Kagome began to stir out of her sleep with the afternoon rays of the sun beating down on her. "Sota?" She winced hearing someone come through the door. "Sota, is that you?" Kagome blocked the sun rays from her eyes.
"Ah yes, young Sota, I nearly forgot about him." The unsettling voice shook her wide awake.
"What?!" Instant sobriety came over her. "What are you talking about?" Kagome looked around the room now sober enough to realize…she wasn't at home.
"Forgive me Kagome, I have not introduced my self. I thought you would rather time alone. I am Sesshomaru."
Kagome winced at the name. She remembered it from somewhere, but when she tried to think there was a pounding in her head. "Do I know you?"
"No, but I know everything about you." The way he watched her sent chills up her spine, she could tell he was serious.
"What are you a stalker?"
"I prefer the term 'business man'." He sat in the same black on chair.
"Why have you kidnapped me, what do you want from me?" If he thought he was going to scare her, he had another thing coming. She let her training take over.
"It's not what I want from you, it's what you are going to do." He held her gaze, clearly not wavered by her change in attitude.
"And that is?"
"You are going to help me find your father." The silence fell think as the two stared each other down. Kagome's heart began to beat faster, if it had anything to do with her father it was never good. She had also remembered where she had heard that name before.
"What information could I possible get that a mafia leader could not?" She held his gaze hoping it would show him that she still knew how to play this game.
"I understand you have been training since you were small. Gunmen ship since you were seven, attending regular meetings since you were nine. Your fist time flying solo in a meeting was at the age of fifteen-"
"If you know all of this then you know I am not the one you should be speaking with." Kagome glared at Sesshomaru as he moved from the chair to the window.
"I do." He ignored her interruption. "I also know your father left before young Sota could even start training of any kind, and though he should be the one to take over he knows nothing of what your family was into. So you see, he is of only one use to me and you are of much more." She heard the hint in his voice and wanted nothing more than to demand where Sota was, but her training told her to do the opposite.
"My father is dead." She had been telling her self that for so long that she believed it her self. All the better to make a lie more convincing.
"That story of a car accident will not work with me, I have proof that he is alive." He countered.
Kagome took in a deep breath. "What have you done to him?" Kagome glared standing from the bed.
"Sota? Nothing yet." Sesshomaru walked to the door.
Kagome did the very thing her training always told her not to do, loose her temper. She grabbed his wrist to turn him around. "We're not done here!"
He looked down at his wrist and grabbed her hand twisting it painfully to the side. "Do not touch me."
"Your threats are of no concern to me. What have you done to my little brother?!" She gritted through the pain.
"I have already told you, I have done nothing to him and if you cooperate he will stay out of harms way." He dropped her wrist and pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped his hands off. "In due time you will know the details, until then your brothers safety depends on your actions." Sesshomaru tuned to leave the room.
"Fine!" Kagome cringed. "I- I'll help." Kagome tightened her fist. She wanted to slap him for threatening the life of her one and only little brother. "But if you hurt one hair on his head, you can forget it!"
"I will send for you later." He closed the door behind him.
Kagome took in a deep breath and went to the bed. "What have you done now father?" She let her self fall onto the bed. "Why are we always having to fix what you did?" Kagome climbed back to the pillows to sleep off the rest of her headache.
