Of course this had to happen to her Kagome thought eyeing the dance floor and the man coming towards her. She'd dated Hojo back in high school, but they had broken up in college. A few years later however, he showed up in her life. She'd originally been okay with it, but now she was just hoping to never run into him again. The poor man still thought they might have a chance. Before, she might have given him a second look, but after Sesshomaru- well there really was no way to compare to that.
"Kagome!" He greeted once he saw her. Sango and Ayame were out dancing on the floor so Kagome was stuck by herself.
"Hojo." She greeted back politely. "How are you?" The boy seemed happy she'd asked that question and mentally Kagome berated herself for asking him. A moment later however, a voice next to her spoke up.
"Kags, what was it you were supposed to show me again?" Kagome looked up at Kagura, who'd shown up late, but just at the nick of time to the party. She was saved after all!
