Fire: College finals are NO FUN!
Ice: I can't wait until it's over!
Fire: Anyways, new chapter. *reads over notes.*
Ice: Enjoy! *buries head in text book.*
Sesshomaru pulled up at his father's home and knocked on the door. Seconds later the door opened and Izayoi stood in front of him.
"Sesshomaru, hello." she said giving him a soft smile. "Your father is in his study. Come on in."
I think she's physic. How did she know we came for Touga.
*Because that's the only reason I come here.*
Sesshomaru stepped through the door and began making his way up the stairs until Izayoi called.
"Are you hungry?" she asked looking up the stairs.
"No I've already eaten." he said as he disappeared into the dim lighting of the upstairs hallway.
Sesshomaru knocked on the wooden door and heard his father beckon him in.
"Ah Sesshomaru," Touga said looking up from the paper work he was going over. "What brings you here?"
"I need to speak to you about a matter..." Sesshomaru said sitting down in the comfortable office chair.
"And what is this 'matter' you wish to speak to me about?" Touga asked folding his hands over each other on the desk.
"There is an onna I met some time ago," Sesshomaru started.
"So this is about an onna," Touga said rubbing his hand with his thumb. "And who might she be?"
"Her name is Kaneko." Sesshomaru said, a half smile forming at the thought of her name.
"And you really care about her don't you?" Touga asked leaning in closer.
"More than I've ever cared about anyone else," Sesshomaru said. "And that's what scares me. How do I deal with this Father?"
"Well have you told her for starters," Touga asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Apparently last night I was so drunk I asked her to marry me," Sesshomaru said leaning back in his chair.
"That is not the same my son," Touga said. "You have to tell her when you are sober. Sit her down and let her know exactly how you feel. And if she feels the same way then you follow what your heart is telling you is right. Don't listen to that there brain of yours."
"So I explain to Kaneko that I actually do care about her on a deeper level than she knows?" Sesshomaru asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Yes, and when you do tell her, you bring her to the company party tonight," Touga said, a smile adorning his features. "I would like to meet this young onna of yours."
"Very well," Sesshomaru said standing then left the room.
Touga sat silent in thought for a moment.
"That boy is finally growing into his head." Touga said to himself, a light chuckle brewing.
Sesshomaru sped down the highway, cell phone in hand as he scrolled his phone-book for Kaneko's number.
...You're swerving.
*Dammit*
Sesshomaru finally found her cell number and pressed call placing the phone to his ear. It rang a couple times before the line picked up.
"Hello," came her voice over the line, the sound of soft R&B playing in the background.
"Are you busy tonight?" Sesshomaru asked making a turn into his driveway.
"Not at all," Kaneko said, a smile playing in her voice.
"Wonderful," he said, more so to himself.
"Is there something you needed," Kaneko asked, the clattering of a drawer full of silver wear opening coming through the line.
"Yes actually," he said making a turn. "My Father's company is having a very big party tonight celebrating it's 65th anniversary. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me."
"Sesshomaru I'd love to but..." she said the sound of the drawer closing filling in the silence.
"Is something wrong?" he asked making another left turn and coming upon his house.
"I have nothing to wear," she said.
"That can easily be taken care of," he said getting out of the car and walking to the front door of his home. "I'll come and get you in about an hour and we'll go looking."
"Thank you," she said.
"I'll see you then?" he said walking through the door and putting his keys on the side table.
"See you then," she said before the line went dead.
Sesshomaru sat the phone on his bed and raided his closet for something else to wear. Deciding on a pair of dark blue jeans and a plain polo, he changed out of his clothes (the clothes he had been wearing the night before) and put them on. Walking into the bathroom, he picked up his brush and brushed his long silver hair back into a ponytail. Leaving, he walked back outside and stepped into his car. Starting the Ferrari, he drove off towards Kaneko's apartment.
Sesshomaru arrived at Kaneko's apartment an hour later and honked. Kaneko's head peeked out of the window for a second then she disappeared again. A few seconds later, the door opened and she walked out down the stairs. He watched her walk towards his car clad in a pair of white basketball shorts, and a wife beater. Her long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail and swung side to side with each step. On her face were a pair of black sunglasses with rinestones embedded in the arms. She smiled at him as she opened the door and stepped into the car.
Who knew the onna would look so good dressed simply like that.
*It is Kaneko we are speaking of, Belial. She is a stunning onna no matter what she wears.*
You have a point there.
"Hello there," she said strapping herself in and glancing over at him.
"Ready?" he asked putting the car in gear.
"Uh huh," she said leaning back in the seat.
Sesshomaru sped off towards an elegant boutique across town. During the car ride, Kaneko's phone began to ring in her pocket.
My name is Keri, I'm so very
Fly oh my it's a little bit scary
Boys wanna marry looking at my derri-
erre, you can stare but if you touch it I'ma bury
Pretty as a picture
Sweeter than a swisher
Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha
I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty
And if you know it too then ladies sing it with me
All eyes on me when I walk in,
No question that this girl's a 10.
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful.
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful.
My walk, my talk the way I dress,
It's not my fault so please don't trip.
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful.
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful.
Aye, now do the pretty girl rock rock rock.
Do the pretty girl rock rock rock.
Do the pretty girl rock rock.
All my ladies do the pretty girl rock rock rock.
Do the pretty girl rock rock rock.
Do the pretty girl rock rock rock.
Do the pretty girl rock.
Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow as he continued to drive down the road.
That song fits Kaneko perfectly.
*That it does.*
"Hello," she said looking out the window. There was a pause then she replied, "Of course you guys can come over this weekend." Another pause. "Well I can see if I can get Saturday off and we can go out somewhere, brother and sisters time? How's that sound?" Another pause. "Great, I'll come get you guys Friday night."
She hung up then slipped the phone into her shorts pocket.
"Brothers?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Uh huh," Kaneko said nodding.
She is very drawn to her family. A very good quality.
*Hnn*
Sesshomaru arrived at the boutique he wanted to take her to a few minutes later. Getting out of the car together, they walked into the shop. Kaneko gasped when she saw all the elegant dresses that were on display inside.
"Sesshomaru," she said looking up at him wide eyed.
"Choose," he said gesturing for her to go forward. "I will wait for you."
She nodded then walked off leaving him alone to explore the store. She browsed for a while until she came across a long black backless satin dress with a strap that wrapped around the neck embedded with diamonds on the back, front, and shoulders. A long slit went up both legs and it was made to hug a woman's frame. She smiled.
"This is the one," she thought beckoning for one of the clerks to come over. (Ice: If you go to Google and type in this [sexy-v-neckline-halter-and-backless-satin-evening-dress-3ad26] you'll see exactly how the dress looked.)
"Will that be all?" the clerk asked eying Kaneko as he placed the protective covering over the dress.
"That's all," she said following him to the register.
Sesshomaru saw that she was done shopping and made his way over to the register.
"That's going to be $354.98." he said after pricing the dress.
"Here," Sesshomaru said handing over the money as Kaneko picked up the dress.
Wrapping his arm around her waist, Sesshomaru and Kaneko left the boutique and got into the car.
"Are you going to show me the dress," Sesshomaru asked putting the car into gear.
"Not until tonight," Kaneko said smiling. "I think you're going to love it."
Tempting.
*Very.*
Sesshomaru continued to drive while Kaneko leaned over on his shoulder, watching as the road passed them by. Sesshomaru occasionally glanced down at her and smiled. With a swift flicker of her eyes, she looked up at him, smiled, then looked away again.
Tonight is going to be interesting.
*Indeed it is.*
Fire: Get 'em Kaneko!
Ice: Such a temptress.
