Wow! Thanks for all the reviews…since everyone took time out to review I took time out to answer them… anyway there was a question about Sesshoumaru’s occupation and how it related to Kagome. I realized I grazed past that part in my story so here is a mini explanation; I hope it helps and I’m sorry I confused you.

Remember I mentioned Sesshoumaru being a monopoly king. Well monopoly means control and Sesshoumaru controls the west; all but a small wooded area and a shrine. The shrine and wooded area belongs to Kagome’s family. Sesshoumaru wants to buy that land from the old priest, but the sickly old man will not sell. Instead the old man signs the title to the shrine and land over to his strong willed grand-daughter. There you have the Kagome/ Sesshou situation.

Inuyasha is something like his partner. Together they invest in different businesses, act as land lords, and have other business ventures. Like with Kouga, who is a sports clothing manufacturer.

Naraku is a very powerful, very evil, international corrupt banker; who is real close friends with Bankotsu.

Hope that helped

Chapter 4


Verification of a Relationship, His Lips

Bankotsu saw a depressed Kagome leave the club and became worried. He wanted to go after her, but couldn’t leave till Jakotsu came back from running an errand.

When Jakotsu returned, Bankotsu started the hour long drive to Kagome’s home. Five minutes into the drive he noticed Kagome’s car on the side of the road stuck in the mud; so he stopped. Bankotsu didn’t see Kagome anywhere, so he called her cell phone and even back tracked to see if she may have walked up the road. Eventually, with the help of her spare keys and two of his friends; Bankotsu decided to take Kagome’s car to her house.

An hour later Bankotsu arrived at Kagome’s house, and bid his friends goodbye. Almost immediately afterward he noticed that bastard Sesshomaru’s car park outside Kagome’s home as well. Using Kagome spare house keys that were with the car keys, Bankotsu opened the door and made a b-line for the up-stairs guest room. He needed to know if Sesshomaru was sleeping with ‘his’ Kagome.

Quietly Bankotsu reached for the door knob and peaked inside. There in the guest bed laid a very nude Sesshomaru, and as if being an asshole in his sleep; he suddenly rolled over. The jackass fully exposed his frontal area to him. Suddenly he heard someone behind him, and turned to see who it was; forgetting to shut the door. “Kagome.” Bankotsu whispered.

“Bankotsu, how did you get in here?” She thought for a moment. “What are you doing here?”

“I used the extra keys, in your car key box, to bring you your car and let myself in. I didn’t want to wake you.” He lied. Then Bankotsu gestured over to the sleeping man. He forgot Sesshomaru was nude. “And him?”

Kagome looked around Bankotsu only to discover a very naked Sesshomaru sleeping peacefully. Kami he is ‘HUGE’, she thought. “Thanks for bringing my car.” Kagome stammered while blushing madly.

“Well.” Bankotsu insisted, growing impatient.

“… ‘Well’, you are annoying me; but to answer your question… he brought me home and I let him stay. You are welcome to stay as well; it’s too late for you to be driving. So make your self at home in the other guest room.” Kagome turned to walk away but stopped when Bankotsu called out to her.

“Don’t be fooled Kagome. He helped you for other reasons. If he tries to break-up our relationship, I’ll rip him apart.”

Kagome stared at Bankotsu blankly for a moment. “Relationship?” She said quizzically. “No, we were dating till you messed that up. Now we are nothing but very good friends, and if you ever want to get back to where we were; you will behave.” Kagome then left Bankotsu to his own thoughts.

Bankotsu quietly shut the door and headed toward the other guest room.

When the door shut, Sesshomaru cracked one eye open. He was awake. In fact, he had been up ever since Bankotsu opened the door and rolled over just to fuck with the guy. Again he found out a wealth of information; it’s as if luck was on his side tonight.

ssssssssssssssssssssss


At The Northridge Orphanage the next day… “Hello Kagome, Mr. Hedioshi.” The coordinator greeted Kagome and her lawyer.

“Hello Kaede-san.” Kagome greeted nervously while her lawyer gave a respectful nod. “Uhh… if you don’t mind me asking, why are all these people here?” Kagome thought about what she said and decided to re-phrase the question. “I know it sounds like a stupid question, but people just don’t line up in rows to adopt children.” The waiting rooms and the main halls were full of people, and this confused Kagome greatly.

“I’m sorry to say that this orphanage is closing.” Kaede took a deep breath, but before she could continue a little boy burst through the door with a little girl in tow.

“Mama!” The little boy yelled as he made a rather abrupt stop in front of Kagome

Kagome gave him a stern look. “Shippou! Stop running and dragging this poor little girl around. Further more, what did I tell you about respecting other people?” Kagome then tuned her attention to the little girl. “What is your name?”

“Rin.” She said quietly.

“Mama.” Shippou tried again. The little eight year old was growing impatient.

“If I let you tell me; no more interruptions.”

Shippou nodded in agreement. “Rin needs a mother too. Can you adopt her along with me; so no one out there will or she could be sent off to another place?” Shippou heart was in the right place but the request was a little hard to comply with.

“Shippou I …” Kagome was lost for words. She didn’t want to be cruel and say ‘NO’ out right in the little girl’s face. She was just too cute.

Kaede looked at the perplexed look on Kagome’s face. “Kagome, it may be best if the children wait outside for this discussion.”

Kagome led the children outside to the waiting area. Now that the looked at some of the people and thought about it, some of the people looked less than suited for child care; or at least loving one.

As soon as Kagome re-entered the office, kaede continued where the original conversation left off. “Like I was saying earlier, Child, this place is closing. It can no longer afford to stay open, so most of the people out there will get a child if the so desire. All they need meet is the minimum income, residence check, and background check requirements which are limited. Kaede looked Kagome straight in the eyes. “I fear some of the children, despite these precautions, will not get good homes; and others will be shipped to wherever will take them.”

Poor children. Kagome could no longer keep her tears at bay. “And your job?”

“Forced retirement.” Kaede stated in a matter-of-fact way.

“What about the little girl my son was with?” Kagome’s mind was working a mile a minute. She couldn’t afford a second comfortably, but she ‘could’ afford it. Maybe I could take Rin along with Shippou, thought Kagome.

“The child fate will be that of the others.”

Kagome turned to her lawyer; she didn’t have to speak her request. Mr. Hedioshi has been with her family for years and if he knows Kagome at all; he knows exactly what she wants. For the first time during the meeting he spoke. “Kaede-san, might it be possible to start paper work on the little girl as well? Today, if possible.”

Kaede let out a hearty chuckle. It was somewhat funny; two weeks ago Shippou came to her begging her to start the paper work on Rin. He said ‘Just in case’. After receiving confused looks from Kagome and her lawyer, Kaede went to her file case and put two folders on the desk in front of Kagome. “I already have them Mr. Hedioshi. Shippou told me that his mother would not deny his request for a sister.”

“But I have yet to pay for the paper work on her.” Kagome interjected.

“Worry not Child. Call it a gift; I was more than happy to pay for it.”

All three signed both sets of papers, and fifteen minutes later Kagome walked out of the office back to the kids. They looked a little nervous and worried. “Why the sad faces?” She questioned. “You should be happy; I am. Why? Because I am the proud mother of two beautiful children!”

Both children instantly came to life and launch themselves in to her awaiting harms.

“I told you.” Shippou whispered to Rin as they loaded their things into Kagome’s SUV.

ssssssssssssssssssssss

Inuyasha walked into Sesshomaru’s office and caught him in a serious mood. “Hey, what’s up with you?”

“Thinking.” Sesshomaru answered off handedly.

“About what Jackass? Feh… whatever it is sure got you preoccupied.”

-Flashback-

Bankotsu and Sesshomaru both awoke to the smell of freshly cooked breakfast at eight am. After getting dressed, they both went down stairs to find a half dressed Kagome cooking.

Kagome was currently scrambling some eggs; clad in a pair of very short sleeping shorts and a sports bra. Her hair was up in a messy pony-tail and she was also wearing her glasses. It was truly a sight for both men to behold. “Good morning fellas, I hope I didn’t wake you.” Both men shook their heads. “Great! Then you two can sit down and have a nice breakfast while I get ready for the day. Call it a ‘Thank You Meal’.” Kagome left the room to go get ready for her day.

Bankotsu took this time to talk to Kagome’s so called new ‘friend’. “Do you think I’m simple? What the hell are you up to?” he questioned accusingly.

Sesshomaru chose not to grace him with an answer at the moment. Instead, he took a plate left out for him by Kagome and got something to eat. He really didn’t eat other peoples cooking, but he would try hers. If she was to be ‘his’ woman; then she should at least be able to cook.

When he did not get a reply, Bankotsu felt his temper rise but pushed it back down. He decided to get something to eat as well, but he was not done talking. He wanted to know Sesshomaru’s true motives. When he sat down, he attempted to he a rise out of the silent man. “You filthy bastard; this is a real disappointment. The power Sesshomaru Noromu has nothing to say; no words to defend himself.” Bankotsu taunted.

Sesshomaru stopped eating, leaned over the small dining table, and back-handed Bankotsu. For a moment he couldn’t believe that the little worm called him a ‘Filthy Bastard’ when Bankotsu’s good friend Naraku is a well know rapist! “Silence fool! My intentions toward Ms. Higurashi have nothing to do with you.” Sesshomaru started his meal again like nothing happed.

“Kagome is ‘my’ woman.” Spat Bankotsu.

“Really? I was under the impression that you two are ‘no longer’ dating.” Bankotsu went pale. “Also I did not see a ring or mating mark, so it appears that she does not belong to anyone YET.” Sesshomaru paused. “At least you tried, now let a real man take over.”

-End Flashback-

Sesshomaru almost felt his temper snap, but it cooled at the thought of throwing his success in Inuyasha’s face; now was the perfect time. “I was thinking about my new ‘friend’.” He paused and looked up at Inuyasha. “She was nice enough to cook for me before I left her home this morning; I suppose it would only be proper for me to invite her to lunch one day.”

Inuyasha stared at his brother with unbelieving eyes. Really… I mean, who in the hell would fuck’em let alone WANT to keep Sesshomaru company, thought Inuyasha. “And who might this friend be?” He asked.

“Why none other than Miss. Kagome.” Sesshomaru was more than happy to tell Inuyasha who the mystery woman was. His eyes were shining bright with amusement as he watched his over expressive brother come to life.

“Liar!” Inuyasha shouted.

Two Weeks Later… Once again Kagome walked down the crisp halls of the Noromu building; apparently the ‘Monopoly King’ was also a ‘Persistent Jackass’. Shaking her head, Kagome attempted to clear her thought but could not. A very hyper Shippou and Rin made sure of that. Today was a school holiday; her mother was at work, Souta was busy, and her grandfather two too sick to watch them. Bottom line, she was forced to bring them to this meeting with her.

Sango was sitting at her desk playing a computer game when someone starting knocking at her door. “One moment.” Sango quickly closed her game and walked over to the door. When Sango opened the door, there was Kagome dressed in a black mini skirt, a white strapless shirt, and black jacket with black heels. “Kagome! You’re early!” As Sango said that two little ones jumped from behind Kagome.

“Aunt Sango!” They yelled in unison.

Kagome threw Sango a tired look. “Yeah I know… I wanted to know I you could watch them while I had my appointment. Please! After we leave here, I have another meeting with a daycare.”

“Okay; I will, but a daycare? Kagome are you sure?” Sango ask out of concern.

“No not really, but I can’t continue to take them to meetings with me during the day when they are out of school.”

Sango glanced at her watch. “It’s time. Alright Kagome, I’ll take you to your meeting and by the time you return I’ll have a solution to your problem.”

When Kagome nodded, Sango went to her intercom and announced Kagome’s arrival. “Sesshomaru-sama Ms. Higurashi is here.”

“Fine.” Was his reply.

Kagome turned to the children and instructed them to be good before walking down the hall with Sango. Into the ‘Dog House’.

………………………………………

Sesshomaru sat with his back facing his desk. The only features of his that could be made out clearly were general ones; like his hair and the color of his suit. Funny today he chose to wear black.

Everything was set up. Since Inuyasha had the nerve to call ‘him’, of all people, a liar; Sesshomaru decided that he would prove the Mutt otherwise. There was one problem, though; Inuyasha could not be in the room while he talked to Kagome. To fix this, Sesshomaru decided to let the intercom between his office and Inuyasha’s office stay on so Inuyasha could hear the conversation. That would have to do. Really he felt no need to prove himself, but the little runt asked for it. Sesshomaru was brought out of his musings by a tap on the door. “Enter.”

Sango stepped forward. “Your 9:30, Ms. Higurashi.”

“You may leave.” Sesshomaru dismissed Sango with out a backwards glance.

Sango turned and left but not before giving Kagome a reassuring squeeze on the arm.

After about two minutes of silence from the arrogant man behind the desk, who still hadn’t turned around to face her, Kagome’s temper got the best of her. The Jerk was still facing the window and still hadn’t offered her a seat! “Excuse me! You do realize that I am standing here? You may not have any thing to do but stare of a window; I, on the other hand, have a life to get back to.” Kagome was about to turn and walk out when the man called out to her.

Sesshomaru had been enjoying her company, when Kagome proceeded to tell him off. He had forgotten that she didn’t like him as a professional and didn’t know he was the same person from a few weeks ago. Sesshomaru knew it was now or never; he had to say something or look like a fool due to his own boasting. “Kagome, surely you wouldn’t leave without saying ‘Hello’ to a ‘Friend’.” Sesshomaru called out smoothly from his desk as he turned around and got up.

“I...It’s you.” Kagome sputtered, shocked.

“Indeed.” Sesshomaru replied as he walked over to her.

Kagome eye’s and face to on an array of emotions as she look at him. Shock, anger, and curiosity were the most common. “You let me call you all those names.” Kagome took a calming breath. “You helped me and spent the night at my home.”

Sesshomaru led Kagome over to the small sofa in the corner of his office. “Yes.” He said in affirmation.

“Why? Is it because you still want my family’s shrine and land? If that is the case then this meeting is over.”

He sat down closely beside Kagome. “Today, I just wanted to talk to you.” Sesshomaru noticed Kagome was looking him straight in the eyes and noted that was something not many women did. “I wanted to thank you for the breakfast you cooked. It was wonderful.”

A deep blush quickly appeared on Kagome’s face and she broke eye contact. Kami is he flirting with me, thought Kagome. “Uhh… Thank You. I’m glad you liked it.”

Sesshomaru missed the eye contact Kagome was giving him, so he gently forced her to look at him once again. “Indeed, now tell me how the adoption of your son went.” He was trying to change the subject to loosen her up.

“That well…” Kagome stuttered a bit. She couldn’t think because Sesshomaru was still holding on to her cheek. “My son wanted a sister. I couldn’t leave the little girl behind, and so I now have two children.”

“I see. So you spoil them.”

Kagome opened her mouth to flat out deny his words, but shut it. It’s true since they have been with her the amount of toys at her home has tripled. “Okay just a little bit.” She admitted.

“You must let me meet them one day.” That was one way to get more time with her again. Secretly he hated kids, but would put up with them if that’s what it took. Yes the straight forward Sesshomaru is being extremely spurious at the moment.

“I brought them with me. Would you like to meet them now?”

Sesshomaru nodded and walked over to his intercom. “Sango, could you please bring Kagome’s children in here for a moment?” Kagome stood to welcome her kids.

A moment later the door opened and Shippou and Rin came running in. Upon seeing Sesshomaru, Rin attached herself to Kagome bare leg and Shippou stood in front of his mother and sister.

Sesshomaru regarded them closely. They were well dressed like he suspected they would be. The little girl bore an uncanny resemblance to Kagome, but it looked like she was shy around strangers. The boy looked nothing like Kagome, but his personality and Kagome’s were one in the same. Now Sesshomaru knew why she originally wanted to adopt him. Also by the look of him, though he looked human, he was a demon kit. So she has one human and one demon child, Sesshomaru thought.

Kagome tried to get the children to introduce themselves first but they refused.

Sesshomaru shook his head free of all his thoughts and stood to greet the kids. “Hello my name is Sesshomaru Noromu.” Sesshomaru watched as Kagome tried with the little girl again, but to no avail. The boy, however, flashed his sister a bright comforting smile like Kagome’s and stepped forward. Sesshomaru had to admit, he was impressed; the little boy would make a fine man.

“Hello Sesshomaru-sama. My name is Shippou Higurashi. I’m eight years old and she,” he pointed to his sister. “Is my sister Rin; she is seven years old.” Shippou took a deep breath. “You better not be bothering my mother!” Shippou threatened.

Kagome turned pale, and so did Rin. Rin walked up beside Shippou, quietly gave her apologies to Sesshomaru, and stared dragging Shippou toward the door while quietly fussing at him about manners.

Sesshomaru raised a brow at the scene before him. Maybe the little girl was more like Kagome than he thought. “Sango you can take the children back now.” Sango left with the kids, and Sesshomaru turned back to Kagome. “Do you plan on having more?” He asked out of no where.

“What?” Claming down a bit, she answered. “Yes. Tell me, why do you want to know?” Kagome sighed in exasperation. “Why am I even telling you?” She thought aloud.

Kagome had her back to him, so Sesshomaru positioned himself behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. “You are telling me because we are becoming good friends.” Kagome missed the fact that his word for ‘friend’ had a double meaning when he used it with her.

“Yeah…a friend who wants something I have.”

Sesshomaru had to hide the shock on his face. Did she figure him out already?

Kagome continued. “Don’t think because you got off topic; I forgot about the fact you still want my family’s belongings.”

He was relieved; she hadn’t figured out. He could still surprise her. Sesshomaru turned Kagome around to face him. Now they were standing inches away form each other and staring into one another’s eyes. “True. I am a friend that wants something from you, but it is no longer your family’s land or shrine.”

Kagome grabbed Sesshomaru by the cheeks and stared him in the face. Her lips were only centimeters from his and her eyes were also slightly glazed over. “What do you want then?”

………………………………………

Inuyasha sat at his desk listing to the whole affair. He was in shock at first. The woman sounded just like Kagome, but as time went on that was not enough.

Deep down Inuyasha knew his brother would not lie. At least a good 98 percent of the time he didn’t, so why would he lie now? To piss me off that’s why, Inuyasha thought.

After about forty-five minutes, Inuyasha was ready to turn the intercom off; but stopped when he heard the last thing Kagome and Sesshomaru said to each other. The words were filled with something akin to lust. He still didn’t know if this was the real Kagome but he was going to make sure. Quickly he got some random papers off his desk and headed towards his brother’s floor with a quickness no one knew he had. That bastard, he thought angrily, I saw her first!

………………………………………

Sesshomaru didn’t waste any time taking advantage of the situation. While Kagome was only inches way; he put his arm around her, closed the gap, and planted a light kiss on her lips. Afterward he still held on to her. “I only wanted that for now.” Sesshomaru kissed her again. “Eventually I will require your love.” He squeezed Kagome’s body a little tighter, when she gasp from the shock; he took the chance to deepen the kiss.

Before Kagome knew it, the sweet kiss turned into a feverous wanton, lust filled kiss. Not just by Sesshomaru, but by her as well. She was kissing him back! She was not thinking before acting. Again, she was caught off guard when she moaned into Sesshomaru mouth.

Sesshomaru was sporting a major ‘hard on’ right now. He had managed no to lose control over the situation, but it would not last. He knew he was losing yet could not break away. Then Kagome moaned and Sesshomaru lost it. His hands were just about to start roaming Kagome’s body when Inuyasha burst through the door. Sesshomaru was angry but happy to see his brother. He and Kagome didn’t need to go that far yet.

Inuyasha was mortified. All his doubts were put to rest. It was indeed ‘his’ Kagome that his brother was kissing. Inuyasha was brought from his thought voices in the background.

Kagome was beet red and was starting to struggle to get out of Sesshomaru’s hold. “I have to go…” Kagome stated franticly almost. This was an embarrassing situation.

Sesshomaru didn’t say a word and held fast; He wasn’t ready to let go.

“Sesshou…” Kagome didn’t finished was she was about to say. Sesshomaru kissed her one last time in front of Inuyasha. When he let her down she slapped him. How he dare kiss me like that, Kagome thought embarrassed

He kissed her again, this time quick but demanding none the less. “I will see you later… then.”

Kagome looked almost serene as she walked toward and out of the door. “See you at my next performance.”

No sooner than the door shut Inuyasha let his anger loose.

After about five minutes his ranting, Sesshomaru grew tired. “Do I have you remind you again, Little Brother, that you have a wife.”

“………”

“That’s what I thought. You have your woman; stay out of my business. Stop this useless banter and get out of my office.”

“That stick up your ass must be lodged in your brain if you think I’m gonna let you have Kagome… Don’t get too comfortable Jackass.” Inuyasha stormed out of the office.

ssssssssssssssssssssss

Later on Kagome reflected on what happened at the office. Now she not only had Bankotsu and Naraku to worry about; she also had Sesshomaru Noromu. He was going to be much harder to rid her self of. Damn, she thought, I shouldn’t have kissed him back.

Kagome’s problems were just beginning. Trance Nights next performance was totally sponsored by Naraku, so naturally he wanted his input on the show. Tomorrow is Ayame and Kagome’s turn to meet with him. How will the meeting turn out?
