Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely

Chapter 3

 

 

 

 

I have always hated Mondays. Really, it's the beginning of the week, you have to work, and you're days away from payday. In my case, it's a week and a few days away from payday. Stupid bi-weekly paychecks, don't they know that bills don't exactly follow your pay period? I arrived at the embassy at exactly seven, and met up with Sesshomaru in the front of the building.

 

 

“Higurashi, welcome to the youkai embassy. This is primarily where Inuyasha Taisho, the ambassador and my little brother, works. I work in the downtown office of the Youkai Prime Minister.” He led me past a main greeting desk and towards a door set back in the giant room. We went down a hall with several offices set up on each side until we reached the end; he turned to the right and opened the door. I let out a gasp. The room was huge, a desk set up with a complete office area was on the left, and there were two huge black leather couches on the right. You know the kind that psychiatrists use. There was a nice mahogany colored coffee table in front of each of the couches with magazines scattered about. On either side of the couches, there were two bookcases filled with leather bound books. I noticed directly across the room from where we stood was another door.

 

 

“That door leads to Inuyasha's office. I would stay out of his office if I were you; he could smell if anyone has been in there. I don't know what Miroku told you, but your job, as Inuyasha's personal assistant is pretty easy. Follow him around, take notes in his meetings, jot down when he has appointments, make sure he isn't late, and try to keep him away from me.” Sesshomaru turned and regarded me coldly. I swear his eyes could freeze the blood in my body, and I would die frozen like a Popsicle. That's a terrible way to die, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I returned his cold gaze with a little icy one of my own.

 

 

“I assure you, Prime Minister, I know my job. I was an intern during my college years, before I joined the police department. I will only contact you if I find something, or if I need something. Other then that, I will hopefully only see you on Sundays during our meetings. Now what time is Inuyasha supposed to be at work, and how does he take his coffee?” I asked, walking towards my new desk with a slight grin on my face. I love getting a new desk, and the feel of brand new things just waiting for me to use them. It's like the western holiday, Christmas.

 

 

“Humph, arrogant human. Inuyasha will be here at 8 a.m. to go over his files for the committee meeting we have at nine. He likes his coffee black. Good day, Higurashi.” With that said, he turned around gracefully and exited out the door. Good grief, that youkai was cold.

 

 

I sat at my desk and started going through the drawers. Hmm not much here in way of actual supplies. I reached in the back of the middle drawer and pulled out a tape recorder. Huh. I guess Inuyasha made his last assistant take notes. I swear this job is going to be a piece of cake.

 

 

 

*~~~~~~~~~~*

 

 

“Shit, I'm running late. Stupid Sesshomaru and his stupid meetings.” Inuyasha muttered to himself as he walked through the main part of the embassy. He took a sniff of his environment and frowned. `I can smell Sesshomaru and someone else. I wonder if it's my new pain in the ass. This wench better know what a stapler is or so help me, I will throttle her and blame it on Sess.' Inuyasha went down the hall with a scowl on his face. Saturday night was still bugging him; and he never handled rejection well.

 

*Flashback*

 

 

“Hello Mr. Taisho, would you like your usual?” The bartender for Kunawa's Strip Joint asked. Inuyasha waved his hand in agreement and sat back to look at the stage. His girlfriend, soon to be fiancé, was dancing on the stage at that moment. `Wow, she is so beautiful. Look at that ass!' Normally Inuyasha would be growling and ripping his way through the crowd of men drooling on the stage, but he's used to it. His girlfriend has been stripping for years now, and it's never bothered her. He turned around as the bartender set his drink in front of him.

 

 

“Put it on my tab, would ya?” Inuyasha asked, taking a big swig of his Amaretto Sour. Not too much of a kick, but he had a reputation to protect. Couldn't be seen in public as a lush, he'd lose his job. The bartender grinned and jotted a note by the register.

 

 

Inuyasha turned around as the crowd started jeering at the next girl got on stage. He had missed his girlfriend's grand finale, the flinging of the bra to the crowd. He growled. Some lucky punk is probably jacking himself off with her bra.

 

 

“Relax baby, it's not like the bra is actually mine. I only wear it the night of the show. You know that.” Inuyasha turned to take in his girlfriend's appearance. Shiny dark brown hair hung straight down to her waist, luminous brown eyes glowed, and her figure was just right. She was skinny without looking like a twig, especially in a pair of blue jeans and a purple t-shirt.

 

 

“Kikyou how is it you always know what to say?” Inuyasha wrapped his arms around his girl. She snuggled into his embrace and sighed.

 

 

“So what do I owe for the pleasure of your company?” Kikyou purred into Inuyasha's ear, causing him to groan in appreciation. His arms tightened when his lower region twitched into awareness.

 

 

“I have a job opportunity for you. How would you like to spend the whole day with me, being my personal assistant?” He grinned, pleased with himself. He could offer her a respectable job and bring her out with him in public. A win/win situation in his opinion. Kikyou frowned and pushed away from him.

 

 

“What do you mean, a job opportunity? I have a job, and I make damn good money. I wouldn't want to be at your beck and call Inuyasha. I want us to be equals, not have you for a boss.” She crossed her arms angrily.

 

 

“We are Kikyou; I just thought you would want to spend more time with me, instead of spending time with all these other guys. These guys get to see more of you, then I do, and I'm talking fucking ALL of you.” Inuyasha grimaced at the thought of Kikyou getting passed around the ring of dicks.

 

 

Kikyou looked quickly behind herself at her boss, just coming out of the office. `Shit, Naraku would love if I went to work for Inuyasha. It would be more ways to spy on him and his annoying brother. But I don't want to work in an office. I won't make near as much money as I do stripping.' “Inuyasha, you make me sound like a whore. I just dance, I don't do private dances, nor do I do any “favors”. Get out of here before you really piss me off.” With that said she turned away from him and made her way to the back, where the dressing rooms were. `If only you could help me Inuyasha, but I'm stuck with Naraku until I pay off my debt.'

~*~End of Flash Back~*~

 

 

Inuyasha entered the area reserved for his secretary, and froze. There sitting at the desk was his newest assistant. `Damn, she looks like Kikyou.'

 

 

I looked up from the desk as the door opened with a bang. There stood my boss, Inuyasha Taisho. Long sliver locks, golden eyes, and two adorable puppy ears twitched on top of his head. I completely dismissed the attractive black suit he was wearing and focused on those ears of his. Damn. I so wanted to jump out of my seat and rub those furry appendages until he begged for mercy.

 

 

“Who the fuck are you, and why the fuck are you in my office?!” Inuyasha asked his face scrunched up in puzzled anger.

 

 

“Hi, I'm your new personal assistant, Kagome. Would you like some coffee?” I asked, trying not to snap back at him. I can't take males who think their hot stuff.

 

 

“You know how to use the coffee pot?” Inuyasha asked, surprised. He looked me up and down and slowly settled into a smirk. I mentally groaned, but managed to make myself reply.

 

 

“Yes, I know how to use the coffee pot; I grew up on the stuff. I also know how to use a computer, a typewriter, a fax machine, copier, and hell; I even know how to use a stapler. Are you satisfied, oh holy master?” I looked as his face went from a smirk to a scowl. Hot damn, the puppy's got a temper.

 

 

“Alright little miss sunshine, bring me a cup of coffee and be prepared to take some notes. I have a meeting in forty five minutes. Scoot!” He stomped towards his office door. As he left, I got this huge grin on my face. Sexy hanyou, that's for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes: Sorry it took me so long to get this out. I drew a blank on what I wanted to put for Kagome and Inuyasha's first meeting, and this is what I came up with, after several attempts. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could improve this chapter, please let me know. And always, reviews are appreciated. Thanks!
