InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Romance Novel ❯ Princess ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3: Princess

 

Kagome sat in her office not knowing what to do. This job was interfering with her studies. She looked at the card that Sango gave her the other day. She wasn't going to sell the company just yet, but she was definitely thinking about it. Maybe she would give this place a couple months.

 

There was a knock on her door and Inuyasha then entered. He walked up to her desk and dropped a stack of papers on her desk. She looked up at him confused then flipped through the papers.

 

“I finish my book and this is all of it. You can send it to Miroku so he can edit it, or whatever,” Inuyasha stated and began to walk out.

 

“Wait! Do you know how this company works?” Kagome asked.

 

Inuyasha stopped at the doorway and turned back to face her. “More or less,” he shrugged.

 

“Would you mind helping me? I have no idea what I'm doing here,” she sighed.

 

“Well, I have nothing better to do. I guess I'll tell you what you need to know,” he said walked back to her. He pulled a chair up next to her and sat down. He reached across Kagome to grab the phone. He called Miroku and told him to go to Kagome's office for the transcript.

 

“So when I get a transcript I just call Miroku to edit it?” Kagome asked.

 

“Well each author usually has their own editor. I know that lots of authors get their transcripts edited before they turn it in to you. Then you just send it to the fifth floor to get it bound and covered,” Inuyasha explained.

 

“Why are you so special?” Kagome asked.

 

“Because I chose to use the company's editor and I've written over 20 books for your father,” he stated.

 

“Do I have to read it?” she asked.

 

“It really doesn't matter. I'd actually prefer it if you didn't though,” he said.

 

“Why is that?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

 

“Because I'm afraid if you read it you'll instantly fall in love with me like so many other women,” he smirked leaning in closer to her.

 

“As if I'd fall for a player like you! You just use women to get what you want out of them and I'm not as dumb and naive as those poor women,” she snapped.

 

“I guess you would know all about that then,” he said backing away from her.

 

“That's right, so don't try to make a move on me,” she spat.

 

“Well if that's what you think then you don't know anything. Try getting to know someone before judging them,” he said and left.

 

Kagome felt horrible. She didn't know why she said that. She felt that if she got close to him that he would just drop her like a rock. Besides he was her client, the most they could be was friends. Not that she was wishing anything would happen in between them.

 

She stood up and walked out of her office. She hit someone's hard chest and let out a surprised squeak. She looked up to see a very handsome man standing in front of her. She felt heat rise in her cheeks and she looked away from the man. He had long black hair and green eyes. His skin was beautifully tan and Kagome could tell he was really muscular under his shirt.

 

“Excuse me, but are you Kagome Higurashi?” the man asked.

 

“Yes, that's me,” Kagome stated.

 

“I'm Kouga Wolf. I'm the accountant of the company,” the man explained.

 

“Oh! I totally forgot about our meeting! I'm so sorry! I have one thing to take care of before we start,” Kagome said and slipped passed him.

 

She saw Inuyasha talking to Miroku and sighed. Maybe she could catch him later and apologize then. She turned back to Kouga and smiled.

 

“Let's get on with it,” she said leading him into her office.

Inuyasha barged into Kagome's office and walked up to her desk. Kagome was silent as he grabbed his transcript and turned away from her. Kouga sat in the seat next to Kagome as they went through the basics of how the company was run.

 

“I'm taking this to Miroku, Kags. See you later,” Inuyasha stated and glared at Kouga before turning towards the door.

 

“You look well, muttface,” Kouga snapped.

 

“Don't start with me fleabag!” Inuyasha growled turning to face Kouga.

 

“What's wrong? Can't take it?” Kouga asked standing.

 

Kagome stood too and said, “Wait a sec here. No need to get hostile.”

 

“Stay out of this Kagome. This is between me and Wolf,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Don't you dare start a fight in my office!” Kagome yelled.

 

“God! You're such a demanding woman! How can anyone stand you?” Inuyasha blurted out, not meaning a word he said. Kagome gasped and felt tears come to her eyes.

 

“Excuse me Kouga,” she choked out before running out of the room. Kouga turned to Inuyasha and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

 

“What the hell are you doing? You should never make a woman cry! Especially someone like her!” Kouga yelled shaking Inuyasha. Inuyasha felt bad for saying those things. He didn't mean anything he said and now he had made her cry.

 

“Let go of me,” Inuyasha ordered.

 

“Don't ever go near Kagome again, muttface! I'm going to make her my girlfriend and when I do I don't want you anywhere near her!” Kouga growled and left the room to find Kagome.

 

“Girlfriend? Not if I can help it!” Inuyasha snapped and bolted passed Kouga. He knew where Kagome went. She was probably in the girl's bathroom crying in a stall or something. He ran straight into the girl's bathroom, not caring if anyone was in there.

 

“Kagome? Are you in here?” he asked. He heard some sniffing and a gasp come from the stall next to him.

 

“Listen Kagome. I didn't mean what I said back there. I was just angry about all the conclusions you jumped to about me and then seeing Kouga put the icing on the cake. So please stop crying and come out,” Inuyasha said.

 

“Go away Inuyasha. I just want to sit in here and cry, so leave me alone!” Kagome's voice spoke out in sobs.

 

“I said I was sorry, so stop crying!” Inuyasha barked at her and tried to open the stall.

 

“I said leave me alone!” Kagome repeated.

 

“Not until you accept my apology. Believe me when I say I never apologize except when I screw up and now I'm admitting that I've screwed up. Just come out here,” he stated.

 

“I'm not crying because of you,” she said in a quiet voice.

 

“Then why are you crying?” he asked.

 

“It's none of your business!” she cried.

 

“Crying in a bathroom stall by yourself is never good Kags. Just tell me what's bothering you and I'll leave,” he said.

 

“I hate being so stupid! I don't understand anything about his company no matter how many times it's explained to me and I feel stupid for not being able to do anything! I hate it! I just want to crawl into my bed and sit there crying until it all goes away!” she sobbed out.

 

Inuyasha sighed and rubbed the back of his head. He wasn't good at comforting people so he had no idea what to say. “Well, maybe you aren't cut out to be an executive. A person can't be good at everything. You're good at art and that's what you should be doing. Besides a girl like you is too caring to be in the owner of a business. You have to be ruthless when running a company and I just can't see you that way. You're too nice of a person,” he said.

 

The stall door opened and Kagome threw herself at Inuyasha. The force of her weight caused him to get knocked off balanced and they went tumbling to the floor. Inuyasha lay on the bathroom floor with Kagome clinging to him. He pushed himself up into the sitting position and looked down at the crying girl that was on his lap. Just this once he was going to let down all of his defenses. He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth.

 

“Stop crying Kags. I hate it when women cry,” he whispered in her ear.

 

Kagome calmed down slowly and stayed buried in his chest sniffling every once in a while. She liked this side of him and she didn't want it to end. “Thank you Inuyasha,” she smiled and looked up at him. She hadn't noticed how close they were until that moment. His hand went up to wipe her cheeks and he smiled back at her.

 

“It's no problem Princess,” he teased.

 

“Princess?” she asked.

 

“Well you're rich now so you are a princess. What's wrong, you don't like your new nickname?” he joked.

 

“I don't mind as long as you're the only one who calls me that,” she said backing away from him.

 

“Then it'll be my nickname for you. Come on, let's get you washed up. I'll be waiting outside, since this is the girl's bathroom and all,” he laughed.

 

“Okay, I'll be out in a minute,” she stated getting off of him. He stood and helped Kagome stand. He then left the room and waited for Kagome to come out. This may be the start of a friendship.
