Sesshomaru growled. What was he doing here again? Oh right, his father had for some reason decided to hold the annual company meeting in Las Vegas. Why out of the other possible locations his father had picked Vegas he didn't know. Sesshomaru felt a gentle hand on his arm, as looked into the eyes of his courted. He felt himself calming, as Kagome leaned over and kissed his lips softly.

"Don't worry Sesshomaru. It's only a business meeting" she said softly. The taiyoukai felt his body relax. She was right, what could possibly go wrong in a business meeting?

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Inu-Taisho sighed. This was not good. Not good at all. As he waited for the CEO's of the Taisho corp. (Original I know) to arrive he thought about the best way to explain about the situation. Typically it was his son to arrive first, the eight other CEO's followed him in quick succession. Inu-Taisho could already feel a head ache coming. He began the meeting.

"As you know we have been trying to merge with Kamikaze corp." the older inu began, "They have agreed to merge with us........ On one condition" he said. Inu-Taisho watched as his sons amber eyes narrowed.

Sesshomaru had a feeling that he wouldn't like this condition. His father continued "Kamikaze is fun loving company; they believe that we are too serious and uptight to be a successful business with. So they said that If someone from the CEO would participate in a......... show then we would have a merger" the elder Taisho said.

Inu-Taisho pulled out a bag. "The good news s that only three out of the nine of you need to participate. Inside this bag there are nine coloured balls." He paused before continuing "Six blue three green. If you pull out a blue ball then you don't have to participate. Those of you who pull out a green ball, well your outfits have already been selected." He finished.

Sesshomaru bit back a growl. He didn't like this at all. "You said nine balls. Aren't you going to participate in the draw father?" Sesshomaru growled.
Inu-Taisho sweated slightly he had hoped that no-one would draw attention to this fact.

"Well, as spokes person I felt that I had already done my part" he stated.

"No way" Koga snapped, "You have to pull out a ball to boss."

"But there are only nine balls so I cannot......" Inu-Taisho began. He was interrupted by a knock on the door, Jakotsu, breezing in.

"Inu-Papa" he cried, "What do you want done with the rest of these?" he asked perkily, producing a small bags of coloured balls.

"Well father that problem seems to have been solved" Sesshomaru said dryly. Inu-Taisho swallowed, this was not going to plan at all.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Inuyasha swore he had lost a bet with Koga. Now he couldn't go till the Casinos, till he either sold one hundred pairs of undies, or till he sold one thousand dollars worth of under pants. His life wouldn't get much worse.
"Enjoying yourself Inuyasha?" a familiar voice called. Cursing once more Inuyasha turned into the smirking face of Hiten.

"Whaddya want?" he snapped.

"Temper, temper Inuyasha." Hiten said, "You still here? How many pairs have you sold?" he questioned.

Inuyasha scowled, and bit out "none of your business." The thunder demon looked at him pityingly.

"How about a bet my puppy eared friend" he asked conspiratorially.
Inuyasha looked at him suspiciously.

"What's the bet?" he asked finally.

Hiten gave a cat like smile, as he replied "If I can sell on pair of underpants that is one thousand dollars or higher, you have to be Jakotsu pet puppy for a week."

Inuyasha blanched "Keh. No-way!"

Hiten's Smile didn't falter. "If I lose I have to finish your lost bet with Koga, and be yours and Kikyo's servant for a week" he said.

"Deal, but you have to sell the underpants before 1 am today" Inuyasha said before he had thought things through.

"Excellent" Hiten said. He left Inuyasha, he had plenty of time, it was only 8:05 pm. Now it was time for some major payback. He would show Sesshomaru for putting sand in his pants. True they had been preschool age but hey he vowed revenge.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sesshomaru felt his eyebrows twitching. Three out of ten and he still had somehow managed to land a green ball. Now here he was dresses in a red showgirls outfit, with a huge feathered matching boa on his head. His only compensation was that, his father was in an identical purple outfit and Koga in pink. Each demon had grabbed the cloth covered bag at random, Koga swearing when he saw the pink costume.

There was now way his night could get worse.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sesshomaru returned to his and Kagome's room. This had to be the worst day of his entire existence. Oh well as the wolf said "What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas".

Kagome looked up from the bed and flashed him a beautiful, smile, causing his stress levels to drop dramatically. Giving a long sigh Sesshomaru sat next to her on the bed and switched the channel to the news. He ignored her scowl. He was just in time to catch the last of the word news, and listened to what the News presenter had to say.

"........................ in other news, the well known TV producer Hiten sold a pair of under pants today belonging to the former most eligible bachelor Sesshomaru Taisho. Hiten says that he held the auction as bet made with long time friend Inuyasha Taisho. The pair of underpants sold for a little over one million dollars. Hiten insists that all the money will go to charity. Hiten says the money will be going to improve hospitals."

The news host paused before continuing "We have just received a video online, which has to be seen to believed."

Kagome blinked and focused on the TV as the screen then cut to a video of three show girls dancing the Can-Can. The middle girl was in purple, and had a girl in red and pink on either side of her. Kagome blinked as she focused on their faces. The priestess felt her jaw drop, rubbing her eyes. There was no way that that was Sesshomaru in the red outfit.

Sesshomaru snarled. Not only had he had to gallivant about in that ridiculous outfit. It was filmed and shown on the news?!Not only that he had also lost a pair of his underwear to a bet he had no part of?! Ridiculous! The underwear itself was unimportant; it was just the fact it was publicized as his. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes one more time for the day.

Hiten would pay...... As well as a certain puppy eared half demon.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Somewhere else in the hotel, Inuyasha swallowed. He was dead.

Not only would he have to complete the bet with Koga, but he would also have to pay his debt to Hiten. He quickly turned of the TV not wanting to hear anymore about the charity the money was going to. Inuyasha paled as another thought hit him. He hoped that Kikyo didn't mind being a widow. Sesshomaru was going to kill him slowly when he found out that he had made the bet with Hiten.
