She slowly opened her eyes' still wrapped in Sesshomaru. A smile and faint blush crossed her face, part of her thought last night was a dream. She stood to her feet wrapping a sheet around her bare body, turned out the fire and blew out all the candles. She took one last look at him laying there shirtless, his chest, his abs, she could look at him all day. Before walking to the room to change she took his clothes.
The aroma of pancakes, hash browns and other breakfast food filled Sesshomaru's nose waking him. As he looked around he notice all the candles had been blown out and the fire off. He looked into the kitchen and watched her move about. Her shorts defiantly held his eye, it made his thoughts wonder back to last night. The feel of her wrapped around him was something he hoped to never get used to. He took the other sheets laying there and wrapped his waist and went to the kitchen "Good morning."
"Good morning." She looked at him with red cheeks. She couldn't believe he was standing there in nothing but a sheet, it made a feeling come over her that were more fitting for last night's activities, but she settled for a kiss.
He went back to the living room while she put the breakfast one their plates. "Kagome."
"Yes." She said in a slight giggled.
"Where are my clothes." He eyed her.
She had her back turned to him so he couldn't see her smile, "Maybe you should look for them." but he could hear it in her voice.
"Why don't you come help me." She could hear him sneaking up behind her so she ran to her room. "What did you do with them?" He asked leaning his arm against her door frame. Kagome's eye brow rose, he looked very sexy in his current position. "Kagome?" she had her lips curled in and a 'I'm not telling you' grin. He walked to the bed and Kagome let out a scream as she jumped up trying to get away, but he caught her and threw her back to the bed. "All you have to do is ask." He dropped the sheet from around his waist.
"Their under the bed!" She blushed.
"Too late." He pinned her to the bed and lifted her shirt. "You should have told me the first time." He trailed kisses down her stomach, then the inside of her thigh.
"Breakfast is getting cold." She said with a shaky voice.
"You're right." He got up. Even though her words implied for him to stop, her face had a 'keep going' look. He put his dress pants back on and went into the kitchen. "I'm hungry."
"That was mean." She jump on his back making him carry her back to the kitchen. For the first time they talked about random things over breakfast. Some of his answers were still one word, but he at least answered everything this time. It was Kagome that began getting quiet toward the end, and he took notice.
"Is something troubling you Kagome?"
"When you love someone, you forgive them right?" Sesshomaru looked puzzled by her question but nodded his head. "You may be mad at them but you always forgive them, right?"
"Kagome what's going on?" He pushed his plate away waiting for an explanation.
"And you don't hide anything from them." She put her hands in her lap, "Can I show you something, and promise you won't get mad?"
"Kagome you can show me anything."
"I hope so, wait here." He watched her stand from the table and leave the room for a moment. She came back holding her lap top. "I want you to look at this." He came around to her side and read the screen.
"NYPDOffice." He looked down at Kagome. "These are my e-mails."
"I know," She closed her eyes holding back her tears. "I'm sorry, I thought you weren't being honest with me. So the night of the gathering I went to your office and hacked your computer." She was streaming with tears, and she couldn't even look at him.
"Come here." He pulled her up into a hug.
"You're not mad?" If he was being honest, he was more impressed with her.
"Mad no, upset yes. But I have to be more upset with myself than you. I was hiding things from you, but I can't any more." He sat her back down in her chair and wiped away her tears with his thumb. "I suppose you want to know why I'm getting e-mails from NYPD?" Kagome nodded. He sat across from her rubbing his hand together hoping that she would not get mad at him. "Inuyasha works there."
"I figured that was him."
"He covered up everything, the shooting at the ware house, your kidnapping-"
"And?"
"Other stuff. We needed some one inside, some one with access to non public records."
"To files on my father."
Sesshomaru nodded. "We figured he has been in enough trouble with the law, there should be files on his where a bouts, or if he has committed any crimes lately."
"Unfortunately for you my father keeps his past, and just about every other file on him under lock and key."
"Yes we've found that out rather quickly. However,"
"Never good."
"We did find some medical files on him."
"Oh?"
"He moved to California."
"Where Inuyasha went, the old friend?" Some of the puzzle pieces began to fall into to place. Where Inuyasha was at the wear house, why he didn't tell her he worked for the police department, and why he took a sudden trip to California.
"Calm down. We waited to tell you because we didn't know how you would take this, he has more children." She was taken back by that. "He wasn't home much, was he?"
"No, he was always on trips somewhere else."
"Because you're not the oldest, you are a few months younger than the oldest." More things started to make sense the more Sesshomaru told her.
"How many are there?" She sat back down dazed.
"Kagewaki is a few months older than you..." Immediately she recognized that name and anything he said after didn't reach her.
"Kagewaki?" She had grown up believing that he was her distant cousin.
"That rat bastard."
"What, what is it?"
"We have to go get Inuyasha." She grabbed Sesshomaru's shoulders.
"Kagome-"
"No, listen to me." Her body started shaking. She couldn't form the words to tell him what she was really thinking. She just knew they had to bring Inuyasha back no matter what. "We have to bring him back here now!" He could tell she was working her self up. "If we don't my father will send him back in a box! Probably several boxes."
"What going on?" She had obviously come to some conclusion he had not.
"This is just a game for my father and everything is going the way he wants. Me killing Bankotsu, Inuyasha going to California!" She stood up running her fingers through her hair.
"We'll just call him and have him come back." Sesshomaru offered.
Kagome thought about it for a moment. "No, you don't understand!" She shook her head. "We're already playing his game, the only way to finish this is to keep playing by his rules." She looked at Sesshomaru "Everything he did was to get your attention, he wants us in California. We have to go."
"Okay, okay." He pulled her to him. "Just calm down." After she gained control of herself he sent her to the room to go pack while he made a few calls for the family jet. Not wanting her out of his site he took her to the house while he packed and within two hours they were sitting on his family jet. While doing all of this he wondered to himself what she knew that he did not. He ran everything over in his head and nothing seemed to stand out to him that would be a red flag, but he decided to trust her judgment. After all, he brought her into this for that very reason.
