Yeah, here's the chapter I promised ya'll. I don't really know if I'll be able to get it out tonight though. Guess we'll wait and see!! But it's coming out lata than I thought though. My sorry ass brother decided that I had to do the dishes. And it was a mountain!! So that took me forever.

I really think that I have become a reviewing monster. I really like this story come on!!

Sonera27- yeah!! Thanks for agreeing to help me! And I want to hear your ideas!!! ::pouts:: and yeah Sesshoumaru IS a hard name to type!!

Just peachy- no, Hope is NOT kikyou. If I do put her in here she's going to be bad *mind whirling, thoughts processing* that's not a bad idea... yeah I thought it was weird to have those pairings too, but that's why I did it. Yeah I would like to have longer chapters but my mom would then suspect. She thinks I am doing homework ^-^

Interactions--------------------------------------------

She pouted as Sesshoumaru walked out of the door to go to his work. She rolled off the couch and spread out eagle on the floor. She sighed, time to get ready for her own normal job.

She got up slowly and took a quick shower. When she got out she put a limited amount of make-up on, she really didn't need any. Mascara, eye liner, and a faint glossy pink lipstick. She put on a baby blue woman's suit (the skirt kind) and pumps that complemented her hair. She grabbed her purse and keys, twisting her still damp hair and clipping it as she did do. She was about to walk out the door when she noticed that Sesshou had left his briefcase.

She bit her lip. It was kind of an informal agreement between the two that this was not a public relationship. They each had their own reasons. 'But he probably will need it,' she concluded. Realizing that she didn't even know exactly where he worked (A/N ok she is not a slut. It's just like this because it needs to fit my story. Besides, Sesshou was her first. But never mind that will become clear lata.) she picked the lock and opened it. Resisting the urge to read the documents inside she just looked on the top sheet looking for a logo or something. Her eyes widened. "He's the owner or Youki Enterprises!" she screeched. (A/N or what ever demon is in Japanese. I am to lazy right now to search for it.)

She daintily put her hand over her heart. "I had no idea that I was dating, like, a billionaire." She checked the clock on the wall to see if she had enough time to drop it off before her own hours started. She did. Hope worked as a secretary for the CEO of Model Behavior, a great agency if she said so herself.

Hope called the elevator and pushed the button to go to the basement. Once she arrived she climbed into her silver (*insert car here*) and rolled down her window to finish drying her hair.

After much cursing and threatening, Hope finally got a parking space a few blocks away from her destination. As she walked the rest of the way there she ignored the many stares of men. She walked in the sliding glass doors and looked up as the reached the marble floors. Her breath caught. The ceiling was high and had murals of the Greek gods and goddesses. Inside it seemed it was a forest there were so many trees and plants. She timidly made her way to the security desk.

"Excuse me," she asked trying not to reveal her awe, "I need to return this briefcase to..." Now that she thought about it he never told her his last name. "Mr. Tai." she ended using her deep pit of knowledge to come up with it. (A/N I meant to use their father's name but I don't know what it is. TELL ME!) To her complete surprise the security man just grinned at her widely and motioned her over to the elevator. Hope sweat dropped. For all they knew she could be carrying a bomb.

While she was thinking this she didn't notice the guard pick up the phone and call upstairs. "Yep it's her...What do you mean who?... the woman the boss has been seeing...no you idiot Sesshoumaru...yes I am sure, she's wearing green tea perfume."

Hope stepped out of the elevator only to have every single employee stare at her as though they were judging her. She didn't like it. She shot them all disapproving glares and asked the nearest worker where Mr. Tai's office was. He pointed down at the other end and she proudly marched down the aisle, immune to the whispers. As soon as she reached Sesshouaru's office door everyone burst into giggles. She turned around. Now everyone was pretending to be working. She turned back around when she heard voices coming from inside the office with her heightened hearing.

"Soooooo...we all know that you would never be able to snag a cute woman with your social skills so I assume you're sleeping with an old hag."

She grinned to herself. She'd show whoever that was, and with that last thought she walked through the door.

Sango----------------------------------------

A gorgeous model walked through the door. Unnatural pink hair that seems to fit her perfectly was twisted elegantly at the nape of her neck. A professional suit hugged her body. She stepped through the doorway and bowed as if apologizing for interrupting. The woman looked-up as though analyzing everything in front of her: the desk, wallpaper, paintings, Inu- Yasha's, Shippou's, and mine expressions (my position for that matter.) and finally Mr. Tai's face. She giggled and proceeded to walk to the desk. Am I crazy or was this person hiding a growing smirk?

Snapped out of my daze I watched Inu-Yasha's glaze. He was drooling. The woman reached the desk and stood now on Mr. Tai's left. I finally realize that she is holding Mr. Tai's briefcase in one hand, her purse in another. 'How'd she get that?' I questioned myself.

The woman smiled broadly, "My name is Hope Lane, it's a pleasure to meet you all." (A/N you can tell I am American) She turned to my boss. "You left this." She handed over the case, pecked him on the cheek, and strolled back out the door.

Normal... or whatever---------------------------------

"She's hot!" cried Inu-Yasha after Hope left. "Where'd you get her? More important how?"

Sesshou growled. "I think it's time to return to business," he commented trying to change the subject.

Sango returned to her seat, a dazed expression on her face. Then she came back to life as she hit Inu-Yasha casually on the head for that newest comment. Sesshoumaru in turn pretended not to notice and gathered his papers. The meeting was about to start. The meeting that would decide whether people will die or not, and whether revenge for past sins was worth the risk.

End for now---------------------------------------

Yeah I know I ended it kinda lamely but I have other stuff to do... like homework.

Next time you'll find out the reason the Tashitas have laid low in waiting for the past 12 years. And why they're so eager for their own revenge!!!!

Reviews are much appreciated. Thanks to those who all ready have. It means a lot to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow!
