Once again, thanks for reviewing to Lady-In-PiNk, 2lazy2login (love that name:P), Kagome Higurashi, Eris Goddess of Chaos, jess, hanyou908, darrenlee, moonglow gal, Glorfindel Silverleaf, lil'gome, Don't eat yellow snow (what the hell?:D), white-Angel1215, and Roxy Foxy.
Its really so encouraging and it made me feel so loved:):) I love you all:):) So, I decided to write the next chapter.
Okay, this is quite long. I was originally going to split it into two chapters, but people have been asking me to make my chapters longer. So, voila.
Disclaimer: I don't own it!!! But neither does anyone else reading this, unless you ARE actually Rumiko Takahashi, in which case I would be honoured that you're reading my humble story!!
DEMONS, DATES, AND DEAD MIROKUS.
By midday, Kagome was desperate for a chance to get out the kitchens to 'accidentally' bump into Sango. All morning she had been stirring soup for the 2000 employees, and nodding to Hojo as he talked continuously.
Luckily, her chance to sneak out came after lunch.
"Hey, new girl." The head chef told Kagome. "The employees will come down to the hall to eat lunch, but the managers prefer to eat in their offices. Can you take this up to Inuyasha's office? Don't drop it or you'll be in trouble. New boy, take this to Miroku, please."
'Whoa, am I lucky or what?' Kagome thought. 'Now I can actually check out the secret office myself!"
"Hojo?" Kagome asked innocently. "Do you want me to take up Miroku's lunch aswell? It seems silly for both of us to go up. And you look like you need a break."
"Are you sure, Kagome?" Hojo asked. "Thankyou so much! I was wondering, would you like to watch a movie this Saturday-"
"What was that, Hojo?" Kagome asked, balancing the trays. "I'll talk to you when I've dropped these trays off!"
Sighing, Kagome climbed the stairs. "Well done, Kag." She told herself. "You got out of that date expertly."
Kagome was about to walk into Miroku's office, when something, or someone came crashing out of the door, a livid expression on their face. Kagome knew that face well.
"Sango? Are you alright?" Kagome quickly realised that Miroku was listening to them. 'Complete strangers.' She reminded herself. "Uh...it is Sango, isn't it? You were at the entrance this morning. You're new today, aren't you?"
Sango put on a false smile. "Yes, I remember well. Nice to meet you, Miss. Koishikawa."
"Oh, just call me Kagome. I thought you got a job in the cleaning department?"
"I did, until Miroku decided he wanted me as his personal secretary."
"Oh, that's wonderful! Nice to have met you, but I must give Miroku his lunch." 'Well done Sango!' Kagome thought. 'You've managed to get yourself free access to one of the secret offices! So why are you so angry?'
Kagome walked into Miroku's office, only to be greeted by a swirly- eyed, half concious Miroku, with a large bandage round his head.
Sensibly, Kagome realised that Sango must have her reasons for half killing her new boss, so decided to keep her distance. She set the tray down in the corner of the room, and hurried out.
"Sango, could you please help me take this tray to Inuyasha? It would be nice to talk to you more."
Once they were out of Miroku's earshot, Kagome dropped the 'complete strangers' act and turned on Sango.
"Sango, would you CARE to tell me why Miroku is half DEAD on your first day? Was the point of coming here to get outselves FIRED? Oh, but well done on becoming his secretary."
"Excuse me? Kag, the guy is a complete pervert! I can't work for two seconds without monitoring his hands! And now I've got to be his SECRETARY?"
"He didn't do anything to me!"
"That's because you were sensible enough not to go near him!"
"Sango! You must keep your temper in check!"
"Kag, I'm sure there's a law against sexual harrassment in the workplace!" Sango retorted.
"I'm sure there's a law against actual bodily harm in the workplace!"
Sango couldn't think of a reply to this one. "Heh...well...at least we got over the stranger act thing. We can now talk to each other in front of Miroku, 'cause he thinks we've become friends. Where is Inuyasha's office?"
Kagome and Sango froze as they heard loud voices coming from one of the rooms. As they became closer to the noise, they realised the voices were coming from Inuyasha's office.
Kagome stiffened as she detected an evil aura coming from the room. Even in all her FBI training, she had never come across such a large amount of demonic power. There was something seriously dangerous in that room.
She edged closer, hoping to catch what they were saying. However, much to her annoyance, the voices fell silent as she approached. 'Damn'. Kagome swore. 'I forgot about demon hearing.'
She knocked hesitantly. "Inuyasha, sir, here is your lunch."
The door opened to reveal Inuyasha and another man. The man had long, black hair and was wearing white fur.
"What is this? This is impossible! How can Kikyo be here?" The man yelled.
"This is not Kikyo! This is my new employee!" Inuyasha yelled back.
Completely and utterly confused, Kagome smiled politely and handed the tray to Inuyasha.
"I didn't realise you two knew each other." Inuyasha said, spotting Sango.
"Oh, no, I've only just met Miss. Koishikawa." Sango said instantly. "It was nice to meet you, Kagome." Sango smiled and backed out of the room, disappearing into the corridor. The other man glared at Kagome and strode through the door, shoving her out the way.
He sniffed the air as he passed Kagome. "Well, you did look suspiciously similar to Kikyo...but it seems not..."
"Naraku! You can't run away!" Inuyasha shouted after him. Naraku strode into the hall, violently grabbing Kagome's arm.
Naraku checked Inuyasha wasn't listening, before hissing: "Watch your back, Kagome." He stormed off.
Normally, Kagome would have liked to inspect Inuyasha's room more closely, but now she had to follow Naraku. She turned and raced along the corridor, catching a glimpse of him turning into a lift. Naraku swiped an ID card into the lift and pressed the "Sixth Floor" button. He was going to the forbidden top floor.
Kagome sighed. At least the whole conversation had been recorded on her hidden microphone.
"Seen anything of interest?" A voice came from behind him.
Kagome whirled round to become face-to-face with Inuyasha. 'Shit.' She cursed to herself.
"I was just making my way to the kitchens, sir." She smiled innocently.
"Feh. Like hell you were."
"I'm sorry?" Kagome questioned.
"Listen, new wench, you're obviously not quite accustomed to us yet, but I thought I told you about nosing around?"
"Uh...yeah..." She changed tact. "I'm very sorry, sir, it won't happen again." Kagome said, trying to look as innocent as possible.
Surprisingly, Inuyasha softened. "What did you say your name was, wench?"
"Kagome, sir. Kagome Koishikawa."
He paused for a moment, before stiffening. "Strange, you look very similar to her...I can see it was an easy mistake for Naraku to make...but no..."
"Uh...sorry, sir, I don't know what you're talking about." Kagome said.
Inuyasha sniffed, and his ears twitched. An emotion flashed in his eyes for a brief second, then vanished.
"Uh...Inuyasha, sir?" Kagome asked tentatively. "When that man left your office...when he dragged me into the hall...he whispered something to me, that...uh...I couldn't catch. Is he an employee?"
Inuyasha looked angrily. "So Naraku spoke to you, wench?"
"Yes."
Inuyasha paused. "Feh. Naraku speaking to a human...you'd better watch your back, Kagome."
