Kagome sat up with a gasp and glanced around her bedroom. 'What… How?' Then she remembered the attack, and how Inuyasha had saved her. Who would have thought that such a spoiled, rich man would stoop to help someone? 'Maybe I misjudged him.' She lazily glanced at her clock and panicked, it was already noon. She dashed out of bed and into the kitchen. Hoping that she was not fired, she checked her messages, there were five, the first two were her mother calling to inform her of her brother's, Sota, upcoming birthday party. The third message was from Miroku telling her to hurry her ass to work before Sesshomaru finds out she was late. The bottom dropped out of her stomach as the next message played;
"Kagome, this is Sesshomaru. For failure to come to work and thus missing a very important meeting with a client you are fired."
His voice was perfectly calm as if her was calling to inquire about her health not dumping her out on the street. Kagome was near tears as the next message played;
"Kagome, this is Sesshomaru. It has come to my attention that you were held at gunpoint last night. You are no longer fired and have the day off. I expect to see you on time tomorrow."
Kagome fairly leaped for joy then stopped, considering, 'How did he know?'
Inuyasha was just passing his brothers office when he heard the words Kagome and fired. He flung open the door, "Sessh, stop!"
"Little brother, stop what," Sesshomaru looked none too happy at Inuyasha's abrupt entry.
"Don't fire Kagome," he yelled, "She was almost fucking shot last night, she would have been if I wasn't there."
Sesshomaru frowned, "I assume that the assailant is behind bars."
"Yes, damn it. How stupid do you think I am," Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at his brother who growled menacingly.
"Very well Inuyasha, your Kagome will still have her job," the youkai turned away from his brother, dismissing him. Inuyasha left grumbling incoherently about Kagome not being his.
The next morning Kagome was up before Sango and was on her way to work with double her usual coffee. She had a lot of catching up to do. She pulled into the parking lot around seven, before most of the firm. By nine she had filed one forth of the papers on her desk and had arranged for Shippo to come in around noon for a debriefing for the trial, which was in a week, and she had run out of coffee. Sighing she decided it was time for a break. Looking around she realized that the department had filled with the hustle and bustle of people hard at work. 'I did not even hear them come in.'
She passed Miroku on the way to the elevator and caught his forlorn look. She made her way over to him, "Hey Miroku, what's up?"
He sighed dramatically, "I have met the love of my life and she I don't know her name."
Kagome smiled and asked, "Where did you see her?"
"At the ancient artifact gallery, she works there," he smiled, "She has long brown hair and fantastic hazel eyes," he fairly started to drool, "She had the nicest ass I have ever felt."
"You know, the way to a women's heart is not threw her ass," she said and boarded an elevator, and almost ran strait into Inuyasha.
"We have to stop meeting like this," he said scowling.
Kagome flashed him an annoyed look and sighed, "Look, I'm glade I ran into you. I just wanted to thank you for your help."
He looked away, slightly embarrassed, "Keh, whatever. Its not like I had choice."
Kagome frowned at him, "You could have just accepted my thanks gracefully dog boy."
Inuyasha's ears twitched in annoyance and the elevator dinged open. Much to Kagome's surprise and Inuyasha's horror, a very fake blond Kikyo stood in the lobby smacking on gum in a mini skirt. She turned just in time to see his stricken look as he dove for the "close door" button. Kagome made no move to stop him. They both heard, a squealed, "Inu-baby!" Then the door closed. Inuyasha locked the elevator in relief.
"Damn she is really stocking you isn't she," Kagome glanced at her watch. It was already 10:30. "Ok, I have an hour before my meeting. How long will we be in here," she looked at him incredulously, "I cant believe your scared of her."
"I'm not," he said growling, "She just annoys the hell out of me and I really don't want to deal with her bull shit today."
"You can have her arrested, with the restraining order and all."
Inuyasha's golden eyes lit up, "That's right, I forgot." He grinned at her, "I herd from my brother about the fight you had with her. Care to have another? I wanna put this bitch away for good"
"It would be my pleasure. Even if it might be slightly illegal"
So, in order to foil Kikyo, Kagome and Inuyasha decided to put their differences aside and work together.
After his talk with Kagome, Miroku thought he would pay his love a visit. He arrived at the museum around 11 and marched up to the front desk and bought a ticket. He proceeded to the sword exhibit in hopes of spotting her. No such luck. He was just about to try the Egyptian exhibit when he heard a very familiar voice. He made his way towards it and entered a large room through a side door. He spotted her hovering over a large boomerang mumbling to her self. "Ah, so we meet again, my angel."
The woman gasped and spun. "Oh, its you," she said coldly.
"Indeed, my flower," he gave her his most charming smile, his eyes strayed momentarily to her ample bosom.
"I am not your anything Mr. Hoshi. Just call me Sango if you feel the need to address me," she turned back to her work, "This is a restricted aria. I have to ask you to leave."
"Of course, but may I ask one question," he looked so innocent that Sango almost agreed.
"No, now beat it."
"As you wish Lady Sango," he turned to leave, but stopped, "I was only going to inquire about a date."
Sango twitched slightly in surprise, she turned to watch his retreating form. 'A date?'
Kagome strode from the elevator and purposefully homed in on Kikyo, who, it seemed, was hiding behind a potted plant. Kagome marched right past her "accidentally" stumbling into the plant which in turn fell on Kikyo. Kikyo screamed, "You clumsy bitch!" and that was all the excuse Kagome needed.
"Watch yourself, you whore," Kagome ground out. Immediately Kikyo fell on her in a rage. Kagome fought back with a vengeance and soon had Kikyo at her mercy. 'All of those self defense classes are really coming in handy,' she thought as she pinned Kikyo to the floor.
Right on time Inuyasha made his entrance with Sesshomaru and five security guards. He nodded at her and she released Kikyo who tried once again to get at her when she spotted Inuyasha.
"Oh, Inu-baby, she attacked me," she simpered, "Protect me."
Inuyasha smiled triumphantly and said, "Kikyo, you are under arrest for trespassing, ignoring the restraining order, and assault."
Kikyo paled, "B…But Inu-baby."
"Don't call me that wench," he motioned for the guards to take her away, Sesshomaru followed Kikyo to make sure she was indeed charged.
"If I ever see her again it will be too soon," Inuyasha said watching them drag Kikyo away. Kagome nodded in agreement. They grinned at each other and laughed.
"The look on her face was priceless," wheezed Kagome, between giggles. She glanced at her watch, it was 11:30. "And I still have time to get ready to meet Shippo."
Inuyasha waved her off, still chuckling to himself.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their Reviews.
withdrawn: No Kikyo was realy nice when she was alive untill Naraku made her beleive that Inuyasha betrayed her, (now she exsists on vengfull hate) but I dont like her so I depickt her as mean.
