~Chapter One - Stealth~

"Kagome, hurry up or we're gonna be late again!" Sango yelled as she ran up the stairs to her best friend’s tiny apartment. She rounded the corner and found a slender woman with dark auburn hair and bright cerulean eyes staring at herself in a floor length mirror. "You've been up here for over an hour, how could you possibly not be ready yet?"

 "Sorry Sango, I guess I just got lost in my thoughts again," Kagome turned from the mirror and grabbed her purse off her bed in the corner of the room, "Let's go!" Sango sighed to herself and shook her head as she followed her friend out the front door and to her car.

 The two women rode in content silence to the club that Sango's boyfriend Miroku owned. As they stepped out of Sango's car they were greeted by two of the bouncers that worked at the club. Kagome nodded a quick hello and followed her friend inside, instantly taking in the dazzling lights and loud music coming from the dance floor. Miroku gave her a brief hug, taking in her small frame before either woman noticed, "Wow Kagome, you look like you're ready for trouble tonight."

 "You don't think it's too much do you?" She laughed off his comment, self consciously running her hands down the form fitting deep red dress she wore.

 "Not a chance. Go have some fun, I'll be right over." Sango said, taking Miroku's hand and walking him over to the bar. She smacked him on the back of the head for a comment he made and Kagome couldn’t help but smile at the two. She waited patiently for a song with a familiar beat to play, joining the group of people out on the floor. Moving her hips to the music she swayed from side to side, perfectly content to dance on her own.

 Before she knew it, strong arms grasped her waist, gently so he wouldn't frighten her. She pressed her back closer to the chest dancing behind her and smirked when the arms at her waist tightened slightly, "Still a tease, little one," A husky voice whispered in her ear. She didn't turn to immediately put a face to her daring partner, instead enjoying the feel of them dancing against one another, basking in the mystery of it all.

 All too soon the song ended and she turned to look at her mysterious friend, but she was met with a solid chest. The man was taller than she thought, she hadn't minded, she enjoyed the way his black silk top conformed around the muscles in his chest. Taking her time, she boldly placed her hands on his chest, her eyes moving with her hands, until they found her way around his neck and her eyes glanced up to seek his face.

 Brilliant amber met shocked cerulean and the world around them melted. One word uttered from the woman's mouth was all that need be said, "Sesshoumaru?!"

 "Welcome home....Kagome.”
