A Change in Scenery part 1

 

INUYASHA

 

Inuyasha was in the middle of a deeply erotic dream about his new boss when his alarm decided that it was time wake up. Hearing the noise startled him at first because he couldn't for the life of him remember what exactly he needed to do that made it necessary to wake up at the ungodly hour of 6:00 in the morning. He was racking his brain about it; it took him a good 10 minutes before he remembered.

`Oh Fuck!” He tumbled out of bed and tried to figure out how he was going to get to work in an hour. Granted he had to be there by 9:00 but technically it was his first day so he wanted to make a good impression. It was never wrong to want to get in good with the boss, especially if he was required to find out everything he possibly could about her. But it seemed as if his plan was going straight to hell anyway considering he was already late

“Damnit, of all the mornings to be late it just had to be today.” He had thrown on the suit he had set aside for today and ran to the bathroom. His hair didn't require much product thankfully so he spent the most time brushing his teeth.

He was ready to head out the door in 15 minutes, which meant he had 45 minutes to get there.

`Well I guess it's time to call in a favor' he smiled and flipped open his phone. After dialing the number he waited until someone picked up

“Hey Shippou, I think its time you were good for one of the many IOU's and get me and escort to the Higurashi buildings. I need you outside in no less than 10 minutes.” He said quickly and didn't even wait for a response. He just flipped the phone closed and went down the stairs to wait for his ride.

 

11 MINUTES LATER

 

“Well it's about fucking time you got here! You know, you could have put this entire case in jeopardy with your lack of work ethic, you had better believe I am telling Myoga about this.” Inuyasha yelled half heartedly at his long time friend. Shippou had been like a little brother to him. He knew him from when he was a little kid.

“Whatever fuzz, I got here one minute late. And I know you aren't going to say anything. I know damn well this is against policy. The only reason I am actually helping you is because I DO owe you. But don't make this an everyday thing. I have better things to do than drag your sorry lazy ass around town today.” Shippou always looked up to Inuyasha; he was actually one of the biggest reasons that he had decided to join the force. He just wanted to be close to him.

 

Inuyasha and he didn't really talk much, neither were morning people. But it had taken 20 minutes to get there. Inuyasha thanked Shippou as he exited the vehicle and decided that since he was so early he deserved some much needed coffee. So he headed towards the Starbucks across the street. He had just opened the door when his cell phone went off. He was already agitated about almost being late but everyone who has his number should know that he hates being called this early.

He snatched the phone off of the carrying case and looked at the number.

`Miroku? What in the hell would he want this early?' He pushed the talk button and moved it to his ear.

“Yo Roku, what the hell do you want? You know damn well I hate conversation this early unless absolutely necessary.” He let out a yawn that proved his point and went to stand in line to place his order.

“Inuyasha, it is necessary. Trust me. But look I don't have much time, she is only a few feet in front of me but-” Whatever he was going to say Inuyasha didn't hear past that point. He has come up to the counter and hung up the phone so he could order his coffee and enjoy it in peace. He wanted at least a little quiet and alone time before he had to put on his whole role acting thing today.

“Yes, can I have an Americano please?” He winked at the young counter girl before sliding what change he had left into the tip jar and walking over to the pick up counter.

`I wonder what Miroku wanted. He knows better than to call me this early, maybe it really was something important. Oh well, I can probably find a few minutes at lunch to sneak away and call then.'

 

After spending a little while nursing some of his coffee he walked towards Higurashi towers with his head held high and a smile on his face. (Both were extremely difficult for him because of how damn early it was) But he managed. Hey, it was his job. So he took the elevator up the endless floors and walked into the lobby like there was no place he would rather be. `Yeah right, I would rather be in a nice comfy bed with an incredibly sexy woman lying right next to me.' He got into the elevator and pressed his floor, `hmm, I wonder if it is possible to drink this entire thing before I reach my floor… but should I do it?' Inuyasha quickly stuck the tip of his tongue into the coffee to test its heat rating. `Eh, why not' and he chugged it.

 

KAGOME

 

“Kag! I have something to tell you. You're not going to believe this.” Sango ran up to her friend was practically squealing like a little girl. But her friend wasn't showing the same amount of enthusiasm, matter of fact she hadn't even acknowledged that she even noticed anyone was talking to her. “Hey, Kagome. Are you alright?”

Sango was pretty worried now. After getting a better look, Kagome was deathly pale. And her eyes were sunken in. It looked as if she hadn't slept at all.

After a minute of silence Kagome finally met Sango's eyes and uttered three simple words. “He found me.”
Sango stood there in utter shock before she could register exactly what is was that her friend was telling her. There was no mistaking who the “he” was that she was talking about. But the idea of it was so utterly horrible that you had to take a second to fully comprehend it.

“Kagome, are you sure? What happened? Did he attack you? Why didn't you call me?” Sango was on a roll and there was nothing that was going to stop her. Her mind raced with possibilities and solutions. Anything and everything that would keep her friend safe she would do. “We have to move you, there are thousands of available apartments in this city, and I will have you a new address by late afternoon. I will schedule the movers to come today. You can stay with me tonight and I will help you unpack tomorrow, we will just call in a sick day or something.”

Kagome was in such shock by her friend's complete change of emotions. The girl just went from scared and concerned to angry then straight to headstrong in less that 45 seconds. It was just downright scary sometimes. But Kagome wouldn't have it any other way and was so glad Sango was in her life.

“Yes, I agree. Thank you Sango” She hugged her friend and was about to ask her what her good news was from earlier when she heard the elevator ding and a man came rushing out like he was on fire.

 

“Whader…I pleed whader.” Kagome noticed that it was none other than Inuyasha. `What is he doing here this early?' The man in question came up to them in a hurry and was frantically waving at his tongue. “Kgme. Dho yu Hagve any whader?” It took her a few seconds before she actually understood what the hell he was trying to say

“Yes, I have water. Here.” And she handed him the bottle that she always carried in her purse. “Oh Sango, before I forget, what was it that you wanted to tell me?” Sango's face went from concerned to totally excited.

“Well, I was on my way to work and I was on the phone, as usual. Which reminds me, I need to call them back and finish chewing them out.”

Kagome stood there in complete shock. That had never happened before. Sango was always yelling at someone and there was nothing in this world short of a nuclear disaster that would have gotten her to let someone off the hook about anything. `Oh, this just has to be good' Kagome thought silently, completely interested now.

“Oh don't give me that look. Let me tell my story. Anyway, so as usual I wasn't looking ahead of me…I had the newest financial statements in hand and there were so many missing transactions, I swear, we really need to get more competent people. This is like the third time that we have had a problem. But anyway, that is not the point of the story. So ok, I was walking and yelling, my usual thing and BAM!” She smacked her hands together to emphasize the action. “I ran right into the hottest thing on 3 legs.”

Kagome nodded her head in understanding; she was still so completely surprised that Sango actually had a moment when she wasn't on the phone. She was so surprised that she was sure she was hearing her friend wrong. “Wait, what? Was it a three legged dog or something? I can see how you can give if sympathetic cute points but I don't see how an animal can be “Hot”.” Kagome stared at her friend. `Wow, she has really lost it.' Sango just laughed and waved her hands around.

“NO! My god. I was talking about this walking god of a man I ran into today.” Sango was grinning like a cat with cream while Kagome stood the completely confused.

“Wait. That doesn't make sense. Why would you say a man had…three…legs?” Sango patiently waited while her best friend worked it out. `I swear for someone who has experience with what I am talking about, she is so damn dumb sometimes.' Kagome's eyes widened as she finally understood the double meaning behind her friends description. “Oh my god Sango is that the only thing you can think about. And you even manage to do it while you're on the job. Your sex deprived.”

 

Inuyasha was quietly but quickly drinking the water and basically choked the entire time he was listening to the girls' conversation. `This is SO not something a guy should be listening to. Women are just plain confusing. Should I leave? Or would they get mad.'

He was so into what he was thinking that he barely caught the end of the conversation

“Ok Sango, we have established that he is hot. But tell me you talked to him or something. I mean what is his name?” Kagome was so excited that her friend found a guy. She is alone way too much.

“Well, after I practically ran him over I offered to buy him coffee to apologize, he said yes so I will be meeting him tomorrow morning at the coffee shop across the street. His name is Miroku. So I figured you can sleep in a little bit while I go out and have coffee and maybe a little sugar too.” Next thing the girls new, they were sprayed with water.

 

While pretending not to exist so the girls wouldn't attack him or something for “listening into a private conversation” which he really wasn't, I mean he was standing right there and they were ignoring him. So technically it was not his fault. `But girls don't see it that way' He justified, so he did his best to blend in. But upon hearing his best friends name uttered he spit out the entire mouthful of water onto his coworkers.

When they both looked at him in annoyance and question he only mumbled a shocked “Sorry” Before walking to the break room to get a couple of napkins to wipe of their suits.

If this is the same Miroku that he new, then there was going to be a serious talk later. Luckily for him there was nothing to eventful that had happened on his first day. Around lunch time, he had decided to eat in the break room, figuring that there was a slight possibility of getting any good information. So he was sitting there quietly enjoying his not so good home made ham sandwich when Sam the not-so-smart lobby guy came in and told him he had a few urgent messages from early this morning.

“Why didn't you give them to me directly after you wrote them down? Or connect them to my new number? Or tell me that I had a call?” The lobby guy simply stated that the messages seemed phony and strange, so he figured they weren't important. Inuyasha was irritated but since there was nothing he could do short of telling Kagome or Sango, he figured what the hell. He had about 3 messages that read as follows

 

#1- Please explain to me why you think its ok to hang up on me. You probably know what's going on by now, we will talk about it later.

#2- Hey sweetie, you forgot your damn earring! Make sure you PUT it ON! Or the hole will close

 

When he read that message his hand shot to his ear and noticed that he had indeed forgot to put his ear piece in. After a quick check around the room he removed it from his suit pocket, turned it on and placed it in his ear.

“About time dumbass” An agent on the other side commented through the ear piece. Inuyasha just grunted in response before going back to read the last message he got

 

#3- I had nothing to do with this. But somebody, who is definitely not me, ordered a Stripper to dance at the precinct. She said Inuyasha sent her and that the captain would pay her after she gave him a lap dance. So, you're fired. Bad luck man. Later

 

“Tell Miroku that after he explains everything to me, I am going to break his legs.” He waited for a confirmation before getting up and throwing away what was left of his lunch and walking back to his office to finish some paperwork that he had gotten. `It is crazy how fast the find work for you to do. I am just lucky that I majored in business; I don't know how I could have faked my way through all of that paper work.'

 

A/N: Well that was the end of part one. Again I am SO sorry for those of you who waited on this chapter. It sucked not having any computer for a month. Again I apologize. I hope you are still reading this story. I put it up for those who want to read it. To read and review, so I know what you think. Thanks ya'll. Until next time..
