InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Drama of an Online World ❯ Chapter 12
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
So okay... I left for my dad's on July 19th, '05. Obviously, I brought my laptop with me so I could write and enjoy myself at least some of the time. At this point, I don't really know if any of you liked the last chapter... Or if you bothered to read it after the long wait. I also don't really know how many chapters I'll write, and if I write a lot of them... I might post them once every few days or so. I haven't decided yet.
Anyways, here's the lastest installment of 'Drama of an Online World.'
Chapter Twelve...
****************
Kagome half-skipped away from him, her sketchbook under her arm. She pushed the front doors open with her hips and stepped out into the cool night air. She made her way to the end of the sidewalk and signalled an oncoming taxi, cursing when it drove right by. 'Asshole taxi drivers.'
She was kind of regretting saying some of the things she'd said to her... Boss. And she was really regretting kissing his cheek. She wasn't sure how he'd take such... Friendly actions.
For one... He could fire her. Actually, that was really the only thing he could do. Besides spread the word around that she'd gotten a little too personal with her boss and... Odds are she'd never get another job in the city. Number one rule in her line of work: Never get involved with your clients.
She screamed when she felt a hand on her shoulder, immediately twisting around to face... Her boss.
'Shit.'
****************
Her hand was clutching at her heart, her breathing irregular, her eyes closed. "You scared the fucking shit outta me!" she laughed when she'd calmed down a bit.
Sesshomaru smirked, he had to admit she looked rather attractive when she was scared. Her chest heaving from erratic breathing... "Very sorry about that, but I assure you it was important that I-"
Her eyes shot open and it became very apparent that she was rather angry when she cut him off. "Important that you scare the fucking life out of me? What the fuck for? See how high I'll fucking jump?"
"I'm afraid that when you interrupted me, Miss Kaye, you failed to hear the reason why I needed to speak to you." He'd wanted to adress her in a professional manner, even after she'd been so forward with him. 'But how can you be professional with a damn two-year-old?"
She was still scowling, one arm on her hip and the other at her side. "Uh-huh. And what's so fucking important?"
"Whats so important is that I am to inform you that there is to be a party this Saturday at 9 o'clock." He paused to let that bit of information sink in before he went on. "In your honor, by the way, a means to thank you for all that you've done for Full Circle Industries."
That seemed to have pleased her, a small smile growing on her face. "What kind of party?"
He had to resist the urge to laugh at her, and in any other situation he probably would have. But she was already probably angry enough with him. She didn't need any other reasons. "Formal - that means you are to wear a proper gown. There will be music, dancing, food and drink."
She turned away from him, so he couldn't see her face. That slightly bothered him, not being able to guage her reaction. But it wasn't as if he could grab her shoulder... He might get hit. And sometime in the next few days, he had plans to discuss with her all the things she'd revealed to him. He couldn't do it now, as again: He might get hit.
****************
She was thinking it over. It sounded like fun, dancing and music... Sure it sounded a little suspicious. He hadn't even said anything about what she'd said just minutes ago. But if he didn't want to say anything that was fine with her. She signalled a taxi, relieved the driver had decided to pull over.
"Do I really have to wear a dress?" she asked, the only part of the idea she wasn't too fond of.
She could hear him laughing behind her, and she turned around. "Yes, actually, you do."
She rolled her eyes. "Well I'll be there, at any rate." She turned again and moved towards the taxi, opening the door and giving her address to her apartment. "I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Zetsumei." And with that, she shut the door and told the man up front to take her home.
****************
He'd been sitting in his study for nearly two hours, waiting for her to come online. He hadn't even been doing anything productive. Signed some papers, looked in on Rin who was as hard at work as himself.
He was thinking about sending her a message... 'But what to say?' Sesshomaru paced around the room, voicing his ideas for a message to no one in particular. He was almost mocking himself.
"Dearest Kagome, I've been thinking of you... Our kiss. Come to think of it, I'd like it to happen again!" He laughed at his idiocy, wondering what she'd think of him now.
"Or here's another... Lady Kagome, I've been looking for you in the Dimension and have noticed you've been absent as of late." He stood on the spot a moment, thinking of the next lines. "I've come to... Miss you. Please return soon."
A tiny giggle from the doorway caused him to quickly turn around, and he winced when he saw it was Rin. When she saw she'd been caught, she came out from her spot halfway behind the door. "Lord Sesshomaru, who's Lady Kagome?"
He'd hoped she hadn't caught the name... "She's a woman I know, Rin. A nuissance."
And there appeared the curious look on the child's face. "What's a noo-since, Lord Sesshomaru?"
He sighed and moved to one of the chairs in front of the fireplace, beckoning the girl to sit beside him. "Nuissance, Rin. It is someone who is annoying, someone you want to avoid."
She sat in the chair closest to him. "But then why do you miss her, Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Because Rin... " He looked around the room, pretending to search for other hidden people, and leaned a little bit closer to her. "Can you keep a secret?" he asked, knowing very well she probably couldn't. But it wasn't like she was going to meet Kagome anytime soon.
She nodded her head, yes.
"This Sesshomaru misses Lady Kagome because he likes her."
Rin's eyes grew wide and she gasped. "More than Rin, Lord Sesshomaru?"
He shook his head. "No Rin, this Sesshomaru likes her a different way." He stopped to consider how to explain it to her. "You are my daughter, and that is how I love you. She is... I do not like her the same way that I like you."
Her eyes blinked, she couldn't seem to understand what he was meaning. "What other way is there to like someone?"
He looked into the fire for a moment before looking back at his daughter. "Rin... This Sesshomaru likes Lady Kagome the way... The way that mommy's like daddy's and... Daddy's like mommy's." His face was rather flushed, he'd never really expected to have this conversation with his daughter. At least not for a few more years.
She cocked her head to the side and asked, "So... Lady Kagome is going to be Rin's mommy?"
Upon hearing this he very nearly fell out of his chair.
****************
End of Chapter Twelve...
Yeah, I know. Incredibly short... But at least its entertaining. I couldn't think of anything else to write... Nothing was coming to me. I think in the next few chapters I might incorporate some of the other characters. Kagome might ask Kouga to be her date for the party... I think that'll be just a quick phone call, though... Sango and Miroku might drop by sometime too.
Anyways, here's the lastest installment of 'Drama of an Online World.'
