She was sleeping peacefully on her bed after a night of total tiredness, she knew she shouldn't have gone clubbing but she didn't hear her inner side. Instead she was eager to celebrate her knew position and her boyfriend seemed to think the same. As her mind rested calmly within her sleep, she was not aware that soon someone will break her peace. It was about 10 am when the buzz of her favorite song coming from her cell phone dared to break her sleep and brought her back from dreamland to the real world. She did her best to ignore the annoying sound; she wanted to keep sleeping for a few more minutes or at least for another hour. The ringing on her ear was unstoppable and whoever was calling apparently wasn't going to give up that easily, she pulled away the pillow that covered her face and while her eyes kept on closed she tried to reach her phone. Once she managed to throw off the things on top of her night table like her alarm clock or her precious picture with her adorable boyfriend, she finally reached her cell phone and noticed it was him who was calling. She yawned and rubbed her left eye while she made her best to remain awake, when she heard the voice of her boyfriend, she smiled.

“Rise and shine babe” he said and she giggled lightly.

“Thanks sweetie but I have an alarm clock, you should know you gave it to me!” she laughed a little and she could feel him smiling.

“But since I know you too well, it must be on the floor and not activated...” she looked down to the floor, of course he was right; he knew everything about her.

“Not true…” she said.

“Right…don’t lie to me Kagome, it’s true and you might as well miss your first day at work and get fired” she got out of her warm bed and headed to the shower.

“Don't jinx me!” she half pleaded, half told him.

“I'm not, I'm just telling you your future if only I haven't called you now...” she stuck out her tongue.

“Oh! Thank you great master for helping me… unfortunately, I’m big and I know how to wake up and get to work in time” he laughed.

“You’re welcome now rise and shine babe, it's time to show your amazing cooking abilities to the world” with that she hung up and smiled while she entered to the hot steamy water of her shower.

Kagome Higurashi was described by men as the only woman they would want to marry, she was described by women who didn't know her as pure beauty and no brains, but she was beyond that. Kagome had successfully completed her studies in high school but was not able to think another job for her than the world of cooking. She graduated as a chef and was now hired at one of the most prestigious restaurants in town called 'Shikon Cooking'. At the age of 23 it was her second real job since working for her mother's friend at his cafeteria wasn't really what she would call working. She stepped out of the shower and dressed with something dark in case she got some sauce or any other kind of food stained in her clothes, Kagome picked a dark magenta long sleeves shirt with a v neck, she got dark tight pants and got her favorite black and white low heels shoes. Kagome grabbed her purse along with her apartment keys and car keys to leave to her new work place. She drove slowly over to the place, thanks to her boyfriend's call she now had enough time to get there in time. At the corner of one of the biggest industries in her town, there was settled the marvelous restaurant. She let out a nervous sigh before she entered the place. Kagome was fascinated with it by the first look; it was a harmonious place with dark red and light orange walls. The tables were decorated with black and red table cloth along with white origami folded napkins, in transparent flower vases purple orchids lay on top of the table next to a small candle. The curtains of the place let a few rays of sunshine hit the restaurant and made it look like the perfect place for a quiet evening.

“Hi, you must be Miss Higurashi” a man with white silver hair greeted her; she immediately plastered a smile and offered her hand.

“Yes, I'm Kagome Higurashi... you must be Mister Takashi” he nodded and she saw the delicate color of his golden eyes; she somehow knew that he was a very peaceful and frigid man or at least he looked like one.

“Call me Sesshomaru, now Miss Higurashi... since there's no need for formalities, may I call you Kagome?” she nodded and he gave her a very quick smile. “As you may know I hired you to be one of our chefs at this restaurant, of course you may have to cook with other people and since you are not familiar with the style of food we prepare here you might need some counseling from them, will that be an inconvenience?” she shook her head. “Great, welcome to 'Shikon Cooking' Kagome, follow me to the kitchen to meet your co-workers”

Kagome followed him to the kitchen which was not far away from where they were standing; he pushed a white door with one circled window and made their way to the kitchen. Kagome saw two girls and two men back there, they were with white aprons and their hair well pulled up. She took a close look of each one of them with one look and taking 4 different conclusions: evil, friendly, handsome, calm.

“These are the people with whom you will be spending your time with, meet Yura...” the girl who she had thought as evil gave her a small smile along with a wave of her hand. “Sango” the friendly girl smiled at her. “Miroku” the only man she found handsome winked at her, she slightly blushed. “Hojo...” the man mumbled something she thought it was 'hello' and vowed his head. “And…” he froze and went next to Miroku, he lowered his voice. “Where the hell is he?!”

“I called to his cell phone three times Sess, I can't reach him” Miroku whispered and he seemed to lose his patience.

“Try to reach him and once you do, tell him that if he doesn’t shows up in 5, I’ll kill him” Miroku nodded. “Alright, I guess you'll meet the top chef later today... but after he returns from the hospital” he mumbled the last time and made his exit, the four chefs in the room studied her as if she was some sort of weird insect.

“What's your name?” Sango finally asked and she smiled nervously.

“Sorry, where are my manners? My name is Kagome... nice to meet you all” she said as she saw Miroku approaching her.

“Will you bear mi child?” Kagome almost choke before Sango came and smacked him at the back of his head.

“Knock it off you asshole, she's married... look the ring” she pointed at her left hand and he saw a shiny piece of rock attached to her hand.

“Oh, I'm not married... well, at least not yet” Sango nodded as she smiled.

“You're engaged! How cute! Congrats, when are you marrying him?”

“Thanks; I don't know, we still haven't settled the date” she looked at the ring and let out a dreamily sigh. “So… are you guys married?”

“Thank god no! I don’t know what I would do with this jerk as my husband” Sango pointed at Miroku and Kagome laughed.

“No, I didn’t mean to each other…” Sango shook her head.

“The only man I would want to marry is Inuyasha…” Yura said and Hojo chuckled.

“Why? You have me” she looked at him and faked a smile.

“Sure…”Yura rolled her eyes and sat on top of the table.

“So Kagome… how long do you plan to be working here?” Kagome thought about it but she couldn’t give her answer since the sound of the door opening interrupted her thoughts.

“Well, well, well... seems like we got fresh meat” they all looked back at the man from where that comment came from.

Kagome looked back at the rude yet completely handsome who had let out those awful comments. She was very amazed by the similarities he shared with the man she had encountered when she had first entered the restaurant, although somehow Kagome thought he was even more attractive than Sesshomaru. The man had the same golden orbs but his eyes were bigger and he made them look better, he also had the same color of white silver in his hair but she thought it shone more than Sesshomaru. He was better built and that white T-shirt with the rolled up sleeves suit him perfectly, it let her have a view of his muscled arms. The piece of clothing over his body did nothing to hide his great developed abs, when she was done checking him out Kagome looked up at him.

“Hi, you must be...”

“Whatever sweetheart, Melons you should be preparing the spinach soup...” Yura placed her hands on her hips and tsked.

“Inuyasha, costumers aren't even here” he put his finger on his chin as he pretended to be thinking.

“Hm... let's see, I ordered you to prepare that before you left last night because we both know how much it sells but no you have to leave because you wanted the club to show everyone in there your goodies once again, now... do you want me to tell Sesshomaru that you disobeyed my orders again or will you just do what I say?” she sighed and rolled her eyes.

“You're lucky you're too damn sexy” he smirked victorious and she gave him a flirtatious look.

“AMP did you tell Sess about your little escapade last night?” Sango rolled her eyes and sighed.

“What do you want me to do?” she gritted between her teeth and pulled out from the fridge a plate with meat and placed it in front of her. “No way, my turn to cut meat is on Tuesday, today is your turn!”

“Do you really want Sess to know about what happened last night?” she clenched her fists and let out an angry groan. “You're smart AMP I like that about you...”

“Um… hey… um…” Kagome said but Inuyasha just ignored her while he made his way over to Miroku and Hojo. “Perverted asshole and dense boy, you two do my part while I go get myself some breakfast...” Kagome watched him leave and everyone started giving him curses.

“What was that?” Kagome asked and Sango groaned.

“That monster with no feelings is called Inuyasha...” she answered and Kagome nodded.

“And... the nicknames?” Miroku smiled.

“You see, Inuyasha likes to name us after the first thing he sees... when he first saw Yura well he thought of...” Sango slapped him before he could finish the sentence. “I was going to say her large amount of breasts” that earned him another slap.

“What does AMP stand for?” she asked.

“Anger Management Problems” they all answered except for Sango who was too busy cursing Inuyasha.

“Perverted asshole and dense boy?”

"Believe it or not, Inuyasha didn't come up with the first one... Sango gave it to him after he grabbed his ass while she flipping chicken meat on her pan” Yura laughed as she told the story. “Miroku had a black eye for a week... as to dense boy, you'll find out why”

Kagome receiving the new information tried to picture Inuyasha as the monster they all seemed to hate but she wasn't able to picture him like that because his beauty was distracting her. 'What am I thinking? I'm engaged to a completely wonderful man and here I am getting distracted by an idiot who is just good looking... I should be hitting myself, I should be hating him like everyone else not falling for him!' she thought and heard the kitchen door opening again. She saw Sesshomaru pushing Inuyasha inside.

“I don't pay you so you can go away and do whatever you want!” he said and Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he walked in.

“Yeah sure... you done guys?” he asked as he went to grab his apron. “Melons?”

“The potatoes are just cooking, how am I supposed to make the spinach food if the potatoes are not ready?”” he laughed.

“Jesus Melons, did I touched a nerve or is it your PMS?” he smirked while Yura rolled her eyes, he walked next to Sango.

“AMP, you're cutting it too thick... it won't be able to cook well” she stabbed the knife in the meat and looked at him.

“Well maybe they will like it half broiled!” she yelled and he smiled.

“Cut it thinner, by the way since you just screwed up you’ll have to cut it the next time it’s my turn” he finished and she was about to hit him when Miroku grabbed her. “Don't even bother perverted asshole; she will get fired if she dares to touch me”

“I doubt Sesshomaru cares about you that much” she mumbled while she pushed Miroku away from her.

“I even doubt Sesshomaru wants him working for him… if they only weren’t family” he sighed.

“Dense boy, you go over to the fridge grab some steak and defreeze it... costumers are just arriving, the waitress might come in soon asking for the food” he nodded and he walked over to Kagome. “You must be the new girl...”

“Yeah… my name’s…” he placed his hand over her mouth.

“Oh, very interesting indeed… unfortunately I don’t give a fuck, so just answer my question” she pulled away his hand furiously.

“Yes, I’m the new girl” he nodded and smiled arrogantly.

“Do you know how to cook?” she rolled her eyes.

“Don't you think that if I didn't Sesshomaru wouldn't have hired me?” he half smiled and shook his head.

“My brother is an idiot, I doubt he knew what he was doing when he hired you... he might be on crack” he opened the fridge and pulled out a large bucket filled with broccoli. “Here, cut this and come again when you prove to me that you have some knowledge about cooking”

Inuyasha was about to walk out the kitchen when he felt someone grabbing his apron from behind. When he looked back, he was surprised to find the annoying new girl behind him looking at him very angrily.

“Excuse me, I already gave you orders… what do you think you’re doing?” he asked and he pulled her hand away from him.

“Before you go out to behave like the real imbecile you are, you might want to assign me a real job… I wasn't hired to stand here and watch everyone else cook some real food” he arched his brow and let out a chuckle.

"Girl, how old are you?" he asked.

"23"

"Okay... I'm 27 and you should learn to treat me with some respect, I'm the top chef here and if I decide that you will go on your first day of work... trust me, it will be the last word and no weeping to Sesshomaru will make a difference, now leave me alone" he walked away from her when he heard her talking.

"Well if you're top chef here then maybe you should act like one!" she yelled and everyone eyed her amazed.

"She's very brave" Sango whispered to Miroku and he nodded.

"Yeah... she's also stupid and very pretty" she smacked him and he let out a soft ouch.

"You know what girl?" she looked at him mad.

"What?!" he walked next to her and whispered on her ear.

"You have beautiful eyes" her anger went away and he walked out of the kitchen while she was still surprised by his words.

Kagome wasn’t able to move or to talk; his words have made her shut up and caused a pink color on her cheeks. ‘Did he just… he just said I have pretty eyes?’ she asked herself and let a small smile slip her lips. Sango’s voice brought her back from the world that Inuyasha had taken her to.

“What did he say?” she asked intrigued and Kagome shook her head slightly.

“He… he just told me to shut up” she said.
