Channeling Miroku...or just Youko

Kagome was excited. Tonight she could finally tell Yusuke the whole, unabridged version of how she knew about youkai and Sesshoumaru instead of the Cliffnotes version she had given him. She smiled as she remembered how they danced beneath the moonlight afterwards.

She couldn't wait until he knew everything. Then, she could really be as free as she had felt with him that night.

Being in Sesshoumaru's palace, they would, of course, have to wait until after a formal dinner.

Tonight, at Kouga's begging, she decided to wear a blue dress. The cut the dress was modest, so as not to embarrass Kagome. However, it was very form-fitting, accentuating her decently sized breasts.

From there, the midnight blue dress draped down. The flowing hemline was cut higher in the center, around Kagome's knees. The fabric gradually increased in length until the flowing fabric located in the center of the back of the dress barely touched the floor.

She looked spectacular. But, despite outward appearances, she was suffering from a great deal of anxiety. Would Yusuke care about her past? Would he be jealous of all the 'men` who were vying for her attention?

What would her brother do? Would she and Sesshoumaru be able to come to an understanding about Rin? Would Hiei stay on this new found path of enlightenment? Would Shuuichi ever let down his guard enough to let her steal another pair of boxers?

Well, she thought, there was no sense in worrying about all this at once. All she had to do was tell her story and hope everything came out alright.

Hearing a knock, Kagome allowed one of the maids assigned to her by Sesshoumaru to enter. After receiving the message that Shippo, Shuuichi, and a woman with a baby had arrived, Kagome pried out of the poor girl that Yusuke, Rin, and Kazuma were expected to arrive shortly.

It was too bad. She was hoping to put off wearing those damn heals a bit longer. Oh well. She strapped on the shimmering, blue stilettos and told the girl she would go down in a few moments time.

The shoes were terrible. Just like a bra. Both were painful, dug into her skin, probably invented by men, and would be off of her body as soon as possible (whether a man was present or not).

And off she went for the most unexpected evening of her life.

Yusuke hated stuff like this. Why him? He had gone to Makai in hopes of saving Kagome from her ex-fiance and to maybe bash some heads in.

But now that they had arrived? Nope. Some assholes had ushered him upstairs into an unused bedroom and shoved him into a tux.

Were they going to fight or tap dance?

These people were way too confusing. Kagome was supposed to be the normal one in the relationship. That's all he wanted, a normal girlfriend, but her life was even wackier than his.

What was he going to do?

The last time Kagome ate in the large dining room hadn't been one of the greatest experiences of her life, considering the fact that Sesshoumaru nearly lost control and almost tried to rape her.

All memories of this event, along with her last goodbye to Inuyasha, were currently swept from her mind. Right now, the only thing Kagome had on her mind was the trepidation she felt about Yusuke hearing her story.

As she walked down the staircase on her way to the dining hall, Kagome's fear increased with each descending step. She had never told anyone about her life in full detail. Not even Mama nor Souta knew everything.

She wouldn't have been allowed to go back if either knew the extent of danger she had repeatedly subjected herself to.

`What am I so worried about?' Three more steps...please take this alright. Two steps... `Deep breath.' One... `Oh my God! I...I love him.'

Unaware of Kagome's distress, Yusuke hated being here. This wasn't his kind of thing. He wasn't used to doing things his girlfriend liked to do. Hell, when he dated Keiko, he only went to school once every few weeks.

Keiko. He hadn't heard from her in a while. He was just too busy with Kagome to notice. How was she?

The door opened to the dining room, and Kagome entered. She noticed it was not one great long table, like she had expected, but three smaller tables. Each table was set for four guests.

Apparently, Sesshoumaru wanted everyone fed before the entire boring ordeal. He wanted no excuses for interruptions.

She was surprised that Yusuke, Rin, and Kazuma had not yet arrived at dinner. However, she did know that they only arrived a short while ago.

With the slow instrumental music playing, one member of the dinner party thought this would be a perfect opportunity to spend a little quality time with Kagome.

Kouga had come up to Kagome and tried to steer her toward the dance floor. She desperately looked around for some form of salvation.

It was thankful that she spotted Shuuichi and caught his attention. He smirked at her and got up. He was carrying a drink with him.

{Man, this is boring.}

[No shit. And your intelligence is supposed to be superior to that of humans?]

Just then, Kagome walked in.

{She looks good enough to eat.}

[Yeah, but which part first?]

Youko stuttered. {Have I really been in here that long?}

Shuuichi was just as shocked as his demon counterpart. [ I think you are finally starting to rub off on me.]

{Ah good. Now we can `rub off' on her. That should be more fun. Just let me handle it for once.}

[No.]

{Come on! That wolf's going after her.}

[No. Trust me. I'll take care of it.]

Kagome made a big production of stopping to introduce Kouga to Shuuichi. “OH! Hi Shuuichi. How have you been?”

“Kagome, I must confess something.” His voice was whispered in a way she hadn't expected to hear from him. It was...almost playful. “I've been so lonely now that you've moved out.”

“You lived with him?!”

{Way to get the mutt's attention!}

What was Shuuichi doing? Now her face was redder than the cherry in his drink.

Her throat had gone dry. In a second, she grabbed his drink and finished it in one gulp. “Hey, what is that?”

“Shirley Temple.”

Kouga, thinking he could demasculate the pretty boy in Kagome's eyes, replied, “Huh. No self respecting man, or demon for that matter, would have that kind of fruity drink. There isn't even alcohol.”

Kurama glanced distastefully at Kouga's beer and replied. “You have obviously never had one before.”

He looked at Kagome as he continued. “They are sweetly delicate, subtly flavorful, refreshingly unique, and one can never get enough of them.”

{That was great. She gets it. Now go in for the kill.}

He leaned in closer toward Kagome, much to Kouga's displeasure, as he continued in a whisper, “And, I get to pop the cherry every time.”

Kouga was boiling. “Kagome, you definitely moved out, right?”

“Yes, I am staying in Tokyo now that I found Kazuma.” Thank God they were off that...other line of questioning.

“Yes, but Kagome,” he began as his smirk spelled out more embarrassment. “It really isn't fair. You took my boxers when you knew I didn't have any more, yet you don't give me any of your underwear? Not even the red ones that looked so...tempting when you promised me I could have things ”anyway I want them”?

“Oh god! Shuuichi, you remember that?!”

“What?! You mean it's true?!!!” cried Kouga.
