Summary:

"I love how your eyes…mean what you say." His lips moved, with the sound of his voice. She smiled. A smile that no one had seen for the past 50 years.

He looked out the window. The warm wind brushed his face. His hair flew in the wind.

He sighed. It had been years since…since…

He tied his hair into a gentle ponytail and opened the door of his apartment room and walked down the hall.

Sessoumaru pressed the button for the elevator. It brought him down to the lobby.

"Going to work…Sessoumaru?" A teenage girl, about the age of 19 asked sweetly.

She was the daughter of the manager.

"Yes." Sessoumaru said coldly. "I am, Ayumi."

"Oh…goody! Daddy allowed me to be your secretary! Remember, daddy has ties with the company." She hung her arm around Sessoumaru's.

He shook her arm off and walked quickly to the door.

Ayumi smirked. "Did I do good…Naraku?" She asked quietly.

Naraku appeared behind her. "You did excellent, Kagura. Next I'll have Kikyou move onto Inuyasha. You know what to do, right Kagura?"

Kagura nodded and disappeared.

"It has been 500 years." Naraku sneered. "I will have my revenge."

"Hey, sis." Souta said. "Off to try for a new job?"

"You bet…" Kagome smiled, but her expression turned sad. "After...the well closed down, I don't know...what to do."

"C'mon sis, remember what you said. Inuyasha's a demon. He can live for a long, long, long time, if... he wasn't killed...he might still be around.

Kagome smiled and ruffled his hair. "Bye Souta!"

Kagome walked out the door and hurried to her destination.

Sessoumaru walked into the office and there, sitting on the secretary's desk, was Ayumi.

"Sessoumaru dearest. We have one person today, she wants to try to get hired. Poor girl."

"Mn." Sessoumaru left to his office.

"Oh! Sessoumaru dear! She's coming at 9:10."

Sessoumaru looked at his watch. Great, he thought. It's 9:07.

Sessoumaru arranged his papers for the interview.

He looked at his watch and counted down the seconds.

5...4...3...2...

R-Ring!

Sessoumaru picked up the phone. "Hi. Ayumi here. She's here."

"Show her in." He said.

"Oh! And sweetie, don't forget we are together! If she comes in the way of our love, tell me."

"I never loved you."

"But Sweeti-"

Sessoumaru put down the phone.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in." Sessoumaru replied.

A girl, at the age of 18 came in. Her hair was raven and it sparkled in the sun. But most special, was her blue eyes. He couldn't forget them.

When she looked at him, she gasped.

"Sess-Sessoumaru?" She questioned.

"That's me. How are you still alive... after... 500 years?"

"It is you. I'll explain. Sometime. Later." Kagome said. "First, I'm here for the interview. For a job."

"You're hired. You'll be my assistant." Sessoumaru said bluntely.

Kagome's eyes widened. "Really? Because well... this is my first time actually being hired... everyone else fired me. And...I didn't expect you to be so...nice."

Sessoumaru looked away at the last word.

"Bring these papers to Ayumi. She's he girl at the secretary's desk. Tell her that I have someone else in mind."

Kagome nodded. "Alright." She took the papers and headed out the door.

Kagome took the papers. She had so much to ask Sessoumaru. Yet, Sessoumaru had even more to ask her.

"Um...Ur...Ayumi?" Kagome asked at the girl at the secretary's desk. "Sessoumaru told me to give these to you. He says to tell you that he has someone else in mind...for your job."

Ayumi looked shocked. She read the papers aloud. "Dear Ayumi, you are here to be Secretary for 3 months. But there has been a sudden change in the orders. Will you be kindest to walk out the door because you are hereby fired. We no longer need you and we are sorry for this. We have someone else in mind that will do most well for your job ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Signed, Sessoumaru."

"What?! Sessoumaru! Why?" Ayumi ran into Sessoumaru's office.

"Because I have found a replacement." Sessoumaru said coolly. "I believe you are to leave now."

Ayumi ran out the door. "YOU'LL REGRET THIS!"

"Sessoumaru. Who is the replacement?"Kagome asked.

"Two. Two people, Kagome. A man and a woman. I am not familiar with them because they are not in my department. Go through the left door and you will find a hall with a lot of doors. Go to door number 278 and ask for...Ms. Taijiya and Mr, Kazaniko."

Kagome took the instructions and found herself in a long hall. She found the door and opened it. There were three people inside. Very familiar people.

"Inu-Inuyasha? Mir-Miroku? Sango?" Kagome asked, shocked.

"Kagome. No...It can't be." The girl that looked like Sango said.

"What?! It is you! You smelt exactly like this!" The boy named Inuyasha said. She noticed he wore a hat.

Kagome decided to play it safe. "Yeah. I'm Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."

"Kagome! It's really us." Miroku said.

"But. How?" Kagome asked.

"At the end, we used the Shikon jewel to bring us here." Sango said.

"But how come...you guys work here?" Kagome wondered.

"It was the only place that hired us we-"Inuyasha was cut short by Kagome.

"Did you know that Sessoumaru is the president of this company?"

"WHAT?!" All three of them chouted.

"Yeah. I'm his new assistant and...he told me to get a... Ms. Taijiya and Mr, Kazaniko." Kagome said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"That's me and Miroku." Sango said "Get it? Taijiya, and Kazana."

"Oh." Kagome said. "You guys are the new secretaries at Sessoumaru's department."

"Hey! I'm going with you!" Inuyasha said as the three just started out the door.

"Alright inuyasha." Kagome said. "But Sessoumaru won't be happy."

"Feh! Just take me to him." Inuyasha said.

Kagome giggled. "Still the same old Inuyasha."

"Who're you call'in old?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome led them to the door at the end of the hall and slowly opened it.

"You took long enough, Higurashi." A monotonous voice said out of the side of the room.

"Sorry...Sessoumaru. But I got Ms.Taijiya and Mr.Kazaniko. And...Inuyasha."

Sessoumaru turned her way, for the first time. "Inuyasha. How...?"

"After all this time Sessoumaru. We used the Shikon jewel to bring us here. We've only been here for two years. Ha. You waited. 500 years." Inuyasha laughed.

Sessoumaru growled. He growled again when he saw Miroku and Sango. "Brought your comrades along, Inuyasha?"

He turned to Kagome. "Where are the new secretaries? I only see your old teammates."

"Um…Miroku and Sango."

"Very well."
