A Simple Request

Chapter 2- Imprint

Kagome coughed as she began to rouse. She inhaled deeply as she rubbed the back of her head as she tried to remember where she was. She coughed again and realized she was breathing in smoke. "Fuck!" She said standing drunkenly. Kagome raced down five flights of stairs and met fire. "Dammit!" She cursed as she covered her sensitive nose with her hand while searching for a way down with her trained eyes. She heard the glass from the window beside her break and she instantly turned, only to see a man with shining silver hair standing in the burning building in a tan trench overcoat. His dark amber eyes landed on her form and Kagome found herself entranced by his beauty. "Who the hell are you?" She questioned wiping sweat from her brow.

"I sensed someone alive in here as I was passing by… I apologize for disturbing you if this is an every day thing." Kagome's jaw fell slack and she glared at him.

"No, this is not something I do everyday. My fuckin bitch ass cousin knocked me out…" She was interrupted by an explosion and jumped away from the stairs as the fire spread.

"Hmm, it seems you and your family gets along well." Kagome glared at him and suddenly hated him for his smart remarks.

"Yeah something like that." Kagome responded as she looked him up and down. He sported a gun on his right hip and was in khaki slacks and a formal, crisp white shirt with a red tie.

"You are in a gang?" He questioned as she approached him. She stared at him with uncertainty before nodding.

"Look, you can question me AFTER we get out of this burning piece of-,"

"I would appreciate if you did not curse in my presence." He interrupted her grabbing her by her curvy waist.

"Who the hell are you? Queen Sheeba?" she remarked as he jumped out of the window he had entered in.

"No, I am-,"

"Yeah, I don't care, but you can put me down now."

"You are the rudest….bitch I have ever met." Kagome nearly lost her balance as he released her waist and she placed her hands on her hips.

"Well, you're the most uptight asshole I have ever met, and to think I thought that fucker InuYasha was the worse." Kagome was against the building before she could blink and nearly flinched.

"Are you speaking of InuYasha Tashio?" He questioned quickly and Kagome's eyes widened as she placed her tiny hands on his larger one.

"Yes, the one and only fucker. God, what the hell? You hide your youkai well." The man's eyes widened and he dropped her promptly on her rump.

"You are in that large gang against my brother then." He stated more then questioned. Kagome picked herself up and dusted her bottom off.

"If your brother is InuYasha…then I suppose that is a yes…"

"You need to talk some sense into him." Kagome shook her head in confusion as he began to walk and she followed dumbly behind him.

"What? He's thickheaded. No one can talk sense into him if they had a gun to his head, and besides. What do you want ME to speak to him about? You don't even know my name."

"Yes, well, neither do I care." Kagome rolled her eyes and responded with the same tone.

"Yes, well, I'm against him and his stupid ass Naraku, and Kikyo's whoring-," Kagome was once again cut off, but this time by the strange male enclosing his hand around her throat and against a mid-night blue car.

"Woman, you babble a lot, but are you speaking of Naraku Ishigamu?" Kagome shrugged and placed a hand on his larger one once more.

"I suppose. I don't memorize people by last names though."

"What are you mixed with?" He questioned randomly. Kagome once again stared at him with uncertain eyes. "You have the most peculiar eyes and scent. I can tell you are hiding your demonic aura, but there is something else there as well." Kagome was for once silent and she smiled beautifully before responding.

"I don't believe that is to any of your business considering you don't wish to know my name, and I would appreciate if you would release me so I can drive home."

"Drive home in what?" The male questioned releasing the talkative woman and stepping back a few. He watched as she looked around the parking lot and scented her anger spark when she muttered about killing Kouga. It seemed she knew all the notorious men his job was after. He watched as she pulled a blue razor cell phone from her back pocket and began to text someone.

"Tell me, do you know Souta Higurashi?" he questioned tapping her on her shoulder. Kagome pulled away from his touch and responded irritably.

"I aint tellin you shit. Now, can you drive home in that little Lincoln of yours and get the hell away from me?" She watched as his dark amber pools flashed with slight anger and she withdrew her gun.

"You are going to shoot me with an empty weapon? Smart thinking." He said before unlocking his car and getting in. Kagome watched in silence as he drove away with rapid speed and kicked the gravel as she waited for her older brother to arrive. She walked away from the burning building and down a couple of blocks when a familiar sky blue PT Cruiser approached her from the side. Smiling, she opened the passenger door and hopped in.

"Why the hell do you smell like smoke for?" her older brother asked as he began to drive again.

"I like to play with fire…have you forgotten?" She heard him growl dangerously at her and she rolled her eyes.

"C'mon Souta, I'm pretty sure you saw that burning building on your way down the street-,"

"You were in there? How the hell did you end up in there?"

"A little gun fight went down and I was knocked out." Kagome responded staring into his brown eyes. Her stomach shifted as they crossed over a bridge with water underneath.

"Why the hell was you alone? I thought you were at a party with Miroku and Kouga." Kagome stared out the window as she ran over a few ideas in her mind how to answer.

"You already know the deal, I'm pretty sure Miroku told you already so I don't know why the hell your interrogating me like it's my fault." Souta slammed on brakes and Kagome screamed. "What the hell is your problem?" She yelled at him once her back hit the seat.

"Don't get bold with me Kagome, what the fuck happened?" Souta questioned. With a glance his way, Kagome could tell he was very upset and angry.

"What are you talking about?"

"Naraku's deal with him! What did he offer and did you accept? That bastard wouldn't let you walk out unharmed." Kagome shrank into her seat and shook her head.

"No I didn't accept his deal, and he wanted a child from me." Souta gave her a ridiculous look and began driving again.

"You're grounded."

"What the hell did you just say?"

"I said you are fucking grounded." Kagome glared maliciously at him then released a growl.

"You are a fucking moron. You can't ground me."

"Says who?"

"Says me that's who!"

"Who the fuck is you? I pay the god damn bills for your car and the house."

"Yeah, with illegal money." Kagome muttered turning from him after folding her arms.

"Who gives a fuck if it's illegal or not." Kagome watched him softly as he pulled into their driveway. "I run this motha fuckin city and no one is going to change that."

"I wish you could see how stupid and ignorant you've become since mom died. Maybe then you'd realize why I want out of your stupid gang."

"You can have outs, I don't care 'Gome, but guess what." He waited for her to respond and she placed a hand on the door handle as she prepared to leave the car. Souta pressed the automatic lock button and smirked slightly. "I said guess what Kagome."

"What Souta?"

"I'm leaving the house. I can't risk gettin you or Shippo hurt. I already packed my shit and it's in my truck that I traded with Kouga to get you. He'll be pickin me up shortly."

"The hell if I care, good riddance. Shippo and I still have enough money from mom's insurance check to live off on." Kagome responded manually unlocking her door and getting out. She removed her keychain from her belt loop and quickly found the house key then unlocked the door. She sighed as she inhaled the homey scent her house always had then closed and locked the door behind her. Kagome glanced around and turned off all the downstairs lights then tiptoed to the second floor of her home. She quietly walked into her sleeping little brother's room and moved the red hair from his forehead then kissed it gently.

With a content smile, she tiptoed into her room and then into the joint bathroom. Her pajamas were on the chair she moved into the bathroom specifically for her clothes because she was a very neat and tidy person. She showered quickly and glanced at the alarm clock sitting on the bathroom counter. It was four eleven a.m. also Thursday, which meant she had to go to school in two hours… Shrugging Kagome slid exited her bathroom and slid into bed. She only needed about three hours of sleep and she would be fine taking Shippo to school. With a tired yawn, she fell asleep and dreamed about fire. She had finished high school at eleven, and college at fifteen. No one would hire her though, because of her age, and now she was the tender age of seventeen, so she still had a few more years of sitting around her house with nothing to do. "Kagsie!" A high pitched male voice exclaimed jumping on her bed. Kagome opened her eyes with a start and groaned as the bouncing jumping bean jumped from her bed and to the window to open the curtains.

"Don't I get five more minutes?" she questioned playfully glancing at her alarm clock.

"No," he giggled, "You have to fix me breakfast while I get washed up silly. You should be used to this routine miss. Perhaps if you weren't out all night partying-," Kagome laughed and threw her pillow at her little brother.

"Are you scolding me mister?" She questioned as he pulled back the covers.

"Yes, because you promised to tuck me in last night." He said with a pouty voice as he walked closer to his older sister.

"Aww, I'm sorry about that Shippo, I won't break my promise again." Kagome said hugging him gently and pecking his forehead. "Now go get ready for school, you're stalling breakfast." Shippo beamed a fanged grin at her and raced off. Kagome yawned and stretched as she headed to the kitchen, washing her hands before preparing their usual bacon, eggs, and sausage.

"Yummy that smells awesome Kagsie." Kagome beamed him a smile and set his plate down.

"Toast," she warned sitting her plate on the table as well. Shippo grinned and snatched the toast just as it popped into the air. He licked his lips and ran to the table.

"OJ? Or apple?" She questioned opening the fridge after setting out two glasses.

"Umm, what are you having?" Shippo questioned with a mouthful of toast.

"I'm drinking water-,"

"Me too then." He interrupted with a bright smile. Kagome removed two bottles of water from the fridge and placed on in front of him then near her plate.

"How's school going squirt?" She questioned opening his water then his.

"Good, where's Souta? He said he was going to take me to school today." Kagome's face fell and she scooped a little egg into her mouth with a fork.

"Umm, he moved out." She answered simply as her mind worked to figure out what to say next.

"Why and so suddenly?"

"He and his girlfriend-,"

"That's not it Kagome." Shippo interrupted finishing his breakfast and placing his plate in the sink. Kagome's head bowed and she handed the rest of her meat to him. She knew the four year old knew more than he let on but shrugged it off.

"Go wash your hands and get dressed. Did you brush your teeth?"

"I always do that after breakfast Kagsie. You're ignoring the topic at hand." Kagome glanced at the oven clock and shook her head.

"Shoo or we're going to be late and I won't take you on the Davidson." Shippo's bright emerald eyes widened and he raced off. Though Shippo was only four years old, he was quite intelligent, and instead of normal preschool or head start, Shippo was in an advanced program for the gifted. In other words, really smart kids. Kagome placed her plate in the sink and ran to wash up and get dressed. She put on a pair of black boots, blue jeans, and a Chinese style shirt. It was baby blue with small chibi dragons decorating it then raced into the kitchen to wash the few dishes. Shippo raced from his room moments later quickly putting his backpack on.

"Okay I'm ready."

"Let me see those pearly whites." Kagome stalled grabbing her helmet and leather jacket. Shippo flashed pearly white, sharp teeth and pushed past her to grab his helmet. Kagome smiled and placed it on his head carefully then her own. "C'mon buddy, let's make you look cool to the fifth graders. You can sit in front of me." Shippo radiated with excitement and Kagome giggled as she locked the door behind them. She sat on the custom made motorcycle first then picked up the light weight Shippo before starting the motorcycle. They raced down the driveway and onto the highway.

Sesshomaru growled as he was woken up in the same procedure Kagome was. "C'mon Daddy, the maid lady already fixed me breakfast and washed me up, you promised to take me to school today." A four year old brown haired and eyed girl exclaimed opening his curtains so the sun would shine in his eyes. "You shouldn't let your job keep you out in all hours of the night-,"

"Are you scolding me Rin?" Sesshomaru questioned with an amused expression as he raised his eyebrow.

"Yes, because you also promised you would make it home in time to watch Chibi Chibi Li Long with me last night, but Miss Yuri had to instead…and she's no fun because she's always on the phone with her friends." Sesshomaru motioned her into his arms and she ran into them with speed.

"Do you wish to acquire a new sitter?" He questioned giving her a bear hug and kiss on her soft forehead.

"Yes, a nicer one too. We always eat pizza." Rin made a face and Sesshomaru chuckled then attacked her ribcage which caused her to respond in joyous laughter.

"Go get your things, I'll work on that today while I'm in the office okay?" He told her as she ran off. Sesshomaru sighed and dressed for work. He was a private investigator and despite his lack of necessity for sleep, he hadn't managed to catch a wink last night. The woman he had encountered at the burning warehouse had invaded his every thought. Power radiated from her like a nuclear plant, and he wanted it. He made a mental note to look up any type of demoness with a lot of power the government would worry for. Hell, he worked for the government, and they were concerned about his strengths. He slid on his sleek, black shoes and brushed his silky, silver hair from his shoulders. Another thing that had him intrigued was that the girl knew his bastard brother. Growling Sesshomaru tried to remember the spitfire's face but failed, the only thing he could see were her eyes.

It had been even stranger that she had scented that he hid his power while he couldn't begin to detect hers. If he met up with her again, he would be sure to get a name, especially if she was in a gang like she had claimed. He could not have that sort of trouble running around his streets. He ruled them with a tight fist, but violence usually managed to sneak its way in with the help of his idiotic gang-related brother. Sesshomaru nodded his head to his housekeeper and grabbed Rin's hand as he placed her in the car seat inside his Porsche. His little Rin went to a school for the gifted, where most young demon children went. She was quite intelligent, and very feisty, fully his daughter, but lacked any traits of being a demon. A government test. He scoffed. They had offered to kill the child, but he wanted her. She contained his DNA and he had watched her grow from a fetus, the bond was there regardless, and he would not allow them to throw away his first child.

He buckled her seat belt and plopped behind the driver's seat. "Look's like we're going to be on time today Rin." He told her with a slight curve of his lips and Rin clapped her hands in excitement.

"Let's go Daddy go." As Sesshomaru pulled into Rin's school he noticed the familiar caress to his aura he had experienced a few hours ago and nearly shot out of the car with Rin in his arms. A familiar scent tingled on a custom made motorcycle and he narrowed his eyes as the scent trailed into the building. "Daddy, what's the rush?" Rin questioned as he darted into the building. Sesshomaru said nothing and bumped into said person he was chasing. Surprised, Rin fell out of his grasp and he watched and fear, frozen as her fragile body continued to fall to the marble floor. Scrawny, muscular arms swooped from nowhere and picked caught his daughter before she fell and a tiny giggle was heard.

"Gotcha, since when did pretty four year olds fall from the sky?" a familiar, more gentle voice questioned.

"I didn't fall from the sky silly, my daddy dropped me."

"I did not drop you Rin," Sesshomaru argued turning the corner fully, "I merely lost my grip-,"

"You?!" Kagome exclaimed releasing Shippo's hand and pointing at said daiyoukai. Sesshomaru blinked slightly and narrowed his eyes.

"It is rude to point." Shippo, Rin, and Sesshomaru spoke at once. Kagome dropped her hand with a blush and bowed her head.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome questioned almost with excitement, but curiosity wreaked her scent instead. Sesshomaru inhaled deeply at her delicious, fruity scent and the looked down at the tiny hand she held. He nearly breathed a sigh of unwanted relief when he scented that the child was her brother instead of her child.

"I am dropping my daughter off-,"

"I'd say." Kagome interrupted with a snort and Rin giggled. Kagome smiled beautifully and set the girl down.

"Where's your classroom?"

"My classroom is number ten."

"Really? That's Shippo's too. I've never seen or felt you here before." Kagome replied with a smile.

"Felt?" Sesshomaru echoed dumbly. Kagome smiled slightly and realized that her aura was releasing soft caresses of power.

"Yeah, Kagsie does this cool thing with her auras. She sends lots of love into our auras so we feel happier and have a good day." Shippo exclaimed. Kagome turned red with embarrassment and released his hand.

"Shippo!" She whispered with an embarrassed glance Sesshomaru and Rin's way.

"I told you not to call me that in public."

"What is it short for?" Rin and Sesshomaru questioned together.

"Kagome," She replied then reached for Sesshomaru's hand, "Kagome Higurashi." A bell rang and Kagome pushed at Shippo's shoulder. "Escort the lady to her class Shippo, I'll be back to pick you up later." Shippo took Rin's hand and bounded off. Sesshomaru took her outstretched hand and they shook firmly.

"Sesshomaru Tashio." He replied in return.

"Do you mind coming into my downtown office with me momentarily?" He questioned as they made their way out of the school.

"Why?" Kagome questioned and Sesshomaru shook his head as he placed his stoic mask back on. This woman had ways of making one feel relaxed beyond comfort. He flashed her, his badge briefly and Kagome's eyes met his in a heated glare.

"So you're a private investigator for the police?" He nodded and her eyes searched the parking lot for his car. She spotted the blue Porsche and shook her head. "I shoulda known you were a piggy. I suppose you want to take me in for questioning?" Sesshomaru nodded once more and Kagome shrugged. "Sure, lead the way. I aint got nothin better to do anyhow."

"Do you not attend school?"

"Nope, I graduated a few years ago, and college too." Sesshomaru raised his eyebrows impressed.

"You seem to have quite an imprint, Miss Higurashi." Sesshomaru commented as she put on her helmet.

"What do you mean?"

"I will need your finger imprints when we get there."

"What the hell are you doing? Arresting me?" Kagome questioned, her voice muffled by the helmet.

"No, I just merely want to run a background check." She responded with a growl his way and started up her motorcycle.

Review.. I love ya'll.
