Chapter 2 : Preparing with Gifts

It was an early evening. The sun was making its way down making the horizon a bright orange. Miya sat in her

room looking at an old locket. It was a gold heart shaped locket with a design of a flower printed on the back.

Miya slowly opened it and when she looked at the picture inside tears began to fill her eyes. She let out small

sobs as tears flowed down her face. She was startled when a knock was heard at her door. Miya quickly dried

her eyes and put the locket under her pillow. She cleared her throat and said, "Come in." The door slowly

opened and the figure of a man was in the door way.

"Hey Miya what's up."

"Nothing, Miroku," Miya forced herself to smile despite the sadness she felt within, "just thinking about what to wear to the dance."

"O yea that's what I came up here to tell you, since your going to the dance with "The Pretty Boy" I am taking Sango. Is that ok?"

Miya looked at her friend and said, "Miroku, one his name is Sesshoumaru, and two I really don't care if you take Sango or not."

"Really? Cause you and her really don't like each other," Miroku said not believing his best friend.

"Yea doesn't bother me, its up to you, I mean if you like the pushy, pathetic type well go ahead."

Miroku just smiled at his friend and got a smile from her in return.

"May I enter?" asked Naraku as he stood outside his daughter's door.

"Sure come in dad," was Miya's response.

Naraku looked at Miroku and asked, "Mind if I talk to Miya alone?"

"O I was just leaving I got to go get ready for the dance, I will see you guys there."

"See you," was the response by Miya and Naraku in unison.

Miya looked at her pillow wanting to take out the locket, but she couldn't do that now, not in front of her father.

She had to be alone, because once she opens the locket her emotions pour out and her room will become

flooded with her tears.

"Miya, Why do you torture yourself the way you do?"

"Pardon?" Miya didn't understand what her father was getting at.

"The locket. Why do you look at the locket when you know that you can't handle it? You can't handle the pain

and memories that it holds. Miya don't put your self through this suffering. Your mother is gone and we just have

to deal with the fact that she isn't going to come back from the dead."

" I know she isn't its just that I miss her so much," Miya didn't realize it but at this point she was crying.

"I do to, but Miya we have to move on, now dry those tears, we have to get ready for the dance."

"Ok"

Naraku got up and walked to the door. He then stopped and turned to face Miya, "O and look in your closet

there is a surprise for you." With that Naraku left the room closing the door behind him.

As soon as she heard the click of the door, confirming that it was closed, Miya ran to her closet and opened it.

Nothing seemed disturbed or new. She was wondering where her surprise was. Confused, Miya was about to

close the door, but something caught her eye. On the back of the closet door was dress. "O...my...," was Miya's

only reaction to the beauty of the dress that hung on the closet. She was speechless, never in her life had she

seen such a stunning dress or so she thought. She took it off the hanger and ran to her full mirror. She held the

dress up to her body and looked at herself in the mirror. The dress reached her at her feet, it was a black dress

with diamond studs on the end of it and the straps of her dress were of rhinestone. The dress also had a

beautiful pattern of diamonds on it. She loved the dress so much, and knew that her father most likely had to

pay a fortune for it. Miya glanced over at the clock and was shocked at how late it had gotten. She got on the

phone and made one quick call to her friend Chibi. Chibi was also going late and had decided to go with Miya

in her limo. Miya hung up the phone a jumped into the shower.

As soon as she got out she put on her robe. She put her make-up on and then stepped into her dress. She let

her hair down and curled it. Miya looked down on her dresser and saw that there was a red jewelry box right

next to her perfume. She picked it up and opened it. She almost fainted at what was inside the box. It was a

diamond choker with matching earrings. Miya quickly put on the jewelry and reminded herself that she had to

thank her father for all of these gifts. Miya put on her perfume and then opened the door. Before she walked out

her room she saw a fancy bag in front of her door. She was wondering what this could be, but she didn't have

anytime to play any guessing games with herself. She opened the box and saw that the box contained a pair of

opened toe, black studded shoes. She looked at it confused, but then looked down at her feet to see that she

had on no shoes. She laughed at herself for almost going to the dance bare footed. She then put on the shoes

and was ready to go. She walked down the stairs of her mansion, and wondered why the house was so quiet.

She then remembered that everyone in the house had already left for the dance. She grabbed a mink coat from

the one of the seventeen hall closets they had. She took one last look at herself in the mirror next to the door.

She loved the dress she had on, she loved how it hugged her curves , most of all she loved the rhinestones, but

she couldn't shake the feeling that she have come across this dress before. Miya shrugged it off and closed her

coat.

She went outside and saw that her limo driver was waiting for her. She went in the limo and the driver closed the

door for her. She reminded the driver that she had to pick up her friend and then it was off to the dance. The

driver took note of that and then he drove off. Miya sat with butterflies in her stomach. Why was she nervous?

How was this night going to turn out? What is Sesshoumaru going to think when he sees her in this dress? So

many questions flooded Miya's mind she would just have to wait and see how tonight played out. She looked

out her window as they entered onto the highway. "Time will tell," she mumbled. "Time will tell."

I was going to make this chapter longer but I'm like what the heck. I didn't really know where I was going with this chapter, it just came to me. I know it sort of stinks but I did my best. Next chapter will be better...I hope.
