Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with Inuyasha and co. it was by Rumiko Takahashi.
Her black pumps clicked on the fresh waxed floors. Connected to her feet were sheer nude stockings going up her legs. The new high waist-ed pencil skirt, she had brought the week before, was showing off her assets perfectly and her multi colored halter was settled beneath her breast, making her look more mature. She walked towards the security at the base of the escalators and slid her card to head on.
Kagome had her hair up in a pony tail with tight curls following it. Her bangs covered her forehead and she looked like an upper level member of the building. She was not. Her building was the business building and to the right of it was a smaller; three story building, attached to it. And to that building right, there was another connected as big as the building she worked in.
Her building classified people by the floor they worked on. The higher most floors; floors 23-26 were the law firm everyone in New York heard of.
Kagome froze when she heard her phone ringing. She reached in her bight blue coach bag (it matched the blue on her shirt) and answered her pink razor. "Where are you? The meeting is about to begin and the head of "heath and beauty" is not present!"
"I'm coming; I'm still down stairs though." Kagome told her best friend. "Well, could you pick up the pace? You're slower then your grandfather!" and a click was heard. Kagome grumbled about annoying friends and started towards the elevators in a faster motion.
The man in the elevator tip his hat to her and immediately pressed 24. She rolled her eyes. "Excuse me, I'm on level 16. Please don't assume." She walked farther into the elevator. "I am terribly sorry."
"It's okay, you're new." She turned and looked out the glass. She was staring into the other building. Both buildings were made of mostly windows from the tenth floor and up stopping at floor 20, after that, one could no longer see into or out of the buildings. Well every one can see into the lobby though. In her building, floors 19 to 22 there was a major match making service and wedding planning business, they were also well known. The floors 15 to 18 it was "New Chic" magazine. "New Chic" was the number one magazine for the past five years. Kagome has been working at that magazine for five and a half.
"New Chic" was a franchise, they sold make up to clothing; they owned restaurants to boutiques and they were well known for their twenty-four our shopping network. "New
Chic" was the place to work at, at the moment.
Kagome was head of "Health and Beauty". She determined what would be in that segment in the magazine, be it pictures, articles or advertisement. It was well known that Kagome had the least open pores then anyone at the magazine.
The elevator 'dinged' and the man motioned out of the elevator with his arm. She nodded at him and walked out placing a dollar in the small jar label tips near him. "Good morning beautiful!" Kagome smiled and walked towards Sango. The lobby she was in was white with framed pictures of the magazines covers for the past five years. The entire floor was covered with them.
"Let's go!" Sango pulled Kagome's arm and they headed towards the conference room. There, there was a long oblong table with plushy computer chairs surrounding it. Each chair but one was filled. There were people standing along the windows (pointed towards the Magazine's office) and there were many sitting on the counters which lay parallel to the wall directly across the editor and chief's chair… Sango.
"Good, now that we are all here we may begin."

"You look so fiery today, what's the big occasion?" Sango took a sip of her coffee. Kagome poured cream into her own before turning to face Sango, who was sitting at a small round table in the middle of the coffee room. "Well, Sango, I'm pretty sure I always dress like this. Now, why are you dressed so purple today?" Kagome asked back. She then opened a packet of sugar and poured that in.
"I do believe I've got a date later today." Sango told her with a smile adorned her face. Her dress was a tight strapless dress which ended at her knees. A big, flat buckled belt was around her stomach and she had on her favorite black peep-toe covered platform pumps with the purple trim and heel. Her hair was actually straightened with a sharp cut. Her bangs were on point and the ends were completely together. Kagome tilted her head to a slight right, "Oh-my-gosh! Miroku!" Kagome smiled and Sango nodded and nodded and her bangs were jumping and she was smiling and she just looked so darn happy. "I knew something good was going to happen, I had a dream and you and Miroku were married!"
"Really, do you really think he's going to purpose tonight?" Sango had jumped from her seat and was heading over to Kagome. Kagome nodded.
"YES!" Kagome laughed as Sango began to dance around and did the hokey pokey. "What else did you dream about?"
"Tsh, nothing important," Sango stared at her for a moment longer before her excitement came even harder. "That guy better purpose today. How's my makeup?"
"It's great!" Kagome assured her and sipped her coffee. Sango ran out with happiness bleeding out. Kagome simply followed her with her eyes until Sango disappeared behind the corner.
Kagome headed out to her office. It was small but clean and it suited her just fine. There was her desk to the left and in front of it was a long couch along the wall. To the left of her desk was a window that let her see all of Fifth Avenue. The running ants and stores going left and right: Bergdorf Goodman, Bergdorf Men's, Brooks Brothers, Bulgari, Cartier, Disney Store, Fendi, Ferragamo Women's, Fortunoff, Gucci, H. Stern, Harry Winston, Henri Bendel, Kenneth Cole, Louis Vuitton, NBA Store, Prada, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, Takashimaya, Tiffany & Co., Trump Tower, Van Cleef & Arpels, Versace, and so much others. Kagome sighed and lowered her cup on to her desk. She slipped her shoes off and slid her feet into the slippers she always had in her office. She headed to the shelf, which ran along the wall behind her desk, and pulled a thick binder out. She looked for a pink tag sticking out before opening it and arriving at a page with a beautiful child's face. She smiled at the little girl. She had great big brown eyes and lustful black hair. The child's smile was large could have cracked her face if the girls face wasn't so soft and chubby.
Kagome looked up from the picture and moved to her desk for a seat. "Kagome, you've got a guest!" Kagome smiled and looked at the time. "I'm free." She laid the binder down and watched as her door open. "Kagome…" She stood from her seat and a little boy came running to her "Hey Shippo! You've gotten so big! Oo, you're a big boy now, huh?" She let the boy down and kneeled to be at his level. He smiled at her and nodded. "Grandma told me you were going to say that!"
"Is grandma here now?" Shippo shook his head. His orange pony tail swung back and forth. Kagome's smile faltered a bit but it went right back up, "how about we go to lunch!"

After lunch the two had gone to see the new movie "Bolt". She was back at the office working on the design for the spread they were planning on having on a new "New Chic" cover up which not only made pimples resemble your skin color but look smaller as well. Shippo was doing his homework. He was only in second grade so he was working on ELA by reading and working on his spelling.
Kagome had adopted him two years ago. He still hadn't taken to calling her mom or even mother but she didn't mind, she just enjoyed seeing him happy. At the orphanage, many had picked on him because he didn't have a family. As a fox demon, to not have a pack was looked down upon, he was a loner. Even the human children knew that and shunned him. Kagome quickly fell in love with him when she did community service at the church he was taking classes in.
With a brown blob of color on the top right corner, Kagome was done. She saved it on her computer, everything else she knew how save it on (CD, disk etc). She then e-mailed it to Sango, the head of design, a woman named Jasmine, than she printed three copies.
"Hey, Kagome, how come I don't see Rin anymore?" Kagome looked up from the printer and looked at Shippo's questioning eyes. "Didn't you hear, Shippo? Rin was adopted."
"Huh, really, so how come I never see her?" Kagome's eyes twitched. She did not want to go on, on this subject. Rin was another child she had fallen in love with the day she met Shippo. Because she was not married they did not see Kagome fit to take care of two children and denied her request to adopt Rin.
Kagome made sure Shippo and Rin were close because she was sure she was going to adopt the little girl. Three months ago, Kagome went to the church to hear Rin was adopted by this wealthy man who needed companionship, couldn't he get a dog?
"Well, Shippo, Rin's new parents doesn't know us and they decide where Rin goes, we just never get to see where she does go." Kagome thought over what she said, it didn't make much sense but she had hoped Shippo would just take that answer and move on. Of course he did not.
"I don't get it, why doesn't Rin just tell them that she wants to see us." Shippo stood up from his place and stared at Kagome. "Well, maybe they live super far away and she can't reach us."
"I bet she doesn't want to see us! Now that she's adopted, she doesn't want to see us anymore!"
"Oh, Shippo that's not true," Kagome left her work and went to Shippo to console him. He was now crying and losing his breath. "Shippo, Rin loves us just like we love her; she just can't see us anymore. I'll by you ice cream and we'll head home, so cheer up." Shippo tried to catch his breath and nodded. "Alright, pack up." She headed to the printer to grab the papers. Before heading off she left a copy with Sango and jasmine and placed the last on the bulletin board in the office of "New Chic".

"Hey!" Kagome said laughing. Shippo had taken a spoonful of her chocolate cream cone. Shippo grinned continued on spooning her chocolate. "Well, why did you order the cherry if you were just going to do this?" she asked him and took his ice cream for her self. "Kagome!" Shocked Kagome turned around to see who called her. In a second a little girl came running to her. With an oof she grabbed hold of the young girl. "RIN!" Shippo shouted and tried to hug Rin while she was still attached to Kagome. "Mr. Sesshomaru, this is the lady Rin was talking about. Rin thought Kagome was going to be her new mommy but then Mr. Sesshomaru got me instead."
"Rin I missed you much! You were gone!"
"Rin was with Mr. Sesshomaru, Shippo, and you were with Kagome!" The two children embraced while still awkwardly sitting on Kagome. She slid them off and stood from her seat and stood. There was Sir handsome in front of her. "It's nice to see you again Sesshomaru."
The man stood before her with a yummy pink, button down with a pair of white pants. The sleeves of his top were rolled to his elbow his shoes and belt were a matching off white color then there was his hair. No- no- no wait, and then there was his eyes… no his lips, maybe his markings. What ever it was, Kagome was melting in her pumps. "Kagome, what a surprise." Huh, not 'pleasant surprise'? Just what a surprise? "You've adopted? I would have never guessed it."
"My father was shocked when he heard to."
"What about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked motioning him to take a seat. "I doubt the boy even knows. I can't stay. We just came to get some ice cream and leave." Kagome nodded but they stayed standing. "Shippo, Rin has to leave now."
"What? No, I missed her!" He whined.
"I'm sorry but Rin's new father wants to leave so she's leaving too." Shippo pouted. "Fix your face sweetie or I'll do it for you." Shippo immediately looked away. "Shippo, it's okay I'll see you next time." Shippo quickly turned back to Rin to reply, "really!" then looked up to Kagome, "Is she really?"
"I don't know Shippo but how about I give Rin our number so she can call anytime she wants." The shouted hooray and Kagome gave Rin the number on a piece of paper, of course Rin made a song out of it so she remembered it and Shippo began singing as well and Kagome was pretty sure everyone at the store knew her home number now. "I guess you should get your ice cream now." Kagome told Sesshomaru who was smirking at the kids' song. "Rin doesn't want ice cream anymore. Rin wants to stay with Kagome and Shippo! Mr. Sesshomaru can I! Can I stay with them?" Rin ran to Sesshomaru with her doe eyes. Sesshomaru looked at the silver watch… Rolex before shaking his head.
"It's time for your piano lessons." Rin frowned. "How about we walk you out Rin?" Kagome offered. Kagome grabbed her Shippo's bags. Rin ran to Kagome and Shippo to grab hold of their hands. They began to walk towards the door and Sesshomaru followed close behind.
Apparently not only was sir handsome well sexy, he was rich too there was a black sleek looking car. Kagome stared at it wide eyed. It was the new 2009 Acura RL. There was a man at the opened back door "I see you in the young mistress are back early." Sesshomaru nodded to the man and went into the car.
"I'm going to call you every day. Rin will always think Kagome is like a mommy to me!" Kagome smiled at her before giving her a hug that could had cut off her air supply if she did live off the love the hug held. Shippo embraced her after and Rin disappeared into the car after wards. The man shut the door and Rin face was soon pressed up against the window, waving back at them. Kagome and Shippo waved and the car was off into the afternoon traffic.
"Let's go home." Kagome heard her phone ring and pulled it out of her purse. "Where are you?!" Kagome rolled her eyes, "I'm out"
"Well your design was great we love it. You'll have a lot a work to do this week; so get your butt in the office."
"Sorry Shippo but I have more work to do. We're going back to the office." Shippo nodded and began walking to the bus stop. Kagome followed close behind.

"How about having earth colors to sort of represent being natural?" Kagome offered to Jasmine. Jasmine was a fire demoness with a wild mind, because her thoughts run through her head a 10thoughts per second, her powers were always active so she focused it on her hair. Her hair was flames. Her natural hair is brown but because of her overly active mind its fire; when she's calm, it's low and seems brown but when she's really angry it's a fiery blue.
"That's a great idea; how about we make the skin resemble mountains on one side and the other smooth but the same color?" Kagome and the head of designs had been at this for an hour now, circling this and that on the layout sheet Kagome had printed out earlier. Shippo went out with Sango to who knows what.
"How about we take a break?" Kagome nodded and they left Jasmine's office. Kagome took her bag and headed to the elevator. She saw the man again and nodded to him. "Lobby?"
"Yep, thanks."
"Hold it!" someone shouted. Kagome looked up and saw Sesshomaru. Her heart froze. What is he doing here? "What floor sir?" The man asked Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru had also been staring at Kagome and that question pulled him out of his musings. "26"
Floor 26?! Does he not notice he's like ten floors directly lower?? "Ah, Kagome, I did not you worked in this building."
"I didn't know you did either." The elevator went up in silence, until a growl startled every one. The man and Sesshomaru looked at her. Kagome looked down to her stomach and cursed her hunger. "Floor three." Kagome looked up to Sesshomaru. "I'll treat you to dinner."
Floor three was a restaurant for all three buildings it was on the top of the building in the middle. "You don't have to do that."
"I want to," Kagome stared at his eyes and did a slow nod. "I'm not that hungry, but okay." Her stomach growled again and Sesshomaru smirked. She turned and stared at the elevator doors. They opened and a bunch of rich looking lawyers and clients came into the elevator pushing her into Sesshomaru. He didn't even move. The elevator went all the way to the lobby first and let the lawyers out. It then went to the third floor and off to dinner Sesshomaru and Kagome went.

I started this then I ignored it. It was going to become a story
Summery: Kagome's life is pretty normal and unexciting. She loves her work and she loves her Shippo but her heart is really big so there is always space for someone, too bad a person she loves doesn't want to love her back
But I changed my mind. Grr I don't know what this will become
