"Looks this way! Just like that!" the director intoned for her as she clicked her device again and again, moving from side to side to take the best pictures while they continued to change their clothing. The best photos of her carrier were done like this, not while standing in front of a white paper like the usual photographers did.
"Come on, Kagome-chan! Could you please stop doing that? You know how embarrassing this is?" the beautiful red head actress Ayume laughed, blushing towards the energetic brunette as the last one took yet another photo of a half dressed wolf demon.
"No, I don't! And you will thank me later!" Kagome laughed, spinning around, her sixth sense kicking into gear, just in time to immortalize the shaking pair of the wolf demoness, Kouga.
Water dripped off of his muscular chest as he tried to dry himself off in the most basic of ways: by shaking like a wet puppy. Giggling when she noticed his puffing cheeks, the mahogany haired priestess rushed passed his mate in an attempt to get herself and her camera somewhere safe. Nothing chased her though as she managed to get into her director's office, her nibble hands unclasping the full role of the film and sliding it into a special sock-like thing and handing it to her director with a smile.
"I am done for today, sir. I really need to get going! I have some urgent business and..." she babbled as she grabbed her purse, her photo bag and the special cake she had bought for the demon doctor right before her boss could say anything.
"Wait a second, Higurashi! Where are you going? You haven't said a thing about your cousin's absence." The tall, black haired hanyo male stood up, his height towering over the petite girl's stature.
"If I got it right... She's pregnant with Inuyasha's child!" Kagome smiled as cobalt eyes narrowed at her dangerously, his head tilting to the side as he analyzed her. "What? I'm telling the truth, Bankotsu!" Kagome puffed her cheeks, adjusting her huge glasses as she looked to the side.
"Yes, yes... Ok! You might as well go!" the tanned figure smiled deviously in her direction, the usually perky half-human resting his muscular form on the edge and not doing anything to stop her.
Frowning, expecting him to jump at her when she would turn her back on him, Kagome took two steps to the side, her eyes trained on him, her face scrunched up in worry. If her boss was going to come with her today, her plan of going to Sesshomaru's hospital, finding him and then thanking him for helping the stupid duo was going to go down the drain. Bankotsu had the nasty ability to drive anyone nuts or, in Inuyasha's case, angry beyond the breaking point. Only she knew how many times she had to rescue one of the two from the other's claws. Almost crouching down as she grabbed the doorknob, Kagome eyed the still smiling brunette that had crossed his arms on his chest, his muscles almost ripping through the fine fabric, and rushed before he could stop her, her bags hugged to tightly against her chest that it hurt.
Gasping for breath as she reached her car, her heart almost stopped when he saw the figure that she knew will ruin her day, leaning against a black car, the same disturbingly pleasant smile upturning his mouth. Mumbling something to herself, knowing that her boss didn't possess Inuyasha's ability of hearing her, Kagome dragged her feet towards him.
"And? Were are we going?" he asked, smirking at her, his face descending so that he could look straight into her eyes, their noses almost touching.
"Tashio hospital..." she huffed, biting her lip and looking away.
There was no escaping this man once he wanted something. If he was going to find out where she was going might as well let him take her there. She knew better than to start a war against the much more powerful man. Plus, she liked her job even if she had this obnoxious boss included in the deal.
"Then let's go!" he laughed, walking to the driver's seat, not looking around to see if she was going to get in or not.
A deep sigh left her body as she reached for the car door, her eyes darkening a shade or two. Fate was a cruel mistress sometimes. And all she wanted was to go there, bask in his youki for a few minutes, drink his sight and get drunk by it and then leave as a happy woman. And maybe go see him from time to time. But now, something told her that she wasn't even going to be able to reach him because of the annoying hanyo that kept pestering her. And to think that he was only two years older than her. Had the guy never grown up or was he like this only because it was her on the receiving end? Getting in before he could start throwing tantrums, Kagome buckled up and kept her sight on the outside world as he drove the longest thirty minutes of her life towards Tashio Hospital, his mouth never stopping a second on the way there.
-Meanwhile –
Papers, papers and yet again papers. Bureaucracy was going to be the end of him and this hospital one day. Half of the time he was buried under papers while the other half he had to operate or train other students. Even if he had meticulously planned everything so that other doctors could tend to the young generation's needs, he still didn't have enough time for the damn papers. And on top of that, even if he had slept like a baby all through morning, he was still tired as hell and his beast continued to pop up images from his dream when he least expected it.
Growling as a nurse came in holding another stack of papers, this time from his father's company, Sesshomaru huffed a sigh as she rushed out of the room before he could open his mouth and scare her with one of his famous death-related lines. Yes, he was having a bad day and everyone in the hospital knew this. He needed some time alone, maybe filled with sleep, but he for surely didn't need to hear his brother's voice yelling for him to come and be by his mate's side in a preferential manner, this specific something happening right now.
"Oi! You bastard! Come here right now, you ice prick! Kikyo is feelin' worse again, so move your useless butt here an'..." the loud-mouthed hanyo stomped his feet towards his brother's cabinet, angry that his so called half-brother had yet to come and aid his mate.
But before he could finish his string of insult, Sesshomaru came rushing out of said room, his stretched arm clasping the stupid whelp around the neck, hoisting his useless body from the ground, red eyes piercing throw wide, golden ones. Snarling, his patience at its end, the stronger of the two brothers threw the smaller one across the room.
"You will stop your stupid rambling, whelp and you will let this one's assigned doctors take care of that pathetic excuse of a mate of yours. This Sesshomaru doesn't have time to deal with your insufferable stupidity." His deep, threatening growls made their way towards the twitching form of the puppy-eared male as the smaller inu barely managed to get up from his battered spot against the wall.
"Oh? What a scary doctor!" the sudden interruption from a different guy made the icy stare Sesshomaru was throwing towards Inuyasha change directions to the newcomer.
"Beat it." Sesshomaru growled again, his eyes narrowing as his nose picked up the alluring smell of the petite girl that still lurked around his mind.
Just as the black haired hanyo opened his mouth to again add something that would have provoked the already angry Sesshomaru to new heights and probably end his life with a swipe of said demon's deadly claws, even if it was against policy and Sesshomaru knew better than to beat him up, the mahogany haired priestess that had offered to clean after her cousin's mess last night popped up next to the latest annoyances arm, her beautiful eyes moving from male to male. Standing up as straight as he could, Sesshomaru tried to calm himself, her presence here making him vaguely curious.
"Kagome! Why didn't you tell me that you had such nice friends in the person of head-doctor Sesshomaru Tashio and vice-executive director Inuyasha Tashio? Well... the stupid hanyo I knew already, but this one? Oh, Kagome...Why haven't you informed your boss about this?" his affected tone rose and fell with every words, the tai's nerves once again on the edge.
But before he could do something that he would lately regret, a loud slap echoed through the large hall, the nurses that had stood and watched as the brother's once again quarreled gasping in shock. Kagome huffed, anger written all over her face, her palm red but not as red as the brunette's cheek, his stunned expression making Sesshomaru feel better. This little woman knew how to hold her own!
"You!" she pointed at Inuyasha who, once again, opened his mouth to continue his fight. "You go stand with Kikyo and keep your mouth shut!" her hiss made the hanyo jump in his place, his mouth hanging agape. "Now you!" her small growl made the tai youkai smirk as she turned around to face her boss. "You will leave this place or go annoy Inuyasha! I don't care what you do as long as you don't stand in their way! Having a fight in hospital grounds is definitely prohibited from now on! I don't care who you think you are Bankotsu, but you better behave!" she continued, her small finger pocking the bigger male straight in the chest as her eyes narrowed, her powers going wild around her.
With a quick shove she made the tanned youkai take a few steps towards the stairs the had just climbed towards the fifth flour. Moving her bright eyes from one male towards the other, she slowly turned around to growl at the smirking tai, taking him by surprise.
"And you!" she pointed towards him, stomping her little feet wards his unmoving form, in an almost threatening way. "I have to talk to you, so you better get in that office." Her tone changed, a blush flaring up her cheeks as she grabbed his sleeve, tugging him towards the still opened door.
Unable to do anything but to fallow her, his anger forgotten as peace finally established itself on the last floor of the biggest hospital in Japan, Sesshomaru closed the door behind them as she plopped herself on the chair that was so conveniently right next to his desk, her petite form decreasing further as she tried to make herself invisible to him.
"I am sorry..." she whispered, hiding her face in her palms as he took his seat across from her, his eyes closing as he relaxed, basking in the smell of her.
"You do not need to apologizes. This one knows that he has lost his temper. I want to thank you for distracting me and for putting things back to normal." His voice went down, vibrating through the room as he felt her shiver, her arousal spiking.
"Yo-you are thanking me? " her voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes almost outgrowing the hideous glasses she wore.
"Yes." His monosyllabic response made her blush even harder as she looked straight at her feet, avoiding his amused gaze.
"So? Why have you come to this one? Do you accuse of any pain?" he couldn't suppress the urge to ask, his body leaning further on his black desk, papers forgotten as he sniffed the air around her.
"N-no! I am completely fine... Just that... I wanted to properly thank you for last night and I didn't know what I should do so..." she gulped down a breath, her whole face now red with embarrassment.
'You could bring yourself naked... maybe with a ribbon... and let me take you on every flat surface in my home...' his traitorous mind continued her words, Sesshomaru's eyes widening when he felt the evident bulge in his pants grow bigger with every words the little miko said.
"I can think of something you can do for this one while your cousin is in my care." Sesshomaru bit out the urge to just take her right there, the need surprising even him.
"Wh-what?" Kagome asked, her eyes sparkling at the knowledge that she will be able to see the tai again.
"You could become my personal assistant and do what I find boring to do." His monotone response made her blink twice, the warm tone he had showered over her minutes ago completely gone.
"Ok... If this is what you really want." She smiled. Hey! At least she could be near him.
'No.. This is not what I want, but I can't simply jump on you right now and fuck the daylights out of you and then take you home for another round!' his mind mumbled in a sarcastic tone, which he of course beat to the ends of his soul.
Getting up, arranging his white coat so that she couldn't see the sudden urge he had, the stoic mask in place, Sesshomaru guided her towards his door, thinking of something to say. This was a first for him: he was at a lost for words. This girl had him tongue tied.
"Can I... can I bring you home cooked meals from time to time?" her sudden burst made him look down at in surprise, her beautiful eyes making him forget where he was or what she had asked him.
"Yes. I think this will only be a start." He smiled at her, something that he usually never did in a female's presence.
He had smiled! God, if you could hear her and not take her away right then, he had smiled! And at her! Clutching her heart, suddenly feeling weak in the knees Kagome would have kissed the ground at her feet if a pair of strong arms wouldn't have caught her.
"And you said you are feeling alright." His rumbling voce met hear back more than her ears as his hot breath tickled her ear, his face so close to hers that she could actually touch him if she wanted.
"I... I was.. Until you smiled." She mumbled, her face hot as he picked her up and put her down on the desk, his face once more close to hers.
"Is this one's smile that deadly?" he asked, frowning and a bit confused.
"No!" she negated, shaking her head violently, his hands keeping her on his desk as she almost toppled over. "It's just that... It's too dazzling..." she whispered, slapping herself mentally for saying something so embarrassing.
Blinking at her, his ego inflating if it wasn't big enough already, Sesshomaru inched closer to her face, watching her reaction as he closed in for a kiss. This human girl, even if she was a mortal being, was drawing out things he thought didn't exist in him. Humming to himself when he saw that she wasn't backing away but was just staring at him, the silver headed doctor captured her lips in a gentle kiss.
When his lips molded with hers in a perfect dance, Kagome could have died a happy virgin right then. Sure, she had just met the guy, but he wasn't a complete stranger. Sure, this was the longest conversation she had ever had with him, but she couldn't deny the fact that there was surely something that was drawing them together. So all she had to do is to kiss him back. And she did, her mind going blank, the only thought being that she was envious of his soft lips.
Praying away from her, though he immediately realized what he had done, Sesshomaru only felt the desire to dive in again and kiss her more fully. But that had to wait. He couldn't still comprehend why he had done such a thing when he barely knew the girl, but that was besides the point.
"This is your treatment for now. " his smirk made her gulp down her words, the quite bitter taste that remained in her mouth from the disappointment she felt when he didn't continue filling her mouth.
Puffing her cheeks but smiling at him non-the-less, her cheeks still hot, Kagome jumped off the desk with his help, grabbed her bag and her purse and walked to the door, the beautiful male taking his rightful place.
"I-I left you some cake. I didn't know what you liked to eat so I just picked that cherry fondue." She bowed, her hand clasping the door knob.
"Rather than sweets, could you leave your phone number? Remember: you are this Sesshomaru's caretaker until your cousin is no longer my problem." His voice went down to its chilly notes again as she shivered.
Huffing, cursing her fate for troublesome guys, even if this one seemed to be the only guy for her, the young priestess glared at the black phone he threw her and then looked back at his busy face. Tapping in her number with her whole name adding as a reference a little 'nickname', she gently slid it towards him. Battling her eyelashes in a weird fashion, she smiled, exited the room and out she was, a wicked smile on her face.
Opening one eye as she finally disappeared, his erection straining against his slacks, Sesshomaru searched for her number, his eyes widening, a smirk adorning his lips, as he closed his phone again.
'So you want to be my mistress, Kagome?' he laughed in his head, as he remembered the weird nickname she was so proud of putting. Well, he wasn't going to deny her that. Not right now at least.
She was a fierce and passionate woman, dedicated to whatever her cause was, with a pure heart full of only love. How he knew that? From his father's continuous rambling when he would have the misfortune of going after her to his parent's house. The hanyo had mated the wrong human, his father had always told him, but the older pup couldn't bring himself to agree with his sire completely. If the idiot had mated Kagome, then he couldn't have the pleasure of having her all to himself.
A wicked idea crossed his mind as he opened his phone and mailed her.
'Tonight you will cook for this one.' He smirked, closing his phone, only to jump out of his skin when her reply came.
"Ok. Do you have any specific desires?" he read, his mind playing dirty tricks on him again.
Tapping a negative answer, the tai waited for another response that didn't come too late.
"Then I shall surprise you. You are in charge of the drinks though." He could actually taste her bubbly laughter in the few words she wrote him back.
Smiling softly, shaking his head, Sesshomaru resumed his work in a total better mood than he had that day or that past week for that mater. Funny what games fate could play, especially when they made him feel whole again.
