Ren: So.......still going to try to fight me on this?

Miroku: But you kidnapped me!

Ren: That's all technicalities. Besides, if you tell them the year you were born they will just think you're crazy.

Miroku: Then at least I will be away from you and surrounded by caring nurses.

Ren: You actually want to go to a nut house?

Miroku: Well I'm already in one! A different one can't be any worse than this!

Ren: OK, you can go.

Miroku: Really?

Ren: Sure. I'll make sure you have a nurse check in on you every hour.

Miroku: Wonderful! I'm free!!!

Ren: Mind you if they think you are dangerous it will be a male nurse............

Chapter 3.

Hell Hath No Fury

Kouga and Houjo looked at each other in surprise.

"You know my woman?" "You know Higurashi?"

""How?""

Mizuki-san arched her eyebrow and turned a questioning glance towards the young woman who was currently massaging her temples while trying hard to ignore her companion.

"I didn't know you got around that much Kagome-chan," Miroku quipped while smirking at Kagome. The girl in question shot a deathly glare at Miroku and aimed a swipe at his head.

"Miroku!!! Ecchi!!" Luckily he jumped back in time with practiced ease.

"now now Kagome-chan, how could you take an innocent comment like mine and warp it in that manner. Have you no shame? Insinuating that in front of our new clients."

Kagome finally realized she had an audience. Oh yes, Kami-sama you really hate me today don't you. Why me? "Ehehhheh........gomen nasai. Um...bonjour Monsieur Yamainu et Monsieur Houjo. Bienvenue. Votre voyage étés aimable?"

"Oui Mademoiselle Higurashi."

"Ah, oui. Très aimable. Mais, mon jour est d'autant plus ave toi."

"Merci, Monsieur Kouga. Si vous moi suivriez, nous commencerons l'assemblée."

Kouga and Houjo gathered their briefcases and headed to the door.

"It was a pleasure meeting you two."

"And you Mizuki-san," Kouga replied while taking Mizuki-san's hand and kissing it. The action and smile he sent her way were enough to cause a blush to spread on her cheeks. Kagome rolled her eyes while Miroku stared in awe. "Why I never..." Kagome's elbow in his gut cut Miroku's statement short. "Good day." Houjo shook Mizuki-san's hand headed to the door with Kouga.

Miroku looked down at Kagome. "I thought you couldn't really speak French."

"It's just like riding a bike. I'm just a little out of practice but haven't forgotten everything."

"I can think of several other things that...."

"Finish that statement and you won't be having offspring."

"Ehehehe...hai."

Oh yes it was quite a wonderful afternoon for Kagome. She lead Houjo and Kouga around the office and introduced them to several other employees. Alas, though, Kouga still believed Kagome was "his woman." Let the torture begin.

"So...Kagome, when are you going to sell your place here?" Kouga looked at the young woman with a wolfish grin. The trio had decided to speak in Japanese from now on, much to Kagome's relief. She didn't know if she would be able to keep up with the two Frenchmen in conversation.

Kagome jerked to a stop. What the hell? Sell my place...... "Kouga-kun, what do you mean sell my place?"

"Well, aren't you going to come back to France with me? You are still my woman so I thought we could get back together and head back to Paris after everything was settled here. Is there a problem with that?" Kouga gave the woman an innocent smile. Miroku fought to keep in fought to keep in his laughter. The shocked look on Kagome's face was priceless. Oh I wish I had a camera..........this will be good.

"Higurashi, what is he talking about?" Houjo had stopped his conversation with the employee his was talking to. He gazed at Kagome with a confused expression.

"Yes Kagome," Miroku added with a grin, "what is going on here?"

"What's going on here? Didn't she tell you she's my fiancée?"

Kagome slapped her forehead and moaned. Can this guy be anymore dense? She glared at the businessman. "Kouga-kun! We are NOT engaged! We are not even DATING!!!"

He looked at her confusedly. "But I proposed. The wedding has been all planned out. All we need is a date. What are you talking about Kagome?"

"You planned our wedding?!?!?!?! I said no and left to come back to Japan! Was that not a clear enough message that we were not getting married much less still dating?" Kagome was shocked. Sure Kouga was obsessed with her and didn't usually take no as an answer but she had thought she made herself clear when she left for Japan the next day.

"You've been proposed to? Wow, and here I thought you wouldn't let a man get within 100 yards of you with any of those attentions. You've been holding out on me!"

"Higurashi, but I thought we had something together?"

"Two men at once?!?!?! Kagome, I'm appalled." Miroku with a disappointed look said as he crossed his arms and shook his head.

"Miroku shut up! You are not helping matters!" Kagome shouted. By now, the whole floor was paying attention to the small group. Afternoon soaps had nothing on real life drama.

Kagome sighed and look sadly at Houjo. Might as well deal with the easiest first. "Houjo-kun, you are the nicest and sweetest guy I've known. But, well....you could never be anything but a good friend to me. I'm sorry if you thought differently."

"That's right. She's my woman so of course nothing will ever happen between you two."

"Kouga! Stop calling me your woman! I am NOT YOUR WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome turned around and stormed down the hallway to the elevators. Honestly, men are IDIOTS!!!! Why I always find the dense ones? She punched the button for the bottom floor and waited for the door to open. As the doors opened, she saw her superior coming out of the other elevator.

"Where are you going without the two gentlemen from Youkai Incorporated? You are supposed to make them feel welcomed. Tomorrow is the meeting with the CEOs of the Japanese branch." Mizuki gave her a hard glance as she stepped onto the elevator.

"Mizuki-san, I'm leaving early. I'm afraid if I don't someone will end up hurt and will not be attending the meeting tomorrow. Goodbye. Miroku can handle things from here. Besides, he's fluent in French."

"Wait what? That is not one of the languages on his record."

Kagome smiled evilly at Miroku who was staring at her in shock. Miroku started to wave his hands back and forth and mouth the word no over and over.

Hmm....payback's a bitch my friend. The elevators began to close as Kagome said, "No, it's not. He learned it last year when he tried to pick up some French model. Ja ne!"

Kagome smirked at her reflection in the mirrored elevators. She should go back to her desk and get her briefcase out of the small safe under her desk, but she had another one at home and it would take too long. Miroku would find a way to corner her before then. Ah well, I'll face him in the morning. I've got my keys in my pocket so no need to bother tempting fate. I need a long hot bath. It's been a long day and I have a feeling tomorrow will be worse.

Kagome stepped off the elevator and smiled to the security guard at the front desk.

"Sayonara Higurashi-san! Have a good night and see you in the morning!"

"Sayonara Allen-san!" She called back as she pushed open the glass doors and turned towards the busy streets of downtown Tokyo.

"Iie!!!!!!!!!!!! Not more rain! My station's a block away!!!"

Ah, yes. Kami-sama was not done having fun yet. No, not by far.

Miroku: Male nurses?!?!?!?! No way!!!!!!!! I'd much rather stay here.

Ren: Aww.....I'm touched! ::glomps Miroku:: If you are good I will buy you a nice mattress to sleep on. Off course it won't fit in here. Maybe Jess can fit it in her room...

Miroku: NO!!!!!!!!! Not Jess' room! I will continue to sleep on the floor. It's fine, perfectly fine.....not too hard...no need to buy a mattress......ehehehehe.

Ren: Ok. Saves me money. Anyways, remember to review! Oh and Rashy, I am expecting a cookie since I finally updated. Hopefully the next chapter will be up much sooner. Gomen nasai minna-san! Oh, and Juanes kicks major booty. It's thanks to his CD Un Dia Normal I finally finished this chapter.

Next Chapter: Deux chiens blancs méchant- hmm...who are the CEOs of the Japanese company? If you have no clue who they are.....I pity you.
