Chapter 4

Disclaimer: Once again, if it isn't already obvious, I don't own anything. If I did then I would have everything go my way mahahaha. : P

Thank you, to everyone that reviewed and to those who gave me some constructive criticism, oh and how to spell Miroku. You'd think that since I have so many volumes on Inuyasha that I would look and double check the spelling, but, alas I'm dense and didn't. : P

Also sorry this took so long to update, my internet has been on the frits. Plus I have had mid terms that I've been studying for, so they took prescience. So pleas be nice and review, thanks!

Spoken words: "…"

Thoughts: '…'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the end of the day Kagome was exhausted, and grateful. She had spent a good two hours cleaning up the mess that her beloved dog had made, but she didn't care all that much she was just happy that she had been aloud to keep her job and that she was still aloud to bring Valeo to work. 'Sesshoumaru was really nice to allow me to bring her back, although it probably has more to do with the fact that he likes Valeo.' Kagome thought as she walked back in from returning a costume; that had been wrecked back to Kagura.

"Shit! I forgot that I'm supposed to go talk to him" Kagome muttered to herself as she looked at her watch. Hurrying quickly across the studio she headed towards Miroku's and Sesshoumaru's chairs, hoping that he wasn't going to be crossed with her. Not that she could ever tell, "That guy should learn some emotions"

"Who should learn some emotion?" A cool voice inquired from behind her.

Spinning around to face the source of the voice Kagome found Sesshoumaru standing a foot behind her, "Eek!"

When she said nothing further then her squeak, Sesshoumaru repeated the question, "Whom did you speak of when you said 'that guy should learn some emotions?'"

Kagome blushed scarlet before stammering "I – a – um… no one, I was just mumbling to myself."

Sesshoumaru gave her a slightly skeptic look, "Oh, is that so, care to share?"

"Um, no."

"Tell me."

Kagome swallowed hard, "I was talking about you," she whispered, hardly audible.

Sesshoumaru's demon ears just barely picking up the words, but he wouldn't have been able to is she were any farther away. 'Hmm, I think that it's time that I had some fun with this assistant of mine.' Sesshoumaru thought, a smirk slowly spreading across his face.

Seeing Sesshoumaru's smirk Kagome started to become nervous. 'Oh, crap!' flashed through her mind as she hastily took a half step back.

"So I don't have any emotions? Tell me if I didn't have emotions would I have aloud you to keep bringing your dog here?" Sesshoumaru asked her softly, taking a step closer as she took one back. "Or how about the fact that I didn't fight with Inuyasha even though I cant stand my half brother?" he asked again as she continued to not answer and just back away. After a couple more steps he had Kagome backed against the back of one the old backdrops.

As her back hit the old wood Kagome realized she had been backed into a corner, looking around franticly she searched for someone who might come along so that he would back off. Seeing no one she it dawned on her that almost everyone would have left for home. Gazing up at Sesshoumaru's devious grin Kagome figured she was screwed if she had to find her own way out; Sesshoumaru had her pinned.

Slowly Sesshoumaru leaned down so that his nose was mere centimeters away from Kagome's "So what do you think, do I have emotions?" he asked her quietly, his breath warm on her skin.

"Yes!" Kagome squeaked out.

"Good," He whispered pulling away, but only enough that he could see her whole face rather then just her eyes. "Tomorrow you will arrive at eight and go to the studio day care center and pick up a girl named Rin. You are to entertain her until noon, then come to Hazelton Acres Farm that we are filming at tomorrow."

With that said Sesshoumaru took a few steps back and regarded Kagome's expression with amusement, 'I'm going to have to do this to her more often, she rather resembles a tomato. Although whether she stays around long depends on what Rin thinks of her.' Sesshoumaru pondered as he walked towards the studio exit.

"What the…" Was all Kagome could say or think as she watched Sesshoumaru walk away completely nonchalant.

------

The next morning Kagome was incredibly grateful that she did not have to get up before dawn again. It also made it far easier when she had to get Valeo up and about. Grabbing an apple on her way out, she once again led her dog down the many flights of stairs. 'I really hope they get that elevator fixed soon' Kagome thought as she walked towards her car.

When she pulled up to the day care Kagome thought it would be best if she left Valeo in the car while she went to get the girl named Rin she had been sent to baby-sit for the day. Not that she minded she liked kids, she just hoped that the girl would be nothing like her little brother had been like when he was younger. As she walked into the child care area she was surprise at how elaborate it was. With an indoor jungle gym, clay and coloring stations, and many other child amusements Kagome found her self wanting to play with the children's toys too. When Kagome saw a young woman with a young child in her arms Kagome headed over to introduce herself.

"Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi, Mr. Taisho instructed me to pick up Rin at eight o'clock this morning." Kagome said politely to the tired looking girl.

The girl gave her tight smile, "Hello, my name's Kim, Mr. Taisho told me you would be coming. Unfortunately even though I know that you were checked at security but I'm going to have to ask for some identification. You fit the description I was given but I have to double check."

"Oh, sure no problem," Kagome responded pulling her drivers license and security pass out of her purse and showing then to the girl.

With one hand Kim looked over he two cards and gave them back to Kagome and nodded. "Okay I'll just go call her." Walking over to the foot of the jungle gym she called up the slide. "Rin, someone is here to see you." Looking back at Kagome she said, "She knows your coming Kagome, Sesshoumaru told her before she left."

About a minuet later a little black haired girl came barreling down the slide to meet her new friend. Some what tentatively the young girl walked up to Kagome "Hi, my name's Rin." She said giving Kagome a toothy grin.

Kagome's heart melted as she went to her knees so that she could be the same height as the girl. "Hi Rin, my names Kagome, how old are you?"

"Seven."

"Wow, well what would you like to do today?"

"I wanna go to the Zoo please!" Rin beamed excitedly jumping up and down.

Kagome smiled back at her as she stood up and offered Rin her hand to hold, the little girl grabbed it enthusiastically and they headed towards the door. "So, you're my daddy's new helper?"

"Yes I am." Kagome answered a little surprised to hear that this was Sesshoumaru's daughter, the little girl was human and Sesshoumaru was a full demon. Shrugging it off Kagome stopped a few feet away from her car and gazed down at the little girl and asked, "Do you like dogs Rin?"

"Yeah, I love dogs, especially big ones!"

Kagome smiled in relief, 'Well at least, I don't have to worry about her not liking Valeo.' Kagome thought as she opened the passenger door and let Rin in.

"Wow that's the biggest dog I have ever seen!" Rin beamed when she saw the massive black dog.

"She is big that's for sure," Kagome said grinning at the young girl as she snapped the seatbelt in place.

--------

Three and a half hours later Kagome and Rin were laughing as they drove back form the zoo towards Ten Bar ranch. As she took a bite of a French fry Kagome glanced over at Rin. "So what was your favorite animal at the zoo?"

"The tigers, wolves and giraffe, oh and the zebras, and the big black cat!" Rin exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay so favorite animals," Kagome said chuckling as she watched Rin gobble down the chicken nuggets the little girl had wanted for lunch. Kagome was amazed that the girl could eat so messily and still not get anything on the black stuff dog Kagome had bought her in the Zoo's gift shop because it looked like Valeo. It had taken a great deal of convincing to get the staff at the Zoo to let Valeo come in but Kagome had done it because Rin had been so keen on her coming with them and Kagome hadn't wanted to leave the dog in the car. So she had gotten to see the animal under a promise of behaving; which she did very well.

Turning down one last road, Kagome came to a long elegant driveway with a beautiful stone sign just off to the left hand side. As they drove into Hazleton Acers Kagome was in awe at the magnificent horses in the fields along side. 'Wow if Sesshoumaru's using any of these horses in his movies then he must be paying ton.' Kagome thought as they came to a stop where all the other cars were parked.

As they climbed out of the car Kagome grabbed Rin's hand and snapped a leash on a tired out Valeo. Dogging and weaving around various trailers the two girls searched for Sesshoumaru, or any other familiar face that they might find in the sea of vehicles. When they came out to a opening Kagome saw Sesshoumaru on the other side of it, relieved to see someone that she knew, Kagome headed towards him. Before the group of them could get five feet a black haired demon stepped in their way.

"Excuse me," Kagome said distractedly as she kept a tight hold on Rin's hand so that the little girl, while trying to make sure that the lethargic dog didn't lag too far behind.

"I'm sorry I can't let you get by, just because you want to meet the actors doesn't mean that get too." A gruff voice told her once again blocking her way.

Annoyed Kagome turned to look directly at her road block, "Look, I know the main actor and I don't particularly want to talk to him. I am here to see my boss and to take this little girl to her daddy." Kagome told the surprisingly handsome demon that was standing in their way.

The dark-haired demon regarded her with a slightly surprised look, "You don't look like your old enough to have a child?"

"She's not mine," Kagome told him, slightly taken aback.

The man gave a sly grin, "Oh, baby-sitting then?"

"Yes."

"While my name's Koga, I'm the stunt director for the film, and I know that none of the actors here have children. So tell me who here is well paid enough that they have a child that would have a nanny carting her around?"

"I'm not her nanny; I'm her father's personal assistant." Kagome informed him, getting agitated. She was slowly getting fed up of dealing with this man, while trying to see around him, looking for Sesshoumaru. Luckily for her Rin was behaving like a good girl and now standing quietly, also looking around for her father while stroking Valeo's head.

"Oh, that's even higher up. Now you must work for someone very important." Koga remarked teasingly.

"She does, he is very important." Rin told him matter of factually, as she looked up at Koga, and then glanced behind him at someone coming up.

Koga grinned charmingly at Kagome before looking down at Rin and asking, "And just who would your daddy be?"

"That would be me," A cool voice said from behind Koga. Kagome smiled in relief as she saw Sesshoumaru walk up behind Koga. Coming up beside Koga Sesshoumaru looked down as Rin attached herself to his leg, he patted her on the head as he asked, "How was your day Rin?"

Rin beamed up at him, "It was great! Kagome took me to the Zoo, and when they wouldn't let us take Valeo in too Kagome argued with them and then they agreed. Then on the way here I got chicken nuggets. Oh and Kagome got me a stuffy that looks like Valeo too, see?" Rin told him, as she held the black stuffy up.

"Really, that's good to know Rin. You can tell me all about it on the way home, for now go see Miroku, he has something for you." Sesshoumaru told Rin, pointing about ten feet to the right were Miroku was grinning and waving at them.

"Wait, so you were telling the truth?" Koga asked Kagome form beside Sesshoumaru, slightly shocked.

"Yes I was," Kagome told him smugly.

"Oh, I did realize Sesshoumaru had managed to find another assistant." Koga mumbled looking embarrassed, then suddenly he perked up, "wait, since when do you have a child?"

"I have had one a while, she has even been here before, if you paid attention to detail you would know this. Also now that you know that I have an assistant one will you let her past so that she can continue to work I won't have to move you out of the way myself." Sesshoumaru informed him as he walked away.

Kagome started to follow him until Koga grabbed her arm and spun her around to look at him, "Can I help you?"

"Sorry about everything, how about you let me make it up to you and I take you to dinner?" Koga asked her, grinning wolfishly.

"Umm," Kagome grasped for away to say no nicely, "I'm not really sure about that."

"Here take my card and then give me a call, or I'll come find you and ask again."

Kagome quickly grabbed a card and shoved it in her pocket, not bothering to read it. "Thanks," she mumbled and scooted away after a now distant Sesshoumaru. When she finally caught up to him she asked, "Umm, who exactly is he, all he told me was his name?"

"Koga is my stunt coordinator, he is rather unruly but him and his team is very apt; and it is amusing to see him and Inuyasha go at each others throats."

"Ah, I see."

"So Rin was well behaved today?"

"Yes, she was a little darling, a little energetic but she's fun." Kagome informed him cheerfully.

Sesshoumaru nodded in approval, "Good, because there are going to be a few times when you are going to be watching her."

"Okay," Kagome responded, she would have to problems watching Rin various days on or off studio property. The child was such a gem to deal with that Kagome didn't have to give a second thought to weather or not she would want to take care of the little girl. Plus it was a nice little reprieve from being yelled at by Inuyasha and insulted by Kikyou.

"Good, because I am going away overnight tomorrow and since she does not like Kikyou I do not want Inuyasha watching her, and Miroku is busy she needs someone to baby-sit her. So, because of her obvious affection for you and your ability to watch her with out problems I want you to do it." Sesshoumaru informed her as he walked over to where Miroku was waiting with Rin, glancing back over his shoulder at Kagome he gestured to Valeo, "You may also bring the dog."

"What!?"
