By: opalshyne

 

A/N: Wuzz Up! Chap six is ↑ yo!

Not quite sure why I decided to talk/write like that, but…yeah, so…you know…

Yeah, whatever, REVIEW! ^-*

 

Disclaimer: hey everyone, so you know how I always say I don't own Inuyasha…?

Well, that may be true, but does Rumiko Takahashi own a piece of hair from a horses mane…I don't think so!

So even though I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA, I do have a piece of horse hair…which is better…right?

Kagome's alarm clock went off and she sat straight up, frightened by the sound of her alarm and the youki that surrounded her, for a moment, she thought she was back in the Sengoku Jidai, being woken by the scream of an attacking youkai. She looked around her at the room, surprised for a moment it wasn't the room she had grown up in. but then she remembered where she now lived, and that she had a job interview in an hour. Kagome shook her head to try and rid herself of the grogginess before jumping out of bed and running into the bathroom where she would go about preparing for the first job interview of the day Sesshoumaru had lined up for her. It seemed as though he didn't trust her to take care of those things on her own…jackass who does he think he is, treating me like a kid, well I'll show him, I'm either going to get every job, or I'll make an idiot of myself and not get every job. Heh, but, that might not be a good idea, I don't want to piss off an already not nice youkai who is, surprisingly, giving me a place to live. Which is weird, 'cause he is always so mean! Well, I guess I shouldn't question his motives, if I do, I might not like what I find out…

Kagome shook her head once more and stepped into the steaming shower. Washing quickly she could feel the time passing and suddenly became worried she would be late, which would make Sesshoumaru mad, which I don't want to do! She jumped out of the shower and ran to the wardrobe that held her clothes, quickly pulling out a black pencil skirt, a white button up shirt and a blue, cashmere sleeveless sweater vest. She threw on her clothes then stepped in her closet to pull out her best black pumps and her purse before stopping in front of the vanity to do her hair up into a French twist. She threw on some lip gloss and a bit of blush before walking out of her room and into the kitchen where Sesshoumaru sat at the table drinking his coffee and stoically looking out the window.

"Hey…"

He looked up at his new roommate, "Hello."

Kagome shifted nervously and then looked down at her shoes, "Well, um, I guess I'll be going, um, I'm not sure when I'll be back, so, you know, don't freak or anything, if I'm not back like, before dark or whatever."

Sesshoumaru only nodded and Kagome nodded back, she stood there in silence, not sure what to do before Sesshoumaru spoke up, "You will be late if you don't go now."

Kagome's head shot up, "Oh, right! Thanks for reminding me," she ran to the front door before stopping, "Goodbye Sesshoumaru!"

He remained silent as she walked out the door and ran across the street and hopped on the bus that pulled up only seconds later.

He thought about what he was going to do, he wondered how he would do this, how he would fix her and make her happy again if he didn't even have the guts to comfort a crying girl. He was disgusted with himself, that he had lain there and listened to her sob, knowing the reason, knowing everything. And yet he did nothing. Did he not invite her to live with him so she would not come to any harm, so that he could somehow fix her, therefore redeeming himself , perhaps by fixing her he would have fixed his daughter too? What a fool he had been, how desperate he was. What he had done was low, it was filthy, he was disgusted with himself. And that a human girl made him feel this way only served to further sicken him. He groaned and then stood up walking into his study and preparing to bury his pain in his work, like he had done for the past few centuries.

 

Kagome sat in the waiting room, waiting for her name to be called. This was her second interview of the day and so far, so good. Her first interview had been with a bank, evidently, Sesshoumaru thought she would be a good teller. He also thought she would be a good dog walker, a good nail manicurist, a fabulous hair dresser, and then the best one, the very best a tour guide, yes that's right, she would have to walk around Japan, a bunch of tourists following her, while she practically relived her own past. Oh, that was just lovely, she would probably end up breaking down and sobbing on the shoulder of some kind American while his idiot wife took pictures! She prayed that she would get the job as the bank teller, she prayed so hard she thought her brain might explode from all the concentration.

"Kagome Higurashi," she heard her name called and quickly stood up, a woman dressed in slacks and a blue button up shirt smiled before leading her down a hall and to a badly decorated office where a middle aged woman smiled at her and offered her a seat. Kagome smiled at the woman before sitting down and setting her purse down beside her.

"Kagome…Higurashi?"

"Yes, ma'am."

The woman nodded her head and flipped through Kagome's resume, nodding here and there, sending an impressed look Kagome's way when she read Sesshoumaru's recommendation, evidently he was very well known and successful in the business world. Kagome picked imaginary lint from her skirt, momentarily letting her nerves get to her before reigning herself in and looking up just as the woman was about to ask her a question, "Have you had any experience with…animals?."

Kagome inwardly groaned, actually, I hate dogs, even though, technically, I used to be in love with one, I'm only here 'cause the ass I lived with thought I would enjoy walking a bunch of overly active, loud, obnoxious things around Tokyo all day!

"Well, when I was younger, I had, a three dogs, a cat and a…fox."

So I fibbed a little, what's the big deal, if you really think about, I really did own a fox, a cat, and at least one dog. I mean come on, Shippou, Kirara, and Inuyasha!

"A fox, that's very interesting, how did that happen?"

"Oh, well, I found him trying to steal some food, his parents had been killed, so, we just took him in and raised him as our own. He was, bitten by a spider and died though…"

And he was, a spider was the reason he died…Naraku was the one who killed him, Naraku had Kanna steal his soul, then his body was devoured by one of Naraku's many low level demon followers. Naraku would be sure that kitsune would remain dead, even if somehow, he was beaten.

Kagome swallowed her sorrow and smiled at the woman, "And your three dogs?"

"Well, my Father got, my brother, my mother, and myself one dog for Christmas before he died."

"Hmm," the woman said before looking back down at the resume, "I see here that you are very good at getting things done, you follow orders well, uh, you are great at 'controlling unruly mutts'?"

Kagome blushed deeply, damn Sesshoumaru, and sibling rivalry straight to hell!

"Um, I, I didn't write that, so, uh, but I mean, yes I'm good at those things, but,uh, no, I didn't write that…"

The woman nodded slowly and then looked at the watch on her wrist, "Well, our time is up, I'll call you , if you're…needed."

Kagome nodded before standing up, "It was very nice to meet you, and thank you for your time," she bowed and the walked out of the room sighing deeply, today is going to be a very long, difficult day!

 

Kagome sighed deeply and kicked off her shoes, groaning she sat down heavily in one of the oversized chairs in the 'family room'. She groaned as she stretched again, she flopped back and slouched into the seat. Her eyes closed momentarily, then snapped open when she felt the youki in the house, "I'll kill him, I swear I will, I will purify him then rip him limb from limb, after that, I'm going to bury him in a human grave, just to add insult to injury…that is how much I hate him right now! "

She stood up and balled her fists by her side, "Sesshoumaru, you jackass! Where are you!"

She hear a cold laugh from the kitchen and marched in there, anger written plainly on her face.

"In a human grave huh? Well, you must really dislike me!"

"Dislike you! Dislike you! No, I more than dislike you, I super-ultra-loathe/hate you!"

He smirked wolfishly and stood, he opened his mouth to speak but Kagome interrupted him, "You better pray I get the job for the bank teller!...Oh! And another thing, " You are great at controlling unruly mutts?! Well, geez, that sure was a fun one to explain!"

Kagome finished her rant, breathing heavily and staring daggers at the over confident youkai who stood before her. He remained silent, only smirking until Kagome groaned and rolled her eyes, "I give up… I hate you!"

She stomped off to her room and flopped down on her bed, closing her eyes and just praying he didn't come in there.

An hour later Sesshoumaru walked into the room where Kagome now lay sleeping, he didn't bother to tell her he was sorry, he didn't bother to tell her he didn't mean to make her upset. Because you see, he was weak, he was afraid what would happen if he really was kind and open, if he really showed his heart. So therefore, he would remain cold, rather cruel. He would remain the stoic beast he had been for the past seven centuries, that way, he could be sure no one would get hurt.
