Heart Hacking
Friday Flight
Kagome moaned as the door bell to her apartment rang. "Leave me alone!" She muttered as she covered her head with the pillow. However the noise persisted and Kagome slowly got up and rolled out of bed. She threw on her bath robe and walked to the door, with great pains, and slowly opened the door with half shut eyes. "What do you want?" She snarled.
The poor, unsuspecting delivery man cringed upon seeing the frumpy haired girl and quickly handed her a package. "I need your signature." He said with a quivering voice as Kagome crossly scribbled her name on the clip board before slamming the door with a great amount of satisfaction.
"Take that! No one can wake me up except for my alarm clock!" She muttered as she collapsed on the creaking couch before she wearily eyed the package. Her curiosity got the better of her and she examined the label.
"Sesshoumaru Tsaiga. ECK! You gotta be kidding me, this is probably a bomb!" She yelped, tempted to throw it across the room. When she moved to do so there was a faint trickling noise. Kagome paused and shrugged. "Curiosity killed the cat. Besides if he kills me he'll have to go without having an assistant, heaven forbid that!" She said as she rolled her eyes and ripped open the brown package.
Inside was a white box, and Kagome opened that too. Under a great deal of white tissue paper was two more white boxes, one that was about the size of her hand, and the other that was quite a bit bigger.
Kagome opened the smaller one first and her mouth dropped open. "This could only mean-" She paused and ripped open the second package. "Yep." She thought as she gazed at the contents with surprise. The first box was the container for a set of beautiful diamond earrings. The earrings were star shaped studs and were outlined in silver, perfect for her dress.
The content of the second box was a beautiful diamond necklace. There were three diamonds; all set in silver, and the largest was in the center with the two smaller diamonds on either side. Upon gazing into the center diamond you could see several beautiful white feathers drifting downward. It was obviously a master piece that had cost a lot of money.
Kagome gazed at the jewelry for some time before she dug through the original package to make sure that she hadn't missed anything. Upon doing so she discovered a small slip of paper.
Higurashi,
Here's some suitable trinkets for you to wear to the party tonight. You can BORROW them for now.
You had better show up to work on time.
Sesshoumaru.
"Trinkets? He calls these things trinkets?" Kagome yelled to her empty apartment. Kagome paused and reread the note. "Oh shoot… WORK!" Kagome glanced up at the clock and paled. It was 7:40, she had twenty minutes to get ready, eat, and walk to work.
She quickly put the necklace and earrings away before she threw on some clothes, fixed her hair, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and snatched an apple to eat before galloping out the doorway and down the street.
"He's going to kill me!" Kagome groaned around her apple as she raced down the busy streets.
Sesshoumaru gazed at the clock with amber colored eyes. "Higurashi." He growled. "You are treading on thin ice." He said to an empty room. His assistant was now six minutes and twenty eight seconds late. Not that he was counting or anything.
Sesshoumaru stood and walked to the door and slowly pushed it open to see Kagome barreling down the hallway. Kagome, who was not watching the path in front of her, solidly smacked into Sesshoumaru and was sent flying off her feet. She landed with a solid thud and cringed as she rolled off her side and gazed at her briefcase that had been sent flying.
"What a wonderful day." She grumpily said as she turned her blue eyes to the ceiling and proceeded to stare at the lights. "I love waking up late, getting run over by buses, and getting knocked off my feet. It's so much fun." She said as Sesshoumaru's gold eyes swam into view.
He simply offered her a hand and she groaned before taking it and allowed him to haul her to her feet. She rubbed her throbbing head as she reclaimed her briefcase and walked into the office.
"Bad day?" He smoothly asked.
"You have no idea." Kagome retorted as she dropped her briefcase on her desk and collapsed.
Sesshoumaru glanced over at his assistant as he returned to his seat. She was slumped over in her chair and was trying to crack her back. He couldn't help but wonder what sort of pranks she was going to be pulling today. One thing was for sure; around Kagome you were never bored.
After staring into space for a few minutes Kagome grumbled and opened her briefcase, getting to work.
Satisfied with this Sesshoumaru stood and exited the office.
"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome called after him. The CEO continued to disappear down the hallway. "Sesshoumaru, what do you want me to do?" She yelled. Only silence responded and Kagome cursed her wretched employer before the phone rang.
With a sigh Kagome picked it up. "Tashio Inc, This is Sesshoumaru's office, Kagome speaking."
"Hi! This is Pegasus Rider and I'm here to give you a great offer on some Inu Yasha dvds!" Said a chirpy voice at the other end of the line.
"Inu Yasha? Never heard of it… although I do know a guy named Inu Yasha." Kagome thoughtfully added.
"Oh… Really? Um, How about some Fruits Basket dvds then?"
"I already have all four." Kagome said as she inspected her nails.
"Aw phooey."
"…"
"So. What's up with you, I believe you said your name was Kagome."
Kagome groaned. "I work for the most evil man on earth."
"Ahh. That's rough."
"You're telling me."
Sesshoumaru walked back to his office thirty minutes later and stared at what he saw. Kagome was on the phone, pouring her heart out to some telephone marketer who was on the speaker phone.
"He's so horrible." She hiccupped. "I bet he was born as a cynical short little man."
"You poor thing." The telephone marketer soothed. "It must be very painful."
"It is." Kagome assured her new found friend.
Sesshoumaru scowled and stalked over to his desk where he picked up the phone. "Who is this?" He demanded as Kagome blew her nose, very, very loudly.
"Pegasus Rider!" A happy voice cooed.
"You!" Sesshoumaru yelled. "Why are you calling here!"
"I'm trying to get rid of some Inu Yasha dvds. Do you happen to want any?"
Sesshoumaru frowned. "Why don't you go bug your editor?" He suggested before slamming the phone on its cradle.
"Who was that?" Kagome asked as she put her hair up in a pony tail.
"Pegasus Rider. She's a jobless writer who also happens to be related to my cousin's daughter's friend. Or so she's told me. Stupid girl." He muttered under his breath.
Kagome shrugged. It didn't matter what snowflake thought of 'Pegasus Rider'. What mattered was the new evil tactics that the writer had advised Kagome to use.
Kagome stretched, the gleam was back in her azure colored eyes. "I'll be right back." She announced before walking out.
Sesshoumaru tensed. When Kagome got that look in her eyes it meant two things. One, Sesshoumaru was in for a long day, and two, he would most likely be made into a fool in process.
Kagome practically skipped down the hallway, giddy with the new evil plans that had been passed on to her. All she need was the help of the local nerd. As she ran to the elevator she passed Koga who was on his way to Sesshoumaru's office.
"Hey babe." He said with a wicked grin.
Kagome paused. "You know, some where you are depriving a village of their idiot." She said before prancing into the elevator and choosing the 48th floor.
Koga blinked, not comprehending the joke that had been told at his expense, and watched Kagome disappear from view. "Thanks!" He said to empty air, his reply to late for the bubbling girl.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and shifted them around the room. Once again someone was watching him.
Click
There it was, a barely audible clicking sound. It had been bothering Sesshoumaru for the better part of an hour.
"Where is that girl?" Sesshoumaru thought as he scowled, tempted to run around and scream like a madman.
Click
"That's it." Sesshoumaru said as he threw down the paper he was looking at. "Kagome, stop hiding and get out here." He ordered.
Silence filled his ears as he stood, his amber eyes flicking back and forth as he gazed around the room for the creator of the sound.
…Click
Sesshoumaru saw a silver glint at the corner of the doors of his office and he slowly crept toward them. At the last minute he flew towards them and threw the door open, sending Kagome, who had been reaching for the door, flying through the air.
Kagome landed on her side with a painful crunch and she whimpered in pain as she slowly sat up. She turned to glare at the CEO and hissed. "You are the spawn of the devil."
Sesshoumaru ignored her and peered around the hallway. "You haven't seen anyone out here have you?" He asked.
"Well I don't know!" Kagome crossly said. "I'll get back to you once the doctors tell me if I've got brain damage from being pushed down so many times!"
"Impossible." Sesshoumaru scoffed. "You had brain loss as a child."
"You are unbearable." Kagome yelled as she got up and stalked into the office.
"I try to be." Sesshoumaru amiably said.
They worked together for about an hour when Kagome jumped as she glanced up at the clock. Sesshoumaru paused and turned to look at his assistant who was furiously clicking away on her computer. The printer lit up and started printing off some documents as Kagome shut down her computer, sped over to the printer, gathered the printed papers, and rushed out of the room yelling.
"I've got something to do, see you in the cafeteria for lunch." She glanced over at her shoulder to see Sesshoumaru frowning before she sprinted down the hallway.
"She's up to something." Sesshoumaru said as he suspiciously gazed at the empty corridor.
Half an hour later Sesshoumaru slowly rose to his feet and walked, with great reservations, to the elevator; making his way to the cafeteria. He was apprehensive, wondering if his 'fan club' would be there to mob him in the dining hall. He didn't want to give Kagome more fuel then necessary.
He slowly marched toward the cafeteria and opened the doors, preparing himself for the inevitable.
"Okay, I have two more profile shots for ten bucks each. Who wants them?" Came the unmistakable voice of Kagome.
"I WANT THEM!"
"NO, I DO! Stupid girl get out of my way! Sesshoumaru is mine!" Rabid fangirls screamed as they clawed at each other, waving their money at Kagome. Kagome was standing on top of a chair, a large table in front of her.
She was grinning from ear to ear as she handed the copies to two separate girls who were closest to her. She shoved the money into a little box that was already bursting at the seams with dollar bills.
Sesshoumaru squinted and tried to see exactly what the demonic girl was doing. However his assistant answered his question with the words that came out of her mouth.
"Okay. Next up are two great front shots of the great Sesshoumaru! Printed with the very best photo printer available, these pictures were taken with a digital camera, and I've got floppies for those who are willing to pay." She said with a glint in her eyes.
The girl employees went wild, jumping and mashing together, trying to get to Kagome first.
"Now settle down girls." Kagome drawled as she showed them the goods, making them even more frantic. "There is plenty of Lord Sesshoumaru to go around." She mocked.
In a flash Sesshoumaru was behind the impudent girl, his arm around her waist as he pulled her off the chair. He tightened his grip on her waist and snarled. "Kagome, what are you doing?" He growled in her ear as several of the ladies fainted at the sight of the object of their worship.
"I'm making a profit! Come on, this way I can take a taxi to work! Or, if this business takes off like I'm hoping, I'll even be able to buy a car! Muwahah!" Kagome chirped as she rubbed her hands together.
Sesshoumaru glowered and moved his mouth closer to Kagome's ear as he continued to increase the pressure on his hold, shoving the girl's back into his chest. "Close this 'business' right now." He ordered as several more girls swooned.
"Okay!" Kagome said with a nervous laugh, Sesshoumaru's breath was tickling the back of her neck, and she suspected that by the end of the day there would be several attempts on her life from her ex-clients.
"Sorry ladies, but the Sesshoumaru photo store is going out of business." Kagome said with a smile, still being held captive in Sesshoumaru's arms. She strained forward to grab the remaining pictures and a few floppy disks and glanced over her shoulder to see Sesshoumaru gazing at her. "But remember, live long and prosper!" She yelled as she threw the photos and disks into the air.
The cafeteria was filled with screams of joy as Kagome snatched her money box and was dragged out of the room by Sesshoumaru as grown women jumped up and down and fought each other for the pictures and floppies.
"Hahah!" Kagome said as she looked over her shoulder, smiling at her work, as Sesshoumaru pulled her out of the building and into the streets.
"We are going out for lunch, and you are paying." He announced.
"WHAT?" Kagome yelped.
Sesshoumaru glared at her. "You owe it to me."
"You just want to steal all my new found wealth. You miser!" She complained and accused as she shook her bursting money box.
Sesshoumaru impassively stared at her. Kagome groaned and rolled her eyes. "Oh fine. But we're going to McDonalds™."
"I expected nothing less, or more, from the famed penny pincher." Sesshoumaru mocked.
Kagome stuck her nose up in the air. "Well it's my money and my treat so stop complaining. And don't you dare order enough to feed the office!" She lectured as they started off for the nearest McDonalds.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Sesshoumaru slyly said.
"SESSHOUMARU!" Kagome screamed as she ran after her boss, intent on shoving the cap of her water bottle up his nose.
"You never said I couldn't order enough to completely fill my stomach!" Sesshoumaru scorned as he continued to stoically walk fast down the sidewalk. He was no fool; he knew that Kagome would not hesitate to inflict bodily damage upon his person.
"I don't CARE! YOU OWE ME THIRTY SIX DOLLARS AND TWENTY TWO CENTS!" She howled as she chased after the infuriating CEO.
Sesshoumaru quickly jumped into the building and safely made it to the elevator, Kagome hot on his heels.
The door was starting to close as Kagome leaped through, barely making it, and tripped in the process. She was about to crash to the floor when Sesshoumaru leapt forward and caught her.
An unexpected jolt in the elevator caused Sesshoumaru to step back, Kagome slamming into his chest.
The door opened to reveal a rejoicing Tashio who was holding a box of heart shaped chocolates. The silver haired man glanced up from his box and gazed at the two other persons in the elevator who were clasped together in a makeshift hug.
Tashio's jaw dropped and his box of chocolates slid out of his hands and dropped on the floor with a splat. Tashio blinked and opened and closed his hands several times in surprise as the elevator doors started to slide shut.
"Sesshoumaru, you sly dog you!" He shouted as the door closed in his face, leaving a blushing Kagome and a frustrated Sesshoumaru in the elevator.
Kagome jumped out of his arms and brushed off her skirt in an embarrassed manner. Sesshoumaru's face remained icy stone and he simply blinked as they waited for the elevator to stop at their floor.
Once the door slowly slid open Kagome rushed out of the elevator and breathed a sigh of relief as she started down the hallway, sprinting toward the office. As she seated herself in her seat she remembered the expensive gift Sesshoumaru was lending her. She watched her boss sit down out of the corner of her eye as she continued to muse over the meaning of the jewelry. It was extremely kind of him to give her the necklace and earrings, even if she was simply borrowing it for the time being.
"I bet they cost him a small fortune." She mused as she frowned and tapped the desk with a pencil. "I really should thank him…" However any appreciation she held for the man was erased when he spoke.
"Get to work Higurashi." He ordered while his eyes never left his computer screen.
Kagome huffed and turned her attention to her work, resolving not to thank the CEO.
Meanwhile Sesshoumaru frowned, slightly irritated. The girl had not thanked him for the jewelry yet, he was starting to worry. "Perhaps she does not like it?" He thought to himself, feeling slightly worried. However he quickly reassured himself and scoffed. "Impossible! This Sesshoumaru has perfect taste... And well paid fashion consultants. Perhaps she did not get the package?" He wondered. Worry was set in his mind again. "That means a million dollar necklace is sitting in the hallway of her apartment building. Great, perhaps I should simply ask her and get it over with."
Together they worked for about two hours, each worrying about separate things. Kagome was worrying about being ungrateful, and she was hoping that Sesshoumaru would not notice that she was playing Tetris. Sesshoumaru was worrying about the diamond jewelry that could possibly be sitting in the middle of an apartment complex. He was also starting to realize that Kagome probably didn't have the slightest clue as to how she was supposed to act.
"That won't matter." He thought with a grunt. "Any girl that shows up with me will have immediate respect."
"Um, Sesshoumaru?" Kagome softly asked. Sesshoumaru's head shot up and Kagome smiled and glanced at the clock. "Do you mind telling me when the party is scheduled for? I need to know how soon I need to start getting ready."
Sesshoumaru frowned. "It starts at six."
"It's three right now; do you think I could go home and start getting ready? I have a lot of stuff that I have to do." She said.
Sesshoumaru's frown deepened. "In thirty minutes you can go. I have to go to a meeting with my brother and I need someone to answer my calls. Once I return you are free to leave, however we will be working tomorrow!" He said.
"Fine." Kagome carelessly said as she went back to her Tetris game as Sesshoumaru gathered up some documents and a leather binder before he exited the office.
Sesshoumaru blinked as he patiently waited in the elevator for the contraption to take him down to his brother's office. The door opened to reveal the same layout as Tashio's office, a large open section in front for Kikyo's office with walls and a door containing Inu Yasha's unnecessarily large office. Kikyo was currently sitting at her desk, filing her nails, humming horribly off tune.
Sesshoumaru slowly tip toed through Kikyo's section. The walls were white and boring and she only had a desk and chair in the room. Kikyo was probably the only person Sesshoumaru was truly nervous about, that was most likely because she was mentally unstable. Sesshoumaru crept around the strange… girl, and opened the door to Inu Yasha's office, flinging himself inside before the crazy girl noticed him.
"Hello, idiot." Sesshoumaru greeted his half brother.
"Hi moron." Inu Yasha muttered as Sesshoumaru seated himself in a chair in front of Inu Yasha's desk.
Inu Yasah's office looked more like a gaming room then an actual office. Two big screened TV's were set in corners, and large comfortable couches and gaming systems were laid out in front of them. The walls were a bright, annoying red, and posters of Inu Yasha's favorite games were plastered onto the wall.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Sesshoumaru asked, skipping the pleasantries.
Inu Yasha handed him a large folder. "I wanted to tell you a few things. First of all just so you know Pop is talking about opening another branch of our company in Europe. He had me start on some new advertisements so here they are, in the correct languages depending on the countries they will be sent to." Inu Yasha started. "Pop said that you need to take a look at them and tell me if you want me to draw up any more for some new programs or equipment or what not."
"Fine." Sesshoumaru frowned, he didn't get why his little brother never faxed anything. Perhaps it was because he rarely got visitors since the front of his office housed a beast. "Is that all?"
"Nope. I thought I would warn you, Pop is going around dancing and singing about how you have the hots for Kagome." Inu Yasha said as Sesshoumaru choked. Whatever he had been expecting his brother to say, it certainly wasn't that. "You don't do you?" Inu Yasha asked, pinning his brother down with a golden stare that wasn't very different from his own.
"No." Sesshoumaru firmly stated. "Higurashi is a particularly annoying employee who my father happened to force into becoming my temporary assistant."
"Then why haven't you interviewed any more girls who have handed in their resume to become your assistant?" Inu Yasha curiously asked.
Sesshoumaru choked again. "None of the applicants were worth my time." He loftily said. Even to his own ears the excuse sounded weak. Sesshoumaru frowned, why hadn't he reviewed any of the new resumes? Kagome had nearly shoved them down his throat every time a new one popped up. Sesshoumaru scowled at his own stupidity and brushed it off as he stood, readying himself to leave.
"Is that all?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Inu Yasha nodded. "Yep." He said as his older brother stalked off. "Oh, wait." Inu Yasha called. "Where are you having Kagome get her hair styled? Kikyo made me make an appointment for her with some French dude. Misour Vilewart… or Vilewort? Something like that." Inu Yasha rattled as Sesshoumaru froze.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "You know how the girls always get so dolled up! It's like a competition between companies to see who has the prettiest girls. So, where's she going?" He questioned.
Sesshoumaru blinked. He had never taken a girl to a cocktail party, how the heck was he supposed to know this kind of thing? "Someone…good." Sesshoumaru assured his brother before he rushed out of the office and quickly walked to the elevator, pulling out his cell phone as he went. He entered the elevator and started dialing. The phone rang
"Kanna, I'm calling in a favor. You need to find Yura Demisa for me."
Kagome stared at her computer screen with an open mouth as she worked her way up to the 24th level of Tetris. She barely acknowledged Sesshoumaru who stormed into the room in his magnificent glory.
"You, up, now!" He said, dragging the girl out of his seat.
"What?" Kagome yelled. "I have to finish my game!" She said.
Sesshoumaru promptly unplugged the computer and dropped the cord before he dragged Kagome down the hallway and into the elevator.
"What's up your butt?" Kagome muttered as she darkly glared at the CEO.
"I have decided that it is unnecessary for you to get ready by yourself." Sesshoumaru announced as they hurried into the elevator.
"What? So you just expect me to go to the dance like this?" Kagome howled.
"No. We are going to my apartment, I have some specialists waiting there for us." Sesshoumaru responded.
"Specialists? Hey, I don't look that ugly." Kagome growled, her blue eyes flashing dangerously.
"Indeed. At these parties girls get dressed like they were porcelain dolls. I made arrangements for you to have your hair and nails done." Sesshoumaru said as the elevator dinged and he pulled Kagome toward his car.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome demanded. "Don't they just have pretty dresses?" She asked as she hopped in the car.
Sesshoumaru ignored her and instead dialed his phone. "Hello, Jaken? Go to Kagome's apartment and pick up her dress and the jewelry." Sesshoumaru shot Kagome a look, remembering that she had said nothing about it. "Bring it by my apartment once you have them. Miss Higurashi will be getting ready at my residence." Sesshoumaru barked before he hung up the phone.
The car roared to life and they flew out of the garage at an even faster pace then the usual break neck speed.
Kagome gulped, her face deathly white as they sped down the streets. "Higurashi, did you receive a package this morning?" Sesshoumaru demanded as they turned a particularly sharp corner.
"Yes." Kagome whimpered. "Thank you for lending me the jewelry." She feebly got out before her face was plastered to the sides of the car.
Sesshoumaru didn't reply and instead they pulled up to Sesshoumaru's giant apartment.
Kagome quivered silently in the seat as Sesshoumaru got out and dragged her out of her seat and into his apartment, if you could call it that.
The apartment was extremely stylish, the kitchen had all the modern convinces with beautiful marble counters and a sparkling glass table. The living room had soft tan carpeting with giant windows and a huge big screened TV. Two dark blue leather chairs were placed side by side and a large comfy couch that could easily hold Sesshoumaru's lean frame was slanted next to four huge book cases. Kagome could see a spare room with a spare bathroom, and Sesshoumaru's bedroom and master bathroom from across the living room.
Seated in a blue leather chair in the living room was a girl with short black hair. She was twiddling her thumbs and looking rather nervous as she glanced around the room. Upon hearing Sesshoumaru enter the room she turned a ghostly white and stuttered.
"Hello S-s-Sesshoumaru. Wh-where is th-the girl y-you need m-me to work on?" She stammered.
"Hello Yura. This is Kagome." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome curiously peered out from behind Sesshoumaru's back and Yura's nervousness seemed to dissipate.
"Hello Kagome!" She said as she walked up to the girl and started stroking Kagome's thick black hair. "You have such nice hair, we'll have a fun time with her, won't we ladies?" She paused, turning to face three girls who stood across the room, each loaded with a hair dryer, a curling iron, nail polish, and a file on a large belt on their waists.
A squat little toad like man that reminded Kagome of Yoda waddled into Sesshoumaru's apartment, carrying the packages that contained her dress and jewelry. "Ahh, Jaken! Perfect timing!" Yura cooed as she lifted the boxes out of the little man's hands and she fled from Sesshoumaru's presence, that girl could still remember the horrific days of when she worked for the CEO.
"Why do you have Yoda working for you?" Kagome asked feeling slightly disturbed.
"Go with Yura, she and her assistants will ready you for the party." Sesshoumaru ordered.
Instantly the three girls grabbed Kagome and dragged her into Sesshoumaru's room. "Wait! No, what are you doing! SESSHOUMARU! What's going on?" Kagome managed to scream out before the door was firmly shut behind her.
Sesshoumaru cautiously walked across the living room and opened his door to see that the women had already torn off Kagome's clothes and wrapped her in a fluffy white robe. They had seated her in a luxurious chair, and Yura smirked into the mirror in front of Kagome.
"I am ready to create a master piece!" She yelled before she wetted down the computer hacker's hair and got to work, cutting off the split ends.
Her first assistant got to work filing Kagome's nails, the second assistant started to do the same to her feet. The third assistant spotted Sesshoumaru and rushed to shove him out of the room, locking the door behind him.
Sesshoumaru stared at the wooden door leading to his bedroom. He had just been kicked out!
"Those impudent girls!" Jaken yelled, jumping up and down as he held onto his grandpa hat to keep it from falling off his bald little head. "You should punish them Master Sesshoumaru!"
"Shut up Jaken." Sesshoumaru ordered as he tossed his head, sending his silver hair flying.
He prowled around his apartment for the better part of half an hour, wondering what they were doing to Kagome. He knew Yura said she would style the girl's hair, give her a manicure, pedicure, allow her to use Sesshoumaru's giant tub (Like he ever used it!), help her to get on her dress, makeup, and jewelry.
He pounded on the door. "Yura, what's going on?"
To his surprise his ex assistant opened the door and poked her head out of the space. "Kagome is currently taking a bath. Try to keep it down please, she has soothing music and aroma therapy right now." Yura bravely said.
Sesshoumaru frowned and checked his watch. "It's currently 4 o'clock. I need to get into my room by five so I can get changed; we are leaving by 5:30. Make sure she's ready on time!" He growled before he stalked over to the couch to watch some TV, grumbling about the mindless makeup drones that he had hired.
Meanwhile Kagome was enjoying her bath, she had been in there for about twenty minutes now, and it was quite soothing! When she got out Yura said they would style her hair and give her a French manicure! "I'm so happy!" Kagome giggled as she splashed the water around. The tub was so large that Kagome had to move in order to go from one end to the other. It was abnormally deep and had relaxing jets that sprayed hot water into the bath.
Someone knocked on the door, shattering Kagome's reverence. "Miss Kagome? You need to come out now, we are on a schedule." An assistant said.
Kagome frowned and called back. "I like it in here though! I want to take a longer bath!" She complained.
She heard some voices outside the door before Yura responded. "Kagome, might I remind you that you are currently sitting in Sesshoumaru's bath in which I assume he uses."
Kagome froze and was out of the water in a shot, dried herself off, put on a bathrobe, and threw open the door yelling. "Why didn't you tell me that sooner?"
"I told you that would work." Yura said with a smirk as she directed Kagome into a chair. "Don't worry; you do not have Sesshoumaru cooties. I highly doubt that Sesshoumaru, being a dignified and stubborn mule, would ever take a bath."
Kagome paused as Yura started applying creams in her hair. "Yeah, you're probably right."
"Yura! Open up right now! I need to use my bedroom!" Sesshoumaru demanded as he pounded on the door.
"Use the spare bedroom!" Yura bossily ordered.
"I can't." Sesshoumaru said, grinding his teeth as he wondered when his ex assistant had become so stubborn and brave. "My tuxedo is in my room!" Suddenly the door was opened and Sesshoumaru's tux was shoved into his hands before the door was quickly shut and locked again.
Sesshoumaru glared and stalked across the living room to slam the spare bed room door. He moodily changed clothes and washed his face as he killed time, glancing at his watch every now and then.
By the time he was ready it was five thirty. "Yura! Release Kagome instantly!"
"Go out to your car, we'll be there shortly!" Yura mocked through the safety of the wooden door.
Sesshoumaru grouched to himself as he exited his apartment, being sure to give Jaken a good stress relief kick, still wondering how Yura became so bossy.
He leaned up against his black mustang, his face set in small frown as he waited for Kagome. The door opened and his head shot up to see a giggling Yura with her three assistants scamper out of his apartment.
"Where is Kagome?" He asked.
Yura simply stood on the sidewalk and pointed back to the door which Kagome was currently exiting. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. "That's Kagome?" He wondered as he stared at the angel.
Kagome was wearing a beautiful white strapless dress that had a silk lining with a over veil of small velvet flowers. The dress clung to her chest and waist before freely pooling out around her. She was wearing white silk gloves that went to her elbows, and small white heeled sandals which peeped out underneath the long dress. The necklace glittered at her creamy white throat, and the star earrings winked and glistened in the setting sun. She smelled distinctly of roses and the forest, a beautiful and alluring combination. Her makeup was flawless; she had a creamy maroon red lip stick with a hint of blush on her cheeks. Her long eyelashes brought attention to her azure colored eyes, as did her high cheekbones that were now beautifully obvious. Her eye shadow was a sparkling white with a black eye liner, making her eyes look big and doe like. Her jet black hair was piled up on the top of her head in luxurious curls with diamonds laced into the dark locks. To sum it up she looked like an angel that had come from Heaven.
Sesshoumaru looked shocked as Kagome gave him a small smile, making her look even more appealing. "Thanks for lending me the jewelry Sesshoumaru." She softly said as she self consciously touched the necklace.
Sesshoumaru smirked and stepped forward, looking rather sharp in his black and white tuxedo which brought attention to his amber colored eyes and beautiful silver hair. "Not a problem Miss. Higurashi." He said as he offered Kagome his arm and escorted her to his car, closing the door behind her.
He turned to Yura and her assistants who were crying with joy. "You did well; see Jaken for your pay." He said before he got into his car and slowly, for once, drove away.
A huge smile broke out over Yura's face. Sure, after a minute Sesshoumaru might have been able to school his features, but his initial reaction to the beautiful Kagome screamed his true feelings. Yura had never seen Sesshoumaru look so… alive! Something was lurking in those golden eyes of his, and for once it wasn't ice.
"You sure know how to pick them Sesshoumaru." Yura said with a grin as she turned to go into his apartment. "And if you break her heart I'll kill you." She threatened.
Inu Yasha yawned and adjusted the tie of his tux. Kikyo was currently squealing with delight as the music started up. She was wearing a shimmery blue dress with blue makeup. "Why must Pops throw theses parties?" He thought to himself as he watched Kikyo coo at her reflection in a mirror.
Every year Tashio threw one large cocktail party for Tashio Inc and all of its partners and fellow businesses. The parties were huge, everyone who was anyone always showed. However, the talk of this party was Sesshoumaru and the chick he was bringing.
"First time he's shown any interest in a female, at least that I can remember." Inu Yasha muttered as he drank a mountain dew, he would need it to keep him up late enough.
Almost everyone had showed up already, which was surprising… but Inu Yasha bet it had something to do with Sesshoumaru and his date, Kagome. Inu Yasha frowned as more people paraded past him, speculating on Sesshoumaru's date. "If he ruins Kagome's reputation because of this I'll rip out his throat and feed him to the dogs." Inu Yasha grumbled.
"What's that Inu Yashie?" Kikyo simpered, using a horrible name she herself had come up with. (Which explained why it was so horrible) "You think I'm pretty Inu?" She asked as she fluttered her eyelashes.
"Uh…yeah!" He said. As the old saying went… 'deny, deny, deny!' In this case Inu Yasha simply denied the truth.
"Sesshoumaru has arrived!" A random person in the crowd yelled out. Everyone turned around to stare at the grand staircase expectantly.
Sure enough, Sesshoumaru with his handsome pristine looks and perfect figure appeared at the top. The tux only made women more aware of how tall and well built he was as they gazed at him with admiring faces. He turned his head to face the hallway for a moment and extended a hand. Inu Yasha could see him murmuring something. Slowly a white gloved hand reached out from the hallway to clasp his hand.
"What the heck is going on?" Inu Yasha muttered as he downed his mountain dew.
Kagome nervously fidgeted with her dress. "Sesshoumaru, there are a lot of people out there." She whispered as she stayed out of height while Sesshoumaru gazed at the crowd from the stair case.
He turned to face her and gave her a small smile. Knowing she needed some extreme reassurance he spoke. "You look beautiful Kagome, you honor me as being my date." He said as he extended his hand toward her.
Kagome glowed with praise, knowing that she would most likely be one of only a handful of girls who would ever hear those words from the ice prince. She slowly reached out and held his hand. He gave her one more small smile as he gently pulled her into view.
Kagome stared at the crowd with wide eyes, the people had been furiously whispering away, but as soon as she had come out everyone had stopped talking. "Sesshoumaru, what am I doing wrong?" She hissed, looking scared and frightened.
Sesshoumaru chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist. "You are doing nothing wrong Kagome; they are simply astounded by your beauty." He lightly teased as he escorted her down the staircase.
Instantly everyone began to mummer together, speculating on the girl as they watched Tashio's elder son smile… a rare sight indeed. The girl herself as gorgeous, she could easily give Sesshoumaru a run for his money when it came to beauty.
Inu Yasha stared and dropped his mountain dew bottle. That was Kagome? Naw, couldn't be! Inu Yasha pushed his way through the crowd to get a better look. Tashio had pounced on the couple and Inu Yasha saw her smile, assuring him it was Kagome.
"Dang!" He contemplated out loud. "If I knew she was that pretty then I would have snagged her long ago!" He whistled before shrugging. "Oh well. At least I know she'll shock Sesshoumaru for the rest of his life." Inu Yasha said, smirking as he noticed the way his brother couldn't help but gaze with admiration at the beautiful girl.
Inu Yasha snickered. "So the ice prince isn't gay after all. How funny!" He said, he knew anyone watching Sesshoumaru wouldn't see the appreciation in Sesshoumaru's eye as he looked at Kagome. Inu Yasha was one of the few who could, and Tashio was another.
Tashio grinned proudly at his son and hopefully future daughter in law. "Kagome you look beautiful!" He said as Sakura twirled into view, dressed up in a lavender gown.
"Thank you." Kagome said with a blush.
"Kagome, darling, you have out done us all! You look gorgeous!" The older woman praised as she gently embraced the younger girl, noticing with a sly look that Sesshoumaru had yet to remove his arm from Kagome's waist. "Well you two are the talk of the party." She teased as she lightly swatted Sesshoumaru. "You have easily become the most beautiful and envied couple here tonight!" She said with a wink.
Kagome turned a brighter red and Sesshoumaru smirked, proud that the first girl he had brought to a company event was an excellent choice.
"Come on Sakura, we had best leave these two alone!" Tashio said with an evil smirk as he pulled his wife toward the dance floor.
Kagome coughed lightly in embarrassment as Inu Yasha walked up to them, Kikyo trailing a few feet behind him. "You look wonderful tonight Kagome." He said as he kissed her gloved hand.
Kagome glanced up at Sesshoumaru, if she got any more compliments she knew she was going to turn into a tomato.
"And you don't look so bad yourself Sesshoumaru." Inu Yasha said as he cocked a silver eyebrow at his older brother.
"As do you Inu Yasha."
Inu Yasha grinned. "Have fun with the party, try not to get killed Kagome, these girls are ruthless." He said with a wink and a snicker before he was pulled away by the glaring Kikyo.
"May I have this dance?" Sesshoumaru asked with a small smirk as Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Whatever! What do you people do at these parties?" She asked as Sesshoumaru swept her out to the beautiful dance floor at a steady waltz.
"Dance mostly. It's also time for gossip, some of the biggest business gurus discuss the latest developments, it all depends on what you want to do." He explained. "You just mostly have to stand there and look pretty." He advised as Kagome rolled her eyes.
"That's all boring stuff!" She pouted as Sesshoumaru twirled her around, pulling her back into his chest.
"Yes, but don't you dare try to liven it up!" He whispered in her ear before releasing her, twirling her back out.
"Yeah, yeah." Kagome said, tempted to roll her eyes again.
The dance ended and Sesshoumaru bowed to Kagome who curtsied. They were about to talk before an older man and his young son interrupted them
"Sesshoumaru, you don't mind if I talk to you and my son steals your lovely girl for a dance, do you?"
A hard light entered Sesshoumaru's eyes as the young man bowed to Kagome and swept her out to the dance floor. "No, not at all Mr. Honda." He said between clenched teeth.
He talked to the older man for ten minutes as he jealously watched Kagome dance with the young man. "What is my problem?" Sesshoumaru internally lectured himself. "I have not been this childish since my seventh birthday! I do not like or own Kagome Higurashi, she is simply an employee that I opted to bring to this party." Sesshoumaru mused at his own out of charcterness and resolved to squash the seed of jealousy as another man came up to claim Kagome for a dance.
Mr. Honda soon left, leaving Sesshoumaru to the clutches of his many admirers.
"Sesshoumaru you are so handsome." One girl, clutching his left arm, purred. "Won't you dance with me?" She asked.
Sesshoumaru glared ahead with ice eyes. Okay, so maybe he wasn't jealous of Kagome anymore be he sorely hoped that she would get her little white butt over here and save him!
Kagome, however, did no such thing, and continued to dance around the room with several different partners, forcing Sesshoumaru to dance with the drooling women.
Some of them were well groomed, very refined, and good dancers. However the entire time they filled the conversation with facts about them and telling Sesshoumaru how available they were. Others were not so good at dancing… and they also talked of nothing but themselves.
He was on his ninth dance and was mentally cursing Kagome and her ability to never say no when, as if reading his thoughts; she appeared before him and the horde of women.
He sighed with relief and reached past the girls and extend his hand to her. She wordlessly took it and together they stepped out on the dance floor.
"You looked like you were having fun!" She teased.
"Thank you for saving me so quickly… oh wait you didn't." He grumbled.
Kagome laughed. "Hah! The great Sesshoumaru needs saving, now I wish I had a tape recorder!" She said as Sesshoumaru scowled.
"Well next time you see a girl who is roughly the size of a baby whale dancing with me, come and get me." He ordered her.
Kagome winked. "Maybe I will!" She teased before she was quickly grabbed by another young man, vying for her attention.
Sesshoumaru turned back to his fan club with a sinking feeling of dread when his hero showed up in a different form.
"Excuse me girls, I need to borrow Sesshoumaru for a little while." A smooth voice said as she led Sesshoumaru over to a wall.
"Who was that?" A girl asked.
"Pegasus Rider is her pen name. Her real name is Katten Shay, she's a famous author. She's also related to Sesshoumaru." Another girl supplied.
Katten smirked at her relative. "You seem to be having a divine time!" She teased.
"You gave Kagome the idea to take pictures of me, didn't you?" Sesshoumaru growled.
Katten laughed. "Hah! How much cash did she make? I told her it would be nearly enough to make a down payment on a car but she didn't believe me."
Sesshoumaru simply moodily glared at her. Katten shook her head. "Be nice or I'll write a horrible story about you in which you are an ugly humpback."
Sesshoumaru schooled his features so they simply were made out of ice instead. Katten rolled her eyes and turned her attention to the dance floor. "Kagome is very beautiful Sesshoumaru. You did an excellent job picking her out. I applaud you." She turned her black eyes to pin Sesshoumaru down. "But Sesshoumaru, do not lead her on." She warned.
Sesshoumaru snorted. "What on earth are you talking about?
Katten was silent for a few moments. "You know what I mean. Don't break her heart Sesshoumaru, don't shatter her pride either. It won't be a pretty picture if you do. And after this," She said, gesturing with her hands. "I'm sure that she'll have a long list of men interested in her."
Sesshoumaru stared at Katten who gave him a bright smile as the music ended. "Oh, that's the end of the dance, go get her tiger." She said as she solidly pushed her cousin towards the dance floor.
Sesshoumaru scowled before straightening his tux in a dignified manner. He strolled to Kagome and pleasantly smiled at the boy who was hitting on her as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'll be taking her back for now." He smoothly said.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome wordlessly twirled around, simply enjoying each others presence. Kagome smiled with happiness as she felt Sesshoumaru's arms twine around her waist. She was truly enjoying tonight.
Sesshoumaru tried to swallow as he ignored the feeling in his stomach when Kagome happily sighed into his chest. All too soon for both of them the dance ended and they parted, Kagome to dance with Inu Yasha, Sesshoumaru to talk with some business associates.
Inu Yasha smiled as he whirled Kagome around, missing Kikyo's meaningful glare. "Well Kagome, how are you taking to all this finery?" Inu Yasha questioned with a smile.
Kagome laughed. "It's fun, but I'll be happy to return to my small apartment, and to clean up in my small bathroom, before collapsing in my small bed." She said with a grin.
Inu Yasha laughed. "Now that's the Kagome I know! That's right, tomorrow is your last day with Sesshoumaru; won't you feel relieved." He teased.
Kagome thoughtfully frowned. "Actually it hasn't been nearly as bad as I was anticipating. The first day was a little rough, but really he's just a big marshmallow. I mean he pretends to be annoyed and everything but rarely is he truly mad."
Inu Yasha shook his head. "Maybe with you he is, Kagome." Inu Yasha said while thinking. "Marshmallow, HAH! That's a term I have never heard anyone use to describe Sesshoumaru!"
The dance ended and Inu Yasha bowed while Kagome slipped away to get some refreshments. She was taking a breather in the shadows near a side door when suddenly the beastly Kikyo appeared.
"Hello Kagome." She simpered as she gave Kagome a hideous smile.
"Hi Kikyo." Kagome said, forcing herself not to cringe.
"You know you're just a charity case." Kikyo said, not beating around the bush.
"Really?" Kagome questioned, raising her eyebrow.
"Yes. Sesshoumaru just feels bad for you since you're not pretty like me and all." Kikyo said sympathetically as Kagome rolled her eyes. "He knows that you're poor and everything. He's just parading you around here so you'll feel better about yourself."
"Really?" Kagome again said; clearly unimpressed at Kikyo's feeble attempts to insult her.
"I know what you really are Kagome." Kikyo sneered.
"Oh? Enlighten me. What am I?" Kagome asked in a jesting manner.
"You are… a … poor ugly girl!" Kikyo declared.
"Are those the best insults you can think up? You whining, beastly, little girl?" Kagome taunted.
Kikyo frowned; she didn't know what all of those big words meant. "You know what Kagome!" She burst out. "Enjoy it while you can! Sure, for now Sesshoumaru dotes on you and takes you to parties and stuff, but next Monday you'll just be another nobody that he won't even recognize in the hallways! I will be Inu Yasha's secretary forever, you are a temporary fix!" Kikyo stormed, unknowingly hitting a vein. "Sesshoumaru is too good for you Kagome. Even then he'll never love you, don't get your hopes up girl. He only brought you here tonight. You'll never be attending another one of these parties, you'll never get a fancy car, and you won't be his assistant much longer! Enjoy it while you can, poor penniless Kagome. Soon rich Sesshoumaru will leave you in the dust for a new assistant."
Kagome clutched her glass in her hand, appearing to be unmoved by Kikyo's rant. The beast scowled before stomping off, never noticing that Kagome's hand was shaking with emotion.
"She's right." Kagome's conscious prodded her. "Sesshoumaru won't even remember your last name by next week. You are a nobody to him." It whispered. Kagome gave a heart wrenching sob as she dropped her glass as shoved her body up against the door, running out into the cold night air.
She wandered past the parking lot and started down the street, sobbing her broken heart out. She walked down the long side walk as it began to drizzle. Not caring if she ruined her dress she collapsed on a park bench as the water seeped into her dress. She felt like Cinderella only it was ten times worse. She knew that Prince Charming belonged in a whole different circle from hers… one where she was a dime a dozen. This Cinderella would remain a servant.
(A/N: HAHAH! I SHOULD END IT HERE… But I won't. :)
Sesshoumaru peered over short heads, looking for Kagome. He spotted her, staring off into space as Kikyo whispered some vile sort of poison into her ears. Sesshoumaru frowned, whatever it was it wasn't good, he could tell by the way Kagome was shaking as the monster disappeared.
Sesshoumaru slowly worked his way toward her from the other side of the room, and was greatly alarmed when he saw her suddenly wretch the door open and stumble out of the party into the night.
"Sesshoumaru!" Tashio yelled. "We've been looking all over for you!" He thundered as four grey haired men behind him nodded.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to excuse me." He said with a nod.
"Sesshoumaru!" Tashio called after his eldest son who disappeared. "What has gotten into that boy?" He wondered.
Sesshoumaru pushed open the door and gazed around the cold night as it began to drizzle. "Kagome!" He yelled in the empty parking lot. He followed the side walk, occasionally yelling as he was thoroughly soaked, it was a down pour. "Kagome!" He said as he peered into the darkness. Up ahead, stumbling forward, he could see a white spot.
He sprinted toward the dot, yelling with all his might. "Kagome! What's wrong?" He yelled as he could see her better in spite of the chilling rain.
She was giving out heart wrenching sobs as she collapsed on a park bench, the rain pooling around her.
"Kagome." Sesshoumaru said, the hysterical girl apparently hadn't noticed his presence.
"She's right." Kagome hiccupped to herself. "I won't get the fancy car, and this won't last much longer." She mourned. "Cinderella. It's the role I was born to play." Kagome paused to cry again, harder. "Why? Why me?" She yelled in between her heart wrenching sobs. "Why do I have to be so strong? WHY?" She screamed up at the dark sky as the lighting streaked across the heavens and thunder sounded in the streets.
Kagome suddenly felt herself being clasped around the waist and be gently lifted up. She glanced up to see Sesshoumaru as he held her in his arms, bridal style. "Sesshoumaru?" She hiccupped.
Sesshoumaru gazed at her with sad gold eyes, emotions clearly playing in them. She wordlessly struggled out of his hands until she was standing on her own feet as the rain poured down on them.
"What did she say to you?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"She told me the truth. Thank you for the wonderful week Sesshoumaru." Kagome said, taking a shuddering breath. "It was fun being your assistant." She said, not looking him in the eye for fear of bursting out into tears again.
"Kagome." Sesshoumaru softly said with more emotion then Kagome had ever heard him speak with before.
She continued to hang her head until Sesshoumaru cupped her chin in his hand and tipped it up to gaze at his face. He let go and stared at her, water was dripping off of her she was soaked from head to toe. She would surely have a cold by the morning. Sesshoumaru's silver hair was a wet sheet, his tuxedo most assuredly ruined as he gazed at the hurting girl.
"Thanks again." Kagome said; more tears gathering in her eyes as she prepared herself to walk home in spite of the rain.
Sesshoumaru shook his head and leaned closer to her. "Kagome, for all your intelligence there are some things you simply don't understand." He gently told her as he slid his arms around her, pulling her closer to him.
Kagome wordlessly gazed at him, tears streaming from her cheeks as Sesshoumaru gave her a tender smile before he gently leaned over and kissed her. Kagome was shocked for a moment before she melted in his hands.
It felt so right, so pure, so charming. It was a simple sweet act, and it felt like she truly was Cinderella, and that he was Prince charming who was coming to rescue her. It was like a thousand of shooting stars went off in her stomach and best yet was that he was keeping her pure unlike most guys. Her arms slid up and she looped them around his neck as Sesshoumaru smiled around the kiss to her response. He gently pulled away for a moment and rested his face on her cheek. "I don't know what she told you, but whatever it was, she lied." He said before kissing her again keeping it just as pure and just as sweet as the first time.
Tashio smiled from under his umbrella with Sakura as he watched his son kiss Kagome. He knew how much Sesshoumaru loved her; it was obvious with the tender way that he handled her.
"Come on dear." Sakura said as she took his arm and all but dragged him back toward the party. "Sesshoumaru will take the poor girl home so she can rest. We have a little beast we have to deal with."
Tashio scowled, looking dark and frightening. "I'm going to make that girl wish she was never born." He growled.
"Be nice dear." Sakura said while patting his arm. "We can't find many girls that can stand Inu Yasha. And besides, Sesshoumaru is going to want to tear her from limb to limb tomorrow." Sakura wisely said as her husband nodded.
"Yeah… I guess I could save a leg for him." He graciously said as Sakura giggled and lightly hit him.
"You are so horrible." She teased.
"I know!" Tashio proudly said.
Sesshoumaru carried the sleeping Kagome into her apartment one more. "Kagome, wake up. You need to get out of these clothes." He told her as he gently roused her.
"Mmm. Please, just five more minutes' mom." Kagome grumbled as she snuggled into his chest.
Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. "I am most definitely not your mother Kagome." He said as he set her on the couch while he took off her jewelry for her.
The young assistant eventually stumbled to her feet and went to her room, solidly closing the door behind her. She emerged five minutes later dressed in adorable frog pajama pants with a green hoodie.
Sesshoumaru nodded, satisfied that she had changed. "Good night Kagome, be sure to set your alarm clock for work tomorrow." He reminded.
"Come on, can't you let me sleep in?" Kagome grumbled. "Or how bout I just get the day off!" She suggested.
Sesshoumaru shook his head. "You can sleep in an hour but you will come to work!" He said.
"Or else?"
"Or else."
"Or else what?"
Sesshoumaru paused. "I don't know yet, but I will think up of something perfectly evil, most likely involving that dratted stuffed cat." He said.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Night Sesshoumaru." She said as she sleepily waved.
Sesshoumaru smirked. "Sorry, a wave isn't good enough for me." He sneered as he quickly closed the distance between them and gave her a light kiss on the lips, getting her hoodie a little wet as he pulled her up against his wet chest.
Kagome smiled in blissfulness. "Good night Sesshoumaru." She said again.
"Good night Kagome." Sesshoumaru said with a small smile as he shut the door behind him. "Yes, today was a good day." He thought with a satisfied smirk.
He arrived at his apartment and quickly shed his soaked tuxedo, took a hot shower, and slipped on some pants and a shirt before walking to bed. On his way there he tripped over something.
"What the heck?" He muttered as he turned on a light, only to be confronted by Kagome's clothes that had been left in the apartment. "… She's going to kill me." He calmly said.
Several miles across town Kagome readied herself for the following day. She had put the jewelry out so she could give it back to Sesshoumaru. She had a shirt all picked out, now all she needed was a black skirt. She was planning on wearing the same one that she wore today, after all snow boy wouldn't notice. Kagome paused and frowned. Where was her skirt? After pausing several minutes Kagome screamed.
"SESSHOUMARU!"
OKAY! DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER! Good huh? 21 pages. Took me FOREVER!
Okay, people I want to warn you… From here on just cuz they kissed it doesn't mean they are lovey dovey.
As a matter of fact at first they pretend like it didn't happen.. and on Sunday? Well… yeah, remember on Monday Kagome no longer works for Sesshoumaru, and it's not cuz they are living happily ever after.
So stay tuned for more folks, this is only the beginning of Kikyo's evil! Kagome will cry again, and perhaps the ice lord will feel a deep sadness and regret too.
Until next time, which is going to be a while since I'm pooped out of my poor helpless mind.
PLEASE REVIEW! I THRIVE ON THEM! XD they make me write faster too. ) Thank you to all of you who reviewed this story!
