Chapter 2: Complications

Kagome dropped her keys on the counter. It had been a long night. She rubbed some lotion on the sore spots of her body and flopped down on her bed. 'Empty handed' she sighed. Kagome curtains were open which gave a good look at the city. It was still noisy and crowed though it was around 2:30 in the morning.

'I think I'll just go to bed.' It was going to be a long day at the office tomorrow, which she didn't want to think much about. Kagome pulled the covers over her head, reality now turning into dreams.

<><><><><><><>& lt;><>

Inuyasha left the club immediately after his mystery woman disappeared. He had more important things to think about such as buying the rights of a certain publication. 'I'll beat that fox to it.' It was a known fact that Shippo Lee always produced Kagome Higurashi award winning books. 'She's probably some nerd but oh well no one can resist the offer I'm about to make.' He smiled. It was liked shooting fish in a barrel.

He got in his jet black Porsche and drove off. His fun for the night was over. Kikyo had blown that one for him. 'Damn bitch' everywhere he went she followed like a lost puppy dog. At this moment she probably was riding underneath his car or stuffed herself in the trunk.

Inuyasha brushed some of his hair, that annoyly got in his face, out of the way. Tokyo was still booming with people. Though it was late at night people were still at pachinko machines, some eating, others just hanging around the city.

Christmas was in four weeks. 'Alone for the holidays again' He sighed and rolled his window down slightly. Cool night air hit him in the face. 'I'll find you' a smile tugged at his lips as he drove aimlessly back to his condo.

<><><><><><><>& lt;><>

The sun shown threw the windows and awoke Kagome from her dreams. For once she had a peaceful nights rest. Though it was short it was refreshing. A morning shower would also make her feel even better.

She gurgled some fresh mint mouth wash than spit. A white smile was one key to happiness of course being petite and a large metabolism was another and also being graced with the looks of a super model. 'Maybe I have a large ego' she smiled and shook her head, hopping into the shower stall.

The morning was quite uneventful. A normal blue skirt, white blouse, blue blazer, high bun, a cup of coffee completed her attire. 'I'm ready' Kagome shut the door behind her and prepared herself mentally for another grueling day at the office.

<><><><><><><>& lt;><>

Inuyasha was slicking his hair back, singing I'm too sexy for my shirt tune, when his cell phone went off. 'Better be important' he mumbled.

"Yea what do you want" Inuyasha roughly spoke into the cellular device.

"Well a good morning to you to." Inuyasha grumbled, dealing with the wolf in the morning was such a hard thing to do. "What do you want?"

"Going over you morning routine, sunshine." Koga couldn't resist getting Inuyasha angry.

"Shut the hell up and fucking tell me." Inuyasha was getting annoyed. He already knew he had one appointment that he couldn't screw up, but what else had this ass clown that he called a secretary, booked him for.

"Well to remind you, you have an appointment with Higurashi-Sama for the rights of her new book and oh afterwards dinner with Mr. Yamagushi. I'm not sure what he wanted to discuss but he said it was urgent and couldn't be put back any longer. I believe that is all."

'That's all" Inuyasha mocked and mumbled. Koga always seemed to make his work load seem like nothing. "Okay I'll stop by the office first." He slammed the phone down. It may be difficult to get the girl to sign but he would but then also meeting with Mr. Yamagushi, that always meant trouble.

Inuyasha put on his Armani suit and looked over himself in the mirror. 'Perfect' He said and prepared himself for a hellish day.

<><><><><><><>& lt;>

"Good morning Kagome-Chan, has the book coming?" Sango came pouncing into her office; no knock just barge right in. That was all the respect she got around here. It also agitated the all hell out of her that her underling was inferring that she was the one below. Everyone here was crazy.

"Fine Sango, something you need?" Kagome said in between a sip of her coffee.

"Well escaping Mr. Pervert and also going over you schuale for today. Did you know we got a very large offer from Mr. Taishio? He even beat Shippo's offer for the rights." Kagome seemed to be holding a nonexistent breath, someone wanted to pay more?

"Earth to Kagome" Sango waved her hand in Kagome's face, getting her out of her daydream.

"Sorry" She mumbled. "Anyways Kagome he'll be here at ten, so you've got time." Sango said and exited the door, off to go plan more events and charities to make Kagome's life even more hell.

"Got to get moving with this" She turned her lab top on and began typing. 'No, no good' and there went any ideas she had. The book was coming along horribly. This man that was coming to see her was going to be mighty disappointed with the final product.

<><><><><><><>& lt;><>

"Inuyasha you're late, what the hell took you so long?" Koga barked. He had been working since the crack of dawn and here comes his boss strolling in an hour late. "Ever hear of traffic?" Inuyasha said and laid his coat and bag down on the table.

"Got all the information I need?" Inuyasha reached his hand out, waiting for the contents he needed.

"Yeah you ungrateful bastard" he slapped it in his hand. "Thanks would be nice" he said in between a few profanities.

"Thanks Koga, now I'm off to go strike a deal with lady luck." He smiled and walked out.

"Good morning Inuyasha!" Kikyo shouted and latched onto his arm. She would never leave him alone. "Kikyo I have an appointment this morning, lay off." He tried shaking her off but she was like a flee, hungry for blood.

"But Inu-baby"

"Don't call me that" He butted in and made a mad dash for his motorvechile. Even in stiletto heels Kikyo was fast. He punched the gas before she jumped aboard.

"I'll get you Inuyasha Taishio" Kikyo mumbled and watched his car drive away in the distance.

<><><><><><><>& lt;><>

"Kagome, Mr. Taishio is here to see you." Sango spoke into her intercom. Kagome swallowed 'This is it' "Send him in" she warily spoke.

Kagome stood up and fixed her appearance, straightening out her skirt and brushing some imaginary dust off her sleeve. The door opened and when Kagome took a good look at him her knees almost bucked 'Oh dear god!'

Inuyasha couldn't believe who was standing before his very own eyes. 'The dance goddess from last night.' Millions of different thoughts clouded his head and one being Kagome Higurashi was not some fat, old woman but a chick and two being she was also rich, gorgeous, intelligent, not some bimbo off the streets. 'Oh thank you god for this second chance.' He mentally prayed.

He extended his hand "Nice to formally meet you Ms. Higurashi." Kagome saw that smirk 'He knows'

"Don't worry your secret is safe with me." That made Kagome feel worse. Was she that readable? She stumbled for her coffee mug and took a large sip; her mouth had gone dry awhile ago.

"What secret would you be referring to Mr. Taishio?" 'Play dumb Kagome old girl, maybe he won't know'

"Oh maybe that your not some prostitute looking for fun."

"Okay what do you want? You knew all along, didn't you?" Kagome's face grew redder, each minute that passed made her feel even more uncomfortable than before

"Actually I had no idea of who you were until now. You do a good job at hiding you identity." Kagome wanted to smash her head in a brick wall. 'The next time I need inspiration, I'm going to the park.'

"I'm really here to discuss business with you, babe" She bit her lip and watched as he pulled out some papers.

"I want to publish your book and I know I'm your highest offer, not even Lee can pay you two million yen but you know the more I think about this. I don't have to pay you anything because I could just tell everyone you're secret and well you wouldn't want that would you?"

Kagome was crashing and burning. 'Would he do that? This man was more than just a great dancer but also and excellent business man.'

"So if I sign this contract you'll pay me nothing but keep my secret safe"

"Well I guess I could do that but paying you nothing is too cold and against my will. I mean you have been working hard." He missed that skeptical look she just shot him. 'This woman is so easy and she is going to bring me loads of money in but why does she want to keep her popularity so low?'

"One million yen and all you have to do is sign." He laid the contract right in front of her. 'Damn him lowering his offering one million but I'm still getting more than I normally would from Lee, really what harm could it do.'

"Alright Mr. Taishio, I guess to keep my secret safe I'll except you lowering it down to one million yen" Though that sounded really bad on her tongue. Kagome flipped threw the contents, skimming certain sections until she came to the last page, right in italics it said signature, and how such little words could screw someone over.

Inuyasha licked his lips. He knew he had her. He watched her very slowly pick up the ball point pen and very neatly, yet very slowly sign her name. 'Bingo'

"Well Ms. Higurashi I'm so glad we could do business. I'll keep in touch, sweetheart." Kagome wanted to punch him in the face as he left. 'Cocky asshole, I feel like I just sold my soul to the devil'

<><><><><><><>& lt;><><>

Inuyasha picked up one of her business cards as he left, wouldn't want her to slip away and set off to meet Mr. Yamagushi. 'She was stubborn but I have her now' He smiled and parked his car.

He ducked for any signs of his 'stalker' "Coast is clear" he mumbled and sprinted off before she really did show up.

"Inuyasha, Inuyasha over here!" There was the old fool sitting, waiting for him to arrive. He casually strolled over and took a seat across from him.

"I'm so glad we finally get to talk" There was a grunt from the other side of the table. "Sorry indigestion"

"Uhuh now like I was saying Inuyasha you finally hit that age" He wanted to mentally scream. He knew where this was going. He had gotten this speech a little while ago.

"Its time for you to settle down and when your father died he said when you hit 21 you have to marry. You cannot be free and spend the rest of your life unwisely. These were your father's last wishes and god damnit Inuyasha we are going to abide by them." That turning feeling that you get in the pit of your stomach was slowly creeping up on Inuyasha.

It wasn't that he couldn't find a bride, hell he could have a thousand but he never wanted one.

"And if you don't find a bride in exactly one month you will marry Kikyo" Well there went his dinner and his whole appetite. 'Why is everyone so cruel?'
