"Ah!" Kagome gasped. "Um, yeah! I'm over here!" she scrambled from underneath Sesshoumaru and yanked her bra up. She skidded past a birdbath and came from behind some small bushes.
Kagome pulled the strings on the corset to tighten them before she remembered she couldn't tie it by herself. "Where? I can't find you!"
"If you went to the birdbath, you went too far. Hurry up, Sota! I need help tying my dress. This stupid branch snagged it and it came undone," Kagome yelled, forming her lies early.
"Oh I found you. Here, turn around and I'll fix it for you while you explain why you're back here," Sota said, coming into the clearing.
Kagome did as instructed and began explaining herself; "It was too loud in there so I came to lay down for a while. Guess I dosed off and I was on my way back in I ran into a baby tree and then you found me."
"Sounds like something you would do," Sota agreed, sounding far off. "Hey, I've been talking to some of your frien- some of your old friends and they've brought something big to my attention."
"What would that be?" Kagome said, fearing the worst.
"Kagome," Sota spun her around to face him. "You need a boyfriend to make you happy."
'Well, I certainly was happy until you interrupted me,' Kagome grumbled in her head. "Really?"
"I'm not really sure who, but I completely agree with them. I'm now a man on a mission: Kagome-san, I'm gonna get you a man!"
"And what about a demon?"
That caught Sota utterly off guard, as he stumbled to find his words. "Do you really think another demon would be good for you?" he looked into her eyes and even in the dim lighting he could see something that he hadn't seen there in ages. Defiance. "Actually, I think anyone would be great. Yeah, dandy."
"If you need me big brother, I'll be in the party room. I feel like... dancing."
Sota stood there dumbfounded, pondering what had just happened. 'Maybe she actually is bi-polar; I've never heard of anyone being depressed for months and then suddenly giddy. In a matter of minutes!' He caught up with her when he heard the glass door to the house slam shut.
Sesshoumaru walked into the clearing, fully dressed, watching them leave. He ran a hand through his silky silver hair, remembering how it felt to have that Lady's fingers twisting in his hair. Until that boy interrupted them. Sesshoumaru grimaced at his thoughts. 'Who the heck was she and how the heck did she know me?' "Ah, how I hate what this lust does to me," he smirked letting his claws elongate and destroy the nearest trees.
In the shadows, two beady eyes glared at the scene before them. "Mine."

"Hey guys! What's up?" the three girls jumped about a foot into the air before spinning around on their heels with unheard of speed.
"Kagome? Oh my gosh, are you drunk?!" Priscilla swooned.
Kagome opened her mouth to laugh and took notice that they flinched until they heard her musical laugh engulf them like it hadn't for longer than they cared to count. "Wow, peoples lighten up! It looks like you've seen a ghost!" in mocking motion, she slowly checked behind her then spun back around smiling proud, "Nope! No ghost or ghoul."
"Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're back! We have so got to fill you in: I mean have you heard what Kikyou did? The nerve some of the sluts at this school have," Sasha said, pecking her newest boyfriend on the cheek and telling him to hold on, she would be right back.
Kagome skimmed around the people in the group surrounding her, between Sasha and Shisshi she saw the white suit and long cascading sliver hair that belonged to Sesshoumaru and she smiled just a little more.
Sasha caught Kagome's smile, which before was shut shy of her eyes, but now it spread throughout her entire body. She glanced behind her but saw no one except Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Miroku, and that new boy. Every one of them was old news, well except the new boy, but he was nothing special; so who was she grinning at? 'Oh I swear, Kagome! Don't you have any class at all? Its all about the fresh meat!'
Latching her arm onto Kagome's and Shisshi's arm, she nodded to Priscilla and lead them away. "Ooh Kagome! Did you see the way that new boy was staring at you?"
"Who? Naraku? I hadn't seen him come in," Kagome shrugged.
Shisshi growled lowly, trying not to step up, "You didn't see anything until you went outside. What made you change so much anyway?"
"Yeah doll, what was it?" Priscilla added, not catching the hint of malace in her friend’s voice.
"Hmm, I don't know," Kagome mumbled.
"You should totally hook up with him!" Priscilla and Sasha excitedly said in union.
"Who?" she asked feeling lazy.
The two girls look at each other as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Naraku!"
"He doesn't like her!" Shisshi hissed, her voice dripping with venom. She turned on her heel and walked over to Naraku, as if to prove a point, and stopped mere inches from his face.
The group looked at each other in confusion and followed behind several feet. An unknown pull called to Kagome, and she stood the closet to Shisshi and Naraku.
"Naraku, honey, you look so handsome tonight," she gushed with her voice soaked in trailer park trash seductiveness. ((A/N: If you live in a trailer park, I don't mean you I mean the prostitutes that sell their bodies to keep the trailer. Unless you're like them, then sorry I don't look at you with much respect anyway.)) "Don't you think I look pretty, too?"
Naraku glimpsed down with anything but lust in his eyes. If something was to be found there, it was detest. "I think..." he seemed deep in thought. "Kagome is actually the one that steals the spotlight light," he concluded with a sincere smile in her direction.
"Hate to say we told you so... actually I love it so: we told you so!" Sasha whispered giddy.
and you didn't return the feelings?
