"Ugh, why does Sango have to be so convincing?" Kagome grumbled as she was walking in the lobby. Finally it was time to end the day, but tonight was the big dinner that Sango had told Kagome about earlier that day. It's gonna be hell tonight. Kagome pouted as she walked on, her face downcast so she really couldn't see where she was going until she bumped into a very hard object and fell back. Kagome closed her eyes as she felt herself fall , but suddenly she stopped in midair as something held her in place to keep her from falling. Kagome opened her eyes to meet a pair of amber eyes staring at her with worry. Kagome let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding. Inuyasha broke the silence.

"You idiot! Are you ok? You could have hurt yourself. Geez." Inuyasha said to Kagome as he brought them up to stand. He still had his arms around her. She looked down at his arms and so did he. They both blushed and Kagome pulled herself out of his arms.

"I'm fine, thanks for saving me." Kagome flashed Inuyasha a smile.

"Keh. Whatever." Inuyasha said, looking down to hide his blush.

"Look I'm sorry I spilled water on you the other day its just I was kind of distracted and I wasn't thinking," Kagome explained as Inuyasha's eyes met her own as she apologized.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Keh, don't worry about it. Just water." Inuyasha tried to change the subject to make themselves more comfortable. "So, hear about the dinner tonight?"

Kagome nodded her head. "Yeah, Sango told me today. I really don't want to go, but she convinced me."

"Oh. My manager is making me go as well, but look on the brightside, at least you'll see me there," Inuyasha said with a cocky grin.

Kagome smirked. "Oh yes, I'm sure it'll be a much better party tonight with you there." Kagome said playfully and giggled.

Inuyasha pouted and did his puppy dog face to act like he was hurt. "Aww," Kagome said, "don't worry Mr. Takahashi , I'm glad you're going tonight." Kagome smiled and rubbed his little doggy ears to assure him she meant it. Inuyasha's face was a mask of shock at what she was doing, but before he could say anything Kagome interrupted him. "So, see you tonight then." Kagome started to walk off.

"Kagome."

"Yes." Kagome turned.

"It's Inuyasha not Mr. Takahashi." he said with a smile.

Kagome smiled. "I'll remember that." And then she was off to get ready for the event.

Something about that girl. Inuyasha thought to himself as he watched her leave The Shikon Plaza. Inuyasha shook his head out of his thoughts when his cell phone rang. Inuyasha sighed. "Duty calls."

"Eri! What am I going to wear tonight? I have nothing!" Kagome was scrambling around her house to find something to wear, with less than an hour until the party. Meanwhile Eri was rummaging through her closet to find something..anything really.

"I found it Kagome!" Eri screamed in delight. It was her beautiful dress she had worn to her mother's second wedding last year, it would probably fit Kagome. The dress was a light shade of pink that dipped low at the chest, ruffled sleeves, and went down to the ankles. It came with a set of diamond earrings and necklace. With all of it on Kagome, it would look dazzling.

Kagome ran to her friend's room and skidded to a halt, out of breath. "Thank God Eri! You're a lifesaver!" Kagome hugged her friend and grabbed the dress to go try it on in the bathroom.

Eri giggled at her best friend's actions. And then it hit her. 'What am I going to wear.' Eri's eyes widened. 'Crap.'

'This is so boring.' Inuyasha said to himself as he sat at his table in the grand dining hall in The Shikon Plaza with all the other employees. He was being introduced to many people and it just got him tired and agitated. He was praying for a distraction. And he was about to get just that. A light caught his eye and he turned to face where it was coming from. It was coming from a girl's dress. Inuyasha tried to contain his excitement as he found out who the dress belonged to. Kagome. 'She came.' Inuyasha smiled at her and Kagome looked at him just in time to catch his smile. Kagome let a smile come out from her nervousness and waved to him. The whole room was watching as Kagome came down the staircase and they all turned around to see who Kagome was waving at. Inuyasha blushed at the attention and shrunk into his chair.

"Keh." Then he waved to Kagome.

Kagome contained the giggle that was trying to come out. And then the unthinkable happened. Not even Kagome knew this would happen. Kagome descended the staircase all the way and felt an arm immediately cover her waist. Kagome looked over to see Inuyasha growling and bunching up the table cloth in his claws. Kagome swung her head up to see who was making Inuyasha so furious. Then it was Kagome's turn to gape. It was her ex-boyfriend, Kouga.
