"Speech"
'Thoughts'
--
Kagome was currently lying back on her luxurious executive leather seat with her eyes closed in the comfort of her warm office, thinking events that happened within a space of not even 48 hours.
'God. Everyday becomes more hectic than the last. First it was Sesshoumaru. Now it's Sango.'
She had just arrived back at the office after dropping off Sango and her two children back to her house from the airport. From the conversation she had with Sango on the freeway to her house, Miroku didn't seem likely to be on the good side of his wife.
'Knowing Sango, Miroku might be laying dead with a few bloody bumps on his head in some dark corner alley way.' she shuddered at the thought and then her eyes snapped opened as the phone on her desk rang.
Ring Ring!
Kagome looked at the phone that started the whole domino effect. The cause of all her trouble had began right here, in this very office, with this very annoying phone that always went off when she needs peace and quite. She glared at it with something that people would describe as killer look (A/N: not the charming one ").
Ring Ring!
The noise suddenly dissipated her out of her thoughts of wishing to kill the phone. She reached over to pick it up, pausing slightly to pray just before picking up the phone.
"Yes!" Kagome answered into the phone with a confident voice even though her inner self was twitching with anticipation.
"I'm waiting downstairs for you" a male voice sounded from the phone and then the dial tone was heard.
Kagome looked at the clock on her desk swore loudly inside the soundproofed office. It was already 3:15pm. Sesshoumaru had come to pick her so that they could pick up Kouta together, not that she could've picked him up herself because she didn't bring her car because a certain someone insisted that they give her a ride to work.
'I think I need to change religion. God obviously isn't on my side, maybe one of the saints can help me. No they probably would love to torture me as well like god.'
She sighed and counted to 10 slowly in her head to get rid of any thoughts of trying to find someway of hurting god. She shook her head and bowed in defeat.
'At least now I have Sango who can help me get rid of him' Kagome smiled to herself.
With that in mind, she straightened her posture and collected her unopened briefcase from on top of her desk and walked out of the room.

Kagome stared at the piece of paper in her hand currently hoping that it would either burn into nothing or just disappear.
'I hate you fate. I hate you god and any other entity up there that is contributing to make my life miserable.' Kagome screamed in her mind, her eyes narrowed and aim straight at the Kouta.
Kouta laughed nervously seeing his mother becoming quite murderous at the notice she held in her hands. The notice was about annual family sport carnival held annually on a Saturday from nine am to the late afternoon depending how quickly each event is. It was family affair where members of a family competed against other families and then there were always the child and parent races. His mother was usually delighted to attend the many activities the school held annually with him but with her current company, Kouta thought his mother would rather break a leg…literally. In other words, his mother would rather hurt herself than go with Sesshoumaru, his "neighbor/father" to the annual sports carnival, but Kouta had long decided when he had received the notice that he was going to inform his father, who looked very fit even though he not much of an athlete with his rather lithe figure to have a better chance at winning some races. Also having a father to the event was a big plus. Content with his thoughts about the carnival, Kouta leaned back into the seat of his father's car and watched his parents have their little afternoon "friendly chat".
"Kagome, staring at the little piece of paper won't make it disappear into air." Sesshoumaru said as navigated through the buy city in a car that was currently heading home.
"What makes you say such a thing?" Kagome asked trying to put on a confused face. "You never know, if I just wind the window down a bit here and lean my hand slightly to the side, a miracle might just happen you know."
She pressed the button on the side of the door that should've made the automatic window roll down, that is should have.
"Don't bother with that idea the windows are locked. This notice will be in my care so that nothing will happen to it." Sesshoumaru had reached out a hand and plucked the piece of innocent piece of paper from Kagome's fingers.
"Hey, give that back. You don't need to worry about that notice. It's nothing to concern you about." Kagome said insistently, making a move to get the piece of paper back from Sesshoumaru only to find that she couldn't spot the piece of paper.
"As the paternal father of Kouta, I am regarded as a family member so I will be attending this little gather with you and Kouta whether you like it or not. End of story." Sesshoumaru ended the conversation about regarding the sports carnival.
"Bu-- " Kagome tried to protest only to be cut off by Sesshoumaru.
"End of story."
Kagome sunk down on her chair, preferring to sulk in her seat, a habit that she picked up when she was in a relationship with Sesshoumaru.
"Mom, didn't you say sulking makes people look childish?" Kouta popped into the conversation that his parents were having.
"Really! Did you mother really say that Kouta?" Sesshoumaru asked with a rather interested expression.
"Yeah. She always says that to me whenever I sulk." Kouta answered with a pout.
"No I don't." Kagome said to defend herself against Kouta's word, with a wide eyed expression, a reaction from the look and rather interested voice from Sesshoumaru.
"I'll let you in a little secret Kouta, your mother always sulks whenever she can't get her way, even when people give in and she keeps on sulking sulks until someone buys her lunch or something. She's a very interesting creature to study." Sesshoumaru said with a smirk.
"Don't treat me like a science object Sesshoumaru. In case you have forgotten, I'm a human." Kagome said getting fired up at hearing Sesshoumaru's description of her being a creature.
"Really?" Kouta asked curiously, totally ignoring his mother and preferring to listen to his "father".
"Really." Sesshoumaru replied back.
Kagome groaned in her seat and tried to tune out of the conversation the two were having. The two male in the car was getting along quite well, too well for her liking. Even though Kagome still felt a miniscule bit of something for Sesshoumaru, but nothing was going to happen because he still has a wife. Something Kagome had hoped very much to one day become.
'They're getting on too well' Kagome thought in her head.
'I will NOT be hurt again by the same man who had hurt me deeply once, and I definitely won't allow you to hurt my only child. No, nothing will come from this.' Kagome announced determinedly in her mind.
'And Sango will make sure of this'
