"I've always felt that the best place to hide a body is in the trunk of a cop car, with a note affixed to the body that reads, "I'm sorry."" – Jarod Kintz

Sesshomaru jolted from his sleep to stare blankly up at nothing. The room was dark, save the few moments in which a flash of lightning would illuminate the room for a brief second before the room was submerged into darkness again. Sesshomaru sat up slowly, wincing as he did so, and glanced at the clock. It read '4:30'. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, shuddering lightly. An overwhelming feeling of dread suddenly washed over him as he stared down at his covered legs in the darkness. He looked beside him and reached out to touch empty space. He frowned. He didn't realize Kai left out so early in the morning.

Throwing the covers off his naked frame, he swung his feet over the bed with another sigh. He winced as he stood and held a hand to his lower back. "Kai," He grumbled grumpily. He gave another sigh as he walked towards the door, feeling for a robe as he went. He managed to snatch up so boxers from the floor, as it was stuck on his foot as he left the room. He didn't know whose it was but he threw them on anyway with a tired grumble.

Sesshomaru slowly made his way down the steps in the dark, tying his robe closed as he went. He cursed lowly as he stumbled over the rug as he made it off the stairs. "Carpet," He growled lowly.

He made his way into the kitchen, flipping the light on as he walked towards the sink. He opened the cabinet over the sink and pulled a tea kettle out, going about the tea making process. Sighing, he turned around and leaned back against the sink as he waited for the water to boil. Sesshomaru turned around to look out the window just as a flash of lightning illuminated the outside. He froze as he saw someone standing in the window staring at him before everything went dark. The storm outside began to pick up with booms of thunder, howling winds, and pelting rain.

Sesshomaru jumped as the tea kettle began to whistle. "Just my imagination," Sesshomaru whispered to himself as he poured the boiled water into a cup and put the tea bag in. He picked up his cup and walked into the living room, sitting down on the couch. Picking up the remote, he turned the TV on and lounged on the couch. He heard a thump and his gaze snapped away from the TV to look around the darkness of the room. He stood up and walked into the hallway and looked towards the top of the stairs. It was pitch black still, save for the light spilling from the kitchen to light some of the hallway.

"It's just the storm," Sesshomaru whispered to himself as he walked back into the living room to take up his previous position on the couch. After awhile, the low "muttering" of whatever the TV was playing put Sesshomaru to sleep. Until a loud crash of thunder, rattling the windows a bit, threw him out of his light sleep. He sat up and rubbed his eye. The phone's ringing pierced the silence just before another crash of thunder. Sesshomaru frowned and looked in the direction of the phone. When did we hook that up? When did they even activate the phone? No one even knew the new number yet – which brings us back to the question to how the phone even got activated!

Sesshomaru sighed and stood from the couch to walk towards the phone. He heard another thump and he frowned at the archway to the hallway. He shrugged again and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Babe, do you mind coming and picking me up?"

"Kai?" Sesshomaru frowned. "Wait, when did you set up this phone?"

"Yesterday. Can you come, babe?"

"Didn't you take the car?"

"No, that's why I'm asking you,"

"Why didn't you take the car?"

"I was picked up – Baby, stop with the twenty questions and come get me," Kai said through a chuckle. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed.

"Why don't you just get back home the way you got out? Besides, I don't want to drive in this weather. Its storming out!"

"Babe, please," Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at the almost desperate tone Kai took on.

"What's going on with you? Did you do something you're not supposed to?" Sesshomaru asked. Kai was silent on the other line but it sounded like he was talking to someone in the background. "Kai?" He still was met with the low mumbling from the other end. "I'm going to hang up with you,"

"Babe, come get me, please. I'm at the Jade Lounge,"

"Did you not just hear what I said? I'm not-"

"Sessh! Just come get me," Kai snapped, interrupting Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed.

"Who the hell are you talking to?" Sesshomaru demanded. Sesshomaru heard someone in the background yell 'for god's sake' and heard shuffling before a new voice yelled through the phone.

"Just get the fuck out of the house before you die!" The line went dead. Sesshomaru froze and stared at the wall in front of him. His gaze slowly flickered to the hallway as another flash of lightning lit up the room.

"Okay," Sesshomaru said calmly before hanging up the phone. He slowly walked into the hall and picked up the keys before rushing out the door.

"Are you fucking serious!" Kai snapped as he glared at the male sitting across from him. The man glared back at him. The man, like Kai, was tan but slim with feminine features; narrow caramel eyes, shoulder length black hair, and a tattoo of a skull on his forehead.

"Fucking kami, Kai! Ignorance is not bliss. You keep this up and you're going to be the cause of death of the one you're trying to protect," The man across from him growled.

"I still don't want to drag him into all this," Kai growled.

"He was dragged in the moment you 'got married' to him," The man said, using air quotes when he said 'got married'.

"I should fucking punch you," Kai growled.

"And I should fucking shoot you, but we all don't do what we should do, now do we?" The man growled back. "Now your fucktoy is going to the Jade Lounge because of your stupid ass," The man stood up. "Let's go,"

"You just fucked everything up for me, you know that right?" Kai asked with a frown.

"Non-sense!" The man said with a wide grin. "I have an idea!"

"If it doesn't work, I'm going to destroy you," Kai grumbled.

"Oh Kai," The man gasped. "I'm hurt that you think my ideas never work,"

"Your ideas landed me in prison for 15 fucking years. What else am I supposed to think?" The two stood up and Kai followed him out the room they were currently in.

"Oh posh," was all the response he got as the two got into the car.

Sesshomaru pulled to a stop in front of Jade Lounge and turned the car off. He sat there with a frown. He flicked his wet hair from his face and looked out the window and up at the dark building. The sign said closed. Sesshomaru frowned at that. "Why would he be here?" Sesshomaru yelped as someone banged on the window of the car. He leaned back away from the window as the person was pulled away to reveal a glaring Kai.

Sesshomaru sat on the couch of the lounge with a towel draped over his shoulders. He gripped the towel around him, light trembles wrecking his frame every now and then. "Sessh, are you okay?" Kai asked with a frown. Sesshomaru looked at him as the other male with Kai walked into the room with a tray of tea.

"Mint anyone?" He grinned. "I'm sorry about the scare," he chuckled. "My name is Jadiyah,"

"The owner of the Jade industries?" Sesshomaru asked with a frown. Jadiyah nodded with a smirk. "That was your voice on the phone….what did you mean I was going to die?" Kai glared at Jadiyah. Said man closed his eyes and grinned, tipping his head to the side.

"Oh! I was only joking! I wanted to meet you and Kai was being a douche so I told him to tell you to get over here by telling you he needed to be picked up but Kai is terrible at lying so I just had to butt in-"

"Joking?" Sesshomaru asked incredulously as Jadiyah sat the tray down.

"Yeah!" Jadiyah chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck. "Not the best way to go about it but-" He was cut off as Sesshomaru stood and decked him in the face. Kai's eyes widened as he jumped up to hold Sesshomaru's arms. It looked like the shorter male was going to punched Jadiyah again.

"You son of a bitch!" Sesshomaru shouted. "You made me walk out the house in a storm, in just a robe, get in the car and drive through this god forsaken rain - which I made add nearly cost me to run off the road more than five times - just because you wanted to meet me?" Jadiyah stood from the floor, rubbing his sore jaw.

"Damn, you pack a powerful punch," Jadiyah grumbled.

"Sessh, calm down," Kai said. Sesshomaru turned on Kai.

"How am I supposed to calm down? That really scared the hell out of me! First my brother is run off the road and the authorities say it wasn't an accident! That someone purposely tried to kill him and now this! Someone tells me to leave the house because I'm going to die? How would you feel if you were in my position?" Sesshomaru growled angrily. Kai pulled the shorter male to his chest and shushed him. He heard the hysterical tone creeping into Sesshomaru's voice. He glared heatedly at Jadiyah, who was mumbling about bruising.

"Come on, babe, calm down," Kai whispered into Sesshomaru's hair. He kissed the top of his head and laid his own on top. "I told you: I won't let anything happen to you. I'd stop the world for you," Kai whispered.

"Take me home," Sesshomaru mumbled. Kai glanced out through the glass door.

"I don't think we should head out right now," Kai said. "The storm picked up even more,"

"You guys can take one of the rooms upstairs," Jadiyah spoke up.

"You have rooms in a lounge?" Kai asked with a raised eyebrow. Jadiyah shrugged.

"I didn't design the place," He snickered.

After Kai got Sesshomaru settled in and back to sleep, he came back downstairs to see Jadiyah fiddling with his phone. "I don't know what to do anymore," Kai sighed. He plopped down in the chair across from Jadiyah. The ravenette looked up at him.

"What do you mean?"

"No matter where I move, they'll find him,"

"Who is they?" Jadiyah asked, looking back down at his phone.

"That's just it….I don't know," Kai stared out the window at the raging storm.

"Why don't you move him out the country," Jadiyah suggested off-handedly.

"That's not a bad idea…" Kai mumbled lowly. "The rain is going to stop soon and then it will snow," Kai grumbled. Jadiyah snapped his gaze up and glared at Kai.

"Asshole,"

"Besides, I don't know anyone out of the country….so I can't just randomly throw him in some random place," Kai looked back at Jadiyah.

"I have an idea," Jadiyah said, looking back down at his phone.

"Aren't you just full of them," Kai grumbled lowly. Jadiyah glared at him.

"Fine, don't listen to me,"

"I'm sorry! Just tell me,"

"Well," Jadiyah smirked. "I've been messing with this guy named Jak. He has a cousin who owns Spider Industry," Jadiyah looked up at Kai. "The owner lives in Europe right now," Jadiyah shrugged. "I can pull some strings and see if I can get him to take your fucktoy in,"

"If you call him that one more time, I may just have to make him come back down here and deck you in the face again," Kai growled. "Because if I do it, I might just kill you," Jadiyah rolled his eyes.

"Please…I've been hit harder," Jadiyah snorted.

"What's the guy's name?"

"Onigumo," Jadiyah muttered as he went back to playing with his phone.

Reactions?

Jadiyah = Jay – Dee – Yah
