"Where is it?!"

Kagome accidentally lost her MP3 player. She has no idea where she left it.... that would be about right, She could go home and find the papers head-lines....  "I can see it now. '500 year old MP3 Player Found!'"

She growls to herself slightly, she could kick herself, instead she kicks a small stone sending it to parts unknown. She knew better, but its such a nice new shinny toy. She didn't get those often! Sota got it for her 19th birthday. She was so happy, she had always wanted one but never had enough time to be home long enough to earn the cash.  She continued to search around the area she was last at before it got dark and she had to go back to the village for the night.

Watching the Frustrated Miko who has no idea she could be in any danger. 'Amusing....' He wonders what is so important about this small device. He couldn't tell what it was made of. When she finally moved on he took the time to properly inspect it. It was very strange.  A quick sniff told him nothing besides what he already knew, it was the Miko's.

Rubbing his thumb across something caused it to light up, somewhat surprised he almost drop it. Looking closely he finds it has strange writing on it. Reading carefully he find himself even more confused than before. Well rubbing the small device caused it to awaken, what else can it do. Tracing his clawed finger down the device noticed this strange circle was a different texture than the rest, a quick press to the bottom and he heard a distinct 'Click'. Pressing it a again and he was startled to heard a sudden sound.

Looking down to the string hanging from it he fought the urge to growl at the device. However within a few minutes, he being a smart and powerful demon he figures it out. He mildly likes how the round things hanging down oddly fit into his ears.

Song after song, he amuses himself with the device. He wonder about the young Miko. His Idiot brother seems to have failed yet again at something. She has grown into a powerful striking young woman from the small confusing little girl she was. Yet his brother seemed to have lost her interest. Briefly wondering if Inuyasha even realizes what he could have had.

Quickly changing his line of thoughts back to the music. The girl had strange tastes that is for sure. His amusement going on and on for hour all the while poor Kagome is missing her favorite birthday gift from her favorite little brother.  

Kagome pouts slightly as she readies herself for a bath. Maybe it will calm her and then she will remember where she left it. Walking down to the spring after a turned down offer to Sango she wonders if it will rain. "It would be just my luck too! It will get destroyed or something if and when I ever find it." A sigh escapes her lips as she sinks into the 'just right' water.

All is well for Lord Sesshomaru.... until the battery dies. 

Growling as he can't figure it out himself. Determined to find out the problem with this device that provides him so much entertainment he seeks out the Miko for information. Knowing all to well it does not belong to him and that is should be given back, but he is not going to give it back.

Upon finding Kagome alone in the hot springs he approaches her quietly taking a moment to look at the vision before him. He is not here for that, quickly he composes himself, not that he needed much.

Suddenly he asks her what is wrong with the sound maker. "Miko, what is hindering the use of the sound device?"

Startled because he snuck up on her and she was.... eh.... naked in the hot springs she jumps back and tries to skin lower into the water with out drowning herself. He snorts lightly at her reaction. She just stairs up at him, not really sure what to do.

He does not like the not-so-prompt answer and narrows his eyes at her. Not liking to repeat himself He presents her with the device with a strong command to fix it. "Woman, you will fix this contraption."

Eying her iPod she frowns and way too boldly questions why he has what's hers. "Where did you find that?! It is mine! I've been looking everywhere for it!"

"If you were, as you claim, looking 'everywhere'. You would have found This Sesshomaru with the device hours ago. It now belongs to me and you will repair it."

Angry she yells a little to loudly. "Well then can I claim what I want if it is just lying around? No things do not work that way! I want my iPod back! My brother gave it to me as a gift! They're not cheap you know!" Totally forgetting her current state of un-dress she rises up slightly as she spoke.

Seeing her breasts before him he almost gives in. However he is stronger than this and will not be swayed by a tempting human female. No matter how tempting. His first mistake was, well, being an ass. His second mistake....  "You can no longer have the item, however if you will fix the item I will pay you whatever you want." ....Offering her anything. 

She catches his mistake and wonders if he is going to add a stipulation. Yet he does not, as he just stands there looking rather impatient. Now the question is how to use it against him....?

Then she got it! Oh she would make him pay for it. She had been over Inuyasha for some time now. Even though she and Inuyasha were still friends she wanted to move on, why not have fun with another dog demon. She was a grown woman now, mostly, so why can't she try to go after the sexiest thing on two legs. Even she can dream of shooting for the stars right? What could happen, he say no? Well, he could kill her....

Worth the risk!

"Well, let me look at it I need to know if I can fix it first. Then we can discuss any payment." Feeling suspicious he hands it to her. Oh easy, this is even better she thought. 'It only needs charging, it will always need this.'

"It is out of power. It is a easy fix, but it will happen often and I have to take it home to give it more power."

"No, I will not let you take it through to your time, woman. This Sesshomaru is no fool."

Realizing if she doesn't promise to bring it back she won't get her 'Prize' she quickly explains. "No I won't take it from you if you like it so much and you promised to pay me. I will just have to take it back and forth now and then, that is just how it is made. It only takes a couple hours to charge its power and it will run out of power if used all day."

He agrees so long as she bring it back and she claims she will and he believes her. He nods in agreement. "What, then, do you require as payment?"

She knows she has to act as if she doesn't know, or he might catch on to her plan. "I am not sure. I'll think about it while it is charging tonight."

Nodding he says he will return by morning to retrieve the item. She breaths a sigh of relief hoping he didn't catch on to her little lie.  She dully note that she is still naked, in the water but naked. He didn't even look at her like that!? She wasn't ugly.... was she? Feeling second thoughts at her half baked plan she wonders if he would feel things for her if it worked. He was practically a God to many and she was plain ol' Kagome. How could she hope to win this little game of hers?

~*~

The next morning she is climbing up the side of the old well, really wishing Inuyasha was there, but she knew he had no idea she was back yet. She fibbed and said she would be gone a few days. No need in him blowing his top over his brother.

Almost to the top she nearly falls, slipping on some slick vine. A strong hand grabs and lifts her quickly out of the well, then she was suddenly on the ground, safe. Looking up at her savior and blinking lightly as the morning sun seem to hug around the gorgeous demon Lord. She whispers a light thanks.

"It is charged and ready."

His eyes seem to light up ever so lightly, but maybe she was seeing things. He couldn't actually like it that much, he was so cold and distant how could have that much interest in the music. She was sure he was only curious about the strangeness of the device, since he probably has never seen anything like it and won't for a few hundred more years. One of a kind things have to be interesting to powerful people. After all they can have anything, but not always if there is only one of the item. Though not in Sesshomaru's case, he just took her 'one of a kind' item.

"Have you thought about your payment?" She hands the device to him and nods. He waits for her to tell him as she starts to fidget a little while acting nervous.

"Since I did as you asked and you have the devise I can really have what I want? Anything?" She had to make sure, wanting to give him a chance to realize his mistake and back out or put on rules while he could. She isn't a bad person, she just knows what she wants. Though to her it seems so silly, trading an iPod for a Demon Lord.

He then realized what he had done, however, he is a Demon of his word. He nods and affirmative. "What do you want, Miko?" After a moment he wonders if she is going to answer him.

"You."

It was only one word, she was even shocked she managed to say it. The slightly parted lips and widened golden eyes on his face told her he felt the same. He stood there for a moment of silence, he seemed to be thinking.

Her fidgeting returned and she was wondering if she was making a really big mistake. A really really big mistake.

With a light smirk on his face and a strange look in his eyes he walks close to her leaning down while grabbing a hold of her chin and lifting he places a warming kiss on her lips. He straightens up and look down on her.

"Music to my ears...."

FIN!
