Here is your next chapter everyone! I love that I'm getting a lot of great reviews on this story. I will still update randomly, but since I am about to have finals this week, everything should smooth out a little. I hope you enjoy this chapter because I don't know how I feel about it V_V
Chapter Four: Coincidence?
It's been two nights since that night at the bar and Sesshomaru's hands were itching to look up a 'Kagome' on the internet.
Or in the phone book.
It didn't matter where he found her, he just needed to. That first night that he had left her, he didn't think that his fathers curse would work so fast, but into the night when he was about to settle down for sleep, he had felt pain shoot up his hand from the mark all the way to his heart. It shouldn't have worked that fast. As much as Sesshomaru didn't wan't to, he decided that he would need to have a talk with his father.
He needed to know all he could about this curse so that he might know how to battle it. Sesshomaru would fight with everything inside of him against this, but even as he thought it, he was thinking of a way to be with her again.
It was infuriating!
How could something like this happen to him? He was a powerful youkai and he should have sensed something the likes of his father would come up with. Being in his presence would be hard without trying to kill him, but he would do it.
He had to.
This curse could not remain on him.
Trying to keep his mind occupied, he buried himself in work. Every time his mind would stray he would try even harder. Going over his work multiple times. By the end of the day, he was going through his last file. His company's sole purpose was designing and decorating. That included everything from parties, home decor, and dining. It fit Sesshomaru somehow. He was perfection, so it only made sense that he would want everything around him to be perfect.
All of a sudden, Sesshomaru felt calmness wash over his body and his heart skipped a beat. For one drastic moment the restlessness inside of Sesshomaru was stopped.
Then his door to his office opened before someone knocked on it.
"Come in."
The person who walked in surprised him to the point of total silence.
It was Kagome. The same girl at the bar. The girl who he was cursed to! What was she doing in his building better yet his office? She was not looking at him and had a pile of papers in his hands as she walked his way, but then her eyes met his and she froze in place. The papers almost slipped through her hands, but she held on with a will that surprised even her seeing as if her legs were about to give out on her.
"Here are some papers sir." Kagome put the papers that her friend, Ayame, had asked her to bring up to the head man. it didn't matter to Kagome because she knew Ayame had a full load with a client, so Kagome happily agreed to it.
But now Kagome didn't know if it such a good idea. She was determined not to look at him. Nothing in the world would make her.
Eyes to the floor, Kagome sat down the paperwork and turned towards the door. Sesshomaru appeared in front of her before she could take a step. Her heart almost stopped in her chest.
"What are you doing here?"
The answer to Sesshomaru's question should have been obvious, but he didn't want to believe it. There was no way she was working here in his building.
For his company.
No way.
When Kagome's eyes met his, Sesshomaru could see the blush rising in her face.
"I, um. I work here." She looked extremely nervous standing in front of him, but she stood her ground.
"No you don't. It's not possible."
Confusion danced across her face as Kagome wondered why would he think that?
"I have been working here for almost a year now."
Everything was going through Sesshomaru's head. How did he not know she was working here? He checked out everyone that worked at his company. He had to do this, but he would not accept a person who slacked. That was why his business thrived like it did.
Tiasho Comp. was the best of the best and Sesshomaru was proud of that fact.
"You do not work here. I have not seen you before and I know everyone here. By face and by name."
"Well," Kagome didn't know what to say, but if he didn't want to believe her then she would let him think what he would. "Fine. I don't work here." Kagome moved around him to leave and was again stopped by a solid body, but this time she had actually ran into his chest. Looking up her eyes locked with Sesshomaru's golden orbs.
"What do you want?"
She asked him, but the truth was, Sesshomaru didn't know what he wanted. When she had begun to walking away, his body moved of it's own accord. It happened so fast that he couldn't have stopped it if he wanted to. Now he was still standing in front of her at such a close proximity that it was a bit uncomfortable. He could smell that she was nervous and not scared.
That made him feel better on the inside, but it shouldn't be like that. If she was afraid of him then it would have been easier to move away from her. Her small human instincts should have had her scurrying out of the room, not standing in front of him.
But then again, he did stop her twice.
How was he suppose to stay away from her if she was in his building every day? It would surely drive him mad.
Sesshomaru, no, Mr. Tiasho was still looking at me. He had blocked me twice as I had tried to leave out of the room and so I stayed.
How could this man be the same man in the bar the other night? Our paths shouldn't have crossed anymore after that first time.
It shouldn't have been possible, but it was. He was standing in front of me, blocking my way. When I first saw him, I could have just died where I stood. It was the most uncomfortable situation to be in when all I wanted to do was forget the whole incident.
As a matter of fact, I was going to pretend that it didn't happen at all. no matter what he said, I was always going to deny it.
Before I could think to say anything, Sesshomaru was kissing me. Complete shock had me stunned into not moving. My mind went blank and I stopped breathing for a slight moment, but when he slid his tongue past my lips and into my mouth, whatever was holding me back was gone.
My heart was hammering so hard in my chest that it was borderline pain, but it could easily be ignored by the wonderful sensation of our tongues doing battle.
It felt magnificent!
I couldn't know how long we were standing there kissing, but I was snapped out of it when I heard the sound of a water fountain, it's low hum creating noise in the air. I ripped myself from Sesshomaru and scrambled out of the door on weak knees. Right before I reached the elevators I stopped and almost shouted out in pain. I could feel my body break out in a sweat all over. It felt as if someone was squeezing the life out my heart.
It was pure agony, but as soon as it started it was over. That did nothing for me though. I was breathless and still clutching my chest, trying to put myself back together before anyone saw me. It was highly unlikely because it was pretty late, but people always ask questions.
'This thing with my heart could be a problem.' I thought to myself. The first time it could be ignored, but this time I couldn't just brush it off as nothing. I would need to see a doctor.
The bad thing about tonight was I couldn't just go home like I wanted to.
I had to go to work.
Sesshomaru could feel her presence with every step that she took away from him.
Unknown to Sesshomaru, every step that she took his eyes were turning from that burning gold to a glowing red.
Every step was like she was pulling his heart with him. When she reached the end of the hall, an explosive pain hit him. To try to prevent it from hurting, he held his breath and closed his eyes. His body not moving one centimeter.
not one tenth of a centimeter.
It was almost enough to where he was tempted to go after her.
Almost.
It was over with in a matter of seconds, but the point was that he didn't want to feel it at all.
All because of the damn curse!
Sesshomaru felt like hitting something, but it would be pointless. He would only destroy what was his own and that would not be a smart thing to do. Of course he had enough money to replace anything, but that would not be the point.
Kagome's presence had finally disappeared from out of the building. Sesshomaru wondered what she was feeling. If it was hurting him this bad, then what was it doing to her?
The phone in Sesshomaru's pocket vibrated and he retrieved it out of his pocket. Looking at the screen, it was his mother. He had totally forgotten that he was to take her out tonight. Not really wanting to put up with her, but knowing he had put this on himself her agreeing with her to do this in a weak moment because of her rambling, he answered the phone.
"Yes."
"Sesshomaru, I will be ready in about fifteen minuets. Did you forget?"
"No."
"Good. I will see you soon."
He ended the call, not bothering to say goodbye. Now he had to sit through an entire meal with his mother at a restaurant called, The Golden Eye, and help her pick out desserts for a party she is throwing. It was suppose to be for her new clothing store that was just opened. Sesshomaru wouldn't even know what was in there if it wasn't for the fact that she emailed him a picture of almost every dress that she could thing of.
As long as she was excited then he guess he had nothing to complain about.
Looking at the time on his phone that was still in his hand, Sesshomaru sighed.
It would be a long and boring night.
Hello everyone! Please tell me about this chapter because I was really having writers block through the whole thing. I was just forcing myself to write because I promised another chapter this weekend and I really hate to break a promise. And as requested, I did make this chapter longer than the last. I don't know when the next post will be for this next chapter, but keep a look out. I might have a free day and post another one soon!
