Ending of last chapter:

"Tonight's dinner is being held in honour of Kagome, who is soon to be my sister in law, and my brother Inuyasha. We are also here to celebrate the merge of two companies."

"What?" Kagome whispered. She couldn't believe what was happening, her mother was going to give their company away.

Chapter 20 What's going on?

"I am please to announce the merger of K & S corporation with the Inu corporation." Sesshomaru said proudly. Kagome looked to her mother, she couldn't believe it, her mother was smiling. She was going to lose everything her father had worked so hard to create. Kagome stood, and Inuyasha instinctively stood by her side with his hand on her shoulder.

"Would someone please tell me what is going on here." Kagome demanded sternly, she seemed to take on the roll of a business women. Inuyasha was yet again amazed by his mate.

"Kagome dear, if you would take your seat everything will be explained soon enough." Margaret said softly. Kagome sat and so did Inuyasha.

"Kagome your father started the K & S corporation so that he could preserve what's left of our historical community and restore them to their former glory. That is one goal of Inu corp. and now that you are to marry my brother, a merge will make both these companies stronger, they will be able to do more." Sesshomaru said calmly. He was going to explain this to Kagome and Inuyasha earlier but Amy wanted it to be a surprise. Amy stood next to her husband now ready to take control of the situation.

"Kagome your mother will still own the corporation, but now she will just have a business partner. It will be safer for her, and someday you and Inuyasha will run both corporations together." Amy sat back down.

"I understand," was all Kagome said.

"Now, on with our meal." Sesshomaru rung a small bell and servants came out with all kinds of food.

Kagome looked all around the table, everyone was smiling and chatting to each other, but something didn't feel right to Kagome. There was something strange about this whole situation, she excused herself for a moment and left the room. Inuyasha watched her leave and then excused himself as well. He could tell from Kagome's scent that something was bothering her but what could it be. She didn't seem to like the fact that the to companies were banding together as one, Inuyasha could see why, but the question is why would that bother Kagome?

Inuyasha found Kagome by the front stairs. She was sitting on them thinking. Inuyasha watched her tuck back a stand of hair from her face. She was wearing a knee high dress, that was a forest green, it clung to her curves perfectly. She had on green pumps that matched her dress. She also wore the jewelry that Inuyasha had given her. She wore her hair down but it was curled. She sighed and then looked up, she patted the step next to her.

"Mate what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha could you tell they were hiding something? I know they are, something must have happened for this merger to come on so quick. My mother would have told me sooner if not." Kagome looked at the floor.

"Kagome they will tell us sooner or later, but lets forget about it for now and enjoy the night."

Inuyasha got up and stretched out his hand towards Kagome, she gracefully took it and they walked back to the dining room. Everyone was just starting to eat, after the supper ended Sesshomaru tapped his wine glass with a spoon and stood up. He cleared his throat and spoke, everyone raised their wine glasses.

"I would like to make a toast to my brother and his future wife, I wish you happiness and peace. I know you will have good times and bad times, but you have to remember that your love is pure and you will always have each other." Everyone took a sip of their wine.

"Now if everyone would like to join us in the den." Amy got up and followed her husband into the den. For the next couple of hours Kagome and Inuyasha spent meeting and talking to various business people, until finally everyone left. Amy, Sesshomaru, Kagome and Inuyasha were the only four left in the den.

"Sesshomaru we need to talk." Kagome said.

"I know I have some explaining to do Kagome. First I know my son told you about a gang, that gang is called the Inu gang. Its rivals are the wolves, that's all I can tell you. Now about the merger, some attempts have been made on your mother's life. I know this may come to as a shock to you, we thought this would be the best for her. If people know that she is being protected they will not try anything now. I think it's time that we all head to bed now, good night Kagome, and Inuyasha." Sesshomaru finished, and then left the room. Amy said good night to Inuyasha and Kagome and followed her husband to bed.

Inuyasha picked up Kagome after they were alone and walked to their bed room. He went into the washroom and got changed and came out to find Kagome changed and in bed. Inuyasha

got in next to his mate, and wrapped an arm around her. Kagome turned around in his hold, and sobbed into Inuyasha's bear chest. Both fell asleep a little while later.

"Where am I?" Kagome said aloud. She looked around but saw nothing familiar. A white light was coming from somewhere, she started to walked towards it, but something stopped her. A voice, her mates voice, she turned around and started to run towards it. She opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure, when her eyes focussed she saw Inuyasha. A few tears ran down Kagome's face.

"I hate it when you cry." Inuyasha whispered.

"Inuyasha ." Tears flowed freely down her face, Kagome felt so weak and strong at the same time. She didn't understand what was happening.

"I almost lost you. I promised I would never leave you, have I ever broken a promise? I would have followed you."

"I know. " Inuyasha kissed Kagome on the lips. Her breathing becoming stronger with each passing second. Suddenly everything went black.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted.

Kagome was now in a room, and she felt so tired. Her whole body was covered in sweat, and was sore. Kagome looked to her side Inuyasha was standing back on to her, but he turned around. He was holding a new born pup in his arms. It had silver hair, little tiny Inu ears and brown eyes. Inuyasha handed the pup to Kagome and sat down next to her.

"Here is your mommy, son." Inuyasha spoke to the pup.

Again everything went black, Kagome heard screaming and crying. Next she could smell something burning, she could feel the heat rising. Kagome ran to her pup's room. She found her son under his bed crying. She pick him up and ran towards the door, but it wouldn't open. She ran to the back door it too was blocked. Kagome then tired the under ground tunnel that lead out of her house, but it was no use. She could hear villagers yelling, some saying, "Your Inuyasha isn't here to save you now", and others,"die bitch, die".

Kagome sat on the floor and formed a shield around her and her pup. She held it until the flames died and the smoke cleared, then she stood up. The villagers, still standing around the house, backed away. Some tried to flee, but it was useless, Kagome had put up a barrier around them. Her eyes started to glow an eerie pink color.

"After all these years of protecting and healing you, this is how you repay me and my family." Kagome shouted with raged, her powers surged inside her. She was ready to unlease them, but a flash of silver caught her eye and she opened her barrier to her mate.

"Kagome stop, this is all a trap, these villagers are being controlled. Hunny stop it, your scaring our pup." Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then dropped her barrier completely. Inuyasha pulled her into a hug.

Kagome awoke the next morning, everything she dreamed last night still fresh in her mind. She shook Inuyasha, and he opened his eyes. Kagome told him all about the dreams she had and then they talked for a little while.

Someone knocked on their door shortly after they finished their conversation, and Inuyasha told he or she to come in. It was Margaret. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Kagome I hope the news last night wasn't to much for you." Margaret begun.

"At first I found it hard to get my head around it all but now everything is clear. Sesshomaru will be able to protect you from any harm, it is for the best." Kagome replied.

" I am glad that you understand Kagome, I hate the fact that I wasn't able to tell you until now.

Well you two better get dressed and come down for breakfast." Margaret got up and left the room. Kagome waited for her mother to shut the door, and then she turned to Inuyasha.

"Kagome what does the K & S stand for?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh my, the company name, it drove me nuts when I was younger. It stands for Kagome & Sota, my dad added the S after my brother was born. People would say ' Your the Baby K!' It's dumb, but that's how I got my nickname from my dad. My dad loved both Sote and me so much, I remember when I was about 6 and a half years old, dad let me go to his work.."

FlashBack

"Now Kagome dear don't touch anything." A man spoke to a young, Kagome.

"I know Daddy." Kagome giggled. "One, I'm not to touch anything breakable, two, I am not to wander away from you or Joe, and three, you love me no matter what." Kagome smiled at her father.

"You're getting to old, my baby girl." Kagome's father picked her up in his arms.

"I'm not a baby." Kagome pouted, but then kissed her dad on the cheek and got down from his arms.

EFB

"I remember him telling me, "Baby K I'll be back in a minute. You stay right here." Kagome was now sitting in Inuyasha's lap.

"What happened next?" Inuyasha asked.

"I saw something sticking out from underneath a door, it was shiny. So being who I am, I went to see what it was..."

FlashBack

Kagome walked towards the door and tried to pull the shiny thing out from under it, but it wouldn't move. So she tried to open the door and to her surprise, it opened. She walked into a bright room, she saw candy everywhere on shelves, in bottles, on tables and even some on the floor. Kagome walked over to the counter and reached up to get a piece, when someone grabbed her hand. Kagome turned around and saw her father. He looked really angry, he pulled her out of the room and slammed the door, and locked it.

"Kagome what have I told you about wandering away!" His voice was stern, Kagome looked up at him and his eyes soften.

"Daddy I only wanted some candy." Kagome whispered.

"Baby if you wanted some candy you should have come to me. You know that you never take candy from strangers or a strange place." He hugged Kagome. "You could have gotten hurt, what would I have done without my Baby K."

"I promise daddy, I'll never go in there again." Kagome kissed her dad on the cheek and then went to play with Joe.

"I hope you never have to my baby girl."

EFB

"So do you know what's in the there now?" Inuyasha asked after a minute of silence.

"No, I haven't gone to that place since my Dad died." A tear ran down Kagome's cheek, but she was ok, for now.

"What happened at the mall was strange, with the gangs." Inuyasha changed the subject.

"Inuyasha, we both know that Inu means Dog." Kagome said quickly.

"So?" Inuyasha didn't know what Kagome was getting on with now.

"What if the Inu gang is your gang, and the wolf gand is Kouga's or something, that is why

Sesshomaru couldn't tell us much. Sure right now, I'd say we already know too much."

Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.

"I guess we will have to wait and see won't we." Inuyaha kissed Kagome on the lips, but she broke it.

"What if we don't live lo.." Inuyasha put his finger to her lips.

"Kagome lets just live this moment right now. Ok?" Kagome recaptured Inuyasha's lips, he licked her lips, she opened her mouth to his sweet tongue. He tasted sweet but spicy at the

same time. Kagome sighed into his mouth...

The next two days flew by, more shopping was done, gift wrapping, tree trimming/ decorating, and it was now the night of the Christmas ball. Kagome, Andrea, Aalyah, Margaret and Amy were on one floor getting ready while the guys were on another. The Ball started at 7:30, there was going to be a meal, a show and then a dance.

Around 7:00 then men were all waiting down stairs in their tuxes. Each women was going to come down the stairs one by one. First Amy came down wearing a dark green strapless dress, that went past her knees, she had on shoes and a perse to match. Her hair was tied into a twist. Sesshomaru met her at the bottom of the stairs and then walked out the door to the limo. Next Margaret came down wearing a dark green long sleeve dress that reach her ankles. She had her hair pulled back into a bun. Sota met his mom at the bottom of the stairs and they walked out to the limo also. Next Aalyah came down the stairs she wore a extravagant red halter dress that came to here knees, the hem was horizontal. Her hair was curled, Jordan whispered something in her ear as they walked to the limo. Next Andrea came down over the stairs she wore a black spaghetti strapped dress that went down to her mid calves. She also wore white gloves, and her hair was in a beautiful up doo. Mike met her and they went to go get into the limo. Lastly, Kagome walked down over the stairs. She was wearing the light pink dress that her and her mother had found, and fixed up. She had on high heels to match with a purse. It was off the shoulders, with a low back, and would end just below Kagome's knees.

"You look beautiful." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled and then walked out to the waiting limo.

They climbed in and left for the Christmas Ball.

The limo pulled up to a ski lodge not to far from Sesshomaru's mansion. Lights hung from the roof, they made the snow glisten. Everyone walked into the lodge and their mouths nearly dropped to the floor. Windows circled the entire room, with little white lights strung around them. Tables were set up, with white table cloths and candles on them. A jazz band played softly in the corned, and a large hard wooden dance floor was set up in the middle of the room. Different scenes were set up to take pictures, and a beautiful 18 century chandler hung in the middle of the room. A small stage stood off to the side, Kagome guessed it was for the entertainment.

Inuyasha and Kagome were last to check their coats, and then followed their families to a table. She spotted Erie and her friends just a couple of tables away form her. She waved and they motioned for her to come sit with them, but she shook her head no. She wanted to be with her family. Soon the lights were dimmed and a man appeared on the stage.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 45th annual Christmas Ball. Tonight we will be having some great entertainment, the Dunwater Drama Group will be putting on a very exciting play for us. Then we will be picking this years Winter Queen and King, and they will start off the dance for us. So sit back and enjoy the show." The man stepped off stage and took his seat at the head table.

Everyone clapped, and the food started to be served. A young girl walked on to the stage, she had bushy hair, and wore all black. She sat down in the middle of the stage and started to speak.

"Hey folks, Rita here, just giving you all the 411 on what's going on." The audience started to laugh and clap. The girl stopped and waited for the room to settle again.

"Aalyah she looks just like you, well the younger you." Andrea whispered.

"Shh." Aalyah hissed back.

"Ok now, I hope you people won't do that every time I stop talking." Again Rita stopped and the crowd laughed. "Ok, I get it, I know you think I'm hilarious, but the show is even better. So I present to you an Analia original drama. When Stanley met Jade, no just kidding. I proudly announce The true love of Jade and Stanley." The crowd gave one last cheer and Rita left the stage.

(A/n Instead of writing out a full play I decided to just skip to the ending of it.)

Stanley: I love you Jade.

Jade: I love you to Stanley, but I must go back to my time.

Stanley: No, Jade, I love you! Will you marry me? ( Takes Jades hands in his, and places a ring on her finger.)

Jade: Oh Stanley! I'll never leave you. ( Kisses Stanley on the lips.)

(Music starts to play, but it's not any of kind sappy music you usually hear at the end of a play. It's punk rock!)

Jade walks towards Stanley who had back away from her. She starts to dance, and then they come together and dance. The lights go out, and all the cast comes up onto the stage. They get a standing ovation. Kagome was almost crying from laughing so hard, Inuyasha whipped a few tears away from his face.

( A/n I know that you people must be thinking holy crap Stephanie, why would they get a Standing O! But the play is really very funny, but I don't feel like writing the whole thing out and plus it would take up 8 pages! So :P)

"Now, we are going to announce the Winter King and Queen!" The man was once again back on the stage. A satin bag full of what Kagome guess the names of everyone here. She crossed her fingers that someone she knew would win.

"Could Mike. T, please come to the stage." The man said. Mike stood up and walked to the stage. His smiled at the crowd. "Congratulations you are this years Winter King and now to pick you a Queen." The man put his hand in the bag and drew another name. "Let's see, Ayumi. B is your new queen." Ayumi walked to the stage, her face red as a tomato. A crown was place on the King and Queen's head. Mike put out his hand for Ayumi to take, she followed him to the dance floor and they shared the first dance together. Andrea watched as her boyfriend slowly moved across the floor. She wasn't jealous that he was dancing with someone else, but she wasn't enthused about it either. Andrea put on a smile and clapped and her boyfriend dipped Ayumi as the song ended.

"Now if everyone would like to join me and my beautiful wife on the dance floor, the dance can begin." The man left the stage and walked to the dance floor with his wife by his side. Other couples soon joined them. Kagome stood, she turned to look at Inuyasha, he was smiling, they walked to the dance floor. Kagome put her left hand in his right, Inuyasha put his other hand around her waist and Kagome put her right hand on his shoulder. They started off doing a basic type of swing, but soon both were in full swing. (Pardon the Pun LOL) A circle formed around the two, Inuyasha lifted Kagome into the air, he then brought her back to the floor and they went into a sling shot and then a jockey step. Inuyasha brought Kagome into a round the world, when her feet were back on the floor, and she kick her foot out. Inuyasha dipped Kagome low to the floor, and she arched her back. The song ended and everyone clapped. Kagome and Inuyasha stood up, and did a little bow. Both were very much out of breath and were panting.

Inuyasha pecked Kagome on the lips, she smiled at him. A slow song started to play and Inuyasha took Kagome back into his arms. Everyone who was once watching were now dancing with their partners again. Kagome's friends started to dance towards her and Inuyasha.

"Kagome when did you become such a good dancer?" Erie asked, who was dancing with some random guy.

"Erie you know I could always dance pretty well." Kagome stuck her tongue out at her friend.

"Inuyasha you were awesome!" Yuka said, she was dancing with the guy form the mall.

"Umm, thanks?" Inuyasha was really not use to all this attention.

After an hour of so dancing Kagome and Inuyasha went to sit down. Kagome's side was throbbing, she wished she never had to try that last lift, but she didn't mind the pain. She was with her mate and that was all that mattered. Inuyasha left Kagome at the table and went to get some punch for them both. As soon as Inuyasha was out of sight Hojo walked toward Kagome, and then sat down next to her. Kagome said hello and carried on small talk with him.

"So Kagome I see you and Inuyasha are having a great time!" Kagome raised an eyebrow towards Hojo. His voice seem different then before and it looked like he hasn't slept for a couple of days.

"Why yes Hojo, me and my ma..ahh..fiancee are having a wonderful time." Kagome said to him.

"I think you would have had a better time with me." Hojo hissed.

"Is that so!" Kagome wanted to scream at Hojo but she kept herself calm.

"Yes, and I think you would be better off with me!" Hojo said this a little louder.

"Hojo, I am going to ask you to leave right now before I get angry." Kagome's eyed Hojo as his hand went into a fist.

"I also think I would be better in bed, I know you two are sleeping together." Hojo spat.

"Hojo what me and Inuyasha do is none of your business. I am very sorry that I blew off our dates Hojo, but I had more important things to attend to. Goodbye Hojo, don't bother me, or next time, I won't hold Inuyasha back from beating the shit out of you." Kagome got up and walked away from him.

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, he heard the whole thing but said nothing. It was going to be hard for them to live in the feudal era, because Inuyasha was a Hanyou and she was a human miko, she would have to get use to this kind of treatment. People will be hunting them for the rest of their lives. Inuyasha handed Kagome a drink. She drank it in one gulp and then hugged Inuyasha.

"You did good." Inuyasha said into her ear. Inuyasha was blinded momentarily by a flash, Kagome's mother had gotten out the camera and was now taking pictures of everything.

"Kagome dear, why don't you and Inuyasha stand in front of some of the scenes and we get some photos, for you to bring back to your friends." Margaret smiled at her daughter.

"Ok mom." What started out to be a few pictures turned out to be a photo shoot. Inuyasha walked towards the coat check, he needed to get more film. Mean while Kagome had gone to the bath room to freshen up. Kagome walked into the bath room and turned on the water. She didn't know why but the sound of water always calmed her down.

Suddenly hand went around Kagome's mouth. The she was dragged towards a stairway, Kagome kicked and tried to scream, but it was useless. Now another person was tapping her feet and hands, with duck tape. Kagome tried to scream again hoping Inuyasha's sensitive ears would hear her, but a piece of tape quickly deafened the sound. The first person hit Kagome over the head and she was out like a light. The two men lifted Kagome up and walked up the stairs with her, they exited the stairs and went into one of the hotel rooms.

Kagome didn't stay unconscious for long, when she awoke, she was on a bed and her hands and feet were tied together. Kagome was starting to get sick of all this bullshit that was going on in her life. She didn't even feel afraid, she felt angry if anything. She tired to wiggle her hands out of the tape but it was useless. A man walked out from the bathroom, wearing nothing but a robe, and a mask. He made his way closer to Kagome, as he got closer to her, his hand ran up the side of her leg. Kagome rolled her eyes, and then moved her legs from his touch. He reached for the tape on her mouth and gently took it off. Kagome was starting to get annoyed, he started to rub her cheek.

"You know you are starting to get on my nerves." Kagome hissed, and she pulled away from his touch.

"My dear, tonight you shall be mine." He whispered. His voice was deep and unnatural.

"You don't know how many times I have heard that one before." Kagome spat back at him.

"Well your mate wont save you this time." The man got closer to her.

"Again I have heard that one before."

The man pulled his mask off to revel his face, Kagome's eyes widened. It was Hojo, but why? She shut her eyes and opened them again, but it was true.

"Hojo why?" Kagome's voice came out in nothing more then a whisper.

"You want to know why? You blew me off too many times to count, I fell in love with you! You were the one person I couldn't have! You are my one desire!" Hojo was shouting, and was moving closer to Kagome at the same time. "It's time."

Kagome watched everything as if she was standing on the other side of the room. First Hojo sat her up, he then kissed her neck, and up to her lips. Kagome screamed, but that only allowed him access to her mouth. He broke their kiss and lick his lips.

"I have waited three years to taste you." Hojo reached behind Kagome's back and started to unzip her dress.

"Hojo, stop, this is not you. Please Ho..." Hojo slapped Kagome across the face, she was shocked.

"Kagome I'm sorry. I can't!" Kagome recognized Hojo's true voice, he was being controlled by something, probably the demon that is after Kagome.

"That is it Hojo, fight the demon inside. Don't let him take over your soul." Kagome was pushing him on.

"DON'T LISTEN TO THE BITCH, HOJO, SHE IS ONLY TRYING TO TRICK YOU." Hojo's voice was now deep again. Kagome focussed a little of her power and she could see a demon arua around him. She could see the emotions running across his face, he was fighting a battle that Kagome knew he wouldn't be able to win, but it could buy her some time. Hojo rolled off of Kagome, and losened the ropes around her legs, but he fell off the bed to the floor, holding his head.

"Kagome run, get the fuck out of here, I can't beat him." Hojo looked up at Kagome. She didn't move. "RUN!" He shout, Kagome didn't look back as she ran through the door. She could here things being broken inside the room. She ran down the hall and pushed the elevator buttom, she heard foot steps coming towards her. The doors to the evelvator opened and Kagome was yanked in, right as Hojo appeared from around the corner. Kagome looked up into the face of Inuyasha, she was breathing hard, and tears were running down her cheeks.

"Your safe now." Inuyasha hugged Kagome.

"What took you so long?" Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru wouldn't let me chase after you right away. He said let his son take care of it."

"Then what took them so long?"

"Let's get you cleaned up." Kagome and Inuyasha exited the elevator on the main floor, and went straight for the washroom. Inuyasha wiped the blood from Kagome's lips. He ran his thumb over the bump on the back of Kagome's head, she winced. Kagome shook her head saying it was nothing.

"Now, tell me what happened." Inuyasha demanded. Kagome told him everything, at the end of her story, Inuyasha looked like he was going to kill someone.

"Inuyasha I'm ok, now tell me why it took you so long to come and save me. It's not like you to wait so long." Kagome smiled at Inuyasha and leaned her head on his chest.

"They found a note saying "IF YOU GET INVOLVED SHE DIES!". I didn't want to lose you, so I tried going about this situation Sesshomaru's way, but after waiting a half an hour, I decided to come and save you. The probably caught Hojo by now." Inuyahsa kissed Kagome on the fore head. "You need to stop getting into trouble."

"Well if I stop getting into trouble, how are we going to have any fun." Kagome sighed, she could here music, it was one of her favourite songs. She hadn't heard this song in so long. Kagome took Inuyasha's hands in hers and lead her back to the Ball, a DJ was now playing to give the band a break. Inuyasha took Kagome into his arms and dance slowly to the beat of the song.

While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

"You are all I need Kagome." Inuyasha whispered in Kagome's ear, it sent chills down her spine.

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

"I don't know how I was so blind." Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer to him, even though it wasn't possible. Kagome kissed Inuyasha softly on the lips, and he deepened it. Inuyasha explored Kagome's mouth, she tasted sweet, and it drove Inuyasha mad. They broke apart panting for air.

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

Inuyasha kissed Kagome on the lips, he nibbled on her lower lip. Kagome's breaths started to get faster. Only one person knew how to get to her, and it was Inuyasha.

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The song ended and all of the other couples split apart and walked off the floor, leaving the people who wanted to dance some more on the floor. A faster upbeat came on, but Inuyasha still stayed on the floor dancing slowly together. Sesshomaru walked towards the couple, he didn't want to ruin their fun but he had some important news for them. He tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder, Inuyasha growled.

"If you're asking to cut in she's mine." Inuyasha said.

"I would like to inform you that we caught Hojo." Inuyasha spun around, with Kagome still in his arms." Kagome you are going to answer some questions like before, but we will do all that later. Now when we found Hojo, the demon that had possessed him had already left his body. He thinks most of it was just a dream, and we are going to keep it like that for now. Also we have given him a chain, so he should be fine. You two have a good night. Amy and I will see you at home." Sesshomaru started to walk away.

"Thank you Sesshomaru." Kagome said quietly, but she knew he would hear her.

For the rest of the night Kagome, and Inuyasha enjoyed themselves, with their friends. They left the ball around 2:30am. Hojo, Yuka, Ayumi, and Eri all went to their hotel rooms, and the others piled into a taxi to go home. As they walked into the house Kagome heard Sesshomaru, Amy and her mother in the living room, but she decided to go right to bed with Inuyasha. She really didn't feel like getting into any big conversations right now. Despite the fact that Kagome had been almost raped again, she had a good night. A little while later Kagome and Inuyasha were snuggling in bed. Tomorrow was Christmas eve, and they had a lot to do.
