“Talking”

`Thoughts'

 

 

“Feh! Why the hell is it taking you so long to drop the runt off?” A brash voice exclaimed as the door of the nursery was thrown opened.

 

“Inuyasha! Don't call Shippou like that and don't yell when there are children around.!” Kagome screamed back at her boss.

 

“Keh! You're one to talk wench. You're screaming loud enough to wake up corpses!” He bellowed back at her crossing his arms over his chest.

 

“Enough both of you!” Sesshoumaru ordered on an exasperated tone.

 

“Hey how long you've been here?” Inuyasha asked, blinking at his older brother in surprise.

 

“I believe he's been here all along. The question should rather be why. And the answer I am sure would be the beautiful woman standing next to him” The man who unnoticed by everyone had entered the nursery as Inuyasha did, said.

 

Having a feeling the man was talking about her, Kagura turned to face the newcomer. As she took in his purple blue eyes and small black ponytail, she had the impression she knew him. Once she finally managed to place back the memory that had been tugging at her she opened her moth wide.

 

“You?!” The wind sorceress exclaimed in surprise and confusion.

 

Her heart started beating wildly as she recognized the man as none other than her first “client” when she had started working for her father. At the time she had been strong and rebellious enough to get rid of the man before anything had happened, which had unfortunately not often been the case with her following clients.

 

'Please let him not remember me! Damn I shouldn't have let on that I knew him to begin with.' She berated herself as she bit her lower lip.

 

“Oh I have died and gone to heaven! It's a small world isn't it? We have found each other again, and to think that my beautiful wind goddess even remembers me!” Miroku exclaimed in pure happiness as he stepped forward to stand in front of Kagura. He reached for her hand, but a sharp murderous glare from Sesshoumaru killed his intention.

 

“I'll think I'll stand over there.” Miroku said scared by his boss's reaction as he went over to stand besides his best friend.

 

“What are you two incapable fools doing here anyway?” Sesshoumaru questioned addressing his half brother and his best friend. He had felt Kagura's discomfort as she noticed Miroku's presence and wanted to get rid of him as fas as possible.

 

'How could I forget Miroku had hired Kagura as an escort before? Maybe I should have given her a heads up before coming here.' The dog demon thought angry at himself.

 

“I just came to check up on my son. At least I have a valuable reason for being here. Anyway Kagome and I have tons of work to do. So come on wench let's go” Inuyasha ordered as he turned towards the door.

 

“Don't talk to me like that! You have no right to be so disrespectful you idiot!” Kagome said angrily as she walked pass Inuyasha.

 

As the half dog demon looked at her slightly too short green jean skirt sway as she walked away, he managed to keep in a lustful groan.

 

“Hey! We weren't done talking. Come back here!” The white haired hanyou said angrily as he stomped away after his secretary. He did interrupt himself to turn around and tell his son “Be good runt, I'll pick you up later on.”

 

“Ha my dear Kagura, you'll see that as stern as the office may seem, we're all a bunch of kids having fun. Do not feel neglected. I may not have the time right now, but I will make sure to have a nice chat with you later on.” Miroku said with a friendly smile as he tried very hard not to disrobe Kagura with his eyes. The main reason being that he did not know what his dear Sango could be watching on her security monitors, not to mention the more imminent threat presented by his boss's presence.

 

“Wait a sec' how... how do you know my name?!” Kagura asked trying to sound as normal as possible. 'He only knew my as Kaze... Please don't tell me Naraku has anything to do with this!' She thought repressing the urge to close her eyes and cross her fingers.

 

“Well our dear big boss informed us of his acquisition of a new secretary. We would have planned a welcome party, but we were given such short notice, which is so different from Sesshoumaru's usual behavior.” Miroku remarked with a knowing twinkle in his eyes.

 

“Miroku, get out of here.” Was Sesshoumaru's only response. The young human wasted no time following his advice. He could easily discern the upset in his boss's golden eyes.

 

“Your daughter is in good hands. Come on, let's get you set up” The dog demon then addressed Kagura as he took her hand and lead her out of the nursery before she could utter any form of protest.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“I trust you understood everything?” Sesshoumaru asked her.

 

“Sessh, I'm not dumb, okay. I can operate a phone, a computer, keep track of your appointments and bring you coffee all at the same time. Damn it's not that complicated of a job” Kagura said as she trailed a finger along her desk.

 

'MY desk! I have a fucking desk! Ha Naraku would be so angry and jealous if that bastard could see me now!' Kagura thought a satisfied and proud grin on her lips. She then lowered a critical glance to the light wood desk behind which she was sitting. Despite the mess covering it, she could already see how she was going to organize her little space.

 

Noticing the way she was looking at her new working area the dog demon said “If something is not to your liking, we can make all the necessary arrangements.”

 

Kagura nodded her assent before answering “No need. Everything is perfect. The place just needs to be tidied up a little. I mean your last secretary had to be so unorganized. I personally, as I'm sure you noticed, always loved order” She said thinking 'A least cleaning up gave me the impression of being in control of something, since I sure as hell couldn't control my life. Thank you daddy dearest!'

 

Nodding in understanding, Sesshoumaru then took out his wallet and out of it fished out a black square piece of plastic. He then slid it on the desk towards Kagura.

 

“What's that?!” She asked eying the piece of plastic with an eyebrow raised in surprise.

 

“It's a credit card” He answered on his usual deadpan expression.

 

“No you think? Don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out...” She trailed off mockingly. “No seriously, what is it for?”

 

“It is for you to use for any type of work expenses.” He answered.

 

“What do you mean by work expenses?” She inquired cocking an eyebrow in surprise.

 

“Office clothes, money spent on your lunch break. In other words, anything related to you working here. There is no limit, you can spend as much as you want” Sesshoumaru said as he watched Kagura's eyes widen in awe.

 

“Wow expenses covered, complete health insurance, and great salary, I wonder how come people are not fighting to get a job here”. The wind sorceress said impressed.

 

'If only you knew...' He thought recalling the vast number of resumes sent to the Takahashi agency's human resources' department.

 

“Hum, it's a company card, and it's in your name. Are you trying to trick me into letting you buy stuff for me? I can accept a job from you, in order to pay back my debt, but that's it. I told you before; I want to work but I don't want charity” Kagura said standing up a somber look on her face.

 

“Witch come down. It is standard procedure for employees to receive a company card. Since I did not have time to get yours, you can use mine in the meantime.” He explained calmly.

 

Noticing Kagura's doubtful expression he then added “Why does everything have to be such a battle with you? Just do as all the employees do and take the card” He told her with an exasperated sigh.

 

“Okay fine. I wouldn't want to act differently from your usual employee.” She said sitting back down.

 

“Good. I have to go. I have an appointment and also have some errands to run” Sesshoumaru said thinking 'Pfft! If all the employees received a credit card the company would be ruined in a week.'.

 

“Oh so we won't be having lunch together?” She asked slightly disappointed. The dog demon almost smirked at her reaction.

 

“No, but we will have dinner together. I thought you had enough of me and like Kanna would like to make new friends” He joked with a smirk.

 

“As unnerving as you are, I like spending time with you” She admitted with a smile.

 

The dog demon did his best to mask his pleasure at the compliment before changing the subject by saying “I doubt you will feel my absence, as I am sure you will be able to eat with Kagome. She is rather nice.”

 

“Did you just call someone nice? Wow I'm shocked!” Kagura exclaimed trying to hide the sting of jealousy in her heart by using humor.

 

“Instead of mocking me get to work” He observed with a small smile as he pointed to the ringing phone on Kagura's desk.

 

She stuck her tongue at him before picking the phone and saying the phrase he had taught her earlier “Office of Mr Takahashi, how can I help you?”

 

'I knew I had made the right decision' The dog demon thought with a smile as he walked over to the room leading to his adjacent office.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

Inuyasha was scratching the side of his hanyou ear with his sharp claws when the shrill sound of his ringing phone disturbed him.

 

“What?!” He barked in the receiver when he picked it up.

 

“Baka is this anyway to answer you phone?” A deep voice asked him slightly amused.

 

“What do you want bastard. I can't talk right now, I'm working.” The half demon answered annoyed to be disturbed by his brother.

 

“I will make it fast. I merely need you to keep an eye on Kagura since I will be out of the office for the day.” Sesshoumaru said rubbing the bridge of his nose in tiredness.

 

“If I do it, will you leave me alone and stop calling me all the freaking time? Keh! I've heard too much from you in the past weeks.” Inuyasha remarked with a smirk.

 

“Do not think it is to my liking either. Just make sure everything goes well for the witch, or else...” Leaving his threat pending, the dog demon hung up the phone.

 

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000

 

 

“So how did you meet Sesshoumaru?” Kagome asked as she bit into her cheeseburger with a moan of happiness.

 

'Strangely I saw her more like a 'only lettuce' eating type of person' Kagura thought as she observed the friendly dark haired woman seating across from her.

 

“We had a business arrangement...” The wind sorceress answered paying attention not to be specific.

 

“Oh then how did you end up working here?” The human woman asked, but then noticing Kagura's face changing to sadness she added on an apologetic tone “Sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.”

 

“Nah, it's okay. Let's just say Sesshoumaru managed to snag me away from my controlling asshole of a father.” Kagura said with a fake unconcerned shrug before biting in her chicken sandwich.

 

'Sesshoumaru rescued her? I knew just like Inuyasha he also has a golden heart' Kagome thought with a warm smile.

 

“Oh I think I ate too much. Thankfully for a change I was able to wear my usual clothes today. Really they should think about making that jeans rule permanent” Kagome said after downing the last of her fries.

 

“What are you talking about? Don't you guys always wear jeans over here?” The wind sorceress asked in surprise after wiping her mouth.

 

“What? Where did you hear that? No it's only today that we...” Kagome started to be interrupted by a gruff voice.

 

“We nothing wench. Keh! You're always blabbering can't hold your mouth shut for one second!” Inuyasha interrupted his secretary as he sat down at the two woman's table.

 

'Feh! I got here just in time. Who knows what Sesshoumaru would do if his witch found out about his little plans...' The half demon thought with a sigh.

 

“Funny, you two seem pretty close. Are you dating or something?” Kagura asked her crimson eyes locked on the hanyou and human sitting across from her.

 

At the wind sorceress's remark, Kagome spit out the mouthful of soda she was about to swallow.

 

“Feh! Me and the wench? Are you crazy or what?” The white haired half dog demon said forcing himself to sound as disgusted as possible.

 

“And what's wrong with me?” Kagome asked revolted as she turned on her side to face Inuyasha.

 

'Oh crap I am done for.' The hanyou thought in dread as he noticed a throbbing vein of anger show on his secretary's forehead.
