Economic Warfare

Perfectly manicure bare feet carried a beautiful woman slowly down the paved street towards a tall skyscraper. A deep wine colored gown lifted to expose perfectly toned long legs as the woman slowly made her way up the stairs. Holding her black suede heels in her left hand she continued to walk towards the building.

As her figure neared the door the light's shown on her face to reveal tear streaks to the concierge whom quickly ushered her inside out of the chilled night air. As she stepped into the beautiful lobby her head held high she walked to the elevator and pressed the up button. Long black locks cascading down her back into a midnight pool ending at her waist.

"Miss. Kagome are you alright, and is there anything we may assist you with this evening?" The desk clerk said from behind her quickly as he stood from his seated position.

'Hugo' she looked up into his young face offering a sad smile, and waved at him. His work uniform a tailor black suit with his name tag.

"I am fine Hugo." She said before turning and continuing to wait for the elevator. Soon enough the doors opened and she stepped forward into the elevator sighing as the cool marble of the floor continued to sooth her feet.

"You have a good evening Miss." She smiled at his sweet antics as the doors shut.

'26' her finger pressed into the button as it lit up and she felt the stead climb of the elevator. Leaning back into the elevator corner she felt herself begin to relax. Closing her eyes she waited until she felt the elevator still and the doors open.

Stepping out of the elevator she turned and slid her key into its slot and locked the doors. Turning she looked at her sanctuary and its home decorators appearance. The view was always breath taking, and that's why she had purchased it.

Smirking she allowed her gown to slide off her shoulders pooling at her feet. A small smile graced her lips as she was left completely nude in the entrance of her high-rise penthouse apartment. Stepping onto the cherry hardwoods she sighed in content as she made her way into the bedroom where her king size bed was made to perfection with a dozen or so pillows lay lazily upon the fluffy bedspread. White chiffon curtains adorned her wall to wall windows, and the stairs twinkled in delight. Her lights were dimmed as she made her way into the bathroom joined to her bedroom.

Her eyes twinkling as the lay upon the claw foot bathtub in the center of the Venetian tiled bathroom. Stepping towards the bathtub she quickly turned the hot water on, and watched as the bath began to fill. She dropped a few dried lavender blossoms into the bath and allowed the aroma to fill the room. Slowly stepping into the bath she felt as her horrible evening floated away into the abyss.

Closing her eyes she sank into the water and felt the anger wash away from her leaving her cleansed and refreshed. She felt her heart begin to clinch within her chest and she heard a sob break from her chest. Anger once again swelled in her eyes, and she stepped from the bath. Quickly getting ready for bed she left the bathroom, and heard her cell phone ringing.

Looking to the blackberry her brow creased as she took notice of her best friend calling at 2 am.

'SANGO' displayed upon the screen and flashing a light purple.

Flipping the phone open quickly she spoke into the device quickly.

"Hey Sango" Kagome answered as emotionless as possible wanting to seem alright to her best friend of 15 years. She immediately heard her friend break into a long angry rant.

"How dare HE do this to YOU? I'll KILL the little fucking ass-h." Sango screamed into the phone as her voice cracked at the last word, and a baby began to cry in the background.

Rolling her eyes she gently tried to calm her friend.

"Sango" She all but hummed into the phone. Soon her friend calmed enough to hear her voice and she rejoiced in the fact her hot tempered friend was listening to her. Lying back onto the bed with her phone to her ear she finally spoke.

"I assure you that I am fine and I will see you tomorrow at work. " Kagome confidently spoke into the phone quickly and hanging up on her friend finally allowing sleep to claim her.

Several Blocks away in a sixty five story building

Papers flew aimlessly in the air as a clawed hand reached for the photo on his desk throwing it out of the door. Standing he paced the room and allowed his aura to expand throughout the building.

"No one is here…. Good" An evil smirk graced his lips as he walked to the door opposite of his own. Reaching for the door knob he slowly tried to turn it and inspect the room. Only to have the knob remain unmoving and causing his anger to rise to new heights.

"AGHHHHHHH" He screamed into the air as he began turning desks over, and trashing the office in his blinded rage. His tux jacket dropped across the desk of his receptionist and his eyes suddenly turned to a warm gold.

"Stop this" A cool voice said as he turned his eyes to his older half brother and growled at the sudden judgment filling his eyes.

"What's it to you Sesshoumaru" The younger man said standing up straight and heading towards his office to slam the door in his elders face.

"I won't allow you to hurt her" Sesshoumaru said stopping the door with ease and allowing himself entrance into his siblings office. Fierce Golden eyes scanned the destruction of the office. Papers throw about everywhere and the leather Armani chase lounger with claw marks down the center.

Inuyasha walked behind his desk and watched as his brother continued to walk about with his eyes glued onto his. Inuyasha took in a shaky breath as if trying to calm his raging blood.

"Fuck off Sesshhh.." A clawed hand gripped his neck slamming him up against the wall and red eyes stared into his. Taking his brother wrist in his hand he gently squeezed it to try and bring his brother out of his rage.

"I'm sorry, and I didn't mean it" Inuyasha all but whimpered to his brother, and felt himself falling to the floor. Watching quietly as his brother turned to him with angry eyes.

"You have three hours to remedy this situation before our employees arrive." Sesshoumaru all but barked at him as his eyes scanned over the office landing on the Chase lounge again. Turning back to Inuyasha his eyes seemed to glow with anger.

"Have the interior decorator fix that sofa or you will be demoted." Sesshoumaru said as he walked out the door and walked into the waiting elevator where is assistant was waiting for him. As the doors shut he looked down at the young woman and his eyes narrowed.

Smelling her silently his eyes widened a fraction as he stepped away from her and looked down at the beautiful woman sharing the small space with him. Chocolate eyes looked up into his as she quickly looked at her feet.

"You had intercourse with my brother last night, and didn't bother to bathe." Sesshoumaru said to her with disdain as his eyebrow rose up in question, and watched as her whole body flushed with embarrassment.

"Mr. Inutashio I believe that my personal life is none of your business." She spat at him as she looked up into his eyes again and smirked.

"That you are correct Kikyo." Sesshoumaru said as he turned to the elevator and took a step towards the double doors as the bell rang and the doors flew open. Sesshoumaru stepped from the elevator into the entrance of his personal floor. Turning he glanced at the woman behind him to see a satisfied grin plastered across her face.

"You're fired, and you will receive no letter of recommendation from the Taisho Corporations." Feeling his inner demon purr out of pure delight as confusion etched itself onto her face and the doors shut separating them before she could protest.

Gracefully walking to his office he gently shut the door and lay back onto the crème suede sofa. Bright eyes drifted shut as he drifted off into sleep. Not hearing the busy lobby 65 floors down as some of the harder working employees flooded into the building for the work day to begin.

Ocean deep blue eyes opened up to slowly focus on lilac wall in her bedroom. Sitting up slightly she took in a deep breath and slipped from the bed. Her toes touched the cool hardwood and sent a chill through her spine as she made her way into her French gourmet kitchen.

Slowly walking to the stainless steel fridge she opened the door and felt another chill run down her spin as the cool air met her face. Reaching for the orange juice her face became grim as she poured what was left inside the carton into a glass. Only 1/4th of a glass was left for her.

"Really?" Her feminine voice asked as she looked up to the heavens her eyebrow twitching slightly.

Drinking the juice quickly she turned towards her bedroom and made her way into her vast walk in closet. Flipping on the light she walked past the shoes and to the back where her hand skimmed through several dress suits before turning around unsatisfied. Anger filled her face as she heard the elevator bell ring, but knew it wouldn't open.

Running quickly through the apartment she pressed her ear to the elevator door.

"Who is it?" Kagome asked harshly through the crack as she heard a small child whimper.

"Kagome, Its Sango." Her friend said breathlessly as she quickly turned the key allowing the doors to open for her friend as a small child cam bounding out.

"AUNT KAGOME!" The sweet little boy yelled as he clutched onto her legs. She lifted him up and kissed his cheek.

"Hey there little man. Go see if there are some of your cookies left in the fridge." Kagome said as he was immediately running towards the kitchen and looked up towards her friend with her arms full of bags and holding two coffees.

"Yeah I love you to. Now help me." Sango barked at her as she handed her a venti iced coffee and walked towards her bedroom. Smiling at her friends back she locked the door and follow close behind.

"What are you doing?" She was shocked to see all the bags her friend had with her and even more surprised to see her laying out different outfits.

"You're not leaving this house without looking like a bombshell." Sango exclaimed as her Chocolate eyes scanned her up and down only to smile as she fell back onto her light maroon lounger.

"Your worry about me too much Sango, and how much money did you spend on all of this?" Her blue eyes met chocolate ones as she pointed to each outfit and matching shoes until her eyes landed on the last bag. Which Sango hadn't emptied and looked at it questioningly.

"You would just get angry if I told you, and plus I already know which outfit your going to choose. The ones on the bed are mine." Sango said to her pointedly as she looked to the bag and back up to her under her lashes. Kagome knew that look, and smirked to her friend.

"Do you know me so well?" Kagome said as she walked towards the bag only to have it snatched from its spot and behind her best friends back with that evil look spread across her face.

"You can't have it until you promise me something." Sango said as she lifted her latte to her lips and took a cautious sip. Kagome raised her eyebrow and giggled as she walked towards her friend to get the bag.

"What's the promise Sango" Kagome asked as she grabbed the bag and walked back to sit on her bed sucking the coffee through the light green straw.

'She will never break a promise to me' Sango thought to herself as she finally let the words slip from her lips.

"You can never take him back, and I mean it."

Kagome's eyes ripped from the bag up to her friends as she felt her heart drop in her chest. Sango suddenly stood and hugged her tightly.

"You deserve so much more than him cheating Kagome. So much more and I know it hurts. Let me help you get through this. We are all here for you." Sango said into the crown of Kagome's head as she felt tears slipping down her chest.

"I promise." She her the woman within her arms whisper as she released her and sat back onto the floor. Pointing to the bag Sango looked her in the eyes once more, and smiled.

"It's yours now." With that fraise falling from her close friends' lips she opened the bag Blue eyes looking side. Eyes widened as she lifted the Ralph Lauren Black Label Clarissa Cream with black button front worsted wool skirt into the air and her jaw dropped as she turned to her friend speechless.

"Made in Italy." Sango said pointing to the skirt smiling at her friend. Her hand resting over her heart as her friend smiled at her.

After positioning the skirt on the end of the bed gently she looking back into the bag and lifted a black cashmere turtleneck with ribbed trim from the bottom.

"Cashmere Oh My GOD SANGO!" Kagome jumped up and down with excitement as she knocked her friend over in a hug. Kissing her on the cheek and two women continued to laugh in the floor.

"Aunt Kagome, Mom." Both women turned to the little boy standing in the door way with a glass of milk, and a plate of cookies.

"Hey Buddy!" Kagome said as she jumped up and walked over to him with a big smile!

"You're out of milk now." Kagome giggled as she patted him on the head and walked into the closet laughing at her nephew whom was confused.

Kagome looked out the door and walked back to the bed retrieving the new outfit her best friend got her. Turning back to the closet she looked at her friend who was looking at her with determination etched onto her face. Brown eyes meeting blue in a standoff as Sango glanced at the wall of shoes within Kagome's closet.

"Go pick a pair out." Kagome laughed as her friend ran into her closet and started to scan over the shoes. Knowing that her friend was going to be looking for awhile she started to dress herself.

Reaching into a draw under her sunglass case she pulled out a black lace Victoria Secret bra and matching thong quickly finding their place on her body. Reaching into the draw behind her she pulled the sheer black panty hose free and fought her way into them. Looking to the Cashmere shirt she slid it over her head and into place and kagome realized it was tight making her chest seem large. Looking to the skirt she smiled as she slipped into it and zipped it up the side.

Looking into the mirror she pulled her hair into a French twist with a few strands remaining around her face.

It was a pencil skirt and caused her waist to look small, and knew it would drive him crazy. Looking to her friend she walked towards her with a pair of black and white Beijo pumps. Sleeping her feet into them she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at her friend whom sat back gawking at her.

"He is going to die when he see's you." Sango said as she started to help Kagome with her makeup.

"What are you going to do with it?" Sango questioned her as she lifted Kagome's petite hand into the air inspecting the 4 carat flawless engagement ring that lay elegantly upon her hand.

"I will be returning it to him Sango." Kagome said as an evil smirk graced her lips and

took one last look at herself in the mirror before turning and walking out of the closet.

"Knock em dead!" Sango shouted at her as she left the apartment and headed to the office. Falling back onto the floor out of exhaustion she looked at her son whom was quietly eating his cookies and watching cartoons.

"So cute." Sango whispered to herself as she started to try on the different shoe collections of her best friend.

The sound of a powerful walk could be heard echoing throughout the lobby as people made way for the one and only person they didn't want to see. They knew she was in a fowl mood, and none wished to end up on her bad side if the rumors circulating where true about the events at the gala many people would be fired today perhaps even murdered.

People left the elevator as she stepped inside, and watched as she removed her sunglasses to show fierce blue eyes. Perfect Smokey eye makeup, blood red lips, and high cheekbones looking out at the crowd she pressed the '66' button. Watching as metal doors closed in front of the prying crowd and the elevator took her to the one person she had to see at the moment.

Tapping her foot impatiently as she waited for the doors to open she looked at her reflection in the mirror's within the elevator. Smoothing out her wrinkleless skirt she turned towards the doors as they slowly opened. Walking into the quiet office she knocked lightly on the frosted door.

"Come in." Came a rough, and tired sounding voice. Her hand began to turn the knob as she slowly looked back as the elevator doors closed. It was now or never. Determination filled her sapphire eyes as she stepped inside and shut the door behind her.
