Chapter 3 – Kagome's First Day

The next day, Kagome woke up and did her usual routine. She then went and say on her couch and thought about what happened in the last two days. Her interview, her boss, the meeting with his brother. It's been very interesting to her. Then when she went to Sango's she was assaulted with questions that she answered to her best knowledge. She didn't stay long knowing that she has to be prepared for her first day Monday.

FEEDBACK

"Sango I know that this is a new experience for me but I hope that I do a good job for my first day Monday".

"Nonsense Kagome. You'll do a fine job. Just think of it as your old job. You know you'll give it your all and you'll do you best".

"Yeah, I know. But I forgot to ask him what does his company do".

"Oh, his company is involved in real estate and technology and stuff like that. He also works with the law by providing them with funds or some of his professional investigators".

"I see. Quite an array of things".

"Yes, and he's a hard worker as well. Just last year he build an extra wing for Tokyo hospital just for children and pregnant women and their babies".

"Wow, that's really sweet of him".

"Yeah it is. All they got to do is pay their building fees".

"I see. You got to pay to be in there".

"Yep. So are you ready for your first day Kagome?"

"Yes, I am. I feel better whenever I talk to you".

"I see".

"Well, if you would excuse me I would like to go home and prepare myself for the job ahead".

"Oh sure Kagome, don't let me keep you waiting".

"Thanks Sango" Kagome said getting up to leave. "Well, I see you later".

"Okay, bye" Sango said.

END OF FLASHBACK

She spend all day in her home doing odd jobs around it and watched several movies before she knew it, it was bedtime. She got up got into her bedtime clothes and got into bed. She went into a blissful sleep as she snuggled into her blankets. Knowing that she will be working for a very handsome boss. Hopefully that's all she will see him as, her boss.

It's morning and the sun is shining in the sky. The rays went through Kagome's window as hits her face. She cringes as she is woken up by the bright like. She turns over and then opens her eyes slowly to get them adjusted to the light. She got up and did her morning routine. Today she is dressed in a light blue silk blouse and a black skirt that's down to her knees. He wore a pair of light blue heels and a black head band to finish the look as she wore her hair down with waves all around it. She then ate a nice sized breakfast of waffles, eggs and sausage. After that she grabbed her keys and purse and headed out the door. Once she got into her car and drove off she mentally prepares herself for the task at hand with her new boss, the CEO and the executive. She soon arrived at her destination and pulls into the employee parking lot which is right across the street from the office building. She got out of her car and into her new workplace.

Once she got into the elevators, her stomach suddenly got butterflies in them. She prayed that her day goes well as she steps out of the elevator. She looks up and see Miroku holding a nice briefcase in his left hand as he walks to meet Kagome the rest of the way. They greeted with a hand shake as he gestures Kagome to follow him down the wide hallway. On the way she see a big beautiful desk with a computer on it and a phone as well and a fax machine on the other side and if you can look under it, there's an all in one printer as well. It was behind a large window with a great view of downtown Tokyo. This desk has everything.

"It's good to see you again Miss Higurashi".

"Likewise I'm sure. Just a little nervous".

"I know you are. Just take deep breaths and just be yourself" Miroku said as he stops by a door. "As you can see Mr. Tashio's office is the only office on the top floor from the elevators. His special workers are under us one floor down. My office is two floors down".

"Where's Inuyasha's office?"

"His office is also under us, but he mostly works at home when there isn't any important matters to attend to".

"I see". Miroku gives Kagome the briefcase. A black leather briefcase with her initials engraved on it.

"This briefcase has everything you need to get you started for today. As you notice the desk we passed, that will be your desk. Mr. Tashio makes sure that you have everything to make you job easier for you Kagome".
"Thank you". Miroku nodded.

"Now it is time for you to meet the boss". Miroku knocked on the door and wait tell a voice said 'enter'. He then opened the door and went inside first. "Mr. Tashio, Miss Higurashi is here".

"Send her in". Miroku gestures Kagome to enter. She walked in to find her boss looking down reading his papers. "You may leave Miroku". Miroku nodded and left the office closing the door behind him.

"Sit down Kagome". Kagome jumped a bit at the voice as she walked over to his desk and sat down.

"Good morning Mr. Tashio".

"Good morning. Are you ready for today?" he said raising his head to look at her.

"Yes sir".

"Good. Let me fix you a drink". He got up and went to his small bar on the side of his office.

Kagome then got a good look at his office. It's BIG! No wonder his office is the only one on the top floor. He tad a door on the other side of his office. She look and found a soft-looking couch that was against a bay window. Across it was a fireplace with two chairs facing it and a small table between them. She then caught eye on her boss as he poured two glasses of wine from his bar. His office was amazing decorated with black and silver furnishings. Sesshoumaru notices the awe expression and walked over with the two glasses in his hand. He reach Kagome and offered her a glass which snapped her into reality. She looked up and took the glass.

"Thank you".

"You're welcome. I see you like my office".

"It's very beautiful. But what does that door lead to, if you don't mind me asking?" she said pointing to the closed door.

"That leads to my bedroom. Sometimes when its too late to drive home I sleeps here. Some of my clothes are also here. It is complete with a bathroom and shower as well".

"Good thinking". She sipped her wine and turned around in her seat to face his desk.

"I always be prepared Miss Higurashi, as I would expect the same for you" he said walking back to his desk to sit down.

"I'll do my best". He nodded as he looked at his papers. He grabbed a few papers and gave it to Kagome. She looked at the papers with a confusing look on her face.

"As you first task for today, I want you to fax these to the other offices. The numbers are listed on the very last page". Kagome nodded as she looked at her boss.

"Anything else Mr. Tashio?"

"Yes". He gave her another set of papers. "I want you to retype these and save it into your computer. It is the information about the company. It is strictly for your eyes only. So if you would put a password in your document as well". Kagome nodded. "I know that it sounds secretive but its not. I just want only you to have it right now. Everyone knows what my compnay does but those papers also contain the company policy and rules".

"And you want me to learn them, correct?"

'She's good' "Yes. As you know you will answer the phone and other clerical assignments. There's an intercom by the phone just in case I need to do something for me. I will also let you know to hold my calls when I'm busy and other things. You will catch on I'm sure".

"Yes I will sir".

"Good. Now with the papers you have you may return to your desk and start working". And with that Kagome nodded, stood and walked to the door.

"Oh and, Kagome". Kagome stopped in front of the door.

"Yes Mr. Tashio?"
"Again, welcome to Tashio Enterprise". Kagome nodded and thanked him before opening the door and leaving his office, closing the door behind her.

"Sigh...well, here goes nothing". And with that, she went to her new desk and began working.

Nearly three hours into her work and Kagome was nearly done with everything. All she has to do now is finish the compnay policy and rules. She was really into her work when she heard a small buzz that made her jump a bit, and she heard her boss's voice.

"Kagome".

Kagome pushes the button to answer, "Yes Mr. Tashio?"

"May I speak with you for just a moment?"

"Sure, I'll be right in". Kagome saved her work on her computer before getting up and head to her boss's office.

When Kagome opened the door, she peaked her head inside to see what Sesshoumaru wanted. He looked up and see his assistant's head through the door. Knowing she is still a bit nervous, he looked at her with those golden orbs as he spoke to her.

"You may come in Kagome. Have a seat". Kagome went on in his office and sat in a chair.

"Have you fax the papers?"

"Yes sir. It was the first thing I did. I'm nearly done with the policy and rules".

"I see". Sesshoumaru was surprised that she got that much done is a short time. Indeed she was efficient. "After you are done with that I want you to go to Miroku's office and see what job he wants you to perform, understood?"

"Completely Mr. Tashio". And with that Kagome excused herself and went back to her desk.
"I wander if I'm going to have an easy day today?" she added.

RING - "Hello, thanks for calling Tashio Enterprise. How may I help you?...okay...would you hold please?" Kagome push the hold button, hung it up and push the intercom button to call her boss..."Mr. Tashio there's a Kouga Ookami on line 1". He responded, "Thank you Kagome I'll get it".

After finishing her work, answering the phone and setting appointments and so forth, she got up and place the answering service on she did earlier and went down to Miroku's office to see what he wanted her to do. When she got downstairs, she saw a few desks and cubicles in which numerous of people where working in. When she got to Miroku's door she knocked on the door. When she heard a 'come in' through the door, she opened it and peeked inside. There she saw him typing on his keyboard and took a quick glance at her.

"Ah Miss Higurashi, come on in and have a seat". She went in closed the door, and took her seat in front of his desk. "Mr. Tashio called me to inform of your arrival. I see that you done your first task for today, correct?". Kagome nodded. "Good". He stopped typing and paid full attention to her. "So, what I want you to do today is make sure that Mr. Taship gets everything that he needs, sometimes I will need your assistance as well seeing that I am also your boss. Your are working for the staff of this company, but you are also over the people that are outside. Your are Mr. Tashio's administrative assistant".

"Administrative? But I thought I was just his regular assistant?"

"Now, that's why he wanted you here so I can break the news to you. With him, Inuyasha and me you are also on the leadership team. You are under me. When we are not here it is up to you to see that the basics of the company are running smoothly. That's why we wanted you to know the compnay inisde and out. Understand?"

"Yes, I get it now".

"Good. Now that is why you are down here. I believe that Inuyasha will be here later on. Perhaps he has something for you to do as well".

"Yeah we met before. He's somthing".

"I see. Yes, Mr. Tashio told me. The three of us alwasy discuss what's going on for the good of the company. Now that we have you, you will know as well. But the only exception is that you will be the last to know, because the three of us are in private meetings at times, and after we came to a decision, then one of us will tell you. You seem like you have good problem solving skills".

"Why, thank you Mr. Houshi".

"Now you may return to your desk until further notice".

"Ok". And with that Kagome stood, bowed and left his office and on her way back to the top floor.

She was really proud that she is in the leadership team. Now she has a reason to work hard and make sure that her bosses are proud of her, especially on particular one. She made it to her desk and sat down. Not within seconds of sitting down, the intercom buzzed. She push the button to see what said boss wanted her to do today.

"Yes Mr. Tashio".

"Will come inside for a moment?"

"Sure, on my way". She released the button and got up to go into Sesshoumaru's office. "Yes?"
"Miss Higurashi, have a seat". She walked over and took a seat.

"I am very proud of what you have did for your first day. It's not like most who would work with such profession. Miroku just called me and told me that he explained your real position. I am having an office built for you soon. That large spot will be turned into an office for people to go and sit and confirm appointments. Would that suffice?"
"Greatly! It's an honor to have such a deed". Sesshoumaru nodded.

"I would like to relieve you for the rest of the day. By this time there aren't hardly any calls and work to be done. But tomorrow I want you in full swing".

"Sure thing Mr. Tashio. I'm always ready for anything".

"Good. Now take these papers with you. They give you the latest information about the company. Remember, they are for your eyes only. Myself, Inuyasha and Miroku have the same papers and now that you found out about your real position you will be intitled to the company's files and such".

"I will keep sworn secrecy Mr. Tashio".

"Good. Now I will let you go for the rest of the day. Have a good day Miss Higurashi".

Kagome smiled and said, "You too Mr. Tashio". She stood up, bowed and left his office.

Stopping by her desk she gathered her things, turned everything off and put all her papers in her briefcase and locked it. She went into an elevator and pushed the button to the first floor. The elevator stopped on the 15th floor and door opened and Inuyasha walked inside. He turned around and saw Kagome standing there looking at him.

"Hey Kagome, what you doing?"

"I'm going home. Mr. Tashio gave me the rest of the day off, so I'm going home and rest. I had a pretty exciting day. What about you?"

"I'm going to lunch. I was down here most of the day seeing that everything was getting done. The 15th floor is the laziest floor in this building. They don't do much, but it's important for the company".

"What they do?"
"Er..."

"Oh and I know I'm the administrative assistant so you can tell me".

Inuyasha was surprised at this, "Who told you?"

"Miroku did".

"Oh, well, okay. That floor is in charge of ads and communications and shit like that".

"I see". The elevator doors opened and they stepped out. "Well, I'm going home. I see you tomorrow, maybe?"

"Yeah. I gottta get that floor to working. I rather do it than that bastard. He'll threatens more then I do but between me and him, it gets the job done".

"Oh, bye". "Bye". Kagome went and go in her car and drove home. She got in her comfy clothes and lay across the bed. She thought about what she done today and thought to herself that she was so proud of herself. And tomorrow will be the start of a new start for her. Not, just another day.
