Chapter 5 Crossed World
Continuation…
"Kik…Kikyou?" His eyes are widening, brows furrowing with confusion as he looks closely to the gaping girl below him. He thought for a moment, 'Wait…blue-gray? But Kikyou's eyes are brown…this girl…'
"Stop staring!" Kagome shouted on his face not really realizing first their 'position'.
"I'm not staring at you wench!" He propped his elbows and looked sideways, before he could register in his brain that he's on top of the girl. The girl screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Inuyasha blocked his ears with his hands that caused him to fall back on her stomach.
"Pervert! Get off me! Get off me!" She shoved him with her hands and he rolled over but their legs are still tangled. She ended up on top of him and bumped their foreheads.
"Ouch!" They said in unison while clutching their foreheads. Kagome was the first to recover.
SLAP
Inuyasha's face was red in anger as he shoved Kagome and she landed on her behind a few inches away from him.
"Awww! You jerk! Why did you do that!" She hissed in pain then threw death glares on his direction.
"You slapped me bitch!" He said while pointing a finger on his face with red handprint. Kagome jumped up and stood.
"Because you're a pervert and I'm going to charge you with sexual harassment!" Her hands fisted in her sides while her brows are twitching in anger. ( A/N: Isn't that ironic? - )
"What! I'm not harassing you! You're the one who bumped on me that's why I ended up on top of you!" He crossed his arms over his chest smirking arrogantly. "Keh! Besides no sane guy would want to be in that disgusting position with an ugly bitch like you!" He spat.
"Why you! Bastarddddd!" She screamed again on top of her lungs.
"Shut up wench! You're breaking my eardrums!" Inuyasha is clutching his ears tightly once again.
"You are a total jerk!"
"Loud bitch!"
"Asshole!"
"Slut!"
"Idiot!"
"Whore!"
"Grrrrrrr! You're the most insensitive! Pig headed! Foul-mouthed! Dog-faced jerk! I've ever seen!" Her body shook in anger, her hair flew slightly, her eyes on fire when he shouted on his face and stomped away down the stairs.
Inuyasha could only gaze at the stomping girl and shook his head.
"Women today are so violent… and loud." He mumbled with a scowling face.
Sango was surprised when she spotted Kagome coming her way. The elevator was already fixed a few minutes ago.
"Kagome-chan, you look distracted…"
"I'm not distracted Sango I'm furious!" Her face was a still red, brows furrowed.
"Ok, ok calm down." Sango held her hands up. "What happened?"
"Well, I just raced down the stairs from the 10th floor when I bumped into a complete, annoying, biggest jerk I've ever met in my entire life." She somehow calmed herself.
"We better get back to work, Kagome, the new president is here today." Sango said remembering her previous encounter with the young president.
"Really Sango?" Her face lit up, totally forgetting the incident she had been a while ago.
"Yeah, and he doesn't seem to be as nice as you assume he is…" Sango trailed off.
"Oh." Kagome said thoughtfully.
On the 10th floor inside the President's office, Miroku is sitting comfortably in the President's swivel chair. His crossed legs are resting on the table while he's busy flipping over the pages of Time magazine.
Inuyasha bashed into the door with an annoyed look plastered all over his face. Miroku put down the magazine and peaked on his friend's annoyed expression while putting his hands on the back of his head.
"What took you so long Inuyasha? Don't tell me you got caught in a traffic too." He said grinning like an idiot.
"Don't start Miroku…and get out of my chair!" he growled. He knew perfectly if he's friend is serious or not. And from the looks of things, he's dead serious.
Miroku stood up and moved away from Inuyasha, knowing his friend's temper. Inuyasha flopped down on the swivel chair; the loud girl who insulted him hasn't left his mind. ' I better not see that wench again…she's annoying and she looks like Kikyou…that bitch.'
"Inuyasha, the EVP's Secretary just called a while ago. She said you have to go to the conference room now so you could meet the Board of Directors," he said while straightening his suit.
"Another bunch of idiots…" He always hates company meetings and conferences with all the old members of the boards, it bores him to death.
"Your father wouldn't be so happy if he finds out that you're late in your first day of work, Inuyasha." He stated with a grin and headed to the door.
"Keh!" is his only reply and followed Miroku.
He walks along the alley following Miroku, glancing side ways, mentally noticing all the curious stares he receives from the employees passing them. He didn't notice the rushing girl coming his way until he bumped on her…again.
"You!" They said in unison. Everyone turned his and her attention to the two.
"What are you doing here? Following me?" Kagome asked furiously.
"Keh! Why would I follow you?" he said smirking, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Because you're a pervert!" Inuyasha's face reddened with anger. How could possibly this girl insults him in front of his own employees.
"I'm not a pervert wench!"
"Don't call me wench! I have a name. Kagome! Ka-go-me!"
Sango gasped when she heard Kagome shouted and saw the scene. Her jaw dropped. Miroku was just gaping like a fish. He tried to say something but not a single word came out of his mouth. He shot Sango an if-you-know-the-girl-make-her-stop-or-she'll-be-doomed look.
"I'll call you what ever I want to, wench!" He said in a mocking voice.
"Jerk!"
"Kagome, stop…" Sango tried to shut her when a secretary popped out of nowhere.
"Excuse me Mr. Takagi, but the Board of Directors are waiting. Please follow me this way."
Kagome limped when she heard the secretary said 'Takagi'. She turned her head to a smirking Inuyasha and saw a triumphant grin on his face. Her face paled, she could feel her own blood pumping furiously in her veins, her heart racing in her chest, and she could even hear her own heart beat. lub dub, lub dub She gulped a couple of times nervously. Her hands are cold as ice while shock and fear flashed in her eyes.
"Let's go Miroku." He followed the secretary, Miroku looked back to Sango, when he saw her shaking the Kagome girl.
"Kagome? Are you alright?" She shook her shoulder.
She blinked before flopping down to the nearest chair.
"Sango…that's Inuyasha Takagi…the new President?"
"I'm afraid…yes." Sango gave a pitying look on her.
"I blew it…didn't I?" Sango nodded.
The whole day at Takagi Advertising Unlimited has gone quite peacefully. Creative Department was busy for the preparation of their next commercial, but not for Kagome. She has been trying to avoid the office of the President, thinking of the most horrible things to come.
"Kagome calm down, ok." Sango patted her shoulders.
"How can I? What if he fires me? I just got promoted, and and…oh Gods!" She buried her face in her hands. "I feel so stupid… I shouldn't have let my temper got the best of me."
"Stop blaming yourself, will you? In my opinion, he's a real jerk too but because he's the new President you have to apologize…force yourself if you have to." Sango gave a weak smile.
"But he has to apologize to me either," she said defensively.
"Well…we can hope for that," Sango stated.
The Creative Department Supervisor stood in the middle of the room and called everyone's attention. "Listen everyone, our new president we'll be having a meeting with our department tomorrow morning. We're looking forward to gain his trust so do your best to impress him. Don't be late tomorrow, everyone must attend!"
The crowd started to get noisy, that signaled the end of a day's work.
"Don't worry Kag it's not the end of the world." Sango cheered Kagome as they headed to the elevator.
"Guess I have to face Armageddon tomorrow, right?" She teased half-heartedly.
Kagome lazily climbed the steps to the Shrine where she lives with her mother, her brother Souta and her son. Her son… 'If I lose my job, what would happen to my son…it's hard to find a high paying job that I have now. But what if the jerk fires me tomorrow…ugh… sigh Why did he has to be the new President…why can't he be just the messenger or the janitor perhaps? Why should he be a jerk? Why is he so annoying? Why does he look so good? Why is he so hot…and gorgeous…Oh Gods! I didn't just think that, did I?' She mentally kicked herself before opening the door with her keys.
"Tadaima!" She called out.
"Mama!" her son popped behind her. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. Her son is already 4 years old, one month from now and he's turning 5. He has dark hair like her mother just a bit lighter; he looks taller than his age. His features were mostly resembled from her mother but one thing he didn't get from her is his eye color and his stubbornness. He has expressive golden eyes and a stubborn attitude to match, but Kagome and her family loves him so much anyway. He's their little angel.
"How's my Inari-chan? Did you behave yourself?" She asked her son kneeling in front of him, holding his shoulder.
"Inari behaved, Mama!" He said smiling but with a glint of mischief in his eyes. Kagome narrowed her eyes but still smiling.
"Ok…where's uncle Souta?" She asked and his face lit up as he grinned from ear to ear. She noticed that he's holding something in his hands behind his back, when they heard a scream…
"Inari-chan! Come here you brat!" Kagome heard her brother scream from the top of his lungs and looked accusingly at her son.
"What did you do this time that made your uncle Souta scream like a girl?" He smiled innocently and showed the thing that he hid behind his back.
A black permanent marker…
Kagome sweat dropped.
Some things to watch out for in the next chapter…Will Kagome lose her job? Will Miroku ask her to bare his child? Will Sango slap him again? Will Inuyasha see his son? Will Souta survive the 'evil permanent marker'? …Who knows? hahahahahaha
