"Excuse me?" I asked.
Inuyasha stared at me and picked up my ice dream. I was going to finish that…
"You haven't been to work in the last five days. I'm begging to wonder if you want this job," Inuyasha said.
What job?
"What job are you talking about?" I asked.
"I believe the position of secretary was offered to you. Whether you came in or not was up to you. I wanted to know if I should give the place to someone else," Inuyasha said and took a bit of my ice cream.
I have a job? Inumaru tried to take the ice cream from his father, but Inuyasha pinched his hand. I would have laughed if I wasn't so shocked.
"So, can I expect you tomorrow?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yes," I squeaked. He looked pleased and got up. He left the room with Inumaru on his tails. I saw them out.
"See you, Kagome," Inumaru said. I nodded, not taking in his words, and closed the door. I walked back to my spot on the couch and sat there.
"He took my ice cream," I said.
11:47.
I was late for work. Grrreat… My first day and I was late. But, it isn't my fault! I didn't know where to go, so I had to ask Sango, then I had to get my outfit and get a ride. I had to use Sango's car, which was a stick shift. I can't drive stick. Then, I got a ticket! Stupid cop. If it were a man, I would have gotten away with it, but it was a woman. She wasn't butch sadly…
I stepped out of the elevator and walked ahead. The lady at the front desk told me Inuyasha's office was this way. -And there he was, looking gorgeous as ever. I'm gonna need to stop that. He's my boss now. I can't be crushing on him like this.
"You're late," he said. I stopped in front of him and panted. (So, I need to work out, sue me!) He didn't even say "Welcome" or "Glad you could make it!" not even an "I like your outfit".
I was wearing a white, cotton button up dress shirt and a black pencil skirt that ended just above my knees. I had on heels (which is what most of my shoes were made of), but I had a pair of flats in my bag. I wonder if he could see my bra through my shirt. That would be uber embarrassment…
"Here's the assignments you've missed," he said and pointed to a stack of files on my desk. They looked bigger than me! "You are to have them finished before you leave today."
I could have crapped a Hershey's Kiss chocolate…
He walked behind a glass door and I watched him go. All the walls were made of glass, but blinds covered most of Inuyasha's office. I had to sit out here in the hallway behind this desk all day…
When was lunch again?
Contentment. Joy. Happiness. Those were some of the feelings I felt as I munch on my nachos. I could finally take my lunch, now. Sadly, I had one more pile of files to go through back at the office. It was okay considering I had started with six three hours ago. The works wasn't hard. Just running up and down the building, taking calls, making appointments… I had done this all before in high school for my father and other rich business tycoons.
"Kagome!" I turned and saw Inumaru and some other boys. They were coming towards me. I swear Inumaru gets taller every time I see him. He sat on the other chair at the table.
"Hey, Shortie," I said and wiped my hands on my napkin.
He feigned mock insult, "I'm taller than you."
"But, I'm older than you." Inumaru was cool. His friends I guessed stood behind him. They looked all sweaty.
"Why are you guys sweaty?" I asked, somewhat disgusted.
"We just came from gym. Decided to skip lunch to come here," Inumaru said.
"What would your father say?" I asked Inumaru. The hanyou (yes, HANYOU!) scoffed and leaned back in his chair.
"As if my old man would find out," he waved off the idea. Oh, the joys of youth. "Are you going to finish those?"
I looked at where he was pointing. Someone would have mistaken him and thought he was pointing to my chest, but I knew he meant my nachos. I pushed the half-eaten plate to him. He began eating.
"I gotta run, Shortie. Your dad will kill me if I'm not back by three," I said and got off my stool.
"Cool. See you later," Inumaru said and hugged me. I made a disgusted face. Teenage boy sweat…
"That's the smell of manliness, my dear," he said and inhaled. I rolled my eyes and walked away from the adolescents.
FINALLY! My work was finished! All I had to do now was tell Inuyasha. I got up and walked over to Inuyasha's door. I knocked and a "Come in, Kagome" was said. I did as he said.
Inuyasha was reading over something on his desk. He looked sexy in everything he did didn't he? Him and his sexiness just want to mock and torture me. I noticed he wasn't wearing a jacket anymore and his tie was slightly loosened.
"I just want to say that I finished doing the work you left," I said. No sexy, Kagome! Be Professional!
"Okay?" he asked and looked up at me.
What else did he want?
"So, what now?" I asked.
He opened his mouth to say something, but froze. He looked at me and once again I felt self-conscious. He narrowed his eyes at me. Inuyasha got up and walked over to me. What was he-?
Oh. My. Kami. Inuyasha Taisho just sniffed me. Not like a sniff, sniff sniff, a full on SNIIIIIFF sniff. He narrowed his eyes at me and continued sniffing me. He went over my arms and at my neck. I was instantly on fire. His touch was something I had only felt once, but this was much, much more intimate.
"Where did you go for lunch?" he asked. Not the question I expected, but I was somewhat surprised I could still think at this point.
"pLace. It's right across the street," I said.
He stood straight in front of me and watched me. I felt very self-conscious, now.
"Well, now I know I need to put a tracking device on my son," Inuyasha said and turned away from me. What?
"Huh?" was my intelligent answer.
"He snuck out of school. He's obviously not smart enough to know not to let his scent get on you when you'd be right outside of my office," he said.
That's why he was sniffing me… he smelt his son on me. It wasn't anything sexual or intimate… and that's exactly what I told myself that night before I went to sleep and had dreams of a certain Taisho exploring parts of my body in his office with that same nose…
Review please… I love reviews! They make me feel happy and tingly inside and junk…
