Chapter Thirteen: No Enemy of Mine
That late morning Sesshoumaru rushed to his office amidst an unexpected downpour of sleet and hail, and despite the sunshine they were graced that same morning at Kagome’s place, the current weather seemed to mirror his mood.
The moment he left Kagome’s presence, his anger had returned, and he felt a sense of immediacy in investigating who had targeted them on his own time.
He knew he could trust his friends at the police, but he could only rely on them so much. Plus, Kikyou’s unexpected appearance in questioning Kagome’s latent holy power spike was too curious to be coincidental. Of all the HMS officers who dealt with spiritual power outbursts, why her?
“Ah, Sesshoumaru, sir! We were not expecting you so early!” His assistant Jaken, a tiny egg-shaped man of 4”11 and kindred descent, rattled toward him with a towel as Sesshoumaru shrugged off the precipitation from his suit.
“Call my appointments today and cancel them,” he ordered gruffly, and Jaken bobbed his head in nervous agreement.
“Understood, sir! You superiors called today and said you could take some time off. Attempted murder is nothing to take lightly,” Jaken replied.
Sesshoumaru stopped and met his eyes, feeling a sense of determination build inside him. “There’s no time to rest either. I must find out who did this,” he said shrugging off his jacket and folding the sleeves of his dress shirt. He loosened his tie a little bit and walked behind his desk to his seat. “Jaken, I need you to get my contact at HMS on the line immediately.”
“What is it, sir? Are the police not cooperating with your case? Perhaps some government favors can be called in...”
“No, the police are adequate and trustworthy for now, but I have a feeling someone else is keeping something from me,” he said, watching as Jaken’s eyes bulged with surprise. “Jaken, I know my enemies, inside and out. This...was not the work of any of them.”
“Then, perhaps a new enemy?” his small assistant guessed, and Sesshoumaru shook his head once. No, he thought. Something else was going on here, and once he talked more to his contact at the HMS, he’d have more of an idea. Until then, he had nothing but instinct and intuition fueling his suspicions.
“No, not an enemy of mine, but of Kagome’s,” he said, as Jaken’s face paled from his words.
