A.N. Yup I'm updating, I hope you enjoy this chappy! Review when your done!

Last Time

"I assure you," he said, "it's nothing. But I do have a proposition for you."

"About?"

"Our engagement," he said with a smirk.

Now

"So I…?"

"Yes."

"And you…?"

"Exactly."

"But Kikyo…?"

"She already knows," Sesshoumaru said, "and knows that it's nothing. This should definitely work though."

"Right," Kagome said sarcastically, "but if your father does anything to your brother you've got to answer to me."

"I'm shaking," he said, "now. Why do you worry so much about that half breed? He broke up with you for your cousin, and your still always protecting him."

Kagome sighed, "I know what he did. But I've forgiven him, we're friends because we don't just know everything about each other but we understand each other. He never feels right with your guys' family, and I've never fit in with mine. We can talk to each other."

Sesshoumaru nodded, "I see. Well I must go. I will see you again when it's time for us to try this again. My father booked the ballroom at the hotel again, it's on Saturday. Do not be late, and do not dress as you did for the engagement."

Kagome laughed, "alright. But I have no money for a dress, this month was bad and I've already spent what I could on my share of bills and groceries."

Sesshoumaru understood to a extent, but seeing as he didn't work he wasn't sure why she was broke.

"Take this," he said, pulling a credit card from his wallet, "use it for whatever purposes you need. Just don't go over $15,000. Father might notice something's up."

"How the hell can I use that kind of money? Hell I can't use your money anyway," she said, attempting to give him the card, "I'll find something. I've got dresses, I just need to go back to the shrine."

"No," Sesshoumaru said, "I will be checking the balance online. If there isn't a charge from a dress shop, shoe store and whatever stupid stuff you women buy then I will take it upon myself to buy it. Also, I will return Friday to check your purchases. If that also doesn't go with my liking I will be forced to buy you something more suitable. Good night."

Kagome stared after him, stunned.

"So he just gave you his credit card and said to not go over how much?" Sango asked as they went into the store.

"$15,000," Kagome said angrily, "the worst part is if he doesn't like something I pick, he's going to find my size and bring me something!"

Sango laughed, "well lets find something worthwhile. By the way; what's the new plan?"

Kagome grinned, "InuYasha and I are going to get caught kissing. Sesshoumaru isn't going to make a big deal because he doesn't care, and we're hoping that this is reason enough to have the engagement broken by our parents. Oh yeah, InuYasha might have to stay with us for a while. His father is adamant on us not even being friends, so he might get kicked out of his house."

"That's ridiculous," Sango said as they stopped at a rack of dresses, "because you two dated and are still friends right?"

"Yeah," Kagome said disgustedly as she pulled out a blue dress with sequins, no straps and a low back, "how's this?"

"Gorgeous," Sango said, "but lets get a selection for you and then we'll get you in a dressing room."

Kagome nodded, cringing at the amount of dresses she was around. She was really surprised that they hadn't been kicked out for looking like trash monkeys (love that word) compared to the other women in the store.

"Ah miss Kagome," a man said walking up to the two girls, "we've been expecting you. I hope you're finding everything alright?"

"Oh yes," Kagome said, "but I have a question. Do you have this in a smaller size?"

The man eyed the dress, it was army green with a lace bodice and full skirt, "I'm sorry. It only comes in one size, if you would like that one though, I can have it tailored to your exact measurements."

"Oh no," Kagome said with a grin, "I was just looking at it. I really don't want anything too extravagant."

The man stared at her, "I see. Well Mr. Takahashi said to make sure you got something heart stopping. If you need any help at all, I'll be at the desk."

Kagome nodded, and shivered when the man walked away.

"Kagome you look stunning," Mrs. Takahashi all but screamed when Kagome pulled up to the hotel in her beat up little car, getting out to reveal a midnight blue floor length gown that had no sleeves and a low neck line and a even lower cut back.

"Thank you," Kagome said with a grin, "you look beautiful yourself Mrs. Takahashi."

"Thank you," the older woman said with a smirk, "but really. This is your and Sesshoumaru's night. Let's go have some fun."

Kagome grinned, and nodded.

A.N. yes this chapter is short. I wanted it that way. If your gonna leave a flame then don't comment at all. I like constructive critisism, but if there will be people leaving comments because it wasn't long enough, or good enough, then wait til the story is done and then you can do all the complaining you want.
