No, I have not died. I just simply have not had time to write, and very little inspiration as it is. All of my other stories as of now are on hiatus until I have finished this story, Merely Business. There will be a flash back in here, I've also taken into the habit of writing half asleep lately I haven't been able to sleep well, there might be some errors or places that don't make sense. Let me know and I'll fix them, bear with me please.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Sesshoumaru woke by himself on the bed, his head hurt horribly. He sniffed, Kagome and that child Rin's scent was not present in the house. Turning to look at the clock, the big bright numbers said it was six in the morning.
Something was wrong.
He groggily got up from bed and walked downstairs, the house was quiet, most all of the servants asleep. Shaking his head he walked back upstairs and went into the room. Entering the closet he noticed the two suitcases he saw before where missing. Then it clicked in his head, Kagome had left with Rin.
He smirked, let the game of cat and mouse begin.
His beast purred with delight, his mates defiance turned him on. He would have a good amount of fun with this. He would wait a while, let her think that she had escaped his clutches and then when she least expected he would show up and bring her back.
Sesshoumaru need to get some aspirin for his headache and then he would start to follow on her trail, he couldn't afford for her to get hurt with her foolishness. Stifling a groan of pain he rubbed his temples as he called for Mizu, after a long nap he would begin planning.
Inuyasha sniffed in his slumber, his eyes opened. He smelt blood, human and youkai blood, and a lot of it. He leaped from his bed, one of the scents seemed familiar to him and he was going to find out why. He quickly threw off his pajamas and replaced them with simple jeans and a t-shirt, grabbing a pair of sneakers and a cap he ran out his home completely ignoring the sleeping Kikyou on the couch. Inuyasha ran to the elevator, many humans where waiting in line. He quickly made and irritated grunt and ran off to find the stairs, sometimes living in the twenty-second floor had its disadvantages.
Finding the door leading to the stairs he jumped over the rail, straight down the bottom floor, he was a hanyou after all. Adjusting his cap he bounded off to where the smell of blood was permeating from.
Inuyasha followed the scent of blood from the building he lived in, the blood he recognized smelled sweet, familiar to him. It wasn't late, the sun was just rising over the buildings in Tokyo. He slipped his hands into his pockets and slumped his shoulders as he walked. This reminded him of the times he awoke with Kagome in his arms, though they wouldn't do anything because she trusted him. No-she had trusted him enough to not do anything uncalled for, they would get dressed and head out for their morning coffee at the little coffee shop down the street.
He loved how her azure eyes would look smoky and half-lidded when she awoke, how she would smile brightly at him before jumping off of the bed and heading to their closet. She would always dress amazingly, no matter where they were going. Kagome Higurashi, scratch that. Kagome Taisho, always looked amazing. He clearly remembered what she decided to wear the last time they went to that little shop. A white ruffled date top, Metallic Kate jeans from Juicy Couture along with some white peep toe pumps from Fendi. Even if her shirt was loose, you could see every one of her curves, he loved how those spaghetti straps showed off her perfect shoulders. He always lingered on her shoulders, hoping that one day his mark would be adorning one of them..he let out a bitter chuckle, with they way things were now he doubted that would come true.
The skinny jeans she chose to wear that day hugged her legs, making them seem endless. He smiled, he loved how that day her hair was put up into a messy bun. Some of her raven black hair spilling from it, her make up was simple eyeliner and mascara.
How he remembered you ask? He had felt weird that day, like something extremely important was going to happen. He had shrugged it off but gave Kagome a long gaze, just incase that is.
That's when his father called, and told him he would be going to America, the company needed help in the states. Being the youngest one in the family he still did not have as much work as his older brother and father. Without much room for an argument his father hung up, he settled he would tell her at the coffee shop. He placed his phone back into his pocket and grabbed Kagome by the hand, giving her a long gentle hug.
She smiled brightly at him and ran off to the door, "Come on Yash, lets go get some coffee!" she giggled grabbing her purse, Inuyasha chuckled and walked over to her. Closing the door and locking it behind him, he looked ahead and found her there. Pouting and tapping her foot impatiently.
"Come on! I want coffee," she whined down the hall.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at her childish antics but walked quicker all the same, "Inuyasha Taisho if you do not use your inhuman speed to get your butt her right now, I swear I will make no ramen for six weeks!" she growled, in a flash Inuyasha had her over his shoulder and began descending to the elevator. No way was he going to go without his lovely ramen for six weeks! The woman was insane.
"Shut up wench, I'm here." she slapped his back but giggled, deciding to relax in his hold she laid limp on his shoulder.
The shop doors dinged when they entered, the waitress smiled and waved. "Ohayo Mr. Taisho, Ms. Higurashi." she bowed, her hair was brown tied in a ponytail.
She straightened up, red eye shadow adorned her eyes as her bangs fell back into place. Her name was Sango, their favorite waitress. Sometimes Kagome thought she only came because of Sango and her wonderful personality.
Kagome waved a hand dismissively, "Sango I told you not to call me Ms. Higurashi. It makes me feel old, and I am not old thank you very much." she added in Inuyasha's direction as she saw him open his mouth to throw a comment in. He hanyou huffed and crossed his arms, and turned his head away. Sango giggled, they were her favorite customers and recently she had become very good friends with them.
"The usual?" she piped as she noticed the young couple begin to argue over who was old and who wasn't.
They stopped arguing, looking at her they nodded before turning their fierce gazes back at one another. She chuckled and walked to the back of the store to prepare their coffee, a few moments later she returned three cups in hand. She had taken to drinking a latte herself with them every morning, after their fifth visit.
She walked to their usual table, a small booth in the back. There they were, Kagome was currently puling on Inuyasha's left ear mercilessly as he whimpered in pain. She placed the cups on the table and sat down, Kagome stopped pulling on his ear and blushed as she picked her latte up. Inuyasha began rubbing his ear soothingly with one hand as he picked his black coffee with the other.
"Thanks Sango." he smiled, she smiled back and nodded.
"No problem, it's my job after all."
"Still it's only right that we thank you." Kagome added, blowing in her cup hoping to cool it off a bit. Sango nodded, taking a long swig of her latte.
"Kagome, my dad called." Inuyasha broke the comfortable silence.
"And?" Kagome waited for him to continue.
"I have to go to America, the business is having problems over there. My father and brother are too busy to go down there and fix it themselves so I have to go."
"Inuyasha that's great!" she replied gleefully, she was the co-owner of Higurashi corporations. There for she already did most of the things Inuyasha was just beginning to do.
"It is?" he questioned.
"Of course it is Inuyasha, I agree with Kagome." Sango joined in.
"Yes it is, this is going to be great experience for you." sighing in defeat Inuyasha nodded and drank the last of the remains of his coffee. They continued to make small talk, enjoying each others presence.Until just like that it was time to go.
"Well we gotta go Sango." Kagome smiled, as she handed a twenty dollar bill to her. She stood up and placed her purse back around her shoulder, "Lets go Inu."
"Bye Sango." Inuyasha waved at her as they walked out of the shop.
"Bye guys! See you tomorrow!" she giggled.
"You know it!" she heard Kagome shout back.
That night Inuyasha packed up his clothes and said his goodbyes to Kagome, as he left for the airport. If only he knew that when he came back, Kagome would be mated and worst of all to his older brother.
He broke out of his flash back as he came to the end of the street. It lead off to a dirt road to an abandoned part of the city, he sniffed. The blood came from there, he began to jog that way. Blood was smeared on the ground, along with some parts of a car. His eyes narrowed, he kept walking in the same direction. A black Jaguar came into view, the car was wrecked to say the least. He heard a groan and looked to the passenger side door of the car, black hair was spilled out of the broken window, blood dripping down the woman's head.
He heard rustling in the trees ahead of him, he ducked under a bush and peaked out of it. The man that came out he instantly recognized, it was Naraku. He watched as he pulled the door out of the back and passenger side. Taking out the woman first, he turned her around and he stifled a gasp, it was Kagome. That bloody mess was his Kagome! Naraku laid Kagome on the ground as he picked up the young child in the back. In a few mere seconds Naraku, Kagome and the child were gone.
Someone was left in the car, checking twice he left his hiding place. He smelled wolf, walking around the car to the drivers side the man was there. He looked no older than twenty five, he placed his hand on his wrist trying to feel a pulse.
Nothing, the demon was dead.
"Dear Kami Kagome, what have you gotten yourself into?" Inuyasha whispered sullenly.
Kagome groaned, 'Where am I?' she thought. She heard beeping and looked around, the room was white, very little furniture adorned the room besides a small chair that was placed beside her. She gazed at her arm and found and iv, her whole body hurt, there were bandages on her left arm and on her torso.
"Rin." she choked out, she tried to pull the iv out of her arm but failed with a painful yelp as a little drop of blood oozed out of the wound.
"My dear Kagome, you shouldn't do that. I wouldn't want your beautiful body to be harmed." a man purred as he swiped the drop of blood from her arm and gingerly licked it off his finger.
"Might I say you taste delicious, I wonder how the rest of you tastes." his red eyes gazed into her azure colored eyes. She shivered, something about this man didn't set right with her.
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice hoarse. The man simply smiled and grabbed her hand, placing a kiss on it.
"My name is Naraku Onigumo my lady, you had a horrible accident and I rescued you and the little girl that was with you. You've lost a lot of blood, I found you this morning." Kagome sighed with relief, Rin was safe.
That name Naraku, she had heard it somewhere. She pondered for a moment, thinking about one of the meetings she had attended. There was a company, Onigumo enterprises or something of the sort. That's it! He was Naraku Onigumo, the Higurashi's and the Taisho's had both warned that she should stay away from the business man. He was cunning and conniving, she narrowed her eyes. She had to keep her guard up.
"What about Kouga?" she questioned, the young youkai had offered her help and there fore was just as important. Naraku adverted his gaze, Kagome's breath hitched.
She swallowed, "Naraku, what happened to Kouga?" she repeated sternly. She wanted to know what happened to the wolf youkai, and she wanted to know now.
With a sigh Naraku responded, "The wolf demon died in the crash, the car impacted on his side. There for the got most of the impact, he died instantly."
Tears welled up in Kagome's eyes, it was all her fault. Had she not been a coward, Kouga would not be dead. He would be alive, living with his tribe, his mate Ayame who was expecting a cub soon. She let out a strangled sob as she took her hand away from Naraku's hold. Burying her face in her hands she quietly sobbed.
Sesshoumaru awoke from his nap, sitting up on the bed he placed his hand on his slightly burning mate mark. His Kagome was sad, he sighed. He would have to begin following her sooner than he expected. Rising to his feet he called Jaken. The green imp quickly hobbled into his masters room and bowed expecting his orders.
"Jaken, Kagome has decided to go on a little trip without my knowledge. Call Miroku, he should be able to sense her with his spiritual powers incase she got too far. I cannot afford her to get hurt." nodding Jaken bowed once again and left the room.
Sesshoumaru watched as his servant left his quarters, he ran his hand though his silver tresses and decided to change. Knowing Miroku he would show up in about an hour. Yawning as he stretched is stiffened limbs from his sleep, he noticed it was really quiet without Kagome.
"Kagome.." he whispered.
Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he missed her.
He would get her back, the miko was his and she would stay by his side.
He would make sure of that.
Naraku grew tired of his little treasure, he was getting tired of seeing her cry.
"Shut up woman!" he hissed, in her ear.
Kagome gasped as she was roughly brought to her feet, the iv harshly pulled out of her arm. She yelped in pain, but stifled a gasp of surprise as she felt a mouth on the place where her iv was. Her eyes widened, Naraku was sucking on her wound! Like a damn ambrosia from the look on his face.
He removed his mouth and the wound was gone, grabbing her he dragged her out of the room, her stumbling behind him trying to keep up. They were in a house, that's all she saw before he heard Naraku say "Sweet dreams my dear." and she fell unconscious.
He took her in his arms bridal style and walked down to he other side of his estate. He placed her on a near by couch and opened a door to the basement, picking her up once again he took her down the stairs.
The basement was dark, with cells similar to the ones you saw on those horror movies. He thought to himself he should really put a few lights in there, even for him that he was a half demon it was quite hard to see. Opening a cell he dropped Kagome in a small bed and left, locking the cell door. He would have some fun with her later, but for now he would have a healer fix her up. Because how could he have a little fun if his toy was broken?
A/n: Kagome and Inuyasha lived together in his condo, Kagome moved out after he broke up with her. Now originally, I had planned for Kagome to make it to Naraku's estate safely with Rin and Kouga would not have died not that it would have made a difference because I don't like Kouga and I would have either just cut him out of the story with a happy ending or killed him off. I don't know why I am not fond of Kouga, I just don't like him that much.
Oh and by the way Happy late Valentine's day.
This story will be updated again by the end of this month.
