Title: I think I love you
Chapter: Two.
Name: September fourteenth.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
- Flash backs or memories -
Kagome yawned refusing to open her eyes. She patted next to her bed and then realized it was only a dream. She opened her eyes, and looked around. She was in her room. Touching the crook of her neck to feel his bite marks to make sure she he was real and their they were. They were always warmer than the rest of her body, and she could never figure out why. Looking over at the clock and sighed. "Three a.m., September fourteenth...three in the flipping morning." She said to herself and sat up and rubbed her eyes. "A dream..." Sighing as she looking around her dark room. "It was only a dream..." She repeated, before getting out of bed and walked over to the wall to flip the light switch. She looked around her room and walked to her dresser. Grabbing what she needed and then walked into the master bathroom. She looked in the mirror and sighed. In her dreams she was still that young and pretty little fifteen year old. Now, she was older. She placed her hand on her bite again and smiled at the two small little scares. It had been black and blue for a week, and now it was only a memory. She raised her hand to touch her face. she had little dark circles starting to show under her eyes which make up would hide nicely. She was far from fifteen now. Kagome undressed and looked once more in the mirror and sighed. She had never thought of herself as pretty,and even now she didn't even more at she turned on the hot water and let it warm up and then set the cool water with it to her liking. She smiled when she saw the mirror steam up and stepped into the shower.
She let the warm water rush over her body warming it up, and loosening her muscles. Closing her eyes to relax, an image of a boy had somehow became apparent. That boy. She placed a hand in front of her, on the shower wall so she could steady herself and shook her head. "Don't do this to yourself, Kagome." she said in a low murmur. She felt her eyes water and she opened them to blink the tears away. Her hand that had laid on the wall clenched into a fist, the lump in her throat got tighter and tighter as if she couldn't swallow it down. She hit the wall and grabbed for her shampoo, pouring some in her hand, and applying it to her scalp. Kagome, rubbed in vigorously in attempt to get him out of her head. Though, for some reason he would never leave her mind alone. Shutting her eyes, Kagome had a flashback of what had happened before, though it had felt like it was just a few moments ago.
...
- "Inuyasha!" a strong voice said as the bed room door was opened vigorously. Inuyasha moaned and nuzzled into his mates neck. The blankets were ripped off the two and that was what woke Inuyasha up. He was up quickly and in a protective stance in front of kagome. His eyes blaring red, before he knew it he was slapped in the back of his head.
"Stand down pup!" He heard a growl and his eyes turned back to golden. Kagome, quickly grabbed for anything around her to cover herself which happened to be one of Inuyasha's pillows.
"What in the hell are you doing!" Inuyasha snapped. "Don't you know how to knock? Why are you even here!" He yelled not bothering to cover himself as he stood up. Sesshomaru looked at him and turned around.
"Get dressed. We're leaving." he said coldly, and started to walk out of the room, but was stopped when Inuyasha grabbed his arm.
"I'm not going any where with you." Inuyasha snarled. "Why are you even here? You abandoned father a long time ago. Your not even welcome in this house hold." he reminded. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly.
"Your mother and our father are dead. Not only to me now, but you as well." he said and Inuyasha's hand dropped from his arm.
"W-what are you talking about..." He said as his voice cracked.
"You heard me! Get dressed." he said and Inuyasha scrambled to his dresser to throw on a pair of his favorite blue jeans and was quickly following Sesshomaru. he stopped in the threshold of the door and tossed kagome a look that said 'I'm sorry.' She watched him leave her. -
...
She turned the water off and slowly opened her eyes. she finally choked on that small knot in her throat and she let it out. she remember how hurt he was when he found out the entire story of his parents death. she had never seen him cry. Not once, but then again he had never anything that horrible happen to him. she sunk to the floor of the cold wet tub and hugged her knees to her chest. She placed her hands over her lips and tightly closed her eyes. 'He was so hurt...' she thought to herself and sobbed.
...
-"Inuyasha?" kagome said as she gently tapped on the bathroom door. "Inuyasha...It's kagome...Let me in...Please..." she said worriedly and heard the door unlock. she let herself in and saw him sitting on the bathroom floor. his hands were entangled in his hair and his ears were pressed flat against his head just like a puppy who had been scolded. She closed the door behind her and sat next to him. She was back into her clothes from the previous day. "Hey?" she said in a whisper and he looked at her.
"Hey..." He said back to her. She could tell he had been crying from his blood shot eyes.
"Are you okay?" she asked petting his hair. He shook his head no.
"No, kagome. I'm not okay." He said and turned his head away from her as tears started to form in his eyes. Her heart felt torn to see him like this. It was awful.
"What happened?" She asked as she started to gently rub his back.
"They were murdered." He said as his voice cracked as it had been doing and she half smiled as tears formed in her own eyes.
"How?" she asked trying to stay strong. She had know the Takahashi's since she was in diapers.
"Some one put a bomb in the plane..." He sobbed as his back now shook from the sobs that shook his small frame. Kagome's heart dropped when he
had told her and she quickly wiped away her own tears and pulled him onto her. At first he pushed her away, but then gave in. He placed his head on her chest and cried. He let it out as if he was a baby needing his mother teat for comfort. Clinging to her body he cried. She petted his hair and rubbed his back and tried not to cry herself.
"Inuyasha, I am so sorry." she said looking down at him.
Looking up at her and pulled away as he roughly wiped his tears away with the back of his arms.
"Sesshomaru is taking me to America." He said looking at her to see her eyes grow wide. "He thinks its for the best..." Kagome shook her head and then Inuyasha added. "and I do too... I will be safe there, and who ever killed mom and dad... might come after me or Sessh next." he said trying to keep from crying again.
"Your leaving?" She said in a whisper and shook her head. "No... you can't leave... were supposed to be there for each other. Inuyasha, your stuck with me forever..." tears now pored from the young girls face. "Remember...You promised!" she said as she cried. He looked at her and then away quickly.
"It's for our own safety...don't you understand..." He stated and then stood. He walked to the door and turned the handle.
"Please, Inuyasha...don't leave..." she said looking up at him, and that's when he left. He opened the door and just left. No good byes were said. Nothing. He had locked himself in his room after that. Kagome had banged on his door. Begging him to talk to her and at least say goodbye, but after an hour of screaming Sesshomaru came up stairs and walked her out. As if she had a choice to leave. He had grabbed her arm and took her from the house. He offered her a ride, but she had told him she would rather walk. That was the last day she had seen Inuyasha. she lost her best friend that day on September fourteenth, and even maybe more than that...-
...
After no more tears would come Kagome stood up and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her body as she stepped out of the shower, dried herself off and quickly dressed. Today wasn't going to be a good day. It had been seven years today. The anniversary of the last day.
Twisting her hair up into a professional bun and didn't bother with any makeup. She dressed into a navy blue button up dress shirt, and a knee length navy blue skirt. Buttoning her shirt up all the way to insure that her little mark was hidden, and checked herself once over in the mirror. Walking out of her bathroom she went into her room to put on her black flats and grab her purse. Glancing at the clock on her desk it was now five thirty. She jogged down the stairs and was out of the quiet house. It was too early for her mother or brother to be awake yet. Kagome walked out to her car and dug threw her purse for a moment to grab her key and then unlocked her car doors. She got in the car and started it to life and was off to an early start for work. That's what she did. she worked. all the time. She made sure she had no free time. Not wanting to date or go out with friends. She liked working. It kept her mind off of 'things'. Once she arrived at the tall building she smiled.
Parking in the same place she parked every day and she walked up to the locked doors. She grabbed the office key and unlocked the doors. Walking up to the elevator she pressed the button that read up and waited for the small ding that told her the doors were going to open. She stood in front of the doors as they opened and smiled when she saw an older lady walk out. she bowed and smiled. "Good morning Keade." Kagome said sweetly.
The old woman smiled back. "Oh, Kagome dear, good morning. Your here early." She said as Kagome walked into the small space. "Going up?" Keade asked.
Kagome nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I'm going to get an early start. Mr. Onigumo has a big meeting today. He needs everything ready." Kagome said as she pressed the button for the floor she needed to go to.
Keade smiled and nodded. "He sure is lucky to have you miss. Higurashi." Kagome smiled and nodded.
"And I'm lucky to have you." She said with a small laugh. "With out you I wouldn't have this great job." She said with a fake smile that she normally had to paste on her face. It was hard to be happy when you felt empty. Keade was a friend of her grandfathers and had gotten her the sectary job just last year. She was now twenty two and had her life all planned out and had not to ever worry about having to find a job. She was always welcome at Onigumo's law firm. well, at least that is what Naraku had told her so many times before.
The elevator moved upwards and stopped at level four. "This is my floor." Kagome said with a smiled and walked out of the small elevator. Turning around she bowed and waved. "Have a good day Keade."
"You too dear." the old woman replied as the door shut.
Kagome looked at the silver door and sighed. She turned on her heel and walked to her office. She shut the door behind herself and locked it. She didn't like it when people popped in. She walked over to her computer and went to work.
A knock on her door startled her and she looked at the clock, standing up from her computer chair she walked over to the door and unlocked and opened it. "Naraku!" she said happily, he nodded and walked into her office getting a little too close as he passed her. He was one of those people who just didn't have personal space issues. "I'm glad you stopped in, I was actually going to run this over to you in a few moments." She said as she backed away and walked to her desk grabbing a folder, handing it to him with a smile.
He looked at the folder. "Whats this?" He asked curiously surprised, but that was one great thing about Kagome. She was always shocking him, and one of his best workers
"It's everything you will need to know, you have that meeting at five." She looked at her watch. "It's four thirty now...so read up; It's a murder case." She said as he raised his eyebrows. "I have everything there is to know about the families and the murderer and the murdered, backgrounds, past mental instabilities, and even a small relation, check it out and see what you think." She said crossing her arms, he nodded at the folder and fingered through it.
"Kagome, thank you. Your very important to this business. What would I do with out you?" he said and walked out. "By the way, keep up the good work."
"Thank you sir. I will." she said as she watched him leave and smiled.
He creeped her out sometimes, but he was her boss and she had nothing but respect for him, he was a great lawyer. Just a little creepy was all. Turning around she started to walk up to her chair before it turned around, Kagome jumped as she then saw a woman sitting in her seat. Kagome pressed on of her hands to her chest.
"Sango!" she said irritated for being half asleep and just about got the crap scared out of her. "How...What?..How did you get in here?" She poined at the door then to Sango again flustered. Sango just smiled and stood up.
"Sorry Kagome." Sango said as she walked up to her and hugged her, "So, today you are going to get kidnapped." Sango said happily as she pulled back and smiled clapping her hands together.
"Is that so?" Kagome asked dryly.
"Yes, that is so." Sango answered happily.
"Well, your wrong. Today I'm going to start on the next project." Kagome said rolling Sango in her chair away from her desk to turn off her computer.
"New project? What would that be?" Sango asked while she inched slowly back to the desk using her legs to try and drag herself in the rolling chair only to be pushed away once more.
"I'm trying to get another sponsor." Kagome said looking over at Sango. "Naraku said that a few more little one's are all we need. It helps out the smaller companies, and makes our company look good as well. It's a win, win situation." Kagome said repeating the words from Naraku's words.
"Did you know Naraku has the hotts for you?" Kagome's eyes about bulged out of her head from the woman's words.
"No! Sango! He is my boss!" she defended and started to clean up her desk from the mess she made trying to make every thing for Naraku perfect as it could be.
"I know! That could mean some great benefits." Sango said with a lusty tone.
"Sango!" Kagome screeched as she rolled up some papers in her hand and started swatting. "You've been hanging around that leech!"
"Yeah, I really have." she said with a sexy grin. "I'm sooo glad you some how brought me to him or him to me. What ever it was I am very pleased." she said her grin growing.
"Sango please!"
"Oh, please. Just because you haven't gotten any doesn't mean I can't be happy because I have." Sango gloated, but as soon as her words escaped her mouth she regretted it. "Kagome… I didn't mean it… I'm sorry."
"No, Sango. You very much meant that, and its okay. Your right. I'm happy for you." She said as she yet again plastered a fake smile on her face and gathered some papers and held the to her chest. "I really need to get going. I have many places to visit and not very much time." With that she turned around and was out of her office and on her way to the elevator.
"Kagome?" She heard as pressed the button of an arrow facing down and turned around to the voice.
"Yes?" Turning she now placed the voice with a face. It was Naraku. Checking her watch she realized the meeting must have just gotten out.
"Oh, Mr. Onigumo! How did you meeting go? Wasn't every long... " she asked as she smiled worriedly. Wondering if maybe something had went wrong.
"It was very... Informed. I knew everything there was to know, and the client is very intent on hiring us." he said with a small glint of a smile showing.
"Oh, Naraku! that's great. I'm very happy for you." she said as she patted his arm.
"I couldn't have done it if it weren't for you. Kagome, will you join me for dinner some night? To celebrate you?" naraku asked in a calm and collected voice that he always spoke in.
"Of course. Sir, I would love to...to..to celebrate." she stuttered with a smile and a shy laugh as the elevator dinged. "Well, I need to get going. I have to stop at the supporting companies, and I need to find two or three more." she said as she entered the elevator. "Good day." she said as she waved to him as the door slowly shut.
As soon at the door shut she let out a small puff of air. "Oh geez. Sango... you might be right..." she whined as soon as she reached the bottom floor and the doors opened. Walking out she made her way outside to her car and on her way.
...
Two hours later
...
Kagome walked down the small sidewalk finding a small bench she plopped down. "I can't get any one else to support Onigumo..." She sighed. "Not one..." Whining in disappointment. She had set a goal today to just find at least one more, but no one was interested. Closing her eyes his face was all she could think about. "Oh, Inuyasha..." she sighed and stood up. Their as still more than half a day left, and some business had to be interested in sponsoring! She had made up her mind. She was not going home with out at least one more! Swinging her purse on her shoulder and she was off once more.
...
"No, were not interested." A man at the counter said as shooing her away with his hands. "Please. Leave." Kagome sighed and nodded. "Of course. Thank you very much for your time." Walking out of the small store she looked around the area. "I've been all over this block!" Pouting some more she now noticed that it was close to nine at night and all the stores were closing up for the night.
"I think its time to call it a night, too" she heard a voice say behind her. She was so use to talking to herself she didn't even realize when she agreed to it.
"Yeah, I think you right. Hey, wait." She said finally realizing it was not her voice that told her that. Turning around she was face to face with a man.
"Do I know you?" She asked tilting her head to one side.
"No, but I know you." The man said with a smile.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yes, Kagome. I'm kouga." He said with a smirk. I am one of Naraku's many rivals. You are his sectary?" he asked placing his hands in the pockets of his dark blue jeans.
"Yeah... how did you know that?" She asked folding her arms across her chest defensively.
"You've been running around all day asking my sponsors to sponsor your company." he said with a wink.
"Oh... Heh.. Yeah." She said with a small sigh. 'No wonder no one wanted to sponsor. This guy has them all.' she said to herself as she turned around to walk away. "Well, it was nice to meet you Kouga, but I must be going now." she said as she walked away and heard foot steps behind her. Turning her head slightly to see who was following her. Walking a little faster she groaned when she heard the steps quicken as well. Stopping abruptly she turned around, almost causing Kouga to ram into her.
"Is their anything else I can help you with or are you going to stalk me all the way to my home?" she asked placing her hands on her hips.
"Feisty. I like that in a woman." he said with a smirk. "Its dark out and the streets are no place for a young woman. I thought it would be a good idea to walk you back to your destination.
"Well, thanks, but no thanks. I am quite capable of taking care of myself. Thank you very much..." As her last word escaped her mouth her foot caught onto a small crack in the side walk and she stumbled just about falling onto her face if it wasn't for Kouga gabbing her around her waist and helping her steady her feet.
"Sure…" He said as he held onto her waist. "So you were saying?" He said with a grin.
Sighing she lead the way. "This way. My cars parked over there." Pointing to the small parking lot. Nodding he kept quiet the entire time as they walked. Reaching her car she unlocked the door. "Well, thank you then… I suppose. For walking me to my car." she said as he opened the door for her.
"Not a problem, Kagome." he said as he grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. Blushing she took her hand back as she got into her car shutting the door. Starting it up she noticed he was not moving, but leaning over to look into the window. Sighing she rolled the window down half way. "Kagome." He said her name with a dreamy look that almost scared her.
"Y-yes?" she asked skeptical.
"I will make you my sectary." He said confidently.
"I'm sorry Kouga, but I work for Naraku. Even you knew that." she said.
"You may work with that slime ball, but one day, mark my words. You will be mine." he said again with a smirk.
"Your sectary?" she asked with a small gulp.
Shaking his head he closed his eyes and opened them once more. His bright blue orbs stared at her and then he spoke with a soft voice.
"No. Much more. Until we meet again. My Kagome." he said and turned around to walk away. Rolling up her window she sighed.
"That was... Different..." She said as she backed up and drove back to the office.
Shuffling up to her small office room she stopped at the door. The light to the door was on. "Odd... I thought I turned that off before I left..." She said as he pushed the door open. Staring into her office that didn't look any different. Walking in she plopped down on her desks chair sighing while she kicked off her shoes and relaxed. She closed her eyes to open the quickly. "That wasn't here when I left." She said as she looked at a small card laying on her key board. Picking it up and slowly opening it she realized what it was. It was a note... From Naraku. "Thank you for all your hard work, Kagome. You are so important to this company and myself. Sincerely, Naraku." She read to herself. "Hmm... That was nice of him. Its nice to be recognized." She said with a small yawn. Laying her head on her desk she slowly closed her eyes. She just wanted to rest her eyes for a moment, but was soon sleeping.
Waking herself up from her own murmuring. She sat up. "but I don't like muffins." she said as she slowly opening her eyes and shaking her head. "Where am I?" she asked as she looked around and after a few more blinks she realized she was in her office. Looking at her small clock she saw the time. "Oh, man... I need to get home. It's after four..." she said as she stood up and about tripped over her own feet. Steadying herself she made her way to the door, down the elevator, and to her car. Shuffling to her car she slowly dug for her keys. "Where are you?" she called for them oblivious to any of her surroundings. A black car slowly drove by, but kept on driving. Looking over she shoulder she shrugged it off finding her key and getting into her car. Driving home was easy. Hardly any traffic. Every one was in their homes asleep, and that's what Kagome wanted to do too. Stopping at a stop light she looked to the side of her. "Another note?" She said as she grabbed the thin piece of paper and unfolded it. Only two words. 'Nice Nap?' A chill went up her spine.
Seeing the light turn green she gently pressed the gas and drove home. Looking over at the note she shook her head. 'Maybe it was Sango... Playing a trick on me.. Yeah..' She told herself. 'But my doors were locked...' She crumbled the note up and tossed it on the floor of her passengers seat. Heading home sweet home. Get some sleep, and start the same thing all over again. Well, so she thought.

After no more tears would come Kagome stood up and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her body as she stepped out of the shower, dried herself off and quickly dressed. Today wasn't going to be a good day. It had been seven years today. The anniversary of the last day.
Twisting her hair up into a professional bun and didn't bother with any makeup. She dressed into a navy blue button up dress shirt, and a knee length navy blue skirt. Buttoning her shirt up all the way to insure that her little mark was hidden, and checked herself once over in the mirror. Walking out of her bathroom she went into her room to put on her black flats and grab her purse. Glancing at the clock on her desk it was now five thirty. She jogged down the stairs and was out of the quiet house. It was too early for her mother or brother to be awake yet. Kagome walked out to her car and dug threw her purse for a moment to grab her key and then unlocked her car doors. She got in the car and started it to life and was off to an early start for work. That's what she did. she worked. all the time. She made sure she had no free time. Not wanting to date or go out with friends. She liked working. It kept her mind off of 'things'. Once she arrived at the tall building she smiled.
Parking in the same place she parked every day and she walked up to the locked doors. She grabbed the office key and unlocked the doors. Walking up to the elevator she pressed the button that read up and waited for the small ding that told her the doors were going to open. She stood in front of the doors as they opened and smiled when she saw an older lady walk out. she bowed and smiled. "Good morning Keade." Kagome said sweetly.
The old woman smiled back. "Oh, Kagome dear, good morning. Your here early." She said as Kagome walked into the small space. "Going up?" Keade asked.
Kagome nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I'm going to get an early start. Mr. Onigumo has a big meeting today. He needs everything ready." Kagome said as she pressed the button for the floor she needed to go to.
Keade smiled and nodded. "He sure is lucky to have you miss. Higurashi." Kagome smiled and nodded.
"And I'm lucky to have you." She said with a small laugh. "With out you I wouldn't have this great job." She said with a fake smile that she normally had to paste on her face. It was hard to be happy when you felt empty. Keade was a friend of her grandfathers and had gotten her the sectary job just last year. She was now twenty two and had her life all planned out and had not to ever worry about having to find a job. She was always welcome at Onigumo's law firm. well, at least that is what Naraku had told her so many times before.
The elevator moved upwards and stopped at level four. "This is my floor." Kagome said with a smiled and walked out of the small elevator. Turning around she bowed and waved. "Have a good day Keade."
"You too dear." the old woman replied as the door shut.
Kagome looked at the silver door and sighed. She turned on her heel and walked to her office. She shut the door behind herself and locked it. She didn't like it when people popped in. She walked over to her computer and went to work.
A knock on her door startled her and she looked at the clock, standing up from her computer chair she walked over to the door and unlocked and opened it. "Naraku!" she said happily, he nodded and walked into her office getting a little too close as he passed her. He was one of those people who just didn't have personal space issues. "I'm glad you stopped in, I was actually going to run this over to you in a few moments." She said as she backed away and walked to her desk grabbing a folder, handing it to him with a smile.
He looked at the folder. "Whats this?" He asked curiously surprised, but that was one great thing about Kagome. She was always shocking him, and one of his best workers
"It's everything you will need to know, you have that meeting at five." She looked at her watch. "It's four thirty now...so read up; It's a murder case." She said as he raised his eyebrows. "I have everything there is to know about the families and the murderer and the murdered, backgrounds, past mental instabilities, and even a small relation, check it out and see what you think." She said crossing her arms, he nodded at the folder and fingered through it.
"Kagome, thank you. Your very important to this business. What would I do with out you?" he said and walked out. "By the way, keep up the good work."
"Thank you sir. I will." she said as she watched him leave and smiled.
He creeped her out sometimes, but he was her boss and she had nothing but respect for him, he was a great lawyer. Just a little creepy was all. Turning around she started to walk up to her chair before it turned around, Kagome jumped as she then saw a woman sitting in her seat. Kagome pressed on of her hands to her chest.
"Sango!" she said irritated for being half asleep and just about got the crap scared out of her. "How...What?..How did you get in here?" She poined at the door then to Sango again flustered. Sango just smiled and stood up.
"Sorry Kagome." Sango said as she walked up to her and hugged her, "So, today you are going to get kidnapped." Sango said happily as she pulled back and smiled clapping her hands together.
"Is that so?" Kagome asked dryly.
"Yes, that is so." Sango answered happily.
"Well, your wrong. Today I'm going to start on the next project." Kagome said rolling Sango in her chair away from her desk to turn off her computer.
"New project? What would that be?" Sango asked while she inched slowly back to the desk using her legs to try and drag herself in the rolling chair only to be pushed away once more.
"I'm trying to get another sponsor." Kagome said looking over at Sango. "Naraku said that a few more little one's are all we need. It helps out the smaller companies, and makes our company look good as well. It's a win, win situation." Kagome said repeating the words from Naraku's words.
"Did you know Naraku has the hotts for you?" Kagome's eyes about bulged out of her head from the woman's words.
"No! Sango! He is my boss!" she defended and started to clean up her desk from the mess she made trying to make every thing for Naraku perfect as it could be.
"I know! That could mean some great benefits." Sango said with a lusty tone.
"Sango!" Kagome screeched as she rolled up some papers in her hand and started swatting. "You've been hanging around that leech!"
"Yeah, I really have." she said with a sexy grin. "I'm sooo glad you some how brought me to him or him to me. What ever it was I am very pleased." she said her grin growing.
"Sango please!"
"Oh, please. Just because you haven't gotten any doesn't mean I can't be happy because I have." Sango gloated, but as soon as her words escaped her mouth she regretted it. "Kagome… I didn't mean it… I'm sorry."
"No, Sango. You very much meant that, and its okay. Your right. I'm happy for you." She said as she yet again plastered a fake smile on her face and gathered some papers and held the to her chest. "I really need to get going. I have many places to visit and not very much time." With that she turned around and was out of her office and on her way to the elevator.
"Kagome?" She heard as pressed the button of an arrow facing down and turned around to the voice.
"Yes?" Turning she now placed the voice with a face. It was Naraku. Checking her watch she realized the meeting must have just gotten out.
"Oh, Mr. Onigumo! How did you meeting go? Wasn't every long... " she asked as she smiled worriedly. Wondering if maybe something had went wrong.
"It was very... Informed. I knew everything there was to know, and the client is very intent on hiring us." he said with a small glint of a smile showing.
"Oh, Naraku! that's great. I'm very happy for you." she said as she patted his arm.
"I couldn't have done it if it weren't for you. Kagome, will you join me for dinner some night? To celebrate you?" naraku asked in a calm and collected voice that he always spoke in.
"Of course. Sir, I would love to...to..to celebrate." she stuttered with a smile and a shy laugh as the elevator dinged. "Well, I need to get going. I have to stop at the supporting companies, and I need to find two or three more." she said as she entered the elevator. "Good day." she said as she waved to him as the door slowly shut.
As soon at the door shut she let out a small puff of air. "Oh geez. Sango... you might be right..." she whined as soon as she reached the bottom floor and the doors opened. Walking out she made her way outside to her car and on her way.
...
Two hours later
...
Kagome walked down the small sidewalk finding a small bench she plopped down. "I can't get any one else to support Onigumo..." She sighed. "Not one..." Whining in disappointment. She had set a goal today to just find at least one more, but no one was interested. Closing her eyes his face was all she could think about. "Oh, Inuyasha..." she sighed and stood up. Their as still more than half a day left, and some business had to be interested in sponsoring! She had made up her mind. She was not going home with out at least one more! Swinging her purse on her shoulder and she was off once more.
...
"No, were not interested." A man at the counter said as shooing her away with his hands. "Please. Leave." Kagome sighed and nodded. "Of course. Thank you very much for your time." Walking out of the small store she looked around the area. "I've been all over this block!" Pouting some more she now noticed that it was close to nine at night and all the stores were closing up for the night.
"I think its time to call it a night, too" she heard a voice say behind her. She was so use to talking to herself she didn't even realize when she agreed to it.
"Yeah, I think you right. Hey, wait." She said finally realizing it was not her voice that told her that. Turning around she was face to face with a man.
"Do I know you?" She asked tilting her head to one side.
"No, but I know you." The man said with a smile.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yes, Kagome. I'm kouga." He said with a smirk. I am one of Naraku's many rivals. You are his sectary?" he asked placing his hands in the pockets of his dark blue jeans.
"Yeah... how did you know that?" She asked folding her arms across her chest defensively.
"You've been running around all day asking my sponsors to sponsor your company." he said with a wink.
"Oh... Heh.. Yeah." She said with a small sigh. 'No wonder no one wanted to sponsor. This guy has them all.' she said to herself as she turned around to walk away. "Well, it was nice to meet you Kouga, but I must be going now." she said as she walked away and heard foot steps behind her. Turning her head slightly to see who was following her. Walking a little faster she groaned when she heard the steps quicken as well. Stopping abruptly she turned around, almost causing Kouga to ram into her.
"Is their anything else I can help you with or are you going to stalk me all the way to my home?" she asked placing her hands on her hips.
"Feisty. I like that in a woman." he said with a smirk. "Its dark out and the streets are no place for a young woman. I thought it would be a good idea to walk you back to your destination.
"Well, thanks, but no thanks. I am quite capable of taking care of myself. Thank you very much..." As her last word escaped her mouth her foot caught onto a small crack in the side walk and she stumbled just about falling onto her face if it wasn't for Kouga gabbing her around her waist and helping her steady her feet.
"Sure…" He said as he held onto her waist. "So you were saying?" He said with a grin.
Sighing she lead the way. "This way. My cars parked over there." Pointing to the small parking lot. Nodding he kept quiet the entire time as they walked. Reaching her car she unlocked the door. "Well, thank you then… I suppose. For walking me to my car." she said as he opened the door for her.
"Not a problem, Kagome." he said as he grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. Blushing she took her hand back as she got into her car shutting the door. Starting it up she noticed he was not moving, but leaning over to look into the window. Sighing she rolled the window down half way. "Kagome." He said her name with a dreamy look that almost scared her.
"Y-yes?" she asked skeptical.
"I will make you my sectary." He said confidently.
"I'm sorry Kouga, but I work for Naraku. Even you knew that." she said.
"You may work with that slime ball, but one day, mark my words. You will be mine." he said again with a smirk.
"Your sectary?" she asked with a small gulp.
Shaking his head he closed his eyes and opened them once more. His bright blue orbs stared at her and then he spoke with a soft voice.
"No. Much more. Until we meet again. My Kagome." he said and turned around to walk away. Rolling up her window she sighed.
"That was... Different..." She said as she backed up and drove back to the office.
Shuffling up to her small office room she stopped at the door. The light to the door was on. "Odd... I thought I turned that off before I left..." She said as he pushed the door open. Staring into her office that didn't look any different. Walking in she plopped down on her desks chair sighing while she kicked off her shoes and relaxed. She closed her eyes to open the quickly. "That wasn't here when I left." She said as she looked at a small card laying on her key board. Picking it up and slowly opening it she realized what it was. It was a note... From Naraku. "Thank you for all your hard work, Kagome. You are so important to this company and myself. Sincerely, Naraku." She read to herself. "Hmm... That was nice of him. Its nice to be recognized." She said with a small yawn. Laying her head on her desk she slowly closed her eyes. She just wanted to rest her eyes for a moment, but was soon sleeping.
Waking herself up from her own murmuring. She sat up. "but I don't like muffins." she said as she slowly opening her eyes and shaking her head. "Where am I?" she asked as she looked around and after a few more blinks she realized she was in her office. Looking at her small clock she saw the time. "Oh, man... I need to get home. It's after four..." she said as she stood up and about tripped over her own feet. Steadying herself she made her way to the door, down the elevator, and to her car. Shuffling to her car she slowly dug for her keys. "Where are you?" she called for them oblivious to any of her surroundings. A black car slowly drove by, but kept on driving. Looking over she shoulder she shrugged it off finding her key and getting into her car. Driving home was easy. Hardly any traffic. Every one was in their homes asleep, and that's what Kagome wanted to do too. Stopping at a stop light she looked to the side of her. "Another note?" She said as she grabbed the thin piece of paper and unfolded it. Only two words. 'Nice Nap?' A chill went up her spine.
Seeing the light turn green she gently pressed the gas and drove home. Looking over at the note she shook her head. 'Maybe it was Sango... Playing a trick on me.. Yeah..' She told herself. 'But my doors were locked...' She crumbled the note up and tossed it on the floor of her passengers seat. Heading home sweet home. Get some sleep, and start the same thing all over again. Well, so she thought.
