Chapter 5. – A Demanding, Manipulative Blunder.

Miroku sat at the edge of Kagome's bed while Sango kept their dorm room door open as she came back inside the room with a cup of hot herbal tea for Kagome and coffee for herself.

"Thank you," Kagome whispered as she took the hot, steaming cup and had a little sip of it.

"Are you feeling any better?" Miroku asked while Sango sat down on the chair next to the desk in front of Kagome.

"I am fine you guys," Kagome sighed as she put the cup on the desk near her bed. "You guys don't have to keep me company. I'm not dying, and the doctor said I will be just fine as long as I keep taking my medicine, so please just go out and have some fun. Don't ruin your plans just for me," Kagome said with an approving look as she nodded at the both of them.

"I can't just leave you alo-" Sango began but a voice interrupted her.

"Sure you can," Inuyasha interrupted Sango's protest and caused everyone to look up at him by the opened door.

"Where did you come from?" Kagome asked, forgetting the call Inuyasha made through Miroku's SUV Bluetooth.

"From my apartment not so far from here actually," Inuyasha shrugged with a smirk forming on his lips as he stared in Kagome's eyes.

Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes at him. "I don't need everyone watching my every move."

"Yes, you do," Inuyasha said back while walking in the dorm room and sitting on Sango's bed across from Kagome.

"As I was saying," he finally took his eyes off of Kagome's and looked at Sango. "Sure you can leave her and have some hot, sweaty time with my home boy here while I'm here to look after Kagome," he finished his sentence with yet another amused smirk forming on his lips which made Sango turn all kinds of different shades of red as she looked down.

Miroku cleared his throat as he got up and placed his hand on Sango's shoulder. "I, uh, actually have a surprise for you today that I was about to reschedule-."

"No, don't reschedule," Kagome interrupted. "You guys shouldn't change your plans for me," she stated after she looked down.

'But if they leave, I'll be left along with Inuyasha,' Kagome thought to herself which made her flush a little bit, and she put one hand over her face and neck. 'Why am I feeling the fever coming back again all of a sudden?'

Sango jumped up immediately and started to smile a bit. "Okay we'll go, but only because Inuyasha is here," she giggled at her own statement. "Call us if you need anything and don't forget to take your medicine," she added then hugged Kagome slightly before she left with Miroku.

Kagome sighed then turned her head over to the hanyou.

"You can go too, Inuyasha. I don't need a babysitter. I am perfectly fine," as she said her last statement, a cough started to have the best of her while she quickly took her inhaler and breathe in and out of it to ease down the horrible chest pain that build up.

"I beg to differ," Inuyasha snorted, but his grin turned to a frown when he saw how sick Kagome really was.

"I mean it. I want to be alone, I also have to study, shower and-"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take you out of my sight until I know for sure you can manage on your own."

"I can manage on my own just fine now, thank you," Kagome rolled her eyes as she took another sip of her herbal tea.

Inuyasha just shook his head with an 'I can't believe this' smile.

"Now go," she added while pointing to the door. She's already feeling a fever coming in again right when Inuyasha walked through that door, so he had to leave.

Inuyasha looked at the door then back at Kagome. "Yeah, I'll go. But I'm gonna take you with me."

Kagome crossed her arms as her eyebrows furrowed together as she shook her head. "You can't force me to come with you."

Inuyasha just smirked as he got up from his seat and approached over to her.

Kagome glared at him. "Don't you dare!"

`.~ *`*`* ~.`

Sesshomaru was headed to his office when he realized Kagura next to her desk with a cardboard box in her hands.

"What is it, Kagura?" Sesshomaru sighed out as a durable but irritable headache was slowly developing in his head from a long day at work.

"I quit," her voice was steady and cold that Sesshomaru knew something was up.

"What are you talking about? Come to my office and we'll talk about it privately," he sighed.

"No. It's done. I'm done," she slowly stated once again before leaning forward to whisper.

"Find some other whore assistant to satisfy you because I'm out."

And that was it, Sesshomaru growled, grabbed her by the arm, pushed her into his office, and slammed the door shut.

"I don't have time for this, wench. I have too much shit on my plate right now to deal with your bullshit. Now get back to work, those phones aren't going to answer for themselves!" Sesshomaru clenched his teeth as his blood started to boil from anger. No one could leave without his permission, especially a whore like her.

"I can't stand to see you every day in here especially with what I feel about you only for you to ignore it and only use it for just your own satisfaction. You are no different than your half-breed of a broth-" Kagura shouted but ceased when a hand came across her face.

"Don't. You dare compare me to that bastard," Sesshomaru stated as he slowly pointed a finger at her with rage.

"Am I wrong?" Kagura swallowed out as she touched her face and headed for the door. She reached the doorknob and then stopped to turn her head to the right to face Sesshomaru.

"I'm with child by the way and it's yours. Now you will be the father of a bastard, another reason why I'm done being your whore assistant!" Kagura hissed and left leaving Sesshomaru hanging before he could have another word out.

He growled out loud as he threw one of the chairs in front of his desk across the office. He took out his cell phone and speed dialed a number.

"Jaken, that assistant, Kagura is with child. I need you to take care of her."

"Take care of her as in provide everything that she needs for the baby, my lord?" Jaken asked unknowingly at what Sesshomaru actually meant.

"No Jaken," Sesshomaru sighed out of annoyance. "Use my business card I gave you to run errands with and make her get rid of the fetus."

"What?" Jaken screamed in shock. "B-but, my lord-."

"No buts, Jaken. Do as I say," Sesshomaru interrupted him with a solid tone.

"Yes, m-my lord," Jaken finally managed out of his throat after hearing his boss's cold voice that always managed to give him the chills.

"Oh and Jaken, I need a new assistant-."

"Already taken care of," Sesshomaru heard his father call out next to the front door of his office.

"I'll call you back, Jaken," Sesshomaru hissed as he hung up the phone while looking at his father in confusion. "What are you talking about?" he growled out.

"I knew about that Kagura girl wanting to quit ahead of time, so I quickly found her replacement."

"And you did that without asking why she was quitting?"

"No need. If an employee of mine even has the idea of quitting, they cannot be trusted in the future. So, I make sure to let those leave as soon as possible."

"You haven't heard my recent phone conversation, have you?"

"No and I don't care. I'm only here to introduce you to your new assistant," Inutaisho turned around and moved his arm to his right to reveal a teenager who looked proud and full of self-esteem.

"Rin Matsuo. Yes, she looks inexperienced and she's only 18 years old, but she finished high school at the early age of 16, and just now finished her Business Administration associate degree. She also speaks English and has already been accepted to a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Though she may be very young and inexperienced, she is still most knowledgeable than anyone else I've interviewed today. I'm sure she will do a good job with her great knowledge of the business field," Inutaisho stated while his son just looked at him with rage.

"A mere human!? And a child human at that!?" Sesshomaru spouted out loud in disbelief.

Rin just merely tilted her head as her eyebrows drew together in a scowl. "I beg your pardon?"

"Don't mind his manners. He'll tell you what is needed of you," Inutaisho stated as he glared at Sesshomaru one last time before turning around and walking out of the office.

Right when the door closed behind, Rin still had the same scowl look on her face as she took a few more steps closer which angered Sesshomaru even more.

"Unlike you, I need this job, Mr. Takahashi. So, I suggest we all play nice at the sake of the responsibilities that we have to fulfill," she kept her glare on him before standing up straight and clearing her throat. "Now, what can I do for you, Mr. Takahashi?" she questioned while crossing her arms together.

"First of all, you bitch," Sesshomaru stated while getting closer to her.

Rin just gasped at how unprofessional he was while slightly tilting her head back as he got closer.

"You better talk to me with respect or I will end your job with the snap of my fingers and make sure that no one hires you ever again," he raged at her.

Rin just simply swallowed hard and cleared her throat, but still kept the expression that he does not scare her one bit while waiting for the son of a bitch to finish his bullshit in which what he calls pride.

"Secondly," he grinned with an amused look on his face. "Get me a cup of coffee, black with no sugar," he then turned around and went back to his desk and sat down on his chair. "I also would like to have a sesame bagel with cream cheese and make sure that it is medium toasted and cut in the middle for me with a side of a blueberry muffin," he suddenly ordered in a loud snarling whisper, then he crossed his feet up on top of his desk and his arms crossed under his chest.

She just stared at him and he tilted his head to the side.

"What? I'm hungry and I missed breakfast. Oh and when you're done fetching my food, make sure to finish up all the files on your, now new desk. Remember, you will need to check your work at least three times before submitting the files in. One mistake can cause you your job, any one mistake will cause you to lose your job for that matter. Also, the phones that will be ringing on your desk are people that either need information on our models or information on how much their particular jewelry is worth.

It is your job to make sure you study how much each jewelry will cost ahead of time. There are many people who make fake phone calls, so unless they are Jaken or a legit customer, just hang up. Other types of the phone calls can be for appointments, but also note that I will not take any appointments on the weekends or Fridays as well as January 1st, January 14th, February 11th, March 21st, April 1st, April 29th, May 1st, May 3rd, May 4th, May 6th, July 15th, August 12th, September 16th, September 23rd, October 14th, October 22nd, November 4th, November 23rd, nor December 31. These dates are mixed in with Japanese holidays as well as days that I'd rather not have a busy schedule, and it's yearly, so make sure to mark that these days are unavailable for appointment every year. I will not repeat myself so you should have probably written all of that down somewhere.

Lastly, take those files on that table at the corner right side of this office and put them all in alphabetical order starting with the last names listed on each paper. Then when you're done, there is a file cabinet near your desk to file them in. Some of those files have two-page parts on certain customers that was not stapled together. The two-part pages are more likely misplaced from one another, so make sure that you have found the coinciding pages and staple all the two-part pages together. Again, every one of them has to be in alphabetical order and filed that way. Again, no messing up even once or you're fired," Sesshomaru smirked.

He locked his fingers and laid them behind his head while he stared at her once he finally finished ordering her around.

Rin just stared at the files on the table which looked like there might be over three hundred pages long in length.

She slowly took a deep breath and went over to the table at the corner right to pick up all of the files.

"Fine," she breathed out.

"Yes, sir," Sesshomaru corrected her.

"Yes. Sir," Rin slowly murmured out through her clenched teeth and rolled her eyes to herself.

"Oh and I want my food no later than ten minutes from now. I hate waiting," he called out to her.

She took all the files and went over to her new office and to her chagrin, the phones were already ringing like there was no tomorrow.

'It's going to be a long ass day,' she thought to herself.

`.~ *`*`* ~.`

Kagome sat on the couch with her arms crossed to her chest and her left leg crossed over to her right one. She gave a sharp glare headed in Inuyasha's way.

"What?" Inuyasha chuckled out as he sat on the coffee table in front of Kagome while holding a bowl of chicken noodle soup that he was trying to feed to her.

"Kidnapper!" Kagome hissed out as she started shaking her right leg that just made Inuyasha chuckle harder which turned into a slight laughter.

"Childish, are we? Look at the way you're acting right now. Typical child act," he smirked down at her.

She simply gave him a kick with her crossed left leg that was harder than she intended it to be.

"Hey watch it!" Inuyasha called out as he jumped up in the air while spilling the hot bowl of soup on Kagome's lap.

"Ahh! Hot, hot, hot, hot!" Kagome jumped up while trying to shake the noodles off of her jean clad thighs from the soup.

"Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked in concern as he rushed over to the kitchen to get layers and layers of wet paper towel.

"Let me help you wipe this-"

"No thank you," Kagome snapped as she snatched the paper towels out from Inuyasha's hand and wiped the steaming soup off of her own lap. "Just show me the bathroom," she yelled out.

"Behind you next to the kitchen on the right," Inuyasha addressed as Kagome rushed over to the bathroom.

"Hold on," Inuyasha called out as he went over to his bedroom and got one of his sweatpants.

"You can't stay in those pants, so here," he said and held up a pair of sweatpants toward her direction.

"Thanks," Kagome whispered as she snatched the sweatpants from his hand that caused their hands to slightly touch which made her gasp, but without any realization on his part.

She quickly went inside the bathroom and closed the door shut. She laid her back on the door as she tried to steady her racing heart. Why was she feeling so strange all of a sudden towards him? She neither like it nor did she hate it, it was all too confusing for her.

Inuyasha sighed to himself and rolled his eyes without even realizing the actions that just occurred. He went back to the leaving room to clean up the mess that was made.

Once Inuyasha was done with cleaning and placing the spilled bowl in the kitchen sink, Kagome got out of the bathroom with her jeans over her left arm.

"I'm going to give you another bowl of soup, but this time be careful," Inuyasha called out to Kagome as she sat back down on the couch.

"I don't want any," Kagome whispered, without making any eye contact this time.

"But you're getting some," Inuyasha wiped his hands dry before going to get another bowl to pour the soup onto.

He then went over to Kagome and sat down on the coffee table in front of her again.

"Please for me, eat some," he whispered as he got a spoonful of soup.

He blew the hot contents so it wouldn't be too hot for her before he gave it to her.

Kagome just looked deep in Inuyasha's eyes then at the spoon before she finally allowed the spoon to enter her mouth.

Inuyasha smirked when she finally opened her mouth as he got another spoonful of soup. He repeated the process feeling like they were getting somewhere.

After a few minutes, Kagome pulled her head back away. "That's enough, Inuyasha. I had enough soup for one day."

Inuyasha smiled with a nod as he got up and took the bowl of soup over to the sink.

When he came back, he sat down on the same couch next to her.

"Thank you," she whispered to him.

"No need to thank me, Kags," he responded.

"Kags?" she looked at him with one eyebrow up.

"Is it okay if I call you that?"

"S-sure, I-I g-guess," Kagome stuttered, she hated when she started to stutter out of nowhere. It embarrasses her, especially if she starts liking a guy.

Wait, does that mean that she is starting to like Inuyasha? Of course, she likes him, they are friends after all. She rolled her eyes at herself mentally. But is she starting to like him even more? She shook that part out of her head. Of course, she cannot fall for Inuyasha, he is a player after all and way out of her league.

"Why did you lash out on me when I brought you here?" Inuyasha all of a sudden asked out of the blue.

"Even though I know you wanted to help, I just can't help the fact to know what guys like you have in mind and I honestly didn't want to be alone with you," she mumbled.

"Guys like me?" he asked.

She sighed. "Yes, even though I agreed to be your friend, I'd like to keep my distance," she avoided eye contact again.

"What kind of a guy do you think I am?"

"It doesn't matter what I think."

"It matters to me."

"Well I don't want to say," Kagome sassed back to him.

"Answer me," he demanded with a slight growl that he tried to hide.

Though he tried to control his temper when he realized that he snapped, it was already too late.

That made Kagome's anger spike and this time she actually did lash out.

"S-see, th-that right there," Kagome's voice and anger spiking at dangerous levels.

She straightened up and turned her body more so to face him with her right index finger pointing at him.

"You're so demanding, a manipulative… p-person. I know guys like you and I d-despise guys like you," she shouted but mentally head slapped herself. She bit her lip when she realized how wrong she worded her words and couldn't take them back now.

'Shit.'

"You despise me?" Inuyasha whispered, that really hit him hard and he wasn't expecting her to say something like that to him.

"N-no. N-not you in p-particular," Kagome sighed as she took a deep breath in from her inhaler because her chest pain started bothering her once again.

Then she looked deep in Inuyasha's eyes. "I meant that I despise guys that won't stop at nothing to get in my pants. It will never work, so I-."

"What gave you that idea!?" Inuyasha yelled out of anger even though her statement was, indeed, true.

"I did a little research about you, Inuyasha and remembered our first meeting? Like I just said, you're so demanding, manipulative and I despise guys like that, okay?" she explained.

"No, not okay!" he yelled out even louder while slowly losing more and more of his temper. "First of all, I did nothing to you that was manipulative and second-"

"You stole my first kiss," Kagome mumbled out, interrupting Inuyasha's statement which did make him stop and just look at her.

It's true, he did steal her first kiss, he forgot about that part.

"Yes, I forgave you and decided to be friends with you and yes you did save my life, twice now, but that doesn't change that one fact. That one fact that did, indeed, mean a lot to me," she just looked down at her fingers this time.

"What if I told you that I'm not the person that you think I am?" he asked while swallowing away his slowly fading away anger.

"The infamous Inuyasha Takahashi, a horny playboy and the youngest son of the well-known jewelry business owner, Inutaisho Takahashi? Please, who doesn't know you and your repetition? I don't think a repetition like that will ever change," she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

'Calm down Inuyasha. Stay cool,' Inuyasha told himself, not wanting to lash out again. He cleared his throat and looked away from her.

"What if I told you that I've changed?" he said as calmly and softly as he possibly could before glimpsing back down at Kagome.

"I would like to believe it," she swallowed hard and used her inhaler again.

"Kagome," Inuyasha sighed. "I would really appreciate it if you stop judging me before getting to know me," he whispered.

"I know, but I can't help but think-" she whispered only to get interrupted.

"Fine, it's true," he whispered as he took a deep breath.

Kagome's head just raised up as she looked at him with one eyebrow raising up.

"I am just a screwed-up bastard who was conceived in result of a love affair. I am a demanding, manipulative bastard who shouldn't have been born, okay? I just don't believe in love. I never knew what it's like to love or to be loved. That's just how I was raised, by feeling like a big mistake. Unwanted. I am a blunder, okay?" Inuyasha started to trail off.

"Your parents had you through a love affair?" Kagome asked with confusion and now developing sympathy towards him.

"My father was cheating on Sesshomaru's mother with my mother, but it wasn't just sex, they were in love, Kagome," he explained.

"Then what really is the problem other than them having an affair?" she asked while tilting her head as she listened to his story.

"I am," he answered. "Like I said, I'm a blunder, Kagome. My mother died because of me while giving birth to me. They said either the baby or the mother. My father, obviously, picked his love to live over me. But, when the doctors tried to make that possible by still trying to save me at the same time, it just turned the other way around where I survived but my mother didn't. Father sued the hospital for that if you must know," Inuyasha paused for a moment while glancing down at the floor and going deep in thought, then he eventually continued after a few seconds.

"I was raised as being hated by both Father and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru hated me because his mother left both him and Father once she found out about me. She didn't even want to take Sesshomaru with her, and Sesshomaru blamed it on me more than he blamed it on Father. Father hated me because I'm the one that took his one true love away from him. Yet he says I'm his favorite son, but I figured the real reason was because I'm still a part of her, a part of his love. He sometimes sees my mother in me, especially of how I look so much like her when I transform fully into my human form every new moon. I'm also the reason why Sesshomaru hates all humans and half-demons alike, but hey, I don't give a shit about that." Inuyasha finished his short story as he crossed his arms and leaned back only to feel a small, soft hand touching his upper leg.

Inuyasha looked at the hand, then at Kagome's eyes that was filled with forming tears that he could smell from a mile away.

"What's got you so emotional? Look, I don't want any pity from you, okay?" he barked out and immediately started to regret opening up to her.

This is why he mostly never opens up to anyone, to avoid the pity face that people would give him, but somehow Kagome was different, and he wanted her to know.

"No, I don't pity you at all," Kagome's soft voice sounded peacefully in Inuyasha's ears that made both his doggy ears swivel towards her a little bit.

"Now I understand why you are the person that you are, and I want to help you through it. Maybe help you feel even better about yourself because rather you believe it or not, you're not a mistake. You're just misjudged. You deserve as much as everybody else does to live in this world, Inuyasha. Don't think you don't deserve to live because you do."

"I could care-less about this world, Kagome. That's why I don't give a rat's ass about anything else but sex and that's only because sex makes me feel worthy for at least a few minutes," Inuyasha said and looked deep into Kagome's eyes.

"You are worthy for so many other things, Inuyasha. You just don't know it yet," Kagome said and faced Inuyasha.

They locked eyes for a few moments. All they could do was look deep in each other's eyes from chocolate to gold, gold to chocolate.

'What is this feeling I'm feeling right now? At the top part of my stomach? This warm sensation that I've never felt before. Are they butterflies? No way, this... this feels different somehow. It feels like pride and worth, not the kind of worth I feel when I stick my dick in some girl's ass. This kind of feeling... like... like I truly belong,' Inuyasha mentally reassessing his thoughts with unknown emotions coursing through his body.

His heart started to increase its beats as well and was loud enough for it to pump in his ear.

'What is happening to me?' Inuyasha wondered mentally as he furrowed his eyebrows together.

"I, uh, should get going," Kagome said, finally breaking the silence. "I still need to get ready for my classes next week and I am starting to feel a lot bett-"

"No, stay here," he interrupted her with a whisper. He was still in daze from the confusion he felt inside of his body.

"I-I can't-" she started to protest only to be interrupted once again.

"You'll sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the couch. I'm not leaving you out of my sight until I know for sure you are better," he looked deep in her chocolate colored eyes.

"Okay, fine," she finally whispered in agreement that made Inuyasha smile with relief.

`.~ *`*`* ~.`

"What do you mean she refuses to have the treatment?" Sesshomaru growled out as he paced around his office. "Either you get her to the hospital, or I will shoot the baby out of her and make you eat it before I fire your sorry ass!" he snapped out before he hung the phone in Jaken's face.

"Problem after another, I can't deal with everything all at once. I am just a demon after all!" That sounded way better in his head, he thought.

"Yes, you sure are after all a demon. Sir," Rin said with a slight pause before saying her last word while trying so hard to hide her grin off of her face.

"What do you want now?" Sesshomaru sighed as he rubbed his head after sitting back down to his chair.

"These files are ready for you to sign. Sir," Rin said by pausing slightly after saying her last word yet again.

She then handed him the files that needed signing.

Sesshomaru quickly signed them all without even thinking to read the forms that he was signing before he hinted for her to leave him alone.

"There is also someone on the line that wanted to speak with you. Her name is Kahkura, I think," Rin stated while forgetting Kagura's name.

That made Sesshomaru jump up with wide eyes as he signaled Rin to leave once again in which she actually did this time. He quickly picked up his phone and pushed a button to take it off hold.

"You!" Sesshomaru bellowed through the phone.

"Well, my baby daddy seems to want to kill our beautiful creation," Kagura grinned on the other end of the phone.

"You bitch, if you don't go through with that treatment, I will come and kill it myself by slicing your fucking head off!"

"Good luck trying, Sesshy, but I need this baby to swap some money off of you."

"Fine, I'll give you as much as you want if you kill it," Sesshomaru was liking the idea about giving her money to get rid of that blunder.

Money was always the answer for him, no matter how much the receivers were talking about.

"Na-ah-ah," Kagura shook her head even though he couldn't see it. "I don't just want money now, but for eighteen whole years. With this baby, I will destroy you, Sesshy. You can't just screw me over and over and over again, then just get rid of me that easily my dear, little Fluffy."

At that last jab, Kagura hung up on Sesshomaru. He snarled against the phone before he threw the phone across his office shattering the glass of one of his windows.

They really need to decide on building demon proof windows.

A/N: Rin is finally here! I'm still in the process of how I want her character to portray, so please still bear with me on that.

Please review your thoughts to help me stay motivated as all your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions all count and matter to me. Thank you so much for reading!
