Sesshomaru and Kagome: An Elevator Ride
"Wonderful news, Kagome! We have a vacation!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"We do?" Kagome asked, twirling around to face Sesshomaru.
"Yes. The corporation owners are meeting in Paris next week and I've been invited to come with a guest. Pack your bags. Here we come, France!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"Glad I know my French," Kagome commented under her breath, turning back around.
"Me to, dear. Or I wouldn't be able to be going!" Sesshomaru exclaimed.
"But how is this a vacation?" Kagome asked, turning back around after a thought came to mind. "It's a meeting with some big boss heads."
"Well, it's a string of meetings, with breaks between them. Like one is Tuesday, the next Thursday, then Friday, then Monday. We're returning Tuesday," Sesshomaru told Kagome.
"Oh, interesting," Kagome stated.
"Yes, and the guys are best of buds with me. But..." Sesshomaru trailed off until Kagome eyed him suspiciously, "... it's in a hotel."
"Yeah, so? You too high up to stay in a hotel?" Kagome asked.
"Every room is for two, but one bed. You know? Like, if you're coming alone, you get an 'escort' to your room, and she or he doesn't leave until 9 the next morning," Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "My father had it like this at all his meetings, so everyone else followed."
Kagome giggled. "So what? It's not like we've never slept in a bed before together. Just you'll need to keep Jr. quiet all week long. I felt him last night," Kagome growled, turning back to her desk. Sesshomaru blushed and looked to the ground. He couldn't help it; it wasn't his fault Kagome chose to wear her silk, light pink nightgown and lay extremely close to him last night!
"It was your fault. No, you mother's. She gave birth to an extremely hot, beautiful woman who looks extremely good in silk nightgowns!" Sesshomaru fought back. Kagome chuckled out loud.
"Rich, Sesshomaru. That one is rich," Kagome laughed.
"Plus, she like likes to get uncomfortably close," Sesshomaru murmured under his breath, which Kagome luckily didn't catch. He didn't want to lose his opportunity to sleep next to her because of that comment.
"So, we're leaving tomorrow?" Kagome asked. It happened to be Sunday.
"Yeah. Half a day of relaxation and then a meeting. You can come or stay in the room. But everyone who was invited has to attend Thursday's meeting; mandatory meeting," Sesshomaru told Kagome.
"Fine with me. I'll go to them all with you, if you want me to," Kagome told Sesshomaru. "But I understand if you are embarrassed to be seen around me."
"I'm not, just as long as you don't eat like you did when I cooked breakfast," Sesshomaru told her. "So, get a-packing!"
Kagome sighed, turning back to Sesshomaru and standing up with a file under her arm. "I need to deliver this first, all right?"
"Fine. I'll drive you to your place so you can pack. I'll pick you up around 7 to go to the airport and we'll check into our accommodations in four hours, if that is all right you," Sesshomaru told her, watching her as she passed him to the elevator.
"Yeah, sure. Just as long as you don't mind me falling asleep on the flight. I'm never good at waking up before 7," Kagome sighed as she elevator rang as she entered. "Meet me downstairs in the front, ok?"
Sesshomaru nodded just as the doors closed and Kagome headed to the 30th floor. She only hoped Kouga wasn't there this time.
She walked out, her heels clicking on the floor as she headed to the main office. She was told so by Sesshomaru for he didn't want his messages mixed up by some stupid secretary, no offence to Kagome.
She was about to knock on the door, but thought against it. Should she just slip it under the door or just leave, telling Sesshomaru to deliver it tomorrow, before they left? She thought against both ideas, and knocked quietly.
"WHAT!" A snappy voice demanded. Inuyasha? What was he doing here?
"Package for Mr. Wolfe," Kagome called out.
"Inuyasha, sit down and relax," Kouga's voice demanded. Then it came sweetly, "please come in, miss."
Kagome turned the doorknob after a deep sigh and stepped in. Inuyasha growled, staring at the floor, but once he saw the bare, perfect legs and heels, he travelled up slowly. Once he got to the face, he gasped. Kagome? What was she doing here? He thought she would be working.
"Mr. Youkai wanted this delivered personally, but didn't have the time," Kagome told Kouga. She was told to keep it very professional.
"Kag... I mean, Miss Miko, what are you doing here?" Kouga asked.
"I'm working, what do you think, Mr. Wolfe?" Kagome asked playfully, placing the package on Kouga's desk delicately. "Now, sir, if you don't mind-"
"I thought you said you had a job," Inuyasha spoke up suddenly. Kagome turned her gaze to him, somewhat seriously.
"I do," Kagome told Inuyasha.
"What is it? And how is it here? And who for?" Inuyasha questioned. Kagome lowered her gaze to the floor and then back to Inuyasha's eyes.
"Not now, Mr. Hanyou. Someone is picking me up and is waiting downstairs. I need to go," Kagome told Inuyasha and turned to Kouga with a beaming smile and clicked out of the room and to the elevator. Inuyasha and Kouga both ran to Kagome's sides at the elevator.
"Kagome, what are you working as, a messenger?" Kouga asked with a playful smile. "You could have been mine. I was in need of a replacement."
"But Ayame is your fiancé. Why would you need to replace her?" Kagome asked with a cute smile.
"I'm not her fiancé. She lies," Kouga said, lowering his gaze to the ground.
"Right. Anyways, who are you working for?" Inuyasha asked.
"Who do you think?" Kagome asked with a complete tone of seriousness, but didn't look at him. The elevator finally came and all three climbed aboard.
It was silent for a short while until Inuyasha spoke up.
"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome didn't answer, just stared up at the number that slowly decreased. 10, 9, 8...
"Is it, Kagome?" Kouga asked. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...
"Look, I can't say," Kagome finally answered as the bell rang and she quickly exited the cramped area. She saw the red Ferrari parked in the front and a beaming Sesshomaru. But he saw her unwanted company and quickly sped off. 'Thanks for ditching me, Sesshomaru,' Kagome thought to herself with an imaginary glare.
"It is Sesshomaru, right?" Inuyasha asked as he pushed the doors of the building open and walked through with Kouga and Kagome.
"I can't say. Now, I really need to get home," Kagome told the two men, looking around. Where did that dog run of to?
"I could drive you, if you desire," Kouga offered, who received a glare from Inuyasha. It didn't effect him at all. "So, how would you like it?"
"No, I would like to go alone. Plus, I don't think I'm going home. Goodnight Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Hanyou," she said with a small bow of her head and started heading the way home. Oh, when she got her hands on that Sesshomaru...
"Wait, Kagome!" Inuyasha exclaimed, running in front of Kagome. Kouga had already returned inside. "Are you going to Sesshomaru's? Did he hire you? Are you two dating or something?"
"I can't say, Inuyasha. I really don't know myself, to tell you the truth," Kagome lied. Of course she knew who had hired her, if she and Sesshomaru were dating, and if whether was going to Sesshomaru's or not.
"Kagome, all I want is to know," Inuyasha told Kagome, holding her hand. "I care, you know that."
"Yeah, and I know if I don't get home soon, I'll be in big trouble. Please, let me continue," Kagome pleaded Inuyasha.
Inuyasha sighed and nodded, releasing Kagome's hand. She continued until Inuyasha called her name again.
"Are you doing anything next week?" Inuyasha asked.
"Actually, I'm going to be out on vacation. Sorry," Kagome said with a wave, and continued home. Yeah, it's be one hell of a vacation for her, but a hell for Sesshomaru. One night: a black eye. Next night: unable to have kids anymore. Next night: concussion. Next and finally night: slit throat with blood running down on their sheets and her statement that she "slept through it all." She smiled evilly. An idea, but not going to happen. She could barely injure Sesshomaru with her words, how did she expect to kill him? He never slept anyways.
The screech of rubber burning was heard and then a red Ferrari skidded next to her. She nearly jumped out of her skin, but then saw Sesshomaru in the driver seat, rolling down the window with a touch of a button.
"You all right?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Perhaps lost a few heartbeats for a few minutes, but other than that, yeah," Kagome said sarcastically. "What is up with you, anyways?"
"Just hop in. I'll drive you the rest of the way," Sesshomaru told her. She sighed and walked around to the other side, climbing in. "So, everything all right? Any new bruises?"
"No, but a little startled. You didn't need to all of a sudden screech up next to me," Kagome told Sesshomaru, laying her purse at her feet and buckling up as Sesshomaru started driving Kagome home.
"What did they want?" Sesshomaru asked.
"To know who hired me," Kagome answered, leaning against her door.
"You didn't tell them, did you?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Do I look like stupid to you?" Kagome asked rudely. "What type of dimwit would?"
"True," Sesshomaru agreed, turning onto Kagome's street. "May I stay the night?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What about your bags?" Kagome asked. "Your suitcase?"
"I packed it already. Had it in the trunk. Didn't expect me to miss one night just to pack some stinking clothes, did you?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome shrugged. Actually, she did. She didn't hope for it, for she would miss the warmth he gave her, but she would never tell him that, not even if her life depended on it.
"So, pack for a week, all right? Get all your necessaries and you pads and everything," Sesshomaru told Kagome. Her eyes went wide. What the hell?
"Pads?" Kagome asked, turning to look at Sesshomaru to see a red light up his cheeks. "Something you wish to tell me, Sesshomaru?"
"Do you understand how hard it is to sleep next you, while you're on your period?" Sesshomaru demanded, trying to be tough and blame it on her, but his cheeks grew another darker shade of red.
"And how would you know, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, looking at him with a teasing smile. She was just glad his eyes were on the road.
"I work with you. I sleep next to you. I spend almost every living and conscious second near you. It doesn't help I have an extra sensitive nose, Kagome," Sesshomaru told her, the red never leaving his cheeks. "And plus, you leave your garbage in clear sight."
"Lie, Sesshomaru. I cover it up, so your iddy-widdy nose doesn't smell it," Kagome said, tapping his nose which cutely twitched to the contact. She chuckled as he harshly parked, causing Kagome to jerk forward. The seatbelt bucked, freezing and causing a red mark along her front diagonally. She glared at Sesshomaru who was already out of the car. She followed, harshly grabbing her purse from the seat. "What is exactly your problem?"
"Kagome, I am going to be stuck with you for a whole week, with you have blood leaving you body 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are going to be meeting with a bunch of demon bosses, who have just as or more sensitive noses. That, Kagome Miko, is my problem." Sesshomaru told her completely truthfully. "And I really don't want them all over you. It is quite the reason you felt me last night."
"Not you, Jr." Kagome corrected and saw Sesshomaru roll his eyes. "And why would they be all over me?"
"Blood turns demons on. Blood makes their blood boil. Blood coming from a female makes them completely crazy," Sesshomaru explained.
"Doesn't explain you, then," Kagome joked, and receive a small, sarcastic smirk. "Sorry, sorry. Continue."
"So, the entire room will be filled with demons, you the only human. Who is bleeding. Non-stop. That comes from her most sexual body part. Put the damn pieces together," Sesshomaru told her rudely.
"So, when I enter the room-" Kagome was interrupted.
"When you enter the building," Sesshomaru corrected.
"Sorry. So when I enter the building, every... thing inside will know I'm on my time and be crazy about me?" Kagome asked.
"On the dot. But what angers me even more, dearest, is that most of those 'things' are my friends. Going after my girlfriend. Not pleasant," Sesshomaru told her. "Even when I can't even have her. And going through this entire torture every single freaking night!"
Too much info... Kagome covered her eyes, trying to drown out his sentence, but it already plagued her mind. "Thanks for giving me nightmares, Sesshomaru. Now I won't be able to get you off my mind." It wasn't anything special. She usually couldn't. "But don't worry," Kagome added. "I'm done tomorrow."
"Lovely, but your smell won't drain out until a week later. What a lovely time to be on it," Sesshomaru sighed.
"Well, you can control yourself, right? Just tell your friends to," Kagome told Sesshomaru.
"Ok, I can kiss you. That's my break. I refuse to let my friends kiss you. And plus, as you found out last night, sometimes I can't," Sesshomaru told her.
"So, you still are a male? Shocking," Kagome commented, walking up her steps. "I always thought you were just something out of the ordinary. Not turned on by anything."
Sesshomaru waited until she closed her door when he sighed. How the hell would she know when he was turned on? Just hearing her talk now, he was starting to feel a strain in his pants. No one else made him feel this way. It was odd...
"Sesshomaru," rang through the house, "have you seen my suitcase?"
"Under your bed," Sesshomaru replied and smiled. She would always be the same. He could count on that.
Disclaimer: Look, some things have come up, with writing a couple new stories. I've, like, been getting TONS of ideas for more Sess + Kag stories! Perhaps not as good, but I'm working on them! So, the updates might not be as frequent. BUT, don't fret. I have TWO WEEKS off from school for the holidays. WaHoo! So, there might be a lot of updates in, like, a day. And, I'd like to wish every one a happy holiday, no matter what religion. If only there was a special holiday Inuyasha episode...
