Suddenly the phone on the nightstand sounded, playing his favorite yet most hated song at the moment,
"Day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone some things will never change (never change)
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)"
InuYasha reached for the phone just before the chorus was through the second time, and when he saw who it was he had to hold back a growl.
"What the crap are you doing calling all early in the morning…haven't you heard of sleep," he barked into the phone
"My, my InuYasha, sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," the man on the other end of the phone taunted.
InuYasha, really not being in the mood for his brothers antics this early, replied tiredly into the phone, "Who cares Sesshomaru, what did you call about in the first place?"
The man on the other end of the phone let out a little chuckle, "Well you certainly are insolent. Did you totally disregard the fact that you have a meeting at the office today?"
InuYasha just rolled his eyes, "Whatever, when am I supposed to be there?"
"Now. I expect you in ten minutes," and without saying goodbye the other man hung up the phone.
InuYasha rolled out of bed exhausted and hating the fact that he had to go to work that morning, 'It's just what I need to have to see the biggest ass that ever lived.'
He decided against taking a quick shower, so he just went straight to his closet and looked over the multiple suites that aligned the inside. "Let's see," he stated aloud, trying to think of a suite that would let everyone know that he had style, looks, and money. "We will go with this today," he stated, while pulling out the outfit in which would add to his already large sense of self. The suites' pants were black and straight legged, but the pants weren't the important thing. The jacket was designed special, just for him. The jacket was black and white mini-checkered that went along with a matching vest, and to top it all off, he wore a diamond pattern tie that was black on the inside, with gray and white outlining each diamond shape.
The clothing fit perfectly over his body, gripping every where it needed to let others know of the type of body he had. When he was satisfied that his hair was pulled neatly back, and his suite looked perfect he headed to his car to start off for his brothers' office.

When he pulled out of his driveway, his mind started to wonder to another mild hindrance to the past week, Higurashi. He was really annoyed of her bratty attitude. He wasn't used to girls not paying attention to him, and it was really pissing him off. He just couldn't figure her out. He was so frustrated about it last Saturday night after the concert that he hadn't even slept with Onizuka.
He just dropped her off at her house, when she got out of the car thinking that he would follow her in, he just put his car in drive and headed to his own flat.
'What's wrong with me,' he found himself asking again, for what felt like the hundredth time that week. He turned on his blinker to let the other drivers know that he was switching lanes to get fully on the highway, and when he was satisfied that there was enough room to enter, he veered slightly to the left to make the short travel to the office.
'Wait, what am I thinking,' he stopped himself. Shaking his head at the stupid thought, 'there is nothing wrong with me'. He turned right to get off the highway and made the short travel two blocks to his fathers' company, 'there has to be something wrong with her,' he thought as he rotated his steering wheel roughly to the right to make the car fit in the tight parking spot, the only one available at the moment. 'She is the one who doesn't like me,' and just as that thought came through his mind, he caught a woman across the parking lot staring at him, and she finally tripped because she was so caught off guard. InuYasha just snickered at himself, 'Yeah it's definitely her'. So with that final resolve, he strolled up to his brothers' office without any other distractions.

He walked right passed the secretary and went straight for the doors leading to his brother, and when he walked in he had to take a pause but quickly recuperated. 'Where the hell did that woman come from,' he thought as a dark haired demon made her way past him.
"See you later, Sesshomaru," she called lightly over her shoulder to the man still sitting behind his desk.
Sesshomaru just chuckled lightly and when he was sure the woman was completely out of the room, he answered with, "Perhaps." Turning to InuYasha and seeing the grin tugging on his face, Sesshomaru had to roll his eyes.
"That's disgusting to even think about InuYasha," Sesshomaru ridiculed mildly to his brother once he closed the door. "Did you not get a good whiff of her," he asked with a raised eyebrow at his brother.
InuYasha, not really remembering the scent from the woman just shrugged his shoulders.
Sesshomaru seeing his brother not taking the insult, furthered his response, "I am not as frivolous in my behavior as you. Little brother."
Seeing InuYasha on guard and knowing that he got the response he wanted. He had to smile. He decided to change subjects, "Ready for the meeting," he asked light-heartedly… as if he hadn't said anything wrong to anyone in his life.
InuYasha, knowing his brother just wanted to get on his nerves, just rolled his eyes, "Yeah, let's get this damn thing over with."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Finally free from the dumb whit battle that he had to sit in for the past two hours, InuYasha started for his car when his cell phone rang.
"…Hello?"
"Hey InuYasha, it's Miroku…did you not put my number in your phone? You sounded a little hesitant," his friend stated through the device.
"Yeah…I must've forgot. Sorry man, I will do that now. So what's up?" InuYasha asked while typing his friends name on the key board on his iPhone. Still making his way to his car, he glanced up a couple times to make sure he was headed in the right direction. With a final click, his friends' number was saved, and he made the rest of the approach to his car.
"Well, actually I was wondering if you were busy tonight. I was thinking that we could go out to this club tonight downtown. It could give us time to hang out and catch up! So what do you say?" Miroku asked while hoping that his lifelong friend would say yes.
"Same old Miroku as ever I see," InuYasha joked into his cell. He put his car into reverse as he looked over his shoulder to begin backing out of his trusted space.
"Haha," Miroku began sarcastically. Shaking his head, he continued, "No man, I am serious about this. All the hot girls go to this club, come on… you can even bring Sessh along with you."
"Yeah, like that would happen," InuYasha laughed into the phone. "When was the last time I ever went anywhere just to hang out with that ass," he asked to his friend, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Oh come on, InuYasha," Miroku began laughing at how dumb that question sounded.
"You know, as well I as I do, that you two used to go everywhere with each other," he answered, shacking his head back and forth at how dumb his friend could be at times.
Staying silent for a moment, InuYasha had to think about how true his friends' statement was, 'We really did.' He shook his head a little at how different things were now, "Things have changed man."
"Come on InuYasha," Miroku begged into the phone. "I really want to see the both of you tonight," he remarked eagerly into the other end.
"I haven't seen either one of you in five years," he began, before his friend could reply. "Please come, and bring Sessh," he asked blithely.
He heard InuYasha sigh on the other end, and before his friend could give him some type of crap answer, he threw in, "Besides…I think Higurashi and the girls are going," Miroku added the last part, since he knew with that added incentive his friend would say yes.
InuYasha knew that he wanted to say yes when he heard Kagome was going, but he had to roll his eyes at how predictable it was, and the fact that he would have to endure a whole night of his brother. "I Guess I can ask him, but I won't promise anything," he said grudgingly.
"Can I count you in," Miroku asked excitedly on the other end.
InuYasha rolling his eyes at his friends excitement, had to smile at just how much Miroku stayed the same, "Yeah man I will be there. What time do you want to meet up?"

To say that Kagome Higurashi was mad would be an understatement. Pissed would be more like it, 'I'm gonna kill them'. She pushed her way through the last hallway, up the stairs where she knew her three best friends were hanging out. She threw the door open and barged inside, making any conversation that was going on just a few seconds prior cease.
"What is this," Kagome asked her three friends, holding multiple sheets of paper in her hands trying to get them to explain.
"Well, if we could see what it was… then maybe we could help you out Kags," Ayame perched up not liking the anger radiating off of her friend.
"Here," Kagome tossed the pile of paper her friend's way, so they could start explaining for her reason of being very exasperated.
"I have never seen those before," Rin answered quickly. She skimmed threw a couple more sheets," Yeah, what is this Kagome. You bragging again about all the guys that are hitting on you," she asked wagging her eyebrow.
"Haha, Rin," Kagome began dryly. "But I know, for a fact… that you all did something," she stated crossing her arms over her chest, with a 'do you think I am stupid' look on her face.
"And what makes you so sure," Rin challenged lightly. Loving the fact that her friend was so over herself with this issue.
"Because," Kagome began seriously. "One of the men told me," she said pointing to herself. "That my friends told him… that I would be a good time," she stated hating the fact that she had to repeat those words.
"Oh," Sango offered timidly.
"What do you mean… 'oh'," Kagome started to ask with a mild twitch of her right eye.
She saw Sango beginning to bite her lip, letting her know that she was nervous and had to narrow her eyes at the girl.
She was ready to ask for an answer once more, when suddenly Rin started busting out laughing… and ended up rolling on the floor.
"Rin…I do not see how me receiving like a hundred e-mails from random men on an account I had never signed up for is even mildly humorous," Kagome replied through clenched teeth to her friend who was just making her situation worse.
"Haha… sorry Kag's I am not trying to be mean or anything. It's just that I never thought that it would turn out like this," Rin began to explain.
"What do you mean… you never thought that it would turn out like this," Kagome asked, trying to hold back her urge to go over and tackle the girl just a few feet in front of her.
"Yeah," Sango began laughing lightly with her friend. She looked over to Kagome, and saw how mad she was and began to feel a little awful. Her laughter dying in her throat.
"Well you see Kagome. Me and Rin were thinking of something that would be really funny to do to you for April Fools Day," Sango replied trying to appease her friend. "And well, we ended up signing you up for an E-Harmony account," she said sheepishly, now feeling bad for what they did a couple of weeks ago.
"Wait… you guys did what," Ayame asked not believing what she heard, "man that's good. Why didn't you guys tell me about it," she asked looking back and forth between Rin and Sango.
"I would've loved to be a part of that," Ayame stated, a little sad to be left out of such a huge plot to get their friend back.
Rin seeing her friends downcast demeanor tried to rectify the situation. She went over to where her green haired friend was sitting and stated kindheartedly, "Yeah...well you and Yoshida," while moving her hand in a circular motion, to show how it was like a repeating pattern, "always hanging out."
"Oh," Ayame stated eyes going wide for a second when understanding dawned on her. After a couple of seconds she shook her head. "Let me see what you all put for the ad about her," she said with a smile, letting her friends know that no hard feelings were in place.
"Here, read this part," Rin said handing the papers to her friend.
"Single. Eighteen year old female, that loves to sing and dance, and guarantees you a good time. People say that I look a lot like the modal, Yuri Ebihara..," Ayame started reading out loud the advertisement for her friend. "Wow...now I now why guys are bugging you," she replied looking to Kagome. She looked back to Sango and Rin. "Man you guys are too much…this is hilarious," she rejoined while starting to crack up from the ridiculous things she was reading about her friend.
"Yeah," Kagome began dryly, looking down with her head in her hands. "And it doesn't help that they put my real name," she stated shaking her head back and forth. Knowing that complaining about it wouldn't change a thing, but she still had to let them know that she did not like her situation one bit. "A lot of people know us. This is just great you guys," she responded now starting to pout, since she knew it was a joke the whole time, and there wouldn't be any turning back now.
"Oh Kagome, stop it," Sango started, "you will get no sympathy from us." She made sure to have a firm hold on Kagome's attention as she continued, "you, out of all of us… are the worst with April Fools jokes."
Sango crossed her legs, shaking her head as she gave the girl more of her retort, "I mean do you remember what you did to me last year." She left her statement hanging, so her friend could get a chance to think back to the previous years deeds, "you took me lingerie shopping."
Seeing recognition in her friends' eyes she decided to proceed, "and then…you invited Sakamoto to your apartment, since you told him that you had a surprise for him." She held sarcastic quotations around the make believe idea, "and to wait and call you, before he came over."
Seeing Ayame and Rin giggle a bit as she retold the story, Sango gave them a hard look and ensued, "and then we got to your house, and we tried on the lingerie to show each other, and you let that pervert in before I came out. I had him looking at me like a salivating puppy for weeks! And this," Sango said, pointing to the papers of all the Kagome admirers, "doesn't even come close."
"She has you there Kags," Rin said pointing out the obvious. "You really are bad with April Fools jokes," she replied shivering a little at all the April Fools Day jokes, she had to put up with at Kagome's expense.
"Yeah, I know," Kagome said, finally submitting to the fact that she was outdone. "I guess I deserved it," she replied slouching a bit in her seat, showing the other occupants in the room just how much it got to her.
"It's just that I never thought that you guys could get back at me," Kagome continued, laughing a little. "I am always on top of this type of thing," she said with a little smirk in place. "You guys really got me good," shaking her head, letting the others know that she was lowering her hat in respect for a job well done.
"Hey let's not throw this out the window," Ayame cut in. "Your dream man may be in here some where," she said, looking over the papers.
"Hey she might be right," Rin said, agreeing with the green eyed beauty, "I mean think about it Kags, how bad could it be… just to give these guys a shot?" Rin asked to her friend.
"Well," Kagome laughed. "Who now, do you think that I should give this once in a lifetime opportunity to," she asked as she walked over to where her friends were huddled on the bed. She took the papers in her hand, "should it be Ladyzman88?" She raised her shoulders, and smiled as she looked to the next one. "Or maybe SexGod?" Kagome asked her brown haired friend.
"Well I was thinking ," Sango shot from her angle of the papers.
"No," Rin cut in shaking her head. "I think we should choose KamisGift," she said directing the conversation back to the girl intended for the date.
Kagome couldn't hold back the laugh that was bubbling in her throat, "KamisGift." She let out a little chuckle, "is this guy serious." Shaking her head, she replied, "He sure thinks a lot about himself."
"Well, it says here that he knows you will like what you see," Ayame replied, cutting into the conversation. "And he is twenty…and tall and athletically built," Ayame sighed, looking up from the paper, trying to picture the man in her head.
"No Ayame," Sango said to the green haired girl. Laughing at the crap this guy put on his profile, "it says… he was sculpted by the KAMIS themselves. Oh gosh, this guy is too much," Sango said holding her stomach to try to keep herself from tumbling off the bed.
"Well I think it's unanimous," Rin stated, fully happy that everyone was agreeing on the man. "Kagome is going out with KamisGift," she looked over to Sango and Ayame to see what they thought about it and saw them eagerly shaking their heads.
"Um, don't I get a say in this," Kagome cut in, looking at the other girls like they were crazy to be making their mind up for her. "I mean with the way this guy sounds," she continued, sounding unsure. "I don't know guys, he is probably really nasty looking, or so full of himself that he would stare at himself in his spoon," she looked over to the other girls with a quirked eyebrow.
"Come on Kagome," Ayame cut in, holding her hands together in front of her, begging her friend to at least… give this guy a chance.
"Yeah Kagome… how bad could it be," Rin asked her friend, while already making a reply back to the man in question.
"Well let me think," Kagome started, putting her pointer finger to her chin. "Going out with a guy… that thinks he is Gods gift to the planet," she drawled on. Putting emphasis on God and planet, she took a deep breath, "Yeah, I really don't think that would work out guys." She stated in a higher pitched voice, making fun of the whole idea, hoping her friends saw her side and would go for someone a little more…well normal.
"Come on Kagome," Sango protested, laughing a little at her friends voice. "If it's so bad," she replied rolling her eyes. "We will just bail you out," she finished smiling at the other girl.
Kagome almost rolled her eyes at the fact that she was partially buying her friends reply. Finally giving into the idea, she gave her head a small shake, "Okay, I guess I can go on one date with this guy…but if it's bad, you guys are going to get it."
"Okay good… cause I already sent it," Rin replied closing up her laptop fresh off the internet. "It would have been weird… for you to reply back to him, and you having to explain everything," she stated, shaking her head in mock irritation.
"Well thanks for looking out for my well being," Kagome said, while feeling completely retarded for agreeing in the first place, and there was still a small part that was telling her that this guy was not going to be good news.
"Hey you know," Ayame exclaimed all excited about her newest idea. "We should go to that club tonight," she said looking to the three other girls in the room. "Come on guys. And Kagome, it would cheer you up," Ayame proclaimed all excited about her fresh idea.
"Yeah let's go," Rin stated, all excited about this latest turn of events. She looked to the girls, a giddy smile covering her visage, "I have been wanting to go to the club for a while now."
"Well," Sango started slowly, trying to decide rather or not going to a club on a Thursday was a good idea or not. She did have school in the morning. "I am go too," she finally replied, a small smile on her face. "Kagome…what about you," she asked her sister like friend.
"Oh… I guess so," Kagome began tiredly. "Since it will help me overlook the depressing news that I will be going on a blind date with a guy that thinks he is Gods gift to the planet," she explained, since she was still a little upset about the whole ordeal.
"Okay than," Rin exclaimed, "let's get our bee-hinds in shape ladies… I mean we have an image to uphold…being Gods gift to men," she stated trying to make Kagome smile a little.
Which worked, "wow, Rin," Kagome laughed. She looked over to her friend, a big smile on her face, "heck yes we are."
"Oh yeah," Ayame cut in before all the girls had a chance to leave the room. When she knew she had their attention, she continued, "And I forgot to add… that it is also open mic night, starting at midnight." She paused a couple seconds, letting her statement sink in, a grin overtaking her features, "so we know we need to go."
"Oh really," Rin piped up having new-fangled excitement. "Wow I really wanted to go earlier, but now I know we have to go," she smiled and clapped her hands, bursting out of the room to go in search of the perfect outfit.
Sango looked to Kagome, and the girls had to laugh at Rin's antics. "You would think she would be the one to dye her hair the crazy colors," Sango said laughing at Rin, who was throwing shirts and dresses into the hallway, going crazy over finding the right outfit to go out in. "With the way her personality is…but she always keeps her natural brown," she smiled at Kagome, who was watching the whole thing with wide eyes. She began shaking her head back and forth, when a cute green halter top ended up hitting Ayame in the head, when she walked into the room to see why there was so many clothes lying around.
Both girls immediately heard, "Rin," some fumbling around… and the sound of someone hitting their head on a self.
After a two second delay of nothing but silence, a meek, "sorry," was heard, before all the ruckus once more ensued.
"Yeah I know," Kagome stated, laughing at the events that just took place and finally answering her friends' question.
"Who knows," Sango said laughing a bit. "Maybe I will go all crazy… and add some weird color in mine next," she added as a joke to her friends' tendency to go crazy with that part of her body.
"Yeah… maybe," Kagome added with a little wink.
"Come on you two," they heard Rin yell out, followed by the clatter of what sounded to them like makeup and nail polish being poured on their armoire. "We need to get ready if we want to be there by ten," she added some where from the rear of the room, probably back in the closet.
Kagome and Sango just looked at each other and shook their heads while walking into the room.

InuYasha pulled up to the front of the club, inspecting all around him for his friend. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man that had short brown hair that had been highlighted. A sniff in the mans direction, and he knew it was Miroku. 'I thought he had dark brown hair. He must have colored it since last week' he thought as he headed off in his direction close to the door. When he reached him, he had to give his friend a good applause for his taste in clothes. Miroku was wearing this blue, white, and gray stripped short sleeve shirt, with a white belt and dark denim jeans… and a pair of white tennis shoes to match.
"Miroku," InuYasha greeted, trying to get his friends attention.
Miroku turned at the sound of his name, and his eyes landed on his high school friend, "Hey InuYasha." Seeing no other tall brown haired men he asked, "Sesshomaru didn't make it?"
InuYasha shrugged his shoulders, "He said work was dragging behind today, so he couldn't leave."
Nodding his head in understanding, Miroku gave his friend a one over, "well I see you went all out with your outfit." He laughed as he reached his hand out for his friend, "you are exactly the way you used to be man."
"Well somebody has to have style in this town," InuYasha remarked back, pulling back from their introduction.
"Yeah," Miroku laughed. "But no one said that you have to stroll in here looking like Usher," he kidded back.
"Keh, you're the one looking like Zac Efron," InuYasha sounded off, a little taken back at his friend was making fun of him… so early into the day.
"Zac who," Miroku questioned, he looked over to InuYasha and saw him in his trademark 'leave me the hell alone' pose, he shrugged his shoulders. Looking over to the women beside him, "Hello ladies, you all are looking lovely tonight."
InuYasha hearing his friend up to his usual antics, relaxed a little. Trying to act his age and not his shoe size.
He looked over to the women that Miroku was speaking with, they were smiling and giggling over the attention his friend was giving them.
"How about we get together later," Miroku replied smoothly to the two women in front of him.
The woman shook their head, they brought out a piece of paper from their purse, "Call me, when you get a chance tonight," one girl replied, giving Miroku pouty lips. Her hand lingering a little longer then necessary over his.
Getting annoyed by the women, and bored of the attention Miroku was getting, InuYasha cleared his throat. "Can we head in now," InuYasha asked, turning to face them.
"Yeah we can head in," Miroku started the walk into the club followed closely by InuYasha. "We have to find the girls any way…they wouldn't miss tonight for the world," he said leading him through the club doors.
They heard women shouting and turned around briefly. InuYasha noticed Onizuka, and immediately pushed Miroku fully into the club, hoping that he wouldn't run into her… at all tonight!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
When the girls were finally convinced that they looked the top of their game, each girl looking trendy and sexy… they made their way to Sangos' 2006 turquoise Honda Civic.
Thinking that the short fifteen minute drive to the club would be painless and without any type of hindrance, the girls were completely taken aback, when at every light they had guys hitting on them. Of course loving the attention, each one played their part, but after like seven lights… the interest was starting to get a little unnerving.
"How much longer Sango," Rin asked from her spot directly behind the drivers' seat, rolling up her window, as they made it to… once again, another stop light.
"I can see the line up ahead," Kagome commented for her friend, in her spot in the front passenger seat.
"Thank God," they heard Ayame exclaim from the back, and they all had to shake their heads in agreement.
Seeing the long line bordering the front entrance, Sango decided to park a little further away, just so nothing would hurt Her Baby as she deemed to call it.
Finally at the club… and ready to get in there, all the girls unbuckled their seat belts and headed out of the car, purse in hand.
Sango, walking in front of the other girls, felt eyes on her.
She turned her head slightly to her side, to see her friends staring at her… for what felt like the hundredth time, since they put her in the outfit. "What is it now," she asked, mildly irritated by all the attention her friends were giving her, because she decided for once… to dress a little sexy.
"You look so pretty," Rin smiled at her friend.
"And your hair down and wavy looks amazing," Ayame added fascinated, at what a little girl time could do to a person.
"Come on Sango, you do look amazing," Kagome added completely agreeing with her other two friends. "And besides Sakamoto would love it," she smiled, trying to get her friend to be more excited about her outfit, and how her skin tight purple dress shirt made her look drop dead gorgeous.
Sango had to blush at that, she completely forgot that their perverted "manager" was meeting them there, "Shut up. I could really care less what that pervert thinks," she added turning away from her friends.
"Yeah, yeah hide it all you want, but one day the truth…will… prevail," Rin added, giving extra emphasis to the last portion of her statement.
The girls laughed at Rin while walking through the last section of the sidewalk and right past the bouncer, since everyone knew who they were… almost everywhere they went.
When they walked into the club, they were amazed by how many people were there. "I wonder if everyone is here for the contest," Ayame asked a little confused by the number of people in attendance…it was double what it nearly was.
"It has to be the contest," Sango stated not really believing how crowded the club was.
"Who cares why so many people are here," Kagome smiled to her friends. "Let's just dance and have a good time," she replied lifting her hands in the air, swaying back and forth to the beat, trying to encourage the other girls to do the same.
"Kagome is right," Rin grinned pulling Ayame closer to the dance floor. "Let's get our groove on," she started to shake her hips once she got to the middle of the dance floor, encouraging Ayame to follow in her foot steps.
The other two girls followed now in the mood to get over to the floor and dance when their favorite song rang through the club,
"I never had to say goodbye
You must have known I wouldn't stay
While you were talking about our life
You killed the beauty of today"
Rin pulled Sango in front of her, so that the two girls could start to dance to the song, while spotting Ayame and Kagome close by dancing with each other.
Kagome had to smile, as she began moving her hips to the beat and singing along to the song. No matter how many boyfriends she has had… none of them understood her. She was really happy for Ayame, but Yoshida and herself... they just didn't work out, and it took a lot of convincing from everyone around Koga that he should go for Ayame, and they have been together ever since…which makes this now about a year.
Ayame looked up at Kagome and saw that her friend was really getting into the song and had to smile. 'She is always so pretty when she is dancing and singing,' but Ayame quickly thought to her friends' singleness. It's not that it was weird that they dated the same guy…it was just that ever since then, Kagome hadn't dated anyone. She always said that she was just trying to enjoy life and get through college without the added agitation that a boyfriend brings, "too much responsibility," her friend would say. And although Ayame had to agree, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for her friend that she didn't have someone to hold and cuddle with during the night.
"What do you think they are thinking about?" Rin asked her dance partner.
"Probably that they are lucky that they didn't end up with you," Sango added with a twinkle in her eye.
"Haha Sango…you and everyone else knows that I am the best person to be around in our group," Rin said with an air of cockiness, which anyone that knew her, would know that she was completely kidding but still needed to say it just for laughs.
"Oh Rin," Sango smiled at the younger girl. "Of course you are," she drawled, looking her straight on. "I must have lost my mind for a minute," she added with a little chuckle escaping her mouth.
"Must've," Rin responded laughing at their behavior.
"So Ayame," Kagome started, still swaying her hips back and forth. "Is Yoshida meeting us here… or is he going to be studying tonight," she asked, looking up slightly to see what her friend had to say.
"Oh, well he will be coming around eleven," she replied thinking back a moment, giving her head slight shake… knowing her answer was correct, she looked back to her friend. "He said that he had to finish this project given to him in his comp. 1230 class," she stated shaking her hips to the beat of the song.
"Which class is that," Kagome asked a little confused. "The animation one," she stated, her face scrunching up as she tried to think of the different titles each of the classes held.
"No it's the graphics design one," Ayame responded laughing lightly. "Yeah I know it's hard for me to keep up with too," she stated, trying to give her friend a little encouragement, letting her know not to feel bad about mixing the titles up.
"You got that right," Kagome added, laughing at her friend's statement. She heard the verse end, and lifted her hands in the air and she sang through the chorus once more.

The first thing InuYasha noticed when he entered the club beside Miroku was that the club was packed, "Wow."
Miroku laughed a little, "Yeah, there is a lot of people here tonight."
"Why is the place so packed," InuYasha suddenly cut in, looking all over the club, up on the catwalk, over to the bar, and on the dance floor, noticing that every area was full of people.
"Well to tell you the truth," Miroku responded, looking over the crowds of people as well. "There is a lot more people here tonight than there usually is, but it probably has something to do with the contest," he stated, eyes falling on the dance floor.
"Contest," he heard InuYasha ask, immediately turning his head to face him.
"Yeah," Miroku replied sheepishly, turning his head to face him. "It's pretty big actually… a lot of the contestants go all out for that five-hundred dollars."
"Five-hundred bucks," InuYasha asked, amazing by how much money a person got just for winning a singing contest. "Damn, that's a lot of money. Are you entering man," he asked Miroku.
"No I don't think so," Miroku began. "Singing isn't rea—"
"No," InuYasha cut in. "I am going to do it, and so are you," he replied to his friend. He saw Miroku beginning to argue with him, and gave him a hard glare. Seeing him promptly close his mouth, satisfied that he wasn't going to put up a fight, InuYasha crossed his arms over his chest, a huge grin on his face.
Seeing his friend looking the other way, InuYasha asked, "So are the girls here or what?"
"Yeah they should be…this is one of their favorite songs," Miroku replied, looking around the dance floor a little more. "Ah, there they are," he extended his finger in the direction in which he spotted the girls.
When InuYasha looked over, he was shocked to see the girls dancing all over each other, "Do they dance like that a lot?" he was curious to see what he had been missing.
"Only when they are really into the songs," Miroku stated smugly, leading the way over to the girls. "Come on…apparently the party has already started," he said, wagging his eyebrow at the man following in his foot steps.

Suddenly the phone on the nightstand sounded, playing his favorite yet most hated song at the moment,
"Day and night
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night
He's all alone some things will never change (never change)
The lonely loner seems to free his mind at night (at, at, at night)"
InuYasha reached for the phone just before the chorus was through the second time, and when he saw who it was he had to hold back a growl.
"What the crap are you doing calling all early in the morning…haven't you heard of sleep," he barked into the phone
"My, my InuYasha, sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," the man on the other end of the phone taunted.
InuYasha, really not being in the mood for his brothers antics this early, replied tiredly into the phone, "Who cares Sesshomaru, what did you call about in the first place?"
The man on the other end of the phone let out a little chuckle, "Well you certainly are insolent. Did you totally disregard the fact that you have a meeting at the office today?"
InuYasha just rolled his eyes, "Whatever, when am I supposed to be there?"
"Now. I expect you in ten minutes," and without saying goodbye the other man hung up the phone.
InuYasha rolled out of bed exhausted and hating the fact that he had to go to work that morning, 'It's just what I need to have to see the biggest ass that ever lived.'
He decided against taking a quick shower, so he just went straight to his closet and looked over the multiple suites that aligned the inside. "Let's see," he stated aloud, trying to think of a suite that would let everyone know that he had style, looks, and money. "We will go with this today," he stated, while pulling out the outfit in which would add to his already large sense of self. The suites' pants were black and straight legged, but the pants weren't the important thing. The jacket was designed special, just for him. The jacket was black and white mini-checkered that went along with a matching vest, and to top it all off, he wore a diamond pattern tie that was black on the inside, with gray and white outlining each diamond shape.
The clothing fit perfectly over his body, gripping every where it needed to let others know of the type of body he had. When he was satisfied that his hair was pulled neatly back, and his suite looked perfect he headed to his car to start off for his brothers' office.

When he pulled out of his driveway, his mind started to wonder to another mild hindrance to the past week, Higurashi. He was really annoyed of her bratty attitude. He wasn't used to girls not paying attention to him, and it was really pissing him off. He just couldn't figure her out. He was so frustrated about it last Saturday night after the concert that he hadn't even slept with Onizuka.
He just dropped her off at her house, when she got out of the car thinking that he would follow her in, he just put his car in drive and headed to his own flat.
'What's wrong with me,' he found himself asking again, for what felt like the hundredth time that week. He turned on his blinker to let the other drivers know that he was switching lanes to get fully on the highway, and when he was satisfied that there was enough room to enter, he veered slightly to the left to make the short travel to the office.
'Wait, what am I thinking,' he stopped himself. Shaking his head at the stupid thought, 'there is nothing wrong with me'. He turned right to get off the highway and made the short travel two blocks to his fathers' company, 'there has to be something wrong with her,' he thought as he rotated his steering wheel roughly to the right to make the car fit in the tight parking spot, the only one available at the moment. 'She is the one who doesn't like me,' and just as that thought came through his mind, he caught a woman across the parking lot staring at him, and she finally tripped because she was so caught off guard. InuYasha just snickered at himself, 'Yeah it's definitely her'. So with that final resolve, he strolled up to his brothers' office without any other distractions.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
He walked right passed the secretary and went straight for the doors leading to his brother, and when he walked in he had to take a pause but quickly recuperated. 'Where the hell did that woman come from,' he thought as a dark haired demon made her way past him.
"See you later, Sesshomaru," she called lightly over her shoulder to the man still sitting behind his desk.
Sesshomaru just chuckled lightly and when he was sure the woman was completely out of the room, he answered with, "Perhaps." Turning to InuYasha and seeing the grin tugging on his face, Sesshomaru had to roll his eyes.
"That's disgusting to even think about InuYasha," Sesshomaru ridiculed mildly to his brother once he closed the door. "Did you not get a good whiff of her," he asked with a raised eyebrow at his brother.
InuYasha, not really remembering the scent from the woman just shrugged his shoulders.
Sesshomaru seeing his brother not taking the insult, furthered his response, "I am not as frivolous in my behavior as you. Little brother."
Seeing InuYasha on guard and knowing that he got the response he wanted. He had to smile. He decided to change subjects, "Ready for the meeting," he asked light-heartedly… as if he hadn't said anything wrong to anyone in his life.
InuYasha, knowing his brother just wanted to get on his nerves, just rolled his eyes, "Yeah, let's get this damn thing over with."

Finally free from the dumb whit battle that he had to sit in for the past two hours, InuYasha started for his car when his cell phone rang.
"…Hello?"
"Hey InuYasha, it's Miroku…did you not put my number in your phone? You sounded a little hesitant," his friend stated through the device.
"Yeah…I must've forgot. Sorry man, I will do that now. So what's up?" InuYasha asked while typing his friends name on the key board on his iPhone. Still making his way to his car, he glanced up a couple times to make sure he was headed in the right direction. With a final click, his friends' number was saved, and he made the rest of the approach to his car.
"Well, actually I was wondering if you were busy tonight. I was thinking that we could go out to this club tonight downtown. It could give us time to hang out and catch up! So what do you say?" Miroku asked while hoping that his lifelong friend would say yes.
"Same old Miroku as ever I see," InuYasha joked into his cell. He put his car into reverse as he looked over his shoulder to begin backing out of his trusted space.
"Haha," Miroku began sarcastically. Shaking his head, he continued, "No man, I am serious about this. All the hot girls go to this club, come on… you can even bring Sessh along with you."
"Yeah, like that would happen," InuYasha laughed into the phone. "When was the last time I ever went anywhere just to hang out with that ass," he asked to his friend, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Oh come on, InuYasha," Miroku began laughing at how dumb that question sounded.
"You know, as well I as I do, that you two used to go everywhere with each other," he answered, shacking his head back and forth at how dumb his friend could be at times.
Staying silent for a moment, InuYasha had to think about how true his friends' statement was, 'We really did.' He shook his head a little at how different things were now, "Things have changed man."
"Come on InuYasha," Miroku begged into the phone. "I really want to see the both of you tonight," he remarked eagerly into the other end.
"I haven't seen either one of you in five years," he began, before his friend could reply. "Please come, and bring Sessh," he asked blithely.
He heard InuYasha sigh on the other end, and before his friend could give him some type of crap answer, he threw in, "Besides…I think Higurashi and the girls are going," Miroku added the last part, since he knew with that added incentive his friend would say yes.
InuYasha knew that he wanted to say yes when he heard Kagome was going, but he had to roll his eyes at how predictable it was, and the fact that he would have to endure a whole night of his brother. "I Guess I can ask him, but I won't promise anything," he said grudgingly.
"Can I count you in," Miroku asked excitedly on the other end.
InuYasha rolling his eyes at his friends excitement, had to smile at just how much Miroku stayed the same, "Yeah man I will be there. What time do you want to meet up?"

To say that Kagome Higurashi was mad would be an understatement. Pissed would be more like it, 'I'm gonna kill them'. She pushed her way through the last hallway, up the stairs where she knew her three best friends were hanging out. She threw the door open and barged inside, making any conversation that was going on just a few seconds prior cease.
"What is this," Kagome asked her three friends, holding multiple sheets of paper in her hands trying to get them to explain.
"Well, if we could see what it was… then maybe we could help you out Kags," Ayame perched up not liking the anger radiating off of her friend.
"Here," Kagome tossed the pile of paper her friend's way, so they could start explaining for her reason of being very exasperated.
"I have never seen those before," Rin answered quickly. She skimmed threw a couple more sheets," Yeah, what is this Kagome. You bragging again about all the guys that are hitting on you," she asked wagging her eyebrow.
"Haha, Rin," Kagome began dryly. "But I know, for a fact… that you all did something," she stated crossing her arms over her chest, with a 'do you think I am stupid' look on her face.
"And what makes you so sure," Rin challenged lightly. Loving the fact that her friend was so over herself with this issue.
"Because," Kagome began seriously. "One of the men told me," she said pointing to herself. "That my friends told him… that I would be a good time," she stated hating the fact that she had to repeat those words.
"Oh," Sango offered timidly.
"What do you mean… 'oh'," Kagome started to ask with a mild twitch of her right eye.
She saw Sango beginning to bite her lip, letting her know that she was nervous and had to narrow her eyes at the girl.
She was ready to ask for an answer once more, when suddenly Rin started busting out laughing… and ended up rolling on the floor.
"Rin…I do not see how me receiving like a hundred e-mails from random men on an account I had never signed up for is even mildly humorous," Kagome replied through clenched teeth to her friend who was just making her situation worse.
"Haha… sorry Kag's I am not trying to be mean or anything. It's just that I never thought that it would turn out like this," Rin began to explain.
"What do you mean… you never thought that it would turn out like this," Kagome asked, trying to hold back her urge to go over and tackle the girl just a few feet in front of her.
"Yeah," Sango began laughing lightly with her friend. She looked over to Kagome, and saw how mad she was and began to feel a little awful. Her laughter dying in her throat.
"Well you see Kagome. Me and Rin were thinking of something that would be really funny to do to you for April Fools Day," Sango replied trying to appease her friend. "And well, we ended up signing you up for an E-Harmony account," she said sheepishly, now feeling bad for what they did a couple of weeks ago.
"Wait… you guys did what," Ayame asked not believing what she heard, "man that's good. Why didn't you guys tell me about it," she asked looking back and forth between Rin and Sango.
"I would've loved to be a part of that," Ayame stated, a little sad to be left out of such a huge plot to get their friend back.
Rin seeing her friends downcast demeanor tried to rectify the situation. She went over to where her green haired friend was sitting and stated kindheartedly, "Yeah...well you and Yoshida," while moving her hand in a circular motion, to show how it was like a repeating pattern, "always hanging out."
"Oh," Ayame stated eyes going wide for a second when understanding dawned on her. After a couple of seconds she shook her head. "Let me see what you all put for the ad about her," she said with a smile, letting her friends know that no hard feelings were in place.
"Here, read this part," Rin said handing the papers to her friend.
"Single. Eighteen year old female, that loves to sing and dance, and guarantees you a good time. People say that I look a lot like the modal, Yuri Ebihara..," Ayame started reading out loud the advertisement for her friend. "Wow...now I now why guys are bugging you," she replied looking to Kagome. She looked back to Sango and Rin. "Man you guys are too much…this is hilarious," she rejoined while starting to crack up from the ridiculous things she was reading about her friend.
"Yeah," Kagome began dryly, looking down with her head in her hands. "And it doesn't help that they put my real name," she stated shaking her head back and forth. Knowing that complaining about it wouldn't change a thing, but she still had to let them know that she did not like her situation one bit. "A lot of people know us. This is just great you guys," she responded now starting to pout, since she knew it was a joke the whole time, and there wouldn't be any turning back now.
"Oh Kagome, stop it," Sango started, "you will get no sympathy from us." She made sure to have a firm hold on Kagome's attention as she continued, "you, out of all of us… are the worst with April Fools jokes."
Sango crossed her legs, shaking her head as she gave the girl more of her retort, "I mean do you remember what you did to me last year." She left her statement hanging, so her friend could get a chance to think back to the previous years deeds, "you took me lingerie shopping."
Seeing recognition in her friends' eyes she decided to proceed, "and then…you invited Sakamoto to your apartment, since you told him that you had a surprise for him." She held sarcastic quotations around the make believe idea, "and to wait and call you, before he came over."
Seeing Ayame and Rin giggle a bit as she retold the story, Sango gave them a hard look and ensued, "and then we got to your house, and we tried on the lingerie to show each other, and you let that pervert in before I came out. I had him looking at me like a salivating puppy for weeks! And this," Sango said, pointing to the papers of all the Kagome admirers, "doesn't even come close."
"She has you there Kags," Rin said pointing out the obvious. "You really are bad with April Fools jokes," she replied shivering a little at all the April Fools Day jokes, she had to put up with at Kagome's expense.
"Yeah, I know," Kagome said, finally submitting to the fact that she was outdone. "I guess I deserved it," she replied slouching a bit in her seat, showing the other occupants in the room just how much it got to her.
"It's just that I never thought that you guys could get back at me," Kagome continued, laughing a little. "I am always on top of this type of thing," she said with a little smirk in place. "You guys really got me good," shaking her head, letting the others know that she was lowering her hat in respect for a job well done.
"Hey let's not throw this out the window," Ayame cut in. "Your dream man may be in here some where," she said, looking over the papers.
"Hey she might be right," Rin said, agreeing with the green eyed beauty, "I mean think about it Kags, how bad could it be… just to give these guys a shot?" Rin asked to her friend.
"Well," Kagome laughed. "Who now, do you think that I should give this once in a lifetime opportunity to," she asked as she walked over to where her friends were huddled on the bed. She took the papers in her hand, "should it be Ladyzman88?" She raised her shoulders, and smiled as she looked to the next one. "Or maybe SexGod?" Kagome asked her brown haired friend.
"Well I was thinking ," Sango shot from her angle of the papers.
"No," Rin cut in shaking her head. "I think we should choose KamisGift," she said directing the conversation back to the girl intended for the date.
Kagome couldn't hold back the laugh that was bubbling in her throat, "KamisGift." She let out a little chuckle, "is this guy serious." Shaking her head, she replied, "He sure thinks a lot about himself."
"Well, it says here that he knows you will like what you see," Ayame replied, cutting into the conversation. "And he is twenty…and tall and athletically built," Ayame sighed, looking up from the paper, trying to picture the man in her head.
"No Ayame," Sango said to the green haired girl. Laughing at the crap this guy put on his profile, "it says… he was sculpted by the KAMIS themselves. Oh gosh, this guy is too much," Sango said holding her stomach to try to keep herself from tumbling off the bed.
"Well I think it's unanimous," Rin stated, fully happy that everyone was agreeing on the man. "Kagome is going out with KamisGift," she looked over to Sango and Ayame to see what they thought about it and saw them eagerly shaking their heads.
"Um, don't I get a say in this," Kagome cut in, looking at the other girls like they were crazy to be making their mind up for her. "I mean with the way this guy sounds," she continued, sounding unsure. "I don't know guys, he is probably really nasty looking, or so full of himself that he would stare at himself in his spoon," she looked over to the other girls with a quirked eyebrow.
"Come on Kagome," Ayame cut in, holding her hands together in front of her, begging her friend to at least… give this guy a chance.
"Yeah Kagome… how bad could it be," Rin asked her friend, while already making a reply back to the man in question.
"Well let me think," Kagome started, putting her pointer finger to her chin. "Going out with a guy… that thinks he is Gods gift to the planet," she drawled on. Putting emphasis on God and planet, she took a deep breath, "Yeah, I really don't think that would work out guys." She stated in a higher pitched voice, making fun of the whole idea, hoping her friends saw her side and would go for someone a little more…well normal.
"Come on Kagome," Sango protested, laughing a little at her friends voice. "If it's so bad," she replied rolling her eyes. "We will just bail you out," she finished smiling at the other girl.
Kagome almost rolled her eyes at the fact that she was partially buying her friends reply. Finally giving into the idea, she gave her head a small shake, "Okay, I guess I can go on one date with this guy…but if it's bad, you guys are going to get it."
"Okay good… cause I already sent it," Rin replied closing up her laptop fresh off the internet. "It would have been weird… for you to reply back to him, and you having to explain everything," she stated, shaking her head in mock irritation.
"Well thanks for looking out for my well being," Kagome said, while feeling completely retarded for agreeing in the first place, and there was still a small part that was telling her that this guy was not going to be good news.
"Hey you know," Ayame exclaimed all excited about her newest idea. "We should go to that club tonight," she said looking to the three other girls in the room. "Come on guys. And Kagome, it would cheer you up," Ayame proclaimed all excited about her fresh idea.
"Yeah let's go," Rin stated, all excited about this latest turn of events. She looked to the girls, a giddy smile covering her visage, "I have been wanting to go to the club for a while now."
"Well," Sango started slowly, trying to decide rather or not going to a club on a Thursday was a good idea or not. She did have school in the morning. "I am go too," she finally replied, a small smile on her face. "Kagome…what about you," she asked her sister like friend.
"Oh… I guess so," Kagome began tiredly. "Since it will help me overlook the depressing news that I will be going on a blind date with a guy that thinks he is Gods gift to the planet," she explained, since she was still a little upset about the whole ordeal.
"Okay than," Rin exclaimed, "let's get our bee-hinds in shape ladies… I mean we have an image to uphold…being Gods gift to men," she stated trying to make Kagome smile a little.
Which worked, "wow, Rin," Kagome laughed. She looked over to her friend, a big smile on her face, "heck yes we are."
"Oh yeah," Ayame cut in before all the girls had a chance to leave the room. When she knew she had their attention, she continued, "And I forgot to add… that it is also open mic night, starting at midnight." She paused a couple seconds, letting her statement sink in, a grin overtaking her features, "so we know we need to go."
"Oh really," Rin piped up having new-fangled excitement. "Wow I really wanted to go earlier, but now I know we have to go," she smiled and clapped her hands, bursting out of the room to go in search of the perfect outfit.
Sango looked to Kagome, and the girls had to laugh at Rin's antics. "You would think she would be the one to dye her hair the crazy colors," Sango said laughing at Rin, who was throwing shirts and dresses into the hallway, going crazy over finding the right outfit to go out in. "With the way her personality is…but she always keeps her natural brown," she smiled at Kagome, who was watching the whole thing with wide eyes. She began shaking her head back and forth, when a cute green halter top ended up hitting Ayame in the head, when she walked into the room to see why there was so many clothes lying around.
Both girls immediately heard, "Rin," some fumbling around… and the sound of someone hitting their head on a self.
After a two second delay of nothing but silence, a meek, "sorry," was heard, before all the ruckus once more ensued.
"Yeah I know," Kagome stated, laughing at the events that just took place and finally answering her friends' question.
"Who knows," Sango said laughing a bit. "Maybe I will go all crazy… and add some weird color in mine next," she added as a joke to her friends' tendency to go crazy with that part of her body.
"Yeah… maybe," Kagome added with a little wink.
"Come on you two," they heard Rin yell out, followed by the clatter of what sounded to them like makeup and nail polish being poured on their armoire. "We need to get ready if we want to be there by ten," she added some where from the rear of the room, probably back in the closet.
Kagome and Sango just looked at each other and shook their heads while walking into the room.

InuYasha pulled up to the front of the club, inspecting all around him for his friend. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man that had short brown hair that had been highlighted. A sniff in the mans direction, and he knew it was Miroku. 'I thought he had dark brown hair. He must have colored it since last week' he thought as he headed off in his direction close to the door. When he reached him, he had to give his friend a good applause for his taste in clothes. Miroku was wearing this blue, white, and gray stripped short sleeve shirt, with a white belt and dark denim jeans… and a pair of white tennis shoes to match.
"Miroku," InuYasha greeted, trying to get his friends attention.
Miroku turned at the sound of his name, and his eyes landed on his high school friend, "Hey InuYasha." Seeing no other tall brown haired men he asked, "Sesshomaru didn't make it?"
InuYasha shrugged his shoulders, "He said work was dragging behind today, so he couldn't leave."
Nodding his head in understanding, Miroku gave his friend a one over, "well I see you went all out with your outfit." He laughed as he reached his hand out for his friend, "you are exactly the way you used to be man."
"Well somebody has to have style in this town," InuYasha remarked back, pulling back from their introduction.
"Yeah," Miroku laughed. "But no one said that you have to stroll in here looking like Usher," he kidded back.
"Keh, you're the one looking like Zac Efron," InuYasha sounded off, a little taken back at his friend was making fun of him… so early into the day.
"Zac who," Miroku questioned, he looked over to InuYasha and saw him in his trademark 'leave me the hell alone' pose, he shrugged his shoulders. Looking over to the women beside him, "Hello ladies, you all are looking lovely tonight."
InuYasha hearing his friend up to his usual antics, relaxed a little. Trying to act his age and not his shoe size.
He looked over to the women that Miroku was speaking with, they were smiling and giggling over the attention his friend was giving them.
"How about we get together later," Miroku replied smoothly to the two women in front of him.
The woman shook their head, they brought out a piece of paper from their purse, "Call me, when you get a chance tonight," one girl replied, giving Miroku pouty lips. Her hand lingering a little longer then necessary over his.
Getting annoyed by the women, and bored of the attention Miroku was getting, InuYasha cleared his throat. "Can we head in now," InuYasha asked, turning to face them.
"Yeah we can head in," Miroku started the walk into the club followed closely by InuYasha. "We have to find the girls any way…they wouldn't miss tonight for the world," he said leading him through the club doors.
They heard women shouting and turned around briefly. InuYasha noticed Onizuka, and immediately pushed Miroku fully into the club, hoping that he wouldn't run into her… at all tonight!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
When the girls were finally convinced that they looked the top of their game, each girl looking trendy and sexy… they made their way to Sangos' 2006 turquoise Honda Civic.
Thinking that the short fifteen minute drive to the club would be painless and without any type of hindrance, the girls were completely taken aback, when at every light they had guys hitting on them. Of course loving the attention, each one played their part, but after like seven lights… the interest was starting to get a little unnerving.
"How much longer Sango," Rin asked from her spot directly behind the drivers' seat, rolling up her window, as they made it to… once again, another stop light.
"I can see the line up ahead," Kagome commented for her friend, in her spot in the front passenger seat.
"Thank God," they heard Ayame exclaim from the back, and they all had to shake their heads in agreement.
Seeing the long line bordering the front entrance, Sango decided to park a little further away, just so nothing would hurt Her Baby as she deemed to call it.
Finally at the club… and ready to get in there, all the girls unbuckled their seat belts and headed out of the car, purse in hand.
Sango, walking in front of the other girls, felt eyes on her.
She turned her head slightly to her side, to see her friends staring at her… for what felt like the hundredth time, since they put her in the outfit. "What is it now," she asked, mildly irritated by all the attention her friends were giving her, because she decided for once… to dress a little sexy.
"You look so pretty," Rin smiled at her friend.
"And your hair down and wavy looks amazing," Ayame added fascinated, at what a little girl time could do to a person.
"Come on Sango, you do look amazing," Kagome added completely agreeing with her other two friends. "And besides Sakamoto would love it," she smiled, trying to get her friend to be more excited about her outfit, and how her skin tight purple dress shirt made her look drop dead gorgeous.
Sango had to blush at that, she completely forgot that their perverted "manager" was meeting them there, "Shut up. I could really care less what that pervert thinks," she added turning away from her friends.
"Yeah, yeah hide it all you want, but one day the truth…will… prevail," Rin added, giving extra emphasis to the last portion of her statement.
The girls laughed at Rin while walking through the last section of the sidewalk and right past the bouncer, since everyone knew who they were… almost everywhere they went.
When they walked into the club, they were amazed by how many people were there. "I wonder if everyone is here for the contest," Ayame asked a little confused by the number of people in attendance…it was double what it nearly was.
"It has to be the contest," Sango stated not really believing how crowded the club was.
"Who cares why so many people are here," Kagome smiled to her friends. "Let's just dance and have a good time," she replied lifting her hands in the air, swaying back and forth to the beat, trying to encourage the other girls to do the same.
"Kagome is right," Rin grinned pulling Ayame closer to the dance floor. "Let's get our groove on," she started to shake her hips once she got to the middle of the dance floor, encouraging Ayame to follow in her foot steps.
The other two girls followed now in the mood to get over to the floor and dance when their favorite song rang through the club,
"I never had to say goodbye
You must have known I wouldn't stay
While you were talking about our life
You killed the beauty of today"
Rin pulled Sango in front of her, so that the two girls could start to dance to the song, while spotting Ayame and Kagome close by dancing with each other.
Kagome had to smile, as she began moving her hips to the beat and singing along to the song. No matter how many boyfriends she has had… none of them understood her. She was really happy for Ayame, but Yoshida and herself... they just didn't work out, and it took a lot of convincing from everyone around Koga that he should go for Ayame, and they have been together ever since…which makes this now about a year.
Ayame looked up at Kagome and saw that her friend was really getting into the song and had to smile. 'She is always so pretty when she is dancing and singing,' but Ayame quickly thought to her friends' singleness. It's not that it was weird that they dated the same guy…it was just that ever since then, Kagome hadn't dated anyone. She always said that she was just trying to enjoy life and get through college without the added agitation that a boyfriend brings, "too much responsibility," her friend would say. And although Ayame had to agree, she couldn't help but feel a little sad for her friend that she didn't have someone to hold and cuddle with during the night.
"What do you think they are thinking about?" Rin asked her dance partner.
"Probably that they are lucky that they didn't end up with you," Sango added with a twinkle in her eye.
"Haha Sango…you and everyone else knows that I am the best person to be around in our group," Rin said with an air of cockiness, which anyone that knew her, would know that she was completely kidding but still needed to say it just for laughs.
"Oh Rin," Sango smiled at the younger girl. "Of course you are," she drawled, looking her straight on. "I must have lost my mind for a minute," she added with a little chuckle escaping her mouth.
"Must've," Rin responded laughing at their behavior.
"So Ayame," Kagome started, still swaying her hips back and forth. "Is Yoshida meeting us here… or is he going to be studying tonight," she asked, looking up slightly to see what her friend had to say.
"Oh, well he will be coming around eleven," she replied thinking back a moment, giving her head slight shake… knowing her answer was correct, she looked back to her friend. "He said that he had to finish this project given to him in his comp. 1230 class," she stated shaking her hips to the beat of the song.
"Which class is that," Kagome asked a little confused. "The animation one," she stated, her face scrunching up as she tried to think of the different titles each of the classes held.
"No it's the graphics design one," Ayame responded laughing lightly. "Yeah I know it's hard for me to keep up with too," she stated, trying to give her friend a little encouragement, letting her know not to feel bad about mixing the titles up.
"You got that right," Kagome added, laughing at her friend's statement. She heard the verse end, and lifted her hands in the air and she sang through the chorus once more.

The first thing InuYasha noticed when he entered the club beside Miroku was that the club was packed, "Wow."
Miroku laughed a little, "Yeah, there is a lot of people here tonight."
"Why is the place so packed," InuYasha suddenly cut in, looking all over the club, up on the catwalk, over to the bar, and on the dance floor, noticing that every area was full of people.
"Well to tell you the truth," Miroku responded, looking over the crowds of people as well. "There is a lot more people here tonight than there usually is, but it probably has something to do with the contest," he stated, eyes falling on the dance floor.
"Contest," he heard InuYasha ask, immediately turning his head to face him.
"Yeah," Miroku replied sheepishly, turning his head to face him. "It's pretty big actually… a lot of the contestants go all out for that five-hundred dollars."
"Five-hundred bucks," InuYasha asked, amazing by how much money a person got just for winning a singing contest. "Damn, that's a lot of money. Are you entering man," he asked Miroku.
"No I don't think so," Miroku began. "Singing isn't rea—"
"No," InuYasha cut in. "I am going to do it, and so are you," he replied to his friend. He saw Miroku beginning to argue with him, and gave him a hard glare. Seeing him promptly close his mouth, satisfied that he wasn't going to put up a fight, InuYasha crossed his arms over his chest, a huge grin on his face.
Seeing his friend looking the other way, InuYasha asked, "So are the girls here or what?"
"Yeah they should be…this is one of their favorite songs," Miroku replied, looking around the dance floor a little more. "Ah, there they are," he extended his finger in the direction in which he spotted the girls.
When InuYasha looked over, he was shocked to see the girls dancing all over each other, "Do they dance like that a lot?" he was curious to see what he had been missing.
"Only when they are really into the songs," Miroku stated smugly, leading the way over to the girls. "Come on…apparently the party has already started," he said, wagging his eyebrow at the man following in his foot steps.
