Chapter 14
It was past ten o' clock when Kagome decided to go back into the reading room and relax since Rin was finally tucked into bed. Maybe she would sleep in the warm fire lit room since her bedroom wasn't prepared yet. Right now her worries were on how she would get to work in the morning. Sesshoumaru lived in the outskirts of Tokyo where it was less crowded and noisy, but Naraku's office was on the other side of town. When she lived in the apartment complex she could easily walk to work, but not here. Public transportation vehicles didn't even come to this area.
"I really need to buy a car," Kagome said to herself as she walked into the reading room to discover that a fire was already lit.
The servants must have lit the fireplace when she was eating dinner with Rin. Rin only got away with staying up late again because she wasn't sure on what school Rin was souppose to be going to. Kagome decided to just sit on the couch and think about all of that later.
"What in the flipping hell!" A gruff male voice screamed forcing Kagome to fall on the ground in fear and surprise.
Once she calmed down long enough to look forward she saw a pair of golden orbs staring back at her. At first she assumed it was Sesshoumaru, but the man she accidentally sat on had messier sliver hair and wore baggy jeans and a red shirt; while Sesshoumaru had clean white hair and always wore a suit. This man was also able to show emotion because right now he looked really angry.
"S-sorry," Kagome said to the man nervously.
"Who in the hell are you and why did you sit on me!" he shouted.
Kagome stood up, "I didn't know anyone else was in here. I am Kagome Hig- I mean Kagome Murashu."
He glared at her, "Murashu? How is that possible?"
"I am Sesshoumaru's wife."
He stood up and examined her closely almost as though he was a dog sniffing her out, "you don't look like an actress or a super model."
"I am Rin's mother," was the only answer Kagome could come up with."
"Oh," he sat back down, "you must be Kagome. I knew he was going to offer you a huge chunk of cash, but marry you and let you stay here?"
"It was Rin's choice, so who are you?"
"Inuyasha Murashu," the man answered, "why are you still standing there?"
"Huh?"
"It's a rule that if a female runs into one of the Murashu brothers that woman must run to the kitchen, get a cup of tea to offer to the brother, and then get on your knees and stay at his side all night and follow his every order till the sun goes up. It is the golden rule my father made up and our family is very old fashioned. You sat on me so now you must serve me."
Kagome noticed how serious he sounded and she didn't want to bring any offense to anybody, "okay."
Inuyasha stared at her wide eyed when he actually saw her going towards the door, "what kind of stupid wench are you? I was just kidding stupid."
Kagome whirled around and faced him knowing she had been tricked, "my name isn't stupid! Its Kagome!"
"Well Kagome," Inuyasha spat, "you aren't going to survive living with Sesshoumaru if you obey every order you hear."
"A would never obey a damn thing that jerk tells me to!" she recoiled angrily.
"Then why did you obey me?" he questioned with crossed arms and a smirk.
"Because you seemed a bit more scary."
"Wait a minute! You think I am scarier then Sesshoumaru?"
Kagome just simply nodded.
Inuyasha just laughed, "that's a first. Sometimes even I am afraid of Sesshoumaru."
"Well even though Sesshoumaru is scary he has never ordered me to serve him all night."
"I originally said that to see if you would recognize it. Sesshoumaru tells women that when he is playing weird sex games with them."
Kagome had fury in her eyes again, "I would never have sex with him!"
"You two really are in a stupid marriage then."
Sesshoumaru headed out of office building he had just had an important meeting in. This had to have been his ninth time doing business in China, but yet it felt like the first. This was the first time he had ever left work without a female from the meeting wanting to join him in his bedroom. Maybe it was because they all knew about his matrimony, but he didn't know for sure so he was unable to explain that this marriage meant nothing to him.
He stuck his hand in his pocket and felt his cell phone. It was most likely late at night in Tokyo now so calling to 'keep in touch' as Kagome put it would be out of the question. Talking to Rin on the phone seemed like an unintelligent thing to do anyways. He hardly had anything to talk to the girl about when he was face to face with her, what could he possibly say when they were miles away from each other? He just wasn't the paternal type.
It took a few minutes before he broke out of his train of thought and realized he was in downtown Hong Kong. He probably took a wrong turn when he was thinking about how he would raise Rin. Knowing for a fact that downtown in this city was worse than the area Kagome use to live in he turned around to leave.
"Oh come back hottie," whined a voice.
Sesshoumaru turned around and saw a woman leaning against a light pole. Her hair was long and black and pulled into two long black pigtails. She wore a tiny leather skirt with a silk red hoocie top. It was easy to tell she was a prostitute.
"That's right I am talking to you," she said in a very seductive manor as she moved her legs in a way that let Sesshoumaru see her curves, "the name is Mei Lin."
(That's right a prostitute version of Mei Lin from Card Captors. I don't like that bitch so you know you she will suffer greatly at some point in this story.)
Sesshoumaru thought about this. Maybe he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable if he slept with someone like he did all the other times he visited this town. It would be a bit different though since she didn't want his company and instead she wanted money, but sex was sex and the great thing about China was that no one gave a damn about who he was. This meant he could do whatever the hell he wanted and it wouldn't be in a magazine the next day.
He walked up closer to the sexy Chinese woman and stuck a few hundred dollars down her tight skirt as he whispered in her ear, "you have just offended me so now you must serve me. We can start with a cup of tea in my hotel room."
"So you are Sesshoumaru's younger brother," Kagome stated the obvious while she was still alone with Inuyasha in the reading room.
"Half brother!" Inuyasha corrected her immediately, "so what are you doing in here this late anyways? I heard you work for that bastard Naraku. I bet you have to be at work tomorrow."
"What is it that you and Sesshoumaru have against Naraku?" Kagome asked curiously, "he has been pretty nice to me lately."
"The question should be, what didn't Naraku do?" was the only answer Inuyasha provided her with, "so what are you doing in here?"
"I don't have my own bedroom yet," she answered as she sat on the couch next to him, "so right now I am staying in guess room, but it is pretty cold in there was I wanted to be next to the fire."
"You could have turned up the heat," he told her in a way that made her think she was the dumbest person on earth.
"The room has it's own climate?"
"Duh. And I bet you can't find the room either."
"This house is too big."
"Well you aren't sleeping in here this is where I do my homework," he told her, "I was just resting for a bit when you sat on me."
"Homework?" Kagome questioned.
"Sesshoumaru isn't going to support me and let me live here for free anymore," Inuyasha told her, "but I don't want to get some kind of minimum wage job and live in some trailer or apartment so I got Sesshoumaru to agree to pay for my college so I can get a good job when I leave."
"That sounds very smart. I would hate it if someone supported me while I lay around and did nothing. That's why I kept my job."
"You can go sleep in my room. The door is directly across from this room. I have an electric heater and everything in it. By the looks of all the work that was piled on me today I am not going to be sleeping for awhile."
Kagome smiled, "thank you Inuyasha. By the way how much do you think it would cost if I tried to get a taxi to come out here and then take me to work?"
"You are so stupid," Inuyasha said again, "just get in the limo and Sesshoumaru's driver will take you to work and will come back to take you home."
"Taking a limo to work?" she asked herself.
"Never mind," Inuyasha announced, "that's not a good idea seeing as how the reporters will be all over you and Sesshoumaru doesn't want you to say a single word to anyone. Just find me when you are ready to leave and I will take you there. Those stupid camera people know better then to get in my way."
"Thanks again. I will probably buy my own car after work since I don't have to buy a house."
"I will take you there as well. Even car salesmen know better then to mess with me."
"As long as you take me to a junkie one. I am just going to buy myself a cheap dependable car."
"Cheap and dependable," Inuyasha said to himself, "got it. You can do whatever you want when it comes to your own car and the limos, but if you touch even one of Sesshoumaru's cars he will try and kill you."
"I am surprised I am still alive after I wrecked his old Mustang."
Kagome giggled, "Well thanks for everything Inuyasha. I will see you in the morning."
"See ya," Inuyasha waved his hand as she left the room.
(End of Chapter 14)
AN: I have nothing to say about this chapter. I made it to introduce Inuyasha of course and then Mei Lin the Chinese prostitute who is going to play a big role in the story. Oh and to answer a question neither Sesshoumaru or Naraku bought out Kaede's company. It was just another catering company that did.
Cagalli Yula Athha Fangirl: Rin's mother is Kaguya. Kagura is the kindergartin teacher. If you don't know who Kaguya is then you should watch the second Inuyasha movie. I thought she would be the perfect one to play the role of supermodel.
sheenachi: Next time give me a rhyme that has some orange in it.
