Pairing

Summary

: He was a demon and it was natural that he ached to corrupt her purity so completely and thoroughly that she would never be able to flee the darkness and so corrupt her he did.

"For the record, I hate England." Kagome growled out softly, with a delicate yawn slipping passed her lips. Her eyes were filled with a slight injustice as she turned to her companion. Inuyasha arched a brow over his paper as he inhaled deeply. Almost instantly his violet gaze hardened.

Leaning forward as to ensure no unwelcomed listeners were trying straining their ears in the dining area of the hotel, Inuyasha's lip curled in a snarl, "Your bastard shinigami was here?" She had feeling that had he been in his hanyou form, his little ears would have been pinned back in anger. The thought made her smile and almost squeal. His glower increased at her smile, "Why are you smiling?"

"I just had the cutest mental image of you!" she finally confessed and Inuyasha had to resist flushing.

"Kagome! Pay attention! First that damn demon and now Grell?" Inuyasha bit into his toast angrily as he grumbled.

Kagome sighed and rolled her gaze upward, "Inuyasha – Grell was technically first."

"Not the point." He grunted as he began to stand and brush off his fingers, tossing his paper into a chair. "I have a meeting with the kid in half an hour. Stay out of trouble. I know you've been cooped in this damn hotel for longer than you would like so I put a purse at the foot of your bed so you could go shoppin' or something."

Kagome immediately brightened and clapped her hands in front of her in excitement, "Oh really? Thanks Inuyasha!" she stood happily and crossed the distance between them, arms going around his neck as she jumped for joy in small spurts. "Awww – you're the best a girl a could ask for!" And just to see him flush, she pressed a large kiss to his cheek and leaped off with a backwards call of, "Have a nice meeting!"

Inuyasha's cheeks burned red and he wanted to wring her pretty little neck as the men and women around him chuckled and giggled to themselves at the display.

She moved from to stall to stall, store to store, her cerulean eyes taking in the different little vendor items and trinkets. She did enjoy shopping – it was a girl thing, she was sure, and it had nothing to do with her being from the future. Sesshoumaru spoiled her, Inuyasha spoiled her, Shippo spoiled her, and Kouga liked to throw in and spoil her too. It was something they could simply not resist and Kagome was all too happily to oblige. The miko carried several bags in her hands, having already shopped at several stores and gathered multiple items to bring back home. Shippo would be excited for the candy she purchased from Funtom whom currently had no holdings in Japan.

Humming slightly she continued onward and gave a light scream as she was gripped and dragged into a darkened alley way. Looking upward angrily as a familiar black formal clad form, she practically stomped her foot. She was immediately released as the demon looked down at her from glowing crimson orbs.

"What the hell, Sebastian? Honestly – it was very rude what you just did and you scared the life from me!" she hissed. The butler gave her a slow smile as he took a step back rather than a step forward like she thought he would. She gave him a look laced with suspicion and he shrugged his broad shoulders at her. "What do you want?"

"I heard the reaper visited you. I wasn't aware you two were acquainted." He finally stated after a moment or two of silence.

Kagome arched an ebony brow, "Of course you wouldn't know. You have known me for several days and each time we have met you have stopped at nothing to get into my pants. Rude, by the way, very rude. Do you even know my name?"

Sebastian would have snorted had it been his nature, "Honestly – what sort of fool do you take me for?"

"A large one."

That said Kagome turned and began to leave the alley way. Sebastian's hand on her wrist stopped her and she turned to him with pursed lips and flashing eyes, "Is that what it takes then?" he inquired lightly.

"Pardon?"

"Getting to know you? Is that what will make you give in? I don't relish in taking what I want." He responded with a light frown.

"I don't want to give in!" she huffed as she pulled away from him and left the alley way leaving a perplexed demon. A moment or so later Grell appeared beside the slightly taller man.

"Do you see, darling Sebby?" Grell inquired, voice low rather than his usual high pitched tone. "We stand a better chance together than apart."

Crimson hues glanced surreptitiously at the reaper and he finally gave a slow nod, "Agreed."

Grell's femine squeal practically deafened him.

"We'll be one big happy threesome!" the shinigami leaped at the other man, attempting to pull him into a hug, but the demon effectively side stepped him with a sigh. Grell huffed lightly, "Threesome means you and me too."

"I just want the miko - you are an unfortunate addition."

As quickly as he appeared, Grell was gone with a sigh and Sebastian remained rooted to the spot, eyes staring at the place the miko had vacated.
