Whoa, it's been a long wait, sorry about that. It's just that I've been trying to concentrate on other stories as well as draw some new things, mainly for my comic that I'm still working on. I promise that the next chapter won't take so long since I'm practically done with it but I have to touch it up a little.

Sorry for the lack of creativity in making a title, I seriously didn't know what to call it.

Stripped

"I told you specifically no party!" Sesshomaru growled as he was being pulled…well more like Miroku, Koga, and Inuyasha trying their best to move the youkai out of the condo.

"Come on it'll be fun." Koga said as he gave one last pull before taking a break.

"Tonight's the last night you're a free man, may as well enjoy it while you can." Miroku said with a lecherous gleam in his eye.

"Yea, you'll be leashed and turned into an obedient lapdog, not that I'm complainin'." Inuyasha said while laughing a bit.

"I'm already 'leashed' as you call it when I mated Kagome. Hell, it's been like that before then." Sesshomaru said as he rolled his eyes.

"But you're truly making it official with the ceremony and all. Besides, in human terms, you're still considered a bachelor so let's have this party."

"You make no sense what so ever half-breed. Let me spell it out. I. Am. Mated…"

"Yea yea, whatever. Come on Sess, I promise you'll enjoy it."

Sesshomaru sighed. He could tell that he would be ready to rip something apart in a few minutes.

"If I decide to go to this ridiculous party, will you leave me be? Also, if I don't like it, you'll let me go home."

"Yes now please let's go!"

Sesshomaru sighed once more before leaving. He really just hoped to stay home and sleep until the big day came. Kagome had already gone to her own party and she was staying the night over at her old house where it was set. They were following the strange tradition that he wasn't allowed to see her on the day of the wedding and because the party would go well past the hour, she was going to stay.

As he got into his car to follow his brother, he had to wonder what Kagome was up to. Her temper became a little…well, a lot shorter than normal. She was becoming more and more nervous as the days winded down causing her to be completely stressed out. His advice to just slow down and take a break just made her feel even more angry saying that he's not doing anything for the wedding then she would spontaneously burst into tears thinking that he didn't want to go through the ceremony. After that, she would get angry at him once again and tell him that he must not love her after all and to remove the mating bond…then she would cry once more apologizing and then take a pint of ice strawberry cream and chocolate chip cookies as her hostage.

He sighed as he thought that after tomorrow blew right by that it would be just the two of them and no interruptions.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Kagome, smile. This night is all about you." Sango said sitting next to Kagome on her old bed.

Kagome was curled up in the center of her bed, where she had been all day. She looked and felt miserable when she had no reason to be. She was getting married to the love of her life, everything was set up just as it was supposed to be, and her friends had been working their asses off to set this party for her. What the hell was wrong with her?

Kagome felt her stomach churn, she was stressed. Her mother told her that most brides are like this. She just supposed that she would have to suck it up and try to relax with this party.

"You're right Sango, I'm sorry for being such a downer." Kagome said as she sat up.

She felt arms go around her and turned to see Ayame. She hugged Ayame back as she said, "Don't blame yourself for something you can't control. There's nothing wrong with being nervous."

"I hate feeling like this. My energy is always being drained because my emotions keep changing."

Sango then patted her back and said, "Just calm down, tomorrow will come and go by so fast and then it will be all over and you won't have to worry about Sess plotting to kill crazy wedding planners anymore."

Kagome smiled, she was really grateful to have friends like them.

"Well, looks like you're feeling better, let's go party, everyone's waiting on you."

All three girls then stood up and walked down stairs where the party awaited them.

In the living room was Kikyo, Sara, Yura, and other girls that they met over the years and befriended.

"About time you came down here." Sara said as she went up and hugged Kagome. Both she and Yura became very great friends since giving up on Sesshomaru. In fact they thank her for that because they would have never found Bankotsu and Suikotsu.

"I wasn't feeling well but I'm alright now." Kagome said as she greeted the rest of the women assembled.

"Well now that our bride-to-be is here, we could finally get this party started." Sango cheered as she threw an arm around Kagome.

Ayame turned on some music and all of the women started dancing while drinks were being passed out. Kagome kindly turned down a glass remembering her one and only time she drank alcohol and the promise she made after that horrible experience. She opted for some orange juice. As she poured the last bit in a glass, she realized that she would have to buy a new carton for her mother. She had been drinking it all day and was basically guzzling it down as if it was the only source of liquid in a dry world.

"Well you could never have too much vitamin C." She said as she threw the empty carton with the other things that were to be recycled before going back to the party.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

This was not his idea of fun, sitting around a bunch of drunken idiots as they told stories of their women. He surely didn't want to know about his friend's sex lives, especially his brothers. Just because the mutt walked in on over half of his escapades didn't mean that he wanted to know about his.

Once again he tried going out of the front door but that damned Miroku placed five incredibly strong seals on the door, and anywhere else that he could escape, keeping him locked in. Who knew the pervert had such great holy powers in him. They're not really strong enough to really do any damage to him but they're not something to play with either. He sighed as he went to get another beer from the cooler he was hoping that if he gotten himself buzzed, the night would go much better and faster so that he could go home.

He opened the bottle and turned to go back into the room, just as he was about to walk in, he heard the doorbell ring. He was about to open it but thought better of it. It wasn't his home and so he had no right to open the door for any strangers.

The taiyoukai walked back in the room and sat down in his spot before he looked to Miroku. He obviously didn't hear the doorbell ring since he was busy chugging beer while the rest cheered him on.

"Miroku." Sesshomaru said firmly so that the man could hear him.

"Y-yea Sess." He said with a drunken grin and then burped.

Sesshomaru ignored the smell of his breath that was laced with alcohol and made his point just as the doorbell rang again. Miroku finally understood and scrambled to get it. As he left, the others started chuckling to themselves. It was then that he knew that something was up.

"Is there someone named Sesshomaru here?" A feminine voice asked.

Sesshomaru growled low, he should have known.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

The girls were having a great time they played a few games and were now down to opening gifts.

"Open mine first Kags." Sango said as she handed her a box.

Kagome giggled as she took it and shook it a little. She couldn't tell what was inside so she just decided to go on and open it. Inside was a very saucy black piece of lingerie.

"That's for your wedding night." Sango said as she got a hug from Kagome.

Kagome smiled and placed it over her body and giving everyone a playful seductive look before laughing. "Thanks San. I really love it but I give it three minutes before Sess puts his claws to it. I can't keep a single piece of underwear intact around him."

Kagome went on to receive spa kits and massage oils, something she was sure that she and Sesshomaru would use up right away. Neither haven't received a good massage in a while being so busy with the wedding. She also got some chocolate body paint. Sesshomaru wouldn't care for it being the dog he is but she would surely enjoy having a taiyoukai candy bar. She also got a nice photo frame that she could place her wedding photo in and it also doubled as a clock, a scrapbook with all of the components to go with it, and other small things.

"Thanks so much guys." Kagome sniffed and wiped her eye as a tear spilled from it. "I appreciate everything that you've done for me."

Ayame then came up to her and said, "There's still one more surprise for you."

Sango looked at her friend in a questioning gaze and her eyes widened a fraction realizing just what that surprise could be.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

The two scandalously clad women ran from the house crying. Miroku ran behind them yelling, "No, don't run. He didn't mean it, I promise!"

It was of no use as the women ran to the car that they came there in.

Inuyasha punched his brother in his arm and barked, "Why the hell did you scare them away?"

Sesshomaru simply brushed it away and said with a cold glare, "Half-breed, do I have to remind you that you do have a wife and mate at home and you hire strippers, you should be ashamed of yourself. Unlike you, I have chosen to be loyal to my mate."

Inuyasha just pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "We weren't going to let them do their entire routine because we knew you were going to be like this."

"You shouldn't have hired them in the first place then."

Inuyasha growled at his brother but Miroku calmed him down then said to the demon, "It was just for fun, that's what you do at a bachelor's party. The girls probably have their own male stripper at their party."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened at that. Kagome wouldn't allow her friends to do that. Right?

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sango pulled Ayame to the side, away from everyone to talk. "You didn't hire the stripper did you?"

Ayame rolled her eyes and replied, "Come on Sango, it's a bachelorette's party. What do you expect?"

Sango sighed a frustrating sigh and said, "I told you not to because you know just how Sesshomaru would react if he ever found out. He would hunt the poor man down and turn him into a woman.

"Oh please, everything will be fine. You know the guys probably got their own entertainment, knowing Miroku anyway."

Sango narrowed her eyes thinking about it while muttering, "The lecher better not if he values our nights together."

"It will be fun and you know it."

"I don't know about this."

Ayame was about to respond when there was a knock on the door.

Sango's eyes widened and Ayame had a smile on her face as she walked away. "That's him, I promise you'll love it."

Sango sighed once again and walked behind her. Ayame then went to the door and opened it, the moment she did that, a blur went right past her and Sango. They stood looking around wondering what was going on.

"Ayame, what the hell kind of stripper did you hire?" Sango asked as she looked to her friend.

Ayame shrugged, still looking around outside and said, "I haired a fireman."

All of a sudden, they heard Kikyo calling them from the other room. They turned to see her coming up to them. "Guys, Kagome, she's gone."

All three of them went to the living room where everyone else was now looking for the missing woman.

"What happened?" Ayame asked.

Yura stopped looking for a second to reply, "We don't know, she just vanished in thin air. All we saw was a blur."

Sango then turned to Ayame and said, "You don't think that…"

Ayame then sighed and said, "That seems to be the only answer and I think it would be very wise to end the party now."

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Kagome was lying on her old bed, her mate kissed her neck, then jaw, then pulled her ear lobe in his teeth before whispering, "Naughty mate, you dare let another male touch what's mine. You will be punished."

Kagome moaned softly and tried to put her arms around his neck but he had quickly tied them to the headboard with some ribbon he found laying around.

"I don't even know what you're talking about, what other male?" Kagome struggled to ask not knowing of what Ayame had planned the entire time.

Sesshomaru sighed before pulling back to stand up. "Hn, well I think you're lying."

She looked at him in disbelief, how could he not believe her? She was about to ask him that when she saw him smile and knew that he believed her and he had a devious thought.

The next words that came from him as he took off his shirt not only confirmed her thoughts, but also told her what her friends planned to give her as her last 'gift.'

"If you wanted a male stripper, you should have just called me."

Well you all knows what happens next. The next update won't take long at all.
