Chapter 2 - Dinner


Never waste jealousy on a real man: it is the imaginary man that supplants us all in the long run. ~ George Bernard Shaw


Soon after Nami returned from dropping Akahana off and was dressed, she and Sesshomaru headed out to the restaurant Renji had told her. Stepping out of the car when they arrived, they made their way into the establishment.

"Hello," the hostess said when they stepped forward. "Welcome to Kelly's. Are you here under reservation?"

'Yes," Nami said, "Nakamaura."

As the hostess skimmed the reservation list, Nami and Sesshomaru looked around. The restaurant was very elegant, which meant that Renji had taste.

"Ah here we are," the hostess said suddenly, "follow me. The other guest is already here."

She walked from behind the hostess stand grabbing two menus; she led then to the table. As they were walking, Nami could see Renji waiting, twirling his cell phone around the table. When they arrived at the spot, Renji looked up and smiled. As they were sitting down, Nami began the introductions.

"Sesshomaru, this is Renji Nakamaura. Renji, this is my husband Sesshomaru Takahashi," Nami said pointing to said person.

Renji stared at Sesshomaru, his eyes burning with hatred for the former taiyoukai. Sesshomaru countered his gaze with his signature ice cold stare. He wasn't called the 'Ice Prince' for nothing. Nami looked at her husband, confusion clouding her eyes. Sesshomaru shook his head answering her silent question. No he wasn't upset, he was LIVID. It was on whenever Nami was to excuse herself. Sesshomaru was going to let this Renji fellow have it!

"A pleasure to meet you," Renji said shaking his hand, gripping it to the point of breaking. "I've heard a bit about you."

"Likewise," Sesshomaru said, his grip around Renji's hand much tighter, crushing the bones beneath the flesh, "Though nothing about you has come to my attention."

When they released the handshake and pulled back, Sesshomaru glanced over at Nami giving her a sharp look. Nami huffed and quirked an eyebrow in response then followed his gaze to Renji. Noticing the glare he was sending to Sesshomaru, Nami turned to him again and nodded in understanding.

"So Renji," Sesshomaru started sparking a conversation, "what do you do for work?"

"I actually don't work," Renji said, "I'm a trust fund baby."

"I see," Sesshomaru said half rolling his eyes.

Ebisu - Lazy jackass

Sesshomaru - Agreed

"And what about you Mr. Takahashi?" Renji asked. "What is your occupation?"

"Brain surgeon," Sesshomaru answered flatly. "I've been one for the last 100 years."

Renji swallowed his spit and nodded. Before he could say anything else, the waitress came.

"Hello everyone," the young woman said. "What can I get you all tonight?"

Nami looked through the menu then up at the waitress. "I'll have the 13oz Sirloin Steak with a baked cheese stuffed potato, and a side of mixed vegetables."

"I'll have the same," Sesshomaru said glancing over at the waitress.

"I'll have the special," Renji said closing his menu and handing it over to the young girl.

"Alright," the waitress said writing it down then taking the menus, "what can I get you all to drink?"

"Coke and Rye," Sesshomaru said sparing a side glance.

"I'll have an Apple Martini," Nami said smiling at the young woman.

"A regular Jack will do," Renji said.

"Alright," she said again, "I'll be right back with your drinks."

The young waitress walked away after smiling at Renji and the table became deathly quiet again. Nami sat looking at her BlackBerry screen. Sesshomaru and Renji stared holes into each other's heads. Then Nami looked up drawing the guys attention. The buzzing of her phone caught their attention as well.

"I'll be right back," she said standing and walking away while answering her phone.

Sesshomaru waited until she was out of sight before turning back to Renji, fire burning in his amber coloured eyes.

"What are you planning," Sesshomaru hissed.

"Nami will be mine, Mr. Takahashi," Renji seethed. "I assure you she will, even if I have to kill you to do it."

Ebisu - My ass if she will you lazy son of a bitch. Kill him.

Sesshomaru - I will.

"We shall see," Sesshomaru said leaning back in his seat. "But I don't think that you would get too far with Nami. She'd kill you for killing me. That is, if you can do so."

"Like you said," Renji retorted, acid coating his words, "we shall see.

Nami returned a few minutes later and the entire atmosphere changed. As she sat, she glanced over at Sesshomaru who was scowling so hard, it looked like his face was hurting. Quirking an eyebrow, she cleared her throat.

"Sesshomaru dear," Nami said breaking the silence, "Akahana said goodnight."

His face went from sour to sweet with the mention of his little girl. Nami smiled at the transition then placed her hands on the table.

"So Renji," Nami said sparking a conversation, "what have you been up to these last 200 years?"

"Nothing really, just traveling," Renji said shrugging, "How about you, other than your business."

"Family," she said glancing over at Sesshomaru who still had a scowl adorned on his face, "and taking care of my business."

"I see," Renji said, "and how is that going?"

"Very well actually," Nami said. "I just opened another branch."

"I see," Renji said nodding his head, "that's nice."

Sesshomaru was about to say something when the waitress returned with their drinks in her hands. Sitting them in front of the rightful owner, she smiled when she stopped at Renji. When she left again, Sesshomaru picked up his drink and put it to his lips. Swallowing a sip, he then placed the glass back on the table and looked at Renji.

"So how did you two meet?" Renji asked, his eyes training on Sesshomaru, boring holes into him.

"We met due to my niece and step-daughter becoming friends." Nami said as her small hand reached over and grabbed Sesshomaru's, giving it a light squeeze.

"How sweet," Renji said, his voice coated in false sugariness.

"Hn," was Sesshomaru's only response, annoyance hinting in his features.

The waitress returned moments later with their food placing each plate in front of the one who ordered it.

"Here you are folks," she said placing their cutlery beside their plates.

"Thank you," Nami said giving the girl a soft smile.

"You're welcome," she said smiling back, "is there anything else I do for y'all?"

"Can I get a refill on all the drinks?" Renji said moving his glass over.

"Of course," the young woman said taking their glasses.

As she was walking away, she shot a quick smile back at Renji then disappeared around the corner.

"I think she likes you," Nami said taking a bite of her food.

Ebisu - Good, he can have her! Nami is OFF LIMITS!

Sesshomaru - Agreed.

"You think so," Renji asked taking a bite of the curry he had been served.

"Renji it was blatantly obvious," Nami said rolling her eyes. "She kept smiling directly at you."

The waitress returned a few minutes later and sat the drinks down in front of them. An eerie silence covered the entire table for the rest of the dinner, Renji and Sesshomaru occasionally sending death glares to each other while Nami pretended that she didn't notice how tense Sesshomaru was sitting there across from Renji, her golden eyes trained on her husband as she ate slowly.


After dinner was over, Nami and Sesshomaru left together after bidding Renji a good night. Walking out to the car together in silence, Nami occasionally stole glances at him from the corner of her eye. After opening the door for Nami, she stepped in and sat down in the passenger's seat closing the door behind her. Sesshomaru rounded the car and got in himself, starting it and taking off towards home. Half of the drive was silent. Nami continuously looked over at him, trying to read into why he was so tense. Finally getting agitated with his silence, she decided to speak.

"Sesshomaru," Nami said reaching over to touch his shoulder, "what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Sesshomaru said, his eyes trained on the road. His voice was a bit colder than he had intended for it to be.

Nami pulled her hand back, shocked at his tone of voice and laid it over the other in her lap. He had never spoken to her like that before and it scared her a little bit. She pressed her lips together in a thin line as she looked down at her hands, her golden eyes brimming with tears. Sesshomaru looked over at her, his eyes showing the hurt he felt because he had hurt her.

"Nami," he said pulling over and unbuckling his seat-belt, turning to her. "Nami look at me."

Nami looked up at him and he saw the hurt in her eyes. Seeing that truly made him feel bad about the way he had spoken to her now. He hadn't meant for it to come out like that.

"Nami you did nothing wrong," Sesshomaru said leaning over to touch her cheek. "It's just the stress of the day that's getting to me."

Ebisu - Tsk, that and that jackass, Renji.

Sesshomaru - Silence Ebisu, though you are right.

"Would Renji have anything to do with that stress?" Nami asked looking up, her golden eyes clouded with tears.

Ebisu - YES!

"He is a large portion of it," he moving the center consul and leaning over to rest his forehead against hers.

"What did he say?" Nami asked looking him in the eyes, her warm breath tickling his face.

"He thinks that you'll leave me for him," Sesshomaru said kissing her on the crescent moon on her forehead.

"And you believe him," Nami asked running her finger through his mid-back length silver tresses.

"I would never believe you would leave me to be with that vermin," Sesshomaru said kissing her lips softly. "We've been through too much together for us to just give each other up like that all because some bastard thinks that he can come between two people who were destined for one another."

"Good."

Nami smiled, her white fangs glistening in the moon light that hit her face from the window. Sesshomaru cupped her cheek and she placed her hand over his.

"Come," Nami said kissing his lips, "let's go home."

Sesshomaru smiled then pulled back, sitting straight in the driver's seat again. Buckling their seat-belts again, he started the car and drove off back home.

Walking into the house together, Nami laid her head on his brood shoulder, gripping one of his massive hands in her small ones. They walked up the stairs to their bedroom, closing the door behind them. As Nami was getting undressed, she felt Sesshomaru wrap his arms around her waist and looked back at him, pulling her silver hair from between them so that her back pressed to his chest, letting it fall over her shoulder.

"Nami," he said kissing her cheek.

"Yes love," Nami said snuggling into his embrace.

"I want you to stay away from Renji," he said, his grip around her waist tightening slightly. "Can you promise me that?"

"Yes but why," Nami asked, her golden eyes locking with his.

"It was something he said to me," Sesshomaru said. "I don't trust him."

"What did he say," Nami asked for the second time that night.

"He told me that he would do anything to get you," Sesshomaru said, his voice cracked slightly, "even kill me."

Nami choked on air as she looked at her husband bewildered.

"That bastard," she seethed, clenching her teeth together. "I promise."

"Thank you," he said kissing her neck.

With her promise made Nami turned and kissed her husband soundly, her full lips moving sensually against his. Sesshomaru groaned to the kiss.

"Now I know why Renji is so desperate to have you," Sesshomaru said against her lips, "My little animal."

Nami smirked, "But he can't have me."

Sesshomaru nodded, "Not if I have anything to say about." With that he motioned towards his straining erection. Nami played teasingly with Sesshomaru's belt, letting nimble fingers dance around the latch. She licked her lips at the hungry expression her husband gave her.

Ebisu - Hit that... hit that right now!

Sesshomaru - Silence, Ebisu.

Ebisu - Don't tell me to be silent, look at her! You have a divine animal right to hit that with a vengeance!

Sesshomaru - Grr...

Before Sesshomaru knew what he was doing, he grasped Nami by the shoulders and lowered her onto their bed. Nami gasped when she felt Sesshomaru ground into her, the silver-haired man stared deeply into his wife's golden eyes realizing how much he truly loved her. He would tear Renji to pieces before he laid a hand on his beloved Nami.

"Sesshomaru…" Nami pleaded, he lowered head and gingerly suckled the nape of her neck letting his lips lightly graze the warm skin. The inuyoukai woman moaned and arched upwards into her husband absolutely loving his touch and wishing he would do more. Sesshomaru kneeled and unclasped Nami's bra discarding the frilly garment, his attention turned to her underwear and he repeated the process. Nami lie beneath her husband panting with a fierce blush creeping its way across her face.

"Beautiful…" Sesshomaru breathed his eyes raking up and down Nami's exposed body. Nami began to moan helplessly as Sesshomaru moved agonizingly slow down her body, leaving a trail of hot kisses in his wake. Nami's hands found their way to his hair and she began to run her fingers through the silver tresses. Sesshomaru's warm mouth wrapped around one of Nami's nipples and he teasingly rolled his tongue around it. He was encouraged by Nami's sexy little whines; he gave equal attention to each of her delectable breasts taking the silver-haired woman to the brink of sexual insanity.

"Sesshomaru, please…" Nami begged, Sesshomaru kneeled upwards staring down at his wife's lust-filled face. With shaking hands Nami began to undo Sesshomaru's pants, fumbling slightly because of how excited she was. Nami gave Sesshomaru a heated look as she bravely reached inside and pulled out his aching length. The silver-haired man groaned when he felt his wife stroke his length, his head rolled back and his eyes snapped shut.

"Nami…" Sesshomaru growled as he grasped both her wrist and held them above her head. He lowered himself so that his hardness rested on her burning heat.

"I love you…" He whispered to her.

"I love you too…"

With that Sesshomaru sank into her, Nami let out a cry of pleasure once she felt her husband throbbing inside her. It was a good thing Akahana wasn't home. Sesshomaru had his lower lip caught between his teeth as he began to thrust into his wife relishing in the feeling of her hot, sweet pleasure surrounding his driving need.

Nami began to cry out loudly once Sesshomaru swiveled his hips, corkscrewing into her molten depths. The silver-haired woman's nails raked down Sesshomaru's back leaving small scratch marks across his skin. She accepted him, again and again taking him into her slick, wet heat.

"Renji will never have you…" Sesshomaru said lovingly accenting each word with a quick, hard thrust.

"Never!" Nami gasped.

Sesshomaru delved deeper into her with each rhythmic push, Nami moved her hips against his in fine, subtle circling movements swallowing more of his hard manhood.

"Faster…" Nami pleaded, Sesshomaru abiding by her pleas, began to thrust into her fast and frantic as ever. Together they bucked, ached and collided into each other in a perfect rhythm. Sesshomaru kept whispering he loved her and that no other man would ever lay hands on her. Nami listened to his declarations of love and mumbled incoherently once she felt her release fast approaching.

It seemed like a feeling of sheer pleasure worked its way from the bottom of their feet to the tops of their heads. Nami shuddered as inner flesh tightened and pulsated against Sesshomaru's hard shaft.

"Oh my God!" Nami cried.

She came wildly, exploding in a fiery cataclysmic shudder of wanton passion. Sesshomaru clenched his jaw as let go and shot his hot seed into his wife. Together they lie tangled in each others limbs. Nami was gasping brokenly while murmuring 'i love you' against her husband's sweat-slicked chest. Sesshomaru held her close while he tried to control his own breathing. Lying together wrapped in each other's warm embrace, a cozy, peaceful sleep over took the inuyoukai couple.


Nami woke the next morning next to her husband. She smiled when she looked over at the stoic demon male she called her own. Leaning over, she gently kissed his cheek the slipped out of bed pulling her robe over her body. As she turned to leave, she saw Sesshomaru awake, looking at her, a small smile adorning his features.

"Not so stressed anymore?" Nami asked, a small smile splaying in her features.

"Not in the least," Sesshomaru said, his smile growing brooder.

"Hn," was Nami's response as she left the room to take a shower.

Ebisu - That woman...

Sesshomaru - ...is something else.

Ebisu - She put it on you.

Sesshomaru - That is one statement I can't disagree with.

Smirking, Sesshomaru pushed himself out of bed to get ready for his day.
