Getting A Leash

Chapter1:I hate my job

Beeeep...beeeeep...beeeep...bee-.

I smash the top of my alarm with my fist.

Rubbing my eyes, I sit up in my bed.

I look over at my clock, or rather, what was left of it.

3:30.

I hate my job.

Groaning I slide out of my bed and walk over to my bureau.

It ain't easy being assassin, especially when you're stuck with a partner like-.

My phone rang, the tune was,"Raise Your Glass", by P!nk.

I flipped the top open and was greeted with,"You're late Haruka".

"How can I be late?, it's 3:30?".

"If you hadn't hit it so many times it would have said 4:10".

"Shut up Sesshomaru before I-wait, it's 4:10, oh shit I'm late!".

"Stop screaming into the phone, you're hurting my ears you unruly cat".

"Well then, listen to this", I said while hanging up.

I got out my stuff and changed.

I put on a black shirt with no sleeves and a turtle neck.

Next came a red open skirt with brown pants and black knee high boots.

I then put on white arm length gloves on, and put my waist length maroon hair in a ponytail, but my left bang was so long it covered my left orchid cat eye.

I grabbed my belt that had a bunch of pouches and put it around my waist.

Then I put 7 throwing knives in one pouch, 5 smoke grenades in another, 2 small first-aid kits in one, and then I put my identification card in a pocket in my shorts.

I opened my window, and saw a familiar black B.M.W. waiting on the street in front of my apartment.

Now don't get me wrong, I hate Sesshomaru's guts, but I need a ride to work every morning, and since he lives a few blocks away, he reluctantly said he would help.

To Do List:

#1:Kill Sesshomaru's brother

#2:Get my C.D. back from Sango

#3:Get black-out worthy drunk with Miroku

#4:Kill my best friend and bring her back to kill again

#5:Either kill Sesshomaru or get driven utterly insane

Yeah, those are my goals.

I sighed and jumped out of the window, landing in front on my door.

I opened it, locked it, closed it, and headed for the car.

The window rolled down to show a irretated Sesshomaru.

Haruka:1 Sesshomaru:342

Hey, at least I'm making progress.

Me, Sesshmomaru, his brother Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kagome and my best friend Arisu all work at the same place.

We're all assassins, but the base's cover-up, is a office where we do stupid paperwork all day until night fall where we can actually do our jobs.

Lucky for me, I'm the one who,"supervises what's going on", so when the boss is around I act sharp and focused, and when he leaves, I do whatever the hell I want!.

I've done a lot of things to get where I am.

I've studied, I've done favors, I've done everything in the book to get on the boss's good side.

Thankfully, it paid off.

I thought it would be like any other day.

Boy was I wrong.

We got to the office, and right when I walk in, the annoucer say on the intercom,"Could Miss Suzuki come to Chief Myouga's office?".

I thought it was for praise.

Again I was ever so often wrong.

"Take a seat Haruka".

I slumped into a chair, and waited for the praise, instead I got-.

"You're being demoted".

"Eh?".

That wasn't exactly what I was going for.

"I was told that you were miss-using your privilages.

"Who told you such nonsense?".

Arisu strolled in, and I said mentally,"I'm switching, Arisu'd job with yours, so from now on during the day you'll be doing paperwork, all right?".

I tried to look like it didn't bother me and said,"All right, well, I'll be going to work now".

"That's the spirit!", Myouga smiled.

At Haruka's desk...

Her mouth fell open as she saw stacks and stacks of paperwork that had to be proofread, redone and returned.

That's it, #1 has been switched with #4!".
