Hikari- San: It's really late and i just couldn't stop writing. so sorry if there's really bad grammer and spelling. don't forget, loyal readers, read and review. and send me a few ideas. it's rather tiring for me to come up with everything.


Sayuri awoke to the light shining into the room. It took a little while for her eye sight to adjust. She was in a queen size bed, adorn with white silk sheets, wearing nothing except her silk blouse and white panties.

Wait A Minute!? Sayuri thought in a panic. What the hell happened last night!? All I remember was falling asleep while going home and then... those gorgeous golden eyes looking at me…

Sayuri slapped her forehead. Man, was she a whore. Then she took another look around the room. Sayuri, with her keen eye for interior design and analysis of Sesshomaru's personality, this room was a little too casual for a multibillionaire. Sayuri walked around the room. She found her jeans, sweater, jacket, and shoes folded neatly and placed in a corner.

Um… maybe I was overanalyzing… Sayuri thought to herself. If she and Sesshomaru did…it… then wouldn't the room and clothes be in disarray? Sayuri shrugged it off and slipped her jeans on and wandered out of the room.

"Kami! Couldn't he have gotten a smaller rich people's house?" Sayuri said to herself. The hallway by itself was about as big as her apartment from the living room to the bedroom. The bedroom she was in was as big as her place as a whole. She continued to wonder the house. The rooms were a mix of cultures. One minute it was a resemblance of medieval Europe, and then it switched to Feudal Japan, with huge samurai armor and rare woodblocks, scrolls, and ink paintings hanging along the walls.

East meets west. Sayuri thought to herself. Thought whoever was hired for the interior, they chosen a really bad color…

"Miss Sayuri, are you lost?"

Sayuri turned to find Rin walking towards her.

"Tell me, do you like living in a museum?" Sayuri asked, causing Rin to laugh.

"If you're looking for the kitchen, it's that way." Rin said, pointing behind her. Sayuri gave her a nervous smile.

"Ha-ha, I knew that…" Sayuri said, trying to shake it off with a laugh.

"Merry Christmas by the way Miss Sayuri."

Sayuri, while keeping an eye out for Rin, check her messages. One new voicemail.

"SAYURI! Where are you!? I called your house and you weren't there! I also called Jakotsu's and Ayame's places but you weren't there either! What is this about Chiyo being engaged!? Tag you're it!" Beeeeep…

Chiyo forgot to call dad…Sayuri thought…

"Morning?" Sesshomaru said from the kitchen. But then his eyes went big.

"What?"

"Is your hair always like that in the morning?"

Sayuri stood horrified. She didn't need a mirror to know what her hair looked liked. Thought it may be down to her butt, it didn't mean that it could go all crazy. Right now, here she was, in a rich guy's house, looking like Medusa with frizzy hair (A/N: I should know, my hair does that in the morning too, and it's really long….)

Rin laughed. This was the ideal family that she wanted all her life. A dad, a mom, and her. Now she needs to make sure that the only woman in her father's life was Sayuri. It didn't matter that she was her teacher. Rin had a feeling that Sayuri would be a great girlfriend for her dad.

"I have a brush in my room. Want it?" Rin said, in between laughs.

"Um…that would be nice…." Sayuri said, wondering how things could get worse.

Rin got up and ran off, only to stop at the kitchen entrance to spy on her father and Sayuri.

"Rough night?" Sesshomaru asked teasingly.

"That, and a weird morning…" Sayuri said, rubbing her neck.

"Merry Christmas. Here's a gift from me." Sesshomaru said, as he handed her a cup of coffee.

"Aw… I was expecting something more expensive…" Sayuri said with a hint of amusement and gratitude.

"By the way…"

Sayuri looked up. Damn it, the golden eyes always made her heart go faster.

"Do you know how to work a stove?" That made Sayuri go into a fit of laughter.

"What single man doesn't know how to work a kitchen tool?" Sayuri said, while trying to stop laughing.

"One that can hire chefs, but their off for today." Sesshomaru said, failing to see the humor.

Sayuri finally calmed down enough to get serious.

"You're lucky I'm a teacher and have a lot of patience. The first step to becoming a good cook is to start off with cooking breakfast. Sayuri noticed she had a hair tie in her pocket (A/N: Something that always seems to happen to me as well, never leave the house without your hair ties ladies; and gentleman if your hair's long enough). Sayuri messed with her hair until it was out of her way and improved her hair condition.

"Ok, first let's find every thing we'll need…"


Rin continued to watch as Sayuri taught Sesshomaru to cook.

Miss Sayuri should definitely be my new mom…Rin thought to herself. She only met her biological mother once, and the two didn't get along at all. Her mother looked at her as if she was a parasite. She never saw her since. Then, she came up with a plan for later that day. She immediately went into her father's study, a place she was never allowed in, picked up the phone there, since using the house phone would have the base flashing red and her plot discovered.

"Aunt Kagome? It's Rin…."


(A few hours later)

Sayuri finally got home around three. Breakfast was surprisingly fun. The food didn't turn out too bad. Rin had something else on her mind. While Sesshomaru was wondering if he should eat his own cooking.

Sayuri turned the key in the hole and was shocked with what she found in the middle of the living room.


"Yeah, I got in there Rin. She went back home? Then she should be calling here anytime now…. Yup, that's her. I'll let you know, now start your phase two." Kagome said into the phone, then handing it to Inuyasha.

"Hello?" he said into the phone.

"It's Sayuri! Where's Kagome!?" Sayuri's voice could be heard on the other side of the living room, nearly making Kagome go into a fit of laughter, if not it ruined Rin's plan.

"Kagome's in the shower. Why do you need to talk to her for? You saw her yesterday…"

"Because I'm standing in a flower shop that's suppose to be my living room!"

Inuyasha glared at Kagome.

'All part of the plan…" Kagome whispered to him.

"Are you sure you got the right place. You did have a lot of wine last night." That comment made him and Kagome smirk.

"Quit being a dumbass! Somebody's going to tell me what the scam is!"

"Maybe you should read the cards."

"Fine I will!"

Inuyasha continued to have a chat with the dial tone.

"Man, is she pissed." Inuyasha said, while hanging up the phone.

"Don't forget the Kentaro Incident. He may have hurt her bad, but she needs to get over it and get a man."

"And you decided on my brother?"

"I always wanted Sayuri to be Akane's legal aunt." Kagome walked up to Inuyasha seductively. "Besides, my Christmas gift to you is only valid while Akane's asleep."


(Back To Sayuri)

Sayuri dug through a pile of the red and white roses, hohoho. She finally found a card.

'Merry Christmas, my love. Sesshomaru…' Sayuri's heart skipped a beat. All this was from HIM!? She had a flashback to the date last Tuesday. Sesshomaru was indeed the romantic type when he wants to be. Sayuri backed up to the bookcase, but she knocked a few things over. She looked down and saw a picture of her and Kentaro. Sayuri picked it up. Was she really ready to go into another relationship? This was not only her ex, but a would have been husband. He hurt her more than anyone knows. Sayuri threw the picture in the trash.


(At Sesshomaru's place)

"Hey dad! What's this?" Rin asked, bringing a package to her father. So far, things were going as planned. Aunt Kagome mentioned something about involving Sayuri's friend Jakotsu into the little plot. After hearing her aunt's plans for phase three, she agreed and hung up so Operation Flower Strom could finish up. Now Operation Secret Santa was in motion.

"Where did you get this?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I found it in Miss Sayuri's room."

Sesshomaru took the package. What could be inside it? He opened it to find a small snow globe. The figure inside the glass globe had two dancers similar to the ones at the ballet. There was a note inside too.

'Just my way of saying thanks. Sayuri'

"Whose it from?" Rin asked innocently.

"Sayuri- San."

"Oh." Rin said, and ran back to her room. She slammed the door. Papers were all over the room. Good thing she kept all the papers that Miss Satome gave back with comments or else it would have been difficult to forge that note. And another mental note to thank Grandma for the lend of the snow globe…

Sesshomaru, meanwhile, was pacing through out the house.

Why a gift now? We just met.

(Inner Youkai) but I sense an attraction

She's Rin's teacher! That's just wrong!

Whatever, don't deny you've been having… interesting thought lately…

Be quiet…

But the fact that Sayuri got something for him wouldn't leave his mind.

"Rin. I'm going out for a while!"

"Ok dad!"


As soon as she heard the door close, she got on the phone again. This time, she pressed a special key.

"Are all operatives present?" Rin asked in a serious tone that she picked up from Sesshomaru.

"Present!" Inuyasha, Kagome, Izayoi, Inutashio, and Inukimi's voices replied.

"Good! Now Aunt Kagome, is the special agent ready?"

"Affirmative!"

"Why are we talking like this?" Inukimi asked.

"Don't spoil the fun!" Izayoi said teasingly.

"Must be a human thing." Inukimi mumbled.

"Aunt Kagome, what's your operation called again?" Rin asked, while crossing and writing things down on her notepad.

"Operation Drag Launch."

"What's drag, Aunt Kagome?"

"I'll tell you when you're older…"

"Ok, Operation Drag Launch is next in action. Keep me posted on what's happening, private."

"Roger that."

"And dogs, be prepared for phase four."

"Rin, how long is this going to last?"

"Hopefully we stop at stage five, grandpa. I'm getting tired of brainstorming."

"Roger that!" Everyone hung up


Hikaru- San: What could be the point of Rin's entire operation? What are the Inu- Youkais' involvement? Who's Jakotsu?

Rin: Mwhahahaha! My plan is bond to work!

Hikaru- San: (opens a pack of double stuffed Oreos and shares with Rin) meanwhile, please read and review.
