Loving You is so Easy

Chapter One
'Oh god, oh god, I'm late, I'm late!' Sprinting hard down the side walk she leaped over the hood of a car as she sped across the intersection. Two blocks from work still and she was already ten minutes late for a meeting with her superior, Sesaki-sama.
"I am sooo fired." She mumbled to herself as she dodged the pedestrians who crowded the sidewalks. Spinning, her long dark brown hair shinning as the sun caught on the curly tresses. "Sorry, excuse me, sorry, pardon me!" She panted as she shoved against people she couldn't completely avoid in her head on rush.
"Eeeek!" She shrieked as she tripped over something small. Her adrenaline rushing like rapids through her ears her eyes focused on what had tripped her up as she was falling forwards. Quicker then gravity could pull her down she grabbed hold of the little street kid as he too was falling to the cement. Twisting in the air she pulled his little body flush against her own just as her back smacked hard against the ground. Her head bounced once off the hard surface and the shock of the pain nearly enveloped her into darkness. Groaning she looked down at the struggling little form still held close to her.
"Let go of me woman, geeez what's your beef anyways." The mop of red hair ripped itself off of her as she struggled to her feet as well.
"I'm sorry! Are you ok, I didn't mean to, I was just.." Her explanation was cut short as her mind once more righted itself. "AHhhh." She cried as she bit her lip spinning on the spot she once more took off at full sprint. "I'm sorrrry!" She called out to the little boy as she disappeared into the crowded streets of New York. 'I am so dead!
Breathing deeply she worked hard to calm her flushed and pumping adrenalin flooded system. Laying her hand on the cherry stained heavy door before her she closed her eyes and slowly drew in a long full breath through her nose, held it for a moment and then released it with measured ease through her puckered lips. Then shaking her head slightly and wiggled her shoulders to ease some of the tension she knocked gently upon the door and waited.
"Come in." The low steady tones of her boss resounded through the door.
Swallowing she pushed the door open and came to stand before Sesakis' desk. "You're late again, Higgurashi, this is the fifth time in two weeks. "
"I'm sorry Sesaki-sama. I do try to get here on time. It's just that my history class ends every tuesday and thursday at four-thirty and I that leaves me only thirty minutes to get from one side of New York to the other. It was never a problem before as I had my bike, but it was stolen from out front a few weeks ago and I have been forced to use other methods of getting here. Mainly my feet."
"Higurashi, Kagome. Do you mean to tell me that every tuesday and thursday for the past two and a half weeks that you have been running from one end of central New York to the other to get here on time, rather than coming to me to talk about your problem?" his nostrils flared slightly with his irritation. "It never ceases to amaze me, no, you never cease to amaze me at how air headed someone so obviously intelligent can be at times." His intent gaze focused on her and refused to let her go.
Her mouth opened slightly as she felt herself blush and flush all at once. "Uh, I" Her dark chocolate brown eyes looked at him, her uncertainty and confusion gleaming within her gaze. "Uh, yes, Sesaki-sama. I guess that is exactly what I have been doing." She fumbled mentally for something with more substance to say but could come up with nothing more.
His head lowered to his desk as he reached and shuffled his papers around, peeking under various things in search of something. Not seeing what it was he was looking for he turned in his seat and opened drawers, muttering to himself as she continued to stand before him unsure of what she was supposed to do. Was she dismissed? Should she go?
Rubbing her hands upon her jeans she was about to turn when he came up with a plastic card within his hand. "Ah, here we go." He held it out for her to take.
She looked at it and quirked her eyebrow slightly. "A Visa, Sesaki-sama?" Taking ahold of it she glanced from it back to her boss.
"Hai, Higurashi-san." He nodded at her and the card. "You take that and go get yourself a new bike, be sure to keep the receipt to give back to me." Seeing her beginning to shake her head, he stopped her with a hand help up for silence. "Be assured that it will be a company expense, the bike will be the sole property of Feudal Histories, inc. However, seeing as you have no acceptable form of transportation it will be placed within your care for the term of your employment.
Kagome could feel that her mouth was hanging open slightly and slowly closed it. "I don't know what to say Seskai-sama other than thank you very much for your understanding." She flashed a dazzling smile for her boss and turned towards the door, excited to be off shopping for a new bike. Even if it was not really hers.
"Higurashi." He called after her. Turning at the door she looked back at him. "Don't bother coming back after you find a proper bike, take the evening off. I'll be calling you tonight with a few matters that I have to discuss with you." Seeing her nod he dismissed her with a flick of his hand as he turned once to his papers. A small smirk lighting his features as he listened to her girlish giggled from down the hall.
At first he had had reservations about hiring the young college student. Her back ground was not the best he had seen, far from it in fact. She had graduated almost a full two years behind her classmates from high school and had jumped right into college. That was the only reason he had hired her in fact.
Though she had had poor grades across the board when it came to her studies, somewhere along the line she had acquired an immense foundation of knowledge when it came to the feudal era. It seemed as though she knew more than most professors on the subject and so she had earned herself a scholarship to second year studies to multiple universities, some of them here in america.
He assumed of course that her knowledge for the most part probably came form her upbringing on a shrine. Whatever the source of her knowledge he had hired her because of it, first as a door clerk then as a tour guide for the museum and just a few short weeks ago he had raised her up to the position of his personal assistant. A position that came with a considerable pay raise and perks, such as work travel with him along with invitations to various high class parties or celebrations.
Though he had yet to have her escort him out in public he felt sure that she would do fine after the first few times. At least he hoped she would do fine. With her tardiness over the past few weeks he had begun to doubt himself with his decisions regarding her, now though, his faith in her seemed to be restored.
Fingering the pale yellow invitation and reading the high gloss lettering he sighed heavily. It was an invitation to the yearly banquet held in honor for the feudal museum by the Takahashi family. One of the most prestigious families in all of Japan.
