Someday You Will Be Loved

 

Chapter 5

 

The office was quiet as Kagome stepped off the elevator. She took a deep breath as she looked around the room she'd made a living in for the past two months. Now that this school term was over she could hopefully start a less stressful routine.

 

That was why she was here early. She wanted to start her day before the arrogant Sesshoumaru Itou walked in. In a way even he had become predictable. He either gave her the silent treatment or barked orders at her. Kagome could figure it out by the way he greeted her as he came in.

 

Kagome smelt the coffee she had put on upon entering the office. When she glanced at the clock she realized Sesshoumaru would be in at any moment. She hurriedly poured it into a cup and went to place it on his desk. As she turned to leave, she noticed a single picture frame adorned his desk. She leaned over the desk to get a better look at it.

 

It was a photo of a woman and small child. Long snow-white hair hung around her shoulders, her silver-blue eyes and electric smile seemed to radiate right out of the picture. The child, who looked no more then three was laughing, silver hair brushing his shoulders and golden eyes full of warmth.

 

`Who are they?' Kagome wondered, `Could this be Sesshoumaru's wife and child? Or was it his mother?'

 

She didn't know because she didn't know much about her silent employer, but somehow she knew that if she discovered who the people in the picture were, she'd know a whole lot more.

 

“Woman! What are you doing?”

 

Startled, Kagome scrambled into a standing position. Before her stood the man she was just thinking about. He was impeccably dressed as always, an ivory colored summer suit adorned his fit body, offset by a deep burgundy dress shirt. His hair was still pulled in that low ponytail and his eyes of melted honey regarded her suspiciously.

 

`Gods he looks delicious,' Kagome thought tugging at the collar of her blazer, then she thought better of it, `The jerk, I can never please him.'

 

“Ah, Mr. Itou! Good morning! I was just putting a cup of coffee on your desk. See?” She rambled as she gestured at the cup.

 

“Maybe so, but you were also wondering who was in the photograph on my desk.” Sesshoumaru replied walking over to Kagome, until he stood towering over her petite form of 5'3”.

 

“Well, it is strange that there was only one photo…”

 

“My mother.”

 

“Excuse me?” Kagome said startled.

 

“The woman in the picture was my mother,” Sesshoumaru said shrugging off his suit jacket.

 

“So, the child is you?” Kagome asked amazed. How had such a light-hearted looking child turn into this brooding man? “Wait, you said was. What happened to her?”

 

Sesshoumaru didn't know what compelled him to tell his secretary, but he did. “She died when I was young,” he said as he took his seat behind the desk.

 

“Ah, before Inuyasha was…”

 

“No,” he said, the icy tone settling back into his voice, “She was betrayed, just as I was.”

 

Sesshoumaru looked up to find Kagome staring back at him, “What is it woman?”

 

“Nothing. I was just going to say that I understand why you're angry. I know what its like to be betrayed by someone you love too.”

 

Sesshoumaru looked at his secretary incredulously. `What's her story and why do I even care?'

 

Kagome thought that Sesshoumaru looked like he was about to say something and he did.

 

“Leave girl,” he said as coldly as ever, “There's work to be done.”

 

“Yes Mr. Itou,” Kagome replied bowing her head and walking out the door.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

As he set at his desk he found his thoughts wandering. Wandering from his mother to the girl outside his door. He was angry at himself for even caring a smidgen about her grief. During that short time she had been in the office talking to him, he had noticed for the first time the pain in her eyes. No doubt it had to have been something that idiotic brother of his had done.

 

So there he sat fuming, wanting to rip something apart.

 

`It would be absolutely wonderful if Inuyasha was here now,' he thought smiling wickedly.

 

Again, his thoughts returned to his secretary. She still dressed in the same stiff fashion as when he'd first met her. Kagome's personality was totally different though. She was a spitfire. He didn't think he'd ever forget how she told him to go to hell that first day and it hadn't been the last time he'd heard it either.

 

Now the question seemed to be why? Why did he even have the teeny tiniest bit of interest in her?

 

`It definitely isn't her looks because those absolutely didn't have any effect on him, and the fact that she was human didn't help either,' he thought turning in his chair to face the large panoramic windows, `The only thing I can think of is she's the only being in which I don't know what to expect. One minute she plays the part of a saint and the next she's telling me to go to hell. Either way I have to purge her from my mind. I'll tell father to move her today.'

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

`Poor man,' Kagome thought as she started typing up that day's finance reports, `I mean I knew about the boarding school, but I had no idea about his mother. What an awful thing for a child to go through, knowing your father had had an affair. No wonder he hates Inuyasha so.'

 

Kagome gasped at where her thoughts were leading her, `No, I can't feel sorry for him, not when he's been a monster to me; he wouldn't even use my name! I haven't done anything to betray him, yet he still treats me like dirt!'

 

She swiveled once in her chair and attacked the keyboard with a vengeance.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

Inuyasha looked up at the large, imposing building before him.

 

`Takahashi Corporation, how ironic,' he thought, `the first time I'll ever go in here is to beg for forgiveness.'

 

He walked through the revolving door to the elevator. He knew Kagome worked for his dad and the office was on the 9th floor. So, up he went, wringing his hands, not really knowing what he was going to say. The doors opened then and the first thing he noticed was that only one of the two desk was occupied. The woman who occupied the other desk had straight dark brown hair. There was a nameplate on her desk, Ms. Isabella Martinez - Secretary.

 

“Excuse me, Ms. Martinez?” Inuyasha asked as the woman looked up, dark brown eyes showing a hint of recognition, “Could you tell me where Kagome Higurashi is?”

 

“You're Inuyasha aren't you?” She asked, ignoring the question, “You know, I thought you looked a lot like Mr. Takahashi, but when you said Kagome, that confirmed it.”

 

“Yes, now about Kagome, where can I find her? I really need to talk to her.”

 

“Oh, your father had her moved.”

 

“What!?” Inuyasha exclaimed, “Moved where?”

 

“Just up to the 14th floor,” Bella laughed, “She's your brother's secretary now.”

 

Inuyasha looked like he was about to explode as he turned and stomped back to the elevator.

 

`I can't believe he put her with that bastard,' he thought as the elevator moved up to the 14th floor. When the doors opened he stepped out silently and saw Kagome. Her dark head was bent over a keyboard as she furiously typed. Inuyasha slowly walked up beside her.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

`Ah, almost done,' Kagome thought, her fingers killing her from all this typing, `If I get this finished before he comes out maybe I can get a small break.'

 

Just then she felt a tap on her shoulder.

 

`Oh shit!' she thought, `too late.'

 

“Just one more page Mr. Itou.” she said continuing to type, not bothering to look up.

 

“Kagome,” the voice came from beside her.

 

Kagome froze, Sesshoumaru never called her by her name. She turned slowly and looked up, “Inuyasha.”

 

Kagome could fill her rage flowing through her veins. “What do you want?”

 

“Another chance Kagome,” he pleaded, “Please, I miss you.”

 

“Like hell you do!” She yelled eyeing him suspiciously.

 

“No Kagome, I'm serious, I just want things back the way they were.”

 

“It's a little late for that Inuyasha,” then it dawned on her, “Wait, you just found out Kikyo was engaged, didn't you?”

 

“Well, yes…” he replied looking down.

 

“Sucks doesn't it,” she said looking him straight in the eye, “Knowing the person you love wants to be with someone else.”

 

“Kagome,” he tried again.

 

“Leave Inuyasha, and enjoy the life you've made for yourself,” she spat out bitterly.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

 

Sesshoumaru looked up annoyed when he heard the yelling.

 

`What is that girl doing now?' he thought. It was then that he noticed another scent in the air, `What is that damn brat doing here.'

 

Sesshoumaru stepped out of the office to see his little secretary giving Inuyasha a verbal beating. He smirked at her, `Smart girl.'

 

“Inuyasha,” he said, finally making himself known, “Get out.”

 

“What the…” Inuyasha exclaimed, “Sesshoumaru, this is none of your damn business, so stay out of it!”

 

Sesshoumaru walked up to Inuyasha, wrapping his fingers around his neck, “On the contrary little brother, you made it my business when you came in here while she was still on my clock. Now leave.”

 

With that Sesshoumaru threw Inuyasha toward the elevator. Inuyasha picked himself up, “Bastard.” he said as he retreated into the elevator.

 

Sesshoumaru turned to walk back into his office when a voice stopped him.

 

“Thank you.” Kagome said.

 

“Do not thank me woman,” he replied not even sparing her a glance, “I did not do that for you, Inuyasha just gives me a headache.”

 

Sesshoumaru entered his office and shut the door without another word. Kagome shook her head and sighed turning back to her desk to finish the report.

 

“I guess I won't be getting that break.”
