A.N. So another update on another story. Writing keeps my mind off things I don't want to deal with emotionally. And in the last 7 months I've fallen in love, fell out, had my hear stomped on, realized I still care for a different ex, and now my cousin is about to leave for war in like a month! I can't deal. So I write. It's a good muse. Hope you enjoy.
-Last Time-
Sesshoumaru stood up and looked at Kagome, "I think you should leave now."
"I do too," Kagome agreed stiffly, "don't worry about coming into work tomorrow. Take a vacation for a while. You'll get paid. Don't come back until I've called you."
Sesshoumaru watched as Kagome walked away, her head held high as she exited the restaurant.
"Does Kagome hate me?" Rin asked, tugging on his sleeve.
"No," he said, picking her up, signaling for their food to be made to go, "she hates me
-Chapter 29-
-Now-
"Kagome," Sango called through the door. "You have a phone call. It's from the magazine."
"Coming," Kagome called back. Getting dressed in the mornings was much harder than she expected. It had been three month's since Rin's birthday. She had gained a little weight from the last fight with Sesshoumaru. Glad to know she wasn't pregnant Kagome just figured she was a little depressed.
"You know," she said entering the kitchen. "We should go to a gym. Higurashi speaking."
"Kagome,"she hear her Secretary say. "We have a mild crisis."
"No such thing," Kagome replied. "What happened."
"The band showed up for the photo shoot," she said. "But the photographer is sick."
"Okay," Kagome said with a smile. "Push the shoot back two hours. Send them to lunch on me. Set up the set in the way I prefer, and I will do the shoot. Do me a favor though. Call a mexican place and order me a chicken chimichanga with enchilada sauce with rice on the side. Please and thank you! Get you and the rest of the staff that will be doing the shoot something as well. If not from there than call another place. I'll be there in 30 minutes."
"Gotcha. See you soon."
"Bye."
"God your like wonder woman," Sango said. "How do you manage that?"
"With school and Sesshoumaru over I can think clearly," Kagome replied. "I gotta shower and get dressed. Wanna meet for dinner and a movie after work?"
"Sure," Sango said. "I have the day off so I can be there around... 7ish...?"
"Perfect!" Kagome said, running into the bathroom at top speed.
-Half a Hour Later-
"You know Suki," she said to her secretary as she was handed her lunch. "I would like if you could join me!"
"Really?" the woman asked. "You usually take your lunch alone."
"I know," Kagome said. "I'm usually doing three things at once and forget I have food. But really, go get your food and come eat with me please. Unless you don't want to."
"Um... no. I would love to join you, I'll just be a moment," Suki replied.
"Great!" Kagome said, opening the container of soda she had in her mini fridge. "Want a soda?"
"Sure," her secretary replied, sitting her meal on the desk. "Are you sure you don't want to be alone?"
"I hate being alone," Kagome said, clearing away a bunch of paper's and photo's so Suki would have room to eat comfortably. "Plus, I really don't know much about you. What makes you tick?"
"Um..." the girl asked. "I'm not sure what you mean."
"Sorry," Kagome said. "I'm trying to not be that boss. You know, the one who barely know's their employee's names."
"Oh," the girl replied. "Well... I'm 23, I'm a single mom, and I live on my own."
"Really?" Kagome asked, excited. "How do you handle both?"
"I'm not sure," Suki replied, taking a sip of her drink. "I just sort of do. Day care helps a lot. And thankfully I make a good amount of money here that she isn't in some cracked out place."
"Amazing," Kagome said. "I have always wondered about those sorts of things. How old is your daughter?"
"She's 7 next week," Suki replied.
"Oh wow," Kagome said. "You were my so young when you had her. I'm so impressed."
"I was irresponsible," Suki said. "But I have no regrets."
"How did your family take to the news?"
"They weren't happy. I was forced to get a job, save money, and move out as soon as possible. I've been working here ever since."
"What was your starting position?" Kagome wanted to know.
"I was janitorial," Suki replied. "Worked my way up. This business fascinates me, and I'm lucky to have been here for so long."
"What do you really want to do though?" Kagome asked. "I know you don't want to be a secretary forever."
"I actually want to get into styling," the other woman said. "I'm not a fashion student, but I'm good at it. It's one of those annoying talents everyone has. It just comes in handy a bit more. I used to coordinate the costumes for play's when I was a student.."
"Really..." Kagome said, pulling out a writing tablet and putting down a note. "Want to help me with my shoot?"
-Across Town-
"Father it has been three months," Sesshoumaru growled into the phone. "In my absence there I only receive half a check, and Rin is getting upset."
"She is not used to a new home," his father said. "You deciding to get your own house was a big change for her. I will call Kagome though. See if she is willing to take you back to work."
"Thank you father," Sesshoumaru said. "You do not realize how grateful I truly am."
"I can guess," his father replied with a smirk. "And your welcome.
"Daddy?" Rin asked, coming into the house.
"Hi Rin," Sesshoumaru said. "How was your last day of school?"
"Fun," she said. "We had to tell the class what we wanted to be when we grew up!"
"And what do you want to be when you grow up?" he asked, pulling her into his lap.
"A JANITOR JUST LIKE YOU DADDY!"
-At The Magazine-
"If Sesshoumaru is ready to come back to work that is fine," Kagome told Mr. Takahashi. "He has a new position though. Janitorial work is good for him, but I have a new place. One that I believe suits him better."
"And that would be?"Mr. Takahashi asked.
"My new secretary."
A.N. OK so it's real short. Sorry! I have a new chapter in my head and all! But I'm updating story by story and this needed... a... cliffhanger I guess. Expect more soon!!!!! REVIEWS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
