Thanks for all your reviews people! You have really given me the motivation to write more! And in this chapter, you will get to know our main characters a little more.
Disclaimer: there is no need to say it, all the people writing fanfic would understand.
Kagome rushed down the hall way, buttoning the buttons on her white her business suit. She was late for work for the third time in a week. I just hope my boss doesn't kill me. Kagome thought franticly. She pressed the elevator's down button several times but they were all in vain, for the elevator did not come immediately like she had hoped. She grunted angrily when the elevator finally arrived and the doors slid open to reveal a very old man and a very old woman. This is just not my day.
The doors on the elevator was about to close when Inuyasha came barging in.
"Sorry." He apologized after pressing the ground button on the elevator wall. Kagome gave him a "you are definitely not forgiven" look and rolled her eyes at the ceiling after wards.
When the elevator got to the first floor, Kagome ran out of the apartment building and toward the parking lot. Inuyasha followed closely behind.
"Kagome!" He called.
"What?" Kagome snapped and turned toward the gay man.
"You forgot your bagel!" Inuyasha panted as he handed the mad woman her breakfast.
"Thanks." Kagome muttered before continuing toward her white Toyota. Inuyasha dismissed her gratitude with a wave of his hand and walked to his black Jaguar.
Kagome opened her car door, started her car engine, and zoomed out of the parking lot.
"Sorry, Boss, I'm so sorry." Kagome muttered as she walked shamefully into her boss's office.
"It's okay, just don't be so next time." Her boss said, his back to her. Kagome obediently nodded and retreated out of the man's office. She slowly walked to her own, only to find depressing piles of assignments piled on her desk. She sighed and got to work.
Inuyasha opened his office door. It was cold because of the air cooler and he was freezing because he forgot his jacket at the attempt to give Kagome her bagel.
"Mr. Hara, you have a client here to see you." His secretary, Ayume walked in holding a clipboard.
"Send the client in, Miss Ayume." Inuyasha nodded.
"Mr. Hara, come in." She walked out. Inuyasha froze at the call of his own last name. He knew there was only one other person besides him and his dead father that has Hara for a last name: his brother, Sesshoumaru.
"What a pleasure to see you again, little brother." The owner of Hara enterprises, the owner of Hara hotel chains, the candidate for the mayor of Kyoto, and the bigger half brother of Inuyasha walked into the lawyer's small office.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha snapped angrily.
"I want you to help me win the election by helping me sue my opponent, Hojo." Sesshoumaru said, his face expressionless, as Inuyasha knew him best.
"What did the poor hobo guy do to you now?" Inuyasha asked, turning his attention to the papers on his desk that needed to be read and signed.
"I want him out of the competition, he won't last a minute out in society."
"But what did he do wrong? I can't sue him if he did nothing wrong." Inuyasha explained, his patience wearing very thin.
"That's where you come in. I'm also hiring you to find his flaws. I heard he has a thing for men too, just like you, little brother." Sesshoumaru smiled evilly at the last part.
"Shut up, you bastard, I'm not gonna do something as low as that just for you." Inuyasha spat.
"Oh, but you will, if I give you a million dollars." Sesshoumaru said and walked out of the office. He paused at the doorway. "I'll let you think about that."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something but closed it instead. A million bucks was a lot of money, and a good chance to become much richer. With Kagome as his financial manager, he could become just as rich as Sesshoumaru. But the money also comes in a very big price. He would have to be officially gay to do the job. But he doesn't know if he wanted to be gay for money. That would mean losing a lot of other things too. Someone help me, I don't know what I want to do! Inuyasha combed his long black hair with his fingers. He was totally lost. I don't want to love men! I already have someone in mind!...Someone in mind? Did I really consider her yesterday? Inuyasha supported his over filled head with his hand. What should I do?
"Hai, Sango, I'm late again." Kagome laughed in to the phone receiver. It was her lunch break and she decided to call Sango just for fun, and because she needed to call her friend back.
"Sure, I'll go to lunch with you, and you should be thankful I didn't eat lunch just yet!" Kagome joked and laughed when she heard Sango do so on the other end.
Kagome quickly hang up and grabbed her purse and rushed out the door. I really gotta stop being on a rush. She concluded as she half jogged to her car. She opened the car door and was soon on her way to Shikon's Dinner once again.
"Hey, Inu, break time!" Miroku called and opened the door the Inuyasha's office roughly.
"Yeah, Yeah. Be there in a minute." Inuyasha replied, signing the last paper and piling it neatly on top of the other papers.
"I understand that you're gay and all but do you haf'ta be such a neat freak?" Miroku teased, frowning.
"Shut up, you bastard!" Inuyasha joked as he stood up and walked over to the door.
"Let's go ta Shikon's today!" Miroku suggested. "Shippo, the young paper boy that sorts papers here, wants to come with us."
"But he can't even buy anything yet with the amount of money he earns." Inuyasha said, widening his eyes, increasing the dramatic level of his taunt.
"Well, that's why he wants to come with us, so we can pay for him."
"Fine, let's go before lunch break's over."
Kagome and Sango were gorging them selves on fried and steamed shrimp, deliciously seasoned steak, and golden brown fries when the spotted Inuyasha and a unfamiliar man with brown hair like Sango's .
"Who's that?" Sango asked, looking impressed. Kagome smirked, from her acknowledgement of Sango, she knew that the woman was impressed by the young lawyer's looks. And since she already knew Inuyasha, she must've meant the other lawyer with him.
"I don't know, but I guess we'll find out." Kagome replied.
Author's notes: So? Was it good or still bad? I introduced several of the characters that will be pretty important later on ( so there Ave-chan!) LOL. But you'll know more of the characters as the plot goes on.
Review! I'd like to know what you think.
See ya in next chappie!!
