Kagome woke up and glanced at the clock. 7:04 P.M. Time to go to Souta's Bar. Kagome stretched like a cat and got out of bed. She walked over to her closet and looked at her clothes.
Hmmm...What should I wear tonight? How about something that shows some cleavage. Wait, what?! Why am I thinking about looking sexy so soon after my... replacement...Well, it's not like I really loved Inuyasha, I just had a little "crush" so to speak...right? So I guess it's okay...
She blinked. For a moment she thought that her consciousness had laughed at that. She blinked again before continuing looking for what to wear.
She picked up a black strapless top that had cups in it so that she didn't have to wear a bra. Then she went and picked out a pair of flared skinny jeans and a black, lacey, pair of panties. She quickly stripped out of her pj's and put the new outfit she chose on. Then she grabbed a pair of matching 5½ in. heels and put them on as well. Walking into the into the bathroom, she brushed her hair and teeth, put on some mascara and cherry flavoured lip gloss and walked into her living room.
The living room was a good size, if you lived on your own. Though, compared to Inuyasha's flat, it was as big as his kitchen. It had a black couch that had white, fluffy pillows, a glass coffee table that was black, a shag rug that was dark grey, and a flat screen TV installed on the wall.
Kagome looked for her purse and found it beside the couch. She picked it up, made sure her keys were in it, and walked out of the house, locking the door. She walked down the stairs to her Honda Accord SR9, unlocked and open the door, and started the car, smiling.
She had been saving for this car since she was 14. Okay, maybe not this car, but for a fancier car than what her mom had. When she was 15 and old enough for a job, she started saving up her money and because of that, she's got a nice apartment and a decent car. Kagome buckled in and drove away to Souta's bar, coincidentally a few blocks more down the street.

Sesshomaru just started his Jaguar and was starting to pull out of the parking garage, trying to think how to get rid of Kagura and have a receptionist still working for him. When he left the room, he did not miss Kagura's scent of arousal nor the lust in her gaze. Just thinking about it made him sick.
If only Kagome had come back crying, he'd forgive her if she found a way to get rid of Kagura for
him...
Hmm... You like that miko.
What? Absurd.
Like Santa and the Toothfairy?
Quit messing around and shut up.
No. I'm your conscious, not to mention your youkai self.
Didn't I seal you?
Yes, but I broke free and you like that miko.
Me? liking a ningen musume, not to mention a disobedient miko? It's preposterous. Lucrative.
Sure, but it's true.
Not! Now shut up and leave.
Hnn...Fine, but I will be back.

Kagome walked into the bar, cheery as can be. She then sat at a bar stool and greeted Souta.
"Hey Kagome. It's been awhile. How have you been doing?" he asked.
"Fine really. Inuyasha replaced me with Kikyo though and I quit my job on impulse because I was angry." she replied, her voice still cheery.
"Kagome are you ok? Is it okay for you to be talking about Inuyasha so easily?" Souta stated at his elder sister with a wide eyed expression.
"Yep. After a while of thinking about the "replacing" I realized my love for Inuyasha was only a small crush. I mean, we didn't even kiss."
"Really now? Huh...What are you going to do about your job?"
"I'll just wait for Mr. Stick up his ass to apologize" she replied with a smirk.
"Uhh, Kagome, sorry to break it to you, but...I don't think that he's going to apologize to you. And I doubt he will admit that he was wrong, if he was wrong..." Souta said uneasily. Kagome just sighed.
Yeah...Souta's right. I might as well apologize but it's so unfair! Ugh! Sometimes I truly hate him!
The door opened and Sesshomaru walked in.
Speak of the devil... she thought idly.
Sesshomaru sat next to Kagome who ordered a Double Gin. The moment Sesshomaru sat down however, everybody else scooted away from him expect Kagome.
"Here you go Kagome. Do you want any tonic to go with it?" he asked
"Hmm...sure, just in case" He went and looked underneath the counter to find the tonic. "So," Kagome started "What are you doing here, annoyed not to mention?" she asked
"Hn"
Kagome gulped down the Gin and asked Souta for more while he was still looking for the tonic. Kagome, after waiting for a minute and still not getting an answer poked Sesshomaru in the ribs. "Ne~ answer me!" She poked him harder.
He looked at her with distaste evident on his face and said nothing. Kagome, now annoyed said "Talk to me! Or I'll keep prodding you!"
Sesshomaru, keeping his youkai from teaching the miko a lesson resulting her bare ass in the air, found himself replying to the miko.
"It has nothing to do with you" he said coldly.
"Souta! Hurry up already!" A few seconds later she heard an "ah hah!" and Souta got up again and put the tonic on the counter. Noticing her glass was empty, he refilled it.
"So, what's wrong it the oh so perfect world of Sesshy?" she said.
"Are you looking for a death wish miko or are you just insane?" Came a growl in reply to the use of the word "Sesshy"
"Neither, just annoying" she grinned.
"Hn"
"Hmm, when I annoy you, I seem to get more answers" She then gulped down more of the Double Gin, giggling as her throat tingled.
"I seem to have a problem with my receptionist" he answered at last.
The only reason he told he was to get her to shut up, not to mention she may be able to give him an answer as of how to the issue with the wind sorceress.
Sureee... his beast laughed.
Sesshomaru ignored the remark.
"She's in love with you" Kagome answered idly. Sesshomaru let shock show up on his face for a brief second before hiding his emotions again, scowling at the fact he'd given himself away.
"That or she took something of yours, but I doubt it."
He smirked and said hautly "All women fall in love with this Sesshomaru"
Kagome rolled her eyes at this." Apparently not because I didn't".
"Hn."
Not yet you didn't.
Silence.
"Well, there's a few things you can do to get rid of her"
"Which are..." he was only indulging himself in her advice so that he could find an acceptable way to fire the wind witch.
A snort came from the deeper recesses of his mind.
"You could fire her, which is just cowardly" she said.
"Hn"
"You could tell her you don't want to be in a relationship. You could ignore her" she said with an evil glint lighting up her eyes slowly.
"Hn"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Or..." she let it drag out for drama "You could tell her that you're gay."
Souta watch amusingly as he saw Sesshomaru grab the chair at a lightning fast pace and watch Kagome fall on the floor, letting out a shriek of pain. Sesshomaru acted like nothing had just happened as he asked for some water. Kagome got up and rubbed her now sore butt.
"What was that for? It was just a suggestion!" she couldn't help but giggle.
He picked up his glass and lightly chuckled in it, barely being heard by Kagome and Souta. Kagome watched in slight shock that he wasn't completely stoic and swallowed down the rest of Gin.

Sesshomaru had just left the bar, thinking on how to get rid of Kagura's affection for him. Kagome had given him some idea's, and he thought that it was easier to just to just tell her the truth.
Die wind bitch!
Seeing as nobody was within eyeshot, he rolled his eyes at his beast.
Sesshomaru walked through the parking lot to his car. A minute later, he drove away to the lake near Kagome's apartment, not knowing she lived there of course, to think about the best way to approach the situation.

Kagome sighed. Sesshomaru just left a few minutes ago, and she was bored, having contests with people. So far, nobody has ever beaten her in a drinking contest, and while they were wobbly and about to pass out, she was fine, walking in a straight perfect line. She sighed again, and got into her car, and drove away, heading to her apartment. She had just arrived when she heard a knock on her door.
"Coming!" she said aloud.
She opened the door, and gasped at who she saw.
Kikyo's POV
Kikyo is a sadist. She says so herself. She beat the crap out of Inuyasha only a few hours earlier. Exhausted from the beating, she sighed. Inuyasha was scared to look at her in the eye, and it was starting to piss her off.
Damn that Inuyasha, calling me a bitch and saying he was going to kill me. Well, I pretty much killed him instead, she thought, relishing the memory.
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! INUYASHA!" Kikyo screamed in his ear. She had been calling him for five minutes now, and she was getting annoyed. Suddenly, when she screamed in his ear, he snapped at her and said "Shut up bitch or I'll fucking kil ",he started, but he didn't finish.
Inuyasha was going to pay. Heavily.
"Inuyasha, what did you just say to me?" Kikyo said with a saccharine tone in her voice.
Good... he's scared, and he should be.
"Umm..."
"Umm?" she repeated questionably. "
I said nicely "Please be quiet?" he said nervously.
"Oh really? I'm pretty much positive you said something totally different to me" Kikyo murmured.
"Something along the lines of "Shut up bitch or I'll fucking kill you" she stated rather dangerously.
At that moment, she saw Inuyasha gulp, and she started the beat the crap out of him, causing a big commotion in the store, ultimately leading to them being kicked out . While she was beating
him, she thought she heard him say "Help me mommy!" and started laughing when she kicked him in the nuts.
By accident of course.
Kikyo laughed to herself then, amusement showing in her eyes. That was very... pleasurable...

Kagome gasped. This isn't the person she was expecting. Not that she was expecting anyone of course, right?
"Hello Kagome." a beautiful lacy voice said. Kagome looked at the guest at her front door. It was her childhood friend Setsuna.
"Setsuna! It's been so long! Come in!" Kagome said, slightly dazed at seeing the beautiful hime.
Setsuna was with long silvery copper hair, green and yellow eyes, and the perfect body. Not to mention she is a famous singer of Kagome's time.
"Sorry Kagome. But I'm in a hurry. The only reason I dropped by is because I was in the area. Sorry, but I have to go now, or Taito will yell at me" Setsuna smiled apologetically.
"Oh, really? Well, it was nice seeing you! Can you tell Taito that I said "Hi"?" Kagome asked.
"Of course! Consider it done. Well, it was nice seeing you Kagome. Bye!" Setsuna hugged her for a second, before turning on her heel and going to her limo. Kagome waved "goodbye" until she was out of sight.
That was...weird... It was almost like she came here to check on me... No, I must be imagining it. She only came by to say a quick hello.
.
.

Sesshomaru got up and turned on his heel, walking to his Jaguar. He saw a limo drive away and saw a girl waving at it. His eyes then widened when he saw just who the girl was. Kagome!
She lives here? Why didn't this Sesshomaru know that?
Because you never bothered looking at the address, you just made sure she was close enough.
Didn't I reseal you earlier?
Yes, but I broke free again.
Your annoying.
So are you.
Don't make me reseal you again.
Fine...
He stared at the girl a few moments longer before she abruptly turned and went inside her apartment.
Should this Sesshomaru go visit her? No..we saw her a half hour ago.
So? You still want to see her.
...
Oh, so you're not going to deny it? That's surprising.
Shut up. This Sesshomaru merely finds her as tolerable company.
No and I call bullshit.
Silence!
Sesshomaru was really starting to get annoyed with his loathsome beast.
I refuse to. Plus, you like that onna.
No I don't! She is an impudent annoying miko who doesn't know to keep her mouth shut. And when she finally comes running back to me, I'm going to punish her.
Yeah, punish her by making her yours.
No, I will not!
Fine. Think what you want to, but that doesn't mean that you don't like her.
Shut up. Plus, right now I have to go to that annoying wind sorceress and set her straight. So, even though I want to see her, I have something else to do.
...!
You just admitted you want to see her!
Wha-Okay, that's it, i'm restraining you again.
Jerk.

Kagome was just thinking idly, twiddling her thumbs. She didn't know why, but Sesshomaru kept intruding her thoughts, and it was annoying. If anything, she should be thinking about Inuyasha! But still, his chuckle was at the front of her mind.
He did chuckle, right? I didn't imagine that? No, it was real, but it was...weird. The normally arrogant, haughty, and stoic inu yokai chuckled for the first the I've ever heard! And for some reason I feel a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach thinking about him!
What is this feeling?!
Sighing, she changed out of her clothes into her pj's from earlier and went into the bathroom to take off the mascara and brush her teeth, before crawling into bed and letting darkness take over her mind.
