Summary: Continues from my `Red' drabble, Kagome is confronted with an old friend who knows her secret.
Kagome was irritated, even with Sesshoumaru's blessed absence. Jakotsu was being severely distracting, mock-swooning in the direction of their new manager's office.
She followed his line of sight in time to watch the woman stroke Sesshoumaru's striped cheek and frowned; for some reason she recognised that sleek plait.
“Why are you so happy?” Kagome, still in an appalling mood, asked Jakotsu “I thought you were in lust with White-haired Wonder.”
“I am.” he sighed again as Sesshoumaru fought off a glomp from the woman.
“So what's with the lovesick sighing?” Kagome asked, scrunching up her eyebrows in confusion.
“I love them both!” he declared joyously. “And yes, I am gay.” he smirked deviously “Our new manager is a guy!”
Kagome leaned to take a good long look at their new manager. Skirt? Check. High heels? Check. Slim shoulders? Check.
He certainly looked like a woman.
“That's a guy?” Kagome muttered “Pretty convincing.”
Jakotsu gave a low whistle and Kagome turned in time to see Sesshoumaru dart from the room pursued by his latest admirer; their boss.
Recognition hit her like a ton of bricks as she assigned a name to the face. That was Bankotsu Ito; he came to her to have his fortune read every Tuesday.
He passed her desk at a skip, trying to catch his escaping prey but paused to look at her.
“Kagome?” he asked in surprise.
“Hi” she muttered. Sesshoumaru glared at the two of them. Bankotsu exposing her secret would be dire.
“You have a real job too?” he asked, laughing a very feminine laugh.
She mimed the cut-throat and Bankotsu, always quick off to catch on, shut up quickly. Sesshoumaru strained at his figurative leash; he could almost smell the secret Bankotsu held over Kagome.
“Don't worry! I won't tell the bad puppy!”
