Hello People. I was so thrilled with my reviews and to see that everyone is still reading my story it made me so happy and I wrote like five chapters in two days. Well here's chapter 18.
I'm sorry to say I'm going out of town June 27-July 15 so I won't be able to update. I'm going to try and update Ch. 19 before I leave but I can make no promises but within a week of returning I promise to update.
Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha would I really be writing be writing fanfiction?
Ch. 18 Board Meetings
She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard his deep voice, "Rise and shine Sango." Groaning she rolled over before it hit her, 'deep voice.' Lifting her head she awoke to come face to face with impatient golden orbs. Clearing her eyes she glanced around the room that was definitely not her own and gasped as Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her from the bed.
Looking down at her wrinkled attire from the night before she shot him an accusing glare, "Before you even start your nagging woman I brought you back to my estate last night after dinner at my aunts. You fell asleep and instead of having to drive you all the way back to the city and not wanting to wake you I bought you here," he said pointing around.
Not knowing ready to thank or slap him Sango began to look around for her shoes which she finally found inside a closet where numerous suites and ties hung. It then dawned on her as she whipped around to face him,
"This is your room, why am I in here?" She heard him growl softly before he said, "God damnit woman can you stop questioning everything, Look get dressed I had John bring some of your things from your apartment."
Before she could ask how he and John had gotten into her apartment to retrieve her clothing he continued, 'Meet me down for breakfast in thirty minutes.. and Sango," she turned to him a scowl on her face, "don't be late, I'm sure you remember I don't like tardiness."
By the time he'd exited the room she'd said a thousand curse words in her mind. Gathering her bag of things John had packed from the floor she stood upright and glanced around the room. It was all masculine in it's designs and architecture and consisted of mostly dark grays, browns, and blue hues. All in all it was a wonderful professional job done and she found herself admitting Inuyasha had great taste.
Browsing around she finally found the bathroom and had to gasp at how exquisite it was. Marble sinks, showers, and the tub, 'it was magnificent,' she thought expelling a breath. Made of marble and gold trimmings it had to be the hugest bathtub she had ever seen. It was at least the size of an average outdoor pool and was definitely fit for a king. Deciding she didn't want to take any liberties Sango quickly opted fro the shower and dressed quickly.
Or at least she tried to get dressed but her jeans were too snug and shirt too tight and Sango cursed herself for not going shopping yet. After realizing it was impossible to button her pants Sango finally came up with an idea.
Inuyasha sat at his dining table as he recalled the last time he'd sat at this table with Sango apologizing to her but then his thoughts went to what had followed next when she'd poured syrup over Kikyou and insulted him before she'd run out screaming he didn't own her. He now found it more than ironic that she was tied to him forever through this child and about to be tied to him temporarily through their marriage.
His ears picked up on her approach and he put down the newspaper he was holding to glance up and was shocked to say the least. Instead of wearing one of the shirts John had packed she wore one of his navy blue dress shirts. It hung down close to her knees and the jeans she wore were only visible from mid-thigh down. His eyes went back to her stomach as he stared at the swell that stood out against the expensive cotton. He recalled this was the second time she'd worn one of his shirts and for some reason he could feel his pulse quickening slightly.
'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea but she couldn't fit anything else,' Sango thought as she glanced at the white haired man who was staring at her with such an intensity she almost turned and left. The trance seemed to break because he was then motioning for her to sit down. Pulling up a seat Sango felt the need to explain, "I'm wearing your shirt because I've sort of outgrown all of my clothes and I haven't had the time to go shopping."
"It's fine you have access to anything here," he spoke and she swore she could hear some hoarseness in his voice. They ate in silence, well mostly she ate and he seemed to just watch her. Looking up she caught his golden hues focused on her and she did something she'd rarely done in her life, she blushed.
"I'm sorry for seeming so greedy it's just that I usually can't keep anything down or I don't have an appetite but today I'm starved." He nodded, "Yes it's often that way when a demon babe is in the presence of its father." When she looked at him quizzically he continued, "I was explaining it to you yesterday. When a demon child is conceived a strong bond is formed between the pup and its father. My presence holds the ability to calm the babe, reduce your sickness, and assure you a smooth delivery."
Sango sucked in all this information and wondered how Inuyasha knew so much about demon pregnancy. "Inuyasha how do you know so much about youkai births, I mean your only half demon and you said your mother died when you were young.."
He took a sip of his juice before saying, "I've been reading up ever since I first discovered you were pregnant and Kaede has been explaining lots of things to me. Like you've been having so much trouble from this baby and so much morning sickness because the babe had rarely ever felt my presence since you avoided me at work like I had the plague."
Feeling all of a sudden guilty Sango looked up into his eyes, "Inuyasha I'm sorry for not telling you earlier it's just that I thought, I thought.." "That I wouldn't believe you and accuse you of lying right." She nodded but he continued, "Well that was foolish anything could've happened to you and plus I could have smelled if you were telling me the truth or not." Feeling extremely stupid Sango stared at her empty plate.
Seeing he'd made her fell guilty enough for a day Inuyasha stood and pulled out his wallet. Handing Sango several credit cards he said, "Here you said you hadn't the time to shop now here's your opportunity. John is waiting for you downstairs, I have some meetings to attend but you'll meet me for dinner, ok."
"What about work," she asked hoping he hadn't forgot she'd won the right to work the day before. "Well since I'm the boss I guess you have the day off," and she could only nod as he exited. "Hey how much should I spend," she called out. "Get what you want," and then she was left alone.
She met john down at the limo and found herself whisked to stores and boutiques she had only dreamed of shopping in. She bought a couple of pants and shirts, two sweaters, a winter jacket, two dresses, and had splurged on a silk wrap dress. By the time she took a break at a near deli she was all shopped out. Back at the limo she glanced at the clock to find it was only two o' clock, an hour before Inuyasha and the rest of the board members usually had lunch. Now bored she came up with a perfect plan, "Hey John," she called to the driver, "please take me to Tai corps."
"Idiot, asshole, jerk," were the words being thrown around in the boardroom as the men discussed Naraku buying out most of the technological companies in South America. "I say we need to annihilate his ass," Kouga called out banging his fist on the table. Inuyasha resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the wolf's remark. For some reason he couldn't keep his mind on the task at hand it kept straying to that, 'image of Sango in his navy blue shirt,'
"Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Whelp!" Glancing up sharply he turned to find his brother's cold eyes on him, "What bastard," he said impatiently cursing his wandering thoughts. "Your cook is here.' Thinking he was talking about Suka was there to serve lunch Inuyasha cut the arguing short, "Lunch is about to be served," but when the doors swung open it wasn't Suka bringing in the trays of food. Sango came waltzing in cheerily still wearing his shirt and began to serve lunch to each of the men. To his dismay all of the arguments of Naraku were forgotten as each of the men welcomed Sango back.
"Angel eyes you're here again," Sango barely had time to take a breath before she found herself in Kouga's embrace. Pulling away Kouga still held her shoulders as he exclaimed, "We heard about your fall because of that asshole," he said looking over at Inuyasha who looked ready to explode. "Are you ok," Kouga said feeling her arms and waist to her astonishment. "Yes, yes," said trying to fend his hands away from her person. She heard Inuyasha growl out, 'get your dirty hands off her you mangy wolf," as he came to face her and Kouga.
Kouga laughed before saying, "You seem jealous she's only your cook you have no claim on her," Sango heard a deep chuckle from behind her and turned to see Sesshomaru standing before he uttered, "Smell again wolf." Sango became mortified as she listened to Kouga sniff her as realization dawned upon him and he looked up at her with huge blue eyes,
"What the hell angel eyes you let mutt face knock you up." A gasp went through the room as all the other demons with the exception of Sesshomaru began to sniff at her. Large gasps went up through the room and Sango wanted to jump in a hole but then decided she wanted to hang herself instead when she heard Inuyasha exclaim, "Now get your hands off my damn wife."
Questions began to go up as Inuyasha exclaimed smugly they were getting married in a week and Sango could swear she could hear Sesshomaru snickering behind her.
Well that's ch. 18, ch. 19 Moving In will be up soon. Thanks for the wonderful reviews, I was so happy, I swear they sometimes inspire me to write an entire chapter!
