Chapter 65: Lucky


"Presenting... the stunning... Kagome." Lili dramatically announced to the living room with a flourish of her hands as Kagome went to leave for her date.

"I am hardly stunning, Lili." Kagome said, "I will see you later, thanks for the help." Kagome hugged her before making a quick exit. She avoided looking at Sesshoumaru, she already knew he would be glaring.

Kagome's hair was piled on top of her head, soft curls framing her face. The sapphire dress glittered in the moonlight, short and tight, and left one shoulder bare. Her black heels added to her short height. Ian was waiting for her at the end of the walkway.

"My... you look beautiful tonight." Ian kissed her cheek before opening the passenger door for her.

"Thank you. You do too." Kagome blushed and got in.

Ian was handsome, tall, slender muscular build, dark hair, steely blue eyes and a beautiful smile. He was smart. He was kind and loving. He could make her laugh so easily. He was everything she dreamed her husband would be. He was nearly perfect. He could and would make some lucky woman very happy. Sadly, that woman would never be her.
