Luna: Hey people! It's Luna once more and Veron of course.
Veron: Stupid strobe lights.
Luna: See there's this October festival at our old elementary school. She forced me into going to the haunted house there. :: glares:: But the strobe lights made her blind the first time. Then when she went again with another friend of ours, she lost her sense of balance. And she hasn't exactly felt good since.
Veron: The contest.
Luna: Oh yeah! See we had a contest. And pretty much only two people participated.
1. Dan 2. Ayako ( Give me you r e-mail!!!)
Peorth Dr. was from ' Oh my Goddess' and Sakurazawa is the last name of the manga artist who does Angel nest and Between the sheets.
Dan got both of the answers correct. But the second person didn't. But that doesn't really matter, since she wins anyway because she was the only other person who played.
I'll email both of you later to figure out what parts you'll play in future chapters. ^_^
Now, you can finally find out who lives in the giant mansion where Kagome is trying to get a job. Heh.I wonder if you'll guess.
Veron: ugh..@.@
Luna: ::sigh:: You read this chapter and I'll play nurse. ::Sits beside Veron and rubs her back. Want some 7-up?
Veron: I just want the world to stop spinning.
Luna: ::sigh::
*~* Chapter 6: Oh my god this is NOT happening!
Kagome slowly entered the threshold, looking for the person who opened the door.
" Excuse me miss."
The miko looked down.
" KYAAAAAAAA!" She leapt backward in shock and stared.
There
Was.
Jakken.
" This is NOT happening!" Kagome whispered, before clamping her hands over her ears and shaking her head from side to side vigorously.
The 'Jakken' titled his ugly little frog head to one side in morbid curiosity.
" Is something the matter Miss?"
Kagome stopped her maniacal breakdown. Wait.didn't she purify Jakken? Well supposedly anyway?
Oh.
His ears.
Were of a persocoms.
" Phew." Kagome sighed in relief.
" I came here to answer the ad."
" Ah yes. This way." He slipped his hands into the sleeves of his robes and began to walk before her, leading her through many twisted sets of corridors. Where they stopped at two large double doors with silver handles.
' Please just let it be a manga fanatic.Please oh please..' Kagome get repeating inside her head as Jakken began to rap on the door.
" Yes?" A deep calm voice answered from the other side of the door.
' Please just let that be an uncanny resembelence. Oh please.'
" Sesshomaru-sama. A woman has come to answer your job proposal from the newspaper." Jakken replied, his large yellow eyes staring down the door unblinkingly.
' Please let it be a nickname.'
" Let her in." The voice answered.
Jakken bowed before tugging the door open. He bowed toward Kagome and motioned with his arm to venture inside.
With a dry swallow and a shaky nod of thanks to the servant, she took a deep breath and stepped inside.
With a loud slam the doors shut behind her. As if sealing her very fate.
Which in her perspective, it was.
' Please oh please.' She looked up and her eyes widened in contrast to her paling complexion.
' Oh shit.'
*~*
There she saw an incredibly familiar infamous taiyoukai lord.
The very LAST person she EVER expected to work for.
Or at least try anyway.
If her very head wasn't removed from her shoulders.
Sesshomaru raised a brow at the girl, who was just staring at him. Her scent was ebbed with slight fear and tons of regret.
She obviously didn't think it was him who was proposing the ad. He would've chuckled if it weren't such an awkward situation.
" I'm not going to kill you if that's what you're frightened of."
*~*
Kagome managed to return to her senses as she heard him speak. She immediately went on her guard.
" And why should I believe you? You've tried to kill me once before already."
Sesshomaru flicked back a strand of his hair before analyzing her with a bored gaze.
" And I would have succeeded if not for Tetsaiga." His eyes narrowed dangerously. " Speaking of Father's sword. Why isn't my bastard of a brother with you?"
In turn Kagome narrowed his eyes at him.
" I thought that you of all people would have realized what happened by now."
Sesshomaru gazed at her sternly.
" Inuyasha is dead."
*~*
It felt so weird to say that sentence which made her stomach churn for months now with such cold finality it didn't even affect her. In fact, she guiltily felt a little stronger, knowing something that Sesshomaru didn't.
" Then where is Tetsaiga?"
Kagome bowed her head.
" I don't know."
Scarlet bled into his amber eyes, and just about when he was going to wring it out of her useless mortal body with his bare.um hand. Rin popped her head in with a wreath of flowers around her head.
" Sesshomaru-sama?" She called out softly, before her gaze fell upon Kagome with the ad in her hand.
The young girl sighed exasperatedly.
" Sesshomaru-sama, are you going to scare off every woman that tries for the job?" She asked, watching his eyes as the red tint ebbed away, before his eyes fell on her.
" Perhaps you should choose if she is employed then Rin."
Nodding, Rin slowly stepped up to Kagome, when realization clouded her eyes.
" Kagome! I remember you. You're the girl I bumped into on the street!" Rin smiled before she tilted her head and looked around the area behind her.
" Why isn't that boy with you?"
" What boy? You mean Shippo?"
" No. the one with the dog ears.Where is he? He's usually traveling with you right?" Rin questioned, before she stopped abruptly when she saw the slight pain in Kagome's eyes.
" You don't have to answer that." Rin amended, before a secret plan formed in her mind.
" My name is Rin Sakurazawa. Sesshomaru-sama and Jakken-sama are my guardians. I am 12 ½ years of age. And I would enjoy it if you were my nanny." At the end of the little speech, Rin curtseyed and grinned proud of herself for finally finding someone she thought was cool and royally annoying Sesshomaru off.
" Um.okay." Kagome replied before the young girl smiled happily and took Kagome's arm, leading out of Sesshomaru's office.
As they did so, Rin heard the distinct sound of some poison creating holes in his desk. With a slight chuckle she led Kagome down the stairs into the backyard.

Sakura Luna: SO BLOODY TEMPTING!!!! I might do a tiny bit more.I mean...just a little. But I'm not sure yet. Thanks for reviewin! I'm rather partial to angst/romances too.
Animebaby08060: Ty for reviewing!
KagomeKia: Okay okay!! Don't sick Kenshin on me! Look I updated!
INiGmA: You'll find out why Miroku is alive later. I know.I'm cruel to these characters. ::shrugs:: It will be a HAPPY ending I promise you that.
Ever-Forever-Fuzzy: Sorry, I already have one beta-reader. But thank you for the offer.
Sango IS coming in. I might as well spoil that all for you now. And I have the perfect way to bring her in as well, but you'll just have to wait until next chapter!
::mischievous giggle::
And that Kirara idea I had kicked around too. I may do it, it is awfully tempting. Ty for reviewin!
CosmicMoon: Huzzah! Its unique! Arigotu!
Okashii: Okay Okay! ::hands her twenty tons of monkey banana flavored pocky:: happy?! n.n
Pori-Pori: OKAY! But it will be a long fic, and I'm not sure how to end it yet. I'm basically winging this whole thing as I go. ::sigh:: But ty for reviewing!
Pisces Panda: Cool a fellow fish girl like me! There will be some Miroku and Sango once she comes in. I promise you that.
The Inuyasha thing.
I cannot promise to anyone. Because I most likely WON'T bring him back. GOMEN!
Hope you stay with me otherwise to find out what happens with Kagome-chan!
And no just so you know she won't be paired up with someone else. Ty 4 reviewing.
Rukusho: Sango yes. Inuyasha..is still hanging in the air. Because I can't see an ending and until then I don't know about our dear dogboy either. Ty for reviewin!
INiGmA: ty!
SakuraLuna: yeah I guess it is a little difficult. Thanks for reviewin!
Sani: Thanks! ::hands her a couple of Pumpkin monkies:: for u! ^_^
Ashi-chan: um....
....
Even I don't know if he's alive. Sad eh? I'm basically writing this as it comes, so that's something I haven't even begun to ponder over yet. Ty for review!
Ayako: Between school, video games, friends and my own fanfic reading I don't know if I can post two chapters at a time. Gomen. Ty for review and compliments! And you won the second spot cuz no one else participated.
::sigh::
Give me ur e-mail and we'll figure out how to put u in!
Tabi: Of course I'm finishing! I love this fic! ::hugs it:: This is the best one I've written and gotten the most feedback! It's my lil star right now! ^_^ Look see I wrote more!
Bassoonbabe: Um.kay. The monkies are dead. And if you kill me many reviewers will hunt you down and kill you not cause they cherish me, they just want to know the ending.
And my friends too.
;;watches them glare at you;;
HEY CALM DOWN! She doesn't know where I live okay? Jeez..
But thanks for reviewing.I think.
And no Inu didn't deserve it, but do you really think he'd fight Naraku and NOT get seriously hurt. And with his demon blood he'd survive. Without it he's as good as dead. It's only logical. Depressing but logical.
::sigh::
animebaby08060: look I updated!
