Chapter Nine: Play Time

*4:40 PM Monday, 'The Glass House' Break Room*

Kagome fiddled with the buttons on her suit jacket as she waited for the water heater in the break room to finish.

"I'm bored," she sang out loud. "What should I do? I know!" She pulled her cell phone out of her jacket pocket and dialed Shippou's number.

"Kit's Playground, The Man With the Plan here!" Shippou chirped after a few rings.

"Hi Pup."

"Kagome-mama! How are you?"

"I've been better," Kagome mumbled as she looked at herself in the full length mirror. The black pinstripe jacket suited her well, with a matching miniskirt, simple black pumps and a white vest underneath. "Do you have any info?"

"Yeah. Juku-"

"Rin?"

"Yes, Rin is being protected by the FBI as we speak."

"Is that all?" Kagome asked irritably.

"Um, yeah that's WOAH! Wait a minute!"

"What is it?" Kagome demanded, trying to keep her voice down. "What?"

"I just got an email! It seems like something happened-"

"Hold on Ship," Kagome told him as Myouga came in. She sat the phone on her shoulder and smiled. "Hello Mr. Kirasara."

"Hello Kagome. Please, Myouga is fine," he said as he made his way to the coffee machine.

"OK. How are you?" Kagome asked. Myouga sighed. "Not very well, if I do say so myself."

"What's wrong?" she asked as he sat down. Kagome sat down beside him and waited for him to finish his swig.

"Ah, that's better. When you get to be my age, coffee becomes almost as important as air."

Kagome giggled quietly. "I can't imagine. What's the matter?"

"It's the Seattle branch of WCT. It was vandalized earlier today."

"Really?" Kagome gasped, thinking that this might be what Shippou was about to tell her. "What happened?"

"The Tenseiga for that area was dismantled. Apparently a few technicians were hurt as well. Mt. Hitame and Mr. Takamada just found out."

"How are they taking it?"

Myouga glanced at her over his coffee mug. "You mean you can't hear Mr. Hitame ranting in his office?"

Kagome shook her head no and Myouga sighed. "You must be immune. Well my dear, I must be off. You finish your phone call."

Kagome waved goodbye as Myouga left, then returned to Shippou. "Sorry Pup. That's what you wanted to tell me, wasn't it?"

"Yup, except it seems like the employees were given a watered down version of what happened."

"Well fill me in," Kagome told him as she glanced at the water heater. 'Darn, it's still going. Ancient piece of crap.'

"Ok Kagome-mama, here's the skinny: The Tenseiga in Seattle wasn't dismantled; it was blown apart."

"Woah," replied Kagome. "How?"

"In the Seattle branch, there's one guard per hour over the lab with the Tenseiga."

"The Tenseiga is the power source for the portable surgical lasers, right?"

"Right. Anyway, there's a shift change every hour. One of the guards went missing at about 3:00 today. He was found a few minutes after shift change, cut into pieces like sushi."

"Ew! Thanks for the visual, Ship."

"Sorry Kagome-mama. Anyway, the Tenseiga lab exploded a few minutes after they found him. There were at least 8 techs in there."

"Oh man," Kagome groaned. "Does Takamada and Hitame know?"

"Yeah. From what I see here, they received the full-version and Takamada himself approved the watered down employee-version. Looks like things are heating up, Kagome."

"Yeah, I think you're right."

"Don't worry though!" Shippou chirped. "I'm working on another gadget as we speak."

"I'm sure you are. Well, I have to go-"

"Before you do," Shippou interrupted. "You're grandfather called."

"He did?"

"Yeah, he asked me to ask you to call him. I'll let you go, Kagome. Be careful."

"I will."

Kagome hung up and glanced at the water heater again. 'For the love of God, is it dead?' She tapped on the side of the heater experimentally. 'Nope, not dead, just comatose. I guess it does give me enough time to call Grandpa.' She pressed the speed dial for him and waited.

"Hello?"

"Hi Grandpa!" Kagome chirped as she closed the break room door. "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Grandpa said over the other line. "Never better considering that I'm a 63 year old man with arthritis. But how are you?"

"I'm fine Grandpa," Kagome lied. "Why?"

"Because I sense a great disturbance in you, my dear. Are you sure?"

****

SF: Luke, there is a disturbance in the Force. I'm sorry people. I couldn't resist!

Sesshou: I can't believe you did that in the middle of a story.

SF: What? It's not like you weren't thinking it too.

Sesshou: I would not have said it.

SF: Well excuse me Mr. High and Mighty with My Striped Ass.

Sesshou: Get back to the story…and my ass isn't striped.

****

"Actually," Kagome sighed as she sat back down. "I've been better."

"What's happened?"

Kagome relayed to him the recent surge in her power over the past week and a half. When she finished, Grandpa sighed.

"I should have known."

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked, sitting up in her chair. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean that I should have known," Grandpa replied. "What do you think your power is doing?"

"I think I'm losing control," Kagome groaned, lightly thumping her forehead against the table. Grandpa laughed from the other end.

"No, you're not losing control. You're power is just breaking through on its own."

"I thought if I quit-"

"That it would stop?" Grandpa interrupted. Kagome nodded, even though she knew he couldn't see it. "If you would have quit earlier, it would have."

"I don't understand."

"I didn't think you would. Get comfortable Kagome, this will take a while."

Kagome leaned back against the seat, checked on the water heater again, then told him to continue.

"You see, normally when a miko-in-training quits at 15, their power recedes until its nothing more than the gut feelings that normal humans get. That didn't happen to you because you're power level by that time was too great to recede. It instead went into hibernation until you needed it."

"Like now?" Kagome asked.

"Uh-huh. You're power apparently feels like whoever your charge is needs protecting from someone stronger than an average human. You really are the perfect person for the job this time."

"So I'm not losing control?"

"No, but you will if you don't use your power."

"How do I do that?" Kagome asked as the water heater finally went off.

"Do you remember how you used to play dolls?"

"Yeah."

"Do that."

"Yeah right," Kagome grumbled as she walked to the shelf for a cup. "I'm sure the guy I'm protecting wouldn't mind stopping by Toys-R-Us after work to pick up Barbies and Play-Do."

"You don't have to play with dolls. Play 'Super Girl' with Sango like you used to. I'm sure your charge won't mind, especially if you told him."

"Are you sure?" Kagome asked as she hunted for the tea leaves.

"Yes, I'm sure. Just play until you feel sleepy every few days. Use some of it the way you're ancestors used it."

"Like a weapon, Grandpa?"

"Right, like those exploding bullets I heard about on TV. Don't overdo it or else it'll take more time for your power to regenerate. If you yawn, stop. And tell Sango hello."

"OK Grandpa, I will," Kagome said before she hung up. She located the green tea leaves and was opening the can when she got an idea. 'Mr. Takamada's under a lot of stress, right? So why not give him something to relax?' Kagome hunted again until she found the chamomile tea. 'This should do perfectly,' she said as she dropped the leaves inside the tea cup. She prepared it the usual way, then left the break room.

"Here you are, Mr. Takamada," Kagome said as she stepped into the office. Sesshoumaru barely looked up from whatever he was typing. Kagome shrugged and set the cup on the coaster on his desk. Sesshoumaru reached for it, took a sip and grimaced.

"Is it too hot?" Kagome asked when he sat it back down.

"What is that?" he asked.

"Its chamomile."

"Did I ask for chamomile?" Sesshoumaru asked, finally glaring up at her. Kagome gulped. "No, but I figured that you might be able to use some with what happened at Seattle."

"I didn't ask you for chamomile, did I?" he frowned. "I asked for green. Are you really so incompetent?"

"Excuse me?"

"And you can't hear. What's next?" Sesshoumaru jeered as Kagome's face turned pink. Kagome closed her eyes, took in a few cleansing breaths and opened them again.

"Look, I know you're not angry with me, so I'm going to ignore you," Kagome said calmly. "As for the tea, I apologize but I thought-"

"I don't ask you to think, I ask you to do, which you didn't. You really are just another clueless female, aren't you?"

"You can't be this mad over a cup of tea!" Kagome said as she stood in front of his desk.

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "Its not the tea, it's the principle. It makes me worry for my own safety when you can't get a simple cup of tea right."

"Oooooooo," Kagome growled, balling her fists by her sides. 'If I hit him, I'll get fired,' she reminded herself as she calmed herself. "You know what, I don't have to listen to this." She turned on her heel and walked toward the door.

"I haven't dismissed you yet," Sesshoumaru told her as she opened the door. Kagome looked back over her shoulder.

"Really? Well, this is what I think of your dismissal."

>BAM!<

Kagome sighed on the other side of the door, reveling in the sound the door made as the slam reverberated down the hallway. She walked back to the break room, sat down and rested her head against the same table. 'I thought he was a nice guy,' Kagome said to herself. 'Boy was I wrong! He's such a jerk!' A single tear slipped down her face. 'Oh great,' Kagome thought as she wiped it away. 'Now I'm crying. Like things aren't bad enough. Why am I crying in the first place?' She sniffed as another tear rolled down her cheek. 'Oh great,' she groaned as she covered her head with her arms. 'Just great. Now what?'

*

Inuyasha peered into the copier room.

Nothing.

'Oh hell,' he grumbled to himself as he walked down the hallway. 'Where is that girl? It doesn't take this long for a quote from marketing.' He peered into the break room and stopped. 'What's she doing here?' Inuyasha asked himself as he leaned against the doorway. 'And is she crying?'

Inuyasha watched as Kagome's shoulders shook slightly, a sure indication that she was, indeed, crying. Inuyasha moved to the chair beside her, the illusive girl and the copies forgotten as he tapped on Kagome's shoulder.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked. Kagome sniffed and looked up. "Oh, hi Mr. Hitame," she whispered "How are you?"

"Better than you I'm afraid," Inuyasha said as he removed a handkerchief from his pocket and dried her face. "What's the matter?"

Kagome gave a lady-like snort and rolled her eyes irritably. "Your brother and I had a fight."

"I didn't know you two were serious," Inuyasha joked. Kagome smiled and shook her head. "Not that kind of fight Mr. Hitame."

"Of course not," Inuyasha assured her as he helped her to stand. "I was merely joking." He embraced her, making small circles with his thumb in the middle of her shoulders to calm her. "Now what did Fluffy do?"

"Why do you call him Fluffy?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha cleared his throat nervously, then said "Um, because he's…so opposite, you know?" 'Not to mention his fluffy tail in his humanoid form,' he thought sardonically as Kagome told him about the tea. Inuyasha waited until she finished to react.

"And you took that?" he asked her.

"Took what?"

"Took him talking to you like that, that's what! Come on, Marshal!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm then dragged her out of the break room and into the hallway to Sesshoumaru's office.

"What are you going to do Mr. Hitame?" Kagome asked him.

"It's Inuyasha, and I'm going to tell him off for you."

"I'm Kagome," Kagome told him. He stopped and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you Kagome."

"You too Inuyasha. Now I don't think this is a good idea."

"Of course it is! He's a jerk and he's going to say he's sorry!" Inuyasha shoved Kagome into Sesshoumaru's office, then entered himself before Kagome pointed ahead of her. Inuyasha looked to the center of Sesshoumaru's office where Sesshoumaru sat crossed-legged in the middle of the floor, meditating. He turned back to Kagome, only to find an evil grin on her face. She pulled out her two-way, typed something, then handed it to him. Inuyasha glanced at her curiously, then read her message.

~Don't say anything. I have a better idea.~

Inuyasha smiled back at her, typed a reply and handed it to her.

~What's the plan?~

Kagome passed it back moments later.

~Watch~

Inuyasha glanced back at her, but found her staring at Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha glanced at him for a moment, then nearly gasped as Sesshoumaru started to float from the floor. He rose slowly until he sat at least two feet in the air, with nothing but Kagome's power holding him up. Inuyasha typed again and handed it to her.

~WHAT'S GOING ON?~

Kagome passed it back in seconds.

~I'm playing. It's to keep another Saturday from happening. You can touch him if you want.~

Inuyasha smiled back. "Really?" he mouthed. Kagome nodded and Inuyasha cautiously walked forward until he stood beside Sesshoumaru. He pressed one finger to Sesshoumaru's forehead, and was surprised when he pushed Sesshoumaru back. He glanced back at Kagome again, then used his fingers to push Sesshoumaru from side to side effortlessly. 'Wow,' he thought as he poked Sesshoumaru in the temple again. 'It's like poking a feather.'

"This is so cool!" Inuyasha exclaimed, then clamped a hand over his mouth. Kagome frowned as Sesshoumaru's eyes flew open, then waved at him.

"Hello Mr. Takamada. Sorry to disturb you," Kagome apologized. Inuyasha fought back a giggle as Sesshoumaru glared at them.

"What are you doing in my office Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha swallowed the laughing fit and answered him as calmly as possible. "I came in here to berate you for snapping at Kagome like you did earlier, but I think she's handled you on her own." And with that, he lost his fight with the giggles.

Sesshoumaru glanced at him quizzically, then at Kagome. "Care to explain?"

Kagome said nothing, but pointed down instead. Sesshoumaru looked down, surprised to find himself sitting on air. He glanced back at Kagome, who waved again.

"This is your doing, correct?" he asked her. Kagome nodded. "I meant to tell you earlier, but you were in a foul mood."

"Tell him what?" Inuyasha asked as he poked Sesshoumaru again. Sesshoumaru moved a few inches to the side, which received another laugh from Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed. "That my grandfather said that I have to do something like this every few days to keep my powers under control. Would you like to fly, Inuyasha?"

"Sure!" Inuyasha chirped. Seconds later, he floated beside Sesshoumaru, grinning happily as he sat down beside him. "Hey, can I move through the air?"

"Give me a moment," Kagome told him as she closed her eyes. A second later she opened them again and nodded. "Go ahead. It's just like swimming."

Inuyasha moved to his back and kicked, then kicked again as he moved through the air. "This is great, Fluffy!" he exclaimed as he 'swam' around the office. "We should clone the girl and sell them on E-Bay!"

Kagome giggled as Inuyasha crossed the room to the window. Sesshoumaru watched Inuyasha a moment, then turned to Kagome. "I take it that I can't move as he can?"

"Bingo," Kagome said as she sat in one of the office chairs. "I'm still mad at you, so you can't."

"I would like to speak to you about that," he said. Kagome looked at him warily then shrugged. Sesshoumaru floated to her moments later, stopping directly in front of her.

"Now what would you like to discuss?" Kagome asked as she unbuttoned his suit jacket. Sesshoumaru watched her a moment, then mentally groaned.

"I would like to apologize…again."

"Wow, that's twice," Kagome teased as she loosened his tie. "I bet you're not happy."

"Why are you undressing me?"

Kagome blushed as she shook her head. "I'm not undressing you, pervert. I'm helping you. You looked tense, but you don't now. And I accept your apology by the way."

"About my moving of my own free will?"

"Done," Kagome told him as she stood up. Sure enough, Sesshoumaru stood up and extended a hand to her.

"Would you like to join me?"

"Nah, I think I can manage on my own," Kagome said as she slowly rose in front of him. Kagome 'played' until 6 o' clock, then remembered something.

"Where's Sango?" she asked Inuyasha as he floated past.

He shrugged. "I don't know. I was looking for her when I found you. Want to look for her?"

"No," Kagome sighed. Her attaché opened and her shades floated to her. "I think I know where she is." Kagome pressed the button for Miroku and growled "Is Sango with you?"

"It depends," Miroku's voice reasoned from the other end. "Of what you mean by 'with you'."

"Please don't play with me," Kagome warned. "You know what I mean."

"She was, but she went back upstairs."

"Page her and tell her to wait in the limo," Kagome ordered before sending the shades back to their hiding place. She turned to the brothers and sighed. "I think Sango and Miroku pulled a sneak."

"What's a sneak?" Inuyasha asked.

"Never mind that. Didn't you two say something about buying formalwear for the ball Wednesday?"

Inuyasha grinned as Sesshoumaru nodded. "Hey, does this mean that you won't get sick again?"

"I hope so," Kagome said as Sesshoumaru stopped beside her. "You guys ready to go?"

"Awwwww" Inuyasha complained as he floated back down. "We can't float out of here?"

"Of course not," Sesshoumaru answered for Kagome as his feet touched the floor. "This is a medical research facility, and the boys in the lab would want to study her if we did that."

"Oh well," Inuyasha grumbled as he straightened his suit. "We'll get to do it again, right?"

"Yup. I have to do this every few days. You volunteer to help me?"

"Sure! This was great!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he headed for the door. "When are you coming down by the way?" he asked.

"Right now."

Kagome instantly dropped from the air. Sesshoumaru, thinking she were falling, quickly moved to catch her. Kagome landed in his arms moments later.

"You didn't have to do that, but thank you," she said as she climbed down.

"You were falling."

"On purpose. I just released the spell. I would have caught myself, but thank you for helping."

Sesshoumaru followed behind Kagome and Inuyasha to the elevator, then to the limo in the parking lot. As they entered the back, Kagome reached over and whapped Sango's arm.

"Where have you been?" she demanded as she sat down on the other side. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru sat in the rear seat behind them.

"You told Miroku to tell me to come here."

"I thought you two were together! What's wrong with you?"

Sango shrugged sheepishly. "I got lost. Miroku found me and, well-"

"Well nothing," Kagome said as she slid down the privacy window. "I should write you two up."

"Don't do that, Kagome!" Miroku said as he poked his head through the window. "We didn't do anything!"

"Yeah, yeah," Kagome countered. "Then where are Sango's pantyhose?"

"Um….er…."

"Exactly. Jeez!"

"On to more important matters," Sesshoumaru interrupted, earning grateful looks from Sango and Miroku.

"Like?" Kagome asked.

"Like the ball!" Inuyasha said. "Do you have Katrina's sizes Sango?"

"Katrina," Kagome said as Sango reached inside her pocket for a piece of paper. "Oh yeah, she's the lady you went out with Friday, right?"

"Right," Inuyasha said as he took the paper from Sango. "I invited her to this shin-dig."

"That's great!" Kagome exclaimed. "I can't wait to meet her."

"What are you two wearing?" Miroku asked from in front."

"Is it a black tie?" Sango asked Sesshoumaru, who nodded in response. "That's great! I have the perfect black dress!"

"I'm going to get Katrina one," Inuyasha said, earning a foul look from Sesshoumaru. "What? Why not?"

"It's you're money," Sesshoumaru said with a shrug. "What about you?" he asked Kagome.

"I brought a tuxedo, just in case." Kagome glanced around to find everyone staring at her. "What?"

"You are not coming with me dressed in a women's tux," Sesshoumaru said with a frown.

"Why not?" Kagome asked.

"Because I said so."

"Well I'm not buying anything else," Kagome countered. "Its either that or I don't go."

"Or I buy you a dress."

Kagome glanced at him in surprise. "What?" she whispered.

"I'm going to buy you a dress," Sesshoumaru said slowly, as if she were only a child.

"Um, no."

Sesshoumaru shook his head. "You don't have a choice. While I'm at it, I may as well get your hair done at the hotel salon." He grabbed her hand and inspected it. "A manicure is in order as well."

"Whatever!" Kagome said as she jerked her hand away from him. "I'm not doing it!"

"Shoes too," Sesshoumaru said, ignoring her. "What do you think Marshal Taijia?"

"I totally agree. A facial too."

"Sango!"

"What?" Sango said with a shrug. "Why not?"

"I agree. The ball starts at 6 o' clock. You will spend until 5:30 in the salon."

Kagome huffed. "Who'll look after you?"

"I will," Sango volunteered. "Just do it."

"No." Kagome crossed her arms over her chest. "We'll see," Sango sang as she leaned back against the seat.

Kagome glanced up suddenly, looking out the window over Sango's shoulder. She then tapped on the privacy glass.

"Hey Miroku, what kind of car is in front of us?" she asked. Miroku's head popped in the window moments later.

"A black SUV, why?"

"There's one beside us too," Kagome said as she moved toward Sesshoumaru. She straddled his lap and peered over his shoulder through the window behind him.

"Oh crap."

"What is it?" Sesshoumaru asked her as she shifted against him.

"Miroku, pass us our stuff."

"Will we need it Boss?" Miroku asked as he passed a black duffle bag and two hard plastic cases through the privacy window. Sango grabbed one of the cases, pulled out a .44 Magnum and proceeded to load it.

"I think so," Kagome said as the window of the SUV on their left slid down.

"GET DOWN!" Kagome exclaimed as a gun poked through the window. Bullets flew through the air moments later. Kagome jerked Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru to the floor, then erected an invisible shield around the limo passengers. She reached around Sesshoumaru, who'd landed on top of her, for the black case with her shotgun inside. She loaded it, then raised herself up to unroll one of the windows.

"You willing to pass me rounds?" she asked Sesshoumaru. He nodded as Sango opened her window and returned fire. They could hear Miroku's rifle in the front. Kagome pointed the shotgun at the SUV behind them and fired.

The SUV pulled back, but wasn't damaged. Kagome swore and reached toward Sesshoumaru for another round. Inuyasha passed Sango another clip as the two SUVs remaining returned fire. Kagome stuck her gun out of Sango's window and pulled the trigger.

The rear tire exploded, sending the SUV skidding off the road and into a ditch on the other side of the road. Kagome reloaded and stuck the barrel out the sunroof, aiming for the SUV ahead of them. A shot and an instant later it too swerved off the road with a shattered back window. Kagome pounded on the privacy window as soon as the opposing vehicle moved aside.

"Let's go, Miroku! Get us out of here!"

"You took care of them all, Kagome!" Miroku told her as the driver picked up speed. "There's no reason to get a ticket on top of this!"

"I didn't hit the last SUV!"

"The one behind us?"

"Huh?" Kagome turned around and, sure enough, the last SUV was slowly trying to catch up with them.

"Let's go, Miroku! We don't have all day!"

Sesshoumaru sat on the floor at Kagome's feet, his pride taking a bruising with each shot fired. 'I'm a taiyoukai! What am I doing, sitting here and allowing these humans to protect me. Ha!' Sesshoumaru snorted lightly, missing Inuyasha's strange look. 'This has gone on long enough.'

"Stop the car Norton!"

"What?" Kagome shouted. "Are you serious Takamada?"

"I said stop the car!" Sesshoumaru demanded, scaring the elderly driver into doing as he was told. The limo skidded to a stop across both lanes. Sesshoumaru stepped out and walked down the road toward the SUV, which stopped at the end of the road.

"What are you doing?" Kagome cried as she shed her jacket, grabbed two bullets and went after him. "Do you have a death wish?"

"I'm tired of running," Sesshoumaru growled. He crossed his left hand over his chest, extended his claws and willed the green poison to flow from their points. "It's time I fought back."

"By taking on a two ton SUV?" Kagome countered as she ran behind him.

"Go back to the car Kagome."

"Forget it!" Kagome reached for Sesshoumaru's jacket, but missed as he walked toward the SUV. 'Oh God, he's lost it!' she told herself as she loaded her shotgun. 'Only one thing to do: watch and wait.'

The SUV revved its engine before burning rubber toward Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru ran toward it, his hand extended and ready to rip the metal monster into pieces. Kagome raised the shotgun at Sesshoumaru's back, waited until he was mere inches from the SUV's bumper to levitate him above the car and pulled the trigger.

The bullet burned toward the SUV in a purple comet-like streak, then collided with the hood before exploding. The SUV turned on its side and skidded uncontrollably toward Kagome. Kagome dove away at the last second, the SUV missing her and embedding itself into a nearby ditch before igniting into a fiery inferno.

"That sucked," Kagome mumbled as she stood up and dusted herself off. She glanced at the flaming car, then at the CEO hovering over her head like a pissed off guardian angel. She gave him an innocent smile.

"How are you Mr. Takamada? Are you sane yet?"

"I never lost my sanity," he said as Kagome turned around and walked back to the limo. To his indignation, Kagome started to pull him after her like a kite. He growled down at her, then sighed, propped his elbow on his knee and rested his chin in the palm of his hand.

"Sure," Kagome said as Sango and the others stepped out of the car. One look at Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and Miroku burst out laughing. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at them, then turned a quizzical glance to Kagome.

"When do I get down from here?" he asked her. Kagome shrugged. "When you promise not to pull another stunt like that."

Sesshoumaru sighed in long-suffering. "Fine. I give you my word. I won't pull another 'stunt'."

Kagome smiled and slowly lowered him to the ground. "Good boy. Now, what are we going to tell the FBI?"
