Chapter 2: Courage: Meeting the Masters
Miko.
That's was Kagome's nickname back when she was a stripper in one of Tokyo's adult entertainment club, The Shikon. She was consider the client's favorite entertainer, so it was no surprise to Kagome that her boss wouldn't like the idea that she was quitting the place. However, for Kagome this was a chance for her to start a new life. To actually be able to become something better and not live the rest of her life as a dancer.
Even though she enjoys dancing, the fact that she had to take off her clothes in front of hundred of men and woman always left a bad taste in her mouth. Before becoming an exotic dancer, Kagome always dreamed about becoming a professional dancer, however that dreamed died when she lost both of parents. Her father had passed away in a car accident and her mother was murdered in her very own home.
An incident that Kagome blames herself because she was there in the house when it happened and Kagome couldn't do anything to stop them from attacking. For that one split second, Kagome failed her mother and promise she made to her father. Even though her parents left her some money in the bank, just in case something happened to them, Kagome will not be able to receive that money until she is twenty-five years old. If Kagome can survive four more years working at Shikon then once she turns twenty-five, Kagome will finally get the opportunity to leave the strip joint.
Thankfully now that Kagome will be working at XPLICIT, who knows if she'll ever need her inheritance now. As Kagome stared at her reflection and with her Bluetooth piece in her ear, Kagome sighed softly as she spoke with Sango on the phone. Now that Sango is going to be living with her Dominant, Master Miroku, Kagome had a feeling that the apartment is going to get very lonely now.
"Okay let me explain to you about the girls. Mistress Kaede in a way is the leader of the girls. She the one that makes sure that all of the girls are doing their jobs, whether they are Dominatrix or submissive. She is also consider one of the best in the world" Sango said.
"You know you are making me even more nervous about today, don't you Sango?" Kagome said.
"Well it is my job to prepare you. After all I did used to work there" Sango said as she giggled softly.
"Yea well I wish you can come with me. I don't know how I'll be able to make it to the front door" Kagome said.
"Just call forth your inner Miko, if you ever need help Kagome. Also, remember that I am only a call away" Sango said and Kagome nodded her head.
"Yea hopefully Miko will help me out here. Can you tell me about the other Mistresses?" Kagome asked.
"Mistress Tsukiyomi is a sweetheart and probably the one who will try to befriend you. She always liked to help out as much as she can so if she gives you any advice, make sure you listen to her" Sango said.
"And what about the other one?" Kagome asked.
"Mistress Tsubaki is very cutthroat and she doesn't handle bullshit very well so try not mess up in front of her. Other than that, she does have a soft spot for girls first entering the scene and wants to learn about this lifestyle. If you are interested in joining, she is the one you would want to talk to. So tell me are you interested in joining?" Sango asked.
"I mean I don't know. I did some research just like you said and the lifestyle seems... I don't know" Kagome said as she tried to understand what she had learned over the weekend.
"I know its a lot to take in and it can be very intimidating but from what I know from experience is that it offers you to be free. When you give yourself to a Master who knows what he is doing, he will give you the world and show you what love can truly be" Sango explained.
"I just hope he is treating you well?" Kagome asked. Kagome had met Miroku a few times and during those times, Kagome had sensed a powerful aura seeping out of him. It was almost like he controlled the room and kill anyone who stood in his way. Now of course the man was very sweet to Kagome and even explained to her a little bit of the lifestyle, however Kagome made sure that she was still careful around him. Besides, Sango seemed very happy around Miroku and as long as Miroku treated her right, then Kagome wouldn't have to interfere in her best friend's relationship.
"Always looking out for me" Sango said with a giggle before adding "But to answer your question, the answer is yes, of course he is treating me well, he is nothing like my ex boyfriends" Sango said and Kagome couldn't help but smile at her best friend. Ever since Sango and Kagome have met when Kagome first became an exotic dancer, those two immediately got along so well that it almost seemed like they were sisters. Her friendship with Sango is what initially saved Kagome's life.
"So are you sure you don't need your car today, Sango?" Kagome asked as she continued to stare at herself as she made sure that what she was wearing wasn't too much for her or her new job.
"Don't worry about it, once you get enough money to buy your own, then you can give me back my car. Until then it is yours. Just promise me you'll be careful with it?" Sango asked.
"You know I will Sango" Kagome said as she sat on her bed and began to strap in her black stilettos heels.
'Excellent. Now how is the dress fitting you?" Sango asked.
"It feels nice to actually be wearing clothes to work now" Kagome said as she softly giggle. Looking at the simple one shoulder black dress that she was now wearing, Kagome was glad that Sango had convince her to buy the dress over this past weekend. Afraid that it would be inappropriate for her new work place, Sango explained to her that it wasn't and that it had just the right amount of sexiness that Kagome needed to impresses her two new bosses.
"Are you sure this dress isn't too much Sango. I mean it is short?" Kagome asked. Not only was this dress too tight, but it stopped just below the knee.
"Don't worry Kagome, you look great. Beside I used to work for Master Inuyasha and Master Sesshomaru, I know what they like and don't like and trust me they are going to love the dress you are wearing" Sango said.
"Well I do feel pretty" Kagome said and Sango giggled softly.
"Yes you are Kagome and remember just be yourself. The Masters will appreciate you for that" Sango said and Kagome nodded her head.
"I just hope they like me. It'll will be kind of weird for me to be working there and my bosses don't like me" Kagome said as she began to apply her make-up.
"With your personality I highly doubt that Kagome. Just promise me you won't lie to them. The Master and even the Mistresses hate it when someone lies to them, especially to their faces" Sango said.
"Yea well I got nothing to hide" Kagome said.
"Are you sure about that Kagome? I mean what happens if they start asking you about your parents?" Sango said.
"Well as long as they don't bring it up then we shouldn't have a problem with it. You know how I hate talking about it Sango" Kagome said.
"Yes well you keep blaming yourself for what had happened to your mother and you are I both know that it wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could've done Kagome and you know that" Sango said.
Kagome sighed softly as she stopped what she was doing. She hated the fact that Sango was right and yet Kagome couldn't stop blaming herself. Working as a lawyer Kagome's mother, Mrs. Kiera Higurashi had dealt with many bad cases in the past and yet she loved her job and wanted to save as much people as she possibly could. Who knew that the last case she was working on was her last and the reason why she is dead in the first place.
Everybody knew how dangerous it was to get involved with cases that involved the gangs of Tokyo. Even with Kagome doing her best to convince her mother to drop the case, Kiera just wouldn't listen. With the evidence that Kiera had collected, she managed to send the leader Shichinintai to prison. Thinking that her mother is now safe that the case was over, Kagome sighed in relief.
However the very next day, both Kagome and Kiera were ambushed in their very own home. With Kagome tied up in the bathroom, there was no way that she would be able to save her mother for whatever fate had in stored for her. A few minutes later, Kagome heard gunshots and she knew immediately that her mother was gone. With the rest of the gang member out of her house, Kagome managed to free herself from the ropes. After leaving the bathroom, Kagome kept calling out her mother's name. By the time she made it to the living room, Kagome found her mother dead on the floor in her own pool of blood.
"Forgive me mommy" Kagome had said.
"Hello Kagome, are you there" Sango said and Kagome finally cleared her head. After releasing a soft sigh, Kagome responded.
"Yea Sango I am here" Kagome said softly.
'I am so sorry for bringing that up Kagome. I shouldn't have done that" Sango said and Kagome shook her head.
"No Sango its okay, I'm not mad at you. You were just looking out for me" Kagome said.
"Okay. Well anyway, Master Miroku is calling for me. Promise me that you will call me tonight and tell me everything that happened today. I want all of the details" Sango said and Kagome giggled softly.
"Yes of course I promise" Kagome said.
"Awesome. I love you Kagome" Sango said.
"Love you too Sango and take care" Kagome said.
"You too honey. Bye." Sango said before hanging up the phone. Once Kagome pulled out her Bluetooth, she placed it back inside of her purse. Now that her hair and make-up is finally done, Kagome is now ready to start the day.
"Alright. Here I go" Kagome said. After grabbing her crimson red shawl, she made sure that her phone and wallet were inside her purse. Once she was out the door, she made sure that everything was locked and secure. Driving up to Sango's 2017 Land Rover, Kagome felt a sense of power coursing through her. She was happy that she finally got a new job and hopefully after today, Kagome's new life is going to begin.
Once she typed up the address to the club onto the built in GPS, Kagome smiled softly as pulled out of the drive-way and headed straight for the club.

So many times Kagome had drove past this amazing and intimidating club, not even realizing what was inside of it. Now that she knows, Kagome began to wonder if it was even legal to run an establishment such as this. XPLICIT, one of Tokyo's most Elite and BDSM club, where humans and demon fulfill their darkest fanatasy. Thinking about all of the possibility that went on in this club, Kagome began to wonder if she will ever get involved in a place like this. Not just working as a secretary but become a member herself.
A place like this definitely brought excitement into Kagome's world and who knows maybe Kagome does have a dark side to her. Reading a few books and watching a few movies about the lifestyle over the weekend, had definitely made Kagome feel a certain way. However, she pushed it aside, thinking it was just her lack of relationships or any male intimacy. For over six years, Kagome devoted her life as a stripper. Not wanting a man to control her life, Kagome allowed herself to remain single. Yes there were times where Kagome had to pleasure herself in order to soothe the ache between her thighs, however she never allowed a man to touch her.
The only time a man has ever touched was on that horrible day.
Not wanting to think about the past, Kagome pushed those thoughts aside and immediately turned off her car. After grabbing her purse and shawl, Kagome finally stepped out of the car. Once the car was locked, Kagome made her way towards the club. Releasing a deep sigh, Kagome opened the door to the club and was immediately awe struck by the interior design.
The walls were painted black with paintings of Venetian and Masquerade masks on each corner of the main room. The couches and chairs were all a deep crimson color and there was a few black glass tables nearby as wells. The floors was made up of black marble that had a bit of crimson glitter painted on top. Overall it was beautiful club and it made Kagome happy to see that it seemed somewhat normal to her.
"And there she is" Kagome spotted Kaede in the corner, drinking a cup of coffee as she prepared herself for the day ahead. Kaede was wearing a tight black silk shirt with a tight leather pants that showed off each one of her beautiful curves with a pair of red heels. Her hair was pulled back in a tight bun and her make-up was very subtle. For a woman who is clearly in her forties, Kaede looked amazing.
"Hello Kaede" Kagome said with a smile on her face.
"Now I must say I was worried about you. I was afraid that we wouldn't see you today" Kaede said.
"Am I really that obvious?" Kagome said.
"Well that and the fact that you stayed in your car for about tem minutes. Nervous?" Kaede asked.
"A liitle" Kagome said as she remember what Sango had told her about them hating when people lie to them.
"Listen. This place can be very intimidating but I promise you that we are all nice people and we wouldn't make you do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. So for now get that out of your head and smile, we don't want the Master thinking that you hate your job" Kaede said as she smiled softly at Kagome.
"Believe me I don't hate my job. I mean this place looks incredible" Kagome said as she couldn't help but stare out into the area in front of her.
Kaede giggle as she noticed the look of happiness in Kagome's face. It was almost like a kid who walked into a candy store for the very first time. Looking at Kagome's face, Kaede couldn't help but wonder how bad her old job must of been. Of course being an exotic dancer is no easy job and it did baffle Kaede that Kagome was an exotic dancer in the first place. The sweetness and innocent aura that radiated off of Kagome was intoxicating and Kaede only hoped that they wouldn't ruin a girl like Kagome by working in a place like this.
"Well I am glad you feel that way Kagome and remember I am here to answer any questions you may have. Now do you have any questions?" Kaede asked.
"Actually I am curious about one thing. The office where I had my interview is so different than this place and I was wondering who owned it and why I didn't have my interview here?" Kagome asked.
"Master Sesshomaru and his father owns that small building and the reason why we didn't have the interview here is because we were worried that you would end up afraid of us. Plus Master Sesshomaru wanted to see how you would react when seated in front of three of the greatest Dominatrix in Tokyo. He was actually seated in the office next to us when you had your interview and he was pleased with how you handle yourself. You even surprised him, Kagome" Kaede said.
"He was?" Kagome asked. She's now looking forward to meet the mysterious Master who had left her the message. His voice alone held a certain dominance to it and when Kagome heard him speak to her and way he said her name was enough to send her to her knees.
"Yes but I must warn you Kagome. Be very careful with Sesshomaru. The man may be a brilliant Master but his dominance is too much for you to handle and if you are not careful, that dominace can eat you alive" Kaede said with a serious tone in her voice.
"I understand" Kagome said as she tried to hide the fact that she was upset that Kaede told her something like that. She really was looking forward in meeting Sesshomaru.
"Now shall we begin your tour. Our clients start arriving at ten and it would make the Masters happy to see you prepare for your first day" Kaede said and Kagome nodded her head as she smiled softly.
"Well this room in particular is the lounge, almost like a waiting room. This is where the clients will wait to see us. Now remember, you are first person and last person they will see so make sure to always smile" Kaede said and Kagome nodded her head.
Next Kaede and Kagome moved over to the far end of the lounge and Kagome saw a rather large room. There was a desk and office chair and all the wall, Kagome spotted an empty bookcase, Kagome had a feeling that this room was going to end up becoming her office. The fact that it was plain despite the black walls and small paintings, Kagome was excited about it and she couldn't wait to start decorating it.
"I'm pretty sure that by now you realized that this office is yours now. When you get the chance, you may start decorationg it. However I would be careful on how you decorate it. Remember to not over due it. Picture and small items are acceptable and you are welcome to add to your new bookcase, but like I said, try to keep it professional" Kaede said and Kagome smiled.
"Yes of course, I understand" Kagome said and Kaede smiled once again.
"Excellent. Now through these halls, you will find all of our offices. This one right here belongs to Master Inuyasha, he will be the one you work under so be sure to always do what he says" Kaede said as pointed to the hall right next to Kagome's office. After looking inside of Master's Inuyasha office, she noticed that he had a lot of rewards and acheivements. The one next to the door read 'Fastest Rock Climber: Inuyasha Takahashi' and Kagome couldn't help but wondered as she thought about what Inuyasha did during his spare time.
"Now the one thing I want you to remember is this door right here" Kaede said as she and Kagome made it back to the lounge. Kagome noticed a rather large dark red door on the other side of the lounge and Kagome wondered why this door was so important in the first place because it looked quite ominous.
"What it is" Kagome asked.
"This is actually an elevator that leads us downstairs. The only problem is that someone has to keep operating it everytime we use it. Its actually going to be one of your jobs here at XPLICIT. Downstairs is where the magic happens and the area where we treat our clients. Now remember Kagome, you must never go downstairs unless you are with one of the Masters is that understood?" Kaede asked.
"Yes I understand Kaede" Kagome said.
"Don't worry Kagome. Once you stop overthinking it you'll do great here" Just remember what I told you okay" Kaede said and Kagome smiled softly. Maybe Kaede is right. All Kagome had to do is stop thinking about all of possible ways that she might fail and start thinking about the positive ways. Who knows maybe working here would be fun after all.
Suddenly the front door had opened and in came a man with long silver hair and cute little dog ears sitting on top. Kagome immediately had the urge to touch them but of course she pulled back.
"Morning" the man said before taking a sip of his coffee. After spotting Kagome standing next to Kaede, the man immediately stopped and stared at the young girl before him. What hell was a girl like her doing in a place like this.
"Who is she?" the man asked.
"This is Kagome Higurashi. She is your new secretary. Kagome this is Master Inuyasha Takahashi, she will be your new boss" Kaede said as she introduced the two of them.
"Please to meet you Mr. Takahashi" Kagome said as she held out her hand. Once Inuyasha shook her hand, he immediately let go and turned his attention towards Kaede. "Can I speak with you in my office?" Inuyasha asked.
"Of course Sir" Kaede said with a smile before turning her attention towards Kagome. "Why don't you wait for me in your office Kagome, we will finish talking once I am done with Master Inuyasha" Kaede added and Kagome nodded her head as she headed toward her office where she decided to place her bag and turn on her computer. After Inuyasha escorted Kaede to his office, he immediately closed the door, hoping that Kagome wouldn't disturb or hear him.
"What the hell is that girl doing here in XPLICIT" Inuyasha asked in a very hushed toned.
"Don't ask me, ask Sesshomaru. He was the one who hired her in the first place" Kaede said as she scowled at Inuyasha.
"Why would he hired someone like her in the first place. You and I know very well that she won't survive in our world. She is too..." Inuyasha couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that Kagome was a young innocent girl who was hired by Sesshoamru.
"Innocent? Naïve?" Kaede asked.
"Yes a girl like that doesn't belong in this world. A Dom could tear her apart if she is not careful" Inuyasha said.
"Yea well like I said, ask Sesshomaru. He is the one who hired her in the first place. If you are so concerned about her then let Sesshomaru know and maybe he will do something about it. Remember this is Sesshomaru's club and only he has the power to dismiss anyone from this place" Kaede said. She hated the fact that Inuyasha didn't like the idea of Kagome working here, especially since Kagome is Inuyasha's new secretary. Even Kaede and the girls were starting to like Kagome.
Hopefully Sesshomaru gets here soon before Inuyasha's loses it.

After Kagome placed her cellphone and wallet inside of her desk drawer, she placed her purse under the desk and pulled out a small notebook. Writing down everything that Kaede had told her from before, Kagome waited for Kaede to show up. It was now nine-thirty in the morning and Kagome was starting to get nervous at the fact that the clients were going to start showing up any minute now and Kagome wasn't sure how she should approach them.
Knock knock
"Yes how can I help you?" Kagome said as she lifted her head and smile, Standing on her doorway was a man with long silver hair and the most beautiful golden eyes she has ever seen. With markings on his face and forehead, Kagome was taken back at how beautiful he looked. As he smirked and shook his head slowly, the man finally spoke.
"Sango has told me quite a lot about you but forgive me for saying this but you are a lot beautiful in real life then in a picture" The man said. Kagome immediately recognized the voice and seeing the man standing in her office made her slightly nervous. No man should be that good looking and not be single at the moment.
"You must be Mr. Taisho" Kagome said as she stood up from her chair and walked around her desk. "I'm Kagome Higurashi, please to meet you Sir" Kagome said with a smile as she gave him her hand.
"Please call me Sesshomaru and the pleasure is all mine. Forgive me for scaring you, you seemed so lost in thought when I first entered the room. Are you nervous about working if you don't mind me asking?" Sesshomaru asked and Kagome couldn't help but giggle softly.
"Yea its a lot different but I think I can manage here" Kagome said with a smiled.
"That's good to hear. Now I'm sure Kaede has explained to you how we run things around here. Am I correct?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes Sir. Actually, Mr. Takahashi asked to speak with her when he got here so I am sure that she is still in his office" Kagome said.
"Taisho!" Both Sesshomaru and Kagome heard Inuyasha's booming voice calling out his name, causing Kagome to slightly flinch. He wasn't sure why but Sesshomaru immediately placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder. After making sure she was alright, Sesshomaru sighed.
"Well I guess its time to say hello to the pup. I hope to see you again soon Kagome" Sesshomaru said as he pulled his hand away from her shoulder.
"Yes of course Sir" Kagome said. She wasn't sure whether or not she call him by his first name, however seeing the smirk on his face made Kagome blush.
"Good girl" Sesshomaru said with a wink and left the room. Once he was gone and out of sight, Kagome sighed in relief as she manage to drag her feet back to her desk. After she took a seat, Kagome went back to writing.

"Yes of course Sir" Sesshomaru couldn't help but play those words in his head. Kagome possessed the perfect attitude that any submissive should have. Without even realizing what she did, Kagome made the inner Dom in Sesshomaru growl happily. Perhaps introducing Kagome to their world wouldn't be such a bad idea after all since its clearly that Kagome will fit right in here perfectly and with the right amount of training, Kagome can truly become the perfect sub.
"Excellent" Sesshomaru said softly not even realizing that he made it to Inuyasha's office or the fact that Inuyasha heard what he just said.
"What is so excellent, Sesshomaru? Because clearly this little stunt you did is not excellent" Inuyasha said as he glared at his best friend. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had a very unique relationship. The two of them had been friends since Inuyasha first met Sesshomaru in college. Since they were both dog demons, they manage to establish a friendship since there many of their kind left on the planet.
Of course it was a rather odd friendship but nonetheless, Inuyasha was happy to have Sesshomaru in his life. Sesshomaru was there when Inuyasha lost his fiancé in a terrible accident. Her death left a huge scar in Inuyasha's heart and ever since then Inuyasha hasn't been able to move on with his life. All he could think about was the love of his life.
Kikyo, Kaede's younger sister.
"Would you cease all of this screaming Takahashi, before you scare your new secretary?" Sesshomaru said as he pinched the bridge of his nose. After taking a seat next to Kaede, Sesshomaru glared at Inuyasha.
"She's the reason why I am upset in the first place, Tasho" Inuyasha said with a glare on his face.
"And what exactly did she do to you that made you so upset in the first place. I doubt its her looks because I have to say that Kagome is a very beautiful young girl. Even if she is a human" Sesshomaru said however Inuyasha remained silent.
"You know, you got like this when we first hired Sango, but after a while you warmed up to her and hell you even introduced her to one of the seniors Dom at Noire. Tell me Are you going to keep acting like this everytime we hire a new secretary? Because if you ask me this shit is starting to get very old Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said as he lean back on his chair.
"Yea you're right this is fucking pointless. Of course you wouldn't understand Taisho" Inuyasha said as he continued to glare at Sesshomaru and Kaede.
"Understand what Inuyasha? Please enlighten me with this theory that you have about this female being so damn horrible" Sesshomaru said as he stood up. There were times when Sesshomaru truly cared about his friendship with Inuyasha, however in this very moment, Sesshomaru was tempted to strangle the young half-demon.
"That girl, Kagome Higurashi. You do realize that she is a stripper right?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes and so was Sango when we first hired her but she ended up quitting her job at the club because she enjoyed working here" Sesshomaru said as he folded his arms across his chest, waiting to see what Inuyasha is going to say next.
'I don't know there is something weird about her, Sesshomaru. Something about her seems off" Inuyasha said.
"You do realize she used to be a stripper right? Beside Sango explained to me over the weekend that Kagome ended up quiting her job, of course she also told me that her old boss was furious with Kagome's decision" Sesshomaru said.
"Exactly! What if someone tracks down Kagome and realize that she works here now. That's the kind of stupidity that can bring the press involved and you and I both know how bad that could end" Inuyasha said as he tried his best to persuade Sesshomaru into firing Kagome. A girl like her usually is never up to no good and Inuyasha had a sneaking suspicion about Kagome.
Clearly she is hiding something.
"Honestly Inuyasha, you are nuts and maybe if you get to know Kagome a little bit better then maybe you will see that she is just a young girl trying to survive in this world. Give her chance Inuyasha because I can guarantee you that Kagome will surprise" Sesshomaru said.
"Keh, whatever you say Sesshomaru" Inuyasha said.
"Excellent" Sesshomaru said after sniffing the air to make sure that Kagome was alright by herself and that was when Sesshomaru caught a whiff of a familiar scent. "Kaede, you client is here. Make sure that Kagome knows what she is doing" Sesshomaru said and Kaede immediately got off her chair.
"Yes of course Sir" Kaede said. She was happy at the fact that Inuyasha decided to give Kagome a chance. Hopefully the two of them will be able to get along with each other. Once Kaede left the room, Inuyasha took a seat before glaring at Sesshomaru once again.
"Know this Sesshomaru. Kagome is my secretary. Any mistakes she makes and I will fire her" Inuaysha said and Sesshoamru couldn't but glare at Inuaysha.
"Yea we'll see how that ends won't we Takahashi" Sesshomaru said as he stood up from his chair and immiediately left Inuyasha's office. Deciding it was best to check out the clients at Noire, Seshhomaru waved goodbye at both Kagome and Kaede. Seeing the smile on Kagome's face had in fact eased the tension that was slowly building inside of him.

It was around lunch time when Kagome had spotted Tsukiyomi saying goodbye to her latest clients of the day. Seeing Kaede and the girls interact with their clients had put a smile on Kagome's face. Yes it was slightly weird what they did to the clients, however seeing the looks on the client's face after they left made it worth it.
"I have no idea what you guys do to them but its incredible" Kagome said to Tsukiyomi.
"Always remember that our clients are just normal human beings and that we must treat them the same as we would to any other person. Yes the therapy we provide here is different but it helps them cope with the outside world" Tsukiyomi said.
"So this is what this place is like then. Its a therapy clinic to those who needs special treatment?" Kagome asked.
"Pretty much. except it involves whips and chains" Tsukiyomi said with a wink, causing Kagome to giggle softly.
"By the way when can I go on my lunch break?" Kagome asked.
"You can go now if you want. Our afternoon clients doesn't arrive until after two in the afternoon. Just let Inuyasha know that you are going on your lunch break. Don't want the pup to freak out on us when he realizes that you have gone missing" Tsukiyomi said.
"Alright. I'll let him know" Kagome said as she grabbed her purse
"Alright see you later Kagome" Tsukiyomi said as she waved goodbye to Kagome and headed straight for her office. To finish off on some paperwork before heading out for a quick lunch. After making sure Kagome had everything she needed inside of her purse, Kagome headed straight for Inuyasha's office. After knocking on his door, she heard Inuyasha telling her to enter.
"Excuse me Sir, but I'm out for a quick lunch. Do you need anything?" Kagome asked and Inuaysha shook his head.
'Thank you but I'm good for now. Make sure you clock out and please let me know when you get back" Inuyasha said and Kagome nodded her head.
"Yes of course Sir. Thank you and I'll be back soon" Kagome said.
"Enjoy your lunch Kagome" Inuyasha said and Kagome nodded her head before leaving his office. After she clocked out, she left the building and headed straight for Sango's car. Once inside, she placed her bag on the passenger side seat and immediately turned on the car. Once the door was shut, she slowly backed out of the parking spot but immediately stop when she felt something hit the back of her car. She noticed a black car on her blind side and immediately cursed at herself.
"Shit" Kagome said and immediately got out of the car. She noticed that both of the cars had a small dent and few scratches on it, however Kagome immediately began to panic when she saw that the driver of the car was none other then Sesshomaru Taisho.
"Are you alright Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome slowly nodded her head but the fact of the matter is that she wasn't alright.
"Oh my God I am so sorry. God I can't believe this is happening to me" Kagome said as her body began to shake. God her insurance company and Sango is going to kill her for this.
"I swear I will repay you as soon as I can" Kagome said as she buried her face into her hands. Too embarrassed to see the look on Sesshomaru's face, Kagome buried her face into her hands. There was no way she would be able to fix this all of this.
"Kagome relax, it is just a car" Sesshomaru said and Kagome couldn't help but shake her head after lifting it up.
"Just a car? You can't be serious Mr. Taisho, I just destroyed your vehicle" Kagome said as she pointed to his vehicle. The poor girl must be in shock seeing as though it was just a small bump. The only damage it did was leave a small dent and scratches on the two cars.
"Like I said Kagome, its going to be fine. Now do you have car insurance" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes I do, Mr. Taisho" Kagome said.
"Okay number one, what did I tell you about calling me Mr. Taisho? And number two, everything is going to be okay" Sesshomaru said before placing his hand on Kagome shoulders. "Now why don't you and I go to the café for some lunch and discuss the situation there" Sesshomaru added.
Kagome nodded her head. "If you want to fire me then go ahead. I won't be mad at you or this place" Kagome said with a pout.
"Now why would I fire someone as gorgeous as you?" Sesshomaru asked causing the young girl beside him to blush before nodding her head. Once Kagome manage to park her car once again. She grabbed her purse and headed for Sesshomaru's car. He had just opened the passenger side for her once she reached his side. After getting inside and made sure that she had on her seatbelt, Kagome sighed once again.
Sesshomaru was driving the latest new BMW i8, which means the insurance company is really going to hate Kagome for this. It was a beautiful car with its amazing custom paint job of crimson red, however Kagome had no idea how she was going to repay Sesshomaru. Even if the damage was minimal.
"I don't how but I will repay you back Sesshomaru. If I have to work for you for the rest of my life then I will" Kagome said.
"Relax Doll, You don't have to repay me nor do you have to work for me for the rest of your life. By this time next week, this car is going to look brand new" Sesshomaru said and Kagome nodded her head. Did Sesshomaru ust call her Doll? Whether he meant it as a term of endearment or not, it still made Kagome slightly blush. Feeling the warmth spread across her face, Kagome slightly turned her head away and stared out of the window.
The drive to the café was short which Kagome didn't mind at all. Being this close to Sesshomaru and with no way to escape made Kagome slightly nervous. He was her boss and he made Kagome feel things that Kagome has never felt before.
"Damn it Kagome get you mind out of the gutter. This is your boss" Kagome said to herself. After Sesshomaru pulled into the parking spot, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Kagome. Once again Kagome blushed as Sesshomaru held out his hand and help Kagome out of the car.
"Either this guy is a true gentleman or he is up to something" Kagome added as she smiled softly and thanked Sesshomaru for helping her out of the car. After the two of them entered the café, they immediately placed their order to the waitress standing behind of the registered. Kagome decided to order a Thai chicken salad with lemonade and Sesshomaru ordered a turkey club sandwich with a lemonade as well.
Once the two of them were done ordering, they took a seat at one of the booths that had a view of the city.
"So how are you liking your job so far, Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome was glad that Sesshomaru was making small talk because she wasn't sure how she would be able to handle the awkward silence between the two of them. "It's great. A little weird because this is my first time working at a place like that" Kagome said and then she realize that she had jeopardize her job moments ago when she scratched into Sesshomaru's car.
"Again Sesshomaru I am so sorry about earlier. I meant it when I said that I will find a way to make it up to you" Kagome said as she pouted once again.
Seeing Kagome pout the way she did gave Sesshomaru the urge to lean forward and give Kagome a quick kiss on her lips, just to see how she would react. However he had a feeling that he would enjoy it too much and that he wouldn't be able to focus on the real reason why he hired Kagome in the first place. Also Kagome must never know the real reason why Sesshomaru hired her in the first place and that is to save Inuyasha's life.
Lately Inuyasha has been doing a lot of risk taking activity that it made Sesshomaru slightly nervous. Yes Inuyasha may be an idiot at times, however Sesshomaru would be devastated if Inuyasha lost his life, even if it was his idiotic lifestyle that sent him to his grave.
"Don't worry about it Kagome. I know you didn't mean it. Accidents do happen Kagome, but its okay. I am not mad at you" Ssshomaru said. Kagome did her best to nod her head, however she was still going to find a way to make it up to Sesshomaru. One way or the other.
"However there is something I want you to promise me, Kagome" Sesshomaru said.
"What it is Sir?" Kagome asked.
Sesshomaru smirked. "This is a dangerous world you have entered Kagome. So promise me that no matter what happens, to always be true to yourself and to what you want in life. Never let anyone or anything tell you that you are not good enough, because I can tell that you Ms. Kagome Higurashi are destined for great things" Sesshomaru said and Kagome nodded her head.
Not sure what he meant by that, Kagome had the urge to ask him but decided not too. As their food and drinks finally arrived, Kagome quietly ate her food as she thought about what Sesshomaru had told her. Watching Kagome eat her food, Sesshomaru had a feeling that their lives will forever change the moment Kagome sees the beauty that lives within his lifestyle. One way or the other, Kagome had the power to either make his world beautiful or destroy it and sadly Sesshomaru promised himself that he would endure any type of pain Kagome inflicts on him.
Because the truth was, Sesshomaru wanted Kagome all to himself, however he made a promise to Inuyasha's parents before they died that he would always watch out for him. Even if it means handing Kagome over to him then Sesshomaru would do it. He would much rather live a life alone then see his best friend destroy his.

NEXT TIME ON CLAIMED CHAPTER 3: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WANTING AND NEEDING.
"You know I was really hoping for a fresh new start, Sesshomaru. Maybe I think its best if I should return to my old job and just work there until something better happens. I mean its clearly that Inuyasha never liked me in the first place" Kagome said as she wiped the tears away from her face.
"Let me ask you this Kagome. How badly do you want your job back?" Sesshomaru asked. The fact that Inuyasha had actually fired Kagome had left a bad taste in Sesshomaru's mouth. Not only because of the fact that he enjoys Kagome company but the fact that Kagome might just end up returning to her old job at the Shikon made Sesshomaru's blood boil.
"Believe me Sesshomaru. I don't want to live the rest of my life as a stripper. These past few weeks have the been the best and fact that I can finally save some money and not have to worry about struggling feels amazing. So honestly Sesshomaru I would do anything to get my job back as Inuyasha's secretary" Kagome said.
"Alright then. This is what you have to do" Sesshomaru said as he leaned forward and whispered softly into Kagome's ears. After hearing Sesshomaru's plan, Kagome couldn't help but gasp at what Sesshomaru has in mind. There is no way in hell Kagome would be able to do something like that and not make a complete fool of herself.
