"Kagome, you are so weird!" Jakotsu complained to his friend who sat in the on Kouga's lap. "Yeah, Kagome, but you are still really cute!" Kouga chipped excited the girl of his dreams sat on his lap. "Thanks Kouga. You called Bankotsu, Suikotsu, and Renkotsu, right Jak?" Kagome asked, her voice almost emotionless, except for that slight hint of amusement. "Yeah… I did, I want them to see me!" Jakotsu giggled in a girly manner at himself. "Kouga you certainly have great costumes, I must say this kitty girl looks dashing on me, and that wolf fur on you, meow!!" Kouga made a disgusted look, but didn't say anything back. "And Kagome, you look like a real geisha, a deadly one!"
The three friends climbed out of the car, watching the people enter the Taiyouki mansion. "Man Kagome, if I wasn't so interested in the body parts of men….!" Jakotsu looked over her female friend in the light blue kimono, her knees down exposed by the slight shortness of the kimono. "Thank you Jak." She said, adjusting the sash and bow. "Let's go." The geisha spoke to her kitty and wolf friend.
"Kagome!" Sango shouted coming to her geisha dressed friend whom had just entered the door. "You're alright!" Kagome nodded, smiling ever so softly, as to not mess up the white make-up on her face. "Sorry I worried you all, I was just with an old friend and lost my phone…" She hadn't totally lied, but you couldn't worry Sango about these personal maters, and as predicted Sango didn't interfere.
"Father." Kagome said to the feudal dressed man in the dark blue. He turned to look at her, a woman with dark hair by his side. "Mother…" She said a little off set at the woman in the dark purple formal kimono. "Kagome! Welcome back from you trip! After the guest retire you and I will converse…" She nodded, leaving Kouga and Jakotsu following their 'leader'.
The party went on uneventful, and was starting to diffuse slowly, what was left of the people mingled quietly. "Excuse me." Kagome spoke to her two friends who had been with her throughout the night. "I am going to use the restroom." She walked off leaving the two to fend for themselves for the time being.
"Jakotsu!" Suikotsu yelled coming to his brother, Renkotsu close behind him. "Brothers!" He looked at them with a knowing grin toward their attire. "Aw, you still have those old things I see.." Kouga excused himself from the brother's going to find some of the finer class that he was use to hanging around. "So that is him eh?" Jakotsu nodded. "Yeah 'Prince' Kouga. SO where is dearest brother Bankotsu?" The girly-man giggled. "I don't know, he's been chased all night by rich high class girls… So we ditched him to get away from the whining." Renkotsu smirked at his youngest brother's distress. "Oh well!"
"Argh.." Bankotsu grunted as he caught his breath. "Stupid stuck up rich slu-" He stopped hearing a nearby conversation. "Did you see the girl dressed as a geisha, she is smoking. I just want to screw her brains out and make her scream!" One of the males said trying to sound tough. "I think she might be Taisho's eldest daughter…"The eldest of the male group spoke in, making some of the guys fidget. "He is a kind man and all… But touch his daughter's and he would…" Bankotsu could see the man shiver. "But man, I would like to tap that ass." The man listening from the corner clenched his fists, not wanting to cause a scene he dashed off.
"I can't take those people…" She had only wanted to look good for a select person, and she couldn't even find him, and the people probably didn't think she could hear them, oh how she could hear the remarks from the men about doing disturbing things to her. "Ban.." She sighed, unknown to her someone came up behind her, snaking his arms around his waist. "You called?" She gasped at the sudden contact. "Bankotsu!" She 'eeped', pulling away from the strong male behind her. "Oh I missed you!" She giggled putting her arms behind her back, a grin broke out from her lips. "Wow, the guys around here were right! You look positively delicious!" He purposely choose that perfect word, the word he knew would bring him that little thing he always adored. "Kagome dear, even through the make-up, I can still see.." He backed her to the wall playfully. "The blush I cause you." His lips were inches from her own, one more would be all it would have to take, just one small move. "Ban-" She was cut off from anything else by a high pitched scream.
"What happened?!" Kagome shouted, bursting into the room, Bankotsu by her side. Now only a small crowd of people stood around in a circle hiding something in the middle. Kagome ran to them, cutting in, covering her mouth at the sight of a body, covered in throw-up and blood from the mouth.. "Who could have done this?!" A woman cried, being held by a close friend, or loved one. "No one leaves!" Kagome yelled, reaching into the folds of her kimono pulling out a phone. "Hello, Jimmy. I need a hand. Yeah, I know it's been year's, but we've got a murder on our hands. Bring the police." She clicked the phone shut and turned to face the crowed of people, including her family. "You all will be staying the night here." She said, her face looking stoic as she spoke taking a head count. "Father, there are about fifteen of them. Each on needs a room, if you wish to share a room with someone, please group up with them. The police will be arriving soon enough."
"Jimmy it's been along time." Kagome stood before her old friend, now in a pair of black shorts and a same color tank-top. "Indeed Kagome. Might I say, you look gorgeous as always." The male with the shaggy hair and blue tux purred to his old friend. "Yes you might, now stop your flirting." She gave him a light push only slightly hearing Bankotsu growl. "Mr. Kudo!" One of the officers came to his, while other's snapped pictures. "We can't seem to find an murder weapons. Officers are being shown to each room by the family." He eyed Kagome and Bankotsu. "Miss, Sir, I need to ask you too-" Jimmy cut in. "She stays. Obviously you don't know of Kagome Taiyouki. Her and I use to work on many cases together. She is almost as good as me." He laughed. "Almost." Kagome pouted. "Aw, Jimmy I thought that I was good enough for you." She joked hugging her friend. "Kagome." She heard Bankotsu cut in. "Ban, this is Jimmy. Jimmy this is Bankotsu" Bankotsu nodded to him. "I've read about him, he's solved many cases. Now we might need to solve this one…" Kagome nodded at her friend's words. "We just need to wait for the chief to get here.." Just then the doors busted open. "Alright what do we got here." Jimmy and Kagome left Bankotsu standing alone as they reported to the chief.
"Sorry I ditched you Ban…" Kagome said as she entered her room seeing her friend on her bed. "It's…Fine, you need to clear this up, after all has been someone murdered in your home." She nodded, coming to lay on her bed next to him. "So what's this about you and Jimmy, just what's between you two…?" Bankotsu questioned not looking toward his friend. "Well… When we were in middle school… Him and I were both really good detectives. I didn't want the fame though… So we used each other, working with both of our skills and sources, and him getting all the fame and me most of the pay." She blushed lightly. "He also was the first boy to kiss me… Though he stole it, much to my anger… But I still use to have a crush on him.." Kagome had no idea how that made Bankotsu's heart wrench. "Oh, so you dated…?" He questioned her more, trying not to be jealous, wait why was he jealous? "No! Never, though him and I flirted there was always a girl he had in his heart. Her name was, and I think still is, Rachel. She is a cute girl." She smiled happily. "Ban! It's so easy to talk to you. I feel like you are one of my girlfriends!!"
That his face drop. "That's what I want to be of course.." He twitched trying to keep calm. "Well I need to sleep. You should also!" He dashed out of the room a crest fallen look crossing his features. "Only a…..friend." He shut the door to the room he was assigned and laid on his bed, probably not to fall asleep. Unbeknownst to him, Jimmy watched this scene with a smirk on his face. "Well now, maybe I could play a little game with this.. Just as soon as I figure out just what happened here."
