The deal that Sesshomaru had made with Kagome had seemed quite simple. He was simply to tell Inuyasha that Kagome liked him, and Kagome would persuade Luna to date him. In truth, as he was realizing, this was nearly an impossible task. It wasn't that he couldn't say it, but rather that Inuyasha wouldn't listen.

"Inuyasha, if you'd just listen for a moment-"

"Feh." The half-demon walked to the other side of the room, grumbling under his breath.

Sesshomaru chased him. "This is important, Inuyasha..."

"Leave me alone." Inuyasha hurried to the side that he had just came from.

Sesshomaru could feel the anger building, but before he could stop it, he yelled, "Damn it! Kagome likes you, and we made a deal that if I tell you that she likes you that she'll get Luna to go out with me!" His face turned dark red as he realized what he had just blurted out.

Inuyasha's eyes were wide with shock. "Y-you mean... she likes me?"

"Yes, little brother." Sesshomaru was hiding his face.

Inuyasha smiled, appearing as if that was all he had noticed. "She likes me..."

Sesshomaru flinched suddenly, feeling a small hand touch his shoulder. "Good job, Sesshomaru," the owner of the hand cheerfully replied to the unspoken question. "I'll talk to Luna for you."

"Talk to me about what?" The alto voice of the half-demon girl in question resounded in the empty space of the apartment's living room. "Damn echo..."

"Do you like Sesshomaru?" Kagome turned to look at the tiny girl, still wrapped in the fluffy thing that Sesshomaru usually carried with him.

"Wha..." Her face turned bright red, eyes wide with surprise at the unexpected question. "What makes you think that?" Laughing nervously, Luna scratched the back of her head as an attempt to excuse her trembling.

"Well, do you? You know, the sooner you admit to it, the sooner I'll stop asking..."

"But he's right there!" If Luna could have died of embarrassment, she would have, by this point.

"And he likes you, so just admit it already. I have other things to do besides pester little half-demon girls, you know."

Luna paused as her brain processed this information. 'Wait... he likes me? A purebred demon... and royalty, at that... does he not realize he'll be killed if anyone found out?' "He'll be in danger if I say anything." Her voice was cold, but sounded forced. "I cannot allow him to like me."

"Do you not realize," Sesshomaru paused as Luna's eyes met his, "That I've thought of that already? I'm willing to take the risk. As for you, the worst you could get is a beheading, but since your head can detach from your body... I really don't think they'll manage to do much. I can fight as well as you... And I say that I like you. I dare to like you."

"That has to be the longest statement you've ever said to me." Luna's comment caught him off-guard. What surprised him further was that she stood up and strode over to him, swaying slightly as she walked. "Since you dare to like me... I'll dare to date you. How's about that, killer?" Luna's grin held almost a mischievious light to it, matching the gleam in her eyes and the tone in her voice.

"I'd like that quite a bit."

"How sweet!" Kagome's whisper caught Inuyasha's ear. "Although I find it weird that they kinda look like us..."

"They're like reflections." Inuyasha replied to the overly excited human. "They look like us, but they're the opposite." 'Wow, where did that come from? Though it's true... Still...'
