A First for Everything
Chapter 5
"Mr. Tashio, your brother is on his way up."
Sesshomaru lifted his head, shifting back into his chair. Inuyasha must be very upset if he was coming all the way up. From his office, he could hear footsteps pounding in his directing, as well as curses flying through the air. And true to the warning, the door slammed open seconds later, revealing a raging Inuyasha.
"I'm going to kill you," he screamed, running over to Sesshomaru.
His fist flew in the air, but Sesshomaru caught it with ease. Tightly squeezing and twisting his brother's wrist, he glared at Inuyasha.
"Calm yourself, mutt. I have no time for this," he threatened.
Inuyasha pulled his hand away, his lips curling up into a snarl. "What are you planning? What are you going to do to her?"
Sesshomaru calmly raised his eyes to Inuyasha, glaring at him with such ferocity that Inuyasha backed away. His voice was low, almost dangerous.
"You cannot stop what has already happened. It would be in your best interest if you just let the matter go."
Inuyasha scowled, tossing his head from side to side. "I know you're up to something, you ass. I don't know what, but I will find out."
Sesshomaru snorted distastefully before replying, "And how will you do that, mutt?"
"I'm going to the dinner on Thursday so I can keep an eye on you," he stated, his gold eyes glowing with challenge.
The taller man cocked his eyebrow slightly, his interest caught for the moment. "How did you find out about that dinner? I never recall disclosing this information to you."
"Feh. Can't you just talk normally! Damn! Miroku told me. He heard the rumors of the client being pretty and called me to see if it was true," Inuyasha said.
"You are not invited, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said, his interest now replaced with annoyance.
"Like hell I'm not! I'll get Kagome to invite me," he said, his arms crossing in front of his chest stubbornly.
Sesshomaru's gaze turned lethal and he unconsciously cracked his knuckles. Inuyasha gulped slightly, but held his ground. Having Inuyasha there would complicate his plans, but he also knew that his stupid half-brother was too stupid to realize that his life was in danger if he went. He would just have to dispose of his brother at the restaurant. That shouldn't be difficult.
"Fine," Sesshomaru replied, turning his head away from Inuyasha.
"I said I was com....wait. What?" Inuyasha asked in confusion.
"And I said fine, shit for brains. Now leave my office before I change my mind," he replied dryly, glaring at his brother from the corner of his eye.
Snorting, Inuyasha shot a defiant glance at his brother, proud of that fact that he had won, or that he had seemingly won. He strode out of the room, tossing his long silver hair over his shoulder as he exited. Sesshomaru's eyes still followed him, plans beginning to form in his head. He would not be able to seduce Kagome if his bastard brother was getting in the way.
Kagome sighed as she pulled another shirt from her drawer. She had been packing all morning. Inuyasha had called her last night saying that she would be moving to another hotel this afternoon. She did not know why, nor did she know why Inuyasha had sounded so angry on the phone.
A knock at her door pulled Kagome out of her thoughts. She walked over to the door, her shirt still in her hand. She stood up on her tippy toes, looking through the peep hole. A smile spread across her face as she saw who it was. Opening up the door wide, Kagome mocked curtsied, the smile still wide on her face.
"Mr. Tashio, a pleasure to see you," she said.
"What's up, Kags," Inuyasha replied solemnly, walking into the room.
He padded over to a chair, plopping down lazily. Closing the door, Kagome moved over to the suitcase, folding the shirt in her hand in the process.
"I'm almost done," Kagome announced.
"Ok," Inuyasha mumbled, seemingly staring off into space.
Inuyasha's quiet behavior confused Kagome. As she reached into the drawer for another piece of clothing, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Inuyasha swerved his eyes to her form, slightly surprised that she had asked him that. "Nothing's wrong," he replied.
But Kagome wasn't buying it. "Yeah, and I'm Martha Washington. Now spill it."
He sighed, turning his head away from her. "Why didn't you tell me that you slept with my brother?" he asked harshly, upset that she had kept this from him.
Kagome stopped moving, her hand in mid-reach. Her head turned slowly to him, her eyes wide in shock. "How did you find out?" she asked, her voice low.
"Fluffy told me. But why didn't you?" he demanded, turning to face Kagome.
She dropped her yes to the floor as she answered, "I didn't know who he was until after the meeting."
"Feh," Inuyasha said, folding his arms across his chest. His eyes softened slightly as he saw the sadness in her eyes. She was telling the truth.
Kagome walked to him, kneeling down beside the chair. Reaching up, she gave Inuyasha a quick hug. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it would upset you so much," she whispered, flashing Inu a weak smile.
"I'm not upset," Inuyasha complained.
Kagome laughed lightly as she stood up, walking away to finish her packing.
"Just don't let him take advantage of you, Kags," he warned.
"I wasn't planning on it, but why are you so concerned?" she asked.
"Well he is the one who wanted the hotel change. I know he has something planned."
Kagome's brows scrunched together, confused. "Why did he want me to change hotels?" she inquired, her hands moving to rest on her hips.
Inuyasha scoffed, bringing his voice into a low tone to mock his brother while making quote symbols with his hands. "I prefer the way silk sheets feel on my skin."
Sesshomaru sat at the table, swirling the wine in his glass lazily as he half listened to Miroku talk about the beautiful woman sitting a few tables away. Inuyasha and Hojo were also at the table, patiently waiting for Kagome to arrive. Sesshomaru glanced at his watch. 8:01. She was late. He still had no idea as to how he would remove Inuyasha from the picture, but he doubted that he had to worry about it.
"Sorry I'm late," rang a cheerful and vibrant voice.
Sesshomaru raised his head, his lips curling upwards as he saw the beauty before him. Her sleek black dress hung to her frame, dipping low across the chest to reveal her smooth skin. Her long ebony hair fell across her shoulders, framing her attractive face.
Standing up, he bowed to Kagome before walking over to her. "I'm glad you could make it, Miss Higurashi," he said smoothly, boring his eyes into her.
Kagome was impressed with the regal man that walked up to her. He wore a simple, but elegant, black suit with a gold tie that brought out his striking eyes. His long silver hair was pulled back from his handsome face, held together by a small black band in a low ponytail. She held her breath as he took her hand in his and led her closer to the table.
"Miss Kagome Higurashi, may I present to you the men that will be handling your account, Hojo and Miroku. And I assume that you already know Inuyasha," he coldly introduced.
Hojo and Miroku rose, bowing to her politely. Hojo outstretched his hand, smiling as Kagome shook his hand. "The rumors of your beauty are understatements, Miss. It is a pleasure to be working with you," he said kindly.
Kagome blushed slightly and retracted her hand, only to have it grasped by Miroku. He kissed her knuckles softly before looking into her eyes. "I would be honored if you would consider bearing my children, Kagome," he spoke.
Kagome's face turned beet red as she chuckled nervously, backing away slightly from the man. But she was saved by both of the silver haired men. Both growled softly at the man, causing Miroku to back away swiftly, raising his hands in a symbol of defeat. Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru, who returned the look with equal furry. Kagome stood mystified between the two, raising an eyebrow at their odd behavior. 'Why do all men I meet growl?' she thought.
"Come, let's begin," Sesshomaru offered, holding a chair out for Kagome. He pushed the chair in when she sat; making sure his fingers brushed her bare arms briefly as he did so.
"Well, you can be a gentleman," she mused, stiffening slightly at his touch.
"Feh. He's just a bastard," Inuyasha cut In As he picked up the tumbler by his plate.
Sesshomaru looked at his brother, sizing him up before he replied. "I don't know why you insist upon calling me a bastard, Inuyasha. I do know who my father is."
Inuyasha cocked his head to the side, his eyes displaying confusion once again. "What?"
"Never mind, dear brother," Sesshomaru said, smirking at his brother.
Kagome giggled, holding her hand up to her mouth to cover it.
"What are you laughing at, Kags?" Inuyasha whined, growing angry as Miroku began to laugh as well.
"It's nothing, Inu. Don't worry about it," she said, reaching over to pat his arm comfortingly as she laughed some more.
Inuyasha growled lightly, getting irritated. "Nothing my ass."
Slapping his friend on his back, Miroku leaned over to his friend. "Inuyasha, a bastard is someone that does not know the identity of their father."
Inuyasha's eyes grew wide and his face flushed slightly. Turning his head, he responded by saying, "feh."
Sesshomaru cleared his throat, glaring angrily at Inuyasha, "Miss Higurashi, Miroku and Hojo will be responsible for all aspects of your account at Tokyo Productions, as you know."
"Yes," Miroku continued, gaining Kagome's attention. "We have a few strategies for promotion right now that we will be going over with you next week," he continued, his eyes traveling down to Kagome's cleavage once in a while.
Sessomaru's mask remained cold and hard, but the rage inside of him was growing. 'These fools will only get in my way. I must dispose of them soon,' he thought. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not hear Hojo begin speaking, or Inuyasha's jokes on his leper friend. He was only pulled back when Kagome rose to excuse herself to the restroom.
The men stood as she left, exercising the manners that they had been taught. "Man, look at that ass," Miroku exclaimed as she walked away.
As they sat back down, Sesshomaru turned to the men, his eyes angry slits as he addressed them. "Leave now."
Miroku and Hojo looked shocked, not expecting that demand to come from him. Inuyasha glared back at his brother, amber eyes filled with anger. "We're not going anywhere, asshole," he growled, leaning slightly over the table.
Sesshomaru's hand snapped out, wrapping around Inuyasha's neck. "If you wish to keep your life, then you will leave with the others," he ordered slowly, his voice dripping with venom.
Inuyasha's mouth dropped open slightly, beginning to struggle for breath from the tight hold.
"But Sesshomaru, shouldn't we talk further to her about the account plans?" Hojo inquired carefully, his wide eyes staring at the brother's display.
"I will personally be handling her account now. There is no need for any of you to stay. Now tell me, brother, do you value your life?" he replied.
Inuyasha pulled back, trying to escape from Sesshomaru's grasp, but it was no use. Closing his eyes, he nodded his head briefly, snarling as the hand left his throat.
"Fucking Fluffzilla. Don't think this is over yet," he growled as he stood up from the table. He motioned for the others to follow him, quickly exiting the restaurant. Sesshomaru shifted in his chair, bringing the glass of wine to his lips. This situation with his brother was getting more complicated.
Kagome sauntered back slowly to the table, in no big hurry to return to the prying eyes of Miroku. Confusion crossed her face as she neared the table-Sesshomaru was the only one left.
"Where did everyone go?" Kagome asked when she neared the table.
Sesshomaru turned his eyes to her, smirking slightly. "They left," he said vaguely.
Kagome frowned as she sat down, shooting him an annoyed look. "Really? Thank you, Mr. Obvious. Why did they leave?" she retorted.
Looking at her for a moment, Sesshomaru took in the way her blue eyes shone and how her ruby lips were moist and waiting. Turning away, he looked out to the dance floor. He stood up, his rain forming a plan of seduction as he looked over the smooth marble floor. Holding his hand out to Kagome, he looked down at her, locking his eyes with hers.
"Dance with me," he said, somehow making the request seem like an order.
Kagome looked at his hand briefly, considering his request before traveling up his body to his face. "If I dance with you, will you tell me what happened?" she asked curiously, her eyes asking him to comply.
His eyelids half lowered as he replied, "Yes.'
Shrugging her shoulders lightly, Kagome placed her hand in his, allowing him to drag her out of her seat and to the dance floor. He turned to face her, pulling her body close to his as he wrapped a hand around her waist tightly. He held her other hand lightly, starring into her eyes as he felt her body heat against him. She was making him aroused once again.
"You look beautiful tonight, Kagome," he said softly, pleased with the way that he made her blush.
"Are you trying to hit on me?" she asked, relaxing in his hold.
He chuckled to herself. Nothing was ever easy with her. "No, I'm just telling you the truth."
Her blush deepened, and she darted her eyes from him to the rest of the room. "What about our deal?" she brought up, hoping to change the subject.
He smiled slightly at her, moving his hand slowly across her back as he prepared for his move. Kagome shivered at his touch, praying that she wouldn't fall under his spell once again. Sesshomaru spun her out at arms lengths, watching her body twirl in the soft light. Her dress flared out at the legs, allowing his eyes a better view of their shape. He pulled her back in, her hair fanning out as he did so, crashing softly against his cheek when she returned to the circle of his arms.
Leaning into the shorter woman, he whispered softly in his ear, "I'm handling your account now. There was no need for the others."
His breath on her ear made her heart beat faster. He was handeling her account? 'Oh no,' she thought. Suddenly, her head jerked back from his, her eyes flashing in furry. He was momentarily taken aback from her reaction. She was not falling under his spell, yet.
"You asshole," she hissed furiously.
'She's been around my brother too much,' he thought wryly. "What did I do wrong?" he asked, his curiosity rising.
"You didn't use a fucking condom the other night," she said, her nails digging into his shoulder.
He had forgotten about that. No wonder why she was so upset. His hand ran up her back, trying to soothe her rage. He couldn't seduce her while she was angry.
"Calm down," he whispered.
"Calm down? Why should I! I might be pregnant. You won't have to carry the baby to term!" she whispered angrily.
"Kagome," he whispered, leaning down so that his face was directly before hers. "I'm impotent. There is no way you could bare a child from me."
Her eyes widened, her grip on him loosening. "Oh..." she stammered. "I'm sorry...wait!" she cried, her rage building again.
He held back a growl. 'Now what is it?' he thought.
"How do I know that I'm not going to get an STD from you? Are you dirty?" she asked him hurriedly.
"I only have herpes," he whispered sarcastically.
"What!" she said, her voice rising.
"I was only joking," he replied quickly, pulling her closer to him. "You have no need to worry. I'm checked regularly. I am clean."
Sighing, she relaxed once again, resting her forehead lightly against his in relief. She raised her hand, slapping him lightly on the shoulder.
"Jerk, just don't scare me like that again," she mumbled, pulling her head away from his.
Leaning her back, he sent her into a low dip, his one hand dropping hers and traveling down her side. Hiking his hand under her thigh, he holstered it up, placing it on his hip. "So there will be a next time?" he asked seductively. 'Hook.'
Her eyes stared up at his, her lips parted and trembling at his action. 'Line.'
"I never..." she started.
Moving down, he softly kissed her neck, smiling as he heard her gasp. 'And sinker.'
