Previously…

At exactly 16:00, Kagome looked up from her desk to see a male and two females file meekly into the room. But, there was one person missing. A single male was not here.

Kagome's pale long-fingered hands clenched into fists as a malevolent glint appeared in her blue-green eyes. The other occupants of the room flinched and cowered away from her angry aura and shivered. Once Kagome had that look in her eyes, it meant that someone was going to pay a visit to Hell.

Kagome watched the clock on her wall tick, and at 16:01, her eyes narrowed into dangerous slits that promised immense pain as they swept around the silent still room.

"Inuyasha, you are a dead man."

ooo0ooo

II.

By: Kei Taiho

Inuyasha wiped furiously at the lipstick smeared on his lips and cheeks. Kagome was going to be angry. He snorted. That was definitely an understatement. She was not going to angry, no; instead, she was going to be downright pissed. He shuddered and groaned in horror. He knew he had a huge ordeal ahead of him contained behind the closed door at the end of the hall.

Suddenly, he smiled. Maybe Kagome would be feeling merciful today from escaping the clutches of the Rogue and give him a break! Yeah! Just maybe—! He stopped abruptly in his path as a harsh and bitter laugh escaped from his throat. Who was he kidding? Kagome? Mercy? Especially when she was going to be royally pissed? Hah! He would be lucky to be alive by the time she was finished with him.

The black-haired man moaned, the very picture of depression. How was he going to survive? Knowing Kagome, who was usually bright and cheerful, when seriously enraged, became the very Devil himself. He was never going to make it out alive.

With that thought in mind, Inuyasha dejectedly dragged his feet to that last door, down a suddenly long and ominous corridor, to an office where his demise awaits.

ooo0ooo

Ayame watched Inuyasha from a tiny security screen with a smirk from her front desk. 'Wow…one moment he looks relieved and then the next moment he looks like his world is about to fall apart!' she snorted. 'I don't blame him. If he's not lucky, he's not going to make it out of Kagome's office alive. But if he does happen to survive…well, let's just say some very important male anatomy will be missed dearly by not only himself, but some money-hungry females…' With that, the girl gave a sinister cackle. Let's just see how Kikyou will deal with that!

She grinned and drummed her fingers happily on the polished wooden desk. This was going to be one hell of an entertainment. Too bad Shippou's not here to see Inuyasha get his ass kicked.

ooo0ooo

As Inuyasha approached his doom, he decided that he was acting stupid. 'I mean, what damage can a little female like Kagome do to a strong male like me?' He nodded. Yes, he will not act like a bad puppy with his tail between his legs. A man like him was definitely not going to bow down to Kagome—a woman at that—instead, he's going to show a particular girl who was the boss. He was later shown how wrong he was…

Upon entering the room, Inuyasha was met with an unholy silence. Resisting the urge to run, he stalked over to the desk and stuck his face close to Kagome's own blank one.

"Look here, wench. Just because the old hag retired and gave you her position as chief, you're still a female bitch and this male isn't going to take any bullshit from you," Inuyasha growled and stared into empty blue-green eyes. When he got no reply, he figured that his rough speech had frightened the little girl and allowed a smug smile to spread across his face. "Now you know who the real boss is, bitch."

"Bullshit."

Startled, the black-haired man whirled around to glare at the only other male in the room. A female just can't have the ability to voice such menace in a single word. That was something only a male was capable of, right? Wrong. Inuyasha was going to pay for all his presumptions about females, especially for that rude outburst…

"You dare to call Kaede an old hag?"

Inuyasha stared at Miroku's lips. It didn't move when he was the one supposed to be talking! Then who—? He froze as he realized that Miroku's terror-filled eyes were staring behind him, which meant that it wasn't him who had spoken those menacing words. It was—

Kagome was no longer sitting in her chair; instead, she was standing with a very angry face. "Not only did you dare to insult Kaede and I, you also insulted all the females of the 21st century. And for that, you are going to pay dearly."

Inuyasha snorted before charging forward, bringing his fist low for a low strike. "Shut up and learn your place, bitch!" Before he could blink, he found himself on the floor with his arms twisted behind him and a knee painfully digging into his back.

"That wasn't a very good idea, Inuyasha," Kagome murmured into his ear. "Try attacking me again and you will find yourself castrated. Is that understood?"

The man underneath nodded feverishly. Satisfied, Kagome stood only to freeze on the spot. A few heartbeats later, she was pressing the button number six on the phone, all the while staring at the hidden security camera located at the top corner of her office.

ooo0ooo

Ayame cocked her head to one side. Why was the chief staring at the camera? Before she could think of an answer, the telephone rang.

Surprised, she almost fell out of her chair as she scrambled for the phone. "Yes?"

"Ayame."

The said person grinned. "Yes, ma'am?"

"I know you have been enjoying the show. But right now, I need you to contact Kouga and have him prepare his men. I'm going to need the backup."

"Backup?"

There was a pause on the other side of the line. "He is nearby." With that, the phone went dead.

Ayame swore. "Shit!" Hurriedly, she called Kouga to inform him of his orders.

ooo0ooo

Kagome hung up and turned her attention to the others in the room. "We will continue this later. Right now, I want you all to arm up and meet me back here in 10 minutes sharp. We don't have much time."

Sango spoke up. "Arm up for what?"

"I can sense him. The Master is nearby."

Silence reigned in the office until Inuyasha cracked his knuckles.

He snarled. "That bastard…Sesshoumaru…"

ooo0ooo

I really like this chapter. If I must say so myself, I simply love bashing Inuyasha! It's really fun and entertaining!

I would like to thank both PerkyPuppy and Broken-Memory for their reviews in chapter one. It had given me the motivation to continue on. Thank you very much!

Please review!
