Feminam Amor

....The Following Week.....

The weekend passed in a blur. Aside from the anxiety associated with her wondering just how suspicious James was about her and Sesshoumaru's "working" relationship, Kagome found herself excited at the prospect of ending the Jefferson/Malone case. She was up all night practicing her poker face and preparing her argument. Malone Tech had ended up hiring Onigumo and Kotsu LLP. They were one of the leading law firms in Los Angeles known for winning impossible cases.

In spite of their reputation, Kagome was certain she could broker a deal. She was sure she could convince them that the humiliation associated with losing this case, which she was absolutely certain they would, would mar the near perfect record that O&K LLP had worked for.

Trapped in her thoughts, Kagome failed to greet Sango who sat at the desk located just outside of her office.

"Deep in thought I see." Sango called out.

"Yea," Kagome sighed, "today is the day! I'm pretty confident things will work in our favor but I'm curious to know who O&K is sending to represent them."

Sango held her hand up for a high five and said, "Whoever they send I'm sure you'll blow them away."

Kagome looked at Sango appreciatively and high fived her just before thanking her for her words of encouragement. Sango looked away bashfully.

Ignoring the Sango's sudden embarrassment, Kagome gathered her files associated with the Jefferson/Malone case and proceeded to the conference room.

Left to herself, Sango was able to relax slightly. She didn't know when feelings of comradery and respect for the young lawyer began to shift into something else. She did her best to avoid addressing the attraction, but the more she swept her feelings under the rug, the more unbearable they'd become.

Sango and Kagome had become fast friends upon her arrival at the firm and she respected and admired Kagome for her hard work and dedication. She watched Kagome struggle to earn respect at her father's company winning case after case. Kagome's victories were like her own and after two and a half years of being her personal cheerleader she realized she had developed a little girl crush.

She valued her friendship with the raven haired beauty… more than anyone may ever know.

….

Kagome entered the conference room to find Sesshoumaru already seated with his files in front of him. Soon after, a short balding older gentleman entered the room and introduced himself to Sesshoumaru as Gerald Jefferson of Jefferson Global Technological Industries.

"It's good to see you again Mr. Jefferson!" Kagome stood shaking his hand. "Sesshoumaru was placed on this case with me and we are fairly confident that you will be happy with our results."

Sesshoumaru greeting the man while saying, "It's great to finally put a face to a name."

Not long after Sesshoumaru and Kagome filled Mr. Jefferson in on their progress, a tall woman with a striking gaze entered the conference room silently and loudly placed her brief case on the table.

Kagome took in the woman's appearance and noticed that her eyes were a piercing shade of brown, so brown they were almost red in hue. Her features were sharp and her legs went on for days. Her hair was tied professionally at the top of her head.

Once the woman was situated she introduced herself as Kagura Onigumo. "I will be representing Malone Technologies. I'll have to apologize on the behalf of my client, but he is running behind schedule and may not make our meeting. I was informed to begin without him." She spoke in a cool calculating tone.

Kagome introduced herself to the woman and as she was about to introduce Sesshoumaru, Kagura interrupted her and said, "I know full well who Mr. Tanaka is."

Kagome didn't fail to catch the lust filled gaze the woman made in Sesshoumaru's direction.

Kagome allowed Sesshoumaru to take the lead.

"Ms. Onigumo, are you aware that one of your client's board members was a former employee of Jefferson Global Technological Industries?"

Kagura's eyes widened marginally but she otherwise kept her cool. "You mention this because?"

"Well Ms. Onigumo, I'm fairly certain you're familiar with contract law?" Sesshoumaru said while opening up one of his file folders and handing her the contractual agreement signed and notarized by Sato Kouga, Gerald Jefferson and the rest of the corporate heads of the company."

Kagura read the document quickly then cursed under her breath.

"What do you want?!" She gritted through clenched teeth.

Mr. Jefferson smiled victoriously, otherwise maintaining his composure.

Kagome took over from this point and began to outline the conditions. "If you'd like to avoid taking this before a judge I suggest you become very compliant to our terms. We will allow the continued sale of Procaine. You can even keep your company's name on the product, but instead of 50% of the revenue earned from the sale of the software, we would like 75%. We will keep this out of the press, your company gets to save face and be credited with the 'invention' of this product."

Kagura sat in silence for a moment before saying, "You must know how ridiculous you sound-"

"We could always sue." Kagome interrupted.

"65% and not a penny more."

Kagome and Sesshoumaru exchanged glances then turned to Mr. Jefferson. Upon his nod of approval everyone shook hands and Kagome called Sango telling her to draft up a new contract.

….

The meeting ended and Kagome could finally smile. She sat in the conference room by herself contemplating her most recent victory and couldn't help but pat herself on the back. Even though Sesshoumaru supported her in this case, she did the majority of the heavy lifting.

She took a deep breath and began to gather her files and paperwork. As she proceeded down the corridor she heard hushed murmurs coming from Sesshoumaru's office. She stopped outside his door only to see Kagura's plump bosom leaning comfortably on Sesshoumaru's chest. Sesshoumaru's back was against the wall, his brow furrowed in frustration as he said something Kagome couldn't quite make out.

The woman laughed heartily then removed herself from Sesshoumaru's form. She opened his office door and called back casually, "Maybe next time then, Sesshoumaru."

Kagome attempted to pretend like she had just gotten there and began fidgeting with the files clutched in her grasp.

Kagura gave her a quick glance before brushing past the petite woman.

Kagome poked her head in Sesshoumaru's office before asking, "What was that all about?"

"Nothing of importance. Congratulation's onna. I suppose today concludes our business together. We are once again competitors."

"Congrats to you as well." Kagome concluded the conversation and left his office but not before giving him a seductive smirk.

….

"Sango, let's go celebrate!" Kagome said loudly as she rounded the corner.

"Of course! Let me grab my things."

The two ladies made their way to the elevator with no interruptions, called for a taxi and headed to the nearest bar.

Sango and Kagome sat in a secluded corner in the back of the dark bar on a plush leather sofa with empty shot glasses scattered all about them.

-"So then I said, 'unlesss, you wanna… wa- want us to counter… co- counter sue!'" Kagome slurred her speech as she told Sango what happened earlier in the day."

"OMG Kags! You've got some balls!" They both burst into a fit of giggles before taking another shot of tequila.

Their giggles died down as Sango looked at Kagome square in her eyes and spoke, "I'm proud of you Kagome. You're the hardest working woman I know, and I'm glad I get to bear witness to your success."

Kagome blushed then looked away from Sango embarrassedly before saying, "Th-thanks"

Sango scooted closer to Kagome, allowing her bare thigh to slide against Kagome's equally bare thigh.

Kagome turned to face Sango and her breath got caught in her throat. 'What's happening?' She thought to herself.

"Kagome... I- I've been wanting to do this for a very long time" Sango said determinedly.

Liquid courage propelled Sango's lips firmly to her own and Kagome hesitantly allowed her tongue to ease pass her lips and into Sango's eagerly awaiting mouth.

They both moaned out and Sango's hand made its way up Kagome's skirt. Her finger traced at the edge of her panties and Kagome let out a strangled gasp.

"Sa- Sango wha-?" She couldn't finish the question. Sango silenced her with another kiss and said, "Just relax Kagome."

Kagome sighed and allowed herself to enjoy the sensations.

Sango played with Kagome's clit through her panties and Kagome squeezed her thighs firmly around Sango's wrist as she arched her back in satisfaction.

"Ah- ah San- I'm gonna-" Sango continued her ministrations and allowed a single digit to sink pass Kagome's wet folds and into her warm pussy.

Kagome kissed Sango hard and her hands began to roam and fondle her friend's breast.

Sango pumped and twirled her small digit inside of Kagome as she relished in the feel of her lips against her own. She leaned into Kagome's roaming hands and allowed her access to her bare flesh.

"Oh Kagome." She sighed.

Sango could feel Kagome's walls clenching around her finger. She pulled away from her and sucked her single digit clean before kissing Kagome again.

Nervously Kagome began massaging Sango's pussy. Sango relaxed and guided Kagome's hand inside her panties.

To Kagome's surprise, Sango was soaking wet. She used her thumb to play with her bundle of nerves then eased two fingers inside her. Sango moaned out loud and grabbed Kagome's hand, pressing it closer to her greedy cunt, and Kagome forcefully finger fucked her friend.

"Oh my Kami Kagome." She whispered. "I'm gonna cum. I'm gonna cum oh god I'm cumming"

Kagome felt Sango's vagina clamp around her fingers and Kissed her tenderly before removing her fingers and wiping them clean on a napkin.

Kagome sat back, fixed her skirt and began to slightly sober up.

"Wow." Kagome said aloud. She leaned back against the leather sofa and looked in Sango's direction.

"So what now?" Sango's eyes fluttered open and she looked at Kagome's relaxed form. Smiling weakly she said "There are many places I'd like this relationship to go... but I don't want to force you to make a decision you aren't certain about. After all I can't ignore the chemistry you share with Sesshoumaru." She laughed half-heartedly. "I also don't want to stop being friends. Let's table this discussion and try to chalk it up to being drunk okay?"

Kagome laughed while scratching the back of her head and nodded in agreement.

….

A/N: I think the overall flow and progression of the relationship between Sango and Kagome is a little less "out of nowhere" now.
