The Fireworks
Sesshomaru popped his back as the day came to a slow finish, it was finally the weekend, and Kagome had her 2 week break from school, it was October, and he had planned to spend a lot of time with her.
" Sesshomaru!" InuTaisho came into the office a grin on his face.
Sesshomaru sighed and looked at the clock on the wall, "Yes, father."
"I just saw the books, you're taking a vacation for 2 weeks?" InuTaisho asked plopping down in a chair infront of Sesshomaru's desk.
"Yeah," Sesshomaru answered and leaned back on his chair this was going to take a while.
"Where are you going for two weeks?" He asked, "And who's going to take over for you?"
"I'm going to be with Kagome and Hiten is going to handle most of the things unless my secretary deems it too important, then he will contact me and I will handle it."
InuTaisho's grin widened, "Am I smelling a grandchild in the air between these 2 weeks?"
Sesshomaru got up and crossed his arm, "I'm going to tell you something and I want you to spread the word to my mother, Kagome is going to finish her education, and only when she is ready will she have a child."
InuTaisho got up and smiled tenderly, "You're deep aren't you?"
Sesshomaru sat down and let out a breath. "Yeah, everything about her makes me feel like I'm going to go crazy, when she finally said that she would be my girlfriend last weekend I was so....I don't know what it was I felt like acting like a girl!"Sesshomaru hissed leaning his head back and closing his eyes.
InuTaisho chuckled and patted his son's head tenderly."That's called happiness Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru looked up at him, "Why do people like feeling like that?"
The older demon shrugged, "It's something that any being with a heart wants, you have to admit, you yourself want to feel like that again."
Sesshomaru nodded, "Yeah, it was kinda nice."
InuTiasho was throughly impressed, his son and him had deep conversations, but for the first time Sesshomaru really was lost and he was looking to his father for real answers and agreeing to them. InuTaisho never knew a woman like Kagome would be capable of such heights, but he had underestimated her and he was glad she was over his expectations.
" Sir." a deep male voice asked through the intercom.
"Hn?" Sesshomaru asked pressing the button.
"Kagome is on line one."
"Put her through."Sesshomaru commanded.
"Sesshy?" Kagome's voice came sounding excited.
Sesshomaru looked at his father and then at the door.
InuTaisho laughed and walked towards it, "2 weeks is all you need?" He asked.
Sesshomaru glared at him but didn't reply which made his father laugh some more then walked out of the room.
"Sesshy are you there?" Kagome called again through the intercom.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"I made dinner and you're not here, that's what! You said you'd be here earlier." Kagome said.
Sesshomaru mentally cursed himself and got up, "I'm on my way."
"You better be!" He could imagine her pouting, "I'll see you when you get here okay?"
" 'Kay, bye Kags."
"Bye Sesshy, love you!"
Sesshomaru smiled and hung the phone up, he slipped into his jacket quickly and then left the room. Much to Sesshomaru's approvement, InuTaisho made his secretary a man who did his work efficiently and quickly. "I'm leaving Jaken, remember 2 weeks."
Jaken stood and bowed, "Yes sir, have a safe vacation."
Sesshomaru nodded, "Don't let Hiten bother you too much." Then he left.

Midnight jumped unto the sofa and started licking himself, his master was coming home and he needed to look perfect, the mistress had just finished with the meal and had changed into a dress he found playful, once his master took it off his bitch, he would have so much fun clawing it up.
This was what Kagome thought Midnight was thinking atleast. Where was that damn billionaire of hers anyways? She sighed and plopped down next to Midnight on the leather sofa then turned the TV on, she felt her jaw drop a bit when she saw Sesshomaru's face planted on the screen. Midnight glanced up once then proceeded to lick himself.
"The results are in Mike." the newswoman spoke."Sesshomaru Takahashi has just been named sexiest man alive for the third consecutive year."
"Now Mary, I don't want to offend or anything, but what does Mr. Takahashi have thaqt makes women go goo goo for him?" Mike, the newsman asked envy printed all over her face.
"You don't know?!" Mary screeched her papers flying everywhere. This didn't seem to catch her attention to warn her that she was still on nationwide T.V. "God! That man is sex on two legs! Everything about him screams out to us females, please fuck me!"
Kagome laughed as Midnight hissed at the TV, "Are you jealous baby?"
Midnight pounced on the control turning off the screen.
Kagome shook her head, "You have a real anger problem, just like Sesshy, you know!"
Midnight chose to ignore her comment and cuddled up to her side purring.
Kagome stroked his head gently and played with the hem of the black cocktail dress she had found while shopping with Sango earlier. The clerk had tried to flirt with her and told her all he wanted to do was rip it off her so he could see the deluctable sweetness underneath, Sango had told her she looked too sexy and that Sesshomaru would probably tear off the damn thing when he saw there was no back. It showed clevage and a lot of leg. On her feet were a pair of red six inch heels.
Her face was lightly made up but nothing too heavy she had even sprayed a little perfume on.
She looked at the door and saw the rose red pedals start drifting away form the perfect path she had set up an hour later. Her eyes shifted to the candle sticks already melted to nothing but wax puddles, the only reason they hadn't gone out was the small string burning to nothing.
She sighed, getting up and heading to the kitchen. The food she had prepared was still sitting on the table, no longer smelling fresh out of the oven, the ice she had put sparkling wine in had turned to water and the candles she had lit in there had put themselves out.
Midnight stepped up to a chair as if saying he would eat the food.
She smiled and gave him a piece of chicken, "Are you going to help me put the things away?"
Midnight then quickly dissapeared into the hall leaving Kagome hanging.
After putting the food in their place, she blew out the remaining candles in the whole apartment then changed into a pair of pajamas.
I know that look you always give me
when I walk besides you
With everything else
Vanishing all around you.
"Hello?" Kagome asked flipping her phone open.
"Kagome?"
The phone almost slipped out of her hand.
"You're still there aren't you?"
Kagome gulped but didn't reply.
"I miss you, please, come back."
Kagome fell to the bed with a thump.
"I can't sleep without you besides me, that's why I moved to the apartment next to you, god you look beautiful in those pajamas."
Kagome's heart thumped fast and she turned her head horrified when dark golden eyes were piercing through her
"Yes Kagome, take in my body."
He was naked! He was NAKED!
She flipped the phone closed and shut the blinds close.
Midnight sped into the room and got infront of her.
Kagome picked up the cat and opened her phone again, quickly dialed Sesshomaru's number.
"Hello?" His voice sounded tired.
"Sessh, please hurry."
"Kagome?"
Kagome felt tears start building in her eyes, "Inuyasha's right next door."
"FUCK! Get away, I need to go."
Kagome screamed when a knock at her window caught her off guard.
"Kagome, please stay calm, I'm on my way there's a a small hiding spot by the wall near the bed, get in there, Mindnight should fit with you."
Kagome turned to the bed's side and saw it quickly she opened the invisible handle and slid in to the large opening.
"It's soundproof," Sesshomaru whispered.
Kagome couldn't hear anything anymore except Sesshomaru's fierce breathing and Midnight's low meows, "Where were you?" She finally asked.
"I'm sorry, a deal came up."
Kagome's tears slid down her face in a path, "Oh."
Through the other side she could hear his breath becoming heavier, "
"Oh look, Sesshy's home."
"You're drunk mutt."
Kagome held the phone closer to her ear.
"Where is Kagome? I wanna take her and make wild love to her."
Kagome jumped when she heard the thump from the wall next to her.
"Don't even go there, get the hell out and I wont do anything to you."
A whine was heard from Inuyasha,
"And put some close on."
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha yelled.
Sesshomaru didn't respond.
"Why are you like this to me, I need your help brother."
Kagome could hear the hesitation in Sesshomaru's voice, but she was too shocked by the next words to even recognize it fully.
"Come here."
Sobs and gasps for air filled the intercom and Kagome could only picture Sesshomaru holding Inuyasha in his arms like a big brother ussually did.
"You're okay mutt, calm down." Sesshomaru growled.
"I'm sorry Sesshy." Inuyasha cried, "I'm a traitor, I should've stayed away from her and left her to you like I had promised. B-but now I'm addicted to her!"
Sesshomaru sighed.
Kagome pushed the hidden passages door open slightly enough to see the scene that was happening by the shattered windows.
Small pieces of broken glass scattered all over the floor and blood stained Inuyasha's fist.
Neither of the brother's noticed her presence.
Just like she had pictured it Inuyasha was weeping in his brother's arm and Sesshomaru was softly patting his back.
"Now, Inuyasha, we already had this talk, I'm going to get you some help, but you have to help yourself too, or else it's not going to work."
Inuyasha nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah, yeah, I want you two to be happy together."
"Okay, then stop drinking yourself half drunk and apologize to Kagome for everything."
Inuyasha nodded again, "Yeah, yeah thanks Sesshy."
Kagome stood up finally making them realize she was in the room.
Inuyasha finally registered he was standing buck naked and grabbed the sheets from the bed.
It was something Kagome didn't ussually see, a self-concious Inuyasha and she had to smile at that.
"How long have you been there?"
Another thing she didn't see a self-concious Sesshomaru.
"A while." Kagome answered.
Silence enveloped the room and Kagome flipped her phone shut.
Midnight, still in Kagome's arm snuggled deeper.
"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha whispered.
Sesshomaru groaned, "Don't touch her inappropriately mutt."
Kagome watched as Sesshomaru walked out of the room after putting a small kiss on Kagome's forhead.
"I'm so sorry Kagome." Inuyasha hissed out falling on the bed, "I must have scared the crap out of you."
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered walking closer to him Midnight still in her arms.
Inuyasha looked up with regretful eyes.
"Stop hurting yourself." She whispered grabbing his bloody hand, "Please."
His dark golden eyes looked up at her and tears sprung out of the corners.
Kagome held in her own sobs, Inuyasha needed her to be strong so he could get better. She put Midnight down and hugged his head to her chest patting his head lightly.
"Why are you so nice?" He asked after moments of only his sobs stabbing the silece.
"Do you know how I was saved from the streets up in the hood?" She asked sitting down next to him.
He wiped his tears and looked at her, she looked out the shattered windows surprised nosy neighbors hadn't called the cops.
"There was this little girl who always would come up to my house and smile at me giving me a piece of chocolate. I was so mean to her." Kagome whispered playing with her shirt, "Then one day she stopped coming." A long pause took over the room enhancing the suspense in Inuyasha's eyes. "I looked for her and found out her father beat her to death." Inuyasha was shocked to say in the least, "Eversince then I've promised myself I was going to be nicer to anyone no matter how annoying or crazy they got, because everybody has their own story you know what I mean."
Inuyasha nodded, "I'm going to try to change I promise."
Kagome smiled.
X Later X
Kagome snuggled deeper into the blankets looking at the fixed window, she couldn't sleep no matter how many ways she had tried.
Sesshomaru was already asleep, they had hardly talked after Inuyasha had left and Sesshomaru fixed the window.
Tears blurred her vision and she got up walking silently out of the room and into the kitchen.
She opened the fridge and took out the cake that was supposed to be desert for their dinner. In icing on the top said 'I love you Sesshy'
She couldn't deny she was dissapointed, but she had known Sesshomaru was a busy man from the day she had met him.
She sliced a piece off and put the rest away.
"What are you doing up?" Sesshomaru's deep voice asked from the door way.
Kagome looked up from the median "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"
The demon looked at the girl, he could sense the down state she was in and felt bad knowing he was the reason.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" he asked sitting on a stool and looking at her.
She shook her head and took a bite out of her cake hoping it was enough of an excuse not to talk.
Sesshomaru looked unsure and grabbed her hands watching as she flinched as he did so.
"Are you still scared?" He asked angry that his brother had got himself drunk enough to the point it scared Kagome.
"Where were you before?" She asked looking at the island's smooth black top.
"I'm sorry Kag's I got caught up with some business deals."
"You completely forgot?" She asked smiling bitterly.
He nodded.
"Happy brithday to me." Kagome whispered getting up and leaving a shocked Sesshomaru behind.
MWA HAHAHA: Yead, I thought I needed a little sober chapter, lol, tell me if you like... kay? =]
