Disclaimer: It is my deepest regret to tell you that I do not own Inuyasha. I'm sorry.

Mikomi trudged back to Sesshoumaru's office and placed a small plastic cup of chocolate pudding in front of him.

"There you go! You must be starving!"

He glanced at the pudding but didn't touch it, Mikomi stood in her usual corner and watched Sesshoumaru write.

"Aren't you gonna eat that? Sir?"

"No."

"Oh come on! I went through all the trouble of stealing it!"

"You stole it?"

"Uh…maybe."

She put down her clipboard and scooped a spoonful of pudding.

"Here you go! Now eat it."

Sesshoumaru greatly disapproved of her tone, it sounded like she was talking to an infant. Mikomi tried to shove the spoon in his mouth but he kept his lips tightly sealed and he turned his head away.

"Just a little bit!" She wheedled.

Mikomi eventually gave up and ate the pudding herself, after wiping the spoon with a tissue first of course. After a while when Mikomi was full of chocolate, Sesshoumaru warned her,

"Saikawa."

"Hmm?"

"I must inform you that I will have a business meeting today, I will close a deal with someone from another company. So, while I am talking to the gentleman you will NOT interfere. Do I make myself clear?"

Mikomi saluted "Yes my liege!"

666.6666.66666.666.666.6666.6666.666.6666.66666.6666.666.666.666.6666.6666.666.

Mikomi stamped her feet several times to get the feeling back in her legs, they were going numb from standing up for so long in her usual spot next to Sesshoumaru's desk, clipboard and pen in hand. She sighed and glared at Sesshoumaru who was calmly writing as always.

"Would it kill you to get me a chair?" She asked fiercely.

"Yes." He answered tonelessly without lifting his head.

Mikomi stamped her feet again noisily. "Oh come on! My feet are numb!"

"Then go to the next office and get one yourself."

"Aw, be a gentleman!"

Surprisingly, Sesshoumaru sighed deeply and stood up slowly. "I cannot believe I am doing this." He muttered as he walked out of the room to the office next to his, which just happened to be Kouga's. Mikomi followed him with her eyes and could only imagine what was happening in Kouga's office.

"Oh hello Sesshoumaru, sir, what can I do for you?" Came Kouga's voice.

"What are you doing…..?" "Hey that's my chair HEY!"

There was a loud thump and Sesshoumaru came back dragging a stool behind him. Mikomi supposed he took the chair while Kouga was still sitting on it. Sesshoumaru placed the stool in front of her and went back to his desk as if nothing had happened.

"Is that the best you can do?" She asked while staring at the rickety black stool.

"Aww...why can't I have your chair? I want a twirly chair!" She cried pointing at his own leather desk chair.

Sesshoumaru put down his pen and turned to face her.

"Ms Saikawa, do you wish to keep this job?"

Mikomi nodded.

"Then I suggest that you remain silent and sit down if that will stop you from complaining." He said briskly and resumed his writing.

Mikomi gazed at the stool witheringly; she had no choice but to sit down. She lowered herself cautiously and sat down. The stool didn't seem very sturdy. She shrugged and leaned back only to hear a loud squeak making Sesshoumaru wince. Mikomi grinned spitefully and took out a packet of M&M's from her pocket. Sesshoumaru glanced at what was making that infernal crackling noise.

"Did you steal those from the cafeteria as well?"

"Uh huh!"

Mikomi struggled to open the packet and ended up pulling the sides too forcefully causing the packet to rip apart sending M&M's everywhere. Sesshoumaru snapped the pen he was holding in half. He was this close to throwing Mikomi out of the window.

"Awww…oh well!" Mikomi shrugged and fished out another packet from her pocket and began to struggle with it again. Sesshoumaru couldn't take it anymore.

"Must you do that?" He asked struggling to keep his voice calm.

Mikomi successfully opened the packet and offered it to Sesshoumaru.

"Want one?"

Sesshoumaru clenched his jaw and took out another pen from his draw. Mikomi placed a single M&M on her lips and blew upwards balancing the M&M in the air; she then let it fall into her mouth which she chewed noisily.

"Hey Sir look what I can do!"

But Sesshoumaru ignored her and carried on writing, Mikomi rocked her chair to and fro making that insufferable squeaking noise.

"Look look look look look look look look look look look look look look look lo-"

Sesshoumaru banged his fist on the table.

"WHAT?" He said slightly raising his voice. Remember people, Sesshoumaru NEVER shouts.

Mikomi stopped rocking the stool and performed her amazing trick again blowing the M&M higher up. Suddenly the door opened making Mikomi open her mouth in surprise so that the M&M went right down her throat. Sesshoumaru dragged a hand down his face and returned to his writing, trying to ignore Mikomi who was choking and banging her fist on Sesshoumaru's desk. The man who had opened the door gasped and ran in and performed the Heimlich manoeuvre, Mikomi coughed and spat out a slimy M&M which landed on Sesshoumaru's papers. She gasped for air and looked up at her saviour who smiled down at her.

"Thank you…" She simpered to the handsomest guy she had ever seen, with his long black hair tied in a low pony tail and sparkling emerald green eyes. Sesshoumaru stood up and cleared his throat to get his attention. Mikomi offered the packet of M&M's to him.

"Want one?" She said in a sort of trance.

He looked into the packet and took one out popping it into his mouth and winking at her before turning to Sesshoumaru.

"Ah Sesshoumaru!" He said with his mouth full.

Sesshoumaru nodded at him and sat down, trying to hide his disgust at being spoken to in that manner.

"Kenichirou, sit down."

Mikomi swayed on the spot at the sound of his name.

"Kenichirou…" She said dreamily.

Both men looked at her. Mikomi recovered from her daze and went back to her usual space, while the two men resumed their conversation about the deal. After what seemed like an hour, both dog demons stood up and shook hands closing the deal. Kenichirou beckoned to Sesshoumaru,

"What's she like?" He whispered jerking his head in Mikomi's direction.

Mikomi didn't look up but she was listening closely.

"I wouldn't bother…she's a…" Sesshoumaru glanced at her and leaned closer to Kenichirou so that Mikomi could no longer hear. She couldn't hear words but she heard a very low growl coming from Sesshoumaru's throat and Kenichirou chuckled appreciatively.

"Ah well, I better be going anyway" Kenichirou nodded at Sesshoumaru and strolled past Mikomi winking at her which made her legs turn to jelly. Sesshoumaru sat back down checking his watch.

"You may go now."

Mikomi blinked at him. "Go where?"

"Its lunch time."

Mikomi snorted "No its not you-" Sesshoumaru didn't hear what he was because there was the usual squeal of the microphone and Inutaisho telling them its lunch-time. Mikomi practically ran out of the office. She chose her food and looked around the cafeteria for Kagura but instead saw Kenichirou waving eagerly to her. She dawdled for a while then went up to his table and sat across him.

"Er…hi!" She said nervously. Kenichirou smiled at her.

"So….how long will you be staying here?"

He pretended to look hurt, "Aw, do you not want me here?"

"Oh, no! I meant…I mean….er…"

Kenichirou laughed at Mikomi's nerviness, she couldn't help but smile too, she was helplessly captivated by his dazzling smile and effortless charm.

KENICHIROU POV

I was constantly glancing in Sesshoumaru's direction when he finally emerged from his office and stood by the wall watching Mikomi and myself. I laughed and joked with her and my plan is going well. Oh how I hate that Sesshoumaru. But now I am finally going to take something of his. I have no idea what Sesshoumaru's interest was with this human woman, but I am soon going to find out.

"So" I said smiling at her "What is your relationship with Sesshoumaru"

She looked at Sesshoumaru who was still watching her and looked shocked.

"No! I'm just his assistant! There's nothing going on…really."

I tried to keep my cool, nothing? The only reason I'm with this foolish human girl is because I thought she belonged to Sesshoumaru! I still remember in school, we were friends. But I secretly envied him, everything he had. Sesshoumaru knew and owned everything that I didn't. He was rich, all the girls threw themselves at him, he had a future. And now, he practically owns the finest Financial Company in Japan! And me…I just get sent around closing deals. After all these years, and he still has a better life. And that's why I'm going to steal this girl from him. Yes….dog demons are very territorial…this will definitely infuriate him.

666.666.6666.6666.6666.6666.666.666.6666.6666.66.6666.6666.666.6666.6.666.66.66.

Inutaisho strolled up to Sesshoumaru, who was still glaring at Mikomi who was laughing and batting her eyelashes.

"Hey son, where did you put my-"

Inutaisho noticed that Sesshoumaru was not listening but continuing to watch his assistant.

"Aha!" Inutaisho said in triumphant whisper pointing at Sesshoumaru, who finally became aware that his father was talking to him.

"What?"

"I knew it! You DO like her!"

Sesshoumaru 'hmphed' "You are mistaken father, you know we dog demons are extremely territorial, and it just so happens that Kenichirou Koyanagi is attempting to infuriate me by flirting with my assistant."

Inutaisho lowered his accusing finger,

"How can you be so sure?"

"I know him enough to recognize what he is doing. He despises me that much"

Sesshoumaru gazed at Mikomi and Kenichirou, listening hard to their conversation.

"Hahahaha! You're something all right! Say, would you accompany me to the 'Silver Dragon' restaurant? Lets say…8:00pm?"

Mikomi gasped and nodded eagerly. Who wouldn't? 'Sliver Dragon' was the finest and most expensive restaurant in town!

Sesshoumaru had heard enough, he disapproved of how easily Saikawa could be dominated. He went back to his office and waited for her to boast about her date.

OK! This story is turning out to be longer than I thought! You guys are gonna LOVE the next chapter! It involves ice-cream and a very pissed off Sesshoumaru.
