I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters…especially the hawt awesome lady Kagura….T.T Ok I do apologize for not posting last month but my grandpa died on November 30th and then after that I had to do a HUGE project for college. I'm making this chapter short but, for once, there is going to be good character development so enjoy.

XXX Chapter 10XXX

Kagura flew around a bend, nearly smacking into a building as she tried to out run the cops behind her. "Damn it! This is what I get for trying to help some people out," she snarled as she looked at the swarm of cops behind her. If things kept up the way they were going she would end up in jail within the hour.

Suddenly the cars comm. system began to chirp wildly, signifying an incoming call. Kagura quickly hit the accept button and snarled, "What do you want?"

"I was wondering what you're doing Kagura," Sesshoumaru's voice said as the woman continued to avoid the police. "The other two already met up with us. If you were planning on racing after the chase you could've informed me."

"Now is notthe time!" the woman growled as one of the cops smacked her rear end, causing her to swerve on the road. "The cops are still on my ass because I had to save those other two! Now if you don't mind I have to figure out how I'm going to spend my time in jail."

"I would've thought you were more competent than to be pursued by the cops like this," Sesshoumaru said, his tone demeaning and condescending.

"Oh screw you!" the woman snarled as she drifted around another corner, several cop cars trying to do the same only to crash into a nearby sign. "I drew the cops away from those newbies and you have the gull to tell me I suck?! I don't think so!"

"Well then I'll be waiting for you at the safe house. Do try to make it back quickly," the man said as he hung up on the ruby eyed woman.

"Pretentious, anal, asinine," the woman growled as she caught sight of a draw bridge that was slowly rising. "That could work," she muttered with a smirk on her face. The woman quickly spun a U-turn and flew back towards the draw bridge she had just passed.

Kagura gripped her steering wheel tightly as she hit her Nitrous button, causing her car to accelerate violently. 'Please God, let me make this," she muttered mentally as she busted through the boards that crossed the road, cracking her windshield as she drove up the rising road.

The Supra flew up the road as Kagura tramped on the gas, the car flying off of the edge. Kagura shut her eyes as she flew over the gap, praying that she would make it. There was a loud thud as the car hit the other side of the bridge, sending sparks out from underneath it. Kagura heaved out a sigh of relief as she continued down the road, hoping this would be the end of her adventure for the day.

Kagura stumbled out of her car as she wandered over to her couch. All she wanted right now was a good long sleep. She let out a long sigh as she kicked her shoes off and lay down on the couch.

"You seem relaxed," Sesshoumaru said as he walked down the staircase, his eyes trained on the woman, "seems you got away from the cops all right."

Kagura groaned as she turned to face him, "What do you want? I'm feeling tiered and my stomach is killing me."

"I came to talk to you about making some money," he said holding a container full of Chinese food. "There is a large race coming up, and it can be very profitable for both of us."

"Yeah, yeah, tell me about it later, will you?" she groaned out as she held her stomach which was making some very strange gurgling noises.

Sesshoumaru walked over to the woman and placed a hand on her forehead. "Did you eat this?" he questioned plainly as he held up the box of food.

"Yeah I did, it was a special the other day," she moaned out in pain as she swatted away his hand. "Why do you care?"

"Because it's several days bad," he said looking at her, noticing a slight glaze of sweat on her body, "and because you have a temperature."

Kagura groaned in pain as she rolled on the couch. "So what it's food poisoning?"

"A mild case; at least that's what it appears to be," he said, rolling her back over. "It'd be best if you came with me to my place."

"Why do you care? I can take care of myself," the woman growled, but was unable to do more than that.

"I won't take the risk on loosing my investment on you," he said as he helped the ruby eyed woman to her feet.

"Oh yeah, you're a real gentleman," Kagura scoffed, not fighting against Sesshoumaru as he led her outside and into his car.

Kagura held herself up in Sesshoumaru's bathroom, her stomach churning in protest as she vomited for the fourth time that night. "Help…" she moaned out weakly as a reaction more than anything else.

Sesshoumaru walked into the bathroom in response and held the woman up, making sure she didn't hurt herself accidentally. "This is good for you," he stated wisely as he wiped the corner of her mouth with some tissue.

"How do you figure?" she groaned out, the taste of bile still in her mouth. "I can't keep anything in my stomach due to this."

Sighing the white haired man explained, "At the very least you're pushing out all of the poisoning from your body," the man stated as he looked at the woman.

"Never figured you for the silver lining type either," the red eyed woman muttered out as she leaned against him, all of her energy having left her over the past few hours. "Don't get any ideas here."

"Don't mistake me for that lecher Miroku," the man said as he lifted the woman up in a bridal position.

Looking up at the man who was carrying her Kagura questioned, "Just what are you doing then?"

"I didn't think you'd like to be lying on the cold floor of the bathroom," he said as he walked into his bedroom. It was a large room with a single long dresser along one wall and a large bed in the middle of the room. The room itself was dimly lit and so Kagura couldn't make out any discerning details but she knew that the man had a good deal of money outside of street racing.

"You're giving me your bed then?" the woman asked as she looked around for another possible place he would be putting her. "Didn't know you were so concerned."

"As I said before, I need you better as quickly as possible," he said as he laid her in the soft bed and pulled the covers up around her, "and if that means giving up my bed then I'll just have to do that."

"Just tell me about this job now will you," she groaned out as she felt her stomach churn again.

Not finding any reason not to oblige to the woman's request the man began, "It is a racing tournament to be held on the outskirts of the city this weekend."

"And you want me to race so you can make some bets and win some money yourself right?" she questioned as she looked at the man. Sesshoumaru nodded in response. "How much do you plan on making off of me this weekend?"

"About seventy thousand," the man said as he looked at the woman whose attention was partially elsewhere. "That means you'll only owe me five hundred thousand more."

"Four hundred," the woman corrected knowing that he was seeing if she was paying attention to him. "What kind of races will there be?"

"All kinds," he replied bluntly, running a hand across the woman's face.

Quickly grabbing the man's wrist weakly the woman snapped, "Just what are you doing?"

Letting out a sigh, Sesshoumaru responded, "Seeing if you're still sickly. Your temperature seems to have gone down and you're not sweating so much right now."

After a few moments of silence Kagura finally spoke up, "Thank you," were her only words as she pulled the covers over herself, falling into an uncomfortable sleep.

Sesshoumaru let out a sigh as he walked out of the room, taking one last glance at the woman as he shut the door and went out to his living room. "Cursed woman; More trouble than she's worth," he thought out loud as he sat down on the couch, "Still, she makes things…interesting."

Well that's it for this chapter. I promise I'll have a new chapter up by the end of February. And yes I tried to show that Kagu and Sessh are getting closer.
