Hiring
Kagome strutted about the room. Her shoulder length hair was whipping behind her. None of these people even fill the minimum requirements for the job! She sighed exasperatedly, Kami, I've had three bimbos and four fan boys try out for the job already. How hard is it in this wretched town to find a decent house caretaker? (What Kagome really meant was someone to, clean, cook, launder, and well answer her beck and call.)
She sat down in the leather chair and looked at the list of names. Sesshomaru Taekai...Kami, he better be better than the last five,,, er, well... even a talking animal will do.
In walked a godly creature, tall, slender and with startling silver hair.
"You haven't worked a day in your life have you?" she responded automatically.
"More than you'll ever know, back to the point, you're hiring?"
"Yes,"
"What's the pay?" he prodded.
"You will first answer a few questions of my own." she bit out quite annoyed with this fellow. First of all, he had to be the hottest guy she had ever met, but he looked a bit, well, girly. "You aren't perchance orientated towards the same sex?" she asked bluntly.
Kagome thought she heard a low rumbling though the room, but when he didn't reply she paced in front of him looking for any angry indication. She just happened to notice he was a bit taller than her. Geeze! a whole head taller than a model! Some agent would have to notice that talent, basketball or modeling. Not to shabby either, she thought eyeing his clothing. At least he knows how to dress for a job interview.
"No," he said frostily, "I believe that this Sesshomaru preference has always been for the opposite sex."
"Hm," she replied simply. Speaking in third person? Perhaps he is a nutcase, and that's why he isn't a model. "Why would you apply for this job?"
"I want to work, it keeps me busy."
Busy from what? Killing? Gambling? Hahaha shopping? "Busy from what?" she asked this time aloud.
"Bored. Once you've done something so much, something new is needed. I haven't held a serving job before and found yours to be the most appealing. As you can see from my resume I have helped several positions over the past few years."
He handed her a leather bound portfolio, flipping through she noticed papers noting him graduating from Harvard, being an ambassador from Spain, and having a PhD. Who the hell has all the time to do all this crap?
"It appears you are very scholarly, Sesshomaru. Perhaps a more intellectually oriented job is in order for you."
"I already told you, this is something I want to try." He conveyed seriously.
"Then you understand your duties to me as an employee? Clean the house, cook the food, do the laundry, help trai-- "
"Yes, yes," he interrupted, "I fully read and comprehend the tasks."
Well, he can hold a decent conversation... amazingly. "My people will contact you then..." She trailed off, "expect a phone call in the morning, if you are chosen." She added after scrutinizing his appearance again.
He nodded, promptly turning to the door. "Good afternoon then, Kagome."
