Kagome sat back in the chair slumping, she had just read the contract, she was thankful her father agreed to keep the employees and sticked to the terms of the employees but she hated this arrogant man her partner was, she knew just by staring him down.

"This is my office, you go find another on," Kagome pissed off,

"Ms. Higurashi, your father's office is the only one left, I will not take his office when he directly gave it to you," the man calmly.

"I am not my father, nor do I want his office, and if you do not want thrown out of this current office that you are in then I suggest you take your shit and your arrogant, pompous ass out of the chair, take your fancy gizmos and get the hell out now before I have you escorted to another office!" Kagome jumping up out of her chair which was normally for her clients and was leaning over her own desk, snarling at the man in her personal chair. He smirked, taking a deep breath, he swore he smelt Inuyasha's wench, he shook his head,

~The miko would have been able to survive 500 years, she's just a mere human.~ the man thought.

"If I do so, I will be breaking my contract with your father," the man strongly,

"Gah, you are infuriating!" Kagome fisting her hands. Another man came in,

"Oh, Ms. Higurashi, good you're here, there is a board meeting, I need you both there," another man who Kagome had never seen walking out of her office. Her supposed partner got up, Kagome lost her balance and fell, he heard her growl and he actually extended his hand to help her up,

"I don't need your help," Kagome spat,

"Very well," the man watching her pull herself up and walk away with the help of crutches.

"I'm sorry, you know about your family," the man known as her partner came out from nowhere, she stopped walking,

"I do not need your pity or sympathy, at least not from a total stranger who is arrogant and self-centered, just go back to where you came from," Kagome harshly, she hobbled into the meeting room.

"Ms. Higurashi, shouldn't you be at home resting?" the lawyer asked,

"Please, its Kagome, I've never used such formal greetings and I can't sit home, I have a business to run," Kagome a little upset.

"Please, wont you sit down so we can discuss what your father wanted for his business?" the lawyer politely.

"First off I didn't want this company, yeah sure, I am good with the books and the clients love me, but, I want my father back, I don't want some arrogant prick as a partner, when he has already broken contract!" Kagome pounding her fist on the table.

"How has he broken any agreements in his contract, Ms. Higurashi?" the lawyer asked.

"Using such a title as you just have, we do not use such titles, and I read the contract, that is apart of the contract, and it says that nothing changes around here, our employees stay, the personal assistant stays and their hours do not change, and they still get their raises and bonuses, and I do not want my father's office, I am not my father!" Kagome pounding her fist on the table.

"Please Kagome, calm down, lets just sit here and throw around some ideas, you can explain to your partner here how this company runs so he does not breach contract again, oh and your father wanted your partner here to stay with you till you guys were able to get along," the lawyer explained. Kagome busted out laughing, she cleared her throat,

"Um, excuse me, you don't mean stay as in stay in my house?" Kagome knowing that they were playing some sick joke.

"Precisely, he has signed a contract saying that he would take care of you and the rest of your family, so he will have to stay with you, in your house for two years," the lawyer explained. Kagome laughed some more,

"This is some kind of a very sick joke, unless its in writing with my father's signature it's not happening!" Kagome giving her partner a death glare, the lawyer walked over to her and gave her the written contract, she read the contract, and there at the bottom of the contract, her worse nightmare, her father's signature.

"I don't even know this arrogant fool's name, what in the hell does my father peg me for? How do I know he will not harm us?" Kagome strongly.

"Your father has known the Tashio's for a while, Seiji's father has a stock and bond business also," the lawyer explained.

"You simply never asked for my name till now, it is Seiji Tashio," Seiji giving her a smirk, Kagome could see in his blue icy eyes that he was finding her actions very amusing.

"Ah, yeah, Seiji I think I caught your name when this lawyer, which by the way is an asshole because every one of you bastards are receiving this as some kind of amusement, this is not some joke, my father's company is not for your sick pleasure of amusement, I'm trying to honor my father's wishes but I can not do so with your twisted minds or with that arrogant little prick who thinks that he can come in here and trash this place with his cold demeanor and talk down to us, and let me tell you something Seiji, you are not all that a box of pocky as you think you are," Kagome standing, leaning on the table in front of her,

"I suggest you sit down before your feeble legs give way," Seiji almost growling.

"Who asked ya, Seiji!" Kagome steaming, Seiji was about to put this human in her place, but the conditions were unable to allow him to do so.

"Kagome, these are your father's wishes, Seiji will stay in the homestead for two years and help with the business, he didn't want to leave you or your brother without anything, after two years he will return to his father's company but he will continue to watch over you to make sure the company is not failing…" the lawyer being interrupted,

"Depending on how well you handle this company there will be a position available to you at the Tashio's stock and bonds," Seiji coldly.

"I do not need handouts, thank you, I will not fail my father's company," Kagome with determination.

"If you should need it, it stands given to you, but it depends on how well you do with your father's company," Seiji explained through his clenched teeth. Kagome huffed,

"Here is how our company is ran," Kagome starting out, telling him how everyone is treated, what hours they worked, that she could pick up the slack, what kind of bonus they received on special occasions, how the employees were like family and worked together.

Seiji cringed at the thought of how the company was ran, all the other men were secretly laughing at the face Seiji was making, considering everyone except Kagome was a demon, and were hired by the Tashio's and Kagome's father they knew who Seiji really was.

"I expect that everything stays the same, and if drastic measures call for it, we, my business partner and I will meet with the client wherever they are located," Kagome explained.

"To our biggest clients, we'll have a dinner with in order to ensure their business and we'll pay, also at Christmas there will be a employee party held at my father's estate," Seiji agreeing with Kagome.

"Yeah, I like that, sounds good," Kagome having to admit,

"Don't go be getting a big head now," Kagome seeing Seiji smile through his eyes.

"And I want my office back, those are the agreements I am signing onto," Kagome staring Seiji down. Seiji stared at her back,

~If she only knew what I could do to her with the simple flick of my wrist.~ he thought.

"Your employees will need a boss, your father was their boss, by taking his office they will see you as their boss, I am just a background partner, to help you manage the books sort of speak," Seiji explained.

"Fine, write it up and give me something to sign, now if you will excuse me I have work," Kagome explained, when she hobbled to the door, she turned back,

"Saturday, a dinner at my place for my father and my mother and the bringing in of a business partner, all employees will come, to honor my family and to get to know you," Kagome about to walk away.

"It will be held at my father's estate, I will send cars to their addresses if you give them to me," Seiji explained,

"Of course," Kagome strongly.
