Chapter Twelve: The Ball!
Sango had dropped of Kagome at the day spa in the mid-morning before the ball. Everyone had chipped in for her to go; well only InuYasha, Miroku, herself and Kikio for they had the master of all master plans. To hook up Kagome who was shy and Sesshomaru who was as solid and as cold as ice together.
Now Sango followed Sakura to her wardrobe of 'spare ball stuff'. Sango had quickly filled in the women before hand over the phone and she had happily agreed to help. Now as they searched the thousand and one clothes that hung around the place Sakura was about to crack up laughing as she pulled out a very tight black dress. Sango shook her head and said, "That remind the ice pick of Kagura!" Sakura gave a thoughtfully look at the dress then nodded, "What am I thinking!?"
Kagome as much as she was worried, found she was relaxing as she sunck deeper into the hot mud. It had only felt like it had been five minuets but she'd been wrong it had been 60 full minuets and she was whizzed to the shower. A 'maid' put the cold water on full bore but before Kagome could take any notice it was warm again. "You have such a pretty figure!" said the maid as Kagome tried to pull the extremely small towel over her butt; which was hidden; and her breast; which were also hidden. "Now you're going to have a massage to get you all ready to dance the night away!" The maid said dreamily, "Then a face purification, then hair and make-up! Then it should be time for you to go!"
Kagome was pulled into another room and by then she was lost. They put three different masks on Kagome's skin. The first to open up get the dirt of her skin, the second to get her pauses open and the last to wash her face. That took about two and half hours because each mask was left on for 30 minuets. Kagome sighed as the 'maids' rubbed on very nice very fine and very expensive moisture on her skin.
At 5:30 Sango dropped of the dress at the Day-Spa so they knew hoe to do the hair and make-up. The 'maid' from before gasped at the fine dark emerald green dress Sango held out. Then and then pouted and joked how she wished she was Kagome; turns out she was one of 'Sesshomaru's Fan Club' thing.
The make and hair lady (what-Eva-their-called), Linda, looked at the dress for a second then diapered to do Kagome's hair and make-up.
It was six when Kagome was pulled into the car by Sango. "Now for you to change!" Sango said happily pulling the dress out. Kagome opened her mouth to say something but Sango covered her open mouth, "Just put it on!"
In the car with much difficultly Kagome emerged with the green dress attached to her body as if it had been her real skin.
Sango applauded as she finished ding the zip up. "How do I look?" Kagome asked nervously. "Lets go see!" Sango took her hand and lead her into the first floor bathroom that was the size of a bedroom. Kagome looked at her refection in the mirror. She barely recognized her self. Her hair was curled a bit more then usual and was bouncing pass her shoulders. The dark emerald dress was elegant. It clung to her nicely not to lose but not so tight that her boobs would seam that they were d-cups. It had small sleeves, only two inches long that sat on her arms. Kagome gave a quick turn and the back had a invisible zip that went from the top to her butt.
"There's something not right!" she said finally peering closely at her face. She had the similar shade of green above her eyes but not much. She grabbed a towel and wet it and wiped of the lip gloss on her lips and the blush on her cheeks. Sango gasped but then smiled she looked prettier with-out the little above her eyes gave a nice touch. Come-on lets wait out side.
(Sango was waring a nice black satrapy dress that went to her ankles. Kikio a blue two piece set dress.)
Sesshomaru was the first of the males to arrive onto the porch. Kagome was trying to remember the steps that Sango had tried to teach her.
FLASHBACK
"One. Two. Three." Sango called banging a stick on the ground. Kagome was dancing with Miroku. "Kenka!" Kagome said again and slapped the pervert on the cheek leaving a bright red hand mark. "Sango this isn't working. He can't keep his hands off my butt!" Sango nodded in agreement and sighed.
END OF FLASHBACK
Her dress swished and swayed as Kagome moved her feet, silently counting the beat. "Ah! Sesshomaru! It's nice to see you!" Sango said, startling the Kagome who jumped. He nodded but couldn't help looking at his date. She was stunning he had to admit; it was a bummer that she was forced to go with him though.
Soon everyone was piling into the car and they were off to the ball!
TWO DAYS BEFORE
Bring! Bring! Sesshomaru pulled out his mobile (cell-phone) and answered it not taking the time to look at the caller ID.
"Hello?" he said.
"Oh HI!" came Kagura's voice,
'How on Earth did SHE get my number?' Sesshomaru asked himself. "Yes?" he asked.
Kagura didn't hesitate, "Do you want to come to the ball with me!?" Sesshomaru smiled to himself, "No sorry I'm already going with someone else!" And he hung up, and turned off his phone.
The call was ended not the way she had planed. Kagura stared bleakly at the receiver then slammed it down. "Who on Earth is he going with!?" Kagura asked herself. Then gave an evil smile, picked up the ricer and diled an old friend; her plan would work it was very simple, make him jealous!
There were loads of people at this ball. Kagome asked Sango what to do and she told her the truth, "Take Sesshy's hand and follow him. Stick to him like glue if you can!" Kagome frowned then went back to her 'date'.
Sesshomaru went and talked to his dad's business partner or sons or daughters or wives. The music went quite and InuTashe steeped on to the stage. "I'd like to thank you to attend this gathering. Many of you may not know but this is a party to celebrate something wonderful." He pauses, "My wife Sakura is pregnant!"
People gasped then cheered. InuYasha and Sesshomaru stood in sock. Kagome clapped smiling, not sure what the word pregnant mente but assumed it had something to do with a babe for the couple next to them whispered about another half-breed coming into the world.
"Now and celebration of the soon-to-be new addition, I'd like the hole of my family and their dates to have a dance!" InuTashe said holding a glass of wine high in the air. "Come on boys!"
The sons knowing better to disagree with their father, who was obviously drunk or had some evil plan up his sleeve, they made their way on to the dace floor that was clear.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome whispered up, "I-"
"Just follow my lead," Sesshomaru whispered down. Kagome blushed as Sesshomaru placed his hand on her back. Mummers went across the crowed around them as the four people began to dance.
Kagome found it very easy to dance with Sesshomaru. "You look stunning," he whispered down to her, "and the crowed also thinks so." Kagome gave a small gasp and turned an even deep red. He stomach was up in butterflies and she wasn't sure why; this made her very confused. Soon people began to join in with the dancing, and Sesshomaru and Kagome made their way off the dance floor. "Do you want a drink?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome nodded and walked to the balcony to wait.
"Why hello," Said a voice from behind her, Kagome looked over her shoulder and saw a man almost as tall as Sesshomaru. He had jet black hair and dark blue eyes. Kagome gave a nod, and he continued; "You are very beautiful" he commented. Kagome did not blush at this but just flicked strand of her hair over her shoulder. The man walked up beside her and leaned o the balustrade and looked at her, but Kagome just looked at the half moon. "My name is Shu. My I ask what a pretty woman such as your self name is."
Sesshomaru appeared behind Kagome and gave her a tap on the shoulder and handed her a glass punch! Kagome accepted it and gave a small sniff before taking a sip. "My name is Kagome, nice to meet you." Kagome said blandly. Shu smiled, "Shu-!!" Kagura's voice called, "I've been looking for you everywhere for you!"
Kagura prance onto the balcony, a broad, read lipped smiled on her make-up caver face. The silk red dress that clung so tight to her body you'd think she fall over.
"Ah- Kagura my dear." Shu said as Kagura appeared beside him. "Oh- Sesshomaru. Hi. My you look hansom!" Kagura said smiling at him, "Congrats on your mother by the way!" Shu said,
"Yes indeed I hope it's a girl!" Kagura said clapping her hands, "Your mother needs a girl in the family!"
"Kagura you don't mind if I take a dance with Kagome here do you?" Shu asked. Kagura shock her head, "Nope you go right a head and I'll talk to Sesshy here!"
Kagome didn't have time disagree as Shu quickly took her hand and led her onto the dace floor.
"Who's Kagome dancing with?" InuYasha asked Kikio. "Don't know but I haven't seen him before." Kikio replied. "That's the least of our worries!" Sango said as she walked up beside the two, "He's KAGURA'S date."
"Poor Kagome! She doesn't look like she's having fun at all, with this man at all." Miroku said as he joined. "It not what it look likes." Kikio said, "The man he doesn't let her talk. He only lets her answer questions; there up to something; him and Kagura!"
"I'll deal to this!" Miroku said and he stalked towards the dancing pair, before any one could stop him.
"Excuse me, but may I have a dance with the young maiden?" Miroku asked Shu as he held out his hand. Kagome thanked the sea god silently as Shu handed her over, and walked back to Kagura and Sesshomaru who were still on the balcony. The two began to dance. "Keep you hands off my butt if you know what's best for you," Kagome warned. Miroku laughed, "I wouldn't think of it!"
"Thank you Miroku. For saving me Shu gives me the creeps." Kagome said and gave him a hug at the end of their dance. Miroku laughed and Kagome headed towards the drink table.
Kagome returned to Sesshomaru with a glass of red wine in her hand. And Kagura and Shu left.
"Don't you think you're a bit young to be drinking?" Sesshomaru inquired. "I didn't really have a say in it. The man behind the bar just handed it to me!" Kagome took a sip from the glass. Sesshomaru smiled, it was barely a up turn of the lips but it was still a smile, Kagome saw this and coked on the liquid. He patted her on the back gently, and gave another smile one no one saw.
Sesshomaru and Kagome left together after finding out that the others wanted to stay. This was after Kagome had finished her drink. The limo pulled up at Kagome's apartment complex. "I'll walk you to your door." Kagome gave a bubbly laugh and got out.
At the door Kagome fumbled with the key and the lock. "Bubbling idiot aren't you." He commented Kagome gave another bubbly laugh and grinned. QLICK the lock un-locked and the door swang open. "Thanks Sesshomaru." Kagome said.
In a seconds she was standing on tippee-toes Kagome reached up and kissed Sesshomaru. Lightly, but it was still a kiss. Then like a bubbling idiot she raced inside and locked the door.
Sesshomaru stood completely stunned. But zoned back in as laughter came around the corner. It was Sango and Miroku. He glared at them as he stalked pass but that didn't stop the snickering.
THE NEXT MORNING
Sango rasped on Kagome's door and a bagged eye, grumpy Kagome opened it. "Stop the noise!" she said sharply, "head hurting." She walked away feet dragging leaving that door wide open. Sango came in a bit bewildered but still smirking closing the door behind her.
When she re-entered the lounged she saw Kagome slumped in the couch with her eyes closed.
"Kagome?' Sango asked. Kagome moaned
"Head hurts wont stop." She said. Sango sighed and asked, "How many drinks did you have last night?" Kagome moaned again, "I think I had . . . one. It was red and strong. I think" Sango gave a laugh witch earned a glare from Kagome, "Hangover." Was she simply said, and as she headed towards the kitchen she call back over her shoulder. "You know you kissed Sesshomaru last night!" And Kagome gave a loud gasp as she remembered what she had done!
END OF CHAPPY
You'll get Sesshy's point of view on the kiss in the next chapter I think. Anyway. The next chapter involves a boat and the sea!!
