Dear Mr. Tashou

Chapter 3

(A/n: YAAAAY! Two chapters in one night)

Previously:

Then she responded "Thursday 3 weeks from now at my usual time."

I made a mental note to clear that day from my company schedule.

I fought down a growl at his tone to her with his next statement "Anything else?"

I pulsed my aura at his door and felt hers try to rise up in response but instead of discomfort from the purity of her aura; serenity coated me. Such an odd woman.

The human male spoke gruffly "Come in"

Now:

Even before I opened the door I could smell his anger at being interrupted with the woman.

I walked in and indigo hair with dark blue highlights greeted me before she turned around and I saw a hunter green mask and schooled my face to look blank but Isaw that her gaze never left my eyes. Interesting.

My gaze never left the human woman.

"Mr. Taishou, what can I do for you?" Hojo asked, forcing his voice to remain calm.

Still, my gaze never left hers "Feudal Miko?"

She nodded and smiled "Yes sir."

I nodded and gave out a grunt. Good. It is her. Well, at least now I won't have to repeat myself.

"Mr. Hojo, I have a business venture and a proposition for you." I snapped when I saw his gaze look at her.

Why did she spark so much in me? It doesn't make sense, I haven't felt this confused since the woman that followed my wretched half-brother around… and that was 500 years ago.

"Well then, I'll just leave you, gentlemen, to discuss business. Oh, and Hojo?" She quipped.

I smelt his mood improve for a moment.

"Yes, Fuedal Miko?" He sighed.

"I want my earnings sent to me ASAP. A woman has to pay her bills you know." She smirked.

As soon as she took a step towards the door my body moved on its own volition, blocking her path.

She looked at me confused "Mr. Taishou?"

"Stay" I spoke, "I need a witness to sign."

Please, I might kill him if I'm left alone with him.

"Um… but I have to catch the bus," she whispered.

"I'll drive you home, Higa-" He started, eagerly.

"Hojo! Confidence! Privacy!" she snapped, interrupting him very quickly.

'Idiot!' I thought smugly at the male mortal.

"If it suits you Miss 'Miko' I can have my driver take you home," I spoke softly to her.

"Very well, Mr. Taishou. I will bear witness" She agreed.

I nodded and looked back at the incompetent male that wanted the Miko.

"To business then." I grinned.

I heard the human gulp and saw the small smile that the little Miko gave herself. I wish I knew why she was so familiar to me.

"Um… Miss 'Miko' please sit down." he asked with authority in his tone.

I couldn't stop the flaring of my aura. HOW DARE HE?! I give the orders around here. She has no need to follow his directions. Her smile fell and she glared at him. Intriguing still.

"Mr. Hojo, I understand this is your office but you do not order me to do anything." She snapped.

I smirked in achievement, she was really feisty. I really liked her… What the devil was wrong with me?! I shook my head and sat down in the chair to the left of his desk.

She sighed and looked at me, serenely "May I sit down, my lord?"

I was shocked that she knew proper etiquette from when I was young. I grunted an affirmative and nodded. She sat down with a grace few humans possess unless they had gone through extensive training. I fought back the smirk that fought to be one my lips.

"Mr. Taishou?" Hojo broke through my thoughts.

"Hn." I flared my aura.

The miko cleared her throat before she spoke: "Hojo asked if we could know why you called this impromptu meeting, my lord."

Crap, I had zoned out.

I schooled my face into business and spoke calmly "I want to buy the miko's contract and with it the right to know who I will be paying."

The miko actually dared to snort in laughter.

"No." The male gritted out "Get out oy my office."

The miko flared her aura in anger and I felt her anger intensify my own.

"Listen here Hojo! Sesshomaru does not offer anything lightly! If he wanted to he could close this place down! Keeping me tied to you via a contract will not and I repeat NOTget me to fall in love with you! You're worse than Miroku with Sango!" she yelled losing her temper.

"Miko?" I spoke.

She looked at me "Yes?"

"Who is this 'Miroku'?" I asked.

"A friend from my past." She sat down her mood clearly deflated "One that I will never be able to see again."

"Kags… I…" the mortal started.

"Do… NOT… Call… Me… THAT!" she yelled almost making my ears bleed.

Then it clicked who she was.

"Ka-Go-Me." I smirked.
