Chapter Seven: Banquet

"Oh my god Kagome! That gown looks amazing on you, you are beautiful." Sango and I were in my room and I was admiring myself in the mirror. For having only hours to get ready for big corporation banquet, I did one hell of a job. I was in a form fitting light sky blue that slowly turned white so the edge that touched the floor would be a pure white. The dress was tight until it hit mid thigh where a slit opened up on my left leg. Ruffles start at about my knee and there was one strap on my right shoulder. A corset underneath held my breast in a teasing matter and showed off my small waist with wide hips. My hair was in big lazy curls that had been put up in a messy bun with small curls down around my face and neck. Dark blue eye shadow was added to give my eyes a smokey look. I wore white stilettos to complete my outfit.

He wants to play a game then we will play a game. I was giving him what he wanted, something to show off and flash to all the guys. What he doesn't know is that it is going to bite him in the ass. I'm going to replace him with a man that recognizes that I am my own person. I am not someone's property or trophy, so don't treat me like it.

"Damn Kagome you look beautiful." Kouga was in the door in a black suit with a blue shirt a tad darker than my dress. His hair had been put in a high pony tail, he was practically fucking me with his eyes. A smile crosses my face as I walk towards him.

"Don't look at me like that Kouga it was a onetime thing. Are we going?" A nod is my response as I take his arm. We made our way outside to the limo that he had waiting for us to take to the "big event". The back of the limo was quiet and temperature perfectly. There was a mini bar and a sun roof, but it wasn't fun. He wouldn't stop touching me trying to get me to blow him before we got there. "Kouga knock it off."

"You belong to me Kagome, you have to do what I want you to. This isn't a game, you won't be able to get rid of me just deal with it." I remove his hand from my body for the millionth time, we lock eyes.

"Kouga darling, this is a game. You don't play games with a girl who can play better. I am going to run you into the ground, I will find someone to help rid you from me. If I have to kill you Kouga so be it, but I will not be someone's trophy again." The smile on my face is big and sweet. He looked like he was going to reply but the door was open with camera flashes. Kouga steps out and I give him my hand like I'm supposed to. The smile on my face never faltering. I looked like I was supposed to, like I was happy being there with him. The doors to the building open and we enter a huge room done in dark tones of grays with white and light blues and greens. The lighting and art work was tasteful. There was a bar to the far right side of the room. There was a small space between the doors and the grouping of tables. The tables were large with white table cloths with red rose petals on them. You could seat eight at a table and there had to be over thirty tables. We walked through them and the crowd of people. Most were sitting others were headed to the dance floor on the other side of the cluster of tables.

The table that we sat at was almost full except for the seats we took. Three males at the table all had to be related. Long silver hair, molten gold eyes, and handsome strong facial features were all the same between them. The older one was married so I was betting that the other two were his sons. Both of their dates seemed to be on the slutty sides, the only way to assume this was the pounds of makeup they were wearing and how their boobs were about to fall out and greet everyone at the table.

"Hello Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Inu no Tashio. This is my date Kagome," Kouga motions his hand to me. The older male held his hand out to me and I shook it, Inuyasha was looking at me hungrily and Sesshomaru simply nodded. The female with Inu turned to me and smiled, I was guessing she saw how the other two girls looked at me. Those little girls were full of hate.

"Hello Kagome, my name is Izayoi. I am the mother of the two boys here and this is my husband. Your dress is lovely," she shook hands with me. She was wearing a lilac colored gown. It was simple but flattering.

"Your dress is gorgeous. I love that color."

"Thank you dear. So tell me about yourself, did you go to college?" I had her full attention. Like no one else at this table existed. I shrugged Kouga's hand off me almost as soon as he laid it upon my shoulder.

"Sadly I didn't. But I did do independent studies. I know several languages, and I studied business and law. I know just about everything you need to know when it comes to running a business and when it comes to the laws."

"My you are a smart girl. Sesshomaru why don't you do something and take this girl out to dance. No reason to keep her here at this table." He nodded and stood. Power swirled around him as if it was his aura. He was a powerful demon. He could help me escape. He walked around the table. I stood and took his arm letting him lead me to the dance floor. Even with the heels I barely came up to his shoulders. He was wearing a light gray tux with a very white shirt underneath. Even with clothes on you could tell he was very fit.

He turned to me when we reached the dance floor and I stared up into his eyes as he took my hand and drew me close. With his other hand on my lower back and my hand on his shoulder we began to dance. He wouldn't break eye contact. It was time to attempt to get his help…
