The midnight stars hung low in the inky sky as the sleek, dark limousine pulled up to the glittering lights of the building. The door opened, and a polished shoe stepped out. A figure swiftly came out in flashes of silver and red. Polished shoes hit the pavement. There was a tired looking guard standing beside the glass doors as the figure walked up.

The guard –really a yokai in human apparel –didn't even look up from his smartphone as he said, "name, casino status, password."

A deep, smooth voice followed the question. "Inuyasha, one, lotus." The guard's head jerked up, and his eyes met deep amber orbs. Lotus was the password given to the casino's yokai.

"Inuyasha-sama!" he squeaked. "Welcome! Please enter!" The yokai bowed deeply and opened the door with a flourish. He despised hanyous, but fear of his brother the Lord Sesshomaru made him be polite to Inuyasha. The silver-haired hanyou waltzed in, the glamour hiding his ears wavering slightly. It was not enough for the laughing and drinking humans milling about to notice.

He saw some of the ningen women cast sultry glances at him, fluttering their ridiculously long lashes while smirking behind their silk fans. A blank glance from him directed at their group was enough to make them swoon immensely. Inuyasha was not interested in the pathetic whores. He had other plans.
