Chapter 13
Naomi eagerly follows while you and Kaori trudge on behind her. Sooner or later you get to the back of the building to which, the guard opens a secret door on the gate and then walks you three to the back door of the building. You, Naomi and Kaori, step through the door and quickly head to the elevator. You're finally one step toward finding truth, breaking up with Blade permanently and fixing your relationship with Sesshoumaru! Go you!
"If we didn't have to go to the top floor, we would have been out of here a lot faster…" Naomi says and you nod glumly.
"I should have stayed in the car…" Kaori says distantly.
"Well, it's too late! We're almost there!" Naomi replies.
Eventually you three, finally get to the top floor and gratefully get off the elevator. Just as you step foot on the floor, the fresh scent of pastries and croissants hits your face. You lick the drool from your lips in hunger; Naomi pulled you away from your lunch after only one bite to come here! And you hadn't eaten all morning because you slept in late and had to rush to school without breakfast! On the Brightside, you're missing the last four periods of school and Naomi promised to treat you and Kaori to WacDonalds!
"What the hell is this place? A damn bakery?" You mutter indignantly as the scent of food gets stronger as you walk farther into the office.
"It's probably lunchtime here and somebody's cooking for the whole office." Naomi suggests, flipping her hair.
"Well, um, how about we stop by there and pretend we're really interns?" You ask in reply to your growling stomach.
"No way, you have to talk to Blade first and then we'll go to WacDonalds and get something to eat!" Naomi answers.
"But I'm hungry now!" You whine.
"(Your name), don't whine, it's very unbecoming of a lady to whine!"
"Whatever…"
Mission 3, sneak away from Naomi and invade the food place! Naomi steps in front of the secretary's desk.
"Excuse me, miss, can we talk to Cole Blade? It's very urgent, because you see, my friend-"
"What are your names?" The woman asks impassively.
"Um, I'm Naomi; this is my sister Kaori and my friend (your name)."
"What are your phone numbers and addresses?"
Perfect distraction! Mission 3- Sneak and Invade initiated! You slowly slink away from the twins and the desk and quickly trail back down the hall. It was all going according to plan, yes, yes; you'd be eating those fresh, crispy pastries in no time. You pause and sniff in different directions and head down the hall, that held the strongest scent of food. You pause at the side of a door and slowly twist the knob and look inside. This was definitely the place, the food place!
You slowly step into the room, glancing around and noticing the three, clean, round tables in the middle of the room, all the three tables were filled with breakfast food, making your stomach growl louder. Set beside the walls, an oven, dishwasher, sink and pantry to your far left and to your right another sink and pantry and someone standing in front of a refrigerator. You gape in silent shock, at the person rummaging through the frig. Long, silvery tresses slid over the person's shoulders and down his back, this person couldn't be…? Why would he…?
The door suddenly closes, and the lock clicks loudly, getting the refrigerator dweller's attention. He turns toward you with an expressionless face, bearing the signature crescent moon and two slashes of maroon, on each side of his face. You also notice the "Kiss the Cook" apron, he's wearing.
"Sesshoumaru?" You ask skeptically. "What are you doing here?"
"My dear, I should be present when I'm doing important business with someone." He answers smoothly taking the oven mittens off his hands.
"But, why are you in here? In this kitchen, wearing an apron…" You ask a bit uneasy, walking farther into the room, and he follows you.
"I'm doing what it looks like I'm doing, cooking and putting my spare time to good use. Would you like something to eat?" He asks and you glance at him in skeptically, before noticing his bright olive green eyes.
"Um, no thanks, I'm here to, uh, talk to Blade anyway, maybe I'll see you later." You say quickly walking toward the door.
He quickly grabs your hand, pulling you back. "Whatever would you need to talk to Blade for, (your name)? Unless you're trying to be disloyal to me?" He hisses, tightening the grip on your wrist.
You jerk your hand away. "It's none of your business why I want to talk to Blade! And I'm not trying to be disloyal to you, I already am!" You say and turn the knob of the door to find it locked shut.
"How dare you, forsake me, woman, after all I've done for you!" He growls.
"You have done nothing for me, but threaten my life and pretend to be someone you're not… Kurayami!" You say turning toward the silver-haired imposter.
"So, you've figured me out, I see…"
"Anyone can see through that terrible disguise! And you didn't fool me for one minute!"
"Though, last year in the demon slayers' cave-." He says moving closer to you. "We would have gone much farther if tall, old and stony never showed up." The shape-shifting fox whispers.
"In your dreams-" You hiss darkly. "I wouldn't even look at you in that way if you took Sesshoumaru's body and was the last male on Earth."
"If things really became that dire, sweetheart, I'm sure you'd change your mind… And if that really does happen and you're telling the truth… Does that mean you would switch to women? Could I watch you and-"
"Get away from me, you sick pervert!" You snarl shoving the fox demon backwards.
"And who's going to make me? Huh, (your name)?" He asks grinning like he knew something you didn't know. "That rigid Lord Sesshoumaru isn't here, you're meddling friends are clueless, and-" He digs in his pocket and opens his palm before you to reveal a very pale shikon no tama. "-your precious shikon no tama can't save you now."
You gape at the jewel before glaring at the fox demon. "Give it back!"
"Who's going to make me? You definitely can't." He sneers pocketing the jewel once again.
"You don't know what I can do!" You yell, searching yourself for your ki. "Now give the shikon no tama back!"
"Oh? Want to start a fight do you?" He asks grinning, shoving both of his hands into his pockets. "Do bring it on, feeble priestess, I'll humor you."
Who does this pompous, sick, twisted, phony, smoking bastard think he is! First he shifts his stupid shape into Sesshoumaru, molests you, hoping that you won't notice any difference, now he stole the damn shikon no tama and flaunts it right in your face, as if he was about to get away with it… Where is your ki! You frantically search inside yourself for your missing ki, but find nothing but emptiness. Your ki couldn't have disappeared… Could it? You wince when you're suddenly lifted up roughly by your collar and slammed into the wall.
"So, I see you you've figured it out." He whispers blowing his breathe in your face. "You're nothing, but a regular human now… You're defenseless, you're powerless, you're… Vunerable." He drawls the last word wickedly.
You glare at the fox demon in disgust. Yours and his faces are now deathly close and you wouldn't be able to tell the different between his features and Sesshoumaru's if it wasn't for the fox's olive green eyes.
"You wouldn't mind anything, since I'm in this form would you?" He asks smirking, while moving even closer to your face.
If his smirk was a little less disturbing and a little more conceited, you could probably suppose it's Sesshoumaru with contacts, if you squint a little.
"Go fuck yourself, you sick bastard, have anyone ever told you what a breath mint is?" You sneer turning your head away from the fox demon's approaching lips.
"…I love it when you talk dirty priestess." He whispers, mock sorrowfully and you flinch in disgust and surprise when you feel his fingers trace over the mark on your neck, which was in plain site when you turned your head. "A mark, how silly… Maybe that guy doesn't mind sharing… Does he priestess?"
"Sesshoumaru will kill you!" You hiss angrily.
"I'd like to see him try; he probably doesn't even care anyways…" He replies with a sigh.
Without a second thought, he releases your collar and you ungracefully fall to the carpeted floor. He leers at you for a moment before reaching into his pocket and casually throwing the shikon no tama at you, which hits the wall instead and rolls away.
"You can keep that thing, if you want it so badly; it's useless to me now anyways." He says disinterestedly, before walking toward the door and pausing when he opens it.
"Oh, and I already talked to Blade, he won't be bothering you anymore, I just set a rule to the staff about how not to fuck with Kurayami's playthings, as you with say-" He smiles sweetly. "Good day priestess." He says and exits the room.
"Plaything?" You mutter with a scowl.
Your eyes slowly travel across the carpet and under a table. You warily crawl towards and under the table and pick the jewel up. Opposite of what it had been a few months ago, it was now a cold, pale jewel, lifeless with little to no energy. You stare down forlornly at the jewel, now there was no way to get back to the past and it was all your fault…
You jump in surprise as the door suddenly swings open and Naomi and Kaori walk in.
"(Your name), what are you doing in here? Under the table…? Are you ok?" Naomi asks bending down in front of you.
"I'm fine, just a little peeved… I found the shikon jewel." You say smiling weakly as you hold up the jewel.
"Really? That's great! But, how?" Naomi asks moving out of your way as you crawl from under the table and stand up.
"Kurayami gave it to me." You answer dejectedly grabbing a fruit pastry from the table and sniffing it.
"Kurayami? Isn't that the guy who kidnapped-"
"Yes, he is and he certainly can't cook!" You reply tossing the pastry in the trash and walking out of the food place.
"But, (your name), if he's the guy that you say he is why are you taking this so casually? Did he do something to you?" Naomi asks concerned following you out the door, followed by quiet Kaori.
"No, because I don't want to talk about it right now…" You answer curtly and walking inside the elevator followed by your two friends. "That ugly bastard hasn't ruined my appetite, who still wants to stop at WacDonalds?"
"I know I do, I'm starving!" Kaori says yawning as the elevator doors shut tight before the three of you.
"Are you sure this is the place, (your name)?" Naomi asks uncertainly looking out the window from the driver's seat.
"Of course I'm sure; I wouldn't forget a place like this!" You answer taking the last bite of your Wacky D's burger.
"Alright" Naomi replies parking the car inside of a nearby parking lot.
You three quickly get out of the car and walk toward the large building, with the slightest caution about the oncoming traffic, either you three are out of your damn minds to be walking into oncoming traffic or too deep in thought to notice that the light is not red, but green. Kaori flips the bird at several yelling and cursing drivers, while Kaori sheepishly apologizes to the drivers and you pay no attention at all. Feh, you walked through oncoming traffic once and lived, so there's a greater chance you'd walk out without a scratch a second time, right?
You three walk into the building receiving several odd glances from the staff and security guards and remember you're all still wearing your school uniforms, maybe you all should have worn a trench coat instead or something… Oh well… You three step in front of the large, oak desk and buzz the gold bell on the desk to get the secretary lady's attention.
"Oh, hello-" She asks and pushes her eyeglasses farther up her nose. "How can I help you? Or are you ladies lost?" She asks eyeing you peculiarly.
"No, well, at least I hope not, um-" You answer, but get cut off by Naomi.
"No, ma'am, we're here to visit an occupant of this lovely residence." She says sweetly.
"If you girls are here to visit the touring band GreenCard, they already left, so please do not make me have to call security."
"Call security! Lady, she just asked if we could visit an occupant not bring in a mob of lustful fan girls with whips and raid this place! GreenCard sucks anyway!" Naomi gasps at the grumpy twin.
"Kaori, how dare you! GreenCard does not suck!"
"The point is, just call up Mr. #1 Bachelor of the month and ask him if we can visit!" She snaps at the desk lady, giving Naomi an irritated look.
"Who is this Mr. #1 Bachelor of the Month, young lady?" The desk lady asks.
"Um, Sesshoumaru, president of Tenrousei Corp." You say with a light blush.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Sesshoumaru, what business would you ladies have with him?"
"Well, with all do respect, not any of yours." You snap. "So, can you please call him up, so he can let us in?"
"Of course I can, what are your names?" The lady asks coldly.
"I'm (your name), and this is Naomi and Kaori, though I'm not sure if Sesshoumaru knows them anyway, so…" You trail off looking at the desk lady expectantly.
"Fine, I'll call right now." She says picking up the desk and dialing a number.
"Good afternoon, this is the ground floor service desk." She says to the recipient on the other end of the phone. "Ah, yes, though you have other visitors today… No, teenagers." She says glancing at the three of you with a hint of disgust.
'Well, look at that another bitter old hag…' You inwardly mutter, staring at the lady dispassionately. 'Someone must have tee-peed her house last night…'
"Yes, she says her name is (your name), and she has two friends with her, too. Naomi and Kaori." She pauses as you hear the low murmur of the recipient. "Oh, I thought so; I apologize for bothering you… Good day." She says politely then hangs up the phone. She soon goes back to looking at a magazine, which she was doing before you three got there.
"Well?" Kaori snaps impatiently.
The desk lady looks up unimpressed and frowns. "Mr. Sesshoumaru's butler says that he wasn't expecting any guests at all today, and especially not any teenage school girls for that matter." She says noticing that you are indeed still wearing your school uniforms. "Now, please go about your business elsewhere or I won't think twice about calling security."
"Sesshoumaru's butler?" You ask ignoring the lady's threat. "Jaken? That bastard! How dare he refuse my visit! And I'm not even there to visit him!" You say indignantly and turning your glare back to the desk lady. "Call him back up, this is really important!"
"I beg your pardon, Ms. (your name), was it? But, your impudence won't move me to dial a single button!"
"Fine, then, I'll call them back, could you please tell me their number?" You ask reaching for the phone, which the desk lady moves out of your reach.
"My deepest apologies miss, but I will not allow you to call people that have told me personally that they do not wish your cheeky presence!" The desk lady says irritated.
"Cheeky presence?" You sneer. "You only asked that stupid toad bastard! You haven't asked the person that we want to visit! Geez, what the hell is this place a damn prison! If you don't want me to call, could you at least give me a phone number so I can call elsewhere!"
"Securi-!" The desk lady yells, but is cut off by Naomi.
"Excuse me, but that won't be necessary! Right, (your name), come on, lets go eat in that restaurant over there! It looks nice!" Naomi says dragging you roughly by your to the café on the other end of the room.
"But, we already ate!" You whine reluctantly being dragged into the café and flipping the bird at the fuming desk lady.
Hey, seeing Kaori do it, it looked like it was fun. You glare in annoyance at Kaori who's following and sniggering at your antics. That was not funny! It was an act of discrimination! Just because you're below of the age of twenty and are wearing a school uniform doesn't mean you don't have contacts with wealthy CEO's and that bloody Jaken! If only it could have been him you dissected in biology! Muhahahaha! Naomi gives you an odd glance at your crazed, blood-listing expression and you give her a mild sheepish smile.
You three sit quietly in a booth in back of the café trying to look inconspicuous, which was a bit hard because of your bit with the desk lady. You instantly pick up a menu and flip to the dessert section.
"Ooh, this strawberry shortcake looks yummy!" You point out licking your lips, but frown suddenly. "But, what's with price! Feh, I could go on a shopping spree at the dollar store at this price!" You mutter irritated.
'I wonder if Sesshoumaru would like strawberry shortcakes or maybe he would like Twinkies!' You pause and tap your finger on your lips. 'I hope he likes Twinkies! They're cheaper and I could definitely show him where the cream filling! Unlike shortcakes that display their goods…' You pause and blush at the double meaning. 'Heheh… Then again he could probably find the cream filling on his on…'
"We can't order anything here, stupid, it's too expensive! And we just ate anyway!" Kaori says also viewing a menu.
"I know that! I may have a credit card, but I'm not stupid! I have limits!" You retort. 'Though, I may just get some ice cream treats and shortcakes in a doggy bag later… Sesshoumaru may think I'm ungrateful since I haven't bought anything yet! Yet indeed…' You smirk and continue to flip through the menu.
"You have a credit card, (your name)? I know your grandfather doesn't trust you that much-" Naomi says, but is cut off by Kaori.
"Her grandfather doesn't trust her enough to give her 5,000¥ for groceries and come back with change!" Kaori says.
"Alright, alright, I wasn't trustworthy, I get it! Get over it!" You say irritably. "And, no it isn't my gramp's card, it's Sesshoumaru and before you say anything-" You give Kaori a pointed look. "I am not a gold-digger. He practically super-glued it to my pocket!"
"What? I wasn't going to say anything? Though, if the shoe fits…" The girl trails off with a shrug.
You scowl. "Ever since you tried to kill me that-no those times, you've just been becoming meaner and meaner. I'm starting to dislike you, Kaori…"
"You have no idea how stupid you sound…" Kaori sneers back. "Like I give a damn anyways…"
"Hey, girls, lets not fight! We have a bigger problem at hand anyway. How are we going to get upstairs freely to visit Sesshoumaru?" Naomi says.
"… I dunno, but we will!" You say eyeing the soy sauce on the table disinterestedly.
"Ahem!" You instantly look up to notice a waitress smiling down at you three.
"Would any of you like to order anything?" She asks politely. 'Now this is good service!' You think noticing the girl's polite smile.
"Um, we haven't found anything yet…" You answer.
"Alright, would you like any drinks in the meantime?" The waitress presses.
"No, we'll have our drinks with our food!"
"Alright then, I'll be back soon, to for your decision." She says and walks away.
"Would you guys think of something already? I'm sacrificing my waitress job for this!" Kaori says irritably.
"Don't worry Kaori, your job should be long gone by now, really you probably drive people away from where you work." You say thoughtfully. "Who would want service with a scowl, when they could go elsewhere with service with a smile, like this place?"
"People who want cheaper food, maybe?"
"The service was smiling at WacDonalds." You counter.
"No, stupid, for the last time, the freak with the mop was smiling because-"
"Aha! I know how we can get to his apartment!" Naomi interrupts.
"If it has anything to do with climbing the fire escape count me out!" You say quickly.
"No, it has nothing to do with climbing the fire escape, (your name); do you know if they have room service here?" Naomi asks.
"No, but I can ask… Why?" You ask dumbly, and waving over to the waitress signaling for her to come back again.
"This skirt is too tight! And too short!" You whine pulling down at the seams of the black mini skirt. "Who the hell's idea was it for waitresses to wear these damned things? Must be some stupid pervert!"
"(Your name), calm down, it couldn't be that bad." Naomi says ahead of you.
"Calm down? I am calm, I'm just irritated, there's a difference! And I have a right to be upset because you and Kaori snatched the last two pair of pants there and I was the one who had to bribe that waitress girl in the first place!" You counter glowering down at the cart of dishes before you. "At least one of you could have chose the skirt! If I don't know any better, it's like you two are ungrateful!" You say with an offended sniff.
"How were we supposed to know anyway? We thought you liked wearing those kinda things!" Kaori says sniggering behind you.
"Well, I don't! Playing dress-up is fun, but staying in the things you've dressed up in for the rest of the day isn't!"
"(your name), you don't have to stay in that for the rest of the day, you can change back into your school uniform later." Naomi says.
"…No, I can't, I left my uniform in the employee's bathroom…" You reply sadly.
"I guess you lucked out, huh, moron?" Kaori sneers.
"Bad luck, today, maybe… Don't call me a moron! I'm rank#2 in the whole city and region, maybe, too! While you're… Not." You say self-righteously, suddenly remembering your parallel's level of intelligence.
"You being a moron have nothing to do with how bright you are in academic area… Anywhere else, you're dim as a dead light bulb." She replies casually.
"I am not dim and I know I lot of things about a lot of things! Those things just don't come up often!" You argue, continuing to push your cart of food down the hallway.
"Name one thing then!"
"…I don't remember right now."
"Guys, don't bickering, we're here already and it would get pretty irritating if we get caught now!" Naomi says coming to a halt in front of you.
You both stop behind Naomi and wait impatiently when Naomi knocks on the door. Naomi had come up with an excellent plan on how to get to Sesshoumaru's apartment inconspicuously, though you still might have a little trouble if anyone saw you. Anyhow, you bribed your waitress in giving you three uniforms and in return she was going to get to meet the dog demon, himself, which you lied about anyway. Poor girl, she must be still in the backroom deciding if she wants to wear the red apron or the blue apron…
Kukuku, now was your chance to get revenge on the toad bastard who refused to let you visit! All you have to do now is devise a plan! Just as the door opens and Jaken peeks out, Naomi pushes the door open and pushes her cart in and the both of you follow her, pushing your own carts.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Jaken! How are you today?" You greet sweetly, waving your hand at the surprised toad.
"You! Brat, how did you get up here!" He asks glaring at you and then glances at Naomi and Kaori. "And bring two other brats with you!"
"Hey! Don't call me a brat!" Kaori orders.
"Jaken" You say patting the toad on the back. "You'll never be able to keep me away for too long, so I won't bother to answer that."
The toad demon glowers at you, before turning to the carts. "And what's all this? Lord Sesshoumaru didn't order anything!"
"No, he didn't, but we did!" You sing happily lifting the lid off of a plate to reveal some of the desert cakes you saw on the menus earlier. "I love the smell of whip cream and cake in the afternoon." You whisper sincerely before turning back to Jaken.
"And FYI, this is my friend, Naomi." You say gesturing to the polite girl who smiles and nods in greeting. "…Oh, and that's her evil clone, Kaori." You say pointing to the girl that just sat down on the couch.
"Now that I know what names to give to the police, get out!" Jaken says irately and you roll your eyes.
"Jaken, Jaken, Jaken, you're not going to call the police and no, we're not going to leave, duh! Unless, you've forgotten about our agreement the other day?" You ask folding your arms proudly.
"…These other brats better not be here for more than 2 hours!" Jaken growls before heading into the kitchen.
"Yeah, and you said you'd pick me and Rin up in an hour, but where the hell were you, huh?" You call after the toad demon annoyed.
You quickly snatch a snack cake from the cart and head down the hall. "I'm going to find Sesshoumaru; you guys can hang out for a while!" You call over your shoulder.
You ignore Kaori's rude reply and lightly tap on the door, which you knew as your favorite dog demon's office. Not that you needed to knock anyway, he is your mate! And besides, you did the nasty with him in the same place, so you would be welcome anyway. When no response comes, you open the door and walk in. You smile at the occupant at the desk, staying at your position before the door… Wait, shouldn't he be at work right now? Oh well…
"Hey Sesshoumaru" You greet quietly. "…Jaken didn't let us up here, so I had to bribe the waitress downstairs to give us some uniforms and stuff… I hope you don't mind the little snack cakes we brought up here, because I'm kinda broke…" You say with an uneasy chuckle. 'Damn, when did I become so nervous?'
You sit the saucer holding the snack cake down on a cabinet beside the door. "Oh, and I brought you a snack cake, too! I haven't had any yet, but I think they're all good." You pause biting down on your thumb before turning back towards the door. "Well, I'll just, um, leave since you're busy…" You say quickly opening the door.
"(Your name)" You pause at the sound of your name.
As you hear low footsteps approaching you from behind, you enter a mental battle on whether to flee the office without looking back or turn bravely and receive your punishment. You… Aren't that brave, no matter how many vicious demons face, or how many eras you accidentally fall into… The footsteps suddenly stop and you feel his presence directly behind you. Maybe he hates you right now, since you… Accidentally- You pause and shudder, you don't even want to think about it anymore… Though, maybe Shin was right, he probably couldn't hate you since the mark, of course… Though, maybe-

Author's Notes
Woot! Another chapter completed! That 'you' character seems to be getting more melodramatic everyday. Poor girl's just a little unwell, well… She's going to popping pills by the end of the story, so don't be surprised. And, oh my goddess! What's he going to say! Is he going to dump you cold? Not care… Or kick Blade's bloodsucking ass!
Oh, yes, and WacDonalds- In one of the episodes, when Kagome is in her present era she goes to a restaurant with her friends and there was this large yellow W on a pole at the entrance, so since then I called the restaurant WacDonalds.
