She was going to kill him, it was the promise she had been repeating all afternoon. She had told, no she had demanded, him not to spend money on her! 'But what does he do? Goes and pays for me to have my hair and makeup done by a specialist!' she thought. She was sitting in front of a mirror looking herself over, since she had just finished getting dolled up she was now seeing the finished product. Kagome was amazed, she didn't even look like herself. No bruises, no red marks, no bags under her eyes, nothing to tell a sad story. She looked beautiful, for the first time in her life she felt wonderful in her own skin. The dress she had bought was a deep midnight blue, perfect to bring out her eyes. It had sparkling sequins that started at her waistline, and then increased in number as your gaze went down. It made the bottom of her dress appear black, and it was a halter top that came with a matching shawl. The makeup artist had gone more natural with her tones, only using a light silver eye shadow with black eye liner and mascara. Then she had left her natural warmth to shine through on her cheeks, and a touch of glittering mauve on her lips.
"I think your ride is here dear." She heard the stylist say, and as she turned around she felt her lungs collapse. Sesshoumaru stood at the door in a black tux with a dark blue undershirt that matched her dress, he looked amazing.
"You look beautiful." His voice rang and she felt her insides melt. He was so handsome, and she was glad that for one night, she could pretend they were a couple.
"You don't look too bad yourself." She said smirking. She walking arm in arm with him out, and into his white sports car. When he sat down, shut the door, and they were on their way she turned to him. "Thank you for my hair and stuff. I told you not to though." She said.
"I'm aware, but I do what I want if you haven't noticed." He replied matching her earlier smirk. "It was money well spent, you're stunning." He said. Only to smirk again when she blushed.
"Stop it Sessh, I'll start to expect such flattering when I'm back to looking like an ugly duckling again." She teased.
"Did the swan ever return to such a state?" he inquired. When she narrowed her eyes at him he chuckled. "I thought not."
"Touché smartass." She replied. Then it got silent as they pulled up to the school auditorium where the dance was being held. They were right on time so a lot of people were already there, but that didn't bother them at all. Kagome was used to blending in with large crowds, and she expected this to be no different. How wrong she would be.
