Chapter Four:

"…Four tenths of a millimeter too long on the north wall of the south room," Kagome muttered to herself as she poured over the blueprints. "Which then makes the east wall slanted…1.5 degrees too far."

Stupid Inuyasha! This is all his fault. If he would have just bothered to pay the slightest attention, I wouldn't have to spend all day on this. Kagome silently cursed the man she had met this morning.

(A/N: Anyone following this because I'm not confused look Gomen, I told you I didn't know what I was talking about…)

A soft knock interrupted her analysis of the building.

"Come in," Kagome called, not bothering to look up.

"Higurashi?" a soft voice interrupted.

"Hai?" Kagome asked.

"Ye still working?"

It was her boss, Kaede Mikado. Kaede was like a second mother to Kagome.

"Hai," Kagome answered. "I need to get this blueprint fixed."

"Go home, Higurashi," Kaede said. "It's already past seven."

"That late?" Kagome asked.

"Ye've been working the whole day," Kaede said.

"I just need to fix some things," Kagome said. I wouldn't be stuck here if a certain someone would have just looked at it and given me suggestions. Kagome thought irritably.

"How was the meeting with the president of Hanyou Corp?" Kaede asked.

Kagome groaned. "Kaede-san, let's just say I did not get a good impression of Hanyou Corp's president," Kagome said.

"What happened?" Kaede asked.

"I found out that the president, Takashi Inuyasha, is a pompous old windbag," Kagome fumed. "He didn't even take a glance at my designs!"

"So that's what's been troubling ye," Kaede said.

"He had the gall to tell me 'everything is perfect.'" Kagome ranted.

"Higurashi, I think you are a workaholic," Kaede said.

"What do you mean, Kaede-san?" Kagome asked.

"You work too much, child," Kaede said.

Kagome sweatdropped. "I am not!" she protested. "I may be the tiniest bit of a perfectionist but I am certainly not a workaholic."

"Then go home and stop worrying over these designs," Kaede said.

"But they need to be…" Kagome started to say.

"It won't kill Hanyou Corp if the designs aren't finished today," Kaede said, "Go home and relax."

Kaede-san," Kagome said,

Kaede held up a hand to silence her. "Go home Kagome. I will be back in 5 minutes. If ye are not gone by then, I will kick you out meself."

"Kaede-san!" Kagome said.

"Five minutes, Higurashi," Kaede said, walking out of Kagome's office.

(A/N: You might be wondering why Kaede had called Kagome both by her first and last name. Well, I decided that in order for Kaede to become the mother figure I described her to be, I wanted a sort of personal relationship and I thought that a first name basis would help. Gods, I ramble too much, gomen)

Kagome sighed, having no choice, she dumped all her tools into a drawer, grabbed her purse and left.

"This is all stupid Takashi Inuyasha's fault," Kagome muttered. "He's such a lazy idiot!"

Turning back, she looked at the blueprints on her desk. Imagining it was Inuyasha's face, Kagome did the most childish thing: she stuck out her tongue at it. Then turning on her heel, she left her office.

Eri sat impatiently on a stool, waiting for Kagome to come home. She had gotten off work at 5:30 and rushed to get home. She wanted to initiate her plan of setting up Kagome and…what was his name? Oh yes, Sesshoumaru together. But if Kagome wasn't here, she couldn't set her plan in motion.

Eri stared outside and found only darkness staring back at her. A shiver ran down her back as she looked into the darkness. Something about it unnerved her.

Finally, she head Kagome's car engine pull up in front of the house. Eri opened the door before Kagome could get her keys into the keyhole.

"You're late," Eri said.

"Uhh, for what?" Kagome asked.

"You said we were going to the Undead's Haven tonight," Eri said.

"When did I say that?" Kagome asked.

"This morning, when you were leaving," Eri reminded.

Kagome thought back to this morning and her frantic mood when she found out she had overslept just a little. Thinking to the conversation, Kagome's eyes widened when she recalled what she had said. "Eri," Kagome held a warning in her voice.

"Yes?" Eri said innocently.

"I did not say we would go to the Undead's Haven. I said we would talk about it when I got home," Kagome said, fire blazing in her eyes.

Eri sweatdropped. "Uhh, heh, we're discussing it now," she said nervously.

Kagome brought her hand up to her head. "I can't believe I almost let you talk me into going," she said.

"Oh come on Kags," Eri pleaded.

"Eri, give me one good reason why we should go," Kagome asked.

I need to set you up with Sesshoumaru! Eri mentally screamed. "I…uhh…need to meet someone there," Eri said.

"Go by yourself," Kagome said. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

"Oh no you're not!" Eri said, she moved to block Kagome from going upstairs. "You're coming to the Undead's Haven with me."

"Eri," Kagome whined. "I really don't want to."

"Come on Kags, do you really trust me to go by myself?" Eri asked.

Kagome hesitated and thought it over. "Aww man!" Kagome groaned.

Eri smiled. "Come on," she said, tugging Kagome upstairs to get changed.

"How do you manage to get me to go?" Kagome asked.

"Skills," Eri replied.

Throwing open her friend's closet, Eri pawed through the clothes. She picked out a dark blue tank top that showed a little bit of Kagome's midriff and a black skirt that reached about mid-thigh.

Eri practically shoved Kagome into the bathroom so she could get changed. Once changed, Kagome sat still and allowed Eri to put a bit of blue eye shadow on.

"Why do I have to get dressed up when you are the one that's meeting someone?" Kagome asked.

"Because," Eri said. And that was all she said.

"Are you going to finish your sentence?" Kagome asked.

"No," Eri said. "That's all the answer you're gonna get."

Eri pulled Kagome down the steps and forced her into the car. Getting into the driver's seat, Eri drove towards the Undead's Haven. Phase one was complete and now she was on to phase two.

Kagome sat in the car, feeling the familiar creepy sensation she had last night, as they approached the Undead's Haven. Why do I always get this feeling when I come here? Another voice interjected into her head. Maybe because of him

No it's not!

Yes it is and you know it!

NO, it's not!

Deny it all you want, but you and I know that it's because of him.

Oh, shut up!

Kagome almost burst out laughing when she realized that she was arguing with herself. The only thing that stopped her from laughing out loud was her knowledge that Eri would probably have called her crazy and would have recommended a psychiatrist.

Eri pulled into a parking space and rushed her to the door of the club. Opening the door, the familiar loud music greeted them. Eri led her to one of the tables and told her to stay there. Kagome watched as Eri disappeared into the crowd, swallowed by the sea of people in the club. Sighing, Kagome pulled up a seat and sat down, glancing around at the people that were there. Her eyes roamed the club, pausing briefly at the dance floor.

Kagome shivered briefly as she remembered Sesshoumaru and how his arms were wrapped around her body as they danced to the music. Shaking her head to rid herself of that image, Kagome's eyes swept the room again. She was gazing intently at something that she did not notice someone approaching her.

"Kagome Higurashi,"

Kagome froze for an instant, not believing she was hearing correctly. She turned her head and for an instant was afraid to see who it was. She saw a mass of silver hair and her mind instantly flashed to Inuyasha's smirking face. But when she reassessed herself, Inuyasha's face was replaced by another who had silver hair.

"Sesshoumaru?" she said.

"You have decided to grace this place with your presence," Sesshoumaru's melodious voice said.

"M-my friend forced me to…" Kagome said, finding out that she couldn't finish her sentence.

There were those intense golden eyes again. Kagome could not look at them.

"It pleases me to see you here," Sesshoumaru said. He offered her his hand. "Dance with me."

Kagome couldn't say no. Sesshoumaru brought her to the dance floor and their bodies were intimately close. Kagome felt so safe when she was with Sesshoumaru. They did not notice a pair of eyes watching them from the darkest corner of the club.

A/N: Okay, maybe that chapter was okay. And sorry for the cliffy, it was mean of me! Gomen. Please tell me if you liked it!
