December 27:

"But Sango!" a man in a black suit with indigo eyes and black hair cried out to a woman with almond brown hair and eyes.

"Drop it houshi." the woman known as Sango said. "I don't want to hear it!"

"Sango please, it's not what it looked like! I swear!" the monk cried again.

"Oh really? Well then Miroku, explain, and it better be good!" Sango glared daggers at the man, her anger quite obvious to both the houshi and the people watching, snickering at the man who was foolish enough to hit on the new trainee.

"Ok then, well, as you know..." Miroku started awkwardly

This was the sight that Kagome had walked in on when she opened the thick glass doors of Taisho Inc., and not a surprising one in the least. Oh no, it happened quite often, and she was rather used to it. After all, her friend's fiancé to be (they weren't even dating but everyone knew that they had googly eyes for each other) was a womanizer. He simply didn't know when to stop.

Actually, he probably did. But that's a different story.

"What kind of excuse is that?!" Sango cried "Miroku, what the hell! Just because she bent over and you saw up her skirt doesn't mean you sexually harass her ass!"

"S Sango! I'm sorry!" Guilt showing in his voice, a pleading expression on his face.

"Save it monk. I don't even want to see you at the moment." She glared at him for a moment more before making a "Hmpf" and walking away, leaving the houshi standing in the middle of the "grand" entrance, a crestfallen expression on his face.

She didn't even slap me! He mentally complained.

Hehehehehe (sweatdrops) ...Sango has got a scary temper...But then again, I wouldn't blame her. I mean, although it is Miroku we're talking about, I would be pretty pissed if I walked in and saw my fiancé groping a trainee's ass like that... Kagome thought.

Well, better clock in before I'm late.

Kagome sighed as she walked out of the elevator.

Well then, I wonder what snobby comments I'll be receiving from Kagura today...

"Hello Ms. Higurashi" a young voice said.

"Hello Ka " Kagome froze "Wait you're not Kagura". Instead of the brown haired, red eyed *cough slutty cough* wind sorceress, there was a young girl there, a small ponytail on the side of her head, almond colored eyes, and a cute orange dress that appeared to reach to her knees, sitting at the dark brown desk, if gers still poised in a typing position.

"Exactly" a smooth baritone said "Miko, you're late"

"What happened to Kagura? And I'm not late; you can check my clock in time" she said, a triumphant smile on her face.

"You're late being up here and this Sesshomaru listened to what you said at the bar." He looked away from her for a moment, and refused to indulge in telling her what had happened.

"I see...Hey wait! My clock in time is what matters, not me being like one minute past 8 a.m!"

"It was two, miko."

She blinked before realization dawned in her eyes.

"Grrrrr... Sesshomaru!"

He was teasing her! What the hell!

Sesshomaru inwardly smirked, getting the desired action out of the miko.

"Miko, in my office. Now. This Sesshomaru has important things to discuss with you."

"Huh?" was her smart reply. She was still internally going on about him teasing her.

"My office. Now". Sesshomaru said, amusement twinkling in his eyes.

"Oh." she blinked again "Oh! Yeah, of course!". She blinked, still dazed.

Sesshomaru suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

Someday the miko wouldn't be so absent minded. Hopefully...

You know you're kidding yourself.

She followed Sesshomaru up the stair into his office. Sesshomaru opened the door for the both of them, and Kagome closed the doors behind her.

"So...what do you want to talk about?"

Always straight to the point, he said "The Taisho fundraiser is coming up soon and as you should know, this Sesshomaru has to attend this year. As it is a ball of sorts, this Sesshomaru will need a date."

Dem bitches and whores will be all over me! *internal shiver of disgust*

If no one was in the room with him, Sesshomaru would have snorted.

"So you want me to find you an acceptable date?" she asked, not comprehending.

"This Sesshomaru has a date."

"Oh. Who's the lucky girl?"

I feel bad for her... she blinked.

Did thinking that, did my heart just?

...but why? There's no reason for me to feel...let down...

She was awfully confused for a split second, before focusing on what Sesshomaru was saying again.

"You." came a serious reply.

"Oh. Me. Ok..." She scrunched up her eyebrows and had a look of deep thought on her face. Suddenly, her eyes widened. "YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR DATE?!"

This will not go well...

Stupid Master.

Stupid beast.

"Uh uh! No way José!" She yelled. Sesshomaru quirked a brow at her use of the colloquialism.

"Why should I go with you, the Ice King," he glared at her name for him "when I have not even consented!"

"Miko, you will go with this Sesshomaru."

"Oh, really!"

This is not going well with the miko.

Thank you for clarifying, Captain Obvious.

He mentally glared at his beast. You will behave or this Sesshomaru will bind you back up.

I don't care. She's right, the miko. You really are frigid. And with that his beast went to thedeeper recesses of his mind.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled. "You aren't even trying to pay attention to me, aren't you?!"

"This Sesshomaru is in no mood from an argument, miko." He replied, gazing into Kagome's eyes.

"Well too bad, I am not gonna be your date, Sesshomaru. Go find some unfortunate girl on your own." And with that, she turned on the ball of her foot and stormed out of Sesshomaru's office.

For some reason, he found that her blatant rejection hurt.

But why should the miko's words bother me? This Sesshomaru has no need for her anyways. She is merely this Sesshomaru's personal assistant. Nothing more.

The thought of this should have comforted him, but instead, he felt a tinge of some unnamed emotion. His brows furrowed in a slight confusion.

Perhaps this Sesshomaru wants the miko's approval?

His beast perked up at that.

Nonsense.

He heard an aggravated sigh.

Despite telling himself that, he still could not help but still feel the unnamed emotion. Brows furrowing in concentration, he decided to ponder the feeling for a while, his work left undone for the moment.

"Argh! That ass! That ignorant, bossy, pompous jerk! How dare he–"

"Kagome? What's wrong?" Sango appeared from behind Kagome.

"Are you okay?"

Startled, Kagome left out a small shriek. In an instant, Sesshomaru was there. However, finding no threat, he glared at the miko instead.

"What is the meaning of your insistently loud voice, miko?" Sesshomaru stared while glaring at Kagome.

"Ugh, Sesshomaru. Just go away. I don't want to talk to you right now." She snapped.

"You will not tell this Sesshomaru what to do, miko. It would be best to do so before you–"

"Before you what, Sesshomaru? Fire me?" she snapped again while glaring back at Sesshomaru.

"Miko, you would do well to learn your place."

"I'm not some submissive bitch, Sesshomaru! You can't tell me what I can and can't do"

"Are you so sure?" he replied, taking on her challenged with his eyes.

Awkwardly, Sango stood off to the side.

"Uhh, I'm gonna go back to work… I hope you don't mind" Sango said with an uncomfortable smile, before somewhat hurriedly rushing away. Of course, the two who were apparently having a staring contest didn't even notice.

Kagome then sighed, breaking eye contact with Sesshomaru.

"Whatever. Resorting to your level is childish. I'm going home early. Hope you do mind. Too bad I don't." And with that, she left, Sesshomaru doing nothing to stop her.

Growling in frustration, Sesshomaru turned and went back to his office, not even bothering to look back, to stop her. Whatever the miko did was her decision. Of course, that didn't mean she wasn't going to the fundraiser with his as his date. And of course, his beast decided to speak up them.

Idiot.

Somehow, he knew that by the time he went home, he would have an extremely massive headache, more so than normal.
