Chapter 2

Rin woke up the next morning well rested. She had picked out what she was going to wear the night before and took a shower. At 12:00 she got into it. It was a navy blue business suit and skirt that went a bit past her knees. She wore a white blouse under the jacket and wore nylon socks. She then put on high heels so she would be as tall as Sesshoumaru.

'I hate it how I have to work for a man. Men are stupid and dumb.' Rin thought as she fixed her hair up into a bun and put two chopsticks in it to hold it up. She then put on a little bit of make-up. It was 12:45 by the time she was done.

She made herself a sandwich, ate it quickly, brushed her teeth, and then took off in her car for the interview. She got to Youkai Computer Industries five minutes before the interview. That meant that she had less then five minutes to get to his office.

She went inside the building and walked directly to the open elevator. She stepped in and looked at the elevator operator. "I need to get to the floor that has Takashi Sesshoumaru's office."

He nodded and pushed the 27th floor button. "You here for the position to be one of his secretaries?" He asked looking her up and down.

"Yes I am. And could you stop doing that. I hate it when men look me over." Rin snapped, she wasn't in a very good mood at the moment. She hated being late and she was going to be late. "Can't this elevator go any faster."

"Sorry. We only have one speed. My name's Shippo. What's yours?"

Rin looked at the man and scanned him quickly. 'He's a demon.' She thought, then she spoke out loud. "I'm Rin."

"Nice to meet you." He replied, then the elevator dinged. "We are here."

Rin looked at her clock and saw that if she hurried she would only be thirty seconds late.

She stepped out of the elevator, flashed her letter at the receptionist and walked through the door marked Takashi.

"You're late." She heard a voice from behind the chair. It was rather cold.

"I'll try to get here earlier next time." She said calmly.

"There might not be a next time." He replied turning his chair around to face her. "Have a seat."

Rin sat down and looked up into his eyes. She saw his eyes flash with recognition then she saw nothing. No emotions at all.

"I'll ask a few questions and I want you to answer them with as less words as possible."

Rin gave a nod.

"Why do you think I should hire you?"

"Why shouldn't you hire me?" She replied. She watched a flash of anger show in his eyes then it was gone.

"How many jobs like this have you held previously?"

"None, sir."

"How many jobs have you had prior to this interview?"

"Two."

"Can you organize files?"

Rin nodded.

Sesshoumaru looked at her closely. Usually people answered the questions with long answers even though he said to make them short, but this woman was different. It was refreshing.

Rin sat there wondering what was going to happen next. Then she heard him stand up. She stood up herself.

"My receptionist Yura will call you sometime this week to tell you if you have the job." He said.

Rin gave a little bow and left the room. She walked to the elevator and pushed the down button. She waited patiently then she heard someone step up behind her. She looked behind her and saw a man who looked exactly like Sesshoumaru except that he had dog-ears and that there was emotion on his face.

"You the one here for the interview?" He asked.

Rin gave a nod.

"I suggest you find somewhere else to work. My half-brother could make your life a living nightmare or worse."

"I'm not scared of men, or demons. Besides, a nightmare from him can't be as bad as the nightmare I'm already in." Rin said coldly.

The man backed away from her a bit. A startled look on his face. "You are just like him. I didn't mean to make you so cold."

Rin just turned away from him as the elevator doors opened and she walked in. The man followed. Then the elevator doors shut.

"You must be Inuyasha Takashi, the vice president of the corporation." Rin said, hating the silence.

"Yes, I am. How'd you know? You aren't a demon, or I would have smelled it."

"I don't need to be a demon to know who people are." Rin said meanly, she hated demons and there 'I'm better than you' attitudes.

"How'd you know?" He asked again.

Rin sighed. "My ex sister-in-law, Sango, is good friends with your wife. She always offered to take me to meet Kagome, but I've been to busy."

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "You're the girl that married Kohaku then divorced him because he was cheating on you."

"Don't mention his name." Rin snarled.

"Man, you really are a lot like Sesshoumaru. I'll hate to see you two clash. Even though it would be really entertaining."

The elevator had arrived at the main floor. Rin got out and went directly to her car. She then started it and drove home.

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk, looking over all the applicants to be his secretary. Most of the resumes were fake, the owner of the resumes just wanted to be working for him. He threw away all of the fake ones and only two were left. Kagura Onigo and Rin Higurugi. If he picked Kagura he knew that she would start thinking he loved her. If he picked Rin…

"Yura." Sesshoumaru said into his intercom.

"Yes, sir?" Yura asked

"Call Higurugi Rin to tell her she got the job and that she starts tomorrow exactly at 7:00 AM. And tell her that if she is late, she'll be fired immediately."

"Yes sir."

Sesshoumaru cleaned off his desk, throwing away every resume he was given, except for Rin's. He looked at it for a moment and put it into his desk drawer. He then started to reply to the email he had gotten from Naraku Tasami, the owner of Tasami Technology and his business rival, when a toad demon burst in.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Sesshoumaru?" The toad asked.

"No Jaken…why don't you take the rest of the day off?" Sesshoumaru said, his voice showing no emotion even though he was annoyed.

"But…sir…I wish to help." Jaken replied.

"You can help me by taking a day off. You've worked yourself too hard and I don't want you fainting. You need to teach the new secretary how to do her job tomorrow. She needs to know how everything works and only you can teach her because I'm busy and you are her fellow secretary."

"Why do you need that human girl to help me? I'm completely able to do this job by myself."

"Jaken," Sesshoumaru said warningly, losing his patience, "Go home!"

Jaken stiffened, gave a bow, and hurried and left…not wanting to feel Sesshoumaru's wrath.

Sesshoumaru smirked then went back to replying to the email.
