Four friends sat in the living room of Sango's and Kikyo's Tokyo apartment. Kagome was again in her new favorite beanbag chair looking like she was about to hyperventilate. While Sango was sitting on the couch, working on getting the rollers out of Kikyo's hair, who was sitting on the floor between Sango's legs attempting to paint her toenails.

 

“Kagome relax, this just confirms that Sesshomaru is digging you, and that I was right!” Sango proudly stated.

 

“I can't believe I freaked out like that and ran out of there.” Kagome stated with dread in her voice. “Sesshomaru is going to think I'm a maniac!”

 

“Nah, from what you said it kinda sounds like he was purposely trying to intimidate you.” Rin said, who was across the living room in the matching pink beanbag chair, without looking up from her Nintendo DS.

 

Rin was the youngest of the four friends and only in her first year at the university, although all three friends would agree she was the brightest and most studious. She also was the shortest, just a tad shorter than Kagome. Rin was a pretty girl with pixie like features, bright sparkling brown eyes and unruly thick dark hair. She was the tomboy of the group of friends and already dressed for the evening, in a short, black, eye-lit lace dress with red strappy sandals to add a punch of color, something Kikyo picked out, because to her it really didn't matter, she was there for the free food and drinks. Like Sango, Rin liked to party.

 

All three friends looked at Rin who was concentrating on her video game.

 

Sango spoke “What do you mean, purposely trying to intimidate Kagome?”

 

Rin didn't respond as if she didn't even hear Sango.

 

Sango got up and walked over to Rin, grabbing her Nintendo DS and shut it, ending whatever game she was playing.

 

“Hey! I was just about to beat that level, you know how hard tactics games are for me!” Rin said narrowing her eyes at Sango.

 

“Whatever dork, explain why you said that, why would Sesshomaru purposely try to intimidate Kagome.” Sango asked.

 

Rin had all three girls attention waiting for her to answer. “Well Sesshomaru is a taiyokai right?”

 

“Yes” Kagome said.

 

“Well from what you told me about Sesshomaru and what we've learned in my Yokai 1101 course, yokai, especially taiyokai, can be extremely domineering, territorial and controlling.”

 

“So hot…” Sango said grinning.

 

“I'm not seeing a connection Rin “ Kikyo stated plainly going back to painting her toenails.

 

“ Well I'll explain again then, this time using `Sango language',” Rin said sarcastically.

 

Clearing her throat, she continued. “Sesshomaru knew he was scaring the shit outta you Kagome, and it was really turning him on, thus, Sesshomaru wants you bad…”

 

Sango stood there thinking, then finally said, “good use of my language… and I totally concur!” She went back to the couch and continued on Kikyo's hair.

 

Kikyo and Kagome giggled. Rin just rolled her eyes.

 

Rin looked over to Kagome, “everything is going to be fine, just relax, I know it's easier said then done.”

 

She smiled “I know I'm making a huge deal out of this, but it's hard not too. Never did I think that he would try something with me.”

 

Thinking back, Kagome of course now, regretted leaving Sesshomaru's place so abruptly. Who knows where it would have lead to if she had stayed? A shiver ran through Kagome and it had nothing to do with the temperature.

 

“What we need to do is getting finished getting ready for this party, it's getting late, and I definitely don't want to miss any of it.” Sango said, finished with Kikyo's hair said standing up.

 

“I've been ready for almost an hour now.” Rin said gesturing to herself.

 

“Yeah Sango, you're the one who takes forever getting ready, if were late, it's most likely going to be because of you!” Kagome said grinning.

 

“Alright…alright, let me finish getting dress then.” Sango headed for her bedroom.

 

The three other girls waited in the living room for Sango to finish getting ready, as usual.

 

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

The four girls showed up at Yokai's only about 30 minutes late, thanks to Sango. The restaurant was closed to the public that evening and filled with employees and some big-shot investors. Some of them Kagome recognized, remembering escorting them to Sesshomaru's office. The restaurant all decked out in decorations, seeing it complete, Kagome was in awe. The cherry blossom bouquets on each table were truly lovely. In the center of the dining room were some tables pushed together to create one long row, where food was set-up buffet style. There was popular music playing.

 

Stepping into the dining room, Kagome spotted a few favorite co-workers and eagerly waved her hellos to them smiling.

 

“Wow this place is amazing, it must cost a small fortune to eat here.” Rin mused out loud while looking around.

 

Grinning, Sango responded, “it does”.

 

Just then Miroku walked up to the four girls. He looked dashing in black dress slacks and a silk eggplant-colored shirt, Miroku skipped wearing a tie.

 

“Why you ladies all look beautiful this evening,” exclaimed Miroku.

 

Lifting Sango's hand and kissing it, he looked her dead in the eyes and said, “you my dear, look especially ravishing.”

 

Cheeks turning a soft shade of pink Sango replied “all for you babe”.

 

The three other girls just rolled their eyes at the couple's `mushiness'

 

Rin whispered into Kagome's ear “gross”.

 

“Well I don't know about you all, but I skipped breakfast and lunch so I'm starving.” Kikyo said while staring hungrily at the buffet.

 

Rin grabbed Kikyo's hand and dragged her over to the food, while teasingly saying, “come on fatty.”

 

Eyeing the room Kagome couldn't help but look for Sesshomaru, she was embarrassed from what happened earlier in the afternoon, but couldn't deny the fact that she wanted to see him. She became mildly disappointed when wasn't able to spot him.

 

`I wonder if he'll act differently' she pondered.

 

“Hey there's Inuyasha!” Sango noticed the hanyou.

 

“Hey Inuyasha!” Sango said in a voice a little too loud for indoors.

 

Walking over to greet his friends Inuyasha greeted them, “Hey guys.”

 

“Hi Inuyasha, you look great!” Kagome said smiling at her favorite manager.

 

Inuyasha was rocking black and red pinstripe pants, a black dress shirt and a narrow red silk tie.

 

“Thanks kid, you don't look so bad yourself, Sesshomaru is going to bust a…”

 

Interrupting Inuyasha, Miroku kindly advised Inuyasha with a wag of his finger, “Ladies, my friend, ladies.”

 

“Heh, its just the truth”. Inuyasha grunted.

 

Kagome just smiled and tweaked a puppy ear, ignoring Inuyasha's hand swatting, “I'll just take that as a compliment Inuyasha.”

 

“So where is your bro and big boss man at anyway?” Miroku asked.

 

Gesturing over to a corner near the entrance to the bar with his thumb, Sesshomaru stood with some yokai and humans Kagome didn't recognize. His attention was currently occupied by a tall female yokai, who standing directly in front of him, was efficiently blocking Kagome's view. Sesshomaru wasn't speaking, just every so often nodding as if trying to prove he was paying attention. Finally the female yokai finished yapping and walked away, giving Kagome the view she craved for.

 

He was wearing his usual, tailored black dress pants, black silk shirt neatly tucked in, nicely showing off his narrow waist and strong chest. He wore no tie, and the shirt had about two buttons undone, exposing a small portion of that smooth alabaster flesh, that seemed to glow against the contrasting black of his shirt. His hair was in a braid again, like earlier today, but was tight and perfectly neat. Sesshomaru was prim to perfection, as was expected.

 

Kagome's inner little girl was beginning to surface and she just couldn't help becoming giddy, remembering Sesshomaru's body, his voice, and lips… She was becoming undone all over again.

 

Looking across the room Sesshomaru caught Kagome's stare, and she was instantly sober of her giddiness. Their eyes locked, and Sesshomaru acknowledged Kagome, with a hardly noticeable incline of his chin. He looked away then, when another guest was attempting to converse with the taiyokai.

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

Time passed and Kagome was having a great time. The food was spectacular, and someone turned up the music. Employees were dancing and celebrating all their hard work. Nibbling on her food, Kagome was sitting at one of the many tables with her friends, who were all currently watching an intoxicated dog-eared hanyou practice his `break dancing' moves.

 

“I think Inuyasha is getting more drunk then last year.” Miroku observed.

 

“I hope so! He's funny as hell when he's wasted.” Sango laughed.

 

“I think he's sexy as hell!” Kikyo said getting up from her seat and making her way over to Inuyasha.

 

“Uh oh, Inuyasha's a goner. You know once Kikyo has her mind set, there's no escaping.” Rin said pointing at her friend, who was now dancing with Inuyasha.

 

“I think your right, Rin, but seeing how Inuyasha's eyes haven't looked away from Kikyo's butt, is making me guess he wouldn't mind being her prisoner.” Kagome playfully said.

 

Everyone laughed watching his or her two friends out on the dance floor. Sango actually got out her cell phone and started taking pictures of the silly couple dancing.

 

“Blackmail via Internet, is SO sweet…” Sango said to no one in particular.

 

Just then a finger tapped on Kagome's shoulder and she looked up to see the good-looking yokai from the other night at the restaurant, Kouga Wolf. He was dressed sharply like the last time she remembered him in another navy suit, but this time his hair was loose, and fell in dark waves down his back.

 

Smiling Kagome greeted him, “Mr. Wolf it's nice to see you again”.

 

“Same here Kagome, you look amazing and please, it's Kouga.”

 

Blushing slightly, Kagome remembered how the yokai insisted that she use his first name. It was a bit causal for two, who just met, to be on a first name basis so soon but Kagome innocently figured, he was just trying to be friendly, she could appreciate that.

 

“Thank you, are you enjoying the party Kouga?” Kagome brightly asked.

 

“More so, now that the boring business talk seems to be over with. Would you care to walk over to the bar and get a drink with me Kagome?” he asked not giving Kagome a chance to introduce him to her friends.

 

“Oh um...” Kagome began, but thankfully getting cut off by Inuyasha who was walking back to the table of friends with his arm around Kikyo's shoulders.

 

“This chick is one hell of a dancer,” Inuyasha said.

 

Pinching Inuyasha's ear and ignoring the tiny yelp he let out, she countered, “its Kikyo and you're not too shabby yourself.”

 

“I like her, she's feisty,” with a wide grin, he said referring to Kikyo.

 

They really seemed to hit it off.

 

Looking over to the yokai standing next to a seated Kagome, Inuyasha brashly stated, “Looks like your attracting wolves Kagome.”

 

Kouga gave Inuyasha a not so friendly look and Kagome almost died of embarrassment.

 

Earning another pinch to the ear from Kikyo, asked a bit winded from dancing “so what's up guys?”

 

“Well…” Kouga answered “…I was asking Kagome if she would like to go get a drink over at the bar.”

 

“That sounds like a great idea, let's all go!” exclaimed Sango, who secretly could tell Kagome was not fully comfortable going alone with Kouga.

 

“Yeah good idea.” Said Rin who was following Sango's line of thought.

 

“Great…” Responded, Kouga, who was annoyed with the group of friends tagging along.

 

Kagome was grateful for her friend's keen observations, never mess with the force of the BFF's! It was like your own female army, always ready to have your back and tell which skinny jeans made your ass look fat.

 

The group made their way over to the bar and got some drinks, Kouga asked for a Crown Royal on the rocks, Sango an apple martini. Miroku, Kikyo, and Inuyasha all had beer.

 

“Hmmm, I don't know what to get…” Kagome thought aloud.

 

Kagome wasn't much of a drinker; she usually just drank whatever everyone else was having, and sparely.

 

“You can have what I'm drinking Kagome” Rin offered, she looked at the bartender and ordered “Two Cherry Bombs please”.

 

“That sounds pretty interesting” Kagome stated looking at Rin.

 

“Yeah, it's one of my favorites.” Rin said.

 

“Heh, and it will fuck you up!” Said Inuyasha, who seemed a little, fucked up himself.

 

“Oh?” Kagome looked worried.

 

The bartender finished concocting, sitting the two drinks on the counter, Rin picked one up and handed it to Kagome with a smile. Kagome only realized just then that a Cherry Bomb was a cool, layered looking, shot.

 

“Come on, Kagome” Rin said “It's a fun drink, and I know you'll like the taste, besides your at a party, it's time you start partying!”

 

Laughing Kagome agreed, “Your right, cheers!” and lifted the drink and knocked it back.

 

“Wow! That IS good!” Kagome said loving the taste and feeling the slight heat of the liquor traveling down to her stomach.

 

“Told ya it was awesome, another round?” Rin joyfully questioned.

 

“Hells ya,” Kagome answered.

 

“Sango my dear, I believe Kagome has just found her poison.”

 

“Its about damn time!” Sango laughed, as did everyone else.

 

The group of friends were laughing and joking with each other, while they drank. Kagome was feeling good... really good. All her nervousness, and embarrassment from earlier that day seemed to dissipate and melt away as she hung out with her friends. The liquor probably had something to do with that as well.

 

“I need to go to the restroom, Kagome will you come with me?” A very tipsy Rin asked an equally tipsy Kagome.

 

“Sure, lets go” Both girls made their way to the `Ladies Room'.

 

 

“Man, why can't chicks go to the head by themselves?” Inuyasha asked no one in particular.

 

“I've been wondering that for centuries myself Inuyasha.” Kouga answered, shrugging.

 

“Babe, we've been here so long and haven't even danced yet, come on!” Sango said out of nowhere, dragging Miroku to the dance floor.

 

“Ready for round two, Inuyasha? Maybe this time you can keep up” Kikyo said teasingly.

 

“Wench, you wish you had my moves.” He joked right back at her, as they walked following Sango and Miroku, who were already getting busy bumping and grinding on the dance floor. Leaving Kouga by himself at the bar.

 

Sesshomaru then walked up to the wolf yokai, “I see you've been stalking my employee Kouga.”

 

“Hello Sesshomaru, and yeah, you could say that, I mean have you even gotten a glimpse of her tonight? Kami, that's a little sex kitten wrapped up in blue tonight, and her little friend is pretty hot too.” Kouga crudely replied, looking as though he was imagining what he like to do with both girls and most likely, at the same time.

 

Sesshomaru knew Kouga spoke the truth when it came to Kagome, he honestly never spared her friend a glance; all of Kagome's best features were teasingly on display, taunting the more basic and primitive side of Sesshomaru. Just then, the said `kitten' came walking back over to the bar with her tiny friend in tow. Sesshomaru watched her make her way over back to the bar, she was wearing a short blue dress that showed more cleavage then he ever seen her expose, making him want to continue where he left off earlier that afternoon, and strappy silver stilettos that would look great hooked over his shoulders as he make the `kitten' purr for him.

 

“Good evening Sesshomaru-sama.” Kagome said smiling at her boss, as she and Rin walked up to the two demons standing at the bar.

 

“Ms. Higurashi.” Sesshomaru greeted the young girl.

 

`I see were back to formalities again' she inwardly sighed.

 

“This is my guest, Rin” she introduced. Rin bowed as she greeted the taiyokai.

 

Rin turned her head looking over at Kagome, Rin eyes got big and conveyed a silent `holy shit he's so fucking hawt!' look.

 

“Glad to see you two are back.” Kouga welcomed the girls, “another round of drinks?”

 

“Don't mind if I do” Rin answered, hopping up in a bar stool.

 

Still feeling foggy from the drinks she already consumed, Kagome polity bowed out.

 

“Come on, Kagome, it's not everyday your at a party with an open bar!” Kouga pressed on.

 

“I believed Ms. Higurashi needs some fresh air, as does this Sesshomaru.” Sesshomaru said, silencing the wolf demon.

 

He lifted his arm and offered is elbow to Kagome, “Join me.” He said, making it sound more like an order then an invitation.

 

Kagome accepted looping her arm through Sesshomaru's, and they made their way to the front door of Yokai's and outside.

 

Sesshomaru led her across the street over to Shinjuku Gyoen, the public gardens known for their infamous cherry blossoms. Kagome wasn't as nervous as this afternoon, and she knew those Cherry Bombs that were still coursing strong through her veins, could take all the credit. Finding a place to sit, they enjoyed the fragrant, fresh air.

 

“You are enjoying this evening Ms. Higurashi” it was more of a statement then question.

 

Kagome answered anyway, “yes” staring at gold eyes.

 

A few moments passed and she hesitantly asked.

 

“Are you enjoying yourself Sesshomaru-sama?”

 

Sesshomaru reached out then, and gently grasped Kagome's chin in his clawed hand then bent down and pressed his lips to hers. He parted from her for a moment and whispered against her mouth “this Sesshomaru finally enjoys this evening”, and replaced his mouth back to Kagome's lips.

 

Kagome, unlike that afternoon, immediately responded and opened up to the taiyokai. She turned her body to face his and he lowered his hand from her chin, softly dragging his claws against the bare skin of Kagome's back that wasn't covered by her dress. The feel of Sesshomaru's sharp claws on her delicate skin made Kagome gasp in arousal instead of fear this time, and Sesshomaru kissed Kagome deeper. Feeling his wet, hot tongue stroking her own, was tightening places low inside her. Kagome was too enthralled by Sesshomaru's kiss to care about any consequences or repercussions, who cares this was her boss? Who cares she was out in public making out with her boss for that matter! She just knew that she could never possibly grow tired of this.

 

`Nothing has ever felt this good' she was barely able to think to herself.

 

Sesshomaru pulled back, just a bit, and slowly and seductively licked Kagome's lips, sucking on them gently. Kagome was moaning, not caring if anyone else would hear, lust was starting to consume her, and there was no fighting it. She started to edge closer, and boldly sat on Sesshomaru's lap. Kagome's dress was hiked up in a not so ladylike fashion, and she was just drunk enough on drink and Sesshomaru not to care in the least. Groaning at Kagome's daring move Sesshomaru worked his mouth down Kagome's neck, again running his fangs down the sensitive flesh, only this time, Kagome didn't run away, she only moaned louder in encouragement. She wanted more. Kagome, who had a leg on either side of Sesshomaru, was beginning a pattern of tiny movements with her body unconsciously, against the taiyokai.

 

Sesshomaru could smell and taste the lust Kagome was now living and breathing, and it was almost impossible to resist his yokai urges. He could feel his more basic self-rising, and knew he needed to get under control before he took the young girl in the Shinjuku Gyoen. Romantic maybe, but far from private. He needed to stop before it was too late.

 

`Soon' he thought, he knew, he didn't want to wait longer, but he wanted and needed her more aware. Her reasoning and inhibitions were too clouded at this time.

 

With one last lick her the dark hair girl's neck Sesshomaru wrapped his hands around Kagome's waist securing her, and began to stand up, allowing her body to slowly slide down his own. He inwardly smirked when Kagome's eyes widened when the front of her body slid over a region of his own that was a bit harder and tighter than other areas.

 

“I will take you back to your friends, surely they wonder where you've disappeared to.”

 

Breathlessly she replied “okay”.

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

 

 

Walking back into Yokai's, Sesshomaru gave Kagome a parting kiss, well more of a parting lick on the neck and whispered into the petite ear of hers with his deep voice “you are free for now little girl.”

 

Anticipation swept over Kagome and the tiny human girl caught a ride on cloud nine back over to the table her friend's were occupying. Who were all by now, piss-drunk.

 

“Kagome you're back!” Gushed Kikyo, who was sitting in Inuyasha's lap.

 

Not brothering to hide her shock Kagome said “well hello you two, I see you gotten even more acquainted with each other.”

 

“So Kagome…” Sango said loudly, to get the said girl's attention “I hear you and Sesshomaru ran off somewhere.” Grin so large on her face, it went from ear to ear.

 

Kagome blushed. “We went outside, to get some fresh air.”

 

“Oh I see…” Sango responded, winking at her friend.

 

“Kagome, what's wrong with your neck?” Rin asked.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Yeah, your neck is covered with all these puffy red lines.” Kikyo added.

 

Bringing her hand up to touch her neck, Kagome could feel the raised flesh that was ever so slightly sore.

 

“Oh…I… I must have been bitten by a mosquito and scratched it.” Kagome brilliantly thought up quick.

 

Looking at her group of friends, she realized, she was cleaver enough to pull one over on Sango, Kikyo, Rin and Miroku. But the hanyou and wolf demon staring at her neck, with the expressions are their faces, said they weren't so easily fooled. Their faces read that they recognized the red tracks of fangs. Inuyasha looked pissed as if his older half-brother did something wrong, a violation of some sort. Kouga's face read completely different, like he wished he were the one to have put those marks on her body, and in several other places as well.

 

`Looks like she does `do' demon…' Kouga thought impurely.

 

Desperately wanting to draw attention away from her neck and get on with the night, which Kagome felt was now awesome, after her encounter with Sesshomaru she happily suggested to her friends, “Want me to go get another round of drinks?”

 

“Yeah!!!” they all replied in unison.

 

“Well I would love too, but I better go join the stiffs already” Kouga regretfully stated, as he stood up, to leave the group's table.

 

They all said their good-byes to the wolf demon.

 

“Too bad he's stuck on Kagome, I thought he was a good looker” Rin stated plainly.

 

Inuyasha patted Rin on the shoulder “his lost cutie”.

 

“I think…if he had a brain he would have wanted you both.” Miroku said nonchalantly.

 

With Inuyasha grinning in a masculine way, nodding, the three girls took turns telling Miroku what a leecheress pig he was.

 

About one hour, and three rounds later, Kagome was heavily leaning on Miroku talking to Sango. “Sesshomaru is just so…so fucking hawt Sango, I get so…so flustered around him.” Kagome exclaimed, arms flaring about in every direction.

 

Laughing Sango said “Yeah, before Miroku and I hooked up, he would get the same way, he would come around the bus station after work, getting all red while saying the dumbest shit” The girls laughed at the embarrassed looking Miroku. Sango looked over to him, kissing him on the cheek, “babe, it was so adorable”.

 

“Fuck it's hot in here!” Kagome said loudly out of nowhere.

 

“No, Kagome your just drunk”, Miroku corrected.

 

“Nahhhh…” Responded Kagome.

 

Sango started laughing at her friend, the lightweight.

 

Miroku turned his head over at Inuyasha, Kikyo and Rin with a serious look on his face, interrupting their conversation “you think she'll...” Signaling with his eyes over to Kagome “…you know, puke in my car? It's almost time to go, Naraku is meeting up with us in Kabukich”, their after-party spot for the night.

 

“Babe don't worry I'll take care of her.” Sango said, in an attempt to reassure her boyfriend, his violet eyes were filled with dread, picturing the drunken girl getting sick in his vehicle.

 

“Let's go” Inuyasha said lifting Kikyo out of his lap making way towards the front door of Yokai's, his friends following.

 

“Shouldn't the manager stay and help clean up Inuyasha?” Rin asked while walking.

 

“Pssshhh… wench don't be ridiculous, we hire an outside company to clean this shit up.”

 

Trying to keep up, were Sango and Miroku dragging their friend. Kagome kept insisting that she needed to say good-bye to Sesshomaru.

 

“Maybe not such a good idea at the moment babe…” Sango tried reasoning with the wasted girl.

 

“Awww, I really wanted to say good-(high-pitch-voice)-bye! Kagome whined loudly.

 

“Oh fuck, Miroku she's whining… Help me get her to the car faster!” Sango ordered.

 

Just getting out of the resturant was a mission, and now they had to walk all the way around to the back where Miroku's car was parked.

 

“Gimme a second.” A drunken Kagome pleaded.

 

Laughing Sango complied, releasing the arm of Kagome's she had around her neck. Leaning on the building wall Kagome lifted her foot starting to clumsy remove the straps of her tiny silver shoes.

 

“What is she doing?” Miroku asked Sango.

 

“Thessse sssshoes are killing meee…!” Kagome slurred.

 

Drunken and forgetful, Kagome who was, now standing on one silver stiletto, having difficulty removing her shoe, moved her arm, the one she supporting herself against the wall. She of course lost her balance, and down she went, bumping her head on the concrete wall and landing most ungraciously on her ass, still wearing both shoes too.

 

“Owwwwww!” She managed to half yell, half moan.

 

Before anyone could see, Kagome was in strong arms against a very strong chest wrapped in black silk.

 

“Sesssshooomarru-ssammma!” She exclaimed while rubbing the sore bump on the side of her head.

 

Sesshomaru looked over to Sango and her boyfriend, “Ms. Higurashi is in no condition to go out anywhere, you two go on, this Sesshomaru will take Kagome home.”

 

“Oh, um, well, that's very nice of you to offer Sesshomaru-sama…” Losing her train of thought for a half a second Sango paused…regaining it, she continued “…but maybe it would be best if I took Kagome home.” she nervously suggested.

 

Just then Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Rin, who were waiting around the back at Yokai's shouted for them to `hurry-the-fuck-up!'

 

Rolling his eyes at the bunch of unruly drunks, Sesshomaru said, “Go along with your friends.” Face-hardened, leaving no room for an argument.

 

 

 

“Well, o...okay”, Sango finally agreed, being trashed herself; it didn't take much to convince the girl. Better judgment out, yummy apple martini in!

 

“Bye Kagome, we'll talk to you tomorrow”

 

Sango and Miroku left, headed towards the back of the resturant.

 

Sesshomaru looked down at the girl in his arms, who, apparently, had fallen asleep while he was convincing the girl's friends to leave her in his care.

 

“Hn.”

 

Turn off the lights; Kagome's party was officially over…
