InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Heart Breakers League ❯ The Hard Core Girl ( Chapter 3 )

The second chapter…. I am so not in the mood to talk right now.

 

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

 

`Hi there, for those of you who actually care I'm Kagome Higurashi AKA Temperamental Goddess.'

 

Kagome gave a nostalgic sigh at the large building before her. Sure it had only been three days since she had seen it last, but this place was her life. With one final glance at the outside structure, she made her way inside… into the headquarters building of The Heart Breakers League.

 

`I work for an all female undercover agency called The Heart Breakers League. Our job? We are hired by women who believe that the boy-toy in their lives is cheating on them. As agents, we get close enough to the unsuspecting guy, figure out their dirty-little-secrets and then drop the oh-so bad news on them like an atomic bomb. It's quite fun actually.'

 

A young lady with soft red hair and green eyes greeted Kagome from the front desk. “Good evening Miss Higurashi, I have a message from Sesshomaru... I think you've really done it this time.”

 

The girl smirked, “Don't I always? Thanks Ayame.”

 

Kagome made her way past the reception desk and into the shiny silver elevators. Her destination lied within the wrath of the walls of floor sixteen. This was going to be too good.

 

`If you're wondering who this Sesshomaru is, by the way… he is my beloved boss. I know I said this was an all female organization bent on ruining the lives of credulous men… and yet, it's just so ironic how we are all under the authority of one man hn? But anyway, Sesshomaru is the center of this whole association and I am his leading agent. I've been the best of the best since the beginning and I plan things staying that way.'

 

The elevator doors opened to a swarm of giddy young ladies awaiting the arrival of their fair Kagome Higurashi.

 

“How was the mission Kagome!?”

 

“Yeah! How bad were you this time!?”

 

“Did he cry!?”

 

“Didja put some of those amazing ninja skills to work!?”

 

“Alrighty make way! Best friends coming through!” Sango and Rin pushed their way through the ecstatic crowds towards their grinning friend.

 

`That's Sango and Rin AKA Violent Angel and The Maniac. They're my two best friends. I've known Sango for about three years now and Rin became very close to me when she joined The Heart Breakers League last year. She's still a newbie at the whole agent thing but is a really big computer freak like Sango. They look out for me during my missions and without them; I'd probably be out of a job.'

 

Finally able to see her friend, Sango folded her arms and turned a scolding glare onto Kagome. “Don't stand there looking so smug missy! You're in deep this time!”

 

This Sango character was a beauty beyond compare. She had dark brown eyes with pink eyes shadow and long brown hair which was up in a high ponytail. Silver hoop earrings dangled from her lobes and she wore a plain large white t-shirt with dark blue jeans. Not much on the fashion side, but she worked in a computer room everyday, so why bother dressing up? She had nobody to impress. That's how she always was, and her name stuck to her too. Violent Angel were the only two words that could really describe her for her.

 

“Way to go Kagome!” Rin cheered, playfully punching the girl's shoulder.

 

Rin was a different story. She was a really beautiful young lady like her two friends, but looks can definitely be deceiving; especially with her. She was bouncing around like a little child and was one through and through. Her brown shoulder length hair was a total wreck, probably from all that pushing and shoving, and she wore a light orange sweater with light blue jeans. Rin's soft brown eyes sparkled as she gazed upon Kagome. She had always looked up to her and vowed to one day, kick-as-many-asses as she did.

 

“Rin! Don't encourage her!”

 

“Ladies, please. It was no big deal. Just the usual kick a guy's ass here and there.” Kagome modestly smiled.

 

“Yeah well you're gonna have to do a lot of explaining to Sessh. He doesn't seem too happy about this one.” Sango replied seriously.

 

Kagome merely shrugged off her friend's comment. “Sesshomaru practically works for me guys. Besides, how mad can he be?”

 

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

 

“I'm so bloody infuriated with you Higurashi!”

 

Lightning thrashed outside the large dark windows as Kagome rolled her eyes, messing with a sleeve on her large baggy grey hoodie. She had recently changed before visiting Sesshomaru and was now in a more comfortable outfit, slouching sideways in a large desk chair with her capri covered legs hanging over the arm rests.

 

The weather seemed to have become extremely wicked right about the same time Sesshomaru began his on-going lecture. Continuing his angry ranting, the fuming boss paced back and forth from behind his desk. “What do you have against the simple concept of a well deserved vacation huh!?”

 

Kagome smiled innocently up at the man's accusing expression. “Nothing, I just like working more than vacationing.”

 

“Well start liking vacationing! Because I spent 5,000 bucks on that trip to New York for you! That damn fancy ass hotel must think I'm a total idiot because I booked the best suite and for what!? An invisible nobody Kagome Higurashi!”

 

Ayame, from the front desk, quietly entered the room placing a sweet smelling box on the desk. She slightly bowed to Sesshomaru before leaving.

 

“Oh! Are those Krispy Kremes!?” Kagome cooed, opening the box and taking an éclair. “Yum I am starved!”

 

Sesshomaru smacked his forehead and slumped into his chair, exasperated with the girl. `Does anything get through to this chick!?' He watched amusingly for a moment as Kagome licked the chocolate icing off her fingers.

 

“You want some?” Kagome offered holding out the now chocolate-less doughnut.

 

Sesshomaru chuckled, all his anger towards the girl forgotten. He could never stay mad at Kagome for too long. She was just… well… she was Kagome. “No I'm fine… I'll eat the rest of my doughnuts later.” He replied, taking the box and putting it on the file cabinet behind him.

 

“Oh you're so mean. I wasn't done with those.” Kagome pouted biting into her éclair.

 

“Yes well I'll have Ayame send you some later then. In the meantime, I trust you understand that I'm tired of going through this with you. So if you plan on doing this again…”

 

Kagome raised a brow awaiting his next choice of words.

 

Sesshomaru sighed and smiled at her. “Just do it with your case files and not the restricted ones okay?”

 

Kagome beamed up at the man. “Really!? Thanks Sessh! I promise that I'll never have Sango hack into your computer ever again! By the way… she and Rin didn't get in trouble did they?”

 

“No, they didn't and I don't want just Sango not hacking into my computer either. That also means Rin can't.”

 

“Aye aye Mon Capitan!” Kagome winked.

 

“And you too for that matter.” Sesshomaru added slyly.

 

“Crap!”

 

“Ah ha. I've learned how to locate all of your little loop holes missy. Now I do believe it's time for you to go home. I'll see you tomorrow for a real mission. Understand?” Sesshomaru smiled, giving the girl his I'm serious look.

 

“Yeah yeah, see you in the morning.” Kagome waved, hopping out of her chair.

 

“And you'd better put that black dress back in the wardrobes department I just had it dry cleaned before you stole it!” Sesshomaru shouted after the girl receiving a thumbs-up.

 

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

 

“So what's the damage?” Sango asked, finishing up her Chinese food.

 

Sango and Rin were lounged around Kagome's large desk as Kagome check her e-mail for more mission notices. “No damage. I got off scott free.”

 

Sango rolled her eyes and grunted. “Again!? For once I would like to see you get in real trouble young lady! And just because I'm tired of you proving me wrong!”

 

“Puhleez! Kagome Higurashi in trouble? Don't make me laugh!” Rin snorted, taking a bite out of her Rice Krispies Treat. “Sesshomaru's just a softy underneath that cold exterior of his. That's why Temperamental Goddess over here keeps getting away with her shit.”

 

“And you would know this how Rin?” Kagome slyly giggled along with Sango.

 

Rin blushed. “I just do that's all!”

 

Sango began mocking her very flustered friend, “Rin and Sesshy sittin in a tree. K I S S I N G.”

 

“Shut up Sango!”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at her friends' silliness. “Don't worry Rin; Sesshomaru is yours for the taking. I ain't interested. But how someone like you could like someone as stuffy as him is beyond me.”

 

“He's not stuffy!”

 

“Ahem…”

 

The girls looked up to see a pale young lady with long black hair and dark brown eyes. She was dressed in a dark blue rain coat and was holding a black umbrella which was totally drenched to the max.

 

“Do any of you know where I can find a Kagome Higurashi?”

 

“Sorry ma'am but the office is closed. Come back in the morning.” Rin replied, taking another large chomp out of her Rice Krispies Treat.

 

“Listen chick, I really need to find her! I walked all the way here in this Godforsaken storm just to find her! Now I'm asking again! Tell me where she is!”

 

“I am right here. And nobody talks to my friend like that except me! Got it chick!?” Kagome replied coldly to the ill-mannered intruder.

 

The girl immediately looked apologetic and gave the girls a pleading expression, clasping her hands together. “Oh I'm so sorry! But I really need your help! It's about my boyfriend!”

 

Sango interrupted the girl. “Rin already told you to come back tomorrow Miss uh?”

 

“Oh! I'm Kikyo Maboroshi! And I didn't know when you were open so I figured…”

 

“That we were open at ten o' clock at night?” Rin finished, eying the clock behind Kikyo.

 

“Okay so I'm a wee bit late…” Kikyo rolled her eyes. “But please you have to help me. It's Urgent! MY FUTURE WITH THIS MAN DEPENDS ON IT!” By now the girl was on her knees, in front of Kagome and in a begging pose.

 

“Okay, okay… cut with the crappy drama and I'll listen to what you have to say.” Kagome nauseatingly replied.

 

“Oh thank you so much!” Kikyo smiled, rummaging through her small purse. “This is a picture of what he looks like…” She set down a wallet-sized photograph of a handsome smug looking young man with gorgeous amber eyes and long silver hair.

 

Rin gasped, “Hey! He looks like Sesshomaru! Without the girly features…”

 

“You're right!” Sango blinked. “Does you're boyfriend-”

 

“Fiancé.”

 

Sango gave the girl a flat uncaring glare. “…Fiancé have a brother?”

 

Kikyo shook her head. “No, he's an only child.”

 

“Well, the similarities between him and Sessh are a little uncanny.” Kagome sighed. “But you're his fiancé, so I'll just go by what you say.”

 

Sango and Rin gaped at their friend. “You're going to help her!?”

 

“You're going to help me!?”

 

Kagome nodded, staring at the picture. “I can't just turn you away. Besides, you were desperate. What's his name?”

 

“InuYasha.”

 

“Hmmm… cute name for a cute boy; go figure.” Rin giggled.

 

“Yeah, Kagome got lucky today, haven't worked with anything like him before.” Sango smirked.

 

Kikyo seemed to be becoming increasingly angry at the two girls. “Yes, well mind you he's already taken.”

 

Sango raised a brow at the irritated girl. “Whatever, it's not like I'm interested anyway. And my friend here has got the hots for someone else. So don't you worry that pretty little head of yours.” She leaned over and whispered to Rin. “No wonder why this dude is cheating on her… good for him.”

 

“He's not cheating on me!” Kikyo snapped.

 

“Oh? Then why do you need me?” Kagome raised a brow.

 

“I mean… I hope he's not cheating… I don't know. He's just been so mean to me recently and he's never around anymore. Ever since I had my parents ask him to propose to me-”

 

Kagome help up one of her hands, “Time out. You forced him to propose to you?”

 

`Jeeze this chick gets weirder and weirder.' Sango sighed.

 

“I did no such thing! We were already dating and we both wanted to get married! I just sped the process up a bit!” Kikyo folded her arms crossly as if the question was really so horrible to ask.

 

“Uh hu… so you forced him into it?” Rin asked again.

 

“I DID NOT!”

 

Kagome scolded the two bickering girls. “Alright, alright! Shush! So InuYasha's being an ass and is never around when you need him? Do you know where he does go?”

 

Kikyo shrugged. “I'm not sure… but I do remember him taking me to a bar called the Dokushin Seikatsu (Bachelor's Life Kehe)… he said it was his favorite place to be when he had a lot on his mind.”

 

“Well then, I'll start there tomorrow evening. I'll make your case top priority if it'll shut you u- I mean… make you happy.” Kagome smiled.

 

Kikyo smiled back gratefully. “Arigato! I'll pay anything you ask!”

 

Kagome held up her hand again. “Sorry, but I don't accept anything from my employers, just my boss.”

 

“But I insist! My parents own half the large companies here in Tokyo! We'll be able to pay anything! I'm not taking no for an answer!”

 

Sango sneered. “Yeah right, a case like this is expensive! With all the digital shit I gotta sift through? You can't possibly pay 20, 000 bucks off the top of your wallet!”

 

Kikyo pulled out her check book and a pink ball point pen and gave the girls a stern glare, “I'll. Pay. Anything.”

 

Kagome gaped at the girl before glancing at her friends who were also in an unbelievable state of shock. “Umm… Kikyo. My friend here was just joking… a case isn't usually that much… and I'm afraid I don't feel comfortable accepting your money anyway. I get paid enough by my boss to need hand outs.”

 

“I don't care! I'll give you whatever you want! I'm going to come back in a week to see what you've come across, by then you'd better name your price or I'll name it for you. And trust me, Kikyo Maboroshi isn't cheap.” With that the girl picked up her belongings at marched out of the room.

 

“Holy crap! Didja see that!” Rin laughed, all giddy-like. “She was actually gonna give us whatever we asked!”

 

“I know, little miss snob has a real reason for being snobby.” Sango scoffed.

 

Kagome stared down at the picture of InuYasha Kikyo had left on her desk. “So he's the dude I'm hunting down this time huh? What a pity, a guy like him shouldn't have to cheat on a girl like Kikyo.”

 

“What do you mean?” Sango raised a brow. “Just because Kikyo has got the money doesn't mean she's got the goods ya know.”

 

“Yeah.” Rin cut in. “Not all guys date a girl for money Kag.”

 

“Yeah and not all guys are bad right?” Kagome gave her friends a cross glare. “Save it. I've heard all that mumbo jumbo shit before and I'm not falling for it ever again. Every guy out there is a jerk and all of them only want what benefits their sad and sorry lives! They can care less for what a girl really needs!” She looked up to see Sango and Rin staring at her with hurt expressions.

 

“Oh… I'm sorry… I went off again didn't I?” Kagome bit her lower lip as her friends nodded.

 

“Kag, don't worry… this is why you're an agent here.” Sango smiled sweetly.

 

“Yeah, and it's why you're the best.” Rin agreed. “You're just an independent girl is all.”

 

Kagome frowned down at the picture again and sighed. “Yeah well, I'm gonna go home now ladies. Goodnight.”

 

“See ya in the morning Kag.” Rin replied tossing her treat wrapper into the trash can.

 

“Yeah, I'm calling it quits too.” Sango yawned, dumping out her Chinese box before stretching out the kinks in her body.

 

“Hey Sango?”

 

“Yeah?” The girl turned to Rin who seemed quite concerned.

 

“Has Kagome always been like that?”

 

Sango frowned, “I dunno… she's just been through a lot in her life I guess, after her dad walked out… but I'm afraid that's all I can tell you.”

 

“I see. Well, maybe one day I'll find the real Kagome Higurashi in her… if she's not already lost.” Rin smiled.

 

“Yeah… maybe. I'll see you tomorrow Rin.” Sango replied, walking out of the office.

 

“Yuppers.”

 

`Poor Kagome… I hope she's alright…'

 

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

 

“Oh, home sweet home.” Kagome sighed, unlocking the metal door to her apartment room. The sounds of her two dogs whimpering and barking through the door made her giggle. “Hasukii? Akitainu? Are you hungry boys?”

 

More barking and whimpering could be heard after the question, making Kagome giggle again. She opened the door, falling flat onto her back as the large white Akita and grayish blue Husky attacked her with little licks and nips.

 

“Okay! Okay! Okay! I get it; never joke about how hungry you are again! I'm sorry!” She cried from under the dog pile. “Guys and their stomachs! Jeeze!”

 

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

 

12:13 am

 

Kagome sighed as she closed her romance novel and placed it on the silky maroon bed sheets that covered her. “Well that was a boring waste of my time.”

 

She looked over at Hasukii and Akitainu who were both lying on the bed by her feet. “What? Don't give me that look. I finished it didn't I?”

 

Akitainu gave her a high grunt making Kagome gasp. “I did too finish it! And it was boring… like the other romance novels you made me read.”

 

This time Hasukii grunted at her. “Of course I finished those books… I didn't stop reading them when they became sappy…” Kagome huffed, looking away from her dogs. She glanced back and they were giving her identical expressions of the yes you did look.

 

“Okay so what if I never finish the books. They all end up the same anyway. It's all stupid mushy lovey dovey shit. That's what it is.”

 

Akitainu tilted his head and barked.

 

“Don't tell me to watch my mouth! I don't have to listen to you. I feed you!” Kagome smirked sticking out her tongue.

 

Both dogs gave her a cute little whimper and she smiled, leaning over to hug them. “You two are the only people… uh… dogs… on earth who understand me. I love you both…”

 

Hasukii and Akitainu wagged their tails and licked their owners face in appreciation for what she had said. Then, they began to loudly bark at her.

 

“Alright! I'm going to sleep Jeeze… what are you my parents?” Kagome grinned, turning the lamp off and pulling up the covers around her. “Just so you know I'll be home late again tomorrow, so you'd better go outside when I let you out, because after that you're screwed. And don't get into the trash again. I'll feed you when I get back.”

 

Akitainu gave her a low growl and she growled back. “Don't grrr me! And I don't care if it was hasukii's idea. You were in on it too so you're in trouble for being a partner in crime buddy.”

 

Akitainu grunted, and pressed his ears to the back of his head while Hasukii gleefully wagged his tail.

 

Kagome smirked and yawned, “Now good night to the both of you. I have to go in at 6 because of Sesshomaru and it's already 12:30. And I hope you liked going through that garbage because if I get fired tomorrow for being unable to completely fulfill my duty as a Heart Breaker agent, you'll be eating out of one every day for the rest of your miserable doggy lives got it!?”

 

She received barks from both dogs and smiled, falling fast asleep, awaiting for the next painful day of loneliness to come. But it's not like she really cared, because of course she was Kagome Higurashi and Kagome Higurashi was an outsider, a loner an independent young lady focused on her happy life with her great job, caring friends, and two loveable huggable dogs that listened and argued back with her.

 

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

 

Alright then I hope you guys like this chappy. I enjoyed typing it… and sadly… the reason why this chapter was so amazingly written with such care… is because I actually found it odd how Kagome in this story is almost exactly like me when it comes to guys. Ahem… but enough about my sad life. Kehe Hope you figured out which dog was which… their names are only their breed in Japanese.

 

Catch y'all later! JA NE!!! Love me
