Eheheheheheh, stop telephoning me-eh. I would like to dedicate this chapter to Inu_Yokai. Thnx for the loyal reading’!! On with the story!!
Sesshoumaru was sitting in his office filing papers. Kagura still wasn’t here yet! She was now 1 minute and 30 seconds late… 32, 33, 34, 59... Just then a young woman, about 20, walked into his office. Her brown hair was up in a bun and she was wearing a red silk button up shirt and a black pencil skirt with black stilettos.
“Late are we?,” Sesshoumaru asked.
“My key wasn’t working in the elevator,” she explained.
“Well I’ll let it go this one time because you wore my favorite shirt,” he said as he inspected her cleavage.
“You do know I can sue you for sexual harassment, right?”, she asked as she narrowed her eyes.
“Why would you want to do that?”
“You can honestly tell me that you don’t find th way you treat women disgusting and inappropriate?”
“Define “disgusting” and “inappropriate.”
“Ughhhh…I’ll be at my desk.”
“Wouldn’t you rather be laying on mine?”, he asked he innocently.(A/N: perv…)
“You!”, Kagura started.
Just then, Inuyasha walked into the office. He assessed the situation: a fuming Kagura and a soon-to-be dead Sesshoumaru.
“You do know we have to be at the house in an hour, right?”, he turned to Kagura and ass said, ” Kagura, I’m sorry if my brother is being an ass. If it helps, I put what you asked for on your desk. When you get a chance it’s there for you.”
Kagura smiled evilly and left the room with a small “thank you” to Inuyasha. “What did she ask for?”, Sesshoumaru asked.
“Something. Let’s go Sessh-mu,” he said avoiding the question.
“What have I told you about that ridiculous name you insist on calling me?”, he asked, leaving with his brother.
At Kagura’s Desk…
Kagura approached her desk and searched for the item. Right on the center of the desk, was a manila envelope. She smiled again and picked it up and ripped it open like a child on Christmas morning. Inside was Sesshoumaru’s diary/journal from his teen years. ‘Jackpot,’ she snickered as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha passed by. Inuyasha sent her one of the smallest of nods and she nodded back her smile growing. Kagura had paid big for this journal. 40,747 yen… (A/N: that’s $350 in America…) It was worth it…
~THE NEXT DAY~
Sesshoumaru stepped into Taishou Industries with an arrogant attitude. Kagura was sitting at her desk, typing away. He smirked when he approached her. He leaned over the side of her desk.
“I hope you’re not looking at anything explicit,” he said.
She stops typing immediately. As usual, Sesshoumaru quietly snuck up on her. Kagura looks up at him, her irritation setting in upon seeing his arrogant face. Oh, how she wanted to staple his lips to his forehead, but that would probably get her fired… (A/N: well isn‘t she violent…) “Don’t you have someone else to sexually harass?”
“Why do you constantly turn me down?,” he asked, genuinely curious.
“Because I don’t have time for your games and I come here to work not to play.”
“All work and no play makes for a dull girl.”
“All play and no work makes for a whore.”
“Not true. Whore’s work while they’re playing.”
“Go to your office,” she commanded.
“If you come with me.” She couldn’t help, but pick up his second meaning to that.
“Look, Mr. Takahashi. I’m warning you from now. I’ve put up with your perverted nonsense for this long. Keep it up and you’ll be looking for a new assistant,” she threatened.
“Threat: noted,” he said, walking away.
Kagura sat in her chair and sulked. ‘Sesshoumaru’. He was everything she wanted in a man physically. ‘His personality is the problem.’ when she first got this job, her fears were being distracted by him and eventually getting fired, but now she’s more worried about him being distracted. ‘His brother’s not that way.’ She spun in her chair, contemplating. ‘Inuyasha doesn’t degrade women the way Sesshoumaru does. If only he was older…’ Kagura sighed.
“What’s wrong now?,” Sesshoumaru asked, somewhat concerned for his secretary.
“I was just thinking that if your brother were was older he’d be the perfect guy for me,” Kagura answered.
“Wonderful, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear,” he said, sarcastically.
“Always here to help,” she chirped, oblivious to his changed demeanor.
Sesshoumaru left her alone once again. He walked back to his office, upset. Sesshoumaru entered and shut the door slowly after him. He rested hid forehead against the door and sighed. Sesshoumaru turned around and found Inuyasha lounging an a leather chair listening to his Ipod and Kagome sitting on his desk going through his candy jar picking out the ones she liked.
Sesshoumaru stops.
“Aren’t you two supposed to be at school? And how did you get in here?”
“Hai, Inu no niichan,” Kagome said.
“Through the window it was the only way of getting in without you catching us.”
“Why aren’t you in school?”
“Because, Stupid wanted to get to know Kagura and if she was skipping so was I,” Inuyasha explained.
“Fine. Do what you want, just don’t distract my workers,” Sesshoumaru said.
“Yeah, yeah,” Kagome said, getting off the desk and popping a caramel candy in her mouth and throwing the wrapper on Inuyasha. She left the room with a smile on her face.
Kagome walked out to Kagura’s desk. She sat on the mahogany counter, swirling the candy around in her mouth. After two minutes, Kagura looks up at the teenager. Kagome smiles and gives a small wave.
“Okay, what do you want?”, Kagura asked, throwing her pencil down. Her crossword puzzles’ just have to wait.
“Why do you think I want something?”
Kagura gave her a look. “Okay, I want to ask you a question.”
“Go ahead,” Kagura permitted.
“Why do you work for Sesshoumaru if you can’t stand him?”
“Because…,” she started. Kagome paid rapt attention to the elder woman. Finding the words, Kagura said, “when you have a five-year-old daughter you have to feed and take care of and her dead-beat father won’t pay child support you take what you can get. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daughter and would do anything for her. Which is why I work here. The pay’s good and I barely do any work.”
“Gomen na sai (sorry), Kagura-san. I had no idea.”
“It’s alright. Now… can I ask you a question?,” Kagura asked
“You just did, but okay.”
“How do you feel about Inuyasha-kun?”
“What?,” Kagome asked, he cheeks getting a nice pink tint.
“I mean…what is he to you…what do you want him to be?”
“He’s a good friend,” she answered honestly.
“What do you want him to be? A friend or more?,” Kagura asked.
“Uh…*she swallows her candy* …I…Kagura, I think you’re reading too much into it. We’re just friends,” Kagome explained.
“Alright then, Kagome-chan. Just friends,” Kagura said, getting back to her crossword puzzle. Kagome slid off the desk and walked over to the water bubbler on the other side of the room for a drink to help her suffering throat. “For now,” Kagura whispered, a smile on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha remained completely still with his back against the wall. He had just overheard…eavesdropped on Kagura and Kagome’s conversation. ‘Just friends,’ he thought it over in his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru was sitting at his desk balancing a pencil on the bridge of his nose. Inuyasha walked in on him, “You have waaayyy to much time on hands, Fluffy,” he commented.
“Shut up. Are you two gonna be doing a lot of skipping this year,” Sesshoumaru said moving to the right a little to keep the pencil balanced.
“I guess so?… Did you know had Kagura had a daughter?, Inuyasha asked, as he moved over to Sesshoumaru golf clubs.
“She does?,” Sesshoumaru asked, dropping the pencil.
Kagura and Kagome came into the office together. Kagome seated herself in a chair, sitting sideways. Kagura moved over to a file cabinet and began to search through it. Sesshoumaru looked at her with pity the whole time. After two minutes of his constant staring Kagura looked over to him. “Is there a problem, Sesshoumaru?”
“Kagura, may I talk to you in private, please?,” he asked.
“It depends,” she answered, going back to what she was doing.
“I’m being serious, Kagura.”
Inuyasha looked over to Sesshoumaru and put down the golf club. He moved over to the door, Kagome right behind him. Kagura turned to Sesshoumaru and waited. He had his head down and was fidgeting with his fingers. ‘Was he nervous’? No, Sesshoumaru’s never nervous, she thought.
“Why didn’t you tell me the real reason you need this job?”
“What?”
“If I had known you had a daughter, I would have acted differently towards you. I’m sorry.”
“Who told I had a daughter?,” she asked, suspicious.
“That’s not important, right now-”
“Yes it is! That’s my business!” Kagura was fuming now. The last thing she needed was her business getting out in the office…
“It was Inuyasha who told me. He may have overhead you conversation,” Sesshoumaru said.
“Well… thank you,” she said her anger dissipating, “It means a lot to me.”
“I really am sorry. I’m just surprised as to why your husband hasn’t come to beat me up, yet.”
“I’m single,” was all she said. Kagura’s annoyance came back. She walked over to the door and pulled it open. Inuyasha and Kagome fell in a heap in front of her. She stepped over them and left. Sesshoumaru sat in his chair, shocked. ‘She’s a single mother,’ he thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Sesshoumaru waited for Kagura, but she didn’t show up for work. He didn’t hear from her, nothing. He wanted to call her, but… Sesshoumaru eyed the phone on his desk. Before he could change his mind, he reached and dialed her number. Three rings later, he was regretting it. Finally, someone answered the phone.
“Moshi moshi, “ a childlike voice answered.
“Um, hello. Is Kagura there?,” he asked into the receiver.
“Hold on.”
There was a pause from the other end. As he waited patiently, he contemplated hanging up.
“Moshi moshi,” was heard after the silence.
“Kagura? It’s Sesshoumaru.”
“Hang up?”, she commanded.
“I was just checking on you. You haven’t been to work for 2 days, now and-”
“I’ve been gone for personal reasons,” she interrupted.
“Was that your daughter?”, he asked, changing the subject.
“Yes it was.”
“She sounds adorable, like her mother,” Sesshoumaru added to lighten the mood.
“Flattery will get you nowhere, Takahashi-san.”
“I would love to meet your daughter.”
“I would love a raise,” she said.
“You know what you have to do for that,” he said, a hint of pervertedness leaking through.
“I’d rather bring my daughter to work,” she hissed.
“It’s a deal!”
“What?”
“You bring her tomorrow and I give you a 15% raise. If you play a little I’ll give you a bonus,” he clarified.
Kagura thought it over. She looked over at her daughter, Rin, who was going to jump off the kitchen counter…
“Fine!,” she shouted into the receiver.
“’Fine’ for your daughter coming or ‘fine’ for playing with me?”
“Daughter. Now good bye, Takahashi-san, ” with that she hung up.
Rin ran over to her mother and latched onto her leg. ‘Thank you’ she chanted repeatedly. ‘She’ll do anything to get out of school,’ Kagura thought to herself.
Friday...
Kagura stepped into Taisho Industries with a nervous attitude. Rin was skipping merrily at her side, completely oblivious to her mother's panic. Kagura led her daughter over to her desk desk and sat her down on the chair. She went eye-to-eye with her daughter.
"I need you to stay here and behave yourself. Do you understand?"
"Hai, okaa!," Rin yelled as she saluted her mother.
"Rin-chan, this is an office. You have to keep very quiet. Okay?"
"Hai," Rin whispered.
Kagura smiled at her daughter. "Now you stay here. I have to get some more paper," Kagura said.
Rin nodded her head in the affirmative. The five-year-old girl sat in chair and waited for five seconds... A crash sounded from down the hall. Rin jumped down from the chair and followed the sound, disregarding what her mother told her. Rin crept down the long, dark hallway. At the end of the hall was a door that was cracked open. She peeked inside and saw a man with silver hair throwing darts at pottery. Rin's mouth opened slightly. She opened the door slowly and entered quietly as possible.
"what are you doing?" she asked the man.
"Throwing darts at stuff," he replied, not looking back at her. He smelt her coming and already her heard her. Judging by her scent, she was Kagura's daughter.
"Why?"
"Because I'm bored."
"Why are you bored?"
"Because there is nothing entertaining to do," he replied.
"Why isn't there?"
He turns to her for the first time. She was an adorable looking girl. "You can keep up your questions, it won't bother me. I have a little brother."
"I want a little brother," she said.
"Why?"
"Because I'm an only child."
"Why?" Not a good question to ask a child...
"Because my mommy only had one child," she answered, starting to get annoyed. How smart is this man??
"Really?," he said," you're a lucky girl."
"Why?"
"Because my otouto ha a friend and now it's like I have an otouto and an imouto(little sister)."
"Oh, what do they look like?"
"There's a picture of them on them on the desk," he said as he went back to game.
Rin walked over to the desk and scanned it for said picture. She examined the picture of the boy and girl. The girl had black hair and was on the silver-haired boy's back. It looked like they were laughing. Just then, a knock was heard. Without stopping his game, Sesshoumaru said, "Come in." Kagura stuck her head into the room.
"Sumimasen(excuse me), Takashi-san. Have you seen-" Kagura stopped when she noticed her daughter sitting at her boss's desk. She motioned for Rin to come. Rin got down from the chair and walked out of the room. "Gomen na sai(sorry), Takashi-san," she apologized for her daughter.
"It's alright, Kagura. Your daughter is very much like you. She's very curious," he said.
"Arigatou(thank you). Do I still get the raise?"
"Yeah, you get your raise. Will I see Rin tomorrow?"
"She had a dentist's appointment," Kagura lied.
"I'll take her," he insisted.
"I...you don't...fine. She'll be here," Kagura relented as she shut the door behind her.
Sesshoumaru smirked and looked at the mess on the floor. His smirk vanished. He continued to stare at it, hoping it will go away. After two minutes, he gave up and left his office for lunch. On his way out, Rin waved at him saying bye. He smiled at her and said bye back. She really was a cute kid...

"Throwing darts at stuff," he replied, not looking back at her. He smelt her coming and already her heard her. Judging by her scent, she was Kagura's daughter.
"Why?"
"Because I'm bored."
"Why are you bored?"
"Because there is nothing entertaining to do," he replied.
"Why isn't there?"
He turns to her for the first time. She was an adorable looking girl. "You can keep up your questions, it won't bother me. I have a little brother."
"I want a little brother," she said.
"Why?"
"Because I'm an only child."
"Why?" Not a good question to ask a child...
"Because my mommy only had one child," she answered, starting to get annoyed. How smart is this man??
"Really?," he said," you're a lucky girl."
"Why?"
"Because my otouto ha a friend and now it's like I have an otouto and an imouto(little sister)."
"Oh, what do they look like?"
"There's a picture of them on them on the desk," he said as he went back to game.
Rin walked over to the desk and scanned it for said picture. She examined the picture of the boy and girl. The girl had black hair and was on the silver-haired boy's back. It looked like they were laughing. Just then, a knock was heard. Without stopping his game, Sesshoumaru said, "Come in." Kagura stuck her head into the room.
"Sumimasen(excuse me), Takashi-san. Have you seen-" Kagura stopped when she noticed her daughter sitting at her boss's desk. She motioned for Rin to come. Rin got down from the chair and walked out of the room. "Gomen na sai(sorry), Takashi-san," she apologized for her daughter.
"It's alright, Kagura. Your daughter is very much like you. She's very curious," he said.
"Arigatou(thank you). Do I still get the raise?"
"Yeah, you get your raise. Will I see Rin tomorrow?"
"She had a dentist's appointment," Kagura lied.
"I'll take her," he insisted.
"I...you don't...fine. She'll be here," Kagura relented as she shut the door behind her.
Sesshoumaru smirked and looked at the mess on the floor. His smirk vanished. He continued to stare at it, hoping it will go away. After two minutes, he gave up and left his office for lunch. On his way out, Rin waved at him saying bye. He smiled at her and said bye back. She really was a cute kid...
