A First for Everything
Chapter 2
The door gently slid open before a head popped curiously through the opening. Quickly surveying the room her dark hair floated over her shoulder. Kagome noticed that it was empty. Leaving out a huge sigh of relief, she pushed the door open fully, sliding into the room. After locking the door, she fell onto the bed, closing her eyes.
"Thank God he left," she muttered into the sheets. She still couldn't believe that she had awoken next to a man, and a gorgeous one at that. If only Kouga could have seen this. After all, it was his fault in the first place.
Flashback
"You know, Kagome, you should just get with me," Kouga said, glancing at her from the corner of his blue eye while he took a sip of his beer.
Her angry eyes turned to him, challenging him to explain.
"And why should I do that?"
Kouga grinned slyly; turning his bar stool until he fully faced her. "Because, it's not like you can get any other man. Even if you did, it's not like they would stay with you like I would. I bet you wouldn't even put out."
Her fists clutched furiously at her side, a low growling coming from her throat. The nerve of this man! He was always trying to get her to date him, and there was no way she would even consider it now. He had just crossed the line.
"Why would I ever date someone as pigheaded and arrogant as you?" she shot back, her voice showing her anger. Her blue eyes flashed dangerously, daring him to say anything more.
He got up from the stool, grabbing his beer. "Yeah, well, I'll still be around when you come to your senses," he replied. As he turned away, he ran his hand over Kagome's thigh, only to be met with her hand connecting with his skull.
"Don't touch me, you pig!" she bit out.
Upset, she pounded back a few drinks. Although she was far from drunk, she had had enough to give herself a boost of courage. She set out to prove Kouga wrong, to show him that she would never lower herself to going to the likes of him. That was when she had met him, Sesshomaru. He was drinking causally at the bar when she had come up to him. She had never intended on sleeping with him. But when he made his advance on her, she couldn't help but agree.
End Flashback
Rolling over, she heard a crinkle of paper at her legs. Slightly confused, she sat up slowly, looking around at the bed. A small white paper caught her attention. Picking up the sheet, elegant script stared back at her.
'Damn, even his hand writing is perfect,' she thought.
Her eyes scanned over the note, her eyes lighting up with fire. She found herself reading over it again, just to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
'There's a first for everything. You weren't too bad for your first go.'
"The nerve! Is everyone I meet an asshole?" she yelled, crumpling up the paper and tossing it in the trash can.
"You weren't too bad for your first go," she mocked. "That cocky bastard knew!"
Mumbling to herself, she stocked off to the bathroom, locking herself in as she prepared to take a shower.
"Right this way, ma'am," the host said, leading her through the rows of tables in the restaurant.
She was here to meet her new agent. She had yet to see him, but had hired him anyway. Her friend, Sango, had given him wonderful reviews. As she watched the rows of tables go by, a mane of silver came into view.
Her heart stopped, but her legs kept going. Was that him? Kagome didn't know what to do. Should she ignore him? After all, it was just a one night stand. He frowned slightly as she remembered the note. Maybe she should give him some of his own treatment. And much to her dismay, the host was leading her directly towards the silver haired man.
"Miss Higurashi, may I present you with Mr. Tashio," the host said, bowing to her before turning away.
The silver haired man stood, finally turning to face her. Release washed over her. This was not Sesshomaru. It was true that they looked very much alike with golden eyes and regal faces, but this man had softer lines to his face, wider emotional eyes, and was also much shorter.
He grinned softly, holding out his hand to her. "Miss Higurashi, I see the rumors of your beauty are true."
Yep, he could get any girl he wanted if he kept that up. It must be a silver-haired thing.
"Thank you, Mr. Tashio," she replied sweetly, grasping his hand in a handshake.
"Inuyasha will do."
"Then by all means, call me Kagome." She said, smiling.
As they moved to sit down, a waiter immediately came up to them for their orders.
"I'll take a scotch, on the rocks," Inuyasha said, looking over to wait for Kagome to order.
"But it's only 1 in the afternoon!" Kagome exclaimed, shocked at his behavior.
"So?" Inuyasha asked, confusion showing in his eyes.
Shaking her head, she turned to the waiter. "I'll just have a water, please."
Nodding his head, the waited moved off to place their orders. Both just stared at each other, waiting for someone to speak.
'This man seems like an idiot. What was Sango thinking?' Kagome thought.
"Well, what did you think of my book?" Kagome asked, trying to start a conversation.
"I don't know. It's supposed to be good, though," he replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Kagome took a deep breath, trying to keep her annoyance in check. "Inuyasha, didn't you read it?"
He cocked his head to the side, looking puzzled. "No. Was I supposed to?" he asked.
"What!" she growled, her voice rising in volume. "Yes, you are supposed to read it! Why are you even representing me if you don't even know what I can do?"
"I heard you were pretty."
Yep, defiantly an idiot. Kagome clenched her fists, her eyes twitching in anger. 'Stupid moron. I am going to kill Sango!' she thought.
"Because I'm pretty! What kind of answer is that! You better read that story or else!" she threatened.
Inuyasha gulped, nodding his head. "Yes, ma'am," she spat out nervously.
She leaned back in her seat, folding her hands across her chest and glaring angrily at her new agent. With perfect timing, the waiter returned with their drinks. Inuyasha took a large gulp of whisky, laughing nervously under her glare.
"Uhh...well, the publishing rights to your book sold for 3 million dollars," Inuyasha told her.
Her anger immediately faded as interest took its place. "Really?" she asked, her eyes sparkling happily.
"Yep, all you have to do is sign the contract at the publisher's office."
"Wow," Kagome mouthed, still mystified. Now she knew why Sango swore by this man. He wasn't the smartest, but somehow he got the job done.
"Who won the rights?" she asked, leaning over to grab her water.
He took another large gulp before replying. "Tokyo Productions," he said, his voice turning a bit sour.
Kagome's eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped. She had won a deal with the largest and broadest corporation in Japan.
"How did you manage that? I just sent you the book 2 days ago. It usually would take months for them to even look at it."
He frowned slightly as he responded, "Feh, I'm brothers with the owner/president. I always give him first offers on a new deal, but usually he never offers this much money to sign a client."
Her blue eyes scanned over Inuyasha's features, taking in the information.
'He has a brother. Could it be..'
"Your brother?" she inquired gently.
"Yeah, he's an asshole and a womanizer. Don't let him get to you, Kagome. He's cold and emotionless, so I like to call him Lord Fluffy."
Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the nickname. Her voice rang out and soon she heard Inuyasha join in with her bell like laughter. Perhaps her new agent wasn't so bad. They chit chatted for a while longer, discussing business as well as other topics. She had a feeling that she would become good friends with Inuyasha.
Soon enough, though, Kagome and Inuyasha stood up, shaking hands once more before they parted.
"Don't forget, Kagome. 10 am tomorrow at the Regalt. And don't be late, Sesshomaru hates that," Inuyasha reminded her.
Kagome stopped still, her smile disappearing. "Sesshomaru?"
"Yeah, my brother, and your new publisher. See you later, Kag," he said, waving his hand as he began to leave the restaurant.
Kagome stared after him, her face pale and shocked. 'Oh God,' she thought.
Sitting back down in a chair, she signaled for a waiter. She didn't look up as she said, "Get me a vodka and sours."
