CHAPTER 31: YOU’VE GOT MAIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few hours later…
Kagome decided that she better instant message to Sango like she said she was. It had been a few hours after Kagome saw her best friend, and knew that Sango wasn’t the most patient person. Especially, when it came down to juicy gossip about herself.
Kagome normally wouldn’t do such things during work hours, but in her nervous adrenaline induced, fight or flight response caused her to be very productive. So much so, that she finished the pile of paper work in less than two hour and even got ahead in her work. Reason being was, because Kagome was trying to lose herself in her work and not think about that obscene threatening note the kept haunting her. She should tell Sesshoumaru but… ‘No buts, Kags tell him. Sesshoumaru will protect you. Some crazy psycho is out there stalking you, attempted to hurt you, maybe more, and your analyzing the situation!’ Kagome stared at the blanket computer screen, wondering off in her own little world when she was brought out of her stupor.
“You’ve got mail.” came that familiar computer animated male voice.
“OOOOiiiiiii!!!!!!!” Kagome nearly fell out of her chair from being startled by the voice. Her heart was threatening to stop on her from the unanticipated email. Kagome clicked on her mail box and opened the message.
From: Cute_one@inu.com/
To: Shrine_maiden@inu.com/
Kags are you there? Spill it already! I’m dying to know what happened. Why did you miss work? Why didn’t you answer your phone? Have you told any one else? What about you mother?..... Are you crazy?!
Kagome read Sango’s note, as usual, Sango’s questions were endless. She about laughed out loud at the last ridiculous question, but then again Kagome pondered that she might just be crazy.
From: Shrine_maiden@inu.com/
To: Cute_one@inu.com/
I’m here. But, before I tell you what happened, you have to promise me you won’t get upset. I know how you are Sango. You can get a little over zealous when things happen. I just want your reassurance, okay.
Sango’s maroon eyes widen a little at the message Kags sent her. There on the screen, Kags communicated more of a desperate sense of urgency in those pleading words. ‘Something bad must have happened or she wouldn’t write this.’
From: Cute_one@inu.com/
To: Shrine_maiden@inu.com/
Yeah, yeah Kags. Tell me now or I’m coming up there. I mean it!
Kagome giggled, she knew that Sango meant it. She quickly wrote her reply.
From: Shrine_maiden@inu.com/
To: Cute_one@inu.com/
Alright, but I warned you. I missed work on Tuesday because I was attacked on my way back home from shopping, on Monday evening. Sango, I was really scared. It was like the shadows were following me. Stalking me even, but I have no idea who would do this to me. All I remember is running down a dark ally, tripping, and then I completely blacked out. When I woke, next thing I realized, I was at my apartment with Sesshoumaru giving me the third degree! Uh, oh! Gotta go Inuyasha is yelling for me. Bye!
P.S. Friday night Sesshoumaru and I are having the engagement party. Dress formal. At seven p.m. at the palace. Be there. Please.
Kagome shut down the instant message program on her computer and went to the office door. “You yelled?” She asked, as she shot him a glare that read your still in the dog house!
Inuyasha gave Kagome a pleading look, the one she could never resist even if she was furious with him. He handed her a stack of papers and a small envelope. “Yeah Kags! I need you to run this over to Sesshoumaru’s company for me. As soon as possible, if you don’t mind.”
Inuyasha went back to sit behind his desk and continued to give Kags the puppy face. It was the one with the big round eyes and the pouting lower lip. His golden eyes, eyed his secretary, as she looked a little nervous. Yet, Kagome nodded in agreement. ‘Few,’ he thought, ‘she fell for it.’ Inuyasha smiled to himself. ‘Kags could never resist the puppy face for too long when she upset with me. It worked like a charm.’ But, Inuyasha thought that when he mention Sesshoumaru’s name Kagome looked at him as him he had grown another head. He shook it off.
“Oh! By the way Kags, we are having a company party tonight to celebrate the backer of the company. Also, the fact that that bastard Naraku wasn’t successful in the take over of my company. Your coming, right Kags? I won’t take no for an answer. I want you there.”
Kagome gave Inuyasha an odd look when she found out she would have to go to her fiancee’s company on an errand. She was beginning to feel a little strange. Kagome looked down at the letter with an outlandish intensity, and saw it had Sesshoumaru’s name on it. “Uh, sure I’ll be there.” Kagome said. She tried to be nonchalant at the next question she asked. “Hey, I know this is overstepping my bounds in all, but what exactly is it that I’m giving him?” Kagome acted as casual as possible trying not to draw to much attention.
“Oh, those?” Inuyasha said pointing to the load of papers in Kagome’s arms. “The papers are for the stock holder’s meeting, for father’s business, this coming week. You know, I’ve decided to start taking an interesting in the company.”
“Oh! Well then, I guess if that’s it...” Kagome started to turn around and go, but Inuyasha called her back.
“Also Kags, in that envelope, you have an invitation to give to that arrogant jerk. It’s for him, so that he can come to the party this evening. I don’t want him thinking that I’m struggling loser trying to maintain my company. Ha! That’ll show that egotistical asshole!”
Kagome almost dropped the papers in her hands. ‘Why me? Why, I ask you?’ “Do you think it wise? I mean you two really don’t get along.” Kagome tried to dissuade. ‘And once you find out that I’m engaged to him, you really, really are soooo not going to.’
“Sure, I want too. Sesshoumaru needs to know that I’m making it for myself without his help. I don’t need him.” Inuyasha finished with a huge grin on his face. “By the way Kags, you can have the rest of the day off after you dropped those papers off.”
’Peachy, just peachy!’ She grumbled, but she offered a cheery smile. Not about the fact she could leave work early, but it was more about where she was going.
Inuyasha could have sworn when he saw Kags turn to walk out of his office, he saw something shiny gleamed off of her finger. ‘But, that’s impossible!’ However, Inuyasha wasn’t to sure. ‘It can’t be a ring,’ he admonished, ‘especially, if it’s on her left hand.’ It almost blinded him when the sunlight hit it. ‘Nah,’ Inuyasha told himself, ‘it has to be a watch.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sesshoumaru’s office…
“Hello there, how can I help you?” Asked a man in his late twenties with light brown hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a navy blue pin stripped suite.
“I’m here to see Mr. Masurau.”
“Do you have an appointment?”
“No.”
“Well, I’m sorry Mr. Masurau can not see anyone without an appointment.” He finished with a naughty tone.
‘Oh yeah? You want to bet!’ Kagome felt like screaming. Instead, she looked at his plaque for his name. “Hojo Maranou, I am delivering important, personal documents from Inu-Search Inc. This was supposed to be delivered to Mr. Masurau right away. I don’t think he would appreciate you denying me…”
Somewhere in the background of Mr. Masurau’s lobby, a figure stood by watching. ‘Good, that little twit of a woman is distracting that loser secretary.’ the ravishing wind demoness thought, as she peered around the corner. ‘This is great,’ Kagura laughed to herself, as she slipped from the shadows toward to the massive double door that led into Sesshoumaru’s office. Her red eyes narrowed in glee at the fact that she was getting away with it. ‘Sesshoumaru, I know you want me. I just know you do.’ Luscious thin lips curled up into a seductive smirk. ‘You play hard to get, that’s all.
Meanwhile…
Sesshoumaru was looking over the latest business retainers and proposal reports on his desk. ‘This,’ Sesshoumaru thought grimly, ‘is going to take at least a week to review.’ He could feel a headache coming on, and in the distance, he heard his office door open slowly and quietly. Whoever it was, was trying to be discrete without being detected. It wasn’t working. ‘Must be Maranou,’ Sesshoumaru thought.
In the Lobby…
“I’m sorry, miss, is it?” grey eyes narrowed at the nuisance of a women, glaring at him. “I can not allow you to see Mr. Masarau, however; if you’d like, I could give him the documents if you would leave them with me.”
“I don’t think you understood me, HO-BO!” Kagome enunciated the syllables slowly, with the clear intent to substitute the ‘b’ for the ‘j’ on purpose. She was mad.
