Chapter Two

Kagome was off to work, she wasn't supposed to meet Inuyasha until 3:00 as it said on the note Kagura gave her. She was on her way up to the elevator and pressed '13' until someone stopped the elevator to get in. It was Inuyasha! He pressed the button '13' and he saw that it already lit up.

"So, you're going to level 13, too?" Inuyasha asked Kagome since they were the only one's in the elevator at the time.

"Yeah." She responded. Then the elevator stopped again and a whole crowd got in, pushing Inuyasha and Kagome closer together. Kagome didn't even realize that she was that close to him because she was so deep in thought.' He doesn't even recognize me?' she thought. Then the elevator ring and everyone got off at level 13.

She left immediately through the lobby and through the doors and past all the cubicles to her desk. Inuyasha went to the front desk in the lobby.

"May I help you?" the secretary asked him.

"Yes, I'm looking for the person I hired." Inuyasha said and gave her Kagome's name.

"Ahh, yes, go through those doors and go straight past the cubicles and down the halls and it'll be the first door on your right." the secretary pointed at the glass double-door. He walked until he found the door what had the name 'Kagome Higurashi' on it. 'Hmm, nice name' he thought and knocked on the glass door. The door had the type of glass that was blurred and so was the wall that went down the hallway and the same for the other rooms. The hallway was very bright and was quite wide, also.

"Come in" Kagome said through the door loud enough for Inuyasha to hear it. He walked through the door and had a shocked expression that quickly faded away, "Yes? How can I help you?"

He was just staring at her.' Damn she's beautiful.' Inuyasha thought.

"Hello?" 'Why is he staring at me? Like he's interested or something... wait, why am I even thinking about that jerk!?' Kagome thought.

He shook his head from the thought, "Yes, well, I you were supposed to meet me at my restaurant today at 3:00 but I'm afraid I have to cancel. Can I reschedule?" He asked her while sitting down at on a seat in front of the desk.

She was standing up holding some papers in her hand, "Of course, when would be most convenient for you?"

"Actually, it's only the time that's not good for me, today if fine, can we have the meeting at 5 or 6?"

Kagome looked through her palm pilot and then looked up at him."5:00's fine with me."

"Ok, thank you Mrs. Higurashi." he shook her hand.

"Actually, it's Ms. Higurashi."

'Wow, he really doesn't remember me...' Kagome thought.

"Oh, well, thank you anyway." he left and took off towards his apartment.

Miroku, his roommate was standing outside waiting for him." Ready to go?"

"Go where?" Inuyasha asked and was interrupted when he say Kikyo, his ex- girlfriend turn the corner.

"Inuyasha!" Kikyo screamed with joy from the corner of the street.

Miroku whispered to him, "I thought you broke up with her..."

"I did, "Inuyasha whispered back.

Kikyo was right in front of them now, "Hey, do you guys have any plans?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, we do." Inuyasha said annoyingly at her.

"Well, FINE! I'll catch up with you guys later." Kikyo said then left.

"That didn't seem so much as breaking up." Miroku said.

"Well, I broke up with her for the last time a week ago when I decided to open this restaurant. She thought it was a horrible idea but it kinda what I wanted to do for a living. We have been going on and off and it's definitely off this time."

"And I don't think she gets it."

"She's kinda slow. Hey, when am I going to meet this great girlfriend of yours?"

"Soon but, she thinks I'm perverted."

"Imagine that..."Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Well where did you meet her?"

"Where I worked, at the department store, she was buying some perfume and then we went out twice. Not such a bad start if you want a relationship. But you would know all about that wouldn't you?"

"Ha ha, very funny, let's just go to the movies and be here before that financer woman gets here at 5."

"What's her name again?"

"Kagome Higurashi. Sheesh, if you want to work fulltime as a chef here, you gotta remember people's names'"

They went to the movies and got back at 4:30 and waited for Kagome to arrive.
