Chapter 6- Planning the next move

"Can you believe that? The bastard came here, woke me up, insulted me, only to say ten words and go out? And he hadn't even answered my question! Actually, all he said was 'three days.'" Souta arched his eyebrow but his eyes didn't leave the plate full of fries.

"What does that mean?" he asked putting another one into his mouth.

"Hell if I know. Perhaps he is going to kill me in three days, who knows. I mean I didn't want some elaborate answer, but that was too little for my taste." Kagome took a large intake of breath before returning to her meal.

"Damn that dog and his talkative nature. Even Naraku would tell me more than him," she muttered eating a fry. Was she really asking for too much? At this point she would be happy with an answer like 'You're attacked because youkais don't like you.' Really! Even something sounding extremely silly would be better than the answer he gave her.

"Three days."

What three days? Was she supposed to wait for another attack in three days? She would be illuminated somehow in three days? The sky was going to fall on her head? What in the seven layers of hell did he mean? Kagome just knew that for the next three days she would, for sure, have headache. And it was all his fault. Stupid dog.

Souta finished his dinner before looking up. Well, that whole situation was crazy, but if it already existed, he hoped the action would go faster. And here, he got another long wait. Life was simply cruel for the boy who wanted to feel some adventure.

His eyes slowly slid over the kitchen table. 'Well, for now I should just concentrate on things that are more important.' The boy decided.

"Hey Kagome, are you planning to finish those fries?" Souta asked in an innocent voice. His sister quickly cradled her plate protectively to her chest.

"Yes, I am, and without your help."

"Aw, you're so mean!" The boy whined. Kagome just shrugged.

"Don't care," she mumbled pushing a fry in her mouth.

oOoOoOoOo

Seiko was a woman on a mission. She knew that what she was about to do was very risky, but her years of training weren't for nothing. She knew she could do this; after all, she was a cat. Slowly she moved through the shadows, step by step, stalking her prey. She was now only inches away when…

"Woman I assure you I have no subduing collar under my shirt." Seiko pouted and came from her hiding place.

"You're no fun Sesshoumaru-sama!" she whined. The youkai lord fought the urge to roll his eyes and continued to read his report. However, the secretary refused to move from her place behind him. She knew dogs found lying rather difficult, but not impossible. She needed some proof.

"Oh, come on Sesshoumaru-sama don't be so mysterious. Who was that girl? You know I won't let that die." she pressed. The man remained untouched by her whining.

"You should. It has nothing to do with you. Now go back to your duties, or I will cut your pay." That brought a horrified look to Seiko's face. She hated when Sesshoumaru used 'that' argument to make her cooperate. With a last unhappy grunt, she turned on her heel and left the office.

She sighed deeply, sitting back in her chair. It wasn't like she was some kind of gossiper; she rarely found interest in that, but this time she wanted to know everything. It didn't happen everyday that some blind girl visited their company only to leave a threatening message for the most powerful youkai in Japan. And Sesshoumaru actually reacted to it. That fact made the situation even more interesting.

Another thing, the girl called herself a miko. The woman shook her head. The girl's sacred power was easily detected. She was quite powerful, but the fact that she knew about them was highly surprising. Seiko herself couldn't remember anyone who would be aware of their power since the Meiji Era.

There were also other questions, like: from where the young miko knew Sesshoumaru? How she knew about Inuyasha? Was she trained? If yes, then by who? Where? How could she live unnoticed to that point?

No, this case was too interesting to be forgotten and Seiko knew she will find her answers sooner or later. Call it cat intuition or just woman intuition, but she could say that was only the beginning of something bigger. All she needed to do was wait.

oOoOoOoOo

Sesshoumaru waited until Seiko closed the door after her before sighing and laying the report on his desk. At least he didn't have to pretend that he was reading it. His head was sweating and he wished he could close his eyes and get some rest. But it was impossible; he was a daiyoukai, that title had 'overworked' as it's second meaning.

Of course the miko's appearance didn't help a bit. If he could just work out his stress by killing something…but then again, now, because of living under human rules, he couldn't kill just because he felt like it. Personally, Sesshoumaru thought that law as annoying- killing was such a great way to release one's stress. Of course victims would probably have other opinions about the subject.

The youkai lord looked at his wristwatch and growled. 5 p.m. He had enough for the week, he decided. With quick movements, Sesshoumaru pushed all of his folders into his briefcase, took his jacket and went in the hall. His secretary looked at him curiously.

"We are going. Gather your things and I'll close the office." The woman nodded, happy to leave on time for once. Within the next few minutes, they were both outside. Seiko threw him a quick goodbye and ran to her car. Sesshoumaru shook his head. He was tired and the day was quite nice; perhaps a walk was in order.

Slowly the inuyoukai went to his apartment, passing the other people without taking care of who they were. He was crossing another small shop when something stopped him. His attention was brought to the shop's window. From there a pair of golden eyes stared at him. He went closer to look at the poster.

"Hn. So you are Inuyasha?" he said silently. The miko spoke true. Now that he saw the dog, he really could understand why she named the dog after his brother. He was actually glad she hadn't named the dog after him. Not that he wished for this.

With one last glance at the poster, he turned to his path. He had to admit to himself that it was cruel to kidnap a dog from a blind person. He snorted with distaste. Once again, the human race showed their true face. That was what he hated about them.

Humans were so ready to care of their needs at the expense of others, it was almost frightening. You could never turn your back to human and be sure he wouldn't stab you. Of course, he knew that there were exceptions from that picture, but that wouldn't change his original opinion. Humans were a waste of space.

Sesshoumaru was pulled from his thoughts when he arrived at his apartment. He quickly ate a light dinner, took a shower and went to sleep. He really needed the rest, especially before what he was going to do tomorrow. Kami help him, he knew that he would need it.

With a groan, the man rolled on his side before closing his eyes. It wasn't long before deep sleep claimed him for next few hours.

oOoOoOoOo

Kazumi growled loudly hearing her door bell. She liked to look perfect before meeting anyone, but the person behind the door didn't seem to understand her need. Quickly, she went to the door putting on her concealing spell; she couldn't afford someone seeing her claws that were, at that point, only seconds from breaking the skin of her palm.

However, when she saw who stood outside her home, she smirked. Perhaps the day wouldn't be as bad as she thought.

"To what do I own the pleasure of you visiting your mother, Sesshoumaru?" she asked. The young man before the door looked like he was about to roll his eyes. Oh, how she loved to torture her son. She took a step back, allowing him to enter to her apartment. If Sesshoumaru actually visited her at her home, he had to have a really important reason for this.

The daiyoukai went straight to the living room and sat in his favourite chair. Kazumi followed, trying to read something from her son's body language, unfortunately without success. Throughout the centuries, Sesshoumaru had become even harder to read. The woman sighed, sitting on the other side of the table.

"According to your reaction to me, you haven't come just to see me. So what has brought you here?" Sesshoumaru sighed quietly. It was hard to talk to his mother and what he was about to do was even harder. Taking the last piece of his courage, he answered.

"I need your advice." Kazumi smirked. Seeing Sesshoumaru's agony was the best fun. The woman leaned comfortably in her chair and arched her eyebrow.

"And how can this Kazumi help you?" The daiyoukai took a folder from his briefcase and threw it on the table. She took it and read its contents.

"I have found the miko." The silver-haired female nodded, her face, for once, serious. This matter wasn't something that she could pretend to treat lightly.

"And you need advice." The man nodded.

They sat in silence for a long time, both deep in their thoughts.

"You know I can't tell you what to do, but know this. Whatever your choice is, this Kazumi will stand by your side, Sesshoumaru." The daiyoukai nodded, her words, if not open, were the advice he was looking for. Quickly, he put the folder back in his briefcase and stood up, heading to the door.

"I'm grateful mother." he said from the door. He was about to go out when she replied.

"Of course, anytime time, sweetheart." Sesshoumaru groaned. And here he thought she would be serious.

Kazumi waited until the door closed before she allowed herself to sigh. If what Sesshoumaru showed her came true, all that knew about the project would be in great danger. The former lady of the Western Lands sighed again.

'If that fool could just understand that balance was always the only key. Now they're ready to destroy everything.' With a little shake of her head, she rose to look out the window at the city below.

'From now on, we all should be careful.'

oOoOoOoOo

Kagome groaned once again crawling to her door. In her mind she cursed so badly that Inuyasha would be shocked, or maybe just proud. You never knew with the hanyou. When she felt that she was beside the door, she rose to her feet and leaned on it.

"Who's there?" she asked.

"Miko." Kagome groaned miserably. 'For kami sake,' she thought irritated, 'does he always have to come in the middle of the night?' The girl shook her head. She wouldn't wake up only to hear ten words. Not this time.

"Go away," she mumbled. "Come tomorrow when I won't be sleeping." Perhaps it wasn't the best thing to tell to the dangerous daiyoukai standing on the other side of the door, but being half asleep the little miko really couldn't care less. That was until she heard another knock to the door.

"Miko, you will open that door if you do not wish to have it destroyed." At this Kagome opened the door and allowed the man to come inside. She had no doubt that he would do that, just to show her that she should do what he had said.

"Okay Sesshoumaru, what do you want?" She asked when she heard that he was inside her apartment. The youkai lord looked at her briefly.

"Go change. You are coming with me." Kagome's mouth fell open. Did he just say what she thought she heard him say?

"No. I'm not going anywhere with you," she said crossing her arms over her chest. There was no way she was leaving with him, wherever he wished to take her. Not at this hour, when all she wished was to go back to sleep.

They stood in the silence for a long moment before Sesshoumaru spoke again.

"Very well." To Kagome's horror the room fell into silence again, but this time it was unnerving. She couldn't say where he was, she couldn't even hear his breath and that made the hairs on her neck stand up.

Suddenly, she was caught by the waist and thrown onto something really hard. By the feel of it, she could guess it was his shoulder. 'What is he doing? Where is he taking me?' she thought frantically. She didn't bother to scream, none would be able to help her now. She only hoped she didn't piss him to the point where he would hurt her.

'Nah don't be silly, Sesshoumaru was never one to torture; he either killed or walked away. Inuyasha was an exception.' With a firm nod to herself, she allowed herself to be dragged from the house.

'Kami please just let me come back in one piece'
