Breaking the News

******************************************************************* ******************

Kagome felt Sesshomaru's confused gaze on her. "What do you mean?" He asked. She kept her eyes fixed onto the ground. She slowly raised her head to see that Sesshomaru had stepped closer. "W-Well, I'm really sorry!" She cried.

He didn't respond to her outburst. Silence. Okay, she was ready to talk. "You see, I-I kind of yelled at Inuyasha and slammed the door in his face." She said, trembling. He didn't say anything. She kept her eyes on the mary janes she was forced to wear.

She finally couldn't take the silence. It killed her. 'Why doesn't he just get this over with!' She asked. Her head popped up curiously, and she was in complete shock. Sesshomaru had been fighting laughter, but he lost. When she looked up at him, like that, he burst out, laughing.

"May I asked why?" He asked, still laughing. (I know it's hard to picture! ^_^ ) Kagome was now gazing at him curiously but answered. "He…He looked at me…" She mumbled awkwardly, suddenly finding the statue in the corner of the room very interesting.

His laughter, although very calm and controlled, continued further when he heard this. "Did he?" He asked, teasingly. She looked at him, annoyed, but tried not to show it. "It's not humorous, Lord Sesshomaru! He asked to 'come in', and we all know what that means!"

Sesshomaru began to laugh again. It was as if he thought she were joking! "Sess- Lord Sesshomaru! I'm not kidding!" She sighed. She knew once she said anything else, Sesshomaru would just laugh at her. She was getting frustrated. "Would you fire me, already?" She blurted out.

Sesshomaru finally gained control. "Kagome…" He said, "I'm not firing you over something I respect you for doing." She felt all of her annoyance flee from her body, and she stood up tall. "R-Really?" She asked, happily. "Of course…" He said, walking towards the stairs. He began to climb the steps but stopped, and turned to her.

"Kagome?" He said. "Yes, Sesshomaru?" "You outdid yourself today. You can leave…if you're positive your job is done. I'll be resting." Kagome was so caught up in her daze that she almost forgot that she had left his bed unmade. She gasped. "Lord Sesshomaru!" She cried out. He turned to her in surprise as he reached the top of the stairs.

She ran to him. He didn't know what to do. He stared at her in shock. What was she…? He held his breath, but let it go when she ran past him. "I- Uh…" She turned to him. She then got a boost of confidence. She folded her arms, and smiled proudly. "I never got my pay!" She insisted. He smiled.

"Let me get it for you, it's in my room." She would die first. "Eh, …OH!" She suddenly burst out, "That paycheck? I know exactly where it is! I'll get it!" She said, running to the room. "Kagome, halt!" He said, firmly. She froze, looking at him.

He could have sensed this girl's fear, even without his keen senses. He didn't say a word, but walked calmly to her. "I can get." He said, suspiciously, as he opened the door, and entered. He looked around. Everything seemed well, he walked towards his dresser, and retrieved the envelope.

She let out a relieved sigh. He hadn't noticed! She took it from his hand, and headed quickly for the door, but was interrupted. "Kagome, wait." He said, calmly. She turned to see him walk towards the bed. 'I'm done for now!' She told herself. Her face turned into a hot blush. He stopped at where the covers had been open, and wrinkled.

He had her now. He could smell Kagome's scent all over his bed, and he knew what happened. "Took a nap, did we?" He asked. She didn't answer. He smiled at her, slyly. "..And I didn't even have to woo you. You practically leaped into my bed." She saw the humor in his eyes, and felt herself calm down. On the other hand, that comment made her blood boil. Did he take her for some sort of slut?

She marched right up to him. He was taken back by her courage, but it didn't concern him. "What does that mean?" "Take it how you want it." He replied, still calm. She lost her temper easily. "How could you make say that? Sorry, but I only wanted to see what it felt like to live in luxury for a minute! Is that too much to ask?"
