Chapter four
--
"I see we meet again"
"So it seems" she put on a fake smile 'now that I have a closer look he does seem familiar'
"Is there something that interests you neko?"
Kagome held in a growl, she sat on the comfy chair across from where Sesshoumaru was sitting. "Sesshoumaru- do you mind if I call you Sesshoumaru?"
"Taisho"
"Okay Sesshoumaru, I mean Mr. Taisho lets begin shall we. I'm Dr. Higuarshi or you could call me Kagome either is fine, as you know I am your doctor nothing else" She didn't wait for an answer she really hate the guy "how do you think, you does act when someone gets you really mad"
Sesshoumaru spoke in his usually emotionless voice "it depends on the situation"
Kagome didn't get anything from his tone 'this may take longer than 4 hours ugh'. She cleared her throat "say the situation dealt with someone disgracing your business?"
"They will find out that they shouldn't have disgrace my business before they started to open their mouth"
"So you're stating that you threaten them"
"If it's necessary"
Kagome furrowed her eyebrows and quickly change her expression to its regular stance. She lay back onto her chair and played with pen in her hand, "would it be different if it was……a ningen?"
"Much different"
"Mind to elaborate?" She held in her anger 'and I'm suppose to be helping yea'.
"I do mind"
Kagome jutted down a few notes and looked at her watch. "Are you serious?" she muttered
"Did you say something?"
"Uh, oh nothing" 30 minutes had passed since the beginning of this session.
Kagome started tapping on the arm of the chair "let's continue shall we".
From that point on Kagome asked questions and wrote comments depending on his answer. Sesshoumaru was getting slightly annoying anytime she would tap her nails or sometimes she let her claws out and continue tapping making it more annoying.
-- Hours Later --
Kagome looked at the wall 'five…….four…..three…..two….one'.
"I guess that is it for today I'll be seeing you until tomorrow"
"You will" with that Sesshoumaru left the room
Desire came into the room with a cup of tea, she handed it to Kagome "how was the session"
Desire is Kagome's assistant/secretary. She is a hanyou, half human half bat demon. She doesn't know much about her background since she lost her family members and been moved to and from different families ever since she was young. Desire came from America coming to Tokyo looking for a job and to learn more of her heritage. She knows her Japanese she just needs help with her pronunciation and Kagome does correct her at times.
"A drag" she let out a huge breath when saying that.
A smile grew on Desire's caramel colored skin. "Since you won't be seeing your next client 'til the next 30 minutes is there anything that you would like me to take care of?"
"Um……check out on Kanna maybe you could squeeze her in somewhere where I'm free"
"I'll try but Yamada has her with, I believe Kikyo, I should be able to pull through anything else?"
Kagome was now walking to the elevators Desire in tail "Get all of Shippo's files ready for me to look over"
"Got it"
Kagome entered the elevator, she sighed 'maybe lunch will clear my head.'
Ayame was at the front "ready to go?"
"Yup"
They went to their usual hangout where they met up with Sango and Jakotsu. They slid in the booth with them.
Sango started "how was your day with the, oh so fabulous Sesshoumaru?"
Jakotsu spit it out his drink that thankfully didn't touch anything but the table. He turned his head to Sango "you were serious".
"Duh, would I ever joke like that?"
"Do you really want to me answer that"
Sango rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Kagome "as I was saying how was it?"
"the oh so fabulous Sesshoumaru was oh so dreadful"
Ayame bended her wrist "Oh please your just saying that"
"I'm saying that because it's true it's like he has no respect for anybody but he expects it back. Who does he think he is?"
They stared at her, 'it's not like I……. I did'.
"You could look at me all you want I was just stating my opinion"
"mmmm….hh….mmmm……"
Kagome ignored it.
"So what time do you meet?" Jakotsu asked
"Why?"
"Because…….." He started playing with his straw.
"We meet everyday at 10am"
Sango shook her head "how can you wake up so early in the morning?"
"Coffee"
Ayame smiled "Which reminds of what happened this morning"
Ayame caught Sango and Jakotsu's attention "please tell"
"Please don't" Kagome put her head on the table.
Ayame ended up telling the story to them. Kagome just sat there hoping that they won't tell her anything stupid or better yet they won't say anything about it, 'fat chance'.
"Kagome don't you think before you do anything" Sango said at the end
"What! I wanted my coffee, it wasn't even my fault" Kagome took another breath "you people are not even comforting me, some friends you are"
Kagome felt a pat on her back "Oh stop being an ass Kagome we love you either way, though we'll love you even more" Sango tapped her chin "if you let us pick you up tomorrow".
She knew what they really wanted and will do "yea, whatever" as long as they don't drag me into it, its okay with me.
"Come on you have to get back to work" Ayame tugged at her top
"Can't you like 'skip' a day of work"
"Jak this is not high school"
"Doesn't hurt to believe?"
"Believe in what? You know forget about it"
"Later" They waved goodbye
After Lunch
"Shippo, how are you this day" Kagome asked joyfully.
"So far it was great"
Kagome smiled "do you mind telling me about it?"
Shippo happily did.
Shippo is her favorite client at eight his lost both of his parents to a mysterious death and after the death of his parents there was a change in his attitude he would get angry very easily and that would end up in violence. Now ten he lives with his grandmother and is learning how to control his anger. It took a while, maybe two years nobody said it was easy taught it a few things though he still had more to learn.
"You won't believe what I did in school yesterday"
"If you don't hurry up and tell me"
"Well in class Ms. Toba put everyone in pairs; we had to come up with a theme that would express the book that the class just finish reading, we had to agree to the theme so I wanted an ancient he wanted modern. I was angry at this but then I took a deep breath and told him of a better idea, we both agreed and we got an A."
"Way to go Ship" She gave him a high five. "I'm so proud of you, did you tell your grandmother?"
He nodded "She was happy"
"She should be"
They spent the rest of the session going through other possible actions to go through problems and understanding the other side.
o
Kagome was in the car with Rin in the back, it was awkwardly quiet. When Kagome was at the center to pick she barely said a word, hopefully before the day ends she'll talk. She glanced at the rearview mirror she was looking at out the window nothing expressed on her face at the moment. 'Hopefully she's not like her father, hopefully.'
"How does ice cream sound?"
Rin was quiet for a moment "Rin will like some ice cream"
Kagome let out a sigh of relief and smiled "what's your favorite?"
"Strawberry"
"No"
Rin frowned
"No Rin, I was saying that I like strawberry too."
"Rin is happy that Kagome-chan like strawberry"
"Great, I have a big carton at home we could eat out of"
They entered her apartment
"You – she poked Rin who jumped at the touch – go put on your jammies and come back" She poked Rin again.
Rin jumped and rushed to the bathroom with the pjs that Kagome gave her.
Rin came back with a big smile on her face "Kagome-chan Rin is ready"
"Great" Kagome led her to the living room "here's the television, sorry but I got to go wash up you don't want me to hang out with you all dirty right"
Rin made a face and shook her head "it'll be quick" Kagome rushed off not wanting to leave the child by herself for long.
o
Seshoumaru grunted 'I know I put those files somewhere, I just got them yesterday'. He took a deep breath, entered the kitchen and picked up a folder that was on the table. Sesshoumaru flipped through it and sat down and read it. It was the file that Sesshoumaru was searching for; the folder contained the foster parent that Rin was staying. He looked at the name that was to be Rin's foster parent 'I knew she was familiar…..does she know'.
At that moment Kagura walked in. She was close to clean, 'what did I see in her. You were drunk and in Vegas….ha if only.'
Kagura looked over his shoulder "plan on visiting?" she sounded disgusted.
"That is nothing for you to be concern, since you don't want anything to do with your child. Which makes me wonder why would are you fighting for custody for the daughter that you want nothing with"
Kagura was going to open her mouth when Sesshoumaru put his hand up "I'm not finished, I don't want to hear the answer that is about to come out of your mouth." With that he left the room.
Kagura huffed back to her room and muttered under her breath "tell me what to do".
'Maybe a walk will help.' Sesshoumaru walked out of the door and into the chilly breeze.
"Okay let's see we have The Little Mermaid"
Rin shook her head
"Cinderella"
"No"
"Um…what about the Lion King"
"Uhh………" Rin had a look of confusing
"You have never seen the lion king?"
Rin shook her head
"We gonna watch it" Kagome popped it in
"Is it scary?"
"I don't think so but if you see something that scares you just tell me okay and I'll stop it"
They were near the middle of the movie when the part where Mufasa gets run over by the herd and Rin cuddled closer to Kagome "tell Rin when it's over"
"Are you sure I could turn it off"
"No" Rin straightened herself up "I can take it"
"You sure about that?"
"Daddy says that to never fear anything"
"Well if you're not afraid of something then your not human"
"His a youkai"
"or youkai" Kagome added "you are not normal either way"
"My daddy said to don't be scared"
"I guess your daddy is not normal"
"My dad is a powerful demon"
Kagome put her head back against the couch. She is not going to get through this child 'she probably got that from her father, ha'.
The movie was now over and Rin was fast asleep. Kagome lifted her and laid her on the bed in the bedroom that is momentarily hers.
Kagome got ready for bed 'ah yes big day tomorrow meeting Mr. Stuck up……..ugh.'
So I wanted to update one more chapter before school starts. I know its short but I promise you that the next one will be longer.
Thank you xoxoxo
