Saint Patrick's Day

Sesshomaru was not having the best of days. First, his daughter decided that she was going to be his alarm clock and jumped on his chest while he was still sleeping. Having lost his breath, he woke up and rolled over, only to have his head collide with the corner of his bedside table.

His daughter had giggled and told him that he was silly before leaving the room completely. She was a mini devil in disguise, that was the only explanation. When he had gotten to the kitchen to get something to eat, his brother decided that he was going to be childish and throw his food at his hair.

Now he had to take another shower. And it only got worse as the day went on. On his way to work, he not only totaled his car but when he called the tow truck, the driver hadn't been able to break fast enough and plowed into his car, making it look like a monster truck used his car to be its victim. How does that even happen?

He had to walk to work after that incident, muttering under his breath that this was a really, really bad day. Sesshomaru got to work and the front desk told him that the elevators were broken. A poor wall suffered the fate of his hand punching into it. Ignoring the blood dripping from his hand, he walked up all forty flights of stairs.

The last straw was when his secretary said that she was quitting, merely leaving a note on her desk and not showing up for work. Well fine, that's just great. He walked into his office, trying not to think of everything that went on during the morning. Was it so much to ask for the rest of the day to be good?

Yes, yes it was.

He received calls from people, saying that they were backing out of their deal. At this point Sesshomaru was ready to throw himself out the window.

Finally he called his father and explained everything. To say the least, his father was not pleased but he told him that he would be over there as soon as he finished something up.

When Touga arrived, he was out of breath. Having to go up all those stairs would do that to anyone. However, his father wasn't alone. He was with the woman that he met on Valentine's Day. At least this was a nice surprise and not something that seemed to be out to get him.

Kagome was having one of the best mornings she's had in a long time. Shippo, though she had no clue how he made breakfast, gave it to her in bed. It was adorable. Burnt toast and all.

She had gotten a call from the grandfather of Rin, asking if she would like to talk about a possible job. He had said that there might be a position in his building. That was a silent prayer answered. She told him that she would meet him as soon as possible.

Then she got another call saying that her car was ready to be picked up. All good things continued to happen to her as she was getting her son to her friend's house so she could babysit him while she went to see Touga.

As she was walking to the meeting point, she stopped in awe. There was a twenty dollar bill innocently laying on the ground. Picking it up and looking around in case someone dropped it, however no one was around her. She smiled at her luck.

She spotted Touga sitting in a small coffee shop, drinking his drink as she made her way over to him. "Morning," she greeted as he looked up from the newspaper before breaking out into a smile.

"Good morning Kagome. How are you doing?" He placed his paper down and sipped his drink.

"I'm doing really well this morning actually." And she was, she couldn't believe her luck today. It was insane but definitely welcomed; it was a nice change. "So what's this about a possible job offer?"

"Ah, right. Well, I know for a fact that my son's secretary just quit, although I'm not all that sure as to why. She just upped and left," he explained as Kagome nodded that she was listening. "If you're interested though, I could introduce you to my son and see if he'd welcome a new secretary?"

Kagome stared at him and mentally gaped at his offer. That was a really good job; being a secretary wasn't something to take likely. "Are you sure about that? What if I'm not qualified?"

Touga laughed. "Nonsense! I can tell you're trustworthy and loyal. Those two things are something my son needs as oppose to the secretaries that he's had in the past." He paused as she flushed a soft red hue. His smile brightened as he asked, "Did you bring a résumé?" She nodded to him. His phone rang in that moment. "One second."

As he talked to whoever was on the phone, Kagome noticed that he got paler as he continued his conversation. She wondered if he was all right. It certainly didn't look like he was as he furrowed his brows before looking over to her. Now she wondered why he aimed that expression towards her. He ended his talk and stared at her. "Something the matter?"

"Actually that was my son. He's not having the best of days and since I have you here already, would you like the job interview now?"

Sesshomaru looked between the woman and his father in wonder. He didn't understand what was going on. "Mind giving some insight as to what's happening?" he dared to ask as his father broke out into a wild grin.

"Sesshomaru, this is Kagome. She's the one I was telling you about when Rin said that she reconnected with Shippo. Well, this is Shippo's mother," he introduced as Sesshomaru glanced to her in shock. She waved at him nervously.

Both of them seemed to come to the conclusion at the same time. The first time they met, they never said their names. She broke the silence that followed after his father's introduction by smiling softly. "It's good to see you again."

Touga had a turn of being shocked. They knew each other? How? Sesshomaru nodded to her in welcome. "Likewise. So, what are you doing here?"

"Well, your father said that he might have a possible job offer for me and since I need a job, I was eager to see what he had in mind," she confessed as she fiddled with the end of her shirt.

"I see," he said. "And what position was he thinking for you?"

"Your secretary?"

He took a moment before his eyes slowly landed on his father. "And how did you know I lost my secretary? I literally just told you that tidbit moments ago," he wondered as Touga merely grinned knowingly.

"What, you don't want the help son?"

Kagome interrupted them, "It's totally fine if you don't need me. I knew this was a long shot anyways." She went to move to leave but Touga placed a hand on her shoulder. She glanced up to him.

"Please stay, we can talk over your résumé," Sesshomaru insisted as she turned her attention onto him. Kagome gave a smile that radiated throughout the office and it seemed to be contagious too.

Touga smirked. His daily good deed was done as he ever so quietly and slowly left his son's office. "I knew Saint Patrick's Day would be a good day for me," he said to himself as he whistled his way out the door.
