Kagome sat on her bed starring at the stitches on her arm. The cuts from the mirror accident had long since healed. There was a knock on the door, and Kagome stood up and answered it.

" Hey, Kagome. The school's holding a Halloween bash and we're car pooling wanna come with us?" Kurt asked at her door. Kagome looked at him blankly.

' After I yelled at him like that a couple weeks ago he's still asking me?' " When is it?" Kagome asked stepping into the hall, and shutting the door.

" The day after tomorrow." Kurt confirmed.

' Go to the party, why not! Inuyasha's not here to stop me. Why can't I go to a party with me friends.' " Okay, Kurt when do we leave?"

" Half- past six that night. What are you going as?"

" That's for me to know and for you to find out." She said coyly walking back into her room to devise a costume.

Kagome flopped onto her bed. She was going to a party tomorrow and NO demon was going to stop her. Though she had to find a costume by 6:30 tomorrow. A fitting silence set in, and there was no Inuyasha to ruin it.

" Kagome it's time to go!" Kurt called up the stairs. " Kagome!" He poofed in front of her door and was about to knock when the door opened, and Kurt was forced to blush. Kagome was wearing a Chinese dress, and a red wig.

" This okay?" Kagome asked twirling a bit.

" It's... great come on we're going to be late." He grabbed Kagome arm, careful of her stitches, he led her down stairs. Kitty was... a cat. Scott worked off his shades and went for the Neo look. Gene was a medeivl princess, Rouge had a fallen angel look, and Kurt was (HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE) Captain Jack.

" So Kagome what are you?"

" I'm Ranma." Everyone questioned in the car on the way over.

" So let me get this straight." Kitty said walking in the parking lot. " This guy fell into a cursed spring," Kagome nodded her head, " He's cursed nod from Kagome everytime he touches cold water he turns into a girl. nod And he turns back when he touches cold."

" That's right, now lets hit the dance floor." Kagome pulled Kitty onto the gym floor. Swinging her hips, Kagome engrosed herself in the music. ' I haven't done this in forever!' But the good feeling didn't last long as Kagome was brought back into reality when she landed on her butt with a loud thud.

" Oh, I'm sorry." Kagome looked up to see a magician, Plainly seen under his top hat was a tuft of blonde hair that matched his blue eyes perfectly. He offered Kagome a hand, and introduced himself.

" I'm Dom, a pleasure to meet you." He said grabbing her hand, and planting a light kiss on the back of it.

" Is this a ploy to get me into bed, or are you actually a gentlemen. Those are hard to come by these days ya know." Kagome asked dryly snatching her hand back.

" I assure you, I'm a gentleman." Kagome was still unbelieving. Wincing a little bit, Kagome noticed that a couple of her stitches had come undone. " Oh my, here lets get out side so I can get a better look at it."

He led Kagome out side and inspected her wound.

" You're not from around here." Kagome proclaimed, seeing his perfect surfer's tan.
" How could you tell?" Dom asked, still looking at Kagome's arm.
" You've go a tan. Not the kind you get in a booth."

" You're observant, and right. I'm from California; I go back tomorrow."
' He goes back tomorrow... it wouldn't hurt to tell him. I do need to get this monkey off my back.'

" What happened? This is really deep."

' It won't hurt to tell him.' Kagome confirmed. " I did it... on purpose." She said with a shaky voice. Dom didn't look surprised. He led Kagome over to a bench, and sat her down next to him.

" Why would you do something like that?" Kagome sighed heavily and leaned against his shoulder. She didn't know why, but there seemed to be a calming air around him. A soothing wave of calm swept over Kagome.

" I was trying to get rid of him, and I guess I went too far."

" He?"

" Yeah, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered.

" That's a strange name, but why did you have to get rid of him?" He asked finally interested. Kagome tugged a broken jewel from in side of her shirt. This was all the jewels fault, yet Kagome still carried it with her.

" The Shikon no Tama caused all of this. It can only bring sadness, hate, and betrayal." She said quietly nuzzling his shoulder.

" Shikon no Tama?" Dom asked encircling her in his arms.

" The Sacred Jewel of Four Souls. I broke it, and this is the price I had to pay." Kagome explained looking up at him.

" What price? I don't understand." Dom looked down at Kagome.

" It's a lon-"

" Kagome!" It was Kurt. Kagome wriggled out of Dom's gentle grasp.

" That's Kurt." Kagome said standing up.

" Kagome the dance's over! It time to go!" Kurt called coming from into the picnic area.

" I have to go."

" Wait," he gently grabbed her hand, " Can I see you again?"

'How cheesy is this?' Kagome thought. A light breeze picked up and Kagome detected the scent of roasted almonds. Again the calming waves flew over Kagome. She smiled and said, " I thought you went home tomorrow."

" I can stay a few more days." He reassured her by standing, he said this again. Again Kagome answered him with a small smile.

" Tomorrow, can I see you then?" Kagome asked backing up.

" Of course." With that Kagome turned and walked to Kurt. Then went home... or where she was currently living. No matter how long she lived there it would never be her home.
