MissTuffcy: Pardon my French, it's been years.
Summary: "You don't understand….I loved her….a lot….And he took that from me….so I've decided to take something he loves away from him to show him how I felt! It's nothing personal against you," A sigh "I had a feeling that not cutting ties with that idiot would cost me dearly…I should have listened to Jaken…."

Kai took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the bedroom. He peered in to see Sesshomaru curled on one side of the bed under the covers. Kai slipped in silently and slipped under the covers. He laid there staring at the back of Sesshomaru's head. He opened his mouth to say something but Sesshomaru cut him off. "Shut up. I want to sleep and I'm still pissed at you," Kai snapped his mouth closed and frowned. Sesshomaru rolled onto his other side to glare at Kai. "When we land, you better tell me the truth," Sesshomaru growled. Kai's frown deepened when Sesshomaru turned back around.
The two laid there in tense silence, neither one able to fall asleep. After a few more moments of tense silence, they both fell into an uneasy slumber. It wasn't until the crackle of the intercom did they wake again to find they had shifted in their sleep. Sesshomaru was cuddled against Kai with his face buried in the older male's neck and his arms squashed between their bodies. Kai had his arms wrapped tightly around Sesshomaru's waist. The intercom crackled again and Sesshomaru pulled away from Kai. Kai let out a long sigh as he watched Sesshomaru sit at the edge of the bed.
"Sirs, we'll be landing in about an hour," The pilot said over the intercom. They were asleep that long? Kai stood up from the bed as Sesshomaru walked out of the room and sat down at the table. Kai sat down across from him with a sigh.
"Sessh," Kai started.
"If you're not going to tell me the truth, don't bother wasting your breath in speaking to me right now," Sesshomaru snapped. He crossed his arms and looked out the small window next to him. Kai let out a long sigh.
"Alright, alright! I'll answer your questions, what do you want to know about first?" Kai asked, slumping back in the chair. Sesshomaru looked at him.
"What do you really do? You're not a bodyguard, are you?" Sesshomaru asked with a frown. "And who do you really work for?" Kai sighed and swiped a hand across his face.
"I'll just start from the beginning," Kai grumbled. "I work for a guy named Goshinki," Kai looked down at the table. "I still owe him a lot…He gave me a job when my parents were killed when I was 13. He rescued me from that horrid orphanage…" Kai looked up at Sesshomaru. "He was the one who bailed me out of prison. I am a bodyguard of sorts but I do….less than innocent jobs for him,"
"You work for a crime boss?" Sesshomaru asked breathlessly. Kai frowned.
"You know Goshinki?"
"Only from the news," Sesshomaru mumbled.
"And everyone who knows about him at a personal level or knows what he's doing, when he's doing it, is at danger of losing their lives," Kai said seriously. "This is why I don't tell you anything – why I still refuse to tell you everything," They sat in silence.
"Why did Jadiyah say he had first class tickets when we took his jet?"
"When he says first class, he means private jet," Kai said with a shrug. He chuckled. "He's a clown,"
"Does Jadiyah also work for Goshinki?" Sesshomaru asked. Kai shook his head.
"I met him when I was younger," Kai said. He hesitated after awhile. "We…er…dated for awhile before I met you," Kai rubbed the back of his neck. Sesshomaru frowned but stayed silent.
"Sirs, we're clear for landing," The intercom buzzed. Kai looked up briefly before he stood with a sigh. Sesshomaru watched him in confusion as he pulled him up by his hand. Kai led the two across from the table to the chairs and buckled both their belts.
"I love you, Sessh," Kai said as he pushed Sesshomaru's hair behind his ear. "Always have, always will….everything I do-"
"I do for you," Sesshomaru mumbled at the same time Kai did. Kai grinned before leaning down and kissing Sesshomaru.
Charles de Gualle Airport – Paris, France
"So this is Paris, huh?" Sesshomaru asked as he stepped out of the plane.
"Well the airport," Kai replied cheekily. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.
"Monsieur! Attention à la marche, s'il vous plaît," Sesshomaru glanced down at the man who had spoken. He was standing at the bottom of the steps that lead down from the plane to the ground.
"What did he say?"
"He said be careful walking down the steps," Kai said. He pulled Sesshomaru back out of the doorway. "Lemme go down first to get the bags out," Kai grinned at Sesshomaru who shrugged.
"Parlez-vous Japonais?" Kai asked as he made his way down the steps. Sesshomaru frowned as he followed behind him. Since when did Kai speak French?
"Non. Je suis désolé," The man replied.
"Come on, Sessh," Kai said. "We need to get inside and look for our ride," He grinned.
"Ride?" Sesshomaru asked with a frown.
"Oui," Kai grinned at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru stood holding his arm as he looked around the airport. He was trying to figure out where Kai had disappeared to. He was feeling a bit self-conscious because it felt like the whole airport was staring at him. With a silent huff, Sesshomaru gave up his search of Kai. The man had left with a 'be right back' and disappeared in the crowd of people. "Dammit Kai, where are you," Sesshomaru grumbled lowly. He gave a startled gasp when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned to look at a grinning Kai, holding two giant, soft-baked pretzels in his hand.
"The only thing I love about airports," He said with a chuckle. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow and took one of the pretzels from Kai.
"So, about that ride," Sesshomaru started as he took a small bite from the pretzel.
"Ah, ya," Kai mumbled as he took a large bite from his pretzel. "He said they'd be waiting somewhere near the front entrance,"
"He? He who?" Sesshomaru asked as he pulled the retractable handle up to his rolling luggage bag.
"Jadiyah," Kai said. "He told me to call him when we land so he can get a car over here," Kai grinned. "Just look for our last name," Kai slung the two duffel bags over both his shoulders and pulled up the retractable handle to his own rolling luggage. Sesshomaru nodded to him and they both started for the front entrance. He suddenly pointed, catching Kai's attention.
"There," Sesshomaru said. "Kiyomizu," Kai nodded and led Sesshomaru over to the man holding the sign up with their name.
After getting everything in the car, Sesshomaru and Kai sat in the back of the limo. Sesshomaru was still nibbling on the giant pretzel Kai had bought them at the airport. "I can't believe I'm in Paris," Sesshomaru said with a smile. Kai chuckled.
"Well, believe it,"
"Monsieur Kiyomizu, Je fus chargé d'aller à la villa de Onigumo. Est-ce correct?" The driver spoke from the front. Sesshomaru looked at Kai confusedly as the man responded back.
"C'est Correct,"
"What did he say?" Sesshomaru asked.
"We're gonna be staying at a friend's villa. Its way nicer than a hotel," Kai explained.
"Did he say Onigumo?" Sesshomaru asked with a frown. Kai furrowed his brow.
"Yeah, why? You know him?"
"I…think I do," Sesshomaru frowned. "The name sounds familiar but I don't remember how," He shrugged a moment later. "It's probably not important,"
"Yeah," Kai wrapped an arm around Sesshomaru's shoulders and pulled him in close. He grinned down at the younger. "You know….it's been awhile since we got busy," He snickered as he leaned in close to a flushed Sesshomaru. "And…we never did get a chance to do it in a limo…"
"I don't think so," Sesshomaru stated firmly.

The noise of the divider rolling down made Kai pull away from his panting husband. He glanced at the cracked window with a raised eyebrow, not once stopping his hand's – which was shoved down Sesshomaru's pants – motion. "K-Kai…ngh…stop…"
"Nous sommes arrivés," The driver announced after clearing his throat. Kai snickered silently. He turned his gaze back to Sesshomaru when he felt the other male grip his wrist tightly.
"Kai," Sesshomaru hissed.
"What is it, Mon chéri," Kai whispered into Sesshomaru's flushed ear.
"Ngh…no more, stop…." Sesshomaru groaned.
"But you're so close," Kai tugged at Kai's hand.
"Kai," he whined before snapping his eyes and month shut. He shuddered as his brow furrowed and gripped Kai's wrist tighter as he came in the other male's hand, biting back a loud groan. Kai snickered and pulled his hand from Sesshomaru. He pulled his hand up his face and licked his fingers.
"You taste way better than the pretzel," He said with a perverted grin. Sesshomaru smacked him in the stomach which earned him a grunt.
"Y-You're…such a pervert," Sesshomaru glared at him. Kai rubbed his stomach while his grin stretched ear to ear.
"And you love it," Kai cooed. Sesshomaru 'hmphed', trying to get his hair and clothes in some semblance of order.
"Shove it," Sesshomaru grumbled. Kai smirked and opened his mouth to reply – probably with something perverted – but Sesshomaru cut him off. "Shut up,"
"Whatever you say, baby,"
Sesshomaru stepped out of the car when the driver opened it up for him. He nodded to the man and stepped out of the way for Kai to get out. Sesshomaru looked up at the house and his eyes widened. "My Kami, this is gorgeous!" From where the car was parked up until the front door, the ground was lined with vibrantly colored hawthorn trees. Two giant horse-chestnut trees sat on either side of the house, casting shade on part of the front. The walkway was paved with stone that seemed to sparkle.
"Vous n'avez pas s'inquiéter. Je vais les sacs." Sesshomaru turned to see Kai walking from behind the car.
"Bienvenu, bienvenu!" Both Kai and Sesshomaru looked down the stone-paved pathway to see a dark haired man walking towards them. Sesshomaru's eyes lit up in recognition.
"Ah! Onigumo," Sesshomaru mumbled. Kai looked at him. "He is Naraku's older brother," Sesshomaru looked up at Kai. "How do you know Onigumo?" Kai shrugged.
"I really don't. Jade set this up," Kai said with another shrug. Sesshomaru furrowed his brow then turned back to Onigumo who had made it to them.
"You must be the Kiyomizus. Bienvenu á Paris!" He smiled and shook both their hands, repeating another 'Welcome' in French. "Ah," He paused in front of Sesshomaru and looked down slightly at the other male. "Vous êtes appelés Sesshomaru, non?" Sesshomaru frowned in confusion and looked at Kai.
"Yeah, his name is Sesshomaru," Kai answered.
"Ah! Pardon, pardon! I have been talking French for so long," He smiled. "It will be a bit challenging for me to stick to Japanese," He chuckled. Sesshomaru smiled weakly.
"That is quite alright,"
"Come, come! Come inside! You both must be a bit exhausted. Comment s'est passé votre vol?" He quickly escorted them inside. Sesshomaru looked to Kai again for a translation.
"Meh…comme ci comme ça," Kai said with a shrug. "It could have been worse," He added with a chuckle. Sesshomaru frowned and rolled his eyes. He was definitely going to need a dictionary for this trip.
Posted where I stopped.
A little extra "refining" went into this chapter. I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted them to land in Le Bourget Airport or Roissy Airport. I only say this because Le Bourget is mostly for private jets – which they flew in – and Roissy is for international commercial flights. However, Roissy is much larger and might even have the pretzel stand where as Le Bourget would probably lack that stand because it has its own bistro. It's a tiny detail but I wanted to make it as believable as I could so, a little bit would be made up, hehe. I guess its okay considering in the first chapter, Naraku was in a completely made up – by me – restaurant!
Btw Charles de Gualle = Roissy
Sorry if any info or French is a bit choppy. It HAS been years since I last spoke it. Haha.
Anyway, I'm glad you all are so in love with this story! It makes me proud because I really do enjoy writing this story. I'm up to chapter 50 hand-written. It'd probably be way less since my written chapters are a bit on the short side maybe 300 to 800 words a chapter? Or less!
Reactions? :D
