The rain was coming down in sheets, drenching everything that didn't have enough sense to scurry for cover. To Kagome Higurashi, it capped off an already rotten day. And yet here she was, darting under every available cover, trying not to get soaked, on her way to a bar. She knew that she was just setting herself up for disappointment, since every man she attempted to date seemed to fail in one area or another. All except one, that is. And he wasn't exactly available.
With the way the past five years of her life had played out, she shouldn't have been surprised to find that she had fallen in love with her boss. But it did, and she had spent six miserable months trying to get him out of her mind. Hard to do when she saw him everyday, Monday through Friday. Their laughing conversations had dwin unt until they were non-existent, and the tension between them was so thick it could have choked. Now it was a miracle if he didn't snap at her at least once a day.
When she finally reached the bar, her hair was plastered to her head and her shirt, thankfully a dark green today, was in much the same state, highlighting her slim build. She stayed in the doorway for a moment to catch her breath, and to look and see if her friend was there yet. Thankfully, there Rin was, swirling a straw around in a drink, near the back of the bar. It was darker back there, easier to hide. Kagome slid onto one of the bar stools around the table, cursing her height all the while. "Hi Rin."
Rin looked up suddenly, apparently startled out of a daydream of some sort. "Oh! You made it!"
"I got caught in the rain," she explained.
Rin's face crunched a bit in sympathy. "Oh."
"So has anything interesting happened?"
"At work or here?"
Kagome let her displeasure show on her face. "Let's not bring work, or worse yet, school, into this."
Rin sighed and set her chin on her hand. "What did he do now?"
She sighed as well, shaking her head. "Which 'he'? Right now, they're both being assh." ."
"Let's start with your professor first. Then we'll deal with Inuyasha."
"If Professor Zims would just get that stick out of his ass and realize that not all women are going to be content to be barefoot and pregnant at home, I'd be acing that class. In fact, every other woman would have a better grade."
"He's not doing what I think he's doing, is he?"
"You bet that he is. I'll have a scotch on the rocks, thanks," she added to their waitress. "He's a bastard no doubt about it, but he's a tenured misogynistic bastard, and one that can get away with nearly anything short of murder."
"He hasn't tried to hit on you, has he?" Rin asked, a bit horrified.
"No, he hates me too much. I know that I'm probably one of the smartest people in the class, and I know that it burns him that a woman is doing what half the men in there can't. Of course," Kagome added slyly, "I suppose that I could be accused of cheating since I work in a law office and I'm surrounded by lawyers all day."
"You don't need their help, Kagome. You're so smart in that class because you work at it. And I know that you'll make a brilliant lawyer one day."
Kagome smiled. "Thanks, Rin."
"Now what did Inuyasha do?"
She sighed, all traces of her smile gone. "Professor Zims held me over from class, supposedly to talk to me about my 'slipping' grade, but he piled on some extra work for me 'by not paying attention in class.'" Her fingers made quotation marks in the air. Her hand swooped down to take a sip of her scotch. "So by him holding me over, I was late for work."
"Uh-oh."
"He didn't yell or anything, which I suppose that can be considered a minor miracle. He just looked at me with that look that said he was so disappointed." She sighed again. "And it withered me on the spot. Damn, I'm so weak when it comes to Inuyasha."
"I know the feeling. It's pretty hard to be in love with your boss."
"Tell me about it. God, this sounds like the plotline of a really cheesy romance novel. 'Girl is attracted to her half-demon boss. Will their love survive?'"
Rin giggled. "Yeah, it does."
She shrugged. "But it's the truth. Somehow I went from being mildly attracted to him to full-blown in love."
"What first attracted you to him?"
It was Kagome's turn to giggle. "Truthfully? His ears. I can't tell you how many times I've had to stop myself from just reaching up there and petting them." The wide smile softened. "Then once I saw inside the person that he is..." She shrugged. "I fell in love."
"So what do you plan on doing about it?"
"What can I do about it? He's my boss, and I sincerely doubt that he feels the same about me. And even if he did, I can't screw up anything, not with me graduating in less than a month."
"Have you gotten any offers?"
Kagome nodded, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "The DA's office called yesterday. It's peanuts compared to what I can make in a firm, but I think that I'm going to go with them."
"So you're leaving?"
"I'll still be around, Rin. But this position with the DA's office is practically my dream job."
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too, Rin. But no crytonitonight. It's Friday night, we have no work, I have no classes, and I intend for the both of us to be completely plastered by the time we pour ourselves into a cab for the night."
Rin smiled. "Sounds like fun."
Neither of the women noticed the twin heads of white, one with dog ears on top of his head, staring at the both of them with hungry looks.
Kagome didn't notice the sleek black sedan that was parked across the street when she got to her apartment building, completely soused. The driver of the vehicle watched her climb unsteadily up the steps and unlock the doors. Once she was inside, his hot amber gaze flicked upwards to where he knew her apartment was. He didn't move from the spot until he saw her lights flicker on. It was going to be a long damn month. He just hoped that he didn't wind up making her hate him. He started the car and drove away.

A month later, Kagome was sitting back at the bar, unshed tears welling in her eyes. Her colleagues, both from the DA's office and from Dairei, Hugh, and Crow, had thrown her a farewell/welcome bash. She had to laugh when she saw Miroku, who handled domestic abuse cases, get hit over the head by a female detective, who wore pink eye shadow and a murderous expression. Shippo, a cute baby-faced fox demon, shook his head at the display.
"I wish those two would just get together and end our torment already." Off Kagome's curious look, he explained further. "Those two have been attracted to each other from the first moment they met, and the betting pool about them has gone on just as long. But those two are so stubborn and hard-headed, that at this rate, they'll never see each other as anything more than a friendly adversary." He finished his drink and got off the barstool. "I'm going to go mingle. If you need anything, yell," he finished with a twinkle in his eye.
"I thought that he'd never leave," a gruffer male voice said as the owner of that voice sat down beside her.
Kagome couldn't stop her stomach from fluttering or stop her heartbeat from speeding up. She likewise couldn't stop the bright smile that sprung to her face.
"I honestly don't know where I'm going to find another secretary that kept me in line quite the way you did, Kagome."
She looked directly into the warm gold eyes of Inuyasha Dairei. "Are you mad?"
One of his ears canted a bit, giving him the look of a curious puppy. "This is your dream job, right?"
She nodded.
