Summary: Continues from my `Beginners Luck' oneshot. Sesshoumaru employs honey in his trap... the vinegar wasn't working so well.

 

Kagome squeaked as the three piles of neatly ordered manuscripts tumbled off her desk and merged into a mess on the floor.

 

Lately, her luck had been getting worse.

 

This morning she had slept through her alarm and woken up with a bird's nest where her hair should have been, she'd managed to miss her train and then ladder her tights mysteriously and the elevators had broken down. Her floor was the twentieth.

 

A shadow fell across her as she knelt to pickup her manuscripts and she knew, without looking up, that her bad day was about to get worse.

 

Tossing her hair out of her eyes, she glanced at the striking Sesshoumaru who appeared to be enjoying standing over her whilst she kneeled. The subservience of her position irked her and she quickly rose to her feet and dumped the manuscripts on her desk.

 

“What?” she snapped irritably.

 

He quirked a brow. “Is that any way to greet a co-worker?” he asked sardonically.

 

“I'm not in the mood to play games just now Sesshoumaru.”

 

“Too bad, if I am.”

 

She choked back the desire to rip her hair out in agitation. He knew exactly how to coax her into a rage and she detested giving him the satisfaction.

 

“Here.” He handed her a baby blue mobile phone that was identical to hers except for the colour.

 

“I have a phone.” She was bemused.

 

“But Rin doesn't, it has her game on it.”

 

With that, he stalked away; content to leave her gawking like a fool. She wanted to protest, to say it was too much, but she knew he wouldn't listen.

 

But her conscience was not what kept her rooted to the spot, no; she stayed still because, with that gesture, he had melted her heart somewhat.

 

Damn him.
