----------
Kagome Higurashi stared up at the enormous building that towered over her, which she had called work for the past six months. The building itself looked unwelcoming and had a sinister feel about it as it was made out of black steel beams to support its weight and glass panes that had been tinted almost black. Instead of reflecting light, it seemed to swallow the sun's rays and hold them captive inside its center. The rest of the office buildings cluttered around it didn't compare to the sheer size of Onigumo Enterprises. Turning her gaze, Kagome's expressive brown eyes fell upon another tall building that was a few blocks away. Takahashi Corporation shone brilliantly in the sunlight as would a diamond. On some days it hurt her eyes to stare at it but she did it every morning before she went into work. It was where she placed her first resume after all. Fear, anxiety, apprehension, and a twinge of excitement were the only emotions she felt for several days as she waited for a call or a letter back on whether or not she got the job. After a week of worrying she placed the call to the woman who was doing all the hiring only to be heartbroken when the positions were said to be full. She only asked for a secretary job knowing she wasn't ready for all the legalities of working in the corporate world.
Adjusting her leather bag strap more securely on her shoulder, the raven-haired girl dug around in her bag to produce one yen piece. Flipping it over in her palm she approached the large fountain in front of Onigumo Enterprises. In the center of the fountain was a huge stone statue of a roaring lion atop a three foot tall circular pedestal. If it were real, it would be assumed that it was circling an enemy, sending out threats before it attacked. Around the pedestal were several small jets that spouted streams of water into the air but only as high as the lion's feet. Taking one last glance at her yen Kagome tossed it into the fountain to drift to the bottom to rest with the other coins she, or other passersby, dispensed. She never wished on hers again, seeing as how she never got the position at Takahashi Corporation but it had become routine for her in the past several months. Sighing dejectedly, she cast one more look in the direction of the building she longed to work in before she trudged her way into Onigumo Enterprises.

Golden eyes swept the streets of Toyko from the fortieth floor as people rushed here and there for work or shopping. Being a quarter to eight, it was still early for its target to make an appearance but Inuyasha Takahashi made sure to be at work a few minutes early so as not to miss it. It had become a weekly routine, surprisingly, since the young half-demon didn't have the time or patience with such trivial matters as the one he resigned himself to for the past five or six months. Every week on Monday between seven fifty and seven fifty-five, a young businesswoman would stop to stare up at his father's rival's company. Whether it be from contempt or disconsolation he didn't know and he really didn't care. What puzzled him, slightly, was when she would always look to Takahashi Corporation with a look akin to longing. Glancing at the clock on his wall, Inuyasha turned his gaze back to the window and looked over to Onigumo Enterprises to see his target stare up at the building as she always did. He smirked, allowing one white fang to peek out from his lips.
"Right on time."
Taking a couple more minutes, he watched as she dug around in her bag for a coin to toss into the fountain in front of the building. Why she wanted to do something silly and wasteful like that was beyond him but then again, he didn't care. Inuyasha watched her as she turned one last look in his direction with the same look on her face as every Monday before she walked slowly into the office building. Pivoting on the heel of his foot, waist length silver hair fanning out behind him, Inuyasha stalked over to his desk and sat down in his large, overstuffed leather chair. Groaning in contempt for the pile of work in front of him, he set his black ballpoint pen on the first sheet, wishing beyond all reason that he didn't have to be here. Being the son of a wealthly businessman required him to learn the tricks and the trade of what went on inside the frame of the building he currently sat in so that one day, alongside his older half-brother, he could run it successfully as is father had for so many years.
