So he made a list.

 

Of course, it was on a half-written paper while he was sitting on the toilet, a pen between his teeth, a lit cigarette supported by an ashtray (yes, Inuyasha did enjoy his nicotine that much) and an evil smile plastered on his lips (or was it a snarl?), because it wasn't like he had a lot of free time for the list with the way business was going lately.

 

But the man was at a loss.

 

What should be his priority? Woo Ookami Kagome and destroy Ookami Kouga (he didn't like competition anyway - and yes, he meant business) or destroy Ookami Kouga and then woo Kagome?

 

The possibilities were as following: if he tried to court the bitch first, yes, she'd fall in love with him and stuff, and then he'd hurt her husband (aka her credit card) businesswise, but until then Inuyasha himself would have already posed as a much more generous credit card, so Kagome would not suffer that much. No, that plan sounded kind of crappy. Then again, if he fucked with Kouga's company a bit (he could pull a few strings here and there - maybe, just perhaps he'd overheard something about a `shitty deal' Kouga had made, and perhaps the poor `wolf' had not warned his clients beforehand. Inuyasha was sure he'd find such examples in Kouga's files) Kagome would surely be devastated (moneywise) and she'd fall right into his trap, because he'd become her night in shining armor (better make that glittery, diamond armor).

 

Okay so Step One was decided. He had to terminate Kouga's power in the business domain. Yep. No big deal; he'd been meaning to do that sooner or later.

 

Smiling, Inuyasha took a long, passionate, relaxed drag on his cigarette and finished his business with the toilet before taking his ashtray and paper and pen with him to his desk.

 

He began scribbling some more schemes and plans and whatnot.

 

Step Two consisted of sending little, stupid apology letters telling her he'd took the liberty of using her diamonds (the ones stored in the safe) and giving them to his brother, who, in the urgency of the moment, had used one of the rings as an engagement ring, and it turned out his future wife, Kagura, was not much of an ostentatious-rings woman, because she absolutely adored one of the smaller, more modest rings Kagome had. Of course, the bitch would start to wonder why the press would say nothing about the supposed engagement, but Inuyasha would tell her it would have been a very secret, very intimate engagement party with only family involved, and hush, don't tell anybody.

 

And then he'd pretend to be indebted to her, because he'd hypothetically have his brother indebted to him (as if!) and shower her with affection (in the form of a few nicely-shaped diamonds - which he'd make sure to take back in the end) She'd surely fall for it, especially if that idiot husband of hers would have nothing to offer her anymore.

 

And he only had a month for it.

 

Dammit. He gulped.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

She felt like in a cheap movie where the obedient wife closed her eyes and grit her teeth through the whole ordeal, trying hard not to watch `below the belt'. Oh, the quirk of fate.

 

And Kouga was grunting, the pig, exactly like a pig (even though Kagome had never heard a pig grunting), and it was disgusting, disgusting, especially since he reeked of alcohol. Lately, whenever he sought her `services' as a `good' and `respectful' wife, it seemed he needed some booze to give him balls beforehand. Or something.

 

How she hated this.

 

So there was nothing for Kagome to do other than pretend that there was an interesting stain on the ceiling (oh, did you notice that footprint above you?) and try not to throw up because of her husband's foul breath and, at the same time, try to hide her excitement for her upcoming birthday. She already knew what he present was; this was why she was being extra sweet and careful around Kouga.

 

A personalized Birkin with diamonds on it - ah, the glory.

 

When he finished (luckily, not inside her) Kagome breathed out in what felt like a long time.

 

“I know what you're going to ask,” he slurred, looking like he was half asleep already, which was shocking, because he would always be snoring at this point.

 

“I didn't say anything,” Kagome replied, biting her lower lip to stay quiet. No fighting. No fighting. Remember, she told herself, Birkin. Hermès combined with diamonds. Aah! She suddenly felt too elated that she was afraid she might burst. “But go ahead, honey,” she said in a sugary voice, turning on her stomach and drawing circles on his hairy chest.

 

Kagome hated hairy-chested men.

 

Kouga must have been surprised, because his eyes widened and suddenly he looked much more sober, gawking at her as if she'd just come out of a TV commercial. One about prostate cancer.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“Sure,” she shrugged, oh, how hard it was to lie, but Birkin going diamonds! She had to stay focused.

 

Maybe she should seek help instead.

 

“I thought you were going to ask me about your birthday gift. You usually have this twisted sense of humor that makes you ask me about money and diamonds right after we've made love,” he said with an obvious great difficulty. He was still drunk.

 

Kagome almost snorted. He'd used the expression “make love”. Was he for real? She felt like laughing.

 

“Coincidence, darling. Don't think much of it.”

 

“Right,” he grunted and fell asleep, because he was already feeling better. Yes, there was a chance for him with his Kagome, indeed.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

Kaguya was a screamer. Inuyasha had learned that the negative way the first time they'd had sex and some neighbor had called the police. They had definitely worked on the level of manifestation she reached. The sex had become better, too. It was probably because she was frustrated that she couldn't express herself fully, but she really gave all of herself. Was literally mad between sheets.

 

And Inuyasha wasn't complaining at all, especially since it was so hot, so tight, so damn first-class inside of her as he thrust, moaned, panted, and did all of the things he was used to doing while in bed with some fiery vixen.

 

He wasn't a sex addict. He guessed.

 

“Right there, baby,” she moaned, scratching his back (damn, that hurt, but it was such a goooood kind of hurt) and then he waited for her to descend from her ecstasy-filled heights before letting himself go as well. The condom was damn annoying, but necessary, so it was a good riddance when he slipped it off after slipping from inside her.

 

The nasty thing was that Kaguya liked to cuddle. Inuyasha almost shuddered. Biting the inside of his cheeks, he stretched an arm so she could put her head on his chest and then he'd wrap it around her waist. It was a habit already.

 

“What was that thing with Kagome the other day?” Kaguya asked, interrupting the calm haze after another night of mind-numbing sex. It was why he still kept her around.

 

Ah, Kagome… The Bitch. Well he couldn't exactly tell Kaguya his plans, could he?

 

“I'd already met her.”

 

Kaguya frowned, but Inuyasha couldn't see it. “I noticed.”

 

When he didn't continue, she cleared her throat. “Do I have any chance in finding out how exactly you two have met?”

 

Impulsively, he would have told her to ask Kagome, but he kept his mouth shut, remembering how creative Kagome was when trying to annoy people. It didn't seem to matter to her that she might be hurting people's feelings, even if they were close ones.

 

“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.”

 

Yeah.

 

“Well, no.” Obviously.

 

Kaguya sighed.

 

“Okay, go back to sleep,” she whispered groggily, as if having forgotten they had just had hot, passionate sex instead of sleeping.

 

It wasn't like it mattered. It was time to finish Step One anyway, so Inuyasha gave a few last indications by phone (ignoring the why-the-fuck-did-you-call-so-late's) and smirked eagerly.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

Kagome blinked.

 

No Birkin?

 

Okay, so it hurt (actually, it felt like all the efforts she'd made this last month had been for nothing so it was zero short of agonizing), but how could it be? Surely Kouga was fucking with her.

 

She had to try a different approach.

 

Smiling giddily, as if she'd just fallen in love with him, Kagome tucked her hair behind her ears. “Come on, sugar, you can't do this to me.” She faked a pout, it wasn't that hard, but Kouga seemed unmoved, sad?

 

The ever-loving wife stepped back.

 

“You're not kidding?”

 

She blinked again and watched him do the same.

 

“No, I'm not.”

 

There would be prosecution, too, he claimed.

 

“How could you be so stupid?” she snapped. Her eyes were wide, injected, her look bordering on lifeless - she looked like a killing machine. And Kouga had the decency (and self-preservation) to stay a few feet away from her.

 

But it didn't matter when she started throwing vases and other, preferably sharp objects at him.

 

“You bastard!” and such were constantly flowing from her lips.

 

She felt so mad that she wanted to pour every bit of rancor out of her chest.

 

“You aren't even a good lay! And you have chest hair!”

 

It seemed she'd raised his hackles, because he yelled back, “And you're a statue in bed.”

 

“Of course I am,” she replied, “because I hate doing it with you.”

 

His eyes widened.

 

“Oh,” he assumed, “so you enjoy it with other guys? Maybe guys you have `wild, monkey sex' with?”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes sarcastically. “Yeah, because Nakayama is such a catch that I can't help but fawn aaaaall over him.” And she made a very exaggerated gesture to demonstrate the quantity of her interest for Inuyasha.

 

Which Kouga found quite amusing (partly because he found Kagome very entertaining - it was one of the reasons he'd married her, after all), but he didn't let it show. He kept his frown and bitterness.

 

Kagome sighed - this fight was getting them nowhere.

 

One of Kouga's business deals had been revealed - it was something complicated that she really didn't want to understand - but what mattered was that he faced a possibly very long, probably very harmful, certainly very expensive trial, and he would almost surely become very poor and bankrupt at the end of it. Either way, Kagome did not want to stick around to see what happened eventually.

 

“I want a divorce,” she said and headed for the bedroom to pack her things and get out. There was no point in delaying.

 

“You what?” It seemed the idiot could not grasp the idea. Kagome pursed her lips.

 

“I decided I don't like your surname anymore,” she mocked, taking special care of the accessories she packed.

 

“Don't go joking with this Kagome, you can't want a divorce,” he said, his tone final, yet terrified at the same time.

 

“Watch me,” the woman said with a smile.

 

It seemed like there was no chance with her after all.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

The position of the sun on the sky indicated a marvelous day for Nakayama Inuyasha. And what was a good day for him was a good day for his brother, too, because he was one step closer to getting his engagement ring back.

 

The younger businessman chuckled quietly - Step One was done. Victory ran in his blood, but every time it was thicker he felt elated. Now was one of those days.

 

“Yeah?” he asked through the receiver. “Fuck off, bastard. I'm this close to getting your fucking ring back.” Oh, what a fucking pleasant way to put a damper on his joyful mood.

 

“Tell me, Inuyasha,” he heard Sesshomaru say, already guessing what his next words would be, “were you the one to think it would be a great idea to drag Ookami Inc. down?”

 

Inuyasha gulped. Had that been a mistake? Ever since the gossip of Ookami Kouga being prosecuted he hadn't checked any more news.

 

“Umm…”

 

“For once,” Sesshomaru interrupted, sounding a bit awkward, “I should congratulate you.” Should, not actually do it. But still, Inuyasha was impressed.

 

And almost touched.

 

“I love it when you show your love, bro,” the younger sibling said and laughed out loud when what he heard in return was the dial tone.

 

His day was definitely shinier.

 

That was why he didn't particularly mind writing a pretty cheesy note for the ultimate Bitch and for the same reason he chuckled like a schoolboy before placing the note inside the safe. He didn't know if she still used this safe, but if not, he'd have Kaguya call Kagome over. Or something.

 

And when he turned on the TV and heard that the fabulous, the fashion-forward, the magnificent Ookami Kagome would revert to her old name (oh, that could only mean one thing), Inuyasha was about to impersonate a balloon pricked by a needle, blasting happiness all over the damn place. Yeah, his plan was working alright.

 

.•.o.•.o.•.o.•.o.

 

Kagome's eyes bulged out comically. She re-read the whole thing, unsure if she needed glasses or if her situation was even worse that that. Was she blind and with an overactive imagination?

 

`Mrs. Ookami,

 

I… well, apologize for my behavior and words a while ago. If your decision not to return the ring wasn't actually in my brother's benefit, I would still be willing to murder you, but I recently found out I am actually quite... indebted to you.

 

That's why I have to say we started off with the wrong foot.

 

First of all, I think I should explain my odd words (you must be very confused right now). I took your diamond rings, the ones you left in the safe, and tried to bribe my brother into using one. It worked, partly because he was desperate to ask Kagura, his fiancée, to marry him (otherwise she'd have his gonads), and partly because he personally liked one of your more modest and simple diamond rings, the exact opposite of the one you're surely wearing now. Surprisingly, Kagura loved the little thing (it wasn't that little, actually) and even told Sesshomaru she was relieved he didn't get her a huge stone like it is customary nowadays, because it seems she hates those kinds of rings.

 

So now I am indebted to you because you made my brother owe me, which I find fascinating.

 

Don't hesitate to ask anything of me (and I'll leave you the rest of the diamonds, I have no use for them anyway. Keep frequenting this safe, you know the number, insert code)

 

Yours truly,

Inuyasha'

 

She took a glance at the exotic beauty on her finger and at the rest of her rings in the safe and cocked an eyebrow. This guy had to be on crack or something. Or bipolar. Or perhaps just extremely grateful.

 

But for the first time since leaving Kouga, Kagome smiled. Maybe she'd use him somehow. She didn't know how yet, but it sounded like a plan. The only problem was Kaguya.

 

But it wasn't like it mattered to her.

 

And damn, she'd wanted that diamond-clad Birkin!

 

 

Yes, that tiny, tiny part about the `shitty deal' was inspired by Goldman Sachs hearing. I remember laughing my ass off when I saw it on TV. Hope you enjoyed. Click under this note to review :)
