working on all unfinished stories
After getting an escort from Yvonne, Miroku found himself on one of the lower floors in the buildings. He was following Kara to the office of the proposal writer of the company. The young girl was smiling, " From what I heard Ms. Taijiya is the only writer Lord Sesshomaru trusts with is business proposals. If she doesn't write it, he doesn't sign it."
Miroku raised a brow, " She must be very talented."
Kara just nodded, as they turned a corner, he blinked, seeing an older woman standing outside an office watering a plant, she wasn't alone though, she was talking to a woman. She was of average height for a woman about 5'7 with brown eyes and long dark brown hair. She wore pink eye shadow, and her long hair was up tight in a high ponytail. She was currently donned in a black skirt suit with starch white blouse underneath, her shoes a low heel.
Miroku blinked, feeling his heart momentarily skip a beat, interesting, he thought. Miroku stood at a distance, watching them not even notice them coming closer. The woman was nodding, her ponytail swaying ever so gently, she touched her cheek, giggling to whatever the older woman was saying.
It made him blink again, she was too cute, putting on his best smile, he walked over with Kara, needing to find out more about this mysterious girl. " Good morning, ladies, how are we doing today."
The woman watering the plants turned and smiled, " Today is wonderful, thank you."
His eyes were already on the beauty standing next to her, " And who is your lovely friend."
The plant lady just shook her head at the clear womanizer, " This is Sango Taijiya."
Miroku bent one knee, taking the hand of the woman in his own, " Lovely Sango, would you do me the honor of bearing my children?"
Sango raised a brow at the monk, then looked to the elder beside her, " Is he serious?"
She just shrugged a shoulder, Sango looked back to the man, " Are you serious, I don't even know you."
Mirkou stood, pulling Sango closer, " You can get to know me."
Sango frowned, a knee connecting with the groin of the pervert in front her, she watched him drop to the ground with a groan. She rolled her brown eyes, " Hentai."
Kara laughed, " Ms. Taijiya, this is Miroku Houshi, Lord Sesshomaru sent him to you to work on a proposal."
Sango raised a brow, " Really?"
Miroku stood slowly, sucking in air through his teeth to control the pain, " Oh yes my sweet Sango. I am Lord Sesshomaru's personal image consultant."
She just made face, then rolled her eyes. " Then step into my office Mr. Houshi."
He grinned, slowly stepping forward while Sango just watched him with a raised brow, this was going to be a long proposal she thought. Closing the door behind her as she stepped in after him.
Kagome was all smiles as her and her husband laid against each other, relaxing in the steamy water. " I can't believe you own Rainsu Hot springs."
The pool they were in was large enough to fit about 5 people comfortably and came up to their shoulders if they were standing. The water was a cloudy white due to the bubbling heat but clean. There was a smooth wooden stool long enough for them to sit on, so the water came up to their chest. On the other side of the room was a manmade waterfall with the water cascading just in front of a vent of coals, warming the air around them like a sauna.
Sesshomaru sat behind her, his arms on the edge of the pool, " I don't, I just own this private room."
Kagome was smiling, her hair floating around her, laying against his chest, the stool they sat on large enough to allow her to pull her legs up against her, " You're really good at what you do." she giggled, talking about the amazing sex that just took place in the warm water.
Sesshomaru glanced down, a smirk on his face, as soon as they stepped into the room, they were all but attacking each other, at times Kagome rode him like a champion jock which left him panting. " You're not so bad yourself."
Kagome laughed, snuggling against his chest, surprised she wasn't pruny yet, they had to have been in the water for at least an hour by now. " I can get use to this." she mumbled, rubbing his chest with her cheek.
Sesshomaru looked at her, " Luxury is a perk of being married to a demon lord."
Kagome smirked, " Luxury is not what I'm after." she corrected, " I meant I can get use to you."
A hand threaded through her wet hair, making her look up, " This lifestyle is not suited for most, are you willing to change who you are to fit the title of lady?"
She blinked at the question, there was a sincerity in his voice, it made her raise a brow, " Would you want me to?"
A smirk played on his face as he again glanced to the waterfall, " I suppose there would be some benefits to keeping you around."
She laughed, rolling her eyes, " Shut up." she then smirked, looking to him. He saw the look out the corner of his eyes and glanced to her, " What?"
Her lips closed the distance and met his, kissing him with a tender passion. Her tongue eagerly sliding between his teeth to find his, tasting the masculine flavor of power. He kissed her back, her soft lips juicy and addicting, her sweetness something he continued to crave for.
Kagome drew back with a wicked smile. " There is something I always wanted to try."
He raised a brow at her, but she just continued to smile, he watched her take a deep breath, slowing her heartbeat. Placing her hands on his chest, she scooted her body down his, sliding sensuously over his aching manhood, then disappeared under the cloudy surface of the water.
Chills spiked through him as fingers brushed bare skin, his mind fuzzily registering what was about to happen. He could feel her soft skin around him; anticipation of the exquisite pleasure to come caused his manhood to tighten further. Much to his embarrassed annoyance, it seemed to have a mind of its own and rose too quickly, as though eager to bury itself into her warm, tight flesh. Kagome felt his obvious excited response and grabbed him.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes, he could not see, but he could feel. He knew, he can feel her move closer, she was close…
The tip of her tongue met the head and he gasped. Her tongue claimed him once more, this time in a swipe from tip to base that tore a growl from his throat. When she took him fully into her mouth, his hands automatically gripped the wood around him.
It was the sweetest form of torture he could imagine. She was good, very good, able to take most of him into her sweet, hot mouth, using her hand to grasp him at the base. Each flick of her tongue made him groan. She sucked him off slowly, drawing nearly his entire length into her before pulling back, sucking hard on his throbbing member as she went.
His head fell back, he wanted her to go faster, but he couldn't even conjure up the right words to make a request. His mind was a fog of lust, she circled her tongue around the head, sending a shudder through him.
He felt the sensation, the feeling of imminent explosion, and she wouldn't fucking go faster. His breaths were shallow, he clutched at the wooden base of the pool so hard his hands hurt.
" Damn." His words collapsed around Kagome's warm mouth. The slow sucking from the base to the tip, long, agonizing strokes were driving Sesshomaru crazy. Pulling up quickly and sliding down gently causing Sesshomaru to groan in pleasure. She twisted her tongue around, licking the entire shaft and then moving up again. He glanced down, his eyes filled with lust and pleasure, the cloudy water not allowing him the pleasure of watching. She took the whole thing in her mouth, then took it out. She licked the underside, then made a kiss on his head, making his head fall back with a breath.
Sesshomaru groaned closing his eyes. She moved faster. Finally, moving to a fast pace. She moaned into his member and Sesshomaru growled in pleasure. She went even faster pumping with her hand the little she couldn't fit. He felt it coming. The unbearable pressure, damn he was so close. The need of release. Finally, he thought as he exploded in her mouth.
He tastes good she thought, under the water, licking her lips. Spicy but sweet. Like tart mango juice. She gurgled water for a moment, washing her mouth out before breaking the surface. She grinned, seeing him trying to catch his breath, slipping in and out of conscious. In and out of heaven. His eyes drifted, seeing her smiling, he couldn't mask the honestly in his voice, " Definitely benefits to keeping you around."
She laughed, splashing him with water before climbing out of the pool. He took a moment or two longer to compose himself, but he eventually followed suit, climbing out the water and drying off.
Kagome closed her eyes, concentrating on her core. Steam rose around her body as she called to her powers, the tile around her sizzling to the hot drips that touched it, barely wet do to the quickly evaporating water. She opened her eyes when she felt she was completely dry, before grabbing a towel and wrapping herself in it.
" How did you do that?"
Kagome blinked, looking to Sesshomaru, seeing he was wrapped in a towel and still dripping wet. She shrugged with a smile, " I have fire powers."
He blinked, at a loss for words, that is not an ability the holy usually have, " How?"
Kagome just smiled, picking up a brush and walking over to him, " I always did, Gruff says, fire was the first form of purity so its not that rare of a trait." calling to her powers, the brush started to glow with a white haze before she started running it through his wet locks, drying them on contact.
Sesshomaru stood still as she brushed his hair, " Can you set things on fire or just raise your body temperature."
She nodded, " I can set fires, put out fires and breath fire." she stopped brushing once his head was finally dry, " And I don't burn."
He turned to her, " Show me."
She raised a brow, " Show you what."
" Set yourself on fire."
She giggled, " Really?"
He simply nodded, he wanted to see a display of her power. She shrugged, stepping back so he was not in harm's way, " No one has ever seen me do this so be warned baby."
He simply nodded again, watching as she closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, feeling for the core of her heat. Sesshomaru watched, as she took another slow breath, the air around him suddenly warming. He could feel the heat gradually building around them, he blinked, seeing the sudden white light flickering around her. A few of them finally sparked; her hand caught fire first. Then her feet before it inched up her skin all the way up to her head.
Sesshomaru took a step back, he had thought what she meant by fire was that her holy powers were hot enough to burn others, not just demons. And she had somehow learned to control the temperature of her powers. But no, his amber eyes stared at the woman covered in actual flames before him. That's a real fucking fire. " Put it out." he said over the cackling of her powers. He saw her nod and take another deep breath, calling the powers back to her core.
As she put the flames out Sesshomaru stepped closer to her and touched her forehead, immediately he pulled his hand back at the burn. Glancing to his fingers, he frowned, they were red. Kagome frowned at the reaction she was getting from the inu demon, maybe he thought she was some sort of freak or something. " Ses?"
He looked up to her and her eyebrows shot up at the look on his face. His amber eyes were filled with excitement, matching the wide smile on his handsome face. He shook his head in glee, " I never seen someone make actual flames from just their body. That was a real fire, not your powers causing a fire but real flames. That is crazy." he shook his head again, " Your body literally sparked and caught on fucking fire." he touched his temple and turned away, " My mind is blown right now."
Kagome giggled at the adorableness of her husband, watching for a moment as he started to get dressed. She liked seeing him relaxed like this, she giggled again seeing him still shaking his head with a smile before she turned to get dress as well.
30 minutes later Kagome was in the passenger seat of Sesshomaru's sports car as he gave her a ride back to headquarters. She smiled, glancing over, he had one hand on the wheel as he cruised at a comfortable speed and the other hand in hers on the center. She sighed softly with a small grin, she was falling, she felt it. She knew it, she knew her, it wouldn't be long now before she was absolutely crazy about the man beside her. She shook her head, glancing away, she knew it, was trying to stop it but knew she was falling in love.
She knew he would never feel the same, this was an arrangement after all. Yeah, they were getting along but that was because they were physically attracted to each other. Power attracted power, he was strong, she was strong, they didn't care if one was human or demon. He tolerated her because they got along, not because he was actually catching feelings. He was the demon lord of this entire domain after all. He can have his pick of any female for miles to come. Why settle with a human cop with no status or title.
" What's wrong?"
She glanced over and smiled, his eyes were still on the road, pulling off the highway, " Tonight this weapons shipment is supposedly coming in. We're sure Naraku is gonna send his goons to hit it. We're hoping to intercept and get some answers."
He nodded as he turned down another block seeing the RDSVU headquarters coming up, " Sounds like a decent lead."
Kagome nodded, as he pulled in the parking garage, " Hopefully it is."
Sesshomaru parked the car by the elevator, Kagome got out and walked around the car to press the up button. She then stepped back to the car, making Sesshomaru roll down his window, she smiled, bending, " I don't know how late I'll be; things can go either way. We told the council they couldn't be out in the field with us but they can watch our body cams from the office. You can come if you want, that way we can ride home together."
He nodded at the suggestion, " I'll be here."
She smiled and leaned closer, tasting those soft lips once more before pulling back just as the elevator doors opened. She winked an eye, " 9 pm." He nodded, watching as she disappeared when the doors closed before he shifted out of park and drove off.
The council was in the debriefing room just as it was getting dark. Lamel and the other holy sat on one side of the table while the demon lords sat on the other. Tashio thanked the young girl that handed him a cup of coffee, " So how does this work?"
Gruff stood at the front of the table, " The team is about to get in position, and we will watch from here."
Atomi raised a brow, " Shouldn't you be out there with them?"
Gruff glanced over with a frown, " I trained my team well, they don't need a babysitter."
M set the last of the refreshments on the table, nodding her head in respect to the council before sitting in a swivel chair in the corner by a set of computer monitors. The elevator doors dinged and slid back, everyone turned and watched Sesshomaru step into the room.
Hyde raised a brow, " What are you doing here?"
The inu demon simply took a seat by his father, " My wife told me of the plans tonight and asked me to meet her here."
Tanaka rolled her eyes, thin arms crossing over her chest, " Let's get this started then, I want to see what this half breed is after."
Gruff nodded, everyone was anxious to find out more about Naraku and his plans. He turned, picking up a remote and pressed a button. 3 of the screens flickered before the body cameras attached to their bullet proof vests turned on.
The team was inside the company's van, preparing for the mission. Meaning... they were getting dressed. All eyes in the room blinked, surprised, Hampton was in just his black cargo pants and boots, sitting in a chair, his gun in hand, pulling out the magazine, counting his remaining bullets before reloading it. Not at all phased by the two woman that were standing around him in the van in just their underwear. Ayame was standing in green laced boy shorts, matching green bra and white ankle socks, pulling clothes off the top shelf in the van.
Kagome's curvy body delicious to all eyes, her hands up in her hair, trying to tame the thick mane of ebony locks. Her tattoo underneath the left succulent breast that was barely covered by the white laced bra. The thick black graffiti lines traveling down her toned stomach to the left side of her belly button. A few black tips of the tribal design sharpening right under her belly button, then traveled down to her cinched waist and around her hip to her back.
Hyde blinked, " I was not aware how much skin her tattoo covered."
Gruff frowned, touching his ear to the live comm line, " Ya'll, eyes are up."
3 heads turned towards the cameras on the other side of the van, Kagome laughed, finally getting her hair in a ponytail, " Enjoying the peep show?"
Ayame laughed, handing Kagome her clothes, they were quick to get dressed. The girls wearing tight black spandex shorts for easy movement and a tight black tank top hugging their upper chest and knee pads. With black boxing sneakers tying up their legs, while Hampton just put on a shirt. Ayame was brushing Hampton's hair into a ponytail while Kagome secured holsters to her shoulders, hips and waist, placing guns and daggers in various slots. They all watched the seductive movements, it was like she was stripping her clothes off, instead of loading up on weapons. Soko actually had to loosen his tie, feeling his body heating with lust.
Amber eyes narrowed at the eyes on his wife, smelling the priest's arousal, Tashio leaned over, putting a hand on his son's shoulder. " Calm yourself." he whispered.
The trio finally turned, ready for action, one at a time they picked up their bullet proof vests and strapped them on.
Hampton adjusted his camera, " All clear?"
Gruff nodded, " We got good visual."
Kagome strapped her bow to her back, " M you got eyes?"
Melanie nodded, sliding her mic on, already tapped into the dock's security, " I got eyes."
Ayame nodded, " Okay, sync up." they all raised their arms, syncing their watches as one to keep time with each other, Kagome nodded, pulling on her fingerless leather gloves, " Alright, the shipment's coming into the West dock, T, you take the South entrance, I'll cover the East and Biscuit you take the North."
They all nodded, Kagome nodded, " Let's go."
Everyone in the debriefing watched as they exited the van, their stealth mode almost ninja style, silently making there to the docks. It was dark and cloudy; the monotonous scenery helped them blend well into the dark. Kagome was silent as she slipped her way into the do not enter zone, avoiding the men that were supposedly on guard. She leaped over a gate, landing with a silent thud, " M, you see anything?"
" Not yet."
Kagome stayed crouched behind a wooden barrel as she glanced both ways, making sure the coast was clear. She then raced across the yard, nimbly dodging flood lights; she skidded on one knee to a stop, sliding behind a crane. She stayed crouched as she caught her breath, pressing her back against the machine. " T, you see anything?"
" Nothing on my end. Hampton?"
" Give me a minute woman, I'm not in position yet."
Kagome grinned as she climbed up one side of a container, " I'm in position." she said, laying on her stomach, she pulled a pair of binoculars from her bag and took a look around, " All clear on my end."
Hampton voice came through her ear, " In position, all clear."
Ayame was next, " In position, all clear."
The council watched the screens as the team cased the west docks, it was all quiet for a while. M suddenly perked up in her swivel chair, " I got chatter." she turned, typing on the keyboard in front of her, " Fishing boat coming in hot."
Kagome lifted her binoculars again, seeing the crab boat docking, " I got eyes."
" You think that's the shipment?"
Hampton answered Ayame's question, " One way to find out."
Kagome agreed, " Let's go, stay outta sight." she said, putting her binoculars back in her bag before leaping to the next container.
Lord Lemin raised a brow, " Kagome is quite nimble for a human." he muttered, watching as her leg came into view as she hurled to the next storage container.
Everyone nodded, agreeing, the girl had skills, she suddenly slid to a stop, dropped to her stomach as a light shined her way, " I got four." she whispered over the open line.
" Same." Ayame said.
" Damn I got six, who wants to trade."
" Stop being lazy." Ayame snickered.
Kagome touched the gun on her hip, " Baba, lethal or non-lethal?"
Gruff touched his ear at the question, " Non-lethal, we don't want this all over the news."
Kagome nodded, touching the gun in her shoulder holster, " Got it." She waited till the men were passing directly by her container. Jumping forward she dropped onto one of the guards, shooting her dart gun into his neck as she landed on his back. She turned, kicking the guard beside him in the stomach before shooting him in the neck as well. He dropped to his knees clutching his throat as the tranquilizer kicked in. She then dived forward, wrapping an arm around another guard throat, cutting off his air supply so it couldn't make a noise. Shooting him right were the shoulder met the neck.
She suddenly ducked the fist of the last guard that swung at her. The man was bigger than she expected, she fired her gun, hitting him in the chest. He stumbled back, but still came at her, she frowned, sliding under his roundhouse kick, shooting him two more times in the back. He staggered back, hitting the container but managed to stay on his feet.
Kagome raised a brow as the man still came at her, " Dude how much you weigh?"
Some of the council members snickered, watching as she slapped his slow punch away and shooting him again in the chest. The man dropped to his knees but did not go down, Kagome shook her head, slapping the man with her gun across the cheek, finally knocking him out.
" Blu you good?" Hampton asked.
" Yeah, all clear."
" Same here."
M suddenly spoke, " I got eyes on the target. She's on the boat."
Kagome sprang into action, " Move in! Don't let her get away!" she yelled running towards the west dock. She was closing in on the location when she seen her team members coming in from different sides. She frowned as she saw the boat, there was a small platoon of rent a soldiers guarding it, " Fuck, baba she brought back up!"
Gruff touched his ear, seeing the guns the men were carrying, " Lethal."
Kagome nodded, switching guns, she was suddenly hit from the side from a guard she didn't see. She grunted as she was tackled into a shipping container, making her drop her gun. She frowned, slapping the hand of the man that held a gun and swung her fist out.
The guard grabbed the fist, pinning it above her head, pressing her against the container. Her free hand quickly retaliated, punching him in the cheek, his head snapping to the side with the haymaker. Her knee raised, hitting him in the groin, dropping him to his knees. A spin kick knocked him out on the ground. Kagome bent, picking up his gun, she popped the magazine and frowned at the glowing bullets. " T. Biscuit stay back! They're using modified weapons!"
A cackle came across the open line, a voice screamed over gunfire, " Too late! They got us pinned down!"
Kagome frown deepened, grabbing her gun out her holster, " Hold on, I'm coming!" she yelled, climbing on top of the shipping container, sprinting down the length and leaping into action. The guards that were spraying the forklift Ayame and Hampton were ducking behind were not expecting the sudden on slaughter of bullets from the other side of the dock, it startled the minds of the guards into a short circuit relapse. Kagome took the quick moment of paralyses to her advantage. She charged them, firing her weapons, however their bullet proof vests reflected a lot of them.
She dropped her empty guns, punching the first guard she reached, she turned, rising her knee to the man's stomach, dropping him to the ground. She dodged bullets as weapons began to spray, rolling out the way of more gunfire, she kicked up a small garbage can, twisting on the ground, kicking it while it was in the air, hitting another guard. Jumping up, she grabbed the hand of a guard, pushing it up, so the bullets that were firing were firing away from her while her other hand moved quick, stabbing him in the side with a long piece of glass she picked up from a broken bottle on the ground.
She jumped, avoiding the bullets that now painted ground where she just stood, rolled on the floor and picked up a fallen weapon. Squeezing the dead guard's hand that was still on the trigger she took out more of the competition with the caliber bullets they were using. The rest of the guards retreated back to regroup.
Tashio shook his head, excitement on his face, " It's like a video game."
Hyde nodded, " She's good."
Ayame and Hampton came out of hiding, running over to their partner, she waved them to duck as bullets sprayed from the boat. Kagome touched her ear, " Baba, how do I nullify these damn guns for T and Biscuit?!"
Gruff touched his ear, " Remember the copycat spell I taught you."
Kagome blinked, " Oh right." she turned to her teammates, calling to her powers. Her hands glowed a hazy white, she reached forward and touch the chest of her friends, " Aina Natta Badoush." her eyes flashed white for a moment, " Natashdoi!"
Her powers coated them in a swirl, Kagome shook her head at the draining of her powers but didn't let it show. " Okay, you're covered in my aura for the next hour, it should absorb the purity in the bullets. But they're still bullets so still try not to get shot."
Ayame and Hampton nodded, " Cool."
M voice was heard through the open line, " Target has a crate!"
Kagome drew her gun, she had to get to the boat, " Cover me!"
Hampton grinned, swinging his M90 sub-machine gun off his back and into his hands, " No problem." pulling the trigger, firing. Ayame and Kagome leaped forward, jumping onto the boat, Ayame taking out the rest of the guards as Kagome made a mad dash for the woman dressed in black.
Kagome raised her gun, " Freeze!" she yelled to the woman's back.
She turned slowly, the small crate in her hands, her smirk was subtle, " I wasn't expecting you to be here miko."
Kagome didn't fall for the banter, " Put down the crate and put your hands on your head."
Kagura grinned, " You've gotten so big."
Kagome frowned, " I said put the crate down and put your hands on head!"
" You don't remember me, do you?"
Kagome took a step closer, " You smell like the half breed."
" I am Kagura, an incarnation of his, he created me."
Kagome just nodded, " Make sense why you hate him so much."
Kagura frowned, " Don't pretend to know me."
Kagome took another step closer, " I'm not gonna tell you again, put the crate down."
Kagura rolled her eyes, " I can't show up empty handed."
Kagome shook her head, " That's not my problem, he's starting shit I can't allow."
" You know he's doing it all for you, he is obsessed with you."
Kagome took another step closer, " I already have a fan club."
Kagura raised a brow, " You don't know what you're up against. He'll use you until there's nothing left."
Kagome smirked, " Is that what he does to you. How does he taste, does it make you sick?"
Kagura glared, her stomach turning, " You Bitch!" she screamed, launching forward.
Kagome easily dodged the swipe to her neck; she caught Kagura's hand and tossed her over her shoulder. Still holding her wrist, she pulled the wind demoness up, making her drop the crate and slammed her again the floor, twisting her arm behind her back.
Kagura growled at the woman that had her pinned to the ground, " Let go of me!" she sneered.
Kagome held a hand against her neck, forcing her face harder into the wood, while her other hand twisted the arm she was holding into a painful position, " Where's Naraku?!"
" I can't tell you!" Kagura answered with, biting back tears as her arm was pushed to a higher level of pain.
" Why is he trying to start a war?!"
Kagura gritted her teeth at the pain in her arm, " I don't know! Naraku doesn't share his plans with me. I just know he is after power; he is always after power!"
Kagome tightened her grip, snapping the appendage in half before standing back, Kagura screamed, immediately cradling her arm to her chest, glaring daggers at the female that assaulted her.
Kagome just frowned, " I do remember you." she hissed, pulling out a pair of cuffs, " Your under arrest."
Kagura red eyes narrowed, using her good arm to swing her fan, " Dance of blades!"
Kagome fell back at the sudden on slaughter of wind, she watched the demoness touch her the feather in her hair and jumping off the side of the boat. Kagome grabbed the crate she left behind as Ayame and Hampton ran over to her, " Blu you good?"
Kagome just nodded, pulling the lock off the crate with little effort, she lifted the lid and her brow raised, " What the hell?"
It was a sword, the long blade covered in prevention sutras, the gold rim edged to a platinum handle with a round orb as a base.
Sesshomaru blinked, leaning a bit forward in his seat, it can't be, " Father..."
Tashio just shook his head, thinking the same thing, " That's not possible."
Lamel glanced over, " What is wrong my friend."
But both sets of amber eyes were on the screen, Tashio jumped up seeing Kagome's hand reach forward to pick it up, " Tell her not to touch it!"
Gruff immediately touched his ear, " Hands down mini me!"
Kagome snatched her hand away as if it was burned, " What's wrong?"
Tashio frowned, " Tell her to get that sword here right now."
Gruff again touched his ear, " Police is on the way to secure the scene, bring back that crate, do not touch what's inside, copy?"
The team nodded, " Copy that."
Kagome closed the lid and picked the crate up, the team turning the body cameras off as they headed back to their van.
Tanaka shook her head, " What is going on?"
Sesshomaru glanced to his father, who glanced to him than the other demon lords who also recognized the weapon. He frowned, a hand going through his bangs, " I will explain once I confirm what's in that crate."
Soko frowned, crossing his arms, " I'm not a fan of secrets."
Lord Lemin raised the brow, " Then share the secret of how you knew about Sector Seven and didn't tell the council."
The priest glared at the demon, Lord Lemin just leaned back in his seat, " Exactly."
Lamel raised his arms to calm the tension, " I'm sure they will be here soon then all will be explained."
The elder priest was right, Kagome and her team were walking through the doors 15 minutes later, Ayame and Hampton walked in front of the miko. Her feet were dragging as she forced herself into the debriefing room. With a grunt she placed the crate on the table and before heavily plopping down in the cushioned chair beside her. Gruff immediately walked over to his daughter, touching her forehead. She was not a magic master like he was, he knew the spell she used drained a lot of her strength. " Are you alright?"
She nodded, yawning into her hand, " I'm good, just tired."
He scooped her up in his arms, " I'm bringing you to your office."
She didn't fight him as he carried her away, too tired to fight with her father about her health. The others were too busy focused on the crate she put on the table to notice. Tashio lifted the lid and shook his head, his suspicions were right. " How did they get this." he mumbled.
Lamel raised a brow, " What is it?"
Sesshomaru stood, getting a closer look at the wrapped sword, " So'unga."
Soko blinked, " What's that?"
Lord Lemin frowned, " So'unga is the Sword of Death, able to summon 100 dead souls in one swing and even able to open a portal to hell."
Lord Suki looked to the former lord of the west, " I thought you got rid of that thing."
Tashio frowned, " I thought I did."
Tanaka crossed her arms, standing, " How is that possible? How can a sword summon a soul?"
Sesshomaru frowned, " It's a demon sword."
Atomi leaned closer to get a better look, reaching forward to bring the crate closer. Tashio shook his head, shooing his hand away, " Don't touch it. When held by a human it can take control of them and would kill everything they can. When held by a youkai it would try to persuade them to do its bidding." The inu explained.
Lord Suki nodded, " But if the demon was strong enough it could control the sword. That's why we gave it to Inu No Tashio."
Lord Hyde raised a brow, " I thought the last time you used the sword was to fight Takemaru of Stusna as the flaming mansion collapsed."
Tashio nodded, " I sealed it away after that."
Atomi raised a brow, " Then how did it get back here?"
He just shook his head, looking to his son, they were the only two in the world that knew where this sword was hidden. Tashio knew his son would never have given up the location or even had written it down. They stared at each other for a moment before turning, hearing Gruff coming back into the room.
The leader of the RDSVU walked over and glanced at the sword, then to the white inus in the room, " So, how did the sword of death get out of that well?"
Tashio shook his head, eyes blinking surprised at the accurate guess of the location, " How did you know that?"
Gruff didn't answer the question, he just frowned, " And what does Naraku want with it."
Lord Suki frowned, " The half breed would not be able to wield the sword."
Soko made a face, " He must know someone that can then."
Ayame bit into an apple, " Maybe he wants to open a portal, bring back some old friends."
Hampton grinned, " You're so twisted." taking her apple and biting it.
Gruff shook his head, " We will not figure this out tonight. I will put the sword in the safe and we will continue the investigation in the morning."
Lord Lemin shook his head, " No the risk is too high, the sword should be given back to Tashio for safe keeping."
Tashio frowned, he hated the responsibility of that damn sword, he had worked so hard to get rid of the damn thing. Sesshomaru closed the lid of the crate, " I will take it until a proper way of sealing it away is found."
The lords glanced to one another for a moment, they only knew of Tashio being strong enough to handle the calling of the sword. But they also knew Sesshomaru was just as strong if not stronger than his father. They agreed as one, " Alright."
Tanaka frowned, " I do not feel comfortable with a demon holding a sword that can open a portal to hell."
Gruff just shook his head, " The sword will be in good hands with the Lord of the West." he looked to his team, " Go and get some rest."
Ayame nodded snatching her apple away from Hampton, the tiger just followed her to the door with a grin as she frowned. Tossing the apple core over her shoulder at the man with a frown. Gruff just watched the two before turning to the council, " We all should get some rest, a lot was accomplished tonight."
They all agreed, nothing else was getting done tonight, standing, preparing to leave, Sesshomaru paused, reaching out to stop his cousin, " A word Hyde."
The black inu blinked but nodded at the request, stepping to the side for a bit more privacy, " Is something bothering you Cousin?"
Sesshomaru raised a brow, " Kagome told me about the ploy you pulled at the bar."
Hyde couldn't resist the smirk that crossed his face, his arms crossing nonchalantly, " No worries cousin, it was simply an act to get some information." he nodded, his smirk still in place, " My assistance helped secure a big find tonight, we make a good team. The miko and I."
Sesshomaru stepped closer, invading personal space, an impassive yet deadly look on his face, his voice a venomous hiss, " If you touch her again, you're dead, if I even smell you on her again, I'mma rip your throat out."
Hyde amber eyes narrowed as he uncrossed his arms at the intimidating posture of his relative, " Are you threatening me cousin."
Sesshomaru stood his full height, knowing he was about 2 inches taller than the black inu, " Test me and find out."
Hyde frowned, but took a step back, he wasn't stupid enough to actually attack the stronger inu, he shook his head, " This is not over."
Sesshomaru simply nodded in agreement, knowing they will butt heads again in the future. Hyde snarled for a moment before abruptly turning on his feet and heading to the door.
Witnessing everything, Gruff walked over to Sesshomaru. " Kagome is in her office. She's gonna sleep like a rock and then wake up able to eat you out a home." He smirked as he picked up the crate, " I'll put this in your car." he said, heading towards the elevator.
Sesshomaru glanced to the odd man with a raised brow before turning down the hall, heading towards the office he knew was to be his wife's. The small girl that usually sat at the desk in front of the door had already left with the others, so he just walked over and stepped in. Amber eyes glanced around for a moment, he had to admit the office had a nice flair to it, the odd pieces of color placed here and there gave it a unique yet homey touch.
He walked over to the couch and looked down, how cute. She was fast asleep, facing the back of the couch, arms under her head. Her father must have stripped her of her weapons, she was just in a pair of black shorts that showed too much leg and a crop top that showed too much stomach. With ease, he bent and scooped her up, she groaned but snuggled towards the heat. As if able to identify him, her powers flared and surrounded him in a protective cocoon. He glanced down at the sleeping beauty in his arms, knowing she did it subconsciously.
He shook his head, he can feel it, he was falling. He knew it, knew himself, he was falling hard. Shifting her a bit so she was in one hand, the great lord of the west turned to leave. Heading home with his wife in his arms.
