BEFORE
Kagome cleared her throat and closed her eyes she opened them smiled and walked towards Sesshoumaru, "I make it a point to know my clients name's the least you can do is remember mine it is not woman but Kagome." She said it all inches away from Sesshoumaru's face her voice calm and eerie. Sesshoumaru merely looked at her wondering why the human smelled differently from most humans. It could not be because she was miko, he had encountered mikos before and they always smelled as bad as most humans. Kagome backed way a little, "Goodnight Sesshoumaru I will see you tomorrow."
NOW~
CHAPTER 6
Kagome was the first one up the next morning so far nothing had happened, but then again she didn't think something would happen so soon. She was in the kitchen where some servants were up making breakfast. Kagome sat there talking to them one girl in particular, Sen, was quite talkative.
"Both Masters of the house are so temperamental I am surprised they haven't killed each other." She spoke while making waffle batter.
"How long have you worked for the Ataki's?"
"About eight years. In all that time I've seen and heard weird things but I keep to myself not wanting to get fired you know. The one really odd thing is that Master Sesshoumaru Ataki, well he has never had a wife and from what Jaken tells me, a few drinks in him get him talking, he hasn't had a relationship or one night stands with women for most of his life. Not even a boyfriend, and mind you he hates to be thought of that way, but really what would you think?"
Kagome simply nodded. At that moment Sango and Miroku walked through the door, Kagome checked her watch, "Exactly at six guys."
Sango smiled at her, Miroku was in the back talking to one of the younger maids. Sango turned around and smacked him upside the head, "Hentai, lay off the servants!"
Kagome giggled, "Poor Miroku, Even when you are married to Sango you hit on others."
"I wasn't hitting on her, I was simply making polite conversation, and Sango-chan is the only one for me." Sango gave Miroku a death glare, "So how was the first night here Kagome?"
"It was all right, no disturbances and I stayed up late with Shippou and Rin." Miroku gave a knowing smile at this, "Kagome do you think it's wise he goes for the Ataki girl, I mean you know with a youkai father and all?" Miroku was like a big brother to Shippou and would give him advice even though Shippou was older.
"I think he'll be fine, ah and speaking of the devil himself." Shippou walked in with Rin tailing behind.
"Morning guys." Shippou said stifling a yawn. Rin simply beamed at all of them. Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Rin made their way into the dining hall and sat down.
"Kagome did you finally get a look at the files?" Shippou said taking a sip of orange juice.
"Yeah I did and I am more then certain that Naraku and Kikyo are after them but the others could either be working with them or not. George Kio, Kira Tomak, and Eri Fatami have all been scorned and humiliated most likely they want revenge. The only thing is I can't find any connections between any of them, none of them are tied together except for George Kio and Kira Tomak, they used to be married. Other then that, there is nothing to bind them together not even a business merger."
"Perhaps we should go talk to them, Miroku can watch Inuyasha, and I'll go talk to them today." Sango was great at interrogations without the people knowing it. She would state her business and ask inane questions that seem to have to do something with the case but when they least expect it they've given her information she can use.
"All right, Inuyasha should be fine since today he and Sesshoumaru are taking Rin where ever she wants to go and Shippou and I will be there as well."
Rin gave a toothy grin and placed her head on Shippou's shoulder. "So where are we going Rin?" Shippou placed an arm around her waist bringing her closer to him.
"Rin.I mean, I want to go to the carnival!" Everyone groaned the carnival was in Tokyo today and it usually attracted a mass crowd. This made the job for the protectors a lot more difficult. Shippou begged Rin to choose some other place but she had been cooped up in the house for a long time and wanted to go there. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha walked down to breakfast short after, they found everyone already at the table and they seemed to be arguing. He cleared his throat and everyone looked up at them.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!" Rin ran up and jumped on Sesshoumaru he patted her head lovingly and she jumped off.
"Aren't you getting a little too old to be doing that kid?" Inuyasha said with a smirk, Rin simply stuck her tongue out at him and sat down next to Shippou.
"Sesshoumaru-sama can we go to the carnival today? Can we?" Rin smiled sweetly at Sesshoumaru, he couldn't refuse her anything.
"Of course." Everyone inwardly groaned but said nothing else.
~*~*~ After breakfast and much planning it was decided that Miroku would stay in contact with Kagome at all times and that he would guard Inuyasha at all times. Kagome was to be with Sesshoumaru and Shippou with Rin. Shippou would also have to stay in contact with Kagome at all times.
They all went to their rooms to get ready, Kagome went through her closet and the things she brought with her, she finally ended up wearing baggy cargo jeans and a black tank top. She placed a small handgun in the side leg pocket and grabbed her glasses off the table. She headed downstairs to find everybody but Rin ready.
They waited about five minutes when Rin finally came down she wore cargo khaki capri's and a one strap shirt that lengthened at one side. Shippou smiled at her and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. They all headed out and made sure to have the equipment they needed.
Inuyasha went in his own car with Miroku while Sesshoumaru took everyone else.
Meanwhile..
"Excuse me, I'm here to see Mr. George Kio, my name is Sango Hiroten."
"Yes he can see you, go right ahead."
Sango walked into the office, a man slightly shorter then Sesshoumaru, with black hair and blue eyes sat in a large leather chair. He asked Sango to sit down and she did.
"Mr. Kio I am here on business, perhaps you are aware that there have been assassination attempts on the life of Mr. Sesshoumaru Ataki. I need to ask you a few questions about this."
"Am I a suspect?"
"Yes." Mr. Kio's eyes narrowed considerably but he spoke as calmly as ever.
"So he thinks I would go after him, I assume you know about my relationship with Rin?"
"Yes I do, I also know that it was Mr. Ataki that forbid you from seeing Rin again."
Sango heard a deep growl but let her words continue to take affect.
"That bastard made her leave me, I know she still loves me and is waiting for me and I won't allow him to destroy our happiness. Rin will be mine again!"
"Why do you want Rin, and were you not married when you began to date Rin?"
Mr. Kio looked at Sango quizzically, "Yes I was, but my wife didn't care at all. We were in the middle of a divorce settlement. She had other interests. Rin is perfect and pure and I want her for that."
"You aren't perfect and pure though, and neither was your wife.so why Rin's purity?"
He started to whisper to himself, "I want to taint it, make her a naughty girl."
Sango heard him saying this and simply excused herself.
'THAT was certainly sadistic.'
AT THE CARNVIAL
"RIN!! Get over here!" Shippou was running through a crowd of people to catch up to Rin who had run off to find the cotton candy.
"Can I have the big fluffy pink one please?" Rin was at the cotton candy booth. "RIN!" "SHIPPOU-chan, would you like one too?" "Rin, you can't run off like that you know something could have happened to you." "Rin's sorry, I mean, I'm sorry Shippou I promise not to run off again." Shippou gave her a big hug and said, "Ramen, Kagome" "You get her?" Kagome's voice was calm. "Yeah, she wanted cotton candy that's all." "All right make sure she doesn't run off again. Meet you at the Ferris Wheel." "Alright, chopsticks."
Shippou went towards the Ferris Wheel with Rin holding onto his arm, she happily ate the sugary cotton. She took some in her fingers and held it to Shippou's mouth. He looked at her puzzled for a minute before taking her hand and eating the candy. He licked her fingers because they were sugary, Rin giggled madly because she was ticklish almost everywhere and it didn't help when he kept grinning madly at her. He finally stopped having taken all the sugar off. He brought Rin closer to him and gave her a small peck on the lips tasting the sweet nectar on her lips from the candy.
"We should get going before your dad or Kagome kill us." Shippou said sounding a bit uncomfortable even after licking Rin's fingers. Rin simply smiled at him and stood on her tipy-toes and kissed Shippou chastely on the lips just like he did.
"You're right let's go." Rin took his hand and they resumed walking.
~*~*~ Kagome was waiting patiently with Sesshoumaru for Shippou and Rin, when she saw Rin kissing Shippou not too far off, she turned towards Sesshoumaru hoping to distract him from seeing them.
"Do you like carnivals Sesshoumaru?" "No" "Why not, is it the human smell?" "Yes." "Does Rin know you are a youkai?" "Yes" "Have you ever mated?" "." "Hello?"
"I haven't left." Sesshoumaru didn't like the question, he had never mated or 'loved' he thought it stupid and only for lesser youkai. 'Love' only brought pain and suffering he would not have Rin falling in love and feeling heart ache for if she did, the cause of that pain would immediately be torn to shreds.
"No, I have never mated." "Are you gay?" ".women, the last person to ask me that is now breathing through a tube." ".well aren't you touché." ".no, I am not gay." "You sure?" ".Do you have a death wish?" "No, I just find it odd that." Kagome was cut short when Sesshoumaru went to attack her; she dodged his attacks easily and simply grinned when it made him angrier. Sesshoumaru's claws were dripping poison and about to slash her when she caught his wrist. She pushed him against a wall with a strength that matched his own and held him there while he was in slight shock from her abilities. "You know Sesshoumaru; it's not good to attack those that might save your life." "Then don't provoke me wench." "I thought we talked about the name calling." "-.-." Kagome let him go and stood up smoothing her tank top and jeans. She had her back to him so she didn't see him stand behind her, without warning he wrapped his arms around her in a tight grip holding her hands in place, "Don't provoke me Higurashi.you are lucky I did not unleash my full demon rage on you."
Kagome inwardly grinned she knew he was holding back on her, "And you are lucky I didn't use all my miko powers on you."
Anyone that saw the way Sesshoumaru held Kagome would have said they were husband and wife, so when Shippou and Rin came up to them they were a bit shocked. "Kagome?" "Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"I can explain." They both said at the same time, Sesshoumaru abruptly let go of Kagome silently missing her in his arms. 'Damn human.'
Kagome missed his arms around her but the subject was now dropped. 'Stupid arrogant Demon.'
