His Preferences
I head towards Sesshomaru's home. It takes me two hours to get there because it is out in the woods far off from Tokyo. The home is a modern home with large windows and windows for the living room where you can see everything. His home is in a light blue much like his crescent mark is when it is not concealed. I park in his curving drive way which has a fountain in the grass in the middle of the curve. The fountain is of a dog which is ironic really. Visiting humans must wonder why he has that there. I park my '98 mustang in front of his house. As I step out of the car one of Sesshomaru's servant steps forward to take me into the house.
"It has been a long time, Lady Kagome," says the serving girl with a smile.
"Yes it has been a long time, Satoshi," I tell her.
"What is that wretch doing here," demands a young dragon demoness.
"Lady Karin, this is Lady Kagome the advisor of Lord Sesshomaru and ambassador of the Western Lands. Lady Kagome, this is Lady Karin the youngest daughter of the Northern Lord. She is here to be an assistant to milord," Satoshi replies with a bow.
"Satoshi what have I told you about bowing. Do not do it for me especially during these times. I am not your employer and in no way am I of true higher station," I tell her sternly.
"So true. At least she is a demon and I am surprised Lord Sesshomaru has decided to fill the position after so long with a weak unknowledgeable human. Especially after he had such a great demon one before," Karin tells me.
"Enough, Karin," commands Sesshomaru.
Karin jumps in surprise and Satoshi stops herself from going to hit Karin for being so rude and mean. I bow to Sesshomaru.
"You wanted me here now, my lord," I say with no emotion on my face.
I allow my politicians mask to slide on. After so many years in the yokai court, I have learned to hide my emotions because they will only cause me problems. To the yokai, emotions are useless and are a show of weakness. The higher up you are in their structure, the more they expect you to be emotionless.
"Yes, you know where your office is already," he tells me with a small smirk on his face. "Your work is already there."
"Yes, my lord," I reply.
"Order lunch," Sesshomaru commands Karin.
"Anything specific," Karin asks with a sweet face.
Is she trying to seduce him? Good Kami above, she really is. She is an idiot. He doesn't go for cute faces or girls who are most likely only there for his money and position in the yokai court. So many have tried and all have failed. Apparently that is still true because I have not seen his mate so most likely he does not have one.
"No," he replies while completely ignoring her.
Sesshomaru turns and goes back down the hallway he came down from. Satoshi sighs as she turns back to look at me. She is looking at me with a please help me look on her face.
"I am going to go order some Mexican Food," Karin whispers to herself.
"I would not do that. He hates spicy foods and Mexican Food is spicy very much. He will most likely throw you against the wall for that," I tell her.
"Shut up whore," she tells me.
"I warned you," I tell her as I climb the stairs.
Satoshi follows a few steps behind me. Once I am out of viewing range of Karin, I start spinning around while skipping and singing in my head: someone's gonna get slammed into a wall, over and over again. I soon arrive at the place that was the same position in the house as my office in the Western Palace. I open the door and see that there is ton of paper work on my desk already. Dang he never let anyone do any of this.
"Is there anything that you will need," Satoshi asks me as I take my spot behind the desk.
"Yes when the food gets here and Sesshomaru is on his way to eat let me know. I want to be able to see that happening," I tell her.
"Of course," she replies with a gleeful expression.
Satoshi turns and leaves the room. Once she is gone, I open the thick folder that is on my desk. The folder contains all of the laws and the revisions of laws. I quickly read through it because most of it has not changed much in the past five hundred years. After finishing going through that, I start working on the stacks of envelops of work. Most of the papers are over events with the other lords and events coming up with in the western lands. Sesshomaru's company also has a few formal events coming up and there a few treaties that need to be redrawn up soon so I have to write up drafts for those. An hour after I start working on organizing a calendar of events for him, Satoshi comes in. I jump out of my chair and follow Satoshi down the hall back to where I came into the house.
Sesshomaru is standing in front of Karin and is seriously looking pissed off. Come on; slam her into the wall please. It has been so long since you have thrown someone into a wall and I have seen it.
To be continued later. . . I have been writing this on and off for three and a half hours.
For those of you who are curious about how Kagome became Sesshomaru's advisor and ambassador, I will be adding that with the next chapter.
