BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
BAM!
Kagome rubbed her eyes after she smacked her alarm clock off. Today's the day to look for another job. Oh joy.
With much effort, Kagome got off her bed, brushed her teeth and got dressed. She wore a white tank top with blue jeans and black flip flops. She then went to her doorstep where she found the morning paper already on her 'welcome' mat. She picked it up and sat down at the kitchen table.
" Is there not one job in here that doesn't ask me to be a slut? " Kagome said in an exasperated tone. Practically all the jobs were cocktail waitress jobs. And she did that before and NEVER again. Her butt was basically the designated pin cushion and she got fired for slapping the guilty man in the face.
Kagome continued to skim through the job section. After a while she found an ad that caught her eye. It was an ad that asked for anybody who is able to do strenuous house cleaning to give them a call. She could clean no problem. But why was it so strenuous? House cleaning wasn't that all bad and it certainly didn't kill you.
Of course when she thought all this, she didn't know that she would be cleaning for the world's biggest party animal who made monumental messes that took practically all night to clean.
" Well this is the first decent job I have found in here so far. " Kagome said to herself as she grabbed her kitchen phone and dialed the number that was on the ad.
Sesshomaru rubbed his temples and sighed in frustration.
He had interviewed ten girls that day and all of them didn't even know what Windex was. All they wanted was to get the job so they could get to his brother. He hated the fact that his brother was such a man whore.
" I hate him. " Sesshomaru said to no one in particular.
" Hate who sir? " a voice rang out.
Sesshomaru looked up to see his beloved assistant Rin. She had been with him since he took the position as president of the company. She never asked any dumb questions and she knew when to bother him and when to just leave him alone. She had dark brown hair that reached mid back and chocolate brown eyes. She wore a white blouse and black skirt that reached to her knees and black high heels.
Sesshomaru smiled wryly and said, " No one Rin. "
Rin looked puzzled for a moment then smiled in return. " There's a woman who has come for an interview. Her name is Kagome Higurashi. Do I let her in? " Rin said.
Sesshomaru hesitated for a moment, then said, " Yes, Rin. You may let her in. "
Rin nodded then left.
A few moments later, Kagome entered the room in the same attire that she wore that morning. She stood in the middle of the room, not sure whether to move closer or not.
" Don't worry Miss Higurashi, I don't bite. " Sesshomaru said with a small smile.
Kagome then walked toward a black chair in front of his desk and sat down.
They looked at each other for a few minutes. Not one said a word. Until Sesshomaru broke the silence.
" Nice outfit. " Sesshomaru said as he looked her over.
" Sorry I didn't have time to change. " Kagome said with a small smile.
" Well for the position you're being interviewed for it doesn't matter if you come in a suit or naked. All that matters is that you don't mind cleaning gigantic messes and if you know what Windex is because every girl that i have interviewed so far has no idea what it is. " Sesshomaru said in a matter of fact tone.
" Windex is what you use to clean windows, everybody knows that. " Kagome replied.
" You'd be surprised. " Sesshomaru said with a sigh.
" And I don't mind cleaning big messes sir. I need this job to pay for school. I promise I won't complain or give you a hard time. " Kagome said with pleading eyes.
" Call me Sesshomaru. And well since you gave me the sobby eyes I might as well consider it. " Sesshomaru said with a smirk.
Kagome's eyes lit up and she jumped up from the chair and said, " Thank you Sesshomaru! "
" Don't mention it. " Sesshomaru said as he got up and shook her hand.
Then a certain someone walked into the room and said, " Hey Sesshy! Hows it shaking? "
Inuyasha stopped in the middle of his tracks as he set his eyes on Kagome. He eyed her like a beast of prey looking at its meal to come. She sure wasn't ugly. Yet she wasn't like the other women he was with. But he was a guy who enjoyed variety.
Kagome looked at the man who just walked in. He looked almost like Sesshomaru except he didn't have stripes on his cheeks or a crescent moon on his forehead. And he didn't have pointy ears. Instead, he had white, fluffy ears. And instead of wearing a suit like his brother, he wore faded blue jeans with white vans and a tight black t-shirt. And why was he looking at her as if she was a stripper or something?
" Take a picture sweetheart, it'll last longer. " Inuyasha said with a smirk.
' What did he just say? ' Kagome thought angrily. Kagome was about to retort when Sesshomaru cut her off and said, " Kagome, this idiot that just walked in is my younger brother Inuyasha. "
" Hey I resent that. " Inuyasha said with a pout.
" I'm sure you do. And Inuyasha this is our new employee Kagome. " Sesshomaru replied.
Inuyasha's eyes went back to Kagome and he once again smirked. " Kagome huh? That's a pretty name. " Inuyasha said casually.
Kagome was still seething from the comment he made earlier. And by the fact that he eyed her like she was nothing but a prostitute. And now he's trying to woo her by saying he liked her name? He had alot of nerve.
" Sure, whatever. " Kagome said as she turned to Sesshomaru. What no blushing? No giggling? Did she brush his comment off? Inuyasha stood with his mouth open, trying to contemplate what just happened. " When do I start Sesshomaru? " Kagome asked.
" Tomorrow at 10 a.m. " Sesshomaru replied.
" Thank you. " Kagome said as she turned to Inuyasha. " You shouldn't keep your mouth open like that. Unless you like to eat flies. " Kagome said as she patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the office.
" What just happened? " Inuyasha asked.
" I think you just got 'served' by Kagome. " Sesshomaru said with a chuckle.
She insulted him. A girl, insulted him. That never happened. Girls fell at his feet! And she brushed off his compliment like it was nothing! ' Oh she's going to pay. ' Inuyasha thought angrily as he stormed out of the office.
It took Kagome ten minutes to get over how big the house was. His was three stories high and had about ten garages. ' Good grief and I got to clean this? ' Kagome thought as she knocked on the door.
A girl answered the door. She had long brown hair that was tied up in a ponytail and she had light brown eyes with magenta eye shadow. She wore a white v-neck t-shirt that had her name tag on her right breast and a black skort (A.N. it's a skirt with shorts underneath) that reached to her knees and black flats.
" Hi, you must be the new blood. " the girl said with a chuckle.
" I guess I am...Sango. " Kagome said with a small smile.
" How do you know my name? " Sango asked.
" I read your name tag. " Kagome replied.
Sango's eyes widened and she smacked herself on the forehead. " Duh! Man I keep forgetting that we even have name tags. Sorry about that. Please come in. " Sango said.
Sango let Kagome in and shut the door.
" Welcome to Hell. Or the Takashi's mansion. Whichever name you'd like to call it. As you know I'm Sango, your fellow maid. I with another 10 girls keep this place clean most of the time, Sesshomaru has asked me to be your helper for today so if you have any questions you can ask me. " Sango said as they walked up the enormous marble staircase.
" How come theres only girl maids? " Kagome asked.
" That's Inuyasha's fault. He fires any guy that Sesshomaru employs on purpose. That jerk is a womanizer, it's best that you stay clear from him. " Sango replied.
" I guess it was wrong for me to insult him the other day then. " Kagome said with a sigh.
Sango stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her eyes were the size of dinner plates. " You insulted him? Girl I give you props. That guy will make your life a living hell. Even I don't insult him. I just sabotage his room every once in a while. " Sango said.
" Well don't I feel special. " Kagome said sarcastically.
This girl had nerves, she'd give her that. Maybe she's the type of girl that Inuyasha needed. Someone who would keep him in check and would knock him off his high horse. And hey she didn't fall for his ' that's a pretty name ' line.
" You're alright Kagome. " Sango said with a warm smile.
Sango led her to a room with white walls and beige tiles. It had grey lockers to the let and right. Each locker had a name in black on it. Sango, of course, led her to the locker with her name on it. " Okay in there you'll find your uniform which you have to change into. It's the same as mine basically. You can change in here or theres an employee bathroom across the hall that you can use. " Sango said.
Kagome opened the locker and found exactly was Sango said there was. " I guess I'll change in the bathroom. " Kagome said as she grabbed the clothes. " Okay, after you're done meet me in the kitchen. It's down the stairs and keep going straight you'll run into it. " Sango said in a matter of fact tone.
Kagome nodded and went to the bathroom. She quickly changed and went back to the locker room to put her stuff away. ' At least I haven't bumped into that jerk yet. ' Kagome thought to herself as she closed her locker. Kagome walked out of the locker room and bumped into something solid.
She fell backwards and landed hard on the floor. " Ow... " Kagome said as she rubbed her behind. " Watch where your going sweetheart. You don't want to hurt yourself now do you? " an all too familiar voice rang out.
Kagome looked up to find the devil himself.
Kagome's cheeks burned up in anger. She couldn't believe he let her fall like that. The least he could do was to help her up. But no, he stood there with a cocky grin on his masculine face.
All she wanted to do was to cuss him out. But the fact was, he was one of her bosses. And she needed this job to pay for school. She just had to suck it up. She could sabotage his life later with Sango.
" Sorry sir. " Kagome said as she got up.
" Oh now we're being proper are we? What about that comment yesterday about me eating flies? " Inuyasha said in a bittersweet tone.
" I have work to do so if you'll excuse me. " Kagome said as she began to walk around him. Inuyasha grabbed her and pinned her to the wall. Kagome closed her eyes and breathed very slowly. " Let me go. " Kagome said in a calm tone.
Inuyasha stroked her chin and said in a sweet tone, " You look real cute in that outfit. It suits you rather well. I'll have to thank Sesshomaru later. "
Kagome tried to keep the blush away from her cheeks. He sure as hell knew how to make a woman blush. But he still was a playboy, and she couldn't let him know that he got to her. Inuyasha smiled inwardly as he saw the faint blush on Kagome's face.
He will have her one way or another. Then when he got her, he will laugh in her face and brush her off like any other woman. He will teach her to never mess with Inuyasha Takashi. But he will woo her one little step at a time.
" Well I got to go. Til we meet again sweetheart. " Inuyasha said as he stroked her cheek and walked away.
Kagome put her hand on her cheek as she watched Inuyasha walk away.
" Heaven help me. " Kagome said to herself.
YAY! another chappie! hope you liked it!
