Chapter 2 – Meeting Inuyasha

Kagome woke up early the next morning since she went to sleep early. She got up, got cleaned and dress and went to eat her breakfast just like she do everyday. Today she wore a pink casual t-shirt with blue jean pants and a pair of pink nikes. After eating her food, she went up to a medium size panel that leds to the mail shoot (like a build in mailbox). She opens it and grabs her mail and went to her couch and sat down. Since she already paid the monthly expenses she figures it just ordinary mail. She just finished reading her mail when her phone rang.

"Who should be calling me this time of day?" She picked up the phone, "Hello".

"Morning Miss Higurashi" said a regal voice on the other side, Kagome knew who it was.

"Mr.-Mr. Tashio?"

"Yes. I know that it's a early Saturday morning, but I want you to meet the CEO of my company. He's my brother, Inuyasha. I want you to get to know him as you will be seeing him at lot at the office besides myself".

"Oh. Okay. So when do yo uwant me to meet him?"

"Today if you don't mind. I know it's the weekend but I want to go ahead and get you to meet him".

"Oh ok. I'm already ready. So where?"
"At the restaurant where you and I met. How about an hour from now? They serve wonderful breakfast there".

"I've already ate, but I'll try their coffee...I'll be there in an hour".

"Very well. Goodbye Miss Higurashi".

"Goodbye Mr. Tashio (click). Well, here goes nothing". Kagome got up and gathered her things. After that she went out, locked her door and headed to her car where she will meet the CEO of the company she will work for.

When she there, she was again seated by the hostess who gave her a window seat and a waiter came. She ordered coffee and some a waffle cause it was one of her favorites. She sat comfortably and waited for her guest to arrive. She looked outside and watch people walk and run by the restaurant. Five minutes after getting her coffee and waffler the door opened and revealed a tall cute fellow. He had long white hair and pretty golden eyes. He wore a yellow dress shirt and black slacks with black shoes. Kagome then notices his ears and knew that this was Inuyasha, her boss's brother. He spotted her and went to her table and took a seat. He also ordered coffee.

"Hi, you must be Kagome Higurashi?" He said offering his hand to shake.

"Yes I am. You must be Inuyasha Tashio". She reached the hand to shake it.

"Yeah. It's nice to meet you. My brother called me yesterday and told me about you. He faxed me a copy of your resume. It's very impressive".

"I see you like that word too" Kagome said with a smile.

"What word?"

"Impressive".

"Oh, well, it is. So anyway..."

"So are you here to join me for coffee?"

"Feh! So my brother wants me to get to know you and whatever the hell he wants".

"You seem like you don't like your job".

"Keh! It's alright. It keeps me busy and out of trouble". The waitress came and served him his coffee.

"A troublemaker I see?"

"Hm, used to be. Still am if given the chance. So what do you think about Mr. Fluff?" sipping.

Kagome just giggle to that name, "Mr. Fluff huh? I see. He's okay so far".

"Well, don't get the idea that he's the perfect gentlemen. He can turn on you in a heartbeat. He is very successful but if you step on his toes it's best if you take off running".

"Oh. So I bet your schedule is just as busy as his?"
"Feh! The hell it ain't. Shit I get more free time then he does, and I'm the damn CEO".

'He's got quite a mouth to be a buisness man' Kagome thought while sipping her coffee.

"So..." he said eating a doughnut, "How long have you've been working before coming to us?"

"Well after school I had only one job before they let me go. I worked with them for two years. I was one of the best workers out there. Then I had one of those bosses that makes me want to kick the hell out of them. But other then that just that one before I came to the company".

'Wow, she's pretty' "Well, I'm glad that you've join the team. It's pretty heckic at times but kinda cool if you like that sort of thing".

"But do you work for that sort of thing?" Kagome said eating her waffle adding sarcasm.

"Feh! Whatever. But listen I just want to tell you to be careful when working with Sir Cotton there".

"I'll be alright" Kagome said while giggling.

"Okay, but if you need anything else call me". Inuyasha gave Kagome his card from his front pocket.

"Oh, okay. So anyways. What do you want to talk about other then work?" she said grabbing the card off of his hands and putting it in her pocket thanking him.

"I must say that you are very pretty". Kagome gave a light blush. "But seeing that we are co-workers, I wondering if we can be friends? Even though we just met, I feel like we are off to a good start".

"Sure. I can never get enough friends. Besides...I'm all about being a professional".

"Good...Now where's my fuckin' phone?"

"Calling someone during a meeting?"

"Well, this call has to take place. It's my bastard of a brother. He wants to know how the meeting is going like he already knows how's it going".

"Oh. I'm sure he can wait?"

"If he waits too long he's going to call anyways and if he doesn't get an answer, he'll come here, and I don't want that asshole to ruin this meeting".

"Oh, might as well call him then". Kagome picked up her coffee and sipped it.

"Yeah, don't I know it". He grabbed his phone out of his pocket, flipped it open and press a few numbers. He placed it by his ear and listen for his brother to pick up.

"Hello little brother". Kagome could here the voice of her boss.

"Don't little brother me you ass. I'm talking with Kagome as we speak".

'Who said we are on a first name basis?' Kagome thought.

"Good. How's it holding up?"

"It's fine. I just want to let you know that before I hang up".

"Let me speak to her". Inuyasha tensed.

"For what?! I'm talking to her and anything I hear from her you know I'll tell you".

"I know. I just want to tell her something really quickly".

"Sigh...fine...here, he wants to talk to you" he said giving Kagome the phone.

"Oh...okay" she said taking the phone, "Hello?"

"Miss Higurashi. How is your meeting with my brother?"

"Oh, it's fine. He's quite the character" Kagome said finishing her waffle.

"I see. Yes he is quite the character. Just don't let him push you around, understood".

"Uh, okay". Inuyasha hearing every word from his brother and rolled his eyes.

"Good. Now that you'll be working for me, it is important that I get to call you by your first name".

"Oh, that's fine Mr. Tashio" 'I guess that's part of the job'.

"Good. When you come Monday you are to take the elevators to the top floor and Miroku will escort you to my office. I'll tell you more on Monday, goodbye, Kagome".

"Goodbye Mr. Tashio". Kagome hung up the phone and gave it back to Inuyasha.

"Asshole" he said putting the phone back into his pocket. "So what he say?"

"He said the he's going to be calling me by my first name".

"Oh, well that goes with the job as his assistant".

"I see". Inuyasha nodded.

"Um, why do you call him such names?"

"That's because he is. Every since we were little he always bullied me, now I can get my paybacks".

"I see. This coffee is really good" Kagome said finishing her coffee.

"Yeah I know. I like their juices...say how bout we go for a walk?" he said sipping his.
"A walk? Hmm...sounds good, let's go". And with that, they left and went for a walk.

"I know that you noticed I called you by your first name...I'm...uh..."

"It's okay. I was going to tell you to call by my first name anyways. So no prob".

"You're real sweet, you know that?" he said with a small smile.

"Um, I know". She blushes as she looked the other way to avoid eye contact. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Feh! No. I like doing what I'm doing. Nobody to slow me down or anything".

"And that's being a player, right?"

"Not really. I just can't get serious with anybody".

"Aww, afraid of a brokenheart" she cooed.

"Stop that! And no I'm not". Kagome giggled as they walked some more.

RING, RING - "Oh, excuse me, my phone is ringing...hello".

"Kagome! What you doing?" said a female voice on the other side.

"I'm in a meeting with Inuyasha".

"Oohh, okay then. Say if you're not doing anything in the next hour can you come by my house?"

"Sure. It shouldn't take much longer" she said making an annoy look which made Inuyasha smirk.

"Okay then see ya then".

"Bye (click)...that's my bestfriend. She's always wants to know the latest about my life".

"I see. It's kind of like how Sir Puff is". Kagome giggles everytime he came up with a name.

"I see it's going to be interesting working with you Inuyasha Tashio".

"Likewise, Kagome Higurashi".

"So why did you want to be the CEO?"

"My brother build the company from the ground up. He also wants to keep it in the family. So when it came time for it's big launch, he made me CEO. But after awhile I began to like the damn job".

"Ooh. Well at least you get to work together".

"Feh! Yeah yeah".

"So if there's anything else you want to talk to me about, I would like to go to my bestfriend's house".

"Oh, yeah sure. There's nothing else. Like I said I just wanted to get to know you a bit that's all".

"Okay then. Well if you don't mind walking me back to my car, I'll be off".

"Sure no problem".

When they walk for a few more minutes, they walked back and Inuyasha walked her to her car. Inuyasha gave Kagome his hand and she took it to shake and said if she needed anything give him a call and she replied with an okay. They said their goodbyes and she went into her car and drove off towards Sango's house.
