A/N:
Before you say anything I just have something very important to say... IT WAS SESSHOUMARU'S FAULT!
Mature, I know but he didn't cooperate with me at all and I just threw in the towel and went with the original chapter.
Thanks for the people who reviewed and I will try to respond in chapter 13 or 14.
Why?
Because I am giving you chapter 10 - 12!
Yay!
I was also rereading the chapters on the site and noticed that because I used "copy and paste" some words were omitted.
I will fix this so please disregard the notification emails. Although I will update a chapter as I fix the others
Chapter 10
Whatever Kagome was expecting on the other side of the door, it was not this.
"Miko." Fluffy, of all people - demonkind - acknowledged her presence.
Calling her miko in front of her uncle and the head of security - who looked like he was about to bolt - is not wise.
"Kagome."
She turned her head to see Koenma sitting on a couch. She almost groaned.
'Sure. Why not? Pair up the blabber mouth and the killer to watch the talk with her very eccentric and nosy uncle. I can already see the tragedy that shall fall upon this very white room.'
"Kagome, I know it is important that we discuss your... activities but I would like to know how you know these people?"
'Two influential people who definitely don't go to shrines.' Yuzuru mentally added.
'Okay. Uncle in serious mode... so not good.'
If Sesshoumaru and Koenma decided that she needed to be part of their talk and decided to act like normal people for once and use the front door... she decided that she would unleash her fury on them.
"That is none of your concern Suoh." Sesshoumaru cut in their conversation.
He successfully managed to get Suoh's attention.
Yuzuru was called many things but not being concerned for his only niece who apparently know two of the most influential people today was not one of them. Especially when said niece is a minor whose only destination was school and was sick most of the time.
"The question is who are you to her?" Sesshoumaru added chillingly.
What came across as offending to Yuzuru was relief to Kagome.
'Finally! An easy to answer question!'
"He's my uncle." She said so brightly that Yuzuru and the head of security was thrown off a bit.
A second later Yuzuru was boasting a proud smile towards the two visitors.
To say Sesshoumaru was engrossed in watching Kagome's bright smile wasn't an understatement, he just can hide it very well.
The fondness in his eyes didn't get pass Yuzuru's though. His face may be etched in stone but Yuzuru can tell from his eyes. He and Kagome weren't just acquaintances. The smile Yuzuru wore was wiped off of his face.
Sesshoumaru noticed this. Usually, he does not need to hide his little affections because everyone in the West knew of Kagome's importance. Needless to say, no one knew of his romantic feelings for the priestess and that was the true reason for her suitors disappearing.
Why should he, 'The Great Sesshoumaru', need to give the priestess to the unworthy fools that will end up being protected by her?
"Does your uncle make a habbit of using your phone to call the people from your contacts randomly, miko?" Sesshoumaru did not think so.
Kagome mentally groaned. The only contact that phone had was Koenma. She thought it was a temporary thing - her ownership of the phone. It disappeared so suddenly that she thought that someone came and took it back to Reikai.
'To think that uncle -'
She froze when the gravity of the situation hit her.
Her uncle just called Koenma when he was in the middle of a meeting with Sesshoumaru. She knew that Koenma would be so relieved that he would talk about the topic he and Sesshoumaru were talking about. Did her uncle know? Did Sesshoumaru come to clean up Koenma's mess? Did my uncle just steal my phone?!
Her eyes narrowed and started to nag. She knew no man liked being nagged and caused them to shut out whoever is nagging. It even makes them forget about important topics if done correctly.
"You took my phone?!" Kagome said outraged. If there's one thing Kagome didn't have to lie about, then it's her anger. Souta didn't lie to everyone when he said to not get her angry. She was the only one who talks because her anger gets worse if you talked back. She usually wins arguments. Usually.
Of course Yuzuru in 'smother - thee' mode made it worse when he tried to explain.
Subject long forgotten she walked out, Sesshoumaru walking beside her and Koenma behind. She hopes that it takes him a long time to get out of his mushroom production corner and that the head of security didn't say anything.
"What did you do to the head of security?" She gave a sideways glance towards Sesshoumaru.
"Nothing less than necessary."
"So, what does he know?"
"The name of the man who makes the charms at your shrine."
"And who is that?" Kagome caught on.
"Someone named Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru gave a small quirk of his lips at that.
"Brilliant! When will he introduce himself?" Kagome gave a sly smile.
"Once Totosai devices a more... seemingly spiritual ring."
"Great!"
Kagome knew that Sesshoumaru's ring had become an identifying feature for Shouma Taisho.
It is said that it was the Taisho's family heirloom. It was only given to the heirs of the Taisho's.
Kagome only hears of businessmen from Honey and Mori. They talked about the most amazing ones and the most... interesting. She heard of him from them then she met him.
Apparently, she knew Sesshoumaru way before she knew Inuyasha.
She met Sesshoumaru when she was four. She will never admit it but he was her first crush.
The ring only changes his appearance.
He has black hair and brown eyes at the moment. She knew that he has been using the ring to get rid of the suspicion of people.
A business with a never aging boss wouldn't have gone well with the rest of the world.
She now had an explanation about who was the maker but not why she had a phone that only connected to the prince of Reikai.
Oh well she would just have to bite her tongue when Sesshoumaru talks with her uncle.
'Thank you Shou-nii!'
