InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Just This Once ❯ A Meeting Goes Astray ( Chapter 5 )

*A/N: Funfun all around! *smiles* Now we get to see Sesshy jealous….hehehe….*

Sesshomaru leaned back in his leather chair, growling. That wench, running into his brother's life like that. Oblivious to him, his secretary was watching nervously as his grip around a cup of coffee tightened.

"Uh, sir…?"

Sesshomaru ignored Jaken. All his thoughts were of her. It wasn't fair! His brother never did anything useful, unless you counted the time that he had learned how to aim into the toilet, and yet he still got her! Not that he was jealous of course. Never would he, Sesshomaru be jealous. He would wait, and bide his time.

Higurashi… Obviously his brother didn't know who she was. But he did….and he would use that knowledge against his dear brother…

"Sir, your coffee!"

Unfortunately for Sesshomaru, he had not been paying attention, and in his temper, had completely crushed the cup with his bare hands. Coffee sprayed everywhere and showered him.

"Do you, um, want me to clean it up…? Sir?"

"SHUT UP YOU FROG!"

"Yes sir, right away sir…"

Tempers were flaring, the heat was rising.

God, it's hot, thought Miroku, pulling slightly at his shirt collar. He watched nervously while Kagome and her father shouted at each other.

Kagome's father, Michaleon Higurashi, used to be one of the world's most successful business men in the entire city of Tokyo, but now, he had retired leaving his entire business to his only daughter, Kagome.

"You WILL take this proposition!"

"I certainty will NOT!"

"You WILL, and under my supervision too!"

"I am NOT a little girl, I can HANDLE this by…My…SELF!"

Miroku sweatdropped. He really wasn't even supposed to be watching what was happening now; it was all business above him.

"I don't even KNOW who runs this stupid company!"

"Well, you WOULD if you had only BEEN to the MEETING this MORNING!"

Miroku flinched. He and Kagome had totally forgotten about the meeting in their haste to become better acquainted with Inuyasha and his brother.

Kagome fumed. The nerve of that man! He was her father, and her mentor in the business world, but that was still no excuse for him to arrange meeting between her and another big -time company without her consent! She didn't even know the man who ran it, Mr. Gaytoes or something like that.

"Excuse me sir, you have an appointment."

"I'm busy, can't you see? Send it to my hand."

"Er, but your client won't fit in-"

"NOT MY HAND IDIOT, I MEAN MY HAND, MY AIDE!"

"Yes sir…"

Kagome shifted in her seat nervously. In the end, her father, as usual, had won the battle, and here she was now, trying to smooth out the wrinkles on her skirt while she awaited nervously for the man…what ever his name was.

A door behind her opened and shut, and Kagome quickly turned around in her chair. A handsome (beautiful?) man stood in the doorway with a slightly dangerous smile. He pressed the door closed behind him and locked it, still wearing his smile. Kagome felt a shiver run up and down her arms. Standing up, she mentally chided herself for being childish and afraid of a man just because of his smile. Still, she thought, there was something oddly unsettling about him…

"Hey," he grinned (was it just her, or was that smile 98% teeth?), "I'm Naraku Higomin, Mr. Taigoshi's assistant. He didn't know such a beautiful woman was coming, otherwise he would have showed up in person, Ms…?"

Flushed a deep crimson, Kagome managed to answer, "Kk…kagome. Kagome Higaurashi." Naraku took her hand in his. Kagome noticed how large his veins were, clearly visible beneath his pale, almost bonewhite skin. She began wishing he would stop shaking her hand. In fact, he had stopped shaking her hands a while ago, and was now caressing her hands, stroking every fingertip. As she hurridly tried to think of how to tell him of politly, he started leaning in closer, his lips slightly parted. Her thoughts quickly changed to furiously wondering how hard she could kick him with heels on. Then she felt a hand on her butt.

She almost screamed. Go for the balls!

Just that moment, the door opened yet again, and an extremely tall fugure stepped in.

"Se...se…Sesshomaru?"

Naraku and Kagome jumped apart (Not that I've been doing anything sick, thought Kagome quickly).

What the…he thought, mind racing as his eyes darted back and forth between the two. Kagome…and Naraku?

He arched an eyebrow, an intensely complex act of emotion for him.

"Well, well, what have we here?"
