Chapter 6
Kagome lay in her bed, papers scattered about in front of her haphazardly with her reading spectacles barely hanging on by the bridge of her nose as the shrill ring of her home phone echoed throughout the 1,000 square foot condo.
Reaching over to grab the white cordless phone resting on the end table to the left of her she answered lazily, "Hello, Higurashi speaking."
Startled at the voice coming from the other end of the telephone, Kagome sat patiently as she listened intently, "Kagome, Tanaka here, I'd like to apologize for my earlier display of aggression toward your person. I do hope we can put today's incident behind us and move on as professionals." Sesshoumaru spoke smoothly.
There were many things Kagome could have said in response to Sesshoumaru's seemingly heartfelt apology. She could have told him to let bygones be bygones, to sweep the incident under the rug, or even that she was as much at fault as he for provoking him, but instead she replied,
"How'd you get my home phone number?"
Suppressing an agitated growl, Sesshoumaru smoothed over the ever growing crease in the center of his eyebrows as he spoke into the receiver,
"This Sesshoumaru does not apologize often. Perhaps this was a mistake and I should revoke my attempt at reconciliation."
Before Kagome could respond she was met with the sound of the dial tone in her ear. She looked at the phone in disbelief before redialing the last number. It did not take long before Sesshoumaru answered the phone, and Kagome hastily apologized for her rude response.
"Look I'm sorry; you just took me by surprise. I don't get work related calls on this phone. About today… it's been a rough couple of days and I should not have taken my frustrations out on you. Hopefully we can do better at communication in the future."
"This sounds reasonable to me," Sesshoumaru spoke approvingly.
"Thank you," She said. "Listen, I'm actually reviewing a few things about the case and we are to meet with the judge on the morrow. Is there any way we could meet beforehand so we don't get caught with our dicks in our hands? It's 7:45 now, I could meet you, or you could meet me somewhere if you'd like."
"If you give me your address I could meet you at your residence if you don't feel that to be inappropriate," suggested Sesshoumaru.
"Uh ok, sure…"
…...A/N: UhOh! I bet you can't guess what I'm setting you up for… did you say hot makeout session? Hmmm maybe…IDK. Lol! I know this is a short tease, but I wanted to get something out there to get the creative juices flowing again. Hope you enjoyed it! Review!
