Chapter Two
A Normal Day At Work…Sort Of
Disclaimer: I no own; you no sue!
It took Kagome an hour to get to work that day. It didn't look like her day would be looking up either. Kagome walked into her office with her briefcase in her left hand, her pocket book on her shoulder, and her right hand combing through her hair.
She walked into the golden elevator and pressed the button that had fifteen printed on it. She tapped her foot impatiently as the corny elevator music played softly. She bit her lip as she look at her watch. Damn it she was really late.
Finally the doors opened and Kagome briskly walked into the lobby with a fountain, soda and snack machine, and plotted green plants and red chairs. She opened the door to her offices that also lead into Keade's office. She sat down at her large wooden desk and signed onto her computer. As the computer loaded she opened her briefcase and carefully took the papers and other items in there that she would need for the day.
She checked her emails to find out that she had 4 emails. One was from Sango, titled 'Dinner Plans'; the other two were from junk mail. Didn't they put up firewall or a flitter or something that would block crap mail? The last one was from her boss, telling her that she wanted to see her as soon as she came in. Not wanting to get in trouble, she stood up from her desk and walked to the clouded glass door that had Keade Sahara CEO in big block letters.
She pushed open the door quietly. Keade was on the phone with someone, who by the looks of it was giving her a hard time, and motioned for her to sit down. Kagome obeyed the silent command and sat in one of the black leather seats in front of the desk.
Keade finished up her phone conversation shortly after Kagome arrived. She took a seat in the bigger leather chair behind her glass top desk, sighing heavily. She rubber her temples, train to ease the pain in her head.
"That man can be such a baby sometimes." Kagome stifled a laugh behind her hand. Keade looked up at her annoyed. "I wouldn't be laughing child, you will have to deal with him soon enough."
Kagome's giggled stopped and her eyes grew serious. "What, may I ask, are you talking about?"
"As you know, our former President of the Company is leaving us. We needed a knew President for the company, and as I saw that no else saw fit to do the job from this company as well as our former president I decided to hire someone to take the place.
His name is InuYasha Ryu. His father is a good friend of mine and when I was talking to him he gave me InuYasha's resume, his was the only one that met our expectations and Badda-Bing-Badda boom! We have a new president, a loud arrogant, but an excellent one nonetheless." She explained. Kagome was silent for a few minutes, trying to take everything in.
"Okay, so this InuYasha guy is going to be the new president, but what does this have to do with me?" she asked, now a little afraid of what the answer might be.
"You come into this because you are being promoted to the President's personal secretary." Keade said happily. Kagome's mouth dropped open.
"Are you serious?" she asked not believing her ears. Didn't Keade just basically tell her that this guy was a loud and arrogant jerk?
"Yes I am dead serious, Kagome. You start tomorrow." She stood up, cueing Kagome to do the same. "Congratulations Ms. Higurashi!" Keade took Kagome's hand in her own and shook it.
"Thank you Mrs. Sahara." She thanked Keade, still a little dumbfounded. Kagome walked to the glass door to leave. Her hand was on the doorknob when Keade stopped her.
"Oh Kagome, a word of advice on your new job." Kagome turned to look at, willing to accept any information that might help her live through this new job. "I would stock up on aspirin if I were you. You are going to need it."
"Thanks Keade." Kagome replied cheerfully. She walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. "Thanks a lot." She muttered darkly under her breath as she went back to her desk.

Kagome took a sip of her soda as she listened to her best friend Sango talk. This was probably her favorite thing about work: sitting in the café across the street for the tall building she works in, and eating with her best friend.
"So basically," Sango started as she finished swallowing her burger, "you are stuck with a total shallow, loud jackass for a boss and there is no way out of it?" Kagome sighed and let her head fall on the glass table.
"Yea, basically." She sighed.
"To bad Kag. It really sucks for you."
Kagome sighed heavily. "Thanks for looking on the bright side for me!" She picked her head up and grinned wickedly. "On happier note, how's Miroku?" Kagome laughed as she ducked the fry that was aimed at her face.
"I don't believe that that is any of your business." Sango huffed as she crossed her arms under her chest.
"Since I am the pathetic single best friend it is my business!" argued Kagome. She smiled at Sango, who couldn't help but laugh.
"You've got the pathetic part down pat!" It was then her turn to duck air-born French fry.

Kagome and Sang walked into the office laughing about the guy in the lobby that tripped over a potted plant and caused a woman walking with a large stack of papers in her hands to fall into the fountain, when she heard someone screaming in the copy room.
"Again?! How hard can it be to make ONE copy of that file?" screamed a man behind the door. Curiosity getting the better of the young women, they opened the door. They greeted by piles and piles of papers that seemed to be coming out the copy machine. Over by the said machine were two men. One was tall with black hair tied in a short ponytail and the other was shorter than the other one, only coming up to this chest. The smaller one had orange hair.
The two men turned to look at the girls who were giggling uncontrollably at the door. Neither of them had to guest what happened. A blush grew on the short male's face as he reached behind his head and scratched it.
He laughed nervously as she said, "H-Hey guys!"
"Shippo, what did you do!?" laughed Kagome.
"I…um…sort of…broke the copy machine."
"Again!" exclaimed Sango.
"'Sort of'? You 'sort of' broke the machine! You destroyed it! This is the fifth copy machine that we had to replace because of you!" cried Miroku.
'Actually, it's the sixth." Shippo said a matter of factly, which only caused him to get a bump on the head. Yep, this was a typical day at work for Kagome.

Kagome123456789: Thanks for pointing that out. Yea well since my computer crashed and all I didn't have Word on there yet so I was using this Word Pad thing that comes with the computer and it didn't have spell check or grammar check on it so I had to do that all by myself and I am not very good at it…how I got all A in language I will never know. I think it was because I wrote good and never talked during class. lol.
