Sesshoumaru's Secret

Chapter Thirty-One

"Sango, darling, it is you!"

Both girls turned towards the loud voice, and Kagome had to blink at the beautiful drag Queen waving at them in front of a beauty salon. Looking around for the first time, she asked "Uh, where are we?"

"Shinjuku District." Sango replied, her eyes on the figure still waving at them emphatically from down the block.

Shinjuku District, or Nichō, as it was called, was known as Tokyo's gay district. Blushing slightly, Kagome turned back towards the Queen just as her massive arms scooped up both girls at once and lifted them both off the ground in a breath-stealing bear hug. "It's about time you two got here! I almost scratched your appointment off the books! And after all the trouble I went through to rearrange everything for you girls."

Kagome narrowed her eyes at Sango. "I thought this had been spur of the moment?"

Sango smiled slightly at Kagome. "It was. Auntie is family, and she made an exception for me."

"Yes, and it's just as bad as you said. Girl, what have you been doing?" Auntie frowned at Kagome, reaching out to grab a handful of hair and ran her fingers through it. "Hm. Well, it's not as bad as it looks, but you were definitely in need of an intervention! Come inside girls and let Auntie work her magic!"

As they were ushered into the salon, Kagome leaned towards Sango, gently bumping shoulders with her as she whispered, "You willtell me what's going on… won't you?"

Sango sighed and bumped shoulders back. "Yes. Promise."
