Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, nor would I lie and say I did. Okay, so don't sue
It was Tuesday morning and still he had not found a suitable secretary. He was irritated beyond what his normal irritation level was and his patience was fading and dangling by a thin strand. Did someone really have it out for him? With that thought he called Jaken.
"Jaken who's idea was it that Kagura be hired?" he asked in a pissy mood.
"My Lord it was Naraku of Spider Inc. who suggested she was a hard worker, so you hired her despite her annoying qualities because you thought she was capable of behaving properly," Jaken recalled acutely.
"Jaken how many applications have you received?"
"We have received many Lord Sesshomaru, but only 5 seem qualified enough to be given the job, and we've already interviewed one of them," he said much to assuredly.
Sesshomaru not liking the tone of his voice and the possibility that he may be stuck with Jaken came up with a rather intriguing idea.
"Jaken have the filled out applications sent to me now," now that he was thoroughly pleased with himself, he was going to look through all the applicants himself to find someone suitable. 'After all if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself,' he thought to himself.
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama, it will be done," Jaken immediately hung up and decided to deliver the requested applications to his Lord. Nothing gave him greater joy than to serve his Lord personally.
He got out of his chair and made his way to the giant marble door. Before he opened the door he made sure to knock remembering what could happen if he didn't. After ten seconds, a response was delivered from a smooth, velvety, baritone voice from behind the door.
"Enter," it commanded.
Jaken entered rather hurriedly and clearly excited to be of some use to his Lord.
"I have what you requested my Lord," he said grinning with adoration his eyes.
"Jaken see that I am not disturbed by anyone for the next hour or I will hold you accountable. Am I understood?" he said daring the toad demon to defy him
"Yes of course my Lord," he said as he bowed all the way to the floor conveying his loyalty.
"Jaken," he said in a quiet voice.
"Yes?" he said unsure of what was about to happen.
"Leave," he stated coldly while narrowing his golden eyes promising death or punishment.
The scared toad then ran out of the office fearing his lord's wrath. He closed the door to his Lord's office and ran to his desk out in the lobby. He sighed in relief when he realized he was not going to die… yet.
Meanwhile…
He was finally relieved of the annoying toad… for now, at least until he found the perfect secretary. Finally reminded of his plan, he began searching for his next employee. He opened the manila folder with the applicants and he began to read all the details of each one.
He came across the first applicant. "Hmm… Taija Sango." 'She certainly seems qualified enough,' he thought pleasantly until he looked at the bottom of her application in bold print.
'Arrested 14 times in just the last year for assault and battery, attempted murder, and carrying an unlicensed hiraikotsu.'
' I will certainly not be hiring someone so violent as she clearly is. It will not do at all.'
He pulled out the next application. " Toshiba Miroku." 'Why does that name sound so familiar?' he questioned. He decided to read on believing it would spark some of his memory to return.
' Fired 3 times on an account of sexual harassment.'
'Now I remember he is Inuyasha's acquaintance. He is the hentai that all the women speak of. I will not have him groping any of my female employees.'
Feeling unsuccessful, he decided to continue looking because he was not going to endure Jaken. That wan not an option. As he gathered his inspiration, he looked to the next application. " Toshiba Rin." ' If she is related to Miroku, this may not work.'
As he read on, he expected that he would find a major flaw, but all he found was the following:
' Rin Toshiba Age: 19 Sex: F Species: Human
Experience: 3 years College attended: Tokyo University
Degrees acquired: Associate Master's, Business Master's'
He stopped reading altogether and decided that he would interview her, but if she through herself at him like all other women he would shred her with his claws.
With his mind made up he decided to inform Jaken of his decision and make sure that he scheduled the interview promptly at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon.
He called Jaken and informed him of his intentions.
"But my Lord! She is far too young and-"
"You Dare to Challenge me Jaken," he said determined to kill Jaken if he said the wrong thing again.
"No my Lord, it's just that she's so young, so how could she be mature enough to handle what this job entails, even if she is experienced and very educated, I fear she would not-"
" Never the less, you Will do as This Sesshomaru wills."
"Yes, my Lord I will see to it!"
Sesshomaru then hung up in the damn toad's face. If what Jaken said proved to be true then he would be highly entertained, but he would find out tomorrow.
Meanwhile
A young girl was screaming at her cousin once again for groping her friends.
"MIROKU! DIDN'T I MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT MY FRIENDS WERE OFF LIMITS?"
"Yes but Sango's butt, and Kagome's chest are simply-"
"Enough you pervert, and you wonder why you can't keep a job. If you kept your hands to yourself maybe you would have a steady income hentai. I mean really how would you feel if some guy groped me?"
"Well for starters he wouldn't be able to produce children, and you wouldn't be anywhere near him or any other man long enough to get groped, ogled, or dated," he stated rather seriously.
Miroku was highly protective of his little cousin. After her parents had passed away 7 years ago she had come to stay with him because he was her closest living relative who could actually care for her. She was 12 years old and Miroku was barely 18. He was more like a brother to her than a father, and they were very close.
He only gave her one rule, and that rule was no dating and the obvious. Even now that she was basically an adult, he had not approved of any of her past boyfriends because he said they were only interested in one thing.
"Honestly Miroku, if that's the way you feel then why don't you respect other women?"
"Because…. it's this cursed hand Rin," he said trying to find a reasonable excuse.
"Miroku the only thing that all the males in our family are cursed is extremely high sexual tension, and maybe if you would treat a girl with respect she would be more apt to go out with you."
"Rin, I always treat women with respect," an obvious lie.
"Well tell that to Kagome and Sango," and you have to apologize to tonight when they arrive.
"And where do you think you're going?" he asked getting annoyed.
"I'm going to Club Shikon of course, it's Friday!" she said excitedly.
"Well make sure you all stay in a group, and absolutely no drinking understood?"
"Miroku the only thing I ever drink at the club is a virgin strawberry daiquiri," she said getting irritated.
"Well you just make sure that you return home in the same state as that daiquiri," he said trying to protect her honor.
"Why is it that-", she was cut off as the phone rang. "Aren't you going to answer the phone, you are right there.
"NOPE," he said with a lop-sided grin on his face.
She ran to the couch that Miroku was occupying and picked up the phone that rested on the side table adjacent to the couch.
"Moshi Moshi," She said in a friendly tone.
"Yes this is Jaken from Inu Inc. I would like to speak to Toshiba Rin please."
"This is she, how can I help you," she said hoping that she had at least gotten the interview to the most prestigious computer company in all of Japan.
" Toshiba-San I would like to inform you that tomorrow you will have an interview here at precisely 3:00 tomorrow, if you are still interested," he said not giving up his chance to serve Sesshomaru for the rest of his life.
"Yes of course I'm still interested. I'll be there."
"Well do try and be on time. Lord Sesshomaru does not tolerate tardiness. Good-bye."
Before she could utter the word bye, he rudely hung up in her face. She was just excited to have an interview, and if she got the job her salary would be anywhere from 30-60 yen per hour. Oh yes, college had definitely helped her out.
"So who was it, and where are you going to now?"
"I got a prostitution job just down the block, know anyone who wouldn't mind being my VERY first customer?" she said only half seriously.
" Haha very funny, now who was it?" he said not in the mood for her joking.
"Well it appears that I have an interview tomorrow at three at Inu. Inc. I applied for a secretary position," she said happily.
"Wait a minute- I applied for that same job last week and you mean to tell me that you managed to get an interview before me!" he said shocked.
"Well maybe it's because I haven't been fired on 3 accounts of sexual harassment," she said in sarcastic wonder.
"I may have been fired for that reason, but that's not what happened. Honest Rin!" he said trying to gain her belief in him.
"Yes I believe you."
"Really?" he asked not believing her.
"Yes, I believe that accidentally bumped into her and your wandering hand found itself in the wrong place every time you bumped into her," she said innocently.
"You finally understand my plight! Thank heavens someone believes me," he sighed in relief.
"Miroku do you know that if you weren't so loaded with money how screwed we would be?"
"No, but would you like to give me an idea?"
Suddenly the doorbell rang, and Rin bolted across the marble floor nearly slipping in her socks, but she managed to answer the door unscathed.
"Hi guys!" she said excited to see her friends.
"Rin are you kidding me, you're not even dressed yet. We're suppose to meet Inuyasha in less than 30 minutes and it takes 23 minutes to get to the club, and he's always early," said an angry girl with violet eyes and long, silky black hair.
"Kagome I was in the process, but I got side tracked because of Miroku," she gestured to the couch where Miroku was sitting, but he didn't seem to notice Rin or Kagome. His attention was completely on the girl with fiery brown eyes, with a long pony tail, and-"
But his thoughts were interrupted when a pillow came flying and hit him in the face.
"Excuse me! I was fantasizing about the lovely Sango!" he suddenly got up and went towards her direction, but before he could get any closer she kicked him the groin.
"If you so much as try to grope me again lecher you will never be able to reproduce again," she said not wanting to deal with him at the moment.
"Rin! Help me!" he cried out as Sango held herself in battle position as he laid out on the floor feeling very sore.
"Don't bother calling her hentai. She went upstairs 3 minutes ago and she's not coming down until she's 100 percent ready understood?" said an annoyed Kagome.
"Hey Rin! Are you ready yet? Kagome's losing her mind and if she doesn't see Inuyasha soon you know what's going to happen," she said remembering how Kagome got if she was separated from Inuyasha.
"I'm coming!" she yelled back not wanting to see Kagome lose her mind. Not a second later Rin ran downstairs in a black halter-top, black boot-cut pants, and her amazing black Mary Jane heels. She completed her look with a cute up-do and long sterling silver earrings, and light make-up. She even had time to take a two-minute shower.
" Wow, Rin that was fast. You look great and Kagome hasn't even gone into psycho mode yet," said an impressed Sango.
"Well if you don't stop talking and moving to the car I will turn into a psycho," she said getting ticked off by the mere thought of being late.
With that the girls all headed to the club in the silver Porsche that was waiting outside.
"Rin we're 5 minutes behind schedule!" said an exasperated Kagome.
"I'm sorry Kagome, but maybe it would help if you called him and informed him that we are going to be a few minutes late," she suggested.
"Yeah Kagome just call him," Sango added for extra support.
"Fine, but we'll need to stop at the gas station or else we'll be pushing the Porsche to the club and back," she sighed finally giving in.
Meanwhile at Club Shikon
Kagome had just called him to let him know that she would be a little late, but where was Kouga? He was supposed to come along with Miroku about 10 minutes ago. Knowing them the idiots had probably forgotten.
He was wearing a red partially unbuttoned, button down shirt with black pants and his unruly hair was left to hang down. His dog-ears twitched with impatience.
Inuyasha was sitting in the velvety V.I.P. section completely adorned in white and black, awaiting his girlfriend and friends, when suddenly a waitress came to him.
"Would you like a drink Inuyasha-Sama?"
"Yeah, I want a Heineken on the rocks thanks," he said gratefully.
"No problem, oh by the way, there is a man here requesting to see you. Would you like me to send him in?"
"Yeah send him right on in," he said thinking that it was Miroku or Kouga.
Five minutes later the waitress appeared with his guest, and to Inuyasha's horror it wasn't at all who he he'd been expecting.
"Why hello Inu-hottie! I've been looking forward to tonight since yesterday," said an overly excited Jakotsu.
Jakotsu had on his best black Gucci suit, along with his gator shoes. He even wore his hair down and it was straightened with care.
"Oh Inuyasha! Do you like it? I did all of this for you!"
If it was even still possible Inuyasha's eyes got as big as saucers, and he wondered how Jakotsu found him. 'He even called me yesterday, which was even weirder. How the hell did he get my number if I ain't in the phone book?' he wondered to himself.
"I don't know how you got a hold of me, but if you don't leave right now I'll kill you and never regret it," he said his eyes tinting red and his aura promising pain.
"I'll never give up Inu, and though I may have admitted defeat today, I will not lose the war! Good- Bye my love!" he claimed.
As soon as he left, Inuyasha ran to the bathroom and vomited all of the contents of his stomach in the toilet.
Meanwhile in the same club in a different V.I.P room across from Inuyasha's
The Ice Lord was actually chuckling at the scene that had just enfolded in front of him only a few moments ago, it had been Sesshomaru's only reason for attending. He hadn't really been in the mood for women tonight, so he came to be entertained by Inuyasha's embarrassment.
Perhaps he would even give Jakotsu Inuyasha's home address, that would be entertaining. He was dressed in a white button down shirt, which was partly unbuttoned, and black slacks. His beautiful hair was in a ponytail because he was working on his laptop currently doing some research on a company that was interested in doing business with his own.
Just as he had closed the computer, he looked out the window, and below three attractive women entered the club, but only one of them truly caught his eye. She had startling almond eyes and her hair was up, and she was dressed in black.
'Well perhaps I could talk to one woman.' Just as that thought escaped him he saw Inuyasha come and embrace one of the other women, and he remembered her as his current girlfriend, Kagome.

On the Dance Floor
"Keh, what the hell took you so long? You guys are 20 minutes late!" he said upset that he had to wait so long.
"Well after we got gas for the car, we realized that we all had to go to the bathroom, and so we went to the restroom, but the line was a hell of long, so that took about 10 minutes, and then we were 7 minutes away from the club and it took 2 minutes to park, because of how hectic it is outside. Not to mention Rin wasn't ready when we went to pick her up," breathed Kagome.
Inuyasha seemed to be getting impatient, he then came around Kagome and wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered something in her ear. Suddenly Kagome spoke up.
"We'll see you guys in about 15 minutes or so, so if you need us we'll be in the V.I.P."
"Fine we'll be on the dance floor," said Rin.
" Correction, you'll be on the dance floor, and I'll be at the bar," stated Sango matter of factly.
"Fine, but please stay in one spot Sango," she said afraid that their group would get split up and something terrible would happen.
"Don't worry Rin, I'll be watching you the entire time, and if a jerk makes the wrong move on you, I'll be there to pound him okay?" she convinced.
"Okay, but don't drink too much," she said worriedly.
"I'll be fine Rin so go out there and find some hottie to groove with."
Making up her mind that everything would be all right, Rin went to the dance floor and started dancing to the song that was playing.
If
I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me
what would you do
Just as she began dancing a man began dancing behind her and his hands moved slowly to her waist almost as if seeking permission, and if that was the case he was definitely given permission.
If
I told you, you were beautiful
Would you page me on the regular
They both swayed to the music, and she still had yet to see the stranger who was dancing behind her, but she did know that who ever he was he smelled amazing.
Well
baby I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another
girl like you
She was even more beautiful up close than faraway and even though she was only a human, he could afford to dance with her for just this once, but something told him he would want to do more than dance with her if they maintained their closeness.
This
ring here represents my heart
But there is just one thing I need
from you saying I do
She smelled simply divine, like tropical fruit, and his senses ran wild as she grabbed his hands and wrapped them around herself pulling him closer to her.
Because,
I can see us holding hands
walking on the beach our toes in the
sand
I can see us in the country side
sitting in the grass
laying side by side
You can be my baby
Gonna' make you my
lady
Girl you amaze me
Ain't gotta' do nothin' crazy
See
all I want you to do is be my love
My
love
My love
During the chorus of the song, he turned her around so that she was facing him, but she still couldn't identify his features because she was pressed against him and all she could make out were his abs because he was probably about a foot and a half taller than her.
And I know no woman that could take your spot
My
love
My love
My love
Now
If I wrote you a love note
And make you smile with every word I
wrote what would you do
They continued swaying to the music, but she was unsatisfied because she couldn't see whom she was dancing with.
Would
that make you wanna change your scene
And wanna be the one in my
scene tell me would you
See
what's the point in waiting any more
Cause girl I've never been
more sure that baby it's you
This
ring here represents my heart
And everything that you been waiting
for Just saying I do
'Curse being short,' she thought annoyed with the fact that she couldn't see who it was that was holding her so close, she wanted to see this mystery man again, but how?
Because,
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach our toes in the
sand
I can see us in the country side
Sitting in the grass
laying side by side
You can be my baby
Gonna make you my
lady
Girl you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin crazy
See all
I want you to do is be my love
Just as she was about to ask him who he was and if they could see each other again, he bent down and pressed his lips against hers. She closed her eyes out of instinct as she felt the sparks of electricity travel down her spine. Then he ended their kiss and whispered in her ear. "I enjoyed the dance, sayonara," he said in a deep sexy voice and just as she opened her eyes, he had disappeared as if he was never there at all.
