Someday You Will Be Loved
 
Chapter 7
 
It had been a long day. Kagome pulled her blouse away from her body as she stepped onto the elevator.
 
“Gah! I stink!” She had put a bit of milk in her tea that morning and it had already soured on her suit.
 
`I should have asked Sesshoumaru if I could change when I first went in.'
 
She felt the elevator slow to a stop. When the doors opened Bella stepped in.
 
“Kagome, what happened?” She asked, “You look like you've been through hell and back!”
 
“No kidding, I stink too,” she answered pointing at her outfit.
 
“Yeah, I wasn't going to mention that, but you do. Stink that is. So what exactly happened?”
 
“Well when he came in this morning he seemed a bit more…now what's the word I'm looking for?” Kagome racked her brain, “agitated then normal.”
 
“How come?” Bella asked clearly interested.
 
The elevator came to a stop on the bottom floor, doors opening to the grand Takahashi Corp. Lobby. The two secretaries were still in deep conversation.
 
“He totally freaked me out! I was so into my work, that I jumped up and knocked my cup of tea over when he spoke into the intercom!”
 
“Why didn't you ask to change when you went in to see him?”
 
“I was, but then he asked about the Charity Ball.”
 
“You mean the one on Friday?”
 
“Yeah, that's the one. He asked if I knew about it, then told me I'd be accompanying him to it!”
 
“Oh my God!”
 
“I was SO surprised, but then he told me the reason why he was taking me.” Kagome said looking down.
 
“What was the reason?”
 
“Because his father told him he had to and that he didn't want to bore any other woman with it.”
 
“Oh no he didn't!”
 
“He did and I was SO pissed that I stormed out and forgot all about asking to change. By the time I did remember, it was too late to go back and ask. I really don't want to go with him, but the way he put it, my job is on the line if I don't.”
 
“Well, you know what we have to do, right?” Bella said as she looped her arm through Kagome's.
 
“No,” Kagome answered confused.
 
“Come on girl! We have to get you a killer dress! One that will make Mr. Sesshoumaru Itou think twice before ever calling you boring again!”
 
Kagome laughed, “You're so totally right! At the least we'll have fun shopping.”
 
“That's the spirit! Besides I happen to know personally this Charity Ball is going to be a blast, because I organized it and of course I'll be there!”
 
“Hahaha! You're so conceited!” Kagome laughed as she got into her car to follow Bella to the mall.
 
 
When Inuyasha got home that afternoon he found a message from his father wanting him to call back. He picked up the phone and hit speed-dial.
 
“Hello, Takahashi speaking.”
 
“Hey Dad, why'd you call?”
 
“Ah, Inuyasha, I'm glad you called back. You're going to attend the Charity Ball this year and you need a date.”
 
“You mean that banquet dance thingy you have every year?”
 
“That's the one,” knowing what his son was thinking he continued, “And before you ask why, it's because I want the whole family there this year.”
 
“Geez, ok, but who the Hell am I supposed to take? I mean normally I would just ask Kagome, but she really isn't speaking to me at the moment.”
 
“I'm sure you'll think of someone Inuyasha. I'm afraid though that even if Kagome was talking to you, she's already being taken by someone else.”
 
He barely finished when Inuyasha asked, “Who? Who's taking Kagome?”
 
Takahashi prepared for the upcoming abrupt end to the conversation, “Sesshoumaru is taking her.”
 
“What the Hell!” Inuyasha bellowed as he slammed down the phone. Just what was that bastard up to? He intended to find out.
 

Sesshoumaru looked at the caller id as the phone rang. What did that whelp want now?
 
“Yes, Inuyasha,” Sesshoumaru said, answering the phone in a bored tone.
 
“What the Hell are you trying to pull, Sesshoumaru?” Inuyasha bellowed.
 
Sesshoumaru sat down and rubbed his temple, this was going to be fun. “What are you yelling about?”
 
“Dad said you were taking Kagome to the Charity Ball.”
 
“So that's it. Well, what he said is true, but I'm sure he didn't tell you it was his idea. You see I called and asked for her to be moved from my office and his one stipulation was that I take her as my date before he'd do it.”
 
“You better not hurt her!”
 
“Inuyasha, I've made no move to have a connection with her, we are both equally emotionally unattached to each other. There is no way I could hurt her,” Sesshoumaru said, and then added just for spite, “But you'd know all about hurting her, wouldn't you Inuyasha?”
 
“What the fuck!” Inuyasha growled, “How the Hell did you find out about that?”
 
“I have eyes and ears, little brother,” Sesshoumaru said hanging up the phone. He really didn't know exactly what had happened between Inuyasha and Kagome, only that Inuyasha seemed to be the cause of the pain in her eyes. But he would let the half-breed think what he wanted.
 
 
The day of the Charity Ball had finally arrived and Kagome sat nervously in her hairdresser's chair. She and Isabella both agreed an updo would look best with the dress. Not something stiff like her usual bun, but something soft and feminine.
 
“There! All done!” Zach clapped his hands together.
 
“Wow! It looks great! Thanks Zach!” Kagome said paying him and getting up to leave.
 
“Oh, Kagome!” Zach called, “If your date doesn't work out, you can always send him to me!”
 
Kagome chuckled as she headed out the door.
 
“I'll keep that in mind!” She called over her shoulder.
 
She went to get her makeup done next. Bella had given her specific instructions for this.
 
::FLASHBACK::
 
“You need to have your makeup done so you're eyes and lips pop.” Bella instructed her, “I want you to have him begging like a puppy by the end of the night.”
 
::END FLASHBACK::
 
`That would happen just after hell froze over,' Kagome thought, `Oh well. I'm going to make this as fun as possible.'
 
By the time she arrived back at her apartment she had all of 30 minutes to finish getting ready. Lucky for her, all she had to do was put on her dress. She checked herself over in the mirror one last time before she left to meet Sesshoumaru at the Charity Ball.
 
“Ready or not, here I come.”
 
 
Sesshoumaru was pacing. Where was that infuriating woman? She was already 20 minutes late and you were NOT late for anything that had to do with this Sesshoumaru.
 
“Mr. Itou, are you looking for Kagome?” It was Isabella Martinez, the secretary that had organized this thing, “I'm sure she has a good reason for being late.”
 
He didn't like the way she was smiling at him, but before he could say anything she spoke again.
 
“See, there she is now,” she said looking at the entrance.
 
There were several women standing around the entrance, but none of them were his secretary.
 
“Where?” He asked.
 
“Right there,” she replied pointing at one of the women.
 
It was at that moment Kagome and Sesshoumaru's eyes met.
 
`Oh God,' he groaned, `this night is going to be torture.'
 
 
 
Sesshoumaru didn't see his secretary when Ms. Martinez pointed, but when his eyes met the woman's she was pointing to, he realized it WAS his solemn little secretary. Only she didn't look very solemn or stiff now.
 
Her eyes were no longer behind the thick-framed glasses; her lips looked plump and luscious. Kagome's slender neck was accentuated by the dark curls that framed it.
 
Sesshoumaru let his gaze travel down her body. The turquoise colored dress hugged her every curve. She had her back turned to him, looking over her shoulder. The back of her dress plunged, leaving her entire back exposed. Any lower and… well, you get the picture.
 
When she turned to face him fully he groaned again. The neckline of her dress was pretty much nonexistent. The two strips of cloth passing over her full breasts ended just above her naval.
 
There was a slit that ran up the left side of the dress coming to a stop at mid-thigh. Her shapely legs were playing peek-a-boo as she walked towards him.
 
As he groaned again he thought, `It looks like even this Sesshoumaru is not immune to everything.'
