Thank you for reviewing! This is my new chappie, and if I don't get more than 10 reviews then no update. If that sounds unfair, tell me and I'll explain it to you. Now, on wit it! -More dramatic twists will begin.
The day had arrived. Kagome had to live with the Saito family for one month. She was already a little nervous as she knew Sesshomaru would torture her to no end.
Kagome sighed as she walked out of her house, three suitcases in tow. She had to have her valuables. Now she only wondered what their house looked like and where she got to stay. 'Hopefully my room is big and beautiful!' Kagome giggled and continued down the street.
Sesshomaru
Sesshomaru watched from his window as cars drove by. The house was going to be very different with Kagome in it. In fact, knowing where she was to stay, Sesshomaru expected it to be even worse. He did not expect a good nights sleep. Not with that thing in his near, very near, presence.
Sesshomaru got up slowly and walked to the kitchen, skipping breakfast. He never ate breakfast like his brother and father. Akikyo never got up this early, so he never could tell if she ate or not. But the sight of Inu Yasha in the mornings always made Sesshomaru want to smirk.
Inu Yasha would walk down the steps in full attire… of airplane pajamas of course. And sometimes he would come down in just underwear with Scooby Doo on them. He would never notice he was outside like that until he felt a little waking breeze. Sesshomaru would just walk past him and take the car.
But not this morning.
Kagome's name filled the air as everyone was up, trying to make the house decent. Sesshomaru saw no point, as Kagome most likely lived in worse every day.
"Sesshomaru, make yourself useful, would you, and make up you room. She can't live in a pig sty."
"But her apartment is probably worse, you know." Sesshomaru hated being told what to do, but with a glare from his father, he settled with making up his room. Sides', if she saw her new boss's room a mess, she could humiliate him at work.
So now we can find Sesshomaru, cleaning his already perfect room. What a weird family.
Kagome
Kagome had arrived to work early, waiting for Sesshomaru. To pass the time, she decided to play on his computer.
She quickly found his Atari game and started enjoying her time alone. Of course, after a few minutes she became deprived and bored. So she decided to look at his documents.
"Nothing interesting there… Oh my… I need to see this one." Kagome double clicked on a document titled '10 Things I hate about Higurashi'.
She decorates my room like a child
She smells like a human female does after fragrance abuse
She interrupts me while I'm working
She has the loudest shriek
Her finger nails are never clean
Her hair is the home of a rat
She eats me out of office and home
Her female criticism is far to wrong and ludicrous
She acts like a two year old girl
I'll get back to you on this one.
Kagome glared at the screen in mistaken expectation that the document would explode. But before she finished her staring contest, she got an idea.
She would change it to 10 things he likes about Higurashi. Yes, perfect.
So she started typing.
She makes my room spiffy and child rated.
She smells like a human female does after showers in flowers.
She 'gives advice' while I'm working.
She has the loudest and most beautiful shriek.
Her finger nails are always painted and pretty.
Her hair is frizzy, but very shiny and dual able.
She only eats a little.
Her 'help' is always wanted.
She acts like a well behaved two year old girl.
I love her so much, I can't think of one.
Kagome smiled. It was so perfect. All she would have to do is get him to look at it.
Kagome carefully saved and then logged out. She was just in time as well, as she reached her desk as Sesshomaru opened the door.
"Hi Sesshomaru!", she spoke loudly. He simply glanced at her and nodded before taking his seat at his desk.
"Higurashi, what have you been doing? My computer was not on." Kagome giggled.
"Nothing dear. I just played Atari. I don't have it over here." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.
"Watch it." Sesshomaru then remembered his plan to flatter her. "I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean that. Maybe we can get Atari on your computer."
"That's okay. Thanks for trying to be flattering, but it's not working. I have a party to go to." Kagome stood up the same time Sesshomaru did, and he marched over to her.
"Fine. But you must be back quickly. I have to take you home. Tomorrow you must work over time here. Have fun." Sesshomaru watched as she glared at him, and walked out, grabbing her coat.
"I guess I'll let it slide this time. Revenge isn't working very well." Sesshomaru opened up his document on Kagome's flaws, only to find it changed to, The 10 Things I like about Higurashi, Kagome. Sesshomaru flexed his claws in irritation. This female had gotten into his documents. Sesshomaru's eyes roamed the page until they came to number 10.
I love her so much, I can't think of one.
Sesshomaru stood fiercely and shoved his chair at the desk, forgetting to rid the monitor of the document as he stormed out of his office.
Somewhere behind him, a shadow crept in, smiling devilishly.
Kagome
"Sango, can't you drive a little bit faster?" 'It sucks this way. Sesshomaru drives like a mad man, and Sango like a teenager, scared of crashing. They are perfect for each other.'
"I'm trying, honestly I am. It's just, this car is new! I don't want one scratch on it."
Kagome sighed. There was no changing Sango. Kagome took to going through her coat pocket. Her eyes widened when her fingers touched something hard and hand size. Sesshomauru's cell phone. 'I must have gotten this when I 'decorated' his room.' Kagome looked at the sweating Sango, being honked at, I might add, and grinned.
"Guess what I have Sango."
"Wha-what." Sango had gotten cut off by two 18 wheelers as she stammered.
"I have Sesshomaru's cell phone! Oh what fun we can have!"
"Ye-yes. Fun. Oh! You know what? Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru are so strict and together, that their cell numbers are only one digit different. Talk about getting the others calls."
Kagome nodded. "I wonder what ring tone he has. Sango. Call me."
"I don't know the number, plus it's bad to talk on the cell when driving in a car. Mostly my new one." Kagome frowned.
"Fine." Just then, the phone began to ring. "Oh! He has a Phantom of the Opera ring tone… Okay, that's unexpected." Kagome picked up the phone and answered, putting it on speaker phone.
"Hello?", she asked diligently.
"Hello, m'am. Is Mr. Saito there?"
"Not at this moment, may I take a message?" Kagome grinned at her phone skills.
"Yes. Please tell him that his bride needs to pick up her dress today at 5, or we will be giving it to the other guy whom offered."
Kagome chocked. Fluffy-Sama's bride? 'Oh my gosh.'
"I'll-I will tell him. Thank you."
"You sound like you didn't know he was marrying."
"I didn't. Who is it exactly?"
"Oh, Ms. Kikyou Minoa. I think they are such a cute couple. Well, thanks again. Bye."
"Thanks for informing me. Bye." Kagome hung up and sank into her chair.
"Depressed? I'm so sorry he is getting married." Sango attempted to comfort her friend.
"It's not because I can't have him now. It's because that means Kikyou is cheating on Inu Yasha. She's going to marry his brother!"
Sango couldn't hold her laughter at her friends attempt to cover her feelings for Sesshomaru.
"Have they ever even really spoken at all?", asked Sango bringing up points.
"Not that I know of. I know Sesshomaru always acted gentlemanly around her, but that was only because it was required of him."
"It's required of him to act like that around you too, but he doesn't."
"yeah, well he led me on. I thought he liked me."
"Didn't we all think that, didn't we all."
"Oh well. At least I still have to work for him. Oh, wait, I don't want to. I can't believe he stole Kikyou from Inu Yasha either!"
"hey, how about we explore his contacts?"
Kagome grinned at the idea. She flipped open the cell, and went to the contacts.
"Father, no. Brother, no. Kikyou, maybe…, Higurashi, no. Let's prank Kikyou."
Kagome hit call and called the girl she was slowing beginning to despise.
"Hello?"
"HILO! I want to order me and my five kids a pizza please."
"I'm sorry for you and your five kids, but this is not a pizza place."
"Oh. Well, in that case, I wanna know where I can get a pizza. Ever since my husband walked out, I haven't been able to take showers, leave the house, brush my teeth… He's hunting me down, I just know it!"
"I'm… sorry, but I can't patch you through. Got to go bye!" Kikyou quickly hung up.
"I must have freaked her out."
"You think?"
"Hey, hey hey! You, you just drive!" Sango shrank back to the windshield and continued driving.
Kagome took contempt with staring at the window. Sesshomaru was going to marry Kikyou… The mad woman.
In Sesshomaru's office
The source of the shadow entered slowly and approached the computer. He had watched Kagome earlier, and found this the perfect chance to make Sesshomaru look like he was in love with Higurashi. The shadow smirked, and slowly walked out of the shadows to reveal the one and only Tashio.
"Now, stupid computer, print it fast." The printer processed it's job as Tashio egged it on. Once it finished, Tashio snatched the list and ran out of the room, not very fast, though, due to his 'beer belly'.
"I'VE GOT IT! I WILL FINALLY CONQUER ALL-", Tashio quickly stopped his speech as many of the workers stared at him quizzically.
"Don't act confuzzled. I'm your boss. Back to work!" Tashio stumbled all the way to the elevator and then to his office. It was perfect.
Kagome and Sango at the party
"Hey Kagome." Hojo, a guy that worked along with Kouga now after his demotion, greeted.
"Hey Hojo." Kagome continued walking as Sango babbled on about nothing important.
"Hey Kagome."
"Hey Mark."
Sango stared dumbly at Kagome.
"You have so many admirers… You're my hero!"
"Oh, peachy. My best friend is my new fan club. The only person at our work with a fan club is Sesshomaru, and I don't know what they see in him at all."
"That's only because you think he stole Inu Yasha's girl."
"Hey Kagome."
"Hey Inu Yasha. Oh, can I speak with you?" Sango was giving her the signal not to tell, but Kagome ignored her.
"Sure." They both walked over to a ear corner as Kagome rested her hand on Inu Yasha's shoulder.
"You might want to watch out for Kikyou. I think she might have some, er, skeletons in her closet."
"How so, Kagome?"
"She might have more admirers than just you…"
"I know. A beauty like her, it's hard not to."
"No… No.. NO! Wait! You don't get what I'm saying do you?"
"Not particularly… What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that you shouldn't ask her out on a date for a while. She has a um, previous engagement."
"Okay Kagome. This is getting weird. I'll keep it in mind. Talk to you later."
"Yeah. Just, I hope she doesn't hurt you. She's already hurt me." Inu Yasha walked off shaking his head at Kagome's sudden attitude difference. 'Maybe she really does need that mental institute.' Inu Yasha continued walking, intending on avoiding Kagome for a long while.
"So, you couldn't tell him?"
"No. I never noticed that it had bothered me so much, and I figured it would bother him more." Sango nodded and led Kagome out to the ice.
"Try to have some fun, Kagome." Kagome grinned and started to skate with Sango. She needed some fun. Especially considering where she was going afterwards.
Tashio
Tashio had taken the print out to his office and started to scan it. Once he saved it, he opened it and started a chain note. His words of advice were left on the bottom:
If you believed it was impossible for the 'ice prince' to love, you are mistaken.
This girl, Kagome Higurashi, has taken his heart.
If you are anti- this, or for it, please, just pass it on.
Soon, the world will know! MUHAHAHAHA!
Anyway, I look forward to my dominance.
Thanks.
-Tashio, your boss
He sent the chain to everyone in his address book, whom happened to be over half of all the employees in the firm. Even some of the most important people in the government. Plans were working out in his favor today.
Kagome
Kagome heard the phone ring again, the Phantom theme playing in tune.
"Sango, sing with me! In sleep he sang to meeeeeeeee, in dreams he cammmmeeeee! That voice which calls to- It stopped…" Kagome looked at Sango who had skated to the other side of the rink, scared stiff. "I DON"T SING THAT BAD!" Sango shook her head.
"It's not that Kagome… Look… behind you…" Kagome looked behind her and found Sesshomaru towering over her form.
"Party's over. Your two hours late."
"Sorry. I lost track of time."
"Sure. Oh, and that's my cell, and if I catch you singing to my ring tone again…" Kagome gulped and surrendered his cell phone. "Now, let's go." Kagome hurriedly said good bye to Sango and the birthday guy, then followed Sesshomaru towards the door.
"Bye Kagome."
"Bye Aritomo."
"Bye Kagome."
"Bye Brandon."
Sesshomaru was getting annoyed by her admirers and picked her up, throwing her on his shoulder.
"Sesshomaru! I was just saying my farewells!"
"Yes, to almost everyone in the whole world. Now stop squabbling."
Kagome pouted, but decided to follow his rule. It wouldn't hurt her to do what he said for once.
"Oh. And Inu Yasha called me at the office and said to pick up Kikyou." Kagome's face grew pale. The woman that had irked her so much was the woman they had to pick up.
Perfect.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"I'll be right back. You can sit up front. I don't want her near me." Kagome complied, but deep in her thoughts criticized his bluffing skills. She already knew he wanted her near. And hadn't she told Inu Yasha to stay away from her? No one would listen to Kagome.
"Okay. I'll make sure it's cozy back there." Sesshomaru marched off, leaving Kagome alone.
Kagome pulled out a tack she had been storing and placed it in the interior, and then back out so that it would not move, and would stay invisible at first sight. Kikyou would not get off easily.
Minutes later, Sesshomaru came back, Kikyou far behind him, carrying bags. Sesshomaru took them from her and pushed them into the trunk.
Kikyou slowly maneuvered her self into the car, right on the tack as planned. Sesshomaru was starting the car when she squealed.
"AH! What was THAT! Kikyou brought her bottom up and looked at the spot on the chair.
She saw nothing.
"Sesshomaru, I think this seat is faltered."
"I have a simple solution. Scoot to the other side.", spoke Kagome. Kikyou gave her the stink eye and scooted over, only to sit on another invisible object.
"Ouch! I think your bloody car is out to get me!"
Sesshomaru sighed and got out of the car, slamming her door open. His perfect seeing eyes caught the object quickly.
"Stupid female. It's a tack, skillfully shoved in my interior."
"Ooooo, Sesshomaru, no need to talk nasty!", chilled Kagome.
Sesshomaru thought about what he had said and narrowed his eyes at Kagome.
"I never would have said that had you have avoided punking miss Minoa. Now, let's go, and stop with your child attitude, Higurashi."
Kagome stuck out her tongue and turned around in her seat. Sesshomaru slammed Kikyou's door and climbed in on his side. He took off at an all time new speed that Kagome swore couldn't even be matched by the speed of light. So she prayed extra hard. He was carrying three now, wasn't he?
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Kagome had expected a mansion, but never anything this large. In fact, she could have sworn it looked familiar. Kagome looked at a small side building and found out why.
There, on the side, was the place they had eaten at last night. They had a restaurant in their house! Kagome subsided and almost hit the ground.
"Stupid girl. Stop drooling and walk." Kagome snapped to reality at the sound of Sesshomaru's cutting voice. Instead of voicing her opinion, Kagome followed, still amazed.
Kagome stood by Sesshomaru as he swung the door open. Staircases leading to more floors were adorned in porcelain angles clad in boas and wrap up shoes. The glass floor stayed clear, revealing a hidden garden under ground with rivers and grass and animals. Kagome was scared just standing on the floor.
"Kikyou, you know where you are to go to. Kagome, follow me." Kagome lifted her bags and followed her boss.
He walked up to flights of stairs and stopped outside of a beautifully embroidered door, plastered with a moon symbol.
"What's with the moon?"
"It's our family symbol." Sesshomaru parted the door from the frame and led her in.
His bed was king sized, with a huge mirror behind it. Beside was a table and a window. At the foot was a treasured memory's trunk with what Kagome imagined to be baby toys and records.
"You will share this room with me. It was not my idea, but my father insisted."
Kagome gasped. That was horrible! "Do not worry. I have thought this through. We will take turns with the bed. I will use it tonight, and you will use the floor. Now, keep your stuff here and follow me. Dinner has been started already by Akikyo." Kagome followed, glad he had been so efficient with their night schedule. But she was ready for dinner- and she hoped it never ended.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
After dinner, Kagome took to the shower and then after, prepared her space on the floor.
The only problem she had had at dinner was the fact that it indeed seemed to last forever, even though she had wanted it too, she had to endure thousands of minutes watching Kikyou flirt with Inu Yasha. She was almost driven crazy! At least Sesshomaru wouldn't want conversation.
Of course, he fell asleep before her, and to her amazement, he snored and snored. She had to use her pillow just to keep it out of her ears.
But had she have looked close enough, she would have seen his smirk, gracefully placed on his face.
