CHAPTER 3 THE FIRST DAY
Kagome parked her car, in what seemed to be the biggest parking garage ever, and headed for the enterprise.
As Kagome entered the tall building covered in windows, she was amazed to see so many people. She has never really been to the city.
As she approached the front desk she saw a young woman about her age.
"Hello, May I help you?" Asked the woman at the desk.
"Uh yes, I just started working here and I was looking for Takahashi Inuyasha's office."
"Name please"
" Higurashi Kagome."
(Standing in the distance is a man. Peering at Kagome.)
"Ah yes, miss. Higurashi you will be working as a secretary for my brother Inuyasha."
"I am Takahashi Sesshomaru." (Stepping out from behind the woman at the desk.) "Please come with me."
As she followed Sesshomaru she was able to see how beautiful the building really was. Large expensive paintings were hanging everywhere, along with unusual sculptures in all the corners. This building was much bigger than she could have ever imagined.
Walking into a large office, Kagome saw her name in rich gold letters engraved across the door. She was in shock and disbelief that this office could really be hers. To the left of her desk, she saw a door that said Mr. Takahashi. She pondered on the thought of how big his office must be if hers was this large.
"Miss. Higurashi," Kagome was taking out of her daze when she heard her name. "my brother is out of the office at the moment. If anyone comes in tell them they need to reschedule."
"I will be leaving now." Sesshomaru said as he walked out the door.
When Sesshomaru left Kagome decided to look around a little bit more before her boss came back. There was two huge tropical plants in each of the corners and several amazing paintings on the walls. She plopped down in a overly large black leather chair. Kagome began to spin around like a little girl, her head was swimming with thoughts.
Startled by the door slamming shut, she whirled around in her chair. Feeling a bit foolish by her actions, she looked up to see a man standing in the door way. She was hoping that this gentlemen did not see her spinning foolishly in the chair. The man in the doorway looked very similar to the man that just left. Except this man appeared to be less uptight. He wore a loose fitting red dress shirt and black baggy pant. Unlike Sesshomaru with his elfin ears, this man has dog like ears. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if she could rub them they just looked so cute.
"Hello, may I help you." Asked Kagome
"What are you doing here!" questioned the man forcefully
"Excuse me don't raise your voice to me. If you are here to see Mr. Takahashi he is unavailable at the moment. You will need to reschedule. If you are here to just poke fun at the new employee then you are an insensitive jerk and I will ask you to leave!!."
The man was stunned by the girls forceful words, and he knew then, that she was completely unaware of who he was.
"Miss. Higurashi are you aware of who I am." He asked a little more calmer now.
She arose from her chair and walked towards the window. Nervously she looked out the window at the beautiful city, she began to fidget, with her back turned from the man.
"Obviously not sir, if I just asked you to reschedule. If you need to get in touch with Mr. Takahashi just leave your name with me and I will let him know you graced me with your presence today. Once again if you are here to play games and insult me I suggest you leave MY office now!" she said turning once more towards the gentleman and walking towards her chair.
" Kagome, I don't need to see Mr. Takahashi" He Stepping closer to her. "because I am Mr. Takahashi" he grinned at the reaction he received from her.
Kagome smacked her self in the forehead and plopped in the chair once more. "I can't believe that just happened. I feel like at idiot. I just know that I have blown my job on my first day even. Good going Kagome, you moron, you just couldn't keep your mouth shut!' She scolded herself.
"I'm… I'm" she was cut off by another person barging into the room, to her relief. She would have to remind herself to thank him one day.
"THERE YOU ARE INUYASHA! I HEARD YOU HAVE A LOVELY NEW SECRETARY TODAY!!" said the man that entered. He had very short black hair and a short pony tail in the back, along with these amazing violet eyes. He wore a decent purple dress shirt and a pair of black pants.
The man walked up to Kagome and grabbed her hands while flashing her a cheesy but charming smile.
"Hello, allow me to introduce myself, I am Houshi Miroku, but you may call me Miroku. And what name shall I call you?"
Lost for words all that she could say was, "…Kagome."
"What a beautiful name for a stunning lady." he said with that boyish smile.
Kagome couldn't help but blush at this comment.
At that same moment the door shot open.
"HOUSHI,!!! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HARASSING THE NEW EMPLOYEES!" exclaimed the girl that just entered. She was wearing a white button up blouse underneath a black jacket, as well as a pair of professional black pants. Her eyes were as dark as chocolate and her black hair was in a high ponytail.
"Your always trying to take advantage of the new girls. Your hopeless Houshi!"
"I was only introducing myself my dear Sango. You're the one I love!"
"Save it I don't want to here it right now!"
Kagome was pondering upon these two, she was indecisive whether these two were a couple. "Just before this woman walked in it seemed to be that Houshi was hitting on me, now he is calling her his love. I am so confused.'
"Hi I'm Taijyai Sango you must be Kagome, right?
"Yes, I just started today."
"So, you working with the big boss man huh Kagome?" Sango teased
"Yes… I guess I am the new secretary for Mr. Takahashi. Looking at her new boss with pleading eyes.
"Yes, Kagome you are my secretary and you will be assisting me with my appointments. I am a business man, you know, watching where my money goes and keeping track of it will also be part of your job." Stated Mr. Takahashi. " oh, and one more thing Kagome stop calling me Mr. Takahashi, We'll be seeing a lot of each other and there is no need to be formal." He said giving her a quick grin.
"Well Kagome since your new here, how about I show you around? You need to make sure you know were everything is if your going to work here.!" said Sango happily.
"Are you sure its ok to leave?, I mean I haven't started off very well today."
Relax I'm sure Inuyasha doesn't mind, besides I'm one of the top executives! So if he has something to say just tell me and I'll take care of that jerk. Better yet I'll take you on a trip around the city!"
" The City!" "I thought we were taking a tour of the company?" Declared Kagome a little confused and excited.
"We will, after our trip around the city." Sango grabbed a hold Kagome's hand and lead her to the parking garage.
( While Sango and Kagome went on there little trip around the city ,they left the two men in Kagome's office confused.)
Miroku and Inuyasha looked at each other and could not believe how fast the two woman left.
"Do you really think Sango took her on a tour of the company?" asked Miroku.
"Not a chance" Inuyasha said with a sigh.
"So, looks like you got a pretty one this time, eh?" Miroku said with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah well, you better keep your hands off of her Houshi. "
"Inuyasha, are you implying that I would touch a woman disrespectfully."
Asked Miroku trying to sound offended but was failing miserably.
"Miroku cut the crap, I know how you are with women. So, if you know what's good for you stay away from her." Inuyasha warned.
"Inuyasha is that a hint of jealousy I hear." Miroku asked beaming like a mad man.
"Houshi go do what we pay you for, and get out."
"I would if a certain someone would tell me what are next job is."
"Well, I've already sent some men out to look for Naraku."
"But isn't that dangerous Inuyasha. We've been enemies with this guy for years now, and we know he doesn't play fair. He'll do anything just to make sure everything goes his way. He could have a man on every corner of the city for all we know!" Enraged Miroku.
"You think I don't know that! But we have no choice, he's already taken parts of our territory. What do you want me to do just sit back and watch while he gets more powerful and take over. He may only be a hanyou but he is strong and sneaky. We have to do something before its to late."
"I know we have to do something but what if something goes wrong."
"Were just going to have take that risk Miroku."
"Well I just hope you know what your doing." Fumed Miroku as he walked out the door shaking his head.
Annoyed to see yet another person starting to enter the office, Inuyasha went to the door to stop the person. He looked about fifteen and had reddish brown hair. He had his hair up in a ponytail and had a fluffy tail.
"Shippo what do you honestly want? I am not in the mood to be bothered by you at the moment." Inuyasha whispered into the young kitsune's ear.
" You know I'm the office runner and I work on computers Inuyasha don't be an idiot!"
Playfully pushing Shippo into the hallway, "What did you call me brat."
"Uh.. Nothing." stuttered Shippo not liking the way Inuyasha was looking at him.
"That's what l thought!" Grinning victoriously.
"ANWAYS! Sesshomaru says he wants to see you in his office."
"What for?"
"I'm not sure, I didn't ask and he didn't tell."
"Well, tell him I'll be there in a few minutes"
"Oh and I almost forgot the reports you wanted on the wolf youkai clan are on there way. I should have them to you in a couple of hours."
"They better be here or its YOU, I'm coming after."
Shippo turned and skipped down the hall as Inuyasha went the opposite direction to see what Sesshomaru could possibly what.
(He arrived at the office seeing Sesshomaru sitting behind his large red wood desk.)
"What do you want?" The hanyou questioned as he walked to a chair and sat down.
"As you know, I gave you the Higurashi girl to look after, lets just call it a little gift."
"Yeah, I realized that when I walked in and saw her and the desk. So, why did you give me the responsibility to look after the wench?"
"You are very unorganized and she specializes in business management. She will be good for you. Especially, after your last wench, the miko, the one who betrayed us for Naraku. The worst part was we found out when it was to late. She was working for him all along. " shouted Sesshomaru.
"Don't talk about Kikyou. She betrayed us and its over." Inuyasha said in a calm voice.
"You know very well that anyone that betrays us must die, but you let her live and now every piece of information she learned went to Naraku. Every time she asked to leave you should have been suspicious to were she went." Sesshomaru got up from his seat and walked up to where Inuyasha was sitting and grabbed him by the throat. "Now we lost thousands of dollars and double the amount of men in are last battle because of all the information Naraku had." He yelled fierce fully.
As Sesshomaru's grip got tighter Inuyasha seemed unfazed , Unwillingly Sesshomaru released him, then regained his posture.
Inuyasha growled in frustration. "I KNOW! I trusted her with everything, and now Naraku probably has the upper hand . I don't need to be reminded of my foolish mistakes by you!"
"Yes you were foolish, but it didn't stop there. You even fell love her, and that is why she is still living."
"Do you honestly think I am not aware of that., I'm not stupid. I'm the one that let her live and I'm the one to blame, I got it...!!"
"Inuyasha just don't let it happen again, and remember she dies when you see her again. Now get out of my face."
