She entered the Hall under the avid and hungry gazes of all the people that both envied and admired her poise. They wanted to bite a chunk of her flesh and claim it as theirs, touch her skin, possess her - it was readable in their eyes. She prided in the fact that no one except her husband could have her. And if she had a say in it, she wouldn't even let Kouga touch her, but she needed his money. Sometimes she felt like a leech, but the feeling disappeared as soon as she remembered his kinky behavior in bed and what she had to go through every time for his comfort. No, it was a favor for a favor in their marriage.

 

Ookami Kagome shined at her husband's side more than the expensive diamonds on her fingers - oh, how everyone wished they were her. Kouga's father had died a week before Kagome's reunion with Kaguya, and then business had flourished unexpectedly and she had received more attention than ever. Soon, her expensive tastes and stylish ways sparked people's interest. She had a place on her own on magazines covers, interviews over interviews took a lot of her time, but she was always available to talk about her passions.

 

“Of course,” she would say, “I receive all kinds of indecent proposals daily,” and it wasn't a lie, “but I only need my husband. Our relationship is one of mutual understanding.” And indeed it was. He understood her obsession with beauty and diamonds and kept giving her money to satisfy her pleasures and she understood that he had his own urges and let him have fun with other girls, younger girls who needed him for other things than his money. She'd met this girl once, Ayame; Kouga had fucked her a couple of times. Kagome felt sorry for the girl, really. It was obvious how ardently she was trying to get Kouga to fall in love with her, but she didn't stand a chance - Kagome knew her husband still loved her and longed for her affection, even if she personally didn't care much.

 

Was it wrong? She couldn't tell any longer. It felt as if any feelings she had were shallow.

 

People, of course, gossiped. Was the diva cheated on behind her back? Did her beauty not faze her husband? Was he blind?!

 

To all these questions she had an answer - unconventional though it was, it worked as a charm for the media and she was unknowingly setting a trend for young girls that idolized her and had their own measly relationships.

 

“Everything my husband does I know and accept and vice versa. There's just that much love between us,” blah, blah, blah. And yes, she always stressed how much this life of glamor mattered for her.

 

“Some people like watching stars with a telescope. I like being one.”

 

And oh, was she a star! Even though there wasn't much more to her except her beauty and diamonds and wit, she'd managed to get press attention and now she just couldn't get away from paparazzi.

 

“Where did you say you lived babygirl?” she asked, a costly pair of sunglasses hiding her naturally beautiful eyes. The phone she had went perfectly with her clothes - truly, she had many phones and kept switching them according to her outfits.

 

The phone, it said, “Sakura Avenue, stupid. Hurry up cause Inuyasha is going to leave soon,” the not-so-friendly voice of Kaguya commented.

 

“Right,” Kagome said, truly not giving a damn about the man at the moment. She should have visited Kaguya's home about a month before when she'd been invited, but Kouga had taken her out to celebrate his company's success, and things had been hectic ever since. Kaguya had told her that her boyfriend was in some sort of lawsuit with some bank he suspected had done something wrong. As if she was interested.

 

With a flick of her wrist the limo stopped in front of a sparkly Asian store that promised the bag of her dreams just by the look of it. Ignoring the thought that Kaguya would probably have her head for being late, she stepped inside, being instantly recognized by the shop assistants who insisted for her autograph, which, naturally, included the quick sketch of a diamond. She'd really become a product of fame.

 

When she finally reached Sakura Avenue with her new handbag that went gracefully perfect with her look, Kaguya greeted her with pursed lips.

 

“I bought this,” Kagome said as if to excuse herself and heard Kaguya sigh. “I'll put a couple diamonds here,” she showed her friend where with sparkling eyes, “and here. It'll look amazing, but Kouga's got to give me the go.”

 

“Fabulous,” Kaguya said with a warm smile, quite envious of Kagome for her husband. Her eyes fell on the it-ring, the one Kagome had found just-like-that. The woman was full of good luck.

 

Finally, Kagome saw Inuyasha and tried to ignore the suddenly speedy heart beating rhythm. What was that about?

 

Without taking her sunglasses off, she displayed her perfectly white teeth in an unsettling smile as they shook hands. He was just... standing there, his hands in his pockets, two buttons unbuttoned, his tie looking deliciously loose, and simply being sexy as Hell.

 

“How about sharing him?' Kagome suggested to Kaguya, knowing the nature of her romance with this silver-haired god. Kaguya looked horrified, but Kagome heard a chuckle to her left. Looking that way, she noticed the man was quite amused.

 

“I don't do stars,” he disclosed and Kagome smiled invitingly, not at all disappointed. There was something in his stride as he excused himself to leave that screamed masculinity, and she was sure he would have her in bed, but he could obviously do without the press coverage. She, on the other hand, had no such qualms.

 

But just as Kaguya was trying to say something, Inuyasha stopped abruptly at the door as if he'd just realized something, all eyes glued to him.

 

“What's wrong, baby?” Kagome's best friend asked, but he wasn't looking at her; he was looking at Kagome.

 

“45,” he said and Kagome's eyebrows furrowed. It was the number of her safe. To be sure, he said the code, too, “357120”. Kagome froze, instantly recognizing what he was saying. Warning lights went off in her mind and she noticed the way he was eying her hand. “Let me see that ring,” he requested, gesturing towards the marvelous diamond beauty on her ring finger. Realizing he was the likely true owner and cursing her luck, Kagome invented a quick but reasonable excuse and simply stormed past Inuyasha, leaving him blinking in confusion.

 

“What was that?” Kaguya asked, puzzled herself.

 

By the time he grasped her trickery, the limo had already left. Enraged, Inuyasha surfed the net for pictures of her on editorials and covers. Yes, she had the ring. Sesshomaru's ring meant for Kagura. Now he understood - he really did share the safe with someone else. The lawsuit was relevant after all, and he no longer had to avoid his brother, who had seemed determined to shove Inuyasha inside a meteorite and sent him in outer space the last time they'd seen each other.

 

In thirty minutes he was at Ookami Residence.

 

Kagome's surprise at seeing him there was infinite, but it didn't show, thanks to her natural hiding abilities. “It's mine,” she stated simply.

 

But he wouldn't back down, either. “It my brother's.” Annoyed, Inuyasha frowned. How long would she resist until handing the damned thing over?

 

“I've got papers to prove it,” he added, knowing he'd backed her into a corner. She had nothing to say to it, because she had stolen the ring. But he was wrong - Kagome always had the last word.

 

“I've got it to prove it,” she said and lifted her hand to show the magnificent ring, as if to taunt the young man.

 

In an impulsive motion, he reached for the ring, but Kagome predictably pulled her hand away. “You're such a child,” she laughed, her eyes sparkling along.

 

“It's supposed to be my brother's engagement ring for his fiancée, why are you doing this?”

 

“Because I love this ring,” she answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

 

“It's unique,” he tried to reason, but Kagome was diamond-hard about it. She just wouldn't hear it. The ring was hers, and that was that.

 

“Then your brother has the money to have another one made for him.”

 

“You're such a bitch,” Inuyasha hissed, almost at the end of his wits. All of a sudden, a web of intrigue appeared slowly inside the weird woman, even if she knew it wasn't what she'd normally do.

 

“I'll give it to you,” she promised, “only if you have sex with me.” Naturally, she'd like sleeping with him, but wasn't that ecstatic about it. She'd just have to play with him a bit and manipulate him like she wished. He was incredulous.

 

“What?!”

 

A smile stole Kagome's features. She was really, really enjoying this.

 

“I said-”

 

“I heard that, bitch - what the Hell? Isn't Kaguya your best friend?” Kagome bet he actually wanted to nail her, but worried about his girlfriend. Yeah. That had to be exactly it.

 

“Aren't you two non-exclusive?” she asked with a tempting wink.

 

In Inuyasha's mind, she just wasn't for real. Was she really asking him what he thought she was? It made no sense. She was a monster, truly, completely. He told her as much.

 

“I try” was her unaffected reply.

 

“So you won't be giving me the ring that easily, will you?” He sighed; Kaguya was going to kill him. Oh, and she'd kill Kagome, too, but the gorgeous bitch probably couldn't care less. Was she emotionless? Most likely.

 

“Nope,” she answered good-humoredly, watching the way her ring shone in the wonderful light of the living room.

 

“Then ok. I accept.” Honestly, what else was there left to do? He wouldn't fall on his knees and beg, that was for sure. And it wasn't as if he didn't want to sleep with her, anyway. Just the thought of it…

 

But Kagome had other plans. As much as she wanted the handsome guy inside her like she'd never desired anyone else, she wanted the ring more - it was priceless - so she decided to play a little trick.

 

“And we're gonna put it on tape,” she said, leaving him to wonder about the reason.

 

“And do what with it?” His frown showed hesitance.

 

“Oh, I'll show it to Kaguya. We'll compare and see with which one of us you're more flexible. It'll be lots of fun, don't worry,” she commented, as if she couldn't' wait. In reality, she guessed Inuyasha wasn't that kinky and her suspicions were correct.

 

“You're crazy,” he said, horrified by the idea. “You're too damn fucked up. How do you live with yourself?”

 

Coincidentally, before she could answer, Kouga arrived home and chose that particular moment to barge into the living room.

 

“What the-”

 

“Oh, hi honey,” Kagome said in a sugary tone. “Inuyasha here and I are going to have hot, amazing, wild monkey sex and then show it to his girlfriend.”

 

“What?!” Her enraged husband seemed ready to strike as Kagome could only laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.

 

“You're mad,” Inuyasha told her, heading straight for the door, clearly disturbed by the woman's crystalline laughter. Giving her a harsh look to keep her on her toes, he fled, leaving her with a confused and angry Kouga.

 

“You'd better explain,” he warned, “have you been cheating on me?”

 

Kagome was serious all of a sudden. “That's rich coming from you.”

 

For a second he seemed guilty and devastated like a lost puppy, but he remembered their circumstances. “It's only your fault. I love you, only you, but you don't need me for anything else than my money.”

 

“You're right,” she would have said, but kept quiet instead. It went without saying.

 

“I'm only yours,” she told him and he smiled, recognizing no lie in her words. He knew then she was being faithful. Maybe there was hope with her. As long as he was her only one, maybe things would work out, he thought. Oh, how wrong he was.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

“Why the Hell don't you go and convince her?” Inuyasha was out of ideas. “It's your ring,” he pointed out.

 

“Which you lost,” Sesshomaru added casually.

 

“Come on,” the younger brother whined. “I'm sure she'd get scared of you and give it back just like that.” And it seemed plausible, too. Everyone who saw the exotically handsome but icy cold businessman trembled in fear. Surely Mrs. Ookami wasn't any different.

 

“I have already had the pleasure of dealing with Mrs. Ookami. She is unfazed by my presence,” Sesshomaru said coolly, silently angry with himself that he hadn't noticed the ring on her finger sooner, or he'd have taken it with her finger, as well, if she refused to cooperate. Now, however, was time for Inuyasha to learn and deal with his mistakes. He'd only wait one more month, and Inuyasha knew it.

 

“It's not possible…”

 

But it was. Kagome had no purpose in life than to be rich and famous and to have that diamond ring, it seemed. But what if he played it differently? What if he… say, made her fall in love with him and hand over the ring willingly? Pfft. That sounded like wishful thinking, but if he did play his cards well, then maybe he'd hit the jackpot.

 

Besides, what else could he do? If he addressed her legally, she'd probably say she'd lost the ring and hide it somewhere for a while. Kagome would find a way. And to steal it from her… it would be hard and cowardly.

 

No, this had to be done with style. But how to seduce a femme fatale? he honestly had no idea. Up until now, women had been enchanted by his looks and had offered themselves to him in flocks, but this one was strong-headed. At least it would be a challenge, and he absolutely adored such temptingly gorgeous challenges.

 

If he wanted to seduce her, then he'd have to play hard to get. But to get to that, he'd have to make her want him. He'd have to flaunt his cash before her eyes, maybe buy Kaguya a couple of fabulous diamond rings to rival hers - good lord, it would leave a dent in his wallet the size of the Mount Fuji.

 

But it didn't matter. He'd seduce her, fuck her, take her ring and after she'd be smitten with him, he'd leave her like she deserved.

 

The problem was her husband, but it seemed she didn't give a rat's ass about that man, except the fact that he was technically her credit card. Well, Inuyasha would have to compete with that. After all, Nakayama Enterprise earned a whole lot more than pesky Ookami Inc. It would be a piece of cake.

 

And he'd show her. That cocky princess, that diamond-eater, he'd fucking show her.
