" Inume ! what are you doing here?" Kagome asked. " Half day at school today , mom. I don't have the house keys. So I thought I'll come here to get the keys from you. " Inume answered.
" Oh! My keys are in my purse. I have work, dear. So take the keys and Reach home safely." Kagome said. " No, mom. I am not going home. We are going to the nearby cafe to have lunch. " Inume said glancing at Inuyasha to see his reaction.
" But Inume I have work." Kagome tried to reason with her daughter. " Mom, You shouldn't skip lunch just because a sadist asks you to. " Inume said smirking. " Who you calling sadist, squirt" Inuyasha said angrily.
" I am not a squirt ." Inume shouted. " Ok . Then you are an annoying brat" Inuyasha shouted back at her.
" Mom, now I believe that your work is hectic. You have a sadist as your boss." Inume stated. "How many times should I repeat, brat, that I am not a sadist." Inuyasha shouted. "Then prove you are not a sadist. let my mom have her lunch break ." Inume smirked
Inuyasha thought for a few seconds on how to respond. " Fine, I am a sadist . You think I care what you think about me. Then you are wrong. Kagome get back to work. And you brat, do not enter my office without my permission again. Got it? " Inuyasha said. " What! " Inume shouted.
" Don't shout in my office. " Inuyasha said returning back to his desk. " Inume dear, please leave. I'll meet you at home." Kagome bid her daughter goodbye,.
" I am sorry , Inuyasha for her behavior." Kagome apologized. " No need for you to apologize. I expected your daughter to be just like you. And she is" Inuyasha said. "What ! Are you implying that I am rude? " Kagome asked.
" I am not implying that you are rude. I am stating that you are rude, wench." Inuyasha said. " Wench? How dare you call me a wench? " Kagome took one step closer towards Inuyasha. " I can call you whatever I want, wench. I am your boss. " Inuyasha moved one step closer.
" You are a jerk , Inuyasha. " Kagome said taking one step closer. " Who are you calling a jerk?" Inuyasha shouted . They didn't realize that they were so close that if they both shut up they could hear each other's heartbeat.
Then they heard someone open the door. " Oh! Inuyasha... " Izayoi entered the office and stared at the couple. " Mom. its not what you think." Inuyasha said moving away from Kagome. " Inuyasha you should have told me about your girlfriend" Izayoi said hugging Kagome without giving her a chance to explain.
" Mom, she is not my girlfriend. She is my secretary. we.. were just talking." Inuyasha said. " You should have told me about your girlfriend earlier. " Mom, Are you even listening to me? " Inuyasha asked." Bring your girlfriend home for dinner. Goodbye. I'll prepare a feast for you darling." Izayoi left the office hastily.
" WHAT? " Kagome said recovering from the shock . She turned to look at Inuyasha who was in deep thought. "Don't shout. You will act as my girlfriend for three days." Inuyasha said calmly.
" WHat are you blabbering? I am not going to act as your girlfriend." Kagome said. " Be my girlfriend for three days in front of my mom. Then break up with me. After that mom will never think bother me about getting married." Inuyasha said.
" I am not going to act. Why should I? It is your problem." Kagome said. " Because I am your boss. I am going home. Finish your work here and come to my house at six.,Good bye, Darling." Inuyasha gave a peck on her cheek.
" What did he just do? What should I do. It is just an act for three days. I need this job. How will I explain this to Inume.' Kagome thought.
Later at Kagome's house
Kagome was getting ready to go to Inuyasha's house. She wanted to m
" Mom, I can't believe you agreed to this. Seriously.." Inume shouted. " Inume , I have no other choices. Don't trouble Sango. If Sango complains, you are grounded. " Kagome warned. " But mom, whenever Aunt Sango is here, all she does is talk to her boyfriend on the phone. "
" Please Inume be a good girl for Aunt Sango. I need this job. Good bye dear. " Kagome hugged her and went out to catch a cab when she saw a limo parked outside the house.
" Miss. Kagome. Master Inuyasha has sent the limo for you. " Inuyasha's butler said. " Uh... Thank you. " Kagome hesitated and entered into the limo reluctantly.
At Inuyasha's house
Inuyasha house was more like a mansion. It had a huge garden and the house was well-lit that gave it an appearance of a palace.
"Welcome ma'am to the Taisho mansion. Master Inuyasha has been waiting in the main room for you. " The maid led her through a passaage and opened a door. "Master Inuyasha , your guest has arrived. " " Let her in. " Inuyasha said.
Kagome entered the room to find Inuyasha standing near a window lost in thought. She wanted to start to a conversation but didn't know what to say.
" Hello. Kagome . You reached here on time. " Inuyasha chuckled remembering that Kagome always came late for work. " Is this best dress you have? " Inuyasha asked.
' I am here to help him and he is being so rude. He is such a jerk.' " Yes. It is the best dress I've got and I am here to act as your girlfriend. I am not your girlfriend, Inuyasha." Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha sighed." I know you are not my girlfriend so don't shout. I wanted to tell you more about my family before you meet them. You already met my mom in the morning. Her name is Izayoi Taisho. She means the world to me. And my dad is InuTaisho" Inuyasha said. " InuTaisho , the billionaire.. " Kagome was awestruck to hear that Inuyasha was the son of a billionaire.
" Yah, the one and only . But don't worry about dad. He is always out on business trips . He can hardly find time for family in his busy schedule . Then I have a brother, Sesshomaru. He manages my father's business. I look after only a part of the business and that too because my dad forced me to. You won't be able to meet my brother tonight because he is out on a business trip. Then comes my sister-in-law, Rin. Sesshomaru and Rin love each other madly . They have been married for eight years and still can't have a kid. The doctors couldn't find out why they can't have a kid. So when you speak to Rin, do not talk about Inume." Inuyasha said.
" You told about Inume to your family." Kagome asked. "Yah . i told them . None of them mind. As I already told you , Sesshomaru doesn't have a kid. So mom is ecstatic that if we get married, she will have a grandchild whom she can pamper."
" What? grandchild? pamper? " Kagome was shocked to hear that Inuyasha's mother was happy to hear about Inume . " Yah something like that. She went on and on talking about you and Inume to Rin this whole afternoon. " Inuyasha chuckled.
" Inuyasha , don't you think we should not lie to your family. Your mom is taking this little too seriously. If we break up, She will be sad." Kagome said.
Inuyasha moved closer to Kagome, "I know she is serious . she was so happy this afternoon. The last time she was this happy was during Sesshomaru's wedding. And that was eight years ago. I want her to be happy at least for three days. Please Kagome."
'He never said please before. He must really love his mother that he is willing to give up his ego and ask.'
"Fine, Inuyasha . but only for three days." Kagome agreed. " Then are you ready to meet my family." Inuyasha asked. Kagome nodded to Inuyasha signalling him to lead the way.
