Radio Talk

Scroll 7

Sesshomaru sighed. He did not want to do this. He did not want to watch Kagome until she woke up, which was when? He had no idea…

The news was on the night before. Turns out they caught the guy that was after Kagome and other girls as well. Every last woman that was targeted had some connection to his and Kagome's radio show. It infuriated him to no end. Just because they get advice or something else, they were attacked. Yet people still called in.

And Kagome was a bigger story. She worked at the radio station, and she was a bigger target for the man that was after her.

Now the news crews were going to be all over them for a long time. He was already a billionaire and now the attack on his "fiancé" to make things worse. He rolled his eyes. She just had to go and say they were engaged didn't she? And a bigger story was why Sesshomaru worked at a radio station that he owned, rather than the company he owned yet never worked at was a mystery to the journalists and reporters and they hated something left a mystery.

Kagome, ever since she came into his life, she complicated everything. From emotions he didn't understand or want to her calling him her fiancé and getting them into more trouble to getting attacked and him watching over her.

He sunk lower in his puffy chair and sighed again. She would wake up soon. Joy…

OoO

The room was dark because of the black curtains and the fact that they were closed. It was warm and Kagome snuggled deeper into the covers and smiled contently. So soft…

Wait a minute…she bolted up flinging the rag on her forehead across the room. Last she remembered, she was in the snow on the ground freezing. She shivered at the memory. Not exactly something she wanted to be reminded of…she looked at her surroundings.

It was dark, but the light from under the hall door came through and lit up the room quite a bit. She smiled as she realized where she was. She was at Sesshomaru's house…still. And she was glad. She never wanted to leave in the first place, but it was something she was going to do when she got her photography pictures finished. But that never happened, because she was attacked and then left for dead when she was knocked unconscious.

Sesshomaru…he must have saved her. Why else would she be at his home? If she was found by someone walking by or something, she would be in the hospital or in the care of a friend, like Inuyasha or Sango, or she would be in her own apartment, not at the Tashio mansion.

She breathed in the sweet scent of her room. The room she used for one week while she stayed with Sesshomaru.

Wait, where was Sesshomaru?

She stood and walked over to her mirror after flipping the light switch. She looked at her reflection and smirked. Sesshomaru put her in a beautiful soft peach evening gown made of silk. It was form fitting and complemented her chocolate brown eyes. Her hair was down and she wore no make up (she never did really) and no jewelry. And she looked…like she was someone else.

She turned and looked at the clock. It was five in the afternoon, Sesshomaru would have already left for work…hmm…she mine as well take up the offer for their "talk date".

She took out her cell phone and dialed the number.

OoO

Sesshomaru sat at his desk fiddling with a pencil he just happened to find sitting in his chair waiting for him to sit on. Kagome was still asleep, so she wouldn't be able to come to work…again.

He sighed as the song ended and it was time to go on air. "Well callers, the lines are open and so is my advice." Sesshomaru said it as enthusiastic as he could…which wasn't very much since Kagome wasn't there to lighten his mood.

Almost immediately the phone lines were booked and ready to be answered. Seems since the attack on the women and Kagome, the rating of their show have been skyrocketing. It made no since what so ever…

He pushed line four and smirked. "Sesshomaru speaking, how may I help this caller?" His instinct told him to pick that line and he knew it was a woman automatically, so he used the sexiest voice he could muster.

"Yes…um…hi, you said I could call again if I couldn't figure out my problems…?"

He froze. It was her again. The mysterious caller whose voice sounded so familiar. "Hello again. So what's happened so far within the twenty four hours since we last spoke?"

"Well…" That voice…so sweet and enticing…where had he heard it before? "I was attacked, and he saved me again. It was weird; all I remembered was being left in the snow, and then waking up in the most unlikely place. And I haven't seen him since the other night. So I can't tell how he feels about everything."

"Well, what has he been doing?"

"Working, actually, he's at work now."

"Well why don't you go there and talk to him? See how he feels about the situation."

"It's not that easy. I work with him, and I didn't go yesterday either, and I'm not there today. So he might be mad or something…"

"Just say you're coming in late today."

"Ok…that might work. Well thank you for talking with me again Sesshomaru."

"You're welcome, and you can talk to me anytime."

"I will." Click. She hung up again. This was getting frustrating.

OoO

She did it again. She talked to Sesshomaru about how she felt about him right to his face, and he didn't even realize it was her! You would think he would have figured out it was her by now. What a dense man…

She sighed and walked over to the bedroom closet which still held all of her clothes from the previous week. She took out a pair of flares and a tight blue t-shirt, combed her hair, put on her shoes, grabbed her coat, and ran downstairs, out the front door heading to the radio station to confront Sesshomaru…for the first time in two days.

OoO

Sesshomaru was getting a soda when the door to the "on air" room opened and Kagome walked in. His eyes would have widened if he didn't have as much pride as he did. What was she doing out of bed?

"What are you doing here?"

"Someone told me to go to work late." She stuck her tongue out at him. "So there." Naraku smile and ran over and hugged Kagome.

"It's good to have you back Kagome! Everyone missed you yesterday!"

"It's good to know someone missed me!" She glared at Sesshomaru. He shrugged his shoulders and walked back to his chair, sat down, and pushed line one. Kagome walked over and sat in her seat.

"Well callers! I'm back and boy is it good to be back!" Kagome sighed with happiness.

"Yes, isn't it grand, now we're taking callers and we can't wait to hear from you."

'He was so compassionate on the phone…but he doesn't know it's him she's so confused about...well me...whatever!" Kagome thought sighing sadly, not noticing that Sesshomaru was staring at her.

OoO

"Well…back to where we were for the last accident, don't try anything this time Sesshomaru." Kagome said stepping into the elevator, Sesshomaru on foot.

"Wouldn't dream on it. I don't want to keep you at my house another day." Kagome sighed again and pushed the button to the first floor.

'He's so cold…" She thought. The elevator reached the sixth floor before it sputtered and went back up. "What's going on?"

Kagome slammed her fist on the control panel. "Damn elevator…" Sesshomaru grabbed her fist.

"Punching the elevator isn't going to help any." Kagome jerked her hand away and glared at him.

"What do you care?" He was shocked. Where did that come from? Since she got to the radio station, she'd had an attitude. What was wrong with her?

The elevator stopped on floor sixty four. "Hello! Can anyone hear me? Is anyone on the elevator?"

Kagome smiled. "Yes! What's wrong with it?"

"There seem to be some technical difficulties and it will take a while to fix. So however many passengers are with you…"

"Just one other."

"You two are going to have to hang tight for a while; we don't know exactly how long that will be." Kagome's smile faltered. The man on the elevator intercom disappeared and Kagome sunk to the floor covering her face with her hands.

She was stuck…in an elevator…all alone…with the one man that she was in love with…oh yes, things were going to be very interesting.
