… I LOVE MY REVIEWERS:) Thanks guys, I dedicate this chapter to you guys! I'm hoping that this one will be just as funny!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha.

Okay, first off I didn't describe Kagome's dress cuz I want it to be a surprise! Secondly since I adore all my reviewers I decided to put a TINY hint as to what will happen in the next chapter at the bottom of this chapter. Thirdly I received over 50 reviews and to get it out by tonight I cannot take the time to respond to those. Sorry folks, my main goal right now is to get out as many chapters as I can, and right now I have break so I want to write as much as possible.

No new characters today, but there are a few adventures away from the office! Also this is a few pages shorter then normal cuz Friday is gonna be extra long! Remember Friday is the cocktail party, and Saturday is Kagome's last day as Sesshoumaru's assistant. HOWEVER there will be 8 chapters. Soooo here it is!

Heart Hacking

Thursday Trials

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes as he walked through the skyscraper, trying to get to his office. It felt like someone was watching him. As he walked past the elevators he heard some one talking and a pair of footsteps behind him. He whirled around and there was no one there. He paused for a moment before walking off, listening carefully.

"The Sesshoumaru, class type stupidicus-dorkus, cautiously makes his way toward his den."

"Kagome." Sesshoumaru thought as he glanced out of the very corner of his eye to see the bubbly girl pressing herself up against the wall as she held onto her pen like a microphone and chattered away.

"Watch him as he uses some distinct sort of langue, composed of mostly grunts and growls, to convey his message." The blue eyed girl said as she watched her employer with a cocked head.

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and growled as he faced the elevator, waiting for it to arrive.

"By golly we were just able to hear the territorial grunt of a Sesshoumaru!" Kagome cooed.

Sesshoumaru glared and resisted the temptation to reach out and strangle the sly girl as the elevator dinged and opened. Sesshoumaru stepped in and pressed the button causing Kagome to shout.

"Amazing! See how he has advanced enough to use his hands! Simply stunning folks!" She was cut off as the elevator door shut in her face. Sesshoumaru sighed in relief and waited until he reached 52nd floor.

The elevator door opened once more and Sesshoumaru hefted his briefcase over his shoulder as he walked down the hallway and retrieved his keys from his pocket. He fumbled with the key when there was suddenly a loud bellow behind him.

"How exciting! The stupidicus-dorkus has developed the use of tools! He is far more complex then I thought!" Kagome sweetly smiled at Sesshoumaru as he glowered at her. "Well that's all for now folks! Join me next time when we chase and hunt down the nerdous-geekicus, also called Naraku, and see if it has the strength to battle this fearsome Sesshoumaru! Until then I'm Kagome Higurashi, the CEO Hunter! Bye!" She said as she slipped her pen in her purse and ducked when Sesshoumaru threw his briefcase at her.

She scrambled into the office as quickly sat down in her chair as Sesshoumaru grabbed his abused briefcase and seated himself at his desk. Kagome had a sly smile pasted across her face as she hummed and set up her desk for the day.

Sesshoumaru rested his head on his desk as he watched his assistant pull various objects from her briefcase including some papers, a cupcake, a binder, and a rubber ducky.

Sesshoumaru raised a silvery eyebrow as Kagome squeezed the duck, causing him to making a whistling noise, as she raised and lowered her eyebrows. "Be careful, or the almighty and all powerful king ducky shall get you! Muwahaha!" She said as she threw the duck at him, bopping Sesshoumaru on the head.

Kagome froze, afraid that she would now pay for her joke, but Sesshoumaru blinked and continued to stare at her with glazed golden eyes. "Sesshoumaru? Are you okay?" She asked as she got up and walked over to his desk.

Sesshoumaru didn't respond and Kagome put a cool hand on his warm forehead. "You're a little hot… What's wrong?" She asked as Sesshoumaru hid his face in his arms.

"Headache." He mumbled as he raised his head to rub his temple.

Kagome watched her boss with thoughtful eyes. "Well, relax for now! I'll rearrange your schedule until you feel better!" She said with a smile as she returned to her desk to begin working.

Kagome happily typed away on the computer as she hummed a cheery tune and carefully watched Sesshoumaru out of the corner of her eye. He looked a little paler then usual, and for once he wasn't breathing down her neck about doing work. She was worried.

Instead he kept thumping his head on his desk, sometimes pausing to massage it before continuing on.

After about an hour Kagome paused and wheeled her chair over to her employer. She gently rubbed his back as she softly said. "That's not going to help it."

Sesshoumaru paused and turned to look at her with his amber eyes. She sighed as she stood and pushed back her chair before throwing off her shoes. She sat cross-legged on the floor and patted the spot in front of her.

Sesshoumaru wordlessly slid off of his chair and stared at her. Kagome shook her head, he was creepy when feeling unwell. She gently directed him until he was laying down with his head in her lap. She gently massaged his head as she surveyed the office.

There was no need for an exchange of words between the two of them, they knew each other like the back of their hands.

After twenty minutes Kagome had eased Sesshoumaru's pain enough so he was able to stand up and slump on his desk.

He fell fast asleep as Kagome ran her fingers through his hair, pulling it out of his face. After making sure that he was asleep Kagome scoffed. "This isn't fair! His hair is softer then mine!"

Sesshoumaru slowly opened a single eye. He glanced at a clock on the wall and nearly groaned. It said 10:30. Kagome was not in the room, she was most likely tracking down some poor unsuspecting person who would soon fall victim to one of her evil plots.

Sesshoumaru yawned as he stood and stretched. He glanced at his planner, Kagome had freed up his morning so it was open until he had his lunch with her. The girl herself was still no where to be seen.

Sesshoumaru smirked, his headache was gone and he was now able to think clearly. He was going to surprise Kagome Higurashi, oh yes indeed.

Five minutes later Kagome entered the office. Sesshoumaru was no longer at his desk but he had left a note on his computer.

Gone home for an hour.

Be back later.

Sesshoumaru

Kagome snorted as she threw the note in the trash. "Only Sesshoumaru could use such short incomplete sentences and get away with it. For his birthday I'm going to buy him a grammar book, or perhaps a book on how to improve penmanship. Oh! Or I could get him a cute kitten blanket! The choices, the choices! Oh well! Since Fluff Butt isn't here it's time to party!"

Kagome hopped over to her computer and clicked on the internet icon. To her surprise a message popped up.

Girl, even though I'm gone that doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want.

I want that Star Horizon paper done by the time I return! Or Else!

So no games until I'm back..

Sesshoumaru

"That little imp!" Kagome shouted. "He locked me out of the internet!" She screamed as she furiously clicked away at the icon on the screen. "I HATE YOU SESSHOUMARU!" She howled.

Sesshoumaru chuckled as he pulled up to Kagome's apartment complex. He knew she would explode once she found out that her precious internet was disconnected. He parked his car and walked toward the building. Now that he was finally seeing it in daylight he could tell that it wasn't a very classy place. The walls were cracked and the inside was rather crummy and smelled of mold.

Sesshoumaru glanced down at the key and held it up to the light. He couldn't exactly try opening every single door, but he had an idea.

Sesshoumaru glanced up and down the hallway before turning left. Every day he had dropped her off Sesshoumaru saw her go left before disappearing from view. He walked down the hallway as he opened his cell phone and dialed Kagome's home number. It rang several times and Sesshoumaru swiftly worked his way down the hallway, pausing at each door to listen for the ringing of the telephone.

He came to the last door when Kagome's loud, old answering machine came on. He could hear it from the depths of the apartment too. Sesshoumaru grinned and hung up before inserting the key in the lock and turning it.

He lightly pushed open the door as he prayed that Kagome kept her apartment cleaner then she did the desk. Sesshoumaru paused in the doorway, whatever he was expecting, this certainly wasn't it.

The apartment was old, decrepit, and seemed to crumble at Sesshoumaru's very presence. Random stuffed animals were scattered around, no surprise there, but the kitchen was uncomfortably bare with a minimal amount of food.

A TV that was smaller then his computer screen at work was perched on a box, and a broken couch sat in front of it. Everything was clean and orderly, but the quality of Kagome's possessions astounded Sesshoumaru. He knew his father paid her well, so what on earth was happening to her pay check?

Sesshoumaru gazed around, hoping something would shed some light on her current living state. Fortunately something did.

Sesshoumaru sat down on her couch and he spotted a letter sitting on the cushion next to him. With no small amount of guilt he slowly opened the letter. He knew this was being nosey of him, but Kagome was an igma he had thought he knew. Not to mention that she was his employee so he was responsible for her. Perhaps, deep, deep, deep, deep, down in his heart, he even cared for the girl.

A glance at the bottom of the letter told him that it was from the girl's mother.

Dear Kagome,

Hi sweetie! How are you? I wanted to thank you for the money you sent us, it helped a lot with the medical bills and Souta's college fund.

However, I am writing this because I want you to know honey that I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I have forced the burden of supporting all of us; I never wanted it to be this way Kagome. I have found a job as a secretary; hopefully it won't affect my back much, so you can start keeping some of your money.

Souta's fine. He and his girlfriend went to the park yesterday…

Sesshoumaru stopped there; he only wanted to know why Higurashi was living in these conditions.

"You have such a happy face Kagome." Sesshoumaru quietly said to the empty apartment. "Who would have known that beneath it you bear such a great responsibility." He said as he gazed around the apartment.

Kagome gazed around the corner before she ducked back, out of sight. "He might have taken away my internet rights, but he can't steal my imagination! Muwahahah!" Kagome thought as she rounded a corner.

"Time for the adventures of Kagome the computer hacker! Ba-ba-BUM!" Kagome whispered to herself as she darted down a hallway. She laughed evilly as she paused at Miroku's office. The pervert was out for now, most likely bothering some poor girl. "Perfect!" Kagome said with a smirk as she plopped down in his chair.

Five minutes later Kagome laughed as she ran out of Miroku's office and tore down the hallway, rushing into the elevator. She just barely missed Miroku who returned to his office as she disappeared down the hallway.

The programmer sat down at his desk, turned his attention to his computer, and screamed with girlish horror. A message had popped up and was blinking.

You have caught the Emogak virus. If your computer breaks we don't care!

Oh, and if the problem persists throw it out the window.

Miroku cringed and hit ok. He shut his eyes and then bravely opened them, his jaw dropping at what he saw.

It was a picture of Sesshoumaru sleeping with a stuffed animal cat clasped under his arm.

Kagome grinned as she attacked floor after floor, spreading the Emogak virus like wildfire. However Tashio caught her uploading it on to his computer, so for the better part of an hour she went down all the floors, fixing the computers she had infected.

Meanwhile Sesshoumaru tracked down his father.

Sesshoumaru nodded to Kagura as he walked out of the elevator and strode toward his father's office. Sesshoumaru had some things he wished to discuss, and all of them were centered on a certain blue eyed pixy.

"Father." Sesshoumaru said as entered the office. Tashio guilty glanced up as he shoved an entire creampuff in his mouth.

"Mmph?" Tashio asked.

Sesshoumaru cocked a silvery eyebrow as his father wiped his mouth and swallowed the desert.

"What?" Tashio repeated.

"I need to talk to you about Kagome?" Sesshoumaru solidly said.

Tashio laughed. "Oh, that virus? I wouldn't worry about it boy. She's fixing it already." Tashio nervously said; he was surprised his son was so calm about the whole matter. He thought he would be more violent.

"What?" Sesshoumaru asked; confusion laced through his voice. "What are you talking about? I want to ask you something about Kagome's family."

"Oh! Hah-hah! Well ask away!" The elder laughed.

"Why is she the sole provider?" Sesshoumaru questioned.

Tashio stopped laughing for once and gazed at his son with serious amber eyes. "Has Kagome talked to you about this?"

"No."

"Then it is none of your business, son."

"Kagome is my employee; she's made it my business." Sesshoumaru growled.

Tashio stared at his son before speaking. "Kagome has provided for her family for two years now. Her mother was injured in a car accident, permanently damaging her back. Her mother is unable to work normal shifts because of that, and since Kagome's grandfather is to old to make any sort of money, Kagome sends whatever she can."

"Why haven't you stepped in to help her family?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I've tried. Kagome is a stubborn girl, she knows that I over pay her already. Since I first met her she's refused any help I've offered." The older man said.

Sesshoumaru nodded and turned to leave.

"Sesshoumaru, don't bruise her pride. It's taking everything she's got to keep her family intact. Don't do anything brash." Tashio warned his son who turned around to nod before going.

Tashio shook his head as his eldest son disappeared. "Always stubborn. Poor Kagome has no idea what's coming to her."

Sesshoumaru stepped into his office and stared at the sight before him. Kagome, Shippo, Sango, and a quivering Naraku, were all playing twister.

Kagome reached over and flicked the board before calling out. "Left hand blue." She maneuvered her left hand onto a blue circle and snickered as she watched Shippo stretch himself out, his little hand barely touching the blue. Sesshoumaru shook his head; Shippo was going to get squashed if Kagome slipped.

Sango easily moved her hand to the blue section, and Sesshoumaru swore he could see Naraku's lips moving in a silent prayer as he inched his hand along the mat.

"Hard at work as always I see." Sesshoumaru elegantly sneered as he walked further into his office and set his briefcase down.

"Ah, so the great ego has return! How are you feeling now muffin?" Kagome called from the twister game.

"Much better sweetie." Seshoumaru informed her with a scoff as he walked over to the game and towered over the young lady.

"Oh good, now you'll be back to your crabby, frost bitten self." Kagome told him as she tossed her head.

"Indeed. And here is my first evil act of the day." Sesshoumaru told her as he bent over and gently touched her belly, tickling her.

Kagome collapsed with a laugh and Shippo jumped out of the way, smashing into Naraku who gave a high pitched yip before crashing on top of Sango's leg which gave out causing the girl to collapse.

"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome howled as she slowly stood, peeling herself off of the mat.

"Did you get that paper done?" Sesshoumaru asked as he strolled back over to his desk.

"Yes. It's sitting on your computer." Kagome told him as she slipped her shoes back on and waved good bye to her friends.

"Good." Sesshoumaru said as he picked it up and watched Kagome out of the corner of his eye as she folded up the mat and put the game away.

"You know you could say 'Good job Kagome' instead of just saying good." Kagome said as she sat down at her desk.

"That would require effort to remember your name." Sesshoumaru told her as he flipped through the papers.

Kagome's jaw dropped before she vengefully threw a stuffed animal at him. "You little ogre! I cannot believe you said that!" She said as she jumped up.

Sesshoumaru simply gave her a wolfish grin as he held up the stuffed cat in his hand.

"Don't you dare hurt Fergus." Kagome warned him as she sat back down.

"Fergus?"

"Yes Fergus."

"I question your naming ability."

"Shut up!"

"It is I who hold Fergus. You shut up."

Kagome huffed. "You know I think that this all stems from some aggression that you hold against me for being cooler then you!"

"Oh?" Sesshoumaru asked, his eyebrow cocking once again.

"Yes. You have stuffed animal envy."

"Oh yes that's so it." Sesshoumaru said as he rolled his eyes and pelted Kagome with the cat.

Kagome nodded wisely. "Yep. You know you really should see a counselor." She advised as she watched her employer who snorted. There was a long pause before Kagome spoke. "When are we gonna eat?"

Sesshoumaru threw the papers down. "You are driven solely by your stomach."

"I'm a growing girl!" Kagome protested.

"Mm. Growing horizontally perhaps." Sesshoumaru said.

Kagome glared. "You are mean! I'm going to get some food, without you!"

"Good for you."

"Humph!" Kagome said, sticking her nose up in the air as she glided out of the room. "Egotistical dork!" She muttered as she walked toward the elevator.

Sesshoumaru shook his head as he watched his assistant disappear down the hallway before he reached into his desk to reveal the Mcdonald's ™ take out bag.

Kagome was rubbing off on him.

Indiana Kag tore down the hallway, the precious 'Holy Grail' clutched in her hands. Finally, after years of research she had found it! The cup itself was rather plain, but in it was the remains of a brown liquid like substance.

She skidded to a halt as she came to a dead end. This was it; the monster of the temple was going to get her!

"I'm not going down without a fight!" Indiana Kag shouted before she raced off in a different direction. She glanced behind her and saw a huge ominous shadow following her, so she anxiously kicked a few large bricks, sending them flying behind her, hoping to distract the monster, before she continued on her way.

She had reached the bottom floor of the labyrinth and she grinned and increased her pace. She could almost see daylight now; the doors were just a few steps away! Indiana Kag would make it out of this alive yet! She hurried along as she could hear the loud thuds of the guardian beast, steadily pursuing her.

Sesshoumaru snaked an arm around Kagome's waist, bringing her to a screeching halt. "Kagome." He said as they both breathed heavily, tired from running around the building.

"Yeah?"

"Give me back my coffee cup." He ordered.

Kagome laughed and offered him the worn, blue mug. Sesshoumaru took it and walked away; hauling her after him with as much dignity as he could muster considering that almost the entire office building saw him running after her, yelling like a lunatic.

They slowly retreated back to the office, both of them huffing as they tried to regain their lost oxygen.

"That was good exercise!" Kagome chirped once they reached the office. "Let's do that again, someday." She hastily added after seeing Sesshoumaru's threatening gaze.

"You need help." The CEO said as he set the mug firmly down on his desk.

"And you need writing help." Kagome shot back as she stretched. "Ugh, I don't want to do any more work!" She groaned.

"To bad. You need to make up for all the goofing off you did today." Sesshoumaru said as he turned to his computer.

"Excuse me!" Kagome scoffed. "I wasn't the one who went home for an hour this morning!"

"Be quiet. I cannot concentrate when you babble in the background." Sesshoumaru ordered.

Kagome rolled her eyes as she too turned her attention to the computer and got to work.

Both of them worked diligently for the better part of an hour when Miroku strolled in, chuckling.

"Man Sesshoumaru, I'm surprised Kagome is in one piece after that prank she pulled this morning!" He said with a laugh.

"What are you talking about?" Sesshoumaru asked with a frown. "Come to think of it, father said something about Kagome sending everyone a virus." Sesshoumaru thought. "I'll have to have a talk with her about that."

Miroku laughed again as Kagome nervously said. "Miroku don't you have some girl you need to be bothering?"

Miroku snickered. "You mean no one told you?" He asked Sesshoumaru.

"No one told me what?" The CEO barked.

Miroku burst out laughing as he simply handed Sesshoumaru a copy of the picture that had appeared on everyone's screen, the one of the sleeping Sesshoumaru and the stuffed animal cat.

Sesshoumaru gazed at it before counting. "Five." He said as Kagome stood. "Four." He continued as she high tailed it out of the office. "Three." He called out as he stood up. "Two." He yelled as the elevator dinged. "One. KAGOME!"

In a flash he was down the hallway and chasing after his frantic secretary who was screaming. "Come on Sesshoumaru! Can't you take a little joke?"

She was free for two seconds more before he pounced and threw her over his shoulder as he stiffly walked back to the office. "OUT!" He thundered at Miroku who was still chuckling. The programmer did as he was told and Sesshoumaru set Kagome down in his own chair and glared at the girl, they were nose to nose, mere centimeters apart.

"Whatever possessed you to do that?" He demanded with a growl, Kagome looked a little worried. She had never made him this mad yet.

"It was a joke." She said in a soft voice.

"Don't do it again!" He snarled, his hard amber eyes burning with anger.

"Okay." Kagome said, her big blue eyes wide as she tried to lean away from him.

Sesshoumaru smirked and simply leaned closer in.

"Do not play with fire, Kagome." He warned, leaning even closer to her. "You'll get burned." He said as with a smirk.

Kagome uncomfortably glanced away, and the Sesshoumaru suddenly relaxed. He gazed at her as she returned the look, he wasn't so mad anymore. He shook his head and leaned in to gently kiss her forehead. He quickly stood and walked out of the office, calling over his shoulder. "I'm going to talk with Inu Yasha. You had better be working the entire time I'm gone." He said before walking out.

Kagome sat in his chair, shocked for the moment. She sighed as she leaned on his desk, rubbing her forehead with her hands. "Kagome what are you getting yourself into?" She asked out loud.

Only silence answered her.

Kagome snored loudly from her desk, gaining Sesshoumaru's attention. The CEO shook his head as he watched his secretary sleep, drooling on her desk. He glanced at the clock, it was now seven. He had forced her to stay after for goofing off all morning. It was actually because he had a few papers to do, and he decided that misery deserved company.

Sesshoumaru groaned as he stood and gathered his things. He quickly packed his briefcase and threw on his coat. He walked over to Kagome and gently nudged the sleeping girl.

"Just one more hour mom." The girl said with a snort as she smacked her lips.

Sesshoumaru nudged her again. "Kagome, wake up." He softly said.

Kagome's brow wrinkled before she hit him in the stomach. "Shut up Souta, I'm trying to sleep!" She muttered as Sesshoumaru coughed, the punch had been unexpected.

Afraid for his well being Sesshoumaru opted to change plans and instead picked her up bridal style and carried her down to the parking garage.

He carefully buckled her in before starting the car and slowly driving to her apartment. He knew that if he woke her up while he was driving at his normal speed the girl would either have a heart attack or scream so loud that it would shatter his ear drums.

Minutes later he pulled up to the apartment complex and quickly parked. He lifted her out of the car and carried her down the hallway, noticing that she was regaining some consciousness.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked as she snuggled closer to his chest.

"To your apartment. Where else would I take you, the mall?" He caustically questioned as he fumbled in his pocket for the key while holding her up.

"You don't know which one is mine." She confidently said as she clutched the collar of his suit coat.

"Oh contraire." Sesshoumaru said as he found the key, inserted it, and opened the door.

Kagome opened her eyes. "What?" She asked as Sesshoumaru confidently walked toward her bedroom. "You've been in here! You pervert!" She said as she halfheartedly beat him on the chest before yawning. "I should kick your butt up and down the street." She tiredly said as Sesshoumaru lifted the sheets and slipped her under them.

"You can do that tomorrow. Just don't kick to hard, remember we do have that cocktail party we must attend." He said as he tucked the blankets under her.

"Mm I won't. You'll get just a bruise or two." She said with a girlish yawn.

"Good night Kagome." Sesshoumaru said with a smile.

"Night Sesshoumaru." The girl said as she turned over, falling fast asleep.

Sesshoumaru quickly exited the apartment, locking the door behind him, while he prayed that she had set her alarm for the next morning.

He quickly returned to his apartment, got changed and also went to bed, reminding himself that he had to send it early tomorrow morning so it was there by the time Kagome woke up.

And that's it! Like I said, it's three pages less then usual, sorry, my apologies… But the next chapter is going to be SUPER LONG!

Sorry it's two days late, I tried uploading it last night but Fanfiction wouldn't let me log on. Sorry for the delay!

Oh yes! Here is a half hint as to what will be happening each day.

Friday: work in the morning as usual, Kagome leaves early to get ready for the cocktail party. At the party there is a… fight if you want to call it that. Kikyo get's bashed some more. Some fluff between Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

Saturday: They both go to work for half of the day, Koga is also there, and Sesshoumaru finds out about Kagome's strange fetish for cats named octopus.

Sunday: They do see and talk with each other… This is a VERY short chapter, will probably be about 7ish pages, but that is because they only see each other for part of the morning, lunch, and then a little of the afternoon. I'll try to make it as big as possible, but I'm not sure how much I'll have them do.

Monday: This is the epilog. I can't say much about it because This day and Sunday are pretty top secret! Muwahah! Till then!

Thank you all my WONDERFUL reviewers! If need me for any reason just look up my email! Thanks for reading!
