Sitting in the small waiting room, Kagome couldn't help but be flustered. After discovering her now ex-boyfriend and her accountant were in cahoots to steal her inheritance, Kagome ditched them both. Taking her best friend's advice, she found herself sitting in the tiny office of one the best accountants in the city. She could only hope that he could find everything the two thieves had done.
Taking in the minimalist décor, Kagome was at least relieved he wasn't pilfering his clients money for his own selfish means. Her extensive background check discovered more of the same: modest apartment, no kids, no significant other. In fact, the P.I. called him "a hermit". Kagome scoffed at that notion. If he had blood running through his veins there had to be someone he was boning on a regular basis.
"Maybe he's gay."
Rather pleased with her own deduction, Kagome's mind went back to her last few months of insanity. Kouga was everything she thought she wanted in a man: tall, dark and handsome. Introduced by her accountant, Hakudoshi, she had no reason to not believe Kouga was trustworthy. He wined and dined her, unknown by Kagome, with her own money. Only through their own carelessness had they been caught. A bitter pleasure went through Kagome as she thought of both of them being someone's prison bitch! All she needed was for the new accountant to uncover any other improprieties.
The secretary indicated she could enter the office. As she walked in, Kagome was surprised to see that behind the nerdy glasses was the most handsome man she had seen. As she took in his deep violet eyes, his glowing tan skin and rick black hair that was currently in a tight braid, she prayed one simple thing,
"God, I hope I was wrong!"
