Guys, these chapters are going to be short. Between 5k-7k. It's gonna be a shortish story really, I'm already working on the mid-ending.
The clock was hitting 7 pm and Sesshomaru was still sitting in his car in the parking garage of Kagome's condominium. He glanced down to his outfit; he looked good in his casual attire. His black button up and beige cargo pants simple yet elegant in a way, looking fine and sophisticated. He still wasn't entirely sure why he changed from the suit he wore to work this morning. He didn't care about this girl's opinion of him did he? If he didn't why was he still sitting in his car, he wondered for a moment. It was almost as if he was nervous but that is illogical, he was the lord of the west, there was nothing that can make him nervous. A hand touched his pocket, filling what was inside; when he had left the park, he did some shopping and now he was regretting the decision. It felt too right which was making him feel so uncomfortable about the entire situation. With a frown, he remembered what Kouga said, just go with it. He should take his friends advice but he was too much of a cautious being for that. It felt too much like a set up, the issue was, he didn't know who was doing the setting up.
With a quick roll of his eyes, he forced his brain to stop staling with conspiracy theories and finally got out of his car. Locking the vehicle, he headed towards the elevator and to the top floor. He wondered for a moment where the miko got the money to afford all of this; he was sure cops weren't paid that much, regardless of what branch you worked in. And the motorcycle she drove was a sleek newer model that was definitely out of her pay grade. Crossing his arms, he tapped a claw against his elbow, waiting to reach his destination; there was much to find out about this little miko.
Souta was walking in the house after a late study date... more like a late rolling around in the back seat of his car date. He blinked as he dropped his book bag by the door, hearing a soft noise. Closing and locking the door behind him, he realized it was low music playing from somewhere in the house. Now curious he followed it, realizing it was coming from the kitchen, followed by the most delicious smell he ever had the pleasure to know.
Walking inside, he seen the female he was looking for, dressed in his favorite ACDC shirt and socks, her hair freshly washed and down her back, singing to the song she had playing on the small stereo as she danced around kitchen, preparing dinner.
Blue eyes glanced over to the island, there were two plates set up, piled with food. His stomach growled just looking at it, Kagome must have heard it because she turned with a frown, brushing hair out her face before looking in his, " You better had sanitized my truck, that's a company car."
Souta just grinned, not surprised his sister knew what he was doing, " I didn't make a mess." he again looked to the table, " What's with the fancy dinner?"
She bit her lip, " You think its too much? Sesshomaru's coming over. I just..." she shook her head, setting two chilled wine glasses on the island, " I don't know." she mumbled.
Souta smiled, " Are you nervous big sis?"
She just nodded, not one to lie to her brother, " Yeah." she said as she moved back over to the counter, opening a drawer, " This could be the big night."
" And that's what you're wearing?" Souta said, knowing what she was talking about.
She pulled forks and knifes out and placed them on the counter top, " Hampton said to wear something simple."
Souta crossed his arms, " Simple, yes, just a t shirt, a big no, not for a first date."
Kagome frowned, glancing down, " I love this shirt."
" Its my shirt."
Kagome rolled her eyes, reaching up to grab napkins from the cupboard, " Then what do I put on?"
Souta thought for a moment, " Something better than that, throw on a button up and some shoes, you can't just let him know you want it. That's no fun. And pull your hair up, it looks better up."
Kagome glanced down, her baby brother was a big hit with the ladies so she usually took his advise when it came to the opposite sex, " Shit." she suddenly turned to the door, " He's here!"
Souta blinked, " What?" he glanced around, " How do you know that?"
She was already making a dash for the steps, " Just stale would you!"
Souta shook his head, " Hell no, our last convo didn't go so good."
She poked her head over the railing, pulling the shirt off, " There's a plate in the microwave if you do."
The young teen thought about the pros or cons, delicious food or facing a demon lord he hung up on? He grinned, heading into the kitchen, food it is, opening the microwave and taking out a plate wrapped in aluminum foil just as there was a knock on the door.
He took a whiff of the plate before he turned and grabbed the keys he put on the side table before he opened the door. " Lord Sesshomaru it is an honor." he said while bowing his head.
Sesshomaru just stepped into the house, glancing around as he crossed his arms, " Boy."
Souta smirked, " Still upset about that phone call huh."
Amber eyes glanced to him and Souta bowed his head once more, " Again, my apologies. I don't even know why Kagome still has a landline, its pretty old school." He looked up, realizing what he just said, " Not that I'm calling you old..." he blinked, now curious, " But you are probably pretty up there in age huh?"
Sesshomaru turned fully to the young male, he talked like her, was his first thought. He also had a similar aura to his sisters, very sheer but his was blue. Again he got the feeling it was an illusion, covering up something much more insidious. He tilted his head towards the still open door, " Get out."
Souta nodded with a grin, jiggling the keys in his hand, " With pleasure, Kagome will be down in a minute or two." Balancing his plate in his other hand, he waved as he stepped out the door, " You kids have fun!" snickering as he headed towards the elevator.
Sesshomaru watched the young boy go before closing the door; he must spend a lot of time with his sister. Their attitude and personality was damn near identical to one another. Flipping the lock, he turned and took a stroll through the house, checking out the décor. He's eyes landed on a painting hanging in the hall. He blinked, stepping forward, carefully eyeing the master piece; it was one he has never seen before.
" This can not be an original Yoshitoshi." he mumbled, seeing the signature of the famous artist.
" Oh it's real all right."
He turned to the feminine voice, seeing Kagome standing behind him, he looked her over slowly. Kagome stood before her in a large white silk button up, the softly transparent material hinting to the forest green of her lacy bra and matching underwear. White suede pumps on her small feet besides a gold anklet. She managed to put her hair up in a messy but somehow sophisticated twist bun, her manicured fingernails polished white held two wine glass in its delicate grip.
She smiled as she stepped forward, " I get one every so often."
He blinked, pulling his eyes from her body, " How is that possible?"
She handed him the cup of wine she poured for him, " His son was cursed towards the end of his career with infertility of a female. They can only have boys and no girls. A few years ago when I first got out, I helped the wife of Yoshitoshi descendant conceive a girl and they paid me with his painting in a secret vault they have."
Sesshomaru just nodded, eyes again drinking in her form, not hearing a word she just said, " Interesting." he mumbled.
She just smiled, tilting her head towards the kitchen, " Dinner's this way."
Sesshomaru followed her to the kitchen, taking a sip of the rich wine. She had set up the island as the table. Juicy, thick grilled steak, steamed vegetables, a heaping pile of cheese mashed potatoes with mushrooms and gravy lay out on a plate.
He waited for her to take a seat first before sitting down, she set her cup down and picked up her fork and knife, " So, now that we're married maybe we should go over living arrangements."
Sesshomaru cut into his steak, mildly surprised at how tender the meat was, " You will move into my home."
Kagome made a face, stabbing at carrot with her fork, " I really like my place though." She glanced up from her dinner to the sudden silence. Sesshomaru was staring at his plate as if something on it moved. She frowned, " What's wrong?" she looked to his plate, it looked like he had only taken one bite, " Oh no, you hate it. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have made steak, I knew I should have made chicken." She mumbled, standing, " I'll get you something else." Reaching for his plate.
He raised a hand to stop her, " Don't." She paused, confusion setting in, he finally looked up, " Did you cook this?"
Her eyebrows frowned, " It's that bad? People usually like my cooking."
He shook his head, " I have dined in some of the wealthiest restaurants on this earth and I have never tasted a steak this good."
Her smile lit up the room as her cheeks blushed red, " Really?"
Again he shook his head, in a state of awe, he was so particular in what he eat, so picky with his food after living for so long. It was hard to cook for him because he traveled all over the world and tasted everything there was to taste. When she offered to cook for him, he was expecting, a low grade typical Japanese meal. Something he would pick at and not fully eat, but the first bite was an explosion of flavor in his mouth that took him completely off guard. The steak was, juicy, tender and seasoned to perfection, this was a pleasant surprise.
He glanced up to her, " Where did you learn to cook?"
Kagome sat back down, " Well after I got out of jail, I was determined not to ever eat nutrition paste again. But instead of taking cooking classes, I just started reading recipe books and put my own little twist on things to see how it would taste." She shrugged a shoulder, " Turns out, I'm pretty good at it."
Sesshomaru picked up his fork again, " Interesting." he mumbled, digging into his food.
Kagome just watched him for a moment, taking a sip of her wine with a soft smile. She was happy she can please him with something as simple as a home cooked meal, " Do I have to change my last name now?"
The inu nodded, " You are married to the wealthiest man in Japan and most of the world, you should be honored."
She made a face, " How do you really feel about this? The fact that we, two strangers, are now married because of some law?"
He tasted a sauteed snow pea, the subtle flavor spiced with something smoky; it was so good he almost ignored her for a moment to finish eating. But he could feel her eyes on him, so he paused and met her gaze, " It could be worse." he finally said, reaching for his glass of wine, " You could be a shallow debutante that likes cats."
Kagome snickered, " What's wrong with cats?"
He just raised a brow, taking a sip of his drink, she laughed again, picking up her cup, " To not liking felines."
His smirk was subtle but charming as he raised his glass as well, nodding in agreement. She giggled, taking a sip. After about an hour and 45 minutes of eating, drinking and conversation, Kagome had Sesshomaru relaxed. She brilliantly weaved a story of her time in the RDSVU, she was an amazing story teller and had hilarious jokes for days. There wasn't a dull moment with this special female, and her voice was so smooth and sultry it drew you in like a dream. Sesshomaru smirked softly, rising the cup of wine to his lips, she was pretty funny, and had the cutest dimples when she smiled that made you want to pinch her cheeks. They debated, challenged each other, and learned more about each other, talked about the news, the works.
Sesshomaru found out Kagome was left handed, afraid of spiders, loves kids, likes scary movies and hates the color orange. The conversations between them flowed easily between them. The topic got to sports; Kagome immediately dived in with her favorite football teams and all her favorite players. He was impressed she knew so much but then again she had a little brother so it wasn't that much of a surprise. In all honesty, he was actually enjoying his time with her.
She was laughing, the sweet, bell like sound made him stare, " Are you serious? With all the demons and witches and super natural stuff that roam this earth, you really don't believe a zombie apocalypse is possible?"
He shook his head, sipping on his wine, "A zombie is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse. It is not achievable in reality without the help of some sort of witchcraft which would make whatever the creature was unfit for the definition of zombie. Therefore a zombie apocalypse is impossible."
Kagome simply leaned back in her seat, " Toxoplasmosa Gondii." she said slowly, " A parasite that has been proven to alter the mind of rodents so they are more likely to become prey to cats so they can reproduce. Mutation has transformed a parasite into a virus that specifically attacks the brain of their host for a better chance at survival. The parasite knows it can only start its life cycle in the intestines of a feline so it adapted to higher its rates of reproduction. Though there are crucial areas of biological difference between rats and humans, we still share 99% of the same genetic make up. All it takes is one more mutation; for the parasite to evolve enough to be able to reproduce in a human's stomach. If someone was infected with Toxoplasmosa Gondii, the parasite will alter their behavior to become prey to its predator. But who is already on the top of the food chain? So who will the parasite want to eat then? Other humans. And that is how the zombie apocalypse would start."
Sesshomaru raised a brow, impressed at her logical reasoning, " You had this conversation before haven't you?"
Kagome smiled, pouring more wine in his cup, " I read a lot."
He smirked, taking a sip of his refill, " Interesting."
Kagome laughed lightly, taking a sip of her own drink, a playfulness in their aura's danced around them, a sense of calmness relaxing their shoulders. Kagome smiled, nothing needed to be said, they were truly just enjoying each others presence. A sudden beep when off, Kagome blinked, " Oh, my brownies."
" You made brownies?"
She stood, setting her cup down, " Who doesn't like brownies." Walking over to the stove.
Sesshomaru watched her pick up a mitten and open the oven, his hand tightened around his cup. In different areas the girl was pretty smart, she knew her way around weapons and can hold an intelligent conversation on evolutionary biology. But when it came to the opposite sex she was completely clueless because there shouldn't be any part of her mind that told her bending over in front of an inu in nothing but your underwear was a good idea.
Silently he stood as she set the tray on the cooling rack to cool, she pulled the mittens off with a smile, smelling the chocolate goodness. Turning she jumped, seeing Sesshomaru directly behind her, a hand went over her pounding heart, " Shit, you scared me." she whispered.
He simply stared at her, " Why did you do that?"
She blinked, " Do what."
" You don't even realize what you're doing do you." His whispered, his voice low and husky.
She shook her head, truly confused, " What?" reaching up to scratch an itch.
Amber eyes glanced down, " Your neck is still not healed."
She blinked, trying to focus on his words and not his closeness, " I haven't checked."
Carefully a hand reached up, touching the side of the patch and slowly peeled it back. The bite wound was now healed and was replaced with the deep purplish shape of a crescent moon with a black star in the center. He frowned, stepping away from her, fuck, he marked her.
" I should go."
Kagome blinked at the sudden change in the demon lord, " What's wrong?"
He shook his head, turning away from her, " Nothing."
" Clearly it's something."
He didn't respond, eyes on the island to see where he left his keys, he had to get out of here before he did anything else stupid. " It's nothing."
She grabbed his arm before he was out of reach, her voice full of a certain emotion, " Don't lie to me. We are both stuck in this situation. It's us. Against them. We need to be a team. We have to stick together. Don't start lying to me."
He turned to her, their eyes caught and held. Her dark blue orbs so deep like the sea. They seemed so dark with secrets, so black with pain, so hard from lessons... and so hurt from experience. Her eyes held something that he was starting to see as vulnerability. She was tough because she had to be. Because of how life made her be. He can see it now. Deep down, she was alone. Something surged inside him, a need to protect. He stepped forward, sliding his hand behind her neck, pulling on the back of her head till her lips touched his.
He tasted her bottom lip with his tongue, she sighed from the pleasure it caused. When her mouth opened his tongue swept in. Kagome moaned as she felt his tongue stroke hers. She was drowning, her soul surged as his lips moved over hers. She felt sparks ignite and burst into flames threatening to consume her at any minute. She moved closer, a hand touching the smooth skin of his cheek, needing to taste more. She felt his hands slide down her cheek over her bare collarbone. His hand so smooth, warm against her skin. She pressed herself closer, wanting to be closer, this was not good enough. His hands ran down to grasp her legs and lifted her to the counter.
There was something there. Some emotion stronger than a single word. They both knew it, refused to state it, but knew it. Something more than just lust. Kissing each other lips, tasting each others mouth, with a soft, sensual desire. That emotion building, becoming a heat that spread through them both. She felt her soul surge, that all consuming fire building inside her. The soft and sensual sparks only feeding the flames, adding to the heat. Her whole body growing warmer and warmer. Her tongue tasting him, his lips, and the inside of his mouth. His taste of power, strong and fierce, almost feeding her.
His tongue was doing its own tasting, her lips, her mouth. Her cool taste of chilled ripe strawberries so invigorating, his thirst to taste her growing stronger. She moaned, loving the way he made her feel, smooth, soft lips touched her collar bone, her head tilting, giving him even more, eyes closing. Sesshomaru's mouth touched her body sweetly, undoing her button up to let it slide off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor.
She was lost to this feeling, cocooned in this heat, she liked her lips, feeling strong hands unclip her bra, realizing what was happening. Butterflies danced in her tummy, but she didn't stop, instead she reached up and began undoing the buttons of his shirt. Her hands touching all. His body was so hard; it felt so right against her. Sesshomaru slid the straps off her shoulders before grabbing a creamy breast, kissing Kagome lips again. Her lips were so soft, her skin was so smooth, her taste so addicting and sweet. The atmosphere around them cackled with heat and energy, when suddenly there was a chirp, " Mini me, check in."
" Ses, mmmmm." Kagome moaned trying to get words out as they kissed with a heated feverish desire. " Wait, wait, its work."
His lips touched her neck, sending tingles through her skin, " Answer it."
She moaned, sliding her hands up his neck into his hair. She could feel his arousal against her, driving her to new heights. It chirped again, " Blu, I know you hear me, check in."
Her hand reached out, it was over here somewhere, she knew she left it on the counter. It was just really hard trying to focus right now with Sesshomaru's lips sending desire through her veins at every touch they made to her skin.
Again a chirping interrupted them, " I'm gonna count to three little girl, check in."
Sesshomaru licked at her ear, " You better answer it." He whispered, his voice deep and husky, nibbling on the tip, his tongue darting out to stroke behind the lobe.
She shivered, her breath leaving her, small tremors rolling up her spine; her hand reached out, finally feeling her phone. She fumbled with it, her glazed eyes unable to focus, she managed to get it in her hand and pushed the walkie talkie button. " I'm here."
" Target just walked into Pleasure Cove."
Sesshomaru continued his assault on her ear blowing on the inside before his tongue slid down to her neck leaving wet butterfly kisses on her skin. Kagome bit her lip to stop the sound that was trying to come up from her throat. " Your point?"
" It looks like he's meeting with the boss but there enjoying the dancers first. T is busy bugging his house, I need you here to get a bug on him so we can listen in on the meeting."
She groaned, her hand sliding in his hair, eyes closed, " Fuck, you need me now?"
" Yes now little girl, you got 20 minutes to get down here. Hurry up."
Kagome frowned, " Shit."
Sesshomaru pulled away from her, she immediately grabbed his shirt, " Wait." she muttered, pulling him back, kissing his lips.
He blinked, but kissed her back, tasting her lips, " You have to go."
She moaned against him, her lips parting slightly. " One more taste." she mumbled.
He smirked, pulling away from her, she tried to pull him back to her but he stopped her, grabbing her wrists, " You have to go, you have a job."
She frowned, upset she wasn't getting what she wanted tonight, " Fine." she groaned, rolling her eyes.
He stepped back, letting her slid off the counter and pick up her bra. She slid it back in place before she glanced over to him, " You wanna come with me?"
Amber eyes blinked, " What."
Kagome shrugged, pulling on her button up, " It's just recon, nothing serious, I can bug a guy in my sleep."
He thought about it for a moment, it would be interesting to see her again in action, " Fine."
She nodded, " Okay, I need to grab some pants and a bag, meet you downstairs in the garage."
He nodded, buttoning up his shirt and headed for the door as she dashed up the steps to her bedroom in a slight daze. What the hell was he getting himself into, he thought, heading towards the elevator. Never had he felt anything like this for any other girl he been with. He didn't know what it was. What to call it? But it was there. He can feel it now just by thinking of her. Something inside him that's far passed just wanting her. This was so new to him, so alien; he stepped into the elevator as it dinged open, pressing the basement button.
Here he was again acting like a horny teenager around this girl, as soon as she did something Inu he was forced to touch her. And this time her aura had nothing to do with it, she had it completely controlled. He was attracted to her period, her strength was just a bonus. There was a want in him, a longing, a need... for a taste. Since the kiss they shared in his gardens, he's been having a difficult time calming his beast when the woman was around. It wanted to pounce on her and mount her in the most inhumanly way, it wanted to make her scream his name and pass out from orgasms, it wanted to completely drain all life and energy out of her to the point she couldn't even walk straight for a week. Long story short his demon wants to have sex. Badly.
It confused him, why did he want her so bad? He shook his head, trying to rid himself of the thoughts as the doors dinged open. He turned towards his car and blinked, Kagome was sitting on his hood dressed in a black tank top and black cargo pants and sneakers, a back pack on a shoulder. He walked over to her, " How did you get down here before me?"
She just grinned, sliding off the hood, " I jumped, now come on we got 15 minutes before Gruff buzz me again."
He nodded, unlocking the doors so she can get in, he climbed behind the wheel and took off out of the parking garage. He took the highway for the fastest route to the strip, " How high can you jump from without causing any damage?"
She just shrugged, pulling out her phone, " I don't know, I never measured, I never jumped anywhere higher than my place though."
She pressed the walkie talkie button, " 5 minutes inbound, location."
The phoned chirped back, " VIP, closest to the stage. We can't get close with all the strippers hovering."
Kagome smirked, strippers huh, " I'm on it."
Sesshomaru watched her place her back pack in her lap and open it. First things first, she checked her weapon of choice for the night, a wired garrote. It looked like two black Chinese hair sticks decorated with white swirls. But when you pull them apart, a thin yet sturdy piano wire was seen, she let one stick go and the wire retracted back together.
Smiling, satisfied her weapon wasn't damaged, and then pulled out her disguise. Sesshomaru blinked, she looked completely different, not even recognizing her for a moment. Her long black hair, which she trimmed so it settled neatly at her waist was now blonde due to the wig she put on. Sun bleached blonde, almost platinum. She pulled the strands around her face back and stuck her weapon of choice in her hair to hold the strands there, the rest down her back in luscious waterfall waves. She painted a seductive mole above soft plump, pink lips.
Knowing there true color would be seen if she went with anything light, she always went with the darkest brown color she could find for contacts. Mixing with her original royal blue her eyes were now a deep black. She colored her lips with a deep maroon lipstick before she turned and winked at the staring inu.
He blinked and turned his eyes back to the road, pulling off the highway, " What is the weapon for if this is just a recon job?"
She smiled, brushing on some powder foundation, " In case the job changes and I got to off this guy."
He simply nodded, pulling up to the strip, she ducked her head slightly at the crowd out front of the club, " Stop. Drop me off here. I'll see you inside, find Gruff, he'll be at the bar."
He nodded again, " Alright."
She glanced over at him and raised a brow, " You look worried."
He shook his head, " I'm not."
She just smiled, " Good." getting out of the car and heading towards the back of the club. Parking his car, in the front, he got out and headed for the entrance. He skipped the line, being Lord of the West, he never waited in lines. Was he worried? He thought, there was a small ice cube in his stomach but that didn't mean he was worried. He saw her in action before; she was good at what she did, so why would he be worried?
He nodded to the security guard as the bear demon stood aside to let him in, there were whispers as he walked by, many confirming that he was indeed the Lord of the West. But he ignored it, he was use to rumors and groupies by now. Walking inside the building, Sesshomaru headed towards the bar, Kagome was right, her adopted father and partner were both sitting at the bar, drinks in their hands, talking and nonchalantly glancing over to the VIP booth.
He walked over to them and took a seat on the right side of Gruff, green eyes blinked, " Lord Sesshomaru? What brings you here?"
Hampton leaned on to the bar, " Blu had him over for dinner tonight." he smacked the bar top to get the bartenders attention, " Honey can you get the Lord of the West some bourbon please."
The cute girl nodded with a smile, Hampton just turned in the swivel stool, " So how was the food, did she save me a plate?"
Gruff frowned, looking to his employee, " Shut up boy." he then turned to Sesshomaru as he picked up his free drink, " Ignore him, demons are maturing much slower these last few generations."
Sesshomaru's smirk was hidden as he took a sip of his drink, " Hm."
The lights suddenly dimmed. There were hoots and shouts, gaining all attention as the next dancer was about to take the stage. The DJ glanced down to the card that was given to him before he gave an intro, " Give it up for Emerald!"
Kagome took a breath as the music played, cuing her to come on stage. It was easy enough to knock out one of the strippers in the dressing room and pretend to be her replacement. She was even able to steal a pair of shoes and a coat from her knocked out friend she stuffed in her locker. She had just enough time to cover her tattoo with an enchantment before her name was called.
She walked out in a floor length trench coat, fixing her face and pure appeal and seduction. All eyes were on her as she stopped in the middle of the stage. She smiled before dancing to the song that was playing.
*Hey boy, I'm debating. If I should take you home. Should I take you home.*
She swayed her hips to the slow, seductive R&B music. Her sexy body pulling all into her trance.
* I don't mean to keep you waiting. But I just gotta know, if you're ready. He says he wanna take his clothes off. Be my guest.*
She suddenly snapped her coat open, the bra and panties set she was wearing earlier in her house.
* I decided to take my shirt off. And show my chest.*
She turned half way winning low to the ground. She came back up smiling, slowly sliding trench coat off. She spun around her hands going back in the air, moving her body to the beat.
* And we been sipping on that Merlot. So you know what's next. Perfect intermissions, switching positions, we so explicit. Oh.*
Dancing seductive to the music. She spun again, her hair wiping around like a whip of fire, turning every man on. Whining her hips slowly, smoothing her hand over the smooth skin of her stomach.
* You been saying all night long. That you couldn't wait to get me home alone. What you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it. Let me see, let me see, let me see.*
All eyes refused to leave the beauty in front of them. Kagome dipped again, coming back up in a spin. She closed her eyes, biting her lip, letting her hands run over her body as they went back to the air as she moved her body like a temptress.
* Boy I can't wait to get you home. Talk a good game mate, come on. Holler bout what you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it. Let me see, let me see, let me see.*
She suddenly pivoted, dropping to the floor, coming back up her hands over her head, rolling her hips. She turned smiling, pushing her hands out as if parting curtains she twirled on one foot, stopping she slid her leg back to her, running a hand up her thigh.
* I've been anticipating. What you would do to me. What you gon do to me. Sex babe, it's the occasion. Hands on when you're with me. Give your heart to me, yeeeeeaaaaaaah.*
She dropped to her knees and started to tick with the beat. She pushed one leg out and spun on the ground letting her hair spin with the action. She flipped back into a standing pose. Her hands went to the side of her head as she ticked her legs to the beat.
* He says he wanna take his clothes off. Be my guest. I decided to take my shirt off. And show my chest.*
Whistles and hoots going throughout the crowd as Kagome stepped off the stage, her walk like a predator, steady and graceful strutting slow and sexy. Ever male in the room stared, watching her becoming torturous.
* You been sayin all night long. That you couldn't wait to get me home alone. What you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it. Let me see, let me see, let me see.*
She cruised around the bar, slender fingers brushing against men's skin, brushing up against them, so they can smell her sweet skin. She smiled as she flirted with them, feeling there eyes on her.
* Boy I can't wait to get you home. Talk a good game mate, come on. Holler bout what you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it. Let me see, let me see, let me see. You can say it all night long. That you couldn't wait to get me home alone.*
Her eyes fell on one man in particular. She smiled as she moved closer, stopping until she was standing in front of him. Russell watched the mysterious female stand before him.
* What you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it.*
She ran a hand up her neck and the other done her thigh as she bent into an erotic pose.
* Let me see, let me see, let me see.*
Coming back up she ran her hands up his thighs climbing on top of him, straddling his waist.
* Boy I can't wait to get you home. Talk a good game mate, come on.*
She leaned over, running her hands up his chest, before she slid off him.
* Holler bout what you gon do to me. Don't talk about it, be about it.*
She undid the clip of her bra, one hand cover her chest, she wrapped it around his neck, before kissing his neck, her free hand sliding the bug into his collar. With a smirk, she turned, hands covering her chest and walked back on stage. With a slight bow, she left. Everyone just staring, too shocked at the dark beauty who blew their mind with the sexy exotic dance. There was a sudden commotion as men stood clapping, whistling, begging for an encore, giving the woman known as Emerald a round of applause.
Russell grinned at the special attention he got, smelling the sweetness of the bra the performer left on him. He turned back to his table, looking to the Russian owner of the business, " You have a lot of talent here."
Klaus nodded, even he was turned on, " I aim to please." he clapped his hairy hands, " Now, back to business."
Hampton blinked, then took a sip of his beer as Kagome left the stage, " She's good."
Gruff nodded, turning away from the stage, " That's my girl." he touched his ear as he comm link beeped softly, " I'm here."
" You still need me?"
He smirked, glancing over to the VIP section, the men and half breed were standing, taking there conversation into the office in the back. Green eyes noticed the bra the half giant tucked into the inside of his suit jacket. " You're done."
" Cool, can you send Sesshomaru around the back to pick me up, I'm still naked."
He glanced to the Lord of the West who was silently enjoying his drink, eyes on the stage as if he expected Kagome to do an encore. " Got it." he mumbled.
He cleared his throat before turning fully to the demon, " Lord Sesshomaru, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Kagome's father, Nasyu Hernoshi."
Sesshomaru blinked, turning to the man, when he first met Kagome, she introduced herself as Hernoshi, " She took your name?"
Gruff just nodded, " She had herself emancipated and I legally adopted her. So I would be the one honored to give you her hand in marriage, not Atomi."
Green eyes stayed on the Inu's face as he reached out a hand, Sesshomaru glanced to the appendage for a second before he put his glass down and grabbed it. A sudden coldness washed over him, as if a bucket of glacier water was just thrown on him. There was a power here, an ancient power that hummed through him. This man was not human he realized, pulling his hand away. His green eyes were hard, contradicting the charming smile the man wore on his face, " She's out back, waiting for you."
Sesshomaru blinked, realizing what just happened, he was just threatened. His amber eyes narrowed at the man, his aura pulsed angrily for a moment but he tamed it, the last thing he needed was to explode in a strip club. He would be all over the news, tabloids and internet in a matter of minutes. Slowly he stood, stuffing his fists in his pockets to stop from hitting the man that was still smiling at him.
" We will discuss this later." he hissed, turning towards the entrance.
Gruff just smiled, " Looking forward to it."
He almost stopped at the sarcastic respond, almost turned and jawed the guy in the face but he didn't. He restrained himself and headed outside into the night, thinking of one thing, Kagome; she was still waiting for him to pick her up.
He pulled his car around to the same spot he dropped her off and simply waited. A minute or two passed before the car door opened and she slipped inside. Amber eyes glanced over, she was wrapped in the trench coat she wore on stage. A brow raised as he pulled off, knowing that meant she was still naked, " Where are your clothes?"
Kagome grinned, glancing to the demon lord, " There was a fight in the dressing room." she pulled her wig off, " Hating bitches."
His lips slanted up softly in a smirk as she leaned her head back to take her contacts out, replacing everything in her bag that was under the seat. Shaking her hair free, she smiled and again glanced over, " So, enjoyed the show?"
His smirk widened just a bit, " You are very talented, where did you learn to dance?"
Kagome laughed, leaning back in her seat, " I always had moves, even when I was a kid." she shook her head at the thought of her childhood, " I wanted be in broadway." she mumbled.
Sesshomaru glanced over at the soft sigh that came next, there was a look of longing on her face, " Why not fulfill the goal after you were released?"
Kagome snorted, " Yeah right, 18 years old, fresh out of jail and no training. I had to worry more about where I was going to sleep than getting into a good dance school." she sighed with a soft shake of her head, " It was something I had to give up." she muttered, then shrugged with a roll of her eyes, " Besides, Izanami made it clear she wanted me to serve for her."
Sesshomaru glanced over again, but decided not to say anything about it, Kagome glanced over and smiled, changing the subject, " So, what do you want to do now?"
Again amber eyes glanced to her for a moment, drinking in her silhouette. So many ideas came to mind of what he wanted to do now but instead he simply turned away, " Perhaps this was enough fun for the night."
Kagome smirked, leaning back in her seat, " He got to you didn't he? Gruff?"
Sesshomaru frowned, but his eyes narrowed at the mention of the man's name, " We shook hands."
Kagome just nodded as he got off the highway, she already knew the demon lord came in contact with her adoptive father, his aura tends to linger. Nothing was said as Sesshomaru finally pulled the car into the garage of the miko's condo apartment. Kagome tightened the belt to the stolen trench she was wearing, " This was fun, I'll talk to you later." she said, opening the door.
A hand suddenly grabbed hers before she could exit the car, she turned and stared at the appendage. His hand was strong, firm yet smooth, her blue eyes glanced up, amber orbs looked to her, their eyes caught and held, as if magnetized together. Molted amber against the dark sea, smoldering, mesmerizing. She couldn't seem to move, her eyes, her limbs, not even her tongue would obey her. His eyes held something that held her motionless, they called to her, they seemed to see into her. She felt drawn closer, and still irresistibly closer.
She felt, but never registered, when he shifted, his hand moving from her wrist and skimmed her cheek. Those piano fingers sliding into the silky strands of ebony, pulling on the back of her head till her lips touched his.
He tasted her bottom lip with his tongue, she sighed from the pleasure it caused. When her mouth opened his tongue swept in. Kagome moaned as she felt his tongue stroke hers. She was drowning, her soul surged as his lips moved over hers. She felt sparks ignite and burst into flames threatening to consume her at any minute. She moved closer, a hand touching the smooth skin of his cheek, needing to taste more but he pulled away, " Call me once you get upstairs safely." He whispered, his voice low and husky.
She nodded, eyes still closed, trying to slow her racing heartbeat, " Okay." she mumbled, grabbing her bag. She fumbled with the door for a moment, her mind so unfocused, finally getting it open, she got out. With a quick glance behind her and a soft smile, she headed over to the elevator. Sesshomaru waited until she stepped in and the door slid closed before he decided to pull off, fighting the urge to follow her upstairs. The girl caused something interesting to stir in him that was different but he was beginning to realize he liked it.
Tell me what you think!
