Chapter 3: Meeting

Kagome pushed open the door to find herself standing in the doorway of a beautiful yet ancient looking office. Shelves of books covered two walls of the office along with a door sitting in between two shelves. The wall in front of Kagome was a large window that fell from the ceiling straight to the floor. White curtains hung gently from the top, softly blowing back and forth. Kagome guess that a smaller window on the bottom was open letting a wind come in.

A beautiful wood desk sat in front of the window. Papers littered the desk, but not in a disorganized way. They littered the desk in folders, cases, and stacks. A computer sat on the corner, and a lamp that wasn't turned on. But what caught Kagome's attention was the man that sat behind the desk slowly going through a stack of papers.

He had silver hair yet he didn't look old. It seemed to look like it was pulled back in a ponytail, and Kagome suddenly itched to feel it and run it through her fingers. Pushing the thought from her head she cleared her throat to announce her presence.

The man behind the desk, Kagome now realized had to be Mr. Sesshomaru her boss, looked up. Golden eyes stared at Kagome, eyes that were to golden; it was unnatural yet it looked so real on his body.

"Ms. Summers is it?" Kagome's boss asked in a deep soothing voice. Kagome almost melted on the spot right there. The voice was so beautiful.

Nodding Kagome watched as he got up and walked around his desk. Kagome widened her eyes at his body. It was so built. His suit brought out the best in his body. As he walked towards Kagome she could see the ponytail swing slightly from side to side down his back. Hands behind his back Mr. Sesshomaru made his way to Kagome slowly.

"Well Ms. Summers I am glad you have found your way here alright. Am I correct?" He asked again in that soft yet powerful voice. Kagome nodded and looked away from those piercing golden eyes. Nodding in acknowledgment Mr. Sesshomaru pointed to two chairs to their right. Kagome got the hint and she walked over to one of them and sat down quietly.

"Tell me more about yourself Ms. Summers. That is, more then what I have read on your application and recommendations." He sat back and waited, studying the young girl.

He noticed that she fidgeted grasping her hands hard. Her scent picked up and he smelt suddenly throughout her whole body that she was nervous. (A/N: He is still youkai just so you know!) Her long black hair that spilled across her shoulders framed her creamy face. Gentle sapphire eyes shot around quickly giving off a major sign that she was really nervous and uncomfortable. Though sitting in the chair Sesshomaru liked how her body curved in the right areas. Isn't this Inuyasha's woman? Didn't she die? He wondered curiously. Thinking on it he decided to ask his insolent brother later.

"Ms. Summers you don't have to be nervous, I am not going to hurt you." Mr. Sesshomaru said, causing her eyes to look anxiously up at him.

She seemed to relax a bit, but Sesshomaru knew that it was only natural for her to be a little afraid. "Um, I'm 16, but you probably knew that already."

Mr. Sesshomaru nodded, but didn't say anything so she continued; "I'm very hard worker if you must know. I'm always here on time and can work overtime if you wish of me."

Mr. Sesshomaru held up his hand as to stop Kagome. "No, no Ms. Summers tell me more about yourself. For example your favorite food, color, places to go. How you like to work, like in what kind of environment."

Kagome shifted slightly in her seat and looked to the ground. "I like the color pink and blue. My favorite food would have to be noodles and teriyaki. I like to go to the movies, and absolutely love the beach!"

Sesshomaru saw her look up and flash a pretty smile. For a second he liked how she looked when she smiled. Sesshomaru stop that! You are a youkai; even in the new times you will not lower yourself to this level. He thought to himself. Making a face at his inner conscience, he saw Kagome's smile disappear when she looked to him.

"Sorry Ms. Summers continue." He said bringing his mask back into place.

Kagome nodded silently, "I can work in any environment, but I sometimes tend to like to work in a place where I feel comfortable. A place not to dark, but not to light, a place where I feel at home." She looked back up at him, and he slowly nodded.

"Well Ms. Summers I think you will like it here at FI, we like to make the offices as homely as possible. May I call you Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.

Kagome paused but said yes, "May I call you Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru nodded, "Yes, now your office is right over there." He pointed to a door to their left. It was the door that sat in between the two shelves. "You will find everything you could need in the shelves, cabinets, and drawers. You have a portable laptop also because of travel you will be doing."

Kagome looked up confused "Travel?"

"Yes, I am a busy man Kagome. I travel often, and as you are my assistant you will be going with me. That reminds me I have been asked to a charity ball. You will be accompanying me. It is formal, do you have anything to wear?" Sesshomaru asked.

Kagome thought hard for a moment and then slowly nodded, "Yes I believe I do."

"Good, now you may go anywhere in the building except the rooms that say 'private', understand?" Sesshomaru asked standing.

Kagome looked up at him, and wondered curiously why she couldn't. Pushing it aside she nodded.

"Excellent, I am not strict on when you take breaks as long as the work is done at the end of the day." He turned towards his desk again and Kagome stood following.

Sitting once more in his large leather black chair Sesshomaru said, "Now I'm sure you would wish to go to your office am I correct?"

Kagome nodded, "Yes Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru raised his hand and pointed to the door. "By all means, there might be a lunch meeting today so if that is true I will come for you."

Kagome bowed and walked to the door to her side. Opening the door she stole a glance at Sesshomaru but he was already looking out the window thoughtfully. Closing the door softly behind her she gasped. Her office was almost as big as Sesshomaru. A neat desk sat in to her right. On it sat a box, Kagome walked over to it setting down her purse on the comfy looking chair. Peering inside she saw various items of CD ROMs for her laptop. Looking to the right of the box was a large leather case. Kagome guessed it was the laptop. Opening the box she lifted out the laptop. Then one by one Kagome installed all the programs she wanted to in the box. Time passed by as she surfed the Internet and organized her office. She didn't know how fast time flew until a knock sounded on her door.

Kagome startled went to her door wondering who it could be. She opened it and there stood Sesshomaru. He had his jacket threw over his shoulders, holding it casually he looked down at Kagome.

"It seems that the meeting is over lunch are you coming?" He asked.

Kagome stood stunned and then turned to grab her jacket. She closed her office behind her and walked beside Sesshomaru as they walked towards the exit and across the street to the parking garage. Kagome looked around and wondered to herself which car Sesshomaru would drive. They walked for a few minutes and Sesshomaru stole small glances at his assistant. She seemed to be purposely avoiding looking at him. Her head hung low to the ground, and she kept her gaze constantly to her right.

Sesshomaru pulled out his car keys and touched a button. Kagome saw a small Mercedes Benz backlights blink and Sesshomaru beckoned for Kagome to follow him to the car. Opening the passenger side door she took a quick breath and slowly sat down into the comfy seat.

Sensing that Kagome was tense just as she was this morning he started the car and said, "It gets better then this Kagome, you'll be riding in limos by the end of the week."

He almost smiled when he felt Kagome's nerves shoot through the ceiling. "You know Kagome you don't have to be so nervous around me."

For the first time sense they had gotten into the car she looked to him, "Sorry Sesshomaru, it's just well, first day on the job and I'm a little nervous."

Sesshomaru knew it was more then just that. He could feel her hormones also. He could feel the heat coming from her body and if he hadn't had such control over his instincts, he might have taken her right then and there. But Sesshomaru knew better he would never take a human. Even if he lived a life of loneliness he would not drop that low. There had to be some youkai out there somewhere. There has to be! Sesshomaru told himself for what was probably the thousandth time.

As Sesshomaru stopped at a red light he looked over to Kagome. She had her elbow up on the cars windowsill, her hand resting under her chin; she looked to be admiring the scene. "Kagome?"

She quickly looked to him and he could sense her heart beat faster. "Yes?"

Sesshomaru looked deep into her sapphire eyes mesmerized for a split second, "Do you like seafood?"

Kagome looked down disappointed, but for what she didn't know. "Yes I do why do you ask?"

"Because we are going to one of the most expensive ones in town, right on the coast. It over looks the bay." Sesshomaru said waiting for Kagome's reaction.

She turned to look at him her eyes shining, "Really? It over looks the bay. Wow! That must be gorgeous."

Sesshomaru slightly smirked, "Yes it is."

They pulled up to the entrance of the restaurant and Sesshomaru handed the keys to his car to the vale driver. Kagome couldn't help but smile at the idea of her ever actually stepping foot into one of these places. But here she was actually doing it. Sesshomaru smirked more when he sensed Kagome excited, and it in turn started to excite him. Calm it down Sesshomaru; she's just amazed at this place. He told himself again. But the feeling he felt from Kagome was itching to make him smile, something he tried very hard to ever do.

They were escorted to the back of the restaurant and Kagome could see through the windows the crystal clear bay. She smiled more when she saw that they were headed to a seat where for sure she would be able to see the bay more clearly. As they walked around the corner she gasped.

She was right their seat did have a beautiful view. Sesshomaru pulled a chair back for Kagome and she lightly blushed at the action from him. As Sesshomaru sat in his seat he wondered why he had just done that, especially for her. He was going to think more about it but a cool, deep voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah, Sesshomaru this is a first usually I am here before you." It said.

Kagome felt a sudden chill spread over her body, and an unfamiliar fear bubbled in her heart. She turned her head to see who it was and she widened her eyes. A tall, lean man stood behind her, one hand in his pant pocket he smiled a cold smile to Sesshomaru. Dark long hair fell over his shoulders and down his back.

Just like Sesshomaru, only he wears it back. Kagome thought for a moment. The mans eyes fell onto Kagome and she thought she saw hate flicker across them for one brief moment.

"Yes we came a little earlier then usual, but it seems to not corrupt our lunch now did it, Onigumi?" Sesshomaru asked as Onigumi gladly took the seat at the end of the table.

Sesshomaru glanced across the table at Kagome to see if she remembered anything about Onigumi or Naraku. After all she had died saving Rin from a blast sent by Naraku. That was when Inuyasha had gone crazy and had killed Naraku, and disappeared. Over the years Sesshomaru had seen his brother occasionally but he seemed to be in a big mess with himself. So Sesshomaru had given Inuyasha the job of taking care of his other building in Kyoto. For the past year it seemed to have calmed Inuyasha down, but now with Kagome back he wondered how he would take it.

"No it has not Sesshomaru." Onigumi said.

He looked over at Kagome and so badly wanted to curl his lip in disgust. He knew this human. Onigumi had been reborn a hundred years ago, and all memories returned. He knew what Kagome had done; even though technically it was Inuyasha's fault this human had always been the cause of everything. Onigumi knew in his past life he had gone by the name Naraku, and something about the Shikon no Tama was mixed in with Naraku. Onigumi had researched and found out that the Shikon no Tama had been created by a miko and it held the power to grant one wish. Onigumi had been very interested in this, but he had found out that the jewel had disappeared some 500 years ago. Legends say it had been burned with the miko's body who had finally completed the jewel after it had been broken into a million pieces. Others say it had been wished upon, then it was said that the hands of a miko had destroyed the jewel. Onigumi wished for the first legend to be true, if it was then maybe Kagome had been reborn with the jewel like she had been 500 years ago after Kikyo had been burned with it. (A/N: Confusing huh? Explain a bottom)

"Onigumi meet Kagome, my new assistant." Sesshomaru said nodding to Kagome.

Onigumi smiled a forceful smile at Kagome, "Hello Kagome it is nice to meet you."

Kagome smiled back not liking this man one bit, "The same to you Onigumi."

He nodded and looked to Sesshomaru again. They immediately were engaged in a conversation Kagome tried to listen too. But she couldn't; Kagome kept drifting off into her thoughts. As she watched the many waves crash against the rock bottom below she could help but wonder why she suddenly felt like a big dark cloud was suddenly threatening from above. Kagome suddenly got the feeling something bad was going to happen, something terrible; only problem was she didn't know what it was or when it was coming.

A/N: MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I like this story I have like this major plot in my head and I think you will like very much!! LOL I'm so proud of myself! Okay I bet a lot of you are confused on the whole Onigumi coming back and Inuyasha too. And like where's the jewel!! Read chapter one again and you'll get it! Okay here is the timeline that I think will help you. But lets get one thing straight! The time Sesshomaru and Kagome are in now is the original Feudal Era 500 year in the future. So that would make it the same time as when Kagome would go back through the well to her real time in the show. Get it? If not oh well.

The timeline is going from when the time in the story above was the feudal ear in the show.

1450 F.E (Feudal Era): Kikyo is burned with the jewel.

1500 F.E (Around that time): Kagome is born with the jewel in her and she crosses through by the well. She finds Inuyasha and they start their search for the pieces of the jewel. (The show? Duh)

1502 F.E (Around that time): Kagome dies and the completed jewel is burned. The jewel has disappeared.

2002 F.E (Still the feudal ear because Kagome never died in her real time and she is reborn in the feudal era): Sesshomaru meets Kagome and here they are now.

Anyone lost? Because I said that when Kagome was buried and the jewel burned, she was re born in the same time (Feudal Era) 500 years later. So Inuyasha is still there, Sesshomaru too, but Naraku has been killed 500 years ago! Okay wow! If you think about it and remember that Kagome was killed, buried, and reborn in the Feudal Era I think you will get it! Now for responses!
