Inuyasha

Chapter 2: Trouble By Words

Tapping her finger slowly on her table, Kagome glance from her work to the man sitting in her office, leisurely drinking his cup of tea as he seemed most at ease like this is his office instead.

"Why are you here," she asked, bothered and annoyed by his presence.

The pale looking male with a very fair skin complexion that it was almost sickly was it not for his other attributes, like those brown-red eyes and that thick head of long wavy black hair that he had tied up into a high pony tail.

"Patience," he drawled out slowly, setting his cup down on the table as he straightened his jacket and half turned lazily to look at her, propping the side of his head with his hand elegantly with a coy smile upon his lips.

Seeing the irritation growing on her face made him muse more, as he watches her with amusement and interest.

"If you've nothing better to do, then please leave my office. Unlike you, my schedule is pack full of meetings and other urgent businesses that needs my attention," Kagome unceremoniously and pointedly gave him the dismissal her eyes glaring at him.

"I love seeing you all riled up like this, makes me want to devour you," Naraku told her, licking his lips as though being able to sample a taste of her.

A silent snarl tugged at the edges of her lips as her eyes narrowed at the male before of her. "Remove yourself from my office immediately, or I'll have security have you escorted out for nuisance and trespassing," she coldly told him, already getting impatient with him as compared to how she would usually behave.

"We've know each other for a long time have we not," Naraku lazily asked as he looked at her through half-lidded eyes.

She looked in his direction, irritated and impatient, as she pointedly looks at him her eyes as thought silently demanding to know why he is not leaving her office yet.

"I've a small business that I thought might be of interest to you, the returns is high of course, and it is all merely business of course," Naraku said, taking his own sweet time in getting to the main point of his visit.

Even after the long pause from his side and saw the same look upon Kagome's face he could only sigh mentally, not at all seeing the expression of what he had wanted and got to the main point.

"A business venture into China, in one of your fields of expertise," he took his time, still not quite getting to the main point yet.

Her index finger that is tapping onto the table became louder as she looked at him with that impatient look as always, scrutinizing the male as though she was trying to figure out means of kicking him out of her office.

"Patience," Naraku mused as he reminded her again, "We would of course, like to work with your company in putting our expertise together and forming a world class resort and casino there. Afterall, if I do say so myself, we do have a rather wonderful working relationship do we not?" he drawled his eyes though looking at her lazily through the slits, but she could see the sharpness in his eyes at that later mention.

Her eyes narrowed at him, just as calculative and dangerous as his as they faced a silent battle with their eyes, challenging one another as though waiting for the other to turn away first or to give way under first.

Beeep…

"Miss Higurashi, your 3pm, Mr. Taishō is on his way in to see you,"

Click.

"This is a surprise," Naraku drawled, his tone indicating otherwise.

"As you can see, I have a very tight schedule," Kagome told him, though her tone sound almost polite, but Naraku knows better and could only smile and shrugged at her dismissal of him, not at all getting mad over it like how he would with most of the other people that knows him.

Knock, knock, knock…

"I won't show you out," Kagome says as she set her laptop to sleep, and arranged her table before getting up, not even bothering to look at him as she strolled past the male sitting too relax and very much like that of a dangerous wild animal towards her office door as she opened it, leaving the room office space to meet with Sesshoumaru mid way.

"You're so hostile today," Naraku commented as he seemingly appeared behind of her, walking along with her pace rather too easily as he glanced at her with a smile.

"Naraku Kagewaki, are you very much done bothering me today," Kagome hissed out in demand at him in a quiet whisper enough for both of them to hear as she spun on her heels to glare at him, hands already itching to reach out and throw him over her shoulders onto the ground.

"Not very much so, you're really my muse, and more perhaps, if you would allow me," he told her laughingly his eyes dancing in a shine that she knows all to well, like that of a predator playing with it's prey.

Though who is the prey and the predator it is hard to say at the moment, and she could only take things as it comes and lay low for now. They remained silent for a while, until she heard someone giving another direction, that she looked away after a final cold hard glare at him as she went on forward to meet up with Sesshoumaru halfway through.

"I believe that you'll find, working with me might be a far better choice than you working with that Sesshoumaru Taishō," Naraku said laughingly as he followed after her in a leisurely pace, not seemingly going to do a she says and part ways that easily.

"Hello Mr. Taishō, I've been expecting you," Kagome greeted him with all smiles and proper like what had happened early between Naraku and her had never happened or that she was even annoyed or anything at him.

"Miss Higurashi," he greeted politely with a curt nodded of his head as they reached out to shake hands.

"Sesshoumaru Taishō," someone called out, as Kagome could feel a tick of her vein about slowly popping at the side of her forehead.

How is it that man like him can be so clingy like that of a woman and not let go? It's really annoying as Kagome frowned and turned her head ever so slightly in his direction, glancing from the corner of her eyes but never really quite looking at him either as she focused her attention on Sesshoumaru.

"Shall we?" she asked him with all smiled.

It was also her polite and kind behavior towards him that irritated Naraku, but he did not let it show upon his face as he watches them with all smiles and a coy smile.

"Well then Kagome-chan," he pulled her name out a little as though trying to be cute about it. Her displeasure was immediately seen as Kagome turned her head sharply in his direction, eyes narrowed at him dangerously as her lips pursed thin at his way of calling her.

"Let's set up a date soon, or I'll be missing you too much," he said playfully his eyes twinkling as he waved at her and walked away, but of course not before meeting eyes with that of Sesshoumaru's honey golden ones as though challenging and laughing at him at the same time.

The two did not say anything until the other walked out of their sight as Kagome calmed her temper down, silently promising to pay him back in kind for his behavior today.

"Mr. Taishō?" Kagome called out to him after a while, directing him to where she was planning on having their meeting in, as she lead the way, feeling the look of a certain someone boring into the back of her head.

Though who she had to thank for all these really is the person who had just left. If only he had just shut up and left without a single word, and not leave her feeling as though the person behind her is silently judging her as though she had slept her way up or something.
