Inuyasha

Chapter 8: Break's Over

Kagome was taken aback that night, and the thought of it bubbled up in her an annoyance and something else. She should have known better that there was something wrong when he had agreed too readily to her request when in usual had it been for any other, he would simply just withdraw the offer and walked away, or increase the price.

That kiss, it was consuming, and it surprised her for a few moment before she tried pushing him away. And even then, Naraku was not having it and had pinned her hands against the car, restraining her in a way that made it impossible for her to fight against him or push him away.

Growling in annoyance at that memory, Kagome punched the sofa she is sitting on as all her work and documents are laid out before of her on the coffee table. The knocking on her door disrupted her train of thoughts as she recomposed herself before giving the permission for whoever it is to enter her office.

More documents were brought in for her viewing and she was also reminded of her schedule whilst she worked. It was enough to keep her busy for now, at least until the meeting, but even then, she was still rather preoccupied as well. And it is also rather obvious as she was half listening to the meeting and reports as each of the people on their team took turns to present and give their opinions on what to improve and what not to.

"A moment," Sesshoumaru called out to her, signaling for his team of people to go on forth without him as he remained behind with her.

Kagome looked at him for a moment with a questioning look, but did said nothing until the room was left with only the two of them.

"Something the matter Mr. Taishō?" she asked politely, turning as she regarded him.

He was silent for quite a while, watching her almost too intensely that it made her wonder with mild annoyance of what he wanted. His cool honey golden eyes cool and unwavering as it pierce right into her.

"You're troubled," he commented, a little too close into her personal space as he took a closer look at her.

When he raised a sudden hand at her, Kagome saw the movement of his hand from the corner of her eyes but kept it locked with his golden ones, cool pool of gold. He saw in her eyes, that unwavering fear as though she is ready to take on the world, or even him should he pose as a challenge.

From the clouded and troubled eyes just now, he now see clearly himself in it and the challenge of it. The back of his fingers brushed against the side of her cheek as his hand paused at the side of her face before letting it down again to his side.

The feather like touch to her skin with his, was not a cold as she had expected, but a fleeting gentleness and something else that she could not quite put her finger on.

"Perhaps we will have a drink some time, when you are less troubled," Sesshoumaru casually commented after taking a step or two away from her to give her more room, his eyes never wavering or moving away from her face as he regarded her.

"Perhaps," she smiled at him politely, the smile that never really did reach her eyes, but also because this randomness is rather unexpected, coming from him, when Sesshoumaru is usually all about getting straight to business and to the point.

By the time he left and she was back in her office, Kagome was left with a few moment of blankness in her mind before she started sorting through the work that needed her attention the most.

And lucky for her, there are some that was originally occupying her mind, left her alone for the first time for days. Not bothering to contact her as well, and it made her feel as though things had finally gone back to normal, except that once in a while she would mind would wander back to him, especially after she had received the information that she had wanted to find out on him. Just that the information collected was not all that complete.

Sesshoumaru however did call her out, for dinner and drinks, not too long after their last meeting together. It was rather impeccable, how he seem to have it all planned out so perfectly, everything went so smoothly that it was something refreshing for her, most especially with her side 'jobs'.

Smiles and laughter freely came from her that night as she for once finally relax and put her guard down when around of Sesshoumaru, to which she as rather amused at how good he is in being indifferent in just about every situation, but refrained herself from teasing him about it.

Touching up on her makeup in the ladies, she was not at all expected to find herself lock in it just as Kagome was done reapplying her lipstick. It was that heated look that she was receiving that caused her eyes to immediately look into the mirror to see a particular unwelcomed 'guest'.

A silent growl upon her lips as she glared at him.

"I just could not take my eyes off you for even a short period of time," Naraku commented almost darkly with a polite fake smile as he watched her from behind of her.

All laughter and earlier smiles that was upon her face and lips were now gone, replaced with nothing but cold intentions as her body tensed and remained alert for what he might do.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you," he casually commented as he walked towards her with the gait of a graceful predator, his tone harmless sounding, but she knew better as she stood her ground.

"What is the meaning of this," she growled at him, moving away from him with a few steps as she poised her body ready to attack, ready to defend herself against him.

"Shhh…Don't ruin the mood," he told her in a low dangerous tone, grabbing her around her waist as he pressed her against the wall so she had nowhere to go to or run away from,

He reached out with a slender hand, tracing light paths up against her exposed skin as he watched her every little expression, his eyes lingering on the coral shade of lipstick that she is wearing.

"What do you even see in that Sesshoumaru," he asked in a soft unfathomable manner, a finger tracing her lips as she glared at him with irate eyes that leaked out her intentions of wanting to do some damage and harm to him.

"He will not understand the world in which we live in," he continued, face lowered to hers as his lips grazed ever so slightly against hers, moving his lips to the nape of her neck as he took in the scent of the perfume that she wears that night and moved his lips close to her ears so she could feel his warm breath against her ears.

"That puppy will go with the law to play it against people like us," he whispered into her ears.

Kagome was more or less frozen in her spot, his body pressed against hers, a little too close for comfort, but she could feel those muscle beneath the full set of black suit that he wore that night.

"But don't fret, when you have nothing left in this World, there is always I," he told her with a smug confidence to his tone as though consoling a child.

She growled, her leg raised as she tried to kick him where it will hurt the most, but at least it made him do a quick retreat.

"I do not need that coming from the likes of you," she hissed out a whisper of a shout, at him, her dress riding up a little from her earlier action, but it was not something of importance at the moment.

A slow smile curved up at the side of his lips and that shine of interest that was expressed within his eyes. He could tell, with just a little more push and how dangerous she can be will slowly be exposed to him before of his very eyes, blossoming like a sakura blossom in spring.

"You're in my way," she growled taking dangerous powerful step towards him as though there is a vendetta in each of her step.

"Always, for you," he commented with a smug grin as he walked towards, getting rid of the distance between them as he once again grab her around of her waist to pull her body up against me, but this time, Kagome was prepared as she deflected him away, with a few moves in hand-to-hand combat.

The movements, the way that he would side step or deflect her in a flurry at times, is like they are doing a form of dance as he spun her around by her hand and pulled her right back into his arms and chest with a silent enough growl from him.

"Why don't you ever dress like this for me," he asked, but the way he says it, it sounded like a demand for an answer, and that annoyed her even more.

She growled and that dangerous sinuous dance continued until someone tried to open the door but found it locked and tried knocking on it. She pushed him away with a force to add more space between the two of them, and making him stumble backwards much to her satisfaction but later glowered at him when he made a grab for her wrist as he dragged her down with him.

"You!" she hissed out when they made an impact to the ground together, with her on top of him as she tried to entangle herself away from him.
