Author's Note: So I decided to type up a new story. The plot has been nagging me for a long time now and I just had to get it out of my system. There will be some twists and turns in this story, which may come unexpected along the way. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: As always, I do not own Inuyasha.

Three years ago

"Promise me, Kagome, promise me."

"What is it uncle?"

He gave out a weak cough before sinking back down into the pillows on the hospital bed he currently resided in.

"My company," he rasped.

Kagome clutched onto his hand tighter. "Yes uncle? What is it?"

"I want you – you to take over – "

"I – I – I don't – " she stammered helplessly.

Her beloved uncle gave another loud cough that lasted for a few moments. Kagome patted his back, tears in her eyes. When he was able to look her in the eye again, his urgent voice was stronger than it had been in weeks, fueled by his determination to make his last wish known before he passed over to the other side.

"Kagome, you are the only Higurashi left that is capable of leading my company. Sota's still a child, and the only person I could ever trust something as dear to me is you. You're getting your MBA in a month, so I know you can handle it."

"But uncle, your company is the third largest in the industry around the globe. I can't possibly, I mean, I'm too young to – "

"No child, don't interrupt. It doesn't matter how much experience you have. Take Microsoft as an example. If you have the determination, you will succeed. I will always be by your side."

Kagome could not refuse her uncle on his deathbed.

"Okay uncle, I will do it."

He sighed as he closed his eyes momentarily. "One last thing, fulfill my dream for me. Miko has only two rivals in the fashion industry, all the others cannot possibly be a threat. Attain a higher market share than Shikon and Takahashi Corporation. I want to see Miko shine as the best company in the world. Do you understand?"

Kagome saw that his uncle was nearing to his last breath. "Yes, uncle, I will do everything I can to fulfill your wish."

He nodded and sighed. "Good, Kagome, and farewell. I shall always look upon you and take care of you. And thank you."

Ten minutes later, Kagome came out of her uncle's hospital room with tears flowing down her cheeks in a continuous stream.

Present Day

Victory was so going to be hers.

As Kagome Higurashi walked smartly towards her own personal office, reveling in how her four-inch heels gave a satisfying clip clop all along the way, a smile made its way to her full lips. Her secretary, Ayame Wolfe, was sitting cross-legged with her cell phone in one hand and her lipstick in another. Once she caught sight of her boss, she let out an audible "Oh shit!" and attempted to stuff both her cell phone and lipstick into her purse, while also trying to look as if she was busy typing away. She failed miserably. Kagome only raised her eyebrows as Ayame stuttered a squeaky "Morning Miss Higurashi" before Kagome slammed her door shut.

On her desk was a bouquet of red roses.

"What the – AYAMEEE!"

Her secretary timidly knocked and entered.

"What's the meaning of this? Didn't I say no more receiving gifts from that insolent jerk?"

Ayame's eyes widened at the stunning flower arrangement that withered under her boss's glare. "I swear I had no idea at all that these were here. And I came here at seven this morning."

Kagome sighed. So he had outwitted her again.

"Fine. Prepare my coffee, and I want the file for today's meeting on my desk in an hour."

"Yes ma'am." Ayame left her office briskly.

Kagome sighed as she sank into her chair. What started as a pleasant morning turned out horrible. She had received an e-mail that morning from one of her biggest clients, saying that they wanted to extend their contract. As the youngest woman to inherit a business, Kagome was succeeding and reaching heights she had never imagined three years ago. Fresh out of university, she had taken over one of the most renowned businesses ever – the famous glamourous intimidating fashion brand, Miko – as requested by her beloved uncle on his deathbed. At first, everyone had raised their eyebrows and was prepared to criticize the young girl who had barely any experience. However, her appearance only led to Miko becoming even more successful, its market share increasing every year.

Then the heavens parted and in came the most sinful looking man that ever graced the earth.

Inuyasha Takahashi. The heir of Takahashi Corporation. The biggest rival Miko had always faced and the biggest one that Miko would ever face. Shikon Limited was no longer a threat as Miko climbed up the ladder and made billions more than Shikon every year. The Takahashi brand was as renowned as Miko was, with spoiled teenagers of business tycoons swooning over their hot products. The sold basically everything that appealed to teens, and had franchised their famous brand all around the world.

Their first encounter was oh-so-interesting that made Kagome see red even when she thought about it now. It was a month of taking over the business when she had to attend some annual fund-raising event. Sure, everyone had heard about her, Kagome Higurashi, who was so young and inexperienced in the business world, but few of her rivals knew what she looked like. Including Inuyasha Takahashi.

She was just coming out of the bathroom when she collided into him. As his arms steadied her, he took one look at her curvaceous figure and whispered in her ear "How about a quickie?". The next moment he was curled onto the ground, clutching at his crotch in great pain. Kagome had snarled back a loud "What do you take me for you pervert!" before returning back to her table. Of course she knew who he was. His face was printed all over the city – magazines, billboards, posters, TV advertisements you-name-it. He was so strikingly handsome that he mostly preferred to star in his advertisements – which successfully lured in thousands of screaming fangirls.

So when Kagome was invited up on the stage to give a small speech of feeling welcome in this new social sphere, her eagerness to join, blah blah blah, she noted how his jaw literally dropped to the floor as soon as he realized who he had tried to get a quick lay with. However, Kagome's triumph was short lasting as a cunning smirk made its way to his features. And that was how her life turned into her worst nightmare.

Somehow, he got hold of her personal phone number and e-mail, and proceeded to annoy the life out of her every day, including weekends, public holidays, and the days when she proceeded to change her phone number. "Speak of the devil," she thought with a huff as her phone rang.

"Good morning Miko Corporation how may I help you?" she faked a cheery, innocent voice.

"Well, if you insist on helping me, I do have a few things on my mind." The lust in his voice was evident.

Kagome continued in her bright voice. "I'm sorry sir but we don't have any prostitutes available here. Wrong number?" before she slammed the receiver down.

That was only the beginning of the phone calls. Her phone kept on ringing as Ayame came in.

"Your coffee, ma'am."

"Just put it down here."

Ayame put the cup down but gave her boss a queer look. "Uh Miss Higurashi? Isn't your phone ringing…?"

"Ignore it."

Ayame nodded uncertainly before rushing out of the room. Finally, the ringing got the better of her and she plucked up the phone and yelled "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

Silence.

"I-I would like to t-talk to Miss Kagome Higurashi please." A trembling voice that was unfamiliar came from the other end.

Kagome mentally facepalmed herself as she gathered her wits. "Um, sorry about that, please wait a moment." She used a fake voice, not wanting whoever that was on the other end to know it had been the Kagome Higurashi who had just yelled at him.

She switched back to her professional, no nonsense voice before speaking into the receiver coolly, "Kagome Higurashi speaking how may I help you?"

"Good morning Miss Higurashi. I'm the manager of the Human Resources Department at Takahashi Corporation, Miroku Houshi. I'll get straight to the point. I'm sure that you've noticed both Miko and Takahashi Corp are booming, and both companies are striving for a higher market share. Would it be possible if you considered merging with our company?"

Kagome blanked out for a moment. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"

"I think it would be extremely beneficial for both firms should a merger occur. Besides, our company would be honoured to work with a reverend firm like yours. I hope you'll think it through."

"I- I'm not so sure yet, I would have to consult the board of directors for Miko."

"That's fine."

"And Mr. Houshi? Can I ask why you would happen to be the one telling me about this. I mean, shouldn't Inu – uh someone else be responsible for this?"

The man chuckled. "Mr. Takahashi was fully aware that you would not even listen to him for ten seconds and you'd definitely refuse to a merger on the spot. So as his friend, he barked at me to call you." There was a pause. "In fact he's right here beside me."

A string of curses was heard from the other end as Kagome digested what she had just heard. A merger. With Takahashi. Her thoughts were interrupted when a furious "Give me the phone!" came and immediately afterwards, the most annoying voice was heard.

"So Kags, think about it eh? It would be so good to see you every day, infuriate you some more and get you to consider some hot office sex in – "

Kagome slammed the receiver down without further ado. Her life was about to become a living hell. Literally.

Two hours later, Ayame came in with an extra large folder in her hands.

"Here's the file you wanted."

"Thanks Ayame," Kagome flipped it open and scanned its contents, before her eyes lit up. "Is that a huge percentage increase in our profits that I see?"

Ayame nodded. "I got this file fresh from the Finance Department. It's 100% reliable."

"My God, did you take a look at this! We made ten billion more than last year! That'll mean we beat Takahashi Corp since they only made two billion more than us last year!" Kagome squealed with joy.

Ayame remained impassive, which caught Kagome's attention after a minute.

"What is it Ayame, bad news?"

"Not exactly, but promise me you'll let me get out of your office before you start throwing things around?"

"Spill it, I'm ready for anything now that I've seen this baby," Kagome smiled, weighing the precious file in her hands.

"The truth is, Takahashi Corp had a few new advertising campaigns throughout the year. They also launched an average of five new products in each branch of their company. They made more than we did." Ayame gulped as she took a step back, preparing to run for it.

Everyone at Miko knew about Kagome Higurashi's obsession to outstrip Takahashi Corporation out of its name as the biggest company. This was going to be bad. Very bad.

Kagome's hearts stopped. "No, this cannot possibly be happening," she thought, cold sweat running down her forehead. No.

"How much?"

"Six point three billion."

Kagome growled, her hand clenching into a tight fist. Ayame walked quickly out the door before her boss could say anything else. A deafening shattering came from within just as Ayame arrived at her seat. It had begun.

Kagome was going to get the better of Inuyasha Takahashi, that was for sure. She would beat the hell out of him before she admitted defeat. With preferably six point three billion kicks.

... Anndddd that's the first chapter! What do you guys think about it? Tell me through clicking that nice box down there and typing away!
