Chapter 5
I went through three stores looking for two things. A good deal and something decent to wear. I left my purse and only had my bill folder under my arm with some of the cash from those stacks of money. I kept looking over my shoulder feeling like someone was following me. My paranoia was kicking up again.
I found a really cute pink dress that was basically a two in one dress. My kind of deal. The main part was a strapless sweetheart neckline that came to my upper thigh and the detachable chiffon material skirt covered up my leg to look like it had a long split. It also had a sparkle silver band that went across my middle. I fell in love with that dress, tried it own and I had to admit, I looked good.
I moved on to another store that sold shoes. I found two silver Mary Jane style heels that was calling my name. I tried them both and fell in love with them. They made my feet pretty and made my ass look great.
"Wow, those shoes look great on your feet."
"I know! But I have only one pair of feet but it's like splitting up a family."
"I know what you mean. Let me see if I have another color. What color would you like."
"See if you have a pale pink size 7."
The sales girl went to the back and I purred at my soon to be new babies.
"Ma'am you are in luck we have a pair of those shoes in pale pink size 7," the girl said cheerfully.
"Ring up both pair for her," a deep sensual voice said behind me.
Ok, some male specimen said the words that I have never heard said to me. I turned and blushed. It wasn't that same man from earlier. Ok I am not going to be vain here but I know I am attractive. Don't let my lack of sex fool you. I just have an unattainable standard that makes it next to impossible to get in these panties. Still what is up with this guy? Buying both pair of shoes? He must of had sisters, trying out a new way to get in girls pants or is gay and wants my precious, my pretties?
...
I am going to say all and the above.
The sales girl nodded and I believe skipped to the register to ring me up.
I took the shoes off in exchange for my old faithful and grabbed my dress. I walked to the counter not talking to the man. I still need the shoes hell.
"That will be $957.98 please. Cash or credit?"
I wasn't paying but still had a mini heart attack. The guy just shook his head and opened his wallet. Didn't blink, say are you fucking serious? Because that was what was going through my head.
He handed her a Black card from American Express. I kept my expression from looking impressed. He smirked because he knew or he could smell my impressness.
Yup new word for today.
She had already bagged the shoes and ran the card. She was waiting on the receipt and I grabbed the bag. I left them and went for my car. I wasn't waiting around to see what I would have to do for $957.98 for my precious, my pretties.
When I left the building I heard her say, "thank you Mr. and Mrs. Davenport please come back again."
I booked it out there and for once I was happy there was a lot of people around. I placed my sunglasses on and walked around to confuse my whereabouts. When I felt that I had confused him and myself I went for my car. I got there and the bastard from earlier was waiting there. I don't think he saw me but I saw him. I turned to head back to the shoe store and Daddy Warbucks was looking for me.
Why are strange men after me? Again not being vain but come on! The Higurashi charm does not have a switch off button.
I stopped and turned to where there was taxi cabs waiting and decided to take a taxi home. I figured when I was done with Mr. Onigumo I would come and get my car back. Or I could get Miroku to come and get my car. I think I will do that instead.
Sorry Bubbles! Take one for the team! Mommy loves you!
45 minutes later and a $20 cab fare home plus a $50 tip to stay
I had the driver wait for me while I went inside to quickly shower, do some braid thing to my hair, whip some make up on my face and put on my dress and heels. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I was really proud of myself. I managed to grab my lipgloss, lipstick, gum, USB drive, i.d., taser, foldable flats and real phone. I placed all that in my silver purse with some of the money from the bank. I left the rest I had on me in my safe at home. I sent Miroku a text about getting my car and taking it to his house. Making sure that he doesn't have a tail on him.
Pervy Partner: Kagome you and your over active imagination. Need to stop reading those crime/drama books.
Me: Ok, as soon as you give up Playboy and Hustler.
Pervy Partner: Touche.
Me: That is what I thought.
"Good evening ma'am, welcome to Eleven Blvd. Do you have a reservation or party here today?"
"I am here for the party of Onigumo."
She checked and found him I guess. She lead me to the back of the swanky restaurant. Everyone was dressed up like prom but for adults. I'm glad I went with the dress.
"Mr. Onigumo the rest of your party is here. Your waitress should be here momentarily. Enjoy your time with us," the hostess said and left.
He stood and grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it.
"Mrs. Higurashi, it is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face. You look amazing this evening. Your dress, I'm surprise your husband let you walk out the house looking very delectable."
"I am not married, but thank you for your compliment," I said and took the seat he pulled out for me.
"So I take it your day was good?" Mr. Onigumo trying to make small talk.
"It was as normal as one would expect. I do wish to apologize for my tardiness this morning. It was a mistake and I hope that you won't hold that tiny mishap on my company."
"Think nothing of it. Do you have anything to show me? How and what do I need for your company to help me find a new house. Also do you sell houses?"
I reached in my purse and brought out my cellphone that has all of my notes, presentation slides, pictures, and numbers that I wanted to show him earlier today.
Yes I am a well organized person. Just today was a damn fluke. I went through some properties that I have available for immediate move-in and contractors that I am friends with who is selling property for interested investors. I had condos, bungalows and townhouses in the city. When talking about business I can't seem to shut up.
While he was pointing at a picture on my phone I had noticed a spider tattoo that was on his right wrist. I just filed that away of facts of Naraku Onigumo in my head.
1 hour and 45 minutes later...drinks, food and more talking later.
I finally had real food. Eleven Blvd is a really nice restaurant well more like a lounge. It's a very exclusive place and Who's Who of Harbor Valley. Looking around I noticed a lot of faces that I saw in my office this afternoon through still shots. The police chief and his wife was having dinner or drinks with the mayor and his wife.
Go Figure.
Sesshomaru and Kagura Takahashi was eating dinner and not talking. Nothing newsworthy about that.
I then looked further down and some guy was sitting by himself. He looked awfully familiar but I couldn't place his face.
"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Davenport."
I remembered from that sales girl. I looked closer and that guy's face came to mind.
Omy god that was Suikotsu Davenport. Why in the hell did he buy my shoes? Could he possibly be the one that owns. Well, use to own that in the safe deposit box? I wonder if he knew my dirty little secret and wanted to repay me by buying my shoes in exchange for his stuff?
"So what do you say? Would you like to accompany to me to my house so you can see what you are going to have to put on the market? I can drive us there."
"Huh? I mean yes, I would be delighted! I just need to make one phone call to my brother. I need him to pick up my car and take it home."
"Of course. I will pay the check and meet you outside."
"Yes, please excuse me."
He stood up and I laid my napkin down and grabbed my purse. I walk to the restroom for some form of privacy.
I followed the neon lights and made it there. Thankfully it was empty. I checked under the stalls to make sure I was alone.
I tell you this paranoia is something else.

"Come on bastard answer the damn phone!"
Ring Ring
RIng RIng
"Hello?"
"Miroku?"
"The one and only. What's up Kags?"
"Well I am calling to tell you that we have a new client and that I need a huge favor from you!"
"Yes! I knew you could do it! Higurashi charm once again never fails! What is it that you need for me to do?"
"I need you to go to Harbor Acre Strip Mall and go get Bubbles before they impound him."
"Why is your death trap still at the mall and not with you?"
"Long story short, a man bought me two pair of expensive shoes. To avoid the dubbed name, The Weird One, and let him know that I don't suck dick for shoes monologue. I ditched him and Bubbles there and took a cab to make it early to the restaurant."
"Wow! I am speechless."
"Welcome to the club buddy. You wouldn't guess who bought my shoes."
"Koga DeVaul?"
"Who?"
"He is a notorious heartthrob playboy that buys women expensive gifts in exchange for sex and being his eye candy for a night. I guess the Grapevine didn't inform you of that."
"I have to ask Barb. I saw her this evening! I guess I should have went to go speak. Plus Kagura and Sesshomaru. It's just weird. I know their dirty little secrets but I can't say anything especially how I came across the dirt. But anyway guess!"
"Kagome I am trying to watch this football game that my team is losing horribly at. Just tell me."
"I thought you has a hot date with your wife?"
"Her dad got sick. You are missing the point, tell me."
"Suikotsu Davenport."
"But isn't he married? Or going through a divorce with the ice queen Tsubaki Tresse? The soap opera actress who is being written off of her show she pitched to the Takahashi studios. I think its called, Demon Mask: The Struggle of Transgression."
"Where are you getting your sources from?"
"My wife's magazines that are on the back of the toilet. Easy reads. Plus my mom. She makes the best chicken salad pecan sandwiches and is friends with a secretary who works there."
"I really need to take Barb out for drinks!"
"Anyway! Why was that important to tell me?"
"Well all day today I have been running into some strange dude or seeing him everywhere! Remember I told you this in the office. Like he is following me or something! Then I got to Sinner's Paradise to try on some shoes and it's another guy. Like he knew me or something. He bought them and didn't blink an eye when the sales girl told him to shell out almost a grand for some shoes who isn't his wife. My paranoia has been acting up. Plus I am about to be on my way to Naraku's house because he wants me to sell his old one. I am going to take pictures so we can post some on our website and know what we are working with."
"Kagome, how did your life get so complicated. But ok, send them over and take some video. There is a virtual tour that we can set up for potential buyers to get a feel of walking in his house. Make sure to get the attic, basement, kitchen, bathrooms, and if he allows the bedroom. Closets too. Women make their entire decision on how a closet looks like. No porn please."
"Miroku really! Eww! Anyway I need to go bye. Don't forget to get my car!"
"I won't, I got a spare key and my insurance is paid up. It will be at my house."
"Miroku really? Anyway, bye."
I hung up the phone and looked at myself in the mirror. I shuffled my boobs around because the dress was getting twisted. I reapplied some lipstick and was about to leave the bathroom. A woman came in with the same colored dress and I turned to see if I recognized the designer. She was too fast. She went into a stall. I tried leaving and making sure that I had everything in my purse. I wasn't looking when I opened the door and at the same time pushed back inside the now dark room.
I started to scream but the person had my mouth closed and his arm around my waist and his legs spread apart. He had me against the wall where my back was against him. He leaned in and licked my neck. My hands were on the wall trying to push him off of me. It wasn't working, damn shoes.
I tried to kick him in his jewels but the way he had me I was defenseless.
"You stole something that belongs to me. I was trying to be nice but you are such a fucking tease bitch. You know dear, seeing you with that other man got me jealous. Is that what you was aiming for Kikyo?"
"Mmfreyo?" Trying to say Kikyo with my mouth covered.
"Myfhds ehyg nhhsj Mmfreyo!" I said my name isn't Kikyo.
"I should just take you like the bitch you are. You smell different Kikyo," the man said and licked my neck again.
I wanted to throw up. Like seriously who does that?
"I need for you to feel something Kikyo."
I heard the sound of a zipper being undone from behind me and then this hard rod rubbing up and down between my covered ass cheeks. I went totally ballistic!
He leaned his body almost crushing my ribs into the wall.
"You did this to me, this dress you have on. Those shoes you picked a good pair. When I fuck you, keep these on. Bye love, don't keep Naraku waiting and make sure to get good pictures of his secrets. We need more blackmail material."
He kissed me again on my neck. I heard him zip up his pants and left. I waited a few more moments and turned the lights on. I didn't allow myself to cry. I will save that for later. I straighten out my dress and hair. I checked my makeup and freshen that up and went outside.
I should have fucking stayed at home today! Getting almost raped and manhandled wasn't a Bucket List goal of things to do before I died!
A/N: not beta read
