"Man I feel like a woman!" Kagome sang along tonelessly to the radio, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel, as she loudly celebrated her crafty escape. "I'm going out tonight…cant remember what comes next -have a good time!" She continued to sing, shaking her hips and tossing her head about in an all out seat dance. "HAVE A LITTLE FUN! DO IT AGAIN!YEAH!"

The night was a surprisingly silent night, Kagome noticed as the song ended and she came to a stop at a red light. The street around her were empty of any cross traffic and the side walks, littered with brightly light shops and cafes were deserted. 'Its Monday right?' she wondered leaning forward over the wheel to get a better look at the street around the corner. Empty.

Kagome leaned back in her seat, frowning slightly as the light changed to green and she drove on. 'Maybe this is just a side street. Yeah that must be it I'm sure there will be a lot more people when I hit Main Street,' she thought with a shrug.

'Perfect' Sesshomaru thought as he watched the clueless woman drive by. He hadn't expected to find her out at this late hour and better yet she was alone! Sesshomaru smirked to himself opening the door to his sleek sports car and disappearing inside. 'This will be easier than I thought.'

"Sikon café? That an interesting name." Kagome muttered as she put the car in park and got out. "Oh well at least this ones open." After nearly three hours of driving around the deserted streets of Tokyo with an empty stomach and without as so much as a clue on how to get back Kagome had nearly given up hope and called Sango putting a permanent end to what Kagome had hoped to be a new routine, then she had spotted it. Nestled on the corner of a back street the homey looking café Sikon wasn't designed to thrill. The aged green paint and flower lined boxes gave it a cottage in the woods kind of feel.

She loved it.

The bell above the door gave a loud cling as it open and Kagome was instantly greeted by a warm elderly voice. "Welcome," the 80 something woman behind the counter called lifting her head from the fresh backed pastries she had been frosting to smile at her. Kagome smiled back before taking a seat near the door. The in side was even better. Kagome smile widened as she took it all in. The small fire place in the far corner burned brightly casting light onto the red brick walls giving the room an out world feel.

"What can I get you dear?" The elderly woman asked coming to stand beside her.

"Um…I'll just have some coffee," She said spotting a menu on the table next to her elbow. She snatched it up and quickly skimmed thru it, " and an apple Danish if its not to much trouble." The elderly woman smiled taking down her order and a small note pat before heading back to the counter.

"Hojo dear could you get the Danishes please?" She called walking over the coffee machine.

"Sure gram just a sec," came the muffled reply from some where in the back room. A few minuets later a young man carrying a huge metal tray came out of a back door and set it down on the counter. "Ok here's the Danish you wanted Gram. Oh a customer! Good morning." He said finally noticing Kagome.

"Good morning," Kagome relied picking up her coffee the old woman had just set in front of her and adding cream. "it's a nice café you have here."

He smiled picking up a Danish and setting it on a tray. "Yeah thanks. Enjoy your Danish! My names Hojo by the way." He said, waved once over his shoulder as he walked away then disappeared back into the other room.
