The Arrangement

The Arrangement

A.N. *Walks into a dank Smokey room* “Go on…its ok….we are here to help you…” a short chubby woman says as she pushes BSD forward to a podium in the middle of the room. *looks at all of the people there.* “Hi.” *a chorus of people say hi.* “My name is Beautiful Silent Death.” *a few gasps can be heard. Some whispering and giggling could be heard.* “Ummm….I am hear today because I have come to terms that I need help. I write really nasty stuff.” *BSD starts to break down* “I….*Sob*…I….can’t help it…..*sniff*…I just have constant nasty things in my head…..*Sob* ….and I feel that I must write it down.” *she puts her hands to her face to cover the tears falling down.* “That was very good Beautiful Silent Death. It is the first step you know. Admit your problem, then we are able to fix it.” the chubby lady says as she pats her back. “But I really like doing it….*sob*” Anyways I would like to thank all of my readers. Your reviews have been great. Don’t mind my rambling. I sometimes think I am funny and write stupid shit up there. I hope my kids never see this….sigh…Look, I had a real hard time with this chapter. To be honest, I don’t like it. So if it sucks….well, then I am really sorry and it will get better again. So read and review of course!


Disclaimer: Damn it! I told you already. I DON’T OWN THEM!!!! *Looks down at her two dogs. One a pug, the other a German Shepard.* At least I have you guys. *sighs*

Kagome walked in the next morning at work with purpose in her step. She was wearing another outfit that screamed “I AM HERE LOOK AT ME!!!” Her dark blue pants hugged her curves and ass well. Her dark blue top had the same affect. She no longer had to wear long sleeves now that her red wrists were back to normal. She wore her belling sleeves and low cut top with pride. You could hear the soft clicking of her heals on the polished floor of her office.

She walked into the office to find Sango there. She looked up to see Kagome with her sexy outfit and black briefcase swinging at her side. “Wow, again with the sexy look! I am impressed.” she teased. Kagome stuck her tongue at her.

“I have with me the proposal and the new project that we have going on.” Kagome took out two folders from her now open briefcase. She walked over to Sango’s desk and placed the two folders down so her partner/best friend could look at what was done.

Sango looked at her work and her smile brightened as she read the proposal. “He is going to love this when he gets it. Kagome, you are going to have to be brutal to get Inuyasha to consider these terms!” Sango exclaimed with a small giggle. Kagome’s smile got bigger.

“I know. But I would rather be safe than sorry.” She took the proposal back and laid it on her desk. Turning back around, Kagome walked back to Sango’s desk as she was looking over the new software they came up with. “Oh my God! Kagome this is like almost halfway done. How late did you stay up for this?” Sango asked. It was not the first time she had ever done such things. Kagome would go sometimes up to three days with no sleep just to get some project done fast for her to review.

“I only stayed up until four in the morning.” Kagome said waving her hand in a nonchalant way.

“You only had two hours of sleep, Kagome.” Sango knew when Kagome got up in the morning and she knew that she got very cranky with little or now sleep. Flashbacks from the ‘No Sleep for Three Days’ keep popping into her head. Kagome saw her cringe a little.

“Trust me Sango. I have had enough sleep.” Sango looked at Kagome and let a sigh pass. ‘Lets just hope you keep your cool at the meeting .’ she thought to herself.

Kagome looked over at Sango. She had this intense look on her face and she decided to take the worry off of her. “Hey, did you go out last night?”

Sango looked up at her. “Oh yes, I did.” Sango answered with a cool look on her face. “Well….did you have fun?” Kagome shot back.

Sango let her lip twitch a little. “Yes, and after we went to dinner, we went to a late night movie.” Kagome was going to ask her what movie it was. Until that is she got interrupted before she could even ask it.

“We didn’t really see the movie. We sat in the back and up in a corner where we wouldn’t be noticed.” Sango continued on as if she was just speaking about the weather. “We made out the whole time.”

Kagome just stared at her for a minute and raised a sculptured eyebrow. She allowed a smirk to form on her face and just shook her head. “At least you had fun. Did you take him home afterwards?”

“No. I only save that for the sixth date.” Sango said with a wave of her hand. Kagome just smiled at her friend. She really envied Sango. She was tall, beautiful, and could get any man she really desired. She was very dedicated to her job but, unlike Kagome, she could date and leave work at work. No, Kagome just took her work home and had no life. Well, that was until recently.

“Hey,…why don’t you take the next two days off.” Sango said out of the blue. Kagome looked at her and let her jaw drop. She could of danced but she didn’t want to give her joy away. Kagome had to play this right. Kagome was going to ask her if she could do just that. She had not had a day off in….well, five years.

“I don’t know Sango. You know, I got to get this new project together and with the software deal I have going on……I don’t know.” Kagome said. Although it was what she wanted because of her ‘Arrangement’ , she really did have this stuff to do. Pleasure did not come easy for Kagome. She had an addiction to working.

“Kagome, one day your working addiction is going to kill you. It is a known fact that workaholics die younger than they should. Please. I will take care of this, I promise.” Sango begged. She really loved her best friend. Sango just wanted the best for her.

Kagome still looked reluctant to agree. Sango got a sly look on her face. “You could ask that ‘friend’ of yours to go somewhere with you.” She said with a devilish look on her face.

“Fine Sango. But I don’t want you getting into any trouble.” Kagome said with a small blush on her face but still had some authority in her voice. “If you find that you need to put something aside, then do so and wait until I get back.”

Sango’s smile widened at this. “Yes Mom.” She simply replied. Kagome stuck her tongue out at her again and looked at the clock. “Oh shit!” She suddenly shrieked. “I am going to be late for the lunch meeting!” Sango watched as Kagome ran around like she was on fire.

“Calm down, Kagome. You have an hour to get there.” Sango said while getting up from her seat, straitening her dress suit and walked over to help Kagome get ready for her meeting. After about fifteen minutes of Kagome running around and Sango leisurely Picking up what she needed and putting it inside of Kagome’s briefcase, everything was in finally in order. “Knock him out Kagome.” Sango said as she handed Kagome her briefcase. Kagome thanked Sango and left their office. She got on the elevator and Made her way down to the parking garage where she got into her car and left to go to the restaurant.

Sesshoumaru sat back at his desk. He had on an all black suit again, but this time his shirt was a dark shiny gray material. He liked this shirt. It always set off his unusual hair that he always pulled back at the bottom of his neck when he worked. He once considered cutting it, but quickly banished the thought. Women loved his hair long. Last night he received an e-mail from a man that was on his website. He was decent looking so he forwarded it to Kagura Lawson.

He smirked at the memory of how he met her. He was twenty-one and he went to a secret bondage club called Submission. He had never been there before and heard good things about it. The building its self was not very impressive. It looked like an old warehouse of some sort. But the moment Sesshoumaru walked in, he was impressed. He could like this place. The club was huge and had open displays of bondage acts, of all sorts, all over the place. It was not very busy. Some people was there but not many. The colors was mainly stainless steel, silver, and a shiny black. On the lower level there was the bar that extended along the twenty foot wall. It was a nice bar. It had stainless steel seats and a stainless steel metal bar that extended in front of the polished black counter top. A matching bar was near the floor so you could rest your feet on it. There was a dance floor that was silver and took up most of the bottom floor.

At the back of the club was a DJ that played mostly heavy alternative rock. The DJ was a women with a serous look on her face. She wore a tight fitting baby t-shirt that was white. In black letters was the word ‘The Void’ that stretched across her breasts. She wore black leather low rise pants that was boot cut. He could barely see that she wore combat boots that was of the same color. What caught his eyes on her was the hair. She had the whitest hair that he had ever seen. It came down to her shoulders and had a light bounce to it as she moved her head to the music. She had a very fair complex. So pale was her skin that he could of swore she was an albino. He was slightly amused over how short she was. Her chest hardly made it over the turn table.

Sesshoumaru noted that on the other side of the bottom floor was a few tables with chairs that matched the bar. His eyes moved to the upper level and an elegant brow raised at the sight before him. There was cages, chains, tables, and other things that would of made a person think it was a place of hellish torture. Not far from the tabled areas was a wall that was adorned with extra chains, straps, and paddles (all of different sizes). A small smile cured his normal stoic face. Yes, he really liked this place.

Sesshoumaru walked gracefully over to the bar and sat down at he nearest seat. A woman that was cleaning glasses of any water spots came over to where he was sitting. “What will it be tonight, stranger.” the woman asked without looking up from her work of wiping a glass in her hands.

“A little ‘old west’ for a greeting is it not?” He asked in his low cool voice.

The woman raised her head and graced him with a loop sided smirk. It was then that he noticed her eyes. They were a reddish brown that stood out against her short black hair that came to her shoulders in a neat bob. She had a nicely shaped face with ruby red lips. She had a simple black halter top on that stretched nicely on her decent sized breasts, but stopped at her lower stomach. It showed a little bit of her skin before her black low rise jeans covered up the rest.

With the smirk she still sported, she allowed a chuckle to follow it. “Sorry, but we mostly get regulars in here.” she put the glass that she was wiping down and rested her palms on the bar top. Her red nails shining in the dimmed lights. “So, what do you want to drink?” she questioned again.

Sesshoumaru rested his elbows on the bar and leaned forward. “A White Russian, Please.” He replied.

The woman turned and fixed his request for him. She walked back and placed the drink in front of him. “By the way, the name is Kagura Lawson.”

Sesshoumaru inclined his head some in a small greeting. “Sesshoumaru Takashi.” he stated simply.

“What do you think of my club?” she asked. Seshoumaru made a show of looking around before he turned back to her.

“It is interesting.”

Kagura smirked. “I bet you say that to all the pretty club owners.” she said teasingly.

Sesshoumaru couldn’t help but give a small smile at her corny reply. Kagura’s smile widened. “Now that is better. You should smile more often.”

They got to know each other better and soon found that they were attracted to each other. They saw each other on and off for a couple of years before just remaining good friends. The two eventually started the website YourFantasy.com five years later when he took over his fathers business and Kagura’s club got popular. He decided to take the women and Kagura would take the men. Being more eccentric, she would take the lesbians as well. Since Sesshoumaru would not take any men, she found someone else to do that department.

The only thing that threw him for a loop was the fact that he was very drawn to Kagome. She was very receptive to him and it really turned the tall stoic man on. He had many women before her. Even sent for a few them again. But he was very captivated with her. Never in his thirty-one years had he been drawn to a women so strongly. It bothered him. ‘I will be bored of her when I have had my fill of her.’ he thought with a small frown. Even though the small voice in his head wanted to disagree. Sesshoumaru looked at the clock and noticed that it was getting close to 11:30. ‘I have go to stop drifting and get back to work.’ he chastised himself. He reached for his cell phone and pressed his brother’s number. After a few rings the other phone was picked up. Expecting a hello he got something else.

“What the fuck do you want?” Came a gruff reply.

Sesshoumaru had to resist rolling his eyes in a childish manner. “Good day to you as well, little brother.” came his cool reply. “Do you have everything in place for the meeting?” Sesshoumaru inquired.

“Yeah I do.” He heard some paper being shuffled around on his brothers desk. Sesshoumaru couldn’t understand how he kept up with anything at all do to his messy habits.

“Now what do you want?” Inuyasha demanded. He was bogged down with paper work and was in mood for his brother’s shit.

“Look at your clock, Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru said.

Inuyasha looked at the small clock on his desk. “Oh shit! That dumb ass meeting!”

Sesshoumaru shook his head at the mental image of paper going every were and a frantic Inuyasha. “Don’t be late, Inuyasha. It is an hour drive to where you set the meeting to take place.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I know that, Asshole.” He shot back.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples with his free hand. He could feel a small headache start to form. “Why did you set the meeting at O’Charleys?” He asked, “Why not at a nicer establishment?”

“I don’t like doing business at a stuffy restaurant. That’s why.” Came his simple reply.

Sesshoumaru leaned back in his chair again. He stared off into nothing in particular as he listened to Inuyasha’s frantic movements. “Alright, I am ready.” He heard him say with something that sounded like a click of a briefcase following it.

“Call me after the meeting.” Sesshoumaru said. Before his brother could reply, he snapped the face of the cell phone shut. Now all he had to do was wait.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome walked into O’Charleys. A young hostess was there to greet her. She asked the girl if anyone by the name of Takashi was in the place already. She told Kagome that no one by that name was their. Kagome looked down at her watch and frowned her brows a bit. ‘I was almost late getting here myself.’ She thought. ‘What could be taking him so long.’ She shrugged her shoulders and turned to the patiently waiting hostess.

“Please seat me then and when anyone by that name comes, please direct him to me.” She kindly replied. The hostess nodded her conformation and turned with a menu in her hand. Kagome followed the girl until they came to a table and thanked the hostess. She seated herself and waited for the server. An average height man approached the table and asked what she wanted to drink. Ordering herself something, Kagome sat back and moved the briefcase she place at her side onto the chair next to her. She opened it up and took out her own proposal and placed it on the table. Kagome closed her briefcase up and found the server back with her drink. She thanked him and told him she was expecting someone and that she would order her food later. Kagome stifled a yawn. She was starting to feel the affects of hardly any sleep.

She only waited about fifteen more minutes when she heard a man with a gruff sounding voice ask her name. The hostess led the man to her table. Kagome paled a little when she saw white/silver like hair come her way. She felt like running away. This man looked like her master. When the man stopped at the table she got a good look at him and relaxed some. He had the same color hair, but his hair was a little unruly and shorter. His height did not match Sesshoumaru’s because he was shorter than him. ‘Calm down, girl,’ she told herself, ‘this is America. There could be a lot of people with that color hair.’ although she was still shocked somewhat, she knew the truth behind her reasoning.

The man looked at her and his eyes widened some. He had seen her picture before in business magazines, but they did her no justice. She was always dressed very conservative in them. Looking like an old married woman. The attractive specimen in front of him was different. She had her long black hair free and flowing to her waist and had a dark blue outfit on that hugged her body and brought out her eyes.

Kagome remembered her manners and stood up. She stretched out her right hand and readied herself for a hand shake. “Hello, I am Kagome Higurashi.” She said with a stunning smile.

Inuyasha looked at the woman before him. He blushed a little when he found himself staring at her. He met her hand half way with a firm shake of their hands and introduced himself. “Inuyasha Takashi. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.” he replied back. His professional façade locked back in place.

Kagome sat down the same time he did and the server came over to take his drink order. She raised her eyebrow at how he just ordered a beer but didn’t say anything. They made some small talk at first. Just committing on what a nice day it was and all that kind of pleasantries. They ordered some food which was a salad for her and a steak for himself. As they waited for the server to leave to place their food order, Inuyasha opened his briefcase and pulled out the proposal that he had made for her.

“I have our proposal for you here Ms. Higurashi.” He stated as he handed the paper to her across the table into her awaiting hand.

Kagome took the paper and sat back as she started to read it. Her sculptured brow would rise and fall every now and then until she was done reading it. “This is reasonable but I am inclined to disagree with some of it.” she said.

“What parts would that be?” He asked. Sesshoumaru had warned him ahead of time so he was prepared.

“Well, first off, I want to be there not only when you first install the testing program in but also when you use it in testing. Also I want to be there when you have the final product done. I have worked very hard on this and I don’t want my name or my partner’s to be soiled by a bad flaw.” She said as she handed her own proposal over to him.

Inuyasha was a bit peeved that she didn’t think their product was worth her immediate trust but bit his tongue. Kagome stayed quiet as he read what she wanted and as he took a drink of his beer, he started to choke. What he saw that made him choke was the amount she wanted for her program. Kagome leaned forward with a concerned look but then leaned right back at the look in his eyes.

“Woman, are you lose a few screws?!” Inuyasha shot at her. She wanted twice what they had offered her and it was a lot of money.

Kagome made a small annoyed twist on her lips. She brought her eyebrows together and sent a glare to the man sitting in front of her. ‘Rude asshole.’ She thought.

“Mr. Takashi, I am very coherent in mind and that was very unprofessional of you.” She replied with a forced calmness.

“The amount of money that we are offering you is more than enough for your program. This amount is way too high.” Inuyasha bit out. “Your program isn’t worth this amount of money.”

Kagome was low on sleep and she really didn’t feel like dealing with an asshole. She calmed her nerves with some really forced deep breaths. Her face was starting to flush with anger. “My program is worth more than what I am requesting and I seen no problem with the fair amount that I have asked for.”

Inuyasha looked at her, with what she could of guessed, humor and disbelief. “Your program is not worth this and you know it. What we have written down is perfectly fine and more than fair. It is not my fault that you hold your software on such high status.” He told her mater of factly. He leaned back and crossed his arms across his chest.

Kagome was losing her cool and she knew it. There was no calm when dealing with this ass in front of her. “My program is what you need and I don’t think you can easily put such a low look upon it like that.”

Inuyasha’s professionalism flew out the window with that statement. “Look, wench, we can get anyone else to come up with a program to work on our technology. You are not the only software company in the world.” He ground out with clenched teeth.

That was the last straw for Kagome. “Wench!” she screamed. Surrounding customers turned their heads to the scene taking place in front of and beside them. “I have never been so poorly talked to! You can take your proposal and shove it up your ass!” As she said this the server approached the table with their orders and froze at the outburst. She turned to the now frightened man and smiled sweetly at him. “Could you please box that? I am taking it with me.” She then turned to stunned man sitting in front of her. She picked up the tea she was drinking and emptied it on his lap with a satisfied smirk.

“You and your brother can find someone else to make your program, then.” With that said, she walked to the front to wait for her boxed food and to put some distance between them before she physically harmed the rude prick. After she got her food she left with her belongings and headed back to the office.

Inuyasha looked at the whispering customers with a glare and watched as they turned back to their own food. Cursing under his breath, he waited until the server came back to him and told him to box his food as well. As he waited for the server to come back, he tried his best to clean the spilled tea off of him. ‘This is just fucking great,’ he thought to himself, ‘this is going to stain.’ Inuyasha picked up his phone to call his brother. He was not looking forward to this particular phone call.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru was working on some paper work when his cell phone began to ring. He looked down and the face of it showed that his brother was calling him. ‘Well that was fast. Maybe he actually did something right.’ He mused.

“What is it.” Sesshoumaru stated as he answered the phone. After listening to Inuyasha rant for a few minutes, Sesshoumaru became pissed. “I told you not to jump the gun on this deal, Inuyasha. Now I will have to fix this problem.” He may have sounded calm but he was fuming on the inside. How could his brother mess this up! They really needed this software. “Get back here now.” He said as he slammed the phone shut. “Imbecile.” Sesshoumaru breathed to himself. Inuyasha just had to mess this deal up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome was driving a little erratic. She was really pissed off. Never in her life did she have this happen at a meeting before. ‘What a rude asshole! I cant believe he called me a wench!’ She fumed to herself. She pulled into the parking garage and parked her car. Grabbing her briefcase, she got out of the car and straight to the elevators. When Kagome got to her floor she stomped off elevator. All the eyes of her employees was looking at her like she was going to kill them. Kagome was too mad to even have a clue of the mild chaos she was causing.

She stormed in to her office shut the door behind her with a slam. Sango looked up from her desk. She was talking to Miroku and told him she would call him back.

“Kagome!” She blurted out trying to get her friends attention. “What is wrong?”

“That Mr. Takashi was an insulting, ignorant prick that has no regard to the female race!” She vented. She told Sango, in detail, what had happened. Sango was pissed.

“I am so sorry you had to deal with that, Kagome.” She said as she tried to verbally sooth Kagome. She was not going to give her a hug or anything for fear of her life. “Look, go home. Take the rest of the day off. Take a breather and enjoy the next few days off.” Kagome looked to argue with her but never got to. “I mean it, Kagome. You go home now.” Sango said with no room to argue.

Kagome slumped her shoulders in defeat. She was really tired. A nice nap was in order. She looked to see it was almost 3:30 p.m. “Fine. I will go home.” She went to grab some of her things when Sango stopped her again.

“No. Leave all paperwork here. I don’t want you to work on anything that will make yourself feel a little bit of stress. Go. Now.” Sango ordered.

Kagome agreed and hugged Sango. She was such a good person. She went back to the elevator with a lighter briefcase and got on when it arrived. She went to her car and got in. The drive home was uneventful and she was glad for that. As she entered her home she did her regular ritual of taking her shoes off and changing her clothes. She looked at her alarm clock as she walked up to where her bed was. It was now 4:14 p.m. Kagome had time to take a nap. She set her clock for 9:00 p.m. and laid down in her soft bed. She was really tired and wanted to feel her best when she had to get up. Kagome smiled at the thought of getting away and going to her Master’s place. Wherever that was. She rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes. Yes. She would forget this bloody mess ever happened and take a well deserved short vacation. ‘A nice sexual vacation.’ She thought as she drifted off to sleep with a mischievous smirk on her face.
