"What if I told you I love you?" a voice asked carrying through the silent room.

"Then I'd tell you to stop. I told you Hojo that this could be nothing more than sex." A feminine voice said. Sighing heavily the woman stood to gather her clothes.

"Come on Kagome just give us a chance." He stood from the bed and reached for her.

Smacking his hands away she got dressed. "You're wasting your time. I don't do love and I'm leaving this place for good." She told him pulling on her boots.

"What? No Kagome stay with me. I can take care of you and make you happy!" He exclaimed standing before her. Pushing him out the way she walked over to the door but stopped.

"No one could ever make me happy or make me feel love. I'm just not capable of it." With that she left.

~One Week Later~

Kagome sighed as she walked through the office building with a stack of folders. Inuyasha, her boss and best friends friend, had asked her to deliver them to his brother, whom she had not seen once since she's been there. From what she's heard though is that he was a total hard ass and that his looks would make any woman fall hard. She scoffed at the thought. Walking up to the secretary she cleared her throat. "Inuyasha told me to deliver these. Is he in?" she asked.

The woman looked her up and down then scowled.

Rolling her eyes Kagome walked over to the door then knocked. Soon the door and a tall silver haired man glared down at her. Holding the folders out to him she looked him square in the face and said nothing. As soon as he took them she turned and left.

~Next Day~

She could feel him staring at her back as she worked. She didn't know why, but it started to grate her nerves.

"Why do you insists on staring at me Inuyasha," she snapped turning to face the man.

"Why don't you ever smile. Are you not capable of it?"

Ok so that's the last things she would have thought he would want to know.

"I smile sometimes."

"Do you smile when you're happy?"

"I wouldn't know." she told him.

"What?" he asked incredulously.

"A witch cursed my mother because my father wouldn't leave her. That was before they got married. 'Your child will never feel happiness or love or any kind of joy. She will go on in this world without knowing how life really is'. That is what she told them." she explained.

"Have you tried to break it," he asked genuinely concerned.

"In order for me to break it, there would have to be someone as incapable of love as me. We both would have to fall in love with each other, although I don't know how love is supposed to feel so I won't know if or when it happens."

"Trust me. You will know, now take these to the asshole." He said handing her a folder.

She groaned. "Do I have to? The guys always hit on me whenever they see me. Plus his secretary is so unprofessional and rude."

"Kagome I'm sure you haven't noticed this but you are the most beautiful woman working in this building. I'm not saying that the other women aren't but clearly everyone can see it." He told her.

Standing she snatched the folder from him.

"Why'd you have to go and say that. Now I'm gonna feel all self-conscious and shit. I should quit!" she yelled and walked out of her office. Making her way to the elevator she waited. Soon it arrived and carried her to the next floor.

As she exited she quickly walked to her destination. "So are you going to let me know if he is busy or will we have a repeat of yesterday?"

"You bi-" the door opened silencing her. "Yura if you continue to impede on work getting done you're fired." He said then turned and walked back into his office leaving the door open.

Taking the hint Kagome followed him. Sitting the file on the desk Kagome turned and left.

"See you later Yura," Kagome as she passed by.

~Hours later~

Kagome tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear as she entered the bar. She figured her drink after work would end up being a routine seeing as what she had to put up with there. As she got closer to the bar she spotted Sesshomaru sitting alone and a group of women making their way to him. Shrugging she made her way over and took the seat beside him, making the woman stop and turn back to their seats.

"I don't need your help," the man beside her said.

"Whiskey neat," she told the bartender who only nodded. "I'm not helping you. I'm just here to drink," she said looking over her shoulder at them then him. Placing her drink in front of her the bartender pointed behind her.

"Courtesy of my friend," he told her.

She sighed and turned to find a short bald man waving at her. Raising a perfectly arched eyebrow she turned back around, downed the drink and asked for the bottle.

"You know I'm sure you don't scare them. I find your attractiveness much more overwhelming then anything else and I'm sure they feel the same way." She took the bottle from the bartender, poured herself another drink and threw it back.

"Stop your insufferable talking woman," he said turning to glare at her. She looked him in his eyes and finished off the bottle quickly.

Standing she placed her hand on the counter and leaned closer to him.

"Don't go thinking that I was hitting on you in any way because of what I said Taisho-san. You're my boss's boss and I don't plan to cross that line again."
