Love in Unexpecting Places
Chapter 3
~~~ Two years later~~~
"Kagome" Sango yelled as she barged into Kagome's office at MIKO INC.," you will never guess who the top company for the year is!"
"Let me guess" Kagome started enthusiastically. "WEST INC." Kagome rolled her eyes Sango did this to her every year because she knew that Sesshomaru had a thing for Kagome.
"Nope." Sango played back
"Then who is it Sango?" Kagome asked annoyed
"If you are going to act like that I will just wait and let Kikyou tell you when she gets here." Sango retorted.
"I swear Sango you are like a child sometimes, Kikyou is going to be late today she's having brunch with Inuyasha." Kagome said
"Well then I guess you will have to wait" Sango said before she went back to her office.
Kagome shook her head and decided she was going to do her rounds to see if everyone was getting their work done and on her way down, she was going to find Ayame to see what the company stats were.
~~~~Kikyou and Inuyasha~~~~
Kikyou and Inuyasha met at a small coffee house outside of town. This coffee house had a big significance in their relationship because it was the first place they met. Kikyou was a server and Inuyasha had made a mess spilling coffee while meeting with his father and Sesshomaru.
"Kikyou, I have a serious question for you and I want a serious answer." Inuyasha started.
Kikyou hesitantly replied "Okay, Inuyasha"
Inuyasha got down on one knee, opening a ring box, and looked Kikyou in the eyes while she stared at him not quite processing what he was doing. "Kikyou, I know we have been through a lot since we met, and as you know this is the place where we first laid eyes on each other. I fell in love with you when I first saw you in this little shop and I knew immediately that you were the only one for me. So Kikyou, my love, will you become my wife and mate for life?" Inuyasha finished with a hopeful look on his face.
Kikyou was stunned and speechless, all she could do was smile and nod her head yes. Inuyasha slid the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately.
~~~~ Sesshomaru's office~~~~
~~~Beware~~~
"MIROKU!" Sesshomaru roared as he looked at the stats update effectively breaking another desk.
Miroku hesitantly opened the door to Sesshomaru's office because he knew that voice meant trouble. "Yes, Sir?" Miroku said.
"Why is WEST INC. in second place this year?" Sesshomaru barked out angrily
"I have no idea how we've been working non-stop to be at the top, everyone's been working overtime." Miroku stated.
"Well Miko INC has some how made it to the top, Miroku, tell me how a woman who has been doing this for two years has brought her company to the top, when I have been doing this for as long as I can remember." Sesshomaru said rather coldly.
"I'm not sure." Miroku defended. 'Why doesn't he just ask her they have a company meeting in two days." He thought
~~~~ MIKO INC~~~~
Kagome was about to walk back into her office to call Kikyou when she noticed her door was slightly open, specifically remembering she had closed it. Opening the door wider, she noticed two people were sitting in front of her desk.
"Kagome, its about time you got here." Sango said "we've been waiting for you and Kikyou wouldn't tell me why until you were here too."
"So what's so important that I had to be here too." Kagome asked
"Well I have two things do you want to hear the exciting or the really exciting news first." Kikyou said.
"I don't care Kikyou you choose, you know I do not like surprises so just spill it." Kagome said back
"Well Kagome, we are number one for the year in company stats!" Kikyou said excitedly.
"I already knew that!" Sango cut in
Kagome looked like she was about to faint, they had been working super hard to be number one. They were keeping a steady top 3 for the last two years, since her dad handed over his company. "So now what's the exciting news, since that has to be the really exciting news? I mean what could be more exciting. She finally said.
"Well, Inuyasha proposed!" Kikyou screamed making Sango jump. "That is what is more exciting," Kikyou said.
"Congratulations!" Kagome and Sango said in unison. Kikyou put her hand up so they could finally see the ring.
"WOW, that's a rock!" Sango said looking at Kikyou's ring. It was a solitaire ring set in 18K white gold and features a beautiful round Forevermark 1.5 carat diamond, with a pavé band.
~~~~Later that day~~~~
"So Kagome are we going to go find a new condo?" Sango asked.
"Yeah we can, I saw this place a couple blocks away from the office and thought we could look there." Kagome replied.
Kagome and Sango went were looking at a condominium down from their office. When the girls came out with their realtor, Sango managed to bump into someone.
"I'm so sorry." Sango said as she looked up to find she had bumped into a handsome man with short black hair and what almost looked like violet eyes.
"It's quite alright" Miroku replied while taking in her appearance. "It's not everyday you run into a beautiful lady."
"Th-thank you" Sango said back as a blush spread across her face. "I'm Sango."
"Miroku" he replied as he was about to make a pass at her when he saw another woman coming up to them.
"Sango why'd you stop" Kagome said as she came up behind Sango not noticing the man standing there. Kagome had a tendency to over look men; she was a workaholic and did not date.
"Wow, I must have gone to heaven, two beautiful ladies in one day." Miroku said in a daze.
"And who are you?" Kagome asked rudely
"Oh, Kagome I just met him, I accidently bumped into him coming out of the condo. His name is Miroku." Sango said looking at her friend.
"Hi, Miroku Houshi" Miroku introduced as Kagome looked at him as if she was unimpressed. "And I was just leaving" he added not bothered by the coldness considering who his boss was. 'They'd make a good pair, cold' Miroku though as he walked to the elevator.
"Kagome you didn't have to be so rude, he seemed nice." Sango said.
"Did you see the way he was looking at you, Sango, like you were a piece of meat? He deserved it." Kagome replied
"So did you ladies decide whether you want the condo or not?" Mika (property owner) asked.
"Sango?" Kagome asked
"I believe we'll take it" Sango replied
"You may pick your keys up in the morning and we will finish your paper work then as well. You may move in tomorrow if you'd like." Mika told the girls as they left the building.
Sango and Kagome headed to their apartment to pack so they could move tomorrow since they had to be back to work in two days for the meeting with the top three companies in Japan.
~~~~Sesshomaru~~~~
Sesshomaru returned home after along day at the office, he was looking forward to a long hot shower and some food so that he could relax and think about how he was going to get back on top. Sesshomaru was not a person to mess with and he did not like coming in second in anything. Anything that wasn't first was losing, and Sesshomaru Tashio was not a loser.
Ring Ring
"Hello" Sesshomaru said with a bored tone. What could his brother want now?
"Sesshomaru I have a question for you." Inuyasha started "I want you to really think about this because it's pretty important."
"Okay" Sesshomaru said
"I want you to be the best man at my wedding." Inuyasha said. "I need two of you and I have Miroku for my second and you're my brother and it would mean a lot to Kikyou and me if you would step in for me."
"I'll do it" Sesshomaru replied in a bored annoyed tone.
"Thank you so much Sesshomaru" Inuyasha said
"Don't take it personally I still don't like you." Sesshomaru said.
"Got it" Inuyasha said.
Sesshomaru finally was able to relax. Rin was with his father for the weekend and he had the place to himself. It was time for a shower then a sandwich.
~~~~Kikyou and Inuyasha~~~~
"I want to have a bachelorette/bachelor party together, I know this great club and Kagome needs a date and maybe one of your friends would be good for her." Kikyou started.
"Yeah, sure." Inuyasha said.
"Okay thank you babe. I will get on the preparations" Kikyou kissed Inuyasha before she went to shower and then headed to bed.
"Night babe" Inuyasha said as he finished his show.
