I don't own Inuyasha but I do own the story. I love Inuyasha.

CHAPTER TWO

Kagome's House

At home sitting in the dark on her living room couch feeling sorry for herself, Kagome still couldnt believe that her boss is considering her for marriage, let alone practically making her agree to giving him a chance.

She didn't know him let alone even thought about him in that way. She much preferred her life to herself. She tried that dating thing with Koga and he ended up turning into a jerk. He was more interested in screwing her than loving her. Along with Ayame, the girl who she thought was her friend.

Kagome hasn't seen nor spoken to them and over a year now and she couldnt be more relaxed or relieved. If she was honest though she'd admit she missed her friendship with Ayame. At least what they had before Koga came between them.

She sighed continuing to stare off into space when the light of the living room flashed on around her. Kagome didn't flinch much but she knew who it was and she really wasn't in the mood for Sango or her questions. Once she started there was no finishing. Unless you forced her to end it of course.

"Are you okay? Why are you sitting in the dark like this?" Her voice holding that of concern.

Kagome glanced at Sango then looked back to the yellow wall in front of her. "It's nothing. I just had a crazy day."

Sango narrowed her eyes than walking the rest of the way into the room. "That still doesn't explain the dark." She pushed.

Kagome sighed. Clearly Sango wasn't going to drop this. It doesn't matter though. Kagome did need a second opinion on this. She didn't have much choice anyway.

"Okay. Sango, what I'm going to tell you is between just me and you. Not even Miroku can know about this." She started staring deeply into Sango's eyes to see if she could understand she meant it.

Sango watched her face for a few moments before she nodded in agreement causing Kagome to release a breath she didn't know she was even holding.

"Today. My boss Inuyasha approached me and propositioned me into a deal to marry him." Kagome waited in silence watching Sango's reaction and she didn't have to wait long.

Sango jumped up from the couch and yelled. "Are you kidding me! Who does that? You don't even know the guy and he did that. I should go down there and kick his..."

"Sango! I need your help in your opinion. He said if I don't do this it could cost me my job. That's how serious he is about this. I don't want to marry him but I don't want to lose my job either." What was she going to do.

"Why that little-" Sango grumbled but Kagome cut her off.

"Sango please. Concentrate. What do I do? I don't want to lose my job and it's not like I can go and complain over his head about this he's my boss."

Sango sighed. "With this Kagome I don't know what to really tell you. I mean you don't want to marry him yet you'll lose your job if you don't and you don't want to lose that. So your only option is to marry him. If there was any other choice I'd tell you to kick him in the balls and quit. The nerve."

Kagome laughed somewhat because Sango was always to get her to laugh at some or other even at the worse of times but Sango is right. Since Kagome isn't willing to lose her job over this she had no choice but to go all the way with this. She was going to give him his six months and if she still feels the same way as she does now than screw hee job she wasn't going to marry him.

She'd look somewhere else but she wouldn't be bound to the man for anything.

"Your right. I have to do it but I'm going to give him his six months of getting to know him better and if I still feel the same than screw it I won't marry him. I'll only marry if I'm in love and they love me. No other way around that." Kagome stated with determination. Sango smiled at her.

"You know what that means don't you?" Sango asked.

Kagome looked at her in question and shook her head. "Your going to have to make him fall in love with you if you want to marry a man who's in lover with you. Otherwise you'll be in a unrequited love."

Kagome sighed again. Yeah that would suck for her and their was no way she was going to get trapped in a loveless marriage with only her loving a man that didn't love her. It would weight down on her and slowly kill her emotionally. It would make her do things she wouldnt normally do.

"I guess I have my answer." Kagome said looking at the yellow wall mostly talking to herself but Sango still heard her.

"What answer is that?" Sango asked looking at Kagome.

Kagome then looked back at Sango with a tiny smirk on her lips that showed a bit of mischievousness.

"I'm going to have to claim the heart of my boss and husband to be." She answered.
