Chapter one: Promise of a Lifetime
The tallest building in the area was towering over a certain raven haired beauty. She stared at it in nervousness not knowing what made her come here today. She took a deep breath and opened the front entrance to find that it was beautifully decorated with ancient artifacts and wonders of the world. The high ceiling was painted similar to the Sisten Chapel. The walls had statues of the ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses.
The raven haired beauty walked up to the security counter. She didn't know why she was doing this, but she thought that this interview with her boss's best friend could prove to be helpful in finding a new job. The woman looked up at the security personnel and smiled brightly.
"Hello", the woman said in a deep sexy voice, "my name is Kagome Higurashi. I have an appointment with Mr. Taisho."
One of the men looked up and smiled back. He was a slender man with long brown hair and friendly face. He looked to be no less than twenty five years old. His eyes were a bright blue that resembled the ocean on a calm night. He then put out his hand to shake hands with the woman now known as Kagome.
"Hi, my name is Kouga Hayashibara", the man said smiling brightly, "I'm the head of Security here at Inu Incorporated."
Kagome was shocked by the friendliness of the security guard. In all the company buildings she has been in no one was that nice to her. Well, that wasn't true. There was one company that was nice but it just creeped her out. Houjo was the one that creeped her out the most. He was always giving her gifts and things that would make her relax better. Kagome shuddered at the thought of getting another foot massager from him.
Kouga eyed the lady in front of him. She was truly a beauty in the eyes of man, or demon in this case. She had a short lavender skirt that flirted out at the knees. The white blouse she was wearing was very figure hugging. He was tempted to just unbutton some of those buttons to see what all he could get out of this creature in front of him.
Kouga picked up the phone to tell his boss that Kagome Higurashi was here and waiting in the lobby and to just call to let him know when to send her up. He stared at her for about thirty seconds before hearing the phone ring. He answered it and instructed Kagome to go to the elevator and to head to the top floor.
Kagome walked into the elevator with no one in there and pressed number 56. She was bored so she started singing a song she heard on the radio this morning.
The
kisses of the sun
were sweet I didn't blink
I let it in my
eyes
like an exotic drink
the radio playing songs
that I
have never heard
I don't know what to say
oh not another
word
just la la la la la
it goes around the world
just la la
la la la
it's all around the world
just la la la la la
and
everybody's singin'
la la la la la
and now the bells are
ringin'
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
Inside
an empty room
my inspiration flows
now wait to hear the
tune
around my head it goes
the magic melody
you want to
sing with me
just la la la la la
the music is the key
and
now the night is gone
still it goes on and on
so deep inside of
me
I long to set it free
I don't know what to do
just can't
explain to you
I don't know what to say
oh not another
word
just la la la la la
it goes around the world
just la la
la la la
it's all around the world
just la la la la la
and
everybodys singin'
la la la la la
and now the bells are
ringin'
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
The
kisses of the sun
around, around, around, around, around, around,
around the world
la la la la la
it goes around the
world
just la la la la la
it's all around the world
just la
la la la la
and everybodys signin'
la la la la la
and now
the bells are

The elevator dinged as she came to floor 56. She walked to the secretary and said she was here to see Mr. Taisho. The secretary smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Taisho has been expecting you all day Miss. Higurashi."
" Oh really? Well I'm looking forward to seeing him. By the way my name is Kagome." Kagome said smiling.
"Oh how rude of me. My name is Skye Rose." The secretary named Skye said smiling.
Kagome noticed that this lady wasn't like anybody else she has encountered. Skye had bluish whitish hair and bright green eyes. She was very petite and was shorter than Kagome. She was maybe four feet and ten inches in height.
"You can go in now Kagome." Skye smiled one last time before turning to her work.
Kagome nodded and headed toward the door. She hesitated then knocked on the door. When she heard an enter she straightened her skirt and opened the door. She was shocked to say the least by the sight of the office. It was nothing like the lobby downstairs. This was more vibrant and full of life.
"My Kagome dear you have grown since I've last saw." said a familiar voice sitting in the chair behind the desk.
"InuTaisho papa it's been awhile too." Kagome said running to man known as InuTaisho.
I
have fallen to my knees
As I sing a lullaby of pain
I'm
feeling broken in my melody
As I sing to help the tears go away
Then I remember the pledge you made to me
Kagome hugged him and smiled. InuTaisho was the father of her best friend InuYasha. He was also the father to her crush Sesshoumaru. InuYasha and Sesshoumaru looked exactly like their father. InuTaisho's hair and eyes are as unique as Skye's. His hair is silver but in the light it looks silvery blue. His eyes were a striking gold. They could look into your soul and know everything about you with one look.
InuTaisho chuckled. "So how is my favorite daughter?"
Kagome smiled and told him about school and her job. She was so excited about seeing her papa again. He was the father she never had. When her parents died he took her in. Then she went to college and got a job and didn't have time to get in touch with him.
While Kagome was talking to InuTaisho Sesshoumaru walked in and stood by the door nonchalantly. He didn't recognize who was sitting at the chair across from his father's desk. When the woman finished she laughed.
I
know you're always there
To my every prayer inside
I'm
clinging to the promise of a lifetime
I hear the words you say
To never walk away from me and leave behind
The promise of a
lifetime
Sesshoumaru knew that laugh. It was his crush Kagome. He would never admit he had a crush on her for she was his half-brother's best friend. She also considered his father hers as well.
InuTaisho looked up smiling at his son. When Kagome noticed this she turned around to find Sesshoumaru standing there. She did the unexpected and ran and hugged Sesshoumaru. He was caught off guard but embraced her back.
"Sesshoumaru I missed you"
"I missed you too Kagome"
Will
you help me fall apart
Pick me up, take me in your arms
Find
my way back from the storm
And you show me how to grow
Through
the change
I still remember the pledge you made to me
Sesshoumaru kissed Kagome on the cheek and released her to look back at his father. He found his father smirking at what he just did. Kagome released him and then remembered why she was here for.
"Oh goodness I forgot what I was here for. Papa your always doing that to me." She laughed.
InuTaisho and Sesshoumaru chuckled at the ever forgetfully Kagome.
"Oh the job I was telling you about told me to come down here to get an interview with you." She said going on and on about how the interview was for the upcoming magazine. She was so excited that her Papa was going to be in the magazine that she couldn't let just anyone do the interview. She was there for hours and was only interrupted by her stomach. InuTaisho then chuckled and took her and Sesshoumaru out for lunch.
After Lunch
Kagome went to InuTaisho's house and went to her room to sleep. She was stopped by a little girl crying. She ran to where she heard the crying come from. It was coming from the room next to hers. She could hear the little girl trying to talk to a servant. Kagome knocked on the door hoping to help. The door opened to find Jakken the imp she tortured when she was younger standing at the door.
"Wench what are you doing here?" Jakken said disrespectfully.
"None of your business Jakken now please move before I make you and you know I will." Kagome threatened as Jakken moved aside allowing her to go to the girl.
Kagome looked at the girl and smiled warmly. The little girl was only seven years old and had her raven hair half up and pulled to the side. She was adorable. The little girl had on a green dress.
"Why are you crying?" Kagome asked concerned.
"Rin is crying because Rin misses Rin's Papa." Rin said crying even harder.
Kagome hugged Rin and rocked her. While Rin was crying Kagome started to cry. They were crying together.
"Rin-chan my name is Kagome" she said kindly.
"Do you know Rin-chan's Papa?" she asked while wiping the tears away.
"Who is your Papa, Rin-chan?"
Right at that moment Sesshoumaru decided to make his presence known. He had heard crying and saw Jakken scowling. He decided to see why his daughter was crying.
"She is my daughter Kagome." Sesshoumaru said scaring Kagome.
Kagome turned around as Rin ran to Sesshoumaru and hugged him. He patted her head with soften eyes. Rin was telling him about her day.
Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru with fallen eyes. Alas she was too late. Part of her trip was to tell Sesshoumaru her feelings but she could tell he was mated and had a child.
Kagome walked out of the room and was heading to hers when a hand caught her wrist and pulled her back.
"Why are you sad, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked while holding her in his arms.
"Sesshoumaru, you said she was your daughter so that must mean you are mated." Kagome said pulling out of his embrace.
"I have no mate, Kagome. Rin is my adopted daughter. I found her at an orphanage about three years ago when I went to find something for the company building." Sesshoumaru said missing the warmth of Kagome against him.
"So you are not mated, but do you have a girlfriend?" Kagome asked with curiosity.
"Kagome you know no one would be able to handle Sesshoumaru when he's all high and mighty." Came a voice behind Sesshoumaru.
"INUYASHA!!!!" She yelled making the demons wince.
"Sorry forgot about the hearing," Kagome said hugging InuYasha, "so I hear you're more of a trouble maker than when we were younger."
Sesshoumaru held back a growl at his younger half-brother. It just made him so angry when he got more attention than Sesshoumaru. He knew that they were best friends but that was his woman.
"Well Kagome I'm late for work but I'll see you later. Bye Fluffy" Inuyasha said running down the stairs before Sesshoumaru could chase him.
At that Sesshoumaru growled. InuYasha would pay for that when he got home. He turned to Kagome and pulled her to his chest.
I
am holding on to the hope I have inside
With you I will stay
through every day
Putting my understanding aside
And I am
comforted
"Kagome you have no idea how much I missed you"
Kagome was shocked speechless, but what made it worse was that Sesshoumaru kissed her on the lips. She has been dreaming about this moment for the longest time.
Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshoumaru's neck. He brought her closer and deepened the kiss further. They both never thought that this would happen, that they would be with their crush kissing each other. They didn't break apart until they ran out of breath.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru just stood there holding each other in their arms. After awhile Sesshoumaru picked her up and carried her down to the living room. When they got to the living room Sesshoumaru set Kagome down on the couch then went to the kitchen to get them some drinks. When he returned Kagome was watching an old tap movie called 42nd street. Sesshoumaru handed Kagome her drink then sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She leaned into his touch. Once she finished her drink she fell asleep in Sesshoumaru's arms. Sesshoumaru noticed this and laid down on the black leather couch. He set his drink on the coffee table then cut off the television . His last though before sleep claimed him was 'Kagome I promise that I will not let you go in any lifetime'.
It's me again with my next story tell me what ya think!!!!
