Awkward Moments Day

Kagome had gotten the job. She had been hired that same day too.

Today was her first day on the job so she wanted to make a good first impression. Sesshomaru had given her a mountain of a list of things to do while he was busy.

He simply said that if she couldn't get it done within an hour or so, then he would be looking for a better secretary. She rushed to get those things done.

Her first moment of awkwardness happened when she had to make three sets of forty pages and copy them all. This was going to be her first mistake when the damned copy machine got jammed!

And there was no one around to help her out! It didn't help that this was one of the more fancy machines...

It took her about thirty minutes to understand what she did wrong in order to get it started back up again. While that thing worked, she flew down the stairs, since the elevators were broken at the moment, to go and get his lordship some coffee in the only place that he accepted it from.

He had said that she could get something as well if she wanted but she knew that as she was rushing back to the building, that something was going to happen. Something big.

And that something happened when she went back into the room with the copy machine. She tripped, her coffee went flying and then she watched in horror as the metal box sparked, which then followed a loud bang.

Her second awkward moment happened later. She had to talk to Sesshomaru and retell as well as relive her tale. "So um... boss?" she started, not all that sure if he was actually busy or not. He told her to come in as he typed across the keyboard at a much faster pace than she could ever do.

"What is it?" he asked, his eyes on the screen. When she didn't say anything right away, he finally looked up to her. He was surprised that she looked a bit ruffled. "What happened?" he demanded.

Kagome fiddled with the hem of her shirt and explained, "I went to get you your coffee and was going to check up on the copy machine... and um, I tripped and killed the machine when my coffee flew into it." All of that was said with her eyes on the ground.

If she had been looking at him, she would've seen the mirth in his eyes as he tried not to laugh. "I see." She finally looked up. "Should I take that out of your salary?"

"Please don't..."

"Are you purposely making yourself awkward or it just first day job nerves?"

She openly gaped at him before mumbling, "Well it sure doesn't help that it's Awkward Moments Day... but purposely? Can't say I am..."

Sesshomaru briefly wondered if she was making that up. "Of course it is; all the more reason to be awkward then. If that's all, then try to clean up your mess and finish the rest of your tasks," he told her as she walked out of the office in a zombie-like mode, clearly amazed that she got off the hook for damaging property.

He just knew that his work life just got more interesting.
