Pen or Sword?
Summary: Writing for your local news paper isn't everything it could turn out to be. Journalist Kagome Higurashi never expected one of her stories would lead her to Sesshomaru Taisho. A stoic businessman who isn't looking for complications…..or a romance.
I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters.
A few weeks later, Kagome sat in the massive living room. Sesshomaru sat on her right, typing ruinously away on a laptop. Pearing over his glasses, he glanced at the tv show she was watching. "This Sesshomaru doesn't understand your fixation with waffles."
Rolling her eyes at him, she chuckled as she remembered what had happened her first day in his home.
*Flashback*
Stumbling back slightly at the harsh reply, Kagome couldn't help the blush that came over her face. "Fluffy" she said moments later, the word coming out braver than she thought it would. Grinning at him, she poured the batter into a skillet trying to keep her eyes off the man staring at her in what she hoped was shock. "Women, you will refrain from calling this Sesshomaru such names if you wish to remain clean" he threatened, not missing the confused yet curious glint come into Kagomes eyes.
Tilting her head at him, Kagome regarded the taller man with wariness. What did he mean by clean? She was just going to have to find out. "Fluffy, what do you mean?" she asked, a sly smile coming across her face. Flipping the pancake over, she glanced at him just in time to see him throw batter at her.
"That was what I meant Ka-go-me" he drawled, a smirk crossing his face at her shocked expression. He didn't know what it was, but something about this women brought out a side in him that he had kept hidden for years. Yet another thing for him to ponder about regarding this…women. So caught up in his thoughts he missed, the batter flying through the air until it splattered in his face. Growling softly, he grabbed more batter, following Kagome as she made a mad dash to avoid more batter. "Sesshomaru no!" she yelled, laughter lessoning the exclamation.
Running into one of the bedrooms, she slammed the door shut. Leaning against it to catch her breath, making sure at the same time to lock said door. Glancing around the room for some place to hide, she frantically looked for a place to hide knowing no door would keep Sesshomaru out for long. Making a dash for the closet, she paid no regard to the batter dripping from her hair and clothes and onto the floor.
Hiding behind a case of shirts, she tried to calm her breathing knowing Sesshomaru would be right behind her. A few seconds later she heard the door click open, he must have a key or something she thought. "Kagome, come out come out wherever you are"
She froze at his words, there was a playfulness there she never expected the cold business man to possess. Even if he had, she never expected him to reveal something like this to her, a complete stranger. She shrieked as she was picked up and trapped into a steel like vice. "Sesshomaru! Let go!" she screamed, between fit of laughter as the man attacker her sides mercilessly. "Will you call this Sesshomaru fluffy again?" he asked, his voice calm and cool, a stark contrast from how he was acting.
"Yes! Yes! Just Stop!" Kagome pleaded, her stomach beginning to hurt from laughing so hard. Abruptly the tickling stop and she was set down onto the floor once more. "Good, now clean up. This Sesshomaru will finish breakfast and we shall go to my office." Glaring half-heartedly up at him, Kagome crossed her arms and pouted like a child. "That was mean" she said child-ishly.
Patting her head, Sesshomaru moved out of the closet and towards the door. "Get clean and dressed. We leave in an hour" he called over his shoulder, a slight smile on his face. Kagome, stared after him, wondering what the hell had just happened.
*End Flashback*
Shaking her head, she glanced at Sesshomaru, who was now going over some important looking papers. He hadn't let her out of his sight, and so far nothing had happened. She just hoped that he would agree to letting her go out with some friends the next night. Not that she needed his permission in the first place, but it was a lot easier to have your house mate in agreement when you needed to use his car. "Hey Sessho?" she asked, using the only nickname he had allowed her to use without some repercussion.
A slight raise of his brow was the only answer she received. Sighing at his lack of communication skills, she forged on. "I need to run a few errands, since you haven't let me be on my own, I need to take care of a few things tomorrow. Just thought I would let you know"
Nodding once in confirmation, Sesshomaru continued reading. Not sure if he even had heard her, Kagome flipped off the T.V and headed towards her room. "Night" she called over her shoulder, wondering just how tomorrow would go.
