Chapter 6:
Maid of my Mafia

Sesshoumaru's inner turmoil
Sesshoumaru sat amidst a classroom of fools who deliberately pretend to give their attention to the professor.
But it wasn't that- it wasn't the fact that the students where idiots...
No. It was that Kagome was not here.
He seemed to seethe and ooze irritation as he sat in his wooden chair. Kagome supposedly was to come to class, escorted by Sango; the new girl that Miroku had brought along for the trip. Though from the corner of his eyes indifference covered his face when he'd scanned the room for even a flicker of her. Slightly surprised was he five minutes ago when the door had opened.
It was suppose to be Kagome.
The girl he'd meant in the hall looked his direction and mouthed a apology; supposedly for Kagome's absence. So, since then he'd had the option of sitting through the lesson as he should or go up and follow her. Care to guess which choice he chose? (hint: My ass is still in the chair.)
Class ended.
Students streamed from the door excited and stirred by realization that school hours had ended; Leaving Sesshoumaru in the room with Sango.
"She went outside... Didn't feel up to the task of school." she shrugged.
"Not many people are; But that doesn't give her the excuse of leaving."
On one of the many desks he sat on he waited for his brother to turn up from behind the book shelf. "What is it Inuyasha?"
"Kagome's going out tomorrow supposedly..." Inuyasha wistfully stated staring at the rays of sunshine that streamed through the windows. "Thought you might want to know...heard it from this one guy..."
He sat there letting it sink in and absorbing the information like he did with everything that happens to her, at least anything that occurs with her. Kagome, was free to do what he wished, Sesshoumaru knew this. She promised nothing to him for they were not obligated to each other. Their relationship was business, and maybe even friends, but nothing more.
,-,-,-,
"Sesshoumaru!"
He walked away, bluntly ignoring her.
"What did I do now?" She ran to catch up with him. Out of breath, she clasped her nimble fingers around his wrist hoping that he wouldn't try and go farther.
Class had ended only minutes ago. 'The class that I totally ditched...' She'd waited outside the door and watched as the students stream out the door of both casually but excited. But Sesshoumaru seemed to stand around for a few minutes with Sango and Inuyasha talking about something, unknown to her ears. It's not polite to eavesdrop.
"You didn't do anything."
"Then why the heck won't you talk to me?"
Sesshoumaru looked her. His piercing gaze, focused on her alone. He ripped his arm from her in a jerk, patiently waiting for her to continue with anything she might want to say before leaving. Kagome sadly didn't have anything to say back to him, and dropped her stance now slouching against the wall. The other two went on as if nothing was happening.
"I have nothing against you." He sighed and spared her a mere glance before continuing with Sango and Inuyasha. "I'll see you tonight."
Kagome smiled.
Whatever she'd done was forgiven that was for sure. The question playing in her head in rounds continued to harass her. 'What the heck could I have done to make him mad?' She quietly walked home, since it seemed the only student held back was her.
Ringing in her pocket was her phone. "Hello?"
"Kagome?"
"Who is this?"
"Musou."
She laughed. "Oh hey! What's up?" Kagome could feel him smile on the other line. He'd supposedly gotten her number from the directory or something. "Do you mind meeting me tonight?"
"Sure." She was almost there at the front steps, when she turned off her call and stepped inside the house.
Sango smiled weakly, hoping to break the dreary mood the two brothers now were in. 'Whatever's bothering the two...hopefully has nothing to do with me...'
"Let's go home. Miroku's probably doing installing his security equipment." she urged the two out the door.
Inuyasha seemed to saunter and move slower than he should have while Sesshoumaru moved at a remarkable pace for he was walking. Through the patio, passing through the garden, over the bridge above the creek, they sat inside the limo gathered in a thick layer of silence.
Through the ride they helped themselves to room in the spacious limo. It was almost creepy out the two were suddenly so different from only a couple of hours ago. 'What creep up their holes anyway?'
"You know Sesshoumaru, we could beat him up-Real good so he won't be able to walk straight."
"Why ever would you want to do that, brother?" Sesshoumaru snapped and went back to staring at his brother. "We don't even know who she's dealing with."
Inuyasha slouched back further into the leather seat; lost in his own thoughts, that Sango could tell he'd haven't had or used in a while. His face kind of scrunched up in a frown and his brow funneled in the depth of his thinking. Crossing his arms and directing his body toward his older sibling.
"Do we have to know? This is bothering you I can tell! Which is so wrong-Cause you're never this fucked up-Especially over a chick."
She waited for Sesshoumaru to responded. Could this possibly be the case? Jealousy? For Kagome?
"I am not as you put it 'Fucked up'. I'm going home. Only you would put things like that."
The conversation ended with Inuyasha stopping off at a manor two blocks from his own home. She was stuck with Sesshoumaru in the car for probably for another three minutes. 'Which is fine...I think...' Mentally, she paced in her head-worried about how she would explain to Kagome. Maybe it would be better to now mention this to her? After all...What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
Sesshoumaru turned to look at her with a rather bored expression, "If you mention a word of this to anyone I will have you reassigned. Far...Far... Away."
'Cold...'
They stepped out of the car as soon as it paused to a stop. Sesshoumaru went on his own way around the house, Leaving Sango to figure out where to go. "Now where..." She cried.
"I just don't seem how it's wrong to go with him!"
She paced around in the shower as she scrubbed the blue green marble tiles. It was a BIG shower. One of those walk in ones... Kagome continued on cleaning while she talked and confided in Sango.
"Well...All I can say is it's bugging him for some reason. Maybe you should let it go."
Throwing down the sponge she reached for the bucket of water to throw on the soapy spuds that flow down the drain leaving the floor a beautiful gleam. "Sesshoumaru wouldn't get that messed up over some guy Sango. I think he's better than that." Her hands started to hurt when she got up to work on straightening the bathroom.
"After I'm done with this I'm gonna go tell Sesshoumaru I'm going to hang out with Musou anyways."
She took off her apron and yellow gloves, before turning to the mirror to fix her hair a little bit. Wouldn't want to look a mess in front of your boss right?
Leaving Sango alone in the room, she moved to find Sesshoumaru anywhere in the mansion. Up and through the house she moved asking if any of the servants knew of his whereabouts. 'The guy sure does go missing a lot...'
Kagome found him in the garden.
The sky now dark, after the sunset seemed to glow with stars. You couldn't even see Sesshoumaru from the where he was sitting beneath the weeping willow, if it weren't for his hair. Which seemed to strangely glow in the moonlight.
Beneath it he sat on the ground leaning against the aging tree looking out towards the pond flowing and clattering with the moving water.
"Sesshoumaru?"
He slightly moved at the sound but other than that he remained perfectly still. "I'm going out." Kagome whispered in his ear hoping not to disturb the sereneness that seemed to hold him. She sat down next to him, for a few minutes just enjoying the warmth that emitted.
,-,-,
"Where are you going?"
"With Musou."
As if broken by a spell he turned down to look at her, his eyes now showing discontent. "Of course, why you are telling me, no clue leads."
Leaning back and smiling gentle, Sesshoumaru hoped that she would be on her way and go. Appearance were by far deceiving for his sides where turning, threatening to heave upward in a reaching scream. 'Kagome was going out with another male', stated by herself. Bothered not was he to be about this.
'I'm not...'
Plainly, he was lying to himself, which shouldn't be done-it gives you wrinkles. How she managed to maraud into him edging him to inner turmoil. No matter how innocuous she seemed or was...
'She wounded me...with nothing...'
Kagome did nothing to him. Nothing at all. She was sitting unperturbed while he dithered.
Tomorrow he'd have Mirkou find more about this Musou character. Though... Sesshoumaru had heard that name before. Distinctly from his father. Maybe he'd be able to find out who he was dealing with...and actually try to be happy.
With Kagome
Sesshoumaru smiled a bit until Kagome held his hand, until he felt the old sensation.
He looked down to look into the depths of her windows. She was so uncommon to him now. At moments like these. The lips curved like the moon, the skin was milky like the moon, but her eyes sparkled like the stars.
How he longed to utter the words he long ago processed but never wrote. His hands were cold he knew when the touched her warm tender ones. How ever would he speak the letters carved in stones that barricaded them in his heart? She drifted away from him into the arms of her lover. His jaw tighten.
And tears coursed down his face.
