Come Away With Me

Chapter 1- They Can't Tempt Us
<><><><>
~Come Away With Me In the Night,
Come Away With Me and I Will Write You a Song,
Come Away With Me On a Bus,
Come Away Where They Can't Tempt Us With Their Lies~
Kagome sat in front of her computer, pondering the words written on the practically blank document on the screen.
She sang the words she had written aloud to herself. "It's no good unless he loves you, all the way." She paused, and then threw up her hands in frustration. "Ugh! It sounds like an old Frank Sinatra song!" She quickly deleted the line and stared at the now all blank page. She slumped down to rest her head on her arms. "This is hopeless."
"It's not hopeless." She turned from her chair to be greeted with a mug of hot chocolate.
She smiled up at the man handing it to her. "Thanks, I really needed this."
The man sat down elegantly on the couch beside her. "You haven't written anything?"
"Of course I have!" She snapped, turning back to her computer.
"Oh yeah? Then what's that?" He pointed to the blank page.
"I deleted what I wrote."
"Who was it this time?" He asked knowingly.
She sighed. "Sinatra"
"Right"
"Sesshomaru, can't YOU give me any ideas?" She asked, using her best puppy dog face on him.
He chuckled a little into his own mug. "No, I told you. I'm not creative at all. I'm just the manager; you're the creative song writer." He smirked at her as he said these words, the last of a thousand times.
Kagome grumbled things about him under her breath as she once again turned back to the blank document.
She started typing again as Sesshomaru clicked on the TV with the remote. He flipped from Kagome's soap opera channel to a news station and calmly drank his hot chocolate as he watched with a bored expression.
After a few moments the news caught Kagome's attention too, and she decided she had tortured herself enough for one night, and closed out of the document on the computer and joined Sesshomaru on the couch.
In other news our camera man got intimate photos of the popular singer and songwriter Kagome Higorashi cheating on her manager and fiancée of two years Sesshomaru Tashio...
Kagome sat up, horrified. "What?! What are they talking about?" Kagome quickly turned to the man beside her, who still had his arm calmly wrapped around her shoulders. "Sesshomaru it isn't true!"
"I know that." He said calmly, looking alarmed at her panic.
"...Oh." She looked at the TV briefly, then back at him. "What are they talking about?"
He nodded toward the TV. "Look"
The pictures flashing across the screen were pictures of Kagome hugging, eating, and laughing with InuYasha, Sesshomaru's younger brother, who was one of Kagome's good friends.
"But they know he's my friend! Why would they all of a sudden say it's more than that?"
"Because they never get any real gossip on you because you never do anything wrong." Sesshomaru answered plainly.
"Yeah but...wait. How do you know that I don't have a relationship with InuYasha?" She raised a brow, something she'd learned from him.
"Because you would have smelled like InuYasha."
"Oh. Right."
They watched the reporter spread lies about them for a few more minutes, and then she changed the subject, talking about the current war between America and Iraq, and Sesshomaru turned the TV off.
"Let's get some sleep; you must be tired from all that work." Sesshomaru said sarcastically, pulling her off the couch by her hand.
"Hey! I worked really hard for hours you know! So I didn't get anything done, that's how it is in this business sometimes!"
"Mm-hm" He obviously didn't believe her.
Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, then turned and strolled into their bathroom to get ready for bed.
When she came out Sesshomaru was already under their crème comforter, reading a book by lamplight.
"Sesshomaru?" She asked, leaning against the bathroom doorframe.
"Hm?" He asked, distracted by his book.
"Sesshomaru..." She persisted.
He glanced up at her quickly from his book and did a quick double-take.
Kagome had dressed herself in a tiny black baby doll that tied between her breasts with a single black ribbon, and a small black thong to match.
"I went shopping with Sango today, what do you think?" She asked, pretending to peer down at herself as if she weren't sure of how it looked on her.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly.
"Well?" Kagome asked when she got no response.
"It looks nice." He said his voice a little more guttural than normal.
Kagome frowned. "Just nice?" She started to saunter over to him on the bed. "I was hoping you would really like it..." She climbed on the bed to slowly crawl up his body. "I bought it with just you in mind." She bit her lip like she was self-conscious and that threw Sesshomaru off the edge.
He tossed his book over to the side of the room and grabbed Kagome with more force than was necessary and kissed her hard. She giggled when the book made a loud 'thunk' against the hard wood floor.
Kagome brought her arms up around his neck and slowly sat down on his lap as his kisses melted into her. Sesshomaru's growls always calmed her too, the way his chest vibrated with the sound, and sent the vibrations right into her body had the power to calm or excite her.
Once she was thoroughly distracted Sesshomaru quickly flipped her over on the bed, and assaulted her neck with hot kisses. Kagome gasped as his fangs grazed her flesh and pushed her chest up automatically, then huffed as she realized this was the reaction he was trying to get out of her. His hand was waited for her chest and he automatically untied the string between her breasts, and she felt the small bit of fabric covering her chest fall to the side. His hand replaced the black cotton and massaged her breast while his tongue, lips, and teeth made a slow, torturous path from her neck to her other breast.
When Sesshomaru brought his face up to see Kagome's they were both flushed and panting slightly. "Okay Rock Star, you played with me, now you have to suffer the consequences."
Kagome giggled as Sesshomaru threw the blanket over them, and clapped the light out.

The alarm clock went off far too early for Kagome and she groaned when she felt Sesshomaru chuckle once from under her and move his hand from her hair to smacking the clock lightly to turn off the annoying buzzing.
"No don't move I still need my pillow." Kagome yawned. She had sprawled over him after their love session the night before, and had scarcely moved at all while she slept. Sesshomaru stopped moving to get up and humored her for a few minutes, and watched her fall back asleep on his chest.
"Kagome" He purred in her ear. She didn't move. "Kagome..." He licked her ear a little and she smiled slightly in her sleep. He nipped her earlobe and her eyes opened.
"Okay, Okay, you don't have to bite me." She grumbled as she rolled off him to her side of the bed which hadn't been used that night.
"Is this SO necessary that I have to get out of bed for it? Or can I just skip it this time?" She asked.
Sesshomaru rolled over onto his side and rested his head on his fist while his elbow rested on his pillow, and watched her as he spoke. "Kagome, it's the last day of filming for your first music video. You have to go. If you don't, it will never get finished."
"You're my manager; can't you move it to later in the day?" She groaned, covering her eyes with her arm.
He chuckled at her desperate struggles to get a little more sleep. "No, I can't. I would be putting a lot of people out if I did that."
Kagome dropped her arm and furrowed her brow at him. "You never had a problem with that before."
"I know, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do Kagome, now come on, get up." Sesshomaru pulled the blanket off her and she yelped and jumped up.
"Don't do that!" She whined, running into the bathroom and slamming the door.
'At least I got to see her naked again this morning for a few seconds, that's got to count for something.' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he slowly got out of bed himself.
"Do you want eggs this morning?" He called, hearing the shower start running in the next room.
"Sure!" She called cheerfully.
'Apparently I am already forgiven' He thought with a slight smile toward the bathroom door before going downstairs to make them eggs for breakfast.

Kouga showed up at exactly eight AM. Sesshomaru, along with Kouga were Kagome's bodyguards against her crazy fans. The only time they didn't call Kouga to come with them was when they went on dates by themselves, or when Kagome was going out with Sango for some girl time. Otherwise, anything Kagome did either Kouga, Sesshomaru, or both went with her. Even when grocery shopping she needed their constant presence, so Kouga became Sesshomaru and Kagome's good friend. Sango could protect Kagome well enough when the two girls were together, but to big events and going to the studio and things like that, sometimes hundereds of fans would show up, and Kagome needed the two strong men by her side.
"Ready for another day of shooting Kagome?" Kouga asked, letting himself in and walking into the kitchen as Kagome and Sesshomaru finished their breakfast.
"Jeez Kouga, you make it sound like I'm going to face the firing squad." Kagome grouched as she went to the sink to rinse her plate.
Kouga turned to Sesshomaru for an answer and Sesshomaru just raised his eyebrows at him and got up to meet Kagome at the sink with his own plate.
"I'll be right back; I just need to grab my bag from the office." Kagome sighed, and left the room.
"Is she okay?" Kouga asked when he could hear she was all the way up the stairs.
"Yeah, we just had a late night last night and it's too early for her on not enough sleep."
Kouga smirked, knowing exactly what Sesshomaru meant by 'a late night'.
"Maybe you should save those sorts of 'late night' activities for the nights when she doesn't have to get up early the next morning." Kouga stated knowingly, thinking of how Ayame, his wife and mate always acted in the mornings in the same situation.
"It wasn't my fault this time."
"What do you mean it wasn't your fault?"
"She went shopping with Sango yesterday."
"So?"
"She bought sexy underwear. What was I supposed to do?" Sesshomaru growled when Kouga laughed at him. "You know you would do the same if Ayame walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but black sexy underwear so shut up." Sesshomaru smacked the back of Kouga's head to shut him up.
"Okay, let's go." Kagome sighed, walking into the room, bag in hand.

When Kagome, Sesshomaru, and Kouga stepped out of the limousine they were bombarded with screaming fans, flashbulbs, reporters, and the studio crew, all trying to gain Kagome's attention at the same time.
"Kagome! Kagome! Can I have your autograph?" The fans shouted as she passed. Kagome signed a few books but couldn't stop for long because Sesshomaru and Kouga shuffled her along.
Kagome and Sesshomaru paused for pictures together, because the photographers could never get enough of the famous Rock Star and her fiancée.
The reporters were the worst because they kept up a constant stream of personal questions.
"Kagome, did you or did you not sleep with InuYasha Tashio?"
"Kagome, is it true you are no longer in love with Sesshomaru?"
"Kagome, will the affair have an effect on your work at all?"
"Kagome, how long have you been cheating on your fiancée?"
'If I hear my name come out of one of their mouths one more time...' Kagome thought to herself as the studio crew crowded around her to tell her where to go and what to do to start the day.
"I can't handle this Sesshomaru!" Kagome whispered to the man beside her, glaring daggers at the reporters. "I need a vacation!" She sighed as she started heading toward her trailer to get dressed.
<><><><>
After finishing the shooting that day Kagome, Kouga, and Sesshomaru were all invited to a congratulatory party for finishing the video in such a short amount of time. The rest of the crew and the director were there as well.
"So Kagome, how are things?" Her director asked, only now able to really talk to her now that the work was done.
"I'm Okay, I'm just a bit tired of having to ignore all those people asking such rude questions. Sometimes I feel like I just want to turn around and start screaming my answers at them. 'NO! I DID NOT SLEEP WITH INUYASHA! OF COURSE I STILL LOVE SESSHOMARU! THE AFFAIR WON'T HAVE AN EFFECT ON MY WORK BECAUSE THERE IS NO AFFAIR!'" Kagome pretended to yell. "You know what I mean?" She sighed.
"Of course I do." He said, taking a swig of his strong alcoholic drink. "But that's show biz babe."
As soon as Kagome and Sesshomaru left the party early to head home they were surrounded on the sidewalk again. As the annoying questions started again Kagome could feel Sesshomaru getting more and more irritated as the questions got more and more personal.
Kagome decided to do something off the wall. She stopped walking, right in the middle of the mob of people. She reached up, grabbed Sesshomaru's questioning face and pulled him down for a passionate kiss, right in front of everyone. She heard the flashbulbs going crazy, but she kept her eyes closed, focusing only on his lips. When she let him go the crowd was louder, clapping and laughing at her display.
"I hope that clears up any more questions you all have. I love Sesshomaru, and I'm not cheating on him! I wish you would let that ridiculous rumor go, because it isn't true!" She demanded, still holding Sesshomaru's hand.
Suddenly the questions changed direction, now they were asking Sesshomaru whether he was cheating on HER or not.
Sesshomaru shut the door of the limousine just in time for them to figure out that he wouldn't be answering them.
"I can't believe some people would stoop so low." He growled under his breath.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked, taking his hand.
"Yes?" He asked, turning to look at her.
"Come away with me!"
