"Good morning Sesshomaru! It's so beautiful outside today." Kagome sang

It's been raining all week with a low of 20 degrees what's wrong with this girl?

The demon chose to ignore her then continued reading over some envelopes he hadn't gotten around to reading yesterday. Wait a second this is the reason I hired her in the first place.

"Here" he lifted the papers towards her. "Go over these and decide what should be done." Sesshomaru watched her skim through the contents of the envelopes.

"But sir-"she started and his eyes narrowed. "Problem Higurashi?"

"Well yeah… it's just that these are invitations on the same day." She looked slightly amused and that aggravated him further "Invitations where?"

"To your daughter's wedding and to Naraku's Gala."

"We will attend the Gala." Now it was her turn to raise an eyebrow at her employer." I was under the impression you hated Naraku's guts." She shifted slightly

"I strongly dislike him Higurashi, there is a difference." He stated

"Not really." She retorted

"What was that?"

"Nothing... It's just wouldn't you rather see your daughter on her wedding day?" There will be other Galas."

"I do not see the point in attending, my father never came to my wedding." He replied

"Well the wedding ends at 5 and the Gala starts at 7 so we can kill two birds with one stone then!"

"Hn… Maybe" he eyed her carefully before narrowing his eyes in irritation at the ringing of his cell phone.

Geez whats with the change in attitude? She thought

Although kagome was curious, she didn't dwell on it for long. Whatever it was she knew Sesshomaru could deal with it. Turning on her heels she went back to go through some files.

"What do you want now?" he snapped

….

"I will be there on time don't worry Kagura."

…..

"My secretary has nothing to do with this. I'd appreciate it if you'd mind your own business woman."

Not that I'm ease dropping or anything but are they talking about me? I tried to stifle a laugh but it came out as a giggle.

"Higurashi.. Less giggling and more working."

"Damn demon hearing."She whispered under her breathe

"I heard that." He warned "No not you Kagura I'm speaking with my secretary."

….

"Look I don't have time for your accusations you insecure bitch, I'm busy good bye."

Ouch

"Kagome."

"Yeah Sesshomaru?" She turned from the filing cabinet

"I want you to attend the wedding as well as the gala in place of my wife."

"You can't be serious."

"Very much so."

"What for Sesshomaru?" she questioned

"Do you always have to question me Higurashi?" he sighed rubbing his temples

"She's your wife don't drag me down with you. When things get tight you don't up and quit like that. Geez Sesshomaru as old as you are I would of thought you'd understand that by now." She replied hotly

"Are you finished with your little speech?"

"Yes thank you."

"Say what you will about me Kagome if you don't attend the wedding your fired." He smirked

She sighed and continued with her work.
