Chapter 7 – Kouga's Persistence
Kagura was really getting on his nerves. Every time she came into his office she wore a frown and was pouting, or very rude. God the bitch needed to get over herself and if she weren't lucky he'd end up hitting her. Kouga didn't need this damn stuff happening to him at this time. He had his own problems and didn't need her making his day worse then it already was.
At this the phone began to ring. Kouga reached over his fingers wrapping around the telephone. Once it was next to his ear he snapped, "What?"
"Sir Ginta is on the phone," came Kagura's voice. She sounded just as snappy as he did and Kouga grinded his teeth together. Why the hell was he the one that ended up hiring this damn onna? If she didn't watch her mouth she'd not just get hit but be out of a job. Then he'd go around to other companies telling them that Kagura Wind wasn't a good person to even consider hiring. She had a bad mouth and couldn't get over herself. Her high horse was way to high and she acted as if she was the ruler of the universe.
"Put him through then," Kouga barked into the phone. He wasn't even going to try and be nice to the damn onna anymore. After the whole hitting Kagome thing he was no longer going to even speak kindly to her. She had about a week more to work at Howling Inc. if she didn't watch herself.
Hearing Kagura huffed he heard the familiar beep telling him Ginta had been patched through. "Ginta did you get the stuff I asked you for?" Kouga asked in a softer tone. Ginta had been his friend for the longest time and it had been even better when they found out they were cousins. Even if it was once removed it was still something that brought them closer as friends.
"Yeah I did and I'm faxing it to ya right now," came Ginta's voice. He sounded winded and as if he'd just ran a mile or more. Ginta really never was good at track and lost most of the time, while Kouga won against everyone he faced.
"Thanks Ginta," Kouga said smiling the whole time. Usually he kept the files on past employees but he needed Kagome's information again. Only because Kagome had taken it not wanting him to be able to find her, and when she didn't want to be found you wouldn't find her. Now though he'd be able to and he thanked kami that Ginta worked with Sesshoumaru.
"Your welcome Kouga," Ginta said, "Well I have to get back to work so I'll see ya later Kouga."
"See ya Ginta," Kouga said. After hanging up the phone he smiled. Turning his chair he stood from his polished desk and walked toward the door. Before he opened it though it came flying open and Kagura walked inside. Glaring at the woman for slamming the door into his nose he looked down at the papers she was holding.
Kagura stood wearing her black skirt and a whorishly tight shirt. Her open sandals showed off her red nail polish and she was holding out a few papers. The other hand rested on her hip as her fingers began to tap against her skirt. She was getting impatient since she'd rather be thinking about Sesshoumaru then coming into Kouga's office. "Well are you going to take your stupid info on Kagome Ki or just stand there staring at it all day?" Kagura snapped.
That was the last straw. She had just crossed the line and now she was going to get it. His fist balled up and he brought it back ready to slam it against her face. He held himself back trying not to hit the fucking bitch for the way she spat out Kagome's name. Who the hell did she think she was? Did she realize she was talking to someone who could kick her ass easily?
Kagura just stood there never noticing the danger she was now in. She shook the papers trying to get him to take them and when he didn't she huffed. "Well are you going to take it or should I have it burned?" Kagura hissed staring down at him. It wasn't until his fist came up that she fell to the floor finally knowing the danger she had been in.
"I can't take it anymore. Kagura your fired and I'm making sure you won't get another job in town. All you care about is getting a man who doesn't even want you, and yet you can't even see it. You had no right to hit Kagome at the ball or call her names you god damn bitch," Kouga fumed looking down at her. Her eyes were filled with tears but he took no notice to it as he grabbed her shirt collar. After taking the papers from her he threw her from his office saying, "And don't come back."
Kagura sat outside the office on her ass, which hurt like hell now. She couldn't believe she'd been fired… again. Who the hell did he think he was… king shit? How dare he treat her, KAGURA WIND, like some common tramp! With that in mind she huffed and began gathering her things.
oOo
Making it home Kagura pulled into the driveway. Her little sister Kanna who said, "Kagura your home early", greeted her.
"I know Kanna but I lost my job," Kagura said looking down at her little sister.
Kanna was around 4'9" with long white hair. Her eyes were grey in color and didn't seem to hold any life. Even if she got out in the sun often her skin would stay the same pale white it was. The little girl held no smile and seemed lifeless as she stood there looking into the passenger window. Her clothes were white as well and she kept them clean by bleaching them at least once a day. Kanna had a loose belt that hung on her hips; while it was white as well she did wear black shoes. A small white mirror was attached to the belt… a gift from their departed parents.
The house was a purple color with blue trim. True it only had two bedrooms but it was big enough for them. One room was upstairs and one down stairs. Kanna had asked for the upstairs one because it was smaller and Kagura couldn't deny her sister what she wanted. The kitchen was just big enough for five people to move around without problems. The livingroom was a light yellow color and held the different family photos and a big screen TV. Kagura looked around the yard; there was a small garden that Kanna took care of and a nice looking pond. The walkway was easy to access and easier to walk upon.
"I see," Kanna commented. She knew Kagura was doing her best but her sister wasn't really a great parent. She missed her real parents and held a pretty good idea of how they died.
Kagura nodded and said, "I guess I'll need to get another job now."
"Yes you will, or you could get married," Kanna gave a small smile. She liked to bring that up a lot and watched as Kagura's face fell. She knew that Kagura liked that guy Sesshoumaru something and loved to see her sister become heart broken because deep down Kagura knew he'd never chose her.
"There's only one man for me," Kagura said getting out of the car. She wouldn't go into this discussion again. Kanna was a good child and always telling her to move on but she couldn't. Sesshoumaru was the richest, hottest, and youngest most bachelor man in all of Japan and she saw him first.
Kanna shook her head and walked toward the front door. Really she couldn't understand how people fell into love. Well she was starting to understand after she met Kohaku. He was such a nice person and made her want to smile all the time. Her eyes twinkled and she felt her lips tug upward as her mind brought forth an image of his face.
oOo
Sesshoumaru felt something. He didn't quite know what it was but he felt something. He knew for a fact it had to do when Kagome came into his office like nothing had happened. She looked just like she did every other day except for the black clothes. She even looked happier then normal, like she was trying to hide something behind that mask. What was this feeling? There was no way he wanted to comfort her was there? Maybe that was it… maybe he wanted to because she looked so fake today?
Not that it mattered.
All that mattered right now was getting his work done. He really needed to deal with the person before him then think about Kagome. Though said girl was standing next to him. He felt like he could so anything with her by his side. In fact he felt less tense since she had spend the night at the mansion. Even if he did end up sleeping beside her most of the night, she didn't know that though and he was trying to keep it that way.
However right now there was the matter of getting to know why Yura hadn't brought him the papers he wanted. He stared at her and then glanced over at Kagome. She was standing at his side with a blank expression and it made him feel invincible. No one could stop him while she was by his side. She was like an anchor that would never leave his side, a person who would be there when he needed, and a person who would step out of the way when he needed to be in control.
"So Yura, your telling me that you don't have the papers I asked for because Kaguya wanted to bring them to me?" Sesshoumaru drew out. He loved to do this and watched as Yura began to fidget in her seat before nodding.
Standing from his chair he saw Kagome take a step back so he had room to move around the desk. That was what he liked about her, she always knew what he wanted or needed. It really was a nice thing to know… to know that she would be there and know what he needed from her. Her face showed nothing as he walked around the desk before kneeling so he was face-to-face with Yura. His eyes were cold and his voice came out even colder.
"Get me those papers and tell Kaguya to get in my office while you're at it. I will no longer be needing her so she will no longer be in your hair from now on," Sesshoumaru said and then added, "Bring those papers to my office in the next hour or… consider yourself fired."
Yura nodded and ran from the office. Kagome had already moved from the desk and opened the door before she got there. Once Yura was gone Kagome smirked, she had met Kaguya too. She wasn't as bad as Kagura but she could be at times. The woman seemed to think that Sesshoumaru would go out with her as well and tried everything to get into his office since she worked three floors down. The woman needed to get over herself and get a life. Well so did Kagura but Kagura also needed a reality check. I mean come on she punched her because she went to a function with a man who didn't even like her.
Sesshoumaru was her boss and nothing more though she had started to notice how good he looked. He looked just like one of the bad boys she'd gone out with long ago. Long silver hair, gold eyes, well built, and always held a smirk while walking down the street. No wait… that was the only bad boy she could never get at. He was called the 'Killing Perfection' but that wasn't highschool. No that was college. Hmm… that was strange she didn't even realize that until now. Did they go to college together? She couldn't really remember it since she blocked out most of it… but whatever.
Sesshoumaru looked over at her and waved his hand to dismiss her. He saw the fire return to her eyes and then she balled up her fists. "What's the matter, Kagome?" he asked looking over at her with a smirk.
"Look Sesshoumaru-sama I am your employee but you can't just treat me like a slave," Kagome hissed out. She hated whenever he did it and her voice didn't even bother him. He just shrugged and leaned against his desk, with his hands in his pockets in a casual manner. Kagome blushed at how good he looked and widened her eyes when he began to walk toward her.
"Is that so Kagome?" he said softly when his face was inches from hers. He looked into her wide eyes and smirked… she was excited. He could tell by the blush she wore and the wide eyes that held a glossy look to them. His left hand shut the door and he leaned his forehead to hers watching for her reaction. His eyes went southward to her lips and before he knew what was happening he leaned in…
oOo
Kouga looked down at the paper and smirked. He was going to call Kagome at work today and then maybe at home later. He was sure he would be able to convince her that he was the only man for her. As he picked up the phone he began to dial in hopes that Sesshoumaru fucking picked up. He knew he shouldn't have the number that went straight to Sesshoumaru's office but hey he didn't want to deal with Sesshoumaru's secretary. The last time he did she said something about Sesshoumaru not being able to talk just then. So now here he was and after he was done dialing he waited. He really wanted to talk to Kagome and hoped to hell Sesshoumaru let him. It was said the man had a bad attitude if you interupted his work. Not that he cared but hey he was going to talk with Kagome even if Sesshoumaru didn't want him to. If he couldn't get her through Sesshoumaru then he'd call up Ginta and tell him to get Kagome's office phone. It only rang four times before Sesshoumaru picked up.
oOo
Kikyo sat on the edge of the bed. She still didn't understand why she put up with Inuyasha. She had gone home after a little sex and then talking with him. So now she sat here waiting for Naraku to call her. It had been a while and she was amazed when she found his message. Of course it didn't say I want to come get some sex from you but it said something like, "Yes Kikyo this is Naraku and I have bad news about you mother… could you call me? I really think you should hear what has happened and it isn't good."
Of course everyone but Inuyasha knew her mother was already dead so all her toys said something had happened just in case Inuyasha got the message. Then once he told her about it she would leave and come back saying it wasn't that bad and they were over reacting.
Inuyasha always bought the stupid line. God the man would buy anything she dished out to him. So here she sat waiting for Naraku to call with the address of where to meet him this time. Damn the man was a very good fuck and she wouldn't give it up. Inuyasha she would have thought would figure out by now that he wasn't her only lover. It was so weird and yet great that she couldn't wait until her lover called. Inuyasha was such a sucker, and an idiot too. If he really thought that he was her only lover then he was really an idiot. She still couldn't believe that he didn't notice that she wasn't as tight as she once was. He should have noticed that at least because her vaginal walls should be stretched out more then they once were after all the men she had been with. The moron however obviously thought that it was him doing it too her. However it wasn't and if he never found out then it was all-good. She would have someone to mooch off of and a very good fuck on the side every now and then. Who ever said that karma comes back around is a fucking baka because nothing bad was ever going to happen to her. She would always have her little fuck buddies and never get caught, so she was good in the clear. Inuyasha though was an idiot for many reasons and for all of them she would gladly get rid of him if she could.
Naraku even thought so. Good the man was one of the great kamis. He had to be the way he moved in bed. The man was a kami sent from heaven to grace her bed whenever she needed him. Though sometimes the man acted as if he didn't even care about her… or her body at least. It was weird that he acted in such a way since he was always saying that she was the best person he'd ever had and yet he acted like he didn't even care. Besides that though he was the best fuck she had so she wasn't going to give him up. Naraku was a good-looking man as well but his contact made her a little off balance. He was a very good businessman who would be her ticket out of this hellhole when the time came. She didn't really know what it was that made her so attracted to him but maybe it was the fact that they thought the same way about Inuyasha. They both thought the boy needed someone up to his speed since she was way over his limit. They both thought that Inuyasha needed a reality check or two, but hey the boy was dense. The agreed on that too and when Naraku asked her how good Inuyasha was her answer had been easy. He was a dub in bed but Naraku was a wild fire. He could go for hours until he finally came and she got off at least five times before he did. It really did feel good.
So here she sat and when the phone rang she quickly bound toward it wanting nothing more then to fuck the day lights out of her toy. It was such a good life to have and she really didn't know why everyone was so high over getting something like HIV. If she hadn't got it yet she wasn't going to. Sure people say that she really needed to cut down on the men she had before she got herself a none curable one but if she hadn't until now why would she later on. So as far as she thought she wasn't going to get some disease and could fuck anyone as long as they were good-looking and had lots of cash. After all they weren't going to get a damn disease from someone else so she wasn't going to get it from them. Who ever told her that too needed to really get a life? Like she would end up with something like AIDS. She snorted at that, like that would ever happen. She was good to go as she picked up the phone and said, "Hello." She could hear the person breathing and almost instantly knew it was the person she'd been waiting on. Naraku would call the same way every time; make sure that she was on the phone. He just like her couldn't stand Inuyasha for long and he didn't want to talk to the baka.
"Kikyo the usual place tonight," came Naraku's voice. She shook in pleasure at the silky sound. She loved the darkness that was in his voice and quickly told him that she'd be there. Then she set the phone down and grabbed a piece of paper to write Inuyasha a note saying she had gone out with her friends and not to wait up on her.
When she was done she laid it in the usual spot and then smiled to herself. Tonight she was going to get lucky and Inuyasha would be lying in 'their' bed cold and by himself. Naraku was even warmer then him, as well. It was strange that the man she married to was a bad lover and he didn't have enough body heat to make his side of the bed warm. Not that it mattered to her because many men warmed her bed over the years and still did. So after putting the note down Kikyo quickly walked to the door to leave and get her some real pleasure.
oOo
Sesshoumaru's lips pressed to Kagome's gently and his eyes closed. She melted in his embrace and he wrapped an arm around her waist to make sure she didn't fall. Leaning against the door with his hand he began to work her mouth open when they were interupted. He growled in annoyance hoping the phone would just stop ringing but when it hit the fourth ring he pulled away from Kagome's sweet mouth and walked to the phone.
Kagome stared after him and as he picked up the phone with a, "WHAT?" she slipped out of the door. She couldn't believe that had just happened, and her cheeks were flaming underneath her dark make-up.
Sesshoumaru stood in his office and waited for the person to finish. "No Kouga I will not give you Kagome's number, or let you talk to her. Plus if you approach her in anyway I will make sure your company goes down under," Sesshoumaru hissed into the phone.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER YOU CAN'T KEEP ME FROM HER! SHE'S MY WOMAN AND I WILL NOT BACK DOWN JUST BECAUSE SOME BAKA WANTS WHAT IS MINE SESSHOUMARU," Kouga howled into the phone before slamming down the phone. He would need another way to get to Kagome.
Sesshoumaru glanced over to where Kagome had stood and sighed. He'd just done something that probably made her offended. Oh well, if she had a problem with it then she could talk to him about it. He wasn't going to allow her to leave his office but still he wondered when his opinion changed? When did he actually decide that dating a colleague was a good idea? Sighing he sat behind his desk to wait for Kaguya, well at least he'd have a good reason to yell after that call. He knew it, he was jealous that someone wanted Kagome… even if at first he hadn't.
oOo
Kouga couldn't believe that had just happened. Why the hell did Sesshoumaru not want him talking to HIS woman? Were they lovers or something? No, no way would Kagome ever give her virginity to that bastard of ice.
Thinking about it he decided it would be best to call her home. Later of course but right now he would bring himself to remember the number. Right now he needed to get back to work.
He would also need another assistant. Snapping his fingers together he smiled. Picking up the phone to his secretary he quickly asked for her to put him through his Ayame Takanishie on floor 9. Once put through he quickly told Ayame to get into his office and that he had good news.
It didn't take long for Ayame to come into his office and he said, "Ayame I would like to move you up to my personal assistant. Kagura didn't work out and you are the best choice for another one."
Ayame stood there stunned. Since when had he even noticed her? Oh well she would get more money by being moved up. Nodding she told him she'd need to get her things and then she'd be right up.
Kouga nodded. This was going good. Now he wouldn't need to hire another person and he'd have someone who knew a lot about Kagome by his side.
oOo
Kagome finally got to go home later. She had to drive Nazuna back to her place first but then she could go back to her apartment to be with her lovely little kitties. Once she had gotten home though she remembered that Sesshoumaru said something about telling him if Kouga ever saw, and/or contacted her. Right if he did she wouldn't even give him the time of day.
So when she walked into the apartment two cats met her. Kirara's red eyes were shining up at her and Buyo lay off in a corner. She smiled and said, "Hey guys."
The cats stay where they were. Neither of them moved but both stared up at her. She shook her head at them and went straight to her answering machine. Three messages all-together; one from her mother, one from Sango, and one from Kouga.
"Hey Kagome, I know that I'm not the best guy to be around but I wanted to know if you'd like to go out sometime? I'm sorry for all the things I've done and please let me take you out and prove that I'm not what I seem to be," Kouga's voice filled the room.
Instantly though she still didn't understand why she picked up the phone and pulled out Sesshoumaru's home number. She began to dial and Jaken picked up.
"Yes this is Kagome Ki, Sesshoumaru-sama wished for me to call with Kouga called me and I would like to speak with him," Kagome said. She heard the older man quiet a bit and then Sesshoumaru almost instantly got on the phone.
"What is it Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Kagome sighed, "Yes you wanted to know if Kouga called. Well I have the message he left if you'd like to hear it?"
"Please," caused Kagome to go into a state of shock as she began entering the code so she could patch the message through. Once Sesshoumaru had heard the message he said, "I will speak to him in the morning, so don't worry about it Kagome."
Kagome replied, "Alright I'll see you at work tomorrow Sesshoumaru." She hung up after that and sighed. Things just seemed to be getting worse, and she was pretty sure the next thing that happened would be even worse. Yeah it was going to get worse. Something about all these different things happening to her were starting to make her think that something very bad was going to happen soon. Well at least when it did she would be ready for it.
She just hoped that Kouga left her alone after Sesshoumaru talked to him. Damn man needed to learn that she didn't like him that way. He also needed to learn that she didn't need his crap. Sighing she decided it best to feed her beloved cats, go to bed, and then think about getting another pet. Yeah she really needed to have a dog, a big fluffy white on. Yeah when she got her day off then she would go and get a nice large and yet gentle puppy.
