Chappy

Title: Let the games begin!

He sat at

his desk sorting through some stock quotes and new proposals; you know, the

usual. One proposal, however, had

disturbed him; it was an offer from an old rival, both business and personal,

for a merger. It's not that the merger

would have been bad for the company, but something about it just wasn't

right. He narrowed his gaze at the

sleek silver clock above his door. '4:17,

where did the day go?'

His

eyes were averted to the door as the handle began to turn down. It opened to reveal a young girl, about 19,

with a very shy and skittish look adorning her features. He turned his attentions back to the papers

he was previously reviewing and decided to save them for Monday. After sliding the documents into a folder,

he opened a drawer to his right and gently pressed it inside.

The soft

click-clack of heals had stopped some time ago but the girl had yet to speak

up. It was odd because his secretary

would normally carry on, speaking without the need for proper acknowledgement,

while he continued his work.

He closed

the file drawer and turned his attentions to his computer to write an

email. When the email was nearly

complete he paused in awareness of her presence, and her silence.

"What is it

Yura?" The girl twisted her hands

around a pencil and sighed, which promptly gained his full attention.

"Sir, the

break room...well, it's just that...I mean...could you go there please?" She

hesitated so much that he wanted to laugh but settled for raising an eyebrow.

"Well, you

see sir, the break room is...umm..." She squinted her eyes trying to find the right

words to describe the situation. "It's...bewitched?" It was taking all he had not to laugh at her this time. She did a small bow and sighed again.

"Could you

just come see please?" He bit back the

urge to sigh and turned to his computer to send his email. Once finished he stood and moved to exit his

office, only stopping to grab his coat.

'Might as well go home after this.'

Yura opened

the door and followed him down the hall to the break room. Whatever he expected to see, it wasn't what

he did see. From his view at the

door, he could see two employees of his jumping in fright with every step they

took. When something touched the ground,

the floor would spit up a splatter of paint that hit with a sting. He watched through narrowed eyes only to see

that it seemed to be rubber bands covered in multiple shades of red, green, and

blue.

"Sir, I'm

sorry, but I really didn't know what to do" He nodded towards Yura and excused

her.

"Stop

moving" On his command, both employees froze in their tracks. He noticed that both of them were covered in

paint from head to toe. The path of

'paint grenades' seemed to lead a path to the door, and so he walked them

through the process of exiting the room.

He closed the door and had a note posted for the janitor to be careful

and have it all clean come morning.

'Whoever

did this will be fired. No one

sabotages my office building and gets away with it' He stopped just

before the elevator and mentally cursed...he forgot his briefcase in his

office. Bad move!

He stepped

inside and shut the door before moving towards his desk to retrieve his

forgotten item. The moment he stepped

just a foot in front of his door the 'paint grenades' began going off. He spun around at the sound of a snicker

coming from the corner and moving at a quick pace towards the door. The only hint of the culprit was wavy raven

locks of hair and the sole of a brand new pair of sketchers.

'Kagome!

How could I have forgotten she was supposed to meet me here today? Damn it, the

war...she's gonna pay!' He grabbed the remains of his belongings and

rushed out of the building with inhuman speed.

When he reached the garage he noticed that Kagome was nowhere to be

found. 'Good. She can walk home!' He was livid...his

silky, pristine white hair was now tinted an odd mix of blue and red; there

would be retribution for this 'battle'.

He pulled

out of the garage and noticed his 'opponent' standing on the sidewalk in front

of his office. With the door locked and

the window rolled down only a smidgen, he pulled up along side her and smiled.

"Hello

artist."

"Hi"

"Want a

ride home?" She nodded and moved toward

the door only to find it locked.

"Too bad"

With that he drove off...

"FLUFFY"

The car came to a screeching halt. Her

hand shot up to her mouth and her right foot twiddled in front of her.

"Maybe I

shouldn't have said that so loud." The back up lights came on as her eyes grew

to the size of saucers. "Uh oh" She

turned on her heel and began sprinting down the street. Where she was going was anyone's guess, so

long as she could get away from him.

She turned

her head to the side to see his car coming up on her heels quickly...bad move

Kag's. Her eyes grew even wider than

before as her body met with an object that was more than happy to give her a

full body ache. There wasn't enough

time to do much but wait for the impact of the unforgiving sidewalk.

"Oomph...oooooowwwww,

damn pole!!!!!!!" She ignored the car

that stopped and rubbed her head. 'Good

one Kag's, he'll never let you live THIS one down'

"Clumsy

today?" She scowled up at him...

"Do you

like to repeat yourself?" He raised an eyebrow before putting his hand out in

front of her. She grabbed it and winced

when she stood. 'Definitely a bruise!'

"Would you

like to go home now?" She nodded to him before getting in the car.

"How did

you do that to my office?" She smirked

"My secret"

"Is that

so?"

"Mm hmm, a

good soldier never willingly gives up battle tactics to the enemy"

"I'm the

enemy now?"

"You're the

one that called war this morning"

"Mm...true"

He nodded and narrowed his eyes.

"You are

going to pay for this." He held up a lock of hair that seemed to be turning a

sickening purple color. She had to bite

back the laugh that wanted so badly to spill from her lips.

"You think

this is funny?"

"Very much

so fluffy-sama" She gave a small, nervous laugh at his scowl; it promised pay

back, and he was a great tactical leader...she was so going to get it.

He pulled

into the garage quietly and turned off the engine. When she got out he let himself indulge in a small smile and

watched her walk towards the exit. Just

as her hand made contact with the doorknob, she felt strong arms wrap around

her waist. Since the books she held

bound her hands, all she could do was freeze.

He leaned

down to her ear and spoke in that same deep voice he had used on her earlier

that morning. "You will pay. By my hand, you will feel my wrath. No one touches the hair." Her shiver was

satisfaction enough for him at the moment so he released her and opened the

door like a gentleman.

They both

made their way into the house and stood stock still as three pair of eyes glued

to the sight of them. His hair was

slowly turning sickly shades of purple in a very matted do, while her jeans

were torn and dirty with her shirt a bit twisted. Granted, to the three teens, the sight didn't look too promising

for either Sesshoumaru or Kagome's reputations. They both raised an eyebrow at the trio, which was responded with

roars of laughter and pointing.

Sesshy

turned on her in a heartbeat and lowered his head to whisper.

"Your

punishment just multiplied by 3; once for each of them"

"Hey! They're laughing at me too you know!" He

raised an eyebrow as if to ask her if she truly thought he cared. Her eyes grew wide in anger as he glided up

the stairs with as much dignity as he could pull together. She turned her gaze to the floor with a

scowl, effectively stopping the thundering noises.

"Sango,

Miroku, Inuyasha..." Her whisper scared them more than anything any of them could

conjure; and her pause was making them itch with anticipation and fear. She slowly pulled her head up to peer at

them through her bangs, a horrifying sight in itself. "Run" They didn't have to be told twice...

Inutaisho

made his way up the front steps and stopped to hear the loud thuds racing

towards him. He was nearly knocked over

when Inuyasha and Miroku came stumbling out the front door with speed he could

only wish for, both pausing a moment in greetings.

"Hey

father"

"Good

afternoon, Inutaisho-sama"

"He..."

The two

were off again with the sounds of more footsteps within the house.

"...llo?"

"Come on

Kag's, its not that bad-oomph!" There was a loud thud that sounded from

just inside the house. 'I'd say

the hallway near the...' A few more sounds of scrambling escape attempts

came towards the door. '...dining

room'

Inutaisho

opened the front door and nearly fell over laughing at the sight that greeted

him. Sango was on her back waving her

arms in a frantic attempt to free herself from the grasp of Kagome whom was

currently straddling her while pulling on her hair. 'There are just times

that she seems like a child again' He sighed wistfully before

attempting to gain Kagome's attention in a vain attempt to save Sango from

becoming bald.

"Kagome"

Nothing "Kagome" Nothing "KAGOME!!"

Said girl jumped off her friend immediately and posed a sweet posture that

clearly stated that she wasn't 'up to anything'.

"Hello

Inutaisho-sama, welcome home" He nodded to her and turned to Sango.

"Sango, my

dear, are you all right?" Sango slowly stood and nodded.

"Yes, how

are you today Inutaisho-san?"

"Fine,

fine...now if you would please retrieve my son and the houshi, I would like to

bring this family together for dinner."

Sango

nodded and walked out the door in search of the cowards that left her with the

wrath of Kagome. Just as she shut the

door she heard Kagome call out to her and winced.

"This is not

over!" Inutaisho shook his head with a soft smile...he would never be tired of

Kagome's temper.

"So" Kagome

turned towards his voice "What happened?"

"Nothing"

She muttered under her breath before moving towards the stairs to change. 'Hmm...must have been something between

her and Sesshoumaru...muttering is the same as a blush for this girl!'

"Oh,

Kagome, tell Sesshoumaru dinner will be early tonight, I have a flight to catch

at 8:00." She nodded and made her way

to her room and grabbed some clothes. 'First,

a quick shower...I look horrible' She paused in her steps when she heard

Inutaisho's voice ring over her personal intercom system on her desk.

"Shower

later...dinner is ready." She sighed and changed into a pair of khaki pants and a

small, tight, white t-shirt. A quick

brush through her hair was all she needed to be presentable for dinner and so

she left to retrieve Sesshoumaru for dinner; his room was just across the hall

from hers. She knocked lightly and

waited for his reply.

"Who is

it?"

"Me"

She drummed

her foot lightly on the thick carpet and looked up when she heard the door

opening. Suddenly, she found her self

being yanked through the door. As it

shut, her body was forced against the door with a firm but gentle body. 'Damn

fluffy and his speed!' It never really occurred to her that he purposely

placed her in these positions to disconcert her.

"What can I

do for you?"

"Dinner is

ready"

"It's only

6:00"

"Hai, but

Inutaisho-sama has a flight at 8:00 so dinner is being served early tonight"

"I see" He

pulled back a bit and looked her over before moving his lips right next to her

ear. She could feel his hot breath

gently caressing her neck and involuntarily shivered.

"You should

wear something warmer...unless you want the lech to stare at you"

She looked

at him curiously, completely missing his point. He backed up and looked down with a smirk. When she looked down she noticed just what

he saw; she pushed against him with all her might.

"Pervert"

He snorted and moved away so she could open the door.

"Here" She

turned around just in time to catch a large red sweater with a dragon and

panther on the front.

"Thanks"

She slipped the sweater on as they walked down the stairs and into the dining

room.

Everyone

was seated as usual...Inutaisho at the head, Sesshoumaru to his right, and Kagome

on the right of Sesshoumaru, then Sango, Miroku, and finally Inuyasha. They all glanced up to see Inutaisho begin

eating before they began themselves.

"I will be

leaving in less than an hour, and I will be gone for two weeks. I expect you all to behave." He eyed Kagome and Inuyasha. Kagome raised an eyebrow while Inuyasha gave

his famous 'Feh', which Inutaisho took as agreement. The room fell silent for a moment before Kagome spoke.

"Ne,

Inutaisho-sama?"

"Yes

Kagome?"

"Ano, I was

thinking...I want to learn a new dance"

Inutaisho

raised an eyebrow at her.

"Another?" Kagome shrunk a bit

before continuing.

"Well, this

one is very different from the waltz' and such that I have studied in the

past. It's much more...intense."

"Oh? What

dance is it?"

"Salsa. But I need to find a partner to study

with. It seems that men are afraid to

dance with a bit of a vivacious pulse."

"A partner?

Hmm..." Inutaisho thought a moment before the ever-classic gleam came to his eye;

he loved to play, and this is one game he knew he could win.

"I'm sure Sesshoumaru would love to join you"

Kagome perked up at Sesshoumaru's look of pure horror.

"Oh yes,

Inutaisho-sama, that would be perfect."

"I think

not" Kagome smiled at Sesshoumaru and placed her hand on his arm.

"Come now

fluffy, it will be good to have a new dance to show off at those boring balls" 'And

perfect ammunition in this war' He looked at her with fear and

astonishment flickering in his eyes.

"You would

dance like that in public?" Everyone but Sesshoumaru and Kagome laughed.

"Oh, yes I

would...if it were with you" He narrowed his eyes at her before letting his

demeanor drop. He glanced at his father

and noticed the gleam set in his eyes; there was no way out once those two

agreed on something.

"Very well"

"Yes!

May I be excused please?" Inutaisho nodded.

Kagome left the dining room and headed for her room to find the

information she needed to contact her new sensei.

"May I be

excused as well?" Inutaisho smirked with a knowing glimmer and nodded before

turning to the remaining group.

"It seems

that you three will have a very interesting spring vacation!" He winked at them

and then added. "Tell Sesshoumaru and Kagome goodbye for me; and I expect you

all to mind Sesshoumaru during my absence...I must be off, have fun!" He waved on his way out the door.

"Jeez,

you'd think we were still children!" Inuyasha laughed a bit...he knew his father

only meant for them all to keep out of trouble.

"Well,

technically Kagome is still a child!"

"Not for

long houshi-sama" Inuyasha laughed at the new nickname Sango gave her

boyfriend; she just couldn't leave him be when it came to his lecherous ways.

"Yeah,

that's right Miroku...her birthday is next week.

She'll finally be 18, we should throw her a party!"

"Maybe, but

I think Sess is already planning a party for her"

"Oh come on

Sango, that's just a business party to announce her coming out...they're more

like princess balls anyway."

"True...but

he's still planning it.... maybe we should see what he says about a party"

"No way

lech, Sess has already got his hands on every piece of Kag's life he can. We don't need him to plan a party...she needs

some fun, not a pin-striped suit." All

three started laughing again.

"Hey Yash"

"What

Sango?

"Do you

thinks Sess and Kagome are...I mean...you know..."

"What?

Together?" Sango nodded.

"That's

funny...dad and I were just thinking the same thing this morning. But then I thought about it and I figure,

no! They've always been like that...they're

close, so what!"

"I suppose"

"Come on

you two...let's go watch 2 Fast 2 Furious...I just got a new surround sound system

put in the living room."

"Sweet,

let's do it"

Kagome

paced her room searching for her other slipper so that she could take a

bath. After the conversation at dinner,

she figured a hot bath and some personal gloating would be nice. She hadn't planned on that move, but getting

fluffy to learn the salsa dance was just too perfect to pass up.

"Damn it

all, where is that slipper?"

"Looking

for this?" Sesshoumaru stood in her

doorway holding a fluffy white slipper with a gleam in his eye.

"Give that

to me"

"Ask nice?"

"When I

stand on your grave"

"Ouch"

"Give me my

slipper"

"Demanding"

"I want to

take a bath, give me my slipper"

"No"

"Give it to

me fluffy"

"It?"

"Lech"

"Wench"

"Prick"

"Bitch"

"Ass"

"Britney

Spears"

"Michael

Jackson"

"Kagome"

"Not cool"

"No, you're

not"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...just

GIVE IT TO ME!"

"Uh huh...and

you think they're not together?"

"Shut up

lech"

"Just

pointing out the obvious Yash"

She lunged at him and caught his

waist, which only succeeded in bringing them both crashing down to the

floor. He held the slipper away from

her grasp as she tried to lift herself off of him to gain the upper hand.

"Not today

little one" He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her body down onto

him. She squirmed on top of his body,

inadvertently causing him to want to keep her right where she was, and so his

hold on her tightened. This move, of course,

got her to wriggle even more.

"Stop" He

hissed just loud enough for her to hear.

"Not on

your life, I want my slipper" She tried to reach for the object again and was

met with his low, very inhuman growl.

He tossed the slipper down the hall when she refused to stop moving.

"I said stop"

She looked down into his eyes and suddenly became very aware of the

position they were in. However, his

arms held her down at her attempts to get up.

"Fluffy?"

"You don't

want to get up"

"Don't tell

me what I want"

"Fine...I

don't want you to get up" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Trust me

Kag's, you won't want to see why" She shifted her weight on him and set her

arms on his chest to prop herself up.

The weight was uncomfortable for him, causing him to shift underneath

her. He caught her look of shock and

smirked.

"I did

that?"

"Yes"

"Oh...well,

now that I know...can I get up?" He released her and instantly wished he didn't

when he saw her face. It held nothing

but shear amusement and a promise of black mail.

"Wow...I did

that all by myself?" He stood and gazed at her from the corner of his eyes

trying to figure out just where she was going with this.

"Well, if I

can do that on accident then I can't wait to see what I can do on

purpose." His eyes widened considerably

while she smirked in triumph before running off down the hall to retrieve her

slipper. He went into his room mumbling

something about cruel women and their torture tactics.

She smiled

to herself at the many ideas she already had building up in her sly little mind

to win this war. 'I am DEFINITELY

going to win this time. You are SO

going to bow to me when this is over fluffy!' She laughed by his door before going in to take a bath and settle

in for the night. Tomorrow was going to

be a long, exciting day...war was definitely Kagome's game.

He sat down

on his bed for a moment, a bit bewildered by the fact that he kept Kagome on

him when he could have released her and none of this would have happened. 'Although, I can't say I wouldn't do

it again if I knew that would be the outcome'

A knock

came to the door and sighed to himself.

"What?"

"Hey Sess,

can I come in for a second?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Does it

matter?" 'Cause I know you heard us up here, and you don't need to see

the results' He glanced down and felt like laughing, but he still had a

visitor.

"What do

you want Inuyasha"

"Nothing"

Sesshoumaru

got up and walked over to his closet to find something to wear to bed while

muttering...

"I need a

cold shower...damn it Kagome"

Inuyasha's

eyes shot to the size of Frisbees as his head tore away from the door. He ran down the stairs with a knowing smirk

on his face. 'Next time make sure

no one can hear you lame ass...this is perfect for black mail.'
