Chapter 20: Wait

!

KAG POV

Wait…" she said while stepping forward. He threw her a look telling her he was in no mood. It reminded her of the old Inuyasha who didn't want her anywhere near him. She felt extreme anger take over her and she bit down on her lip to contain it. "You know I didn't do it alone? I didn't rape you." She pointed out making him look up and eye her. "You could have said no." She said with a roll of her eyes while turning suddenly so she could leave. He stood up knowing something he said hurt her, but what could he do? He was too angry to comfort her so he let her leave before sitting back on his office chair

INU POV

(Next morning)

He sighed deeply as the phone switched to her voice mail for the seventh time that morning. He carelessly threw the phone in his passenger seat as he pulled up to the front of her apartment. It was around five in the morning and no one came or went. He promised himself he'd clock back in to work at four this morning but she stayed on his mind and he couldn't stop himself from driving over here. He sat for a second in front of her building before backing up towards an open parking lot.

He kept telling himself he didn't have time for this, but that didn't stop him from pulling the key from the ignition and undoing his seat belt. This time he decided he'd give his sister a call. She was still in the city "visiting." He grabbed the hi-tech phone from the empty seat beside him. He was about to make the call when he sensed someone coming out of the building.

Usually he wouldn't think anything of it, but this person's scent was exceedingly familiar. It caused him to hang up and glance towards the door. A woman with long black hair professionally curled and half way pinned at the side rushed out of the double doors. It was obvious she was trying desperately to get somewhere on time. She wore black stockings a leather short tube dress and a closed oversized gray blazer. She also had on a black stylish bulky belt tied to her waist and one heel off while she tried desperately to squeeze on the other. In her mouth was the handle of a leather professional mini brief case that doubled as a purse. Her cell phone was tucked between her neck and chest as she tried pushing in the remainder of her left black pumps.

It didn't take long at all to realize who the woman was. He quickly pushed his key back into the ignition in attempts to catch up to her. She was about to run out to the streets when something from the building caught her attention. She quickly ran back into the glass doors coming back seconds later with a portable coffee cup. She paused for a moment pushing the heel onto her foot and trying to straighten herself. She took the briefcase out of her mouth and straightened her dress letting Inuyasha take a full calculated look at her. She was of course tall and slender yet curvy. She had the perfect physique for a model. She wore one of her standard 'office' get ups. Her long black hair was now, at this point a pinned up disaster that fell in partial bonds down her back. She grabbed her cell phone carelessly throwing it into the miniature briefcase telling Inuyasha that she was in fact ignoring his calls.

She stepped out into the street while taking out the pins in her hair. She looked around wanting to catch a taxi. He took that as his signal to strike. He pulled out of the parking spot and drove quickly down towards the exit of the lot pulling the window down as he did. "Kagome…" He called out while she walked into the busy city streets. It was only five in the morning but people were still zooming past and talking as they did. "Kagome…" He called out as she weaved into the walking people.

He pulled into the street and slowed down as he followed her. She was no doubt trying to pick up a taxi, but she hadn't noticed him. A yellow cab letting out two men stopped and she 'B' lined towards them. Inuyasha quickly honked his horn making her look up and stare at him first in shock, then realization, then in utter annoyance. She rolled her eyes and steered towards the taxi anyway. "Can we please talk?" He called out while parking the car momentarily beside the taxi.

"No…" she said raising her voice so he could hear her over the sound of conversing people. "I'm late for work so leave me alone." She snapped.

"Work…" He whispered but he didn't ponder on it too long. "Okay let me take you?" He asked but she didn't seem too convinced. She crossed her arms causing her gray belted blazer to smudge up. It made him squirm uneasily. He really wanted to talk to her; he had to at least give her some sort of apology.

"Hey are you going to get in or what?" The taxi driver asked causing Kagome to eye him quickly. She uncrossed her arms and picked up her mock briefcase. She didn't give Inuyasha as much as a response before slipping into the backseat. The taxi began backing up and he could see her in the backseat crossing her arms in annoyance while looking out the opposite window.

He watched as the cab drove down the road. So not only did she not forgive him he would probably have to get a new replacement secretary to replace his old replacement secretary. He turned the car around to head the opposite direction toward his office.

As he drove he hesitantly reached out for his phone again calling her number automatically. Like usual no one picked up and her voicemail set in. She was acting so immature about this. The least she could do was let him plead his case. He decided he'd leave it alone for awhile as he pulled in the office building. Just like he predicted most everyone had clocked in and he was of course late and behind in work. He undid his seatbelt and locked the door heading towards the double doors of the building. No one was manning the front desk of course which wasn't surprising since Kagome without notice hadn't bothered to come in. He'd have to get someone else's secretary to double as his own. He walked straight ahead towards his office unlocking it and setting his things down. He turned the computer on and began working.

KAG POV

She rummaged through the black briefcase for a good five minutes looking for her wallet. "Don't worry…I know it's in here somewhere." She reassured the cab driver as she began taking random things out of it. She was officially extremely late for work and on top of it she couldn't find her wallet. She took out her cell phone, a makeup bag, a chocolate bar, and some other random things. "I know it's in here don't worry." She said as she rummaged through the bag even more. She finally set her hand in a small pouch that carried something hard and leather in it. She smiled while pulling it out and aiming it towards him.

The aggravated driver just stared at the wallet not knowing what she wanted him to do with it. "Oh… let me take the money out." She said with a nervous laugh while opening it. She found a few loose bills and a credit card. She took the card out and passed it towards him.

"I don't take credit cards. My machine is broken." He said while pointing towards the oval machine in front of her. Some of the wires were sticking out and half of the top was missing. She pushed the credit card back into her bag and rummaged in the wallet. She didn't think she had enough money to pay the man. Especially since she took that detour so she could bypass Inuyasha.

She had only two options. Either she ask the man to drop her at an ATM or go inside and ask him for money. She gulped at that idea and she decided that she'd just have to be even later. "I don't have enough. I'm a few dollars short can you take me to an ATM?"

The cab driver shook his head as if that was impossible. "One of my clients called me. I've got to pick her up." He said while sitting back against the seat. Kagome narrowed her eyes in utter annoyance.

"Okay…than how do you expect me to pay you?" She asked him in annoyance. He shrugged his shoulders as if that was her problem. She let a low growl escape her as she undid her seat belt and opened the car door.

"If you don't pay me… I'll call the cops?" He asked and she rolled her eyes as she slipped out of the yellow car.

"Wait here…" She instructed while walking up to the buildings double doors. If only she would have skipped the drive thru then she would have had enough money. She shook her head as she walked into the city's division of Takashi corporations. She trashed her breakfast bag and walked with purpose towards the front desk. On top of it was a parcel of mail, and stacks of envelopes. Of course they all belonged to Inuyasha. She quickly picked them up and headed towards the break room. Like always there were too many employees socializing in it then working, they all stared at her as she walked in. She knew their conversation topics would change automatically.

She looked around spotting the coffee and a fresh box of pastries. She made a B-line for it. Grabbing a Styrofoam cup and heading towards the coffee machine. This wasn't usually where Inuyasha got his breakfast from, but she didn't have time to go down to the bakery shop like his old secretary had advised her. She filled the cup with hot coffee and lidded it while pushing past several conversating people to get to the pastries.

She grabbed the first thing her hands reached for and a napkin and left the room. She looked around heading towards Inuyasha's office. She walked over to the solid imprinted "I" and knocked. "I'm a bit busy." She heard a man say, but she didn't hesitate to knock again. There was no answer and she took it upon herself to open the door.

She walked in looking straightforward. Inuyasha sat in all his handsomeness in his office chair. His hand was wrapped up in a pen and a few thick books were opened. His office was in its unusual pristine order. Telling her he cleaned and organized it since last night. She was still extremely upset about last night, so mad in fact, that she had to fake a smile as she closed the door behind her. This of course got Inuyasha's attention. No one closed the door behind them when walking in except Kagome.

He looked up spotting her automatically. She had on her too short tube skirt and blazer and in her hand was his mail and coffee. He was a bit surprised that she had come into work today, but he was more pleased then anything. "Kagome…" He said wanting to of course address the problem between them.

She didn't say anything she instead posted the fake smile on her face and walked forward. "Guess what I got?" she asked with fake cheer highlighting her voice. He looked down as she set the coffee and donut on his desk. He eyed them for a minute before resting his golden eyes on her. It of course made her heart begin beating triple times and her stomach did a little flip.

"I don't drink coffee from here… they always burn it, and that donut looks like shit." He said simply. She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from saying something rude. Instead she set the mail beside the food and watched him sort through it. "Hey… now that you're here. I wanted to talk to you about last night."

"Water under the bridge." She said making him look up. She had that smile on her face that made him furry his eye brows. "I'm just going to head out and get you your scone and coffee…"

"If everything's fine then why did you ignore all my calls and get into a taxi this morning?" He asked as he opened a box that was tucked in with the rest of his mail.

"Ignore your calls?" She asked as if she had no idea. "I had no idea you were calling me?" She lied and he stuck up an sinfully handsome eyebrow making her lose her composure once again.

"Okay…" He said while setting down the box filled with who knows what. He set both his eyes on her and she felt butterflies take over again. "Then why did you get into the taxi?"

"Because I needed to get to work."

"I could have driven you." He said as a rebuttal. It made her shift from foot to foot.

"Well I didn't see you." She lied which made her mentally hit herself. They had had a conversation before she pulled out in the taxi. He was about to call that simple fact to attention when she interrupted him. "Listen Inuyasha I need you to do me a teensy weensy favor." She said while sitting in one of the adjacent chairs awkwardly. He watched her movements and decided to sit back in his own chair. "Can I borrow some cash?" She asked and he let a subtle smile take over his face.

"For what?" He asked simply making her tense in her seat. Why couldn't things be simple? He was loaded with money; she already felt low enough asking him.

"Well you see I got myself mixed up with the mafia." She said letting sarcasm slip and Inuyasha's subtle smile turned into a full on condescending one. "You know... after what you did to me last night. You should be more than happy to lend me something."

"What I did to you? How about what you did to me?"

She stood up at that in compete shock. "Hmm… let's see... what did I do to you? I got a second job as your secretary so we could spend more time together. I show up in your office naked…. I uh rocked your world…."

You rocked your own world Kagome… having sex in my office is the least of my fetishes."

"Oh yeah… well l hope having sex is one of the least of yours too, because I'm never ever doing it with you again." She snapped and the room got awkwardly silent. He cleared his voice after awhile and she crossed her arms without saying anything. "Listen I'll pay you back."

He didn't move much he just thought it over for a few seconds. "Well okay…" He took a brief moment to rummage through his pocket. Kagome watched as he took out a leather wallet and opened it. "So… what am I paying for?" He asked as he took out one bill and laid it on the desk. Kagome leaned forward to take a peek, but he quickly put a palm over it.

"Hey…" she said making him look up.

He didn't say anything he just stared at her waiting for an explanation. She sighed loudly before taking a seat in the chair beside her. "Listen Kagome… how am I supposed to know how much money to give you if I don't…"

"It's cab fare okay." She snapped cutting him off automatically. "There's a cab running in front of the building." He took a moment to eye her, taking in her slightly flushed face and her crossed arms. Her legs were crossed elegantly and gently despite her apparent anger. Her long wavy hair was sprawled about framing her face. She had this irritating way of bouncing her heeled shoe up and down in apparent aggravation.

"Okay…" he said after some time. She looked up slightly wanting him to speak. He took the bill from the table and pushed it in front of her. "I'll pay your cab fare, but you have to do something for me." She growled deep in her throat and it just help to spread a cocky grin wider.

She rose up from her seat and stared at him impatiently. "Well that depends what is it?" She asked and she stumbled from foot to foot to catch her composure. She always felt herself lose balance under his glance. It made her stomach tighten and her blood heat up. She could feel herself go light headed and she actually stumbled back clumsily for a split second. She decided to sit back down before he noticed her blunder, but he already had.

"You know what I told you the night of the runway?" He asked and she stared off at the glass wall that showed the city so clearly. "You know the date thing?" He asked and she shrugged recalling it clearly. "Well we'll start tonight." He said as he lifted up the bill to pass to her. She stared at it for a second not knowing what to say.

She took the money anyway as she returned his intense glance. "Just because you take me out doesn't mean I automatically forgive you." She said making him smile charmingly up at her.

"You have no reason to be mad at me. If you had just let me explain myself to begin with…"

"Aren't you too busy to go out tonight?" She asked while purposely cutting him off. She couldn't help the excitement that roared in the pit of her stomach, but she kept a very passive look on her. He shrugged as she picked up her purse from its spot on the office chair.

"It's all about priorities." He said and he knew that would get her attention. It made almost all of her anger fade to think that he was picking her over his work for the first time. She didn't want to let her lack of anger show as she backed up carefully.

"Well I'm sure something will pop up and you'll have to cancel." She said and that had him smiling again, which had her tripping. He hid the humor in his eyes when he saw her stumble on her own feet. "It's the carpet…" She mumbled as she turned to head out. "It's slippery…"

She let out held in air as a swift smile lighten her features. When she entered the foyer of the office she was surprised to see several people waiting at the front desk. It seemed like a crowd of people were waiting for someone to attend to them. She passed them all with much curiosity as she headed outside. The taxi was parked now as he waited with obvious annoyance on his face.

"It's about time…" He snapped making her roll her eyes. She passed him the money and he snatched it from her. "You're lucky I don't make you pay extra all this time I've been waiting."

"Well that's a twenty so you did make me pay extra." She told him as she waited for some sort of change. He of course didn't give any, instead he turned the key in the ignition and attempted to pull out. She allowed it while walking back towards the building. She again eyed the men and women in business casual as she made her way to the front desk. As soon as she sat at her desk all of the conversation died down.

"Hello… can I help you?" She asked the man in front as she took a seat. He seemed middle age and very sophisticated. He smiled lightly before approaching the front desk.

"Yes I'm here for the job interview… I wanted to make an appointment but no one was answering the phone." Kagome looked up at that realizing that was in fact her job, but she was late. "Is it too late?" He asked and she gulped while looking down the line at the series of people.

"Is this what you all are here for?" She asked while glimpsing up at him again. He nodded then shrugged. One of the phones rang again and she put a finger up. "Well hold on…" She scooted to the right with the rolling chair. "Hello?"

"Hello is this Takashi Corporation?" A woman asked and Kagome nodded before remembering she was in fact on a phone.

"Um… I mean yes it is, can I help you?"

"I'm here to confirm my interview for today at eight." The woman said and Kagome slapped her forehead.

"Oh um okay…. When did you make the appointment?" She asked while she rushed to the other side of the rounded desk for a pencil and sticky note. She was an extremely bad secretary.

"I made the appointment a little over a month ago… I should be on file." Kagome thought that over as she slid the chair towards the computer and let the corded phone lie at the base of her neck and chin.

"Okay well I'm sure you are…" She mumbled as she opened up some calendar documents on the computer. Sure enough a series of appointments for conducting some sort of interview for Inuyasha popped up. The interviews were supposed to begin around six. It was now rounding to seven. She didn't bother to ask the woman on the other line what her name was. "Yup here you are… just come in around eight." She said while minimizing the document. "See you here shortly." She said as the woman tried to say something. She hung up the phone and looked forward towards the waiting man. "Do you have an appointment?" She asked in the most professional tone she could muster. The phone rang again and she stuck another finger up asking the man to wait once again. She turned towards the phone picking it up. "Hello."

It was another person calling about an appointment. She said the same thing to this caller before hanging up and turning back towards the man. He looked a bit impatient now but she didn't seem fazed. "So where were we?" She asked and he nodded before shifting.

"I don't have an appointment. I'm hoping to make one…" The phone rang once more and she backed up a bit aggravated now.

"Hello…" She snapped this time making the person on the other line pause for a very long moment. "Hello…" She asked again.

"I hope you don't answer all my calls like that?" A very familiar voice asked and Kagome felt her heart speed up and she automatically sat up in her spot. "Listen I was supposed to have two interviews this morning before you showed up. One of the other secretaries' said the interviewees were waiting in the lobby. There should be four waiting can you send in my six o clock?" He asked and that forced her to skim the filled room. "Make it quick because I'm a bit behind schedule. Once you send him or her in can you run down and get my coffee from the coffee shop...Oh and a scone from that bakery down the street, because I can't do anything with…?"

"Right right… okay so send in your six o clock?" She asked while standing up. The phone shifted with her as she looked around. A few people sat on the foyer couches talking while other's impatiently checked their watches. "There's a lot more than just four…" She trailed off and she heard Inuyasha tense up a bit.

"What do you mean there's more than just four?" He asked causing her to gulp. Of course their being more than four was her fault. She was supposed to be answering calls and making appointments. If she had been here two hours earlier than the callers wouldn't have taken it upon themselves to come down and schedule their own appointments.

"Uh I mean…everything is under control." She lied while sitting back down. I'll get that coffee and scone in no time, anything else…?" She asked.

"Well now that you mention it, and you're a bit more leveled headed…." He said while leaning back in his seat. "Maybe after my morning interviews we can…" The man at the front began hitting the desk wanting to get her attention.

"Oh yeah of course…" Kagome said rushing Inuyasha's perverted speech. "It'll be fun, but um right now… I got to get that coffee and scone."

He recognized the slight panic in her voice and he sat up. "Are you sure everything's fine."

"Of course." She snapped. "Don't worry… I'm a born secretary." She lied. "Okay so six o clock interview, scone, coffee, got it… I'll see you shortly bye." She hung up and stood up eyeing the crowd of people.

"Excuse me ma'am." The man in the front asked making her divert her attention upwards. "My interview…"

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked making the man narrow his eyes.

"I said. I am trying to make one for the hundredth time."

"Well you should call in to schedule interviews…" She said making him huff.

"I tried but no one was picking up my calls?"

"Well when did you call?" Kagome asked.

"I tried last night and this morning." She gulped realizing that both times she was either screwing Inuyasha or extremely late.

"Did you leave a message?"

"I tried but the inbox was full…" She sighed as she sat back down. "I was hoping to just schedule my interview now. She turned back towards the computer opening up the calendar. She had no idea how to schedule interviews in this thing. She bit down on her lip before opting to go the old fashion way. She grabbed her previous pen and sticky note.

"Well what's your name?" She asked and he rolled his eyes before leaning in. She had the pen waiting when she saw one of the sitting interviewees head towards the glass door making her pop up. "Excuse me…"

"I've excused you enough… can I please schedule my interview."

"Fine…" she snapped while throwing him the note pad and pen. "Do it yourself." She left the desk to head to the door. The woman who had left was already heading for her car and it was too late. What if she was Inuyasha's six 'o' clock. He would kill her. She stumbled back realizing that some people were probably waiting hours now. "Excuse me." She said lifting her voice. Some people looked up at her others continued talking. "If you have a scheduled interview can you come to the front desk? If you're trying to schedule one can you please sit?" Instead of heeding her instructions the group just began talking louder. She ran a hand through her hair before walking towards the foyer's waiting room. She approached a woman working on a lap top. "Hello…" She said making her look up.

"Yes?" The woman asked.

"Do you have a scheduled appointment?" She asked her and the woman nodded making Kagome smile slightly. "For what time?"

"7:30…" She thought that over for a second before biting down on her lip. It wasn't a six 'o' clock appointment, but it was good enough.

"Uh well you can go right in…" she said and the older woman closed her lap top with a smile before rising from her spot. Kagome watched her head for the back towards the executive offices. Okay one down now she had to worry about the whole group of people who wouldn't listen to her. The man at the front was still writing things down on the note pad when she approached the front desk. "Just put your name… I don't need your life story…" Kagome said sarcastically as she snatched the note pad from him. He rolled his eyes as he turned to head out of the building. She sat down comparing him with the computer calendar and scheduling him for the next open spot. The next person in line was a woman.

She was actually decently young and fairly attractive. Her hair was a dark mahogany and placed in a very strict bun. Kagome smiled up at her but she didn't seem to be in the mood for courtesy. "I'm here to schedule an appointment." She said making Kagome flip the note pad for an empty sheet of paper. She was about to copy down the woman's information when the phone rang yet again.

She passed the pad to the woman. "Could you?" Kagome asked while pushing the chair to the phone. The woman eyed the pad as if she never in her life had to write. "Hello" she asked pleasantly.

"That's a much better tone…" Inuyasha said. "I asked you to send me in my six 'o' clock. This woman had an interview for seven thirty." Kagome straightened up slightly.

"Uh did she…. She lied…. You know so she could go in earlier."

"Sure she did…are you sure everything is under control back there?"

"Peachy…"

"Okay… so if I came out, everything would be orderly?" He said in complete suspicion. Kagome gulped suddenly before clearing her throat and nodding. No response came from the other line making her roll her eyes. He obviously couldn't see her nod.

"Uh… yes it would be completely fine." She said while looking up at the mass of people. They all stared at her with annoyed scowls."Actually I think your six 'o' clock never showed up. There's barely anyone here." Inuyasha paused after hearing that.

"Is that right…?" He said in a soft whisper as if he didn't quite believe that.

"Yeah… it's weird too, because I had so much scheduled for today." She lied as she watched the attractive woman walk slam the pad onto the desk to signify she was done. Kagome eyed her carefully and she rolled her eyes before leaving all together.

"Well if you're not busy… I'd like my coffee then." He said and Kagome nodded subconsciously before sitting up in her seat.

"One coffee and scone coming up…" She said in an overly cheery voice. He didn't say bye before hanging up all together. She stared at the cluttered desk than moved back to the front. A new person was at the front now, but to her surprise he was writing his own information on the note pad himself. She took that as an opportunity to make a call. She scooted towards the phone again and dialed Sango's number. The phone rang a total of three times before she finally picked up. "SANGO I NEED YOUR HELP!"

"What is it…? I'm trying to sleep." She said in a groggy voice making Kagome shift her glance to the standard clock to her right.

"It's almost seven you don't have work?" She asked. Sango paused for a second before growling on the other line. "Listen I really need your help. Inuyasha has these series of interviews, and because I didn't pick up the phone last night, and I was late today all these people came in to schedule an interview, but I have to deal with the real interviewees first please help…"

"Fine… fine…" She said on the other line while sitting up. "What do you want me to do…?" She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand before swinging her legs off the bed.

"Well first I want you to swing over to that bakery shop and get a scone, and then get a large coffee…"

"I'm not picking you up breakfast…"

"It's not for me…" Kagome interrupted while running a hand through her wavy hair. "It's for Inuyasha… can you just do it please…?" Sango did another grunt before agreeing and hanging up. It didn't take long till she came pushing through the crowd with a Styrofoam cup in hand. Kagome watched her as she pushed through the mass of people towards the front desk. She seemed a bit shocked but also disoriented. Her dark brown hair was in a sloppy bun and she wore a sweat shirt and sweat pants. People gave her annoyed looks as she pushed them aside.

"Did you bring the scone?" Kagome asked while standing up from her spot. Sango reflexively put up a white bakery bag as she walked up to the desk.

"It is so full in here… what happened?" She asked while setting the food down. Kagome quickly took the bag and took out the set of napkins and the scone itself.

"Oh well I guess a majority were waiting in their car till I got here… I don't know, but I walked in, and no one was in here. I walk out of Inuyasha's office and every ones lined up." Sango listened intently before making her way into the circular domain of the desk. "I'm trying to get the interviews in order… Inuyasha's next one is for seven, but I don't know whose next because I don't know how to work the calendar on the computer. And to make it worse I don't know what to do with this thing…" She lifted up the notepad so Sango could see… "I'm officially over my head…"

"Kagome… What did I tell you?" Sango said while taking the main seat in the front of the desk. She turned on the computer and began searching documents. "I told you not to take this job… you have no idea what you're doing…"

"I know, but things were going great before today…"

"This is only your second day." She rolled her eyes at that while grabbing the scone and coffee. "Kagome you owe me so much for this…"

"Of course… can you get his seven 'o' clock interview ready by the time I get out." Sango put a hand out signifying a nagging yes. She nodded at that before heading to Inuyasha's office. Sango began furiously typing at the keyboard while she walked towards the two double doors. She like always didn't bother knocking she just let herself in. Inuyasha sat at his desk staring at his computer screen.

"Guess what I got for you?" Kagome asked as she walked forward. Inuyasha looked up hesitantly looking her over instead of the food in her hands. It made her immediately subconscious but she said nothing about it. He sat up in his spot obviously liking what he saw.

"It's about time." He said as she set the food on his desk.

"Yeah sorry there was a humongous line at the bakery, but it should still be warm." She lied before backing up to take a seat on one of the seats across from his desk.

"I didn't mean the food. I meant your attitude. Do you forgive me yet?" He asked and she stared at him a bit shock. She pursued her lips in complete thought before squirming uncomfortably in her seat. "It would be really awkward to take you out tonight if you're upset with me…"

She stared at him for a bit before deciding that she actually didn't know how she felt about him at this moment. She wasn't sure if she was still angry. She did at that moment feel a surge of panic and it didn't take long for her to decide that being on good terms with Inuyasha made a lot of sense especially since she was single handedly ruining his business. She let a smile take over her lips as she stared past him to the glass window ahead. "Uh the whole anger thing was yesterday… I'm fine now." His handsome face immediately turned unnaturally gorgeous as he smiled slightly at that.

"That's good to hear… let me just finish my interviews. Do you have my seven 'o' clock ready?" He asked and she had to actually tear her eyes from his unusually attractive features to think about that for a moment.

"Of course I do… so what are all these interviews for anyway?" She asked. She didn't really care why he was hosting the interviews she was only buying time so Sango could get everything in order. He sat up at that and he didn't seem as pleased as before.

"Well like I had said before. I have to move back… I'm trying to search for a replacement." He said and Kagome sat up at that and her eyes widened automatically. "You look surprised. I feel like I've told you this before."

"Yeah… but I didn't think so soon." He shrugged as if he didn't know what to say to that. She got up at that with a cheap smile on her face. "Okay well let me get those interviews in here." She said while backing up. He watched her a bit suspiciously as she left his office all together. She made sure to close the door before taking off into a sprint to the front desk. Sango had cleared half of the room and was organizing the remaining people.

"Change of plans." Kagome announced as she walked to the desk. Sango gave her a side look while typing information into the computers database. "I want everyone in here gone." That halted her slightly but she began to type again after a brief moment. "Sango did you hear me."

"Yeah I heard you, but I'm guessing your just joking." Kagome rolled her eyes at that before getting up on her chair so she could be a bit taller. She decided that this wasn't enough height so she actually stood up on the desk itself causing Sango to look up in shock. "Um excuse me everyone…." She announced making a majority of people look up. "I regret to inform you, but the job position has already been taken… so if everyone could exit the building at this time…" before she could finish the crowds mutters and groans drowned her out as they began to leave.

"What… seriously" Sango asked as everyone began piling out.

Kagome watched as the crowd cleared before turning towards her best friend. "No… of course not, but I found out why Inuyasha's holding the interviews…"

"Why…"

"Well you remember how he was like... staying here is temporary. Well he wants those people to replace him… it's an interview for his replacement.

"So…"

"So…" Kagome repeated a bit frustrated she had to spell it out for her. "So our relationship just officially started. I don't want him to move back to our home town…"

"Kagome this isn't going to work… he's going to realize at some point that no one is being interviewed…"

"Well that's where you come in handy." Kagome said making Sango sigh in complete aggravation.

A/N Sorry for the long wait. I've been unusually busy lately. It's crazy. I'll never do that again.

P.S.

this would have uploade a lot sooner, but something is wrong with Fanfiction.
