Kagome awoke feeling very warm and comfortable. She opened her eyes and found herself tucked into her bed. Beside her, a note lay upon her pillow and she could not help but smile when she read it.

Kagome,

I am sorry that we could not have dinner last night. I must have fallen asleep, and it was sweet of you to let me sleep. I apologize for my forward behavior by pulling you down with me, and I hope you can forgive me. When I awoke, I found myself wrapped around you and figured that you would not want to wake up like that, so I moved you to your room and grabbed my shirt out of the dryer. I will call you later on this morning and perhaps we can go out for lunch, my treat. I also need to inform you that Inu Yasha stopped by last night, but did not come to your door. I am sure that he was here to cause trouble, he must have seen me and turned around, thinking that we were up to something. I am going to lock the door behind me and hope that you had a nice night’s sleep.

Kouga

Kagome giggled as she reread the note. He really was a sweetheart, and he treated her so well. She sat up in bed and looked down at herself. She was wearing her shorts and tank top and shook her head. She could not believe that Inu Yasha would dare come to her home, especially after what he had said at the party. She pressed her lips into a thin line and walked out of her bedroom and over to the phone. She dialed Sesshomaru’s number and when the phone was answered, she asked to speak with Sesshomaru-Sama.

The voice on the other end was very curt, and told her that Sesshomaru-Sama was asleep and that she would have to wait to speak with him. Kagome sighed and asked to leave a message. When she was told to go ahead with her message, she said that Inu Yasha had come to her apartment the previous night and that Sesshomaru-Sama had wanted to know if he tried to make contact with her. The man had grown quiet and then told her to hold on. Within a few moments, Sesshomaru was on the line and he was quite upset.

“Did the bastard speak with you?” He asked, his voice cold.

“No, I was still at your home when he came by. He saw Kouga here and turned around, but Kouga saw him and informed me about it.” Kagome replied. She listened carefully as Sesshomaru’s breathing got heavier.

“What time did Makasuno leave your home last night?” He asked. Mentally, he was kicking himself for caring, but his curiosity was hell bent on making him find out.

Kagome giggled nervously. Oh lord, she could tell that she was about to get an earful, but she squared her shoulders and said, “When I came back last night, I found him asleep and instead of waking him, I covered him up and went to sleep.” Ok, so she chickened out and did not put in the part where she had been pulled down and slept in his arms, at least for part of the night.

Sesshomaru was upset. He could bet that Makasuno faked being asleep to play on Kagome’s loving nature and she fell for it. He took in a deep breath and asked when did Makasuno finally leave.

When she told him that he had left sometime in the early morning, Sesshomaru wanted to ask if Kagome had been left with her clothing on or off. However, he simply grunted and told her that he would deal with Inu Yasha. He quickly hung up on her and made his way to his study.

Kagome stared at the phone in her hand, and then placed the receiver in its cradle. She turned her back to it, and then nearly jumped out of her skin when it rang. She huffed in annoyance, but then picked it up. True to his word, it was Kouga and he wanted to take her out to lunch. Kagome quickly agreed and when he told her that he would pick her up in an hour, she hung up and ran to her room. She wanted to look good.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sesshomaru pounded his fists into the punching bag as hard as he could. He kept imagining that it was Makasuno’s face that he was pounding and found that his anger was slightly appeased when he finally stopped.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and walked from his gym. He could not understand why he was acting in such ways. The woman was obviously not human. She was a seductress and had weaved her magic on him. Well, he would not play her game. He walked up the stairs and headed straight for his shower. He allowed the hot water to wash away the evidence of his anger and made the decision to confront his brother about going over to Kagome’s apartment. Just because his bitch decided to show her true colors did not mean that Kagome was going to be his consolation prize. He had been with her once before and did not treat her as he should have, and he would not have another chance with her.

He quickly dressed and ran a brush through his long hair. With a critical eye, he surveyed his work and nodded with satisfaction that he still had the looks that had earned him the nickname “The Killing Perfection” in college. He flipped the long strands over his shoulder and went to his dresser where he had placed his wallet. He shoved it into his back pocket and then left his bedroom.

He went downstairs and decided that he would drive himself around for the day. He selected the black sports car and grabbed the keys off of the board in the garage. He got into the car and took off, not caring if he was speeding, he just liked to go fast.

He drove for a while and then pulled up in front of a house. He smirked when he saw the truck sitting in the driveway. He shut the engine off and climbed out of his car. He walked to the front door and knocked. When it opened, he glared at his younger brother and then shoved his way into the house.

Inu Yasha’s mouth dropped at Sesshomaru’s audacity. He could not believe that he had the fucking nerve to come to his home and barge in as though he owned the damn place. He slammed the door and said, “What in the fuck do you want, cocksucker?”

Sesshomaru lifted his eyebrow and shook his head. “Now, now, Inu Yasha. Is that any way to speak to your big brother? And here I was hoping that we could put all of our differences behind us and start over.” He sneered. He saw the look of rage on his brother’s face and snorted. This was way too easy.

“I have nothing to say to you, and already know that you were right. Now, get out of my home.” Inu Yasha bellowed, his finger pointing to the front door.

Sesshomaru gazed at his brother and then said, “You went to Kagome’s apartment yesterday. I told you to stay away from her. Leave her be, Inu Yasha. You have already had your time with her and failed her. She is happy without you.”

“So, you spoke with that idiot, Makasuno, and he tattled on me, so what? Big deal. I can go anywhere I chose and if I want to talk to Kagome, then I will. You have no say in who she speaks with, so why don’t you step aside and let me take care of her.” Inu Yasha smirked.

Sesshomaru’s hand snaked out and wound itself around Inu Yasha’s neck. He pulled the young man close and quietly said, “She has just recovered from the last time that you took care of her. You will not do her anymore harm.”

He shoved his brother away and went to the door. He opened the door and walked outside, not bothering to shut the door behind him.

Inu Yasha stared after Sesshomaru for a moment and then got up and closed the door. He glanced around and saw that his answering machine light was blinking, signaling that he had a message. He pushed play and then heard Kikyo’s voice. As every few seconds ticked by, he grew angrier. He walked over to the kitchen counter and snatched up his keys. He strolled out of his house, locked his door, and got into his truck. He pulled out of his driveway and headed for the hotel that his dear wife was staying in. He was about to lay some serious smack down.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kikyo smiled as she listened to the woman on the other end of the phone. Early in the morning, Kikyo had been so desperate that she called her mother, and her mother called her attorney, a woman by the name of Kaguya Lee.

Kaguya had been very happy to call Kikyo and had listened with eager ears as the young woman told her what happened, but Kaguya already knew that Kikyo cheated, though it would not be a serious problem. She listened as Kikyo described the treatment she received at her husband’s hands and smirked as a plan formed in her mind.

“Kikyo, I want you to begin packing your belongings. You will be back in your home by this evening. We will get your credit cards reinstated and set you up with a nice allowance so that you are comfortable. After all, this really is your husband’s fault. He never should have allowed his wife to get comfortable in a lifestyle if he was not prepared to take care of her should you have a falling out.” Kaguya said, her voice low and velvety.

Kikyo could barely suppress her glee. She straightened her back and smiled as Kaguya listed all of the things she was going to set in motion. She told Kikyo that she had every right to be at that home, and just because her husband had ordered her out did not mean that she had to leave. No, she had just as much right to live there until a judge said otherwise.

When Kaguya finished with her instructions, Kikyo hung up the phone and practically skipped to the dresser. She began pulling out her lingerie and moved it to the bed. She opened up her suitcase and placed her items inside with loving care.

She was about to go to the small closet, but a banging on her door stopped her. She went to the door and opened it, and then smirked.

Inu Yasha was beyond pissed and she was loving every minute of it. He stormed into the room and looked around. He turned his angry gaze upon her and pointed at her.

“You little bitch. If you think that I am going to play these little games with you, you are seriously mistaken.” He hissed, his anger growing as her smile broadened.

“Inu Yasha, I am not playing a game with you. I meant what I said. You will not simply dismiss me and I refuse to be tossed aside like a piece of garbage. My attorney will see to it that you support me until I decide that I have had enough and even then I probably won’t let go.” She said, chuckling.

“What attorney? You don’t have an attorney.” He said, crossing his arms.

Kikyo beamed. “Yes, I do. Kaguya Lee. She is a well known divorce attorney and I have already spoken with her. It seems that you had no right to kick me out of our home, and she is working on correcting that for me. You see, it would have been so much easier to just let things slide, but no, you wanted to be a little shit and now I am being a bitch. So what. I fucked Naraku Onigumo. Who hasn’t? However, you are a hypocrite, my love. You cheated on Kagome with me and told me that cheating was a natural part of life and relationships. You can’t have it both ways, Inu Yasha.” She scolded, her voice light.

Inu Yasha’s fists clenched. He was actually seeing red. He grabbed Kikyo by her arms and forced her against the wall. “I made a mistake by marrying you. I never should have cheated on Kagome and that mistake will haunt me for the rest of my life. You were only after me for my money, and I’ll be damned if you get anymore than you deserve.” He said, his fingers digging deep into her skin.

Kikyo whined in pain. She glared at her husband and sneered, “I deserve more than what you are planning to give me and you know it, and so does my attorney. I will make sure that you suffer right along with me.”

Inu Yasha could not stop himself. He didn’t even know it happened until he heard the sharp sound of skin hitting skin and heard Kikyo’s cry. He quickly stepped back and looked down at the ground. Kikyo was crumbled on the floor, sobbing. He had never hit a woman before and he paled when he saw her nose bleeding.

He went into the bathroom and got a washcloth and made sure that the water was not too cold. He quickly went back to her side and brought the cloth to her nose. She instantly flinched from him and scooted back. He sighed and quickly picked her up and brought her over to the bed.

As he held her, he placed the cloth under her nose and rocked her slowly. He whispered that he was sorry for hitting her and that perhaps things had just gotten too far out of hand.

Kikyo wanted to cheer. Kaguya had told her to do anything she could to provoke Inu Yasha. She could not wait to tell her lawyer that she had been hit. Kaguya was devious and had been chalk full of great ideas to help Kikyo get what she wanted.

Inu Yasha felt horrible. He could feel Kikyo trembling and he knew that he had been in the wrong. He sighed and then said, “Come on. Let’s get your belongings and go home. We have a lot of talking to do, and until I am satisfied that we have gotten past this incident, I will sleep in the guest room.”

Kikyo really wanted to laugh. What a moron. However, she simply sniffled and nodded her head. He set her down on the bed and went to grab her clothing from the closet. After almost half an hour, her bags were packed and she was in her car following him home. He had told her before they left that he would give her back her credit cards, but that she was on a limit. She had agreed and when her stomach rumbled, he said that he would take her out for lunch.

They dropped her bags and car off at the house and took off in his truck. Kikyo could tell that he was watching her and she made a show of touching her nose and grimacing. After all, sympathy works wonders. He reached over and took her hand away from her face and entwined her fingers with his. He pulled her hand up and kissed her hand. It was a very romantic gesture, and Kikyo was dying on the inside. This was just too rich.

He pulled up at a nice little restaurant and escorted her inside, but stopped when he saw Kouga Makasuno and Kagome sitting at a table. He looked around and sighed. It was just his luck. The only table available was the one next to his former fiancée.

The waitress smiled up at him and motioned for him and Kikyo to follow her. They did and when he saw Makasuno look up, he rolled his eyes and held out the chair for his wife. He glanced over at Kagome, who didn’t even face him. Her face was blank and he heard Makasuno ask if she wanted to go somewhere else, but Kagome shook her head no and told him that she was fine.

Kikyo was seething on the inside. The way her husband was looking at Kagome was making her see red and she pouted a bit. When given a menu, she looked through it and then looked at her husband.

“I want the steak with a baked potato.” She said. She smiled over at him and then looked down. She was still in her act.

Inu Yasha smiled. “Would you like to get a salad, as well?” He asked, already knowing the answer.

Kikyo nodded and then looked around. She watched as that Makasuno guy leaned forward and whispered to Kagome. It was clear that he liked her a lot and Kikyo hoped that Kagome liked him as well. She did not want the little bitch available for her husband should he decide to get back at her for sleeping with Naraku.

She glanced back at her husband, who was now openly staring at Kagome. She huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. This was going to be some lunch.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kouga had come and picked Kagome up as promised. He looked great in his ass-hugging jeans and tight shirt. She had also worn jeans, but wore an off the shoulder blouse. She had put her hair up into a high ponytail and laughed when she saw that Kouga had pulled his up as well. He reached out and took her hand and led her from her apartment. He waited as she locked her door, and waved to Kaede, who had sighed and murmured, “Ah, young love.”

Kagome shook her head. She and Kouga were just friends, at least at this point. Ok, he had kissed her, but that only meant that he liked her. Right now, all she wanted was a friend, and he was perfect.

He opened the car door for her and Kagome slid into the passenger seat. She could not believe at how nice the car was and was impressed by his sound system. When he got into the car, he noticed that she was eyeballing his stereo system, and he told her to listen to whatever she wanted.

Kagome grinned and found a station that played soft rock. All that loud shit hurt her ears, and she could tell that Kouga was happy with her choice. As they drove, Kouga began telling her about his childhood and how he got into business.

“My father owned the company before I did and I guess it was just a natural thing for me to take over once I got of age. My family has been in the advertising business for a long time and publicity is one of the things we handle.” He explained.

Kagome was impressed. Kouga really did not seem like he would be an executive, but here he was, and he was amazing. She thought about Sesshomaru and had to wonder how he got into the business he was in. But, she was shaken out of her thoughts when Kouga announced that they were at the restaurant.

They walked in, hand in hand, and got a table. He ordered their drinks and told Kagome to order whatever she wanted. He kept glancing over at her and smiled as she studied the menu. He loved how she bit the corner of her lip when she concentrated. He, of course, could find better things to do with that lip of hers, but he would keep that to himself, at least for now.

When Kagome finally announced what she wanted, Kouga smiled at her and motioned for the waitress to come to the table. He gave her their orders and grinned at Kagome when he noticed that she was looking him over. He took great pride in his appearance, and he was positive that Kagome was enjoying the view. However, his grin quickly slid off of his face when he caught sight of that asshole Inu Yasha and his whore.

Nothing was said between them, but Kouga watched as Kagome stiffened. It was clear that her former love’s presence was distracting to her. He leaned over and whispered, “Would you like to go somewhere else? It is no problem, Kagome.”

Kagome shook her head. She would not run. She had every right to be there, and who gave a damn if Inu Yasha was around or not?

Kouga beamed at her. She was amazing and the fact that she refused to leave made him happy that he had decided that she was the one for him. He watched as Kagome smiled at him and then heard that bitch, Kikyo, tell her husband what she wanted.

‘Fuck what she wanted, what she needed was a swift kick in her ass.’ Kouga thought, as he reached out and took Kagome’s hand in his. He could see Inu Yasha look over at Kagome and heard his wife’s annoyed sigh.

He smirked a bit and turned his attention to Kagome. She was looking around and when she looked back at him, she gave him a soft smile. She tightened her grip on his hand and then leaned back when their food arrived.

Kouga quickly forgot all about the couple at the next table and listened to Kagome as she told him about her family. He was impressed at how loyal she was, and laughed when she told him about her grandfather. It seemed that the old man was a bit off his rocker, but from the fondness in Kagome’s voice, he seemed harmless.

However, their good mood quickly came to an end when he asked Kagome how she came to be in Sesshomaru’s employ and when she told him that she had been offered a job, Inu Yasha snorted loudly.

Kouga glared over at him and then looked at Kagome, who was staring at her former fiancée. She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, but did not say anything. She turned her attention back on Kouga and told him that Hojo had come to her and had said that he had a wonderful opportunity for her, and she jumped at the chance to take it.

Kouga nodded, and asked, “Well, it looks as though everything has worked out for you, hasn’t it?”

Kagome nodded, happily. “Yes. Sesshomaru-Sama is very nice when he isn’t threatening people.”

Inu Yasha snorted again and sneered, “The only reason why he is nice to you is because he wants to get into your panties, much like this asshole.”

Kouga jumped up, and glared down at Inu Yasha. “Will you back the fuck off? Mind your own business, dog-face.” He snarled.

Inu Yasha stood up and stood toe-to-toe with Kouga. Both men were glaring at each other and Kagome finally decided that she had heard enough. She reached out and took Kouga’s arm.

“Kouga, come on. Let’s just go. You wanted to go and see a movie, right? Just leave Inu Yasha alone. After all, he needs to keep all of his attention directed at his wife due to the fact of her habit of spreading her legs.” Kagome said, her voice cold.

Kouga smirked. He wrapped his arm around Kagome. “You’re right, sweetheart. Oh, and dog-face, I would suggest using condoms for a while. There is no telling what kinds things your bitch will bring home to you.” He said. He reached out and grabbed the bill from the table and led Kagome over to the cashier. He paid the bill and then led Kagome out of the restaurant. However, they were followed and Kagome cried out in pain when Inu Yasha’s fingers gripped her arm tightly. Kouga turned and felt his anger quickly rising. It looked as though he would have to kick this freak's ass.

“What in the hell does that mean, bitch?” He screamed, drawing the attention of other patrons.

Kagome yanked her arm out of his grasp and glared at him. “It means, you idiot, that your wife is nothing more than a whore, but then again, I am not surprised. She cheated on Sesshomaru-Sama, and now she has cheated on you. By the way, I know you were at my apartment yesterday, and I want you to know that I do not appreciate it. You have no business with me anymore and I certainly don’t want to be around you. By the way, did you know that your wife called Sesshomaru-Sama yesterday and tried to get back together with him?” She asked, her gaze unwavering upon Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha’s face turned pale. He slowly turned towards Kikyo and looked at her for some sign of denial. He shook his head when his gaze was returned with a look of guilt. That bitch.

His shoulders slumped and he walked towards his truck and got in. Without even waiting for Kikyo, he started the engine and backed out of his space. Within seconds, he was gone.

Kikyo watched her husband drive off and then looked at Kagome. She was about to speak, but the clap of thunder stopped whatever she was about to say. She looked back at Kagome and saw the young woman smirk.

“Well, you had better get walking, Kikyo. Unless you want to get stuck in the rain.” Kagome sneered.

Kouga snickered and pulled Kagome towards his car. He was about to step in when Inu Yasha grabbed her, but he was delighted when she turned the tables on the fool. Yes, his woman was strong and defiant. Just how he liked his women.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kikyo felt her heart plummet. Damn that bitch. She had to go and ruin her day. It was just not fair. She was much prettier than Kagome, but the bitch seemed to be able to draw the attention of any man she wanted, including Inu Yasha. It was clear to Kikyo that her husband still held a torch for his old love, but she would not be denied.

As Kikyo stood in the parking lot, another clap of thunder was heard and suddenly, Kikyo found herself in the middle of a downpour. As if her luck could not get any worse, a car drove by her and nearly hit her.

The car slowed to a stop and the driver got out and approached her. “Kikyo.” He said, his voice soft as silk.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

When Kagome awoke, she smiled and stretched. She had never had such an exciting weekend before and it thrilled her to no end that Kouga did not seem to mind showering her with his attention.

Kouga was simply used to getting what he wanted and everyone else be damned. And apparently, he had decided that he wanted her. When they had gone to the movies, he made sure that they had popcorn and sodas before finding a couple of seats in the back. For most of the movie, they held hands and when the movie was over, Kouga got a call that he had to take. When he came back over to her, his eyes were apologetic and he told her that he would have to cut the day short. He said that he was expected at an emergency meeting and that he would drop her off at her apartment.

So, for the rest of the night, Kagome got her outfit ready for work and then made herself some dinner. She watched a movie and then took a hot shower, but strangely, Kouga did not come to her mind. Instead, Kagome found herself thinking about Sesshomaru.

He was…handsome. No, not handsome. God like. Yes, that was a better description. Sesshomaru’s cold looks made him seem unapproachable, but for some reason, Kagome found herself intrigued by it.

When she had woken up at his home, and in his shirt, she was slightly embarrassed. She found herself sniffing the shirt and closed her eyes when she detected the faint aroma of his cologne. It was a very appealing scent.

As she washed her body, Kagome’s hands fluttered down to between her legs and she closed her eyes. She had not felt an attraction this strongly before, but for some reason, he made her feel…different.

Different from Kouga, and definitely different from Inu Yasha. Sure, she liked Kouga. He was sexy and loving towards her, but he really did not challenge her, but Sesshomaru made her want to strangle him at times and she found herself panting in her office after a few of the confrontations that they had engaged in. She had been turned on by the confrontations.

When she felt the slickness upon her thighs, Kagome’s eyes flew open and she looked down. Oh, this was not good. Not good at all.

Now, as she lay in bed, she felt her face flame up with embarrassment as she recalled that she had actually gotten off when she thought of her boss. How was she supposed to face him? Well, there was only one way to find out.

Tossing back her covers, Kagome got out of bed and padded to her bathroom. After a quick shower, she brushed her teeth and then got ready for work. As she slipped on her heels, she rushed out of her bedroom and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. When she was done, she grabbed her purse and sailed out her door.

As she locked her door, Kaede came to her door and wished Kagome a good day. Smiling, Kagome nodded and walked to her car. She looked at her watch and grinned. If she hurried, she could beat Sesshomaru into the office.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

When he got to work, he found Kagome and Nazuna bustling around the office in a very busy manner. Apparently, the women decided that his way of filing was wrong and took it upon themselves to file things to their liking. That was fine with him, just as long as he did not have to search for anything.

Kagome glanced up and smiled at him. When he motioned for her to follow him, she walked behind him and closed his office door. He walked to his desk and set his briefcase down on the small table beside his desk and told Kagome to sit down.

“I spoke with Inu Yasha yesterday. He will not be approaching you again.” Sesshomaru said, his golden eyes studying the woman before him carefully. He nodded with approval at her attire, and found himself looking at her legs. She had them crossed and the skirt had ridden up a bit to reveal to him a bit of thigh. He quickly sat down and ignored the throbbing in his pants. He noticed that Kagome was shifting a bit in her seat, and he lifted an eyebrow.

“What is wrong, Kagome?” He asked, his tone demanding, yet soft. He watched as her head snapped up and heard her clear her throat.

“I kind of ran into Inu Yasha yesterday. He was with Kikyo.” She whispered. At first, she did not think he heard her, but the rise in his voice told her differently.

“I see. And where were you to see these two people?” He demanded, his anger beginning to get the better of him.

Kagome shifted again. “I went to lunch with Kouga and they happened to come into the restaurant. I tried my best to ignore them, but Inu Yasha made a very rude comment and I kind of snapped back.” She said, her eyes looking at anything other than him.

Sesshomaru stood up and walked around his desk. He sat before Kagome and reached out to touch her chin with his fingers. Gently, he lifted her face until she was forced to look at him.

“What did he say to you, Kagome?” He asked quietly, his thumb stroking the soft skin of her jaw. He saw her eyes widen at his unusually gentle tone, and then shook her head.

“I really don’t want to say. It is humiliating.” She said, pulling her face from his grasp. She looked up when Sesshomaru shifted.

“Fine. Don’t tell me. I will find out what happened without your help. Do you remember that Kagura has a meeting with me this morning?” He asked. When she nodded, he smirked.

“Good. I have decided to take your advice. You are to call Yura and tell her to gather her belongings. Tell her that she has been promoted and will need to get ready to move into her new office.” He said, waving his hand at Kagome in dismissal.

Kagome huffed a bit and then got up. That jerk. He just dismissed her like she was some common slave. She walked to the door, and opened it. She closed it with a loud thud and stomped to her office.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sesshomaru watched Kagome get up. He had heard the little noise of indignation, and nearly chuckled. He knew she hated it when he callously dismissed her. As she walked to the door, his eyes were drawn to her ass. He liked the way it moved underneath her soft skirt. He could imagine what kind of panties she was wearing and he found that it was hard for him not to think about what it would be like for him to slip those panties off of her and touch her. He imagined that her curls would be soft, just like everything else about her. Or perhaps, she didn’t have any curls. Some women preferred to shave their private area. Was Kagome one of those women?

He shook his head, as if clearing those hentai thoughts from his brain. He reached over and dialed Makasuno’s number. He had told Kagome that he was going to find out what had been said, and now he planned to follow through.

When Kouga picked up his private line, Sesshomaru got to the point. “I understand that you and Kagome ran into Inu Yasha and his whore. What was said to Kagome to upset her so?” He asked, his voice curt.

Kouga sighed. He had known that Inu Yasha’s words had hurt Kagome’s feelings. But, she had insisted that she was fine. Had he not been so angry, he would have seen her anguish.

“Basically, he said that the only reason why you were nice to her was to get into her panties.” Kouga replied, his voice angry.

“Anything else?” Sesshomaru inquired. He was seething on the inside. How dare that fool make such a statement? However, he could not deny that he would not stop thinking about Kagome or her panties.

“He assaulted her in the parking lot. I was about to step in and beat his ass, but Kagome handled it herself. She really burst his bubble.” Kouga said, chuckling.

Sesshomaru’s eyes grew dangerous. That bastard dared to touch what belonged to Sesshomaru. He calmed himself a bit and then asked, “What exactly did she do?”

Kouga snickered. “She told the bastard that his little wife tried to get back together with you. If you could have seen the look upon his face, you would have died laughing, Takashiro. It was priceless.”

Sesshomaru smirked. Good. Let the little fool hurt. He deserved it. He bid Makasuno a good day and hung up. He dialed Kagome’s extension and told her to get into his office. When she arrived, he stood up and walked over to her. He placed his hands upon her upper arms and was about to tell her that he would make his brother pay for upsetting her, but she hissed in pain and flinched away from him.

He narrowed his eyes and did not even stop to ask her permission. He grabbed her arm and unbuttoned her sleeve. Carefully, he rolled it up and saw a bruise adorning her soft skin. Rage filtered through his mind as he stared at the wound. He took in a deep breath to calm his nerves and then motioned for her to unroll her sleeve. He had to get away from her, or he would yank her into his arms and hold her to him in an effort to calm himself down. This was not going the way he had envisioned. He had only wanted an assistant, but instead, he now had an obsession. Had he fallen so far? Apparently, yes. He had.

He told Kagome to let him know when Kagura arrived, and then sent her on her way. Kagome quickly left the office and he was all alone.

He thought of many things in those first few minutes, but then came to a decision. He would call Hojo and let him know of the abuse that Kagome had suffered. That should fuel Kuama’s fire. Then, he would call his brother and inform him that he would be coming to his office so that they could discuss matters. His harming Kagome would never happen again.

He looked up when he heard a soft knock, and was graced with Kagome’s sweet face. She told him that Kagura was here, and he motioned for her to come in. He heard Kagome tell Kagura to take a seat and then allowed his eyes to follow Kagome until she came to stop by his side. He wanted to smirk. He felt unstoppable, and with this particular woman by his side, he felt powerful. It was senseless to deny it. He wanted her. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to lavish her with gifts. Most of all, he wanted to fuck her. Damn her.

He turned his attention to Kagura and allowed a rare smile to cross his features. “Kagura. We have much to discuss.” He said. His amusement heightened when he saw the look of fear cross Kagura’s face. Oh, this was going to be fun.

Kikyo stirred and struggled to sit up. Her head hurt and she really could not remember what all had happened the night before. She could remember her husband leaving her behind as he drove away, and then watching as that little bitch, Kagome, leave with Kouga Makasuno. Then, it had started to rain, and she was nearly hit by a car. The man who had been driving the car had stopped and come over to her, and led her to his vehicle. Once inside, his fingers had found their way between her thighs and they had gone to his home.

He had made dinner for them and she was clad in one of his shirts. She was supposed to be furious with him, but after a few drinks, she had loosened up. Now, here she was and she was naked.

She heard the rustling of cloth and she looked over at the closet in time to see Naraku step out. His hair was tied back and he was now getting ready for work. His red eyes flickered over her and he rolled his eyes.

“Get up and get dressed. Your clothing is on the chair by the window. I will give you money for a cab. I have to get to work.” He said, his voice dripping with malice.

Kikyo shrugged. She got up and pranced over to the chair. As she dressed, she could feel Naraku’s eyes upon her and she smirked. Clearly, he was more attracted to her than he would care to admit. As she pulled on her shirt, she turned to him and said, “Could I please use your phone? I would rather the cab pick me up out front.”

When he nodded, she slipped on her flats and moved towards the phone. She grabbed the phone book and found a cab company. She dialed the number and requested a cab come and pick her up.

When she hung up, Naraku reached for his wallet and opened it. He pulled out a fifty dollar bill and handed it to her. She took it and then walked past him and headed for the stairs. If he wanted to be an ass, then she could be a bitch.

She walked outside, and folded the bill and placed it in her pocket. She cursed when she realized that she had left her purse, and turned to go back inside, but found herself looking up at Naraku. Silently, he handed her purse to her and then said, “Do not tell that idiot that you married that you were with me. You don’t need anymore trouble.”

Kikyo rolled her eyes, but nodded. She heard a car approach and quickly got into the cab when it stopped. She did not even look at Naraku, but gave the driver the address that she wanted to go to and watched as he put the car into drive. Soon, Naraku was gone and she gave a sigh of relief. Well, that was certainly unexpected. She had never imagined that she would screw Naraku Onigumo twice in a couple of days. But, he was a better fuck than Inu Yasha. Perhaps she should see whatelse Naraku was better at.
