A Breeder's World

~~~Sesshoumaru’s P.O.V.~~~

After returning to the office I sat for a moment in my chair thinking about Kagome. ‘Today had proved very productive and if she can continue to calm my beast like she did. hmm very interesting.’ The benefits of having her as a breeder just went up. To be able to be this calm and act quickly on what angers me and letting it go rather then it sticking with me and causing stress, oh yes the benefits are good.

I went back to work and had to call up my secretaries three times to bring in more work. What usually took me three days I did in little over half of one. I breezed through the contracts, settlements, and arranging court dates for failed deliveries that usually left me with a headache before noon. I believe i heard my secretaries cussing at the third call. Smirking evilly i was proud of myself. ‘Those lazy wenches have gotten used too used to a light work load. This will whip them back into shape and allow me to take the day of tomorrow to get Kagome outfitted for the presentation. A very productful day indeed.’

I ordered a late lunch since it was around three. When it came I looked at the list of things left to do. The negotiations would be done tonight and I was training her starting tomorrow since I received notification that she got her weapons. All her other belongings had been placed in her room. I had to wait yet for the mattress and the training garments but something old of hers would work until her training clothes arrived since i wouldn’t be dueling with her for a while yet.

Taking things slow like we were would allow me and my brother to refresh our fighting skills and allow me to find a coach for her dinner etiquette and for her miko powers. This had been the smoothest contract he had had if you didn’t count the media. Having to up security was going to cost more money then he wanted but he also enjoyed his peace and quiet. After the initial rush he had been able to threaten the cities news groups into keeping it down but since they had their spies to be their eyes and ears everywhere avoiding them would be the problem. Reporters also were everywhere and once they knew who it was his breeder it would get crazy again.

The problems were only beginning and all of it was someone's fault. Which lead to the problem of his disappearing secretary. He had the city police looking into it and had changed all the codes to those programs he knew she had access to and his personal ones. He also changed his banking information and codes to make sure that she hadn’t peaked into those either.

His bank account information was due any day now and he was going to go over it with a fine tooth comb. The wench had been able to get into his personal files or some how knew he had taken a breeder and leaked it to the press. Once found she was going up on charges of invasion to privacy and answering personally to his court. He could torture her if he so desired and could kill her if the need arose or if she was into more then he thought she was. Actually he was having all his secretaries reviewed by the police and his personal finance manager. He would get to the bottom of this in time. Meanwhile he had better start the search for the teachers he would need starting with her miko powers since getting a valid teacher would take a little doing. Turning to his computer he brought up the list of registered Mikos. Lets see.

‘It seems that if she is accepting student this is my best choice. I wonder how she will handle Kagome. A tough case would be an understatement. she can also coach Kagome on the presentation. This might be easier then I thought.’ (Of course you know everyone dooms themselves when they begin to think like this right? heh heh)

Ring..ring..ringgggg

“Hello Ms. Yoleen speaking.”

“yes Ms. Yoleen this is Mr. Takahashi.”

“Which one of you am I speaking to.”

“The elder.”

“Ah Sesshoumaru. What are you calling me for?”

“I was wondering if you were taking on students at the moment.”

“Why do you need to know that?”

“If you have watched the news you’ll know that my brother and I have finally decided on a breeder. It turns out that she is also a miko in need of training. I can’t have her purifying any combatants in her challenges.”

“Hmm. Yes I can see the problem if she purified another breeder or killed one. So she needs training does she?’

“Yes she has some control and can shoot purifying arrows. Along with an assortment of other things but other then the arrow not much is constant.”

“Do you have any idea what these other things are?”

“A few but they are not things to speak of over the phone Ms. Yoleen.”

“You are trying to be mysterious about this girl. Why?”

“I am not trying to be mysterious about it just some things she has done are not in the ordinary.”

“Very well. My time is not cheap Mr. Takahashi. I charge more when the girls I train work with demons. However, if she has not been corrupted I might make an exception.”

“Corrupted?! Woman you will explain yourself.”

“I find that women who become breeders for demons are usually one of a few things. A.) Money hungry since demons pay the most. B.) Power Hungry C.) Looking for a easy life style. D.) They don’t want to bare a lot of children. Or E.) So besotted with demons good looks that they are useless. The list can go on and are not necessarily ranked in that order. A breeder has more temptations with youkai, especially mikos. Sometimes they are purposely corrupted for youkai gain. Once I see the girl I will know if she had started this path and if so I charge more to set her to rights. If she is not then like I said I might make an exception.”

“She is not corrupted in any manner such as those you listed. She is a pure white! I sense no evil from her.”

“That may be so but sometimes a darker heart can lie within a pure body. I will be by in one to two days to see her. Make preparations for my arrival.” with that Etsu hung up the phone.

‘The wench thinks she can order me around?’ he snarled and growled at the phone in his hand before replacing it in its receiver. ‘She will be dealt with.’ His mind raced through some darker thoughts before suddenly the elevator beeped at him.

Looking up he saw Kagome and Inuyasha standing there with smiles. Though the smiles faded when they saw him. He watched as Kagome slowly approached after placing a few bags down. his beast was raging at the thought that some old wench called this pure being in front of him corrupted. That she dare to order him around. His thoughts were interrupted by two small arms going around his shoulders. Almost immediately he calmed. her power gently coaxing his beast back to its cage. Though still very angry he was back in control. He took a deep breath again noticing her very pleasing smell.

Patting her arms to show he was alright she gave one last squeeze before letting go. “what has gotten you so upset Fluffy?” asked his brother. Growling at him I answered.

“Something we will discuss later. For now I believe you have finished your shopping?”

“Yep. We were here to get something to eat as well as drop off this stuff. Want to come with us to the drum concert before we head over to mama’s?” I raised my eyebrow wondering how she got my brother to agree to go. I however wasn’t going to fall for it.

“No. I still have work to complete if I want to leave tomorrow to help get you outfitted Kagome.” her smile turned into a pout and even I couldn’t say she didn’t look cute. Something flashed across her face and the next moment she moved slightly and it no longer was cute but dare I say it sexy. It was then I took a look at her clothes.

Kagome was wearing a long dress with her arms showing. The dress seemed to be a dark blue with a slight shimmer. It was tight around her chest with a v-neck stopping at the top of her breasts. It had ridging on the waist making it seem smaller before flaring out in a full skirt that flowed when she walked. The dress stopped just short of her ankles revealing a mild heel with silver and black on them. Her hair was down and I noticed it was past her waist line slightly. Overall she looked very put together and sophisticated. no longer the young girl I had in my office just days prior.

She walked back to me the dress swaying gently. I had never really felt like this. Like I was the one being stalked. Her movements were fluid and she reached my side to quickly. I had been enjoying watching her walk.

She leaned over my arm to look me directly in the eye. I took a quick note that there was almost no makeup on her face other then a light eye shadow and blush. I couldn’t tell if she had on lipstick or just gloss and at the moment I was very tempted to find out.

She was getting under my skin and making me react to her presence. I wasn’t sure if I like the idea or not. Her smile was intense like she had some secret to share. her eyes twinkling and bright.

“Please Sesshoumaru? Inuyasha’s going and I thought it might be fun for you to go to. Get out of the stuffy office. Besides this way we are all together to head over to mama’s. Please.” the last word was stressed and gave my imagination ideas on how to make her say it like that again. My lower half tightened with that whispered word and My breathing changed. I looked at her and knew I had lost. her face was so pleading I nodded before I could stop.

Her smile intensified to an uncharted degree and she gave a very happy squeal. Her arms lopped around my neck and she pressed her lips to mine. To shocked to respond to the chaste kiss she quickly let go with a darker blush on her cheeks.

“I think I’ll leave you two to discuss whatever while I make myself some dinner.” She stammered quietly before almost running to the elevator and pushing the button to ride up. I was still sitting there stunned when my brother broke out laughing. Glancing at him he spoke.

“I told her there was no way you’d come. She changed in Joanne’s store and came out looking like that and then said ‘oh yeah?’ and I had nodded. She only grabbed my arm and came here. I just never thought she could do that. We’re whipped fluffy and its only been three days.”

Though I disagreed with being whipped she had gotten what she wanted when I was set against it. But for some reason I wasn’t all that upset. If she wanted to play with fire I was more then happy to oblige. licking my lips in anticipation to the chase I noticed the slight taste of fruit. So it was gloss. Interesting.
