Inuyasha was sitting in his large apartment, listening to the morning news. He took a zip of his coffee while writing notes about the state of the market. He was interrupted when his private cell phone rang. He looked at the caller's ID before picking it up.

"What do you want, brother?" He asked coldly.

"Inuyasha, I need you to go to the airport within an hour."

"Why?" the young man asked, his voice not showing any emotion. Sesshumaru took a deep breath.

"Some important clients are arriving from Europe and we need you to be there to receive them. It is appropriate for the company's name. And in addition, it will expose our hospitality's skills."

Inuyasha remained silent for a few minutes before speaking with his usual cold and monotone voice.

"I'll go, but you owe me a great deal. I know that you want to send me because you need me. I bet that they requested my presence."

"Don't be arrogant!" Sesshumaru snapped at him. "Sometimes, I think that you are becoming a selfish monster little brother."

Inuyasha's lips quivered in a smile.

"It was nice to talk to you." He responded before hanging up. No words were able to get through his defense. A selfish monster. He smiled again. He could live with such an insult.

Kagome was sitting in the airport. She had her blond hair up; she was wearing a yellow strapless dress that reached the middle of her thighs, golden high hells shoes, and a white purse. Her makeup was neither heavy nor light. She had put some mascara and a rouge lip stick that put her lips into view.

She took her cell phone from her purse and dialed a number. She got up from her seat and paced the huge and crowded reception hall, waiting for the reply that soon came.

"Hello?"

"Naraku, it's me, Mercedes."

"Hey, how are you sweetheart?" He finally asked, and she heard him yawning.

"Are you tired?" she asked, a little bit worried. He chuckled, noticing her uneasiness.

"No I am not. So, tell me, what's the reason of your call?"

Kagome smiled widely.

"Well, guess where I am!"

"Where?" he asked, his voice as nonchalant as ever, showing that he was not in the mood for playing.

"Come on, don't be such a tease!" she whined.

She was too absorbed by the conversation that she didn't notice the step just on her left until she tripped on it and lost her balance. She yelped and closed her eyes, waiting for the certain impact but all she heard was the voice of Naraku calling her name through the cell phone then the sound of her cell phone shattering into pieces after hitting the ground and finally she noticed the weight that was supporting her.

Inuyasha was in the airport before the hour was totally elapsed. His clients were late as he expected so he decided to wait for them. He was pacing the airport's reception hall, patiently looking forward to getting out of the place. People were looking at him, probably wondering about the dark glasses he was wearing in such a closed area. He ignored them and made his own way between the crowd, trying to find a relaxing and less noisy spot when he saw a girl in a yellow outfit talking excitedly on the cell phone. He immediately noticed that she was not paying attention to the step and rushed to her side.

As he expected, she tripped but he was able to capture her before she could damage herself with those expensive shoes she was wearing.

The girl, shaking lightly, seemed to realize what happened since she detached herself from his hold and eyed the shattered pieces of what was her cell phone. She suddenly looked at him and instead of thanking him she yelled in frustration.

"Espèce d'imbécile! What kind of idiots are you? You just shattered my precious cell phone!"

Inuyasha looked at the girl, surprised by her sudden outburst.

"I am sorry miss, I did not…"

"Shut up!" Kagome yelled again, more loudly. "Why didn't you look where you were going? You imbecile! You made me lose my balance! Do you have any idea how much this cell phone cost me?"

Inuyasha frowned under his glasses. This snob girl was getting on his nerves.

"You don't understand…" he started but she didn't even let him continue.

"I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses! You will pay for my cell phone! I will not tolerate such things happening to me!"

"Fine, I'll pay!" Inuyasha exclaimed but the girl was not seeing the end of this.

"Do you know how important that conversation was to me and you simply decided to bump into me and shatter my only way of communication! You, you…"

In her frustration, she raised her hand and tried to slap him hard on the face but he was able to catch her hand before she could reach him. For the first time, he stared directly at her face and he felt his heart skip several beats. Her eyes, she had such blue eyes.

He continued to stare at those eyes, feeling time stop around them. How long did he dream of those eyes, how much he fantasized about her looking lovingly at him, her oceans meeting his golden shores?

Kagome felt him stare at her under those dark glasses he wore and she felt heat rush in her body. She could not explain it but his touch was paralyzing her. She could not move, she could not speak, and she was only able to look at him without even seeing his eyes. He was different from the other guys she had been with, he was manlier and something about him made her feel strange.

She finally came back from her shock. He was a complete stranger and she was Mercedes. She could have the world under her legs.

"Let go of my hand!" she simply stated and Inuyasha released his hold immediately as if he was burned. He took a few steps back under her blue gaze. This was not her, this was her opposite but her eyes, and they sent fire in his cold heart, warmth in his thoughts and hope in his darkness.

"You tripped on the step." He mumbled after a stretching silence between both. Kagome did not understand at first but when he motioned at the step her eyes grew wild from comprehension.

"Oh." She simply said, slightly ashamed, but she would not show it. She had to be on the level of Naraku's expectations. Silence returned again. Inuyasha looked at her again. She looked rich, and she wore cloths like the European style. He also heard her speak French so he just assumed…

"Give me your cell phone."

"What?" he asked, shocked by her command.

"I said, give me your cell phone. You shattered mine and it was my only way of communication. Give me yours, assuming you have one." She replied smugly. He clenched his teeth. She was more arrogant than he thought, treating him with disrespect but he complied. He handed his private cell phone to her and she snatched it violently.

"That's better." She said before walking past him. He remained still as she moved further into the crowd. At the moment he snapped and turned to see where she was, she had already disappeared. He looked at his hands.

'She may not be the one I love, but her eyes briefly brought a part of me back to life.'

He suddenly frowned.

'I will not see her again and that is better. I shall have no weakness, no distraction. She's a shadow, a false sophisticated copy of her.'

Kagome ran to the nearest lady's room she could find. She entered it and closed the door behind her, leaning weakly on it.

'Breath' she mutely ordered herself. 'You're strong, breath'.

She felt herself become calmer by the second. The pounding of her heart stopped and the shakiness of her legs ceased. She put her hand on her head, testing her temperature. She did not have any fever.

"God, why was I running? Who was I running from?"

She closed her eyes for a second before pulling her cell phone. She dialed the same number.

"Naraku, come get me. I am in the airport."

Chris was lying on the rumpled bed sheets, his breaths coming in heavy pants.

"That was great…" he finally said. Kagura looked at him, grinning widely. She was relaxing on top of him, panting as well.

"Really? Does it mean that you are too tired to continue?"

She yelped when he rolled them over so that she was under him. He started to suck on her neck, leaving visible marks. She moaned under him.

"Chris…"

He responded by sucking harder making her grasp. He finally released her and started unbuttoning her blouse. She smiled at him as he continued to kiss every inch of exposed skin, leaving little nibbles. When he finally reached the last button he stopped and removed his own shirt then kicked his pants out.

"Chris, what are you doing…I am really tired…I…Um…" she gasped when he removed her pants and joined with her.

"Oh Chris!" she cried. He smirked, panting lightly.

"Yes?" he answered as she tried to hold on the bed sheets.

"Not…um…now…"

"When?" he asked forcefully.

"I…Ah!...please!"

He smiled, seeing her resistance disappear.

When he finally collapsed on her, sated from her body, she whimpered under him. He understood and rolled off of her.

"Don't do that again." She said.

"Do what?"

"Take me without my consent."

He felt anger rise inside of him.

"You're thinking of Sesshumaru aren't you?"

She didn't respond, looking at the ceiling above them. Chris snatched her by the arm, forcing her to face him.

"Were you thinking of him?"

"Yes!" she replied harshly. "I cannot help it. I love him."

Chris suddenly smiled.

"Perhaps, but your body belongs to me. You will please me all night."

She was about to respond when he got on top of her. She obediently wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Yes, I want you all obedient with me, do you get it?"

She nodded her head as he captured her lips with a searing kiss that she returned passionately. He pressed himself closer to her making her groan. When the kiss ended she murmured in his ear.

"You know that I do not love you, nor do I desire you."

"Oh my dear Kagura, why would I care?" he asked as he initiated their love making again making her moan uncontrollably.

"When I can…have you…whenever I want…"

"Chris!" she cried in pleasure.

He kissed her again more forcefully.
