I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters…especially the hawt awesome lady Kagura….T.T Ok I lied, the last chapter was of normal length, give or take. And this one will be…about the same.

XChapter 11X

Kagura awoke in the large bed a bit distraught, unsure of where she was for a few moments before the events of the night before came back to her. The woman groaned out as she lifted herself up and looked around the dark room. After a few moments she found a small lamp on a bed side desk and turned it on, wincing as her eyes adjusted to the sudden light.

After a few moments the red eyed woman noticed a small not on the table under the light which read:

Kagura, went to get some of your things. Get ready while I'm gone.

"Yeah sure seems to sound like Sesshoumaru," the woman said as she got out of the bed and found her way to the door, opening it up slowly; as if expecting to be attacked by something. Letting out a sigh when nothing was waiting for her, she shook her head, feeling silly as hell.

Kagura made her way to the bathroom and locked the door behind her, just in case. She wasn't exactly modest about her body in any way, other than her scar, but she just felt that it was necessary. She quickly stripped her clothes and tossed them casually aside before she turned the water on, waiting for it to get hot before she stepped inside the shower.

The woman let out a sigh of content as the hot water cascaded down her body, washing away the grime and sweat that had built up on her body. She stood there for a few moments as she tried to process what exactly happened last night. Was Sesshoumaru really concerned about her, or was he just protecting an asset? 'Damn him,' she thought as she grabbed a bottle of shampoo and poured the substance into her hand as violently as possible, 'getting me all worked up over some stupid little stomach thing; how dare he!'

She let out a sigh as she calmed herself down and stopped her mental venting. It was just so frustrating being with that man! "He shows no care if I wreck my car and gives me a screaming metal death trap to drive in. But then he comes out of nowhere and nurses me back to health when I have a tummy ache?" she snarled as she scrubbed at her scalp. "What's with him?"

With another sigh the red eyed rinsed off her hair and grabbed a washcloth and bar of soap and began to wash her body off, continuing to contemplate the man whose house she was in. When she was finished she stepped out of the shower and reached for a towel only to find there weren't any in the bathroom.

"Great," the ebony haired woman muttered as she picked up her clothes and walked out of the bathroom and towards the bedroom in hopes of finding something there when she noticed Sesshoumaru standing in the living room, staring at her exposed body. 'Oh and no you gave him a show…great,' she scolded mentally but didn't move to cover her body with the clothes she was carrying under her arm.

Meanwhile Sesshoumaru was still a bit dazed by the woman's appearance, though his outward expression wouldn't be allowed to show it. After a few brief moments the white haired man composed himself and questioned, "Any distinct reason that you're standing here naked?"

Kagura scoffed as she walked closer to the man, unsure about the action she was about to take. "Because you don't have towels in the bathroom," she said, dropping the clothes on the floor and walking up to the golden eyed man, pressing her chest lightly against his as she stood on her toes to get to eye level with him, "Any reason you were gawking at me like some sex craved loony?"

Without moving an inch the man calmly replied, "Because it's my house and you didn't bother to cover yourself up. Any reason you're pressing yourself into me now?"

"So you can't stare at my body any more," she said as she looked down into his hand, noticing some of her clothes in a bag. "Any reason you broke into my garage?"

"First off it's my garage," he stated emphasizing the "my" in the sentence before he explained, "Second, I didn't think you wanted to be wearing sweaty clothes all day."

"Well thank you," she said sarcastically as she snatched the bag out of his hand and walked towards the bedroom before looking back at him. "I meant that. I appreciate what you did, and I want to know why."

"What do you mean why?" Sesshoumaru questioned as he stared at her, taking note of how she looked with her hair down for the first time.

"I know what you're about to say, the whole asset thing right?" she snapped a little as she turned around to face him again, crossing her arms under her breasts, holding the bag of her clothes in front of her more intimate bits. "I saw that slightest of glimmers in your eye. It wasn't just the asset thing. So what was it, pity? Lust? Envy? Love?"

"Well you've narrowed it down to quite the list. Which either makes me, as you said, sex craved loony, or some charity case. I'm neither," he said as he looked back at the red eyed woman, noticing that his eyes were drifting down her body further, before snapping them back up to her face. "When you can narrow it down to one I'll tell you; and no random guessing."

"Sounds like a fun game," she stated with a smirk as a chill ran over her body, making her remember her current state of dress. Quickly she pulled her bra and panties out of the bag and put them on, not caring that she was still in front of Sesshoumaru. She then pulled out the clothes and glared at the man, snarling, "Is this some kind of joke?"

"What do you mean?" he questioned as he looked at the woman, puzzled by her reaction.

"This," she said as she pulled a pair of denim short shorts and a low cut tank top out of the bag. "Do you think I dress like a slut or something?"

"They were the first things I saw, and we're going somewhere where you'll need those kinds of skimpy clothes," he stated plainly, no emotion showing in his features.

"Where exactly would that be?" the woman asked as she slipped into the clothes he had gotten her, begrudgingly.

"To the race area," the young man said as he grabbed his keys off of a near by table. "We can stop on the way there for breakfast."

"Fine but you're paying," Kagura scoffed as she slid her feet into her shoes, wishing the man would've grabbed her a pair of socks or stockings.

"Didn't expect you to," he said as he opened the door, allowing Kagura to leave first before he locked up.

Kagura and Sesshoumaru sat in a small diner that was located along the highway several miles outside of the city. Kagura was finishing a large stack of pancakes that was serving as her first meal in days. Sesshoumaru on the other hand was content with just drinking several cups of coffee. As she finished the plate of food she pushed it aside and looked across the table at the man and asked. "So then what's the plan for this weekend?"

"The plan is for me to win money off of you," Sesshoumaru stated simply as he looked at the woman before deciding to elaborate on his statement, "You'll race against various racers from the city, among them will probably be Miroku, Ayame, and a man called Suikotsu who races with Bankotsu."

"Are they better than me?" she questioned dully as she took a drink of her own coffee.

"They're ranked higher than you. Much higher," he stated as he looked at the red eyed woman. "But if you manage to win all of it, you may just take a hundred thousand or so off of how much you owe me."

"Oh lucky, lucky me. I hope you don't mind if I do some betting for myself," she said as she stood up from the table and headed for the door, simply stating, "I'll leave the bill to you," before she went outside and sat down in Sesshoumaru's BMW.

"Irritating woman," the white haired man muttered as he laid some cash on the table and followed the woman out to the car.
