Chapter 3

Today was not starting off good. He came to work early like he is always did and had went to make his coffee just to see that there were no filters and he was to proud to go on a search for any. He angrily walked back to his office. Someone was getting fired today.

He was organizing his paperwork when he heard the elevator ding. He looked at the clock and knew it was too early for the three people that work up here with him to be here. They always were right on time and never early. He wondered who else would be here this early and had the nerve to exit on his floor. Quietly, he put his ear to the door and listened to what appeared to be a female walking in the opposite direction of his office.

Once he opened his door, he was gifted with the most pleasant scent that he had smelled in ages. He recalled smelling it before just ignoring it until now which meant it belonged to a human. He knew who it belonged to and wondered why she was up here. He mimicked her footsteps which lead him to his break room.

Upon entering his was greeted with a wonderful sight, her bent over looking into one of his cabinets. He took a generous moment to examine her voluptuous backside. Her black skirt outlined her hourglass figure nicely without being provocative. The vision of her on stage flashed in his mind but was cut short when he heard her mumble.

"I will take that into consideration."

She jumped up so fast he thought she would fall but she balanced herself before addressing him.

" Mr. Tashio." Her wide eyes and reddening face was starting to make his blood boil. Why was she affecting him so?

"Can I help you with something, Miss Higurashi?"

"N-No sir, I was just looking for coffee filters because we are out." Not only his break room out but Inuyasha's out as well? Yes, someone was definitely getting fired today.

"As you are aware, this break room is out as well. I will consider your suggestion."

"Oh no sir, I just was frustrated is all, I wasn't trying to suggest-"

"Miss Higurashi, you requested to assist me, is that correct?" She was entertaining him, never had he so much fun, he could smell the nervousness rolling off her and it thrilled him. It was thrilling to have this small female who showed so much confidence the other night so nervous with him when all others threw themselves at him. He slowly leaned in, to look into her eyes better.

"Y-Yes."

Her scent was suddenly laced with her arousal and the smell almost sent his beast into a frenzy, he needed to leave. Now.

He took one last breath through his nose one last time and would have shuddered if it wasn't for his control. He stared at her a moment longer then stood to his normal towering height.

"Then I will see you Saturday. Do not be late."

She was sure she was having a heart attack. She watched Mr. Tashio leave to room and leaned back against the counter.

'What just happened?'

Regaining her composure, she straightened up her outfit and headed to the elevator. She had never been so close to him. His short black hair was in perfect unison and his eyes were a light brown. His skin was pale but it looked perfect. She thought he might actually kiss her he leaned in so close. By the time she made it back to her floor she sat down in her chair and could feel her wetness. She couldn't believe it. Inuyasha never made her lose herself like that and being with Mr. Tashio for five minutes had her ready for intimacy.

Saturday! Oh, god. Hopefully Saturday wasn't so intense or weird for that matter. She looked at the time and decided to go to the coffee shop down the street. If she was late, she was sure Inuyasha would understand. She going for him anyway.

She was about to order when she realized that Mr. Tashio might want one as well. After all, he did know that they were out of filters. She would buy him one and if he didn't want it then he could just trash it.

She decided to get a herself a caramel frappuccino as well. When she re-entered the office most of the employees had arrived. She put her coffee on her desk and knocked on Inuyasha's door which received no answer. She assumed he wasn't there yet and opened the door to place his coffee down when she walked in on him and Kikyo. Kikyo was sitting on his desk with him between her legs and his hands in her hair having an intense make out session. She quickly shut the door blushing and put his coffee on the edge of her desk, her jovial mood instantly dissipated. Grabbing Mr. Tashio's coffee she headed back up to his floor, her anxiety was swallowing her. What if he didn't even drink coffee? She left it black because she had no idea what he liked but it seemed to her he would be a black coffee drinker. Taking a deep breath when the doors opened she walked out and was stared at by the three other men there. She assumed they didn't get visitors up there, ever.

She walked to his office door when one of the guys said, "I wouldn't go in there if I were you."

"Why?" she asked.

"Because we are out of coffee filters which means he hasn't had his coffee which always means someone will be fired and our lives will be hell today."

She smiled, so he was like Inuyasha. Those men lived for their coffee.

"Who do you think I have this for?" she asked holding up the cup.

They looked and each other and then smiled at her.

"You are heaven sent, what was your name again?"

"It's Kagome." She finished as she knocked on the door. Her nerves started sparking again when she heard a sharp 'enter' from the other side. She had never seen the inside of his office and suddenly she couldn't wait to see it.

She opened the large doors and gaped at it. She thought Inuyasha's office was beautiful. His was nice compared to owner of the company.

"Miss Higurashi." She turned red from embarrassment at losing herself in her thoughts to face him. His stoic demeanor was appreciated right then. When her attention was focused on him again, he continued.

"Was there something you needed?"

"No- I just- here." She walked to his desk and she extended her arm with the coffee. She stared as he just stared back. She saw something flash in his eyes. She swore it was amusement or something. Standing up, he walked around his desk to place himself in front of her.

"What makes you think I drink coffee?" Leaving her extended, suddenly she felt cocky. This man made her feel things no one else had. It seemed like her body had a slight burn feeling, not bad, just different. Weird.

"Well, for one, you knew that you were out of filters which I assumed you must have figured out when you attempted to make coffee this morning and if you're anything like your brother, you'll be in a grumpy mood all day."

"I am nothing like my brother but otherwise good observation." He reached out and grasped the paper coffee cup gently grazing his fingers over hers and her arousal filled his office and he smirked. He wondered how she would react.

"I hope you put sugar and cream in it or you can have it back." There it was. Her scent flourished with spiciness and …power? Now, he was very intrigued. A miko in this day and age? It seemed impossible.

There was fire in her eyes and a something wild, it continued to arouse his beast.

He watched her walk out of his office, her back tense with irritation he could see and smirked again. She was holding back.

'This is going to be interesting.' He thought sipping on his coffee as the door to his office was slammed.

She was a bit irritated when she made it back down to her desk but the irritation wore off as the reality set in that on Saturday she would be in that office by herself with Mr. Tashio. She didn't appreciate his response after she went through the trouble to get him a coffee but since that happened to be the second time she actually spoke face to face with him, she let it slide. Next time, she would tell him just what she thought. It didn't matter to her if he was the CEO of the company, no one should be treated with disrespect or as if they were just dirt. She turned her head as Inuyasha's door started to open.

Kikyo walked out re-adjusting her mini skirt and she wanted to puke. Why? Why, Inuyasha? Why her? What about her appealed to you? Many times she fantasied about what she and Inuyasha could do in that office of his, and here was Kikyo crushing another dream she had. Inuyasha followed her out and they kissed before she entered the elevator to leave.

She smiled at Inuyasha as he turned to her.

"Good morning, Inuyasha. How was your weekend?"

"Busy. Kikyo had me helping her finish details of the wedding I don't care about. Does anyone actually care what type of font is on the seating cards?"

She laughed. "I wouldn't care about that but I am positive you'll be entertaining many wealthy and powerful people. It might matter to them."

"Feh, doesn't matter to me either way. I'd prefer something small but Kikyo wants to go all out."

"I suppose that's what normal girls want." The way he smiled at her made her heart melt.

"But not you Kagome. You seem to me to be the type that would enjoy a small wedding, wouldn't you?"

She laughed, "I suppose I don't care for all the fluff."

She swore his eyes changed color then. They seemed a bit lighter than their normal shade. She noticed him look at his watch and then back her.

"Kagome, Sesshomaru accepted your offer. You are supposed to start this Saturday. Don't be late, one second and you're gone. And as always, thanks for the coffee Kagome!" He laughed as grabbed the coffee and walked back into his office.

'Well, that was weird. He left more abrupt than usual. I wonder what happened.'

Xx

Inuyasha entered his office and immediately dialed his brother's number.

"What is it, Inuyasha?" Came the stoic answer.

"Get your ass down here. There is something wrong with my watch, it started leaking my demonic energy when I was talking to Kagome."

"Did she see anything?"

"I doubt it, it happened to quickly and I left."

"Do not worry, Inuyasha. It would seem your secretary is a miko."

"What?! You can't be serious. I would have known by now, she's been working here for over a year. Why would she affect me now?"

"I do not know. I will finding out such information out Saturday."

"Hey-wait a min-"Click.

"God, I hate it when he does that shit."

Wait a minute…how would he know Kagome is a miko?
