Kagome drained her third cup of coffee that morning, typing the last few words onto the computer screen. Her boss, who usually had the tendency to act as if he had a stick up his ass, had given her an all-night assignment on the last second. The woman had worked from sundown to sunup, and was barely meeting her deadline.

Making her way to the bathroom for a quick shower, she haphazardly discarded clothes in random directions, turning the nozzles for intense heat. The warm shower had a magical effect on her as she let her eyes droop close and enjoy the steam.

Heaven didn't last forever however when she heard her sleep deprived roommate through the door, "Kagome, you have three seconds to get out of the damn shower! One… two… NOW!" She screamed, banging on the door.

With a laugh Kagome hopped out drying herself quickly with a towel, "Sango, you're so grumpy in the mornings!" She sang out, opening the door releasing all the steam that had been trapped in the room. Sango just laughed as she shoved the girl out of the way and turned the shower back on.

The apartment was spacious and was plenty big enough for the both of them, the only downfall… one bathroom. How was a woman supposed to maneuver with such shared space?

Heading to her bedroom she pulled out the black pencil skirt from her closet and a white button up blouse. Her company was strict on dressing appropriately, and with a huff she glared at the heels that awaited her. "Oh, how I curse you."

Making her way to her dresser, she applied makeup and other womanly items and plugged in her straightener. If she was going to be presenting today, might as well look her best, eh?

Separating the layers she turned on her radio listening to the morning news.

Can you believe the temperature is down to 28 degrees? Better wear a warm jacket! It seems there's so much going on lately, with the cold coming in so fast and the Holidays coming up, the Christmas spirit will be in full bloom!

"Sango you better wear something warm!" Kagome yelled across the apartment, putting her straightener down and grabbing herself a blazer to match her skirt. Also grabbing herself a pair of gloves, she saw what time it was.

"Oh! It's already 7:30! I have to go, good luck on your first day Sango!" She yelled grabbing her report and purse and heading out the building. Hailing a taxi quickly she made it to the office just in time.

Rushing into her boss's office, she nodded at him. "Sesshomaru, how are you today?"

"Did you finish the report?"

Why do you always have such a stick up your ass!

"Oh, yes I do. Ready to be presented whenever you are ready," she smiled at him trying to hold in her frustration.

"Do it now then."

Gah! Now? I seriously hope you're enjoying that damn stick!

"Oh, okay then. So your company has not been gaining as much as you say it should. You are quite correct on that, based on the buyers it seems that someone down the company lines has been collecting payments and guzzling them into their own bank accounts. So cross referencing the data, it seems that a Naraku, who works in Managing, has been gaining more money in his accounts than he should be, and by that I mean, a lot more."

Sesshomaru nodded, and with a shake of his head dismissed her. She stayed up all night and that's all the appreciation she gets for pretty much saving his business? Ugh!

Walking towards the elevator she sighed, all she wanted was a nap and maybe not such a prick for a boss, and some food. She hadn't had time to eat breakfast; and there goes her stomach growling.

Just as she was about to walk in the elevator, she slammed right into, wouldn't you know it, Naraku!

Not only did she bump into the man who she presumed was about to die from her bosses wrath, but he happened to have a cup of hot, black coffee, which just so happened to go all over her, staining and burning the girl.

With a cry of frustration she continued on without a second glance, he was about to pay anyways. When her phone rang she was so relieved to hear Sango on the line.

"Sango you wouldn't believe how bad my morning has been, First Sesshomaru makes me stay up all night! Then he's a jerk, after I pretty much saved his ass, then I get a big steamy cup of coffee all over me!"

A few minutes of silence, and she heard Sango whisper, "Oh well your days about to get much worse than…"


Inuyasha stretched, trying to ignore the idiots that he worked with. His eye twitched when he heard Koga and Miroku throw out more remarks about the woman whom they were watching on TV.

"Can't a guy get some sleep around here?!" He yelled, making them both shift their eyes towards him before going back to completely ignoring him.

"Don't ignore me you assholes!" He yelled, making them turn the complete opposite direction then him.

Keh whatever, Idiots.

"I'm surprised we haven't had any calls yet, it's already 8 and not a single call." Miroku announced turning towards the television again.

"Ah, don't jinx us you dick," yelled Inuyasha, chucking the hard pillow at his friend, "now I bet we get a call within five minutes!"

With a shrug Miroku placed both hands behind his head, stretching his arms. "I like being out, women see firemen, and all they can think about is their sexual fantasies."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "you would think that you pervert."

Koga nodded, "seriously though, putting out fires, rescuing women and children from tragedies, it's a real turn on to most broads, and you know it dog breath."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU MANGY ANIMAL?" Inuyasha yelled jumping over the back of the couch. Inuyasha's black hair trailed behind him as he chased the grown man.

"Gentlemen please. You aren't children." Miroku said, halting the chasing.

"Men, we have a code Red. I Repeat code Red."

Putting on uniforms and heading towards the nearest fire truck, they headed towards the call, seeing the smoke from miles away. The scene however was much worse.

Flames licked and surrounded the apartment building as the men assembled into formation starting the hoses and taking precautions on where all the citizens were. Men and woman stared with shocked faces at the building being destroyed beyond repair.

Inuyasha barely noticed the taxi pull up, the woman run out or her screams.

He did notice however, when she tripped over the raise in the concrete, and slammed into him, knocking him over and utterly unconscious. His last remaining thought…

Stupid wench.


It's been far too long since I've been able to write a story. I hope you all like the first chapter, and any reviews/criticism will be helpful. I would like to improve my writing skills, and would love to hear from the readers.
