Chapter 5
4 days later…
Kagome walks into the living room and places her bag next to the other ones near the door. "There, all done. Now I'm ready to go on this stupid trip with my stupid boss." She signs and goes to sit on the couch. She turns on the TV.
She turns to lifetime and watches a movie that is premiering called Not Easily Broken. Half way through the movie her house phone rings off. She gets up and goes to the table next to the sofa.
"Hello Higurashi speaking."
"Mrs. Higurashi, this is sesshomaru."
"Sesshomaru?" she takes a seat on the arm of the sofa with a confusion look on her face. "How are you?"
"I am quite well. I have something to discuss with you."
'Oh no. What could this be about? I hope he's not going to fire me or anything like that.' "Sure go ahead. Is there a problem?" she hears him chuckle through the phone.
"No, no problem at all. I just wanted to talk to you about the business trip you and my brother are going on. If it's ok?"
'Oh that's a relief. I thought for a minute there I was a goner. I thought it was bye-bye Taisho Business Corp for me.' She lets out the breath she had been holding.
"Yea that's fine. What would you like to know?" she says looking at TV and seeing that the movie had gone too commercial. She focuses her attention back to the conversation her and sesshomaru are having seeing how she missed the first half of what he was saying.
"…So I was wondering if I could come over to discuss this issue?"
Kagome blinks, confused at what he had just said. Things that really were not that interesting ever really caught her attention. Sesshomaru, with his uninteresting voice, always makes her mind wonder off to something else.
"Uhhh…."
"I shall take your quietness as a yes. I will be over to your home in a few minutes to bah bah bah bah bah bah bah." Kagome mind started to blank out again.
'What were we talking about again? Something about my home…I really need to go to the mall. I wonder if sango would like to go.'
"Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah…"
'Wasn't I doing something?…oh yea I was on the phone with sesshomaru. He was saying something about the trip and coming over to talk about it…wait a minute!'
"Coming Over?" sesshomaru stops what he was saying and answers her question.
"Yes Mrs. Higurashi I'm coming over to discuss the trip. I'm just a few blocks up from your home." He hears kagome lets out a nervous laugh, and then he wonders if kagome was listening to anything that he was saying.
"I'll… uhhh see you when you get here." Kagome hangs up the phone and looks around the house. "This place is a mess!" indeed it was. Clothes were everywhere not to mention the dirty dishes and there were also covers from her sleeping in the living room from time to time.
She starts to clean as fast as she can. The boss of her boss was coming over and the place needed to be spotless, well at least the living room.
Sesshomaru pulls into a parking spot in front of kagome's apartment. He thought she would have kept the house she was living in when Hojo was alive but he was wrong. He steps out of the car and closes the door.
He walks up the door numbered 53 that he had written down when he search for where she lived when he was at work. He knocks on the door. He hears a glass fall and a "darn it!" reach his ears.
'She must have been trying to clean up.' He chuckles lightly.
"Coming!"
He hears footsteps come towards the door and it opens to reveal a panting kagome.
"Sesshomaru welcome! Come on in." she smiles at him and pulls the door open wider to let him in. He steps insides and sees that the place is pretty clean.
"Quite a place you have here."
"Thanks. Go on and take a seat. Do you want anything to drink? Tea, coffee…"
"Tea will be fine." He says while taking a seat. She goes into the kitchen to get the tea. Once she comes back in she hands a cup to sesshomaru.
"Thank you." He takes a swallow and sits the cup down on the coffee table. He looks over at kagome who is sitting across from him.
"So what is it you want to talk about?" she asks also placing her cup on the table. She watches as sesshomaru as he begins to speak.
"I want to say that I thank you for going on this trip with my idiot of a brother of mine, but that's not what I came here for."
"Why are you here sir?"
"Well it's about the client that you're going to be staying with. I know that my brother may have forgotten to tell you this information before you decided to go. You will be staying with Naraku Kumo."
Kagome shivered. 'There comes that name again.'
Sesshomaru saw her shiver. 'Interesting.' "I take it that you have come across the name?"
"Yea. I was the one who did his paperwork. His name just gives me the shivers."
"Well this is good news then. You should know a few things about him or enough to do some business on this trip." He takes a sip of his tea.
"Business?" she waves her hands out in front of her. "Oh no, no, no, no. I was never told that I was going to be doing business. I thought that was inuyasha doing and I was just there to be there."
"Well, what you saying are true but I feel that inuyasha will find some way to mess this up. I just need you to supervise him in the decision that he's going to make. You think you can do that for me?"
Kagome sighs and nods her head. "Yes I can." She looks up to sees sesshomaru nod his head also and places his cup on the table.
"There's also one more thing. Naraku can be a sneaky person to be around-"
"I knew he creep me out for a reason." She sees sesshomaru glare for her interruptions. She could see his "aura", as her grandpa call it, roll off him with a hint of anger. "Oh…sorry continue."
He pulls his eyes from hers. "As I was saying, when Naraku wants something, he won't stop at nothing to get it. He would probably try to use you to change inuyasha mind about a decision."
"I doubt that would happen."
"Oh he can be very persuasive. That's why I say now to stay away from him as much as possible unless necessary." He stands up and heads for the door.
"Wait, wait, and wait! You sending me to this guy's, place to be caught in the middle of some scandal that he might try to pull off?"
He turns around when he gets to the door to her. "No I'm sending you down there to make sure that inuyasha go through with dismissing the client. But inuyasha is also down there to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"You mean like some kind of trouble?"
"Let's just hope that it will not come down to that."
"What if I chose not to go?" she asks her arms cross.
"Well that would be something you have to discuss with inuyasha, but I think that he has already told you what will happen if you don't go." he opens the door. "Good night Mrs. Higurashi." He walks out the door.
She stares at the door for a while thinking on what was just discuss, her arms across her chest. 'If something serious goes on while I'm at this Naraku guy place, I'm gonna take my revenge out on both of the Taisho brothers.'
