Kagome and a female friend sat across from each other drinking tea at a coffee shop. Kagome had left Sesshoumaru's house a few hours back and was spending time with her friend Sango.

"You and Sesshoumaru, huh" Sango said while taking a sip of tea. "I don't even know how to respond to that."

Kagome's eyes widened as she spoke. "I know."

"He's such a drama queen. All this because of some spilt wine," Sango raved on. "What a big baby! God forbid that he accidently tripped and fell! He might just rip the entire pavement to pieces. Crybaby."

Kagome laughed. "Oh Sango you're so funny. But I wouldn't let him hear you say all that," she pushed some hair behind her ear. "He might do something like rip out your tongue and then watch you choke on your own blood while eating a bag of cheetos."

"Actually," a smooth voice from behind her said. "I would more prefer potato chips."

Kagome turned around and then very dramatically yelled, "Ah" before turning around and burying her face in her arms. She composed herself and turned to look back up to him.

"Sesshoumaru, are you stalking me," Kagome calmly asked. Sango stayed silent and watched the two of them.

"No, you just happened to choose a coffee shop that is one block away from my companies building," Sesshoumaru stated. "Also, if I wanted to see you – I wouldn't have to stalk you. I would simply pick up my phone, call you, and you would immediately come running to wherever I was."

Sesshoumaru looked at his watch. "I have a meeting. See you tonight Kagome."

Kagome placed her forehead on the coffee table. "I hate my life."

Sango nervously looked around. "Um Kagome," she said. "People are talking about you. And the women are giving you the nastiest looks."

Kagome turned her head to each side before looking face down once again. "I don't care. If I'm lucky they'll maul me."

Sango laughed at her depressed friend. "Let's look at the bright sides."

Kagome got up and gave her friend an incredulous look. "What bright side?"

"Well, for one, he's damn good looking," Sango said.

"And," Kagome said.

"And," Sango said not being able to something right away. "You will never find someone like him," she said slowly.

"Real nice Sango," she looked at her with a disapproving look. "Real nice."

"Okay I'm sorry," she gave her friend a defeated look. "He's blackmailing you to sleep with him… there's not many bright sides to that."

"Wait, okay," Sango piped up. "Is the sex good? It has to be good with someone like him."

"Eh it's kinda painful actually," she said thoughtfully. "But I guess it's not that bad."

Sango's face fell. "Oh." She then cheered up again. "Bragging rights."

"Huh," Kagome gave her a confused look.

"How many people can say that they were pursued by Sesshoumaru Takahashi," Sango said prideful. "Not many," she answered her own question. "Aaaaaand, he has those account things everywhere. You can probably charge things to his name and then laugh about it."

"You think so," Kagome asked.

Sango shrugged. "Maybe."

Kagome stood up and smoothed out her skirt and walked to the front counter.

"Hi," she greeted the cashier. "You saw me and my boyfriend Sesshoumaru together right?"

"Uh, yes ma' am I did," she replied quickly.

"Well you see," Kagome started off uneasy. "Me and my friend forgot our wallets and I was wondering if you could just charge it to Sesshoumaru's tab."

"Uh yeah sure, he has one for when he has his assistant pick up his coffee," the cashier explained.

"Oh awesome," Kagome piped up. She turned to her friend and mouthed the words "It worked" to Sango. "Actually, my friend," she pointed to Sango. "Is with child. She actually wants one of every food item on your menu. Can you charge that to his tab also."

The cashier gave her an uneasy look.

"Please," she pleaded. "It would mean so much to us."

"Well okay. I'll bring it to your table when everything is bagged up and ready."

"Oh okay. Thank you so much!" Kagome exclaimed and then walked over to Sango.

"I am not with child, Kagome," Sango chided her friend.

"So? The people that work here don't know that."

The two of them laughed and casually chatted until they got their things from the cashier. They hopped into Sango's car and drove over to her house.

"What exactly are we going to do with all this food," Sango asked as they walked through the front door.

"Eat it, duh."

"So you mean to tell me, you want to sit here, eat all this food, and allow our bodies to consume all these fats and sugars?" Sango asked her incredulously.

Kagome nodded her head.

"Okay, let's do this," she said with a comically serious expression. "I'll call over Miroku to join us."

"Bring it on," Kagome eyed a giant chocolate chip muffin


Sesshoumaru patiently waited at his desk for an employee to come in. When he came he was given a less than satisfactory greeting.

"What the hell do you want," the man with dark brown hair in a low ponytail said.

"You're being transferred to our branch in New York. Prepare to leave by the end of the month. And I'll ignore your sudden burst of insolence," Sesshoumaru said.

The man scoffed. "Do you think I don't know what you're doing? Getting rid of me doesn't make Kagome yours. She will never belong to you."

Sesshoumaru smirked at the man in front of him. "Bankotsu, she's already mine. Now leave."

"I know Kagome, and I can assure you that the moment she can, she will run away from you and run to anyone else," Bankotsu said leaving an irritated Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru wanted nothing more but to gut and murder Bankotsu. He almost considered getting his lawyers on the phone but then decided that he'll settle for making sure he has a miserable time in New York.

He sat there growing even angrier over time. He thought about what he said about Kagome leaving. He then angrily called Kagome and told her to be on her way over to his house immediately. He hung up the phone and then left.


"Stupid. Inconsiderate. Asshole." Kagome said as she stomped on each individual stair leading to his door.

She got an angry abrupt phone call from Sesshoumaru demanding that she come over. Before she could even knock on the door, Sesshoumaru had come up behind her and opened it, letting them both in.

"What's with the sour faced pickle eater look?"

Sesshoumaru looked at her like she grew a second head. He noticed strong scents on her – one of them being male.

"Who were you with," he demanded to know.

"Friends."

He narrowed his eyes and then when upstairs. Kagome awkwardly stood there before following after him.

Sesshoumaru then quickly turned around and pulled Kagome for a fierce kiss. Kagome tried to push him off and object but she found that he was no budging. "You're mine," he huskily said.

"What are you talking about," she pushed him again and this time he let go. She roughly wiped her lips with her arm. "I am not yours!"

"Really," he shoved her against the wall by her neck. "You belong to me and only me," he said as a threat.

"What is wrong with you," she gasped. "Last I checked I was some expendable toy that will be thrown away. Or are you stupid and forgot?"

Sesshoumaru tightened his grip. "You will speak to me with respect," he growled out.

"Respect," she shouted in a questioning tone. "Respect isn't just handed on a silver platter you idiot. You have to earn it."

Sesshoumaru seriously considered throttling her but released her instead. "Respect from those beneath me is my birthright."

"HA!" Kagome exclaimed loudly. "The only thing your birth brought to this world is an asshole with infinite arrogance."

Sesshoumaru took a step back and took in her appearance. He could see the anger seething from Kagome. He cynically smirked at her appearance. "I forgot to tell you. Bankotsu is being transferred to America."

Kagome gave him a disbelieving look. "What?"

"Yes, he's being transferred within a few weeks and I believe he's taking his secretary with him."

"You are a real asshole," Kagome said through clenched teeth. "Are you so lonely where you have nothing in your life but to steal the happiness of other people?"

Sesshoumaru was getting annoyed with this altercation between the two of them.

"Tell me, Sesshoumaru," she said his name like it was a disgusting fungus. "Do you even know what happiness is? You don't, do you? Someone as pernicious as you could probably never understand it."

Sesshoumaru still remained outwardly calm to Kagome. "What do you know of it," his words were dripping with a slight contempt.

"I know that until I met you, I experienced it most days."

Sesshoumaru didn't know what this twinge in his heart was. He also didn't know why he was experiencing this twinge. However he did know that he did not like it. Why should he care whether or not she was happy with him or not?

Sesshoumaru scoffed at her. "You really are a stupid female. How you could be happier with a pathetic human than with one such as me, is laughable."

Kagome angrily narrowed her eyes at him before shouting. "Because I loved him! And I will never love and never belong to you!"

Sesshoumaru growled and roughly kissed her. He explored her mouth and bruised her lips. He pulled back to look at her, lust and anger both apparent in his eyes. In return, Kagome glared daggers into his eyes which actually amused him.

"I'll make you take back your words," Sesshoumaru said ripping her clothes off, leaving her in her undergarments. He leaned in to kiss her again, but Kagome spitefully turned her head to avoid it. Sesshoumaru growled at her action and then forcefully grabbed her chin to turn her face to him and kissed her again

He started to back Kagome up to his bed. He leaned her down on the bed and hastily tore off her bra and panties. Without breaking their kiss he roughly drove his fingers inside of her which caused her to scream into his mouth. He broke their kiss and watched her face as he roughly pumped his fingers in and out of her. He relished looking into her half-lidded eyes; pain and lust both illustrated by her facial features.

Sesshoumaru then abruptly removed his fingers. He pulled Kagome up and then pushed back to lay in the middle of the bed and removed his clothing. He settled in between Kagome's legs and positioned himself at her entrance. "Not even fighting me anymore, Kagome?"

"It'll be over soon enough."

"Hn," he replied and then thrust into Kagome. He started off at a steady pace.

Kagome focused on the sounds of her own breathy moans, the slapping of skin, and the wet sounds from between her legs. She focused on these things as a time keeper until this was all over.

But then Sesshoumaru sat up on his knees and angled Kagome's hips up. His next thrust was so rough and deep, Kagome lost her focus and cried out.

She felt her orgasm building up, and as if by some sick punishment, Sesshoumaru slowed down his pace. Kagome whimpered in protest which formed a very condescending smirk upon Sesshoumaru's face.

He continued to speed up his thrusts, only to slow them down when he felt Kagome near her orgasm. Sesshoumaru deciding he wanted to switch positions turned Kagome onto her hands and knees.

Once again Kagome felt her orgasm nearing. Feeling that Sesshoumaru was already slowing his pace, she softly pleaded with him. "P-please," she panted.

"Please what," he asked.

Kagome was silent except for her gasps and moans.

Sesshoumaru thrust his entire length deep inside of her and stopped. "Please what, Kagome?"

Kagome whimpered, breathing heavily. "Please," she said breathless. She could feel all of him. She could feel him deep inside of her, filling her; stretching her. "Please don't stop."

He slowly started to move inside her again. He moved faster and harder, enjoying the sounds her mouth created. When he felt her walls constrict around him – signifying her oncoming orgasm – he picked up his speed and gripped her hips tighter to slam her back onto him.

Kagome's orgasm came and completely shattered her. She felt used up, tired, and drained of all her energy. Sesshoumaru continued to pump in and out of her, even as her head started to fall down and she felt she was slipping away from her conscious state.

Sesshoumaru sensed this and then grabbed a fistful of Kagome's hair and pulled her so she was also on her knees with her back on his chest.

"Don't fall asleep. We won't be done until you admit who you belong to," Sesshoumaru breathed into her ear.

And then he continued his ruthless assault without the intention of stopping until he heard what he desired to hear.
