puddles on the dented pavement. She ignored the pungent sent of the rotting trash as she approached a man that looked to be about thirty in a navy blue jumpsuit.

"Excuse me. I need help." She said smiling innocence into the man's green eyes. Her silver jade eyes gleamed purely against the moonlight flooded alleyway. The man looked at her ready to reject her plea for help because he was on his break until he saw her innocent face and short skirt. Looking at her long legs he rode her curves up to her thighs disappointed that he couldn't see more.

"Uh, what's the problem? Your car has a flat tire? There's a payphone can't you call a tow truck?" He asked as she led him further into the alley her skirt rising and falling as she walked. Stopping she pressed her body against the wall licking her full lips. Pulling his jump suit toward her she stopped just as their bodies would have met teasing him.

"You're the only one that can help me." She said unbuttoning his jumpsuit and running her hand through greasy hair. Grimacing she quickly put her hot face back on as his jump suit dropped around his ankles.

"What's your name?" He said. She rolled her eyes that he hadn't stepped out of his uniform yet.

"Does it matter love? I'm seventeen and willing." She said stepping further away from him smirking as he finally abandoned his clothes. She pursed her lips posing against the wall a lusty smolder on her face.

'Perverted piece of shit. If only Inuyasha would have let me do it my way I wouldn't have to do this.'

"Come here. You're not getting that far away from me you little cock tease." He said ready to taste her and feel her. She backed up more a look of disgust on her face. Smiling she pointed behind him. Turning around he began backing up as he gazed into blazing gold eyes. Before he could run from the floating eyes a fist shot out of the darkness sending him flying into darkness and a trash can. Pulling her skirt and shirt down she frowned at the scowling Inuyasha as she stepped into the jumpsuit.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked as if she didn't know. To him she was still that innocent thirteen year old that needed to be protected from the world. Even though he was only two years older than her he had to grow up quicker. That gave him that much more incentive to keep her oblivious to the world around her and watch her when ever her older brother wasn't around. She still grew up with the pain that he faced living in poverty with no parents and a brother. That's what made them such good friends when he and Miroku had met her. At least her brother took care of her, not that he needed his brother's help. He turned out just fine without that bastard.

"I didn't have to seduce the waiter to get his outfit." He said.

"I should hope not." She said laughing at his ensemble of a sombrero, a red bull fighter's outfit, a fake mustache complete with a red cape to match. Turning around he glared at her the outfit killing his mood.

"Besides you're the one that insisted that I let you handle all the physical work just incase that pedophile "over powered" me." She said her sentence meant to be angry and argument tempting, but his new clothes quickly erased any anger that was left in her.

"Do you find me amusing?" He immediately regretted asking the question as her laughter tripled in decibels.

"Yeah." She laughed pointing at his clothes as she put her hair pack up. Taking his sombrero off she put his hair up so that you couldn't see it under his hat.

"Come on we're late." She walked behind him her head down. What would he think of her if he knew?

"Quit slowin' around." he said rudely gaining her attention. She ran to catch up with him forcing the hurtful thoughts out of her head. Inuyasha reminded her so much of what she desperately wanted to forget. Grabbing the janitor's hat she placed it on her head.

Aroma ambushed Inuyasha as he walked into the restaurant with Sakiya following closely behind him. He smirked spotting Miroku and Sango in the middle of the room talking about whatever. Sitting next to the window he and Sakiya placed menu's on their faces as they began to spy.

Sango and Miroku

Finding everything she could Sango put the menu down as a waiter stood in front of them with a bull fighter outfit on, a cape, a sombrero, and a stupid looking fake mustache on. It wasn't too hard to try and find something on the menu; the whole menu was made with enough fire to kill a small animal.

"So are you ready to order ese?" The man said his accent horribly skewed. It sounded Scottish. He set some warm chips sprinkled with chili powder in a bowl and some cheese on the table. Sango looked around the restaurant again searching for Inuyasha and Sakiya. Her eyes passed over the table that Inuyasha and Sakiya said they would be in, then came back squinting. She hadn't even recognized the janitor and waiter to be her friends until she saw Sakiya waving and Inuyasha smirking. Smiling she turned to Miroku her hope renewed.

"I'm not very hungry." Miroku said the menu turning him off. He liked Mexican food but a meal that could make him cry was not his idea of the ideal dinner. Sango placed her hand on his putting on a pout.

"No, I insist that you eat. If you don't eat I'll feel selfish, after all I did pick the restaurant, please?" Miroku smiled rubbing the soft skin of Sango's hand as her eye twitched ever so slightly.

"Ok for you I will. I guess I can eat a little. Any suggestions?"

"Good, we'll have a salad and," She looked at the menu smirking as she came to the perfect meal.

"Dedos De El Diablo Con Pollo as our appetizer and for Miroku the Caliente Enchiladas." The waiter wrote it down then looked up startled.

"Are you sure Senorita?" The waiter asked. was not something that should be taken lightly. It was the spiciest thing on the menu. Miroku looked at the waiter nervously willing him to elaborate on his hidden warning.

'Doesn't caliente mean hot?' Miroku swallowed as the waiter filled his now empty cup.

"Of course I'm sure!" She said drinking her water.

"Ok I'll be about fifteen minutes with the appetizer." He said walking off abandoning his fake accent. Sango dipped her chips into the cheese and put it in her mouth. It took a while for her to feel it but the cheese already hot was spicy along with the chips and sizzled on her tongue as she swallowed. Coughing a bit she looked at the cheese with a serious eye waiting for her coughing to subside.

"Something wrong?"

"No, I love it." She said grabbing some more and putting it in her mouth. She did like it, unlike Miroku she loved spicy food, it fit her attitude so well. Smirking at Miroku she picked up the biggest chip she could find and smothered it in the fiery cheese. Holding it over one hand carefully she moved across the table smiling at Miroku.

"Try it Miroku." Miroku looked at it a hint of nausea in his face. He smiled reaching over the table so that she could slip the food into his mouth. She had ventured all the way over the table exposing more of her breast for him to see and was going to feed him; he didn't want to disappoint her.

'I can get through this. Payback is so close.' She thought as the fire of the food after a while began to gnaw at his tongue. He coughed relentlessly reaching for his cup and taking big gulps.

"Isn't that good?"

"Great." He said in a cool voice. Sango repeated this process until Miroku had finished both the chips and the cheese and gone through three more cups of lemonade. He sat back relieved that there was no more hot food for her to shovel into his mouth.

"That was great." He said his mouth still not quenched regardless of the many drinks he had drank.

"You're not full are you?"

"No." He said wondering why he told her the truth. It would have been safer to say yes.

"Good because here comes the appetizer!" She said moving the cups and bowls off the table so that the waiter could place the still sizzling skillet on the table. Seven green peppers cut down the center continued to cook on the hot skillet as the juices rolled down the sides and evaporated on the skillet, chicken smothered in cheese and rice was also on the skillet. Steam raised from the noisy meal into the waiter's face as the spicy scents made his eyes water.

"We're not supposed to eat the pepper are we?" He said as if that was completely unfathomable. Miroku looked into the skillet his stomach turning at the very scent.

"Yeah, let me show you." She said reaching into the skillet with a fork and stuck it into the jalapeno. Putting the jalapeño onto her saucer she reached back to get some chicken and put it in the middle of her split open jalapeño. She waited for it to cool off then took a bite of it. She looked up at the ceiling as if the mere taste of it sent her into ecstasy. She swallowed the fiery concoction enjoying the disgusted look on Miroku's face.

"Mexican food is my all time favorite." She said taking another bite. Despite himself Miroku felt obligated to eat the food. Mimicking her style of preparing the food for him to eat he stuck it into his mouth. As soon as the pepper touched his lips he burned. His eyes burned, his face burned, his tongue burned, and so did his lips. The food burned all the way down his stomach tearing his esophagus and burning the lining of his stomach. Seeing the pleased look on Sango's face he devoured three more drinking his drink after every bite he took no matter how small.

"Did you know," she stopped savoring the searing flavor on her tongue. "Did you know that Dedos De El Diablo Con Pollo means Fingers of the Devil in Spanish?"

"I :cough: couldn't imagine why." He said. She smiled picking up another pepper and eating. Through his red face and burning body he still had his sarcasm. She laughed a little and smiled preparing to drag him further into desperation and suffering.

"It's not in the sense of the color but more of the taste, the flavor," she licked a juice covered finger slowly "the burning sensation of it. The blaze it leaves on your tongue, on your lips and the trail of hell fire it leaves on the way to your throat. That fire and intensity it reminds me of doing the Tango." She touched her own burning lips and trailed a lone finger down the stretch of her neck. He looked at her swallowing the mass of food in his mouth. He didn't even taste it, her show was hotter than the food that he had just swallowed. He swallowed again letting his eyes linger on her and take in her beauty. His stomach filled with a new lust that he had never felt before. Yes, he wanted her body but he wanted something else that he could not identify. He looked from her eyes lost in something that she had brought on.

"Miroku?" She asked wanting him to look at her with that abashed look. But when he finally did join her eyes again he face was devoid of anything but smoothness and that charming smile. How did he do it? How did he maintain his emotions so well that his face was always sexy…

'Where did that come from?'

Eating four more and polishing off five more cups of lemonade he finally began to feel the pressure of his bladder. Wiping his flaming mouth he gladly excused himself from the table running to the bathroom. She smirked phase three was going along quickly now all they needed was the waiter to bring their meals and…

"Senorita! Your salad." The waiter said placing a fresh looking salad in front of her with strips of chicken in it and some salad ranch salad dressing. He Miroku enchilada complete with guacamole sour cream, and spicy rice in front of his seat.

"Thank you." She said. The waiter nodded and walked off. Quickly turning Inuyasha and Sakiya she gave them the thumbs up smiling as they ran over. Sakiya walked past them to the restrooms while Inuyasha stopped at the table.

"Inu---"

"Ssssh. Uh how can I help you Senorita?" He said eyeing another waiter as he walked past them.

"Ticket please." She said quickly catching onto his drift. Pulling out a tablet he placed it on her table also pulling out a bottle with no label. The liquid on the inside was pale white and thick. Shaking it up he poured the whole bottle of the slow pouring scentless liquid into Miroku's food mixing it in with enormous amount of rice that was in his plate. After he was done fixing the plate so that it didn't seem tampered with he put the empty bottle in his pocket and walked away smirking.

Sango looked at the ticket Inuyasha had given her and began to laugh at the words scribbled on it. Elmer's Insipid Miracle Laxative, make sure he eats it all.

Sakiya and Inuyasha

Sakiya stood in the middle of the two restroom doors waiting patiently turning her back and mopping with a mop she found every time a person came out of the men's restroom. Glancing back she smiled as Miroku came out of the restroom throwing a damp brown paper towel into the trash. When he left she turned back around mopping stopping once in a while to look up for Inuyasha.

Finally the grinning hanyou stepped behind the wall blocking the restrooms' entrances from the rest of the restaurant. He looked into her eyes communicating with his body as he began to remove his previous disguise excluding his pants. Reaching into her jumpsuit she pulled out another wrinkled jumpsuit handing it to Inuyasha. He stepped into the jumpsuit letting the fabric cover up his bare chest as Sakiya looked away.

"I know, you've never seen anything like it have you." He said smirking as she glared into his chest.

"Shut-up, I've seen better." She said smirking pulling out two folded sheets of paper from her pocket. He glared at her that was something he didn't want to know, he didn't need anymore people on his 'To Kill' list. She handed him one unfolding it so that the words "Out of Order" were showing on the outside. Reaching into the janitors' buggy where she found the mop she pulled out some tape and stuck the sign onto both of the door. Smiling at each other one last time they ran into their genders' bathroom.

Sakiya locked the door walking slowly her time limit not far from her mind. Looking at the bottom of the red stalls she looked for feet reassuring herself that she was alone in the bathroom. Walking to the paper towel dispenser she rapidly pressed on the black handle empting it onto the floor. Doing the same to the other one she picked up a hand full of the brown paper and kicked the door to the first stall open. Smiling she quickly piled all the paper into the toilet along with all the tissue in the tissue holder. She repeated this process for the five more of the toilets.

She had ran out of tissue and the last two had no tissue of its own so taking the hat off her head she squeezed in her hand putting a heel onto the handle and pushing it down. Dropping the hat in the bowl she quickly took off the jumpsuit giggling as she ripped it into separate pieces. Stepping into the last stall she flushed the toilet dropping the pieces in one at a time as the toilet tried to take down the first two arm pieces then began to chock on the legs and body part of the jumpsuit.

Water floated to the top of the bowl almost ready to spill over onto the floor. Going through and flushing each one she stood back watching her work. The toilets stalled for a while then promptly began spewing water onto the floor an in high. Laughing she unlocked the door stepping out and laughing as water followed her.

Inuyasha looked into the bathroom with a grin on his face. The possibilities were endless. Looking at his watch he frowned. Miroku would be here in any minute. Walking into the bathroom he began to unravel tissue into the toilet frowning at how much time it was taking. Flushing he watched the water slowly raise to the top and pool over the edge getting the bottom of his shoes wet. Doing four more he frown slowly slipped into a scowl as he looked at his watch again. He wasn't getting any where with this method. He still had three more to go.

Stopping he let his mind run with evil ideas and finally coming up with one he walked into the fifth stall cracking he knuckles and chuckling.

He laughed as he brought his fist down smashing the hard material of the bowl. The water dowsed the floor then after a while the damaged pipes began to spew water in every which way.

Walking into the other stall he kicked the pipes burst squirting water in random directions. He kicked a hole into the bottom of the bowl allowing the water to run out onto the floor. He walked out of the demolished bathroom like nothing had happened and the water rushing out from under the bathroom door was normal.

He looked at Sakiya smiling removing his wet jumpsuit. He looked at her and frowned that she was already in her clothes and they had come out at the same time.

"It's in the toilet." She said laughing as they ran out of the back exit and to the front to slash the tires of Miroku's limo.

Sango watched expectantly nibbling her salad as she watched Miroku shovel his tainted food bite by excruciating bite. She figured it was a good sign when his forehead became beaded with small drops of sweat. He pushed his plate away all of the food gone and patted his stomach.

"That was great." He said completely serious. He had expected the food to be spicy and it was but the rice, the rice was delicious. The thick light red almost pink sauce was the best, he had offered Sango some multiple times but she had shot each chance down quickly.

"I'm glad you liked it."

"Yeah the rice was the best part. You should have tried it." She laughed.

"I told you Mexican food was the best in the world." She took another bite of her salad boredly. Looking down at her hand which was now covered by his she, she stared at it her face indifferent.

"Maybe on our next date we can---" He sounded so sure it almost wanted to make her laugh in his face and she almost let her pinned up laughter go as the sweat bordering Miroku brow tripled and his words hung in his throat. His skin paled and he stood up straight removing his hand from hers as his stomach bubbled. He wiped his head and smiled at her simulated weird look.

"What'd you say?" She asked laughter teetering on her words.

"Uh I said…ooohh." With an arm that she could not see he clutched his churning stomach breathing slowly.

"N-nothing." He said wiping his drenched face.

"Something wrong Miroku?" He shook his head no quickly the bubbling growing. He stomached fought harder twisting and turning. He clenched his legs and braced himself. Sango took another bite of her salad and looked at his comical expression.

"Sure nothings wrong?" she asked smirking. He was in too much pain to see the trap that she had led him into.

"Excuse me." He said unable to stand it any more. Getting up he began to run mowing down anyone who stood in his way.

"Hey man what's your problem, hey, whoa!" a man holding a tray of now grounded food screamed at Miroku as he ran. Making it to the back of the restaurant he stepped onto the soggy carpet not conceding it as he sunk into it and it molded around his feet.

"No, no no no no!" He shouted reading the out of order sign on the door. He frowned as he farted and the pressure on his stomach tripled.

'Desperate times call for desperate measures." He thought turning to the women's bathroom and almost shitting on himself when it too said out of order. Turning quickly he raced to the front door decking two waiters and the maître d' on the way to his limo. Sango followed him slowly laughing leaving the bill money and the tip on the table as he exited. She joined Inuyasha and Sakiya as they howled at Miroku's screaming at his quadruple flat tire.

"What the hell happened to the tires!" Miroku screamed at the driver who was sitting in the car with all the doors locked and a petrified look on his face.

"I-I don't know. I was just sitting in the car waiting for you to come back when it started to rock and I heard some walking on the roof. I saw a white flash, and then the tires were flat." White flash! Miroku turned from the driver knowing exactly what happen, but he wasn't exactly in the ideal situation to say who it was. First he had to find a bathroom.

Hearing laughter in his hurry he still found time to turn around and look at who it was. Sakiya and Inuyasha waved. Sakiya pulled out a disposable camera and took pictures of his wide eyed desperate state.

"Fuuucck!" He shouted profanity long and drawled out into the night's brisk air. Inuyasha pointed to Sango then Sakiya and back at him then began laughing as Miroku took off down the street to the Shell praying that he made it on time.

"Inuyasha!" He shouted leaving behind his irritation that he could not express at the current moment.

"Is that bad?" Sango asked wiping tears from her eyes.

"Probably." Inuyasha laughed.

"Do you care? Hahaha! I got pictures." Sakiya laughed holding her camera in the air. Sango laughed along with Inuyasha as they walked to her limo their ribs hurting from their laughter.

"Haha, you guys need a ride?"

"I do." Sakiya said getting inside her limo putting her hands behind her head and closing her eyes she let the visions of Miroku tickle her into submission. Putting his arm on the door's opening Inuyasha looked inside a smile on his face. He stuck his hand inside and grasped Sango's.

"Thank you for your help Sango. Without you we wouldn't have been able to accomplish that." Sakiya opened one eye and looked at them.

"No it would have been possible, it just wouldn't have been that funny." She snickered.

"I was glad to. That pervert got what was coming to him." She said confidently thrusting her hand through the air, her mood electrified. They looked at her hints of smiles on their faces.

"I'll see you two later. Tell Rin my brother says yes and that he'll be at Now to be interviewed on Friday."

"Wow just like that?" Sango said, she figured it would be at least a year before she got to interview him.

"My brother plans his whole life out. He's a walking PDA. I can't figure out why everyone likes him so much, I mean who wants to hang with someone who carries a plan of their life from now to the day they die in their back pocket?" Inuyasha said that scowl coming over his face again.

"Maybe it's because he's the sexiest man in the world." Sakiya said smirking as Inuyasha glared at her.

"I'll be sure to tell him you think so." She sat up putting her arms at her side.

"You better not!" she said throwing the camera at his head. He caught the camera in his right hand and tossed it to Sango opting not to give Sakiya her weapon back.

"Goodbye ladies. Oh and when you get home tell Kagome to have good dreams about me." He grinned waving as he walked to his car.

"How do you know she's not already asleep?" Sango hollered to him feeling slightly disturbed at Inuyasha's cocky line, funny as it was it was still a sexual reference involving him and her friend and that didn't exactly make for good visions. He stopped and turned to look at Sango. Sure she knew that Kagome and Rin would be sitting on the couch staring at the door ready to pounce on her for details as soon as she walked in.

"She's not sleep. She's at home with Rin waiting for you to get home, so that you can talk about some girly junk concerning you and Miroku." He said stating it like it was a scientific fact that he had been studying all his life, and in a way he had. That was just the kind of guy Inuyasha was. You would think that his knowledge of how girl's tick would help him in his quest to capture somebody that doesn't want to be caught. Yet with Kagome none of that seemed to be relevant.

'Unbelievable. Does he get this stuff from a book or something? If this is what Kagome has to deal with, I feel for her.' Sango stared at him wondering what else he knew. He smirked at her nodding yes to his "infinite knowledge." She rolled her eyes and shut the door in face telling the driver to drive. She had to much adrenaline in her system from the sabotage of her date to have it sucked away by Inuyasha's cockiness.

"Don't listen to Casanova." Sakiya said crossing her legs in the spacious limo.

"I'm not. If he knew so much about women Kagome wouldn't have slapped him the first time she met him." They laughed a bit at this. Sango's laughter tripled and she looked at Sakiya fighting for her words.

"But he sure knows a lot about revenge." Sakiya laughed remembering her camera again. This date would be one date she'd remember forever, especially with twenty-seven pictures to keep her memory fresh.

"Sango?" Sakiya said the laughter in her face completely drained.

"Hmm?"

"I'm really sorry about what those two bitches said about your clothes. Their target was really me and you just kinda got caught in the crossfire." She said looking at Sango with sorrowful eyes.

"I know. Don't be sorry, I know that was the closet they had been to anything fashionable. It just pisses me off that I didn't get them back in some way." Sakiya smirked softly. It was almost bitter sweet because she owed it all to Kouga.

"Kouga took care of that for me."

"Kouga?" She turned to her. There must be another Kouga someone but by the way she flinched at saying his name it must have been the same one.

"I'll tell you about it later. I know I'll have to recite it again to Kagome and Rin." She said. She couldn't believe she was speaking his name without spitting hate all over it either.

"You can tell me tomorrow when I tell Kagome about the great date I had today. I can't believe we did that." Sango laughed again and closed her eyes.

"Well Miroku's always been a sucker for pretty women. It's usually his downfall." Usually she didn't like recalling her disastrous dates all over again for her friends. She just wanted to forget them. But this would be one date that she would never get tired of talking about.

Shell's Unsanitary Bathroom

Miroku weakly pushed open the grimy stall door holding his stomach, the muscles in his stomach completely shot. He looked into the dirt smudged sink and cut the water on letting it run until the water was no longer a rusty red color.

'She tricked me.' He thought distastefully. She had joined with the dark side but he wasn't made at her. What a sneaky viper. It only made her more desirable as something he could not have. He had never experienced anyone like Sango. She was like riding a roller coaster blindfolded. He loved that about her. He wouldn't let her get away because of a very embarrassing mishap. He'd get her. Only a woman could make him do something that he hated with an ardor like Sango had done. As for Inuyasha, he'd get him back it wasn't over by a mile.

Speaking of a mile did he really have to slash his limo driver's tires? He would have to walk home and there apartment wasn't really around the corner. It made his stomach hurt just thinking about it.

"I will get you Inu---" His stomach roared and gurgled painfully still full of Mexican food that he had chocked down for Sango. Turning he ran back into the stall his body willing to rid the contents of his stomach whether or not he had made it into the bathroom. He cursed into the night all of his colorful words followed by Inuyasha's name, for he knew that somewhere the hanyou was laughing and living it up at his expense.

His stomach growled again and he felt nausea come over him. This was going to be a long night.

Thank You:

animefreak321654- Yeah Kouga kinda did deserve what he got. He did kind of rub her the wrong way. But I'd like to think he made up for it in this chapter. Yeah his mind wasn't in the right place but his heart was.

Jade- Thank you so much. I'm glad you like my stories so much. You should have seen my face when I read your review. Lol

Shamanic Destiny- I kno right. I love her so much, though in this story she a little more fiery than usual. I got the whole bad attitude thing down but the strength, I'm still working on it. Hot sauce in toothpaste… O.O Eggs in shoes 0.o Wow. You do that stuff to your brother? I bet he sleeps with one eyes open. LOL. Thank for the review.

Kura-chan15- I'm glad this stuff is funny and not just funny to me. Doesn't it suck when you tell a joke and you're the only one that laughs at it? Yeah the comma thing, it's always been a problem, you should see my English papers grammar wise. Atrocious. But I will work on it.

cookies-will-invade – I got a brownie, I got a brownie! Lol. It makes me happy that this is your AU. I'm tryin to write an Inu story that's not AU but it's hard.

toxiclollipop- Good I'm happy you like it. And I think its cool that you reviewed all the chapters. So thank you. Be careful with scream thing you could kill someone. Seriously. LOL

SilverWolf2214- Can you tell that I used part of your suggestion? Yep that whole Sango agreeing to go out with Miroku thing was all you. Yeah Kikyo is a little bitchy, I'll have to get someone to bring her down a notch.

Sickmuffin- Thank you, thank you. I think that if I had of surrounded the whole story around Inu and Kag it would have been boring, though they are the foundation for the story. Sakiya, gotta love her right? I wanted to make her Inu's little sister but then I wanted her to have the weaknesses of a human for later situations. So I compromised and made them close like brother and sister, complete with overprotective attitudes, and arguments. I think Kouga's a good character too and he shouldn't always be portrayed as a prick. Thanks for the advice on not using too much technical stuff. Now that I think about it you're completely right. As for the way Kag takes pictures I just want all of my readers to be able to picture it how Kagome pictures it in her mind. So thank you again and I kno you'll get better at photography.

Snoochie- I loved the fact that you loved it. And I'm glade you love long chapters becuz this one was 53 pages in word, so that's good to kno. I didn't even add all that I was going to add because I thought it would be way too long.

Jokermanequin- Your name will keep showing up at the end of the chapter if you keep sending me these good reviews. Where do I come up with this stuff? Experience. It's an everyday thing. LOL. I think I inherited that gene from my momma. She spits out comebacks faster than I do. Thanks I thought adding the high school thing would make them seem better connected and show you how deep their friendships are. Don't worry about not reviewing ch. 3 I'm glad that you liked it. Rin will get a better part especially in the next chapter. Hell the whole chapter is about her and you know who. Thanks for the compliments. Review again!

Toya's Girl- Thank you so much. 4 reviews wow, you kick ass.

fallenangel7583- Arrogant? There isn't even a word to describe what Inuyasha is. He's a mess is what he is. As for Sakiya, yeah she is a little fireball. I almost feel bad for Kouga, almost. Curiosity killed the cat, or in his case Curiosity castrated the wolf. LOL. I hope this prank was childish enough for you. A classic but very deadly. I read your new chapter and yes I loved it. So come back soon from your trip. The other girl? Kagome pretty much squashed any more lust for her.

Hey guys, I got eighteen reviews this time. Wow thank you that's the most I ever got at a time. I know I said that Sesshomaru would have a big part in this but I had to downsize his part a bit. It didn't fit in with the new scheme of things. But next chapter will be an all Rin and Sess chapter. Sure the others will be in it but don't you think its time we get inside Rin's head and let Sesshomaru torture her with his sexiness. I'm upset guys, I want to make chapter six a chapter where the whole gang would go dancing (at separate places) on dates. Well that was going to involve lyrics but now I can't because has made a rule that says we can't. So, yeah that upsets me but it's alright, I will jump this hurdle too. While reading my story I want all of you to notice and remember some things. Like the fact that Inu can't stand silence, and that gauze on Sakiya's arm remember that. And some of the characters that I've written about that have left the stories remember them some of them will be making a larger than life comeback. So keep a sharp eye for little things in the story.

Thank you everyone for your reviews I really appreciate another batch of flameless reviews. Please review again tell and me anything you think would make the story even better. So hurry up and review, review, review they complete me. LOL. I gotta go, I'm off to work on Bedroom Robbers one of my earlier fanfics.

P.S- Make my day and review.
