Silver Moon : Chapter 14 : Stilettos
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Claimer: Sheba and Sasha are mine!
…
Kagome and Inuyasha looked over the hut they sat in. Sango and Miroku were healing well, but without Sheba's assistance it was slow going, and they may not have the previous strength they had before. It had been several weeks since Kagome had discovered the ransacked apartment. After telling Inuyasha, the two had got back to investigate…
Inuyasha's face twisted when they had gotten into the elevator.
"Sesshomaru was here!" he seethed.
According to Inuyasha, they had only missed them by a day or so. There was no sign that he had seriously injured her, but he could smell her blood. Specifically, he could smell fresh blood in the bedroom of the apartment. Inuyasha couldn't figure it out. There was no sign of a struggle, and there was no scent of Sesshomaru's blood, so he was not using her to heal a wound.
"It doesn't make sense, but whatever is happening cannot be good", he frowned.
…
"This can't be right!" Sheba held up the kimono that Kaori had handed her.
"When one is presented to the youkai court it is very important to show off ones assets." Kaori smiled.
"This is very short… is actually looks like something from my closet at home", Sheba held up the kimono that would have fallen at mid-thigh.
"Were you some kind of whore?" Kaori frowned; this kind of clothing was only excusable when one was in the process of convincing a male to make you his mate not everyday clothing.
"No, it is just what we wear there… wait here…" Sheba took off to the wardrobe that she had not looked at since the night she had arrived.
"Excuse me?" Kaori was confused.
Sheba had just mumbled to herself and flown across her chambers, and thrown open her wardrobes doors. She was currently tossing the clothing that was neatly packed into the structure out and onto the floor while calling out the names of these clothes.
Sheba paused and called out, "Koto, Mai I need your help, please!"
"Just what are you planning?" Kaori carefully crossed the room, making sure to avoid the scattered pieces of cloth.
"If you think that that kimono is risqué, then you should see what I have in here." Sheba smiled with a spark that Kaori could see was going to get her in trouble.
Koto and Mai rushed into the chambers to find clothes all over the room, and Sheba in the center organizing the clothes and accessories into outfits. The only problem was that she was spreading the clothes, shoes, every part of each outfit out in a manner that would resemble the chalk outline of a fallen victim. The visual created allowed Kaori to see the best version of each display to be as alive as possible.
Kaori lifted one of a pair of dark red, seven inch stilettos with a needle heal, and after examining it she waved it at Sheba, "You can walk in these?"
"I was paid a lot of money to do so as my profession. I know how to make these clothes look good, and I can fake being a bitch IF I can get into character", that spark in her eyes turned into a full-fledged flame as she held up a black lace dress that barely covered her backside.
"I want to see you in each of these, and after we all see them we will decide which of these you shall take with you. We will only need five of these", Kaori turned around and seated herself back at the table they were having tea at only moments before.
Sheba did so with the assistance of her beloved maids. She surprised all of the other women in the room with how quickly she changed. After two hours of rushing of silk, lace, sequins, feathers, and heels the decision was made.
Five fallen ladies appeared to have fallen into the floor of her chambers and left their clothes.
"Well, we will have you wear the shoes while we practice; they seem to have the greatest effect on you", Kaori was so surprise in the dramatic change now that Sheba was in what she called "Stilettos".
She suddenly held this fire, and she held herself in a very upright and regal way. She must have been very good at her previous career. Either way, this Sheba she could work with. This Sheba moved through a room as though she owned its foundations, and with great fluidity and poise she was starting to make Kaori envious. It was much more apparent how long and lean her figure was, how swan-like her neck set, drew attention to the full round hips that under the heavy kimono were previously unknown, and even a decent bust; much more than what girls her size usually had, but still not obnoxious.
Sheba caught Kaori's gaze, and proceeded to cup her own chest in a humorous manner, and said, "They are nice handfuls aren't they! I almost forgot under all that silk."
Kaori's jaw dropped at her actions, and it attempted to drop further when Sheba shimmied her way over to her.
Koto and Mai simply laughed and discussed the outfits that framed the floor.
"Should we put these away? Lord Sesshomaru will be here shortly for your dinner plans." Mai's ears perked at the sound of her lord making his way down the hall.
"No, it has to be a surprise!" Sheba slammed the doors to the dressing room closed, and threw on a pair of jeans, a snug sweater, and a pair of stilettos that were only the standard five inches. She ran to the door just as Sesshomaru opened it.
He looked around the room, Sheba had changed clothes, Koto, Kaori, and Mai were all snatching up clothing from the floor, and waving him off.
"You have no idea how hungry I am", Sheba began walking down the hall to his chambers without him.
"Should I be concerned?" he leveled his gaze with her's.
"No, we were just discussing my wardrobe for court, and we had a good time. I think you will be pleased." She smiled brightly.
He watched her seat herself next to him, she was wearing heals. He had seen her wear them before in her time. He had to admit he liked them, and their effect on her. She seemed so comfortable with herself. She was chattering away about how it would be a surprise, but how it would be different and even more risqué than what most would wear. He was only hearing half of it. Her navy sweater hugged her torso, and outlined her curves with the length that stopped just below her hips.
"You know if you don't feed me soon these curves will go away again", she wiggled a brow at him while running her hands flatly along said sides.
"Perhaps you should wear your clothes more often?" He stated mostly to himself as he offered her a spoon-full of Miso to start their meal.
