"Finally finished." Ai said as she rubbed her hands together, as if she were dusting them off. The living room was decorated with streamers that were the color of leaves during the fall season. There were also ballons that were brown and held an image on them of different colored leaves that were about the room and mini house. The hallway held a giant banner that read 'HAPPY LABOR DAY!' and in the kitchen, the table wore a white table cloth that had a golden, foil leaves that wover around it. The food was all laid out, and it looked good. There was hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, rice balls, oden, ramen and a lot more. There was also chips and soda out on the table and counters.

"Everything is perfect!" Kagome exclaimed.

"I know. Now, where's Kikyo and Inuyasha?" She asked more to herself. As if they'd been summoned, the couple appeared beside her.

"Everyone said their coming." Kikyo reported.

"Same here."

"Good. Now all that's left is to get ready. We only have 2 hours. Chop Chop!" She shoved everyone that didn't live there out the door.

"Kikyo, Sango! Come back when you have your outfits ready!"

"Okay!"

"I call shower!" Kagome shouted as she ran to her room.

"But it's your shower!" Ai shouted but her reply went unnoticed. She rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath. She was making her way to her room when there was a knock at the door.

"What?!" she shouted in an annoyed voice.

"It's us!" Came Kikyo's voice from the other side. Ai hurriedly opened the door and yanked the two girls inside before locking the door back.

"Your outfits in there?" She asked, pointing to their plastic bags.

"Yep."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower, Kagome-chan should be done in a while so one of ya'll can use hers." With that, she headed to her room.

-------------

"Where's my heaband?!" Sango shouted as she threw her clothes around the room.

"Right here." Kagome said dryly as she held it on the tip of her index finger.

"Arigatou." She put it in her hair.

"I have to finish my hair and put on my make up!" Kikyo cried.

"You put your make up on and I'll do your hair." Sango offered.

"You're such a lifesaver, Sango!" She hugged the girly fiercely before grabbing her makeup kit and sitting in front of the mirror.

"Ai, throw me my pants!" Kagome called to the kitsune.

"Which ones?" She called back.

"The dark colored skinny legs!" She held her hand out as she caught them.

"Kags, you've seen my yellow tank?"

"Look in the closet, on the shelf to the right. That's where I last saw it!"

"I don't--Found it!"

Finally, the girls were ready after much chaos.

Kagome wore a white cami that had sheer, brown lace with a floral pattern and it had a drawstring drop waist. With that, she wore indigo denim skinny pants and on her feet she had brown strappy buckle heels that had a 1" heel. Her hair was pulled back by a brown, double cloth head bown and left naturally wavy. She wore very little makeup, only clear lipgloss and light eyeshadow.

Kikyo had on a brown halter dress that had brown and orange wide, beaded strings. It was tight at the bust then flowed freely down to just at her knees, brown flip flops with criss-crossed straps that were adorned with orang beads. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail that was curled at the ends. She had applied a little makeup that consisted of barely there brown eyeshadow, mascara, and natural beige lipgloss.

Ai chose a yellow camit topped with an orange short-puffy sleeved jacket that tied at the waist. To go withthat, she put on a light sandblast shorts that had tulip style pockets and ended at her thigh. Brown ballet flats that had faux brushed suede and gold studded ankle strap. Part of her hair was pulled into a ponytail and the other half was left down. She had light orange eyeshadow and clear lipgloss with a hint of cinnamon.

Last but surely not least, Sango. She was wearing a dark sandblast demin jacket that stopped just below her breast, a red cami underneath that and dark sandblast destroyed bermuda with a raw turned cuff hemline. She wore simple red sandals that wrapped around her ankle. Her hair was in two ponytails at the nape of her neck. She had on a red necklace that held a white leaf at the end and a red bracelet and she wore no make up.

"Everyone looks fabulouuuuuuus!" Ai sang out. Everyone covered their ears at the horrible soudn emitting from their friend.

"You're just hatin' cause I can sing." She said. They all rolled their eyes and pretended to agree.

"Yea, sure we do."

"Whatever. I'll get the door."

"But nobody''s--" Kagome stopped talking when there was a knock at the door. Ai smiled and said,

"I'm a demon, remember?" She laughed at Kagome's blush as she skipped out the room.

----------

"Hey, guys! Right on time!" She said as she ushered them in. "For once." She muttered under her breath. She looked startled at the glares she was receiving and put on an innoncent face.

"Hai?" She said. They sighed simultaneously and Ai changed the subject.

"You guys look good." She said, admiring their attire. Kei was wearing a striped button down shirt in a blue that faded from light to dark, dark jeans, and white tennis shoes. His hair was spiky like usual and this time he didn' t wear his gloves. The others wore the same thing but Inuyasha' s shirt(no fade) was ride, his pants black, and his shoes black and red. Sesshomaru's shirt was black with light jeans, and black shoes. Miroku's was purle, dark navy pants, and dark navy shoes.

"We know." Kei smirked and Ai blushed.

"Where's the other girls?" Inuyasha asked.

"Right here." The boys looked behind Ai and their mouths dropped.

"Sango, you look as beautiful as ever!" He hugged her and it was all good until...

"PERVERT!" Next thing he knows, he's on the floor.

"That poor, unfortunate soul." Ai muttered and everyone nodded in agreement.

"You look nice." Inuyasha said with a small blush dusting his cheeks.

"Arigatou. You too."

"Oh geez! You two are acting like you just met!" Sango said.

Kagome was getting pretty uncomfortable with Sesshomaru staring at her like that. His gaze bore into her and it was making her nervous.

"Sesshomaru, watcha staring so hard at?" Inuyasha asked with a barely suppressed snicker. Sesshomaru' s cold gaze turned to him,

"None of your business." he replied coolly.

"Sure, sure." Before anything else could be said, there was a knock at the door.

"The party people are here!"
