Angels

Chapter 8.


Mind elsewhere Kagome didn't hear her assistant slip into her office. She also missed her assistant head nodding to her low singing.

"Miss. Higurashi- Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. It's just that.. Wow, you're a great singer." Smile wide and genuine Yura clapped gently for her boss.

"Thank you Yura. I just- I dunno' it's just this thing.. When I'm working I have to hum or sing or else I can't focus. Heh', odd, I know." A blush settled on the twenty-three year olds cheeks. She folded her hands neatly on her desk, eyes on the older girl. Hands clasped neatly in front of her Yura stared admiringly at her boss. Clearing her throat Kagome reached a hand out to Yura, her eyes focused on the documents in her assistants' hands. "Yura?.."

"Huh? Oh yeah! Sorry. Spaced there for a second." Handing over the information Yura seated herself on the white cushioned chair that faced her boss's desk. "That's more of the sketches from Totosai. He thought you might want to give an input. Well not thought more like he wants your input." She flashed her boss dazzling white rows of teeth. "So? What do you think of 'em?"

"Umm…" Kagome looked through the sketches of fall dresses, pants, shorts, sandals, scarves, and the works. "Shouldn't this have been done? Last season? I mean-" But she was cut off.

"Oh yeah, yeah that. Well we had a little… Set back last year and it's been a bitc-pain. Pain… To get everything and everyone in order again. But please, still, give an opinion. He might just hold it for next season if not for this year." Yura looked pleadingly at her boss, adding puppy dog eyes and pouted lips. Kagome almost laughed out loud at her puppy dog look attempt. Almost.

"Okay, okay! If you promise NEVER to do that again; like EVER. I will give as much reviews as anyone would like."

"I'm holding you on that Miss. H'!!" And with that Yura stormed out of the office, closing the door gently.

"Of course you are…" With a lop-sided smile, Kagome eyed her clock on her desk. All humor and fun disappeared. "… Damn it. Yura!!" Kagome pushed from her desk to rush to her office closet and pull out her purse and coat. Pulling her hand quickly away she suckled on her right index finger, glaring at closet door. "Shit- ow! Yura! This damn door-"

"Are you EVER happy ANYWHERE?? Honestly.." Kgome's head shot up at the familiar voice.

"You! What are you doing in my office?!" Moving back to her desk, she pulled her phone out of the top drawer, clicking down the list of names, eyeing the waiter skeptically.

"I work her sweetheart." 'Yasha plopped down on the leather sofa positioned against the wall.

"You what?!" Kagome screeched. 'Yasha flinched covering his ears. Yura rushed through the door, eyes wide and alert.

"Kagome?? What's- what-" Turning to face the male in the room, her lips curved upward. "What're you doing in here?"

"Break." He stated popping a bubble he'd made from his gum.

"Wait, wait, you KNOW one another?!" Kagome stared dumbfounded at the two.

"Yeah! He works in the filming." Yura shrugged as if speaking of her new haircut. "No biggie."

Huge biggie! Kagome thought as she stared wide-eyed at the two friends.

^*^

"You know what really SUCKS?" Rin jerked turning her attention from her note taking to the redhead. Still no clue what her first name was. Since the teacher didn't use first names. Rin waited for the green-eyed girl to continue, but soon realized the girl was waiting for her to respond first. Giving an agitated sigh Rin whispered back: "Alarm clocks?" That got a giggle out of the out spoken girl. As if she was contagious Rin soon followed suit. They both tired to surprise their laughter as wary glances where shot their way. Rin rested her head against her desk as she held her sides.

"Miss. Tainaka, Miss. Kudo. I'm interested in what you two think." All laughter gone, the two girls shot panicked glances at one another before both shaking their head. "Of course." Turning back to the board, Professor Takahashi continued his lecture.

Ripping out a sheet of paper from her notebook, green-eyed red head scribbled something down before folding it neatly and dropping it on the ground. Rin stared confused at the odd behavior before catching on and reaching for the note. Which simply read: Ayame.

Rin smiled writing down her own name before passing it to her neighbor. Who was in the middle of writing when the teacher caught her off. "Pages 23 to 56. Read work out the problems we talked about today." Student packed away notebooks, laptops, cell phones, and exited out the class. Moving to the exit, Ayame beside her, Rin stole a glance at her strict professor. And in that moment he looked up, their gazes locking. Rins' breath hitched as she watched his pupils swim in a pool of gold. His gaze only seemed to intensify making a shiver start from her toes and slowly, purposefully, make its way to the crown of her head. She gave a jolt, getting an odd glance from Ayame and a cocky smirk from their teacher. He turned away then, cleaning off the board.

"Rin?" Ayame asked.

Whoa. Was all she could think as Rin kept sending glances over her shoulder to the silver haired man.

Sango tapped gently on the table top, stealing another look at her wristwatch. "They're both late." She mumbled, looking out the window at the murky shadowed day.

"Who is?"

Sango jumped looking at her co-worker. Placing a hand to her heart dramatically, she sighed. "Oh Mr. Miyagi. You scared me!" He smiled down at her.

"May I?" He asked, pointing at an empty chair.

"Oh yes please." She shifted not sure because she getting more comfortable or because of his intense gaze.

"So.. Who's lat-"

"Sango-san!!!" Two different levels of high-pitched squeals traveled from the exit to dance around Mirokus' ears. He flinched turning to look in the direction of the voices..

Perfect. He thought.
