Here is the next chapter of Beauty and Brains. I hoped you all like chapter one. Things are really going to get "heated" if you know what I mean. Oh and don't forget to review.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the other characters in the show.

Chapter: 2

The next morning, Kagome was awakened by the birds chirping and the rays of the sun streaming through a window and into her face. Placing a hand over her eyes, she said, "God, who opened the window?" She slowly got up and looked towards the window. Suddenly it occurred to her. 'Wait a minute! My window isn't above my bed.' She looked around the room at every item. 'None of this is mine. Where the hell am I?' Suddenly it all came flooding back to her. Quickly, she picked up her pants and slid it on, then put on her shoes. Looking around again, she saw a door. 'I hope that's a bathroom.' She headed to the door. It was indeed a bathroom and she found what she was looking for- Mouthwash!

When she was done she ran down the stairs and looked for the butler. "Um…Mr. Butler sir, I need my car keys!" she shouted into the empty room. As she wandered around the living room, spinning, she continued to call for the butler. Suddenly she bumped into someone. "Oh thank God!" She spun around and hugged the person tight. "Oh Mr. Butler! Where have you been? I need to leave before I run into…" she trailed off when she felt long hair beneath her fingers. 'Oh God! This is a dream,' she thought to herself as she slowly squeezed her eyes tighter shut, spread her arms so that she was no longer hugging the person, and then began to step backwards. 'When I open my eyes, I'll be…anywhere but here.' When she opened her eyes, she saw none other than Inuyasha smirking at her and she began to walk backwards faster only to hit the railing of the stairs.

Inuyasha walked leisurely towards her, his smirk never leaving his face, until he was so close that he could feel her quickened breath on his neck. "If I knew you were willing and ready to jump into my arms I would have come to your room last night," he said smiling at her.

'Oh he thinks that he's going to intimidate me huh. Well he's got another thing coming.' A slow seductive smile spread across her lips. She put her hands to the waistband of his draw string pants and pulled him towards her so that they were touching intimately. "Yeah? Well I'm here now. Let's see if you're all bark and no bite," she said, the seductive smile still on her face.

"All I wanted was for you to let me," he said as he lowered his mouth towards hers. He stopped just before his mouth touched hers when he saw her eyes widen, heard her heart beat quicken and smelt apprehension radiating from her body. "This is rich. You've never been kissed before?" he asked incredulously.

"N-no…um I mean yes of course I have," she said as her eyes looked everywhere but at him and her tongue quickly darted out to moisten her suddenly dry lips."

"You can't lie to someone with demon blood. I can smell a lie a mile away. But I'm not mad. Rather I'm glad you haven't been kissed," he said then in a whisper added, "because I want to be your first everything." With that, he closed the gap between their lips and he was kissing her.

Kagome just stared wide eyed at him as his mouth lay upon hers. Then he started part her lips with his tongue. She slowly lost herself as she slid her eyes closed and opened her mouth to allow him entrance. He smiled into the kiss when he realized that she was finally responding to his kiss. He decided to then deepen the kiss and slowly pushed her back until her back was to the railing. Instinctively, her hands came up and encircled his neck. His arms circled her waist and before long they began their descent. His hands went down to the swell of her a and he gave it a squeeze, earning a moan from Kagome. His mouth left hers to travel down her neck while Kagome tilted her head to allow him more and better access as she closed her eyes in utter rapture. Removing his hands from her a, he pulled her shirt out of her pants and then proceeded to slide his hand up under her shirt towards her breast. As soon as he was about to touch her though, he heard a man clear his throat.

"Fuck!" he said as he took out his hand and stepped away from a dazed Kagome.

Kagome's breathing slowly returned to normal and she realized that it was the butler who had interrupted the kiss. 'Interrupted! More like he just saved me.' She looked at Inuyasha as he was conversing with the butler. 'Oh my God! I can't believe he kissed me. I can't believe I let him. How could my body respond to him like that? As if it has been deprived of sexual contact. I know I didn't have time for a boyfriend or anything like that during college because I was always too busy with my studies but how can I be so inexperienced that I'll respond to a playboy!'

Kagome was brought out of her thoughts by a hand on her arm. She turned and looked at the owner of the hand, who just happened to be Inuyasha. "What do you want?" she asked angrily.

"Hey! Don't get mad at me because you can't control yourself when you're with me. I didn't force you to respond to my kiss or my touching you!" he said, still angry that he had been interrupted. Taking a deep breath to cool off a bit, he said, "Now. You will be joining me for breakfast and then you'll get your car keys. Oh and just so you know, we're not done and I intend to finish what I started," he said and winked at her before leading her to the dining room.

Kagome ate breakfast quietly without making eye contact with Inuyasha. As soon as she was done, she asked Inuyasha, "Can I have my car keys now?" He threw them across the table and Kagome caught them. "Thank you," she said and walked towards the front door.

"I'll walk you out," Inuyasha said quickly as he ran to catch up to her. He opened the door for her and as she was going through the door, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. "I expect to see you at work today. And I was serious. We are far from done and I intend to get what I want. I always get what I want."

"Well I guess you can't win all the time. I won't be your sex toy who you have at your every beck and call to do with as you please. Now let me go." When he released her, she met her car in front of the house. Quickly jumping in, she left the mansion as fast as she could.

As soon as Kagome parked, she ran inside and took a quick shower and brushed her teeth. Afterwards, she pulled on a white button-up dress shirt with sleeves to her elbows that were folded, a black pleated skirt that reached just above her knees and a pair of high heeled black shoes. She brushed her hair and left them down. Picking up her bag, she was back out in the car in a half hour and on her way to work.

When she finally got there, she went off in search for Sango first. She went over to Nazuna's desk. "Hi Nazuna. I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find Sango. It's really important that I find her."

"She's on the same floor as Mr. Takeda, floor twelve, and her office is on the left. Oh, I'm assuming you got the job since you're back here again so congratulations…"

"Kagome. My name is Kagome. Thank you very much Nazuna," she said with a friendly smile and then headed for the elevator. When the elevator stopped, she quickly scanned all the doors on the left. Suddenly she heard a whisper from behind a door. Knocking three times, she called, "hello? Is somebody in there? I'm looking for Sango. Can you tell me which of these doors leads to her office?

The door was quickly opened to reveal Sango, but she was not alone. "Oh hi Kagome. Do you need something?"

"Yeah. Uh…did I come at a bad time?" she asked motioning toward a man standing behind Sango.

"Oh no. Of course you didn't come at a bad time. Come in." When Kagome came into the room, Sango said, "Miroku this is Kagome, my best friend."

Stepping forward, he outstretched his hand. "It's very nice to meet you Kagome."

"I wasn't done yet! Geez!" said Sango. "Okay, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted," she motioned to Miroku. "Kagome, this is Miroku, the guy I got the address from."

"Is that all I am? The guy who gave you an address?" he asked playfully mocking hurt.

"Miroku, would you be serious. You know it's not like that."

"Oh! So this is Miroku. I heard some girls in the lobby talking about you yesterday. If you get into any trouble with Mr. Takeda, I'm sorry for using your name. The way the girls were talking about you, I realized that you and Mr. Takeda had to be really close so I said I knew you."

"It's okay. Me and Inuyasha are really close," he said with a cool smile.

"So, Kagome, what are you doing here? Did you get Inuyasha to give you the job? I could tell by the way that you lost it yesterday when I asked you about the interview that Inuyasha had been an ass."

Yes Sango, I got it. I had to give him a bit of legal advice but I got it. That's what I came here to tell you but I have to go. I'll see you for lunch though right?"

"Sorry Kagome but I already sort of made plans," she said shifting her eyes to Miroku.

"Oh, gotcha," Kagome winked one eye then left towards Inuyasha's office. When she reached the door, she paused, took a deep breath then knocked on the door.

"Come in," she heard his deep voice call.

She came into the office and walked towards his desk. "Good morning Mr. Takeda. Where do I have to go?"

"Please stop calling me Mr. Takeda. You're making me feel old when I'm only twenty-three." Pointing to a door on the right, he said, "You'll be working through that door. But you could always occupy yourself by working underneath my desk."

"And how would I be able to work under your desk?"

"It'll be easy. You'd just have you head in my lap keeping that sexy little mouth of yours busy," he said with a sexy grin on his face.

"You disgust me!" she shouted and then left quickly through the door before he could see her face heat up. Looking on her desk, she saw a remote. "I guess this is for the air conditioner," she said quietly to herself s she picked it up and put it on full blast. 'Five minutes of this and my face will be cooled down in no time.'

"Suddenly, she heard three swift loud knocks on the door. "Kagome! Open the door. I have a portfolio of projects that I need you to complete hopefully by the end of the week," Inuyasha said. Kagome walked over to the door and opened it reluctantly. As soon as he stepped in, he felt a blast of cold air. "Damn! Why do you have that thing on so high?"

"I was just kind of hot so I wanted to cool down," she said then moved so that she was leaning on her desk. "So what do you have for me?"

Disregarding her question, he smirked smugly and said "sorry I got you so hot babe. I'll try not to turn you on too much while we're at the office. But remember, I can't make that promise when you're back in my house."

"God you're such a horny pig. I'm never coming back to your house. And just because I turn you on and get you horny doesn't mean that you do the same for me. I'd have to be a whore to get turned on by one of your pick-up lines. Now can I have the portfolios or whatever you said you had for me to do?"

Without saying a word, he walked over and handed her the portfolio. He then turned to leave then. Just as he was about to walk out the door, he turned back and said, "You know what? Talking wastes a whole bunch of time so I'll show you how horny I can get you to be. By the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging me to fuck you senseless. Now shut the fuck up and get to work," ha said then walked out the door slamming it.

She just stared wide eyed at the door. She knew she had hit a spot but she did not expect him to get so angry. "I'll apologize when I'm done with these deals." She started to flip through the portfolio and began to draft ideas for different advertisements.

At round 12:15pm, she was done drafting her ideas for three of the advertisements. She got up and walked over to the door, but she hesitated with her hand on the knob. 'I don't have to be afraid. He won't hurt me…I hope.' Taking a deep breath and grasping the three drafts tightly, she opened the door and walked into Inuyasha's office. She walked straight to his desk and put down the drafts softly.

"Mr. Takeda-" She was cut off by a glare that he sent her. "Um…sorry I mean Inuyasha. I came to apologize. I shouldn't have shot my mouth off at you like that and I'm sorry I disrespected you. I just didn't expect you to get so mad."

He continued to look at her for a while, without an expression on his face and without saying a word. After a while, he looked down at the drafts that she gave him and he thumbed through them. "I hate them all. They all look like a piece of shit. Do them over or I'll find someone who can do the job," he said looking her squarely in the eye.

"Oh…okay then…" she said her voice breaking at the end. "I'll just…do them over and…get them back to you after my...um...lunch break."

"Didn't you hear me!" he shouted at her causing her to jump. "I said do them over. I want them now! So you can't go to lunch until you give me those drafts and I approve of them. Now get out of my office. I should have company any minute. Unless you want to meet her."

"No, no thanks. I'll...just get to work on these," she said then quickly left through the door. She walked over to her desk and sat down. Tears slowly began to fall down her cheeks but she didn't stop them. 'What's wrong with the drafts I did?' She looked through them again. 'They're fine so why is he giving me such a hard time?' Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Ms. Kagome. You have a phone call downstairs and since your telephone won't be installed until tomorrow, you have to come down stairs and get it."

She cleared her throat for a moment then said "Thank you Nazuna. I'll be right there." She took a napkin from her bag and cleaned her face as best she could. Looking into the mirror, she said to herself, "well I can't fix my face any better so I just have to get this over and done with quickly." She walked out another door directly in front of her desk and went down to the elevator. As soon as she got to the lobby, she went to Nazuna who handed her the phone. She whispered a "thank you" to Nazuna before answering the phone.

"Hello, this is Kagome Higurashi."

"Hey Kagome, it's me Souta. My college let out for spring break and I have a surprise for you. I know you miss me and mom very much so we got something delivered to the house for you. But you need to go home now and get it before it spoils."

"Oh Souta I miss you guys so much but I can't. My boss wouldn't allow it. I'll try though. But I can't guarantee anything."

"Okay. Bye Sis. I love you."

"Who'd have thought you'd be telling me that you love me. I love you too Souta. Kiss mom for me will you? Bye." She said and hung up the phone. Unknown to her, someone had been eavesdropping on her conversation.

'She has a boyfriend! No wonder she's resisting me. Well, no boyfriend has ever gotten in the way before and I'm not about to let hers get in my way. I must have her. She's mine!' Inuyasha headed back to his office and sat down, trying to think up a way to woo Kagome into his bed. About three minutes after, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in."

Kagome slowly walked in with her eyes downcast. "Um...Inuyasha, can I please have my lunch break now?" she asked, finally looking at him with pleading eyes. "I just got an important call and I need to get home right away."

"Okay Kagome. I guess you can go. You know what, let me review those drafts that you gave me. I just had a lot on my mind and I wasn't really paying attention to them."

"Really?" she asked hopefully, a slow smile spreading across her face.

"Yeah, go ahead and get them and then you can go."

She quickly went over to her office, got her drafts and came back to Inuyasha's office. When she came back, he had already come around from behind his desk to meet her. "Here you go Mr.Ta-... I mean Inuyasha. Thank you so much!" she said and flung herself into his arms.

"You're welcome," he said as he embraced her tighter. 'I can get her. If it's so easy to get a reaction like this out of her, I'm going to have her in no time.'

"Well... I'll just get going now. Bye Inuyasha." She tried to pull away from his embrace but found that he wasn't letting her go. She looked up into his eyes and froze. 'Why haven't I noticed his eyes before? I've never seen anything so beautiful.' She kept gazing at his eyes until she felt something soft and warm upon her lips.

Inuyasha looked at her and she seemed to be in a trance. 'Well it's now or never. I know she's attracted to me but let's see just how much.' With that, his lips descended upon hers.

He tightened his hold around her waist as he kissed her heatedly. Her arm slowly came up to wrap around his neck. She opened her mouth to allow him entrance and he wasted no time. He wanted to taste her, every part of her. He heard her moan and immediately knew that things might get out of hand when he felt a heat pool low in his gut as his groin came to life. He stopped the kiss and looked at her glazed eyes and her lips swollen from his kiss.

She suddenly realized that he was no longer kissing her. As if of its own accord, her body moved closer to him and she kissed him again. The kiss was more passionate and he couldn't help but draw her against him again. He kissed her deeply and she moaned in response. His hands slowly began to roam her body. He kept one hand running up and down her back while he brought his other hand between their bodies to cup her breast. She moaned a little louder but he stifled it with his kiss. He began to pull her back towards his desk where he spun her around and lifted her so she sat on it. She instinctively spread her legs and he came to stand between them. He began to unbutton her shirt and then cupped her again through her black lacy bra. She moaned as he squeezed and stroked her nipple into hard peaks.

His mouth left hers and he trailed open-mouthed kisses down the side of her throat. Then he moved his hand from her breast to find an even sweeter place. His hand slowly slid up her thighs, taking her skirt along with it. As soon as he was about to touch her core, his telephone rang.

"F! Why do people keep interrupting us!" He removed his hand from her thighs and picked up the phone. "This better be good 'cause you just interrupted something very important!" he shouted at his secretary.

"Mr. Takeda, there's a Mr. Kouga-"

The man whom she referred to as Kouga pulled the phone away and said, "listen here mutt, you have a business deal for me and I need to know about it now. I'm coming up to your office now!" he shouted then hung up the phone.

Inuyasha hung up the phone and turned around to see a slightly shaken up Kagome. 'Be nice or she'll put up a shell.' "I'm sorry Kagome. I don't know what came over me. One minute you were just hugging me and the next... I couldn't stop myself," he said keeping his eyes downcast for effect. "I'm sorry for taking advantage of you."

Kagome stared at him in shock as he apologized for kissing her. 'He actually apologized? But... I thought he was a playboy. Maybe there is more to him than I thought...' She lifted his face and looked him in the eyes. "It's okay Inuyasha. I don't know what came over me either. I guess I just couldn't help myself. Don't blame yourself because I didn't exactly stop you. But don't worry. I won't let it happen again so you won't have to feel like you're going to cross the line again. I'm a big girl and I can control myself." She turned to leave but halted. "Oh yeah, thanks again." Then she turned and left.

Inuyasha let out a breath he had not known he had been holding. He then opened the windows quickly to try and air out the place so that when Kouga got there he would not suspect anything. About five minutes after, Kouga knocked loudly on Inuyasha's door then walked in.

"The next time you come into my building with an attitude like that, I'll have the guard through your ass out. And I'll make sure there are a lot of reporters there to see you land on you face."

"Listen Inuyasha. I didn't come here to play games. I need that draft you were going to do for me and I need it now. I can't let my boss just see it if I don't approve. I need to see it now."

"You're only lucky we found somebody for the job and that she got it done rather quickly and still did a great job." He handed him a draft about a new cologne.

Kouga looked through it for a while and then closed it, a satisfied smile on his face. "This is excellent. Thank you and thank your new employee for me too." As fast as he had come he was gone.

"Thank God she's so good," he said to himself as he got up and headed out to lunch. 'I think I'm finally getting somewhere with her. At the rate things are going, I'll have her in my bed in no time.' A sinister smirk spread over his face as he jumped into his red Ferrari and sped off.

Well there's chapter two of Beauty and Brains. I hope you all like it. I made it longer or anyone who couldn't wait.
