Kagome walked down the path from her home as she went on her way to school. As she made her way down the road and stopped at the streetlight. A convoy of cars and trucks passes by and six planes and jets flew overhead. Kagome looked on along with other curious spectators.

"What was that?" Kagome asked.

"The Autobots I assume." A man said next to her.

Kagome turned to look down the road where the Autobots drove by. 'Mmm. Why would they be here?"

"They must be here to guard the Shikon shard." The man added.

"WHAT?!" Kagome exclaimed and gained a few strange looks from passer buyers.

When the cross light turned green Kagome ran across the crossway embarrassed for raising her voice.

"Should I go tell Inuyasha?" Kagome asked herself "If it's in a museum I can't take it! Inuyasha may be able to but the Autobots."

Kagome spent the rest of the school day pondering her decision. She'll tell Inuyasha but what then?

"Kagome!" She turned to the voice that called her.

"Hojo!" Kagome greeted the young man.

"I was hoping you'd be free tonight to go to the museum's grand opening. Your grandfather told me your very interested in the Shikon No tama!" Hojo said as he walked next to Kagome.

"Yes I am but...I was going to-"

Hojo's hopeful face dropped. Kagome sighed and gave in.

"I'd love to go with you, Hojo!"

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7:00!" Hojo exclaimed happily and rode off on his bike. Kagome let of a breathe she had been holding only to suck it back in as her friends suddenly appeared and bombarded her with questions.

"Kagome did he ask you out?"

"Did you say 'yes'?"

"What happened?"

Kagome explained their planes to go to the grand opening of the Museum, but they were already going on about 'Hojo and Kagome's future' and so on.

Kagome sweat dropped as her friends took her, by force, to the mall to pick out an outfit for her date with Hojo.

"It's not a date! He's taking me to the Museum that's all!" She screamed in protest as they tried out new outfits.

"That's what you say."

"You're not still hung over that psycho are you?"

"You mean the one who's two timing Kagome with his Ex?"

"Yep!"

"Poor Kagome...so young, so naïve."

"I'm the same age as you..." Kagome stated. 'They make this so complicated...like a cheep soap opera.'

They finally picked picked-out a bright pink Kimono with Sakura embroidered into the fabric.

"You look like a princess Kagome! Hojo's so lucky!"

"I have an Obi you can use! It would look so beautiful with your new Kimono!"

Kagome was glad they were having fun playing 'dress up Kagome' but it was getting late and she still wanted to go see Inuyasha and tell him of the shard. It was 6:30 when she got home. Kagome took a quick shower and pulled on her Kimono and put on the Obi that her friend Ayami aloud her to barrow that evening.

"Hojo should be here any second..."

"Whose Hojo?"

Kagome jumped at the voice.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome snapped. "Don't do that!"

Inuyasha turned his head and snorted.

"Whatever. So you ready to go or what? Your all dressed up, how come?"

"Well...I sort of have a..."

"A what?"

"A date..." Kagome mentally scowled herself for calling it that!

Inuyasha just starred at her.

"With this 'Hojo'?" Inuyasha asked with a strange look on his face.

Kagome nodded.

"We'll I'm coming with you then."

"You can't go to the Museum opening!"

"Why not? You're going..." Inuyasha countered with a sly smirk.

"I'm only going because there's a Shikon shard there!" Kagome quickly covered her mouth.

Inuyasha ears pricked up.

"A Shikon jewel shard? Here?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome nodded.

"Well I'm going no matter what now!" Inuyasha stated.

"You can't! Your ears will show and I doubt anyone will think you're a demon!"

"Who cares if they know I'm a demon?"

"I do! They won't simply hand over the jewel!"

Inuyasha didn't want to hear anymore. "I'm going Kagome! We're looking for jewel shards and no one will stop me from getting that shard!

Kagome nodded.

"I know how you feel Inuyasha, but we can't simply take the jewel. We have to find a way around the security and take the jewel without getting caught."

"I'll just run in take the jewel and be gone!" Inuyasha snorted.

"Inuyasha! You can't just-"Kagome cut herself off. "I think that's a good idea!"

"What?" Inuyasha said surprised at Kagome's agreement with his idea. She never agreed to any of his ideas...

"Me and Hojo are going to be at the opening and everyone will be there to look at the jewel and fawn over it. If you simply barge in and grabbed the jewel and run off no one will think it was me! So I won't get arrested or anything! They'll be looking for a guy in a red kimono with dog-ears. By the time they can follow you you'll be back in the feudal era!"

"So that's the plan?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yep! Wait till everyone is in the Museum and the door are closed Ok?" Kagome asked innocently.

Inuyasha nodded. "By the way...what's a Museum?"

Kagome quickly explained it and told him how to get there.

Just than the doorbell rang.

"Well I'm off." Kagome said as she carefully made her way down the stairs. Inuyasha jumped down out of the window into the tree next to Kagome's room.

"This is my idea of jewel hunting.' He said as he ran off towards the search lights that Kagome said to follow.
