The Pure Miko

 

Chapter 8

 

Kagome walked into the weapons classroom. The entire room had been transformed from being full of desks to being full of training pads and various weapons. The sun radiated into the open blinds.

 

“Kagome,” Kurama greeted.

 

“Hi!”

 

“So, how was your weekend?” he asked as they both moved to sit on a blue training pad.

 

“Not bad. I have work all the time now.”

 

“Doesn't your boss give you time off.”

 

“Yeah, I had my last day off with you last week.”

 

Kurama's thoughts flashed back to that day. He knew that he would never forget that night. They kiss that they had shared was so amazing that he had a terrible time in letting her leave his side. He didn't know why, but he had this possessive urge to keep her close to him at all times. He has kissed her after that occasion of course, but the first was just so meaningful that it seemed to stand out above all of the others.

 

He laughed in his head silently at the memory of their encounter the day after their date. Kagome and he were walking to her car so that she could go to work, talking ambiently to each other about whatever they thought to talk about. When she was about to get in her car to leave he had placed a small kiss on her lips. What had surprised him the most was the fact that she had pulled back in announce. He had at first thought that he had overstepped his boundaries since they had only been going out since the other night but he soon learned differently. Kagome had pulled his shirt down, forcing him to move to her eyes level, and kissed him with so much passion that he was almost floored.

 

“Now that is a good bye kiss.” She had said before she kissed him again and left.

 

Kurama had to admit to himself that he was speechless. Although that did seem to be happening a lot to him when she was around.

 

“Doesn't your boss give you any days off?”

 

“Rarely. It is very busy at the office. I have a lot of work that needs to be done. Sometimes I am still at work at two in the morning.”

 

“One in the morning!”

 

“Yeah, I have to make up time because of classes.”

 

“Gosh, Kagome that is terrible. Maybe you should work somewhere else that has better hours.” Kurama said.

 

Not that I am one to talk. He thought in private.

 

“But I really like what I do. You have no idea how much I get to do even though I am just the personal assistant. Plus, I get to go to lunch when ever I want to.”

 

“Oh, really? Does that mean I can take you to lunch tomorrow since you don't have any classes.”

 

The Pure Miko smiled at him in delight. “Why yes it does.”

 

“Then I will see you at 11:30 tomorrow for lunch.”

 

“Okay, I work in the main building. That's the President's building. There will be signs as to where you have to go.”

 

“I hope you come hungry.”

 

 

Kagome sat next to him as the weapon instructor told them what they were going to learn that day. He held a sword in his hand, demonstrating what they had to do. As they were told to pair up in twos to work on their forms, Kurama made sure that he was close enough to her so that no one could confuse the fact that she was claimed all ready. Wait? Did he just think that? Did he just say that he claimed Kagome as his? That is not his normal thinking. Something was happening to him and he didn't know what it was. Maybe he should talk to Hiei about this. Although Fire apparition didn't talk much he usually was good at listening to him. Heck, with all of the time that he spent with Mukuro he might know what was wrong with him.

 

Kagome and Kurama both took a fake wooden sword off of the rake that was on a wall. They moved to a small spot in the room that would not disturb any other there other classmates and started to practice the move that they were shown.

 

“So what are you doing tomorrow night?” Kurama asked.

 

“I have work. Why? What did you have in mind?” Kagome asked curiously.

 

“Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me and my friends? We were planning on going out to eat as a group. Most of us are busy most of the time so it is not often that we just get to hang out. Besides I bet they would love to meet you!”

 

Oh, shit! I can't go because of them. Yusuke might recognize my scent!

 

“Oh, I'm sorry I can't! I have been so busy with work lately that I was lucky to have actually gotten off once last week.”

 

“Okay, maybe another time.”

 

“Definitely.” She said in pure determination.

 

Yeah, definitely not anytime soon. Kagome promised in her thoughts.

 

“So you say that you know the sword, Kagome?” the instructor asked as he came to stand beside them.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Then why may I ask did you sign up for this class?”

 

“Oh, I don't know how to use a whip very well so I figured that I would learn it here.”

 

Oh course this was not true. Kagome had in fact just learned to perfectly use the whip a little while ago. Shippo had taught it to her. That was one of the few weapons that she didn't know how to use before so she got her son to teach it to her. Like Youko Kurama, Shippo was very good with the whip. Kagome now thought that it was a kitsune trait. Anyway it didn't take long for her to learn. She seemed to have a knack for handling weapons. The sword and the bow being her best in her opinion.

 

“Then why don't you show me something that you can do since you seem to think that you know it all already."

 

“Well, okay, I guess I would do that.” Kagome said in uncertainty. She didn't know what to do. She had never used her abilities to show off before. It just wasn't her.

 

“I am waiting, Miss. Higurashi.”

 

“Okay, lets see…” Kagome said.

 

She swung the sword around and started to weave it around her body. She tossed it between her hands at different intervals, never staying in the same pattern. She rapidly grew speed with her wooden blade until it was hard to see where her hands were. She swung the moke sword into the air. She spun around, caught it, and then spun around with it posed in a flawless defensive stance.

 

Kagome was met with applause when she finished her performance. She smiled at them and gave thanks. She didn't think that it was that good. If they actually knew what she could do instead of that child's play that she just showed them then they would really be clapping, that or running in fear, either one.

 

Kurama watched Kagome perform for their instructor. When an audience started to form, he stepped back to let them watch her. He saw them applaud her, and he joined in on the praise. He was not concentrating on her though. He was analyzing her movements. That little child's display was nothing of what she could do, that he knew. His new girlfriend had more experience than she was letting on. He could tell with the way that she move and the way that she handled the sword, even if it was a fake. She held a confidence in her when handling it that told him that she was not inexperienced. He did have to wonder though as to where she got it. She obviously knew what she was doing. It was also obvious that she had been doing it for a long time. They question that Kurama wanted at the moment was when and how. But the more important question that he had running through his head was, why. Why would she need to know this skill? Did she know about the existence of demons in this and the next world? All of these questions started to lead him to think that Kagome knew what and who she was. The question was why didn't she say anything to him? She had to know that he was a demon in someway, but yet she didn't act on that fact. This fact just told him that she did not find him to be a threat. This told him that she didn't have anything against demons in general. Kurama greatly comforted by this fact. It was a nice fact to know that his girlfriend that he adored wasn't going to purify him to hell for all eternity. That might put a dampened on their relationship. But Kurama knew that he could and would never hurt her. She held a power over him that even his mother didn't have.

 

“That was very impressive Kagome. Where did you learn that?”

 

“From my best friend. He taught me everything that I know about the sword.”

 

“Well, he knows what he is doing if he could teach you that. I hope that you will bring him to class one day and show a demonstration to the class with him?”

 

“Um, I don't know. He is very busy with his work. I doubt that he will have any time to come.”

 

“Anytime is fine, my dear. I am sure that you can convince him.”

 

“I'll try, but I can't promise anything.”

 

“I hope that you do. I would love to meet your teacher.”

 

“I'll see what I can do.” Kagome replied.

 

Kagome, however, knew that was not going to happen. There was no way that she could bring Sesshomaru to class with her. Kurama was looking at her suspiciously at it was. Yes, she noticed the way that he was looking at her, and she didn't think that it was because she was his girlfriend. If there were someway that she could bring Sesshomaru here it would be impossible because it would raise suspicion with Kurama.

 

“Yes, well, I hope you can bring him. Class you are dismissed.”

 

The class placed their wooden swords back where they got them and left. Kurama stayed behind and waited for Kagome to get her stuff. When she finally walked out of the classroom, they both walked to her car.

 

“Where did you learn that?” Kurama asked on the way.

 

“I told you I learned from my best of best friends. He helped me with so many things. I owe him a lot!”

 

“How is that?”

 

“Well, he listened and talked to me. He understood me. He helped me defend myself.”

 

“I see. But I have a question?”

 

“And what is that?”

 

“Why did you have to learn to defend yourself?”

 

“I was being stalked by someone, and he wouldn't go away.”

 

“Wha—”

 

“Oh, he's gone now.”

 

“What did he want.”

 

“He just had a thing with me. I don't really want to talk about it though.”

 

“Okay, well how is your Math class going?”

 

“I'm actually getting it now. I'll be asking for your help if I don't get it anymore.”

 

“I look forward to helping you with anything that you need.” Kurama said seductively.

 

They arrived at Kagome's car. She opened her car door and was now leaning against her car door. “Oh, really? Is that so? Will you help me with my ever need.” she said seductively back.

 

Kagome knew what she was being seductive right now, but she couldn't help it. He just brought out that other side of her that wanted to play. Besides she wasn't fifteen anymore. She was in college now and she was past all of that high school drama. She was in need of a man or, in her case, a demon.

 

“I would love to help you with anything that you need, my sweet.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes, really.” Kurama sealed his promise with a kiss full of passion. Kagome leaned into him, moving herself away from her vehicle so that she could lean on him for support. He is a great kisser that was for sure. He brought his hands up to press her against him. She wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss that was making her go weak in the knees.

 

And then Kagome was hit with the curse of her life, her curse of being a woman, the curse of being known as the Pure Miko. Yes, Kagome cursed her coworkers' bad timing!

 

“Kagome!” Sagero yelled as he ran up to her.

 

“Sagero, what are you doing here?” Kagome exclaimed.

 

“Mr. Taisho needs you at work. As in a.s.a.p.”

 

Kagome moaned in frustration and annoyance. She couldn't believe this! It was just getting really good!

 

Sesshomaru is so getting it when I get in the office! Kagome thought.

 

“Oh, okay. Um, Kurama this is Sagero. Sagero this is Kurama. Sagero works with me, and Kurama is my boyfriend and classmate.” Kagome said in an introduction.

 

“Hey, nice to meet you. Kagome, we really need to go. He needs your help now.”

 

“Okay, I'll see you later Kurama.” Kagome said as she turned back to her boyfriend.

 

“Okay, I'll see you tomorrow for lunch.”

 

“Yep,” Kagome said she gave him a kiss on the lips before she turned to get in her car.

 

“You need a ride?”

 

“Yeah, I had someone drop me off while they went to a meeting downtown.”

 

“Kay, get in.”

 

Sagero and Kagome left in a few short moments after that.

 

Kurama walked back to a tree that he and Kagome had passed on the way.

 

“Hiei, we need to talk.”

 

“Huh, you want to tell me that you are sleeping with a mortal.”

 

“No, I need you to tell me about everything you know about mikos. I know a lot, but you have been in contact with them before. And you might be able to tell me what is wrong with me.”

 

Hiei jumped down from his perch on the tree branch and walked with him.

 

“What do you need to know?”

 

“Kagome is a pure miko.”

 

Hiei didn't say anything. He waited for Kurama to continue.

 

“The problem is that I think that she knows more than she is letting on. She knows how to use a sword really well. I would say that she could beat even you, Hiei.”

 

The demon that was just mentioned only huffed at him.

 

“And she says that she knows how to use a bow and I don't think that she is telling a lie. She knows how to use those kinds of weapons, and apparently her best friend taught her how to use them.”

 

“And the fact that she doesn't tell me anything about her family makes me wonder. And then there is the fact that I have become possessive of her.”

 

“It is the fox.”

 

“What?”

 

“Youko Kurama has chosen his mate.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Kurama! I don't care about your problems. You figure them out.” Hiei disappeared after that to do whatever he did during the day.

 

 

 

 

“Sesshomaru!” Kagome yelled as she walked out of the elevator on the top floor of the main building.

 

“Miko, lower your voice. I am right here. You have no need to yell for me.”

 

Kagome looked next to the elevator to find him waiting for her. No one else was on the floor. She could tell from her miko senses.

 

“Okay, then can you tell me what was so important that you would interrupt me at school.”

 

“You were all ready out of class.”

 

“Yes, but I was busy with something. Do you mind explaining yourself as to why you sent Sagero? I have my cell phone with me you know.”

 

“I needed someone to pull you away from that fox.” Sesshomaru growled out at her.

 

“What? Have you been following me?”

 

Instead of answering Sesshomaru walked into his office.

 

“Where do you think you are going mister?” she yelled at him as she followed him.

 

“You would not have answered your cell phone. You were to occupied at the moment.”

 

“No, Sesshomaru, you did that on purpose and I know it. I know you better than anyone else even if I haven't seen you for five hundred years. What has gotten into you lately?”

 

“You need to stop seeing the spirit fox.”

 

“What? You can't make me.”

 

“You have involved yourself with a Spirit Detective. You could expose yourself.”

 

“I won't. But that is none of your business. Have you had Inuyasha's department check up on me? `Cause I know that it wasn't him because I would have noticed.”

 

“And you haven't noticed the others.”

 

“Not all of the time. I have to hide all of my powers.” Kagome paused in her rant. “And that is how you did it. You and Inuyasha sent a demon with so little power to look after me that neither me or Spirit world would notice.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Why? What is wrong? And don't give me that bullshit about being found out. I know that this is not about that so why don't you tell me the truth, Sesshomaru!”

 

“He is trying to claim you.”

 

“What?”

 

“Youko Kurama is trying to claim you as his mate. Kurama has no idea that it is happening, but the fact remains. Youko is forcing himself to the surface to take you as his mate.”

 

“You have got to be kidding me? And this is the reason that you are so upset. I think that I can handle a demon that wants to mate with me for all eternity.”

 

“Kagome, you don't understand. The second that Youko overcomes his human half he will come after you. And it is my belief that he all ready knows who and what you are.”

 

“I never told you that Youko was not only interested in the Shikon No Tama, but also the guardian that guarded it. I specifically told him not to go after either!”

 

Kagome stared at him as if he had grown a second head. “So this is what has gotten you in such a mood lately? You're mad because someone didn't follow your orders?”

 

“No, I'm mad because he is succeeding.”

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

Sesshomaru walked and placed himself in front of Kagome, with her looking up at him. “Kagome, I didn't want him to succeed because I have been trying to find a way to show you my feelings…for you.”

 

“Wha—”

 

Sesshomaru brought his lips down to hers before she could finish her question. She froze in confusion. Sesshomaru was kissing her? This was not happening! No, this was not happening. She had to be dreaming!

 

Kagome's wish for this to be a dream was quickly shattered when he pressed her body against his own. And Kagome could tell now that it was a great body! His muscles rippled when she came in contact with him, and her heart jumped in her throat.

 

Sesshomaru must have noticed her lack of response because he pushed his tongue forward to press against her closed lips. Kagome was so surprised that she opened her mouth on accident. Sesshomaru, however, took full advantage of this. He moved his tongue to taste all of the sweetness that he had been dreaming of tasting. The sweetness of her mouth was more than he could have asked for. It was like heaven to his senses.

 

Sesshomaru's heavenly experience was cut short though. Kagome moved away from him with a push of her hands on his chest. She was panting erotically, her chest going up and down at a fast and quick pace.

 

“What? Why?”

 

“Kagome, I have loved you for so long that I didn't know how to tell you. I don't know what I will do if I don't have you in my life.”

 

Kagome calmed herself down enough to think. She was still recovering from that kiss. Damn! Demons sure knew how to kiss.

 

“Sesshomaru, I'm seeing Kurama.”

 

“Yes, this Sesshomaru knows. But I will be at your beckon call whenever you need me.”

 

“Sesshomaru…” Kagome said softly. Did Sesshomaru love her so much that he would wait for her.

 

“I have waited for five hundred years for you, Kagome. I will wait for you a little longer. But know this,” Sesshomaru advances on Kagome again. She retreated until she hit a wall and had no other place to go. Sesshomaru brought himself so close to her that it was impossible to escape. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, “I will never let you go. I will never stop fighting for you.”

 

“Kagome Higurashi, please report downstairs to the conference room. Kagome Higurashi, please report downstairs to the conference room.” A female voice said over the intercom system.

 

Sesshomaru leaned back to let her past. She stood there staring at him for a moment then said, “I have to go.”

 

She sidestepped around him and left the office.

 

 

 

 

Kurama walked through a set of very expensive glass doors. The building that he walked into was one third of the main branch of Taisho Enterprises. The other two owners ran the other two buildings, from what he knew. He approached the main desk that had a slender blond sitting behind it. As he walked he noticed that he was being watched by many, most of them were females he noted. He continued on his mission though and kept on moving toward the blond woman.

 

She smiled at him as he approached and said with a little too much sweetness in her voice, “Hello, how may I help you?”

 

“I am here to see Kagome Higurashi.” he stated to the woman. He knew what she was doing, but he was afraid that her hopes were getting to high for he only had one woman in his life and his mother and Botan didn't count.

 

“Okay, sir, I will see if she is in the office. If you would like to go take a seat in the lobby over there then I will see if I can get a hold of her for you.”

 

“Thank you.” Kurama said. He walked over to the lobby that she had mentioned and sat down at one in one of the sofas.

 

He could tell from his peripheral vision that the blond receptionist was talking on the phone to someone. She seemed to be talking with a happy voice, but he could tell that she was not happy. Her eyes were slanted in anger and her nostrils were flared out. She had a smile, but he also knew that it was bitterly forced.

 

After the woman had finished her phone call, she stood and walked to him.

 

“Sir, Miss Higurashi will be here shortly. She is just finishing up with a meeting in the conference room.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

She nodded to him and left, swaying her hips seductively as she went. Kurama was not paying attention to that though. He was now concentrating on his inner thoughts. He had been trying to sort out all that he had learned in the past day and a half. He had tracked down Hiei after he had left to get some answers out of him. He did not know how Youko had claimed Kagome as his mate all ready. Youko was not even supposed to be aware of the outside world. He had locked him up when he had decided to never transform into Youko Kurama ever again. But how could he all ready pick Kagome as his mate? It didn't make sense. And how could Kagome have met demons before? He had come to the conclusion that she had to know about demons to have to have had to defend herself with a sword or a bow. That was the only logical explanation for all that he had seen.

 

Hiei had said that it was Youko who had made the choice, that he had to have seen her at some point. He didn't know how that could have been. He always kept a close watch on him at all times.

 

“Kurama!” Kagome said as she came out of a room across the building.

 

Kurama stood up and greeted his girlfriend. He lightly kissed her on the lips in greeting.

 

“Hey, sorry I'm late. I didn't expect the meeting to go so long.”

 

“That is all right. I haven't been waiting for long.”

 

“Really? That's good! So where are you taking me to lunch?”

 

“You shall see.”

 

Kagome and Kurama walked out of the building with smiles on their faces and a spring in their step.

 

“Well, there they go. I hope she knows what she is doing.” Sagero said as Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Shippo, and himself watched them leave. “He is really serious about her. I saw the way he looks at her.”

 

“Yeah, he needs to get his filthy kitsune paws off of her before I kick his ass.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Hey, not all kitsunes are bad. And I don't believe that he is either.” Shippo said in his defense.

 

“Shut up shorty.”

 

“Enough. Get back to work.” Sesshomaru commanded before Shippo and Inuyasha could get any further in their argument.

 

When Inuyasha, Shippo, and Sagero saw the look on his face all three of them left to get back to work. Since Kagome was no longer there to train with, there was no point in going back to the underground base camp. They might as well get back to their separate buildings before Sesshomaru blew a fuse. From the look on his face it didn't look like it would be a good idea to annoy him at the moment.
