Chapter 2
Understanding In A Crisis
Understanding that he wished to test her she grabbed another sword a little shorter than the length of her arm. While Mitsurugi grabbed the sword on the top, one sword was next to it. It was a rusty old looking blade much like the one Mitsurugi held in his hands.
“We’ll just have a little practice no real physical contact.” He told her advancing to the center of the dojo, with Kagome close on his heels. He took up a position closer to the left side of the room, which left Kagome the right side. “I’ll let you come at me first.” He told her once she was ready.
I flipped my hair over my shoulder. I wasn’t expecting to fight my almost-employer. Fortunately my clothes were simple and easy to move in.
Taking a steadying breath I launched myself towards Sesshoumaru. The bored expression he gave me was annoying as hell. I jumped to the left and pretended to strike his side, which he nimbly dodged. I feinted up, but instead dropped to the floor and tried to dropkick him.
Quickly he jumped above my swinging leg and made a sharp jab at my stomach. I rolled out of the way and parried with a flick of the wrist and grabbed his arm.
“Caught you.” I huffed as a bead of sweat dripped into my eyes, my hair was starting to get itchy as the sweat matted it to my head.
He didn't repond but I knew something was about to happen. Call it gut instinct. Suddenly he straightened lifting his arm up with me still hanging off it. He ripped my arms off his and held her with both hands setting her back on her own two feet. He was so quick I barely even registered what was happening.
With one swift motion he kicked my legs out from underneath me and pinned me to the ground with his knee and free hand..
“You have lost.” A smirk appeared on his long slender face. The rush of adrenaline in my body disappeared in that instant. There was something dangerous about that smirk, and not it the sexy way. It scared her. And one glance up at the man above her told her, she had indeed lost.
Sesshoumaru got up off me and brushed imaginary dust off his pants and dress shirt. “You’re hired, when can you start?” The man took the sword from me and replaced both of our weapons in their respectful places. Than he walked to the door and turned slightly to face me. I was still in a state of shock from hitting the ground so hard and losing. I didn't even have enough sense to think up a bipolar joke about his personality.
I picked myself up off the floor. And stood still my mouth opening and closing as I tried to get myself to make some sort of noise. Finally I managed to squeak out, “As soon as you want me too.”
“Good, you start now.” He said as walked out of the room. When I didn’t follow him he stopped and backed up into the room. “Are you coming or not?” he said with a glance in her direction.
“Oh... Hm... Yes.” I shook my head clear of the haze that had settled over my mind and followed him.
I followed the white-haired wonder down the hallway of the eleventh floor. The middle floor of the building. Even though the hallway was sparkling clean there were dents in the wall. Dents? What is this place? A house for escaped convicts?
I glanced around in awe as I walked Everything was so... fancy and chic. The narrow hallway we were in split into two larger hallways. Sesshoumaru came to a halt, which caused me to bump into him. “Oh sorry!” I exclaimed but Sesshoumaru ignored me.
He pointed one slender hand to the left. “This hallway leads to the employee’s lounge and Cafeteria. There is a map halfway down the hallway in case you don’t where you are.” I nodded to show I got that, he put his hand down and tilted his head visibly to his right, “And this hall leads my office and the offices of many essential people in my business.”
Without another word he headed to the right. And rushing right up to him was a lean girl with her auburn hair up in two pigtails.
She ran down to Sesshoumaru and stopped running at the last possible moment. She looked innocently up at him and a smile light up her whole face. “Sesshoumaru-sama! You never smile, you should smile more often! If you don’t your face could permanently be frozen in that frown of yours!” She chided him and ran off before he say a word.
“And that,” he said turning to look behind himself at me “was one of my employees named Ayame, she is Kouga Nitome’s secretary." With that said he continued walking. I must have had a pretty confused look on my face. You would too after having met that Red Bull addict.
Sesshoumaru opened the last door on this part of the hallway. The open door revealed a white-walled room with a black carpet, and on the ceiling an elaborate mural of a huge white dog howling at a full moon.
The desk sat at the back of the room with a black computer chair, which was swiveling back and forth.
The computer chair held another male with long unruly hair who was currently facing the other way staring out the huge bay windows.
Suddenly the chair swirled around and revealed a young man who was defiantly related to Sesshoumaru. There was no doubt that they were related, they each shared the same traits, long white hair, golden eyes, and an inhuman grace.
The male cracked a smirk “Yo! Fluff-ball! Who’s the chick?” a haughty voice rang out. A malicious glint appeared in his eyes like he was challenging Sesshoumaru.
He just looked unfazed and barely gave the younger man a passing glance as he headed towards a file cabinet in the corner of the room. He rooted through the draw leaving me angrily glaring at the man in the chair. Some people are really thick. Especially this guy.
The guy opened his mouth to say something else.
Suddenly Sesshoumaru stopped shifting through his files and looked back over his shoulder at the at the other man. “Inuyasha, I suggest you shut your mouth. I don’t really think my bodyguard likes it when you call her names. And what have I told you about coming into my office when you aren’t invited?”
“Hey I was done with my work and there was nothing else to do, everyone else was working!" The young man whined as he crossed his arms huffily over his chest.
So his name is Inuyasha. It suited him.
“Inuyasha, if it’s work you’re looking for I’d be happy to give some.” He shot back at Inuyasha, when only silence and a nasty look greeted him Sesshoumaru continued. “Well than Inuyasha you can always go and collect the new information Miroku should be done with.”
When Inuyasha didn’t budge from the seat Sesshoumaru gave him a deadly cold glare. “I expect you to go over all the work he has done in the past week and get it back to me before dinner.” He commanded.
Harsh. But he deserved it. I felt bad for anyone of the recieving end of his death glare. As Inuyasha walked past me and out the door her his shoulder banged into me. Almost knocking me over.
“You’ll have ignore him. He doesn’t know how to quit when he is ahead.” Sesshoumaru said as he handed me some documents he had just found. “Here, these hold your contract. Read through them I’ll be back in a half-in- hour.”
Before I could reply he had left and was headed down the hallway leaving me alone in his office.
I gulped “Oh well better get started, these documents shouldn’t take me that long to read though.” With a tired sigh I walked towards Sesshoumaru's desk and collapsed into his chair. My stomach grumbled unhappily.
I flipped through the first pages and barely even looked at what I was supposed to be reading. Out of shear boredom I started whistling. It was a song I had known since my childhood.
It began softly and escaladed higher and than back down. It was short and sweet, a song her mother had sang to me to try to get me to sleep. Softly I began to sing the familiar melody as I skimmed through the contract.
My eyes passed down to the line where I was supposed to fill in information about myself. Name - Kagome Higurashi, Age – 26, Gender – Female, and Material Status – Single and other little expected tid bits.
Hmmm, I have the job for one month... short. Ether this guy doesn’t expect he will need me that much or he is raring to die. I shook her head, at least the odds are not against me for being fired. But with him I’ll probably be fired before the day is out.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door and when I didn't reply it was opened by a brunette with his hair up in a ponytail. He quickly scanned the room and his eyes rested on me.
A smirk appeared on his face, a glint in his eyes..
End Chapter 2
Arty – We so totally suck at writing action and fighting scenes.
Akuma - Dude we’re so totally lucky that we have Yaumi here to practice the moves on.
