Chapter 1-life is ever so deceiving-

"Oh! I can so not believe this is happening!" a woman of about 23 years old squealed in joy.

No, I can't either Kagome!" another woman chuckled, her friends humor seemed to be contagious.

"Oh, Sango you're so mean!" Kagome pouted in hopes of stirring some sympathy from her friend.

"I was kidding around you know!"

"I am still in shock! I cannot believe I got an interview at one of the biggest Corporations in Japan!" Sango smiled encouragingly.

"Let's go, I don't want to be late! Do think we have time to stop for coffee?"

Meanwhile….

"Starbucks! Dead ahead!" Sango pointed while they both giggled, they had a easy going friendship.

Sango drove her Bentley GT leisurely, not to mention it was a gift from her fiancée.

Miroku, Sango and Kagome became best friends after Kagome's father, Naraku Higurashi, moved back to Japan because of a divorce with her mother, Jennifer Higurashi (Borina).

Every summer, Kagome would visit her father in Japan (Tokyo) and there she met her best friend for the rest of her life- Sango Taijia, who was also eleven.

Then after turning eighteen, she moved to Japan, graduated Tokyo University at 22 where she met Ashirii Makashino -next best friend for the rest of her life, and now applying for a job at the biggest company in Japan-Taisho Corp.

Sango Parked her car, bolted for the label door, and walked into a fresh scent of coffee filling her nose.

"Ugh! It smells so good!" Kagome whined in pleasure. She was happy her day started off on such a good foot.

"You whine too damn much!" Sango smirked slyly, as Kagome had a look of rage upon her face but as quickly as it had come it disappeared. A look of mischievous delight replaced it.

"Haha…you are just so funny Sani!"

A nickname Kagome used when she wanted to piss Sango off, and it worked every single time.

"One Large frappicino, Vanilla, whipped cream, heavy on the syrup and coffee based, please."

Kagome ordered and Sango did the same, " One Large Mocha, no whipped cream, please."

They chatted about Inuyasha and Ashirii and other mindless things like that.

All of the sudden, Kagome turns around and spills her coffee all over some guy's pants without any intention of such.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!"

"Silence! What an unnecessary inconvenience. Now I have to go to work in soiled clothing. Remove yourself from my presence; your insolence for such actions is intolerable."

Kagome stood there, stunned and shocked by the audacity of the man before her. The level of arrogance that emanated from him was just unbelievable.

"Excuse me…WENCH IS NOT MY NAME! AND I SAID I WAS SORRY YOU ASSHOLE!" she snarled.

"Hold your tongue wench, it's the least you could do. Judging from your state of dress, you obviously can't afford a new Armani suit let alone the one you just ruined." He growled, his eyes showing how just how much he cared about her. It wasn't very much.

"I maybe poor, but at least I'm not some pompous asshole who was never taught proper manners!" she screamed at him, all her anger and fury poured in that one sentence.

" SANGO! We're leaving. I can't stand this jerk."

Sango was a little scared… " I said we're leaving. NOW."

Kagome hissed not while sparing an angry glare at the silver haired man, pulled a horrified Sango out the door and to her car

"Can you believe the nerve of that guy?" Kagome fumed, she couldn't even understand why people like that even thought they were allowed to treat other people as if they were below them.

"Calm down, Kagome." Sango cooed, but her attempts were in vain. There was obviously no way Kagome was going to calm down if her anger kept increasing at this rate.

"Why in the seven hells-" " Number one, you are a emotional wreak, two- your face is all red and three- you have a very important job interview to go to." Kagome heard three and calmed down. Her levels of irrational anger decreasing by the second, Kagome was wise to listen to her friend. It would only benefit her in the long run.

"We're here…good luck, Gome." Sango grinned, a nickname that had stuck for 10 years and one that had always managed to make Kagome happy.

"Thanks, Sango. I don't know what I'd do without you and Rii. You guys are my best friends."

Kagome smiled genuinely and walked confidently into the building.

"Hey Gomz!" Kagome heard that disgusting voice…. Kagura…oh God knows how she hated Kagura.

"Hi, Kagura." She faked a smile. Normally she didn't like doing this, but for Kagura she'd make an exception.

"I didn't know you were the one who scheduled an interview! How'd you manage that? This company is only for…the higher ups and well you don't really qualify do you?" Kagura said sarcastically in a bitchy tone, a smile plastered onto her lips along with god knows what else.

"Oh really? Well how'd you get a job here because I didn't know that spreading you legs was a skill that's required? "Kagome shot back, a delightful respectful and polite smile on her face as if she didn't say what just passed her lips.

Kagura just hissed at her before saying,

"Take the elevator up to the 47th floor. Hopefully you won't come back down."

"Why thank you, Kagura. Maybe you'll fall down the stairs with those stripper heels on." Kagome replied as she confidently walked away, a smug smile gracing her face. Oh yes, today would be very interesting.

But as she was rising up, She saw another face that made her gag. What was this place? Whore Central? Yura looked bad and easy enough to be Kagura's twin. Go figure the two were best friends.

"Well, look what the nasty infectious cat dragged in! Yura giggled, trying to act sweet and innocent…. But anyone intelligent and observant could see through that in a second.

"Ah well if it isn't Kagura's equally ugly and easy twin! How wonderful to see you, Yura." Kagome managed to pull off sounding polite and caring. Yura just snarled before saying,

"Door twelve on your right, if I never saw you again that would be the highlight of my life."

Kagome began walking away and made a Yura and Kagura impression, but stopped by door twelve."

'Here goes' She thought as she exhaled the air she didn't even know she held inside her lungs.

Kagome quietly knocked on door twelve.

"Hello?" She asked before she walked in, "Miroku! I didn't know-" she gasped in shock as she took in the scene before her.

"There's a lot of things you don't know my dear." The businessman replied cockily as a wink and a smirk graced his playboy like features.

"Care to explain?"Kagome glared. "Alright, I don't need to interview you. I know you need it and will work the nose to get your hands on it, my dear. So by being quite the amazing man that I am, I'm saving you the trouble and hassle. You start on Monday of next week." He stated quite bored, but couldn't keep the smile from working its way into his expression.

"Oh, thank you Miroku!" she exclaimed excitedly as she hugged him for dear life, when her face turned extremely red. She knew as much as she hoped he'd stop groping her- the playboy never would.

"MIROKU!" Slap! There seemed to be a red mark always tattooed to Miroku's face. Go figure.

"You hentai! Get your hand off my ass or I will remove it from where your arm IS placed-I will refuse to feel any guilt for you…" she growled with quite an angry expression marring usually beautiful features.

" Kagome I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself. Besides, that's no way to talk to your superior!" He feigned horror as if he was so innocent and no wrong could ever fall into his actions. HA!

Then, Inuyasha walked in, "Hey, Miroku?"

"Inu! You both work here. Good kami I'm doomed." Kagome sighed dejectedly but a playful smile dancing on her lips. "Thanks Kags!" he smiled as playfully nudged her arm and pulled her into a hug.

" I'm working with you two now so I would really like it if I didn't get pulled into anything stupid, please!"

Both men broke into many fits of laughter. "I happen to just be making a statement! Stop laughing at me!"

"Inuyasha and I have never committed a stupid action before in our entire lives, Kagome. WE are innocent!" Miroku mocked her, as Inuyasha and himself laughed even more.

So, Kagome left Miroku's office, bumped into and fell quite ungracefully to the floor, "Wench."

"Hello, ASSHOLE." Kagome snarled up at the man with silver hair. Somehow, he looked more attractive in dry clothing. But, he was still a pompous jerk who's arrogance shot through the roof.

She stood from her embarrassing position and pretended as if she hadn't just fallen on her ass. "What pre tell are you doing in my building? The likes of your station hardly-" his tone was nonchalant and uncaring..

"Listen here! Likes of my station? Just because you have more money than I do at the moment doesn't mean-." She groaned.

"I am the vice president of Taisho Corp. of course I am above your station. Foolish woman, now remove yourself from my path." Her eyes widened slightly, partly from his rudeness and now knowing that he owned this company.

"Get out of my way, wench," Sesshomaru growled.

"Gladly."She replied as he watched her retreating form but watched long enough to see her bump into yet another person or rather two.

"Hey, Kagome. You alright?" Inuyasha asked as he helped her up.

"Really? Second damn time in one day…"She mumbled to herself..

"Half breed, you know this onna?" Sesshoumaru questioned as he strode to the trio over quickly but grace oozing from his every step.

"Yea, she's Miroku's as well as my friend. Why?"

Sesshoumaru smirked deviously before speaking; "She's the unintelligent bitch who spilled coffee over my suit." Kagome froze where she stood, fury clearly written into her trembling form. Inuyasha replied,

"You're the one who spilled coffee over dickhead's balls? Congrats." He didn't realize that she wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"Unintelligent, huh? A bitch? Excuse me for not realizing my oh so horrible mistake. I'll do my best to make sure I don't ruin anymore "Armani" suits." she spat furiously, her words sharper than any knife.

"It would do you well to realize that." Sesshoumaru glared down at her as he luxuriously walked from the scene.

At that instant she regretted the words she had just spoken, upsetting the vice president of the company she now had a job at was a HUGE mistake. But she couldn't take it back now.

"Damn it!" she mumbled under her breath as her friends stood by her side.

"Those were brave word, Kagome." Miroku stated approvingly as he laid a hand on her shoulder. Kagome's face burned with fury and embarrassment.

"But idiotic as well, don't you agree?" She whispered, boy was she kicking herself in the ass right now.

"But still brave. Do not forget that." He reassured her with Inuyasha smiling at her in agreement.

"Anyone who has the guts to stand up to my brother like that has my instant respect." Inuyasha smiled wickedly, planning something sinister in his head.

"Let's hope my bravery doesn't cost me a job I need right now." she asked becoming quite agitated in her situation.

"I'm sure it won't Kags." She sighed but all she could do was hope,

"Kagome….there is one way to get back on his good side. But I don't think you could do it." Inuyasha winked at her. Egging her to challenge him, a wicked grin played on her lips as her competitive spirit kicked in.

"What would that be, Inuyasha?"

"Go on a date with old fluff ball over there and help him…loosen up more." He smirked as he thoughtfully put together the right words for that statement.

"You're on." Kagome responded, growing tired of the games.

She was gonna raise hell for that bastard. He just didn't know it yet. If Inuyasha wanted to dance then she'd show him only her expert moves. Immediately, both men were scared shitless as that grin stayed plastered to her face.

"Just don't expect a free show, boys." She grinned while Inuyasha and Miroku thought horribly uncensored thoughts and managed to remember their fiancées and shook out of it.

"Good night, you two." Kagome waved with a smirk as the two just looked at each other in disbelief.
