A/N ignore the many mistakes until one of you all who complain offer to be a beta or something but until then bear with the mistakes


The jet ride was just like any other plane except it was all first class instead of having the economic class and all that what not. 30 passengers including Kagome and them were waited upon by six stewardesses. It was nice but hardly something to get loud about. What did shock her was the run way at the Lumbarc estate's back yard. It was large enough to hold three overgrown planes, this was ridiculous. They were let off the jet and a group of black cars with drivers standing in front of them beckoning Kagome and the rest of the passengers. Those cars brought the passengers to the largest mansion surrounded by smaller then that 80, 000 square feet house. Women wearing gold dress and their hair in a high bun showed the guests the way to the main hall, there were many who already arrived. The golden girls said "enjoy" and walked away. "Well I'm going to wish my sister a happy birthday you should go find your seats."

Jasmine then walked away from them. The rest of the passengers had already dispersed and Kagome was left with the kids and Sesshomaru. "Come," and she followed. A man with a loose gold dress shirt and black pants stopped them, "Merlot?" Kagome took a glass. "We'll be back!" Rin shouted. Before Kagome could stop them, Rin had grabbed Shippo and run off to the little boys standing near a fountain. "I've been thinking about it all day, but I just couldn't find an answer. Why did you invite me here?"

"Sesshomaru, it's so nice of you to come here, ah and with a female companion at that." Kagome turned to face a woman with the longest, blackest hair she had ever seen up close. The woman was a European woman with height to rival Sesshomaru and her eyes were a deep blue. "However, you still haven't wished me a happy birthday. Kagome's eyes widened, "Hello, I'm Thuy Lumbarc you must be-"

"Kagome Higurashi," Sesshomaru cut her off, "She's the mother of Rin." While Kagome was shaking Ms. Lumbarc's hand, shoe could have gotten whip lash the way she turned to look at Sesshomaru. She was not the mother of Rin, why would he lie like that. "Well it's nice to finally meet you" Kagome nodded and released Ms. Lumbarc's hand. "I do believe you work at New Chic."

"O-oh yes," Kagome stuttered. She handed Sesshomaru her drink and tried looking for a business card. Thuy was already handing her own to Kagome. After finally Ms. Lumbarc her business card, she broke out in a grin. "Oh! You're that Kagome. My sister speaks of you all the time. You do great work."

"Well, I can't say great. I just do my best."

"Jasmine explained that you were probably the reason New Chic is so successful." Kagome shook her head, "It's all the staff at New Chic which makes the magazine appeal to all readers."

Thuy eyed her, "and your modest too. You are just the kind of person I should have working for me." Kagome shook her head with a smile. "We should go find our seats." Sesshomaru spoke. "O-oh yeah."

"Well, it was nice meeting you Ms. Higurashi. It'll be great to speak with you again." The woman clad in a baby blue dress and thousands of diamonds around her neck, wrists, ears and fingers walked away. "She's so nice." Sesshomaru nodded but then said, "you should steer cleat form her, she has a nasty reputation." Confused, Kagome took her drink back and headed off to her seat."

Kagome was in her office re-reading every one's articles which had to do with health or make-up. "So did you meet her?!" Kagome looked up form her pile of documents, "who, your sister?" Jasmine nodded.

"Where'd you disappear to? That's what I need to know first. How do you leave us and never come back?

"I stayed the night. Come on Kagome tell me! Answer the question."

"Yes I met her."

"Annnd……….. Was she a complete creepo?"

"No… actually was kind. I didn't know you talk about me. Everything good I hope."

"What?" Jasmine sat down on the couch. "Your sister told me you talk about me all the time." Jasmine shook her head. "I hardy ever talk to that woman. The last time I even said two words to her was the day of my birthday and it was to talk about a father day gift. I was surprised she asked me to stay over on Friday." Kagome was at a lost for words. "Never once did I talk about you to her."

BEEP the intercom asked for attention. She took a second before pressing listen. "Shippo has arrived with your mother." Kagome's eyes widened.

"Mamma!" Kagome's mother entered her office wearing a long grey sweater, a tight black turtle neck, blue jeans and grey flat boots. "I thought you were never going to see me again!"

"You have a date with that Hojo boy the day after tomorrow at 7, he'll you up from your our home and I'll watch Shippo."

"Mamma, I don't want to-"

"Kagome, I much rather not have this argument right now." Jasmine sat there watching the match of the mother and daughter go on for a while then they both froze and stared at her. "Don't mind me!" Shippo rolled his eyes before running to jump on her.

"Mamma, I don't-"

"Just this once, do as I ask. I'm sure Hojo will make you very happy." Her mother kissed her on the forehead and waved goodbye. "Bye GRANDMA!"

"So she's trying to set you up?"

"Ever since I turned 21, she's been bugging me about getting married, and then I told her I wanted Shippo and Rin, we had this big fight about being a single mom, but I still adopted him. She keeps bringing up she had so much problems trying to raise Souta and me." Kagome took her seat then slammed her head on her desk. "OW"

BEEP She pressed listen. "A Ms. Rin is here to see you."

"Let her in."

"Rin!" Shippo shouted.

"It's that lady!" Run shouted at Jasmine upon entering. "It isn't polite to shout in front of adults." Kagome mumbled form her desk. "What are you doing here?" Kagome raised her head and got up from her seat to sit down next to Jasmine. She laid down and used Jasmine's head as a pillow. "Mr. Sesshomaru said if I wanted I could go bother Kagome so here I am!"

"He really said that?" Rin nodded. "Hey you said 'I'." Shippo exclaimed. "Rin's teacher said saying I will make Rin sound smarter so I'm going to say 'I' more."

"But you just said Rin again. "Shippo point and Rin pouted. "Rin's still working on it."

"Well, I guess everyone will just have to watch me work. Yeah, well either that or Jasmine takes you two away."

"YAY takes us away."

"You take me and Sango as babysitters but we aren't?"

"I don't have to pay you guys."

Kagome walked down the grocery store lane, Shippo hurried off in front of her. She brought a box of cereal and headed down to the pastas and sauces. "Ms. Higurashi?" Kagome turned to see Thuy Lumbarc behind her. "Wow, the world is so small." Kagome nodded. "Are you doing some shopping?"

"Yeah- yes. I wouldn't have thought you would be grocery shopping at such a local place." Kagome said.

"Well, I was in the neighborhood and I didn't feel like eating out." Kagome nodded. "So did you think about my offer?"

"What offer?"

"Why, to come work for me of course."

"Oh, wow, I thought you were joking around. It'll be an honor but I'm conf-"

"How about you think about it and we'll have brunch tomorrow. I'll call your office to set the place."

"But I-"

"Don't disappoint me." And with that, she walked away leaving her basket on the floor filled with pasta. Hmm she got the good kind to.

Tuesday came and with that a phone call telling her to meet Ms. Lumbarc at 5th Avenue Café. "They don't have brunch on Tuesdays but we might as well eat lunch." Thuy said as they took their seats. "I think I'll have the Chicken Dorati, and maybe a salad what about you."

"I'll just have that," they ordered that and a drink. "Ms. Higurashi, I do think you'll be a lovely addition to our monthly paper to the share holders. You can write about anything that pleases you. All you'll have to do is make it relevant to the company."

"I don't want to sound rude but I will have to decline your invitation. I am comfortable with my career and I work hard at what I love to do."

"I can double your income."

"I don't think you-"

"Triple, and give you some of my real estate."

"I don't know why you are trying so hard to get me to work for you, but nothing you can say will make me quit New Chic and make me work some where I don't know much about other then it makes new technology." Their drinks came and they both took a sip. While Kagome was still drinking Thuy stopped and said, "Listen, maybe you're not getting this. I'm not asking anymore. I tried to do it nicely, you know, offer money but you decided to make this difficult. I am telling you to come work for me. If you refuse, I'll make your life miserable until you do."

Kagome choked on her Ice Tea. "Why are you doing this? I don't even know you that well. I haven't done a thing to offend you, have I? and-"

"Just do as I ask and we will have a very peaceful relationship."

"But why."

"Kagura and Sesshomaru are to be married; I can't have you to stand in their way."

"WHAT!"

"Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer." The waitress came to them with their food. "Is everything alright here?"

"Actually could you wrap this up, I just don't have the time to stay and eat." The waitress nodded and Thuy and to took the food to walk away. "I have nothing to do with the two, how can I be an enemy. I haven't seen Kagura since high school, how could she possibly-"

"You should ask her that." Thuy pulled out her credit card, "I don't want to be the bad guy so just come work for me. That way I can keep a close eye on you and I can make sure you don't stand in their way."

"No!"

"hm… you're going to regret that." Thuy paid the bill and walked out.
