Sesshomaru and Kagome: An Elevator Ride
"Hello, welcome to Inu Corp. How may I help you?" Kagome asked as she answered the phone.
"Is he there?" A snappy voice asked.
"Mr. Youkai, sir?" Kagome asked.
"No, Frankenstein. Is he there?" The voice demanded.
"Sorry, sir, but Mr. Youkai isn't here. May I ask who this is?" Kagome asked in a cheerful voice. She had to be; Sesshomaru warned her that if she wasn't, he would get a crappy rep, and he didn't need that.
"Inuyasha Hanyou. I need to talk to him. It's urgent. Are you sure he isn't there, miss?" The man demanded.
Inuyasha? He didn't recognise her voice over the phone! "No, he has gone out. May I take a message?"
"Yeah, get him to call me back. He has my number, and you just got my fricken name. It's urgent, so just tell him for me, all right?" Inuyasha told her. There was a pause. "Are you single?"
"Is that a question for Mr. Youkai?" Kagome asked, trying her best not to feel like laughing.
"No, you. Are you single?" Inuyasha asked, his snappy tone leaving him into a soft tone.
"I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend. Sir, if that is all, I need to get back to my papers," Kagome told Inuyasha. "I'll give Mr. Youkai the message the instant he walks in, if that is all right with you."
"I could just tell him personally. Or give you some company while Sesshomaru's away," Inuyasha said in a swoony tune.
"No, I'll just have him call you back. Good-bye, sir," Kagome said with a smile she knew Inuyasha couldn't see and hung up as quietly as possible. And then she burst out laughing. Inuyasha was so weird!
"Something funny?" Sesshomaru asked, walking into his floor and closing the door behind him.
"Inuyasha," Kagome replied with just a glance behind her.
"He called?" Sesshomaru asked. But he knew the answer. "How did you handle it?"
"He was hilarious. He didn't even recognise my voice. Kept asking to come up or if I was single," Kagome told Sesshomaru and felt two hands on her shoulders.
"Cute," he said with a smirk. "How long have you been working?"
"You know only two minutes," Kagome told Sesshomaru.
"That's too long. Time for a break, don't you agree?" Sesshomaru asked, massaging her shoulders at just the right amount of force.
"Am I a distraction from your work?" Kagome asked, looking up at him. "I really would like to work, not just doodle all day."
"Ok," Sesshomaru sighed with disappointment. "I guess I understand."
Kagome smiled and turned to her papers she had to do. "Now, can you help me with this. Where do each of these go?"
Sesshomaru sighed and smiled, telling her how he liked them filed. Alphabetically, after their rank. Kagome sighed.
"I'm never going to get this," she complained.
"All you need is time. And practice," Sesshomaru told her with a peck on her cheek. "Now get to work."
Sesshomaru and Kagome worked all day. They each had separate desks and corners for work so they could work at the same time. But even with the distance and difference, Kagome almost knew Sesshomaru kept staring at Kagome instead of working.
"Mr. Youkai, I need your permission for an order," a familiar voice said. Kagome just barely peaked over her shoulder to see who it was. Hey, it was Kouga!
"Mr. Wolfe, what is it that you are ordering?" Sesshomaru asked, and Kagome heard his chair scrap again the tile floor he was on just recently.
"Computer replacements for the ones that broken and are old," Kouga told Sesshomaru.
"Hum..." Was heard and then some scribbling. "I'll go with it, but don't over stock. We don't need more wasted computers in storage again."
"Yes, sir," Kouga said in a cheerful mood, and then it went silent, but Kouga did not leave. "Who's she?"
"Who, her? New secretary. Aren't you?" Sesshomaru called to Kagome. Kagome gave a hand, keeping her eyes on her files she was putting together.
"What's her name?" Kouga asked eagerly. "And is she single?"
Kagome sighed deeply. Why did everyone want to date her?
"She is not, and you know her name already, doesn't he?" Sesshomaru called again.
"I am trying to work, sir," Kagome snapped.
"Kagome?" Kouga asked. "Was this your new job?"
Kagome turned and faced Kouga with a smile. "Yep, sweet Sesshomaru over there offered it and I just couldn't refuse."
"Oh, you drugged her, didn't you?" Kouga turned to Sesshomaru with a playful smirk and hit him on the shoulder playfully. "Hey, just kidding. Look, congratulations. Treat her nice. Better than Inu-dork, ok?"
"You know it," Sesshomaru told Kouga with a smile. "We've already slept together, so I'm doing great."
"Really? How is she? She screaming or moaning type?" Kouga asked eagerly. Kagome grabbed a textbook and threw it at the boys, who Kouga caught easily. "Looks like she doesn't want us to talk about it."
"Not like that, Mr. Wolfe. Plus, I don't kiss and tell," Sesshomaru said with a playful smirk like he just got something very special.
"Mr. Wolfe, don't you need to get back to work?" Kagome asked with a threatening smirk on her face.
"Oh, no he doesn't Kagome. Plus, take this textbook back," Sesshomaru told Kagome, throwing the textbook back at Kagome, who just barely got hit by it.
"Watch it!" Kagome snapped.
"You get back to work," Sesshomaru ordered.
"You weren't like that two minutes ago," Kagome murmured. Sesshomaru just smiled.
"So, what do you think she'll be like?" Kouga whispered, but Kagome could still hear.
"Screaming, most likely. All are with me," Sesshomaru said with a smirk. Gosh, guys were so open with their sex lives!
"So true. Same with me. Only one was a moaner, but I was drunk that night," Kouga told Sesshomaru and they both laughed.
"Aren't you every night?" Sesshomaru chuckled. Both guys broke out into howls.
"Sir, my I take a break?" Kagome asked. She didn't want to be in the same room as them as they talked about her like that, guessing how she would be. She didn't even know how she would be.
"You've only been working for three minutes!" Sesshomaru stated, the after-effects of the laughter still staying. She gave him the "serious" look and Sesshomaru turned serious. "Kouga, please get back to work."
"Yeah, sure sir," Kouga told Sesshomaru and winked at Kagome before leaving down the steps. Kagome turned back to her work, really pissed off at Sesshomaru.
"Look, we didn't mean it," Sesshomaru said.
"Yeah, right," Kagome snapped.
"Look, Kagome, I didn't mean to upset you. We guys are like this. We are open, especially me and Kouga. Sorry," Sesshomaru told her, touching her shoulder with a comforting hand.
"I wouldn't be so pissed if... If... I knew myself..." Kagome said almost silently.
"I can't image how hard it must be, hearing all this talk about people and their sex lives and you not even having one," Sesshomaru said, rubbing her shoulder.
"It's not that I don't have one!" Kagome snapped, though that obviously was a lie. "It's just I have no one to share it with... And I'm not just going to do it with someone off the streets. I want my times to be with some special and caring and nice and sweet... Like the one for me."
Sesshomaru could understand. That's how it was with all demons. That scary time every time they were almost to that peak. Mate or don't mate? If they did, they were with that person forever. But if they didn't, they might just miss out on their one true love.
"I can understand that," Sesshomaru told her.
"How? You get any woman you want!" Kagome snapped.
"Not you," Sesshomaru told her, pulling a chair up next to her and sitting down. "You're the only one I want now."
"Sweet," Kagome murmured.
"At least I have one of the qualities," Sesshomaru joked. Kagome cracked a smirk.
"You have them all, Sesshomaru. But, perhaps... perhaps I'm not meant to be with someone. As Sango said, she didn't want me dying as an old lonely woman, but looks like I'm going to be," Kagome sighed.
"No, you won't. You'll find that one person," Sesshomaru told her and pulled her to look at him. "Perhaps now, perhaps in thirty years. You will find someone. You're intelligent beyond your years. Your beauty is no exception. Your personally is unforgettable. You will find that someone, I guarantee that, Kagome. Or I'm a money's uncle." He paused. "If Inuyasha had a child by Kikyou, then I just might be."
"Hey, that's my twin!" Kagome remarked.
"She can't be. She's your complete opposite. She doesn't even look like you," Sesshomaru told her.
"That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me," Kagome told Sesshomaru with a slight pink glow to her cheeks. "Thank you."
"Look, I'll tell Kouga to cut the remarks, ok? Until I find out the truth," Sesshomaru told her, stroking her hair.
"Find out the truth?" Kagome asked.
"Look, I know you're probably not going to like this, but I want the privilege to have you in my bed, unclothed and in great passion. I want that opportunity," Sesshomaru told her.
"How censored," Kagome remarked.
"Look, just, when you are ready of course, I want to be that first one you give your body to willingly. Just give me that one wish, ok?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome took a sigh and quickly thought it over before looking into Sesshomaru's golden eyes.
"Sure, Sesshomaru. I'd loved to. You have everything I'm looking for, so why not?" Kagome asked. It was silent between them. "Just promise me one thing."
"What's that?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Well, I've heard that some people's first times hurt like hell because their partner is so experienced and everything, so, um, can you try to be, um, as soft as possible?" Kagome asked, her cheeks flaring. How embarrassing to be asking Sesshomaru this! But she loved him, so she could tell him anything, right?
"You don't seem to quite understand. It's the first intrusion and the breaking of the barrier that hurts," Sesshomaru told her like he was some health teacher. "If that's what it is, then when Inuyasha did what he did, it should have hurt like that." It was silent. "Kagome, did it?"
"Not like that. He barely entered. The only pain was from the beating I felt. No breaking of anything, for that matter," Kagome told Sesshomaru, her cheeks almost dark red.
"Oh, well, Kaggie, you, my love, are still considered a virgin," Sesshomaru told her. "But explain to me why you were bleeding then?"
"He was rough. That's all I'll say. Plus, he couldn't keep still," Kagome told Sesshomaru with a glare.
"Ouch," Sesshomaru winced. He gave Kagome a comforting smile and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, rubbing the one he could reach. "We'll get off this topic, ok?" He received a nod. "I'm just glad you can open up to me like this."
"You were there. You saw what he did. You knew how stupid he was. It's only fair you know all the details."
"Ok, so let's get to work, hum?" Sesshomaru asked, placing a average kiss on her lips. "Hum?"
"Yeah, sure," Kagome told him with a smile. Sesshomaru stood up and returned the chair to the counter. "And Sesshomaru," he turned to her, "thank you."
He smiled then motioned her to turn around and start working.
"Wait, you need to call Inuyasha back. He said it was urgent!" Kagome exclaimed, finally seeing the note she had wrote to herself. Sesshomaru smiled and she heard him dialling Inuyasha's office number.
