Chapter 2 – He will do

-x-x-x-

Papers went flying in her way as she rushed to the meeting room, too annoyed by the fact that she had had so much work to do to notice that she had left someone waiting there for at least half an hour. Carrying the stack of flying papers to where she was supposed to meet the obnoxious hanyo, Kagome prayed to the Gods above that he will not try to make some stupid joke about how distressed she looked or bark at her for the solely reason that she was late. She will not take that shit from a man that had stood her up on their dates, every single time, coming to their meeting place after al least two hours, excusing himself with pitiful lies. She would for surely kill him if he would open his mouth to berate her.

Her hills clacked on the floor, hard enough for even humans to realize that something was wrong in their boss's behavior. But what triggered this anger of hers you may ask? Well, the impudent male's mate, her cousin Kikyo, had called her, at her office, to tell her something about the hanyo that she didn't even remember because of the anger that had flooded her system the moment she had heard that obnoxious voice over the phone. She didn't have anything against Kikyo and her former, cheating boyfriend being together. Only the Gods knew how well they suited each other, but she hated when her cousin would start bragging about her relationship, demanding things from Kagome every time she heard that Inuyasha had a meeting at her office. She despised that woman for this reason solely.

Huffing angrily, the young miko opened the door to the wide meeting hall-like room with her foot, stomping to her seat without looking around her, her senses too preoccupied with trying to see past her rage to receive any other signals from the things around her. Plus, she cold hardly see anything because of the stack of papers that blocked her vision. She had yet to organize them in order to give them to the stupid half-breed so he could send them to his brother, the CEO of Tashio Group.

"You are late, onna!" a deep rumble, sexy because of the low baritone, ran up and down her spine, startling her.

Her head snapped up immediately, to see who was in the room who sounded so annoyed by her lack of punctuality. Her eyes scanned the room in search for the one that possessed the voice, and, when she, at last, sow the man, her mouth closed itself with a thump, her teeth hurting her. If she hadn't made a passion on researching all the top 'dogs' in the business she was in, then she would have at least identify him after his very distinguished markings. The man that stood at the large wall-to-wall window was none other than Sesshomaru Tashio, the one demon she really didn't want to see. He was known for the fact that he was very harsh with his partners and workers, but most of all, he was number one in the world of trading plus industrial and technological domain. He was the one person you wouldn't want to anger, but, do to her luck, Kagome had managed just that.

"I am very sorry for the inconvenience, Tashio-sama, but I had to finish inspecting all the data you have last send me." she explained, keeping her calm.

One thing was for sure: she had made him wait longer than anyone had ever made him and she still had her head on her shoulders. Sure, he wasn't about to truly kill her, but he could destroy her company without any effort, though he would loose an important partner. She had to remain calm and collected. She wasn't dealing with the boisterous clearly younger inu, but with the demon lord himself.

"Hn" was her only response as she raised her head, her hands already working fast and with fine precision on arranging the papers in front of her. As she made her body work, her mouth opened to ask him about the last developments that have yet to reach the market.

The she continued to ask him, displaying statistics, the Lord of the Western Lands didn't give her an answer. Not even his signature grumble of disapproval. He just stared out the window, admiring the skies and not paying attention. The miko's sent changed from time to time from the refreshing one of calmness, to curiosity, to annoyance and finally anger, the spicy sent making his nose twitch but not with displeasure. She sure was an interesting girl, though younger than him and with a lack in her self control, not to mention her powers that fluctuated with every mood swing she had.

"You should stop you foolish jabbering, onna. You are making this Sesshomaru grow tired." his voice void of any emotion made her shut her trap, her blood boiling at this point with anger.

For what reason in hell, earth and heaven was he acting so high and mighty, waffling his aura with so much superiority as if she didn't matter to him at all? Sure, she was human and, he being on a higher status than her, looked at her like he looked at any other human, but she had done nothing wrong to deserve such treatment! Swallowing down her acid words, Kagome tried to smile at the stoic looking demon male, though he could clearly see her lips twitch in anger. She was indeed an interesting woman, though he paid no attention to humans.

Seeing as she had finished with the papers he had send earlier that day to be signed for shipping and other things, he walked to the end of the table were she was to pick them up. As he came closer, the sun falling directly on him, Kagome swallowed again, this time for a different reason. Sure, he was a gorgeous specimen, tall and well built, but there was something in the way he hovered above her that made her shrink even more. He was twice her size, and God knows how many times more powerful. But what had made her stop dead in her track like a deer caught by the car lights were his eyes: as beautiful as they may be they were so cold, so icy and void of any emotion that she immediately wondered if the man had a heart. Putting things aside, she handed the papers to him with a steady hand, not looking away, and finding only his physique attractive.

Looking through them with a critical eye, Sesshomaru just nodded once. A job well done if he might say so himself. Turning with his back facing her, the daiyoukai walked out, sparing her a last glance before he was gone out of the office.

"You should control yourself, miko, or this Sesshomaru will have to teach you mannerisms again." the mumbled words struck her hard and, even though she tried to hide her displeasure, some sipped through her barrier and bumped with fury into his youki.

And he was gone before she could open her mouth and shout at him to stick his warnings where the sun doesn't shine.

'Thank the Gods that are watching me that they made him go away before I lost control of my powers. Though I think the bastard would survive at least the first attack...' she thought bitterly.

He was such a cocky jerk sometimes that it made her skin crawl in disbelieve. Sure, he was handsome and had the world at his feet, but that didn't made him some king over all. She for one didn't want to have anything to do with the Ice Lord, though, for a one night stand, he would be pretty damn good if he was just as good in bed as he was at both fighting and business.

'Bad, baaaad Kagome! How can you think like that?' her conscience slapped her across the face, snapping her out of her daydreaming.

As she fought with the urges that now made her body tingle, a shy knock on the door drew her attention there, as the small head of her secretary appeared, a small polite smile crossing her lips. When azure met chocolate, the smile widened.

"You little... Why didn't you tell me that the lord of Icetopia was here? I could have speared some more minutes trying to make him even angrier!" a tired, but somewhat playful angry tone vibrated through the room till it reached the older woman's ears, a giggle fallowing soon after.

"And let you miss out on the fun? No! Plus, his regal stickness was so bored out of his mind that I wanted to do something nice for him and let him bark at you and you at him. It's a really great stress reliever." Sango mused, watching as her friend gathered the few remaining papers into her arms.

Walking shoulder to shoulder out of the room, the two small women began to talk once more.

"And? What did the strict Sesshomaru-sama want?" inquired the curious Sango, looking straight at her friends face as she frowned.

"Besides getting that stick out of his ass? Maybe getting a new heart!" her not so amusing tone made Sango laugh to tears.

"Wh...You're so mean, Kagome!" laughed the brunette, holding her stomach as her sister grinned wildly.

"Well he disserves it! Acting all high and mighty as if he is the king of something... He also needs a good beating! Though I would prefer one with handcuffs and leather suits..." giggled the priestess.

At this point, her friend was laughing so hard that she could barely stand, the thought of the stoic inu in leather making her stomach hurt from laughter. There was something very wrong with him in an attire like that. But, he was way too strict and somewhat evil not to make fun of him from time to time.

"Wo...Wonder who pushed the carrot so far up his anus..." Sango managed to say when her laugh died down.

"Don't know, but he likes it there, 'cause he doesn't seem to want to get it out!" now it was Kagome's turn to laugh, though this had nothing to do with an image or the thought itself.

She just wanted to laugh, though that laughter didn't come from the heart. When she reached her office door, the one she found inside made her jokes die a miserable death. Sitting on her couch with his legs crossed, a very angry and annoyed looking taiyoukai was staring back at her, his golden orbs smothering with what seemed to be the most intense gaze she had ever seen on a man.

"You like making fun of this Sesshomaru, onna!" this was a statement, not a question, but Kagome took it the way she wanted to take it and retorted, as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Not my fault that you are so... such a jerk when I did nothing to provoke you! When you will learn to not look down on anyone, I will learn to show you a little more respect!" she concluded, her eyes turning into slits.

A growl, deep and feral, made it's way to her ears, her boiling blood turning to ice the next instant. Before she could react, a clawed hand, big and strong, had encircled it's digits around her neck, hoisting her off the ground and pulling her closer to face her adversary.

"You dare make demands, you insolent girl? Then this Sesshomaru will have to teach you some manners after all!" he growled the last part, his own eyes flaring with determination and what seemed like hatred.

Coughing, unable to breath, but not scare of his attack to her person, Kagome erected a pink barrier, making the dai drop her and take few steps back due to sheer pain. When their eyes met, Kagome's swimming in tears as she massaged her bruised neck, she could clearly see the anger in his.

'So this guy has a heart... I be damned!' her mind whispered, as she got up from the ground, shielding Sango in the process, though she hadn't realized that the girl was still there.

"You shall take some lessons on controlling that power, temper and mouth from this Sesshomaru. There will be no disobedience!" he said, as a matter of fact, ending their dispute way too abrupt, leaving a flabbergasted Kagome in his tracks.

Now that was plain weird and she had nothing else to say. Opening and closing her mouth, her brain trying to cope with all that just happened, Kagome found herself staring holes in the back of his head as if something might pop out of it at any second. As she was about to turn to Sango to ask her what happened, her phone rang. Turning her attention to the device that made a piercing sound that hurt her ears, Kagome answered after the third ring.

"Kagome? I have some important news!" her mother's voice chirped on the other line, snapping her daughter out of her state.

Blinking wildly so she could pay attention, the miko mumbled a 'what'.

"Well, it seems like your teacher has found a very nice youkai to help you with your training, though she doesn't really want to tell me why or who. Look, I will let you speak to her!" her mother finished, the rustle and voices on the other side making the young girl's blood stop in its place.

"Are you still there, child?" the raspy voice of her old teacher made her mind start again as she answered with a hum.

"Glad to hear that you are still in one piece! I have talked to the only youkai I could think of helping you with your little problem and he said that it's OK..." the baa-chan said, sounding proud of herself.

"May I ask who you called?" the tiny voice barely reached the other end, Kagome finding herself in the weirdest position ever.

"It's Shinosamu Tashio, the head of the Tashio family. Though his eldest son has the power now, he told me that only a dai could help you tame the rapid increase of reiki in your body. So I asked if he could do something!" the woman continued.

"And what did he reply?" breathed Kagome, covering her eyes with her palm, fearing the answer but knowing it anyway.

"He said that he will talk to his son about this, though I don't know if they had already or not..." .

Kagome's heart sank at the news as her whole body seem to be engulfed in despair. What could she do now? She didn't want to see Inuyasha at all and now was forced not only too meet him more often than it was necessary, but she had do deal with his maniac of an elder brother too. She was doomed. Forget about her death: she will die earlier do to her future sensei and she knew it.

"Are you still there, my child? Do not worry over the fact that they are youkai with greater power than all us mikos in one place. You just focus on learning what you can to save your life! He will help you because his honor dictates so!" the grandma continued, making the brunette's stomach churn even worse.

Mumbling something that sounded like a thanks, the young priestess hang up and all but fell on the couch, all wide eye and mouth agape. Strangled, pitiful sounds escaped her lips, like a cry for help. But no one came, not even Sango, who, if she knew her, was at her desk, talking to her long time friend and possible husband Miroku about what just happened to her sister.

But what about her? The dai wasn't just deadly gorgeous but deadly lethal too. Would she be able to do anything that he would order for her to do? Plus, she didn't like to be ordered around! What was she going to do? Oh, kamis above, please give her a sign!

'Nothing... why, oh why did I expect them to hear me?' she wailed in her mind, hiding her face with her palms.

There was nothing else to do right now but fallow the stoic demon around in hopes that he could help her. But who knew what the future would end up like? She for one, didn't even dare to think about that.

'And this morning men were my worst problem... Oh karma how you like to change and snick up on people!' she mused angrily.
