Sesshoumaru was nervous as he barked orders to his fearful staff. That alone frightened him. He was never nervous. He was never unbalanced, yet that was how he felt at the thought of losing her again. He had suffered through nearly five centuries with only his memories of her to comfort him.

He could not feel sorry for himself, for it was his own actions that caused her to slip through his fingers before. He was determined to not let that happen again. She was his. He would not let another have her.

He would see to that. Neither of those pathetic half-breeds would lay an offending finger on her delicate creamy skin, the skin that rightfully belonged to him. She would be his wife. She would bear him children. Even if he had to force her into his bed, she would belong to him as she should have so long ago.

She, of course, would fight him, but that was what drew him to her in the first place. The fire he had seen in her eyes penetrated his soul with the effectiveness he hoped to have when he penetrated her for the first time. He had dreamt of her and only her for so long. The feel of her lips on his, the softness of her breasts, the silkiness of her hair, the lazy patterns she drew on his skin with her hands. Oh god her hands.

 

Her hands had been innocent, but the passion they invoke in his being burned with the fires of hell, where he most certainly deserved to reside for, if nothing else, the pain he caused her. His actions had proved as bad as his `brother's' despite the different motives.

He hoped he could win her back tonight. If not, her friends would pay the price.

She had overcome her momentary lapse of astounding grief. She was now preparing herself for whatever the evening might bring. The key to escaping with her heart not completely shattered was time. She had to get out quickly and negotiate some kind of deal to also get Shuuichi and Yusuke out of there too.

What the heck were they doing there anyway? They had to know something, or they could have never come in contact with Sesshoumaru. Her barrier between the worlds was far too strong. Had he found some way to breach it? She had left too long ago to know for sure.

She would find out later at their meeting. What was he trying to pull though? He had never insisted on such an ordeal for a meeting before. Was he trying to trick her again? Kagome would have bet the Shikon Jewel at this point.

She knew him well enough to spot another of his deceptions. She wouldn't fall for it. At least not this time. She would stay on guard. He no longer deserved her trust.

Yusuke felt like crap. Not yet opening his eyes, he felt his stiff muscles scream in agony. What happened? Let's see wake up, ditch school...oh wait. No school that day. Never mind. Wake up with Kagome...Kagome! Now he remembered! That bastard had Kagome! He knew there were a few minute details he wasn't getting, but it couldn't really be anything important.

He sat up, head protesting the sudden action, and grabbed his throbbing temple. As he took in his surroundings, he noticed he was alone in a dark, dingy, dungeon-like room. It was made of stone and had no light, except what came through the bars of the heavy door.

Heh! No problem he could get though that in a second. He didn't really need to use a lot of energy, so he decided to just barely power up his spirit gun.

He curled his fist, extended his finger and thumb, lifted his arm, aimed...then nothing. Nothing happened.

Shit! How was he gonna get outta here when his powers were broken?

“Damn you Sesshoumaru!” he yelled through the bars holding him captive. “When I get outta here, I'm gonna turn you into puppy chow! Do you here me, you loser?! You're dead meat! I'm gonna rip yo—”

“Yusuke! Shut up!”

“Kurama?” questioned the bewildered boy.

Kurama couldn't believe this. First the human girl had been interested in Yusuke and then the Demon Lord. He had no idea what she saw in either. The Demon Lord was cold and unfeeling, and the human was a loud mouthed, obnoxious brat. He really didn't feel like humoring the detective today. “Who else would it be?” came the sarcastic reply from the cunning kitsune.

“How the hell should I know?!”

“Silence! I am not in the mood for your bellowing today Yusuke!”

“I don't bellow!” Yusuke bellowed.

{This is going to be a long day.}

[Especially since we can't blast through with our failing powers. Have you come up with anything, Youko?]

{I've got something, but it may take me a little while.}

“...kill you Sesshoumaru! Let me out! Just you...”

That just would not do. He could feel the migraine coming on. [I'll make you a deal, Youko.]

{I'm listening.}

[Get me out of here before we go insane, and I will give you free reign to relieve your...tension with any girls you so choose for two weeks.]

Youko mentally had his mouth hanging open. Regaining composure, Youko simply replied, {You are aware that by then, I could have rutted with about fifty people, right? What about Kagome?}

[Although I do feel she is quite special, I believe she has too much emotional baggage to keep us intrigued. She is beautiful, but she had far too dark a past to move on with us, based on what we saw with the Demon Lord.]

{I accept your proposal. We'll be out in ten minutes.}

“...when are you gonna come down here and...”

{Make that five. I hate it when he gets pissy.}

[Now Youko, remember, I said girls.]

{Does it really matter? A fuck is a fuck.}

[Girls.]

{A man would be a nice alternative after that many-}

[Girls.]

{Fine. Have it your way. As long as I get it my way}

What the hell was he thinking? Kagome couldn't understand what possessed Sesshoumaru to do this. She angrily hurried down the corridor behind the servant leading her to the dining room. Boy, was he gonna get a piece of her mind! The nerve of him!

She finally reached the door to her destination and stormed in.

“Sesshoumaru, what the hell makes you think—” She stopped when she realized he wasn't listening as his eyes fastened on her. His gaze held passion, intensity, lust. He was impeccably dressed in a black, tailored tuxedo. He looked amazing with his hair weaved into a loose, elegant braid. She decided the best thing to do was continue on her tirade.

“Sesshoumaru,” she began in a quieter, yet equally angry voice. “What in that sadistically warped mind of yours makes you think this is appropriate dress for a meeting?! You said it would be a mere discussion, not a royal gala!”

She was referring to the evening gown she had been informed to wear. After returning from the bath that had been drawn for her, she discovered her uniform had been incinerated. In its place, a sparkling, floor-length, yellow evening gown. Not until she put it on did she realize how the dress was cut. It had straps coming around her neck, which exposed the whole of her back and a moderate amount of cleavage. Also, there was a large slit on her front right side, exposing her toned, silky legs up to her mid-thigh.

He could have handled the dress on any other woman, but on her, it was sinfully delicious. In combination with that dress, her hair was tied up with a few curls left hanging loosely down her back. Her makeup only included eye liner, eye shadow, and lip gloss. Nothing else was needed, for anger had flushed her cheeks, her skin was amazing on its own, and her lips were pouty, but not overly so.

She took his breath away.

“I said we would have a discussion. I thought it only appropriate to offer you dinner considering the time of day, my dear Kagome.”

“If you thought it only appropriate to offer your `guest' dinner, then why are Yusuke and Shuuichi not here?”

“I have far more interest in you.” His voice seemed hard as he spat out the words.

“I have no desire to be a pawn in another of your games Sesshoumaru.”

“Pawn? Quite an interesting take don't you think?”

“Of course I was a pawn. What else could I have been?! If I weren't, if you had truly cared about me, you would have rejected the deal. You wouldn't have felt the need to fuck another woman the day before our wedding!”
