Radio Talk
Scroll 6
Kagome sighed. This had not been a good night. Koga was a total bore! He was interested in business and things that did not interest her at all.
She was into writing, and photography! And talking and airing on a radio talk at night and in the afternoons. To be honest she took pictures as her day job kind of thing. She made great money at the radio station, but the extra money doing photography was even better.
She wrote stories at night, but never really wanted to publish them or anything. She didn't think they were that good.
Kagome sighed as she stirred her drink with her straw staring out the window. Koga was taking the liberty of ordering. It wasn't as if she could read the menu anyway. It was all in some foreign language…
The restaurant was beautiful! The lights were a soft blue and yellow, and brought everything out perfectly. The tables and chairs were fine wood and made for a fancy restaurant like this. She smiled at the thought of Sesshomaru's house. Today, well tonight was her last night and then tomorrow after her photography searching, she would be staying in her own apartment.
Not that she minded, she loved her huge two bedroom apartment, and she missed her rottweiler. He was beautiful and he was only a puppy. Well about six month old. She loved him dearly and would die if anything happened to him. His name was Rex.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Koga trying to get her attention. She blinked. "What?"
"I said, are you alright? You look a little pale…" Yeah, the thought of Rex getting hurt is what set her over the edge. She blushed and smiled sweetly, fake.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking is all." She quickly turned away. Koga stared at her. He didn't believe her story, but he would let it go, for now.
OoO
Kagome opened the door to the Tashio house. Hopefully Sesshomaru was asleep…"Where have you been? It's late."
Nope…he was awake.
She winced and turned on him in a flash. He was sitting in the living room to the right of the front door, and glared at him as he sat smugly in his big red chair next to the fire, with a glass of brandy in his hand.
He matched a glare of his own. "It's only eleven o'clock! And what's you're problem! You're not my father; you can't give me a curfew!" Kagome was boiling. The nerve of that man!
"Well you shouldn't have been out that late with a man you only met four hours ago."
"We ate, and saw a movie! That's all, nothing else. Get over yourself." He was also starting to burn, how dare she talk back to him like that! She had no right, he….he had no right. His anger slowly vanished, til it was completely gone.
He stood and walked over to her. After the assassin in the tree above Koga's car, he was going to have to watch her more closely. "Don't let it happen again."
With that said, he walked right by her and up the stairs to his bed room. Kagome stared after him. She wouldn't be going to work tomorrow, she had things to sort out, especially things about a certain silver haired, amber eyed man.
OoO
The sun slowly crept up the horizon as Kagome covered her face with a grunt of disapproval. "Go away…damn sun…" Kagome muttered placing the pillow over her head and pulling the blankets flush over her body.
She was too tired to get up early on a day where you had to work only in the afternoon. The pictures could wait another few hours…
Her eyes snapped open. The pictures!
She had a dead line, and if she didn't get it finished today, she was done for! She swung her legs over the side of the bed and slung the covers off of her warm body. She was hit with a rush of cold. She shivered. Damn winter…
It was like it turned cold over night. Today would have to be the first snow day they've had all year so far. Well except for in January. It was November 28th now, and she couldn't wait to decorate her apartment. She squealed.
It was gonna be soo much fun!
She grabbed a tight pair of flares and a tight green shirt that said "If you could read my mind right now, you wouldn't be here." She put on her black new balance shoes and ran over to her dresser. She put on some light pink lip gloss and her silver hoop earrings. Then she put on her cross necklace and her diamond ring.
She then got a white coat and ran out the door. She grabbed her camera on the table down stairs and ran out of the house not even bothering to eat breakfast with Sesshomaru. She wasn't in the mood. They were most likely to move all her things back to her apartment soon, so she didn't bother to worry about it.
Her first stop was the bridge on the ghetto side of town. It may have been the most run down place in all of New York, but at least it had all the best sites. She smiled at the silver snowflakes falling all around her. She loved the snow, she always felt safe in it.
She finally made it to the bridge and smiled at the site. She was in luck that it snowed; the river always looked perfect on the first fall of snow. She stared at the beautiful site before her, the water sparkled and the trees glistened with snow on their dead sleeping branches. The sky was the perfect shade of blue since the sun went down due to snow clouds.
She breathed in the fresh scent and the positioned her camera. A perfect site, cause for a perfect picture by a great photographer. Her company loved her work and she loved doing it. A job you had fun on, the kind of thing everyone needs.
She snapped the picture and then looked at her photo. It was perfect! She captured everything just right, the lighting, the snow, the river, the trees, everything!
She smiled and looked at her watch. It was one in the afternoon. Sesshomaru was already at work. Well anyway, time to make a phone call.
OoO
Sesshomaru sat at his desk staring at the microphone and listened to "Sugar we're goin down" by Fall Out Boy. There was nothing else to do until they went online again. He looked at the glass window that always separated his area from Kagome's.
She called in sick, after she left his house so early in the morning, without so much as a note to know where she was going. He scowled. She agitated him to no end, yet every time he saw her, there was a strange pull at his chest. It was confusing and he didn't like being confused.
Naraku got his attention through the glass window. He mouthed the words "And we'reon in 3…2…1…go!"
"Hello all you ladies and genes out there." His voice was deep and sexy. Out lines are open and we're waiting for the next caller."
The lines shot up and he thought it hard to choose. He went with his instinct and chose line one. "Hello, how may I help this caller?"
"Well, you see…um, I kind of have a big problem." It was a woman.
"Well go ahead, tell me."
"I have this strange feeling for a guy…" Definitely Kagome's area in expertise, not his… "And I don't know what they are. Every time I'm around him, it's like I can't control my temper because if I don't yell or scream at him, then I fear I'm gonna do something I'll regret later…"
"Like what?" This was different from any caller he had ever had before. He knew that voice, but he couldn't put his finger on who it was…
"Kiss him…" His eyes widened. He lost control around only one person as well. They seemed to have similar problems.
"Well looks like we have the same problems to work out. Who is he?"
"Do I have to tell?" She was scared and he could tell. He shook his head.
"No you don't have to, but how does he make you feel exactly?"
"Well, he's tall, lean, and strong. He's got the most mystifying eyes, and the most abnormal hair out there! And it's natural." She laughed. "He's handsome and not exactly fun to be around though for other people. Me, I can't help but love to be around him.He's got an emotionless exterior kinda thing goin for him. I think that I might…be in love with him, but I don't think I can tell him because I'm scared of being hurt again." She finished.
"Well just give it time; he might feel the same way."
"I doubt it. He's more strung up on himself." The girl huffed. "And the weird thing is, we got in an accident together and he saved me, and then I had to watch over him because my mouth got ahead of me, and I was stuck with him for a week! But I'm free of him today, even though I don't want to be."
It still didn't ring a bell. She sounded so familiar. Who is she? He felt a strong connection with her, but he couldn't figure out where he had heard her voice before. So annoying not to know something that's nagging on the edge of your mind!
"Well give it time, and if nothing works out, then give me another call and we'll figure out our problems together."
"Ok, thanks for talking with me!"
"Any time…" Click. She hung up. He still couldn't figure out who she was! And the ratings for their radio station were going up because of the little talk he just had with their mysterious caller.
OoO
She clicked her cell phone closed. He gave good advice for once. He would never figure out that she was the one who called him. It seemed a bit weird talking about you're love life on a radio talk show, with the one man you were in love with.
Kagome smiled. She could tell he was trying to figure out who it was the entire time. So he was having similar problems huh? Well at least she knew it was Sesshomaru, even though he didn't know it was her he was talking to. Happiness turned to jealousy.
Who was he having this 'problem' with? Who was he all hung up on? She was getting jealous by the second at her own thoughts. She sighed and started walking home, before she called him it was around six at night, now it was nine, and she hadn't eaten all day.
She continued walking down the street in the worst part of the town. Now she wished she had drove instead of walking twenty blocks. She gasped as a shadow appeared out of no where and someone grabbed her from behind.
OoO
Sesshomaru sighed as he walked out the exit to the radio station. Another fun day, but it wasn't as great as it was when Kagome was around. He kept walking, he didn't bother driving, and the cold didn't bother him.
He loved the snow; it had a calming affect on him. It was quiet too, not like rain. He looked at the sky. Snow fell all around him and he smirked. Kagome would love this.
He walked into the worst part of town. He hated walking through this area, but it was the only way to get to his home. It was easier to drive, but if he took the long route home, it would take him hours. He looked around, he heard shouting.
A bunch of male voices and he could faintly hear a woman. He decided to ignore it and continue walking. He would pass them sooner or later, but it was probably just a whore with a bunch of men.
He inhaled the cold smell of winter, but the voices kept getting louder and they were getting harder to ignore. Something about it made him feel uneasy, so he started walking fast towards the voices. When he got there, he was shocked at what he saw.
OoO
She screamed. There were more men than just the one in front of her and the one that grabbed her from behind.
"Trying to call for help now are we missy?" The man that held her laughed and covered her mouth with tape, strong tape, while two men came up and grabbed both of her arms. She was trapped and she could only move her legs. A lot of good they were gonna do.
She scowled at the man that looked like the leader. He smirked and walked over to her. "Glaring is getting you no where my dear." He grabbed the edge of the tape and jerked it off of her face. She winced. "No need for this boys, there is no one in this part of town for blocks away."
All the men laughed and Kagome continued to glare. "You'll never get away with this."
The man looked at her. "Oh but I already have." Her jacket was already lost due to the struggle, and when one man handed her to the ones that held her arms now. She shivered at the chilly wind. What was she going to do?
She started to struggle. Her legs flew up and hit the men who held her arms in the faces. She smirked when she hit the ground. "Idiots…" The leader lunged at her. She used her gymnastics from the eleventh grade to jump over him and kick him in the…well where he wouldn't want to be kicked.
She was just about to turn around when she was hit in the face. She felt herself lose conscious. "Sesshomaru…" She whispered before everything went dark.
OoO
"Well boys, looks like she's free for us to do whatever we want with her. Which on of you wants her first?" Sesshomaru was discussed.
These men dared pick on an innocent woman. She was no whore. He couldn't see her face, but he knew she was an innocent. He ran up and the first man he saw, he punched.
"Who the hell are you!" Sesshomaru stood tall.
"That…would be none of you're concern." With that said he lunged at the next man to the left and kept going until every man out there was knocked unconscious. These humans weren't even worth his time.
He was about to walk away and leave the girl top awake one her own, but her jacket was discarded to the side and she was wearing only flares and a tight fitting shirt. He walked over to her after picking up her jacket and turned her over and picked her up bridal style. When he looked at her face, he was even more shocked than before.
The woman he just saved…was Kagome.
