Radio Talk

Scroll 5

Another morning, another day of listening to Sesshomaru complain. Kagome sighed. It was already the second day in taking care of her "dear" fiancé. What an ass. You save someone's life and how do they repay you? Complain…throw you against a wall pinned by your shoulders, complain some more…and then hit you with a broom.

Yep…a broom. He hit her with a broom.

FLASHBACK

"Get me a drink."

She was really getting pissed. "Oh get it yourself shit head, you have a fractured wrist and a few burns…that doesn't mean you can't walk!"

SMACK!

Oh no he didn't, he did! He hit her with a broom! What was wrong with this 'man' and where the hell did the broom come from! She turned on him fast. "Get me a drink."

"No."

SMACK!

He hit her...AGAIN! That was it…he wanted to play games, then she would play games. It would really spike that little temper of his and she knew just what she was going to do.

END FLASHBACK

She grumbled to herself. And now she was stuck with a date tonight. A date with someone she didn't know. And since Sesshomaru "can't get out of bed" she would get to go without protest from him.

She had been staying the night at his home for the past twonights. And she had no idea that his house was that big. She thought Sesshomaru very successful. But he had an arrogant attitude, that most women found attractive, therefore throwing themselves at his feet, but she thought it disgusting.

But for some odd reason, when Sesshomaru saved her from the elevator and protected her from the burning flames, she felt an unusual feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something she never felt before. She couldn't quite figure out what it was.

She stood in front of the guest room mirror. Sesshomaru had his servants sent over to her apartment to get her things since she was to stay there for a few weeks. She sighed as she looked at her reflection. She held a beautiful red dress up to her curvy body. She smiled. She didn't really know what Koga liked, but this would have to do. It was beautiful and elegant and not too classy. She would wear her red ruby earrings and her ruby necklace her mother bought her before she died.

And her favorite gift that she would only wear to a very, very special occasion was the beautiful diamond necklace shaped like a rose that her mother passed down to her. It was her most prized possession and she would never give it up. For anything.

She placed the dress across her bed and walked over to her closet that by the way was humongous.

She grabbed a pair of flares and a tight black shirt that said "Punk Rocker" with a guitar across the words. She slipped on a pair of flip flops and brushed her hair on the way out. She had breakfast to attend.

And she wasn't too happy about spending another morning with Sesshomaru. Yesterday he threw a spoon at her. Abusive much? He had a good reason though. Her temper got control of her and she threw a fork at him…so…uh, yeah. You do the math.

She smirked. The look on his face when she threw that was hilarious. Priceless even. But not to that extent, still funny though.

She descended the stairs with ungraceful strides. C'mon, she wasn't a princess living in a castle! She was a girl, who worked on a radio talk show, with a guy who owns a company, but also works at the radio talk show, trying to pay for her rent at her apartment.

She saw the door to the dining room and walked slowly to it. She placed her hand lightly on the wood and pushed it open a bit. There was no one in there. She opened the door a little more and placed one foot inside. She stopped short and looked around. No one.

She opened the door some more. Still no one. She stepped in fully and sighed in relief. She walked over to the dinning table and took a seat. Finally a morning without Sesshomaru nagging on her to get him something to drink.

After a few minutes she started to wonder. "Where is he?" She was getting slightly worried that he wasn't around. He was always around.

She stood up and walked into the kitchen. He wasn't there. She shook her head at the servants scrambling about. "Please, stop whatever you are doing. Sesshomaru is no where to be found and we're going out for lunch." The cooks immediately stopped what they were doing and ran out of the room.

She laughed a bit. Sesshomaru worked them too much. They needed a break every now and then, but with a pop sickle up his ass, that wasn't gonna happen any time soon. Then it clicked.

His favorite spot. He had to be there.

She ran out of the house…mansion, and ran towards the lake. Her beautiful raven hair blowing in the wind, her deep chocolate eyes glassy, she ran towards the one place Sesshomaru would always be when he wasn't around the house.

She stopped short when she saw a figure standing by the lake. His shadow dark and beautiful. She stared at him. "You can come overhere; I already know you're there."

Kagome smiled. She knew him well. She worked at the radio station with Sesshomaru for a year and a half, and probably longer. He wasn't one of those people you could just…forget. She walked towards him. "Hey, you shouldn't be out here."

"Well I am, and my wounds are gone." Sesshomaru continued to stare out at the lake horizon. He was suddenly grabbed by the hand. His eyes darted to Kagome. He turned towards her slowly to find that she was examining his wrist.

"It still looks bad to me." He jerked his hand away.

"I'm fine, why are you out here anyway?"

"I was worried about you." He stared at her.

"Worried about me?"

"Yes."

"There will never be a day that I will believe that." She turned towards him and huffed.

"And why not!"

"Because-"

"One of these days Sesshomaru, one of these days you're going to realize that I care for you more than you think." And then she walked away.

OoO

She slid the dress perfectly up her body. It fit like a glove and that's why she liked it so much. She had another dress, deep set silver, but that was for special occasions only, and she would never wear it for just anything.

She put on her black heels and her jewelry. She looked at her reflection and sighed.

This was going to be a very eventful night.

OoO

"One of these days Sesshomaru, one of these days you're going to realize that I care for you more than you think."

That line kept running through his head. Why did she say it? Why? WHY!

He wasn't the type of person that people cared for. He was the type of person that gave advice, not very good advice, but advice that gets you through life, and one that owned a business and worked some where else.

He sat in the living room with a glass of wine in his hand. He moved the glass and watched the liquid move about. The door bell rang. "Who the hell…?"

He slowly got to his feet and walked slowly to the door. He placed his hand on the handle and slowly opened the door. What he saw almost made him grab a knife and stab the man right then and there.

There was only one woman in this house at this time. The servants had the night off and just to put it simply…he was pissed. The man stood there, brown hair, with flowers in his arms, like a dummy. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow.

"Who are you?" The man must have recognized him because his eyes narrowed and he scoffed.

"Just tell me where Kagome is." Sesshomaru was getting irritated, something that rarely happened.

"She is in my care; therefore I must know who you are." He stood there emotionless watching the mans actions.

"My name is Koga, and I'm here for Kagome. We have a date to attend." In an instant Koga found himself pinned against the back of the front door.

"Listen to me. You-"

"Sesshomaru, if you would kindly let go of my date, I'll be on my way and out of yours." Sesshomaru's head slowly turned to see Kagome standing in the yard wearing a beautiful red dress. She used the back door.

Sesshomaru scowled. "Why are you going out with this man when you don't even know him?"

Kagome smirked. "Because I can, and so you know, we're not married or anything, so I have the will to date who ever I please. She put her hands on her hips. "Now if you don't mind letting him go!"

Sesshomaru released Koga from his grasp and moved towards the door. He looked back at Kagome. She slightly gasped at the look in his eyes. He turned from her and slammed the door behind him.

Koga walked towards her with a goofy look on his face. Kagome smiled as best she could without frowning. She wasn't in the mood for this anymore, but she already broke the date with him once, so she couldn't do it again.

"Shall we go?"

"Of course." She smiled as he led her to his car and looked back at the front window spotting Sesshomaru before turning back and following her 'date'.

OoO

He stared out the window and watched Koga help her into the passenger side of the door. Why did he care? It wasn't like she was going to be in danger…but then again, no he sensed nothing evil about him.

A shine caught his eye. His eyes darted towards the tree above Koga's car, which just pulled away. A man was sitting in the tree with a gun aimed at the car. His eyes widened a fraction and he darted to the door.

He opened it in one swift motion and ran towards the tree. He jumped and landed on the branch in which the man was occupying.

"Hey there, where you aiming for my girl?"

"I-I…I was told to!" The man was in hysterics by now. This was no normal man and the assassin knew it. He got scared too fast.

"Well unless you told me who sent you, I'm going to end you're life now. You have five second to give me a name. 5."

"I can't…"

"4…3."

"It…it was…"

"2…1…"

"It was...!"

"Too late." Sesshomaru took the dagger he had stored in his boot and stabbed the man in the chest.

The man gagged and realized he had no breath to breathe in and fell from the tree as Sesshomaru swiftly pulled the dagger from the man.

He stared as the man fell to the ground. He would have Jaken take care of that. He stared at the road in which Kagome disappeared with Koga. Someone was after her…and he would find out who it was.

To be continued...
