Preparation


Kagome blinked groggily as she finally arose from her slumber by harsh kick to her side. An imposing figure with an unreadable face stood tall over her. "Get up, wench. It's about to begin, and you're not anywhere close to getting ready.

"What?"

Her cry of protest was unheard as the man threw her over his shoulder and marched off. By kami, were those claws? Kagome's vision faded in and out. Sounds blurred together, and she vaguely realized that a woman had taken ahold of her and ushered her into a changing room.

The woman tossed a bag at Kagome. "Put that on," she ordered. Kagome looked around desperately for an escape route, but the woman caught her look and chided, "No point in running away, human. They'll kill you before you make it five feet beyond the casino." She smiled, showing a row of razor sharp fangs. Kagome recoiled and collided against the wall.
