Just friends

Chapter 9 Talks and walks

Hi, read on, thanks a lot for the great reviews!!!

~^~

,,Do you mind?" She asked quietly, her eyes scanning the woman on her chair. Too much Kykio alike. And the only way to deal with that…

,,And you are?" Kagura asked with a venom dripping voice, eying the second woman, who was now sitting on the chair offered by Miroku.

,,Kagome Higurashi. Sesshoumaru's personal assistant." She answered in the same cold tone, putting his little name there just for the heck of angering this woman, why? She frankly didn't care.

,,Why don't you get another chair? Sesshoumaru and I are quite comfortable." Kagura commanded superiorly, turning to Sesshoumaru, who before having the chance to respond heard Kagome do it for him.

,,Who wouldn't be with an airbag sitting next to him.

Now , please , there is no need to choke him like that." Kagome continued, seeing as Kagura slowly rose from the chair, turning to her, fists clenched at her sides.

,,Why you…" She trailed off, taking Kagome's wine glass preparing to dump it on her only to have her wrist caught by Sesshoumaru.

,, Do not dare." He commanded in old Japanese, only to have her put the glass down, send a vile look to Kagome and a loving stare to Sesshoumaru and then going away.

,,Well that went well." Miroku broke the silence, the others eyeing him like he was surely crazy.

~^~

What now? He asked himself. She was the same after the meeting with Kagura but that, to Sango and Miroku, certainly not to him, with him she barely exchanged a glance, something he found to be quite annoying , because he knew she was looking at him, many times, but she turned around too quickly, and the path left by her eyes, was not a friendly one.

Opening the door to the apartment , he saw her speed by him, turning on the lights in the living room, and then preparing to walk away.

Catching her elbow, he turned her towards him in one fluid move, catching the hand she sent against his face in mid blow.

She was boiling. How did he dare, how did he dare to act as if nothing happened. How the hell did he presume she was ok with it. And why the hell did he think he could make her turn around so easily?

Blinking , she stared deeply into his eyes, her anger flaring when she saw the cold fury in them. Yet, as she was looking at him, her eyes never blinking, tears already swelling in them, she knew, knew that no one, absolutely no one, would go against him if he was angry.

And now it seemed she was the one, but she would be damned, he was not winning without a fight.

What did she think? She would win against him? The thought made him laugh inside. He had no equal, no superior. She had no chance, and he saw her acknowledge that, and still she refused to simply make her anger subside.

What a stubborn panther.

,,So Kagura is a stalker?" Sango asked incredulously, looking over at Miroku's profile , streetlights illuminating his face and eyes, making her gulp once she realized just exactly who she was in a car in. It was just like her to get a taxi.

,,I'm very serious Sango." Miroku continued chuckling.

,,She stalks Sesshoumaru since he took over his father's companies. "

,,And he actually let her?" Sango asked, turning to him, regretting it, when she saw the amused half smile he gave her.

,,Well, Sesshoumaru hates legal attributes, that's what Inuyasha is for, but it seems Kagura was smart enough not to stalk too often, and to appear too often, so even Inuyasha had no chance."

,,Who's Inuyasha?" Sango couldn't help but ask, feeling a little embarrassed, turning her head around blushing, until she heard Miroku's soft laugh.

,,Why are you laughing?" Sango fumed, glaring daggers at him. ,,It is to assume I wouldn't know …." But Miroku cut her off rudely.

,,I wasn't laughing about that sweetie, I was laughing about your cute little blush." He whispered softly to her, taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

Sango turned around blushing madly , somewhat glad she took a cab.

~^~

,,What is wrong with you?" He asked her quietly, not letting go of her arms.

,,What is wrong with me? What could possibly be wrong with me?" Kagome countered in the same tone .

,,You know , that tone of voice does not work if it doesn't match your state of mind." He told her calmly , leaning down so he could breathe on her tattoo, continuing to whisper to her.

,,And you, my little panther, are boiling inside. Now tell me why. "

He pulled back hearing her gulp, fighting back a smile, considering it was so very easy .

,,I … I have no idea what you're talking about. " She started stuttering, looking away, as he arched one eyebrow at her. Who the hell was he to always do that? ,,I'm tired you know, I'll just go to …" She tried getting out of his iron hold, failing miserably.

,,Spill." He ordered icily , his tone leaving no room for questioning.

,,Who the hell do you think YOU ARE?" She yelled at him, pushing her way out of his hold, not seeing the shake which went through him, continuing to yell at him.

,,Why do you think this is in any way about you? Why should I even tell you?!" She told him angrily walking towards her room, almost opening it, when she turned around and looked at him apologetically.

,,I'm listening." Sesshoumaru told her tersely, sitting down on the couch. He was not making a decision because he was in any way rash. He would listen.

~^~

,,A walk?" Sango repeated nervously.

,,You seem to have the perfect park near your place." Miroku told her smiling seductively.

,,Ahm, sure." Sango told him walking down one of the paths of the little forest.

Hugging herself, she tried to uphold a little warmth, hearing the mild sound of crickets playing. Her eyes dared her to close them, the tire of this long day almost overwhelming her, until her senses went alert when she felt leather on her skin, as well as the weight of an arm around her shoulders.

Looking up, she saw Miroku's smiling face, and she wondered why she trusted this lecher who had so many times looked at that waitress. But then again, letting her head drop to the crook of his neck, she could see the stars, and with him, she felt like she was a star.

~^~

,,Sango told me to remain calm, and that's it." Kagome told him, sitting down next to him, pulling her feet out of those high heeled death contraptions.

Sesshoumaru turned her around towards him, placing her feet on his lap, running his hands up and down her soles, massaging them, hard and then soft.

Still, his look told her he wasn't buying any of it.

,,So you played calm, although you were boiling inside, although you were jealous of her, is that it my little panther?" He asked her softly, when she didn't respond.

,,Yes." Kagome whispered faintly, turning her head so she would hide her blush.

,,That's not all is it?" He continued, and upon seeing her nod, he told her to tell him.

,,We're supposed to be just friends, why am I…" Kagome trailed off.

,,Jealous and possessive. Kagura is a very vile person, and very dirty as well. She might be rich, but as you would say, that doesn't mean she's educated. Perhaps you just realized that she was not someone you would want around me." Sesshoumaru told her earnestly.

,,I'm sorry I yelled at you like that." Kagome told him faintly, letting her head drop on the arm of the couch, feeling the way heat started to build up in her body from his massage.

,,I know you are. But that does not mean I'll let it slide." He told her smiling evilly.

,,I knew there was a bad part about your smile."
