(Arrival of calendar # 1)
Midori Taka picked up her mail and was pleased to see that she had recieved a manilla envelope from Kagome. She smiled fondly at the girls name on the envelope, she had always hoped that she and Sesshomaru would be mates. She loved Kagome and would be damned if her son brought home some other woman than her. She carefully opened the envelope and pulled the contents from inside. She pulled out a Calendar and a letter. Midori read the small letter first.
Dear Midori,
I have sent you this calendar in hopes of something to be rekindled. I tell you now have a little "friend" with you when you finish looking at January. But do not look at December, you more than likely will and then you will understand the warning I gave about December. Also if you are interested in January there will be an auction for the "items" displayed within the folds of the calendar. If you are interested in the auction give me a call and I will give you all the information.
Much Love,
Kagome.
Midori looked curiously over at the calendar and picked it up and began turning the pages. What she saw on January had her eyes as big as saucers. There upon the glossy page was a picture of Touga, her once mate.
He was standing outside with fireworks bursting behind him. His silver hair pulled back in a loose pony tail and he was completely bare. His skin was oiled down, making him glow slightly. She stared at the photo with lust in her eyes and saw that he was holding a cork in between his teeth. Down, down, down, her eyes traveled following his markings until it converge at his hips. Then there covering his private area was a bottle of open Moet et Chadon, white-gold bubbles of the champagne were running down the smooth sides of the bottle.
His name was in the top left-hand corner and down at the bottom right-hand corner was a small phrase.
"This sexy man will make a snowy New Years night a warm and cheery delight." it said.
Several seconds passed before she remembered the letter and she immediately jumped at her phone and began dialing Kagomes number. She was not going to let him get away from her again. After two rings Kagome answered her cell and Midori told her that she had recieved the calendar and was especially interested in January and Kagome gave her all the information she needed.
After she got off the phone she looked at the picture again for several minutes and then forced herself to put it down. She gathered up the envelopes and letter. She sat them on her counter and read through the letter again and like most women she did what she was told not to. She turned to December.
"Ahhh." came out her mouth and she quickly shut the calendar.
She did not believe that she had just seen her son naked. Sure she had seen him naked before as a pup but not when he had matured. She sat there with it all rolling through her mind and a wonderful idea struck her.
She rushed upstairs and changed into a casual winter outfit, complete with leather gloves, leather flat boots, shades, and a Hermes (air-mez) scarf. She grabbed her car keys and ripped December out of the calendar and got in her car and headed to Tougas' home.
She made it there in record time. The entire way there she thought over how she was going to make her plan work, she needed Touga to think she is angry with the public being allowed to ogle her sons' naked body. She was able to make herself angry and stay that way by thinking of past things. Now she was sure she could do it but she wouldn't be able to do it if Sesshomaru was there because it was already going to be hard on her to not jump Touga over his steamy photo.
She walked to the door and pounded on it several times before it was opened by a scared, Jaken. She walked in and shouted for Touga.
"Touga get your ass down here now!" she yelled.
Seconds later he appeared at the top of the stairs with curiousity on his face.
"Whatever it is I didn't do it." he said.
"Have you seen this?" she shrieked, waving around the December calendar page.
"Seen what?" he asked descending the stairs.
"This photo. This naked photo of our son. It was in a calendar." she said.
"Did you see any others?" he asked, stiffening slightly.
"Yes, a couple before December." she said.
"Ok." he said calmly.
"Did you know about this?" she asked.
"Y.. Yes." he said hesitantly.
"YOU DID! Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you call me and let me stop him?" she yelled.
"Why? I see no harm in it." he said.
"No harm! My baby boy is going to be auctioned off like a peice of horse flesh to the highest bidder and you say there is no harm." she hissed.
"Yeah." he said.
"Oooh! Men! You always think with your dicks and not your brain, you only listen to instinct and never your emotions. I am his mother and I don't want to see my son being auctioned off, he isn't a slave." she wailed.
"Ok." he said not sure what to say, he wasn't a mother.
"You better fix this Touga! Who took the pictures?" she said.
"Kagome. Didn't you looked at the information?" he asked.
"No! I was preoccupied with my son being photographed naked for all the world to see. Now I know Kagome did it. Why?" she said.
"She needed donations and he volunteered to help her." he explained.
"Really?" she asked, calming down.
"Yes. Besides she enjoyed herself taking his picture." he said.
"She did? Hmmmm." she said getting a mischevious gleam in her eye.
"Whatever it is you are thinking I am not helping." he said.
"Yes you are! I don't want my son being auctioned off to a stranger so why don't we pick." she said.
"What are you getting at?" he said.
"Well I have always wanted him to be with Kagome and she is in love with him. So maybe we can bid on him for her and not let either of them know." she said.
"Hmm, yes we can do that. Sesshomaru loves her but he has never said anything. He thinks she only wants him as her friend." he said.
"So will you do it?" she asked.
"I will.. w..wait why me?" he asked.
"I am his mother and as such I don't want him to think I am meddling." she said.
"But he is allowed to think I am?" he asked.
"Yes. You are his father, it's different." she said.
"Ho.." he started.
"No! Now you will take care of this." she hissed and turned to leave.
"But..." he started.
"No buts. You will do it." she said and left slamming the door.
Midori got in her car, turned it on, adjusted her shades, and peeled out of his driveway. When she had reached the gate a happy smirk graced her lips at a job well done. She was quite the actress.
(Arrival of calendar # 2)
Kohaku Mitso had grabbed the mail on his way into the penthouse he shared with his sister Sango. He shuffled through the envelopes taking what was his, which was all but a large manilla envelope from Sangos' friend Kagome.
"Sango you have some mail. A large envelope from Kagome." he called out.
He heard the light thumping of feet walking around upstairs, then the sound of someone coming down the stairs, and there was his sister coming towards him.
"Here." he said handing it to her and heading to the kitchen.
"Thanks." she said.
Sango made her way to the sofa and sat down. She pulled a letter opener off the mahogany coffee table and opened the envelope. She dumped the contents in her lap and she grabbed the small letter first.
Dear Sango,
I have sent you this calendar in hopes that you will finally get up the nerve. You will more than likely have an attack when you open the calendar and February is for you. Also if this gives you the nerve please call me for further information.
Love,
Kagome.
Sango re-read the letter and looked over at the calendar with curiousity. She put the letter back in the envelope and picked up the calendar. She didn't open it fully, just enought to read what month it was and she opened it fully on February and with a small scream she fell off her couch.
On February was the love of her life, Miroku, naked as the day he was born. He was sitting reclined on a bed with white silk sheets, strewn with red rose petals. His black hair was mussed as if he just made love, his violet eyes were at half-mast, around his neck was a tag that read, For You.
His body was slicked, farther down; the lid of a Valentines heart shaped chocolate box saying, Be mine, was his only cover. Then down beside him was the box of chocolate cherries, half empty. In the top left-hand corner was his name and down in the right-hand corner was a little phrase.
"With you he'll share a glass of Sherry while you feed him a cherry."
Kohaku had heard his sisters' scream and heard her fall off the couch. He ran into the room to find her in a daze on the floor. He rushed to her and grabbed the calendar, without looking at it and began to fan her. Within seconds she began to come around.
Sango remembered dreaming that she saw Miroku naked on a calendar. She felt someone fanning her and she opened her eyes only to see a naked Miroku coming towards and going away from her face. She stared wide-eyed at it for a few seconds then she sat up.
"Sister your ok. You had me worried." Kohaku told her.
"I.. I.. I'm fine. I think I'll go lay down." she said and practically ran up the stairs.
Kohaku watched her go and wondered what on earth had happened. He looked towards the envelope from Kagome and opened the little letter and read it. He then picked up the calendar and looked at February. He blushed lightly and grabbed the phone to call Kagome.
He was going to call for Sango, he knew that she loved Miroku but she was so unconfident that she never said a word about her feelings for him. But he sure made his feelings for her known.
A few rings and Kagome picked up. She had been surprised that it was him calling instead but he explained what had happened and how he was going to do the bidding for Sango without her knowledge. Kagome agreed with him and gave him all the information and they hung up. He was going to see his sister happy even if he had to go behind her back and set her up to do it.
(Arrival of calendar # 3)
Kagura Onigumo was shuffling through her mail when she found the large manilla envelope from her friend Kagome. She ripped it open and pulled out the contents. She found the calendar and when she opened it a letter fell out. She scooped it up and opened it.
Dear Kagura,
This calendar I send is to remind you to get a move on. You will know what I mean when you turn to March. If you want it, call me.
Love,
Kagome.
Kagura shrugged her shoulders and grabbed the calendar. She counted the pages and opened right on March. A surprised look crossed her features and then was replaced by a very lecherous grin. Then she erupted into fan-girl giddy peals of laughter.
The image consisted of Hiten standing under an early spring tree with his arms crossed over his chest. A light breeze drifting through his shoulder length brown hair. Lightening blazed across the sky and rain poured behind him, rivelts of water streamed down his slicked body, accentuating the outlines of his abs.
Her eyes traced the trails of water down, down, down. Down his chest, abs, down to his tapered hips. And she stared and stared, trying to see through the black cloud that was wrapped around his hips, covering the part she wanted to see most.
She scowled lightly at it and reached for her phone. She called Kagome and recieved all additional information. She didn't care if she had to go into debt to get him, she would.
She looked at the picture again and smiled at the phrase in the bottom right-hand corner.
"Oh so sexy, oh so hot, Hiten; he always rates a ten."
She smiled again thinking between him and her they could make quite the storm. She could just imagine, what a storm it would be.
She was so happy. She finally had a picture of Hiten naked and was also now being given the chance to win a date with him and given the chance to let him know how she felt. She would have done it sooner but he was such a play-boy that she never seen him without a girl on his arm and like any other girl she wasn't going to let him reject her in front of another of the female persuasion.
Her laughter was so loud that she attracted the attention of her younger siblings, Kanna and Hakudoshi. They had heard her inane laughter and slowly inched theirselves along the wall to see her jumping up and down with a peice of paper clutched to her chest, squealing.
"Its happened. She's finally snapped." Hakudoshi whispered to Kanna.
"Yeah, I think so. If we leave now she may not see us and we won't have to hear about what is making her this way." Kanna said.
Hakudoshi nodded at her and they tip-toed away from their sister and to the stairs to discuss possibly having her committed for these bouts of insanity.
(Arrival of calendar # 4)
Hojo Kitan laid his mail down on his kitchen counter and began checking his messages. He recieved one from his best friend in the whole world, Kagome. She told him to give her a call after he opened the envelope she sent him. He quirked an eyebrow at the message and he went to the stack of mail and pulled out the with Kagomes' name on it.
He opened it and pulled out the calendar and the letter. He opened the letter and read it.
Dear Hojo,
My dear friend I have sent you this calendar for a good reason. I know you will understand when I say that it is a Beef-cake calendar. My friend you can not hide forever and besides why would you want to when Mr. April has had his eye on you for quite some time. You never knew because you made it quite clear that you are ashamed of yourself. Now let me tell you this I love you, all of your friends love you, and you need to just be yourself. Okay? Remember to call me when you are finished looking at April.
Love you so much,
Kagome.
He knew exactly what she was saying and he agreed with her. He needed to just be himself and stop being ashamed of himself. Now to see what she was talking about, about April. He was not exactly sure who he would see when he looked but he looked nonetheless.
He flipped to April and found his friend, Jakotsu. He knew he was gay but he didn't know that he had held any feelings for him and he wouldn't have believe it if Kagome hadn't told him. He also wouldn't believe how incredibly hot Jakotsu was if he wasn't seeing it for himself.
Jakotsu, the sweet shy boy he knew, was in front of him on a beef-cake calendar of all things. He was dressed in nothing, only cover was a small yellow polka dotted, open umbrella at his groin area. The right bottom corner held a catchy little phrase.
"A kind, gentle, and witty guy will give you a thrill and his great sense of humor will make your voice shrill.
His black hair was styled as bed head. His black eyes had an unanswered plea in them, a longing he had never noticed before. The purple upside down triangle markings under his eyes made the plea more pronounced. A small pout on his lips combined with the longing in his eyes gave him a lost little boy look. And to Hojo it was beautiful.
His eyes traveled over the man he used to only think as a friend. He had grown up to be a gorgeous specimen of the male species. He was all tanned and rippling muscles, slick and sparkly, to match the early spring theme.
He had never noticed Jakotsu the way he did now and it was like a pressure in his soul was being released. He now knew someone wanted him and now he could be free to be himself.
He reached for his cell phone and dialed Kagomes' number. She picked up on the first ring. She greeted him and they talked for an hour. He thanked her and he told him that she would set them up after the auction. She also warned him not to hurt Jakotsu. He wouldn't, of course, and then they finally got off the phone.
Authors Note: Ok, here is part 1 of 3 that you all have been waiting for. It was a last minute decision to split it into 3 parts. 4 months for each chapter, so yeah, but it may change as I go with chapter 4. Ok.
