13 Years Later

The streets of Las Angeles were crowded, as usual. A brightly painted cab pulled up next to the huge building where she would soon work. Opening the door to the cab a pair of smooth slender legs appeared helping the rest of the body out of the vehicle. "How much do I owe ya?" she asked the cab driver, while smoothing her navy blue skirt. "About $10.50 sweetheart." She smirked and opened her purse to fish out her money "Louie your going to bankrupt me, one of these days." She told the Italian guy behind the wheel. "Sorry Kag, but a man has to earn a living, oh hey good luck on your new job, and knock them dead." She laughed, "Thanks, tell Maria I said hello." Stepping away from the cab, Kagome walked up to the building and pushed open the door to Youkai and Tama Attorneys and Law.

Entering the huge air-conditioned building, Kagome looked around at the busy people who had somewhere to go, and somewhere to be. `Well here goes nothing' she thought as she approached the front desk. "Excuse me sir?" Kagome asked the security guard behind the counter. "Good morning miss how may I be of service to you." The security guard said with a smile `Wow talk about friendly.' Kagome thought, "Today is my first day working here where do I…" "Come with me, and I'll show you" The man cut her off. "Shippo take over, and no bribes this time." A little guy with reddish, orange hair appeared almost out of nowhere `He almost looks like a fox.' Kagome thought, "Gee Kohaku, I made one mistake, and you don't let me live it up. Shippo squeaked, "Don't mind Shippo, it's Monday everyone is still under the weekend pressure." Kohaku said stepping into an almost invisible elevator located behind the desk.

"Where are we going…Kohaku isn't it?" Pressing the elevator button for the correct level Kohaku turned to her "You're going to see Mr. Youkai. He should be able to tell you where to go." Turning towards the door "And yes my name is Kohaku Taijiya, I'm head of security." `This guy has a huge ego, but at least he likes his job.' "DING" The elevator came to a halt and the doors opened to reveal a small lobby. "24th floor, personal office of Mr. Youkai himself." Kohaku said with a smile. "Uhh thanks Kohaku, I appreciate all your help." Suddenly a door opened, out walked a small woman with chocolate brown eyes, and long black hair, and a tall man with silver hair, golden eyes, and elf like ears. The girl was giggling a bit, and her face was red, the man had a slight grin on his face. The two didn't seem to notice Kagome and Kohaku, until Kohaku cleared his throat bringing both of their attentions to Kagome. "Well Miss. Hana I'll be needing those papers by lunch time." The tall man said pushing her lightly forward on her rear. "Yes, sure thing Mr. Youkai." Said the small woman making her way towards her desk, and turning on her monitor. "Hey Kohaku, tell your sister thanks for fixing my computer." The woman waved towards him, he smiled and said "No problem Rin, see ya later Kagome." Kohaku said stepping back into the elevator.

"Miss if you will step into my office, and we can discuss what ever you came here to discuss with me." Kagome stepped into the elaborately decorated office. "Now Miss…" "Higurashi" She said quickly "Miss Higurashi, what can I do for you, and please be quick I'm a very busy man." Kagome looked at him and slid a portfolio folder across the desk. He took it, and quickly looked it over. "Ahh, yes I remember speaking with you over the phone." He said smoothly sliding the folder back to her. "Please forgive my sudden memory loss of your name." With a slight smirk "Your portfolio is very impressive, I must say." Leaning back in his chair he let a small smile escape upon his face. "It takes a lot to impress me now a days." He leaned forward and typed quickly on his computer. Kagome noticed his hands `Oh my goodness they look like claws!' `He couldn't be, no, could it be that he's a youkai?' "Miss Higurashi, I've placed you as the new assistant to Mr. Tama." Turning towards her, he stared deep into her eyes. "Do I know you from somewhere?" One thing came to her mind `GOLD' "I'm not sure where I've seen you before, but I never forget a face." The man stated "Would your name by any chance be Sesshomaru?" she asked. The man's eyes widen in surprise "How did you know that?" He asked bitterly "No one knows my youkai name." She laughed at his frustration, then sat straight up "My mother, and your step mother were best friends, you use to come over to my house all the time." Leaning forward he inhaled her scent a bit "Kagome Higurashi, now I remember you, my have you've grown into such a lovely lady might I add." A hint of red appeared upon her cheeks. "Well now Kagome it was a pleasure seeing you again, do visit more often." Sesshomaru said standing, and extending his hand. "Thank you Mr. Youkai, that I will do."

Kagome said grasping his hand in a firm handshake. "Umm sir how do I get to Mr. Tama's office from here?" Releasing her hand Sesshomaru walked around the desk to escort her out. "Get back into the elevator, and push the button that says 23, it'll take you right to his office." Kagome stepped into the elevator and smiled "Thanks for all your help sir." Just before the elevator doors shut "Oh by the way Miss Higurashi, welcome to the company." Sesshomaru said smiling. When the elevator doors shut Sesshomaru turned towards the working Rin. "Rin, I need those papers now." He said smirking, and added a wink.

Stepping into the elevator, and thanking Mr. Youkai again, Kagome pushed the elevator button that was labeled 23, and waited until the elevator came to a sudden stop, and the doors opened to reveal a similar lobby to Sesshomaru's. As she stepped out of the elevator, she noticed a tall woman, with black hair, and eyes that almost seem scarlet. `She must be Mr. Tama's secretary.' Walking up to the secretary Kagome smiled and said "Excuse me Miss, I'm here to see Mr. Tama." The woman looked up from her computer, and smiled "Of course dear, what is your name." "Kagome Higurashi, I'm supposed to be Mr. Tama's new assistant." The lady looked Kagome over quickly "Well it's a pleasure to meet you then, I will also be your secretary." Standing up and extending her hand "I'm Kagura Kaze, it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Higurashi." Shaking Kagura's hand, indeed it is Miss Kaze. "Take a seat and I'll tell Mr. Tama that you're here.

Kagome walked over to the leather couch, sat down, and opened a business magazine that she found on the coffee table. Turning to her computer, she clicked open the business instant messenger, Kagura opened a new window to talk to Mr. Tama

KazKag: Sir your new assistant is here, should I send her in.

TamInu: What's her name?

KazKag: Higurashi, she's very pretty sir.

TamInu: Yeah so was Yura, but does she have brains.

KazKag: She must have some, if Sess referred her to you.

TamInu: Damn baka trying to fix me up again. I can do my own hiring.

KazKag: She graduated Valedictorian in her college class last year.

TamInu: Great a freshy, just what I needed.

KazKag: Cheer up, at least she's better then Yura.

TamInu: You've got a point, but anyone is better then Yura.

KazKag: So want me to send her in, or make her wait two hours.

TamInu: Sure send her in, hey one more thing.

KazKag: Yes sir.

TamInu: Is she cute?

KazKag: Is that all you men ever think about.

TamInu: Maybe, answer the question.

KazKag: She's decent looking, not sluty but she's more business like.

TamInu: Thanks Kagura, send her in, and get Sango on the line for me will ya.

KazKag: Yes sir.

Clicking the box off, she turned towards Kagome who was still reading the magazine. "Miss Higurashi you can go in now." Kagome looked up from her magazine, she placed it on the coffee table, stood, and walked over to the office door that Kagura was now holding open. "Thank you Miss Kaze." Kagome said with a smile, and walked in.

Kagome made her way into the office, and saw a tall man behind a cherry wood desk typing something. `He looks so familiar, wait can it really be…' Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when he turned towards her, and he gasped. "Ka…Kagome?" Kagome's eyes widen like saucers "In…Inuyasha."
