InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ To Save Your Life ❯ chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Kagome and Shippou walked downstairs following the toad youkai towards the dining hall. It was a fairly large room with a magnificent cherry wood table in the center.

(A/N Gee they love their cherry wood o.o;;)

Sesshoumaru sat at the head of the table Rin on his right and there were three empty places, the left of Sesshoumaru, an empty seat next to that one and one next to Rin. Shippou immediately took the one next to Rin, much to Sesshoumaru's displeasure and to Rin's delight. Kagome went to sit in the one farthest from Sesshoumaru assuming the one next to him was for his brother when Sesshoumaru abruptly stood up. He made his way towards Kagome and pulled out the chair to his right for Kagome. She raised an eyebrow but sat down without a word.

Shippou and Rin were giggling silently at Sesshoumaru's abrupt actions. The food arrived shortly stopping any actions of killing Shippou or scolding Rin for having the `audacity' of laughing at Sesshoumaru.

Two servants came in each holding a plate of steamed rice with vegetables and pieces of chicken and shrimp in a sweet sauce. A servant placed a covered plate in the empty place setting to make sure the food was still somewhat warm later on. About ten minutes into the meal Kagome's bracelet went off signaling someone was calling her, seconds later Kagome heard Sango's voice.

"Kagome, dude we are heading towards the Ataki residence."

"Were there any problems watching Inuyasha?"

"Some complications have arisen, but I'll explain everything once we get there."

"All right."

Sango ended the signal, what she said worried Kagome slightly Sango sounded slightly worried.

Shippou looked over at Kagome worriedly, but she smiled and said, "They take care of themselves and the cases, nothing to worry about."

Sesshoumaru however heard the worry in her voice and so did the kitsune.

After dinner was finished the door to the dining hall opened and there stood Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku.

Miroku had a bandaged hand and Sango had a busted lip, Inuyasha however looked the worst; He had a bruise on his cheek and his clothes were battered and his shirt slightly torn.

Kagome stood up immediately and went to inspect their wounds, they weren't serious but they had gotten into trouble, "What happened?" Kagome directed the question towards Sango.

She sighed and began to explain their day, "After Inuyasha left the building Miroku and I went off to follow him, we ended up stopping at a restaurant for a late lunch when Naraku and Kikyo walked in hand in hand. Inuyasha was fine until Naraku walked over to…ahem...say hello. The bastard wanted to rile up Inuyasha it was so fucking obvious. This git over here," she pointed to Inuyasha, "Took the bait."

Inuyasha simply grunted in acknowledgment.

"Things were said mainly Inuyasha threatening Naraku to stay away from him, some nasty things towards Kikyo…she disserved them, and then all hell broke loose when Kikyo attacked Inuyasha for having said something particularly nasty about her and Naraku."

"What did you say?" Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a raised eyebrow.

"Feh, I simply said she and baboon boy would make a lovely couple fucking at the zoo in a cage like all the other shit ugly animals, then I said `no, no, you've already done that haven't you?'"

Kagome burst into laughter, "Nice, nice, so what happened next?" She looked at Sango again.

"Well, we pried Kikyo off of him and stopped her from being attacked as well. Then Naraku stepped in saying Inuyasha had started it all. Then Inuyasha right hooked him sending him into someone else's table, where he was covered in pesto sauce. Kikyo attacked Miroku sticking a small dagger, thank god not one with poison, into his hand and tried to attack me so she could get to Inuyasha. She managed to bust my lip, but I knocked the wind out of her and gave her a good shiner in her left eye."

Kagome looked slightly amused at the story. "Did you get the dagger?"

Miroku spoke up, "The bitch stabbed me and took it back I think she realized that the dagger might be traced to her so she took it out immediately."

Kagome stepped up towards Miroku and Sango she quickly healed the busted lip and stab wound. They checked out the areas and smiled, they were good to go. Inuyasha only had a bruise, but Kagome checked him out with her glasses, there was an unnatural pulse on his neck, a small one mind you, but it was there. Using her miko powers she extracted the devise and healed his bruise.

It was some sort of tracking chip; Kagome instantly disabled it and gave it to Miroku to analyze it.

"Miroku I want you to stop at my office and pick up two pairs of glasses in my office desk drawer put them on at all times around Inuyasha they are the same as the ones I am wearing except one is black and they look like regular reading glasses. You can go home afterwards; you've had a long day. Shippou and I will take over now."

Both Sango and Miroku looked at Kagome as if she was a goddess. They left saying their goodbyes to everyone, also telling them they'd be here at 6 tomorrow for Inuyasha.

Kagome excused herself and went towards her room she slipped into a towel robe and went into the bathroom to take a refreshing bath. She brought in the files Shippou had gotten for her. He knew that she thought best in baths so he always laminated he pages. She looked at the Naraku files first, nothing really new there, he ruled his companies with an iron fist and he was romantically involved with Kikyo. Kagome looked at Kikyo's file, Which Shippou had been smart enough to look up without her having to ask, apparently she has had thee miscarriages and one abortion. The abortion was during her time with Inuyasha while she was cheating on him, and the miscarriages were during her public affairs with Naraku.

`So Naraku wants a kid…"

Kagome made a note to ask Inuyasha if he and Kikyo had sexual relations at all.

There wasn't anything interesting in there either, except that Kikyo worked as a protector before her relationship with Naraku and Inuyasha. The only thing is all but one of her clients ended up dead; her client was…Naraku…of course.

Kagome went through the files of George Kio and Kira Tomak; apparently they both wanted something Rin for their own. Kira had been married to George but they divorced due to Kira's infatuation with Rin after having seen her at one of Ataki's parties. George soon swooned for the girl as well. George and Rin had gone out for a brief period of time, but George got possessive and Sesshoumaru forbid the relationship to go any further much to Rin's joy. He is convinced that Sesshoumaru is the only thing standing in his way, and is delusional to the fact that Rin hates him. Kira however is infatuated with the girl and if she can't have her no one will. Kira made it publicly known that she was in love with the girl. She soon found herself being criticized for liking such a young girl, when she was twice her age.

Kagome laughed a bit, `I suppose Rin is adorable enough to have her own stalkers.'

She put the files down and picked up the last one, Eri Fatami. Apparently he owned a major software company in Tokyo, and he fell in love with Sesshoumaru, thinking he was gay, and wanted to have a relationship with him. Sesshoumaru denied him completely and placed a restraining order on him. He violated the court order many times and actually tried to attack a business partner of Sesshoumaru's when he thought they were on a `date'.

Kagome smiled to herself at this, `I wonder what Sesshoumaru's reaction was towards being thought of as gay.'

She soaked a little longer in the tub and thought about the suspects. They all definitely had reason to want the Ataki's dead or suffering. She finally got out and dried off putting on her pajamas. A pair of long cotton blue pajama bottoms and a white tank top. Kagome wasn't sleepy so she decided to check out the house and on Shippou.

She walked down the hall and found Rin's room. She knocked having heard sounds from inside. She opened the door and there in bed was Rin snuggled in Shippou's arms. Shippou looked up at Kagome, "She didn't want to be alone and she wanted me to tell her a story." Shippou wore an undershirt and pajama bottoms and Rin wore Capri pajama bottoms and a long cotton shirt with bunnies on it. Rin smiled at Kagome and asked if she would stay too and keep them company.

Kagome stayed with them for a little while until Rin fell asleep. They had laughed and joked about many things, mainly to amuse Rin, after she was sound asleep Shippou and she talked for a little while before he went off to bed; his senses alert on Rin. Kagome walked out not feeling tired at all and continued to explore the house. She found a room that seemed to belong to Rin when she was a child. It still had all her stuffed animals and her old clothes there. The room was painted a soft pink and there were toys scattered everywhere. Kagome moved on and found a library, an art room, and a few other guest rooms.

There was one room she hadn't explored and there was light coming from the room. She walked slowly towards the slightly opened door and found a roaring fire lit. The room seemed to be a study there was a desk much like the one in her room but much larger. There were couches around the fire made of a soft velvet black material. There was a glass door leading towards the balcony and it was open. Kagome walked closer to it, it overlooked the Gardens just like her room. She looked out and on a tree branch sitting only wearing black pajama bottoms was Sesshoumaru. His hair was no longer in a braid but flowing freely. He looked directly at her before he leapt towards the balcony.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was calm and soothing.

"I wanted to get to know the house, I saw light coming from this room and decided to explore. What were you doing outside?"

"I normally go outside to think."

Kagome couldn't help but admire his smooth yet muscular stomach, his arms were broad and his skin was a pearlish glow not a sickly white.

Kagome snapped out of her train of thoughts and looked at Sesshoumaru straight in the eyes. She almost got lost in his golden orbs before she remembered she wanted to ask him something.

"George Kio, he dated Rin for a short while, what did he do that made you beak off the relationship between Rin and Kio?"

Sesshoumaru sat on the balcony edge overlooking the gardens, "When Rin went out with him he become possessive, keeping close eyes on her and would be sending her gifts all the time taking her away from her studies, finally he set up a secret camera in her bedroom to watch her. When I found it I forbid him from seeing my daughter again. He threatened me said I couldn't control my daughter's feelings. The idiot thought Rin loved him. She was getting scared of him and asked me to never let him near her again. I would have put a restraining order on him had he not been a company owner I needed at the time. He stayed away however and that is good."

Sesshoumaru looked at Kagome turning away from the gardens he admired her body through the form fitting tank top and the slight midriff that showed above the baggy pants.

"The kitsune, Shippou, he likes my daughter as she likes him." It was a statement but he said it more like a question.

"Yes Shippou has feelings for her and she does for him, he would definitely protect her without pay. I am quite surprised he likes her; he has never really liked a girl before or had time to anyways. We are always on cases sure there have been pretty girls to protect before but he took no interest in them."

Sesshoumaru took in her information, she spoke of the boy as if he was her own and obviously was attached to him in a motherly way. He decided to drop the subject of the kitsune's relationship with Rin.

"Tomorrow I have only one meeting in the morning after that I am free. I promised Rin I would take her where ever she wanted to go, I suppose you and the boy will accompany us?"

"Why Sesshoumaru do you not want us there?" Kagome said with mock hurt.

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow and his lips curved upwards slightly.

"You put words in my mouth women."

Kagome cleared her throat and closed her eyes she opened them smiled and walked towards Sesshoumaru, "I make it a point to know my clients name's the least you can do is remember mine it is not woman but Kagome." She said it all inches away from Sesshoumaru's face her voice calm and eerie.

Sesshoumaru merely looked at her wondering why the human smelled differently from most humans. It could not be because she was miko, he had encountered mikos before and they always smelled as bad as most humans. Kagome backed way a little, "Goodnight Sesshoumaru I will see you tomorrow."
