Chapter 4

The Meeting

"Well," he said," maybe my night won't be wasted after all."

Kagome and Kamari entered Sango's home with the eyes of every man in sight on them…well on Kagome anyways. Kamari of course was happy with the attention and put her biggest brightest smile on her face.

Sango's house was a large two story house. It had 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There was of course a bar in the den along with the extra large flat screen TV, and also where most of the party seemed to be taking place at. The living room where Kagome and her daughter were at was just an area where people gathered around to talk and gossip. There were lots of pictures on the walls of her and Kagome, Kamari, Miroku and her and some of her and her family. Kagome started to walk forward to the den when she heard a squeal come from Kamari.

"Look mommy," she said with joy," there's Uncle Roku!"

Kagome looked up and indeed there was the infamous lech walking towards them. She put a smile on her face and walked forward to greet him.

"Ahh…Kagome what a sight for sore eyes," he stated giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek," looking beautiful as always. It seems like such a long time since we've last seen you."

"And it's nice to see you too Miroku," she said grinning," I take it you haven't done anything to Sango yet since your still alive."

"HAHAHAHA…I'm just dying of laughter, I keep telling you guys that my hand is cursed so it isn't my fault if it strays to any random woman's luscious behind. Sooo who is this lovely guest you've brought with you," he said smirking towards Kamari," I don't think I've ever met her before."

Kamari giggled into her palm," Uncle Roku, stop acting like such a dum dum head…it's me Kamari."

"I don't believe you…my little Kamari wasn't so big last time I saw here. HMMMM…maybe you can prove it somehow..?"

Kamari looked confused at that then she put on her serious face and stood there thinking for a few seconds until a light bulb went off over her head and she opened her mouth to say her evidence

"I know how you can know its me because I remember at that party on New Years Eve and we were in the den and I saw those magazines with those nake….hmphsmwentm..."

Miroku hurriedly covered Kamari's mouth with his hand an looked over at Kagome with fear in his eyes,"Oooo….now I remember that it is you Kamari and…ummm…your scaring me with that look Kagome….hehehehe….yea…does magazines were….ummm…sooo….OHH LOOK!,"he shouted in relief," there goes Sango. Why don't I take Kamari over to her and you can go get a drink and ….ummm….reacquaint yourself with….yea….Bye." he yelled over his shoulder running away from Kagome's heated glare.

Kagome rubbed her forehead and sighed in annoyance. She couldn't believe that Kamari had found Miroku's perverted playboy and porn magazines. She was going to kill him when there weren't any witnesses around to see.

She walked over to the bar and took a seat on a stool next to a random guy and ordered herself a Corona to relax her mind a little. She turned in the stool to view the guest of the party and tried to pick out which one would be Miroku's friend she was supposed to meet.

'Let's see…..there's the guy who hit on me at the New Years party…the guy who was feeling me up at the Christmas party…O I have to say hi to Ami later….hmmm…the weirdo Naraku…a random guy with silver hair….wait….NARAKU!.'

She quickly turned around in her stool and started to silently pray to God that he didn't see her. She still remembered the time when she had first met him and the few dates she had forced herself to go on with him.

'Ohhh….I hope he didn't see me. He would have been over here by now if he had seen me so I guess the coast is cle…'

"Well….if it isn't the beautiful Kagome. It's been quite some time since we have last seen each other hasn't it hmmm…"a sickly sly voiced sounded next to where she was seated.

Forcing a smile on her face Kagome turned around slowly to meet the gaze of one of the two men she hoped never to see again." Naraku…how lovely it is to see you…again...I thought you had moved out of town for a promotion." Or at least so I was told by a certain best friend…

"Well yes I did move out of a while but now I'm back and ready to take what rightfully belongs to me…and I think we know what that is." He said with an evil smirk on his thin lips.

Kagome took a good look at Naraku then. He had long wavy, oily looking black hair pulled into a loose ponytail. There was what seemed to be purple eye shadow on his eye. His skin was pale and pasty looking and he was wearing a red polo with white slacks over his legs.

'…what made me agree to go out with him in the first place anyways….oh yea…my so called best friend…'

Flashback

"Come on Kagome…he's a really nice guy and not to mention good looking and might I add…rich" Sango pleaded with her best friend to go on a date with a co worker at he job.

"I don't think so Sango," Kagome was trying to weasel her way out of another of Sango's hook Kagome up with a guy so she can get hitched schemes which never worked out in the end." The last time I went on a date with one of you 'good looking' co workers they had to call and ambulance to get the guy in the end. And besides…I have Kamari and I can't just go and start dating random guys."

"You have to trust me on this one though….he really is a nice guy…pleeeeeeeaaassseee…"Sango pleaded with big puppy dog eyes and pouted lips.

"Well…just this once Sango…and if this one doesn't work out that means no more of your blind dates…are you listening to me?"

"Yea yea…now let's go raid your closet for an outfit for the date…."

End Flashback

'Good looking my ass'….Kagomethought as she tuned back into what Naraku was saying to her.

"…so I was thinking that we could maybe get together this Saturday and get something to eat and …you know…reminisce about old times…"

Kagome got a panicked look in her eye and quickly tried to think of a way to get out of the date.

"Ummm…. I don't think the Saturday or any other day will work…because…ummmm…you see while you were away I ended up…ummm…," Kagome grabbed the nearest guy to her and hugged his arm and smiling at Naraku said," You see I got a new boyfriend and we are going strong and I can't go out with you…sorry."

She opened her eyes to see Naraku glaring at whoever it was whose arm you were holding." I see…and your boyfriends name is…."

Panicking she looked up at the guy she was hanging onto and gave the best pleading look she possibly could to him…

The guy sighed and muttered what sounded like troublesome wench to her and said," It's Inuyasha…nice to meet you I guess."

"Well Inuyasha…since you and Kagome seem so cozy together I guess I will take my leave now…hopefully we will meet again….soon…" he gave a fake smile and turned on his heel and walked away.

Kagome let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding." Well thank God that's over with. Now I don't have to worry about him for the rest of the night." She glanced at the guy she had dragged over and taking a sip of her Corona said," Thanks for the help…but you can leave now…Inuyanso was it. Have a good night."

"It's Inuyasha and I don't think that your going to be able to get rid of me that easily….girlfriend…" Inuyasha said giving his cockiest smirk to girl now looking up at him in confusion at his words.
