Chapter 1

The highway seemed to be going in all directions. So many ramps, exit lanes, loops, speed limit changes in a stretch of 3 miles of a major construction zone. As she approached the up coming mix master she only hoped she was going in the correct direction. She drove like a maniac zipping in and out of lanes trying to figure out which lanes were forcing cars onto different highways. The fork in the highway through her off and she was so turned around she ended up going into the airport at some point. Good thing she left two hours early. Today was not a good day to be late. Stupid I phone! Why aren't you connecting? She cursed as she attempted not to get lost in the hectic traffic and construction.

Today was the day that her whole life would truly begin. It was two months before her college graduation and she was one of the lucky graduates still looking for a job. Months of endless phone calls, emailing resumes, and even a couple visits to a career councilor to make sure that after graduation she could quit her job at the local restaurant and find a job that would move her career forward. The fruitlessness of the past few months of no results were catching up to her. She was starting to lose hope and worry about how to start paying off student loans when something amazing happened.

About a week ago she got the chance of a life time, a call inviting her to come for an interview at Shikon Resort and Club. The most prestigious luxury resort company in the world had been represented at a recent job fair that she attended and gave her resume to the company HR representative not believing she had a shot with the major corporation. This was her chance to finally make her mark in the world. All of the long hours spent in the library huddled over books and typing papers well into the weekends were about to pay off. Everything she worked for in school boiled down to this moment. Now she was of course running late to the biggest interview of her life and she cursed at the sky once more.

Finally after a half hour she slowly pulled her truck up to the entrance gate of the resort. The golf courses wrapped around the three tall towers of brick. The iron gates were surrounded by beautiful flowers and large trees looming around the sidewalks to provide much needed shade from the hot Texas sun. Driving slowly to the entrance she admired the fancy cars being pulled around by valet. She rolled down her window to greet the booth attendant and put her car into park. Immediately she looked to her left and noticed the booth attendant leaning out of his window casually checking her out. Atop of his head two silver dog ears twitched and she noticed his flowing silver hair. He had an athletic build his upper arm muscles bulging out of his blue checkered rolled up sleeves. Golden eyes watched her blush and look down at her steering wheel of her little truck.

"Hello what can I do for you today?" he smirked playfully at her, clearly enjoying the fact that he caught her checking him out.

She cleared her throat trying to get herself together, "Hello my name is Kagome Higurashi I have an interview with Kaguya in HR". She couldn't take her eyes off the wheel in fear of him seeing her rosy cheeks.

Behind him you could hear a loud crackle of radio requesting him to answer. As he turned back around in the booth to turn down the radio Kagome got a nice view of his rear. Even through the slacks she could tell he was chiseled everywhere. The handsome guard faced her again and her eyes stared straight at his. "Do you know where you are going wench?"

His gruffness caught her off guard and she gave him a pointed looked a replied politely that she did not. She had learned from her professors that she must be nice to everyone no matter what they did or said because they could be testing to see how you do under pressure. Put your game face on and hopefully after you land this interview you won't ever have to see his jerk face again. Her fingers started to nervously drum on her steering wheel out of frustration.

"Take the first right turn here and then continue down the hill. Park in the first floor of the garage and then go straight towards the resort. Take the path behind the building next to the big golf tournament signs and then take a left at the loading dock. Walk in and go to your right and then the HR office will be the first door. You got that entire princess?"

Kagome stared at him blankly. Wishing she had written all of those directions down. I do not want to ask the jerk to repeat everything I will figure it out on my own.

"Gotcha! Thank you and have a nice day!" She sped off down the hill and parked into the garage. He smirked as she pulled away from the booth. She was a spitfire behind the polite smile he saw her warm chocolate brown eyes squint a bit in sarcasm as she said "Gotcha". He hoped they hired her he wanted to see more of her around.

She found her way to the HR office with the help of two gentlemen who escorted her right to the door. After thanking them she took a deep breath and went inside the office with a big smile on her face. She fiddled with the black suit jacket and brushed off a piece of lint as she walked to the desk. I am not going to let that guy get to me when I have more important things to worry about. Here it goes.

After an hour in the HR office speaking with Kaguya, they wanted her to speak to the Cabana Manager. Kagome took this as a good sign. If the decided to give her an internship that is where they would place her. It made sense that they wanted her to talk with the manager who would be in charge of her internship. They explained the requirements of 5 days of work a week, one day of those would rotate to different departments and learn more about the resort. They asked her about her life, school, her service reputation, and recommendation letters from professors or employees. Kagome answered all the questions thoughtfully and with a smile. Radiating confidence when her insides felt like jelly. She hoped that all the examples of excellent service and her resume would shine above the rest. Her competition were mostly universities in areas with little or no major hospitality companies so they probably wont have as much work experience as she did.

Many hours later Kagome arrived at her apartment. It was a welcome sight after spending the rest of the afternoon running errands and trying to keep her mind off of every second of the interview. No use worrying about it. What's done is done and I get it great but if not then… Well she didn't want to think about not getting it. She would have to keep her job at a failing restaurant with her scary awful boss and move back into her mom's house. Keeping her head held high she got out of the truck and walked into the brown wooden gate of her front porch. It was a small two story apartment that she shared with two roommates Sango and Rin in her college town only 20 minutes from the resort. Soon they would all have new lives after the summer but for now they enjoyed their times together. As she walked up to the light green door and unlocked the 3 locks from top to bottom and knocked twice just in case Miroku and Sango were having some fun on the couch again. She opened the door and saw Rin twirling her dark hair through her perfectly manicured fingers and sitting in her big purple chair highlighting one of her big fashion books.

"Have a good day at work? I didn't see your car in the resort lot." Kagome asked setting her purse on the hook by the fire place and plopping down on the long blue couch. Rin was working part time at the resort as a spa attendant for some extra cash to pay for things that her scholarship wouldn't cover. Grabbing the remote off the table and turning the TV on to FRIENDS. It was their nightly ritual ever since they moved in. Usually Sango joined them but lately she seemed to be busy with Miroku and stayed at his place more often the apartment. She would highlight her fashion books and study her chapters for her beauty school summer class and Kagome would relax on the couch for one full episode of their favorite show before cooking them both something relatively healthy for dinner. Kagome does all the cooking since Sango banned Rin from the kitchen after setting the toaster on fire trying to make a pop tart.

"I had Kanna take my shift I have a huge test tomorrow over how to cut bangs and another essay due tomorrow on the history of plaid." Rin made a silly face when she said plaid knowing Kagome hated plaid on most everyone. "Do you think I could practice cutting your bangs later?" Rin smiled sweetly at her. Kagome sighed.

Rin decided not to push it because Kagome seemed out of sorts. She only hoped the interview went well so she could get out from under the thumb of her tyrannical boss. "How was your big interview today?"

Kagome flipped the volume to mute and pressed pause on the TV. Kagome had been wondering that for the past couple of hours. How did she do? She felt confident that she did her best she could and hoped they would call her soon. There was a big part of her that doubted that she got the job because the company could hire whoever they wanted and they hired only the best people. The Shikon Resort catered to the rich and famous, only the best people could handle the expectations over their clientele.

"It was good and hopefully they will…." Kagome was interrupted by her I phone vibrating against the coffee table. She looked at the screen and answered the phone with a nervous "Hello…" Rin sat up and closed her booked listening intently as she heard a chorus of "yes, uh huh, yes, uh huh, thank you".

Kagome sat silent for a second as she hung up the phone and she finally looked at Rin. "I got the job!"
