Disclaimer: first few chapters...
Hi everyone. Thanks for all of the great reviews... I know you are all curious what pairings are in this story so I guess I should tell you. Most likely it will be a Sesshomaru x Kagome pairing...it's my favorite with the Inu Yasha characters. At least that's what it is leaning towards without the story being a never-ending story... Anyways, I hope you like this chapter and I'll try to update soon. Keep reviewing! ~Yuki
Chapter 6: Welcome to Takamada International, Kagome! ~*~7:30 AM, Wednesday Morning~*~
Sesshomaru fixed his tie in the body length mirror in the hallway. "Kagome, hurry up. I"ve got a meeting this morning, remember? It wouldn't look good if the CEO of the company was late to his own meeting," Sesshomaru called out to her.
"I know! I know!" Kagome shouted back as she came out of her new room dressed in a black skirt, a black blazer with a pink blouse underneath. Her hair was pulled back into a loose bun and she had inch and a half heels on her black shoes.
Sesshomaru looked over at her and his jaw dropped. Beautiful... Kagome had a compact in her hand as she touched up her makeup and saw Sesshomaru's reflection in the mirror...he was staring at her. She smirked and shut the compact. "Are you okay, Sesshomaru, because your jaw looks like it's about to fall off," Kagome giggled as she walked over to him. Sesshomaru closed his mouth and straightened up as she grabbed his tie and started fixing it.
"I believe this Sesshomaru can do something as simple as tying a tie," Sesshomaru stated, half joking.
Kagome looked up at him and smirked. "Well now...this is the Sesshomaru I know and love," Kagome sid sarcastically and walked to the kitchen, pouring coffee into her travel coffee mug. Sesshomaru tensed at her remark. He really didn't like the old him, but he also didn't want to change the old him. If he did, then he might've never met Kagome, or Rin, or even accepted his brother. "Sesshomaru, did you want coffee?"
Sesshomaru snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. "My travel mug is in the dishwasher," He told her as he walked into his study to grab his briefcase. When he came back, Kagome wasgathering her coat and purse. She picked up her mug and Sesshomaru grabbed his. "Let's go."
They walked out hte door and hurried to Sesshomaru's car.
They arrived at work at 8 AM on the dot. Inu Yasha watched them get off the elevator and ran out of his office. "Kagome!" He suddenly heard someone shout and before he could blink, Shippo was all over her. Inu Yasha sighed and made his way, slowly over to the little crowd that had formed.
Kagome stepped out of the elevator with Sesshomaru and gasped. "Wow..." She said with surprise. Suddenly, Sesshomaru froze, sensing someone running towards the. He smiled when he realized who it was. "Kagome!!!" They heard someone shout.
Kagome looked in front of her, since she was looking all around and saw someone running towards her. In a blink of an eye, Kagome felt someone collide with her forcing her to stumble backwards. Sesshomaru smiled and caught her, steadying her onto her feet. She looked back at him and thanked him silently. He nodded back and cleared his throat to get the attention of the one clinging to his assistant.
Kagome watched as the person pried themselves away from her. She saw auburn hair and her eyes started to widen. No way...it can't be... Just then, the person straightened up and smiled down at her. "Hey Kagome. I"m sorry for my rudeness," Shippo said softly. "I guess I was just..."
Kagome stared at the young man before her. The once, little kitsune pup that she had taken care of back in Sengoku Jidai now looked like a stunning young man. "Shippo!" Kagome squealed causing Sesshomaru to wince at the squeal because of his sensitive ears. Shippo smiled as Kagome threw her arms around him and hugged her tightly. Both youkai caught the scent of tears and noticed it was coming from Kagome.
"Aww...Kagome, don't cry, please?" Shippo pleaded as his eyes started to water. "Because...you're going to make me cry..."
Within moments, Shippo broke down into tears and Sesshomaru rolled his eyes at the lack of control the kitsune showed, after the many years of training he had put the pup through. Oh well...I guess I could let this go since he hasn't seen his mother figure in 500 years... Then he noticed Inu Yasha smiling to his right. "Looks like this is a happy little reunion," Inu Yasha said with a smile.
Kagome and Shippo separated and wiped the tears away from their eyes. "Inu Yasha...hi," Kagome said with a smile.
"Are you okay, Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked referring tot he engagement. Kagome nodded. Inu Yasha smiled and decided to get to business. "Well then, welcome to the executive floor of Takamada International. Hardly anyone is allowed up here."
"Yeah, the only offices up here are Sesshomaru's, Inu Yasha's, mine, and yours," Shippo chimed in. Kagome's eyes widened.
"This whole floor is for four people?!?" Kagome exclaimed. Shippo and his superiors nodded.
"Sesshomaru and I actually have our own bedrooms here and there's a kitchen too, just in case we are working late," Inu Yasha explained.
"Oh," Kagome said. Dang!
Sesshomaru smiled at her shock and started walking to one of the offices. "Follow me, Kagome. I'll show you to your office," Sesshomaru said and he led the way for all of them. Sesshomaru opened one of the doors and stepped in. It was a nice-sized office with a large desk, new computer, phone, and everything she needed. Behind her desk and to the left was a door. "This is your office, and the one through that door is mine."
"Wow. This is really nice," Kagome said with surprise as she walked around and looked at everything while the three men watched her with smiles on each of their faces. Inu Yasha had the biggest smile on his face. I haven't seen her smile like that in 500 years...I've missed her so much... "Oh my god! This view is amazing!"
Inu Yasha returned to reality and saw her staring out the window. He had to admit, the view from each of their offices were amazing. "So you like it?" Shippo asked her. Kagome turned and ran over, hugging each of them.
"Of course I love it," She said happily.
"Good. Now, Shippo will help you settle in and tell you what needs to be done today. Inu Yasha, you and I have to get downstairs for the meeting," Sesshomaru informed her.
"Okay," Kagome said.
"We'll be done by lunchtime. When we get back, both of you be ready to go to lunch," Sesshomaru added as he turned and walked back to the elevator. When he got there, he saw Inu Yasha still in the doorway. "Inu Yasha, come on."
Inu yasha nodded. He instantly turned to Kagome and hugged her. "It's good to have you back," he whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek. Kagome's cheeks instantly turned red as she watched him leave with his older brother.
"Inu Yasha really has changed, hasn't he, Kagome?" Shippo pointed out. Kagome nodded. "He really missed you, and surprisingly, Sesshomaru did too."
Kagome turned to Shippo with surprise when he mentioned Sesshomaru's name. The ice prince missed me...? Well...he did say all that really sweet stuff to me a few nights ago... God, he's changed so much! "Kagome?" Shippo asked when he realized she was spacing out. Kagome came back from within her mind and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Shippo, were you talking?" Kagome asked him. Shippo shook his head and perked up.
"Well...let's get started!" Shippo said cheerfully. Kagome nodded and followed him around, learning everything she possibly could to do her job.
