Kagome spritzed mineral water on her face to set her makeup. She stood back and, looking in the full-length mirror on the closet slider, adjusted the straps on her black knee length dress.
Her long, Raven hair, lightly teased, lifted up and away from her ears showing off silver and emerald earrings. The brilliant green stones intesified Her dark eyes.
Not bad for someone thats gone through hell, she thought, turning one last time. Satisfied, she turned off the light and left the room.
Miroku and Sango Monk were the first to arrive. The Monks along with their two sons, junior and stevie, and Kiriara, the two-tailed cat, were like family to her. At 27 two years older than Kagome, Sango glowed with the youthfulness of someone who was pampered by an older, doting husband and loved every minute of it. She had beautiful long brown hair that reached the middle of her back and chocolate eyes. She always had a thing for the color pink as well.
Sango steered Miroku to the wing chair rocker in the living room, pushed him down, handed him the TV remote unit and a bowl of nuts, and said, "Stay out of our hair." She joined Kagome in the kitchen.
"Almost bought that outfit myself," Sango said.
"Really? You approve then?"
Sango stared at Kagome reflectively.
"What?" Kagome frowned looking down at herself.
"When i think back to the Kagome Higurashi i met 6 years ago, i cant believe that this woman standing before me now could actually be the same person. Remember her?"
Kagome smiled, nodding.
"I owe it all to you" Kagome curtsied.
"It was all their begging to come out, i felt like a fairy god mother in Cindarella"
"So wheres my prince charming?" When Sango turned and shot her a dissaproving glance, Kagome added. "Never mind. Dont answer that."
Sango lifted the sheet cake from the box. "How many are you expecting for the shindig?""About twenty. Mostly friends of Kougas. Lawyers, judges, politicians. I dont know half of them."
"Ahhh." Sango brows worked up and down "Perhaps he invited someone you might take a fancy to."
"Perhaps."
"If you werent so persnickety, that is."
"Me? Persnickety? Well, it just so happens i invited someone tonight. A man. A very nice man."
"Who?"
"You dont know him."
As Kagome reached for the cocktail toothpicks, she knocked over a box of dry cat food. Suddenly her stomach knotted tightly. She had forgotten about winnie. Winnie was out ther somethwere. Something was wrong. The cat had never stayed away this long.
"The doorbell rang.
"Thats probably the birthday boy." Sango said. "I wont be a bit surprized if hes wearing his birthday suit."
"Hey, c'mon. Kougas raunchy, but hes not that raunchy.""Hah!"
Kagome went down stairs to the foyer. Instead of Kouga, she answered the door to a very tall man with a ponytail, Hiten. In one hand he held a bottle of wine and the other a half dozen roses.
"Hello" He said quietly "Am i early?"
Kagome swallowed and said "No, not at all. Come in"
He handed her the roses and stepped inside.
"Thank You. Their beautiful"
"I didnt know you lived on a mountain. Do you have it all to yourself?"
"Its not quite a mountain, and no, i share it with a few others."
He looked around the foyer, down to the lower level, then up to the living room, then straight down the hall to her bedroom.
"Unusual layout", Hiten said. "Trilevel?"
"Uh-huh, my father was the architect. As you can see he shied away from the norm."
"I remember now, Ken called it the 'upside-down' house. Its fantastic, You must be crazy about it."
Kagome thried to smile , it came off weak, nebulous.
"Come on up, i want you to meet some good friends of mine."
As she led the way upstairs, she wondered how she had forgotten what he looked like. He was georgous.
