True Love

By: Lady Danielle

"Welcome to Women Talk, I am Diana Lee, and today's guest is Ms. Kagome Higuarshi, who is known as the Mother of the Century."

The audience goes wild as Kagome comes out on the red carpet covered stage and sits on the long white couch that is facing slanted for the audience and Diana Lee to see. Kagome is wearing a black pants suit, flats, and her hair is down. The audience is filled with only female demons that looks like millionaires with all their jewelry and expensive outfits.

"Hello, Welcome to the show, Kagome it's an honor to have a young lady like you here. Take a seat." she shakes Kagome's hand.

"It's nice to be here and thank you for giving me a ring." she sits down and looks at Diana then the audience.

"Ok, Kagome, I told you we are going to have a few calls today from outside and inside people so the world could know more about you. You nervous?"

"Not really." she smiles.

"But, before we get started, tell us about yourself."

"Hello, my name is Kagome Higuarshi and… I really don't know what to tell you."

"Your such a doll." Diana laughs and the audience join her. "Ok, here is our first topic." She looks to the side screen and "Jobs" appears.

"This is going to be fun." Kagome laughs.

"You have no idea. First, tell us about your jobs since you started working."

"I've worked since I was sixteen years old. I was a an stock girl at a Deli and supermarket, I've done editing for writers, dance teacher, music teacher, tutoring, bar tender, cook, waitress, and now I'm working for Mr. Taishou in Uptown Tokyo.

"Was you a stripper, too?"

"No."

"You worked in a "The Band of 7" when you was sixteen."

"Yes, I was the dancing teacher for the women their."

"So, you never swung on a pole before."

"I have, but clothes on and it was just the women and I on early…Saturday mornings."

"So, you never a stripper?"

"No."

"And when you was eighteen you wasn't a prostitute?"

"Wow," Kagome giggles and leans back in the chair. "No, I wasn't a prostitute."

"This picture here," she points to the screen with Kagome wearing a black skirt, fishnet shirt, and a black bra underneath appears while standing on the corner with a bunch of girls wearing wigs. "This looks like prostituting to me."

"I remember that picture. I was talking to my friend on the corner and also going to school through the "Goth" faze. I wore that to school that day and I went to a 'School of Creative Image.' That's such a nice and creative image, right? At the time I was being a model for my teacher…Mrs. Pale I think her name was. A model has to look her best. And that corner was the 'Hang out Corner' to the school. Don't you see how colorful we look 4:00pm to 6ish in the afternoon. "

"Sure, Kagome. Sure."

"Glade that you agree. If I would of known you had this picture I would of brought the rest of them with me. I have more with me." she digs out more from her inside pocket. "This one was for Global Warming and the group leader in the class wanted a world of trash picture from me."

The picture shows Kagome wearing shorts, tank top, and surrounded by trash on the beach.

"Oh, ok." Diana's voice starts to get a bit low.

"Your trying to find out a Downtown young lady me doing in a place like this? Trying to get a dirty secret, huh? The dirties job I had was working in a dumb trying to separate plastic and paper while digging through huge and piles of garbage. I don't miss those days."

"We have a caller…"

"Ok. Hi!" Kagome smiles at the camera.

"Hello everyone and I have a question for you, Ms. Kagome."

"I'm all ears."

"The job you have now with Mr. Sesshomaru Tashiou. How did you get it?"

"My brother knew Mr. Tashiou was looking for an assistant and he helped me."

"Right, your boss is a dog demon, right? And so are you, correct?"

"Correct for both of your questions."

"Your didn't sleep with him to get the job, right? To my understanding dog demons are rare to find now a days. Throughout Tokyo there are only…25%."

"No, I'm not sleeping with my boss. I have a masters in Business and graduated from Tokyo University as a 4.0. I understand that we are both dog demons, but you assuming us sleeping together is ridiculous."

"Have you heard of Mr. Tashiou in the past? He is known to be seen with more than fifty girls while working at that job. And there is a rumor saying he bedded most of his employers."

"And your assuming I'm one of them?"

"You've seen the papers, your always smiling and talking with him. You address him by his first name and your always with his daughter."

"Can't I be happy doing what I like to do? Not everyone is miserable at their job and for addressing me as Kagome and him as Sesshomaru doesn't mean anything. Diana Lee is calling me by my first name since she called me, so I guess I'm sleeping with her too. And as for Sesshomaru's daughter, Rin, she's a lovely little girl and very fun to be around. You should see her dance."

"…And you mention your 'brother' referring you to the job? Your little brother, Souta?"

"No, I have a brother name Miroku."

"The human driver? Why a human for a brother?"

"Yes."

"Was your mother…

"Speak your words wisely." Kagome warns. "Miroku and my sister Sango has always been with me since I lived in Midtown and Downtown. They are my brother and sister along with Souta, regardless of being human or not. We love each other very much. They are not my blood relatives, but they are my family. If some demons can't accept that then that's not my problem."

"Thanks for calling. Next topic." Diana pushes a button and a picture of Sesshomaru appears. "We have Mr. Sesshomaru Tashou to talk about. A lot of young ladies have been wondering about a few things. We already covered the fact that your not sleeping with him, but is it true you two speak?"

"Sure we speak, it's a way to communicate."

"Funny." she sucks her teeth.

"You mean do we have a relationship?"

"Yes?"

"This is funny. I knew this will be the topic of this evening. But Sesshomaru and I do speak on a daily basics. He gives me a project and I do it. He's my boss and I'm his worker."

"Kagome, seriously? Look at this sexy and handsome demon that millions or even billions of young ladies will like to be with. Your telling me you have no feelings for him? Nothing is going on?"

"I've been working for Sesshomaru for… a few months now and I'm very impress with his intelligence and how he runs his company. Who here doesn't like an intelligent man or any man that's handsome as he is. He is attractive but I can't find myself being with him as his mate."

The audience gasps and calls her a liar under their breathes.

"Are homosexual?"

"No." Kagome laughs and looks at the picture. "I just don't know Sesshomaru enough to really know him. I'm the type of girl that looks at personality, intelligence, and-

"So your saying you will not POUNCE on that knowing there is a risk of your species?"

Some of the audience laugh.

"No. I'm allowed to fall in love with anyone I want. I've hung out with different species throughout my life and if I fall in love with a human, cat demon, or a fox demon then so be it. I was born with freedom to marry who I want."

"So you will fall in love with a Ogre?"

"Sure, if we hit it off well."

"Hit it off?"

"We love each other, going out for a few years, and then want to get married."

"Come on, Kagome, a discusing and ugly creature like an ogre?" she laughs.

"Orge's seem to be stereotyped as some of the ugliest creatures in the world. I totally disagree with that and to let you know I have a orge best friend and for you to sit in front of me and call him ugly is very disrespectful and very ugly of you. My friend is the toughest guy I know and very respected. He went to college with me and I am completely in love with his horns."

"You have very weird taste or no taste at all. But coming from Downtown, I'm not surprised."

"Yes, I came from Downtown Tokyo and I took in every child, human or demon, inside my home. And I had grown men come to me asking why I can't get a job or a mate? Why am I so ugly? This world lives on stereotypes and 'beautiful' people get everything and are the smartest. To many people live by that and that causes depression and suicide."

"Will you let your pup's babysitter be a troll?"

"Trolls are very protective of their young's and if I know them in order to trust them with my pup I will. I have no problem with that. And about your ' coming from Downtown' comment. When you think of Downtown you think of no talent, discussing, disease, drugs, and what ever nasty thing you want to think of. Look at me, I'm here now. I worked my butt off to get where I am now. I was not brought up in a rich and peaceful environment. My neighbor was sometimes a drug dealer or what ever you think of them, but guess what? Since the day I was born I've always expressed, spoke, fixed, and been the smartest because I studied hard. Since I was eight years old I was a mother, sister, and a role model. I've changed my community so much. I have put others in school and get scholarships. I didn't have parents to raise me, but I had a mother and grandfather who loved me. I will not have my life any other way. I am blessed and very thankful I come from Downtown because I wouldn't the strong women I am today. I came on this show because I know how you work. You try to put people down like so many others. You calling me a prostitute and a stripper does not insult me because those women have the courage that none of you will have. Will you get on a pole and show your bodies?"

"No, but-

"My point. They are brave to do that and you're the type of person that makes them do that. They come into your stores wearing name brand things and the prices in the store are between $100 to $5,000. I've had clerks come up to me friends and I telling us, 'We don't keep money in the store.' or if we are their for a job interview its, 'We don't accept your kind.' The only ones I see who are ugly in this world is people like you. We have wars for people like you…Congratulations, you killed millions of people because they don't act or look…just…like…you. Good job" Kagome takes a sip of water. "Any other questions?"

"…"

"Oh, and I am a virgin and my love or like life has nothing to do with the world."

"Coming from Downtown I'm sure you wasn't able to afford everything and our main question is why look after your boss kid? Ever since you had that job you have a house, two cars, and-

"Are you calling me a 'Gold digger?'"

"Yes."

"That's funny because the last thing I check I have a job. Your making a small situation turn in a issue."

"Look, when a unmarried man has kids then its very common for a women to have the kids fall in love with them to get closer to daddy dearest."

"Let me understand this, your saying that I am getting closer to Rin so I can get closer to her father?"

"Yes."

"He's my boss. I'm not really understand your issue. The only answer I have for that is that Rin is a very talented and a wonderful young lady. I've always been around young people like her. I am a dance and music teacher. Sure I'm not going to school for it, but we connect on that topic. Even if her father fires me I hope I will still talk to her. He's my boss so he will be calling, paying me, be around me, and what ever my work requires me."

"To get that raise like many others is through sex."

"I'm not that type of women to throw herself at any man. Didn't we go over this?"

"He's been with…"

"No, I don't want to know or care. His sex life as nothing to do with me."

"Aren't you just little miss perfect."

"I'm not perfect."

"Your right, with your cheap suit your wearing and those small diamonds in your ears. You have no class."

"This suit is very comfortable and it is cheap. And for someone of class your being easily aggravated that I won't break down crying like your other guest you bring on this show. Your being quiet arrogant."

"Are you calling me a bitch?"

"I didn't say that, you did. I didn't think someone from Uptown Tokyo will call themselves something like that. You are just surprising me with such negativity coming out your mouth." Kagome places a hand on her chest and looks so shock. "You should be ashamed."

"The only one should be ashamed is you! You need to be put in your place, hoodrat." she gets up in her chair and takes a step towards Kagome.

"I do not take easy to threats and I'm a dog demon, not a rat or hood. And you standing up with such anger in your eyes shows what your true color is." Kagome stands up in front of her. "I am sorry that I will not sit here and make you make a lying fool out of me and the people in my life. You have no right to disrespect me or stereotype me."

"You do not belong in our world."

"Your world? I do not want to belong anywhere when it requires sleeping with the director in order to keep a job. I may be a virgin, but I am also a priestess that can see and smell better than other demons, so you can't hid behind your perfume when you reek of many men."

"You bitch!" she tries to attack Kagome, but Kagome moves just in time for security to come.

They take Ms. Lee off the stage, leaving Kagome standing with the audience laughing and clapping.

"I guess I will end the show." she walks up the camera with a smile on her face. She takes a small bow and says, "Thank you for watching Women Talk with guest Kagome Higurashi. I hope this brings women from different classes, races, and culture to a better understanding, but I do apologize for behalf of Ms. Lee tonight. Stay in tune for the news next. Thank you and have a wonderful night… or is it a show after-"

"CUT OFF THE CAMERA."

Kagome left the station through the audience door because she knew news cameras will be waiting for her in the back. She learned her lesson from the last job she had. Walking on the streets of Tokyo was weird when it was five in the morning. She did this the last minute while she had to get ready for Rin and the Sesshomaru friends that's coming today. Even though she had two cards she walked all the way here and it seems she's doing the same thing. As she walks down the block with her ipod in her ears she recognizes a limo across the street. She ignores it as it turns around on the other side of the street and slowly rides besides her.

"In a world where I have to hide my heart and what I believe in. But some how, I will show the world what's inside me heart and be love for who I am." Kagome sings "Reflection" by Christian Aguilera as the window scowls down.

Kikyo with a smile on her face greets her. Kagome stops and takes her headphones out of her ears.

"Good morning." Kagome smiles.

"Get in, please."

"Your not going to kidnap me, are you?"

"Not really." she moves over and opens the door.

Inside the limo they're two demoness, a wind, wolf, and one more human. The wind demon had a red dress with feathers images on it and a feather in her black hair. The wolf demon was wearing a brown pants suit with a rainbow flower pined to her left collar. Her are bright green and her red/orange hair lays down on her shoulders. The other human has very long black hair with side bangs as she wears a light pink kimono with purple flowers on it.

"Hello, Kagome I'm very happy to finally meet you." the wolf demoness starts with a hand shake. "My name is Ayame and Kouga's mate."

"We are all happy to meet you. You put on a great show." the wind demoness laughs and offers her hand. "I am Kagura, Naraku's mate."

"Yes, we heard so much about you and couldn't wait to meet you." the humans says as Kagome takes her hand. "I am Izayoi, Inu no Tashiou's mate."

"Please to meet you all and I didn't expect to be picked up."

"After watching you on Women Talk we just had to save you from the reporters." Kikyo laughs.

"Good job." Kagura laughs with a fan covering her voice. "Seriously, you are very brave to go on the show. You'll make a perfect mate to Sesshomaru."

"I don't want to be his mate."

"We said we wasn't going to talk about that, Kagura." Izayoi smiles.

"Yes, that's for later." Kikyo adds in.

Kikyo is wearing a red suit that is made out of the skin of the fire rat.

"Your married to Inuyasha?" Kagome ask.

"Yes, I'm sorry for not telling you that."

Kagura touches the 'Speaker' button on the side of her and says, "First destination please. We have the day to spend."

-Yes, madam.-

"I'm sorry, but I can't stay all day."

"We took care of Rin and she, along with the children, will be meeting us at island."

"Island?" Kagome asks.

"It's our Summer Island we go to for the weekends." she explains.

"And at the end of the summer we go to the mountains for our cool off." Ayame says.

"Yes. It's all about fun in the sun today. We are going to go shopping for outfits then head for the boat."

"This is going to be nice." Kagome says.

Izayoi, Kagura, Ayame, Kikyo, and Kagome goes to a clothing store to pick out outfits. They weren't leaving the store until dressing up Kagome in the most prettiest and relaxing thing there is. The time they got to the deck to meet a Kikyo's boat to meet the kids the men still weren't there. When Rin sees her she hugs her grandmother Izayoi then squeezes Kagome harder.

"I'm so happy your coming." Rin takes her hand and goes on the boat with the others. "And I saw you on television this morning, it's about time someone puts that women in her place. You had my father smiling."

Rin takes Kagome for herself in the back of the ship while workers put their bags on.

"Can I ask you something?" Rin ask her.

"Sure."

"Are you lonely?"

"What you mean?"

"Your 26 without a mate or a boyfriend. Your living in a house all alone."

"If the right man comes around then I'll welcome him. Are you thinking of a mate?"

"No, not like that."

"Have you had the 'Talk' with your father, yet?"

"I refuse to listen to a male because our bodies are different and I'm sure we feel different things."

"We are both virgins and the only thing I can tell you is that be careful who you give yourself to. Just makes sure they are check for HIV/AIDS or anything, your in love, make sure he had back bone when he meets your father. Just don't do anything you don't want to; no peer pressure. Be happy with your body as well, never be ashamed or embarrassed of it. Oh, and for any male who lays a hand on you tell your elders…What else can I tell you?"

"My father try to give me the Talk, didn't he?"

"Yes, but I never had it told it to me so I don't know what you should be worried about. Well, as for Heat just stay away from males and you'll know when its coming when you feel a tickle or swollen of the virginal area. We get periods and I'm sure you know about that in school, right?"

"Yeah."

"Stay away from drugs and crazy males and you'll be good. I know you're a very smart so your father doesn't have anything to worry about."

"Thanks and about my father…"

"Yeah."

"You don't find him attractive, not at all?"

"No."

"Really?" she looks in Kagome's eyes.

"Seriously, Rin. I don't know him enough to really fall for him. He's attractive but…no. Shouldn't you be against us being together? If we get together then Souta will be your uncle."

"Not by blood."

"You thought about this, haven't you?"

"Yes." she quickly answers.

Rin puts her foot up and leans on the railing to rest her head. "I'm still sleepy."

"Don't lay on the railing. You can lean on me if you want."

Rin, with her eyes close, wraps her arms around Kagome and lays her head on her chest. This wasn't what Kagome means, but it was ok. Rin quickly goes to sleep and the boat is off to sea. The boat is big enough and crawling with kids on the bottom. Kagome and Rin are at the back on the soft couch with shade. Kagome looks out to the ocean as the boardwalk becomes smaller and smaller.

"You don't have a bathing suit, Ms. Kagome?" Kouga asks with his brown trunks and with Ayame by his side wearing a two green piece bathing suite and her hair in two high pig tails.

"Rin stole her away before she can change. When you see Kagome in her suit you'll see all her muscles." Ayame tease.

"I'm not all muscle, just small abs."

"Sake anyone?" Kagura asks as she holds a sake bottles with her blue suit with white strips two piece and a satin cloth around her hips. She stops, takes a drink, and looks at Rin and Kagome. "Aww."

Naraku comes with his matching Kagura's pattern trunks and purple top behind Kagura and kisses her on the neck. Izayoi is wearing a purple white piece with the sides out while Inu no Tashiou is wearing the same color. Inuyasha and Kikyo are wearing red as well, she's wearing a two piece with a red skirt.

'Couples match seems to be a law on this boat. Good thing that I shaved.' Kagome looks at them as they sat across from her drinking.

"Good job this morning," Sesshomaru appears with white trunks with a red flower on the side. His body was just muscles and his purple markings. He was shinny, his muscles was so shinny, and nothing about him was less manly. His whole body is just full of muscles and he look so forbidden to touch. His nipples were perfectly hard and round. His body complimented his face; or was it the other way around. For the first time in her life, Kagome felt her heart beat so fast, her body felt hot and hard to breathe, she had a urge to bit her lip. She put her tongue and looks up at him.

"Thanks I guess." she looks back at Rin as he walks over to her. "I'm worried about her being in the sun."

"I'll take her." he takes her and goes down below.

"Kagome, you should get ready before we get to the docks." Kikyo says. "Everything is down below."

"Sure." she gets up and holds her stomach. "I hope I'm not getting sick."

"Hey, don't get sea sick because I'm not cleaning shit." Inuyasha yells at her.

Kagome tail made a curl as she looks back as she glares at him. "I'll be fine."

Kagome walks in front of the boat and goes under a hallway with close doors that had loud kids in them. Coming from the top, the pathway behind her was a small kitchen with a dinning room table. Her stuff was on the side on the chair with the rest of the things. She takes out her breathing suit and goes change.

'He's my boss! Boss! Boss! Boss!' she jumps a bit and her tail does these strange curls. 'Kami have mercy upon my soul! Personality counts, personality counts, and…omg his nipples…NO!' she closes her eyes and tries to calm herself down. 'I can do this! Let's do this!' she balls her fist and opens her eyes. "I can test waters too."

Kagome changed into a white two pieces with spaghetti straps crossing on her stomach and back. Her bottom are just shorts instead of the underwear looking ones. She put her hair in a high pony tail, shiny sun block on, her sunglasses.

"Now doing all of this…I don't want to go up there." she walks towards the door with a white satin jacket. 'Mama always taught me to never show the goods just yet.' she comes up to the top and everything goes from laughter into silence as she comes up.

"It looks good." Ayame giggles.

"Someone works out." Inuyasaha looks.

"I used to." Kagome looks at Sesshomaru look from her legs with interest, but when Kagome puts on her jacket he narrows his eyes.

'Take that.' she smirks.

"You're the sky type?" Kagura asks.

"It's windy up here." she takes a seat near Sesshomaru with breakfast presented to her.

"If its too cold I can have the cook make you more." Kikyo says.

Kagome taste a egg and says, "No, thank you."

After breakfast Kagome walks in front of the boat to be join by Sesshomaru from behind her.

"One." Sesshomaru whispers in her ear as he stands close behind her.

Kagome turns around and feels trap with his muscle arms blocking both side of her. "What?"

"One women I slept with and that was Rin's mother."

(Author note: I mean to change in Chapter 11 that he only slept with ONE/(1)/UNO women on the job and not many. I need to change it. REMEMBER ONE!)

"…I don't need…" she turns around.

"I'm telling you because I want you to know."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Can you face me?"

Kagome turns around and sticks her tail in between them. "What happened to Rin's mother, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Rin's mother was…a prostitute that I hired because I was going through heat on my own. She died giving birth to Rin."

"I'm sorry."

"She meant nothing to me, but my daughter does. I love her very much and I will like you to keep that secret to yourself."

"If I was in girl scout I will say, Scouts Honor, but I can only say is that I promise." she takes his hand to move it.

"I really meant it."

"What?" she looks at him.

"I really need you." he raises her sun glasses to look in her eyes. "And I'm going to woo you until you know me."

"You're my boss."

"We are not on the clock now."

"But we work together."

"I don't care because I'm not going to fire you."

"How about it I quit?"

"I'm still going to woo you."

"Why me?"

"Not only because your beautiful, but I admire strong, smart, and not self center women like you. You like to get things done and your not afraid to speak your mind." he whispers in her ear.

"After I said everything on not falling for my boss, here I go." she rolls her eyes. "And I'm not saying that I am or agree to you wooing me. The reporters all ready have their eyes on you and I. They are going to have a field day if we are caught eating dinner or anything unprofessional." she looks at his shoulder and notice a bullet wound. "I have another question."

"Yes."

'I should wait until I get to know him before I go deeper in his past. I have things to hide as well. If he sees the Geisha tattoo on my left side of my hip then that will be a problem.' she thinks to herself then looks his face.

"Nothing."

"Sesshomaru, you have a call from Jaken." Naraku calls out to him.

"I'll be back." he leaves Kagome and takes a phone call below deck with his the men in a sound proof room. He puts the phone on speaker… "Jaken?"

"My Lord, the demon you had to spy on the Geshia mafia has been killed. We found his body in Midtown, his heart in Uptown, and his head in a Downtown park."

"Creative." Naraku smirks.

"After we got that asshole out of jail." Inuyasha growls.

"This gives us a clue though, they still own most of Tokyo, and they mean business." Inu no Tashiou looks at Sesshomaru.

"We are still looking into things." Higurashi speaks on the line. "Even I can't cover anything but the Geisha mark they left on his head. My powers don't pick up nothing. These girls are clean."

"Could it be old age getting to you, Higurashi?" Inu no Tashiou ask.

"I'm 300, not 800." he laughs. "But if its this clean then we can be messing with someone like me."

"You think Kikyo or Kagome can-

"Don't get Kagome involved, I left home for that very reason."

"Kikyo doesn't even like me keeping a gun in the house." Inuyasha includes.

"Sesshomaru, are you willing to take Kagome into our of darkness as Queen of the Fang Mafia."

"She'll be perfect because if she can really stand I front of a gun I know she's strong." Sesshomaru tells him. "I want more pups and she raised a neighborhood, so a couple of pups won't hurt and I see myself…falling for her."

"She has the body for it." Inuyashe refers to Kagome's two pack.

Above deck Kagome and the rest of the women are gathered in the back of the boat surrounding Kagome. Ayame kisses Kagome's hands and says, "We always wanted to meet you, our Lady. This is a great honor to finally meet…"

"True Geisha." Iayzoi finishes her sentence as she traces her tattoo cover patch on her chest.

Kikyo has her mark behind her ear, Kagura has her under her tongue, and Ayame has it on her foot where a patch covers.

"Was the body hid as plan? We don't need the Fang Mafia trailing us." Kagome ask Kikyo who hid the parts.

"All is covered and taken care of."

Kagome gets up and stretches as if reaching for the sun. "While we on this trip I don't want to hear about anything dealing with it, understand?"

"Hai, my lady." they say with so much passion.

"Mother always told me, business issues are left as business and vacation and pleasure is on its own. I will take back what my mother work so hard for. Japan will be ours again, soon."

"We will be heading to shore soon." Inuyasha says as him and the rest of the men come up.

Kagome looks at the men and notice Sesshomaru had a very tense look. She goes to him with a worry look.

"Is everything ok?"

"Don't worry about it."

"I don't like that phrase, but I'll accept that for now." she traces her hand along his chin as she walks away to the railing.

Lady Danielle: I'm going back to school soon, so don't get used these back to back updates. And you like how did the twist? Nice, right? LOLZ
