My Darkest Hour

Chapter 11

Kagome and InuYasha walked outside of his office and over to where Hana's desk was. Kagome felt kind of guilty watching her pack, but she consoled herself with the fact that she was only replacing Hana because she quit. She wanted to leave. Kagome snapped out of it, though, when she noticed InuYasha walking over to Hana.

"I'm going to miss you, Hana. It's been great having you as my secretary. I mean, you're my friend too," InuYasha said.

Hana smiled and went over to him for a hug. "I'll miss you, too, InuYasha. Tell Kikyo to stop being such a bitch, okay? And tell her not to give Kagome a hard time either, unless she wants me to come back here and fix her ass again."

Kagome watched the friendly scene, now confused. 'Who's Kikyo…?'

InuYasha laughed. "Will do, Hana… will do."

Hana gave him a look. "Will you really?" she said dully.

"I will!"

"Alright… you'd better." Hana turned to look at Kagome. "Come over here, you pour girl. You've got a lot to learn about what to do and what to look out for."

She continued when Kagome joined her and InuYasha by the desk.

"First on the 'what to look out for' list is Kikyo, InuYasha's girlfriend."

'Girlfriend…?' Kagome mentally pouted for a moment, then perked up again to pay attention. Hana was wonderful enough to give her some tips before she totally took over her job; she'd better not waste the opportunity for help.

"That woman is the bitch from hell. I mean, I get being defensive about sexy secretaries in your boyfriend's office, but damn! The woman's insane. She nearly broke my leg when she pushed me down the stairs, because she felt I was too close to InuYasha when he brushed past me in the doorway to leave!"

Kagome's eyebrows shot up and the size of her eyes tripled.

"Yeah!" Hana cried. "The bitch is fucking crazy!"

"Hey, that's my girlfriend we're talking about here!" InuYasha yelled from his spot behind the two women.

"Of course she is, InuYasha. However, you yourself know that she's not right in the head. I don't know why the hell you stay with that woman," Hana said as she shook her head.

InuYasha only turned his face to the ground, shoving his hands into his pocket.

Hana felt bad for upset her friend and former boss, but she had to explain things to Kagome before she left—and she had to leave soon.

"Alright… Yeah, so watch out for Kikyo. That's the main thing. Other than that, you have business things to take care of—obviously."

Hana waved Kagome over for the two of them to check out a few basic things, and to check out how to deal with the company's current projects.

"Alright so here on the phone: these are the office communication buttons. Five is for the lobby, six is for Mr. Takahashi's office, seven is for the temps' department, eight is for security, and nine is for building service. But to use these numbers for these specific things only, you have to first press the pound number. Otherwise the phone will act as if you were trying to contact someone with an actual phone number."

Kagome nodded. "Oh alright; thank you."

"Of course! Now there's a sheet in this first drawer on the right with all the basic things you need to know, in case you forget anything. So besides all that, let me show you what you'll be doing regarding the work that we're doing now."

Hana sat down and got on the computer.

"Oh, by the way, this is the password," she said as she logged out and then typed it again for Kagome to see.

"Got it," Kagome said.

"Again, in the first drawer on the right."

"Um… but what if there's a break-in? Can't someone then easily access information?" Kagome asked.

"Good question," InuYasha spoke. "You see that light blinking on the drawer's handle?" He elaborated when Kagome nodded. "Well that turns red when the emergency systems kick in, and the whole building is shut down. So even if someone could get in the drawer, the computer systems would be knocked out anyway—but they can't get in so it's still safe."

"Wow," Kagome said. "This company really is well thought out in every aspect, huh?"

InuYasha and Hana both chuckled then nodded.

"Wow…"
