Inuyasha

Chapter 2: Business Offer

"I'm glad that I put this up to the auction," Kagome told him as she took a seat at the plush set of comfy sofa that she had placed in her office for more comfortable meetings like this.

Sesshoumaru took his seat not too far by her, sitting alone as he unbuttoned his jacket, showing his inner silk vest and cotton dress shirt with a his infamous look of indifference.

"Miss Higurashi, if we could get down to business, we would like to discuss about this expansion into Hong Kong," he stated, all business and no loose talk, something that she had never been able to make him break out of it, only perhaps that night when the bidding for this project was posted up as an auction item.

And like what Sesshoumaru had demanded, they both dive right into the more specifics without hesitations as Kagome took on more serious approach whilst dealing what was needed as they both leaf through the documents, noting down the changes that each of them needed and agreed upon, leaving out their board of directors only to quicken these process.

"Thank you for making this trip, I guess we would be next meeting to inspect the site, we'll let our secretaries settle the minor detail for this and arrange to our schedules," Kagome said as she stood up along with Sesshoumaru, her hand reaching out in the direction of the entry/exit of her office.

"Yes, I look forward to the finalized draft of the agreement Miss Higurashi,"

"Of course, until our next meeting Mr. Taisho," she replied with a polite smile that she usually puts on when facing in business.

"Miss, Mr. Long is on line 2," her secretary informed her just as he was coming in to clear the cups of drinks.

"Thanks, I heard that there has been some trouble with a certain overly eager policeman,"

"We're handling it Miss," Kagome was told as she nodded her head, reaching for her phone and starting a conference call that was scheduled.

By nightfall, Kagome visited one of the many establishments under her Godfather's group as she sat in one of the private booths, observing the front house after having looked through the books and spoke with the Mama of the establishment she is now relaxing at the back with some drinks with her secretary by her side as he kept watch over her.

"I'm sorry," Kagome mumbled as she accidentally bumped into a person on her way out, having been a little distracted by her phone and a headache that is throbbing in her head.

"It is no matter," a charming velvety voice said as the person helped to steady Kagome, holding onto her arms firmly.

"I'm sorry," Kagome apologized again as she straightened herself up, looking up to see those same brown red eyes again, causing her to look at him for a moment too long.

"Yea, again, I'm sorry Mr. Kagewaki," Kagome said formally again as she pushed herself off him, as she staggered a little on her feet before walking away.

"Are you in a hurry?" he mused out, seeing the way that she had been walking and her short momentary lost of thoughts just now when she saw him.

"It's late Mr. Kagewaki, good night," Kagome told him without so much as a smile upon her face as she glanced at him.

"Oh? Then let me send you back," Naraku added as he looked at her face for a moment before adding. "You're in no position to drive back,"

"Thank you for your observation Mr. Kagewaki, I'll be sure to take care of myself," Kagome said with a mocking smile before she walked away again.

"Come let me send you back," Naraku side firmly the smile upon his lips gone as he grabbed hold of Kagome by her arm firmly as he guided her towards his car which conveniently rolled up at the raise of his hand.

"Miss Higurashi!" a familiar male called out to her as Kagome turned away to look at her

"Takemaru take me home!" she ordered trying to walk towards him by swinging Naraku's hold off.

"Mr. So'Unga, I'll be taking your vice president home," Naraku told him with a smile.

"Miss Higurashi, the car is here," Takemaru So'Unga informed her as he walked towards her, wanting to direct her towards the car, and steal her away from Naraku's arms.

"Mr. Kagewaki!" Kagome whispered out in a shout as she tried again in a defensive maneuver to get out of his hold.

Seeing that it was of no use, "Takemaru!" she called out to him, giving him a look as the other male went up directly to Naraku to have Kagome unhanded.

Naraku surprised them on how easily he moved, immediately pulling Kagome into his arms and grasp as he literally hulled her into his car like in a kidnapping case before letting it known to Takemaru known again that he will have Kagome safely sent back home, and he can just follow behind of their car.

"What is this about," Kagome asked, rubbing the side of her temple in slow circles as she angled her head away from him despite her body being in his direction.

"Nothing really,"

"I somehow doubt that," she mumbled beneath her breath, not wanting to look at him at the moment and just needed a moment of rest even if she is somewhat wary.

"Then I'll be straightforward," he mused with a mocking smile upon his lips as his eyes roamed towards Kagome, tipping her head in his direction.

"We've been meaning to talk business with your team and you,"

"Hmmnnn?" she hummed, glancing at him indicating that she is listening before looking out of the window again, re-crossing her legs again as it tipped in his direction.

His eyes never drifted down to her little flashing of legs, but kept it on her face and eyes. "Of course business as it is, we are looking forward to counter bid on what you have placed up for auction and add onto it,"

"Mr. Kagewaki, I would have to disappoint, and turn you down," Kagome said with a flippant hand wave in his direction, her eyes closed still for the moment, peaking through heavy eyelids to check on where they are.

Sighing heavily, "It was already made known to everyone then before the bidding begins that all things are finalized unless the other party decides to drop it," Kagome informed him again, practically repeating what was already being mentioned and said that night.

"Is there in anyway that I could change that," he asked in a low seductive like drawl, turning an eye towards her only to see her more or less already nodding off into a snooze right beside of him.

"Miss Higurashi?" he called out to her name, no response.

"Kagome?" no response still.

Instead, through the whole ride because of her lack of reply, Naraku openly observed and studied her even until the car had come to a stop, he made no intentions to wake her up. However, Kagome opened her eyes to look out the window before turning her head in his direction with a nod of acknowledgement, she exited the car, seeing Takemaru immediately by the door about to open it for her but was unable to.

"Takemaru…"

"Miss Higurashi?"

"See me up to my place and stay a while," Kagome told him, knowing for sure that Naraku had the windows drawn down and looking at her walking away from him to the front of her lobby.

His fingers tapped impatiently watching her walked away, hearing that open invite that she has given to her secretary, he made him have a little deeper thought.

"Let's go," he told his driver, the window were slowly drawn up as his maroon eyes never really did leave her until she is out of his sight either by his car being driven off or her entering the lift with her secretary following a little too closely behind of her.

"Miss?"

"It's fine Takemaru, thank you, I'll make you a drink," Kagome said as she let him into her house.

"Of course Miss," he said with a slight smile touching upon his lips as he followed closely after her.
