Wear Pajamas to Work Day
Sesshomaru had been in his office for a while. He had heard his secretary get in but didn't think anything of it and stood up. He walked to the door and opened it, saying, "Higurashi, I need you to go to floor eight and ask for…" He glanced up from the papers in his hand to look at his secretary and stared.
Kagome laughed nervously and fiddled with her nightgown. She didn't see anything wrong with it but under Sesshomaru's stare however, made her feel like she didn't belong in it. "Who do you need me to ask for?" she asked after a while. Sesshomaru had yet to take his eyes off of her. "Sir?"
He shook his head, blinking as if she wasn't wearing what he thought she was wearing. But no, she was definitely in front of him with nothing more than a simple white nightgown and heels. He eyed her face and his eyes traveled lowered before coming back to her face. By now, she was flushing a wonderful shade of pink. He didn't trust his voice anymore and wordlessly handed her the papers.
Sesshomaru turned around and walked back into his office.
Kagome glanced down at the papers. At least they had the instructions on what she needed to do. Humming to herself, she got to work and went down to floor eight. When she got to the room that she needed, she knocked and waited for someone to let her in.
The door opened and a male looked at her. "Sis? What are you doing here?"
"Miroku?" The siblings just stared at each other for a few moments before Kagome asked, "The boss needs your approval signs. You're apparently the only one that didn't hand them in."
As if she didn't say anything at all, he questioned confused, "Wait… you work for Sesshomaru?" She rolled her eyes at him and waited for him to hand over what she needed. "This is the job you were talking about wasn't it?"
"Be a dear and hurry up," she said sweetly, overly sweet that had Miroku moving just a tad faster than normal. "And yes, I work for him. I'm his secretary."
She heard him whistle lowly and watched him shift through a couple of documents on his desk before finding the right one. He walked over to her but paused. He did exactly what Sesshomaru had done with his eyes and his too traveled up and down her body. A wild smirk made its way onto his lips as he said, "Showing off your curves for the boss huh?"
All she wanted to do was facepalm. Why was she gifted Miroku for a brother? That was just cruel and unusual punishment. "No, you dumbass. It's Wear Pajamas to Work Day. This is what I always wear, shouldn't you know that?"
He took a moment and looked closer to the nightgown she was wearing and she was right. It was the one that she always wore. "Well, it still shows off your curves you know. Let me know how Sess reacts to you wearing that okay?" His smirk didn't drop as he handed the folder that she needed.
"He started to ask me something then went mute, handed me what he wanted me to do and left without a word." Miroku's eyes widened a fraction then gave a cross between a smirk and a smile. It was something that was starting to creep Kagome out and she didn't know what she could do to make him stop. "Stop looking at me like that!"
"Ohoho! What's this? Sess went speechless? Ooh, that's good material. I always thought Sess was someone that would never get together with someone and all it took was my sister. I don't know whether to be proud or to defend you from a potential boyfriend." Her brother looked so damn gleeful that she started to back up and away from the door.
Kagome bolted to the elevator even as Miroku started to crackle. By the time she got back to her desk space, she wanted nothing to do with her brother. Not even thinking about it, she knocked on her boss' door and walked in. She practically glided to his desk and set down the folder, saying, "Never again. Never let me go to floor eight and ask for Miroku. You gotta be a big boy and do it yourself."
Sesshomaru didn't let it be known on his face that he was surprised that she just burst in, regardless if she knocked or not. "Are you or are you not my secretary? It is a part of your job to do things whereas I cannot."
"Oh, finally found your voice?" That caught his attention as he narrowed his eyes onto her. "I don't care what has to be done the next time you need to talk to Miroku but so help me, it's not going to be me that's going to talk to him. There's only so much Miroku I can handle. It's bad enough I have to deal with him at home," she complained, crossing her arms over her chest.
Feisty thing, wasn't she? He decided that he needed the upper hand and clarified, "Perhaps the next time you go to talk to someone, you will want to read who is holding onto the folder. It clearly states right here—" He pointed to the name that was highlighted in yellow as his secretary seemed to realize that he was right and continued, "—that you were heading to Miroku but since you are blind and in need of assistance, I will remind you that I am the boss and you must listen to me if you want to keep your job. I do not care if he is your brother, you will treat him as another employee and be done with it. Understood?"
Kagome narrowed her own eyes onto him. He regarded her silently but he smirked when he heard, "Understood sir." He dismissed her with a flick of his hand.
As she was walking out, he added, "The next time you decide to wear something as such of what you currently wearing, be prepared to have your pay docked. It is distracting and unattractive." Boy was he lying to himself but he couldn't help the way that it got a rise out of her.
"It's Wear Pajamas to Work Day! You clearly didn't get the memo!" Ah, and there was the rise he was waiting for.
"I assure you that had I gotten the memo, you wouldn't be able to work due to blood loss and that would be such a shame, now wouldn't it?" She couldn't help but gape at him. He waved her away. He got the last say; that was all that mattered.
He leaned against his office chair, smirking. It was good to be the boss.
