Question, Answer, and Info

I know! I know! I haven't updated….and truthfully. I wasn't planning on doing it…until I came back and looked at all the reviews that I have received. I read a few of them and realized that it isn't fair to leave you guys waiting, never to know what happened. And upon thinking it over, I realized that I wanted to finish it as well. So IWILL be finishing this story! I AM SO SORRY FOR ALL THE WAITING!

Kagome sat, waiting patently for Aunt Mildred to seat herself in the stretch limbo so they could depart to the Christmas party. Sighing she looked out the window, wondering why they needed a limbo when the party was the next house down. It all seemed a little excessive.

Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, Kagome smiled. Though normally she wouldn't say things like this about herself, but she really did look beautiful. Half of her hair was pulled back into a looping bun, while the rest was left to cascade around her shoulders in curls. Her long eye lashes were thick and curled into perfect crescent moons. The makeup was light and natural, just how Kagome liked it, with black eye liner around her eyes to give her an alluring look.

Although her face and makeup was nice, it was the dress that stole the show. It was only a half length dress, coming a little above her knees. The dress was died a midnight blue, mixed together with miniature crystals that were imbedded in it, making it shimmer in the light whenever she moved. It was an off the shoulder dress that was cut to have an oval shaped neck. The dress was magnificent.

The limo door suddenly swung open causing Kagome to jump. Mildred crawled in, fallowed closely by Dan.

The short car ride there was an uneasy one. Mildred and Dan did there best to ignore Kagome totally and completely while Kagome tried her best to do the same.

They pulled into a looped driveway and up to a large stone house that seemed to go on forever. Its window's were bright and Kagome could see the party that was going on inside them. There was Christmas tree's at almost every window and Christmas lights framed every crevasse of the house.

The butlers at the doors rushed to open the doors to their car, and helped Mildred and Dan out, almost closing the door on Kagome.

"Oh Miss! Please forgive me! I was not informed that Mrs. Mildred would be accompanied by more than one guest. Please, let me help you out." The butler stammered with embarrassment. Fear shown in his eyes as if he expected Kagome to lash out at him.

Kagome just smiled at him. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." She said climbing out of the limo. "It happens to the best of us."

The butler looked at her amazed. "Thank you." He muttered then ran off to receive the next limo.

Kagome walked up the polished stone steps and up to where Mildred and Dan conversed with another rich looking woman. Her hair was done up in a tight bun, with two curling strands left down to frame her face. She was wearing a white dress that was extenuated by a large white bow placed neatly on her back. Her face was relatively young, around her mid 30's Kagome guessed.

Kagome did her best to sneak by, but the woman spotted her before she could get very far.

"AH!" She squealed excitedly. "You must be Kagome! I have heard so much about you!"

'Nothing good I suppose.' Kagome thought bitterly, putting on a fake smile.

"Hello." Kagome replied while another wave of guests approached the foursome.

Seeing them the woman's face fell. "Well, I don't suppose that we will get to talk much tonight, but possibly we could go on a picnic together sometime before you leave? I'm sure my son would enjoy that!"

Kagome smiled again and lied through clenched teeth. "I would love to."

Mildred glared at Kagome and ushered her away from the woman. "Don't make anymore promises to anyone else tonight!" she hissed in Kagome's ear. "Or better yet, don't talk at all."

'That's it!' Kagome's mind screamed. Turning around to tell Mildred off Kagome was surprised to see that she wasn't there. She and Dan seemed to have completely disappeared. Kagome looked around, confused.

Kagome let out a deep breath. 'Well this party is just going to be bunches of fun, now won't it.' Kagome thought sarcastically.

She wandered around the dance floor, and it disgusted her. It was filled was preppy, pampered rich kids who were shamelessly groping and feeling each other up while their parents talked and gossiped in the other room. 'How can they do that with their parents standing in just the other room?' Kagome thought trying her best not to gawk. 'And how can their parents not step in or do anything? They must know that these kids are on the verge of having an orgy over here…whatever, I'm out of-'

"Well, well, look who it is." A familiar voice stated behind her. Turning around, Kagome met the eye of Hojo.

"Oh, hi! What are you doing here?" Kagome asked amazed to see a familiar face.

"We were invited of course." Hojo replied with a wave of his hand and flashing Kagome his brilliant smile. "Would you care to dance?"

Kagome took another look at the dance floor and crinkled her nose in disgust. "I think I'll have to pass, but thanks anyway."

Suddenly Hojo's features crinkled in anger; apparently he wasn't too used to rejection. "What?" he said politely trying to control his rage.

"Uh, listen I better go…find someone. I told them I would meet them and I don't want to be late." Kagome flashed him one last smile then made a quick exit.

Kagome rounded the corner and rushed out to the large courtyard. 'What the hell is wrong with all these snobby boys?' Kagome seethed. 'They assume just because they are loaded that every girl in the entire world would find it a privilege to throw themselves at them! I've had enough of this society and its inhabitants! I'm going back to Mildred's house. Coming here was a major mistake.'

Standing outside, Kagome let the breeze flow around her, caressing her face and neck. As she gazed up at the moon, she felt its smiling glow calm her rage. Taking one last deep breath Kagome thought her situation through. It would be impossible for her to take the limo back to Aunt Mildred's because it wouldn't be returning until around one a.m. Walking home alone would be a disaster, considering that she didn't know the terrain and considering the huge estates around these area's would end up getting terribly lost.

Kagome let out a long sigh. It looked as if she would be staying throughout the entire party. 'I guess I can always stand to the side, out of sight and out of mind.' She though optimistically.

Walking back into the flurry of dresses, perfumes, and flashing lights Kagome looked around for a hideout that she could crawl into until the party finally came to an end.

Looking to the right corner, Kagome saw such a place. It was two seats, placed neatly in the corner and almost smothered by a large green plant.

'Hello plant,' Kagome thought sitting down in the chair closest to its large, extending vines. 'Is this seat taken?'

Sesshoumaru looked around his mothers Christmas party aimlessly. How he loathed these pointless gatherings. He had no interest in the lowly spoiled children of his parent's friend and colleges.

He could feel the stare of several girls fallowing him around the room and it disgusted him. To think that lowly wrenches such as them could even imagine that he would be even the slightest bit interested in them baffled him. He only dated and pursued the best, and they were no such prizes.

Sesshoumaru's gazed across the room once again. He would need to find a partner to keep the hormone driven girls away from him. Someone exceptional looking that wouldn't ruin his reputation. Someone who looked good next to him, but he could discard at the end of the party as he always did these girls without remorse.

His eyes fell upon a single girl sitting in the corner, almost completely hidden by the large plant that his mother had bought several weeks ago from a floral shop in Paris. Her dress was the color of the deepest ocean, splattered with crystals every which way to give it flare. Also, unlike the other girls at this party, this one had actually chosen a dress that flattered her form; neither too tight nor too loose but just right. Sesshoumaru made a mental note of how good her legs looked, crossed and sitting in her lone chair. Yes, she would do…if only he could see her face. For the moment she was looking across the room in the opposite direction, hiding her features from view.

Sesshoumaru slowly made his way across the floor, slowly and confidently.

He was only yards away when suddenly she shot her gaze toward him, flipping her hair and making her fair features plain for all to see.

Stopping dead in mid stride, Sesshoumaru looked unable to comprehend what he was seeing.

There, sitting in the chair was not just any girl, it was Kagome.

'Did I really just think all those thoughts about Kagome's body?' Sesshoumaru thought.

Then suddenly another thought jumped into Sesshoumaru's mind that made him smirk. This night was going to get interesting.

Kagome looked around the room one last time, stifling a yawn. Shooting her gaze back around Kagome could have sworn that she just saw a flash of silver.

'No…way.' Kagome thought starting to get nervous. 'He couldn't be here could-'

"Well, well," said a familiar voice next to her. "Look who managed to appear out of thin air."

Kagome twirled around, causing her hair to whip around her. "Sesshoumaru?" Kagome stuttered. "What are you doing here?"

Sesshoumaru eyed Kagome. "I think that you should be the one answering that question." He said seating himself in the chair next to Kagome. "This is my family's party you know."

Kagome's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets. "What! This is YOUR party? You have got to be kidding me!"

"What is this Kagome?" Hojo stated angrily tapping his foot on the ground.

'Woah...where did he come from?' Kagome thought mistified.

"You denied dancing with me so you could come over here and talk to this pampered ass?"

Kagome looked up at Hojo with complete disbelief. Didn't he know that Sesshoumaru could easily beat him senseless and would gladly without any remorse? Glancing over at Sesshoumaru, Kagome saw that his face was beginning to flush angrily. If she didn't do something soon, it was going down right here and right now.

'Oh shit!' Kagome thought as she saw Sesshoumaru rise out of his chair, knocking it back and sending it clattering on the marble floor.

"What was that you-" Sesshoumaru started staring holes in Hojo's forehead.

"No! No!" Kagome jumped in quickly giving her best fake laugh and setting her hand on Sesshoumaru's chest. "You've got it all wrong! I didn't deny your dance to come over here and talk to Sesshoumaru! I denied you so I could come over here and dance with Sesshoumaru instead!"

Sesshoumaru looked down at her with disbelief. In the background Kagome could hear a slow song beginning to boom out from the gigantic speakers. Hojo just stood their in complete disbelief at what Kagome had said, but his face was growing redder by the second. They needed to exit now.

"Come on Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said happily grabbing his hand. "Let's dance!"

Pulling a struggling Sesshoumaru through a mob of dancing people wasn't easy, but somehow Kagome managed to do it.

Quickly wrapping her arms around Sesshoumaru she gave him her best death glare. "Come on Sesshoumaru, do you really want everyone to think that you are so uncivilized as to get into a brawl in the middle of one of your families parties?" Before Sesshoumaru could answer Kagome continued. "I didn't think so shut up, put your arms around my waist, and dance with me!" She hissed giving him her 'that's that and there will be no arguing with me' look.

Sesshoumaru glared down at her for a second, but complied. Kagome let a breath out that she didn't know that she was holding and let her head rest against Sesshoumaru's hard chest. She could hear the faint sound of his heart beating from underneath all his clothing.

Hojo's gaze was obvious to her, for she could feel it across the room, pricing Sesshoumaru's body and going through her. But as the song continued and their movements became more and more similar all that was left in the world was their two bodies', moving slowly back and forth.

'This feels so…right.' Kagome thought confused by the mixed emotions swirling around inside of her.

The song continued further until all that was left was the rhythm of Sesshoumaru's heart, and to Kagome, that was all that mattered.
