Firevixen73-I had so much fun writing the last chapter, and from what I can tell people liked it so I'm happy. Here is the next one, please enjoy.

Kagome sat in the middle of her room as she contemplated a few things. Most of all that it probably wasn't the best of ideas to tell of Inuyasha like she did. Ya, it felt incredibly good when she did it, and she slept wonderfully that night, but, now that she had time to think about, maybe not the best of plans. Stupid damn ass conscious that loved to torment her. God, she was just dreading today, hell, maybe she'll get lucky and he'll be working all day and won't remember the girl who undermineded any sense of authority he believed to once possess. No…she wasn't that lucky.
Inuyasha stared blankly at his personal trainer, though his mind was still on last night. That stupid wench hadn't left his thoughts. He continued to stare as he recapped the night before. No woman had ever challenged him, very few men had even dared to do so, yet she had as if it was second nature. Stupid woman didn't know what she had just gotten herself into.

"Kagome, so when are we going to go shopping for the Demon Ball?" whined Ayame from the other line

Kagome sighed as she laid across the bed. Her head was currently hanging off one of the sides as, since she was laying on her back, her shoulders touched the sides. Her feet dangled over the other side of the twin sized mattress. How many times had they been over this? Sometimes she forgot how vain Ayame could be. "When you can convince Sango that she has to come," she said lazily over her bed as she held the phone with one hand.

Kagome thought about her day, she really needed a break, maybe a good shopping spree would be nice, hell, maybe they should go tonight. Kayede would probably give her the night off if she asked and this already was Sango's day off. "Hey Ayame, meet me and Princess Diana at Taco Bell in about an hour. The ball is in a couple of days and I really need to get out. The one off main and Broadway."

Kagome stretched and pulled herself up from her position as she listened to Ayame. "Oh, thank you girl, I promise you'll have fun, maybe we can get our nails done too. You know, no matter what Sango says she really does like our girl days. I don't know why she just can't admit it out loud."

"It's called pride, she tends to have a lot of it, see you in a few."

"Bye."

Kagome clicked the off button of her non-traceable cell and stretched her arms again, this time behind her back. Relaxing her body against the bed she slowly sat up and headed for Sango's room dreading what she was going to have to do.

Walking out of her room and walking a few halls down she reached the wood door. Knocking once, and then one more time after a three second break, indicating to Sango it was her, she stepped in.

Scanning the room and not finding Sango she immediately headed over to the girls closet. Unlocking it she skimmed through the various outfits and sighed. How was she going to convince Sango to go with them? Contrary to what others might think Sango loved getting dressed up and spending hours on makeup and hair, but she refused to be seen as weak or in any way less capable then a man.

Hearing the door creek open she prepared herself for the battle that was sure to come. "That bastard, who does he think he is grabbing my ass like that?"

She watched Sango curse as she stepped through the door, then their eyes met. Sango's furious ones and Kagome's amused ones. "I met Miroku today," was all Sango said to her.

"So, what's he like?" asked Kagome

Sango's frame stiffened, "He's a freaking bastard who needs to keep his filthy hands to himself. It's degrading enough that we have to wear, let alone be seen in, these horrible outfits but now him too? All men suck. That's it, I'm wearing pants tomorrow."

Hmm, maybe she could use this to her advantage. "Why?"

Sango quickly turned on her heals, eyeing Kagome dangerously. "Why? Why? Because these clothes are screaming, 'look at my body', 'look at my ass', don't you love my long legs?' that's why!"

Staring strait at Sango she smirked. "And that's a problem how?"

"Oh my god, they've gotten to you haven't they?" Sango's face paled, this was highly amusing. "Those crazy obsessed fan girls have got to you, working with them drove you over the edge." Sango reached out and pulled Kagome over to the door, dragging her leader all the while completely serious. "That's it, we are getting you out of here right now before the damage is permanent."

Kagome dug her heels into the carpet and watched Sango almost fall. "Relax Sango, I'm not one of them, don't worry. I'm just saying, have a little fun. You're never going to give in to him right? Well, mess with him a little, let him know exactly what he will never get to have."

She watched as Sango played around a bit with the idea. "I don't know, all I have that is revealing is my work uniform and well, Amazon's outfit. This really wasn't a mission for getting anyone's attention remember? It was suppose to be stay on the down low, so all my clothes as really conservative."

Perfect, "Well then let's go shopping."

Sango's face cringed, "Shopping? I can't just borrow something of yours? Or Ayame's?"

"I don't have anything with me, I left everything at home, just like you, and Ayame, well, good luck separating her from her clothes."

"I don't know…"

"Come on, don't you want to see the look on Miroku's face when he looks at you and knows he can never have that tight piece of ass?"

"Well ya…ok, we can go shopping, and I guess while we're out we can look for dresses to. As much as he's going to want me," a spark was in her devilish looking eyes, "he's going to be moaning for Amazon."

"Damn Inuyasha, you should have seen this great piece of ass. She works here now, at least I'm guessing since she was wearing a maid's uniform. Toned too, you wouldn't mind if I stayed a few nights would you?" Miroku placed his arm on Inuyasha's shoulder casually. "You wouldn't? That's great; I'll take my usual room."

Miroku waited in silence. Nothing, no answer in any way shape or form. "Um…Inuyasha? Yo, you in there?"

"That bitch!"

Miroku was knocked onto his ass as Inuyasha jumped out of his seat; a baffled look was marked on Miroku's face. He'd been called a lot of things by Inuyasha, a letch, an ass, a bastard, a perverted monk, but bitch was a new one. He'd never been mistaken for a girl before, let alone by his best friend.

He watched as Sesshomaru's eye brow raised and Kouga looked on amusingly. Inuyasha began to pace. "Stupid whore, I can't fire her cause of her fucking ramen and she'd probably never part with the damn recipe, no mater how much I'd pay her, just to piss me off! What the hell am I gonna do?" he slouched back into his chair.

"Dude, you hear me?" asked Miroku once again, finally realizing Inuyasha wasn't talking about him.

"What?" Inuyasha turned to face him, "Oh, nice ass, that's right, you can stay for a bit, but don't hassle them that much, I'm having a bit of trouble holding onto maids lately."

"Harassment? Maybe you haven't met me, but woman love me."

"You having trouble with women little brother?" asked Sesshomaru mockingly

"Fuck off bastard," yelled Inuyasha

"Said the man with a mother who ran out on him," spat back Sesshomaru

Inuyasha pushed his chair to the side and it landed with a thump on the ground. He was about to cream Sesshomaru when Kouga stepped forward. "Wait, you're having woman problems?"

Inuyasha squinted his eyes, "No, just have a bitch of a maid on my hands."

Kouga looked amusingly at Inuyasha, wanting details. "Last night she told me off when I wouldn't call her by her real name, then sucker punched me with my own pledge and like I said I can't fire her cause she has something I want."

"So it's women trouble?" said Kouga questioningly.

"No, and shut up. It's freaking complicated that's all," said Inuyasha once again on the defensive side. He slouched in his char, preparing for the torment which was about to ensue.

Silence.

Inuyasha looked up at his fellow comrades, some chosen, some not. They were all staring at him in disbelief. "What? No sarcastic remarks?"

Miroku was the first to speak. "Well, it's just a bit of a shocker you know, you having woman problems? It just doesn't compute."

"Feh, whatever, I'm heading home." Inuyasha grabbed his brief case and attempted to head out the door, but he was prevented by a certain lecher.

"Hey wait Inuyasha, I'm staying over remember?"

"Just get in the damn limo then, I ain't waitin around for your sorry ass all day. It's stupid enough that we had to be here at six in the morning anyway."

"Wait," said Kouga with a grin, "I want to meet this maid whom even the great Inuyasha can't conquer." He turned to face the ever stoic Sesshomaru. "Well?"

"I have no time for such trivial matters as this pathetic excuse for entertainment. Besides, I promised Rin that I would find some time to spend with her today and in order to fulfill that promise I must have all my meetings done by seven tonight." Sesshomaru sat back down in his desk and re-looked over a few documents.

"Sesshomaru, does that kid of yours ever see you? I mean, doesn't she go to bed at like eight?" asked Miroku

"Do not lecture me about how I spend my time monk," growled back Sesshomaru

"Excuse me? Um…Sesshomaru sir, the mansion just called," a blonde haired secretary stepped into the office. Surprisingly enough to Inuyasha it wasn't a woman, but a man.

Inuyasha raised his eyebrow already asking Sesshomaru his question. Seeing this and knowing his half brothers way of thought he scowled. "I find women incompetent in the work force, all they do is stare, at least this way work will get done."

"Whatever,"

Sesshomaru soon redirected his attention back to his secretary, "Speak."

"Rin was driven over to your brother's-" a slight growl echoed throughout the room, "half brother's, that's what I meant to say, half brother. Well, at her request she was driven over to his house and well, her nanny, well, they can't seem to find her." The man immediately covered his face with his clip board preparing himself for the worst. Nothing came; he looked up to see a very rigid boss. "Um, sir?"

"Cancel the rest of my appointments until I return, I will be heading with Inuyasha to his house," came his cold reply. Grabbing his suite case he too headed out the door, leaving behind a secretary who was scared out of his wits.

Kagome scanned the room, attempting to look for Kaede. How the hell was she going to ask for the rest of the day off if she couldn't find the person she was supposed to get permission from? Stupid large ass house, well maybe she went outside.

Heading into the back she scanned the area and still couldn't find her. After walking for about five minutes, a walk that seemed to be going in circles, she turned around and started to head back inside, not being able to find the old woman. As she turned she saw the gate to her little flower garden. She hadn't gone in today, but that was ok, she had just been in yesterday and so far the work seemed to be going well.

On closer inspection Kagome noticed that the lock was undone and the old wooden door was ajar, slightly, but enough to tell her something was off. Walking closer she pressed her ear to the door, hoping to get a clue as to what was going on. She could hear a slight muffling noise and eventually the unpulled weeds being rustled.

Stepping in and pushing open the door she saw a heartbreaking sight. There, crying in the middle of the horrible and unforgiving weeds was a beautiful little girl. Her eyes were red from her crying which Kagome could only guess had been a while, and she was covered in dirt. Kagome could guess she had fallen down more that a few times. "Umm, are you alright?"

Kagome felt like smacking herself, oh, that was so intelligent. It's not like she's sitting in the middle of a weed covered field crying her eyes out or anything. Of course she's not alright.

She girls head slowly came up and looked at Kagome longingly. Before she new it, the sad lost little girl was in her arms, hugging her like she would disappear if given the chance. Kagome wrapped her arms around the still frantic crying little girl, trying to ease her emotions. "It's alright, shhh, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid."

"I-was, I was so scared," the little girl hiccupped, "I-didn't-know what to-do."

Holding her close and brushing the girl's long black hair with her fingers she once again attempted to help. "Calm down, here, put your hands above your head and count to ten ok?"

The girl nodded her head as she placed her hands above her head. "One-twwwo"

"Three," Kagome started to count along with her, knowing it would help regulate her breathing and help to calm her down, "four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…"

"Ten," said the small child with Kagome.

"Now, what happened?" asked Kagome

"Well, I um, I was mad at my daddy because he doesn't spend anytime with me. I know I shouldn't be because I have so much and he works really hard but, I just want to see him more. So I planned on running away for a bit, just to scare him, but then," she made another hiccupping noise, "I got lost and I got really scared."

Kagome could see she was going to start crying again, so she did the only thing she could think of, she hugged her. "It's alright, I'll help you get back ok?"

"Ok, but um, I came in here because I saw some garden stuff out there, why were they out there, this place doesn't look very special."

Kagome smiled, "Well, I figured while I was working here I could fix it up. It would take a lot of hard work but I have a few friends helping me. There is another maid, a small boy and possibly a few other of the children here and the gardener."

"Ohh…"

Kagome could see the longing in her eyes, she just had to say something, "You know if you want to you can help too."

The small child's eyes lit up, "Really? I mean, I wouldn't be in the way?"

Kagome laughed, "Of course not, the more the merrier."

"But Rin isn't here very often."

"Rin? So that is your name? Oh, you must be Sesshomaru's daughter here for a visit then."

"Yes, I am."

"Well that's ok, you can help whenever you are over. By the way, my name is Kagome."

The girl smiled again, "Hello Kagome, Rin's name is Rin," she stuck out her hand for a shake, Kagome immediately took it and shook it. Once again drawn back into the world she was trying to avoid, oh well, guess it's her karma. She is drawn to little lost children.

Firevixen73-Sorry it took so long, I really tried to keep everyone in character and next chapter should be pretty amusing. I don't know, I just see Sesshomaru looking down on women calling them weak or something. Don't get me wrong, gotta love Sesshomaru. So, everyone review and I will be happy. If I am happy I will write and if I write you will be happy so you really are doing yourself a service. Thanks everyone, and thank you for being so great! And I promise, next chapter there will be some major Kagome Inuyasha interaction.
