Day 3

Played... With

Sesshomaru tossed in his sleep as he tried to shake off a horrible feeling. Nothing seemed to stop him as he lay... in the sofa restless. He feared to open his eyes when he could feel the sunlight gently creep through the covers. He tried to get himself up but his body wouldn't allow him to. Finally the sunlight got to his eyes and he had absolutley no choice but to get back into reality. He turned his head to the side to see Kagura sleeping beside him and then that led to idle thoughts.. Oh my god did I?

Her clothes were array and she was nearly undressed. But the shirt that she was wearing at the time wasn't her own... Thats my shirt. Sesshomaru got up quickly, looking under the blanket, their other clothing were still on, that brought some relief to Sesshomaru, who feared that he may have done something that he may regret. He took a seat back onto the sofa, and pondered about what had happenedd from the night before. All he could recall was the fact that they went out for a drink and he had won.

Sesshomaru changed into some fresh clothing, while some stranger he had only met recently sat on slept on his sofa. He looked back at the clock, and noticed that his case was to begin in 4 hours, but was more like 3 since he had to get there early. He went back into the kitchen, forgetting about Kagura.

"Aaauuuhhhhh..." Kagura woke up and Sesshomaru looked at her and she gave him a rather bewildered look. "Oh my god did we?" Her face was flush red and she was trying to look at her clothing.

"No, at least I don't think so. I think while we were out we started doing something nowhere near the subjcet." Sesshomaru was backin his cold mood. He couldn't help but feel that something bad had happened that night. Sesshomaru pulled out some instant canned coffee and began to drink, feeling himself rejuvinated since the night before.

"Do you remeber what happened last night?" Kagura sounded as if she was really worried, or more curious.

"No, I don't remember a thing." Sesshomaru started to look around for his documents, and started to wonder when Kagrua was going to leave.

"Uh, I'll be right back," Kagura ran to the bathroom, I really hope that she isn't vomiting in there. She appeared moments later, wearing her original clothes. "I think that these belong to you." She had him his shirt and she looked away. Sesshomaru acted as if nothing had ever happened, and he remebered something. Whatever happened to Rin?

"Don't you think-"

"Are you sure that you don't remember anything since last night?" Sesshomaru was now sitting on the sofa also and sipping his coffee, as he placed a spare one on the table for her. She accpted the token and started to drink also.

"I can't recall anything at all."Kagura bent over a bit, salmost as she were dissapointed. "Whats wrong with you?"

"Uh nothing." Kagura got up and put on her shoes.And she left slamming the door behind her. Guess she realized that she had felt Rin alone, and then he got ready for work.

Day 4

"Agghhhhhhhh"

"So you gona stick with our agrement Mr. Lawyer?"

"You played me, you could hardly take any drinks the night before."

"No, I didn't lie, I said that I could take my liquor, did I not..."

"You..." He gave up... What a turn of events... I got played like a fool... Look at her, I'm in a worser state than she is.

Goodnight then dear Sesshomaru..." She kissed him for a long moment. Then, she fell asleep...

Sesshomaru scrambled around the house for something to eat. That dream had kept replaying all night... And he had hardly gotten any sleep. As for his case, it was already good as won and he had no need to celebrate over such a simple victory. The sun was already starting to set, and he felt like doing something. He decided to go for a midnight stroll, and then maybe grab some food while he was at it. Maybe I can find a place that sells a good steak.

Sesshomaru waited for the sun to set, and for the clock to change time, meanwhile he cleaned up the house, and watered the plants. He had a small orchard in the back, wich consisted of plums, and oranges. He loved them, and enjoyed eating them on a hot summer day. Esspecially watermelon, but to plant those they would require steady care, that was something he had no time for. Inside he looked at his calendar, marking down the days, until Christmas, where he could expect a huge raise from the company that he worked for.

The words Christmas caught his eyes, and he couldn't help but remeber about Inuyasha. He had invited him over for Christams to stay with his family. As far as I'm concerned, I have no family. He continued to wait for the time to pass by and looked back at Kagura's house. It was really darkby now an their lights were still off. He looked through some of his old portfolios from college.

"I wonder how all the other are doing?" He looked down at the letters from his freind. the first one was from Sango, when she told him that she was working as a programer for Squareenix. He then scrolled through some letters from his other freinds such as Miroku, when he had proposed to Sango the first time and she falt out refused him, but then he attatched the letter where she did accept his proposal, after he tried to move away. There was a picture of them at their wedding attatched later. He had tried to get to there but, he had an urgent call from his father who at that point was in his death bed.

He looked further down the pile and saw old love letters form Kagome. He had never had the heart to rid of them. But they were but empty memories by this poine, and there was really nothing to remember about them.

Sesshomaru looked back outside, which was a depth of darkness. It was no where near 12, but he didn't care anymore, looking at the old photos was making him extremely restless. He looked around, and grabbed his I-pod, something he had totally forgotten over the last few days. He turned it on and let some random anime musinc play, a favorite of his FLCL.

It was cold outside, and Sesshomaru phsyched himself to being warm, and was successful. He started with a slow pace of walking, and slowly made his way into a gentle jog. He didn't dare go to the streets of Tokyo still during this time, which would still be filled with tourists or other people. He took a turn to a jogging path that had been made only a few years back, and was requested by the neighborhood. They didn't use it at all in the end, and Sesshomaru found it as a complete waste.

"Kyaaaa!" A scream pierced through the darkness, and Sesshomaru could sense that it was just ahead of him. He hurried forward, but didn't want to mistake the scream for someone tripping. So he hid behind a shrub where the scream had taken place.

"Get away from me!" It was a very familiar voice, and he looked, it was Kagura sitting on the floor, rubbing her ankle.

"Aw cmon baby, your ankle doesn't look so good. Maybe some lovin will help it heal faster." The huge shadow reached it sbulky fiungers down, but Sesshomaru got in the way and shooved the person out of the way. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Touching a young lady without her permission never goes unpunished you know that?"

"Why don't you go to hell! Maybe the devil can suffice your love you dumbass. The figure shoved him away into a tree and Sesshomaru could feel a strong and awful force.

"Kyyyyaaaa! I said to get away from me!"

"What? What do you plan to do about it?" The voice had a devilish tone, and Sesshomaru pulled down a branch snapping it and brandished it into a blade. "What exactly do you plan to do with that?" The figure then pulled out a blade, a real one, and tried to strike him. Sesshomaru parryed barely and felt some old spirit inside him slowly awaken.

"Sesshomaru is that you?" The voice yelled through darkness. The blade stated to cut away his branch and Sesshomaru knew that if he didn't do anything soon, he would be defending with a twig. "Sesshomaru are you okay?" There was no timegrabbed Kagura and swept her off her feet, and started to run away. "Let go of me Sesshomaru help me!" A hand flew into Sesshomaru's face and he felt himself slow down.

"Kagura stop hitting me!" He tried to rub of the hits, and quickly got back into his orginal pace.

"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU TWO THINK YOUR GOING?" The shadow figure chased after the two, Sesshomaru didn't want to run into a busy street. If there were other people, the hostile target would surely slash at them. He didn't want to have the thought of dead people on his mind because of hisa mishaps.

"Sesshomaru where are we going?" Sesshomaru wanted to answer, but if he did, it would throw of his breathing rhythm and end up tiring himself faster. He was running to his house, and planned to barricade in there.

"You will not get away from me! I am the goblin! Those who try to steal the hearts of others will fall to me!"

"Sesshomaru he's catching up on us..." Many things were running through Sesshomaru's head. What the hell is that thing chasing us, and why does it seem that he keeps running into Kagura whenever he's trying to enjoy himself.

He finally got to his house, he charged through the door, which he had luckly left unlocked. "Sesshomaru! What are you trying to do?"

Sesshomaru reached for the case where the antique sword had been placed and sheathed it and as he turnedsaw the figure appear... It was huge with a giant black aura glowing around it. There was something strange about it under the aura. Its skin was dark green but its skin seemed rather tuff and hard.

"My, my, human where did you get that sword?" The demon spoke cooly. Sesshomaru swung the sword watching as the blade went through it. I did it... But the blow didn't give him the same triumphant scene he had hoped for, it still stood tall, but the swing of the blade had made the feindishly aura amass into more of a typhoon.

"Ah, I see you are his ancestor are you not?" What the hell is he talking about, Sesshomaru swung to the neck, but this time it didn't go through. "Ah, thank you, I've had a horrible crink on my neck there for ages. But I still must take her away, the heartless demon."

Kogura who was standing by the was was now hiding behind Sesshomaru as he continued to swing the weapon which only made the demon laugh. "That won't vanquish me..." The demons eyes, began to look straight into Sesshomaru. "Have we met before?" The aura dropped revealing that his skin was rather light. And what had looked like his skin had been some green robes.

Sesshomaru didn't let his gaurd drop, he was sweating a bit, after swinging wildly. A bead of sweat climbed down his pale skin. "That hair of yours. Do all your ancestors have that hair?"

"All the males in my family have had hair like this for centuries." Why am I telling him this?

"Ah I remember now, you are the descendant of the great Sesshomaru, The Beginning Of Dawn! My lineage brings me back to when we were serving you to look for uh..." What now seemed to be a harmless monster sat down with a rather huge smile on his face as he crossed his legs over Sesshdomarus coffee table.

The eyes narrowed back to Kagura... "And how in the world were you reborn?"Kagura tilted her head out of utter confusion and then there was a huge gust of wind. "I'm sorry I have ta do this. But its my job, if I were to be lenient to her, what about all the other people I have to drag away?" Sesshomaru looked blankly at the goblin.

"What is it that she did?" The goblin smiled back at him now.

"She tried to steal away your heart, when your heart still belongs to someone else." Kagome...

"So if what she said was true, you will let her go right?"

"Well uh yeah, I guess I can do that. But the question is do you remeber what it is?" Sesshomaru thought to himself for a while.

"What if its something that wasn't done intentionally."

"It doesn't matter, if my sprites got just a whif of something wrong then they are never wrong. Now I must really take my leave." A wind picked up in the room, and Sesshomaru could feel no type of adverse affect from it, sadly Kagura did as she got pulled in by some unseen force. Sesshomaru tried to grab onto her but when he got close to her the wind picked up and he was blown away.

"Wait-wait. You can't take her."

"Why is that?" The wind stopped and Sesshomarui felt like his throat had dried up.

"Because, she is my girlfreind."

"Are you speaking from your heart warrior?" The boblins eyes looked through Sesshomaru and into his soul. SNAP The goblins fingers went, and then all the figures in the room were back to normal, probably even all the windows. "Warrior, I admire that warrior visage of yours, and as reward... I think that I will awaken those past memories. Maybe, even revive some of your friends familiars."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, just say hi to Sango for me..."

"Sango!" The goblin vanished.

"Oh and as a parting gift allow me to erase this from her memory. But remember, if you break up with her, with untru intentions, then I will come back for her..." A voice rang through the room.

Sesshomaru looked tto his right, at Kagura who was fast asleep. How am I gona explain why she is at my house? The phone rang and Sesshomaru almost didn't answer it but something pitched scream made him wish he hadn't.

"Sesshomaru what the hell is going on!"

"Sango."

"You know I hate pets! Why did you send me a mutated fox for a present!"
