Chapter 5:
Disclaimers: I don't own Inuyasha & the characters of the said anime… blah, blah, blah… RT is the amazing mastermind behind him…
A few days after the incident, Inuyasha was not aware of what had happened. All he remembered was that he had told Kikyo to get the hell outta his house and that Kikyo had offered herself to him. After that it was all a blank in his mind. He couldn't seem to come to terms with what happened next. But when he woke up he could smell the scent of sex and Kikyo all over himself and all throughout the room. He was so confused. He didn't remembered fucking that whore. And what the hell, why would he? He was so infuriated with her that he dared not think of having sex with her. But his senses said something else and they never lied is the one thing he knew for sure.
After trapping himself in his house for four day, it was about time he got back to work. He was still a little tensed about what he was gonna do now that he shooed her away but then his heart felt such a heavy burden off of it. He felt a sense of great relief with the decision he made. He should have done it much before was all he could think about. And for this he thanked his bestie Miroku… the perverted dim wit was entitled to be given some appreciation for all his help through Inuyasha's time of misery. He had called him and informed him about it. Miroku was happy and Inuyasha told him that he would take a few days off to get his head straight.
Inuyasha was so grateful that he worked in his dad's company. Or with all the nonsense he went through, the leaves that he took; he was sure to be sacked in no time. On the other hand, he knew was gonna go through something much worse. An awfully angry Sesshomaru would be waiting for him with a huge lecture prepared.
It was an hour before eight on the bright Monday morning; he thought it best to get there early so that he wouldn't be degraded in front of everyone he knew. He started getting ready and went in for a steamy hot shower. After drying himself he opened his walk in closet and started browsing through his clothes. He picked his favorite beige baggy cargo with a cool casual red and white checkered shirt. After getting dressed, he combed his hair into a low pony tail and wore his red and black Jordan sneakers. And did he look stunningly cool.
He got out of his condo and headed for the outdoor garage where he stored all his favourite rides. He was in a good mood to ride his Harley. He got it out, put on his helmet that had fire flame graffiti on it and zoomed off to office which took him nearly twenty minutes. He got there by 7:40am and after parking his bike, he ran off to through the stairs all the way to the 15th floor so as to avoid his fuming brother. He was good at athletics and climbing all those stairs was a piece of cake for him (due to the fact that he is a half demon, which he doesn't know about of course)
He got there and his cabin was adjacent to Miroku's. He thought of first going over and meeting Miroku and then getting on with his pending assignments. He went over and opened the door. "Good morning Miroku… oh and Sesshomaru" he said stunned to find him there too. "Okay, then I'll get back to work" he said as he turned in attempt to make a run for it.
"Oh no you don't" said Sesshomaru with his same emotionless tone.
"Oh, come on… just let it go this time. I promise this isn't gonna happen from now on" Inuyasha groaned.
"You always say that you jackass"
"Listen, I've just been going through some things. I had to get my head clear before I resumed and screw everything out here"
"I know. Miroku told me about it. It was about time you got rid of Kikyo. She's a gold digger. I just wanted you to realize it yourself. And I'm pissed cause you didn't find it necessary to tell me" he said still without showing any emotions. "I don't really care that you take a few days off you know. You never tell me about yourself. I'm your brother, you can tell me things. And I do understand. Just inform me next time is all I'm saying" said Sesshomaru with a straight face as he began leaving. He was cold but he did care about his family. "Thank you" Inuyasha said before Sesshomaru left. "Hmmm" was all that Sesshomaru said without turning around.
After he left Inuyasha turned to Miroku and said "Was that really my brother. Well, he's turning into a softie"
"I'm glad he has or you would have your head on a stake. You really are saved this time!" exclaimed Miroku. Neither of them had ever seen a side of him so warm. They were astounded but took it as God being on their side.
At Kagome & Sango's apartment after a hard day's work:
"There you go. Don't be shy eat up" Kagome said as she served a casserole full of coq au vin for dinner. It was something they had tried when they arrived in this foreign land and Sango declared it as her favourite dish. So Kagome learnt to make it in order to cheer her up whenever she was feeling low. "Thank you Kagome but you didn't have to go through the trouble. You have taken good care of me these past days and guess what, I feel a whole lot better" she said with a week smile.
She actually did feel better to finally know the truth but occasionally she would break down in tears, after all it had only been four days since the incident, but Kagome did everything to get Sango's mind off it. They had their meal as they talked.
"Let's get some of this heat off. Why don't we go out shopping after work tomorrow? After all we did cancel our plans after all this hustle and bustle"
"Alright, it's a plan then" said Sango quite relieved to get outta the house.
They cleared the dining room and watched television for some time and soon after took off for bed as they greeted each other a 'Good night'.
The next day:
Kagome and Sango had resume to work just the previous day. And Kagome was glad that with all the work, Sango was occupied well enough to not think of the asshole Bankotsu. They sat at their desk completing some work that had to be done urgently. Soon a sweet voice was heard by the both of them saying "Excuse me, could you direct me to the Vice President, Mr. Sesshomaru Takahashi's office. I'm here for my first day as his personal assistant" Kagome and Sango looked up to see the most innocent looking girl. She was wearing a formal black skirt with a white shirt and blazer.
"Oh, yes. Easy you may go to the 7th floor and take the right door right outside the elevator. So welcome here. I'm Kagome Higurashi and this is my friend Sango Yokohama" she said as Sango gave her a friendly handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rin Manabe. I'm happy to see people from Japan here. It feels closer to home that way. Anyway, I hope we can be friends, I really have no one here"
"Of course" said Sango "Do you live nearby?"
"Actually I live on Butterly hills on 21st street for the time being and you?"
"What a coincidence. We live on 17th street. We share an apartment. Now that we know each other we can meet more often"
"How exciting! That would be great… Anyway I gotta rush. I don't wanna be late on my first day. Thanks for your help. Have a great day."
"Oh it's nothing. Have a great day"
They saw Rin run off towards the elevator and wait for it after pushing the buttons. Rin was extremely nervous. It was her first day of her very first job. And from what she had heard her boss was supposed to be quite a stern, no nonsense person, which got her only more anxious. She got in the elevator and pushed the button for the 7th floor. She waved to Kagome and Sango as the door closed.
After getting off at the 7th floor she knocked at the door she was told was Sesshomaru's cabin. "Come in" a very cold voice spoke. She entered and bowed low. "Good morning Mr. Takahashi. I'm Rin Manabe. I'm here for my first day as your personal assistant" Sesshomaru looked here from head to feet and she seemed appropriate. "Hmmm. You can go to Mr. O'Malley in HR on the 8th floor. He shall brief you of your responsibilities and hand you over me schedule that my previous PA had prepared. You can learn from it and plan ahead accordingly. I expect you to be punctual and precise. You may take your leave now" he said without looking at her as he examined some documents in his hands.
Rin was quite surprised that he didn't even bother to look at her as he spoke. 'He was quite arrogant. He sure has no respect for other' she thought as she headed to the HR's office.
Alright that's the end of yet another chapter. Hope you guys like it. Do R&R.
