They pulled up to another big building, she knew who lived here, unlike Sesshomaru, Naraku liked to flaunt stuff.
She shivered and not from the cold "He gives me the creeps"
"Indeed"
"Then why do you work with him?" She looked out her window, afraid to look at him,
"Have you ever heard to keep your friends close but your enemies closer?"
She did look at him "Yes, is that what he is?"
"That is for me to know miko"
"Not that it matters I am sure he knows, he seems to always know everything"
"That will be his mistake miko"
The car stopped "I really don't need to go in" She stated,
"Afraid miko"
"No" She snapped,
Sesshomaru found himself followed.
The butler let them in and showed them to the study. Sesshomaru carried a file in his hand. The room was red, with velvet seats and a big fire going "He still stuck in the times right" Kagome noted, Sesshomaru could not blamer her, this room sucked ass.
"So late, and I see your brought a date"
Kagome turned to see Naraku, standing only in black silk pants, no shirt, wet hair. For a asshole he had a nice six pack, she slightly blushed, she had to stop reading dirty books.
"I'm not a date"
Naraku smiled "I'm sure"
Sesshomaru held out a file which Sesshomaru took "Bored as ever Sesshomaru?"
Naraku went to the liquor table and poured a small amount of brandy "Drinks?"
Sesshomaru walked over and grabbed the glass,
"Kagome?" He offered "I also have wine"
Damnit, drink with two men?
"Perhaps a deep red dessert wine?"
"Um, sure"
Naraku poured and handed it to her, she sat down on the red sofa and sipped it "Its very good"
"Roscoto" He stated,
Naraku sat behind his large oak desk "It could have waiting" He told Sesshomaru who had already drank his brandy,
"I don't like loose ends"
"Well enough, the money was transferred"
"Don't mind me, I have no idea what you are talking about"
Naraku smirked "Sesshomaru is trying to buy me out so he does no have to deal with me anymore by buttering me up, he sold me his white wine winery"
Sesshomaru didn't looked amused and Kagome looked shocked.
"He wants all the red to himself"
"I want my business to myself" Sesshomaru stated,
"He hates working with people, he is not a people person" Naraku stated looking at Kagome,
"Wont that put you against each other" Kagome asked,
"Indeed" Naraku answered, "The way things should be between demons"
"Half" Sesshomaru corrected.
"But didn't yalls fathers want yall to work together"
"Our fathers are boring and these is no sport in that" Naraku sat back,
"Wont yall both lose money?"
Naraku looked at Sesshomaru,
"Woman, I alone have enough momey to buy this whole city 10 times over"
She felt faint,
"We may like finer things girl, but our sports is not about money"
"Right right, it's who has the bigger stick" She finished her wine,
"Bigger stick, who gets the girl, who owns more, who is stronger" Naraku added,
"So fight it out" She stood,
"Oh we are" He said "Times are different, being evil does not have the same meaning, there is really nothing I can do to him, or him to me at this age in time, its all about property"
It was crazy to think about, at one time these two men, could kill a millions of people, burn citys to the grown, fight in hand to hand combat with each other, take each others land, and now, it was about who own more, who had the bigger building and the right girl?
"You two are getting old"
"Very, and it is past this old man bed time" He pointed to Sesshomaru, who didn't at all look amused.
"We should go" Kagome stated "The weather is getting very bad"
Sesshomaru nodded and Naraku showed them out, maybe he was not as bad as he used to be? She really didn't care to find out.
Sesshomaru let her in first and then got in "Talkative miko"
"Must have been the wine"
"You liked it"
"The wine, yes, very much"
"It is mine now"
"So I should it get some in my stocking then?"
"Its only for naughty girls" He looked out his widow,
"Then I should get two" She played back, she had never seen this side of him, but then again, she had not seen much of him. He was silent, a lot.
The snow was getting harder to drive in "I hope we don't get stuck" She stated,
But it looked like they were,
"Do not go back to the city" He told the driver,
"Um, I live there?"
"We will not make it"
"To the lake house sir?"
"Yes"
"Lake house?"
"It is closer"
"Wait, I'm going to spend the night with you?"
"You can sleep in the limo if you wish"
She sat back and chewed on her lip.
