August:
"Inuyasha! You-you jerk!"
She was running through one of Tokyo's major shopping districts, sobbing, running as fast as her legs could take her. She ignored all the stares and whispers she was hearing, and kept on running.
Why?! Why?! How...How could he do this to me?! Kamisama! What did I do to deserve this? Inuyasha! How could you betray me like this?!
She was running with tears streaming in her stormy sapphire eyes, so much so, that she couldn't really see in front of her. She tripped and fell, sliding on her black blouse and flared jeans. She then got up slowly. She inspected her high heels, to see the heel on her left foot broke. Great...
"That's it Inuyasha...Kikyo... You've made your point, quite clearly in fact." Kagome said to herself out loud.
"And now you'll see that your desicion, Inuyasha..." her voice trailed off...

-A few minutes earlier-
Kagome had just left her black Honda Accord SR9 and was making her way to her arranged meeting place with Inuyasha when she stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the sight in front of her. She blinked. She blinked again, registering the sight she saw in front of her.
What...? Inuyasha and... Kikyo?! They're making out... and...Her eyes started to water, and she was trying to blink back the tears running down her slightly red cheeks. She then noticed Kikyo staring at her, a look of triumph in her eyes.
"Oh, my darling Inuyasha, it looks like we have a guest. And look at that, she's crying even." Kikyo said with mock pity.
"Why don't you tell this girl your true feelings about loving me, ne, Inuyasha kun~".
"Of course Kikyo, since it's only natural because of my love for you." Inuyasha growled lightly.
"Inuyasha, you mean it? Oh, I love you my dear Inuyasha kun~! Now let's go, that girl that you used to date is staring at us like some weirdo. You're sure she's not a stalker?" Kikyo said rubbing each and every word in Kagome's poor teary face backwards.
"Don't worry my dear beloved Kikyo, she just stares like a huffing pig. Now let's go to my place."
Kagome, unable to to contain her rage and sorrow yelled at the top of her lungs and screamed "Inuyasha! You jerk!" before turning abruptly and running away.
She didn't notice the look of guilt that had passed on both Inuyasha's and Kikyo's faces.
Presently
Kagome, now at her 1 bedroom 1 bathroom 1,000 sq. ft. apartment overlooking the waters edge, was on her bed, face first, crying and rethinking what just happened. Her mind was trying to wrap its way around her situation; trying to find ways to understand what and why it happened. Alas, she came to only one conclusion: Inuyasha was cheating on her and chose Kikyo over her.
She'd even called Sango, and although she was mad at Inuyasha, and felt bad for Kagome, she said it just wasn't meant to be. Then she questioned if Kagome was okay (again), among other things.
"Kagome, please don't take this the wrong way, but... are you sad and angry at the fact that he cheated on you, or is it more like...some sort of disappointed feeling?"
"Eh?"
"Kagome, I don't think he was meant for you, and I think you knew that.
"What do you—"
"You know what I'm mean."
She sensed that this was a very serious question, so she took a few minutes to think.
"I feel...I'm angry that he couldn't just tell me the truth. That Kikyo couldn't either. I would have understood. And yeah, I mean that that would have been a bit disappointing, but the fact that they had been sneaking around my back is really what bothers me..."
Sango said nothing for a few moments before saying "Kagome, I think that you should move on. They way you two had acted around each other... You never kissed him on the lips, always on the cheek. I don't think that you two were anything more than friends."
"Sango..."
"I have to go now, Kami knows what that houshi is doing, but I think that you should think about what I said."
"..."
"Goodnight Kagome"
"'Night Sango..."
She sighed.
I'm not going to waste number tears on them. Although my heart aches with his betrayal, I don't know, them being together feels like it was meant to be... I should be happy for them...so I'll try.
Yawning, she realized that it was 10:47 p.m, and went to bed. She decided it was ok that Inuyasha chose Kikyo because she herself was realizing the feeling of love she had at first was no more than a mere crush (thanks to Sango), and that she didn't care as much as she did at first. She passed out in a matter of minutes, and hoping that work tomorrow was going to a breeze...

Kagome woke up rubbing her eyes. She glanced at her alarm clock and gasped. She was going to be late! Her boss would kill her! She, at an amazing speed, was already out the door a half hour later. Somehow, when she needed to rush, she does things at an amazing pace, and because of that, she had already taken a shower, brushed her hair, did her make up, ate and dressed, feeling rather triumphant.
No time to walk today! I'm going to have to drive or I'll be late. Thank the kami's that I live only 10 minutes away...
Kagome in black high heels, dark blue flared jeans, and a flared t shirt, rushed around the corner and ran up the stairs to the top floor, threw her stuff into her office, clocked in, and knocked on her boss's door.
"Come in" and stoic voice called.
Kagome opened the door slowly, walked in, and closed it. she turned and face her cold boss, Sesshomaru Taisho, the owner of Taisho Corps., who was glaring at her coldly with his amber eyes.
"You're late." he growled
"I am not! I made it here on time!" Kagome yelled.
"Ms. Higurashi, I expect you to be on time when you enter my office, ready to work, though it seems that you do not understand this." he said with a hint of warning in his voice
"I do understand, and I'm not late! Quit being such a stuck up prick and realize that you're wrong!" Kagome yelled.
"Miko..." he snarled, his voice menacing. Amber eyes stared into sapphire blue ones that were bright and lit up with anger, no longer the stormy from the night before. They stayed like that for a few more moments before Kagome looked away.
He's such an ass! Kami, what did I do to have a boss that thinks he's always right and superior in every way? Why can't he just say "Sorry, I was wrong" like any normal person?
Then she realized that he was no ordinary person, and she herself wasn't either.
Hmpf.
"Are you gonna give me anything to do or are we gonna sit here all day glaring at each other?" she said "Cause if we are, then I'm going home"
"You will do no such thing" Sesshomaru glared
"Oh really?! Just because you are my boss doesn't mean that you own me!" she yelled.
"True, but I could fire you" he countered.
"No you can't" she glared. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at this. "Because I quit!" she stated matter of factly.
Sesshomaru again raised his eyebrow. Just what was going through this crazy angry females head?
"Fine." He said, "Do as you want, and don't come crying to me when you need a job" he finished coldly.
"You don't have to worry about that. Cause I already have a replacement job!" she lied. She then turned swiftly on her heel and left the room, not even bothering to close the door.
Hmph. I wonder how long its going to take for her to crying back saying "Sesshomaru sama! Forgive me! I was being an incompetent fool for quitting! Please re hire me!"
"Sesshomaru sama! I beg you!"
Yes... He was going to enjoy punishing her when she came back. And to think she had the nerve to lie to This Sesshomaru's face, not to mention yell at This Sesshomaru!
She was going to grovel if she wanted her job back... ever.

Kagome...Kagome, did you do something stupid again? Keh! Knowing you, you probably did!
Useless wench...
I-Inuyasha?
Kagome cracked her eyes open, bleary from sleep. She then quickly closed them from the bright light. A minute later she opened them again and rubbed them, trying to get the dry feeling to go away.
"So, it was just a dream, huh..." she said to herself. "A rather real dream...Stupid Inuyasha with his new whore Kikyo..." Immediately, she felt guilty for thinking such though, so she mentally apologized.
Eventually, she got up out of bed and stretched, suddenly remembering what happened yesterday.
"Are you gonna give me anything to do or are we gonna sit here all day glaring at each other?" she said "Cause if we are, then I'm going home"
"You will do no such thing"Sesshomaru glared
"Oh really?! Just because you are my boss doesn't mean that you own me!" she yelled.
"True but I could fire you" he countered.
"No you can't" she glared.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at this.
"Because I quit!" she stated matter of factly.
Sesshomaru again raised his eyebrow.
"Fine." He said "Do as you want, and don't come crying to me when you need a job" he finished coldly
"You don't have to worry about that. Cause I already have a replacement job!" she lied. She then turned swiftly on her heel and left the room, not even bothering to close the door. Kagome ran out the out the building, tears starting to form in her eyes.
No! I will not cry!
She swiftly turned around the corner, still running, and ran home. She rapidly unlocked her door, closed it, not even bothering to lock it, and ran into her room where she plopped down on her bed and let the tears run down her face before letting it all go black.
She recalled yesterdays incidents with a groan. Crap... me and my big mouth... AND NOW I'M JOBLESS! Great...just great. Just had to lie, Kagome.
She sighed again, and started to undress out of her clothes from yesterday. She put on a pair of pink, red, and orange colored flower pajamas and walked into the kitchen. She turned to the coffee maker she had, filled it with water up to the "1" line, added the coffee bean powder, and pressed "start". She then went into her fridge and opened it up.
Butter, milk, eggs, leftover white rice, and a bottle of sakè...OK then, I'll make an omelet over white rice...simple enough.
Kagome picked up the butter, milk, and eggs and placed them on the counter. Then she went back to get the white rice. She closed the fridge and turned away, going to her stove. She opened the pull out compartment underneath the oven and pulled out a frying pan, closing the compartment. She then went over to her cupboard and pulled out a blue plastic bowl. Closing the cabinet, she went to the sink and rinse the two under the cooling water, and gasped.
She jumped back, the water had been on "hot" side. Scowling at herself, she changed the water to cold. When she finished rinsing the two, she dried them, placing the pan on the stove and putting the blue plastic bowl on the counter. She opened the egg carton and grabbed out two white eggs and cracked them open, throwing the shells in the already open trashcan. She then put some salt and pepper in the bowl, (they were already on the counter) grabbed the milk, poured some in, and started whisking the mixture with a fork that she grabbed from the drying rack.
Still whisking, she sighed. Peace and quiet...I should be enjoying this, but... she sighed again but, I'm really not. I can't stop thinking about Inuyasha... or Sesshomaru for the matter... It's because of our argument yesterday, isn't it. Stupid me...always ruining things, well at least according to Inuyasha. Now that I think about it, I wonder what he's doing... Probably kissing Kikyo right now, or worse.
Inuyasha's POV
"Uhh, Kikyo? That's kinda..." Inuyasha trailed off.
"What Inuyasha?" Kikyo blinked "Did you say something?" Kikyo walked into the room wearing a green skin tight cheongsam.
No, not kinda. It's pure hideous!
"Kikyo, don't you think that suit is " Kikyo cut him off "Beautiful right?"
The green cheongsam was a little bit too small and tight, not to mention making Kikyo look fat. It had a gold trim on pink and white flowers on the corner of the bottom part of the skirt. In all, it was an ugly suit making Kikyo look fat.
"Inuyasha, I think that I'm going to buy this cheongsam. And lucky for me, it's on sale for 640 yen! What a great deal!" Kikyo was almost dancing in joy.
Kami... do you hate me or something? Do you want my eyes to bleed and pop out of their sockets!? Please don't enable Kikyo to buy this...this...this thing!
So then why don't you tell her you don't like it?
She'll kill me if I do!
Yeah and she'll kill your eyes if you let her buy it!
I know that! But still! If I tell her the way it looks, she'll send me straight to hell and back! So tell her it's too small then ya big ain't!
No! She...! On second thought, that's a good idea.
See?
Shut up!
But I'm your consciousness.
Screw you!
You first.
Fuck off.
Fine but I'll come back later.
"Yasha! INUYASHA!" Kikyo screamed in his ear.
"Shut up bitch or I'll fucking kil " Inuyasha didn't finish, noticing that Kikyo was the one yelling at him. Inuyasha gulped, sensing the aura around Kikyo grew deadly.
Shit, I'm screwed!
Good job. And you're supposed to be my master...

Kagome had just finished washing the dishes from her breakfast and was now leaning against the counter, finishing the rest of her coffee. Staring into space she thought idly.
Should I go back to work and say "I'm sorry" to Sesshomaru? I mean, I don't have a job anymore and to pay my rent I need a job.
Hmm... No, I won't! I can just see the smug look on his face. It would be humiliating! No, I'm not going back until he realizes that he was wrong and apologizes. No ifs, ands, or buts!
Kagome put her empty coffee mug into the sink and went back to bed.
My savings will simply have to suffer for a while.

Sesshomaru leaned back into his chair, in deep thought. He was surprised that Kagome had not come running back to him. But then he realized that it was Kagome he was thinking about so he gave her three days at most. Though, since her presence wasn't in the office anymore, Sesshomaru couldn't help but think about the impudent miko.
It must be because when she worked she did it at an amazing pace.
Since he had Kagura, his receptionist on the floor below doing her work as a replacement, it was taking a long time to get anything done, not to mention the signs saying that she didn't mind being in bed with him, was rather annoying, and...disturbing.
He was going to leave early tonight, and probably going to go to the bar nearby. Packing up his laptop, he went to the receptionist.
"I'm leaving early tonight. I trust that you will get all the remaining work done, Kagura." Sesshomaru stated nonchalantly.
"Of course" she paused "Sesshomaru sama~" she cooed sickengy.
She stared at Sesshomaru, lust in her eyes, a vile scent of arousal coming from her.
Sesshomaru, ignoring what just happened, went down the elevator to his car.
I really need a new receptionist...
