A/N: As promised, though a bit late, to the person brave enough to send me a private message, PaolaNaomi, here is another chapter. Thank her, because it was going to be another few months to get another chapter outta me. Do not be afraid to message me to get another chapter or ask for updates. But please keep in mind that I am a Junior in college with homework and working. :( I know I know, excuses, excuse. On with the story.

"Sango, how do I look," Kagome asked as she stepped of her room. Despite the argument earlier, Kagome knew her surrogate sister was right and tonight was her night to gain back the strength that was once lost her. She would be the Amazon woman that she saw in her head if it killed her.

"Perfect. Now go put a nuzzle on that dog."

The girls laughed and walked towards the door. Kagome kissed Sango on the cheek and thanked her for the pep talk. Skipping down the stairs, the ladies split ways. Sango home to a not so holy monk and Kagome to dinner with the devil.

Naraku's patient was running ever thin. Even from outside the restaurant, he could feel that arrogant, idiotic mutt flaring his aura. The moron wouldn't know how to be subtle to save his life. Some though, very soon, his life, title, wealth, and all that he holds near would be in the hands of Naraku.

Just the thought alone make him grin in maliciousness and had his imagination running while with all the things he would be able to do with that power. His thoughts were once again interrupted by a raise in the out crowds volume. Because the dog was already inside, this meant it could only be one person. Naraku checked his watch and saw that it was about 8:45. Oh she was late. Maybe he wouldn't have to kill her after all and maybe, just maybe, that bastard dog will kill her for making him wait.

"Only time will tell. Either way, she dies and I get money." With that, Naraku, merged back into the shadows his father taught him, were the best way of hiding.

Kagome was completely on edge. She was determined to go in and get the job done, but that doesn't mean she couldn't be nerve. Chills were running down her spine because the closer she go to the eatery, she could feel the pulsating of Sesshomaru's aura. She knew she was late. She was suppose to be here at 8. In fact, she did that on purpose. She wanted him to be kept waiting. Made him nervous with anticipation. However, his aura, was more irritation than nervousness. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

"Oh well, too late to turn back the hands of time now. Get yourself together Higurashi and get this done."

Kagome took a deep breath as she pulled into the valet parking of the French Room. Flashing lights could be seen through the tinted glasses and her nervousness was back tenfold.

"Deep breaths, Kagome. Deep breaths."

Kagome stepped out of the car and was immediately by photographers and reporters trying to get a statement and asking questions. If its one thing she learned from Inuyasha in regards to business was that you never speak without thinking things through. Kagome was no prepared to answer any questions so what did she do? Put on a 100 watt smile and bypass the paparazzi like they were never there. Besides, with what she was planning tonight, there would be a press conference needed tomorrow and they would get all the answers that they wanted.

Because of the constant influx of celebrity clientele, the French Room was prepared for moments like this. There was security at the door ready to manhandle any one person that would get out of hand. Kagome eased through the door with out any issues because of the burly demons standing guard. The same could not be said for the unlike reported that reached for bare arms.

Kagome put on a flirtatious smile and winked at the guard.

"Arigato, handsome," she spoke.

If she hadn't know any better, she would have said there was a tint on his tan cheeks. That just what she needed to get through tonight. A boost of confidence.

Kagome held her head up that gave off the air of a CEO with a company ranked second in the eastern hemisphere. She kept that confidence as she walked past the Maitre D and straight to the person with the head of silken silver hair tied at the nape of his neck.
