Firevixen73-Alright, I had a few questions about when Inuyasha and Kagome were going to meet, so here you go everyone, they are going to meet! And sory about the late update!

Inuyasha was currently in the gym trying to get a decent work out, but unfortunately his personal trainer was mentally somewhere else. Inuyasha looked over at Hiten and saw him sitting on a stool staring off into space. Inuyasha's eye twitched, so, he threw his water bottle at Hiten's head.

He heard a loud crashing noise and smirked, suddenly Hiten was in front of him a water bottle red mark on his head. "Alright, time to warm up, forty push ups, let's go!"

"Already did that."

"Four laps, let's go."

"Done."

Hiten looked confused. "Where was I?"

"Don't know where your mind was but your body was on that bench."

"Oh…"

"What's up? I don't pay you 250 grand a year for nothing."

"Well…"

"Talk or you're fired."

"There's this girl, she's a real hell fire if you get what I mean, and I'm trying to think of a way to get her hot and heavy."

"Since when do you have woman trouble?"

"I don't, she's just playing hard to get. I mean the longest any woman has ever kept up that game with me was about one week, and then we spent two weeks making up for lost time," he said wickedly, "only thing is I don't think I can wait a whole week for this one."

"What's the deal, it's just a woman? Nothing special there?"

"Obviously you haven't met this one, perfect curves, lush, a vixen, toned-" It was about that time Hiten remembered who he was talking to, this was the man he stole all his ideas from. He wouldn't have a chance if Inuyasha was interested. "Though, you wouldn't like her." he added quickly

"Don't worry, I've got enough woman to keep me busy, Kikyo being at the top of that list, we're not actually dating you know, she just tells everyone that. Besides, why would I want to have to possible try when I would just snap my fingers and have three who are willing to do anything I want? Now, let's get back to training so I can get back to snapping my fingers, it's not easy getting away from the office you know."

God Kagome was tired. It had been three days since she first arrived here and damn, she wasn't actually supposed to be working! Oh, and yesterday was horrible. Kayede was needed at the office downtown, leaving the house and pandemonium erupted the second she left the gates.

Water heater broken, Hiten's wandering everything, gardening, run away maids, lost children…it went on and on and on! Luckily she didn't have to deal with a lot of it, she was just the one everyone happened to complain to about it. She wasn't even sure if Inuyasha was given dinner last night.

Both she and Sango had absolutely no chance to look for the sword, everywhere they went was hell, where they needed help. So, instead of searching for a million dollar blade they were busy helping cleaning the Jacuzzi.

Luckily today had been easier…for the most part. Sango was horror stricken and moody for most of the day. Turned out all the ramen Kagome had made was well, gone. Needless to say she wasn't happy. Sucky thing was their were so many people who could have done it she couldn't vent properly so everyone turned into targets.

Kagome flung herself onto her bed, all she wanted was a good night's rest where the troubles of this house weren't hers.

Inuyasha laid lazily on his bed, calculating the day. Maten had stopped by again, with nothing really important, he was just snooping. The office had been a bore, paperwork, handshaking and more paperwork.

He watched as the butler came in and deposited his cart of food, the main course being covered with a silver casing to preserve the heat. He glanced over at the clock, 11:49, he was getting home later and later.

Only good thing was he could screen Kikyo's calls at work, usually. When she did get through she would start talking about marriage and what color the brides maid's dresses would be, which was ironic considering he hadn't even asked her, then again, she always was the pushy type.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw the butler leave the room. He mentally noted that no oath was said, he guessed it really didn't matter, he only made it up for people who he wanted to prove his superiority over.

He walked over to his desk and lifted the silver cover ready for the dinner he had been looking forward to all day.

Inuyasha found himself stomping down the horror stricken halls towards Kayede's room. He looked at her door as pounded on it with his fist. He took a large breath and yelled. "Kayede, open this door right now, I don't care if your freakin sleeping just open it!"

"What is it?" she asked groggily while opening the wooden door

"My food you old hag."

She rubbed her eyes, "Why are you complaining to me child? If your steak isn't cooked right complain to the cook."

Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched, he had told her about calling him child. Luckily she had been with him for to long to fire and he was focused on something else at the moment. "Last night I had ramen when I got home, I told you I wanted it again tonight."

The eye that didn't have an eye patch went wide. "Oh, your ramen, I totally forgot."

"No kidding." he crossed his arms defiantly, like a little child who has just won an argument with its parents

"Alright, well, you'll just have to have it tomorrow." Kayede's voice went quieter and quieter with each word, like she was trying to solve a puzzle, till eventually Inuyasha had to stretch to hear what she was saying.

"No, I want it tonight, and I always get what I want! Where is this girl's room?"

"What, are you kidding? Master Inuyasha it's so late at night and she has been working hard all day. She's probably asleep by now. Are you actually selfish enough to wake her to feed your lousy stomach?"

Inuyasha gave Kayede a growl. He didn't understand what Kayede was asking; if someone other than the cook made it she would have tried the food as a sample. Was it just him, was he the only one who could taste the similarity? "It tastes like mom's Kayede, the stuff she used to make for me when I was sick, remember? I searched for years for someone else with a similar recipe, you know that. I'm only going to ask one more time, where is her room?"

"But-"

"Now." He held an authority in his voice, an authority that hadn't been heard in this house since Inuyasha's father died.

"Follow me," she said though slightly depressed "though, I should warn you, Kagome isn't like most of the other workers here. She isn't intimidated and doesn't really care about status. Threats won't work on her."

Kayede rounded the next corner and went down a few flights of stairs, rounding the last corner Inuyasha found this place feeling familiar, though he didn't know why.

"Ok, this is it." Inuyasha looked at the door, the familiar feeling running though him once again, he just couldn't place it. He finally lifted his hand, and knocked.

As he was waiting his senses picked up the rustling noises from the other side of the door. Through the crack at the bottom of the door he saw a light come on. He could hear his heart pounding, why was it pounding?

The door opened to reveal a woman, the small lamps light cascading around her. She had to be in her early twenties and had long layered black hair. She wore short volleyball shorts that were red, along with a white see-through tank top with a red sports bra underneath. Her leg rested against the frame of the door while the remainder of her body relaxed against the other side of the frame.

For some odd reason Inuyasha couldn't get his mouth to properly respond to the commands his brain was ordering.

"Kagome, I know it is incredibly late, and this is rather awkward, and you haven't been working here long, but…do you think you can make some more of that ramen you made the other day?"

Kagome stared blankly at Kayede, "You're kidding right?"

Kayede scratched her head, indicating her utter embarrassment. "Well, no, I made a promise to Inuyasha that I would give him some more tonight and I forgot, and well, what Inuyasha wants, Inuyasha gets."

He saw the woman in front of him scan him over, then, out of now where and to his utter disbelief, she rolled her eyes. The raven haired beauty stepped around his still incapable form and headed off to the kitchens.

Inuyasha stood there, stunned. Had a woman, a simple female, just knocked him off his feet? Had he just been left in the dark? Did she roll her eyes at him? What the hell was wrong with this picture? Oh, that's right, it's supposed to be and has always been, the exact opposite.

This scene had not just happened, he was just thrown off by his hunger. Ya, that was it, he was hungry, and tired. He had been working all day after all, and, and there were a million reasons for what had just happened.

Inuyasha turned around and started to head off into the kitchen, with each step reassuring himself, explaining himself, convincing himself. Finally walking into the kitchen he saw the girl standing there next to the pan filled with hot water, noodles and spices. Looking at her again he noticed something odd, in a way, she resembled Kikyo.

Same bone structure, same nose, same chin, same complexion. Though there were differences, this girls lips, they were fuller, and her fingers were slimmer, but her eyes, her eyes were the major difference, they were strong and full of life unlike Kikyo's sometimes dead ones which seemed to always hold no inner spark.

"Wench, you done yet?"

The woman looked up from her stirring and at Inuyasha, who once again found himself stunned. "What the hell did you just call me?"

Inuyasha was knocked from his daze at the tone in her voice, she was pissed. What the hell? No woman has ever gotten mad at him. "I said, wench, are you done yet? I'm fucking hungry."

He smirked as he stressed a certain word, hell, this was kind of fun. He watched as her eye twitched, his heart started to race. He watched as she took a large breath in and then slowly exhaled.

"My name is Kagome."

"Whatever wench."

He leaned against the counter as he saw the vein on her forehead pulse. She stomped over to him. "Say it with me, I know it may be hard for your brain to comprehend but stretch those unused brain cells, Ka-go-me, Kagome."

He rolled his eyes and smirked again. "We-n-ch, Wench, hey, your right that was easy."

"Why you-" She was cut off by the squeaking of the door and Kayede's entrance. "Ah, there ye are Inuyasha, I was wondering where ye were. Kagome child, is the ramen done?"

Kagome gave him an icy glare and turned back towards the dish and stirred it a couple more times, now completely avoiding Inuyasha's general direction. "Yes, it should be done now, may I leave?"

"Yes child, oh, I'll be right back, I'm going to get an extra Tupperware dish so we can save some." with that Kayede headed out the door, once again leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone

Kagome walked over and cleaned up part of the mess she made and threw the dirty dish rag in the sink, indicating its need to be washed. Without a glance in Inuyasha's direction, let alone acknowledgement that he existed, she attempted to head out the door, but Inuyasha had other plans.

His voice rang in her head. "I believe you are forgetting a certain pledge."

She turned around, attempting to control her temper, damn, she couldn't stand guys like this. "You mean that idiotic saying you have your work chanting as if you were some leader of a cult?"

"Yes, that's the one." he smirked again, crossing his arms, believing he had already won. There was something he is going to have to learn about her, she always gets the last word in.

"Right, I'm sorry." she turned and faced Inuyasha so they were looking directly at each other. Putting on a perfect angel face, who was nothing but sincere she began the pledge. "May the utterly useless and arrogant jackass Inuyasha rot in the back garden along with all the worms."

Kagome suppressed every emotion in her body as she watched his face drop into disbelief and astonishment, score for her. She waved the tips of her fingers and winked. "Goodbye now." and skipped out the door towards her bedroom.

Screw the plan to not get noticed, that was totally worth it.
