Chapter 9
Breakfast was a grand affair with everything you could want. There was French toast, Belgian waffles, eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, fresh whipped cream, fresh squeezed orange juice, hot scones and Izayoi’s own fruit preserves. Since there were no picky eaters in her family, Izayoi watched as everyone ate with gusto.
After breakfast, the family gathered in the living room to exchange gifts. There were smiles and laughs and plenty of hugs. Kagome’s gifts were smaller compared to what everyone else gave, but she was also working with secretary pay and what was left after rent, car repairs and medical bills.
For Izayoi and Shiori, they each got their favorite scent collection from Bath and Body Works. For Toga, she had made a counted cross stitch of a dog demon in his true form and sewn it into a blanket big enough to cover him and his mate as they cuddled on the couch together in the evenings. Inuyasha got the same things every year: she would special order every flavor of ramen she could find and present what should be three months’ worth (but usually made it barely a month) in a giant box with a bow. Every year she tried to find a new flavor to surprise him with. This year she found lemon pepper steak from a supplier in Florida. Every year she also got him a pair of doggie boxers. This year’s selection was blue, had a big, red dog house over the flap and paw prints all over. For Sesshoumaru, she had bought a plain, clear glass ornament and painted intricate snowflakes on it in white glitter paint. On the back she wrote in her finest calligraphy “2012 New Beginnings.”
As usual, everyone spoiled Kagome rotten. Knowing how the girl loved to cook, Izayoi presented her with a leather bound book of her own recipes, Toga with a stack of $100 iTunes gift cards. From Inuyasha and Shiori, there was a brand new pink bookbag to replace her over-the-hill yellow one and inside was filled with her honeysuckle scent collection she wore every day. There was even a gift from Sesshoumaru, though she wasn’t sure what to make of it. ‘A swimsuit?’
……………….
Kagome had finished packing up and Inuyasha had brought her bag downstairs. She looked around and didn’t see his bags so she asked, “What’s up? Why aren’t you packed?”
“Change of plans. We’re gonna stay another day here at Dad’s and Sesshoumaru is takin’ you to your mom’s.”
As the daiyoukai came in from outside, letting in the chill winter air, he looked over the pair, finally focusing on his chosen. “Are you ready?” At her nod, he moved to take her bags.
“Are you sure you don’t mind, Sesshoumaru? I don’t want to inconvenience you.”
She was chewing her bottom lip and he almost forgot to answer her. Blinking heavily, he replied, “This Sesshoumaru does nothing he does not wish to do.” He turned and carried her yellow and pink bags out to his car. She followed the tall demon’s progress out the door, shamelessly checking him out since Inuyasha had gone back into the living room. Seeing his choice in vehicle, she couldn’t help but smirk. ‘Of course he would have one of those…’
As a girl who loved the thrill of driving but had never experienced anything more exciting than a Honda, she just had to step outside and ask, “So, Sesshoumaru…what’s the chances of you letting me drive her?”
Closing the trunk on their belongings and presents, he turned to her with a cocky smirk and said, “Slim.”
With an exaggerated sigh she said, “Too bad. It’s on my bucket list, you know.” The sight of her dream car making her a little lightheaded, she slowly walked around the car, trailing her finger along its sleek lines and moaning softly as though caressing a lover. Emboldened despite herself by the searing look he was giving her and locking eyes with the demon from beneath her thick, dark lashes, she bit her bottom lip and cocked her head to the side, moving her arms in and squeezing her bountiful breasts together as she bent slightly from the waist. In a voice so soft and sensual it was like a first kiss, she whispered, “Sesshoumaru…are you sure there’s nothing I can do to change your mind?”
‘My…gods.’ Sesshoumaru was no green youth when it came to females. He had endured quite a few lectures from his father over the years for his exploits with the fairer sex, but without question what he was witnessing was the most erotic display he had ever had the privilege to see. He took a step closer to her, his heated blood pounding in his veins, fully intending to fist the hair at her nape and conquer those shiny, pouty, pink lips of hers in a soul-wrenching kiss. As his clawed hand began its ascent, he was brought up short of the voice of his younger brother.
“Ha! Kags, I knew you’d pull that stunt when you saw his car! The girl is completely without honor when she wants something. I swear!” He caught her act out the window and ran right out to save his brother. He knew with the draw, he’d be thinking with his other head and definitely wouldn’t see her somewhat less than innocent game for the joke it was supposed to be. Seeing how he was just standing there without turning towards him, he knew for certain he was trying to deflate the no doubt raging Little Sesshoumaru before anyone noticed.
Kagome, thankfully, was distracted by Inuyasha and straightened, seemingly unaffected and turned to him with a smile. Summoning his control, Sesshoumaru turned and minutely inclined his head his brother, grateful he had been prevented from making a grave error with his chosen that in hindsight, would probably have left her confused and unsettled and made for a very awkward car ride. If he had control of his mind around her, he could have sensed she was merely toying with him. But now that he was free of her amazing blue eyes, he took in his surroundings and realized the truth. ‘So…the miko is not as unaffected as she would like this Sesshoumaru to think.’ Savoring the spike in her scent, crimson swirled in his eyes as beast rose up in his consciousness before he forced him back.
Now that Sesshoumaru was no longer looking at her with that devilishly intense hunger, Kagome’s mind was working overdrive. What the hell had she been thinking playing that game with him? It was like between her attraction to that beautiful vehicle and her desire for the most handsome creature on the planet and knowing she could never have either, she just let loose her inhibitions. Thank gods Inuyasha had shown up or she would have been mortified if Sesshoumaru had actually thought she was serious. Never mind that she wasn’t sure that she wasn’t… ‘And what was it with that steamy look he was giving me?’ Pondering for a moment, it didn’t take long for her self-deprecation to speak up. ‘He thought it was a joke the whole time. I mean, look at me. What kind of deformed fatso would dare come on to someone as divinely blessed as him? He was merely joking back. Letting me know what I was doing had no effect on him. Giving me some of my own medicine. He didn’t mean anything by it.’
Catching the sadness seeping into her scent, the daiyoukai’s forehead crinkled in confusion. He turned to look at her and she gave him a great big smile that didn’t reach her eyes. ‘What can she be thinking?’
He was interrupted as the rest of his family came out to wish them goodbye. After lots of hugs, Sesshoumaru opened the passenger door of his Aston Martin Vanquish and Kagome got in, pulling her hair over her shoulder. He waited until she was settled and buckled before closing the door. He walked around the back of the car and with a nod to his family, got in, adjusting his own hair and started the engine, smirking when Kagome said, “Mmmm” upon hearing the engine purr. Feeling uncharacteristically playful, he revved the engine and watched her from the corner of his eye. She took a deep inhale through her nose and blinked her eyes dreamily before a slow, secret smile blossomed on her face. Shifting the car into gear, he acknowledged that with reactions like hers, it was only a matter of time before he gave her what she had asked so deliciously for. Everything she had asked for.
…………………………..
Though she carried almost no native smell, he could sense the wind witch as she approached his door. She was a part of him, after all. “Enter,” he said as she was poised to knock.
Stepping into the room, she bowed her head, the chimes in her ears tinkling below her upswept brown-black hair. She wore a white and red striped kimono with sea foam green and navy under layers showing, a golden obi at her waist. In her folded hands she carried a matching white and red striped fan. “You called for me, Naraku?”
Considering the girl before him, he knew she would betray him the first chance she got if he didn’t hold her heart hostage. Not her love, no, but her actual, beating heart. He kept it safe from her ever prying eyes and so kept her loyalty, such as it was. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t torture her. “You haven’t asked after your sister, Kagura. She is delicious, as always. Unfortunately, her little demon body can’t be convinced to leave scars for me to enjoy…no matter how I try to persuade it…,” he finished wickedly.
Red eyes flashed in anger and all appearance of meekness fled as she glared at her master. Her hands gripped her fan so tightly they trembled in rage. Oh, how she would love to kill this monster and spit on his corpse only to reanimate it with her Dance of the Dead and force him to do charity work for senior citizens. As long as he held her captive, she would have to wait and plan.
Enjoying her flash of temper, he got to the point, “I have arranged a position for you in the Emergency Room at the Global Vascular Institute. You are to monitor the night secretary, Kagome, and report back to me.”
Confused why he was having her do reconnaissance when he had a much more powerful tool for just that reason, she asked, “Why are you wasting my time on a boring assignment like that? Can’t you just use Kanna’s mirror?”
Furious, he roared, “How dare you think to question me! I could destroy you in a blink, absorbing your pathetic body back into my own and increasing my power. You are nothing! You are no one! You owe your entire existence to me and you will do as I say, bitch!”
The chit had always been sassy but she’d been downright defiant ever since she’d bedded that cold inu daiyoukai, Sesshoumaru. As if she thought that being one of the many marks on his bedpost had garnered his favor—he was more likely to cut the witch down for the presumption. His claws tore at her face, opening her jaw and forcing his poisonous miasma down her throat, forcing her to fall to her knees, gagging and coughing. “Now, you will listen, whore, as I tell you what I need from you.” After he had filled her in on his plan and dismissed her, the girl shakily got to her feet, her arms around herself, eyes once again downcast, before leaving the room. Exiting the mansion, she took a feather from her hair, magically turning it to a flying boat and sailed off into the sky.
