Not exactly a thousand words, but It'll do. I was mad when I wrote this and I hope you thinks it's a good enough chapter.

Chapter Eighteen: Plans

Getting pissed off was easier and easier to do with each passing moment. After that surprising revelation Sesshomaru had mentioned in the kitchen, Kagome stalked off to her room with Hero in tow, slammed, and promptly locked her door. Shutting off Sesshomaru and everyone else that would want to come and be in her presence.

Not that Sesshomaru, the dog, would actually want to be in her presence. She couldn't get a break if she tried! Not only was she man resistant, but finally when she finally did take the initiative that night at the bar with Sesshomaru, she ended up messed up and in a stupid curse that was getting stronger and stronger everyday!

And on top of all of that crap, he was, IS, her boss. Talk about a bad day.

Now Kagome couldn't even tell if he liked her or desired her because of herself or the stupid curse!

It was one of the worst situations that she could have possibly find herself in! Kagome knew that she was digging herself deeper into a grave by sitting and fuming, but she didn't care! It felt good to think about all of the crap that she was going through!

For instance. On her only day off, she wanted to do what she wanted to do and nothing more. whether if it was for sleeping or shopping. It should not matter because she wanted to do it. It was her time and she wanted to use it as she saw fit.

But NO! Every single time she had her day off, something happened and she would be off on some errand or another for someone who was conveniently too busy to do anything, or just so happen they couldn't stop by to pick something up. She was always the person that someone depended on and she just couldn't say no out of the goodness of her heart.

Well her heart was tired and she was being run ragged. Her heart was telling them to go to hell and let her have a little piece of mind. Or maybe it was her brain. Either way, she was going to have some time for herself. She was getting sick of being on the bad end of a ugly stick.

She was a young female with dreams and goals in life. She did what she did to get something accomplished for herself and no one else.

She had been saving up since the cradle it seems and it's been paying off quite well. She had enough money to retire for at least fifteen more years so it wouldn't hurt to go out for one day and pamper herself. Hell, she NEEDED it in a bad way.

She couldn't imagine the last time she had went out and had a pedicure. A manicure was out of the question since she did too much with her hands, but her feet is what she suffered on all day and night. They deserved better and thinking about that. She deserved better too.

It wasn't too late in the afternoon and Kagome knew exactly what she wanted to do.

Looking at Hero, she felt a small pang of guilt for having to leave him again, but when she returned, she would be in better mood she hoped and in turn, he would feel better.

Kagome kissed her puppy on the top of his cute little head and picked up her phone to call Shippo to dog-sit for her. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hey Kagome! How are you?"

"Not doing to good Shippo, I need you to do me a major favor."

"Anything. What's up?"

"Watch Hero for me while I go out and have some 'me time.' I think I'm about to burst a blood vessel with the way I'm thinking."

"I'll be right over."

It didn't take the kitsune long to arrive and then he was up in her room with her while she made herself ready.

"You know Kagome. I think Sesshomaru doesn't like me hanging around you too much. He gives me the evil eye."

"Well if he gives you any more evil looks then I'll punch him in his evil eye. He's not going to like what I' about to put him through, but who in the heck cares? (Would have said hell, but was watching it around Shippo.) I'm doing this for me and if he had to be dragged on behind me then all the better. I think it would amuse me and lighten my mood."

Kagome turned around in the mirror and glanced at Shippo. "How do I look?"

"Pretty. The green dress looks good on you and the brown things make your eyes look prettier." Shippo didn't know exactly how to comment a person, but she got him meaning across.

She would do.

Walking out of the room after planting a kiss on the to9p of Shippo's head, Kagome was ready to have a good 'rest of the day' if she had to fight for it!

I didn't check for errors with this chapter, but I hope It's not too bad. I feel better not that I could do something that would (Sorta) take my mind off of things. I hope you enjoyed reading.

Tell me, What all do you think Kagome will do in the next chapter?
