InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Weeds or Wildflowers ❯ Observations ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha nor do I make any profit from this work of fiction.

Sometimes, not even humming a tune under your breath could drown out your narcissistic boss who was too busy prattling about his baboon pelt to notice that he was forcing his assistant into a comatose-like state.

“It's a token of my position as descendant of the righteous Kumo clan!” he twittered as he stroked the freakily white pelt.

Why had he even called her in? She wondered morosely, though the answer was simple; Naraku loved bragging, and boasting to an empty room was superfluous at best.

Languidly-blinking lazy eyes tracked the room, trying to find something to latch onto, to take interest in, so that Kagome's dubious grip on consciousness could be held onto.

She found herself gazing out of the window dreamily for a few moments before a flash of silver caught her attention.

The gardener! Sesshoumaru!

Looking positively mind-melting under the sun, the silver haired, golden eyed gardener was calmly clipping the hedges. She did so enjoy it when he didn't wear a shirt...

Those hard muscles rippled and flexed temptingly as he went about his work studiously, with the practised air of someone who had done this numerous times before. He laboured over the task with a perfectionist's eye, not at all bored by the chore.

She nearly fell out of her chair, however, when he wiped an arm across his face and turned probing golden eyes to stare at her through Naraku's office window. A silver brow quirked in askance.

Blushing and gulping, she turned away; faintly mortified that she'd been caught ogling the already reticent man. If he'd been unforthcoming before, he was going to avoid her like the plague now!

However, she missed the glint in those golden eyes as he surveyed her flushed, rosy cheeks one last time before returning to his task.
