Sesshomaru vowed to kill his day care attendant. As it just so happened, three children decked in suits had barged into his office minutes before. The children had clung to him, and in return caused him to be momentarily shocked.
The name Kagome rang through this thoughts, he'd fire her, but she wasn't even staff; Just an intern. Restricting his anger from showing on his face and in his voice he dialed for front desk.
His secretary was never of any help when it came to problems, the only reason he kept her was because she typed fast, and knew how to work a copier (which he didn't). She is situations like this he called...
Sango's voice came across the intercom, "Front desk; I have no life, so how may I help you?"
"Sango" Sesshomaru's spoke in his silky smooth coolness. From on the other side of the connection he could hear Sango straighten up, stuttering she apologized for her rudeness and promised it to never happen again.
Ignoring both the comment, and apology he demanded his new 'intern' be sent to his office. Sango asked 'why for,' but the ice prince disconnected her from his speaker phone. He knew she'd obey his wishes, there was no need to explain himself.
While Sesshomaru waited at his desk Kagome ran through halls, checking each and every room; Rin at her heels. "Where could they have gone!" she asked herself, the fear in her voice pitifully covered.
Rin didn't answer, she didn't have time enough. For the intercom blared with Sango's voice:
Higurashi, Kagome to Mr. Taikou's office. Repeat: Higurashi, Kagome to Mr. Taikou's office.
"This cant be good" Kagome thought aloud, Rin nodded her head in agreement. This could never be good.
Later that night...
Kagome slicked into the house, walking past her mother and grandfather without accnolagment she carried herself to her bedroom.
"What's wrong with her?" Grandfather asked. All eyes turned to Kagome retreating up the stairs. "Probably tired out" Her mother answered, yet all doubted it.
In another case...
Shutting her bedroom door behind her, Kagome fell across her bed; her head hitting the side wall. Grasping her forehead in her hands she sat up. "I cant believe he fired me" Kagome thought aloud to herself, "I thought I was doing well...Except for the whole kids getting out thing that is."
Dropping back to her bed Kagome grabbed her pillow and snuggled into its comfort, she needed comfort. Kagome was close to drifting off to sleep when the phone rang. Cursing the sudden interference, Kagome plugged out its insistent ringing.
Finally it stopped.
Sighing in relief Kagome Stared up at the ceiling, contemplating the days events.
"Kagome, phone for you" Mrs. Higurashi called from downstairs. Burying her head into her pillow Kagome's response was muffled. Kagome's mother sounded more authoritative, "It's from Taisho.inc."
Kagome threw her pillow from her bed, why would they call," Biting her bottom lip she hoped it wasn't a law suit. Jumping from her bedroom door, and hopping down the stairs she kindly took the phone from her mother.
"Hello, Kagome?"
Kagome instantly remembered Sango's voice. "Don't forget, you'll be needed at work tomorrow" she informed the teenager.
Kagome pulled the phone from her ear, and covered the speaker phone. Recovering from her shock she pulled the phone quickly back to her ear, "I don't understand, I was-"
"-Fired, yes, I know" Sango sang happily. Remembering her talk with Sesshomaru Taikou she grinned, "Mr. Taikou had a change of mind" she explained.
Kagome grunted, sounds more like he had a change of heart. "But what will I be doing? are you saying he's going to trust me with the children again?" she asked.
Sango quickly admitted that they would think of a job for her to do, then explained she had to go. Hanging up Sango grinned up at Sesshomaru.
"You better come up with something she can do" He reminded her. Sango rose from the chair where she sat comfortably, placing the phone back on the receiver she reminded her boss of why he should keep the young girl.
"Remember" Sango warned, "It would be bad for your business if a school girl went to the press, and told them that she was personally turned away." Sango relished in her well told lie, she knew Kagome well enough; (although she knew her only five minutes) she would never go to the poperatsy.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes out the window, he would not loose to Inuyasha or that damned Naraku. His Manga and book company would thrive, and end up victorious. Sesshomaru never liked Naraku, the guy was pure evil, even more so then himself. And as for Inuyasha, he despised his younger brother.
The next day...
Kagome stood in front of the tall building, she would have rathered not going back, but because she had no choice she entered the building. The vanilla scent from before struck her.
"Hello Kagome" Sango waved from behind her desk, "You'll be needing this." Sango waved a plastic card in her hand before placing it back on her desk. Joining Sango Kagome kindly took it. "You wont regret this."
Kagome smiled warmly, but somewhere deep inside her she felt like she would regret this. After boarding the elevator, Kagome realized she had forgotten to ask what her job was to be. She was being forgetful.
Kagome pressed the release button, after a delay it burst open to greet golden eyes. The unexpected male rushed into the elevator, without asking her floor, he pressed the top button.
Hushing her trembling lips, Kagome pressed her spine in a corner. The stranger had thick white long hair, and golden eye's; he reminded her of Mr. Taikou. Mr. Taikou however had longer hair, with a silky straight gleam. The difference between both men also had to do with skin tone, Sesshomaru had a light cream complexion, while this stranger was a bit tan.
Lost in thought, Kagome didn't know she had reached the top floor till she felt (rather then saw) the still unknown stranger exit from the elevator. Curiosity killed the cat, Kagome knew this, but she couldn't resist finding out what this stranger was heading for.
Exiting the elevator, Kagome followed from a safe distance. Unexpectedly the young man entered the room she had been in only the other day. Instinct told her to flee, that she is getting herself knee deep in trouble, but once again, curiosity killed the cat.
"Damn you Sesshomaru" The stranger began. Kagome leaned towards the door, it was half closed. In an attempt to get better hearing she opened the door a bit, causing a loud, silence breaking, creakkk.
alarmed by the sudden noise, Kagome lost her footing and fell into the room. The stranger surprised Kagome even more, kneeling down where she lay fallen the Stranger asked, "What's this?"
Gaping up at the golden eye'd stranger Kagome narrowed her eyes, How dare he call her a thing! Her scowl however left when she realized he resembled a dog sitting in the position he now was.
Rising to her feet Kagome Brushed her clothing wrinkle free. Sesshomaru glared at her, he remembered telling Sango to find her a position. He should have also mentioned to lock his office. Now to unwanted guest wanted something or another from him.
"What do you want Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru asked his brother, turning back to the girl he asked her what she was doing up here.
Kagome blinked
Curiosity killed the cat, and this cat was no exception.
Later...
Collecting mail was easier then she had thought, even easier then watching kids. After Inuyasha was dragged out by security Sesshomaru had given Kagome a look that could melt ice. Calling for Sango he commanded her to come to his office.
Once the woman appeared her eyes widened to set eyes on Kagome, gasping she had grabbed Kagome's arm and they had ran out of his office. Kagome had been relieved to leave Mr. Taikou's presence, even if she had run away, atleast she didn't have to suffer his gaze anymore.
Kagome went through isles on the 22nd floor collecting envelopes, Sango had explained what the Envelopes were, and of their importance.
"Now, these" Sango held up a dark tinged yellow envelope to Kagome, "These are important. Our customers send us files on their pieces, then our staff looks through them and makes any and all error corrections. Your job will be to collect these envelopes, and Drop them into the mail slot. Got it?"
Now Kagome was collecting envelopes. The women and men, sitting behind their working desks, didn't pay her any mind as they threw their work at her. Talk about a curtesy call.
This was her last floor before she could retire to home, and to be honest she would rather be in the comfort of her bedroom. Noticing the crack in the wall Kagome dragged her heavy cart over to it, dropping a few envelopes into its darkness she was sure she had heard a slight buzzing noise.
Ignoring the noise she continued filling the shoot with Envelopes.
"What are you doing?" a child's voice asked from behind her, Turning to the voice Kagome grinned at the sight of Rin, a lolly pop in her hand.
Ignoring the asked question Kagome placed her hands on her hips, "What are you doing all the way up here?"
Workers past by them, but paid no attention to their meddling. Realizing no one ever paid the wondering Ruin attention she settled back to filling the shoot with envelopes. Rin was wondering the floors because, nobody ever noticed she was around.
"What are you doing?" Rin asked again. Explaining that she was filling important files into the mail slot to be shipped out, she grabbed another handful of Envelopes.
"But that's not the Mail slot" Rin informed Kagome, pointing to a near by door she chuckled, "That's the mail room, the box is in there."
Frowning Kagome eyed the slot she was using now. If the mail slot was in the mail room, then what was this? Her horrors were answered when she remembered the humming noise from before. Her instincts told her she knew what this was, but she asked anyway. "Then what is this?"
"Oh that? Just the shredder," then the child skipped off for another lolly pop.
