The Grey Scale by Lady Kirara

Playing with Fire

Kagome listened patiently while the older woman in front of her reminisced about her younger days. The day was almost over, and she was ready to call it a night, but she didn’t know how to politely dismiss the woman. As luck would have it, her shadow seemed to be rather impatient.

Sesshoumaru had remained hidden for the majority of the day, satisfied simply watching the auction. Now that things were finished he was ready to have his presence known. Clearing his throat he approached Kagome and the elderly woman.

“Sesshoumaru! What a surprise to see you here.”

“Hnn. Might I have a word.”

That seemed to be all the interruption she needed. The woman thanked Kagome again as she pointed out where she could pick up the records she’d won. When she returned to Sesshoumaru she smiled. “I’m surprised to see you here.”

“I came to see where my contributions were going.”

Kagome looped her arm through his open one and allowed him to walk her out. “Satisfied?”

Sesshoumaru nodded once and turned to face her. “I also came to seek your assistance. I have a business dinner I must attend on Friday and I require company.”

Kagome grinned. “Are you trying to ask me out on a date Sesshoumaru-sama?”

The utterly offended look on Sesshoumaru’s face was enough to send Kagome into a fit of giggles. It had been worth it to ask. “I’m only joking. Of course I’ll join you. Don’t look so insulted, I was only teasing you.”

Sesshoumaru allowed a small hnn to know she was forgiven, but he found himself wondering why he felt disappointed. Having finished what he’d set out to do he walked her to her car and said goodbye. “I will pick you up at 7 o’clock sharp.”

“You got it.”

AN: Somehow I have a really good feeling Sesshoumaru is gonna fall much faster than Kagome ;) I just adore how easy she finds it to tease him.
