For the Love of Fashion

3...2...1

"We are going to be so late!" Kagome scrambled for her suitcase that was sprawled open on the sofa.

"We'll have to deal with the devil himself if we are late!" Sango yelled from her closet. She was throwing tops, skirts, and dresses ever which way.

"I'm just mad at InuYasha and Miroku for leaving us and not bothering to wake us up!" Kagome found what she was looking for and started to change into her work clothes. She was very infuriated with InuYasha but something else nawed at her.

"I'm ticklish! Stop it InuYasha!" Kagome kept hitting InuYasha on the back until he finally shut her up with a peck on the cheek.

"There, happy?" He playfully smiled. He fell back on the floor when Kagome tackled him.

"Why do you keep doing that! You are technically cheating on Kikyo when you do that." She crossed her arms and turned away from him. Her face was red and hot, she could feel it.

"Stop being so uptight." He sourly responded. Kagome turned around and saw that he was facing the other way. Was it something she said?

"It is. You can't just kiss other girls when you feel like it. You'll end up like Miroku."

"Don't compare me to that womaniser. You sometimes act like Kikyo when you do that." Kagome's eyes widened. That name drove her crazy.

"Hello! Kagome!" Sango waved her hand in front of Kagome's face,"It takes about an hour to get there and we have less than that! I'm already going to have to speed."

"Oh. Well, let's go!" Kagome strapped on her heels and fled out the door with Sango, eyeing the small box on the table.

"By the way!" Kagome felt like she was in a marathon; Sango was running so fast, the fastest she's ever seen a woman run in heels.

"What?" Sango was already out the front door and unlocking her car.

"What's in that small box?" Kagome placed her hand on the passenger door, trying to catch her breath.

"Miroku proposed to me but I haven't given him an answer. I intended to tell you but things went a little out of control. The sleepover wasn't as described in the book." She closed the door and started the car.

"Since when has anything ever been done by the book?" Kagome flashed her smile and buckled up.

"Amen to that!" Sango revved the engine a few times and sped off through the front gates, waving goodbye to the elder man in uniform.

"In three...two...one!" Both girls clocked in right about the time the timer went off for any late employees.

"Just in time!" Kagome wanted to fall to the ground and kiss it. Sango's driving was worse than being on a rollercoaster.

"Oh my G- Miroku!" Sango threw her purse down when she spotted Miroku whistle by on the balcony," I'm going to kill you!" She cracked her knuckles and ran after him

"Wait Sango! I'm pretty sure it was InuYasha's idea!" Kagome tried to yell back," he's dead..both are dead." She pulled out her compact mirror from her purse to view the damages. She shouldn't have. Her hair was a bird's nest and some makeup had smeared (mostly due to Sango's dangerous driving and the fact her car-top was down).

"You are a hot mess." A voice chuckled. Kagome moved the mirror a little and saw InuYasha's reflection.

"Just shut up. You're already in trouble when Sango gets finished with Miroku." Kagome closed her mirror and stuffed it back in her purse.

"I'm guessing you didn't enough beauty sleep. We thought you girls would like to sleep in a little but I'm so sorry for trying to be a little considerate." InuYasha moved around her and tried to walk away but she grabbed his shirt.

"I can fix this," Kagome pointed to her gosh awful face,"but thanks for trying."

"Your welcome." He softly answered back and tried to lean in for a kiss but Kagome put her hand up.

"No." She grabbed her and Sango's purse and walked upstairs to Sesshomaru's office.

"Yes." He smirked. He walked to the elevator and pressed the button that had '18' on it. They're office resided on the 17th floor and the wolf? He was just a floor above them.

"Hello Mr. Taisho!" Kagome put on her please-the-boss smile and waited for him to say something.

"I called for you several times an hour ago but Rin said you hadn't clocked in. Didn't I tell you I needed you here early yesterday?" Sesshomaru sat ins his comfy chair and put his 'professional' glasses on. Kagome knew something was up when he did that. And usually, it wasn't good.

"No sir. You told me drop off that package." Kagome sat down in one of the open seats when he motioned her.

"But you never clocked out. So I assumed you were here all night." His eyes were piercing through her soul, she could feel it.

"I-I got lost on the way to the post office and-"

"You got lost when it was just across the road?" He pointed behind him out the window. Kagome furrowed her brows and looked at the place he was pointing at; there it was, right across the street with a huge sign that read "UPS". Kagome wanted to sink to the floor in embarrassment.

"But Miroku said it was just around the corner." Kagome wanted to at least redeem herself by blaming Miroku. Hey, he deserves it.

"It is. I don't know if you ever noticed, but our building is on the street corner."

Kagome wanted to sink even lower than the floor. She needed an emergency to come up on her pager or something. Oh wait. Sesshomaru is the only one who knows her pager number.

"I must have walked the other way instead of 'just around the corner'. I'm sorry." Kagome bowed her head and snapped her finger. Stop doing that!

"I'll let you redeem yourself," Oh shit! He can read my mind!," If you help me with something."

"Anything! I will help you. Do. Anything. Even babysit Miroku. By the way, what does he even do here?"

"Honestly, I don't even know why I keep him. Maybe for humour."

Humour? Really? It might rain brimstone if you crack a smile.

"But no, I don't need you to babysit that monster of a mess. We're getting the ideas together in the design department for the Summer Line, which I've decided to name "Summer Love" and tagline it with 'Love is the flower you've got to let grow'-JL."

"That's a nice name." Kagome thought about it and smiled. Love. Of all things.

"Anyway, I'm having Rin take your job, just for this line, and I want you to spy."

"Spy? Spy on who?" Kagome did not like the way this was going.

"I'm not stealing ideas, trust me. I already had to tighten security. I just want to make sure that he doesn't steal our designs. If anything remotely looks similar to what we're planning for, I want you to report it to me so I can take care of it. He'll definitely rethink about expanding here if our sales are bigger than his." Sesshomaru stood up and placed his glasses on the desk.

"Bu-but.." Kagome was at a loss for words. She lost that jerk once and she didn't want to get involved with him anymore.

"You do want to continue working here, right? I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just want you to prove your abilities to me. Maybe get a promotion and take vice president's seat? There is a reason I hired you." He walked around from behind the desk and stood right beside her, facing the door.

"Yes sir. I'll start on it immediately." Kagome nodded.

"Good. I have to run and take care of a few things. I want some sort of report before you leave tonight." He walked out of the office and left Kagome in the huge, empty room.

"What have I gotten myself into?"

Sango was walking back from chasing Miroku when she spotted Kikyo coming out of the elevator.

What the hell is she doing here? Sango watched the woman walk into the lobby and check in with Ayame, the front desk attendant.

"Hey Kagome!" Sango loudly whispered. She motioned for her to come over and crouched down when she did.

"What is it?" Kagome asked. Sango pointed and Kagome followed her gaze.

"Crazy's here," She whispered back," it must be bad. Ayame just paged InuYasha so he should be here in 3...2..."

At that time, InuYasha came storming out of his department and quickly ran down the stairs to where Kikyo was standing.

"What are they saying? I can't hear them." Kagome guessed they were trying to keep their arguing to a certain level.

Sango shook her head," I can't tell but they are both getting at each other."

Kagome watched how angry InuYasha looked and how Kikyo looked angry too.

"Why in the hell would you do that!" She heard InuYasha yell at Kikyo.

"Because I care about you! You would do the same if you thought I was cheating on someone, wouldn't you?" Kikyo grabbed him but he tried to shrug her off.

"What I do is my business. You don't need to send your little friend to spy on me! So what if I were cheating on you, what would you do?" Kikyo slapped him across the face and walked away into the elevator, leaving InuYasha stunned.

"InuYasha.." Kagome bit her lip and watched him

"Crazy just got crazy! What is her deal?" Sango stood up and helped Kagome up," Girl, go to him." She pushed Kagome forwards and smiled.

Kagome walked a few steps down the stairs and finished off the rest when InuYasha turned and saw her. She ran towards him and lightly placed a hand on his shoulder.

"A-Are you okay?" She softly asked.

"That bitch!" He yelled loud enough for everyone in the lobby to hear.

"I-InuYasha.." She was getting a little scared of his tone of voice.

"Kagome, get away from me." He warned.

"But you're bleed-"

"Get away!" He didn't need to yell it a third time for her to understand. She ran towards her tiny office on the other side of the lobby and locked herself in.

InuYasha clenched his fists and proceeded to walk up the staircase. He saw Sango leaning against the railing, shaking her head, and walked past her to go back to his office.

"Poor Kagome." Sango sighed and walked down the stairs to the tiny office that stood out from the rest.

Aw! Kagome, we're here for you!

Hello my lovelies! (Thought I'd try something different.)

I wonder where the story shall head from here..I'm excited! I already have the main points planned out, so you're in for lots of big surprises!

Not much has happened during the week for me, what about you guys? I love story sharing and personal stories! (did that sound creepy or was it just me?)

Anyway, Q&A Time!

Q. Have you tried writing fanfictions for other animes/mangas?
A. I have and they're in my notebook labeled "Things Not to Post on FF Because They're Either Terrible and/or..Nope, Just Terrible". I'm serious, though, because I have tried to write others but I can't. It seems InuYasha is the only anime/manga I'll be able to write FF for.

I have to hurry and be in class in an hour! Can't wait for the next update! ;D
