Marriage 101
Chapter 1: Drunken stupors and mishaps
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I can’t believe he did this to me!” She snapped, waving the piece of paper around in the air. She growled, and snarled at anyone who so much as approached her office door.
“That…..that..JERK!” With another growl she crumbled up the paper, and tossed it just as Sango came in through her door. Kagome plopped into her seat, pouting, arms folded across her chest. Even if she didn’t squint, Sango could see the steam coming from her ears. Bending over, she picked up the paper, and moved to sit in the seat that was placed in front of Kagome’s desk.
Smoothing out the flimsy sheet, she read the letter then sighed. When she looked up, she took note of how glassy her best friends eyes looked.
“Kagome, he’s a jerk. You shouldn’t waste your tears on him. Especially if he used a letter to break up with you.”
“How could he? I gave him four years of my life. I’ve bent over backwards for him, and this is what I get? “
Before Sango could even say a word, Kagome’s phone went off. Both girls glanced at the screen, watching as Hojo’s name flashed on it. Quickly, she wiped her eyes and grabbed the phone before Sango could. Clearing her throat she answer it.
“Hojo. This is a surprise.”
“ Hey Kags. “
“I didn’t think you would be calling--”
“Yeah I just wanted to make sure you got the letter.”
“I got it.”
“Okay. But listen I wanted to--”
Leaning back, Kagome glanced at Sango and hummed in thought. “Oh don’t worry about it--”
“—Tell you that I forgot to mention your stuff is being shipped to your moms place. “
“ Wait….what?” She leaned forward, gripping the edge of her desk.
“Yeah. Eri wanted your stuff out today. Don’t worry your—“
“ Did you call my mom?!” She had all but screamed into the phone.
Hojo paused for a second and then had added a hesitant yes.
“You…you….ugh! Bastard!” Then she hung up on her ex, slammed the phone right on her desk and screeched her frustration. It had even made Sango nervous. An angry Kagome was a bad Kagome.
“That asshole is sending my stuff to my moms place! Because Eri, didn’t want to see it! I can’t believe this! “
Her fingers ran through her hair before the water works began. Getting up, Sango moved around the desk to give her long time friend a tight hug. Kagome cried for a few minutes, before taking a deep breath and pulling away.
“You know what you need?”
With a sniffle she shook her head.
“A night out. We’ll dress up sexy, wear our hooker heels, drink, dance and have fun. Who knows maybe even get you laid. “
Kagome let out a bitter laugh. “Oh?”
“You know what they say! In order to get over someone you have to get under someone. All you need is a few good romps in the sheets!”
There was never a chance for Kagome to even protest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Oi! Asshole! Why don’t you answer that girl Kagura’s call! She keeps blowing up my phone!”
InuYasha huffed in annoyance as hi phone rang again, showing his older brother that the wind witch continued to call. Naturally, he didn’t grace him with an answer. Ignoring the call, InuYasha watched his brother flip through papers and sign off on some of them. “Look, a bunch of us are going to go out for a few drinks. Come on. Get out of this stuffy office. “ The younger brother suggested.
“ Unlike you, brother, I have responsibilities that need tending to.”
Before InuYasha can even reply, the phone rang once more, causing both of the Inu brothers to glance at the flashing screen. Growling his displeasure, Sesshomaru snatched up the phone just as his half brother went to reach for it. Swiping the screen, Sesshomaru pressed the phone to his elfin ear.
“ What is it woman that you find the incessant need to harass my half brother?”
“ Well if you had answered the first few times I called then I would not be bothering your ridiculous half brother.” The sultry voice on the other end had said, her tone holding an annoyed lilt as she spoke.
Amber hues glanced into matching ones that belong to his brother. “ What is it that you want woman?”
Hearing the throaty chuckle had actually caused the CEO’s eye to twitch. Gods shoot him down now. Put him out of his misery.
“Does your intended need an excuse to call?”
Oh he can practically see the amusement dancing in her ruby orbs. Still he said nothing. Kagura waited for a few moments, a manicured claw lightly tapping the backside of her bedazzled phone. “Actually, there is a reason dear. There is a banquet that is coming up in the next month, I have received an invitation. “
Catching on to what she was saying, Seshomaru resisted the urge to actually growl his displeasure. If she would stop beating around the bush, and get to the point it would be much appreciated.
“I wish us to go.”
“I am going—“
“TOGETHER. It has been some time since we were last seen in the public eye. Would you no believe that bitch Ayane had the audacity to suggest that you were embarrassed by me? I will not stand for such trivial gossip Sesshomaru!” Kagura seethed, eyes flashing dangerously as she thought of the Southern Heiress gossiping about her abilities to pleasure the Western Heir. Oh how she wished they still lived in the feudal era. She would have slit the cat demoness’ throat open for that remark.
The cow.
Throughout the entire tirade Sesshomaru had remained quiet.
“Sesshom—‘’
“Very well.” He mumbled, not to pleased, but wanting to end the call with Kagura quickly. Hearing the demoness actually squeal her pleasure had caused Sesshomaru to actually flinch. The ringing of her loud voice left a ringing in his sensitive ears. As Kagura went to say something else, the phone had clicked, signifying the end of the call. Looking to her phone, she pouted, but it didn’t last long. She was excited. After a few weeks of not going out together, they were finally going to be seen in public—as a couple.
Even her father had pointed out her inability to hold Sesshomaru’s interest. The blow to her ego had Kagura caused Kagura to lash out at the help. Most of the workers under her fathers employ were peasents, people with no name, family, nothing. So it was not as if someone would miss them if the had suddenly…disappeared. Due to her tantrum, three of the helpers needed to be replaced, much to the chagrin of her father.
Setting her phone back down, Kagura smiled to herself. She wouldn’t fail in her duties as Sesshomaru’s intended and she certainly won’t fail in obtaining his affections. Her heart thrummed gently beneath her chest, a hand brought up to press her palm firmly against the beating organ. Butterflies fluttered in her belly, the thought of Sesshomaru loving her made her feel flushed and faint. It was a wondrous feeling really.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Growling, Sesshomaru had reached up to rub his aching temples. A glance at the glowing numbers of his clock had showed that it was getting late. Everyone had already left the office for the weekend, so imagine his surprise when InuYasha strolled in, leaving the door opened.
A puppy ear twitched, clearly in agitation at his brother’s workaholic tendencies. His brother might not care about him, but InuYasha had always, and still does, admire his older half brother. Sesshomaru was the one he looked up to, the one he turned to when they were younger. Though their father did dote on InuYasha, to him there was no one like Sesshomaru.
“Let’s go.”
Sesshomaru’s response was a perked eyebrow. Didn’t the fool see he still had paperwork that needed to be done for next months quarter meeting?
The expressive eyes that belonged to InuYasha had rolled, clearly annoyed. Stomping his way towards his older brother, he slammed the folder shut, pulled it away so he can place it in the filing cabinet. Grabbing his brothers coat off the rack, he tossed it to Sesshomaru, who caught it with ease. They glared at each other, and for once Sesshomaru decided to indulge InuYasha his time. With a small sneer, he put on his coat after getting up, and strolled out the office, InuYasha in tow. It reminded him of the time when they were children, and his younger half brother would follow him around. The memory was still fresh in Sesshomaru’s mind.
Sesshomaru was marching around the frozen garden, snow crunching beneath his boots. His hair fluttered in the cool, winter air, his mokomoko trailing behind him while he maneuvered his way to the frozen koi pond. A few ways back, he had caught his brothers scent. Looking at him through the corner of his eyes, Sesshomaru watched his brother hide behind some of the bushes.
The pup had decided to attempt to sneak up on Sesshomaru. His younger self smiled a bit, and had continued on his way, knowing that his brother was stalking him from behind. The moment that InuYasha did strike though, Sesshomaru had jumped out of the way, watching as his brother landed into a pile of snow. The flurries scattered about upon impact.
He couldn’t help but grin a bit as InuYasha poked his head up, snow piled high on his head before it was shaken off.
He blinked owlishly at Sesshomaru, darting up to his brother. “You’re so fast!” He gasped. Sesshomaru had only ‘Hn’ and reached out to tweak his brothers ear, until he tensed. Turning his head to the side, Sesshomaru caught sight of his mother, who in turn glowered at the hand that was rubbing InuYasha’s puppy ear. “Go inside, InuYasha. You have studying to do.” With a pout, his younger brother huffed, but had listened to his big brother. When he sensed his younger brother was in the warmth of the Western Palace, Sesshomaru approached his mother.
“Mother—“
The sound of her slapping Sesshomaru, and a feminine growl reverberating in her chest had caused the sound of nearby animals to quiet down. “Touch that filthy mongrel again , and I shall tear your arm right from the socket. “ Dark blood painted the left side of his cheek, contrasting greatly with his alabaster skin, making it look paler then normal. “ Treat him like he is family, and I will rid the Western Palace of the little beast.” She hissed dangerously. Sesshomaru knew she meant it to.
He watched as she turned, gliding away from her injured son, never noticing the fact that he had wore a pained expression for a brief moment. He would do what he had to survive his mother’s wrath, and keep his brother safe. Even when it would mean walking away from him.
“Oi!”
Brought out of his musings, Sesshomaru glanced at InuYasha. “Where ya even listening you asshole?”
When he received no answer, InuYasha snorted. “Course not.” A clawed digit scratched the side of his cheek. “ We’re going to the Golden Sparrow. “ Sesshomaru had heard of the place. It was a sanctuary of sorts for all. The owner themself was said to be a witch who had lost her love during a civil war nearly 500 years ago. The woman’s heart apparently never healed from the loss. Not only was the place a sanctuary, but they had served the finest of liquor, food, and even women on occasion. But those were only on special nights, such as on the blood moon, and only for VIP personal.
The ride there wasn’t long, but with InuYasha’s need to chat, it felt like years. Couldn’t he just shut up?
Giving the valet his car keys, and receiving a ticket for it, both the brothers walked inside the building, already greeted by a few of his empolyee’s. The leach that was known as Miroku, who managed to surprise Sesshomaru by not having a sexual harassment case filed against him, the arrogant wolf, and best friend of InuYasha, Kouga, and the immortal human known as Bankotsu.
“Greetings Sesshomaru!” Miroku had said politely enough.
“Huh! I didn’t peg you as the type to come to a bar, Sesshomaru. What did your brother do to convince you?” Bankostu had asked, tossing back what appeared to be a shot of liquor.
“Half-brother.” They said in unison, to which Bankostu had waved off in a dismissive gesture.
“ Same difference.”
Sesshomaru scowled.
InuYasha snorted.
Deciding to ease the tension, Kouga spoke up. “Yo, dog breath! Let’s drink already! I didn’t come here to chat about how you managed to get Sesshomaru out of his stuff office. It’s Friday damn it!”
“Yeah!” Brushing past a rigid Sesshomaru, InuYasha plopped himself next to Kouga, Sesshomaru moving to sit next to his brother. They had all ordered a drink, four of the men chatting while Sesshomaru remained quiet. It wasn’t until the scent of jasmine filled his nose through the various smells in the high class club caught his attention.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You look great Kagome! Don’t worry so much!” Sango had gushed while applying a nude gloss over her lips. Kagome rubbed them together once she was done as Sango went about fluffing her hair just a bit. “Go take a look at yourself.”
Doing as she was told, the petite girl had turned towards the long length mirror, eyes widening as she looked at her reflection. She turned left, pivoted right, and blushed at her bare back. The dress was backless, the sleeves long, the hem stopping just mid thigh, and the black sequins glittered silver in the dim lighting of her room. Sango approached her with a pair black heels for her that would no doubt add a good four, almost five inches to her short frame.
Slipping them on with ease, Kagome had smoothed out the invisible wrinkles of her dress, blood red nails catching her attention once more. The color was so…..sexy. Just like the dress.
Sango who was wearing a magenta dress, with black lace embroidered on it, slipped on a pair of nude pumps, her hair cascading over a naked shoulder in loose waves. Flipping her brown hair, she had slipped on a few golden bracelets, grabbed a black clutch and motioned to the door. Kagome grabbed a silver clutch, stuffing her phone inside while moving towards the door.
Once it was locked, they headed to the car, getting in and heading to Golden Sparrow, where Sango had the hook up apparently. Free drinks all night long! Just the way to start off the weekend. Her best friend was right. She needed this. Especially after the lame ass breakup she had with Hojo.
Giving the valet her keys, Sango received a ticket for it, before they headed towards the entrance. Immediately, they greeted with loud music, a lot of talking, giggling, the smell of alcohol and cigars. Inside there was a dance floor with couples on it grooving to the music, a black counter for the bar, with matching circular tables. Up the steps was a second floor, velvet curtains tied by gold rope revealed more comfortable seats. A bouncer stood by the entrance of the staircase, muscled arms folded across his burly chest. Violet hues glittered dangerously at anyone who wasn’t VIP that dared to approached.
The place was really beautiful if Kagome stepped back to admire the oriental theme it held. Even the waitresses that worked here dressed the part in sultry Chinese dresses, their hair done in elegant buns with decorative pins. Azure hues had then landed on a pair of amber ones before darting away, a blush staining the apples of her cheeks.
“This way. I see two seats available at the bar.” Sango led her towards it, where the bar tender waved at the girls, a grin splitting his lips.
“Isn’t that….”
“Kohaku! Where’s Shippou?” Sango had asked while reaching the bar and leaning over it to give her brother a hug. Said fox demon appeared suddenly, catching Kagome and Sango in a hug at the same time. Turning towards her brothers best friend, Kagome smiled, reaching up to ruffle his fiery red hair. “I see you still rock the bow?”
Shippou blushed, lightly brushing Kagome’s hand away, earning a giggle from her. “Yeah yeah! It was my moms give me a break already.” He grumbled good naturedly. “I didn’t know you worked here.”
“Well Kohaku helped me out with the job since I needed one, and it pays really good.”
Nodding her head, Kagome was then struck with a thought. “How’s art school?”
Shippou shrugged. “It’s going. I actually have a few paintings going up in a exhibit in about two weeks.”
“That’s great Shippou!” Kagome gushed.
The group of four chatted for a few more minutes before both boys had to get back to work. Kohaku had went to make his sister and her best friend a few drinks, handing it to them. Holding their drinks up, Sango let out a thoughtful hum.
“Here’s to…being single! To the bastards we meet, and the ones who lose us along the way!” She downed part of drink, smacking her lips as Kagome followed suit. She giggled a bit, staring down at her half empty. Sango placed her hand ontop of Kagome’s, giving it a firm squeeze.
“You’ll be happy again. You’ll see. It’s his loss. Not yours.” She said, Kagome giving her a curt nod. If that were true why did she feel like utter shit? Kagome worked hard, she gave 110% to everything she had done. Four years of her life down the drain. She had thought that with Hojo being all secretive the last few weeks, was a sign that he was going to propose to her, something she tried to be oblivious to. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. It turned out he was sleeping around with Eri for the last year or so. On and off he said, but it wasn’t until now that he couldn’t deny his feelings for her highschool friend.
Without another thought, she down the rest of her drink in one shot. Sango was right. Tonight she needed to forget that bastard, and move on.
She felt a pair of eyes watching her, and turned to see that it were the same amber ones she spotted upon entering the club.
Shifting in her seat, she motioned for Kohaku to give her another drink. Turning her bare back to the demon, Kagome had sipped on the fruity concoction, trying to ignore the heated look. Turning her head slightly, she peered over her shoulder to see that the demon had looked away. A small part of her was disappointed, but with a drink in hand, she soon forgot the demon.
Sesshomaru could not help but be enraptured by the woman. For a human she was absolutely stunning. There was no doubt about it. Even a few other males in the club had noticed her, but it wasn’t just the girls beauty that called out to him. No there was something else there. Something powerful, untapped…raw. Her scent was clean, unlike most human females. Even her eyes, those deep, expressive BLUE eyes were a commodity among the Japanese. He never seen such eyes on a human before. Then again, even a demoness who had blue eyes would never show such expressions.
He could see everything, smell every emotion, and it sent his blood racing. InuYasha and Miroku looked to see what had captured Sesshomaru’s interest so thoroughly, and when they did, InuYasha nearly spat out his own drink. There was his highschool classmate. He would recognize those eyes anywhere. How did he not notice it was her when she walked in? Maybe it was the dress? The Kagome he knew never wore anything so….so. Well she just never wore anything like that.
Either way she looked a-fucking-mazing. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t be hitting on her this night, considering he’s been dating her cousin, who neglected to mention that Kagome was around Last he heard, she had gotten over the crush she had on him, and started dating some human guy. What was his name. Hobo?
Seeing his brother stare though, and so openly, made InuYasha grin into his cup. The bastard would never know what hit him. Not when it came to this particular human. Miroku, however, wasted no time in hurrying out of his chair and approaching the two lovely ladies. When he had their attention, he grinned at them, causing the blue eye one to perk a brow, and the brown eyed one to narrow her gaze just a bit.
“Hello, I must admit. I have never seen such beauties before in my life!” Miroku started, earning a unlady like snort from Kagome, and a dubious look from Sango. He grasped Sango’s hand in his own, placing a chaste kiss on her knuckles. The girls cheeks blushed a pretty pink, Kagome blinking in surprise at the action.
“I was wondering, when this night is over, would you do me the honor and bare my chi—“
SMACK!
A red hand print appeared on his cheek, but he didn’t seem phased in the least. In fact, he seemed almost enamored with the girl that just struck him. “Pervert!” She hissed, which in turn sent Kagome into a fit of giggles.
“Miroku, damn it! Get away from them! They ain’t interested in giving you brats!”
Kagome knew that voice. She knew it well, in fact, it was one that had made her heart thump wildly in chest once. Now, not so much. Instead, dread filled her very being. After the humiliating display she had received in highschool, she didn’t want to think of InuYasha again!
With a gulp, she turned her attention to who the voice belonged to. “I..InuYasha.” She said in a near breathless whisper. Straightening her back, and lifting her chin, Kagome eyed the half demon with curiosity.
“Hey Kagome! Been awhile.”
“It has.”
“I didn’t think you were back.”
“I didn’t have a choice. My mom got sick, and the shrine needed to be taken care of. I’m sure you knew about that from my cousin at least.” He did, but didn’t bring it up. It was best not to mention either cousins name to both girls. After all they did have a falling out. He wasn’t surprised that Kikyou neglected to mention that she was back though.
“So how have you been?”
“I’ve been good.” Kohaku had placed a new drink in front of Kagome, who looked at him in surprise. Leaning over the glossy top, he motioned towards a ruby eyed demon that sat in VIP.
“From the demon guy over there. It’s an apple martini. “ She blushed prettily, and lifted the glass in thanks towards him, who in turn raised his own. He was really handsome, those dark waves of hair framed a perfectly angle face, his nose aristocratic, and perfect. Even his smile could send pleasant shivers down her spine, if it weren’t for the fact that he radiated something she didn’t like. Taking a sip of the drink, she turned her attention back to InuYasha.
“You look good.” He said.
“Thanks. “ Came her clipped tone. “What are you doing here anyways? You never came to places like this?”
The conversation carried on between the two old schoolmates as Sesshomaru watched from his seat. For once, he was unsure of how to approach a woman. Normally, they sought him out. Seeing his brother at ease with the girl left a bitter taste in his mouth. He caught parts of their conversations, intrigued that they knew eachother to begin with. Sesshomaru had sipped on his drink, before ordering something stronger.
Hours ticked by, and before anyone knew it, it was well passed two in the morning. Both human girls were drunk, and even the group of men that decided to unwind at this club were well sloshed. The almighty Sesshomaru didn’t laugh like InuYasha, or slur like Bankostu. Heck he didn’t have a woman sitting in his lap like Miroku. But the fog the alcohol had provided was heavy in his mind, making his movement’s sluggish. That girl, the blue eyed one, Kagome was nestled perfectly against his side. She was chatting with Kouga, who laughed at something she said. A female wolf, with green eyes, led him away, frowning as she dragged him to the exit. Kouga had flipped off InuYasha who grinned at his best friend.
The night was still young, and seeing Sesshomaru give his attention to Kagome was the best shit he had seen all night. That and watching Kouga get dragged out by his angry, and pregnant mate. Seeing how they fawned over each other in their drunken state was amusing. Almost like they were made for eachother. To bad Kagome wasn’t a demon. Then it would be perfect. Sesshomaru wouldn’t have to worry about being embarrassed by half demon kids. It wouldn’t tarnish the Tashio line in the way InuYasha himself did.
Still, even if Kagome was human, they looked good together. Really good in fact. Better then he and Kagura. Damn. He forgot about her. Maybe he should mention something to Sesshomaru? He was about to until seeing Kagome kiss him right on his mouth caused him to stop and gape. Sesshomaru didn’t even protest in the least!
Deciding more drinks were in order, they had agreed to go somewhere different. Paying the tab at the bar, and leaving a generous tip, the group marched out the club, and into the limo that was waiting for them.
They had popped a bottle of wine that was in the limo, pouring it in the glasses that were provided, while spilling some on the carpet. “CHEERS!” Rang out in the back space while everyone downed their drinks. More was offered and more was drank. Their inhibition long gone by all the glasses of drinks from the club hours before. Just how long were they riding in the limo, no one knew. At this point no one cared.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eyes snapped awake, the bright light blinding and causing her head to pound. Groaning, Kagome flopped back against the plush pillows, trying to will away the ache she felt in her brain. The sheets were cool against her flushed skin.
Snuggling into the warmth the body behind her provided. The arm around her waist tightened it’s hold on her, which Kagome found comfortable.
‘Mmm…It was all a dream. Wait—‘
Sitting up abruptly, Kagome winced as the morning rays beamed through the parted curtains. Licking her chapped lips, Kagome looked down to the silk sheets, the around the maroon carpet. Her dress, and panties were tossed around, shoes on opposite sides of the room. Men clothes littered the ground next to hers, causing the girl to bring her hand up to her mouth and squeak.
It wasn’t until she caught sight of the twinkling sapphire on her ring finger, with a platinum, not gold, PLATINUM band. Lifting the blankets, and trying to still her rapidly beating heart, Kagome saw the demonic arm, and on his ring finger was a matching band to her own.
A light headed feeling washed over her.
“What—“
The arm moved, and she squeaked once more, jumping out of the bed like a cat. She watched the handsome demon turn onto his side, throwing his arm over his eyes, and falling back asleep.
‘Just what the hell happened last night?!’ She screeched in her head, causing herself to flinch again.
Kagome gathered her belongings, tiptoing to the bathroom. Hurriedly, she dressed, trying to focus as she put on her heels. Her phone buzzed, showing that Sango had texted her five times. Each one asking if she was okay? Was she still alive? Sending her friend a reply, Kagome chewed the inside of her cheek, gazing down on her phone.
“M..Maybe there are pictures.”
The gut wrenching feeling returned, and shakily Kagome unlocked her phone, opened up the images, and scrolled through. What she saw made her want to faint. There were pictures and pictures of her and Sesshomaru with the others. Her and Sesshomaru kissing. Her and Sesshomaru getting married by someone dressed as that American singer Elvis! For gods sake what the fuck happened!!!
Everyone in the pictures looked so ecstatic for the couple!
Nearly dropping her phone, Kagome grew sick, and couldn’t help but slide down the wall. It explained why she was sporting rather expensive looking rings! Flashbacks of her and Sesshomaru in bed caused her to flush.
The feel of his teeth nipping her flesh, of clawed digits toying with her ruddy nipples, before ghosting over her taut belly, and toying with her nether lips nearly sent her hyperventilating !
‘So good! Keep going. Just like that!’
Hearing her own throaty voice had Kagome press her thighs together, and cover her eyes. She didn’t want to remember! She didn’t want any of this!
Using the wall to hold herself up, Kagome tried her best not to stumble out of the room. Her mussed hair was tied up in a sloppy bun, her make up all but sweated off. The sandalwood scent that belonged to Sesshomaru clung to her body, making her shiver. Creeping towards the door, Kagome had all but abandoned ship, rushing down the hall, and into the elevator. People glanced her way, causing the girl to fidget.
They knew.
They knew she got so wasted, and slept with one of Japan’s most eligible bachelor’s. No. Not only slept but MARRIED. Oh god. Oh god. What was she going to do? How did the courts handle a demon marriage? She could get a divorce right? No. They had slept together, isn’t that consummating it ? She was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn’t hear the demon woman speaking to her.
“Miss?”
“Huh? I’m sorry..what?”
The demoness chuckled. “That’s a lovely ring your mate gave to you.”
Glancing down at the offending object, Kagome had glanced up at the demoness. “T..Thanks. “
Nothing more was said on it, so with a quick exit out of the hotel, Kagome spotted Sango, and jumped in the car.
“Go. Just go go go!”
Sango wasn’t sure what was going on, but hearing the urgency in her friends voice had her pressing her foot down on the gas so hard, that the car skidded before taking off. What the hell had Kagome so spooked that she would yell at her to get going!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru had awoken by the annoying ringing on his phone. As he grunted his displeasure, he grasped his phone before answering with a groggy “What?”
“Is that any way to speak to your intended? Where are you? You were supposed to be home hours ago.” Kagura snapped, clearly irritated that he had not arrived at their home. He remembered going out, and a pair of blue eyes, but not much else. Glancing around the room, his eyes widened a fraction. “I’m…” Where the hell was he? Sitting up in bed, he noticed the bed was cold, empty, but the scent of Jasmine and cinnamon clung to the sheets.
“Well?”
“I will call you back.”
“Sesshomaru don’t you—“
Click.
Falling back onto his sheet, the dog demon pressed his palm to his right eye, trying to alleviate the stabbing pain he felt. Something glittering caught his attention, and as he raised his hand, his eyes widened that much more. There on his ring finger was a wedding band. Sesshomaru was a man of very few words, but the ones that came out next were very much well deserved.
“What the fuck!”
Who would have thought that the CEO of Tashio & Co. would use such language. Getting out of bed, and fighting off the wave of nausea that fought to claim him, Sesshomaru rushed around the room, gathering his things and dressing. He called for Jaken to pick him up. The retainer squawked on the other end, going to do what he was told.
Scrolling through his contacts, Sesshomaru called InuYasha, who answered the phone gruffly.
“We have a situation. Meet me at the estate. There is much to discuss about last nights….activities. “
Giving his half brother no room to argue, Sesshomaru didn’t wait long for Jaken to get there. The drive to the estate wasn’t long, but to Sesshomaru it felt like an eternity. Deciding to see if there were any pictures of what happened last night, Sesshomaru opened up the gallery on his phone, and scrolled through the pictures. There pressed into his side was a human woman. They were the same blue eyes he envisioned just moments ago while on the phone with Kagura. There on the dainty hand she had extended out to the camera was a sapphire ring, with a wedding band. Even Sesshomaru who was normally stoic was smirking down at the human girl, who was gazing up at Sesshomaru with open adoration. Not even Kagura showed such affections with him so openly. His clawed thumb traced the slope of her neck, before he gritted his teeth.
No.
This would not do.
Not in the least.
Instead of deleting the pictures he glanced through, Sesshomaru had opted to keep them. Just so he can use them to track the girl down. At least that’s what he told himself. Upon arriving to the estate, he didn’t wait for Jake to open the door, and instead had done it himself. There really was no time to wait. If word got out to the press, they were sure to hound them like vultures. Sesshomaru didn’t need his name dragged through mud, not the way his fathers was.
The pebbles crunched beneath his Italian shoes as he made his way towards the entrance. He ignored the maid that greeted him, and went to the kitchen where his father was with his human mate, and InuYasha.
They were all sipping on tea, InuYasha nursing a nasty hangover.
“We have a situation.”
“Oh? What is so important that you deem it necessary to visit your fathers home?” Touga had asked, clearly piqued by whatever circumstance had brought Sesshomaru back.
“I’m married.” He blurted out. Causing everyone to sit quietly in their seats. No sound was made, not even InuYasha who stared shocked at Sesshomaru.
“ Well who is the unfortunate bitch?” He snapped after his silence. Giving him a glare, Sesshomaru cleared his throat. His father pressing the issue at hand. “Well?” He didn’t like Kagura in the least, but the business merger between his company and Naraku’s would be beneficial. It wouldn’t do well for Sesshomaru to have this leaked out to the public. Not with his impending marriage to Kagura. If there was going to be one now.
Instead of answering he showed his brother the picture of he and Kagome, which sent InuYasha sputtering in disbelief!
“YOU MARRIED KAGOME HIGURASHI ?!”
