InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Himitsu ❯ Secret Eavesdroppers ( Chapter 34 )

By happy coincidence, Jakotsu and Bankotsu had entered the lift at the same time and spent the journey to their office floor chatting companionably about high heels. Bankotsu, flaunting his perfectionism at cross-dressing, had purchased a daring pair of red stilettos and was seeking reassurance that he didn't look too trampy.

As they reached the office door, the sound of an argument dissuaded them from venturing inside.

“No way, Sesshoumaru, like hell that'll fit in there!” Kagome protested, there was a strangled noise, like a puppy that had caught its tail in a door, “that hurt!”

“Hold still, it's your own fault for moving too much,” Sesshoumaru's normally cool voice sounded strained.

“Well I can't help being nervous!” she snapped back angrily.

“It will be fine, don't worry over something so trivial.”

“It is not trivial!” she exclaimed, there was a squealing noise, like a palm sliding over glass and Kagome hissed, “you're being too tough!”

“I am not being rough, merely forceful,” Sesshoumaru corrected tersely.

“Ah! No don't push it back in, pull it out!” Kagome yelled.

By this time Bankotsu and Jakotsu wore matching aghast expressions as they pressed closer to the closed door, inadvertently managing to force the office door open.

The two stunned men fell into the room and nearly tripped over each other as they tried to backpedal, only to halt at the sight of Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

They were both bent over the copier, Sesshoumaru with his hand wrapped around a wad of paper that seemed to be causing a blockage, Kagome knelt next to him, rubbing her bruised hip where Sesshoumaru had accidentally elbowed her.

“What?” Kagome enquired curiously, looking from one stupefied face to another.

Bankotsu muttered, “Absolutely nothing.”

Jakotsu pouted. “My expectations were quashed!”

“You fools have overactive imaginations,” Sesshoumaru quipped.
