The Sweetness of Business

Chapter 1:Meeting

12/16

Kagome Higurashi

18 years old senior at Doshinsha High

First entry

The sun shone like a diamond, and it bothered me to no end.I hated to fight during the day, you got all sweaty and you tired quickly. Today I was fighting my strongest oppenent, Kira Kagami. He was a male in his early twenties, and he had won a lot of fights. He didn't intimidate me, because we were in an alley, and I could easily blend in with the darkness. If I lost, I could easily regain my status, after I healed. I was only 18, I had lost my mentor, uncle, and gaurdian so that made me stronger,because Kira couldn't use him to defend him.I had loved him like a father, and he treated me like a daughter, except he pushed me to my limits, and I realized that my limits were the ones I set for myself. So I didn't set any limits, and I tried to concetrate on the fight.

I barely blocked a punch, as sweat trickled down my face. I stared intently at my oppenent,calculating what his next move would be, and the force that would back the attack. I saw him break a sweat,once again, as he stepped backwards. I stared into his brown eyes defiantly, letting him know that I wasn't about to give up. He gave me the same look, and I clenched my fists. I aimed for his face, and he didn't try to block it, instead he was going for a kick to the abdomen. When my fist collided with his face, and blood was sent running down his nose I felt a surge of triumph. That was until pain surged through me from my stomach up. I grasped my tummy, and realized the reason behind this hurt. Kira was wearing steal-toed boots.

"Smart.Guess you heard that I don't like to block or dodge an attack when I could attack the other person too. Looks like you came prepared." I said. No venom, no hurt, no weak voice came from my mouth.Only a sarcastic dark humor slash compliment came out. I forgot to mention that blood came out from my mouth though."But it really is too bad that you're not gonna win today."

I stood up to my full height, a miraculous 5 foot 5 inches. My white mid riff- bearing tanktop was stained with blood, and my fist clenched and unclenched. I spit out another glob of blood, and went for a frontal assualt. I dodged his punch,blocked his kick, and punched him squarely on his jaw bone. He was sent flying backwards, and I made the final move. I kicked him in his stomach, and spit some blood on his black shirt.

"That's what you get for messing with me." I spat.

"I wanted to compliment you for lasting longer than any other oppenent. You hit harder,last longer, and think faster."Kira replied."Maybe a rematch someday"

"You can count on it." I answered.

I walked out the alley, and towards the park. I limped all the way to my favorite tree. It was a large oak tree with roots coming out of the ground. The mayor wanted to get rid of it, but Ryu-kun bought the park before the mayor even had the permission to cut it down.I thanked Ryu-kun profusely, and I always came here after a fight, to think, or just to rest a little bit. I let my eyelids droop, and before I knew it I was sleeping.

!Later that night!

"Excuse me miss, but don't you have somewhere to be?"asked a friendly male voice.

"No,not really, but I do have to study for a test." I replied half asleep. I learned that I could still be fully rested, and be half awake the whole time.

"Ma'am, sorry to bother you but would you mind going to my house, so I could treat those wounds?"asked the voice again.

"Nah.Nothing I've never had before.Just a little bit more exhausting."I replied.

"But,you've lost more than a pint of blood. You must be feeling a little woozy."the man argued.

"What if I am?Not like you're gonna do anything.Anyways who are you?"I argued back.

"Inuyasha Kagetora.I plan to be a doctor, and run my own hospital."said Inuyasha."You are?"

"Kagome Higurahi.I plan to be the best street fighter in the world."I answered."You know what, how about you take me to your house,nurse my wounds, drop me off at my place,and call it a night."

"Okay, but you're not going home until you are fully rejuvinated."Inuyasha said.

"Look buster,the quicker I get home the better I'll be.I can nurse my own wounds, and still be alive.Thank you."I replied.I got up and limped my way to my Hummer.I opened the door, and slid in.

"Miss Higurashi,at least let me escort you home, and I can find a ride in the morning."Inuyasha yelled before I closed my door.

"Fine."I growled.Something about this boy brings up so many memories. He reminded me of Ryu-kun.How he would stubbornly stick by my side no matter what I said. I could never dissaude him, and he would always find a way to get what he wanted.I felt tears well up in my eyes as more memories with Ryu-kun flooded my head.A loud bang pulled me out of my reverie."Ready?"

"Yes ma'am."Inuyasha said.

I drove as quickly as possible to my house, and ran up to my room. I quickly dressed my wounds, and started to strip.Layer upon layer of clothing came off.I grabbed my robe,and put it on then I headed to my bathroom.But a sudden noise surprised me,and I quickly turned around to see Inuyasha.

"Perverttttt!"I yelled at the top of my lungs.I grabbed the nearest thing I could find, which happened to be my bra.Inuyasha caught it with ease.I saw a smile in his eyes, and I was almost scared.

"So you want to play with me,eh?"asked Inuyasha.

"Get out!"I yelled as I pointed to my door.Inuyasha took another step closer, and in a flash he was by my side.I saw him staring at me, and rage grew inside me."Whatcha lookin' at lech?"

"Nothing,just your boob."he replied.I looked down and sure enough a part of my breast was visible.

"Out!"I yelled.I pushed him out the door, and locked it.

How can a nice male,suddenly turn into a pervert?That's just impossible,oh wait, no it's not. I could have a sudden change in personality.One minute I'm the bad girl,winning all the street fights, and the next I'm the school girl, but still a little bit of the bad girl.But this was differentInuyasha was nice, and the next he was all hormone driven pervert, and nothing about him screamed nice.I sighed in frustration, and I headed towards my bathroom.A hot bath should do me a whole lot of good.I turned on the shower and stood there until the hot water came running down.

"Ahh,now that was muy bien,"I said as I stepped out of the shower. I loved to speak many languages at the same time so people couldn't understand me. It was fun because the expression on the person's face was priceless.I walked toward my drawer which I built to make it look like it came from the Dark Ages. I even colored it black with red borders. My two favorite colors. Ryu-kun was totally against it, but I knew how to persuade him,though I had to practice even more to get what I wanted. I smirked at the memory.

"Mistress, Mr. Inuyasha Kagetora said that he is sleeping here, is that true?"asked one of the many maids I had.

"Yes,but make sure his room is the farthest away from mine."I replied.

"But mistress he said he was your fiance so we let him into your room without knocking.Anyways why don't you like him, all my friends like him,"the maid said.

"Look. what's your name?"I asked.

"Kikyou, mistress."Kikyou said.

"Okay Kikyou, you go to my school don't you?"I asked.

"Yes."Kikyou said.

"You're a senior right? So you would be interested in him, but I'm not.I don't have time for boys.Here's my answer, because he is an idiot."I replied.

"Okay, but how did you come up with that conclusion?He's only the most popular, and smartest boy in Doshinsha High. All the females like him,including the young teachers.Not the old ones because they're stuck in the 1950's.But he's fearless, and always turns a girl down. His excuse is that he has no time for girls, so when I heard he was your fiance I finally figured out why he didn't go out with other girls.It's because he was betrothed to you, but aren't you two young?"asked Kikyou.

"First of all we're NOT engaged.Second of all who gives a shit?Third I want him to sleep in the farthest guest house,that we have."I answered.

"Yes ma'am."Kikyou said."I'll be leaving now."

I heard the door shut,and I breathed a sigh of relief.The one thing I couldn't quite get was the fact that he went to Doshinsha High.I knew everyone in Doshinsha High,because Ryu-kun had been the head of the school board.Which I am now, but that helps. Wait, he said his name wasInuyasha Kagetora, which means he's the son of InutaishoKagetora, which means his data is well hidden, and that he's rich.Also his plan to be a doctor wouldn't be happening because he would inherit halfKagetora Corporations,since he was one of InuTaisho's sons.I flopped on my bed, and felt my wooden box. I took it out, and opened it.I've never opened it, and the last time I touched it was when I was thirteen. I found a folded piece of paper,and carefully took it out.In flowing handwriting it read:

Dear Kagome,

You've probably haven't touched this box in ages, and I hoped that you would open it when you were around your early twenties.But if you are younger than I hoped you are than you better stop reading this.

I thought about it for awhile, but I made up my mind, and read on.

I knew that you would read on.You were always such a curious girl.I wanted you to be much more mature when you read this so you wouldn't go on rampage and take over the world.Laugh out loud.That's the least of my worries.What I want to tell you is that I love and you and that I care about you more than anything in the world.But to love you have to let go, so I'm letting you go.

When you were still in your mother's womb, your mother and father,arranged a marriage for you.Your father the head of Higurashi Company wanted to merge three great companies.He married your mother,because they fell in love.So in retrospect two companies are now merged,but one still remains, and that one is up to you. In your father's will he wrote that his eldest daughter was to marry InuRaisho's youngest son.InuTaisho even signed the will.He also stated that you would inherit the Higurashi company,after I died.Now you are the head of two great companies.

But what I wanted to tell you was that you have to marryInuyasha,Inutaisho's youngestson,by college graduation.If you dont Kanichi Corporations,andHigurashi would go to the Kagetora family, and our family would lose control.The fate of our family rests in your hands.

I know that you want to be the greatest street fighter, but let me tell you so doesInuyasha.He has been participating in the tornament ever since he was 13.He has claimed the title and it is likely that he will still be champion when you enter.So either why you will have to face him.Oh yes, he will also be in your school during senior year.

Please do not fail the family.MarryInuyasha as your father wishes,and remember you owe it to him for saving your life.Remember that love is not a game but some hidden emotion most people are unwilling to show.

Love always and forever,

Ryu-kun Mirota Kanichi

PS.You are a hanyou, and so isInuyasha so be careful!

I curled myself into a ball, and pulled the covers over my body. How could my parents do that to me?I thought they loved me, and Uncle Ryu-kun.Me, being a hanyou, was impossible.That was just in faerie tales,make-believe,figments of crazy people's imaginations.

"You know that it's true.Because you were always different when it came to speed,strength,and that's why you didn't want me to treat your wounds because you knew that it would heal by itself.And whenever you fight you keep your cool,that is called "ice blood" that only the dog demons have.Have you ever wondered why your hair was silver?And your eyes gold?Or why you have claws?Or maybe why your ears are pointed? Why the school you go to have people who are just like you, but different from humans?"asked a voice."Maybe why your sight,hearing, and smell is better, more enhanced."

"Look Inuyasha,I don't know what you're talking about."I replied.

"I know you do.I know that your frustrated because you found out that youre a demon and that you are really my fiance."

"But the question is why me?"

"You read the letter.anyways I would like to go out with other girls but my dad won't let me."

"Tough luck.now out, I have to change."

"Can't I watch?We're gonna get married sooner or later so why not now?"

"Because I'm gonna defy everyones wishes,and I get to choose if I marry you or not"

"But you feel bad about it don't you?"

"Leave me alone."

"Fine but this is not the only time that you're gonna lose an arguement with me, so remember that."

Inuyashaleft the room and I sighed.He was right I had lost for the first time to a complete stranger.

A/N :Like it so far?Tell me if you do.So for now review.
