THE STRENGTH OF LOVE

Chapter 2: A clash of wills and lunch

 

Inuyasha glared at he girl, his so-called assistant, venomously. Kagome scowled back at him, her eyes sparking with rage. After a few intense seconds of staring Inuyasha turned his nose in the air arrogantly, and walked across the unoccupied hall to his office. Then glaring at Kagome as if daring her to follow him, he banged the door shut after him.

 

Not paying any heed to his warning glance Kagome followed suit and entered the office. Unlike Seshoumaru's neat and organized office, everything was a mess. Papers were strewn here and there, the desk was scattered with papers so much so that not even an inch of the desk could be seen. A pile of coffee mugs was deposited in a corner. Not only that, the room was dark and stank worse then a dump!

 

Pinching her nose, so that the pungent odor wouldn't reach her, Kagome asked the glowering hanyou, “When was this place last cleaned? Last year? Or the year before?”

 

Inuyasha glare intensified as he snarled, “You got a problem with that, bitch?”

 

Kagome scowled back, “As a matter of fact, I do! From now on, we'll be sharing an office you baka, and unlike you, I prefer neatness, stinky!”

 

Inuyasha bristled, “Who're you calling stinky, wench!?”

 

“Stop calling me wench!”

 

“Stop calling me stinky!”

 

“You're the one working in a dump!”

 

“Am not!”

 

“Are too!”

 

“Am not!”

 

“Are too!”

 

At this point they were standing nose to nose, yelling at each other, when the door slammed open, an irritated Seshoumaru standing in the doorway.

 

“What is going on here!?”

 

Both turned towards him saying in unison,

 

“STAY OUT OF IT!”

 

Seshoumaru stared at them stunned, then he whirled around saying in an emotionless voice, “Inuyasha, now that Kagome is here, I expect to see this place reverted from a pigs sty to an office.”

 

With that he left. Kagome threw a triumphant look to Inuyasha who just snarled “Feh!” and turned his back to her.

 

After a few minutes of Inuyasha's ignoring her, Kagome sighed and spoke.

 

“Look, Inuyasha, I know we kind of got off on the wrong foot, but this is my first day here and I don't want to be miserable. Can't we please start over? Hi, I'm Kagome.”

 

Saying that she extended her hand, with a bright smile on her face.

 

Inuyasha glanced at her extended hand before sighing, and grabbing a hold of her hand and shaking it.

 

“Fine! But you better not try to purify my ass, got that wench!”

 

It was then that Sango chose to open the door. Having heard the last comment, she was about to say something when she caught Kagome's eye who nodded at her, and then turned to Inuyasha, saying angrily,

 

"My name is not wench or bitch or any other stupid names you may come up with. My name is Kagome. Ka-go-me. Get it, got it, use it!"

 

With that, she grabbed her purse and walked out of the room, head held high. Inuyasha stared at her back.

 

Damn, she had attitude!

 

Turning back to survey the `pig sty' as his brother referred to it as, he realized ruefully that maybe it was time for spring cleaning………..in Mid- July.

 

Sighing, he shook his head and sat down on the couch that was sitting in the corner of the office and closed his eyes. While his assistant was on break, so would he.

 

$%$%$%$$

 

Sango, Rin and Kagome sat in the corner of the parlour laughing as Kagome relayed what had happened from the moment she had walked out of the elevator.

 

Finally, Rin asked, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, “So any boyfriend left behind, Kagome?”

 

Kagome went pale for a moment then suddenly regained her composure laughing gaily,

 

“You could say that. More like a persistent admirer.”

 

Sango grinned, “Do tell.”

 

Kagome exhaled loudly,

 

“Hmmm…..where to begin….”

 

“The beginning.” Suggested Rin.

"The universe began with--"

"Not THAT beginning."

"Oh. You know, you should really be more pacific on what you want to ask..." She said nonchalantly.

She was about to say tell them when Sango suddenly shrieked and whirled around slapping Miroku on the face.

“MIROKU! You hentai!”

Miroku rubbed his cheek, not in the least offended.

“But my dear Sango, I was merely telling you that break is over.”

“Yeah? And you couldn't speak because….”

Mirok sighed.

Rin and Kagome got up, and turned to Miroku who was in turn watching a group of rather sleazy looking girls.

"Hey Miroku?"

"Hm..?" He said dazedly. Rin rolled her eyes.

"No matter how long you stare at them, there clothes won't magically dissapeared..." She said sarcastically.

He blushed finally turning to look at her.

“Oh, um yeah, lets go.”

 

A.N: Okay, I need a few reviews to go on. A simple handful will suffice. Plus in the next chapter Rin meets Seshoumaru whom she has never met before in a bar! And boy do they clash!
