Kagome stared at the phone, almost squinting. She still couldn't decide if she should call Sesshoumaru or not. What if Inuyasha picked up the phone? What would he think of her calling for his own brother?

Wait...

Why should she care? He cheated on Her. She was no longer committed to him. She had the right to date whoever she wanted.

She picked up the phone and dialed the Taishou mansion. "Hello?" came the familiar male voice. It may have been familiar, but it wasn't the voice she wanted to hear. "Hello?" came the voice again, sounding quite irritated.

Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Kagome? Gods, I've been meaning to talk to you. Thank Kami you called me---"

Kagome snorted. "What makes you think I'm calling you? There's nothing to talk about."

"Wh-what?"

"I'm calling for Sesshoumaru."

Was Inuyasha hearing correctly?

"Why the hell would you call him? It's not like you're involved with him. And anyways, he's not your type."

Kagome's temper slowly grew as this conversation was getting longer. "Oh? And what exactly is my type, Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha laughed. "That's easy, Kagome. I'm your type."

Kagome was getting pissed off. "You pompous asshole! Maybe I changed after I caught you cheating on me! I'm sick of this conversation! Now give the damn phone to Sesshoumaru!"

"I'm sorry, Kagome. I didn't mean to--"

"Save it, jerk! Just give Sesshoumaru the phone!"

Inuyasha sighed as he walked upstairs to his brother's room and knocked on the door.

"What is it?" came Sesshoumaru's cold voice.

"Phone."

"If it's Kagura, tell her that she left me first and I hate playing rebound."

Inuyasha sighed once again. "Wrong 'K'. It's Kagome."

Sesshoumaru shot up from his bed. "Kagome?" He raced to the door and snatched the phone from his idiot of a brother. Before he even said "Hello," Inuyasha asked, "Why are you so eager to get a call from my girlfriend?"

It was Sesshoumaru's turn to sigh. "This isn't Kikyou, little brother. You'd be having phone sex by now if it were."

Inuyasha just growled and walked back downstairs.

Sesshoumaru put the phone to his ear and said cooly, "Hello?"

Kagome giggled slightly. "I heard what you said to Inuyasha. I'm impressed."

Sesshoumaru smiled. "Really, they do do that. And it sickens me." He made a small gagging noise.

"Y'know, Sesshoumaru. You're only a couple of years older than me, and yet you're totally immature."

Sesshoumaru chuckled. "Why thank you, Miss Higurashi. Now was there a reason why you called or did you just call to criticize my maturity?"

Kagome smiled. "My, my... very impatient. Well, I called about your offer, and it's a yes." Sesshoumaru smirked. He could tell she was blushing.

"That's great," he said. "I'll pick you up around seven?"

"Mhm. Sounds good. See you then, Sesshoumaru." And then he heard the dial tone.

As Sesshoumaru walked downstairs, Inuyasha rolled his eyes. His brother looked like a giggling horny school girl skipping down the stairs. "What's gotten into you?" Inuyasha asked.

"I have a date."

"With who?"

"Who else?"

"Kagome!" Inuyasha growled.

"Not that it's any of your business..." Sesshoumaru smirked, "but yes. With Kagome."

"WHAT!"

--

Kagome rummaged through her closet, looking for something decent to wear. A tank top and a skirt? she thought. No, too casual. Urgh... Aha!

She pulled out a nice formal yet casual black dress that covered her shoulders and stopped at the top of her knees. She put on her makeup, then her sandals and headed down the hall just as someone knocked on the door. "I got it!" Kagome called. (Although she didn't need to since Sango and Miroku were too wrapped up in each other.)

Kagome opened the door to see Sesshoumaru wearing a white dress shirt and black pants. Handsome, she thought.

Sesshoumaru took a glance at Kagome's outfit and instantly lost his breath. She looked absolutely stunning. Her dress outlined every curve of her body. "Beautiful," he whispered.

Kagome smiled. "Thank you. So where are we off to tonight?" she asked as she shut the door.

They began walking towards the elevator as Sesshoumaru replied, "The new restaurant that just opened where that old man used to sell cheap wards that wouldn't even work."

"Wasn't that store near the old bookshop?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru nodded as he pressed the button to the parking garage. They slowly rode down and walked towards his silver mercedes.

As the two entered the restaurant, many of the women began to ogle at Sesshoumaru. Some were even undressing him with their eyes. Most were giving death glares to Kagome.

Kagome didn't have the heart to just grab Sesshoumaru's arm and return the death glares. This was only because she knew this would be her first and last date with Sesshoumaru. She knew this was just a
way of Sesshoumaru saying, "Forget about my retarded brother and move on."

At least she thought she knew.

This was only a one time thing right? Aren't they just going out as only friends?

Sesshoumaru noticed Kagome drifting off into her own world. What could she possibly be thinking about? He tried to figure it out, but failed miserably. He gave up just as the waiter came to collect their orders.

Kagome sat back and sighed happily. "That was delicious."

Sesshoumaru chuckled as he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. He raised his hand for the check.

Once he had paid, Sesshoumaru asked, "So where would you like to head to this evening? The night is still young."

Kagome thought about it for a while and finally said, "Well, there's that really popular karaoke bar down the street. I've always wanted to sing there." She blushed two shades of pink.

He chuckled as he took their coats. "Then to the bar, m'lady," he said as he held out his arm for her.

She smiled as she entertwined her arm with his. Inuyasha was never this much of a gentleman on our first date, she thought. Argh! What am I thinking! He's officially out of my life. Get over it!

As they arrived at the bar, Kagome immediately signed up for the night's act. She sat with Sesshoumaru at a table, anxious for her call. Sadly, Sesshoumaru just had to pick a table next to a noisy making out couple.

Kagometurned around and tapped on the man's shoulder. "Excuse me. Would you two please keep it down? I'm trying to hear some music---"

It was Inuyasha. And Kikyou. Kagome rolled her eyes. Typical. Leave it to Inuyasha to ruin her night out. "What are you doing here?" They asked in unison.

"I'm here on a date, dickwad," Kagome replied.

"Oh that's real mature, Kagome. I'm on a date too, so don't flatter yourself."

Kagome rolled her eyes just when the bar manager exclaimed, "Miss Kagome Higurashi!"

She squealed as she practically skipped through the tables and onto the stage. She walked over to the DJ, trying to figure out which song to sing. As her eyes wandered over to Inuyasha and Kikyou, she found the perfect song. She told the DJ what song she wanted and walked over to the mic stand and swung her hips to the beat of the music. Then she began to sing:

I never knewI never knew that everything was falling throughThat everyone I knew was waiting on a cueTo turn and run when all I needed was the truthBut that's how it's got to beIt's coming down to nothing more than apathyI'd rather run the other way than stay and seeThe smoke and who's still standing when it clears

She looked directly at Inuyasha, glaring at him with a passionate hatred.

Everyone knows I'm inOver my head, over my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mind, she's on your mind

Let's rearrangeI wish you were a stranger I could disengageJust say that we agree and then never changeSoften a bit until we all just get alongBut that's disregardFind another friend and you discardAs you lose the argument in a cable carHanging above as the canyon comes between

Sesshoumaru gazed at Kagome's face and form carefully. He could tell that many emotions were running through her body.

Everyone knows I'm inOver my head, over my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mind, she's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm inOver my head, over my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mind, she's on...

Inuyasha stared at Kagome. Was she singing about him? This was driving him insane.

And suddenly I become a part of your pastI'm becoming the part that don't lastI'm losing you and its effortlessWithout a sound we lose sight of the groundIn the throw aroundNever thought that you wanted to bring it downI won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Sesshoumaru could not take his eyes off Kagome. could it be that he was actually falling for her?

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru continued to think about Kagome. The two may have their differences but the only thing that they had in comment were their feelings for Kagome.

Everyone knows I'm inOver my head, over my headWith eight seconds left in overtimeShe's on your mind, she's on your mind

Everyone gave a standing applause as she finished. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru gazed at Kagome as she moved through the crowd to her table. "Wow, Kagome, I--" Inuyasha started.

"Don't ruin my good mood, Inuyasha, because frankly, I don't give a damn."

Inuyasha just kept looking at Kagome. Kikyou looked from Kagome to Inuyasha. She put her hand to his cheek and made him look at her. "Inu-baby, I wanna go home. We can have more fun there."

He just pushed her away. "No."

Kikyou pouted. "No? Oh I see. You still love Higurashi. Ungrateful bastard!" She slapped Inuyasha and walked out of the bar.'

Kagome laughed slightly and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Can we go?" she asked him.

"Yeah." The two grabbed their coats and headed out, not knowing of a certain hanyou, following them from a distance.

Sesshoumaru walked Kagome to her apartment door. Before Kagome opened the door, Sesshoumaru stopped her. "Kagome, I really enjoyed tonight. Would you like to go out for some coffee tomorrow morning?"

Kagome's heart practically leapt from her chest. "Sure. Around eight?"

Sesshoumaru smiled. "Eight it is. Good night, Kagome." He gave her a peck on the cheek and walked to the elevator.

Kagome's heart was pounding in her chest. It was fluttering up and down like a horny little schoolgirl who had just gotten her very first kiss. (An: Lol the horny little schoolgirl remark is from a friend of mine xDDD)

She was about to walk to her room when the someone knocked on the door. Could it be Sesshoumaru? she asked herself. She opened the door to see InuYasha. She glared at him and attempted to shut the door when Inuyasha stopped her. "Kagome, I just want to talk."

"No."

"Kagome!"

"I said No, Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha grew frustrated and just kicked the door open, and saw Kagome standing there, quite upset with him. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her deeply, trying to give tell her how much he loved her.

And surprisingly to him, Kagome was kissing him back. She ran her hands through his silver locks. They stood there passionately kissing for a few minutes, and then pulled away, both out of breath.

"That... was amazing," Kagome commented.

"Yeah..." said Inuyasha.

"...This can't happen again," stated Kagome.

"Wh-what?" asked Inuyasha.

"How do I know that you're not going to cheat again?" Kagome yelled as she walked to her room frustratedly.

Inuyasha followed her and took quick glances around. Nothing much has changed here, he thought. He saw Kagome just throw her things on the bed and collapse to the floor, crying. He walked to her and wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly.

"I can't keep up with you, Inuyasha," she said through tears. "I can't stand getting hurt again."

"I'm not gonna hurt you, baby," Inuyasha said.

"I can't take that chance," said Kagome.

Inuyasha looked at her strangely, then asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Leave, Inuyasha."

His eyes widened. Was he hearing right? "What?"

"Please. Just go," she pleaded.'

Inuyasha let go of her and stood up. He gave her one last look and walked out of the apartment.
