...Middle of Sango's One Week Leave of Absence ...

The young lawyer squinted her eyes in an effort to shield them from the bright lights as she made her way down the white hallway only to stop at the receptionist's desk.

"I'm here to see Kohaku Taji." She said.

"And your name?" The older woman behind the desk queried.

"Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."

"That's K-A-G-O-M-E?"

Kagome nodded in response as the woman continued.

"How do I spell that last name sweet heart?"

"H-I-G-U-R-A-S-H-I." The blue eyed woman spelled.

"Okay look here at the camera… 1, 2,3."

The flash caught Kagome off guard as she blinked away the light from her irritated eyes and grabbed the visitor badge from the old woman.

"Room 762, it's almost as soon as you exit the elevator on the 7th. Floor."

"Thank you!" Kagome called back as she made her way to the elevator.

….

"Ugh! How long do I have to stay here!?" Kohaku exclaimed agitatedly.

"Until the doctor says everything is okay." Sango responded calmly not once looking up from her magazine.

"I'm fine sis! Just tell him you're checking me out. I have a soccer game Friday and I really shouldn't be missing practice." He begged the older young woman.

"Honestly Kohaku? You're really thinking about soccer right now? You need to relax and get some rest. I'm not sure if you should be on the field so soon after a serious scare like this any way I think it's probably best for you to just si-."

"Knock, knock!" Came Kagome's interruption as she peeped her head through the partially opened door.

"Thank Kami! Kagome tell Sango I'll be fine!" Kohaku pleaded to Kagome.

Laughing nervously she responded, "I'm sure you will be, but I think we should let the doctors decide that and then see what Sango has to say, after all she's only looking out for you."

She walked over to his bed, placed a chaste kiss on his forehead before handing him a Hershey's bar.

"I got your favorite, as punishment for Sango being a worry wart you don't have to share."

He let out a puff of air before thanking Kagome and carefully took the candy bar from her hand.

Sango was still silent at this point and Kagome looked back at her expectantly.

"It's good to see you… How've you been holdin' up?"

Sango met Kagome's eyes seemingly going into deep thought before replying, "I've been better, but I can't complain."

"Hey Kou, you mind if I steal your sister for a sec?"

Not turning away from the television and taking an angry bite of his chocolate he said, "Yea, whatever."

Kagome walked over to the door then looked at Sango before saying, "You mind? I really wanted to get this off my chest before I lost the nerve."

Sango nodded once before rising from her seated position. "Don't cause any trouble while we're gone Kohaku." She said as she met Kagome at the door.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He waved dismissively.

The two young women walked in silence for a moment before they came to an empty break room intended for hospital guests.

Pulling a chair from the table, Kagome took a seat before beginning.

"I've missed you." Sango met Kagome's eyes awkwardly before nodding her head in agreement.

"And I'm sorry for how distant I've been… I just—I didn't know how to 'talk' about what happened without things being weird. I fear that avoiding things only made everything worse."

"Yea…" Sango began. "Listen Kagome. I've been sorting through some things in my head and I don't know if I have all the answers, but after talking to Miroku I've—"

"Oh Kami, your perverted friend you talk about?" Kagome interrupted.

Sango blinked. She had honestly forgotten she had shared tales from her high school life with the woman before her.

"Yea, that Miroku." She laughed a little before continuing, "When he's not being a hentai he's actually quite profound. Talking to him helped me sort through a few things regarding you." She paused momentarily before continuing. "You've become very important to me. I never had a sister or any close female relatives and my mom died when I was still a teenager. So I'm a bit at a loss when it comes to the way I feel about you. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I confused my feelings for romantic ones... I-... I care about you and I respect you so much Kagome. My heart swells with admiration every time I see you tell one of those jack asses at the office off…"

Sango trailed off with a nervous laugh. "I never want to see you hurt and I want you to know that you're extremely important to me. I just think I jumped the gun a little and didn't know how to process what I was feeling." She finished

Tears began to well up in Kagome's eyes as she took in every word Sango said. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I love you Sango, and I'm sorry it took me so long to confront you about 'this'. We've wasted a lot of time dancing around the topic…" Kagome shifted uncomfortably in her chair before dabbing her eyes dry. "You're my best friend and I never want to lose you."

Sango stood from her position across the table and pulled Kagome into a friendly hug. They both felt like a huge weight had lifted from the atmosphere as they pulled apart from one another.

"So tell me what I've missed?" Sango said cheerfully as Kagome obliged her and began updating her on the happenings around the firm and her 'relationship/ arrangement with Sesshoumaru.

….

"You did what!?" The silver headed hanyou yelled into the receiver of his phone.

Sesshoumaru already regretted calling his half-brother about the raven haired onna. Sighing He began speaking.

"You don't have to yell into the phone Inuyasha, I am far from hard of hearing.

"Yea whatever. I can't believe you exposed yourself to a human! What were you thinking? She could tell others."

"She has nothing to gain from exposing this one's secret. I feel like I can trust her. Aside from that, I doubt anyone would actually believe her if she did decide to tell someone."

"I really do hope that you're right man. What spell did she put on your frigid ass to make you so open?" Inuyasha finished with a laugh.

Sesshoumaru growled into the phone before hanging up on his father's insufferable 'love' child.

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk contemplating his feelings for the woman that occupied his thoughts. Perhaps he was his father's son after all for he was considering making the ningen onna a regular part of his daily routine.

The handsome daiyoukai stood from his desk and began pacing in his office before he was interrupted by a young brown eyed girl.

"I- I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but Ms. Higurashi asked me to give you these files. She also said she'd be calling you to gain your opinion about her new case along with some other personal matters."

Sesshoumaru nodded and said "Thank you Miss?"

"Oh I'm sorry! Rin! I'm Rin!" She scrambled over to the intimidating platinum blonde haired man with her hand stretched before her.

Sesshoumaru eyed the girl curiously before shaking her small hand.

"What happened to Sango?" He asked.

"Oh, well she's out for the week. I'm filling in for her temporarily."

When Rin was met with silence she excused herself from his office and left Sesshoumaru to his own devices.

'So Ms. Taji has attempted to separate herself from Kagome. I wonder how long it will be before things are settled between those two?' He thought to himself.

Happy to have an excuse to see the raven haired onna he began going over the file on his desk.

…..

Kagome was roused from her thoughts by one sharp knock at her door. Looking at her watch she noticed it was 9PM. 'Who could that be at this hour?' She thought to herself

Making her way over to the front door she stood on her toes to peek out the peep hole. Recognizing the person at her door she removed the chain and opened the door.

"Showing up unannounced now are we?" Kagome teased. "My other lover could have been here."

Sesshoumaru growled before speaking, "If I'm not mistaken you asked for this one's opinion on this." He said referencing the file folder in his hand.

"Sure, that's why you came over at 9PM on a weekday. We could have talked about that over the phone." Kagome said with a smile removing the file from his hold.

"Did you speak with Miss. Taji?" Sesshoumaru probed.

"Yes I did." She responded absent mindedly while making her way over to her bedroom.

Sesshourmaru followed her to the bed room waiting for her to say more. Sensing his presence behind her she said, "Such an eager puppy Mr. Tanaka. If you must know, things went well. I met her at the hospital and we cleared the air." As she finished her sentence she plopped down on her bed.

"Now, how else may I be of service to you tonight?"

"Hn… I can think of a few ways." He said seductively as he crawled over her petite frame and locked her between his body and the bed.

He kissed her soundly before she could protest and began removing her clothes hastily.

"I've been thinking about this all day." He said between kisses. He began paying close attention to her breasts with his mouth and allowed his hand to find the delicate pearl between her legs.

She gasped and squirmed in pleasure before whispering, "I don't think this could ever get old." He simply grunted in approval as he brought pleasure to her body.

Once he was satisfied with her wetness he removed his pants and coated his erection with her essence before easing into her warmth.

"You belong to this Sesshoumaru." He said through clenched fangs as he allowed his true appearance to surface. His eyes bled red and the markings of his heritage situated themselves on his face and various other parts of his body.

"Sesshou, please… fuck me." Kagome called out.

"Tell me you belong to me." He growled.

"Please. please…" She begged.

"Say it!"

"I- I belong to you." As the words fell from her lips he surged forward, flexing hips and propelling himsef deeper and deeper into her soaked treasure.

"YES! Sesshoumaru! So- so good."

His manhood filled her entire womb. She could feel the pressure of his dick pressing against her g-spot. Each thrust was more pleasurable than the last and she felt herself become undone beneath him.

As her climax tore through her body she felt her walls tighten around his hard cock. "Oh Kami Sesshoumaru it feels so good!" She screamed. Sesshoumaru maintained his pace bringing himself closer to the edge. When he felt his orgasm approach he slowed his tempo in an effort to prolong the inevitable.

"You like it when my dick fills you up?" He whispered into her ear as he pulled her lobe between his teeth.

"Ye-yes." She moaned. Looking at him in his red eyes she wrapped her leg tighter around his waist and said, "Cum for me."

Sesshoumaru lost himself in her depths and as he reached his peak he removed his dick from her pussy and came all over her stomach.

He collapsed atop her, careful not to crush her with his weight.

….

Sesshoumaru and Kagome lay in her bed a few short moments later in comfortable silence.

"I've been meaning to tell you… but I never find the right words or the perfect timing but…" She paused.

"Speak onna." He encouraged.

"I've been thinking about leaving the firm." She stated.

Sesshoumaru's form stiffened for a moment under hers before he relaxed again.

"I would not like you to leave, but I suppose I can only tell you to do what you feel is best for your career." He supplied.

"I figured you'd say as much… The problem is none of the firms that have been recruiting me seem worth me sacrificing my current comfort at H, S & W..."

After a few moments of silence Kagome began again. "What do you think about starting a Law Firm together?"

Sesshoumaru sat in silence as he weighed his options. Seemingly thinking out loud he said, "We would end up spending a lot of hours together."

"That's not a problem is it?" She questioned.

"Only if it is one for you." He said honestly. "Allow me some time to consider?"

At her nod he leaned his head down toward her to capture her lips.

"I told my brother about you." He said suddenly.

Kagome rose from her position on his chest to get a better look at him. "So, what does that mean?" She asked.

He studied her for a long moment before saying, "I am at ease in your presence. I can trust you and I like you a bit more than most others. I—The thought of another man… or woman touching you intimately makes my beast roar in disproval. I've never felt this way with any other. I would like to be your only lover."

Kagome smiled as she leaned to kiss him. "I don't have an issue with that." Once the kiss broke she asked, "So does this mean we are together?"

At his nod she straddled his lap and kissed him passionately. She felt her nether regions moisten and Sesshoumaru growled in appreciation when the scent of her arousal reached his nose.

"I can't get enough of you." She muttered through clenched teeth as she eased herself onto his massive erection. He gripped her hips and allowed her to ride him slowly.
