A/N: I couldn't wait to post this story. I was trying to hold out until I was at least half way done with the second chapter but it wouldn't go ignored. I hope you enjoy my newest story.

Anyway, I basically gave you the plot to it if you read 'Two Can Play It.' It was the drama that Kagome and Sesshomaru watched together when she was sick. I did end up changing the name but the concept is still the same.

Ch. 1: Crying Over Spilled Coffee

They had done it again. They got into an argument, she ran out the apartment, he went to go get her, they got into another argument, he sweet-talked her, she fell for it, and they made up the way that they always made up.

Kagome sat at the edge of the bed holding the blanket over her exposed body. She told herself time and time again that she would not fall for Inuyasha's tricks but she always breaks her promises. She couldn't deny it, she was weak and he pointed that out to her everyday. Inuyasha didn't allow her to have freedom and he isolated her from the rest of the world. He told her that it was to keep her safe and to protect her but she didn't need protection, she was a grown woman at the age of 25. She needed a life.

She had so many reasons to leave him especially the main fact that he is half demon and she's a miko and was to never mix but she was a sucker for his cocky charms and she had a thing for demons. He could make her laugh like no other and he was the first man that she'd ever loved. She was grateful that he hasn't marked her…yet. She could still escape him but the question was when?

"Why do I even try with me being as foolish as I am, you know could never leave." She softly told the sleeping form on side of her.

The first peaks of sunlight were coming over the rooftops of the other buildings surrounding them. She decided to get on with her day and get out of bed before he woke up looking for a little morning activity like she knew he normally would.

She stood up feeling a slight pain between her legs before heading to the conjoined bathroom for a quick shower to rid her body of humiliation and frustration. After putting on some comfortable jeans and a plain light blue t-shirt, she quickly left the room. Inuyasha usually stayed sleep until noon after having make-up sex if he didn't catch her in the morning so she had a few hours to herself and she was going to take advantage of it.

Finally free, she got into her car and drove off to get some much needed coffee at her favorite coffee house not too far from where she and the hanyou stay.

Across town, a man also sat at the edge of his bed. His long silver hair cascaded down past his shoulders, down his back, and pooled in the bed. The pointed ears and markings on his face, as well as the ones on his well-sculpted body, proudly showing that he is a demon in his prime. One of his deadly clawed hands held a lit cigarette and his eyes were closed but slowly opened to reveal golden molten orbs that could rival the sun.

Sesshomaru took another drag of the cigarette then tilted his head back slightly to the sleeping form that he rutted with then turned his attention back at the window he was looking out of. She was one of his clients who came to him just for this one purpose.

Kagura was a demoness who was having problems with her marriage. Her husband, Hakudoshi, was a busy businessman and she was a needy woman. After an argument gone to far, she ran away. To where, she didn't know. She stumbled into the streets and was almost ran over but was saved by Sesshomaru. He took her to the very apartment that they were in and took care of her while she told him all about her troubles and he helped her in his…own special way.

Sesshomaru is what they call, a ladies man, he would go to women who are in need of him. Women like those with falling apart relationships because of abusive, uncaring husbands and boyfriends and help them regain their confidence. When they don't need him anymore, he would simply slip away from their lives. He told the women to not look for him once they get their bearings because it was just business but they would sometimes search for him anyway.

He was very secretive with his job though. He had a few aliases, he could change his appearance, four apartments and a condo, which was his home, three cars, two cell phones, a job in the daytime and another job as a piano player in a nightclub. It paid well since he attracted many customers, mainly women, to the club but he basically lived off the massive fortune that his father left behind before he passed. He was also paid for his 'services' with his clients and he was waiting for this client to wake so that he could get that money and get her to leave.

Kagura was starting to get on his nerves although he didn't show it. She never left him alone, always calling him to tell him that she and Hakudoshi got into another fight and looking for a little stress relief. She told him that he was working on getting a divorce but he knew that it wasn't getting done. Hakudoshi was a rich man who is always in the spotlight and she wouldn't want to give that up but their relationship was lacking the excitement, which is where Sesshomaru comes in. Not only was he outstanding in bed but he was dangerously handsome, godlike even.

Although she paid him extremely well in order to have sessions twice a week on the days that Hakudoshi wasn't to be at home, he wanted out and he planned to do so. He was just going to wait until the perfect time to do so.

Finally, he heard the rustling of the silken blankets and a soft moan that assured him that Kagura was indeed waking.

"Sessh baby, you're awake?" She said tiredly. She was one of the few women who knew his real name.

"You know I'm always awake at dawn as long as we've been messing around." He said not bothering to look at her but instead, putting the cigarette back between his lips.

He felt two long slinger arms, one over his right shoulder and the other under his left arm wrap around his bare torso. Her head laid on his back and her bare body pressed lightly against him in hopes of enticing him to pick up where they left off.

"You're smoking again, something's wrong what is it?" Kagura asked as she kissed his shoulder. She knew him well and knows that he only smoked when he was trying to get his thoughts together.

"It's nothing really, it's been a while since I had a light." She took the cigarette from between his lips and took a long drag of it, finishing off the small portion of it and disposing the bud in the dish he had placed on the bed.

"Something is wrong, are you worried that Hakudoshi will find us?"

Sesshomaru put on a smug smirk. Like that will ever happen, he was just too stealthy. If he did find out, Sesshomaru would just be able to fend for himself and put the blame on Kagura for the three years that they've been sneaking out on. After all, he makes a contract for all of his clients and for her it states that it's her fault if they were caught.

"I never worry."

"But something is on your mind." She said as she turned his head to face her and traced his markings before placing a chaste kiss on his lips.

"It's nothing that a good coffee can't fix."

"You're not telling me something I don't know and I don't like it but it's your business."

She moved away from him and over to the edge of the bed to the nightstand where she left her purse and took out a large sum of money. He took it and counted it while she dressed in different clothes that she bought with her, gave him one last kiss, then left out.

"See you Sessh baby."

He put the money in his wallet that was in his pants then stood up to get ready for the day first taking a shower mainly to rid himself of the sent of Kagura's cheep perfume and then getting dressed. He felt the need to just go comfortable and wear baggy jeans and a white polo shirt. He put on some white timberland boots and tied his hair up in a ponytail. He looked at himself in the mirror and put on his human disguise, by using a canceling spell to get rid of his marks, fangs, and claws, along with changing the color of his hair to platinum blonde instead of leaving it silver and his golden eyes to a light hazel before grabbing his keys and heading out the apartment. He made a quick pit stop at a private parking garage to switch cars. He went from a red 07 Porsche to a silver 03 Mustang then drove across town to his favorite coffee house.

Kagome was taking a long whiff of the espresso that she just ordered. She could feel her troubles lift away in the soothing warm vapor…well just a little bit anyway. She still had to go home once she was done and face her prick of a boyfriend. She just wished for some sort of sign. She turned around quickly only to bump into a solid brick wall. Her coffee slipped out of her hands and onto whatever she crashed into. She heard a sharp hiss of pain after watching the cup fall and immediately started apologizing while her eyes were glued to the stain on his shirt. This was not the sign that she was hoping for.

"Oh my gosh, I'm such a klutz, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to, I can be co clumsy sometimes I…"

Sesshomaru was glad that he chose to go casual, that stain was going to take a while to get out or at least make not noticeable anymore. It was still one of his favorite shirts.

"You need to watch where you're going." Came his deep baritone voice.

Kagome stopped her rambling, here she was being nice and apologizing for her mistake and he's rude to her?

"Hey, I said I was…sorry."

She looked at the man before her and it was over. She'd seen cute men, good looking men, and handsome men but the man in front of her was completely beautiful and he had that air around him that seem to make him glow.

"Stare and me all you like but it won't get this stain out my shirt."

Her trance was shattered as soon as he opened his mouth. He may look perfect but his attitude was all but. She scowled at him but turned to get some napkins.

Sesshomaru watched at her then said, "Now that's more-"

She threw all the napkins she had in his face. He was mad although he didn't show it. If it were just him and her alone, he would pin her against the wall and have her begging for forgiveness.

"I don't need another idiotic, pompous asshole to throw a fit with me. I told you I was sorry and I mean it but if you don't wand it then I take it back!" She said aloud as she started walking only to stop when she saw the amused look in his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitch.

He noticed this and stopped himself from smiling by saying, "So amusing."

"And what the hell, may I ask, is funny?"

"You." He said pointing to her. "I've never met a woman as amusing as you. You're moody."

"I AM NOT!" She yelled. She was breathing heavily as if she had run the marathon but looked around when she noticed the quiet that was surrounding her. All eyes were on her. Kagome's face turned red in embarrassment and he laughed a bit more at her causing her to glare at him. She looked down at the forgotten coffee cup on the floor. That was a perfect cup of coffee and she was highly upset that it was ruined.

"You shouldn't cry over spilled…coffee." He said with amusement in his tone.

"I haven't had a good cup of coffee in forever and you ruined it with your…your…big stone of a body!"

"It's not my fault that you're clumsy, I mean you did say so yourself."

Kagome didn't have a comeback this time. She did tell him that she was clumsy. She huffed and walked over to her favorite seat. Her morning proved to be horrible just like the others. She sighed before looking out the window.

She sighed at the sight of a happy couple. The man had his arm around a woman who was holding an infant in her arms. She was happy for them but at the same time, she cursed their happiness. Her attention started coming off them when the strong aroma of fresh coffee drifted into her nose. She looked where the smell was coming from only to see the guy that she ran into taking a sip of his coffee.

"You again, get your own seat I was here first."

"Well apparently I can't do that for this is my favorite seat and the owner of this coffee house usually has it reserved for me."

"Well aren't you special."

"Why yes I am."

Kagome decided to get up. Men were just starting to irk her and this particular one was pushing her over the edge. When she was about to walk away, she felt a strong hand wrap around her wrist. She automatically felt a jolt of electricity at feeling the man's touch but shook her head then turned around about to tell him off when he holds another coffee cup up for her.

"Since you say that I'm the cause for ruining your coffee, although I wasn't the clumsy one, I bought you another one but I ordered you what I order for myself."

She looked at it and then at the man the man who was holding the cup before taking it.

"Please, do sit with me."

Kagome sighed and sat back where she was. She took a sip of her coffee and melted in the rich creamy flavor that it had to offer.

"This is really good and sweet, what is it?" She asked before taking another sip.

"It's a vanilla latte topped with powdered chocolate. I have a bit of a sweet tooth when it comes to coffee." He said as he took another sip of his drink.

There was silence as the two enjoyed the feeling warm feeling that the beverage had to offer.

"So…boyfriend problems?"

Kagome froze in place, was he talking to her? "Excuse me?"

"Do you have boyfriend problems? You did say that you didn't need another idiotic, pompous asshole to throw a fit with you."

Was she that obvious or was he that good?

"How do you know I wasn't talking about my father or brother or cousin even?"

"And that's the first thing that a person does when they have been asked a question. They answer with a question trying to avoid giving an answer. You don't seem like you would curse out your father or any other family member for that matter. Then again, you could never know a person until you've walked in their shoes and even then, it's still not enough."

She's that obvious and he's that good.

"I don't have to tell you my business." Kagome said as she crossed her arms and turned her head out at the window.

He then said as he leaned forward to the table, "I suppose you don't I mean I am a random stranger who probably won't even remember what you look like when we part."

"What are you some kind of doctor?"

"No."

Kagome eyed him before drinking more of her coffee.

"But if you do want to talk to a specialist about your relationship then I have a reference on where you could go, I'm sure you would be more comfortable in a professional setting talking to a stranger than here."

Sesshomaru took a card out of his wallet and passed it over to Kagome who looked it over. It was an address to a psychology clinic.

"I'm not crazy. I'm just stressed."

"A psychologist don't examine as you put it 'crazy' people that are what institutions are for. They are there to help people solve their personal and emotional problems by giving people suggestions on ways that they can live their life for the better."

"Okay, are you sure you're not a doctor?"

Sesshomaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Yes I'm sure but try it, it can be life changing. Just call when you realize that you really do need someone to talk to."

Kagome pushed the card back to him. "Thanks but no thanks, I'll get by." Then all of a sudden, her phone rang. She took one look at it before sighing.

"Let me guess, it's the idiotic, pompous, asshole number one?"

"Looks like I've been found out, that was quick."

"So he's one of those protective, over bearing, possessive freaks and you snuck away from him."

Kagome looked at him wide eyed before saying, "Stay the hell out of my head!"

Sesshomaru just smirked before gesturing to her phone with his head and saying, "You may want to answer your phone. I can only guess that if he calls again, he'll be highly pissed."

She sighed before picking up the phone. Before she could even give the normal greeting, she was cut of by his yelling. "Where the hell are you Kagome?"

"I just went out to get some coffee." She said calmly but she was really far from calm.

"And you didn't tell me, you know I don't like it when you leave without permission..."

Kagome felt her blood boil, how dare he! "Leave without permission?! I am an adult, I can go anywhere I like!"

"You are mine so no you can't."

Now that really pissed her off. She only proved that she was just nothing but a possession to him.

"Excuse you, I…" Before she could rant anymore, Sesshomaru reached over across the table and took her phone, hanging it up in one smooth, swift motion.

Kagome's mouth was hanging for a moment because of what he did but then she pulled herself together and said, "What the hell did you do that for?"

"It would be pointless to argue with him. If you've argued over many meaningless things many times before, you'll argue over many meaningless many times after. Besides, I don't want to hear a crumbling couple argue." Sesshomaru said smoothly as he handed back her phone and finishing off his coffee. "Besides, you've caused enough of a scene when you spilled the coffee on me."

She seemed to not listen to him as she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Now he's going to be even more pissed."

"You don't need to be angry because he's angry, you'll never get anywhere." He stands up and Kagome followed his every move with her eyes, silently envying how he can move with such grace. "It's okay to give someone the cold shoulder every once in a while. You should try it."

With that, he was gone. Kagome watched in awe as he walked outside and down the sidewalk looking casual until she saw him get into a car that was parked on the shoulder of the road and zip off. She sat back in her seat and sighed, she couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to him and it seemed as if he knew her better than she had.

She thought over the last thing he said to her until her phone started ringing. She picked it up and sighed once again seeing Inuyasha's name and number show up on the display and was about to press the send button. Her finger, however, hovered over the button then moved away before setting the phone down. She smiled and took another sip of her coffee.

'He can wait, I'm going to at least finish my coffee.'
