"I'm going to have to manifest her… it could take a while." Misa explained.

Kagome sighed and nodded slowly, "alright, do you think Kouga will be able to keep George occupied for that long?"

Misa simled, her hand moving to grip Kagome's and squeeze lightly, "absolutely, take your shirt off and lie face down on the bed, please."

"I think you just like seeing me like this." Kagome teased with a snort, complying with Misa's instructions.

Misa giggled, "Oh goodness, you've caught on."

"Just close your eyes and relax… it might hurt so try to think about something else."

Kagome grunted and closed her eyes.

Cold drips fell on her shoulder blade, a heated sensation quickly stemming from the liquid as it sunk under her skin sending tingles through her body.

'I need to tell George… I can't tell him though; I don't want to see his face when I tell him what happened. When did I get so mean? Why'd I take the bracelet? What the hell was I scared of? No, I know what I was scared of… I didn't want to see his face when he heard what I was saying.'

Kagome groaned softly as the pain quickly receded from her body, leaving her lying on the bed facedown still.

"Misa, is that it?" she asked.

Turning her head when she didn't hear an answer she pushed herself up and looked around.

"Misa?"

Kagome reached forward and grabbed her shirt, tugging it over her head before climbing to the floor.

"Trust you to find the one person to break my curse."

Kagome turned, her hand automatically going to the wand in the waistband of her jeans, "here I was thinking it was just Naraku… should have known it was you."

"Are you going to continue chatting or are you going to attempt to finish what was started?"

Kagome smirked, pulling her wand out fully, "sure, let's finish this… So, what'd you do with Misa?"

A smirk graced the woman's face, "wouldn't you like to know."
