Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at a fic. I want brutally honest reviews. I know a lot of Authors say they won't update if they don't receive any reviews or some shit. Well I am not writing this just for you, it's for me to, so I don't care if you like it or not, but be honest. And if it is worth the effort (it always is) review. Thanx
Rated R for Lang. and some other stuff.
Chapter 1 F U
Kagome sighed as she left her office to walk the dark streets home at midnight. Her boss had conned her into taking on another case on top of her already full workload. She clutched her suitcase as she wondered how she was such a push over when it came to her boss. 'Well for one he is the most handsome man I have ever seen,' she thought smiling to herself. She was so grateful to Sesshomaru for giving her a job right out of collage. Working for a youkia law firm wasn't exactly her dream but beggars can't be choosers. She was so caught up in her thoughts that ran strait into some one.
"Oh, umm…sorry," she looked up into saffron colored eyes.
"Watch were your going wench," the man barked.
Kagome scowled, "I said sorry."
"Yeah, well who are you and why are you walking alone out here," the strange man discreetly sniffed the air around her.
'Oh great,' she thought, 'Youkia.' She backed away a little before saying, "I am Kagome, and I had to work late at Tensaiga law firm and I just live around the corner, I only drive when I'm late," Kagome watched as the man's dog-ears twitched in annoyance. 'They are so cute.' She then noticed the strangers long silvery mane. 'That looks familiar.' "Say do you have a brother," she gestured to his hair, "My boss has hair just like that."
"Yeah, I'm Inuyasha, Sessh is my half brother, the bastered. He probably was the reason you had to stay late. You know, I don't trust this aria. I'll walk you home."
Kagome stared. The Inuyasha, partner and brother to her boss wanted to walk her home. 'This is just too weird.'
"Oi, wench, quit staring and lead the way. I do have places to be ya know," Inuyasha glared at her.
Kagome scowled, "You don't have to be so rude," she brushed past him and headed towards her apartment, "And I don't need your help."
Inuyasha just frowned and watched her go, 'Keh, not my problem.'
That morning Kagome woke with a splitting headache. She groaned as she made her daily coffee fix. Her roommate Sango walked in, took one look at Kagome and said, way too cheerfully, "Hey, work late again."
A muffled grunt was all the reply she got. Sango grinned as she ran a brush through her dark brown hair and started humming 'I've Got A Wonderful Feeling'. "Kami, Sango, shut up," Kagome moaned.
"Hey Kags?"
"What."
"You're late."
Kagome glanced at the clock, shrieked and rushed to throw on her business suit and dashed out the door scowling at the cheerfully waving Sango. Kagome speed to work running countless red lights and dogging pedestrians. She managed to find a parking spot and zipped inside the tall cream colored building. Dashing to the elevator she saw the doors closing, "Hold that elevator!"
A clawed hand caught the doors just in time. "Thanks," She breathed as she smoothed her ebony tresses.
"No problem, Kagome."
Kagome started at the vaguely familiar voice and glanced at Inuyasha.
"So, late, huh wench," he smirked.
"Don't call me wench you arrogant bastered," she was having a ruff morning as it was without being called names. Bosses brother or no.
"You realize I could have you fired," Inuyasha glared at her. Kagome shrugged and pretended not to care. The doors slid open and Kagome stepped off, flipping Inuyasha off as the doors closed. He gave an indignant yell and was gone. Kagome smiled as she walked over to her department overseer feeling that it would not be such a bad day after all. "Hey Miroku, sorry I'm late."
Miroku smiled and kissed her hand, "Quite all right Lady Kagome." Kagome rolled her eyes, Miroku was a pervert and would flirt with anything female that moved. Though she did haft to admit he looked hot in his purple dress shirt and black hair tide in a ponytail at the base of his neck. How he got in management she would never understand.
"So, will Shippo be coming in today," Shippo was a young kitsune who had turned in his own father for the abuse and near murder of his mother.
"Yep," Miroku sighed as he fingered his pen, "poor kid. He will be here around four so you have time to work on the Naraku case."
"Oh, goody," she walked over to her desk and got to work. The Naraku case was a lawsuit in which a woman named Rin was filing a sexual harassment claim against her boss, the shady owner of SpiderBack Inc., Naraku. So far it looked as if Rin was going to get a huge settlement. Especially when Kagome was her lawyer. She could not stand men who harassed women; at least Miroku is harmless.
Kagome was so absorbed in her work she never noticed when Shippo entered her office until she looked up and saw him staring at her. "Ahh," she clutched her heart, "Shippo, don't do that, announce yourself next time." Shippo was snorting into a Coke someone had given him. Kagome playfully glared at the ten-year-old red-haired youkia. "Anyway, down to business," Kagome frowned slightly, "The trial is in two weeks, are you ready to testify against you father."
Shippo's laughter stopped abruptly and looked very determined, "Yes, Miss Kagome."
Kagome clapped him on the shoulder, smiling, "You are very brave, Shippo. Not many kids would have the guts to take such a stand."
"Its not right to hurt people, he should go to jail," Shippo looked down and sniffed, "But he is still my dad. Its like I am betraying him." Tears trickled down his face to splash on the floor.
Kagome gathered him into a hug, "You are doing the right thing Shippo, protecting your mom, I am so proud." She wiped away his tears, "Now, I happen to know that Miroku has a lollipop just for you." Shippo brightened and ran to Miroku who was flirting shamelessly with Sesshomaru's secretary. Kagome smiled as she watched him interrupt Miroku, begging for candy. 'No boy should be forced to testify against his father.' Kagome gathered Shippo's files and dragged him off to the meeting room to discuss the trial.
Shippo left just as lunch rolled around. Kagome snatched her purse and headed to the elevator. As she was waiting a tall blond sauntered in and clipped her as she sped by, turning the women glared, "Watch yourself bitch."
Kagome glared back and hissed, "Look, lady, you bumped into me," she paused and smirked, "Maybe calling you a lady was a mistake seeing as how you aren't one, and by the way, that blond is so fake."
The women snarled and launched herself at Kagome. Shocked, Kagome bore a soled slap before retaliating with one of her own. The cat fight was in full swing when the elevator door slid open and Sesshomaru stepped out. The girls froze as he scowled, "Just what in the hell is going on here."
The crazy woman stood and smoothed her hair, "I was just here to see Inu-baby when this bitch attacked me."
"Fuck you," Kagome spat.
He glanced at Kagome in surprise, he had never herd her swear before. Turning to the woman he said, "I happen to know that Miss Higurashi dose not start fights, Kikyo, but you have been the source of many. Besides you are not aloud anywhere near Inuyasha. Need I remind you of the restraining order."
If looks could kill Sesshomaru would be six feet under, as it was he did not even flinch under Kikyo's glare. She got into the vacant elevator and left.
Kagome looked up and groaned, "I'm fired aren't I."
Good luck comes to those who review.
