A.N. okay, this story will probably be long. But I'm not updating for a long time. So I hope you like this chapter.

Chapter 3

Last Time
"I was thinking sabotage," he stated, as if it were a daily suggestion.

"Well Sesshoumaru," Kagome said with a grin, "I think we might just work something out."

Now
"Mom," Kagome called when she walked in the house, "I'm home."

Kagome's mother walked into the living room with a smile on her face, but the look quickly left when she saw her daughters state of dress.

"Kagome why don't you dress more like a girl?" her mother asked, making Kagome look down at herself.

"What's wrong with how I dress?" Kagome asked, looking down at her clothes. She was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, from the men's department, paired with a baggy blue t-shirt, also from the men's department and a pair of blue and orange pair of 'Anarchic' sneakers that had a jolly roger on the tongue.

"You look like a runaway," the older woman said, "your such a pretty girl. And you showed this weekend that you have a figure that should be shown off at the right points."

Kagome was stunned, her mother wanted her to show her body? When Kagome was younger she couldn't show the slightest bit of tummy without getting a lecture about it being to revealing. This had to do with the engagement.

"Besides," her mom continued, "those clothes look like they would fit Sesshoumaru large."

"I should hope he's not planning on wearing my clothes," Kagome said, laughing at the thought of Sesshoumaru wearing her jeans (imagine it), the pants would be several inches too short and the shirt would come somewhere around his midriff. The thought made Kagome giggle, until she realize that even in her imagination she pictured what his body would look like.
"I'm going to my room," she said grabbing her bag, "I have a test to study for."

Ten Minutes Later
"So did you meet with the mystery man?" Sango asked.

"Yup," Kagome said, "and we've decided that we will start the sabotage at the engagement party. We figure if our parents see us not getting along then maybe we can start the negative thoughts on the wedding."

"I see," sango said, "well I hope you two don't get too close. It would be terrible for you to fall in love with this guy while you are trying to ruin the whole idea."

Kagome laughed, "like I would fall in love with this guy. He's a jackass. Did I tell you what my mother asked me today?"

"Changing the subject already?" Sango teased, "you must have a crush blooming."

"I don't," Kagome said, "I just remembered my conversation and I wanted to tell you about it."

"Okay," Sango said, "what did you mom do/say this time?"

"She wants me to dress more like a girl," Kagome said, "and I don't mean just girl clothes, but she wants me to show off my figure more."

Sango started laughing, but the spell quickly turned into choking. It was the funniest thing she had heard, Kagome's mother wasn't like that. It was all about covering up, and waiting until your older. Even though Kagome was going to be 18 in a little over a year, she wanted her daughter to stay as innocent as she could keep her.

"You know what that means then right?" Sango asked.

"SHOPPING!" Kagome exclaimed, "I am going to get some stuff that'll make my mother cringe."

The girls both started laughing evilly, scaring their brothers who coincidentally entered their homes at the same time.

"When shall we go?" Kagome asked, when she finally quit giggling.

"Tomorrow," Sango said, "it's Friday and we have the whole day after school to get you some new stuff."

"Your right," Kagome said with a evil smile, "and I bet if I tell mama that I want to take her advice and buy more girly clothes, she might give me money. Even though I've saved up quite a bit already from working with gramps in the shrine."

Sango agreed and they made a plan to go to the mall the next day, they would take the car sango had but didn't like to use unless it was for shopping or going somewhere that required her and her brother, so her parents let her keep it in the garage instead of pushing her to use it all the time.

Downstairs
"I'm serious mom," Souta said just as Kagome walked into the living room.

"What?" Kagome said faking shock, "your being serious? It's a miracle! Call the television stations! This is a day to celebrate!"

The little boy gave his sister a nasty look and then left the room.

"That wasn't nice Kagome," her mother stated.

"I know," Kagome said, "I'll apologize in a minute, but I have a question."

"Sure," her mom said.

"Can I go shopping with Sango tomorrow after school? I've decided to take your advice and get some more girly stuff," Kagome said with a pleading look in her eyes.

"OH HUNNY!" her mother exclaimed, "THAT'S WONDERFUL! SURE YOU CAN GO! Here take my credit card! No limit!"

Kagome was dumb founded, but truly grateful to her mother, "Thank you mama! I promise I wont use too much."

"Don't worry about it," the woman replied, "get a dress for the party too. Just don't max out."

Kagome nodded and went to find her brother.

Friday Morning
"Sango," Kagome called her friend as she entered the school, "I can come today."

"Great," Sango said, "but we have to bring my brother. I promised to pick him up from school because I brought the car with me. So wanna bring your brother, they go to the same school, and we can ditch them in the arcade with about 20 dollars in change? That should be enough to keep them busy for a while."

"Sure," Kagome said, "when we get there I'll give souta my cell phone so they can call us on yours. Oh, and my mom gave me her credit card, but I've got my own money. So I'm going to buy my dress for the party with her card. And yours."

Sango was at a loss for words, "thank you. But I can't let you do it."

"It's okay," Kagome said, "I'm going to pay my mom back later anyway. So you can pay me back when you want, or you can take some of my shifts at the shrine as a repayment type thing."

"I'll do the shrine work," Sango said, "and I'll give you the money I make there."

"Don't worry about it," Kagome said, "because while you work I can plot more."

Sango laughed and waited with Kagome who was getting her stuff from her locker, but noticed when a note fell out and Kagome hadn't.

"Hey Kagome," she said bending over, "you dropped a note."

Kagome looked down, and almost fell over when she saw her name scrawled on the front of the paper in Sesshoumaru's handwriting.

"Oh thank you," she said taking the note from her friend.

Meet me early in 1st class, before everybody get's there. I have a question from you.

The letter was as vague as the first, but Kagome knew it was Sesshoumaru's writing.

"What is that about?" sango asked, reading over her friends shoulder.

"Nothing," Kagome said, "I've gotta go though. I'll see you later."

Sango nodded and watched as her friend walked away.

In 1st class
"Okay," Kagome said as her and Sesshoumaru finished their discussion, "will this work? I'm not comfortorable being that close to you. NO OFFENSE OR ANYTHING!"

Sesshoumaru cracked a small smile, "none taken. Trust me, I'm not comfortorable being that close to you either. But trust me, my father thinks I'm the perfect gentleman. And if that happens, he'll for sure get upset and try to keep us apart for your honor."

Kagome giggled, nobody had ever said anything like that to her. It was strange, but she liked the way their plotting was coming along. But as she was about to say something, the teacher walked in the room.

"Were you two supposed to be here for early morning tutoring or something?" he asked as they stood, "because I don't remember scheduling any."

"NO," Kagome said, "I was helping Sesshoumaru here with his fractions." The demon growled, that was almost humiliating. She should've said something else, but Kagome just smiled before sitting in her chair again.

"Okay," the man said, "well as long as you weren't doing anything else."

Kagome looked at the man,

"We were just discussing work," Sesshoumaru answered for Kagome as the other student's filed in the room.

"So Kagome," Sango said as they drove to the elementary school, "how was your discussion with Mr. Takahashi?"

"Don't call him that," Kagome said with a sigh, "that's his father."

"Well what else am I supposed to call him?" sango asked, "you wont tell me which brother it is."

"Just refer to him as T please?"

"Sure," Sango huffed while she waited for Kagome to go to the office to leave a message for her brother.

"You can give him the note?" she asked the lady at the desk, "because I can wait for him at his class."

"Don't worry Ms. Higurashi," the lady said, "I'll get him the note. You just wait for him at the front entrance to take him from there."

"Thank you," Kagome said before leaving the building.

At The Mall
"So you want me to take your cell phone?" Souta asked.

"Yeah," Kagome said, "when you need us. Just press and hold the number two. It'll dial Sango's cell phone okay?"

The boys nodded before taking their sister's money.

"That is for games and snacks," Sango said to the boys, "we're getting dinner after this though so don't fill up on junk."

The boys nodded before disappearing into the arcade.

"Little boys," Kagome said with a grin.

Sango nodded, "where to first?"

Kagome shrugged, "dresses?"

"Sure," the other girl said, "what store do we look in first?"

Kagome was at a loss for words, they always shopped in stores that were sports related or for guys, other than the store

"We can check Hot Topic," Kagome suggested, "they sell dresses there."

Sango nodded, "they do. And you can start buying the clothes you want. How much do you have anyway?" (a.n. I'm using American money. I don't know about any other money but euros' and Mexican money.)

"I've got about, well minus what I gave my brother, $150," she said, "what about you?"

"I've got about the same, minus what I gave Kohaku," Sango replied.

"Well we're in luck," Kagome said with a giggle as they stopped in front of the store, "they're having a sale!"

Sango laughed, "we are in luck. And there aren't a lot of people here, and not much is missing."

Kagome nodded, and looked at her friend before they ran into the store with huge grins on their faces.

"Sango what about this?" Kagome asked, coming out of the dressing room in a black and red corset style formal gown where the skirt flared out, and the bodice fit her form perfectly, "you know, for the party?"

Sango smiled, "that looks awesome on you! And we just need to get you some shoes and fishnet tights. Just to make it look more real, and it'll piss your mother off."

Kagome grinned, "your right. And I can buy some make up, I only own eyeliner and mascara."

Sango nodded, "yeah. And your in luck, the dress is one of the sale items."

Kagome smiled, "I am. It's 50 off, I only have to pay about… $30 for the dress. I can put the shoes and makeup on the card too. You should find a dress here too."

"Nah," Sango said, "these are more your style. Well they look better on you, we can check somewhere else for me."

Kagome nodded, she loved the rocker type clothes, but owned mainly stuff for men. As she was changing back into her clothes, she figured she could get some pants, shirts and skirts there as well.

When they left the store, Kagome had the dress, some shoes, tights, makeup and several skirts, and shirts. She couldn't find any pants that would fit her right.

"I think this is all the girly stuff I need for now," she said with a smile, "I spent about $90 in jus that store. But the stuff for the party was on moms card."

"Yeah," Sango said, "you really saved a lot. Not a bad idea, and even I got something."

Kagome looked at her friend, then she noticed that sango did have a bag from the store.

"What'd you get?" she asked.

"I saw this shirt," sango said, "I had to get it. It's orange with a kitten wearing a bunny costume, with words saying 'I never kiss and tell'."

Kagome laughed, "that sounds adorable."

Sango nodded, "it is. I'll show you later."

Kagome nodded, then saw a store with dresses in the window, "ready to find your dress?"

Sango paled, she had hoped her friend would forget about the whole thing, but found herself being dragged into the store.

20 minutes later
"You know Kagome," sango said as her friend pulled the strings to the corset back on a dress, "if you get it any tighter I'm going to have my head burst off my body."

"Sorry," Kagome said, "but I finally got the thing tight enough."

"It would fit fine even if you didn't pull so tight," Sango said, "loosen it up a bit and let me tell you where it's too much."

Kagome complied, and a few minutes later Sango had the dress where she liked it.

"Sango you look perfect," Kagome squealed. The dress was a dark burgundy with a corset back and the skirt flowed out, but not too much. There was a piping on the sides of the bodice that held it up properly because there were no straps.

"I think it's a little much," sango said, "and besides. There is one over there I see that looks awesome. And it's on a sale rack!"

Kagome giggled, she understood how her friend always wanted stuff to be as decently priced as possible. And if she didn't totally like one thing, she'd find something she liked better at a cheaper price.

"KAGOME HELP ME OUT OF THIS THING!" Sango exclaimed after grabbing the dress she wanted and ran back into the stall.

Kagome laughed and followed her friend. It took a while to get it off because the piping had dug into Sango's back, making the dress stick.

"How can you be so skinny and the damn thing wont come off?" Kagome asked after one final tug.

"I don't know," Sango said, breathing heavily, "but it's off. Now get out so I can put this on."

Kagome complied and waited a few minutes, when sango emerged in a stunning dress that showed off her figure at it's best vantage. The dress was black, with a high waist, and a low v-neck showing off the right amount of cleavage.

"SANGO!" Kagome exclaimed, "with a pair of red pumps, you would look awesome! Ohh! And some tights, and… I don't know. But we'll figure it out!"

Sango laughed at her friend, but agreed to let her buy the dress. It was on sale for less than what Kagome paid for her own dress, but she insisted on paying for the rest of the items she needed herself.

A.N. YAY! This chapter just flew out. It didn't take long to write at all! But yeah. Take a guess at what Sesshoumaru and Kagome have in plan? I'll probably have the party in the next chapter. I don't know yet! But after this I'm only going to update once a week, unless something comes up making it sooner. Probably the latter, I get bored easily. Makes it easier to write too!
