The Job Interview

 

By alilangel

 

Kagome slowly walked out of the elevator and headed toward Inuyasha Taisho's office. Slowly going over what she was going to say in her mind she kept her pace slow. She didn't know why but she was extremely nervous. She had heard that Inuyasha was stubborn, rude, and had a nasty temper, sometimes firing somebody for forgetting to put cream in his coffee.

 

Kagome opened the door and slowly entered. She was greeted by a smiling face. “HI! Are you here for the secretary position?” Kagome looked at the woman standing in front of her. She was about petite brunette with sparkling hazel eyes. She seemed friendly enough.

 

“Yes, I am. Has it already been filled?” Kagome said somewhat surprised. The other woman smiled at her, instantly taking a liking to her. She couldn't help but hope that Inuyasha would give her the job.

 

“No it hasn't. I'm Rin.” She said extending her hand. Kagome shook it. “Kagome Higurashi.” Kagome replied warmly. She instantly took a liking to Rin. There was warmth to her that many people didn't have anymore in the world.

 

“Are you Inuyasha's current secretary?” Kagome asked. She couldn't help but be curious. If Rin was his current secretary she couldn't help but wonder why she was leaving.

 

Rin smiled at her. “No. I'm engaged to his older brother Sesshomaru. I'm just currently helping out Inuyasha around here while he searches for another secretary.” Kagome's mouth formed a silent `oh'. Before she could speak a voice sounded from the doorway.

 

“What are you doing here?” Kagome whirled around and looked into a pair of golden-amber eyes narrowed in suspicion. “I- I'm here for the job interview. I'm Kagome Higurashi,” she managed to squeak.

 

Inuyasha slowly let his gaze roam over the woman standing in front of him. He had to admit that she was a stunning creature with her black almost blue hair and her blue eyes. He could get lost in those eyes he decided. He then moved his gaze over her figure and instantly liked what he saw. Clearing his throat he turned to Rin.

 

“Send her in in ten minutes. I'll conduct the interview then.” Letting his gaze run over the girl in front of him one more time he excused himself and went into his office to call Shippo about her.

Kagome couldn't help but be intimidated by the man as he left. She let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding as the door closed to the side of her. She turned to Rin and found her smiling. “Is he always so cranky,” she asked smiling softly back.

 

“No, once you get to know him hes a big teddy bear. He just puts up a charade when he interview potential employees. I think he likes people to fear him. Just don't look into it to much.” Rin said shrugging slightly. They chatted for a few more minutes when Rin looked at the clock and told Kagome she could go in. She quickly said good luck and quickly disappeared leaving a frightened Kagome standing in front of the door leading to Inuyasha's office. She slowly lifted a hand getting ready to knock.

 

*******

Inuyasha sat at his desk looking over the information that Shippo had e-mailed over on her. It listed the basic information where she lived, went to school the basics. He quickly scanned it when an interesting fact caught his attention. It said that she was engaged and that it was an arranged marriage. He decided to call Myouga(A/n sorry if I spelled named wrong) and find out about his own engagement. He dialed in the number and waited for him to pick up. Myouga answered and Inuyasha quickly went to business. He asked his fathers right-hand man who he was engaged to.

*****

Myouga, the right hand man to Inuyasha's father answered his cell phone when it rang not expecting to hear Inuyasha's voice or to what he was asking. Inuyasha wanted to know the girls name that he was engaged to. Myouga quickly covered over his shock and said into the phone “Kagome Higurashi.” Inuyasha listened and hung up on the old man. Myouga slowly closed the cell phone and couldn't help but wonder why all of a sudden Inuyasha wanted to know.

*******

Inuyasha was in shock when he hung up the phone. He couldn't believe that the woman he was about to interview was his fiancée. He cracked a grin at this. He was going to enjoy this he decided. Lost in his thoughts he heard a soft knock and yelled enter. He saw Kagome entered and smirked inwardly. She looked scared but determined at the same time.

 

“Please have a seat Miss Higurashi.” Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and felt her nervousness start to get the better of her but she instantly pushed it down. She wasn't going to let him intimidate her she decided. She moved toward the seat that he had indicated and looked up to meet his gaze.

 

Inuyasha watched her and decided to begin when she looked at him. “Your resume is very impressive. All of your references highly recommended you and Rin has also taken a liking to you. This might seem unusual to you but I am in dire need of a secretary as today is Rin's last day. I would like to hire you on a temporary basis and see how it works out. What do you say?”

 

Kagome looked at Inuyasha in disbelief. She couldn't believe that he was just offering the job just like that. She quickly ran over all the choices in her head. She definitely needed the money and he seemed alright. He might intimidate her but she felt that they could get along. Taking a deep breath Kagome answered him. “I would like the job, sir. What time do I need to be here tomorrow?”

 

Inuyasha sat back at Kagome's answer and smiled. “Be here tomorrow at 9 sharp. I will already be here and will show you around then. Good day.” He said turning around. Kagome took that as her sign to leave and got up. She was bursting with joy. She almost ran toward the door but held herself in check, not wanting to look like an idiot in front of her new boss.

 

She walked out of his office and spotted Rin. Rin looked up at her and smiled at seeing Kagome's face. “Did you get the job?”

 

“Yes!” Both girls ran toward each other and giggled jumping up and down. Inuyasha listened at the shouts of joy from the other side of the door and couldn't stop a grin from appearing on his face. He was definitely looking forward to working with and getting to know his fiancé.
