Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha :p
Summary: Kagome fills in for an interview and gets to know the cold hearted Sesshomaru Takahashi, once the two get closer, they dislike each other greatly, when Kagoe secretly goes to a masquerade party, in disguise as a wealthy business woman, her and Sesshomaru re meet under different circumstances and he is now determined to find his beauty under the mask. How will he take to finding out it has been his enemy all along?
Got the idea from 50 Shades of Grey. I mean, minus the whole BDSM shit, it is soo sweet the way he tries to please her but cant because he is scared to love. I honestly could not decide to be pissed or in love with the ending because of how it left on a bad note...*sigh*
So it will start out extremely similar to 50SOG, but it will slowly drift toward it's own thing so I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter One- First Meeting
Kagome sighed as she put her hair in a tight ponytail and rechecked her clothing choice for the fourth time in the past ten minutes. Since her roommate, Sango, is sick, Kagome was forced to take her place and go to interview the most wealthiest, powerful, and coldest man in all of Japan. Sesshomaru Takahashi.
"Danks for dis, 'Gome." A stuffy Sango said from the couch with a bowl of chicken noodle soup in her hand. Kagome rolled her eyes and picked up the recorder she was using and a notebook with questions Sango already printed out for her to ask.
"Love you too. Major brownie points for this. FYI!" Kagome teased as she grabbed her purse, car keys, and phone before leaving, the book and recorder tucked safely in her purse.
Kagome was one for old cars and had a classic 1971 Porsche 911S and treated it as if it were her baby, but since it was such an old car, it was in desperate need of TLC and parts which Kagome did not have at the moment so she settled on taking Sango's blue BMW 730. She enjoyed the new features her car had, but liked her old car better. She plugged in her music and listened to it as she drove to the center of Tokyo, where her interview awaits her.
When she pulled up the front of the building, her worries came running into her, and she could feel her breakfast churning over in her stomach.
"Just an interview, Kagome, you can do this." She chanted to herself as she pushed the front doors open and stepped inside. A tall sophisticated woman with a formal skirt and blouse nodded at her, explaining that all who have appointments with Mr. Takahashi were to take the elevator to the 25 floor. The highest one.
When Kagome reached that floor, another front desk was there with another woman there to greet her.
"I am here on behalf of Shikon University. I hav-" "Please take a seat over there." The woman rudely cut her off as she took the earpiece away from her face for just enough time to silently judge kagome's fashion choice and glare at her before getting engrossed in another conversation about god knows what. Kagome mentally scoffed. Everyone here looked to all be PMSing and all mildly bitchy.
"Mr. Takahashi will see you now." A woman with black hair an brown eyes said. Kagome nodded and stood up, awkwardly fixing her floral skirt and followed the woman out around the corner.
"Just through here," she said, signalling to two large double doors which were both tinted glass so you could not see in, and rimmed with stainless steel.
"Thanks, Kagome muttered, pushing on the doors and walking in.
"Mr. Takahashi?" Kagome asked, walking into the spacious room and noticing him standing behind his desk, looking at a computer screen.
"I have ten minutes, Miss Taija, do not test me nor waste my time." The man said icily as he got up and closed his computer.
"I apologize, sir. Miss Taija is ill and sent me in her place." Kagome said shyly. This man was intimidating. Sesshomaru looked up at her for a second before sitting next to her on the couch.
"What is your name?" He asked.
"Kagome. Higurashi Kagome."
"Well, miss Higurashi, I will say the same to you. You have limited time." He said. Kagome nodded, turning on the recorder and opening the book up to the pages.
"Um...in a previous interview, you said you have been donating toward an orphanage outside of town. What sparked your interest in that?" Kagome asked, seeming an appropriate first question.
"I knew of someone who attended there. I am simply returning a favor I owed them. Next question, Miss Higurashi." He said. Kagome looked through her papers.
"To what do you owe your success?" She asked. Sesshomaru looked at her. These questions were hardly original, yet something in her eyes said there was more she wanted to say and was having a hard time holding herself back.
"Running a business, Miss Higurashi, means to become one of the people. It means to take in what other say, and try to please them in every catagory necessary in succeeding in your business. I, for one, enjoy control and exercise it in every way possible. I take what others give me, and put it to maximum use." He said. Kagome looked at him. Somehow, that was an unexpected answer, yet she had no idea what to expect.
"You sound like a control freak." She muttered which he caught.
"I am not a control freak, Miss Higurashi, I simply use control in ways other lack." He said strongly and defensively with a small playful gleam in his eyes. Kagome looked at him and bit her lip before looking at her paper.
"Okay...um...are you gay?...wait, I mean- no... I am just reading from a list, I have no idea why she would have put that in there I-" She was cut off with a light chuckle from the person across from her.
"Miss Higurashi, I never was, and never will be gay. Now, you seem to do an awful lot of reading form that paper of yours. Why dont you ask me a true question. These are far too traditional for me to even listen to." Sesshomaru said sternly. Kagome looked at him.
"You said before that in order to succeed, you need to be a people person. Why does the public eye you as a cold hearted bastard?" She asked. Kagome knew she should have phrased it better, but she was too interested to think of a better way to ask.
"The media is a cruel world. They can take one harmless picture of the two of us in an interview right now and publish it as the next scandal of sex and affairs. They live off of out of context work and feed off of gossip. They find joy in twisting up truths and shredding them to lies." Sesshomaru said. Kagome looked at him.
"So it is not true? Are you not cold and heartless?" She asked. Sesshomaru smirked.
"The people who are closest seem to label me as more...committed." He said. Kagome looked at him.
"Committed to what, exactly?" She asked. His tall form was making her feel like a mouse, even though they were both seated.
"Next question, Miss Higurashi." He said almost teasingly. His tone stayed cold and stern, yet his eyes seemed to be playing a game with her.
Why do I have the feeling you are more lonely than 'committed'?" SHe asked. Just than the woman who escorted Kagome in, came back.
"Mr. Takahashi, your 3:oo is here." SHe said. Sesshomaru waved them away.
"Cancel. We are not done here." He said. As the doors closed once again, Kagome startedt oget up.
"I am sorry, Mr. Takahashi. I can go." She said guiltily.
"No, please, Miss Higurashi, sit. You know enough about me. Tell me about you. What are you studying?" He asked. For some reason, he felt attracted to the woman, without a good reason as to why. Her looks were marvelous, but there was something else, something different about her.
"I study the arts. I desire to be on the stage one day." Kagome said. "Most people tell me to be practical and forget about it, but others tell me I am talented and to fight." She said. Sesshomaru looked at her.
"If that fails, what is your backup plan?" He asked. Kagome shrugged.
"I take a few business classes on the side, enough to get me a decent job if all else fails." She muttered, suddenly feeling embarrassed of her choices. Sesshomaru looked at her.
"There are openings as an intern here at the company. I can look at your resume and get back to you if you would like." He said. Kagome shrugged.
"Ha, I don't think so, Mr Takahashi-"
"Sesshomaru. Call me Sesshomaru."
"O~kay, Sesshomaru, I don't think I fit in here, I mean, look at me." SHe said. He let a ghost of a smile grace his features which Kagome did not miss.
"I am." He said.
Kagome don't know how she ended the interview, but when reality snapped back into her, she was in the elevator, waving goodbye to sesshomaru.
"Goodbye, Miss Higurashi." he said. Kagome smiled.
"Kagome. Since I call you Sesshomaru, it is only fair." SHe insisted. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Take my card. If you have any other questions call this number." He said. Kagome nodded.
"Thank you," she said before walking into the elevator. "Have a nice day,"
"Kagome." He said as she pressed the button on the elevator door.
"Sesshomaru." She said, and with that, the doors snapped shut.
SOO? WHAT DO YOU THINK? I KNOW IT IS SUPER DUPER CLOSE TO 50SOG, BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE I WROTE IT RIGHT AFTER WATCHING IT. THE STORY LINE WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE MOVIE LATER ON.
ALSO, REALLY IMPORTANT!
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!
