Tracking Temptation by Mistress of Deceit

Life's Like a Bottle of Rum...

[Okay I'm sorry I had to repost this due to spelling errors and a slight ...very slight change in the plot.]

Hello people of said fan fiction site. This is my first SessxKag fan fiction, so don't expect a masterpiece right off the bat. I have some good ideas, though, and I will try my best to make this story a success. I've been doing my homework hehe - - -

[Disclaimer:] I do not own Inuyasha...I want to though

[MoD walks up to Rumiko Takahashi:] Can I have it?

[Rumiko:] No

[MoD:] Wahahahaha so cruel!!!

I'd like to thank all my friends for helping me with my atrocious spelling and giving me ideas for my story. [bows]

Thank you all so much.

Please give a big round of applause to Ashley and Kb! [clap]

Oh and no flames please; just "constructive criticism" and comments/ praise. I love that. Oh, and if you are to read my story PLEASE REVIEW. If I do not receive any reviews, I see no point in continuing so it is very important that you review. FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORIES SURVIVAL!! Well with that said...

Sesshoumaru turned the ignition off in the car. The leather squeaked as he turned to get out of his black Jaguar. The air was frigid; the only light that shone through the night was the faint glow of the moon.

'Perfect', he thought. Sesshoumaru directed his attention to the passenger's seat. Walking around the car, he opened the door for his companion.

"Thank you.", a voiced cooed. A pair of small red, strappy shoes swung out of the side of the car. Sesshoumaru bent down to take her hand and out glided Kikyo. A little red dress clung to her bony frame, with 25 cent lip stick plastered on her face. There was no denying the satisfaction in her eyes as she clung to Sesshoumaru's hand.

"Shall we?" Sesshoumaru guided her toward the cabin. They were up north, far from civilization in a secluded rental cottage. Snow clung to the trees that enveloped the cottage giving an icy feel to the place. Bursting through the door, escaping the cold night air, Sesshoumaru made his way over to the fire place.

Kikyo closed the door; the room was suddenly pitch black. Sesshoumaru struck a match. creating a small fire. He fed it more wood allowing it to grow into a large flame.

The light from the fire cascaded off the walls, casting shadows of the two figures.

Kikyo sat on the only bed in the one roomed cottage and spread her arms wide.

"Wow! Is it hot in hear or is it just me?" She asked in an innocent tone, dipping her shoulder just enough to allow her bra strap to slip down her arm. Her intentions were clear. Sesshoumaru turned in disgust, he would have to make this quick.

"I'll get the wine." Sesshoumaru offered, watching her from the corner of his eye. She had let her greasy hair down and was now smiling at him with a sly, crooked tooth grin.

Much to Sesshoumaru's surprise, the cabin already had a bottle of wine in it, God only knows how old it was, not that it really mattered. Using his sharp nails, he popped open the lid rummaged around for two glasses. He found two coffee mugs and decided that they would have to do.

Quickly he glanced over at her to make sure she wasn't watching. She was staring down at her chest now trying to fix, what Sesshoumaru could only imagine were her boobs, if they could be called that. Quietly he slipped the vile from his coat pocket and dumped the contents into one of the drinks. Then he sauntered over, handing her one of the mugs.

"Here." offered Sesshoumaru in a toneless voice.

"Oh Sesshoumaru! You shouldn't have." Kikyo whispered. She leaned close to his ear.

"You should know that around a man like you, I can't be responsible for my actions." She attempted to slide the straps off of her dress, exposing the upper half of her bra.

"Oopsy." She giggled leaning in even closer.

"Why don't we have a drink first?" Sesshoumaru suggested

"Or we could skip to the good stuff." Kikyo puckered her lips. Sesshoumaru was getting frustrated.

"A toast, then." he raised his glass, attempting a smile. Kikyo bought it.

"To us." She said. With that, their glasses clinked and they drank. Kikyo tilted her head back downing it in one shot. Finished, she set it back down on the table and licked her lips.

"Oooh! Yummy!" She ran her hand down the front of his chest. He grabbed it stopping her mid way. She looked at him questioning.

What a stupid girl. Sesshoumaru stood up.

"If you think that I would be seduced by a common slut like you, or any girl for that matter, you are sorely mistaken." His eyes turned cold, masking any emotion.

The girl stood up in shock, she tried to say something but no words came out.

"I...I..." and suddenly she dropped to the floor.

Sesshoumaru curled his lips with sick amusement, pulling his cell phone from his pocket he punched in the numbers.

"I've got her sedated. What do you want me to do with her?"

"Already?!" The voice on the other line sounded somewhat surprised.

"You sure do work fast. Did you at least have some fun with her first?"

Sesshoumaru let out a low growl. The voice on the other end laughed.

"Ha-ha! Don't get your hair all matted, I was just joking. But seriously man it's time to find yourself a girl."

"Not interested. What do you want me to do with the body? I can dispose of it right now." Sesshoumaru used his free hand to pull out a small revolver from the inside of his coat pocket.

"Now, now," the voice on the other line soothed, "let's not do anything rash. There have been too many disappearances lately; it would be too suspicious. Ohhh! I know! She's a drug dealer right? So, just find something on her as proof and hand her over to the Feds. They'll keep her locked tight for a while."

"They'll ask for my name, as a witness." Sesshoumaru replied smartly.

"Then just drop her off and I'll take care of it."

"I can drown her in a river." Sesshoumaru suggested.

"I'll meet you at the police station at 1am...with the body. I'll tell your client. I'm sure he will be pleased." With that he hung up. Sesshoumaru listened to the buzzing for a while before he hung up his phone.

He stared down at the girl, with mixed look of hate and disgust that such a creature could be born into this world. He looked at his watch, bent down, and slung the girl over his shoulder. It was going to be a long night.

Two weeks later

Kagome stared down at the letter, utterly speechless.

"A transfer to teach at a high school?!! No!!" Kagome raised her hands in the air, crying out in defeat. She slumped down on the floor and read the letter one more time.

Dear Miss Higurashi,

We regret to inform you that due to your decision to relocate, the board feels it would be in you best interest to transfer to Kayoubi Secondary School to teach Grade 9 English. We feel you are fully qualified for this position and would like you to take it. They are short staffed and your application would be greatly appreciated. Regardless, whether you take the job or not, we will expect your resignation in two days. Take a few weeks off to adjust before you make your decision. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience. It has been a pleasure working with you.

Sincerely: The School Board of Directors.

"Pleasure my ass!!" Kagome fumed ripping up the paper. Boxes littered her apartment floor. Some already full, other waiting to be labeled and a whole pile of junk (not yet packed) that had been pushed into a corner. She stormed into the bathroom, grabbed a box, and started furiously stuffing it with stuff.

Kagome mumbled to her self, hot with anger.

"Jeeze, short notice much! What did they expect me to do, just go from teaching elementary school to high school just like that?! Ahhhh!" It was true that the high school was just around the corner from where she was moving but it would be so hard to say goodbye to all her students.

As Kagome was silently fuming to herself, she heard her door bell ring.

"One second!!" Kagome hollered from the bathroom. She dashed out making a break for the door. Kagome reached out her hand when her unsuspecting feet were viciously tripped by the evil boxes of doom.

"Ahh!!"

The resounding sound of smack was made from Kagome's face hitting linoleum.

"Auuuuhhh!" Kagome groaned removing her face from the floor, and kicked the box that had got in her way.

The bell rang again.

Kagome got up and yanked open the door.

"What?!" She was not in a good mood.

Well, let me tell you, the poor mail man almost soiled his mailman shorts right then and there.

"Uhh...I'm so...sorry, Miss. There's a package here for you I need you to sign."

"Oh well, why didn't you say so?" Kagome chirped, smiling back at the man.

"So who's it from?" Kagome asked in a girlish tone, signing the paper and yanking the package out of his hands. She started opening the brown wrapping on the box. It was a box of chocolates.

"Ooh!!" Kagome squealed in delight. "I love chocolate!!" The man smiled back at her.

"It's from a man by the name of Koga."

"What?! I told that guy to stay the hell away from me. I am no longer his girl! You tell him that I never want to see him again and if he keeps this up, I'm going to get a second restraining order. One that states you can't send things to your ex-girlfriend!!"

"Ahh!" the man cowered under her gaze "I'm sorry. I'm not a messenger man, I just deliver packages"

"Well then, if you get another package from him, don't send it to me!!" She threw the box of chocolates at him. "It doesn't matter any way. I'm moving!"

"I'm so sorry." The man pleaded with her "It won't happen again!" Kagome marched inside and slammed the door shut. Outside, the man picked up the box of chocolates and started to make his way back down the hall. Kagome leaned against the wall... thinking...thinking...

Making up her mind, she burst through the door and ran down the hall after the guy.

"Wait!" She called out, waving her arms. The man was just about to get in the elevator.

"Stop!"

The man waited as Kagome caught up to him.

She looked at him... then at the box.

"On second thought, I want my chocolates."

Yanking the box out of his hands she sprinted back down the hall. "Thank you! Bye!"

As much as she hated Koga it was a crime to let chocolate go to waste and what kind of person would she be if she let that happen?

Popping a chocolate in her mouth, she surveyed the room and decided to get back to packing once more.

Chukka chukka CHOO CHOO!!

This time it was the phone.

"Ahh! What now?!" Kagome picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Baby!" A familiar voice spoke. Ohh, great just the last person she wanted to hear from.

Birds chirped their love songs high up in the trees, spring time flowers were already in bloom, splashing vibrant colors on the ground. Children ran around screaming up and down the playground. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, shading the walkway.

It was a perfect day at the park, love was in the air, but amidst the frolicking and laughter, something sinister was at work.

An anonymous man stalked over to a group of chatty young women walking down the path. Stealthily, he closed in on his prey. Poking his head around one of the trees just off the path, he gazed, eyes transfixed on the gliding beauties. One of the women looked up and spotted him. He ducked. After a few minutes he poked his head around again. They were farther down the path now.

Not wanting to loose his prey, he dashed to the next tree. Finally, they sat down on one of the benches for a break. This was his chance! Smoothing his hair back, he slipped out from behind the tree and sauntered toward the three chatty women.

"Why hello there." Miroku grinned "And how are you fine ladies today?" The women giggled in response.

"Do you mind if I join you?" He questioned attentively, gazing at them with big puppy eyes. Not being able to resist his evil charms, they slid down and made a spot for him on the bench.

"Sure! We'd love for you to join us." Miroku made no hesitation in sitting down and zipped right over to the empty space by the blond. The blond giggled, batting her eyelashes while Miroku was distracted by the "twins". Miroku leered in what he thought was a suave smile, but in actuality his features expressed that of a constipated monkey.

So, there they were, on the bench, the blond, the brunette, and the red head.

Miroku, finding himself easily bored, decided to formulate his own dastardly plans of entertainment. Unable to grope the bottom of said lovely ladies, Miroku went with the 'sly' approach.

Rubbing his sweaty palms on his pants, he cautiously inched his hand closer and closer to her thigh. Creeping ever closer to his goal, he was suddenly interrupted by a swatting hand, swishing him away.

Deterred, he pouted for a second until the arrival of the redhead – who had left for a bathroom break – put him in the middle. So again he started, cautiously inching his hand closer and closer to the redhead's thigh.

Well, a can of mace stopped that idea.

"Ahh! Pervert!" The three girls shouted in unison. The brunette pulled out her rape whistle from her purse and started blowing furiously. Miroku covered his ears as the piercing cry rang though the park grabbing the attention of several mothers and children nearby. The can of mace was accurately aimed at his eyes and, by gods, that girl sprayed with all her might.

"Ahh! Oh, Buddha! Save me! My eyes!" Miroku screamed in agony.

"Never again will I let this accursed hand manipulate me!" To put the cherry on top, the blonde gave him a good hard whack in the "hot dog stand".

"Auhh!!" Miroku slumped to the ground in misery, giving longing glances to the trio that was fast retreating. The redhead looked back and winked at him, the echoing of 'kukukuku' could be heard as she laughed.

"Don't forget to comment me at www.lovemelongtime.com!" Miroku desperately wailed.

"I also have an account on www.badboyhaven.net and I am always available!! Actually I seem to be available too often..."

A man approached Miroku coming from the opposite direction of the fleeing women.

"Damn hobos! They're everywhere these days." Koga remarked giving him a good kick in the rear.

"What corpse did you get those cloths from?" he sneered. Try to regain what composure he had left, Miroku got up and dusted himself off. Eyes streaming and puffy, he stared back at Koga.

"For your information, I am quite the sophisticated gentleman. I happen to run a very up standing, one of a kind business. Perhaps you will be in need of my services one day." Miroku slipped him a card.

"And you really don't want me to charge you double, now do you?" Koga scrutinized the card with a skeptical eye. It read;

Koga raised an eyebrow and looked at Miroku disbelievingly.

Miroku shrugged in response. "Our advertisement needs work."

"Are you sober?" Asked Koga.

"I swear to drunk I'm not God!" Miroku raised his hands in mock self defense, "I jest I jest! But I am truly a legitimate businessman. You look like a man with girlfriend trouble."

"And what makes you say that?" Koga asked.

"You have a picture of her in your 'Fave Five' under the ring tone 'Sexual Attraction.' I see some sexual tension here." Answered Miroku as he flipped through the stolen cell phone.

Koga looked at him for a second before he realized his cell phone had been stolen.

"Hey! You! That's Mine! All Mine..." Said Koga, whirling around and trying to grab Miroku and his stolen phone.

"Ooh hey! what's this? Touchy, touchy. Here, I'll give it back if you promise to send me that file you have under 'Underskirt Photo's." Miroku skidded to a stop and handed back the cell phone to a disgruntled Koga.

"Yah, well maybe me and my girlfriend do have some issues."

"Such as...?" Miroku inquired. "Such as she puts the word 'ex' before girlfriend and you do not?"

"No!...Maybe...Yes..." Koga ended pitifully, hanging his head in shame and putting his proverbial tail between his legs.

Miroku walked away slowly, glancing back to the downcast Koga.

"Call me if you are...ahem...in need of my services. My numbers in your phone, I got rid of your hairdresser in your 'Fave Five'. You don't need him."

"Mario! No, not Mario! Get rid of my father! Just leave my hairdresser alone!" Koga wailed.

"Oh, and my ring tone is 'Bringin' Sexy Back'."

"Oh good God help me!" moaned Koga.

" Mr. Naraku, please report to the main office."

The female voice floated through the intercom and down the halls of Kayoubi Secondary School.

In the main office, Sesshoumaru was at his desk, fighting off a screaming headache and a horny secretary.

"Please Ms. Kagura, abstain from touching my person." He said, his voice hinting at anger as he swatted away a roaming hand.

"Your services are finished for now, if you would return to your office." Sesshoumaru ordered, pointing to the large wood finished double doors.

"Sesshoumaru, you make it sound like I'm doing something naughty." Ms. Kagura replied as she flicked away a piece of hair straying into her eyes.

Sesshoumaru glared at her as she giggled and retreated towards the door.

"This Sesshoumaru would never insinuate such a thing. At least not with someone like you. Now get out." Again he pointed to the office doors in a commanding tone. Kagura complied with a pouting look.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples and removed his reading glasses.

Sesshoumaru stood out from behind his wooden Superintendent's desk. His chocolate brown hair glinted softly in the sunlight that streamed in from the window behind him. He tightened his red tie that contrasted with his sharp black Armani suit.

A knock at the door announced the arrival of Mr. Naraku.

"Come in." Sesshoumaru sighed, sitting behind his desk once more.

Naraku slunk in quietly, shutting the door behind him and sitting himself across the desk from Sesshoumaru.

"You called, Master?" Naraku mocked in a seething voice.

Sesshoumaru glared at Naraku and flicked off imaginary lint from his shoulder.

"We finally agree on something." Sesshoumaru replied in a dry tone, "But on to more...serious business"

Sesshoumaru paused again before continuing.

"There have been complaints from the females from your academic teachings. If you do not refrain from assaulting your students I will have to kill you."

"And which students have made these accusations?" Naraku asked, putting on a mock interested face as he propped his elbows on the desk.

Sesshoumaru leaned away from the stench of Naraku's cologne and closed his eyes in annoyance.

"You are trying my patience, Mr. Naraku. Your employment is at risk, and your hidden sexual assault record is one complaint away from being exposed. Now, do you have anything to say?"

"No, Master. Your dog will remain obedient if only you give it a cookie here and there." Naraku sneered.

Sesshoumaru snapped – literally he snapped his fingers.

"That's it. Your teaching license is revoked as of tomorrow. Resign from your classes and I will decide when you can have your license reinstated, now leave my office, you pitiful creature, you reek of failure."

Naraku slumped away without as much as a word. Sesshoumaru leaned over and pressed the intercom button, speaking into it as non-scary as he could manage at the moment.

"Could Miss Sarah Asa please report to the main office." Sesshoumaru paused for a second, waiting on a reply.

None came so, frustrated, Sesshoumaru tried again.

"Miss Asa of homeroom 1-B, please report to the main office. Now."

The static filled reply came from a child – not what Sesshoumaru expected.

"Miss Asa isn't here right now." Came the child's voice through the intercom.

"Well, where did she go?" asked Sesshoumaru tersely.

"Umm..." a pause and a whispered conference could be heard in the background. "She ran away and hid when she got the message."

"I am surrounded by imbeciles..." Sesshoumaru muttered before pressing the intercom button once more.

"Miss Asa...I know you are hiding. Come out. Now. Before I have to come find you." Sesshoumaru growled.

A few seconds later and the desperate flurry of heels on wood could be heard along with the frantic crazy chant of 'he's going to kill me! Oh my god! He's going to kill me'.

The door burst open with a disgruntled yell from Ms. Kagura.

"I'm here! I'm here Mr. Taisho pl - " Miss Asa was interrupted by Sesshoumaru as he stayed sitting at his luxurious high backed roller chair.

"No need to sit down. You're fired, end of discussion. I have your replacement coming here in an hour. Goodbye, Miss Asa."

Miss Asa stuttered as she looked on in a daze.

"But...but..."

Sesshoumaru squashed the unending urge to reply 'ass' and instead pointed to the door for the umpteenth time that day

"End of discussion."

She shook her head and gave a dejected sigh. As she slid through the door, Sesshoumaru's keen ears picked up the slight murmur of 'At least he didn't kill me...'

Sesshoumaru went back to his ever-growing pile of paper work. This was going to be a long, long day.

Kagome bustled through the busy streets of Tokyo, fighting through the crowds with an iron fist, until finally she met the doors to the school. It was a good thing she had called ahead.

"Oh thank God!" She sighed as she slumped against the inside of the closed door. It had taken her ages to get her out of her house, and all for this one, stupid little piece of crumpled up, slightly coffee stained paper.

"Damn you, you evil application. You've been plotting against me haven't you?" Kagome asked.

"Oh no! Now it has me talking to myself...ughh bad day!"

Slowly, Kagome walked through the halls until she was met with large double doors with the sign 'Main Office' on its front.

"Must be the place..." Kagome murmured. She walked in and saw a red-eyed, black haired lady sitting at a desk going through some files.

"Umm. Excuse me, Miss? I'm here to see Mr. Sesshoumaru Taisho..."

[Note:] If any one is wondering why Sesshoumaru's hair is brown and not silver I'll get to that in the next chapter so look for my update soon.

Yes, we are done, and by 'we' I mean me and my beta! Hehehe! Well, I've given enough for you people to chew on for a while.
