When I wearily opened the front door after a particularly long & exhausting day, I raised my head to find Inuyasha triumphantly holding up a large gym bag & a big duffel bag, his ears twitching happily.

"Ta-da! Found them in the dumpster"

I locked the door & tossed my things onto the couch. "& it's enough to fit all of our food & water?"

"Yep! The water bottles can go in this duffel bag & the food can go in this one here but this one's still wet"

I raised an eyebrow as he lightly shook the gym bag. "Why is it wet?"

"Well I had to wash it out. Looked like there was barf at the bottom or something & it smelled like old pasta & pig guts left out in the sun for a couple of days"

I actually had to fight the bile that had begun to rise in my throat & hurriedly walked into the kitchen to get some water.

"Hey what about our clothes, what will we put them in?" Inuyasha asked from the living room.

I came back & sat in my chair. "I took two bags from the department but it's in my locker"

Inuyasha sighed & sat down himself, looking at me expectantly. "Not gunna lie Sessh, I'm kind of scared"

"You shouldn't be"

"But I mean what if we get caught? We'll be given to the zombies without a second's thought, man. I don't know if this is the right thing to do"

"Yasha, we can't stay here. You're bound to be caught sooner or later. & speaking of which, how in the hell did you leave this apartment without being caught? & I'm pretty sure you didn't lock the door behind you!"

"Hey, hey, calm down. All the nights I snuck out when Mom & Dad were sleeping, I'm practically a pro"

I glared at him & he shrugged. "The women were begging for me"

I rolled my eyes; most of the girls that flocked to him were rejected by me but I didn't want to say that out loud. "We need a set day to leave so that leaves less of a chance to be caught"

"I say next Tuesday after you get paid. You get your money, come here, help me carry some things to the car & then we're off"

I honestly couldn't argue with that, it sounded like a good idea. "Next Tuesday it is"

There were three knocks at the door & Inuyasha gathered the bags & jogged into the bedroom while I went & opened the door to reveal an annoyed looking Kagura.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

"Hey, nice to see you too. How have you been?"

"Cut the bullshit, Sesshomaru, where have you been? We haven't seen or heard from you in two weeks"

I leaned against the doorframe, sighing. "I got busy"

Her eyebrows raised & she crossed her arms. "I bet you have, big boy. Who's the lucky girl?"

"What? Who said there was a woman in my life?"

"Well someone is keeping you busy unless it's just you & your hand"

"I never said there was anyone in my life"

"Then what the hell has you so busy?"

"What's with this interrogation? Last time I checked my mom was a zombie & didn't give a shit what has me so fucking busy!"

Kagura lowered her eyebrows so that they furrowed right above her nose, her button lips turned down at the ends, but then she smirked, one eyebrow raising seductively. "You have balls. I like that"

Now it was my turn to cross my arms & frown. "Excuse me?"

"No man has ever had the audacity to try & put me in my place, if you will. They always found me intimidating & a frigid bitch"

"I find you annoying & bossy" I murmured, surprised when she let out a husky laugh which melted into a slightly embarassed face.

"Sorry...about your moth-"

I waved it off irritably. I didn't tell her to gain sympathy, it just slipped.

After an uncomfortable silence Kagura looked up at me sheepishly. "May I come in?"

I sighed & rolled my eyes but let her step in, closing the door behind her. "Why are you here anyway?"

"I wanted to see how you were doing" she responded, looking around, "You made us all wonder when you left so suddenly the other night at the bar"

'The night I saw Inuyasha on TV...'. "& you were the only one who cared enough to come & check up on me?"

"They are afraid of you" Kagura murmured, turning to me & brushing her bangs out of her face, "You refuse to open up & you don't realize how suspicious that makes you"

I frowned. "Had they ever considered that maybe I just don't have anything to say about myself?"

Before she could answer there was a heavy thump & a gasp with a swear laced in it & Kagura looked over her should towards the bedroom then looked back at me. "What was that?"

I mentally cursed Inuyasha out & wish he'd sit down somewhere & be quiet. "Clumsy neighbors"

"Right..."

I looked away from her smoldering glare, pretending I was cleaning my claws. Was she really here to check up on me? I really can't think of any other explaination but I think she had other intentions. She didn't know me well enough to be concerned with my well-being.

"You know..." she purred, looking me up & down slowly, "You have a really nice body..."

I felt my face grow uncomfortablly hot. 'Dear God...'

I happened to glance up & Kagura's lips were on mine, warm & soft, one set of her claws twisting into my hair, the other on my forearm. My first instinct was to push her away but then I noticed for a "frigid bitch" she was...very warm...& smelled really good...like spicy, warm apples & honey-

I put my hands on her shoulders leaning back. "Kagura, what are you doi-"

"Just relax" she purred, slipping her hand under my shirt, "You look like you could really use a good lay"

"What the fu-"

She shushed me with another heated kiss, her claws lightly raking up & down my torso. I had to admit, it felt pretty good & she was doing a job of turning me on so I let her have her way. I wrapped one arm around her waist & used the other hand to cup her cheek, licking her bottom lip to signal I wanted entry. She complied after a few moments of convincing & I ran my tongue along the roof of her mouth, the insides of her cheeks & over her tongue. She tasted like spearmint. I never knew such a fragrance would be such a turn-on.

Kagura unbuttoned my shirt & then slowly pulled it off, lightly running her fingertips over my newly exposed skin & raising goosebumps on my arms. From there she took my hand & placed it on her breast, giving me a pleading sort of look but she didn't look submissive by any means. It was like she was demanding me to fuck her.

'So is this why she came over here...?'

I lost that train of thought as she ran her hands up my chest & around my neck, pulling me down for another kiss & I automatically reached down & grabbed her ass. I hadn't actually meant to, my hands just kind of...went there & squeezed like they had a mind of their own. I felt her smiling through our kiss so I figured it was a good move.

I heard a shuffling noise & opened my eyes to see Inuyasha gaping at me, a lecherous grin on his face as he made a show of humping the air. I furrowed my eyebrows & pointing towards the bedroom but he just continued his humping & pretended to stroke himself which made one side of my mouth rise in disgust. Kagura stilled & pulled back, looking up at me with questioning eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked, her voice husky.

I looked down at her, noticing Inuyasha dive behind the couch in the corner of my eye. "Nothing"

She gave me another once over before giving me a sly smile & pulling me towards the couch where she laid me on top of her & began working on leaving a hickey on my neck. Had Inuyasha not been in the apartment, much less the room, I would've been moaning but I had to settle for soft grunts. I've always loved it when a woman open-mouth kissed my neck; it sent chills & heat down my spine, raised goosebumps on my arms & sent fire rushing through my veins & into my groin.

Her fingers eventually found their way to my pants & she began to quickly unbutton them, plunging her hand in when she succeeded.

"Oh...shit..." I half moaned, half whispered.

She began stroking me in a slow, almost languid way but it was driving me crazy. I felt the urge to rip her pants off & fuck her until she called me daddy but...no, if I thought about it I was going to get turned off then Kagura would think I needed Viagra or something-

My eyes flickered open & I happened to see Inuyasha peeking at me over the armrest of the couch, his eyes twinkling though I don't think I want to know why. I narrowed my eyes at him & mouthed, "Go away" but he only grinned mischievously.

"My, you're a big boy" Kagura purred throatily from under me, "Does it ever stop growing?"

From the restraint it took for Inuyasha to hold his laugh back I assumed my face was beet-red. How the hell do you reply to something like that? Or was that a rhetorical question? I'm going to pretend it was the latter & just shut her up with a kiss. This was why sex was usually quick for me: women talked to much & damn I hate blushing!

Kagura rolled her hips up to meet mine & I almost bit her tongue off trying to hold back the moan that bubbled up my throat. She moaned as she sucked my bottom lip which I found so sexy I felt like I was on fire & melting. It was weird because I didn't have feelings for this woman but she was enticing much more feelings from me than any of my past girlfriends.

I reached down & lightly ran my hand over her breasts, smirking when her nipples hardened, down her belly & into her pants, where I unbuttoned them with one hand & reached in, searching for that one thing that sent women into a sexual frenz-

"Oh my God yes" Kagura moaned, eyes rolling in the back of her head.

I smiled. Bingo.

I slowly rubbed her clitoris in a circular motion, busying my mouth by nibbling & sucking on her neck. Her back arched high & her breathy moans were becoming louder but I didn't mind. I rather enjoyed a woman to be vocal, as that was an indicator as to how well I was doing.

I inhaled sharply, her lovely scent filling my senses, when she began raking her claws up my back. My eyes fluttered closed in escasty. God that felt so good. I plunged my finger into her wet vagina, shivering in delight at how warm & wet she was & continued rubbing her clit with my thumb. Her hands became restless & fluttered from my hair to hers then proceeded to squeeze her breasts, pinching her nipples as her eyes rolled & she licked her lips.

'Damn she was sexy...'

"Oh my God...oh my God that feels so...mmmmm fuck Sesshomaru..."

When I flicked the finger that was inside her upwards her back arched higher & she let out a short, falsetto moan so I did it again, smirking when no sound feel from her opened mouth. I could do this to her & stare at her face all day, she was so beautiful. The faces she made were as much of a turn on than her actually touching me-

"Oh shit...oh shit I'm coming...I'm c-coming..."

I nuzzled her neck, nipping her ear. I wasn't really ready for her to come yet but this wasn't the most comfortable position, being that most of my weight was supported on one arm that was trapped under her ass & was begining to fall asleep.

I licked the shell of her ear slowly, making sure to breathe gently into it. "Give it to me" I whispered huskily.

& boy did she. I had never met a woman that could squirt quite like Kagura could. Of course I've helped women acheive some of the best orgasms & have been with a few who have squirted but I swear I wasn't sure if she was pissing or not, there was so much. But by the smell it was definitely cum & I was definitely turned on by those waterworks.

Kagura panted where she lay, her eyes closed & a little smile on her face. "That...was amazing"

Before I could reply she grabbed my hand, the one that was still in her panties & resting comfortablly against her warmth & brought it up to her mouth, & slowly sucking her essence off of my fingers...one...by...one.

Needless to say that got me ready for another round but she sat up after she finished & buttoned her pants then pulled me to her for a quick kiss that tasted like her delicious nectar.

"I'll see you around" she said against my lips, smirking then showed herself to the door.

Oh. My. God.

When the door closed Inuyasha's head popped up over the armrest & he burst out laughing. "Dude! You said that wasn't your girlfriend! What the fuck, man?"

I exhaled slowly & turned to lie on my back. "She's not"

"Oh my God you mean to tell me she just raped you? You lucky son of a bitch! Was that even planned?"

"Not at all"

Inuyasha head came into my line of vision again & he slapped my arm excitedly. "Dude! I can't believe you're not stoked about what just happened!"

"Hardly. I'm still horny" I hadn't actually meant to say that but it wasn't like he couldn't see that.

"I would've fucked her. I mean like dude I could smell her from over there. My mouth was watering like someone was cooking a damn steak"

I sighed & stood, running my fingers through my hair. "I'm going to my room"

"What? After that you're just going to go to your room? What the hell are you going to do, knit a fucking sweater you old biddy?"

"I'm going to masterbate. See you in the morning"

.

..

...

I spent probably the next four hours, masterbating to the images of Kagura in my head. It wasn't something I was necessarily ashamed of but it was kind of disappointing how she just left before I was satisfied though it's not like she was obligated to, which brought me to my next train of thought: what does that make us now?

As I lay panting heavily on my bed, spent, satisfied & hungry, my legs & right arm twitching, I thought about how I was supposed to act around her now. Am I supposed to give her a lecherous smile & a wink or just act like it never happened in case she didn't want to be in a relationship? I frowned. Was I just intended to be her booty call? Apparently it was something that we needed to discuss because I had no idea.

Around six in the evening there was more knocking at the front door. I had already taken a shower & cleaned up so I darted to the door & gave Inuyasha a look when I caught him top-toeing to the door.

"Oh come on!" he whispered, rolling his eyes but retreated back to the bedroom.

I opened the door & was surprised to see Kagome & Sango there, looking sheepish.

"Hello" I said though it sounded more like a question.

"Hi Sesshomaru" Kagome said in her soft, slightly annoying voice.

"Hey umm...we were wondering what you were doing today" Sango said, ducking her head, "We haven't seen you in so long, we were a bit worried about you"

"That's why you waited more than two weeks to visit?" I said smoothly. I didn't want it to sound like an accusation though it still had the bite to it. Both of their heads sunk a bit more into their shoulders.

"We...I thought you were upset with us" Sango said meekly

"When you left in a hurry that night at the bar...we didn't know what was going on" Kagome admitted.

I rolled my eyes upwards. "What can I do for you ladies today?"

"Well we were hoping you'd come hang out with us today" Sango spoke up, raising her head to meet my eyes, "We figured maybe you might be a bit lonely or something"

Hardly. I didn't feel like hanging out but I figured getting out for a bit would help me sort through my thoughts a bit. "Sure, I'll grab my keys"

Both women stepped forward as if I had invited them & I sighed, leaving the door open for them. I didn't want to be rude & tell them to wait for me outside even though this was only going to take a momen-

"Hey Sessh who was tha-ohh...shit"

My eyes widened as Inuyasha came sauntering out of the bedroom & froze as Kagome & Sango stared at him with questioning eyes before realization dawned on them.

"Oh my God you're the guy that tried to rob that store!" Kagome nearly shouted.

I could see Inuyasha fidgeting & repeatedly murmuring, "Fuck" under his breath as he looked around uncomfortablly.

"What is he doing here?" Sango gasped, her eyes turning to me.

I looked at Inuyasha again before turning to her. "He's my brother"

"He's also a fugitive!" Kagome whispered, "The police are offering two thousand dollars for him!"

"Two thousa-oh shit Sessh" Inuyasha began pacing slowly, his breathing picking up.

"I know he's a fugitive" I stated, ignoring his impending anxiety attack for now, "Which is why I have him here with me, where I can keep an eye on him"

"You do know you'll be considered an accomplice now right?" Sango said in a low voice, looking around as if someone might hear.

"Of course I know that" I said irritably, "It's a chance I'm willing to take for my flesh & blood!"

"Dude we have to say fuck next Tuesday. We gatta leave ASAP" Inuyasha whimpered, still pacing.

"Leave? To go where?" Kagome inquired.

"Fuck, Yasha, sit down already" I growled, getting annoyed.

"Are you leaving the city?" Sango squeaked.

"A horde is approaching the city, you can't leave now!" Kagome nearly shouted.

"I know-" I started.

"Dude fuck the paycheck, we don't need money if we have nothing to spend it on. Kill the witnesses & let's jet!" Inuyasha panted, the pitch of his voice rising.

"Kill the witnesses? You mean us? What the hell?" Sango demanded.

"We won't tell, we promise!" Kagome begged.

"That's what they all say & then next thing we know the police is surrounding us!" Inuyasha shouted, his voice now breathy & he began to weeze, his eyes glazing over as his anxiety attack began to take over.

"Everyone shut up!" I snapped & caught Inuyasha as he began to fall onto the couch

"Oh my God, does he have athsma?" Kagome asked, stepping forward.

"Back up!" I said, "Just stand over there on the other side of the room & be quiet for a moment!"

Sango & Kagome darted to the other side of the living room, their backs against the walls & watching Inuyasha & I with wide eyes while I spoke softly to my brother, gently rubbing his ears & whispering that it was ok, just calm down, I had things under control. After fifteen minutes his eyes came back into focus & his breathing slowed down to normal but he looked like he wanted to cry. His jaw muscle protruded as he fought against the urge & he sat up slowly.

"Sorry about that" he whispered to the women who made little noises as if to say that it was ok.

"Now" I started, "I think it goes without saying that I need you two to keep two things a secret: that Inuyasha is here & that we are leaving"

"Where in the hell do you plan to go? The horde is so close & the next gated city isn't for another 48 miles" Sango said, shifting her weight uncomfortablly.

Inuyasha's head dropped between his knees. "Fuck...fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck..."

"We have access to a car, it'll be fine" I responded.

"How do you hope to get it past the gates?" Kagome asked, "They have alarms on it & metal detectors"

I ran my hand over my face tiredly. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. "There has to be another way out than the front gate then"

Both women stared at the floor as they contemplated that & I slowly brought Inuyasha back from another anxiety attack, wishing I had paid more attention to alternate exits the day I searched the city for him.

"Miroku might know" Sango murmured to Kagome, reaching into her pocket for her phone

"Really?"

"Yeah he would know if there were any secret exits & whatnot or maybe he could even make one especially for us"

"But big enough to fit a car? I don't know about that Sango..."

"I have to try"

Sango's fingers flew furiously fast for a human's across the screen of her phone as she texted, her brows furrowed in concentration. After a moment she lowered the phone & stared at me with a look that was a cross between fear & excitment.

"So...this now means we're all accomplices...?"

I narrowed my eyes. "What did you tell him?"

"I just asked would he know of any exits from the city other than the gate in case there was an emergency"

Inuyasha gave me a panicked look. "He's gunna know, he's gunna ask questions & figure it out himself"

Sango scoffed. "Miroku is too dim-witted to figure out the reason why I asked that question"

Kagome grinned but Inuyasha & I were a bit skeptical still. Inuyasha's safety was in the hands of these two women who we didn't even know that well. Could we honestly trust them?

"Hey, apple!" said a disembodied voice, startling Inuyasha & Sango sheepishly pulled out her phone.

"I guess he replied..." she said in a shy voice. She read the text, frowning slightly before her fingers were once again flying across the screen.

"What'd he say?" Kagome asked, leaning towards the woman slightly.

"He said he does but it was emergency only" Sango answered distractedly.

"You mean it's an exit only the boss is allowed to use?"

Sango nodded, looking up at her with a annoyed expression. "Isn't that just ridiculous? Like the workers aren't even important"

While Kagome expressed how indeed ridiculous it was Inuyasha looked at me worriedly. "Sessh what are we gunna do?"

"We definitely have to leave earlier now that they know about you" I responded slowly, my thoughts whirring with plans & how to execute them, "I just don't think now is the right time"

"We could always leave this weekend"

I nodded. "If the horde hasn't reached the gates by that time. We have to time it so that we leave while the city is in chaos, trying to prepare for a possible break in & not notice us driving around but also before the horde gets here. Once the horde gets here there's no telling when we'd get a chance & that puts you even more at risk"

He nodded, his gaze falling as he thought that over & realizing it was a good plan (or he just couldn't think of anything better) then he looked up at Sango. "Ask him does he know about the time when the horde will get here"

Sango glanced at him for a moment then nodded, her fingers continuing to tap the screen quickly.

"I don't know about this guys" Kagome said uneasily, "Inuyasha hasn't been found for this long, maybe he can stay here a bit longer"

I noticed the way Inuyasha's eyes twinkled a bit & the corner of his mouth curled upwards.

This is not the time to be thinking about some girl! I thought irritably

"It's possible but it's only a matter of time" I stated & Inuyasha frowned at me.

"Beauty over there has a point. It's been, what, two weeks now? Don't they call it off after three or four weeks?"

I rolled my eyes, one reason because I noticed the girl blushing & digging the toe of her into the carpet like some schoolgirl & two because Inuyasha was willing to make himself look like an idiot to impress her. "Of course they don't stop looking for a criminal after three of four weeks, you moron! You tried to rob a store, they'll look for your ass as long as they have leads"

"They don't have any leads!" Inuyasha snapped.

"They have a damn video tape, they really don't need to know much else except where I live!"

"Well, hello, we're the only people who know that"

"& Kagura" I murmured, narrowing my eyes at him as he gave me a wide, suspiciously wicked smile

"Oh yeah she did come over here, didn't she?"

Sango looked up. "Kagura came over here by herself?"

"It was nothing" I brushed her off.

"I'd hardly call you two fingering each other 'nothing'" Inuyasha grumbled & I couldn't help but punch him in the face, only vaguely noticing both women gasping & gossiping excitedly.

"Sessh are you & Kagura dating or...?" Kagome trailed off, grinning.

"Or is she just your fuck buddy?" Sango bit out. I detected some bitterness in her voice but I couldn't understand why.

I sighed, dodging a punch Inuyasha directed at my face. "We're not dating & she's not my fuck buddy. We just so happened-" I ducked, dodging a powerful kick, "To mess around earlier. End of story"

"End of story, my ass!" Inuyasha shouted, "With all her moaning & groaning &, 'oh fuck me daddy' I'd say that bitch is coming back for some more sugar from her daddy real fucking soon!"

"She did not call me daddy & do not call her a bitch" I said with calm authority.

"Bet he calls all the chicks that" Kagome grumbled under her breath, looking away.

"Aw I don't, sweet cheeks. Kagura just ain't a lady, if ya know what I mean" Inuyasha cooed to her, going over to run his hand over her cheek, turning his charm on to 100%, "She likes that freaky shit, not to mention she handled Sessh's ass like a whore"

"She's not a whore!"

"She didn't handle my ass!" Sango & I both snapped at the same time.

Kagome went back to staring at the floor & blushing & Inuyasha raised his hands in a surrendering gesture. "Hey I'm not judging. If she wants to go around, fucking guys cause he's a pretty boy, by all means, fuck him & even though she did, Sessh, I'm not judging you either"

He ducked behind Kagome when a remote & a stiletto shoe came flying for his face, both of the youngsters snicking as Sango stood there, fuming & I crossed my arms, frowning.

"Kagura's going to beat your ass when she hears about the shit you said about her!" Sango threatened.

I looked her up & down. "You always run back & tattle on people to Kagura?"

"Hey fuck you, pretty boy, you'd do the same if it was your best friend!"

"What adult runs back & tell their friend something like that, unless, of course, they're looking for drama?"

"It's this thing called loyalty, it has nothing to do with drama, pretty boy!"

I shifted & pointed my claw at her, lowering my head so we were almost eye level. "You've got one more time to call me pretty boy, human. I've killed your kind before & I will do it again" I whispered.

"& then you will be a fugitive just like your brot-"

I grabbed her by the throat to get my point across & her breathing went from normal to hitched & damn near hyperventilating in a matter of seconds. "Ok, ok, I get it!"

I sighed & let her go before turning to Inuyasha & Kagome who were talking quietly, the girl smiling bashfully. "So Yasha you are clear on our plan?"

He looked up at me & shrugged one shoulder. "It's not much but the less complicated the better"

"Miroku & I will discuss how to get a car through the boss's exit" Sango murmured, giving me a level stare, "& I promise I won't tell him about Inuyasha"

"Me either" Kagome piped.

"Nor will you tell him that I'm leaving as well" I said & sat down, running a hand over my face. It had been such a long day, I just wanted to relax with a glass of scotch & turn the television on.

"Fine. We'll see you guys later" Sango said & she left, Kagome following after giving Inuyasha a quick hug.

"You & Sango hit it off pretty well" he said, lounging on the couch.

I simply glared at him.

.

..

...

The next day I arrive to work a bit early. I stayed up for most of the night, perfecting our plans & daydreaming about what it'd be like outside the gates. Would we actually be able to make it to the next gated city when there weren't many gas stations outside the cities? Hopefully this car has good fuel efficiency because if we left before payday I won't be able to put gas in it.

As I'm cleaning my locker out & changing into my PT clothes so I can go for a run around the track, Naraku comes in, face stern.

"May I talk to you for a moment?"

I never knew why he asked questions like that. It's not like I could say that he couldn't. "Sure"

"How long do you plan on staying here, with this job, I mean?"

The question took me by surprise; I shrugged one shoulder. "As long as I am needed"

He crossed one arm across his chest & rested his other elbow on top of the arm, gripping his chin. "I got word that you plan on leaving"

I gritted my teeth in anger. I knew that worthless wrench couldn't keep anything to herself. "That...is correct"

He fixed me with a level stare, his crimson eyes boring into mine & making me feel a bit uncomfortable. "May I ask why?"

"With all respect, sir, I can't tell you"

He smirked. "Running away with your lover?"

"No, sir"

He shifted his hands to his narrow nips & sighed through his nose, his gaze now on the floor. He was one of the hardest people to read. His facial expressions gave nothing away unless he was angry or annoyed & his body language always translated authority. If he wasn't here to chew me out & inquire about why I was leaving then why exactly was he here?

I shifted uneasily. "Are we finished here?"

He nodded absentmindedly, still looking at the floor, deep in thought.

I pass him, half expecting him to grab my arm & demand more information out of me but he did nothing & I continued on to the track where I sprinted three miles before the burn in my legs slowed me down to a jog. Something occured to me as I was running: who in the hell did Naraku find out about me leaving & exactly how much did he know? Sure, it was a small world so it could've just been one of those six degrees of separation type deals but still...damn.

When I had had enough running I went back inside & realized I was out longer than I thought & since I hadn't clocked in I was technically ten minutes late. I know it wouldn't be a big deal to anyone else but I really, really hated being late.

I jogged to the conference room with the time clock computer & punched my number in quickly, hoping I wouldn't have to run the obsticle course as punishment. The thought of having to crawl through mud wasn't appeasing to me at the moment.

"You're late"

I hadn't even noticed Naraku was sitting at the right hand of the head table, his chin resting on his right fist. His crimson eyes regarded me almost in an amused way but his mouth was in its usual thin line of disappointment & annoyance.

"Yes, sir. I lost track of time while running"

Halfway through my explaintion he waved his hand dismissively. "No big deal, Sesshomaru. This is the first time you've been late, I'm not even going to bother"

I nodded my thanks, feeling kind of awkward standing there & not knowing if I was dismissed or he had something else to say. "I'm going to...get to wor-"

"Sit down" he said simply, nodding to the chair across from him. I sat, looking at him expectantly.

He regarded me carefully, his jaw muscle flexing as he slowly chewed his gum (he had recently quit smoking so he chewed gum pretty often. Even when he wasn't supposed to, he at least kept it under his tongue). "Where do you plan on going when you leave?" he asked me finally.

"The nearest gated city"

"& why are you leaving?"

I took a moment to form an answer that wouldn't tell him the whole truth & wouldn't be a lie. "My brother is in need of a job"

Naraku nodded slowly. "Jobs are hard to come by..."

I nodded in agreement.

There was another long silence that made me wonder again why the hell I was here. It was obvious he wanted to tell or ask me something specifically, so why didn't he just fucking ask it already?

"With all due respect, sir-"

"I want to come with you"

I stopped, blinked...closed my mouth & blinked again...then opened back up only to close it once more. I could feel my forehead wrinkle in surprise. "Uh...come again?"

"It is no secret that this city holds nothing for me but bad memories & annoying noobs. I've been wanting to leave for ages but never found the...the courage nor the means of successfully carrying out an escape plan" he said, chewing faster. He always chewed faster when he was thinking about something unpleasant.
