The voice over the television made the room seem silent, all occupants turned their attention to the afternoon news station. The screen flickered before becoming clear.
"Mr. Yukinou" A woman, clad in a baby pink suit, threw a microphone in the face of her victim, "Tell us why you have chosen to speak to the world against Mr. Taikou and a miss Higurashi?"
A man, around his thirty's, openly took the mike from the overly perky woman. Coughing the dead away from his voice he began his speak. "It is a Miss Higurashi who has bumped my career into the gutter, and Mr. Taikou is to blame." The man accused. Kagome swallowed a lump that had formed unnoticed. "A 'well rounded' business does NOT hire inexperienced school girl's; and that is what Mr. Taikou had done. This 'school girl' ruined not only my career but also a VERY important file I had been working on for months." Frowning with murder in his eyes, his last words seemed to burn through her. "It took this 'school girl' mere seconds to trash my life down the shredder."
Kagome cringed at the memory, it had been only three hours since the incident, and already it was spreading across every news station. Sesshomaru kept his eye's nailed on the 'school girl' in question, all the while he twisted a sheet of blank paper in his well manicured fingers.
"I swear I didn't mean harm, I thought it was the mail slot. How was I supposed to know they make built in shredders?" Kagome pleaded, her anxiety glittering in the pools of her eyes.
Sesshomaru ordered everyone to leave, when Kagome Stood to drag herself from his office he commanded her to sit back down. Turning his attention back to the news he settled back in his chair.
"What last words do you have for Mr. Taikou?" The news woman asked. Kagome swore she saw the woman wink into the camera, but was unsure. Mr. Yukinous's smirk haunted her, and a shiver riffled down her backside.
"As a matter of fact," Mr. Yukinou began, "I have more then just simple last words, I carry a challenge. If Mr. Taikou can find a way to keep his business equal or above his most competitive rivals, all the while nurturing a 16 year old teenager in his corporation, then I will publicly Apologize for my..." Mr. Yukinou seemed to cringe at the idea of the next words he would say. "I will publicly apologize for my rudeness" he swore.
Sesshomaru grinned; an evil narrow eyed grin. Kagome found no doubt, Sesshomaru was her nightmare. Flicking the television off Kagome sighed heavily, so heavy that it rang clear through her bosses demon ears.
Sesshomaru pondered over the public challenge his previous employer had forged. The demon lord couldn't care less for humans baiting, but an idea struck him. An idea that brought a frown to his normally placid features.
If Sesshomaru Turned down this challenge, he was positive to fall behind his brother and that devilish Naraku. The idea would have churned his stomach, is he ever would let emotion seep through his brick barriers.
Gritting back a snarl Sesshomaru turned to the school girl, her head was plastered in both round cheeks, and her eyes sparkled up at him with wonder. Hatred seeped into his core, he wanted this girl to cringe at the sight of him, he wanted her to fear him like when she had first walked into his office.
"Are you angry?" Kagome asked soothingly, her voice hinting a bit of uncertainty. "What are you going to do about Mr. Yukinou?"
Ignoring the girls annoying taste of questions, Sesshomaru calmly ordered a few employers into his office. Three broad shouldered men trembled in fear, Kagome held back a suppressed chuckle.
Jotting a message onto a sheet of paper, Kagome watched as Sesshomaru's delicate fingers curved over ever elegant slant. When he handed the note to the three men, it was his sly voice that awoke her from her silent day dream.
"Make sure this finds it's way into every news station in Tokyo," Sesshomaru ordered. Turning to Kagome he waved the men off with a delicate finger.
"You!" He stated out of the blue. Gazing overKagome's sweet blue mini skirt, and crisp white blouse he frowned. "Go to front desk, ORDER Sango to send a new beige suit to your address. Being my new trainee I can't have you walking around dressed like a...child."
Kagome felt hurt rise to her throat, nodding she left with Sesshomaru's command. Only when she had boarded into the elevator, and was walking towards Sango did she realize the extent of his words.
She wasn't fired! In fact, she was given the position of Trainee. But what reason would Sesshomaru have for treating her with kindness? Remembering the television program she had been watching she refrained from her new light towards her top boss.
Sesshomaru just wanted to stay near the top, not to mention he was determined on getting above this Inuyasha. She had heard from a few spreading rumors that her boss was equal to this Inuyasha, but both wanted to be the top man. A Naraku, who seemed to product 'Japanese porn', was on top, and their most hated enemy along with one another.
Kagome shook her head at the difficulty of the situation. All three men seemed pigheaded for having this passion, although Kagome was pleased to find her boss DID have a passion to lean on.
Remembering Sesshomaru's demand Kagome smiled weakly a Sango; front desk. "I'm sorry but Mr. Taik-," stopping mid sentence she considered changing her tactic, after all, Sesshomaru did say to 'demand', not ask.
"I wish to place an order" Kagome demanded, her tone trying to sound above a squeak but failing. No matter what she possibly did, her voice would always carry that lighthearted tone.
Sango held back a chuckle, but played along rather then laugh her thoughts aloud. "And what 'order' would that be Miss. Higurashi?"
Smacking her lips together she tightened them in thought, "I will need a suit, preferably Beige but whatever color you have will do." Kagome grinned inside with her accomplishment. Pushing aside her own greedy tactic to back away from the awful beige color Sesshomaru had demanded, Kagome finally turned and strolled out the revolving door.
After a long walk home Kagome was surprised to find her house completely empty. Shouting warning's of her arrival home, she came across the oh-so-famous note. Skimming the hand written letters of her mothers handwriting Kagome crumpled it up to throw it in the trash bin.
Apparently Her mother and grandfather, along with Souta, had left to have dinner. Leaning against the refrigerator Kagome threw her hands up in defeat, not only was her summer in tatters, but her so called mother wished her to starve to her death.
Shuffling up the stairs, Kagome was relieved to have something break the silence. Sadly realizing the noise was only the buzz of her alarm clock she pushed her bedroom door ajar. Kagome's eyes rounded like saucers, not only was her room a complete mess, but reporters handled her belonging like treasures in a museum.
Microphones were shoved in her face the moment they realized she had appeared.
"What is it like to be a partner in Taikou corps?" A reported shouted.
"What do you have to say against the allegations against you?" another reporter asked. Realizing it to be the same preppy reporter from the noon time news, Kagome snorted at the question.
"We've heard you and Mr. Taikou are now master and trainee. When do you move into his estate?" A chubby faced man asked.
Kagome reeled at the question. Live with Sesshomaru, live with her boss!
"I'm sorry, you must be wrongly informed, me and my boss are in no predicament to live with one another. It's just a trainee spot," Kagome knew her response was false the moment the crowd in her room silenced.
As Kagome suffered from news reporter harassment's, Sesshomaru growled at the television. He hadn't know the woman had left, he wasn't yet completed with explaining her position.
Of course trainee and Master lived within the same estate, after all, he was to train her. His business was not only an 'in the office' kind of work. It consisted of restless nights, and homework. Things such as these had to be taught within a time circle.
Rubbing his temples Sesshomaru thundered a vicious growl, this woman was work.
Flickering the television to silence Sesshomaru rose from his desk, grabbing his coat he headed for the door. This Sesshomaru had to save a well unwanted trainee.
Author Note: I apologise, I had to delete thisstory about five times because of complications. I'm a bit bumbed because I had to delete review that were rather nice and complemented my chapter one. I have figured out how to use this site, so in the future I hope for the problem I had on this story to never happen again. I am not a begginer writter, and nor do I choose to become a writter for a career. I enjoy writting, it's become my passion. I would rather write for the love of it, then to write for money. And not to mention, I'm not good enough to become a writter, lol, . Thank you for the reviews, I love them all.
