More Than Me by Music Junkie

Chapter 1

'I really need to change this ceiling' thought Kagome. It was almost time to get up and she had been awake for at least 2 hours already. Waking up after bad dreams, there was never really anything that she has tried that would work to help her get back to sleep, so she just stayed up and thought. Never about the dreams mind you.

She thought about what she needed to do for the day or how she could improve her work ethic, once she got to work that is. Her job was to be a personal assistant to one of the biggest corporate men in half the world. It wasn't too big of a problem since she and her boss had been friends since freshmen year in collage. He was her savior from all the taunts, name calling, and esteem lowering pranks. One day after a particularly hard day of being teased some random guy just starts throwing snack cakes at her. She tried to ignore it but he wouldn't stop, that is until Inuyasha came. Needless to say the guy ended up face first in front of the schools water fountain. Since then it's been him and her both inseparable. He's the main reason she had her current job now. His family being super duper rich or something of the sort; owning the corporation in which they worked. His father basically got him the job as well. When she first went to his home it was like a mind blowing experience; almost like walking into a castle. 'Talk about extravagant' she thought.

Looking at the clock on the night stand next to her queen sized bed reading at almost 5:00 she knew Sango would be barging through her door at any moment now. It was only days like this when she was up before the early bird.

Having a little over 12 minutes to think she laid still thinking of how things have changed for her. Not so dramatically but to the point were the pranks and have stopped. Of course there were still the little comments every now and then or the not so appraising compliment. Her favorite one was the fake 'hey my buddy likes you come talk to him for a sec will ya?'

See Kagome used to be a big girl and when I say big I do mean a BIG GIRL. Being a size 26 and being her height which was 5'7 wasn't the most attractive thing, at least not in today's society.

Kagome couldn't ignore the fact that something was indeed wrong with the fact that she was three times the size she was suppose to be but the problem was somewhat rectified years ago. Coming to a decision that it was time for a change she asked Inuyasha for help and he readily accepted her invitation. The workouts were so hard most days she felt she had died and gone to fat girl hell. Only after reaching her goal of a perfect size 14 did she feel that her decision was a good one.

Still people don't know what she went through to get were she is today because they only see the exterior, not the interior. Heart clenching at the thoughts resurfacing in her mind tears started to well up but she didn't have enough time to cry even a little before Sango came in with her special wake up call.

"Kagomeeeeee?" Came a soft voice into the room, "Hello? Is anybody alive in here?"

Kagome wanted to laugh at that statement. 'Just barely' she thought.

"You know Kagome if you don't get up I'll get the back up alarm, you know how much you love that one." Said Sango with a smug grin on her face knowing the back up alarm consisted of a huge bucket of water filled with ice, 'oh how she loved the mornings' she thought.

With amazing agility and cat like graces, Kagome jumped out of bed with a look of utter disdain pointed in the direction of her so called friend. Because Kagome was not really a morning person sometimes the back up alarm would be needed to give her that extra little pep she need to get herself moving.

"That's much better." said Sango with a smile and a wink. "I'll be down stairs waiting for you so don't take to long, you have one hour got that?" she said with a pointed look towards Kagome.

With a vigorous shake of her head Kagome set about gathering the things she need to get ready for the day.

Entering the bathroom which was placed in her room she flicked the switch to her left. Beaming from the ceiling was warm colored lights that she had specifically installed in her bathroom so she wasn't blinded when they came on. They were the something like the kind of lights you find in the movie theaters but the home version.

First she heeded the frantic screams of nature before she stripped and walked into her single shower which was to the left of the toilet and at least. By taking five regular steps she was there. The tub not being connected to the shower wasn't exactly what any normal persons tub would look like but rather it looked as though someone put in a mini Jacuzzi. It was against the wall were the door connected to her room but it was in the middle of the room. The room it self was decorated in colors that made her feel comfortable. The walls were a cream color with sort of a rough texture. Everything else was done in blood red, black or white. The tub was black; the shower being black; and the toilet being white. The blood red colors were mainly the towels and wash cloths and the sheer material that were placed in swoops in the top corners of the bath room.

After taking a 15 minute shower she stepped out onto the plush blood red rug, its smoothness and warmth on her feet making her dread having to step onto the cold sand tiled floor.

Standing in front of her whit marble sink surrounded by a black marble counter she look at her self in the wide set mirror.

'Yep I have indeed come a long way, maybe not all the way but I'm closer than I was before.' she thought.

Looking at the reflection in the mirror what stared back at her was a young woman of about the age of 23. Her ebony hair reaching to the small of her back contained a natural blue tint gleaming silkily in the warm lighting and from the wetness of it. Her eyes a stunning shade of pale blue inherited from her mother because of some disease or another that has to do with lack of color pigment so her eyes were some what more to the effect of a blind person's eye just a little darker.

Her skin tone almost matching her sand colored tiles but being more of a light tan color. Her physique wasn't so bad though she was not the skinny girl of today she was still in good shape no matter what other people assessed from looking at her. No she wasn't as small as some but put it this way she could run up a flight of stairs and not have to huff and puff when she was through; thanks to Inuyasha's training from the seventh level of hell. Her curves, just one after the other complimenting each other. Nothing on her body was ill proportioned and her bodies shape was of an hour glass. Her breast were a nice size 41 D with a round and perkiness of their own. Her ass could make any grown man cry and her legs were firm and well toned acompanied with a little length.

All in all Kagome was a very beautiful creature; it's just a shame that not most people can see it including herself.

Coming down the spiral steps to the living room Kagome was dressed in a charcoal grey suit fit for a grandma and pumps that not even a grandma would were.

"Ok I'm ready to go" she said while putting her hair into a neat bun, little tendrils of hair escaping to frame her face.

Sango looking up and taking a look at what her best friend had the nerve to even let grace her closet and giving it a disapproving shake of the head.

"What?" asked Kagome

"Nothing, nothing at all lets just hurry and get to work; were running behind so no muffins this morning we'll have to wait till we get to the office for coffee."

"Gottcha, let's go"

Leaving their house at 7:07a.m they headed towards work. Taking it at least 13 minutes to get to work that left them 10 minutes to do what ever else they needed to before being late.

Both walking through the door together they threw a wave and a smile at the receptionist Keade.

"Good morning girls how are you two fairing this morning?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

The two girls walking towards the elevator, Sango pushed the button and they looked at her. The doors opening and they both stepped in but before the doors started to close Keade could see them dancing up a storm. Sango doing the cabbage patch and Kagome doing the swim.

Keade gave an elderly chuckle. Those two always did the same thing every morning; she would ask them how their morning faired and they would do some silly thing telling her without actually telling her.

On the elevator Sango and Kagome were laughing so hard tears were starting to form in there eyes.

"Oh my gosh I never get tired of doing that" replied Kagome

"I know what you mean" said Sango. "Ok now its serious time."

They both straightened up.

"Are you ready gogo?" asked Kagome

"Yeah, hurry and give me the pep talk before we get to our floor." Sango rushed.

"Alright, on the top floorah" Kagome started with a preachers voice. "There is an evilah. No not any regular evil but a great evilah."

Sango playing her part started shouting things like "preach" and "amen".

"When we get thereah to that top floorah what we gon' do?" asked Kagome.

"Work!" replied Sango.

"I said what we gon' do?"

"Work sista, work!!"

As Kagome threw her hands up she shouted "Amen sista amen" while Sango shouted a little and said "hallelujah"

This was how they were found once the doors opened. Stares from all across the office were directed at them.

They didn't notice until they heard a slight cough behind them.

They stopped immediately what they were doing and opened their eyes. Every one in the office was looking at them. Some with smiles others with indifference and one with a frown.

"Ladies are you quite done." Offered a voice in front of them.

It was Kagome's boss Inuyasha.

With their heads down but a smile on their faces they got of the elevator and both walked to their work stations.

Sango taking a right to enter her cubical and Kagome taking left to go down the hall were the president and vice president work.

"Oh look what the Hobo's dragged in, how you doin there grandma." Sneered Kagura.

She was the president of the companies' secretary. Why she wasn't his personal assistant was because her assistance became too personal if you know what I mean.

Her hair was always in a messy bun. She had eyes of a red hue with a body that could turn any man on. Her attire (If you could call it that) would at most times be very appropriate for her job had she not bought them in a child's size. Her all around apperence just screamed 'BITCH!!!!'

Kagome tried she really did but she just couldn't hold it in. "Oh you pour thing I hope the hobos didn't hurt you when they did drag you in." she retorted.

Kagura looked at her with detest. 'That fat pig isn't going to get one up on me' she thought. Well if they did drag me in I'm sure they wouldn't have a hard time was as they would need heavy artillery to get across the threshold.

Kagome just looked at her face blank and hands balled. 'Just one hit that's all I need; all I want is one hit' she thought.

Turning away abruptly she entered her bosses' office.

Sitting down at her desk across the room from Inuyashas' she turned on her computer sharpened her pencils and filed some documents and a couple of breathing exercises. 'This is going to be a long day.'
