Knock…Knock…

 

“Kagome dear, Sango is on the phone for you.”

 

Kagome rolled over in her bed and muttered a “tell her I'll call her back mom.”

 

“Honey she says it's important”.

 

Kagome looked over at her nightstand and looked at her alarm clock. `It's 8:30 in the morning' reluctantly, she got up and opened her bedroom door. Her smiling mother was standing with the cordless phone in her hand, reached out towards her. Kagome took the phone.

 

“Sango it's so early… what's up?” Kagome sleepily said.

 

“I know, I know, but aren't you an early riser?” Sango asked.

 

“Usually I am, but a certain someone had me up all night watching bad movies.” Kagome teased.

 

“Sorry to wake you, and my movie taste is quite refine, thank you very much! Anyways Kagome sorry to bother you but I need a favor please. Sango asked in her sweetest voice.”

 

Half yawning, half speaking Kagome responded “Okay, what you need girl?”

 

“I'm at Yokai's, I said I would help out preparing for tonight's party, a.k.a. I'm getting paid overtime, and this morning I switched bags and left my wallet at home. Could you please be the doll I know you are, and swing by my place and use the spare key and bring it to me…. please!!!!!!!” Sango begged.

 

“Sure no problem, your spare key is under the pot of that dead bamboo tree, outside your apartment door? Kagome jokingly asked.

 

“Yes, and don't make fun of me lacking a green thumb.” Sango answered.

 

“Okay Sango give me a few and I'll bring your wallet over.”

 

“Thanks Kagome I owe you big time, I would have asked Kikyo but she isn't home, I hate not having my ID or any money”

 

Laughing Kagome responded, “your right you do owe me, I'll make sure to think of something good too”.

 

“Miroku is ALL MINE” Sango laughed.

 

“Haha! Thank Kami for that too! Later…” Kagome hung up the phone.

 

Quick as a sleepy Kagome could, she got dressed wearing her favorite, old, and faded out light blue jeans, and a pretty white halter-top tunic. She wore her hair in a messy bun and skipped make-up and just applied some cherry flavored chap stick. She was on her way to Sango's in no time. Luckily, Kagome was able to borrow her mother's car and got to her friend's apartment pretty fast. Finding the spare key, Kagome entered the apartment and grab her friend's wallet that was laying on the coffee table in the living room right next to the shoulder bag Sango was sporting the day before. Locking up the apartment she headed on the to Yokai's. Kagome arrived in about an hour. `I made good time' Kagome thought.

 

Entering the restaurant, Kagome saw her co-workers prepping for tonight's party, there were beautiful, gold streamer's hanging from the ceiling and fresh cherry blossoms in crystal vases lined up on the bar.

 

`I wonder if they smell as good as they look' Kagome pondered to herself.

 

Spotting Sango, Kagome walked over to her friend.

 

“Hey girl” Kagome opened her purse and handed Sango her wallet.

 

“Thanks so much Kagome, you're a life saver!” Sango smiled.

 

“Remember, you owe me…” Kagome giggled.

 

“Kagome!”

 

Kagome turned to see a frazzled Inuyasha headed towards the two standing girls.

 

“Good morning Inuyasha, how you?” Kagome asked cheerfully.

 

“Fucking shitty, everything is going to hell…” Inuyasha answered.

 

“Huh?” Sango, well, kind of…asked.

 

“What's wrong Inuyasha?” a concerned Kagome asked.

 

“Well one of cooks who was suppose to help prep the food for tonight's party apparently got shit faced last night and injured himself, so he won't be able to come in and help. So now, I'm short handed and on top of that, I was supposed to go to asshole's place and deliver some documents.” Inuyasha hurriedly answered.

 

“Awww” was Sango's response.

 

“Yeah, and Sesshomaru apparently needs these stupid papers of his” Inuyasha lifted his arms to make air quotes as he said “ASAP”.

 

“Bummer Inuyasha” said Sango.

 

“Yeah, looks like you got your hands full.” Added Kagome.

 

Looking over to Kagome, Inuyasha's face started to light up.

 

“What?” Kagome asked.

 

With a puppy-dog face Inuyasha answered, “Kagome please be my life saver and go take these fucking documents over to Sesshomaru's.”

 

“HUH?!?” replied Kagome.

 

“Oh great idea!” Sango exclaimed, jumping up and down.

 

“Oh, umm, I don't…no… I don't think so…I…I don't know where he lives!” Kagome blurted, desperately trying to think of an excuse not to get suckered into this favor of Inuyasha's.

 

“I'll give you the address Kagome, come on, I really need this favor, please I'm short handed and you really don't want tonight's party to blow do you?” Inuyasha asked, still wearing his puppy-dog face.

 

“ Well no I don't…”

 

Kagome stood there looking at a pathetic Inuyasha, and a Sango with a goofy ass grin on her face, like this was a good thing.

 

“Okay fine I'll do it, but now you both owe me and I mean big time!” Kagome stated.

 

“Great! Thanks Kagome I really appreciate this, you know I wouldn't send you to the lion's den if it weren't really important. I'm going to the office to grab the documents plus I'll write down Sesshomaru's address and directions down for you.” Inuyasha said and headed towards Sesshomaru's office.

 

“Maybe you'll get lucky and the lion will eat you!” Sango teased as she skipped away to another group of employees hanging up decorations.

 

`Bitch' Kagome thought. `I can't believe I'm going to go to Sesshomaru's home, by myself!' Kagome started to fidget and pretty much freak out, waiting for Inuyasha to come back. `I need to calm down, I'm just running an errand, that's all…'

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

 

 

Kagome kept repeating `I need to calm down, just be cool' to herself the whole car ride over to Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha directions unfortunately, were dead on.

 

“There goes my `I couldn't find his place excuse'” Kagome said to herself.

 

`Okay Kagome just relax, your being a child.' She took a deep long breathe, focused herself, and got out of her mom's car and walk into the building. Taking a look around at the fancy lobby she thought `yeah, marble floors and a big shiny crystal chandelier, definitely Sesshomaru's building'.

 

Kagome timidly walked towards the elevator and got in.

 

`Wow this elevator is bigger then my freaking bedroom!' she looked around amazed.

 

She pushed the button to the 22nd floor, `hmm, top floor', she noticed as the elevator began its journey up. Kagome took a series of `calming breathes', which did little to put her at ease.

 

Stepping out of the elevator, Kagome walked to the door Inuyasha wrote down on the directions to her boss's condo. Panicking on the inside, and trying her best to appear calm and brave on the outside, Kagome smoothed her clothes of any imaginary wrinkles she thought she had and then she slowly lifted her fist to the door and knocked.

 

Opening the door slowly, a delicious smell reached Kagome nose. `He's cooking' she thought. Then the door was fully opened and Kagome was stunned speechless. Her eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets refusing to take in and accept what she was seeing. “Fuck, Kami…Oh my…'

 

There was a very annoyed Sesshomaru standing in the doorway, and more importantly there was a barley dressed Sesshomaru standing in the doorway. There he was, and all that was Sesshomaru, wearing nothing but a pair of black cotton loose pajama pants. That hung so dangerously low. Kagome could see the `V' of muscle right beneath Sesshomaru's hips that traveled below the waistband of his pants. The black pajama pants were sitting so low on his narrow hips it was so very obvious that they were the only thing he was wearing.

 

`Kami, if I could touched him' Kagome daydreamed.

 

His beautiful silver hair was in a loose braid that reached the back of his knees, and that entire bare skinned chest of his, had absolutely nothing to obstruct its view.

 

`He is perfect' she thought as she marveled at her boss's physique.

 

She could see all that pale white, smooth skin over lean hard muscle. She had to fight herself not to reach out and touch his perfectly tight stomach.

 

Staring at a dazed and flushed Kagome, Sesshomaru clearly bored, stated, “You are not Inuyasha”.

 

Snapping out it, Kagome blushed and looked up to meet Sesshomaru's eyes since previously she was staring non stop, at all that bare skin.

 

`Shit, how long was I drooling, right in front of him no less?!' Kagome inwardly scolded herself. `Kami I wish I could take a picture of him with my cell phone, the girls would fucking freak!'

 

Replying, she dumbly said, “Yes, I am, I mean, your right, I'm not.” Shaking herself desperately not wanting to sound like a total fool she started over again.

 

“Inuyasha couldn't deliver the documents you requested…” Sesshomaru just stood in his doorway staring at Kagome.

 

So she continued “…and since I happened to be there, I agreed to do it in his place.” Kagome tried to smile at Sesshomaru, and handed over the file folder of the documents mentioned.

 

Sesshomaru took the folder Kagome offered and opened it taking a look. Kagome didn't

know if she should just leave, or like at work, wait for him to dismiss her. Sticking to her routine she waited for Sesshomaru to say farewell, she knew she wouldn't get a `thank you for going out of your way to bring these stupid papers to me when it's your day off!' Kagome mentally rolled her eyes. But then the sight of a nearly naked Sesshomaru was all the thank you she would ever need.

 

Looking up from the folder Sesshomaru eyed Kagome in silence, getting nervous under his gazed she again began to fidget, picking off lint balls from her halter-top that just weren't there.

 

“Come inside, I cooked and made plenty to eat, you may join me” he said turning around leaving the door open and not even bothering to wait her response, Sesshomaru walked back inside his home expecting Kagome to follow.

 

She did.

 

 

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

 

 

 

Kagome followed Sesshomaru inside his penthouse condominium taking a look around.

 

“His place is HUGE!' she thought.

 

The condo had dark wood floors that gleamed, white pristine walls, and sturdy dark wood furniture. There were beautiful antiques placed tastefully throughout Sesshomaru's home. It was elegant yet masculine. Kagome was impressed and not in the least bit surprised, she always imagined his home being beautiful and immaculate. She followed him to the kitchen, which had expensive stainless steel appliances, and a butcher-block island in the center of the kitchen. Iron and copper pans and pots hung from a special rack placed directly above the kitchen island. Sesshomaru motioned for Kagome to sit at the bar attached and that had a direct view of the kitchen, she was able to watch Sesshomaru cook. But with those loose black pajama pants taunting devilishly, Kagome was only able to focus on one thing and one thing only. Him.

 

`He's not going to change?' Kagome thought. Surprised Sesshomaru didn't opt to cover up a bit now that he had a guest. `Hmm, this situation is confusing me' A word floated through Kagome's mind and that word was something she was mentally speaking to herself the other day `opportunity'. `Maybe this is it!' Inwardly she was freaking out.

 

Sesshomaru had his back to Kagome as he cooked and didn't once speak, feeling nervous and uncomfortable Kagome just sat on her stool and decided to enjoy the `show'. Even the muscles on Sesshomaru's back were defined and not overly so, just enough to get Kagome's lower body stirring.

 

`Deep breaths' Kagome willed herself. `You need to calm yourself Kagome, be cool.'

 

After a few minutes of cooking Sesshomaru finally turned and offered Kagome a cherry-red porcelain plate with a very yummy looking and smelling omelet.

 

“Thank you Sesshomaru-sama, it looks delicious.”

 

Sesshomaru didn't respond and served himself a portion of the omelet and walk around to the living room that was adjacent to the kitchen, sitting on the black leather sofa,

Sesshomaru seem to watch Kagome take small little nervous bites of her omelet while casually eating his own. She didn't like him watching her eat but luckily the omelet really was delicious and Kagome was hungry, she didn't bother to eat before leaving her house to go bring Sango her wallet. They ate in silence.

 

`This is one crazy day' she thought while chewing.

 

Finally after what seemed like forever, Kagome finished all of her food, she stood up and slightly bowed to Sesshomaru, “Thank you so much Sesshomaru-sama it really was great, I will just wash my plate and be on my way”.

 

“Leave your dishes where they are and come sit on the sofa with me' he said.

 

`Huh…?' she was shocked.

 

Kagome sat her dish back on the bar and walked over to the living room. Instead of sitting right next to Sesshomaru on the couch Kagome sat on the connecting loveseat. Sesshomaru had the barest hint of a smirk on his face of being almost amused and clearly enjoying Kagome's nervous behavior.

 

“Tell me about yourself Ms. Higurashi, this Sesshomaru wishes to get to know you better.” He stated.

 

`He wants to know more about me???'

 

A bit shocked, Kagome just looked at Sesshomaru.

 

It was obvious, to Sesshomaru, Kagome was going to need some encouraging, he prompted her “what are you going to school for Ms. Higurashi?”

 

She answered, “I am studying literature”.

 

“I see.”

 

“What do you plan on doing with your degree?” he added.

 

“I'm not exactly sure just yet, perhaps I will one day teach” she smiled as she answered, seemingly that would please Kagome if she would one day become a professor, who wouldn't kept her students past they schedule time either!

 

“And when your not attending school or working what do you do Kagome?” Sesshomaru's eyes were getting intense. His stare was making the fidgety Kagome practically twitch with anxiety.

 

`My first name again, oh shit.'

 

“Um well, either doing homework, or chores at my family's shrine or hanging out with my girlfriends.” She answered honestly, it didn't sound like the most exciting life but Kagome was content.

 

“When do you have time for a boyfriend Kagome?” he asked.

 

`?!?!!!!' `Oh Kami!'

 

Blushing 10 shades of red, she just knew she looked like a cherry; completely embarrassed Kagome softly answered, “I don't have a boyfriend Sesshomaru-sama.”

 

“Good.” Was the only reply she got.

 

`I'm dreaming, this is one crazy dream and it's not really happening.' Kagome tried convincing herself with a pinch to her arm.

 

It didn't work; Kagome was having a personal conversation with her gorgeous boss Sesshomaru, who was nearly nude and all but flaunting it. She could feel the heat on her skin and wished so desperately that she could freeze time so she could walk over to the sofa Sesshomaru sat upon and run her hands down his heavenly sculpted body and maybe take that picture with her phone and rub it in her friend's faces!

 

He switched the subject suddenly, “So tell this Sesshomaru how much do you know about demons.”

 

She was grateful for the change in subject and tried to do her best answering Sesshomaru, she didn't want to sound like an idiot and tried to remember anything her friend Shippo, who went to university with her and happened to be a fox demon told her about the demon species.

 

“Well I know they are many different types of demons and different demons have different abilities.”

 

“Correct.” He said agreeing.

 

“And most have amazing strength, well compared to a human at least, and speed. Some can even sense auras. Oh! And heightened senses.” She said.

 

“Oh?” he answered, “tell this Sesshomaru some.”

 

Inwardly scrunching her nose she wondered why he was quizzing her on information about demons, he obviously must already know… `Hmm weird' she thought.

 

“Well, you know, great sight and hearing, sense of smell is excellent too!” Kagome stated, delighted she remembered what Shippo told her. `Shippo would be proud' she thought, thinking of her close friend.

 

She continued, “some demons can even smell a lie (when being told one), and emotions too.”

 

Sesshomaru had a tiny smirk, “that is correct, some can, but not all.”

 

“Can you, Sesshomaru-sama?” Kagome bravely asked Sesshomaru.

 

“Indeed, this Sesshomaru can.” He answered slowly. “This Sesshomaru can smell if one is lying and certain emotions as well”

 

“Really?”

 

His smirk grew just a tiny bit more, and Kagome this time noticed.

 

`Why is he smirking and why do I suddenly feel like the butt of some joke?' she thought.

 

He went on, “When one is angry or nervous for instance, even embarrassed.”

 

Kagome felt the color begin to rise in her cheeks `just let me die Kami…'

 

Sesshomaru leaned forward elbows on his knees, suddenly looking very serious. Kagome was instantly distracted by his perfect stomach muscles, eyes drifting to the mentioned abs, Sesshomaru spoke again.

 

“This Sesshomaru can smell you very well…” Suddenly Sesshomaru was a blur, too fast for her to follow and was sitting next to Kagome on the loveseat with his fist wrap around a hand full of Kagome's raven locks, pulling her chin to the ceiling and arching her back.

 

“…Kagome…” he finished, voice sounding deeper then usual. He locked eyes with Kagome, amber eye's stare penetrating Kagome's midnight blues. She had to catch her breath; she was completely taken off guard by his sudden actions.

 

“You scared me,” Kagome said in a shaking voice, so soft it was barely above a whisper.

 

“Good.”

 

Sesshomaru's gazed intensified and he inched closer to her. Kagome was taken by surprised and was frozen still, heart thundering in her chest, the beating of it getting stronger and louder in her own head. Without taking his eyes away from her, Sesshomaru very slowly, and deliberately, lowered his head towards Kagome.

 

`He's going to kiss me, holy shit!' she franticly thought.

 

Head lowering further Kagome was confused when he past her lips and went lower to her chest. She gasped. Kagome felt a very wet and very hot tongue right above the neckline of her white halter-top, where the small amount of exposed cleavage was. Slowly Sesshomaru dragged his tongue from the very top of the mound of Kagome's breast, up to her shoulder and neck. Reaching Kagome's ear he huskily whispered, voice so utterly deep and rich, “little human girl, your scent is begging for me, should this Sesshomaru oblige you?” She was breathing hard, not prepared for this situation she was clueless on how to respond to Sesshomaru or herself. She was feeling such an intense ache suddenly between her legs it was painful. Her body grew tight and uncomfortable, but at the same time she didn't want these sensations to stop, she was so utterly confused. Sesshomaru moved back down to her neck and began kissing and sucking softly the sensitive skin with firm wet lips, every so often nipping her flesh.

 

Feelings were becoming too much for her to handle, and Kagome was beginning to softly moan. Her lower body was heated and she felt a painful tingle of need building in her, she recognized it.

 

`Oh Kami don't tell me I'm going to come, from him just kissing my neck!' she pleaded to herself.

 

“Yes.” Sesshomaru groaned in the back of his throat, as if he knew what she was thinking.

 

`Oh Kami…'

 

Just then she felt two very sharp pricks on her neck, it wasn't exactly painful but it was close and she realized what they were, fangs. Sesshomaru had began running his fangs across the skin of Kagome's neck, and fear set into Kagome. Sesshomaru just then groan loudly and seemed to quicken his pace, kissing her chest and neck more fiercely, covering more of her body with his own. His fist that was balled up in her hair loosened and began to make its way slowly down Kagome's body, running down her side, she felt the claws.

 

The sharp points of his fangs and claws were like a wake up call for Kagome; it snapped her out of her lust-coated daze. She realized who was covering her with his practically nude body, her boss and what he exactly was, taiyokai. Panic and fear flooded Kagome. Pushing Sesshomaru off of her hard, she quickly got up.

 

Sesshomaru didn't appear shock or insulted and just watched Kagome stammer around with his usual sexy smirk of his in place.

 

“I really need to get going! I have to get some things done before the party tonight!” Kagome blurted.

 

She made her way to the hallway and called out “thank you again for the omelet Sesshomaru-sama! I'll see you tonight at the party and OH! By the way I'm bringing a friend of mine as a guest.”

 

“I didn't know till yesterday she was coming.”

 

“Well…see you later bye-bye!” Kagome hightail it at of there in record time.

 

Sesshomaru leaned back against the sofa and rested each of his arms on the back of the couch. This female had a way of rousing him like no other has done a very long time. So meek and coy, but doesn't give anything up easily. Sesshomaru knew how much he would appreciate that little trait when he'll finally subdue the tiny human female. What a conquest, he always demanded the finer things in life, and Kagome was simply the best.

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

Kagome ran. No exaggeration, she ran to the elevator punched the button and focused on not fainting.

 

`WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?!'

 

The elevator opened and she hurried inside. Hitting the ground button waiting for it to move, Kagome proceeded by hitting the `Emergency Stop' button. Digging for her cell phone out of her pocket, she did what any freaked out girl, who basically just had their incredibly hot boss put the moves on them would do, she called her BFF.

 

“Hey Kagome.” Sango answered her phone.

 

“The lion ate me!!!” Kagome screamed into her phone.

 

“Huh?”

 

“The fucking lion ate me Sango! Oh Kami I can't believe this, I'm so fucking freaked out!” Kagome was still shouting.

 

“What the hell are you talking about Kagome?” Sango asked worried.

 

“Sesshomaru! Oh shit, I think I'm going to faint” Kagome said then sat down on the elevator's floor laying all the way back on the thick cushy carpet.

 

“You ok Kagome? You're not making any sense. What's happening?” Sango voice grew concern.

 

Willing herself to take a deep breath and focus on speaking clearly Kagome answered Sango, “Sesshomaru put the moves on me.”

 

“HOLY SHIT!!!! Sango yelled. Earning many stares from her co-workers.

 

“I know!” Kagome shouted with agreement, kicking her legs on the elevator floor.

 

“So what happened? Did he kiss you? Did you guys make out? Oh tell me he kissed you Kagome.” Sango excitedly asked.

 

“Well kind of.”

 

“What do you mean `kind of' Sango asked confused

 

“Well he kissed me but not on my mouth, he kinda made out with my neck and chest.” Kagome explained.

 

All of a sudden Kagome had to move her phone away from her ear to avoid going deaf from the high-pitched squeal coming from the other end of the phone.

 

Once the squealing subsided Kagome lifted it back to her ear, “You trying to burst my eardrums?”

 

“I'm so sorry, but shit, this is unbelievable!” Sango said jumping up and down in place.

 

“I know!” Kagome enthusiastically replied.

 

“Where are you now?” Sango asked

 

“I'm lying on the floor in the elevator of Sesshomaru's condo building.”

 

Dead air.

 

“Okay, okay, I'm done here and going home in about 10 minutes, please for the love of Kami, get off the floor and come to my place pronto, we're going to need details Kagome all of them, man, I knew I was right about Sesshomaru having a thing for you, wasn't I right Kagome?” Sango asked.

 

“Whoa. What do you mean `we're' going to need details?” Kagome countered.

 

“Duh, Kikyo and Rin are meeting us there also to get ready for the party tonight, were all going together.”

 

“ Oh yeah” said Kagome.

 

“So you going to head to my place now?” Sango asked

 

Standing up from the elevator floor Kagome released the emergency stop button and the elevator began to move again, answering she said, “Yeah, I'm on my way now”.

 

“Okay good, see you soon, wow I'm still so shocked. You lucky little bitch!” Teased Sango.

 

Laughing, Kagome said “see you soon” and hung up.

 

Sighing out loud, Kagome leaned against the side of the elevator, closing her eyes and in her mind she replayed the most erotic encounter she's ever had, all the way down to the first floor.
