Life Falters

Chapter 2

* Interview *

 

 

Normally, Kagome woke up at seven o'clock but today was an exception. She had no desire whatsoever to get out of bed. Kagome you lazy ass, get up. She berated herself in her head. Struggling with the covers, she groaned in annoyance when she carelessly got wrapped up in them instead. Unconsciously, she tumbled towards the bathroom and untangled herself. Ahh, hot water is a gift from god. She thought as she lathered shampoo on her hair. After what she humorously called self-spa, she dressed in the black slacks and the mint green polo that she had positioned on the arm chair. Sliding into her two-inch heels, she grabbed her car keys and made her way to her interview.

 

Taisho Inc. imposingly towered the buildings surrounding it, but Kagome decided to be brave and walked towards the opaque, glass doors.

 

“Hello Kagome, you here for Sango?” A smiling young woman sitting behind the reception counter inquired.

 

“Actually I'm not; I'm here for an appointment with Inuyasha. He posted an ad in the newspaper and I'm here now for it. Am I allowed to go up there now?”

 

“Yeah, go right ahead, you remember it's the eighteenth floor.”

 

“Thanks Rin. I'll see you around.”

 

Kagome entered the elevator and punched in the 18 number on the pad, and rode it up to his floor. This doesn't look like an office; it's more of a complex. A really nice complex. Kagome thought as she surveyed the room.

 

“Kagome,” squealed Sango. Grinning Kagome opened her arms aware of the hug she was about to receive.

 

“All right, can't breathe.” Kagome joked. Sango pulled away and smiled at her friend.

 

“Geez, Kagome you look HOT!” Sango joked, and Kagome rolled her eyes but blushed.

 

“Don't I always?” She replied flippantly and Sango laughed.

 

“Inuyasha has been talking about you all morning, make him shut up. I don't know if I can handle when my boss has taken a liking to my best friend.” Sango stated with a pout.

 

“Well, who knows? I don't know if I can make him stop talking about me when we're going to be talking about his place and the arrangements. Now if you please I have to go get a beating from Inuyasha for being late.” Kagome laughed stepping away from her friend.

 

“Wow, I didn't know that you had a good sense of humor.” Inuyasha grinned.

 

“You got me.” Kagome smiled back.

 

“Well, Sango we'll be in here. You'll see your friend in an hour.” Inuyasha remarked while grabbing a hold of Kagome's elbow and maneuvering both of them into his office.

 

“Don't you dare harm her in any way or form, and you'll answer to me. I know where you live.” Sango yelled at the closed door. Sighing, she sat back at the desk and started to type. Getting nosy, Sango pressed her ear against the door and listened in to the conversation.

 

Inside the office, Inuyasha reclined in his arm chair, and waited for Kagome to take a seat so that they could talk.

 

“Please, I'm not in a hurry here. Take as long as you need.” Inuyasha joshed her.

 

“Oh, don't worry I won't take up most of your time.” Kagome chimed in playing the game of jester.” Kagome took in the atmosphere, and sat down on the sofa.

 

“Now, let's get down to business. What exactly do you want me to do at your place?” Kagome requested.

 

“Well, for starters I want you to clean the house for me. You can do anything you want, just clean after yourself. And of course when I leave Friday to construct on this new building I'll stop by every once in a while to see how you're doing.” He responded.

 

“How much are you willing to pay me?”

 

“How much do you want?”

 

“A week?”

 

“Well, I was thinking bi-weekly, but I can pay you weekly if you want.”

 

“How about 175 each week?” Kagome inquired.

 

“That sounds decent. And of course I'll give you seventy a week for groceries. Is that fair enough?”

 

“Yeah, that's fine. When do you want me to move in?”

 

“Whenever it is convenient for you.”

 

“Would it be alright if I could move in today?” Kagome asked hopefully. She was eager to escape the dump she calls her apartment.

 

“Well you could, but I won't be leaving till Friday, you think you can handle a room mate till then?”

 

“I don't care, I just want to move out of my apartment and the sooner I can leave, the sooner I can be finished with this damn story I'm writing. I'll cook dinner for you tonight.”

 

“Okay, you're cooking dinner… is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think I'm frightened to know the answer.”

 

“Oh, don't worry Inuyasha, I'm a good cook. Thank you so much again for letting me move in today, you won't regret it.” Kagome smiled.

 

“I think there isn't anything to regret is there Kagome?” Inuyasha seductively commented and Kagome raised her brow.

 

“Mr. Taisho. I don't like that gleam in your eyes and I don't appreciate the seduction. Your games won't work on me.” She stated coldly.

 

“Fine, I'll be expecting dinner tonight. Oh and before I forget, here's the address of the house. You'll need to move everything you have into the room. I'll tell Miroku where you're gonna room. He'll help you there.” Inuyasha handed Kagome a piece of paper and a wad of money that she assumed was going to be for the groceries.

 

“Thank you.” Kagome got up from the sofa and was heading towards the door when Inuyasha cut her off.

 

“Please move Mr. Taisho, I'd like to leave.”

 

“Oh, quit with the fucking formality.” Inuyasha bit out getting frustrated by the minute. Just last night she was fucking flirting with me and now what the fuck is going on? Inuyasha as mad as ever, pushed Kagome against the wall and pressed his body against hers. His mouth met hers with eagerness.

 

Her arms by her side, Kagome couldn't do anything. She stood motionless until Inuyasha bit down on her lower lip. Her hands escaped the prison of his arms and stroked through his hair. Inuyasha angled his head and deepened the kiss. Kagome moaned into it. Their tongues battling for dominance. Inuyasha sucked on her bottom lip this time and broke away for lack of oxygen.

 

“I think we're both going to enjoy the company.” Inuyasha said coolly.

 

While Kagome composed herself, Inuyasha walked back to his desk and resumed his work. Kagome walked toward the door and this time Inuyasha didn't hold her back. Kagome glanced back and she saw him looking at some blue prints.

 

She knew that he is striving to be the greatest architecture, just as he knew that she wants to be the best writer that she can be. As Kagome motioned for the door, Inuyasha muttered something inaudible for her to hear.

During the conversation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Outside the office Sango leaned against the door straining to hear voices, she gave up after a few minutes and made her way back to her computer where she had bejeweled on the screen.

 

Miroku appeared from the elevator, in a plum dress shirt and a black tie. His short black hair was pulled back into a small ponytail. His gold earring reflected the light from the windows. Man, why does he have to be such a pervert. He can be a gentleman at times. Sango dreamily thought.

 

“Sango, my love, it pleases me to see you today.” Miroku broke her reverie.

 

“Huh.” Sango commented dryly. “Kagome still hasn't come out of that office yet. What could they be talking about Miroku?” Sango questioned.

 

“Sango, love, Kagome's a big girl she can decide what she wants to do, we can't make up her mind for her. We have to support her, even though the last boyfriend I had to beat the shit out of. She's gonna be okay, Inuyasha wouldn't pressure her.” Miroku consoled the worried friend.

 

Out walked Kagome, baffled from Inuyasha's outburst. Since when did he ever do something spontaneously from what I hear from Miroku, he always said that Inuyasha wasn't a risk-taker well I have to say he is one good kisser.

 

“Hey Kagome, how did everything go in there?” Miroku asked nicely.

 

“Umm. I'm not positive but he said I can move in anytime. Sango do you think you could help me and Miroku move my stuff over to Inuyasha's?”

 

“Sure, but we don't get off till four, you think you could wait another hour.” Miroku commented as his hand started his roaming game, and whenever it roams….

 

“Hentai!” Sango screamed as her hand left its signature on Miroku's cheek. Caressing his cheek, he grinned lecherously.

 

“Maybe around five, my lady and I have some unfinished business that we have to take care of.” Sango blushed as Kagome chuckled.

 

Again, Sango's hand slapped over Miroku's other cheek.

 

“Geez, when will this pervert ever learn. I swear he doesn't know when to stop.”

 

“Sango, and I thought we are going out since that incident at Boens'.”

 

“Okay, you two, quit it. Sango, I don't know what to say to you. But Miroku, you might not want to not provoke her anymore today, I don't want to clean any wounds.” Kagome steered clear of the death glare from Sango, and grabbed Miroku by the tie and dragged him to the elevator.

 

“Miroku, you might not want to cause a scene. Sango will kill you. And I have a problem.”

 

“What is it?” Worry sketched over his face.

 

“Does Inuyasha always kiss someone he's known for only a day?” Kagome asked.

 

“Not occasionally. Why did he kiss you?” He asked suspiciously.

 

“Miroku, he pushed against the wall and forced himself on me. Though I can't complain that he isn't a bad kisser Miroku.”

 

“That doesn't sound like the Inuyasha I know. Inuyasha hasn't had a decent relationship in over three years.”

 

“Three years. Damn and I thought I was bad. The last relationship I had was two years ago. Damn.”

 

“Kagome, you can't tell him that you know, Inuyasha isn't much of an open guy. If he finds out that you know, he's gonna be pissed.” Not to mention he'd kick my ass for telling.

 

“Fine, I won't tell him, but Miroku I don't know what I'll do if he makes another pass on me.”

 

“Just stick with your instincts.”

 

“Great, just great. Alright I'm leaving I'll meet you and Sango at my place and don't be late.”

 

By the end of the conversation, the elevator dinged, telling them that they were at the garage level.

 

“I'll see you later Kags. I'll talk to Inuyasha for ya.” Miroku kissed Kagome on the forehead.

 

“Miroku.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“What ever you do, don't kill him.”

 

Inuyasha you are in trouble. Miroku thought grimly. Kagome's like a sister to me, and I'm definitely will get some sense through your thick skull.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Inuyasha during all this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Damn that woman, Miroku is gonna kill me when he finds out. Some one pounded on the door, Inuyasha jumped; which is because he didn't pay attention.

 

Fuck, that damn woman already blabbed to Miroku about it. Now I have to injure something.

 

“Inuyasha, open this damn door before I break it in.”

 

“I'm coming.” Ah, man just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.

 

Miroku stormed into the room and pinned Inuyasha against the wall. “You son of a bitch. Why the fuck, did you kiss Kagome? You got her freaking out about all this shit.”

 

“I'm sorry okay?”

 

“You're sorry, my ass. Inuyasha, you're my best bud but if you hurt Kagome in any way I will hurt you. You may be bigger than I am but Kagome is like a sister to me.”

 

“Got it, Miro. Calm down all I did was kiss her.”

 

“Yeah, all you did to Kikyo was kiss her too.. I hate her but look what you went through, I don't want Kagome hurt.”

 

“Don't even bring her into this discussion. Kikyo was a mistake. You think I don't know that. Man. Yeah, they look alike but that was before I talked to Kagome. You got to believe me man.”

 

“Fine, Inuyasha but if you break her heart, I'm gonna kill you, slowly and painfully.”

 

“You've thought of this haven't you?”

 

“Yeah, I have. I swear to it too. I will kill you.” Miroku lessened the grip he had around Inuyasha's neck. “I swear though, if you harm her in any way, I will hunt you down and break every bone in that hanyou body of yours.” Miroku threatened.

 

“You might have trouble with that since I am a hanyou. The only person know of that can cause any damage to me is that stupid demon brother of mine.”

 

“Which by the way where is he?”

 

“In court I think. I'm not the person for law myself. I like building shit.”

 

“Mr. Taisho, you have your brother on line one.” Sango announced.

 

“Half-brother, Sango. Ok though.”

 

“Miroku, I'll see you tonight. Oh yeah. Kagome is making dinner tonight. I don't know what she's making though so you can eat with us if you want.”

 

“Okay. Later.”

 

“Put her in the burgundy room.”

 

“Sure thing, you might not want to keep Sess waiting, he'll roast your ass.” Miroku chuckled at the sight of Sesshomarou roasting Inuyasha over a fire pit.

 

“Whatever you've just pictured, don't tell me.” Inuyasha ended the conversation with Miroku by picking up the phone and pressing one.

 

“Sess, what do you want?”

 

“What I want from you little brother is to find information on a certain person for me.”

 

“And who would that be, Sess?”

 

“A man named Naraku Onigumo. He's supposedly behind numerous drug dealings and planning to steal some kind of jewel.”

 

“Okay, but one problem. I'm not that good with computers.”

 

“Then find someone who is and call me back within an hour if we have something solid so we can arrest this man.”

 

“Fine.” Inuyasha heard the dial tone and hung up. Where the hell is someone who knows a computer really well, when you need one? Inuyasha paged Sango into his office.

 

“Sango, I need you to research a guy named Naraku Onigumo, Sess wants something solid on this fellow within an hour so he can arrest this stupid bastard.”

 

“Why, can't you do the research?”

 

“Because I'm not that great with computers.”

 

“Oh, gotcha. I'll do a search in our databases to see if he's been involved in some past events that he's been in. The name sounds familiar.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note: Hey everybody. I'm surprised that I got this much done last night at work. I wanted to post it as soon as possible and, again to anybody who has written a review. I'd love to have five before the next chapter but I highly doubt it.
