I don't own Inuyasha~

A plan

It's been almost a week since Tsubaki showed up in Tokyo and was 'forced' to stay with Kagome. Something about the girl not feeling right about letting her stay in a hotel. Though Tsubaki was beginning to think it was because she wanted to keep asking her what she thought about Sesshomaru. At first, she thought it was because Kagome was wanting to dump Inuyasha to be with his half-brother. Til the other day when Kagome asked her if she had a thing for him. Tsubaki never thought about it, being more worried about overstaying her welcome there. She knew deep down that something was going to happen and soon. Either it would be that the clan has found her again or Sesshomaru finds out what it is she's been hiding. She wasn't concerned about Sesshomaru till she realized that he was purposefully trying to lead the group's conversation to why Tsubaki stopped writing Kagome or why she was suddenly in Japan. When she deflected the subject, the others thought it was something she didn't want to discuss to people she barely knew.

Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru could faintly smell something odd about her scent when he got the others to question her. He couldn't quite put his finger on what the smell was, which made him more curious about the girl. Who was she really, to be able to almost fully conceal her aura from him. Almost. Why would the girl even need to hide? To him, she didn't seem like the type of girl to get caught up in illegal things. So who or what was she hiding from? He was so caught up in the ever growing unanswered questions about Tsubaki than it was beginning to aggravate him. It was keeping him from focusing on his business. Having his sire hounding him for documents that are very important for an upcoming meeting was headache enough. Now he was finding himself thinking about a girl that didn't concern him, thanks to his beast constantly popping images of her into his mind. After spending five hours of getting nothing accomplished, he thought for a moment how he could see Tsubaki without raising suspicion. Leaning back in his chair then sighing, he sent a text to Inuyasha,Kagome, Miroku, and Sango. Seconds after pressing send, his phone vibrated, the miko was the first to reply.

"I can bring Tsubaki, right?"

Glancing at the message another moment before simply texting back, "Hn." The girl was the reason he invited them to his home that night. He needed answers to his questions to silence his beast. Though he would soon find out that his beast had no intention of letting the girl escape through his claws just because the pup didn't want to see to reason.

Tsubaki was in Kagome's kitchen, looking out the window as she took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee that she made for herself and Kagome. That is, if Kagome would ever wake up. Of course Tsubaki was almost always an early riser. The reason was lost on Kagome since Tsubaki neglected to inform her that it was because she was constantly ready to make a run for it.

"Tsubaki! How do you always wake up before me? How am I supposed to surprise you with breakfast?" Kagome pouted as she made her way into the kitchen.
All Tsubaki could do was smile and shrug her shoulders. "Guess you're just not cool enough to wake up before me." She joked, laughing when Kagome playfully smack her with a long sleeve shirt she hadn't put on over her spaghetti strapped shirt. Before they could continue, Kagome's phone went off which made her swat Tsubaki away so she could get it since she thought it was Inuyasha. Tsubaki tilted her head to the side when she saw a look of confusion then a hint of mischief on her face but before she could ask what was wrong.

"You don't have anything you wanna do today, do you?" She asked with her bottom lip pushed out and her hands clasped together in plea.

'What does she have plan?' She thought with her eyebrows pushed together in suspicion, "I don't think so, why?"

"Sesshomaru just invited all of us over and I already told him we were going." She tried to say as fast as she could in a sad attempt to confuse her.
"This again? Kagome! Yes, I said the guy was quite attractive. But I already told you! I am not interesting in a relationship right now." She groaned. Tsubaki knew the girl meant well but how can she possibly think about a relationship when she's being hunted. She shouldn't have even stayed as long as she already has. For all she knew the clan could have already found her which would make Kagome and her friends a target.
"Please! It could be a lot of fun!" She begged before smiling brightly and practically jumped around like a little girl on Christmas when Tsubaki reluctantly nodded.

"This doesn't mean anything! Kagome! Are you even listening?! Kagome! No funny business! I mean it!" She yelled as the girl happily ran upstairs to get ready, pretending not to hear a word Tsubaki said.

Now that his plans to see Tsubaki were secured, his beast calmed and was finally able to get some work done. Starting with the blasted documents that his sire needed. Once the most important paperwork, that couldn't be delayed, was taken care of he left his office in a hurry before anyone could stop him with more paperwork. Finally home, he instructed his servants on what to prepare for his guests then they were dismissed for the night. As the time ticked by, his beast was becoming anxious about seeing Tsubaki again and so was he even though he would never admit it. Miroku and Inuyasha were the first to show up. Before anyone could say anything, Inuyasha made a beeline to the kitchen were a variety of snacks and drinks were sitting on the counter. Miroku on the other hand stopped to greet the yokai. "Good evening, Sesshomaru. Sango can't make it sadly, she had to work. Ah, am I to assume Tsubaki will be joining us? Since you are wearing your concealment ring." The monk poked fun while raising an eyebrow. Though he would never say it out loud to the yokai, he has noticed a difference in the yokai's aura since Kagome's pen-pal friend arrive a week ago. They've all only gotten together two times for a short period of time because of everyone having to work.

"Monk." Though his voice was soft and calm Miroku could hear the warning all to clearly.

"Keh get the stick outta your ass, ice prick. We know you only invited us over to see that chick." Inuyasha said while shoving a hand full of chips into his mouth. Which made the yokai to narrow his eyes in warning to his half-brother, who just ignored him. Only serving to anger Sesshomaru more. "You've only invited us over a handful of times which wasn't even to hand out. Workaholic ass."

'The whelp is right for once.' His beast added in an amused tone.

Ignoring his beast, Sesshomaru stared at the two ningens as he tried to rationalize his reasons for wanting to see the mysterious female ningen. What reason did he have for wanting to see the female?

To figure out what she was hiding? Perhaps but the girl was visiting, whatever problems she was having were none of his concern.

To figure out what she was since she was able to almost completely conceal herself from his senses? Yes, because a mere ningen shouldn't and wouldn't be able to hide themselves so well from a powerful yokai like him.

Sesshomaru was pulled from his thoughts when the monk spoke up, "Tsubaki seems to be really close to Kagome. You guys don't think she knows about yokai? If she does, why wear the enchanted rings?"

"Keh like I want that woman knowin' what look like." Inuyasha said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Suit yourself. Though I'm still curious to see if she has knowledge about yokai." Miroku voiced Sesshomaru's thoughts. The yokai and his beast both wished to know as well.

"Then we shall find out tonight." Sesshomaru declared with confidence. which took his half-brother by surprise but not Miroku. He knew that the yokai wished to know more about Kagome's friend. Before the girls finally showed up, the males were trying to figure out a sufficient way to find out what Tsubaki knew.

Is Kagome trying to set Tsubaki up with Sesshomaru? But why? Like she didn't have enough on her plate already.

Ohhhh! Sesshomaru seems rather determined! Think he'll get more than he bargained for?
