InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Pleasures of Business ❯ Lunch ( Chapter 4 )

Hey everyone I'm back with my latest fic. This is a little change from my usual writings, I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think by reviewing. ~Shell

The door that separated Inuyasha and Kagome's office closed as soon Inuyasha walked through the threshold. Kagome looked around at her new work surroundings everything seemed to be elaborate in someway. 'Damn, whom ever designed or decorated this building, has damn good taste, expensive for one thing.' Kagome thought to herself. 'Leather couch, leather chairs, cherry wood desk, I feel as if I'm one of the CEOs for this company. This furniture cost a pretty penny to the buyer.' She let out a little giggle, and sat down at her desk. "That must be Sesshomaru who picked everything out, he always was the expensive taste type." She murmured under her breath, so even with his youkai hearing, he could hear her. "Who would imagine after 13 years, I would see him again, let along work for him." Kagome sighed 'Must be a dream come true, or someth…!'

Kagome's thoughts were interrupted when her office door opened, Inuyasha, and a tall, long black haired woman with violet eyes walked into her office. Inuyasha walked to where Kagome sat in her chair and stood by her. "Kagome this is Sango Taijiya, our best technician that we have." Standing Kagome extended her hand to the woman. "It's a pleasure to meet you Sango, so your head of technology?" Sango smiled slightly and took Kagome's hand and replied, "Same here Kagome, yeah I'm the head of technology, I see your Inu's new assistant, I must say way better then the last one." Letting out a small giggle Kagome "I'll take that as a compliment!" Looking at Kagome 'something tells me Inuyasha has a claim on her." Sango thought, "You better, Yura was good at nothing, well except keeping her hair perfect." Sango, and Inuyasha bursted out laughing. Kagome stood there looking puzzled, and confused. Inuyasha noticed this, and quickly reclaimed his composure.

"Anyways Kagome, all of our employees get their very own laptop, and Sango here helps install the programs and helps with any problems that may come up." Kagome looked at Sango in amazement, "You must know a lot about technology." Sango looked at Kagome and blushed slightly "I did graduate Valedictorian at MIT." She admitted shyly. "Yeah she was the only female in her class, and beat the Salutatorian by 2%." A tall man with, dark hair, violet eyes, semi masculine, with a smooth stride wearing an Armani suite walked into Kagome's office. Inuyasha and Sango both growled under their breath, and then spoke "What do you want Houshi?" The man put on his best innocent face, and said "My dear Sango, my great friend Inuyasha why is it when ever I visit you assume that I want something?" Inuyasha allowed a smirk to fall on his face "You usually do." He said making everyone face fault. "Sango, how good it is to see you." Miroku said making his way over to Sango and grasping her hands. "You know my offer still stands my lovely butterfly." Sango's face immediately went red, and took her hands back from him, five seconds later he was flat on the ground. "I WILL NOT BARE YOUR CHILD, YOU STUPID HOUSHI." Sango screamed, at the twitching man lying on the floor.

Kagome, feeling a little left out, cleared her throat and gathered the attention of everyone. "Inuyasha is this your new assistant, she's lovely." Miroku was up off the floor, with Kagome's hands within his own. "My dear lady, I would be honored if you would bear my child." Two seconds later he was back on the ground, Sango and Inuyasha had flames in there eyes. Kagome moved towards Inuyasha with a scared look on his face. 'These people are weird, they talk about people caring about hair, and now some creepy guy who I've never met in my life is asking me to bear his child.' Inuyasha saw Kagome looking uncomfortable, and put his arm around her and pulled her close to him. "Houshi you better keep your hands off of Kagome, unless you want to see how thick the walls in the office really are." Miroku let out a loud gulp, and slowly backed away from Inuyasha and right into Sango. "So who are you anyways?" Kagome said "Oh, please forgive my rudeness my name is Miroku Houshi, and I'm the Systems Analyst, also Inuyasha I'm only up here looking for Sango." Inuyasha rolled his eyes "Your always looking for Sango, when the newest female worker arrives." Sango turned to face him "Yes Houshi-sama why is that?" Miroku made sad puppy eyes at Sango "I can not lie to you my dear butterfly, I compare you to all the new women and above all the females you are the fairest one of them all." Everyone except Miroku face faulted "Is he gay?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha "Naw, he's just a pervert, a dead pervert if he doesn't keep his hands off of you." He said with a low growl eyeing Miroku. "Cool it Inu she's all yours." "Good keep it that way, by the way Miroku how the hell do you know so much about Sango's college life." Inuyasha said curiously 'Kami don't tell me he's secretly a stalker, I had a hard time adjusting to him being a lecher.' "Guess who was the Salutatorian?" Sango said with a smirk looking over at Miroku. "I knew you two had history, and didn't even bother to tell me." Inuyasha pouted.

Everyone began to chitchat, with one another about how college was, except for Kagome. 'College, to me meant pain, sorrow, long nights, and some one that was always out to get you.' Kagome and everyone else was snapped back to reality when they heard her stomach growl. Blushing Kagome giggled quickly "Sorry about that, I had a short breakfast." Inuyasha looked at the clock on the wall, "We've been in here for at least 2 hours, no wonder." Turning back to Sango, and Miroku he spoke. "We should probably get back to work, how about you two join Sess, Rin, Kagome, and I for lunch." Everyone nodded in agreement and soon Sango had Kagome's new laptop installed with the proper programs, she even had a login name. "HigKag"

While Sango worked they talked about technology, Kagome knew a lot about it because Computer Science was her minor in college. "So Sango what's with you, and Miroku are you two an item or what?" Sango blushed a deep shade of red "We dated a few times." She said plainly "He's a great guy, but there is one thing that gets in the way." Kagome giggled, "Let me guess his lecherous hand." Sango giggled loudly as well. "Kagome I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship." Kagome nodded with a smile. "So tell me about you and Inuyasha, he's not the type to date the new girl right off the start." Kagome blushed a bit, "I knew him when I was growing up, and then a major accident happen and I haven't seen him for 13 years, until today." Sango looked up with wide eyes, "Wow, that's amazing, your family must really like him." Kagome looked down for a moment trying to keep the tears that were stinging her eyes to be released. "13 years ago, my family was killed, and I was kidnapped by some wolf youkai, for the past 13 years I've been trying to live my life, not thinking about it." Sango's eyes held some sorrow in them as well "My family was also killed, I grew up trying to support my brother Kohaku, and I." Looking up with a glint of happiness to her face "Somehow we made it, just like yourself." Kagome smiled a bit knowing that she, and Sango would grow to become great friends. "Well Kagome, that's about it, I better go tell dog boy in the next room that we're done." Sango said getting up from the swivel chair she had been sitting in. "HEY I HEARD THAT REMARK SANGO!" he shouted from the next room. Kagome and Sango looked at each other and let out non-stop laughing, and didn't stop until Inuyasha, Miroku, Rin, and Sesshomaru were all standing at her doorway. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, and looked at Rin who he had his arm wrapped around and said "I don't even want to know."

Miroku and Inuyasha gave each other looks that said 'Are they nuts or is it just the water?' Kagome and Sango stopped laughing for a moment to look at Inuyasha, and started up again. "Ok, ok you two, quite with the laughing unless you don't want any lunch." Inuyasha said with a smirk, within two seconds Kagome and Sango were standing next to Inuyasha and Miroku. 'How is it women can move this fast when they're starving?' Inuyasha thought wrapping an arm around Kagome's thin waist. Miroku didn't know what to do he certainly didn't want to enter the restaurant with a red cheek mark in the form of a handprint. "Sango, care to be my guest." Miroku said with a hint of amusement in his voice offering his arm to her. "You know what Miroku, I think I will." Sango said looping her arm with his. Each couple walked out the doors of the building, and right out front was a black limousine with the chauffer waiting to take them to lunch. "Wow Inuyasha, you travel in style." Inuyasha looked at her then to Sesshomaru "Damn brother of mine has to show off." Sesshomaru chuckled a bit "Come everyone, I made reservations and I hate being late." Sesshomaru said and started off towards the limousine with his arm still wrapped tightly around Rin's waist. The other two couples looked at each other at followed him into the limousine.

Entering the beautiful black limousine Kagome's eyes went wide in amazement. It looked like it could seat about 8 people comfortably, the seating was covered in black leather, there was a mini fridge and sitting on top of it was a television. If you looked in the middle of the seating you would see a phone that contacted the chauffer in the drivers seat. Kagome looked up and saw a moon roof that could have at least fit 3 people out. "I see that you're impressed by my limousine Kagome." Sesshomaru said with a smirk. "It's amazing Sesshomaru, I must say you have wonderful taste." Inuyasha only said "Feh" Kagome catching this laid her head on his shoulder and smiled, Inuyasha knew that she was only complimenting him so he pulled her in closer to him. '13 years apart and they look like they've dated for years.' Sesshomaru thought smiling down at Rin, and kissed her temple. Kagome looked over to where Sango and Miroku were sitting and was surprised to see Sango sitting on Miroku's lap with a dazed look on her face. 'She really cares for him, those two would make a great couple, if only Miroku would stop his lecherous ways.' Kagome thought snuggling closer to Inuyasha.

For the rest of the ride no one said anything, they just enjoyed the company of those who were around them. When the limousine stopped in front of a 5 star restaurant Kagome's eyes widened at how lovely it looked. The floors were made of marble, the service and food were excellent, and Kagome thought she seriously was in a dream. During lunch Kagome asked questions about what happened to her three friends during the 13 years she was away. They told her about the many searches that went on looking for her, but they all ended in dead ends. Then Kagome asked about Sesshomaru and Rin's relationship, they both blushed and Sesshomaru basically said that they were engaged. Sango had asked how Sesshomaru proposed and Rin took over on that question. "It was my graduation day from high school, I had just gotten my diploma when Sesshy here walks on the stage, gets down on one knee and proposed to me." Rin said showing her left hand, and there on her left ring finger was a diamond the size of a rock. Kagome and Sango were looking at Rin admiring "Aww Sesshomaru you're a helpless romantic." Kagome said with a smile. Inuyasha and Miroku were giving him cold looks, but the looks were interrupted when the band started up. "Kagome would you like to dance?" Inuyasha said offering his hand, smiling Kagome took his hand "Of course I will." Miroku and Sesshomaru soon followed the suit.

Somehow during the dance Inuyasha and Kagome strayed from the others to a beautiful garden. "It's so good to see you Kagome." Inuyasha whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine. "I've missed you as well Inuyasha." They danced a bit more before sitting down on a bench; Inuyasha looked Kagome in her eyes. "13 years, and I feel as if I've never lost you." Kagome smiled and laid her head in the crook of his neck. "You never did, I just wasn't there." Kagome said smiling, "You know Kag I looked at your home information, and where your living isn't the best place in L.A." Bringing her head away from him she looked down "I know, but I can't afford anything else, the salary that I'm going to be taking in is only 34k a year." Inuyasha looked at her with confused eyes, "Who said you were going to make 34k a year?" Inuyasha said cupping her cheek "You mean it's less?" Kagome turned her head she didn't want Inuyasha to see the tears that were forming in her eyes. Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him, "Kagome your going to be making at least 90k a year." Kagome almost fainted but Inuyasha pulled her to him, "Kagome if anything I want you to move in with me." "You're my responsibility, and always was, let me take care of you." 'RESPONSIBILITY!!!' Kagome thought angrily "Listen here Inuyasha I have taken care of myself for 13 years, I'm not your responsibility." She got up and turned to him, she had flames in her eyes "I'm no one's burden, if I were to move in with you, I'd better have a rock on my left hand, or pregnant even then I wouldn't need you around." She started to walk away in pure anger before he grabbed her arms twirled her around and crushed her lips with his own. "You know those two things can be arranged, Kagome." He said nuzzling her neck. "I didn't mean it, it's just…" Inuyasha's lips capturing hers in a sweet and gentle kiss cut off Kagome. "Come on let's get going everyone must wonder where we are, but promise me one thing Kagome?" Kagome looked into his eyes and felt that he could see her soul, "Promise me that you'll get out of the neighborhood that your living in now, even if it means you have to come live with me." Kagome nodded and they made their way back into the restaurant.

Sesshomaru paid the tab, and when they were ridding in the limousine none of them wanted to go back to the office. Allowing a rare mysterious smile appear on his face, Sesshomaru spoke "All of you as well as I don't want to go back there, so lets take the afternoon off." Everyone looked at him with a shocked look on their faces and the same thing 'You are you and what have you done with Sesshomaru the workaholic?' "What you want to go back, that can be arranged." Sesshomaru looked at them and reached for the phone to tell the driver where to go, they all screamed "NO!!!" He let out a chuckle "I thought so." He picked up the phone receiver and told the chauffer to drive in the countryside, doesn't matter where but make sure it has nice scenery. When he put the receiver back in it's cradle he pulled Rin onto his lap, she snuggled into his chest, soon Inuyasha, and Miroku did the same with no complaints from either girl.

When it started to get late Sesshomaru had the chauffer drive them back to the office building. Each went inside and gathered their belongings, and headed home. Just as Inuyasha was about to leave he stepped into Kagome's office to find her at her desk gathering her coat and purse "You want to get some dinner?" Kagome looked up and smiled "Sorry Inu but I'm going to have to take a rain check, I'm tired and still full from lunch." Inuyasha nodded and sighed deeply "Maybe tomorrow though?" Kagome asked with a smile. Inuyasha smiled and said "Sounds good Kag, do you need a lift?" She shook her head "No, I have someone whose coming to pick me up." Inuyasha walked over to her and said softly while kissing her cheek, "Be careful going home Kagome, and I'll call you later." Inuyasha then walked out with a smile on his face. 'My first day on the job, and I know I'm going to like it here.' Kagome thought with a smile, walked out and locked her office door.'

When she walked outside a familiar yellow taxicab pulled up. A man with long black hair pulled back, with blue eyes stepped out of it, and smiled at her. 'He looks so familiar, where have I seen him at?' Kagome thought but was soon snapped out of her thoughts when the cab driver called to her. "Hey sweetheart ready to go or do you plan to stare at every hot guy that walks out of my cabs." Kagome blushed a bit "Oh shut up Louie and drive, I have no interest, but he does look familiar though." The cab driver smiled "Tonight Maria is making spaghetti you interested?" Kagome yawned a bit "No, I'm not that hungry, very busy day, but tell her thanks." He chuckled a bit "So how was your first day, meet anyone new?" Kagome blushed a bit remembering the earlier lunch "Nope, but I found my past and maybe future." Louie looked in the rearview mirror with a raised eyebrow "I'll tell you about it on the way home." She laughed.
