~ The Masquerade: Chapter 8 ~
Shutting the door behind her, Kagome looked over the crowed room. She paled when she spotted the karaoke screen and a group of girls singing. 'Maybe this was a bad idea after all' she thought as she slowly backed up, her hand searching blindly for the doorknob. A hand on hers and a voice from behind startled her, causing her to jump slightly.
"Leaving so soon after you arrive?" The silken voice causing shivers of delight to run down her spine.
Kagome spun around so she could face the man talking to her. A gasp escaped her lips when her body was pulled against his. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. Something about the way he smelled teased at her mind, as did how right she felt being in his arms. A girl clearing her throat close to them brought Kagome out of the trance she was in. Opening her eyes she found Eri staring at her wide eyed. Her face becoming flush quickly, she pushed away from the man in front of her. "Excuse me" she mumbled to him as her friend dragged her away by the arm.
A smile graced his lips as he watched the woman he desired being dragged away from him. A familar scent drifted to his nose and his smile faded instantly. Suppressing a growl he made his way to the empty dinning room. He walked up to the window and stared out into the darkness. A person entered the room and made their way over to him. When he heard them stop just behind him he spoke, "What is it pup?"
Shippo shifted nervously from one foot to the other, he didn't know how the man in front of him was going to take this news. "About that note you gave me, well I think I found out who wrote it."
Her friend came to a stop in front of Yuka and Ayumi, only then did Eri release her arm. The two other girls looked to both Kagome and Eri questioningly. The blush on Kagome's face grew brighter and she turned to walk away only to be stopped by Eri's hand on her shoulder.
"What's going on?" Ayumi asked as she looked from one friend to the other. She watched as Eri opened her mouth to speak only to close it again. She knew it was good when Kagome turned her eyes from her, her friend's finger twirling around a strand of hair. "Okay, someone better tell me something or both of you will be up there on stage singing." She smiled triumphantly when Eri put her hand up signaling she was going to speak.
"When I found Kagome, ow!" Eri turned and glared at the girl whom she was speaking of. Rubbing the sore spot she had just received from Kagome's elbow she continued, "Like I was saying, when I found her the host of the party had his arms around her. There was no room for breathing they were so close."
Kagome looked to floor when she heard her friends gasp, trying desprately to find something to take her mind off her embarrassment. She heard them whisper amongst themselves, "What about Hojo?" She needed to get away and quick. Taking advantage of them gossiping, she quickly slipped into the crowd around the girls. Making her way over to the table with the food and drink she let out a sigh.
She looked over the contents of the table, her eyes going wide from the amount and variety. 'He sure goes all out' she thought. Grabbing a plate she began picking out what she wanted to snack on. After placing as much as she possibly could on the china plate, she grabbed a crystal glass filled with a warm liquid and made her way over to a chair near by.
She took a small bite off the piece of roast beef. Nearly choking from how salty it was, she downed the contents of her glass. Frowning down at her now empty glass she got back up and started for the table for another one.
He watched her from across the room as she walked over to the table for her seventh glass of sake in the past hour. Frowning as he watched her stumble, Sesshoumaru started in her direction. Stopping about half way to her he let out a growl as he watched a familar woman walk up to Kagome.
Kirara could barely hold in her excitement as she walked up to her long lost friend. She was stopped short by a hand on her shoulder and a low growl. Turning she saw Sesshoumaru standing behind her. "What is your problem?" She said as she glared at the demon before her.
"She doesn't need to know yet." Was all he said before turning around and disappearing into the crowd.
Kagome stood up, her world swimming, and slowly made her way to the dance hall. The soft light was down low almost causing her to miss the steps and trip. A small growl escaped her lips, 'Who ever thought of putting steps there is a total baka!' Kagome looked up and found herself standing in the middle of the dance floor. 'How'd I get here?' The music reached her ears for the first time since entering the room.
A slow song flowed from the speakers set up all around the room, lulling her body into a fluid movement that matched the beat. With her eyes closed she never noticed the man walking up to her until an arm slipped around her waist. Caught up in the trance of the music, she laid her head against the person's chest. Her hands began to wander over his body, running up his chest around his shoulders, then down his back to his butt. Pulling him closer, their bodies making contact completely, she began to sway her hips back and forth erotically against him.
Hearing a moan come from the man dancing with her she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Her grey eyes met lust filled gold ones and her heart skipped a beat. A seductive smile played on her lips as she pushed harder against him, eliciting another moan from him. Kagome looked to his eyes, nervously biting her bottom lip her gaze slowly drifted down to his lips. Carefully she shifted her weight from the whole of her feet to her tiptoes. Her lips softly touched his and her eyes drifted closed once more.
Sesshoumaru nearly lost control when he felt her lips make contact with his. What kept his sanity about him was her kiss, it was so gentle, so innocent. Afraid of running her off he hesitantly opened his mouth and ran his tongue across her lips. He felt her open her mouth slowly followed by a sigh as his tongue explored her mouth. When her tongue touched his shyly it was as if electricity shot through his body. Groaning in protest when she pulled her mouth away from his he opened his eyes and looked down at her beautiful face.
Kagome looked up to the unknown person she had just kissed. Something seemed very familar about how he had kissed her. Thinking it was just her imagination she shrugged it off. "Thank you for the dance again." Her words were slightly slurred. Taking a step back from him she lost her balance. Kagome closed her eyes and waited for the impact only to feel an arm go around her waist, righting her body. Smiling at him she turned and headed towards the main room. She paused when she heard him speak.
"Miko, can I at least get your name this time?" Sesshoumaru watched as she turned back around to face him. She gave him a smile before spinning around and disappearing into the crowd. 'That's okay, Kagome. I don't know how you survived all these years, but there will be plenty of time to find that out later.'
Walking up to the man running the karaoke machine she took in a deep breath and gave him her selection. He gave her a toothy grin as he handed her the microphone and motioned for her to take the stage. Kagome swallowed hard as she stepped up on the platform, suddenly she didn't feel so comfortable with what she was doing.
Looking out across the room she noticed everyone looking at her. Her legs began to shake, breaking out into a cold sweat she took in a deep breath trying to calm herself. She closed her eyes to keep her head from spinning. Jumping slightly when the music started she opened her eyes again and looked to the small television screen in front of her. The measures of silence counted down on the screen. The first word lit up a yellow color as she opened her mouth to sing.
~ Sink into serenity
Speak in lovers' tongue
Give into delicious dreams
The future has begun
Dare to drown in pleasures found
I'm just surrendering
Cause I don't wanna miss a thing ~
As he stepped into the main room a sweet voice drifted to his ears. Looking up he saw his Kagome up on the stage singing. He watched her visibly relax and close her eyes, her body swaying gently to the music.
The first few notes had passed and she was feeling a bit more confident. Her legs were still shaking slightly, but that had no effect on how she sang. She let her eyes drift shut, pretending like she was the only one there she let herself go.
~ I'm living in slo' motion
Wish I could freeze this place in time
Everything's wide open
Now that you're here
It's unspoken
It's only the way your hand fits mine
skin on my skin
I think it's love I've fallen into ~
Ayumi, Eri and Yuka couldn't believe their eyes. They had heard someone with a beautiful voice singing and had made their way up to the karaoke platform. Yuka caught a glimpse of red and white, looking away from her friend on stage she saw the host staring at Kagome wantingly. Nudging her other two friends to gain their attention, she pointed to the host of the party.
Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome licked her lips to moisten them. Her scent filled his nose, exciting him, throwing all of his senses into overload. Unknowingly he slowly moved closer to the stage and the woman of his dreams.
~ Savouring the pure desire
The passion's come undone
with every kiss the colours change
bleeding into one
in Days gone by I'd be been wonderin'
Is this feelings gonna last?
I don't even have to ask ~
The mask she was wearing suddenly became heavy. Not thinking anything of it, she pulled at the ties binding it to her head. Taking the mask off she placed it on a speaker near the stage. She lifted her eyes and found herself staring into golden ones again. Slowly she walked towards him.
~ We're living in slo' motion
Wish I could freeze this place in time
Everything's wide open
Now that you're here
It's unspoken
It's only the way your hand fits mine
skin on my skin
I think it's love I've fallen into ~
All those years of being alone vanished when she looked into his eyes. Suddenly a realization hit him, 'She's singing to me.' Not caring who saw, he let a smile grace his lips.
She saw the smile form on his lips, her heart melted at the sight. Stopping right in front of him she sat down and grabbed his hand. All the fears she had before had slipped away the moment her hand touched his.
~ No I don't wanna miss a thing ~
It took all Shippo had not to go running to his mother. He had missed her alot over the past four hundred years. Mentaly cursing Sesshoumaru for making him wait, a growl slowly left his lips. He felt Kirara grab his hand, turning he saw the smile on his mate's face. Quirking an eyebrow at her he squeezed her hand gently.
Kirara shook her head, "Look." She pointed to the oh so familar scene in front of her. A tear slipped down her face. Reaching up she wipped it away.
Shippo followed her finger with his gaze. What he saw caused his jaw to drop. Kagome, his mother, was singing to Sesshoumaru. 'You have her back, don't screw this up.' Smiling at his thoughts, he wrapped his arm around Kirara's waist and led her out of the main room.

Kagome gave Sesshoumaru's hand a squeeze before she let go. Standing up she made her way over the the booth and handed the microphone back the the man. After grabbing her mask she turned and gave the demon with golden eyes a smile. Giving him a quick wave before wandering off to find her friends.
