"Of course I will," she replied with a smile. He stood and tied a fang on a chain around her neck.

"You have no idea how happy you've made me." He leaned in and kissed her and the fang rested on her chest began to glow. "It seems my beast strongly agrees."

(In the courting ritual, the recieving individual, usually the female, recieves a gift from the potential mate's beast. when, or if, it glows the beast approves of it's master's choice.)

The two turned to the crowd, smiled, and bowed. "Well don't just stand around," Kagome stated. "Let's get this party started!" As if on cue, the DJ scratcheed a record and starting playing the latest of party music causing the entire party to start dancing.

Kagome went to sit down after a while and was approached from behind. "You know I have an issue with people coming behind me without announcing themselves." She turned with a smile to see InuYasha. "Bring it in, ya crazy mutt. She and InuYasha had a weird friendship since high school. He had feelings for her and she did for him but they never did anything about it. Over time those feelings went away and their friendship had become stronger because of it. They embraced one another. "How've you been?"
"I've been good, Kags. Just got back from my vacation to America and find out that you're the girl my brother won't shut up about. But how've you been, Ms. Sister-to-be?"
She blushed a little at the name and responded, "Oh you know, just relaxing, working, having fun." They talked for a little while and she found out that he was actually working under Sesshomaru at Taisho Enterprise. "Well I should probably find Sango. Have you seen her?"
"Na. But it was nice talkin to ya. See ya around, Kags." He hugged her and disappeared into the crowd.

Kagome went in the other direction in search of Sango. After trying to use her nose, and being congratulated, for about ten minutes she gave up and decided to go upstairs to Sesshomaru's room. She just wanted some alone time. She walked up the stairs and heard what sounded a lot like sex noises from one of the many guest rooms in the house. As she walked by she heard Miroku's name get screamed by a voice she knew too well. She tried her best to stifle a laugh as she walked down the hall. "At least you're gettin some, Sango," she giggled to herself. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind and pushed into Sesshomaru's room. She was freaked out. Her senses are usually on high alert. But she knew this place. It had to be someone she knew, but the scent was masked.
"My beast has wanted this since the first day we met," he whispered roughly in her ear as the door shut behind him.
"Sess?" She questioned still not able to focus.
She could feel him smile against her ear. "Yes, my dear. At least for the moment."

When they opened their eyes they were on his bed covered in sweat and he semen on the sheet. Kagome slid off her knees, rolled over, and looked at him. "That. Was. Amazing."

"When we mate, it'll be better." He rolled her to her side and draped an arm over her waist, and they soon found themselves falling asleep.
