It had only been two days since she had been hired. And in those two days she realized why the ad asked for people who could do strenuous housework.

Kagome wanted to hang herself when she saw the gigantic mess from one of Inuyasha's parties. Liquor was spilled all over the place, food was either half eaten or thrown up, and there was even an occasional lingerie on the floor or lamp.

" You've got to be kidding me. " Kagome said as she gazed upon the mess.

" Yep. And this is actually a good day. Just wait for a bad day. " Sango said with a chuckle.

" I don't think I want to see a bad day. " Kagome said as she got down on her knees to scrub the alcohol off the floor. It was only a few minutes when a woman walked into the room. She looked like she rarely had sleep. Then again Kagome wasn't stupid. She knew exactly why she didn't get any sleep. Because she was Inuyasha's pick of the night.

She looked like a super model. Her black hair reached her shoulders and her blue eyes stood out from her pale skin.

" Oh hey you're a maid right? " the woman said to Kagome.

' Well I am wearing a uniform and I'm cleaning the damn mess that you and your friends left behind...so yeah I am a damn maid aren't I? ' Kagome thought to herself.

" Yea I am. " Kagome replied as she gritted her teeth.

" Oh great. I just wanted to ask you if you could show me the door. I got a hangover and I don't know exactly where I am. " the woman said as she rubbed her temples.

" Sure. " Kagome said as she got up and led the way.

It took longer to reach the door since the woman kept grabbing her head and telling Kagome that the room was spinning and she was tripping all over herself.

Kagome almost did a happy dance as she finally got the woman to the front door and happily shoved her out.

" Thank the Gods. " Kagome said with a sigh.

" Now somebody looks a little stressed. " a voice rang out.

At that moment, Kagome wanted to scream and run. Inuyasha was at the foot of the stairs, wearing nothing but pajama pants.

' He so did that on purpose. ' Kagome thought angrily. But she couldn't help but to admire Inuyasha's well toned chest and arms. And that was what made her angry. She couldn't help but look.

" Like something you see? " Inuyasha said in a teasing tone.

' You pompous pig! ' Kagome thought as she bit her lip in anger. She wanted to yell at him, tell him the world didn't revolve around him. That there was indeed men more attractive than him. But he was one of her bosses. And she had to respect him or bye bye job.

" I have work to do. " Kagome said calmly as she walked past Inuyasha.

" You'll be mine soon enough. " Inuyasha whispered as he watched Kagome's retreating back.

" So he bumped into you again? " Sango asked as she sprayed a window.

Kagome nodded as she picked up bottles from the floor. " It's like he makes it an objective to see me or something. " Kagome said in a knowing tone.

" Really? I just think he's a jerk and he wants to annoy you and get you fired. " Sango said with a snort.

--

Kagome shrugged and said, " I guess. "

" Just becareful around him ok? He knows how to get to a girl, he says all the right things and makes all the right moves. He'll hurt you if he can get a chance Kagome. " Sango said in a worried tone.

Kagome smiled and said, " Don't worry. He can try to get to me if he wishes. "

Then a man walked into the room. He had black hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail. His eyes were a dark blue and his build was slender. He wore faded blue jeans with a green abercrombie and fitch t-shirt.

He looked at Kagome and scratched him chin. " I don't think we've met young lady since I practically know all of Inuyasha's employees. I'm Miroku, his partner in crime if you will. " Miroku said as he gave Kagome his hand to shake.

Kagome smiled and shook his hand. " Nice to meet you I'm Kagome. " Kagome said as she got up from the floor. Then before she knew it she felt a hand caress her backside. Kagome's eyes widened. " PERV! " Kagome yelled as she punched Miroku in the jaw. Miroku flew backwards and fell to the floor.

Sango meanwhile was still calmly cleaning the windows. " I see Miroku has graced us with his prescence. " Sango said with a sigh.

Miroku then looked past Kagome to Sango. " Aw Sango you know I came to see you why must you act so mean to me? " Miroku said with a whiny tone.

" Because you're a perv and you only care about getting a woman into bed. " Sango said in a sure tone.

" I think you got him spot on. " Inuyasha said as he strode into the room.

" Now wait just a second Inu now you're agreeing with her? " Miroku said.

" Well it takes a perv to know a perv. " Sango said with a smirk.

" Ouch. " Inuyasha said as he held a hand over his heart. " That hurt Sango. " Inuyasha said with a pout.

Kagome gave Sango a high five. " Good one. " Kagome said with a giggle.

Inuyasha's gaze then went from Sango to Kagome. There was something in those golden eyes that made Kagome look instantly to her feet. It always made her uncomfortable. Like as if she was meat on a platter.

" Am I that ugly that you'd rather look at your feet? " Inuyasha said in a fake hurt tone.

" I think so Inu. You're not as good looking as me. " Miroku said as he got up from the floor. The comment he made had a smack on the back as a reply.

" Ow! " Miroku whined.

" That made me feel better. " Inuyasha said with a smirk.

" Man is today beat up Miroku day? " Miroku said with a pout.

" Yep. " Inuyasha said in a matter of fact tone.

" So are we going to see that new movie with the robot or what? " Miroku asked.

" Yeah yeah we'll see the damn movie. " Inuyasha replied.

" Don't eat to much candy, it'll go to your thighs. " Sango said.

" I'll make a note of that. " Inuyasha said as he rolled his eyes.

Kagome stumbled out of the grocery with a myriad of bags in her arms. ' Please don't drop them. Please don't drop them. ' Kagome thought as her arms began to quiver from all the weight.

This was one of those times when she wished that she had a man in her life. It was times like these that she wished she had something who could help her. Someone to hold her when she had a bad day. But hey, you can't always have what you want.

And it was times like these when she thought of Koga.

He was her first love. And til this day she still thought of him. They dated for three years in high school. Ever since they met in 9th grade they instantly liked eachother. He would always wait by her locker with a huge smile on his face. And he would leave her love notes on her desk when she walked into her class. It was the best years of her life. But all good things have to come to an end she supposed.

When his father had a promotion he had to move away. They both decided that neither of them could be mature enough for a long distance relationship so they ended it on mutual terms.

How was he now? Where was he? Is he happily married?

All these questions and more ran through her mind. Sadly when Kagome was thinking about these things several bags fell to the ground.

" Oh geez what am I doing? " Kagome said angrily. She bent down to pick up the rest of the bags when she saw a pair of vans in front of her. She looked up to the see the owner of the shoes. It was none other that Inuyasha himself.

" Need some help? " Inuyasha asked as he bent down to pick up the bags.

" No thanks but I got it. " Kagome said as she grabbed all the bags and got up.

" You sure? " Inuyasha asked.

Kagome struggled with the bags and said, " Yea. "

Inuyasha let out a frustrated sigh and said, " Give me those now or I'll tell Sesshomaru that you've been drinking on the job. "

Kagome's eyes narrowed. " You wouldn't dare. " Kagome said.

Inuyasha smirked and said, " Try me sweetheart. "

Kagome just threw some bags at Inuyasha and kept walking.

Inuyasha was surprised at the sudden action but caught the bags nonetheless.

For several minutes they walked in an uncomfortable silence. Then it was Kagome who was brave enough to break it. " Why are you helping me? " Kagome asked.

Inuyasha shrugged and said, " Hey I was walking, minding my own business when I saw some chick walk out of a grocery store, barely holding on to her bags and I said to myself, ' you know what Inu? you haven't done your good deed for the day. ' So I decided to help. "

" Well thank you mother Theresa. " Kagome said in a sarcastic tone.

" Welcome. So what were you thinking about? It looked like you were in a trance or something. " Inuyasha said.

" None ya. " Kagome replied.

" None ya? " Inuyasha asked.

" None ya business playboy. " Kagome said.

" Well aren't we a bit feisty? " Inuyasha said with a smile. " Yeah I guess so. " Kagome said with a shrug.

" Okay if you won't tell me then let me guess. You were thinking about an old sweetheart, someone you have loved and lost. Am I close? " Inuyasha asked.

Kagome stopped in her tracks. " How could you know that? " Kagome said slowly.

Inuyasha stopped as well. He looked at her, his gaze held such intensity that Kagome almost had to look at her feet again, but it wasn't because she felt like meat, she felt overpowered by the emotion in his eyes.

" Lets just say I've been there and done that. " Inuyasha said in a depressed tone.

And they said no more. They continued to walk til they reached Kagome's door.

" Thanks for the help. It's greatly appreciated. " Kagome said as she put her bags down so she could reach her keys.

" Don't mention it. See you tomorrow. " Inuyasha said as he put the bags down and left.

Kagome watched Inuyasha's retreating back in wonder. It was that moment, when she looked into his eyes that she saw a trace of humanity in him. But then it was gone in an instant. Now he was back to playboy mode. But it was that moment, that she saw a whole new side of him.

" How could she get to me like that? " Inuyasha said to himself as he lay in his bed.

How could she make him confess that he had loved someone and lost? Well, it was a long time ago. And the girl, was nothing but a whore who wanted him for his money. Her name was Kikyo, and she was the most beautiful girl he had ever met. He met her when he was in the eleventh grade. And they happily dated for a year. He couldn't have been happier. Til Miroku had been the bearer of bad news when he told Inuyasha that he caught Kikyo talking to her friends about how she merely dated him for his money. And that she also had Naraku, the son of another business man, at her feet as well. Inuyasha grew angry and broke up with Kikyo the next day. Then after that, he made a new philosophy. Just go from girl to girl and make absolutely no attachment. That way he could get what he wanted and not be betrayed. Then he partied more as well. He became this new being that he actually thought he'd never be. But he prefered it more than the loser he was before.

He was so naive, so trusting before. It was only Miroku who had never tried to betray his trust. And now, years later, some girl decides to walk into his life and for a brief moment, make him bring out his old self, the personality that he buried deep within. All he knew now was his playboy acts, his parties, and his women. And now, Kagome was breaking it all down.

" I won't let her do this to me. " Inuyasha said.

He would continue his plan with caution. He will finish what he started.
