Summary: Kagome is just a regular hard working, cat loving person. Her only problem seems to be with relationships. She has the looks, and she thinks she has the personality. She is kind and loving, so what is wrong with her? When she looses her job and meets a handsome hanyou, will she try again, or is she through trying to make it work?
$$ Chapter 1
Kagome sat up in bed. She had another restless night. Her twin size, green leaf covered bed held no comfort for her. She pulled the covers away and got out of bed. Her silken leopard print pj's flowing about her ankles and wrists as she made her way to her bathroom. Flipping on the light she trudged to the sink and stared at her reflection in the oblong mirror. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were puffed up from the previous night of crying. She looked pale from lack of sleep and her eyes drooped, giving them a darker look. She placed her hands on the counter on both sides of the sink and leaned closer to the mirror.
It had happened again. She had gone through yet another night of heart break, loneliness, and crying. She was really getting tiered of it. What puzzled her most though was that he, like all the others, just said that he was tiered of the relationship. She had no idea what he meant by that and when she tried to ask why he just said that he wasn't into her anymore and would avoid answering the question in detail. Every time she got into a relationship it always happened. After a few months, in this case a year, they would just one day say that they didn't like her anymore or were not really ready for a relationship, and every time it would crush her. She would spend the next few days crying herself to sleep, eating junk food (which surprisingly enough didn't make her gain a single pound) and wondering what to do next. Usually she would just get over him and try again. This time though, she was seriously tiered. 'I can't take this anymore! It always happens and I am tiered of it. I give up on men. I can look but other than that, I am not getting into another relationship. This is destroying me, my body is going to give by the time I'm fifty if I keep on going through this. No more relationships!'
She grabbed a wash cloth out of the cabinet to the left of the sink. Soaking it in worm water she placed it over her eyes to reduce the puffy ness. After throwing the rag in the laundry shoot she turned on the shower and hopped in. She let the warmth wash over her sleep deprived body. As she felt her muscles relax she washed her hair and body. She turned off the water after she rinsed out the conditioner. Rapping a towel around her she stepped out of the shower. She quickly dressed, noticing that it was already 7:32 and she had to be at work by 7:45.
She was a lawyers secretary. Her boss worked to help humans who had ben beaten or abused by demons. Yoki, or demons, were admitted as citizens under certain rules. Since they were automatically stronger than humans, they were not permitted to use force on anyone unless there job required it, such as a police man, but even then they could not inflict life threatening damage to a human being. Some humans used this to there advantage and abused yoki. Some were abused by yoki. The companies job was to see that justice was served to those who were abused, in some cases it required taking the side of the yoki. Kagome had to admit though that there were some very nice demons. In some cases she felt sorry for them and how they were treated. Humans never really respected or excepted them, and in turn demons never liked humans. But that wasn't they way for all of them. There were occasional demons who liked humans and vice versa.
After putting on some black dress pants and a three quarter sleeve pink shirt. She quickly grabbed a nutrition bar and her keys. she went out to her blue buick la saber and started it up. She wasn't real proud of her car but it got her from point A to point B and was cheep on gas. She took a glance at the clock. It was know 7:40. She was going to be late if she didn't hurry. She didn't normally speed but if she was late again she would probably get fired. Her boss wasn't the nicest guy in the world. If she was not there by seven forty-five on the dot she would get an hours pay taken away. It wasn't that she desperately needed the money or anything but she didn't like to work for nothing.
She know had exactly one minute to get into the office. She pulled up into the parking lot and quickly parked. She grabbed her purse and keys, locking the car she ran up to the five story building. she quickly ran up two flights of stairs to the third floor. Just as she ran through the office doors a timer went off. Ever since her tardies to work her boss, Naraku, had started setting an alarm clock to go off at 7:45. She looked around, there was no Naraku. She quickly went behind the desk and turned on her moneter and logged into her computer. She had just barely made it. As soon as she pressed the enter key Naraku walked into her office. "Well at least you made it on time today." Kagome looked up at him with a small smile. "I guess I did." Naraku walked over to her desk and slapped down a manila folder. "I need all the information from the Shirro case on my desk by ten. Cancel my one o'clock appointment with Shinshi. Inform me immediately when Sseshumaru comes in." Kagome looked down at her work load with a small frown, and then snapped her head back up to her demanding boss. "Yes sir." She reached for the folder and started flipping through it. She stopped when she herd Narakus voice calling her. she looked up at the half open door as Naraku looked back at her. "Oh and next time you are not logged in by the time that buzzer goes off I will take two hours wages away. Just giving you fare warning." He turned and walked out of the door with a smirk on his face. Kagome fumed. She had been there on time, so what if she wasn't logged in. She tried not to let him get to her to much but she just couldn't take it some times. He did it on purpose, she knew, but she just hated him sometimes. She really couldn't see how anyone would hier him. Kagome started working on the Shirro case. At nine o'clock she had almost all of the information gathered. All she had left was the judges statement on the charges. She got up and walked across the room to a coffee pot that was steaming hot. After poring herself a cup she went back to her desk, not noticing the office door opening. She sat down and continued typing, and only stopped when she heard someone clearing there throat. She looked up to find a demon standing in the door way. He had long silver hair. His eyes were a cold yellow. He was dressed in a business suit with a black type. She put down the manilla folder with the Shirro information in it. "May I help you?" The demon stepped forward up to the desk. His expression was blank. "Yes, I have an appointment with Mr. Naraku." Kagome looked to her computer and checked the schedule. "Are you Sseshumaru?" She looked back up to the demon. His face expressionless he nodded his head. "Will you please have a seat and he will be with you shortly." Sesshumaru walked back over to a waiting chair and sat down. Kagome picked up her office phone and dialed Naraku's user number. After a small beep she herd Naraku's voice. "Sir, Sesshumaru is here to see you." Naraku then instructed to send him in. After hanging up the phone she looked back up at the waiting Sesshumaru. Before she could say a word he got up and walked through the door to Naraku's office. 'Sheesh, I hate it when they do that. There ears are so sensitive. It makes it difficult to do my job.' She resumed finishing the Shirro case. At nine thirty she had the whole thing finished. She was still a little peaved at Niroku for earlier that morning. He had always told her not to disturb him while he was with a client and she hadn't, yet. 'It would be a good way to pay him back for earlier. And plus he wouldn't fire me fore something like that, and in front of a client. I think I will pay him a little visit' She smiled as she stood up holding the manilla folder with all the information on the Shirro case.
She whipped the smile off her face as she walked through his office door. Once she was in the office she saw that Naraku was sitting in his chair and Sesshumaru was sitting in the chair on the opposite side of his desk. She walked up to Naraku, who was looking at her like he was ready to kill. 'sheesh he looks mad, oh well, he will get over it' "Sir, here is all the information on the Shirro case that you wanted." He snatched the folder out of her hands. "I thought I told you not to disturb me when I am with a client?" Kagome refrained from smiling. "Well Sir, you made it completely clear that you wanted it no later than ten so I figured it was important." She was just about to turn away when he laughed. "I could fire you, you know." Kagome could tell that he was pulling her strings again. "Oh? And who would you find to replace me? Especially at the cheap price you pay me. Not many people would work for you at the price I do." Naraku immediately stopped laughing. He had a client sitting in the room and she had just pointed out his attachment to his money. He knew that was bad for business. "I pay you what you earn, and if you don't go and do your job I will take away an hours wages. You have disrupted my meeting and are pushing the line." Kagome smiled, she new exactly what she had said and what he meant. She turned and walked out the door, trying real hard not to laugh at how she was able to play with his ego. She sat down at the desk and continued her work. About thirty minutes later Naraku and Sesshumaru walked through his office door. Naraku looked mad and Sesshumaru didn't really have an expression on his face. "I don't think that my client would like that. " Sesshumaru said firmly as he headed for the door. "I don't see how you have a case here. I did not do anything to your client." Naraku stood there with his hands on his hips. Sesshumaru turned around and for the first time he showed some emotions on his face. He smiled, a very small smile, but a smile. "On the contrary I have plenty of evidence that what you did was nothing." He then walked out of the office. Kagome looked back to her computer . She didn't really want Naraku to notice that she had herd all of that. Naraku huffily walked over to her desk. "I told you not to interrupt me when I am with a client. You have been coming in late and know you have interrupted my meeting and probably cost me a law suit." Kagome could not believe her ears, just by sending in the work that he told her to he accuses her of creating a law suit. "How can you accuse me of a law suit when all I did was give you the work you told me to. And its not my fault that you barley give me time to get any sleep and try to have a social life." Kagome took in a deep breath. She new she shouldn't have said that, her job was on the line. Naraku's face heated up and Kagome could tell that he was really mad. "That is it, your Fired!" Naraku stormed into his office. Kagome sat there speechless. She had just been fired. She didn't really want to think in depth about it. 'How could this day probably get any worse? First I get dumped and know I don't have a job' Kagome got slowly up from her chair and gathered her things. She didn't really have much to gather but she didn't want to leave anything for that but to have. She was a little numb from the shock but she didn't want to think she just wanted to go home and sleep. 'I can't believe that he fired me for just giving him the work he told me to. I didn't do anything that he told me not to. More importantly how am I going to pay rent and for food? Not to mention my cat' Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a slightly familiar voice. "Isn't it a little early for you to be taking a lunch break?" She turned around to see Sesshumaru standing behind her. "Oh, I don't even know what time it is." Kagome whispered as she turned back to the elevator. To her suprise he herd her. "Its about 11." Kagome wasn't really paying attention. The elevator doors oppend to show an empty elevator. Kagome stepped in, and Sesshumaru fallowed closely after. "So what is your boss like?" Kagome looked at him a little confused. "I don't have a boss." Sesshumaru looked at her quizzically. "I thought you were Naraku's secretary?" Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "Not any more. He just fired me." the elevator started to go down floor by floor. Kagome unconsciously started to think about what her next move would be. She didn't realize that Seusshumaru was talking to her. "So what do you think you are going to do know? I mean do you have another job in mind?" Kagome was still thinking. Sesshumaru waved his hand in front of her face. "Well if this is how you act on the job no wonder he fired you." Kagome snapped back to reality as she realized that he was waving his hand in front of her face. She shook her head "Oh sorry, what did you say?". "I was just saying that if you act like that its no wonder he fired you." Kagome frowned "I don't usually act like this. I think he just over worked me,either that or I am in shock." The elevator stopped on the bottom floor. Sesshumaru stepped from the elevator. Kagome did the same. Sesshamoru turned to Kagome and handed her an information card. "If you feel like suing the jerk just give me a call." said Sesshumaru as he walked towards the front entrance. Kagome blinked, stuffing the card in her pocket she started to walk towards the employee's parking lot. 'I guess I could apply to a restaurant. But then my skills that I went to collage for would go to waist. Maby I could look for a minimum wage job until I find another secretary job. I better start looking today' She checked her watch, it was only 11:15. She could go home and eat then go looking for a job. Her connections list was very limited because Naraku had left little time for her to have a social life. She had Hojo, who she had dated about a year ago, they had stayed friends after they broke up. She had Miroku, who she had met at a bar. He wasn't the best guy in the world but he was friendly. The one mager flaw that Kagome saw in him was that he flirted way to much. That was it. She didn't have any other friends. That was another good thing that she saw in being fired, she know had time to create a social life. She reached her car and pulled out her keys. After starting her car she drove back home. First she would eat lunch then she would call Miroku and see if he new of anyone who could use a secretary. If he didn't know of anyone then she would just go out looking for a temporary job till she found a good one. She went back to her apartment and put her office supplies up in the top of her closet. She then went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Once there she spotted her cat, princess, sitting on the counter. "Are you hungry to? Hold on and I will get you something to eat."She went over to the cabinet and pulled out a can of Friskies cat food. After opening it she placed it on the counter for princess. She then went over to the frig to pick out something for her to eat. Deciding that she wasn't really that hungry she chose to eat a Sandwich. She placed all the things she needed on the table and started to make a Sandwich. She was just opening the Mayo when the phone rang. Standing up she went to the cordless in the living room and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" There was a pause, and then a very familiar voice answered. "Hey cuttie, what are you doing?" "Oh, he Miroku. Well I was actually just about to call you. Niroku fired me today so I was going to ask if you new anyone who was looking for a secretary." Miroku boomed his replie. "That A, he actually fired you. You are the best secretary I ever had. You could come work for me again." Kagome thought for a second, even though she didn't really want to work for him she new that she might not have a choice. "If I can't find a job anywhere else I might have to. Is there anyone else at the office that needs a secretary?" There was another pause of thought. "Well not really. Edd has a secretary, Kira doesn't need one either. I don't think there are any spots open over here except mine." Kagome laughed. "What did you do to the last one? Did you start flirting with her to?" Miroku responded indignantly "No! Why would you think I would do that? Actually she was flirting with me, and when I flirted back she quit." Kagome laughed even harder, he was terrible at lying and she could tell that it had been him doing the flirting. "Well I need to go, I have to start looking for a job. Either that or me and princess won't have food to keep us alive." Miroku paused "Who is princess?" Kagome forgot that she hadn't talked to Miroku for a while and he never new that she had gotten a cat. "Oh thats my new cat. She is so adorable, I love her." Miroku laughed on the other end of the line. "You really need to get out and get some friends if you are resorting to getting pets. You were never able to keep anything alive when you were a kid." Kagome was taken aback "Excuse me but if memory serves me right you kept scaring the crud out of them and they would die of shock. Either that or you would strap a bomb to there backs." It was Mirokus time to sound indignant "I did no such thing!" Kagome laughed crudely "Miroku, You were the one that couldn't keep a pet even if your life depended on it. I really need to go. The more time I waist the more hours I don't have money. I will talk to you later." Miroku sied, "The job will probably be open for a while so if you can't find employment then you know where to turn." Kagome hung up the phone. Kagome turned back to her food and after making a quick Sandwich she walked out of the door. She would eat on the way. She had to find a job.
He woke up to his alarm going off. He hated getting up for work but there was really nothing he could do about it. He had to have money to pay for food and rent. He jumped up and took a quick shower. After getting dressed and eating a fast breakfast he grabbed his car keys and headed towards the office. He speed into the parking lot and found a space close to the door. He was a hot rod when it came to driving. He was carful when he did speed but he never could slow down, the adrenalin would kick in and he would be off. He had gotten pulled over a couple of years back and was getting a ticket when the police officer realized the he was a honyo and got scared. He wasn't even thinking about doing anything to him when he flipped and started to apologize frantically. He ended up calming the man down and got off with just a wornning form the still slightly paranoid officer. He walked up to the double doors and pushed his way through. It was only a one floor building and didn't really attract a lot of business but it was still a job. He walked through the hall way going towards his cubacle when herd someone trying to sneak up on him. He turned around as he said "What do you want this time Miroku?" The said man froze at the shock of being caught trying to sneak up on the honyo. "How did you know it was me?" The hanyo smiled mischievously "Well for one thing you always have this awful stench sticking on you. Seriously, when was the last time you took a bath? For another you are way to loud." Miroku frowned, he didn't smell bad. He just took a shower that morning. "I just took a shower this morning. I ware cologne though." He 'fehd' and started to walk towards his work area. Miroku fallowed close behind. "So Inuyasha, how is your life going?" Inuyasha just ignored his attempt at a conversation. Miroku tried again. "Are you going to try and move up on the ranks?" Inuyasha was getting tiered of Miroku and he had only been there for about ten minutes. "Whats it to you if I am?" Miroku smiled one of his mischievous smiles. "Well I have a friend that needs a job and she is a really good secretary. For some reason she wouldn't come work for me." Miroku looked down at the ground deep in thought on why Kagome didn't want to work for him. He had never done anything to her, except maby flirt but every guy did that when they saw Kagome. Miroku was snapped out of his thoughts when Inuyasha started to speak again. "Well I wonder why. Its not like you treat your secretaries with any kind of respect or anything. You always try and get them to go out with you when they have only known you for a day or two." Miroku frowned "Why is everyone on my back today. Kagome said the same type of thing just a few minutes ago." Inuyash let out a breath "Well, glad to know I'm not the only one who sees it. You really are a lecher when it comes to women." Miroku huffed off to his office. He was one of the ground managers so he got an office to himself while Inuyasha was just an office worker. Miroku would usually get mad when Inuyasha showed up late but he gave up on that when the hanyo didn't show any sign of caring. They organized motorcycle races. Miroku made sure that everything was going good while Inuyasha got a hold of all the racers to verify information. Occasionally they would get the chance to go and watch some of the races but for the most part they just organized them. Inuyasha had always wanted to race but never got the chance to. He figured that if he couldn't race then he could get as close to it as possible. He would take his bike out every once in a while and do some back street racing but that was it. The phone on Inuyashas desk rang and he picked it up to start off his day. After about seven hours of working Inuyasha walked out of the office to his car so he could head home. He was exosted and was ready for bed. He had spent most of the day trying to fix a problem that they had with the track that was going to be used for the next race. Apparently some one had gone in and sabotaged the track till it was not usable for the race that was coming up in three days. Relocating the race was very hard work. He had to call all the sponsors and race men to tell them what happened. He made his way down the street to his house. He seemed to be having bad luck since he hit every single red light. After hitting the red light on fiftieth he decided that he would run the rest of them. While waiting for the light to change he turned on the radio to Pop rock. There was no one else around and the sun had gone down a few hours ago. Inuyasha looked up and saw the light turn green. He was about to press the accelerator when something flew in front of his car, crashing into the windshield. "What the..!"
She was a lawyers secretary. Her boss worked to help humans who had ben beaten or abused by demons. Yoki, or demons, were admitted as citizens under certain rules. Since they were automatically stronger than humans, they were not permitted to use force on anyone unless there job required it, such as a police man, but even then they could not inflict life threatening damage to a human being. Some humans used this to there advantage and abused yoki. Some were abused by yoki. The companies job was to see that justice was served to those who were abused, in some cases it required taking the side of the yoki. Kagome had to admit though that there were some very nice demons. In some cases she felt sorry for them and how they were treated. Humans never really respected or excepted them, and in turn demons never liked humans. But that wasn't they way for all of them. There were occasional demons who liked humans and vice versa.

Kagome looked to her computer and checked the schedule. "Are you Sseshumaru?" She looked back up to the demon. His face expressionless he nodded his head.

Naraku stormed into his office. Kagome sat there speechless. She had just been fired. She didn't really want to think in depth about it. 'How could this day probably get any worse?

I didn't do anything that he told me not to. More importantly how am I going to pay rent and for food? Not to mention my cat' Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a slightly familiar voice. "Isn't it a little early for you to be taking a lunch break?" She turned around to see Sesshumaru standing behind her. "Oh, I don't even know what time it is." Kagome whispered as she turned back to the elevator. To her suprise he herd her. "Its about 11."

I think he just over worked me,either that or I am in shock." The elevator stopped on the bottom floor. Sesshumaru stepped from the elevator. Kagome did the same. Sesshamoru turned to Kagome and handed her an information card. "If you feel like suing the jerk just give me a call." said Sesshumaru as he walked towards the front entrance. Kagome blinked, stuffing the card in her pocket she started to walk towards the employee's parking lot. 'I guess I could apply to a restaurant. But then my skills that I went to collage for would go to waist. Maby I could look for a minimum wage job until I find another secretary job. I better start looking today' She checked her watch, it was only 11:15. She could go home and eat then go looking for a job. Her connections list was very limited because Naraku had left little time for her to have a social life. She had Hojo, who she had dated about a year ago, they had stayed friends after they broke up. She had Miroku, who she had met at a bar. He wasn't the best guy in the world but he was friendly. The one mager flaw that Kagome saw in him was that he flirted way to much. That was it. She didn't have any other friends. That was another good thing that she saw in being fired, she know had time to create a social life. She reached her car and pulled out her keys. After starting her car she drove back home. First she would eat lunch then she would call Miroku and see if he new of anyone who could use a secretary. If he didn't know of anyone then she would just go out looking for a temporary job till she found a good one. She went back to her apartment and put her office supplies up in the top of her closet. She then went into the kitchen to get something to eat. Once there she spotted her cat, princess, sitting on the counter. "Are you hungry to? Hold on and I will get you something to eat."She went over to the cabinet and pulled out a can of Friskies cat food. After opening it she placed it on the counter for princess. She then went over to the frig to pick out something for her to eat. Deciding that she wasn't really that hungry she chose to eat a Sandwich. She placed all the things she needed on the table and started to make a Sandwich. She was just opening the Mayo when the phone rang. Standing up she went to the cordless in the living room and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" There was a pause, and then a very familiar voice answered. "Hey cuttie, what are you doing?" "Oh, he Miroku. Well I was actually just about to call you. Niroku fired me today so I was going to ask if you new anyone who was looking for a secretary." Miroku boomed his replie. "That A, he actually fired you. You are the best secretary I ever had. You could come work for me again." Kagome thought for a second, even though she didn't really want to work for him she new that she might not have a choice. "If I can't find a job anywhere else I might have to. Is there anyone else at the office that needs a secretary?" There was another pause of thought. "Well not really. Edd has a secretary, Kira doesn't need one either. I don't think there are any spots open over here except mine." Kagome laughed. "What did you do to the last one? Did you start flirting with her to?" Miroku responded indignantly "No! Why would you think I would do that? Actually she was flirting with me, and when I flirted back she quit." Kagome laughed even harder, he was terrible at lying and she could tell that it had been him doing the flirting. "Well I need to go, I have to start looking for a job. Either that or me and princess won't have food to keep us alive." Miroku paused "Who is princess?" Kagome forgot that she hadn't talked to Miroku for a while and he never new that she had gotten a cat. "Oh thats my new cat. She is so adorable, I love her." Miroku laughed on the other end of the line. "You really need to get out and get some friends if you are resorting to getting pets. You were never able to keep anything alive when you were a kid." Kagome was taken aback "Excuse me but if memory serves me right you kept scaring the crud out of them and they would die of shock. Either that or you would strap a bomb to there backs." It was Mirokus time to sound indignant "I did no such thing!" Kagome laughed crudely "Miroku, You were the one that couldn't keep a pet even if your life depended on it. I really need to go. The more time I waist the more hours I don't have money. I will talk to you later." Miroku sied, "The job will probably be open for a while so if you can't find employment then you know where to turn." Kagome hung up the phone. Kagome turned back to her food and after making a quick Sandwich she walked out of the door. She would eat on the way. She had to find a job.
He woke up to his alarm going off. He hated getting up for work but there was really nothing he could do about it. He had to have money to pay for food and rent. He jumped up and took a quick shower. After getting dressed and eating a fast breakfast he grabbed his car keys and headed towards the office. He speed into the parking lot and found a space close to the door. He was a hot rod when it came to driving. He was carful when he did speed but he never could slow down, the adrenalin would kick in and he would be off. He had gotten pulled over a couple of years back and was getting a ticket when the police officer realized the he was a honyo and got scared. He wasn't even thinking about doing anything to him when he flipped and started to apologize frantically. He ended up calming the man down and got off with just a wornning form the still slightly paranoid officer. He walked up to the double doors and pushed his way through. It was only a one floor building and didn't really attract a lot of business but it was still a job. He walked through the hall way going towards his cubacle when herd someone trying to sneak up on him. He turned around as he said "What do you want this time Miroku?" The said man froze at the shock of being caught trying to sneak up on the honyo. "How did you know it was me?" The hanyo smiled mischievously "Well for one thing you always have this awful stench sticking on you. Seriously, when was the last time you took a bath? For another you are way to loud." Miroku frowned, he didn't smell bad. He just took a shower that morning. "I just took a shower this morning. I ware cologne though." He 'fehd' and started to walk towards his work area. Miroku fallowed close behind. "So Inuyasha, how is your life going?" Inuyasha just ignored his attempt at a conversation. Miroku tried again. "Are you going to try and move up on the ranks?" Inuyasha was getting tiered of Miroku and he had only been there for about ten minutes. "Whats it to you if I am?" Miroku smiled one of his mischievous smiles. "Well I have a friend that needs a job and she is a really good secretary. For some reason she wouldn't come work for me." Miroku looked down at the ground deep in thought on why Kagome didn't want to work for him. He had never done anything to her, except maby flirt but every guy did that when they saw Kagome. Miroku was snapped out of his thoughts when Inuyasha started to speak again. "Well I wonder why. Its not like you treat your secretaries with any kind of respect or anything. You always try and get them to go out with you when they have only known you for a day or two." Miroku frowned "Why is everyone on my back today. Kagome said the same type of thing just a few minutes ago." Inuyash let out a breath "Well, glad to know I'm not the only one who sees it. You really are a lecher when it comes to women." Miroku huffed off to his office. He was one of the ground managers so he got an office to himself while Inuyasha was just an office worker. Miroku would usually get mad when Inuyasha showed up late but he gave up on that when the hanyo didn't show any sign of caring. They organized motorcycle races. Miroku made sure that everything was going good while Inuyasha got a hold of all the racers to verify information. Occasionally they would get the chance to go and watch some of the races but for the most part they just organized them. Inuyasha had always wanted to race but never got the chance to. He figured that if he couldn't race then he could get as close to it as possible. He would take his bike out every once in a while and do some back street racing but that was it. The phone on Inuyashas desk rang and he picked it up to start off his day. After about seven hours of working Inuyasha walked out of the office to his car so he could head home. He was exosted and was ready for bed. He had spent most of the day trying to fix a problem that they had with the track that was going to be used for the next race. Apparently some one had gone in and sabotaged the track till it was not usable for the race that was coming up in three days. Relocating the race was very hard work. He had to call all the sponsors and race men to tell them what happened. He made his way down the street to his house. He seemed to be having bad luck since he hit every single red light. After hitting the red light on fiftieth he decided that he would run the rest of them. While waiting for the light to change he turned on the radio to Pop rock. There was no one else around and the sun had gone down a few hours ago. Inuyasha looked up and saw the light turn green. He was about to press the accelerator when something flew in front of his car, crashing into the windshield. "What the..!"
