Chapter 9

Shippo rolled over in his bed, the tail of his latest conquest pressing against his abdomen. He ran his hands up her stomach, nipping lightly at her ear as his large arms surrounded her.

"Mmmm Shippo-kun I'm not ready for round two yet" she purred, sleepily stretching against him.

"You sure my sweet" he asked, softly licking where his fangs had pierced.

"Mmhmm" she moaned, slipping back to sleep as he left the bed.

Heading to the bathroom he hopped into the shower, he began to stretch and flex as water slowly dripped down his body. He loved how the water felt dripping down his body. Where he would usually spent an hour in the shower, today it was cut short due to the ringing of a phone.

"Hello" Shippo stated, irritated as he tried to towel off his hair, not wanting to have the uncomfortable feeling of water on his ear.

"Shippo I need you to come by my office" Sesshomaru's strict tones signaled to Shippo that not only was it business that signaled the call, but that it was urgent.

"I'll be there in fifteen minutes Sesshomaru-sama" Shippo quickly began to dress, sitting down on his bed he began to pull up his pants.

"I'm ready now if you are" the girl that had been sleeping in his bed slipped her hands around his waist, her face pressing to his back as her hand slipped into his boxers.

"Whoa" he shouted in surprise, a shiver going down his spine as she moved her hand up and down his shaft, "Sorry Sweetheart, I've gotta go" He plucked her hand from his shorts, turning around he pressed his lips to hers while pulling up his pants.

"There will be some breakfast ready when you finally get out of bed" he pulled a green t-shirt over his head, grabbing a brown leather vest from a chair next to the door as he left the room.

"Good Morning Iseala" he greeted his housekeeper, the smell of bacon reaching his nose.

"Good Morning Sir" she said handing him a thermos of coffee and some toast as he walked out the door.

He got into a limo that waited at the door for him, not needing to give any instructions to the driver since Sesshomaru had taken care of it.

Fifteen minutes later exactly Shippo was stepping into Sesshomaru's office.

"Punctual as usual" Sesshomaru stated as he stood from his after the ritual bow, they got right down to business.

"What's wrong Sesshomaru-sama" Sesshomaru sat back down, grounding his palm against his forehead in frustration.

"Kagome's been born" Shippo asked.

"Oh she was born about fifteen years ago, soon she'll be falling into the Bone Eater's Well and I can't trust him not to do anything" Shippo's curiosity was peeked, part of him wanted to see his Momma.

"What do you want me to do" Shippo asked, nervously tugging on his shirt, no matter how muscular and tall he became Sesshomaru still managed to make him feel like a child.

"I want you to come with me to kill him, I'm worried that Ryu might betray me, I don't want to take any risks, so I want you to come with me. Tomorrow at eight, I'll pick you up, be ready by seven thirty.

"Yes sir" Shippo answered, leaving the office as Sesshomaru flicked his hand through the air.
