Kagome currently sat on her rear trying to analyze what had just happened. Her mind had blanked out, blacked out much like the elevator. Thoughts ran wild through her already confused and stressed head.
W-what? Was the only coherent thing she could form in her confused mind. She stayed there on her butt not moving. How long she had sat there she didn't know. Her eyes were glassy and unfocused for that moment. Then her poor little shocked brain registered the events. Kagome jumped to her feet like something had burned her rear.
“You must be joking! Yes this is just a huge joke.” She mumbled to herself. She laughed nervously at the unfunny situation she currently found herself in. Her laughter became frightening, like a maniac's evil laughter at drowning a puppy. Slowly it died down as her throat tighten almost painfully. She wasn't finding this situation too funny anymore. Kagome was panicking and she knew it. She just should have stayed in her nice warm and comfortable bed. It would have been much better.
 
She began to hyperventilate, her panic taking over. I'm trapped in an elevator. A little small box. She took a deep breath. Calm down Kagome. Calm down. She tried to calm herself. She took the two paces that was currently separating her and the control panel of the elevator. She pushed the alarm switch, nothing, absolutely nothing happened. She tried again, again nothing. Now that wasn't a good thing. Kagome went straight into a worse panic. She pushed switch after switch frantically. The elevator didn't move. The alarm stayed off. She was screwed.
 
“Help! The elevator is stuck! Please help!” Kagome screamed in a full panic.
 
Out of the corner of her eyes she saw movement behind her. A hand grabbed her little soft one that was pounding on the metal door. She yelped, almost jumping out of her skin at his touch. She turned around, her hand still trapped in a vice like grip coming face to face with the cold and bored golden eyes. Her mind finally clicked, she wasn't alone in the elevator. How she had forgotten the oppressing presence of the man, she didn't know. Arrogant youkai, she corrected herself mentally. He wasn't someone you could forget that easily. She shook her head and only now saw that he hadn't released her hand.
 
“Can I have my hand back now?” She asked.

Sesshoumaru looked at the young human woman out of the corner of his eye as she walked into the elevator. Now he was looking down at her at his feet where she had fallen. No, he wasn't looking, he was glaring. For the umph-th time today he was damning himself for saying it couldn't be worse. That was one sentence you knew that when it left your lips, the day would get worse. When the elevator stopped, rather violently, it sent the woman crashing to her rear at his feet most unceremoniously. He almost did something worthy of this worthless uncultured brother, he almost cursed aloud.
 
He looked at her when she came out of her trance like phase, jumping to her feet and starting francially hitting the control panel and door, screaming at the top of her lungs for help, he snapped. That wasn't helping his already throbbing headache. Again, why me? He thought. After all he'd gone through already that day, why did he have to be trapped in an elevator with a crazy human wench. Great, just great absolutely lovely. He growled to himself. He caught her hand seeing her distastefully jump, yelping in surprise. Honestly what did I do to merit this predicament? Really?
 
She asked for her hand but he ignored her demand, glaring at her.
 
“Stop screaming and hitting the door woman. It will do no more then worsen my headache.” He said looking at her with boredom. He saw in her blue eyes the surprise and he smelt the fear that was slowly being overtaken by anger.

Kagome couldn't believe this jerk. She yes she'd forgotten him in her moment of panic but he didn't have to be so rude. Quite surprisingly she had forgotten that this fine male specimen was even in there. She growled to herself, fine specimen but he was still a huge arrogant jerk. Her screaming and hoping someone would hear her wasn't foolish, but apparently he still felt the need to be condescending towards her. She glared back at him. He raised his eyebrow in question, even as his face stayed as impassible as before, at her sudden change in emotion.
 
She was preparing herself to yell at him, but in the last moment, she stopped herself. It was futile and she knew it. She looked up at him, looking into his mesmerizing golden depths. All her anger vanished in what seemed like a blink, leaving her tired. She sighed.
 
“I'm sorry. I just panicked I suppose.” She said tiredly.
 
He released her, still slightly shocked by the rapid change of mood in his companion of misfortune. Without a word, he'd released her. The elegant youkai walked back to where he was standing a few moments ago, sat down, his back against the elevator's wall facing the door.
 
Kagome looked at him, dumbfound. How can he be so calmed ? She was definitely jealous. It was not fair. She took several deep breathes : if he could stay calm then so was she, she said to herself stubbornly. So she walked and sat down against another wall, perpendicular to the youkai in the Armani suit, trapped with her. She reached for her suitcase and handbag that had fallen in her surprise previously. She remained silent for a bit, pondering if she should break the heavy silence.
 
“Do you think it will take long before they answer our call and release us?”
 
She was met by nothing. Figures. If he wanted to ignore her, then she would ignore him back. It was childish but hey he started it !
They stayed like that for a long while. All that could be heard was their breathing, nothing else. She was currently sitting on her knee on the hard floor without moving. However, now, after so long in the same position, her legs was starting to fell asleep and hurt. The problem was that the box of the elevator wasn't really large and the other occupant was pretty tall and in their current position, even with her petite form, she couldn't hold out her legs in front of her to stretch her muscles. Not with him in the middle of the elevator, she couldn't do it.
 
“Do you know how long we have been in here?” Kagome asked. Her answer was nothing. “Can you tell me what time it is please?” She asked. Still nothing. He was really taping on her nerves. Really getting on them. He was there, eyes closed, unmoving and ignoring her for hours. How could he do that?
 
She sighed, mumbling under her breath about 'arrogant youkai that assumes they were better than anyone.' She reached into her bag to find her portable. Even if she wasn't capturing a signal inside this metal box, she could at least know what time it was. After a little campaign of speleology in her bottomless bag, she found it, yelling 'Ah Ha!' happily. However when she saw the screen, her smile vanished. They had been trapped for the last hour. What was help doing? She whimpered. Would someone could to their rescue?
 
…………..
 
 
Time continued to pass and they were still in that evil box. Kagome sighed deeply. She slipped out of her shoes and moved so she was now hugging her legs, ideas of modesty really away from her mind at the moment.
 
“I missed my interview now.” She whispered to herself.
 
That caught his attention. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Was she there for the job interview to be his personal assistant? He though and eyed her by the corner of his eyes, strutting.
 
Sensing his gaze on her, she turned her head to look at him with her bright curious blue eyes. However, nothing but boredom was showing on his beautiful pale face. She cocked her head on one side and spoke quietly.
 
“Are you working in this building?” She asked cautiously.
 
Again nothing. She narrowed her eyes at him but tried to stay calm. He was an ass, and she will prove that she has more manners than the prick, the powerful and beautiful demon prick. That was a detail she couldn't forget. His youki was so great that she was struggling to keep her miko powers in stake. His powers were brushing her skin, sending involontar shivers down her spine. Never did she felt so powerful youkai before. Kaede was right, there were quite remarkable youkai in the building, but he was still a jerk because she was still waiting for his answer. She was fuming inside but continue to speak to him.
 
"I asked that because I was suppose to have an interview for this job application this afternoon. But I lost everything." She mumbled quietly.
………
 
Sesshomaru stayed silent.So he was right, she was there for the job. A humanbut his muses were interrupted again by her sweet voice.
 
"Someone that is really close to me, like an aunt really, is working as a secretary here. Perhaps you know her? Kaede?" Kagome asked.
 
So it is the old Miko niece. He heard so much good about her, and because he had nothing else to entertainment himself with. May be he will indulge himself and gift her with the privilege of his attention. It wasn't at all because he was curious, or he cared, none of that at all of course. So he spoke for the first time.
 
“Were you not supposed to stay in the room to wait until your turn or were you late?” He said with his characteristic smooth voice. At first, Kagome was shocked. He was speaking to her. And his voice… it was a sin in itself. But she caught herself in time before she let appear something she would surely regret. The only clue of his effect on her was a really light pink coloring her cheeks.
 
“No-no I was on time.” She said with a huff. “But I was extremely nervous about the interview and I had some...difficulties staying in the room with the other women.” She said with a half growl. He raised an eyebrow in inquiry. She bit her bottom lip, attiring immediately his cold intimidating gaze on the offended appendage for a second. He knew she was burning to tell him why she couldn't stay in the room. He could feel it. He was slightly curious now, he had to admit.
Just by the weight of his eyes and the raised eyebrow, Kagome could not longer take it and had to tell him.
 
“Okay okay! But you can not speak this to anyone. I mean, I don't care what they think but I don't want to have any problems with anyone.” She said. She was met by silence and took it as consent. “I just couldn't stand to stay in there. I think if I had stayed in that room one more minute, I would have purified one or more of those...women.” She said a hint of disgust in her voice. Again his eyebrow raised in question. He was slightly amused by her reaction to his gaze. She couldn't take much pressure and he wasn't doing anything but gazing at her. She cracked and started at an almost scream.
“They were just bitches! And, and I speak about the human meaning of the word. Just whores, sluts even. You know what I mean?” She asked.
Sesshoumaru couldn't stop himself, which was truly rare, him the master of self-control, he chuckled. She was just too adorable in her innocent way. That wasn't as shocking to think that about her, as he would have thought.
“I perfectly understand what you mean.” He answered. After all he was the one who had to deal with their advances towards him. She looked relieved that he wasn't thinking low of her due to this. And so she continued more freely.
 
“I thought I would have thrown up, kill one or two or myself if I had stayed longer.” She flushed slightly, exciting the curiosity and amusement of the youkai before her. “They were just speaking about … s-sex and all the things they would enjoy doing to Mr. Takahashi for the job. From what I heard, not one had a degree. They were just youkai female whores in heat! They were driving me crazy. Not to mention I was the only human there!” Kagome finished. If it had been Sesshoumaru's style he would have laughed at her reaction. She was really too much.
 
She cocked her head to the side, her cheeks a delicious pink. “You are working in this building right?” She asked again.
 
“Indeed.” He answered, not reveling his identity. He was not surprised to hear the comportment of the women here for the job.
 
“Does...Does Mr. Takahashi have..pr-problems with humans?” She asked sheepishly. Sesshoumaru was taken back by her question but said nothing and let her speak her mind. “I don't want to be disrespectful or anything. Its just...I was the only human in that room for the job. Kaede tried to reassure me with the fact Mr. Takahashi wasn't someone to succumb to the bitches games. That he want, he truly wanted was a real assistant and not a slut to warm his bed. I must admit I was afraid when I saw all those diploma-less, whorish women.” She blushed slightly. “They told me a human like me hadn't a chance in hell to have this job against them. But of course, Aunt Kaede said to tune them out. That even if he was a little cold, Mr. Takahashi was an honorable man..err youkai.” Kagome finished.
 
She took her legs higher and closer to her, resting her chin on her knees. Her skirt was riding really high exposing even more of her beautiful legs to the piercing golden eyes of Sesshoumaru. After a few moments time alone with the onna, he could tell that it was totally innocent of her part. She wasn't aware of the fact her current position could effect any normal constituted male. So, being the gentleman he was he didn't say anything and enjoyed the spectacle. He cleared his throat before he spoke.
 
“I believe Kaede is right. Takahashi would not discriminate against you for being both a human and a miko. His personal conviction isn't important, just your qualifications count.” He said. Kagome looked up at him like a child who had been awarded the gift of her life on Christmas Day. Her innocence surprised him.
 
“Thank You.” She said softly. A few moments of silence passed. “By the way, I'm Higurashi Kagome.”
 
She looked at him expectantly. He knew what she was waiting for. For him to say his name in counterpart. But the idea of her knowing the fact he was Takahashi, the youkai she had come to see, would only set her nerves off again. She didn't recognize him, so he played along, partly.
 
“Sesshoumaru.” He answered.
 
She smiled at him. Maybe he wasn't that bad after all. She had a real genuite smile like he never saw before. Not surprising with the circle graviting around him. It was like the entire box lit up as her face. He was surprised to not be disturbed by her humanity. He didn't really like humans. He though them beneath him in a way. There were really few humans that he respected and the `aunt' of the young woman imprisoned with him, was one of them.
 
“Nice to meet you Sesshoumaru.” She said softly, her smile still in place.
 
No she didn't react at his name, so he was safe. He didn't need a crazy woman jumping on him in this restrictive place like a man in the desert in front of a bottle of water. Even if he doubted that she was the type. Better safe than sorry. He nodded in response.
 
“So you didn't answer my previous question. Are you working here? You seem to.” She asked.
 
“I am.” He answered.
 
“Where do you work?” She asked.
 
“Fifteenth floor.” He answered.
 
Oh so you are working with Takahashi-sama? Do you know him well?” She asked.
 
“Hn.” Not knowing how to answer the girl's question without lying he stayed silent. Lying was beneath him.
 
“Hm, okay.” She said quietly.
 
Sesshomaru then froze mentally : Wait a second. Why was he responding at all her questions in the first place ?
