WD: Yay! Now you get to see what happens to Kagome-chan! Poor poor Kagome-
chan I-
Kagome: Now what are you planning for me?
WD: Ummm....it's a surprise. And Inu-chan doesn't know because I rewrote the rough drafts and only I know where they are.
Sesshoumaru: You mean these....*holds up a bunch of papers*...that I found hidden in the Snickers bag.
WD: No! Give them back Sesshou-chan!
~*~Last time:
The badger yelled as she fell from the tall building, and made one last grab for something to save her, which happened to be Kagome's foot. The miko yelled out for help as the youkai dragged her out the window. ~*~
~*~Chapter 7: Fallen~*~
Kagome felt the air rush past her as she fell down the side of GT headquarters. Kagome didn't want her eyes to open but felt them open away, she screamed again as she now saw the ground rush towards her.
"HELP!" Kagome yelled out in desperation. She heard the badger youkai laugh as they both tumbled towards the fastly approaching ground. Another 200 feet or so and it would be over.
Suddenly Kagome felt herself stop falling and watched as the badger continued falling, getting smaller and smaller until the youkai hit the street below. Kagome looked up and saw Sesshoumaru holding her by the back of her shirt as he perched on a flag pole.
"Sess-Sesshoumaru!" Kagome cried out, never more happy to see the Taiyoukai in her life.
"Much as I would love to hang around, I believe we should get back to my office." Sesshoumaru wrapped an arm around her and leapt back into his office through the broken window.
"Sesshoumaru....you saved me......" Kagome said.
"And have to clean my office all by myself?" Sesshoumaru asked, smirking. He was completely surprised when Kagome brought him into a hug.
"Thank you." Was all she said.
'Great....another shirt to clean.' Was all Sesshoumaru thought.
The rest of day was spent cleaning up Sesshoumaru's office. Kagome sighed and tossed another water bottle to the workers replacing the window she and the badger youkai had flown out of.
"Are you sure it's alright?" Kagome asked, looking at the people measuring the window space. Kagome wasn't sure if Sesshoumaru should have called people...some might start to wonder what had happened.
"You can't tell?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Tell what?" Kagome replied.
"Youkai sealing spells have gotten better over the years." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked at the workers and tried to see past the people and gasped as she saw three gecko youkai, a Japanese marten and a white tailed eagle working on the window instead of humans.
"Excuse me." One of the gecko youkai said. Kagome jumped out of the way, he looked like a normal human.
"Drop the sealing spells." Sesshoumaru said. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, but he narrowed his eyes and all the youkai dropped their sealing spells. The three gecko youkai had the sticky hands like the little geckos that ran around Kagome's house. The Japanese marten had marten ears and a tail while the white tailed eagle suddenly had huge wings coming out of his back.
"But....why youkai?" Kagome asked.
"That's a simple question." One of the geckos answered, then he jumped up and stuck himself onto Sesshoumaru's ceiling, moving around with ease. The eagle flew out of the broken window and back in while the marten hung by his tail from a nearby flag pole.
"Humans can't do the things we can. We get it done twice as fast." The eagle said, Kagome nodded.
"Now then...I still need to do some more work, follow me Kagome." Kagome followed Sesshoumaru out of the room and watched as he moved into a smaller office and turned on the computer in there.
"Does no one check these things?" The Taiyoukai growled at the down computer. They continued walking and passed the maintance worker. "You."
"Wha...what?" The maintance worker had been sleeping at the copy machine he was suppose to be fixing. When he saw Sesshoumaru standing there he scrambled up and stared bowing to the Taiyoukai. "I'm sorry! I just sorta dozed off! I-"
"You will fix the computer in that room." Sesshoumaru growled and moved on. Most of the offices were full and finally Kagome and Sesshoumaru were forced to use a small sized cubical. Sesshoumaru took up most of the room in the cubical and Kagome was shut out.
"Umm...where should I sit?" Kagome asked....looking for a chair to maybe pull up.
"There." Sesshoumaru pointed to the computer desk. Kagome sighed and squeezed in next to the computer, her legs were getting too warm from the computer.
~*~
About 2 hours later, Kagome wasn't sure as she had fallen asleep, Sesshoumaru sighed and turned the computer off.
"Wha...what time is it?" Kagome asked sleepily.
"7:23pm." Sesshoumaru stated.
"What!? I was suppose to be home 2 hours ago!" Kagome jumped off the desk and was about to run to the door when Sesshoumaru stopped her.
"And pray tell, how do you plan on getting home if you run? I have the keys." Sesshoumaru said, smirking and twirling the keys around his finger. Kagome growled and followed him to the car, wondering what her mother would say when she got home.
"What will my mother say?"
"I will explain to her that it is my fault that you are late."
"But-"
"But nothing." Kagome sighed...it was no use changing the Taiyoukai's mind. As the car pulled by the shrine Kagome's mother came running down the stairs, a wooden cooking spoon in her hand.
"Kagome!" Her mother yelled, before her mother could yell at her daughter Sesshoumaru intercepted her.
"It is my fault." Sesshoumaru said. "I wanted to get more work done and insisted Kagome stay with me until I was done, unfortunately I lost track of time."
"I see....." Kagome mother looked from Sesshoumaru to Kagome and then back to Sesshoumaru. "Well....I suppose.....would you like to stay for dinner?" Her mother chirped happily.
"I-"Sesshoumaru was cut off by Kagome's mother.
"Alright, I'll have Souta set another chair for you." With that Kagome's mother ran back up the shrine's steps, smelling dinner burning in the oven.
"Ummm....sorry about my mom." Kagome said.
"No need for apoliges, the food does smell good." Sesshoumaru smirked and left the dumbfounded Kagome by the car.
~*~
"Wow! Are you really that rich?" Souta asked Sesshoumaru. Kagome hit her little brother on the hand with her chopsticks.
"That's rude Souta." Kagome said.
"So?" Souta asked. "So are you really that rich?"
"Yes." Sesshoumaru answered, taking another bit of the chicken Kagome's mother had made.
"Wow......and you can boss people around all day?" Souta asked. "Could you tell them to walk backwards all day? Or wear boxers on their heads? Or jump out a window?"
"Yes. But why waste money replacing the glass from the windows they jumped out of." Sesshoumaru smirked.
"Cool! Is it true if you shut down GT then lots of the world would be in trouble?" Souta asked.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru answered.
"Cool!"
"Could you-"
"Probably."
"Cool!"
"Souta! That's enough questions for now." Kagome said, interrupting her younger brother. Souta shrugged and wolfed down his food, trying to ask more question with his mouth full of food but failing. Sesshoumaru sipped his green tea and watched Kagome and Souta argue.
'The younger brat reminds me of Inuyasha when he was a pup.' Sesshoumaru thought, remembering the little hanyou grabbing at his tail.
"Do you wanna play video games after dinner?" Souta asked, looking up at Sesshoumaru.
"Souta...I don't think he likes your kind of video games, chopping people's heads off for points." Kagome said, Sesshoumaru caught her eye and smirked while Kagome remembered what Sesshoumaru was 500 years ago.
"Well....what about chess?" Souta asked.
"You wouldn't last 4 moves." Sesshoumaru said, looking the boy in the eyes.
"I bet you 10 dollars that I could beat you!" Souta said, jumping up to grab his chess board. Kagome's mother and Grandfather started washing the dishes while Kagome watched the war wage on between Sesshoumaru and Souta.
"Foolish boy." Sesshoumaru said, moving his pawn.
"Oh yeah, well....watch this!" Souta said, moving his knight to take Sesshoumaru's pawn.
"You fell for it." Sesshoumaru said, moving his bishop. "Checkmate."
"What?!" Souta looked at the board in confusion. "Best 2 out of 3."
"Fine." Sesshoumaru said, setting another trap for the boy to fall into. The next game lasted 15 minutes longer than the one before, but like the last game...
"Checkmate." Sesshoumaru said.
"No! You must be cheating!" Souta said.
"I don't cheat." Sesshoumaru said calmly.
"Fine. But I get to be white next time." Kagome's little brother turned the board around and moved first.
"Foolish boy." Sesshoumaru said. Souta looked at his piece...unsure whether or not he should put it there.....Kagome sighed in the backround and Souta moved his piece into a different spot, where Sesshoumaru quickly took it.
"Hey wait!" Souta said. "You can't do that!"
"And why not?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Because you said that I was foolish for moving my pawn to the first spot!"
"It's not my fault my words misled you."
"Fine....one more game...that'll decide the winner of the whole night." Souta said.
"If you wish for another defeat I will gladly give it to you, but don't think I'll go easy on you like I have been." Sesshoumaru answered.
"I'll make you eat your words." Souta replied. And so their game started, Souta moved first while Sesshoumaru calmly took in all the positives and negatives of his moves. He smirked and decided to use a play that hadn't been used in ages.
"Check." Sesshoumaru started, Souta looked horrified as Sesshoumaru finished, "and Mate."
"Wh...how.."
"I believe I am the winner of this game." Sesshoumaru said, smirking at his 12-0 record for the night. "And now if you'll all excuse me, I must be getting home." The Taiyoukai said to everyone else in the house. Kagome's mother nodded and insisted that he take some of the leftover food.
"I want a rematch!" Souta said angerly, but then yawned tiredly, "at least later...."
"See you bright and early tomorrow Kagome." Sesshoumaru said, walking out the door and down the steps.
