Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with Inuyasha and co. it was by Rumiko Takahashi. In the last chapter I mentioned a bunch of stores I do not own any of them. Elps Vineyard is made believed by me if there is a real vineyard by that name I apologize and I do not own that either. I don't own MacDonald's either!
Kagome and Sesshomaru sat at their seats in the restaurant. It had a dim lighting and the candle chandlers gave off a hue of lighting. She looked through the menu and thought of getting the spiced chicken with the wild rice. Kagome looked up and saw Sesshomaru looking at her. She quickly looked back down to her menu.
"It's been so long, you haven't changed at all." Kagome slowly lifted her head up. "You haven't either… are you still dating Kagura?" she asked him in a low voice knowing he heard. He lowered his menu and looked at her, "we've decided to date other people for a while." Kagome stared at his face to see if any emotion drifted across his eyes… nothing. "Well, I've heard that being farther apart brings the heart closer."
"Who ever told you that, is a liar." The waiter came and the two ordered. Kagome couldn't help but notice the people around. There seemed to be many demons around of all shape, color and type. Her eyes drifted back to Sesshomaru to see him looking at her once again. "is there something on my face?"
"No there is not," he brought a hand to his glass of water before finishing. "I seemly enjoy looking at it."
"I guess I should say thank you for being so blunt, but I have to say, that line was really creepy." Kagome told him before taking a sip of her own water. He chuckled a bit, "I don't understand why we stopped contact after high school."
"Yes well, while some went off to school in Harvard, I went else where."
"I never did find out which finishing school you attended."
"You never found out, because you never asked. I went to NYU, just so you know. It was fun."
"I heard that Sango Tenshi went there as well." Kagome nodded, "Yep, we do all we can to stick together."
"I've seen her around, does she work in the building as well?"
"She does, in fact she's the Editor in chief of "New Chic", the magazine, not the franchise." Sesshomaru nodded this time and the waiter chose this moment to come with the drinks. Kagome chose the strawberry ice tea for no ice, and a delicious 1921 white wine from the Elps Vineyard for Sesshomaru.
At the first sip of her ice tea, Kagome's cell phone rang. She dug it out of her purse. She saw Sango's name flash in the screen and asked to be excused. She picked up the phone and headed out. "Hey, is there anything wrong?"
"No, but Miroku's due to pick me up in a few so I don't know what to do with Shippo."
"Ah, thanks I'll come get him. Where are you?" Kagome hung up after getting the address and headed back in. Their food had arrived and Sesshomaru hadn't begun his meal. "I'm sorry but something's come up."
"It is completely understandable."
"I'll just bag it and—"
"I'll pay for both but next time we'll split it." Kagome stared at him… next time? "Yes, of course. Thanks for the meal. I'll um…"
"We'll need each other's numbers to set up another date."
"Yes, well. Waiter, can you bag this for me please. So yeah, here's my cell phone number. You can call at anytime." Kagome thought about that, "No scratch that, don't call after 10, Shippo needs his sleep."

"Ah, sorry I'm late; the waiter kept giving us the wrong bill." Kagome quickly told Sango upon reaching the library. "Waiter? Us? Were you on a date?" Sango asked and Kagome shook her head, "No we were just two friends catching up on old times."
"Is that what you were telling yourself on the way here?"
"Don't you have a date to go to?"
Sango to a quick look to her watched then bid Kagome and Shippo goodbye. "I got to go; he's coming to pick me up at home. Wish me luck!" Shippo and Kagome waved goodbye. "Do you eat dinner yet?"
Shippo nodded, "Auntie Sango took me to MacDonalds and I eat an entire sandwich by myself!"
"Wow, I knew you were getting big but you're practically a man now, what am I going to do!"
"No way Kagome, I'm not a man yet. I'm still a little boy; you have to watch over me until I say I'm a man!"
"Really? Well then you're still my little boy until I'm old and wrinkly and can't remember my name." Shippo smiled at her and the two went off home.

The next morning was just like every other morning. Kagome got up and went straight to the bathroom to shower. After leaving the shower, she started the coffee machine and woke Shippo up. She went into the kitchen to make a quick omelet for Shippo.
She wrapped her hair in a towel and decided on an outfit. She chose a grey high waist-ed pair of capris, boot-cut pants and had black boots to cover up the skin she was showing on her legs (calves and down).
Her top was this flowing black top with a low 'V' neck. The sleeves were long and flowing to her wrist but clasped on it with two buttons. Her chest was covered with a dull, light blue tang top since the 'V' neck was to low to wear in public.
She went to Shippo's room and pulled out a new pair of dark blue skinny jeans (for boys) and a blue muscle tee-shirt with the batman sign on it. She went into the corner and grabbed his black high tops to match Shippo's outfit.
Going back into her own room she began on her make up but before she could even put her lip gloss on, her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She answered the caller. "Is this Kagome?"
"Yes, this is she. May I ask who's calling?"
"Sesshomaru."
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you correctly," It can't really be Sesshomaru can it?
"This is Sesshomaru." It can!!
"Oh good-morning Sesshomaru,"
"I hope it is not too early."
"Not at all, we're awake and active at the moment." Kagome walked into the kitchen to pour herself some coffee. If she just stood there and listened Sesshomaru speak, she thought she was going to loose her mind.
Shippo was eating his omelet sit in his robe. She tapped his head trying to get him to go get dressed without really telling him and interrupting Sesshomaru. Kagome brought her attention back to Sesshomaru to here him saying "I hope you can come."
"Yes, of course I can."
"Great, I'll pick you and Shippo up tonight at 8, I'll call later to tell you I'm coming." Kagome froze at the dial tone. Her crush from high school had called her and she was so excited she hadn't even paid attention to what was said. What? Pick us up? Eight? Tonight? Kagome pressed the end button on the phone and lowered it to the table with her other hand, she drank her coffee, black not caring of the bitter taste.

"Could you believe that!" Sango was enraged. Miroku had proposed the night before but it wasn't at all how she had imagined. "Beautiful restaurant, great food and ambiance even the moment was right, so how did he mess that up?" Sango took a sip of her coffee and sighed. Kagome sat at the table in the break room staring into space and only catching a few words Sango was saying.
"Finally as after the meal was brought he slid the box to me, how romantic right, but then he had to say, 'will you bare me my children'. Why would he say that knowing I've seen him say that same exact line to every girl he says hello to!"
"Maybe he thought you'd think it was romantic because even though he's told it to other people, he only means it when he says it to you." Kagome answered Sango lazily. Sango stopped fuming and thought about it. "Damn, you're probably right. Now that I think of it, it was pretty romantic. Wait! Perfect, our next issue should be on proposals and marriages! But first we'll have to take a poll on how many people are actually getting married, still, you're so smart Kagome!
Sango gave Kagome a quick hug before hurrying out of the room. "Glad I could help…" Kagome told no one. She gave off a heavy sigh and pressed her head onto the table. Her slightly wet, hair fell over her face. "What's your problem?" Kagome lifted her head and saw bright red eyes staring back at her. "Hey Jasmine," It did not seem Kagome had any energy left in her.
"You seem to be depressed; you didn't even do your hair." Jasmine went to the counter near the sink and sat on it. Today she had on a long bohemian orange and red dress. She had a white sweater on top and white flats. "You seem bright today, Jasmine."
"It's my sister's birthday today." Kagome nodded and slumped once again. "Really Kagome, you're so sad today. We finished the layout for the cosmetics section earlier then usual and you can't even be excited about that." Jasmine plucked at the edge of her sweater before she looked up again to Kagome. The high I was on all day is going away, Kagome, and it's all your fault!"
"Fine, I'll tell you." Kagome looked up. "Since this morning I've been depressed and my so called best friend didn't bother to ask me what wrong, that's why I feel so depressed."
"What! That's the reason you're depressed? Then you have got some issues!" Kagome turned to see an annoyed Sango. Jasmine 'tshed' and slid off the counter to make some tea. "Really Kagome, what's wrong. Even when I was complaining about Miroku you seemed out of it; usually when I complain about him you're so into it."
"Sango you aren't going to believe what happened." Sango took a seat right next to Kagome and waited for Kagome to continue. "This morning Sesshomaru called,"
"Wait, Sesshomaru from high school Sesshomaru?"
Kagome nodded, "Well he called and I was so excited a sort of blanked out most of what he said. By the time I came back from the excitement I was agreeing to go somewhere with Shippo tonight at eight."
Sango stared at him with wide eyes. The tea kettle whistled and Kagome turned to watch Jasmine pour the water into the leaves she had in the cup already. "Hold up, where, why?"
"I don't know. That's the problem. I agreed to do something with Shippo and I don't even know what, it's just that Sesshomaru has such a sexy phone voice and my brain canceled it out so I could function properly." Jasmine came to the table with her cup and blew into it. Kagome looked back to Sango. "What am I suppose to wear, should I eat before I go?"
"Sesshomaru what?" both Sango and Kagome looked up to Jasmine. "What did you say?"
"Sesshomaru what? What his last name?" Kagome and Sango shared a blink. "Takahashi, his name is Sesshomaru Takahashi." Jasmine almost choked on her own spit. She took a sip of the tea before speaking, "And you said eight o'clock right?" Kagome nodded.
"Well, my sister is having her birthday party at that time, I'm pretty sure her lawyer was invited and received and invitation that said 'bring friends or family' on it."
"So wait, you think Sesshomaru is your sister's lawyer?" Jasmine shook her head, "I don't think I know. Sesshomaru is a dog demon right?" Kagome nodded. "He's from the silver clan right?" Kagome nodded. "Well then that's him, there's not much of the silver clan left you know."
"No I don't know but that doesn't matter right now."
"Right," Sango added her two cents. "What's important is to find what Kagome and Shippo should wear tonight." Jasmine and Kagome both nodded. "But we still need to work." Jasmine sipped her tea and Kagome gave her shoulders a rub.
"Well, off to work kiddies." Sango left Kagome and Jasmine. "Hey, Jasmine, Sesshomaru works in this building, he has to be a high classed lawyer." Jasmine nodded and Kagome had to continue, "What does your sister do?"
"My sister is Thuy Lumbarc," Kagome's mouth dried up. Thuy Lumbarc was known as the queen of the demon world. She was a great head and infamous around the humans as well however she and her father were inventors especially for demons. They built power binders, illusions and much more Thuy Lumbarc was also the founder of "Next Step" enterprises the biggest selling electronic industry in the world.
"I guess her birthday party is a big deal then." Jasmine looked up from her now empty cup. "Thuy's birthday party is the big deal."

I started this then I ignored it. It was going to become a story
Summery: Kagome's life is pretty normal and unexciting. She loves her work and she loves her Shippo but her heart is really big so there is always space for someone, too bad a person she loves doesn't want to love her back
But I changed my mind. Grr I don't know what this will become
