Author's Note- This is ooc, the characters should be as close to the originals, but they have been moved from their original settings, and of course are paired different. I obviously dont own any anything but the plot.I know it's not the longest, or the best first chapter. But review..please :)
Chapter 1
To say she was running late would be an understatement.
Kagome ran full speed down the crowded sidewalk, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. She mumbled apologies to the unseen faces of strangers as she pushed and shoved. Any other time, she was a model citizen in politeness, but now, she just hadn't the time.
She needed this job.
Kagome rushed through the whirling door of Taisho Inc, willing the damn thing to move faster, before it finally released her to the other side. Breath escaping her lungs in tiny gasps, clothes clinging damply to her body, and hair flying in unsightly directions on her head, Kagome made her way to the lone person in the reception area and tried to paste a smile onto her pasty pale lips.
"Hello." The girl mused, after standing in front of the desk and the attendant never once looking up to address her. "My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I have an interview with Mr. Taisho."
"It's a quarter after." The attendant replied in a heartbeat, never once taking his eyes off the screen in front of him. Kagome dully noted his seasick grean looking skin, his rather large black looking eyes, and balding head he tried poorly to conceal, and decided she didn't quite find this man enjoyable.
"I apologize profusely", her immediate reply, escaping her lips before her brain could process any thoughts buzzing through her head. "I had to catch three buses here, and I had a hard time finding a sitter, and I ended up short on bus fare, and.." Kagome trailed off as the sickly man held up his little hand and finally pulled his eyes from the screen.
He smiled sardonistically at her, lips curled almost in a sneer as he took in her less than pleasant appearance. " I care not for your excuses, and neither does Master Sesshomaru."
Kagome's fake plastered on face quickly died.
"You are a foolish girl to think he would even see you after trying to make one of the most important men in New York City wait. You are dismissed." And with that, the tiny man went back to his computer.
A rush of emotions threatened to overtake her; silent determination winning. She turned slowly to rearrange her face to match the settling calm she felt inside, before turning back to weird skin man.
"I understand I've inconvenienced everyone", she began strongly. "But I won't leave until I speak with your boss."
"Well then", he replied with a smirk. "I'll just have security escort you out to the streets where you belong." He picked up and the phone and smiled at her as he began punching in the numbers on the phone.
Kagome felt her will fading, her smile once again slipping from her face and landing flatly onto the cold marble tile floors.
"Jakon", Came the sharp reprimanding from behind her. "What in earth are you doing?"
Kagome peeked over her shoulder to see one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen, standing there with a slight smirk on her lovely Asian face.
"Well hello dear, it seems we have a dilemma. "She offered Kagome a radiant smile, shifting her bag from one arm to the other.
"Why don't you follow me up and we'll see what we can do about getting this job." She smiled once again at the girl, before nodding at Jakon and making her way to the service elevator.
Kagome followed the woman in a mini trance, her mind completely on auto mode. She walked past several hundred cubicles, half of them buried in work in front of them. Some addressed the woman in front of of her, but their painful ass-kissing tactics were ignored as the woman continued walking as though no one at all had addressed her.
"So", the woman, who Kagome had yet to pick up on her name, sad as she stopped in front of a frosted over glass door. "I'm going to go in and give him his lunch; you stay here and I'll call you in a moment."
Kagome nodded curtly and watched as she tapped lightly on the door. When she was finally alone, Kagome let out a bent up breath and allowed her shoulders to sag. Unsure if she even resembled the appearance that stepped out of the apartment earlier, she smoothed her fluffy black hair down the best she could with her hands.
"Enter."
Kagome plastered on a smile; though her heart hitched at the command. She entered the room to see the woman before leaning against the chair of Mr. Taisho. The woman smiled at her reassuring, albeit with some menace in her eyes, before kissing Sesshomaru on the forehead and walking from the room.
With the beautiful woman gone from the room, it forced Kagome to turn her attention on the other person in the room.
'His eyes are so cold', Kagome noted as he stared blankly, if not in boredom, at her.
"You're late. In fact, an hour late." The bass of his voice carried throughout the room and ensnarled Kagome with its demanding presence. She would not allow herself to be intimidated. "The only reason I've allowed you to even step into my office is because my wife insisted."
Oh, that's who the gorgeous woman was, Kagome thought absently. Makes sense, gorgeous people deserve other gorgeous people.
Kagome realized too late that her inner dialog had caused her to miss something as Sesshomaru stared blankly at her.
"I apologize sir. What was the original question?"
Kagome could have sworn she saw him roll his eyes, but she decided to keep said observation to herself.
"I said", Sesshomaru, said with clear irritation in his voice. "That my wife as offered you a position. When are you available?"
Kagome stared dumbfounded, questions if she had in fact heard correctly.
"Girl speak up." He demanded as he clearly lost what patience he held. "I haven't all day to deal with the likes of you. I have important pressing matter, and my lunch is getting cold."
Kagome narrowed her eyes at being called a girl, but said nothing. "I can be here first thing in the morning after I dropped Rin off at daycare."
Sesshomaru looked at the papers scattered at his desk. "What is this Rin you speak of? You have children?" He hadn't the care if she did, he just noticed she looked too young to have children. If she was just another teenage irresponsible mother she wouldn't last long, and he would have to endure finding another plain girl that fit his wife's taste.
"Rin, is my younger sister." Kagome replied, surprised he asked in the first place. "I'll drop her off first thing, and rush right over."
Sesshomaru waved her off dismissively, done with her rambling and ready to move on to more pressing matters.
Getting the hint she was dismissed, Kagome smiled and exited the office.
She had got the job, and that was the only thing that mattered to her….well except giving Mr Green Gross skin man the finger as she walked out the front doors.
Rin was lonely, and impatiently waiting for her sister to walk through the door. The babysitter her sister got for her was talking on her cell phone, and kept telling her to be quiet everytime she asked her if she wanted to play.
It made Rin feel scared.
Scared because when she was lonely, she remembered.
She remembered things that even Kagome didn't know, and things that always left her breathless.
She felt things touching and probbing her.
Her skin would crawl.
"Tenesha, please play with me!" Rin begged, tears prickling in her big beautiful brown eyes.
The sitter simply looked at her, before pushing off the couch and walking to one of the back rooms. Rin heard as the lock clicked, and knew she really was alone.
The darkness began to seep in, and more tears prickled in her eyes.
Kagome, hurry home, she begged, as she began sucking her thumb.
I'm scared.
