Public

"Innocent. Right. You're carrying his baby, remember?" Sango sighed and set down her tools. Leaning back in her chair, she studied her friend, worry obvious in dark brown eyes.

"I know," she murmured, blue eyes growing stormy with emotion. "I know. And I do like him, a lot. I just don't know what goes through his head or how he feels. There's chemistry, so much of it that I feel like I'm going up in flames when he touches me."

Her head tilted to the side, Sango smiled a little. "Kagome…do you know anything about the Sesshoumaru the public knows?"

Surprised, she looked up and shook her. "What do you mean, the public?"

The Ambassador grinned and leaned forward, only to stop as a jingle sounded in the room.

Kagome jumped and then sighed at the familiar sound. Reaching into her purse, she pulled out a pager, frowning. "I have to go. You'll tell me later what you meant?"

Still grinning, she nodded. "I will. Though I'll have to tease you about it first."
