Monday came, just as I'd known it would. This didn't mean I looked forward to it, in fact I wished that the weekend would never well, end. Never the less I still found myself walking down that hallway which was suddenly becoming familiar. My half inch heels made the same clicking noise as I walked up to the front desk once more. The woman sitting there popped her chewing gum and fiddled with a greying curl. Now that I was here to stay, for now I took the time to notice that she was really quite intimidating.

This woman had never introduced herself to me so I simply found her name off the gold name plate thing... Dolores Fairweather. Hmm Dolores was a scary enough name but Fairweather? Somebody here needed a better fitting name and that somebody wasn't me. She had tightly wound greying brown curls. Her hair was a dull colour, perhaps if she were a mouse that would be the expected pelt colour. It had no sheen in fact it was, like my living room and Miroku's office, bland. Dolores wore this awful bright red shade of lipstick with a coat of lip shine of something. You know it truly baffles me why women wear such hideous shades of makeup. However continuing, she wore moss green eye shadow. The shadow covered not only the lid of her eye but was extended in a green arch to her eye brows. She wore too much blush and it appeared as two red spots on her cheeks. If anyone needed a makeover badly it was this woman.

Anyhow no matter how scary she was I stepped up and rang the bell, trying to appear confidant and unafraid of what awaited me here. I didn't know what I was in for and to be honest I thought I'd rather run and hide in a hole rather than be 'Personal secretary to Mr. Sesshoumaru'. I wondered why he needed a personal secretary. Did he not have that odd servant thing, Jakken anymore? Anyway there was no use dwelling on why my job existed so I gave up wondering and rang the silver bell on her cherry finish executive desk. She immediately looked up, frowning upon me like I was some stupid child who'd just rang the bell with extra gusto so as to make it ring that much louder and with such increase her annoyance. I just didn't understand why she insisted on being so negative about her job. It couldn't have been as bad as she made it look.

"Hello, I am Kagome Higurashi, new secretary to Mr. Sesshoumaru"

"Floor 260"

"Thank you" I said, making my way to the elevator, wishing I'd worn quieter shoes.

The elevator was walled with mirrors that were kept spotless and the floor of it the same odd rock stuff that was in the entrance hall. Floor 260 came and I exited it, thinking about my new employer. Walking down that hall I felt a fear I'd never felt before, this being my first position where I actually got to talk to at least one of corporate ultra importance. I say ultra importance only because Sesshoumaru owned the company and so gave jobs to millions of people all around the country. In my opinion without the workers there would be no reason to have supervisors so therefore despite what many people think supervisors are NOT more important than the worker people no matter how much more money they make. I worked in one of the largest Sesshoucorp buildings. What surprised me was Sesshoumaru's office was not on the top. In fact it was very near the middle. I'd heard the building was over 500 floors high but I worked on the 260th and I was Sesshoumaru's personal secretary. This being said I had every reason to believe that I at least worked on the same floor in which Sesshoumaru spent his days.

I had previously received instruction to see Mr. Sesshoumaru for instruction on what I would be doing each day. Today was my day to move my stuff in and coustimise my office space and whatever else I needed to do before starting my job officially. Finally I made my way to a pair of large polished doors with MY name onder Sesshoumaru's. I stared for a short time at the beautiful gold coloured name plate for a moment with a very amused look on my face. Had anyone come up to the door to see me standing there staring up at my gorgeous name plate I swear they'd have thought me completely mental. Over come by a slight uneasy knot in my stomach I knocked softly on the door before entering.

The room was tremendous. Most belonged to Sesshoumaru no doubt but I had my very own space in the middle of the room. To see Sesshoumaru people had to go through me first and then they could go and see their employer. I had a small desk made of the same dark polished wood as the doors and I noticed that the desk belonging to Sesshoumaru was a larger more expensive version of my own. plus it sat on a more elevated part of the office, one step up from my 'level'. I figured that my area was the large portion from the entrance to mid center of the floor that was the lower portion of the office.

Sesshoumaru sat at his desk, looking up with those mesmerizing eyes of his from his paper work as I walked in. His face remained void of any emotion but I knew where it was that I was to work.I deposited my stuff on the desk that was so obviously to be mine and walked over to him, smiling happily though I really wasn't happy. He spoke with a deep tone that was so unlike the condescending one he'd used with me during the interview.

"You must be Kagome, the new secretary. I am Sesshoumaru although I imagine you already know that," He said.

"Yes, that's me"

"I imagine you already know much of your job being a secretary but I suppose I ought to tell you anyway. You tell me when I get calls or take them if they're unimportant (I was about to say that everyone is important right then but decided to keep my mouth shut), take messages when I'm in meetings, write up my schedule, make sure I stick to my schedule, don't remind me too late for meetings and unless I'm forgetting something that is all. Today however you may take the day and fix up your office area. I can tell you've got a lot of things to arrange" He said and then motioned for me to go and put away my things.

There were already a few things on my desk which were: a phone, one that looked like the ones telemarketers use and a computer. I had one of those nice black ones with a flat screen monitor. I thought it was really nice especially since I could barely afford my laptop much less this amazing machine. I put the office box on my chair and began unloading the stuff. I had quite a few pictures, one of my family and one with me, Sango and Inu Yasha and the last of my adopted brother, Shippo.

I stared at the picture of Inu Yasha for a moment remembering my ex. I'd heard that he was dating some idiot, Kikyou I think her name was. Anyway he thinks she's mighty fine. I think it's just because she puts out and I mean a lot. The guy was Sesshoumaru's younger brother for heavens sake one would think that being related to Sesshoumaru would earn a few brownie points with the ladies but I could see that it obviously didn't do much good.

I placed them all in random spots, wherever I saw fitting and then for a lack of things to do moved each one several times and moved on to continuing to take out my things. It took around a half hour, most of which Sesshoumaru was not present for I might add.

Sango took me to a noodle place by the office for lunch. She asked me all about my day so far. I will admit there wasn't much to tell as you already know.

"Sango there isn't really anything important to tell"

"What's your office like?"

"I'll show you when we get back" I said with newfound enthusiasm. She'd get to see my shared office. It wasn't much but it was part of an executives office and I shared the whole thing with Sesshoumaru, the big boss.

After lunch I led Sango along the hallway that led to the doors I had walked through for the first time that very morning. She stared up at my gold coloured name plate for a short time and I was glad that I wasn't the only one who found it entrancing. Finally the shock of it wore down and I opened the doors to lead into the office

"It is SO nice Kagome. How on earth did you ever land this job?"

"I don't know" I said rushing over to my desk, best friend in tow.

She pointed out the picture with her, Inu Yasha and me in it and sighed softly. I could have sworn I'd heard her her mutter, "those were the days" I understood. I missed having Inu around too. Why did he have to go? I still wanted to be friends and he had technically left me. Well I guess boys will be boys and since I wasn't willing to give my virginity to him yet he found someone who would. If she'd even been a virgin then. I doubted it.

Sesshoumaru soon waltzed in and dissmissed Sango from the room. She bowed at the door and quickly exited, giving me a smile. The stoic tycoon promptly went to his workstation and waved me over.

"Go look around the building. You've got nothing else to do so you may as well famillarise yourself with the building. I'm sure Jakken would be happy to give you a tour," He said softly, a tone I would not likely hear again for a long while but I wasn't complaining. I nodded and he sent his toad like servant to show me around. It took a few hours and was nearing 3 pm before we even reached the 350th floor. All of the floors and what departments were on them made me dizzy with confusion, not to mention Jakken wasn't the most interesting of tour guides. Finally we made it to the final floor and began the desent. I felt very sleepy and hoped dearly that Sesshoumaru would let me leave early today. He of all people should have known exactly how utterly boring Jakken can be.

As it turned out Sesshoumaru knew exactly how tired I was the second I walked back in the door.

"You can go home now. Your normal hours would be until 5 or sometimes 6 but I think 4:30 is good enough for your first day. I have nothing more for you to do" He said beckoning Jakken over and letting me go home.

As soon as I got home I wanted to shower and take a nap then have nothing to do concerning Sesshoumaru until morning but fate would not have it that way. Shippo called and I, being the wonderful older sister had not the heart to tell him that I'd tell him all about my first day at work tomorrow after work that day too. Naturally since I was tired I didn't provide perfect detail but I think he was satisfied.

Shippo as I've already said is my adopted brother. He is nearing fifteen years old and can't wait to get a job and buy a car. What he doesn't realise is it's much more dificult, making it on your own in the world but he's so excitable and I think that the real world will be tough on him. He's got a fine mop of red/orange hair that hardly ever stays neat but whether he wants it that way noone knows.

After the call I took a nice relaxing bath instead of a shower. I needed to relax more really than wash up and baths are always so relaxing. Rhen, just as planned I took a bit of a nap where that mesmerising man, Sesshoumaru haunted my dreams.
