I have am making a small change in the story. I honestly dunno why on
Kami's green earth I put Naraku and Sango together in the beginning. temporary lapse in better judgement Anyway, one of the reviews I got for this pointed out that it was indeed 'NOT GOOD' and I couldn't agree more. So those of you who are diehard Miroku/Sango fans....they will be together
hopefully ;-) I wonder what Naraku will do?
Chapter 5
"Broken Hearted"
Kagome had managed to get an appointment with a bank earlier that morning. She waited patiently for the application to be reviewed. Already this week she'd completed 3 although the first 2 were turned down. She went in braced for another rejection. But still refused to loose faith. Glancing around she took in the simple elegance and intimidation that defined the office she occupied. The 'click' of the door behind her brought her attention back to the task at hand. Turning she tried to read his face. Nondescript. She would have never guessed. 'Business ethics 101 : Must wear stone mask' she suppressed the laugh.
The gentleman she had talked with finally cleared his throat piercing the silent. "We will be able to grant the loan as well as an additional 5,000.00, now we will need to sign the papers today in order to process the papers and have the funds for you by the weeks end" Kagome beamed. Still overcome with joy she shakily stretched her hand out to shake the hand of the man who had single-handedly saved her family's heritage.
"Oh, thank you Mr. Sukakin" he took her hand and smiled gently...."We look forward to serving your needs here at Tukyo Financial and hope to continue to do so in the future" he continued.
Kagome's heart soared, today she had been saved. All her worries, fears and anxieties that had plagued her over the last several months were suddenly washed away. The next step was getting the actual work done but at least now she had the funds to do so. And with the extra amount she was given she would be able to get the current bills and taxes caught up. Nothing could rain on her parade. She was on cloud 9.
When Kagome reached work she found a heartbroken Sango lurking in the break- room. "Sango, what's wrong? Is it Naraku?" She asked. Sango started crying harder. Kagome comforted her friend as best she could. She had always worried about Sango getting hurt. Naraku was a good guy, but he wasn't the right guy for Sango. His preferences leaned towards the more 'aggressive' women. You know the kind, even fully dressed you damn near get a free view. "She works with him, he said she's shown him he's not ready to settle down right now" Sango explained through her tears. "Kikyo or something, according to what I was able to find out from the other girls that work there she's slept with everyone outside of the mail room" "Kikyo?" Kagome wondered if it was her cousin....it sure sounded like her. It was rumored she only graduated because she seduced half of her teachers. What dirty old man would turn down a teenage girl throwing herself at them for a higher grade. The price was right and they got through enjoyment out of the deal. As if her silent question was heard Sango explained further. "Actually she looks a lot like you!" Kagome saw the pain in Sango's eyes when she looked at her. Kagome was at a loss, this morning had started out on such a high note. Now in a matter of moments it plummeted to rock bottom. Her best friend, the only sister she'd ever known was heartbroken. And Kagome was friends with the one who committed the crime. "Listen, I'll talk to Naraku today when I get a chance, see if I can get inside his head and find out what's going on ok?" Kagome hoped it would ease her friend at least for the moment. Although Naraku would not be happy when she got her say. This was uncalled for. And she was taking it personally.
Naraku had nearly begged for Kagome to help him get a date with Sango. She'd was dating a boy at the time she'd been dating off and on. Naraku promised her best friend the moon and stars. He swept her off her feet the first night. Sango thought that was what she wanted and dumped her part- time boyfriend to be by Naraku's side. Kagome never met him the old beau. According to Sango he was sweet enough but had a problem with Russian hands and Roman fingers. Real lecher so to speak. Seemed Sango's preference in men left something to be desired. After a few muffled whimpers, Sango dried her eyes and tossed out a brightest fake smile she could muster. Kagome hugged her tight. "Lets rock and roll this place whatta ya say?" Sango nodded and rose to her feet. The two were soon bouncing down the halls trying to put the days problems behind them and focus on work.
Kagome was ready to rip Naraku's head off and shove it down his throat. "Say your goodbyes to your ass Naraku, you ain't gonna like our next meeting" Kagome muttered under her breath after leaving Sango.
Inuyasha was hunched over his desk going over the last details of the merger. Miroku was on a personal errand for his boss who was patiently waiting for the pervert to waddle back into his office. Waddle meaning he would either be limping or staggering from a head injury. Never failed when the man went anywhere near the secretarial pool he nursed a ice pack for a few days afterwards. "Baka can't seem to learn" he grumbled. Inuyasha hadn't been down there for the last week or so. As he understood it there were a few 'sweet' little numbers ripe for the picking. Miroku had surely attempted to reap the harvest. A knock at the door brought him out of his thoughts. "Brother, are you done yet with those contracts? We need to have the deal complete before 5, that means we are waiting on you!" Sess stated with cold scolding tone. "Yeah, Yeah, almost done.......here, signed sealed and delivered" he tossed the folder to the corner of his desk closest to his older brother. Sess grabbed it and left without another word. Inuyasha watched his brothers retreating back ..."Ass!"
Before Inuyasha had a chance to blink Miroku was bounding through the door screaming something about 'coincidences and fate' "What the hell are you talking about? Did the ladies team up down there and rattle your brain?" He asked the man struggling for air. Miroku plopped down in the chair holding up his finger requesting a moment to recover. Once he did he began rattling off his news. "Shewalkedrightintoyourhands" "Speak a language, any language, something I can understand" Inuyasha growled "I said! She walked right into your hands" "Oh really?...how so?" Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched. "She was approved for a loan through Tukyo Financial" "You don't say?" The silver haired man spun around facing the large window over looking the city. "Well then claiming my prize won't be as difficult as I thought" he smirked....before spinning back to face the confused eye of his employee. "Make sure you get all the information regarding the loan, I want a copy of EVERYTHING they have on her loan. Including the her drivers licence information and work number....and if possible I want it yesterday" "On it" with that Miroku was out the door 'this can't be good' he said to himself. Before he headed to his own office to play detective for his friend. 'There's got to be an easier way to earn a paycheck' he though.
Kagome had just finished talking with Naraku. They were to meet tonight for dinner. He wasn't surprised to know she wanted to discuss Sango. But he did not sound remorseful either. That bothered her, and made her angry. Sango had been so upset she left work early leaving Kagome to wonder if she would truly be alright. Mentally noting to herself to stop by Sango's after her meeting with Naraku she made her way to the break room to clock out.
The drive home was quiet, traffic wasn't to awful bad. She had enough time to relax before showering for her dinner with Naraku. At least they would be going somewhere more or less casual so she didn't have to take extra time to prepare. When she pulled up to her home there was a unmistakable car sitting in her drive. She slowed to a stop a few feet away. Gathering her things she exited her car. Her eyes locked with her visitor........
Author sleepy....oh....soooooo sleepy. Yawwwwwwwnnnnnn damn maxwell
