Be your number one
Things finally did calm down after a few weeks and Inuyasha returned. Kagome and Kikyo where at the airport when he arrived back home. Inuyasha hugged his girlfriend and looked at Kagome "Did my jerk brother call you?"
"Yeah, he did, everything is fine Inuyasha" She quickly stated, it was done and over and she didn't want to make a fuss over it. He shrugged his shoulder "Guess what time it is" He said with a sly smile, his girlfriend slightly pulled away, and both women blinked at him,
"God really, where is Sango and Miroku" He looked around,
"They are meeting us at your house" Kagome stated, waiting,
"It's the second month of summer, its beach time!" Inuyasha proudly announced as he walked away with Kikyo under his arm. Kagome took in a deep breath, she forgot all about the beach trip, they took one every year, but this year she would not be able to go. Kagome quickly followed her friends to the limo and got in "I wont be able to go Inuyasha"
"What!" He snapped.
Kagome's mother was having a hard time keeping bills paid and her grandfather was to old to work, and her bother to young.
"If it's about money you know my dad will give ya some, the trip is already paid for Kagome"
Kagome was fresh out of school, she was going to work under Inuyasha, but then Kikyo came along and Kagome didn't want to intrude on them, so she didn't push the matter. Father Toga would have given Kagome a job, but he wanted her to work under his son, she didn't really understand why, but he seemed worried about her working alone. The family was always traveling and to be honest, she didn't want to fly anywhere without one of them.
"It's not that Inuyasha, my mother needs me this summer" That was that, and he knew it.
So with that, a few days later, Kagome waved her friends off, deep down she was sad, but her family needed her..
So after seeing her friends off Kagome went job searching. She could do a lot of things and she was a people person for sure. As Kagome walked down the streets of downtown she stopped at a vacant retail store front. It was white with black cast iron lanterns, it had a Victorian feel to it, she loved it. She pressed her hands and face to the window to look inside. The floors where dark wood while the wall where white and it had cast iron fixtures.
But what made Kagome smile the most was the cast iron spiral staircase that was in the middle of the store, she fell in love.
While she was pressed against the window, a limo was driving down the same street, and it held, one, Sesshomaru Tashio, he was back, again.
Sesshomaru looked out his window, he was back and this time everyone else would be gone. Inuyasha and his friends where on their stupid beach trip and his dad was in America. But as the limo pulled up to a heel, he noticed her, but she was supposed to be with Inuyasha,
"Stop the car" He told the driver, and it stopped. He watched her for a moment as she pulled a paper down from the shop window she was at, she held a smile that was quickly erased. Sesshomaru rolled the window down "Miko"
Kagome jumped and looked around, then, saw him "Sesshomaru?"
He opened the door and slid over, a clear sign for her to get in, so she did.
"Why are you not with my idiot brother?" He asked as he eyed the paper in her hand.
"Oh, I need to work this summer, thats what I was doing"
Sesshomaru picked the paper from her hand and scanned over it "Plan on buying a store, miko?"
"Oh, no" She sounded disappointed "It's too much the rent, I was just day dreaming" She took the paper back from him "So, what are you doing here?"
"I live here miko, I can come and go as I please"
She was about to say something when Jaken handed him a ringing phone.
"What" Sesshomaru snapped,
"Fine, tonight" He then hung up the phone and handed it back to Jaken,
"Um, you can drop me off, I can walk"
"Do you have plans tonight miko?"
She looked at him, unsure "No" She said very slowly "Why?"
"Good, you will come with me"
"Come with you where?"
"If you needed a job why did you not talk to my father"
"Kikyo is working with Inuyasha, I didn't want to go there and your father did not feel well about me working by myself"
Sesshomaru understood that, even if she didn't.
"Come with you where?" She asked again,
"I am meeting my assistant tonight, I am unsure of her motive"
"Why not take Jaken"
Sesshomaru glared at her,
"Nevermind" She quickly said, putting her hands up "I can do it"
Sesshomaru had the same assistant for 4 years, her name was Kaugra and she was like a female Sesshomaru.
"How is Kaugra?" Kagome asked,
"Up to something, which is why you are coming"
"Right, ok"
Holy cow, she was going to dinner with Sesshomaru! A date with Sesshomaru? No, no, she could not say that, he just needed a witness, and why, she really, really didn't want to know.
But if he needed her there, she would be there.
