Hi! This chapter is for Smittee's Marvelous prompt. I also wanted to give Sesshomaru another job he usually never gets to have.
Enjoy.

The shop’s door made a ringing noise, telling the people around that someone had opened the door. The people in the room, all men, glanced over to the new customer and eyes widened at the female beauty before them. The woman was on the small size, likely five feet and at most five three. Black hair fell down her back to her waist like a waterfall at midnight. Her shirt was a tight white blouse, showing off her curves daringly to the eyes of the men. Her legs were incased in skin tight jeans that looked butter soft and made the hands around her itch to touch. Her feet were covered by wedge shoes the same color of her hair. A black purse was slung over her shoulder and crossed over her breasts. Large blue eyes scanned the room before locking onto the man behind the counter, a six foot blond that was practically drooling over her. Kagome’s lips twitched but she controlled them into turning into a seductive smile.
Kagome lazily strode to the counter, really a glass viewing case that was filled with firearms. Kagome leaned on the case and looked up at the man through her thick dark eyelashes. She saw his throat move as he swallowed and had to suppress the smile again.
“Can I help you?” He asked. His eyes dipped down and focused below her neck as he talked; Kagome didn’t mind much.
“Yes, I need to buy a gun but you see…” She moved in and the man mirrored the move. He thought his head would explode when her scent reached his nose, a scent that made him think of silk sheets and warm woman. “I don’t think I can pass the background check. I had some trouble with my ex and I don’t feel safe anymore. Can you help?”
The man stared at her for a moment before looking around. Though everyone in the room had their eyes on the woman, no one was close enough to hear.
“I can help you.”

Kagome put her new gun on the desk in front of her and grinned at the man across from her. The man grinned back.
“And you made sure to record the transaction?” He asked, picking up the gun and looking it over.
“I’ve been working with you for years Miroku, you know me.” She put her hand to her ear and took the ear piece out. Next she picked up her purse and reached inside. There was a camcorder inside that had a cord that reached up through the strap of the bag. Kagome took a tape out of and passed to Miroku.
“Good work Higurashi.” He put the tape into a drawer of the desk and took out a check. Kagome gladly took the check and placed it in her bag. Business was slow right now and every little thing helped to keep her office open.
“Thanks Miroku, it was a pleasure doing work with you.” She pushed her chair back and headed for the door.
“I have another job for you, if you are interested.”
Kagome froze and turned back to the man. He was a lawyer, so he brought her quite a bit of jobs, but never before had she gotten one right after finishing another. She went back to her chair and sat down again.
“What kind of job this time?” She asked with a smile. Miroku reached into a different drawer and pulled out a folder that he slid across the desk to her. Kagome flipped it open to see a large picture of a pink jewel.
“Have you heard of the Shikon no Tama?” He tapped the picture. Kagome shook her head, eyes not leaving the picture. “It is translated to mean the Jewel of Four Souls. A man I represent, Naraku, owns this jewel and he is going to have the jewel shown at the museum tomorrow. He has received a threat from someone hoping to steal the jewel and he wants to hire extra protection.”
“And you thought of me? I’m touched.” Kagome put the picture to the side and looked at the one under it, a picture of a man. Long black hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and equally dark eyes stared up at Kagome, causing some unease. He wore a suit that would probably cost more than Kagome made in a year.
“Actually, I thought of the police. Naraku, the man in that picture, wanted something more private. So I recommended your agency.” Kagome sent him a mock scowl before flipping to the next page, a flyer for the event.
“’Come see the Marvelous Shikon no Tama, a beautiful jewel that is said to hold more power than anyone in the world’. No wonder someone wants to steal it.” She rolled her eyes and went to the next page. The page held a photocopied note of the threat. Kagome read through it and her eyes stopped in shock at the signature at the bottom.
“Sesshomaru is after it?!”
