*Do not own Inuyasha or related characters*

Chapter 1: Work day

"Kagome, you got those files for me?" Her boss asked, walking to her desk.

"Sure thing, here you go Inuyasha." She handed over the files to him with a smile on her face.

She had been working at Tashio Corporations as Inuyasha’s secretary for almost a year now and he had long told her not to call him Mr. Tashio because it reminded him of his dad and even worse his brother, who just recently took over the company.

"Thanks, you’re the best Kagome. Tell Kikyo to just come in when she gets here."

"Okay Inuyasha, no problem."

She watched him walk into his office and shut the door as her mood dropped. She hated when Kikyo stopped by, it only reminded her that her affections towards Inuyasha were wasted. He had been engaged to Kikyo for a few months now and she couldn’t stand it. Her opinion of her was gold digger but Inuyasha genuinely loved her. To her, Kikyo didn’t love him as much as he loved her because Kikyo just didn’t act like he was the love of her life. It always seems like her mood was sour unless she had his credit card and was buying expensive luxuries. Plus she always treated her like dirt and she personally thought that Kikyo had another lover.

The elevator dinging made her look up from her desk and she wanted to gasp in surprise. It was the new owner. She could count on one hand how many times she had seen him. He was just as gorgeous as Inuyasha except everyone was scared of him like he was the angel of death. True to his nature, he stormed through the room his eyes narrowed at Inuyasha’s door. His sullen mood was no surprise to her, everyone knew about his demeanor. She assumed he had a massive amount of work to do every day so she didn’t take his grumpiness personally. In fact, he didn’t have his own secretary because he would fire them as soon as they screwed up.

"Good Morning, Mr. Tashio."

Ignored. Again, not a surprise but it was her job to greet everyone in a jovial manner. She jumped when Inuyasha’s door slammed shut from behind her. "Well that doesn’t sound like it was the start of a pleasant conversation." She mumbled getting back to work.

He was beyond angry. That ignorant half-breed has pushed his last nerve. As he exited the elevator he ignored the pleasant scent that filled his senses along with the soft voice that accompanied it and stormed into Inuyasha office.

"What do you want asshole?"

"You are marrying that woman." He threw the invitation on his desk. It was a statement. Not a question.

"DUH Sesshomaru, we’ve been engaged for months now, I thought you knew. I guess with all that work you do, you didn’t hear about it."

"Of course I heard about it half-breed, that is why I am here. I thought your affections towards each other would die out and I wouldn’t have to intervene but since you actually have set a date-"

"What do you mean intervene?" Inuyasha interrupted.

"You have not even shown her your true form Inuyasha, how do you know she will not reject you? You do remember how humans react to us, correct?"

"She doesn’t care, Sesshomaru. I just know she doesn’t."

"Oh? How so? Technically you have been lying to her and if you intend to move forward, you need to show her. I wonder how she will feel when the children she has by you will be laced with demonic blood."

"I get it, okay? I will show her before we marry."

"You had better do it soon or-" He was stopped by the sound of the door knob opening.

She couldn’t imagine what was going on in that office. Mr. Tashio never came down from his office unless- no, he never came down.

Of course, besides important meetings, to which is how she had saw him maybe twice before, he never left his office. Maybe she should ask Inuyasha if she could help him. The clicking of shoes brought her out of her thoughts. Here came the person of her jealousy walking in with 4 inch red pumps and mini skirt along with tight low cut shirt that announced her fake breasts. How could Inuyasha not see through her? She sighed.

"Good Morning Kikyo, How are you today?"

"Where’s my Inuyasha?" God, she hated her.

"He in his office, but Mr. Ta-" She watched as Kikyo just stomped right through and opened the door. Oh well, maybe Mr. Tashio would give her some choice words. She smiled at the thought.

She only had to wait a moment before there was another door slammed and Mr. Tashio walked by her desk saying, "Insolent wench."

She couldn’t control it; here was one of the richest and poweful men in the world cursing a single woman. She laughed. It was soft but was still heard by him as she watched his back tense. Her eyes widened. Shit, she was in for it now. Damn it, she should control herself better. She looked up into his beautiful light brown eyes just like his brother and awaited the worst. She gasped as he smirked at her and continued toward the elevator. She watched him as he continued to smirk as the doors closed.

She let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. "God, that was close."

It was near the end of the day when she decided to ask Inuyasha if she could help his brother out. She got up her nerves and knocked on his door. She heard his greeting and walked in.

"What can I do for you Kagome?"

"I just have a question I have been thinking about today." She started nervously.

"Okay, what is it?"

"I-I just wanted to see if I could do secretarial work for Mr. Tashio."

Inuyasha dropped what he was doing gapped at her. "What the f-"

"Only on Saturdays!" She interrupted before he freaked any more out. "Everyone knows he works on Saturdays, hell, probably even Sundays." She felt bad he always worked the weekend when everyone else was off.

"Kagome-" It sounded to her as if he was going to say no.

"Please, Inuyasha. I would really like to help him out. We both know he fires every secretary he gets and he has to be smothered in the work load."

Inuyasha started at her for a moment before she added, "And maybe he might not be such an asshole to everyone." She laughed when he laughed. Only with him could she get away with such slander.

"Alright Kagome, I’ll ask him tonight at my dad’s place. We are having a family meeting or something." He finished with a groan.

"No, absolutely not Inuyasha."

"Why? You could use the extra help, Sesshomaru."

"No, I will not have another whore come into my office and try to take my person by throwing their ill-favored bodies at me."

"It’s Kagome, she isn’t like those women you hire, which is your fault by the way, and she has been with me for nearly a year, she is always professional. She doesn’t think about her personal life while she is at work, she is very good at separating the two."

"Are you blind Inuyasha?" He had been in the room with that woman on a few occasions and even he could see the adoration in her eyes when she looked at his brother.

"What?" Inuyasha’s eyes widened in shock.

"Nothing your inferior eyes can see apparently. Now, I will not say it again. No, I don’t want or need any help."

Inuyasha watched as Sesshomaru left the kitchen of their parents’ house and stared down at his phone. ‘I will just tell her Monday.’
