The Cost You'll Pay

By The Eternal

Chapter 1

"Do you know this corporation is on its way to bankrupt?"

The female voice heard behind the door.

"Yes! I know it! Thanks for remind me!" heard another male voice from the room.

"Can't you see?!! This company is going to way down! And you act like you never care!" said the woman. "And how about our engagement, Inuyasha?"

"I don't care!" yelled the man. "Just shut up and get your butt out of here, Kikyou! Please leave me alone!"

"Oh~! You~~!" the woman seemed couldn't said anything again. The sound of the high-heeled shoes heard closer and closer to the door.

Kagome Higurashi gasped slightly when the door opened. A pretty woman in a very expensive suit stepped out from the room with glistened eyes. Her long black hair hung loosely, covered her sad face.

She was Kikyou Yamada, the fiancée of Inuyasha Hamoto. Inuyasha was the President Director of this 'Inu. Inc'

Kagome stared carefully at her. Her face seemed so sad but that didn't cover her beautiful face. Kikyou walked quickly to the elevator. She pushed the button repeatedly.

Did they fight again? Thought Kagome, still staring at the woman who already stepped inside the elevator.

She was still staring at her when the red light at the phone blinked.

"Okay," she sighed. Get back to the job!

Kagome pushed the blue button. "Yes, Sir?" she asked.

"Kagome, get in here. I have to tell you something about. Now," Inuyasha's voice heard in at the speakerphone.

"Right away, Sir," she answered.

How long already she worked here? One month? Seven month? No. Five years already she had been in this company and five years already she loved her boss. Even though he already had a beautiful fiancée that beautiful hundred times than her.

Well, what could she do? Maybe it was her destiny. Fell in love with someone engaged.

She shook her head quickly. She stood up from her seat and stepped silently to the door.

Rain was falling outside. No wonder why the sky seemed cloudy all day. The sound of thunder heard from distance. The street was almost empty because everybody was taking shelter from the rain.

Kagome watched the rain behind the glass window. She stared blankly to the street. A black long hair woman was sitting in front of her. Her hair tied into a ponytail. She was Sango Ishihara, Kagome's best friend since high school. She worked two blocks from 'Yasha. Inc' building.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Sango, drinking her coffee. "No one or thing can help you now."

Kagome looked sadly at the papers. She just caressed it with tip of her finger then sighed again.

"But, Sango, if you look at someone you love is suffering, what would you do? Just watch him and do nothing?" Kagome asked her. Sango just shrugged.

"How should I know? The last man I fell in love was a jerk," she answered. Kagome silenced. She sighed again. "Yeah, anyway I don't know how to save an almost bankrupt company. What do you think? Just forget it, Kagome! Trust me! You don't love him!"

"Yes I do love him," Kagome snapped Sango. "You never know how it feel!"

Sango rolled her eyes with irritated feeling. "Fine... fine," she said, swaying her hand. "Do what ever you want."

"Like what?"

"Like what? You asked me 'Like what'? Gezz.... How should I know?" Sango repeated her question. Kagome sighed in desperate. She drank her drink and watched the rain again. Her mind was wondering about the company and its future. Was it wrong if you want to help the company or the man you loved?

"Hey, Kagome, look at this."

Kagome saw Sango's face. "What?"

"This!" Sango showed her 'Real Business' magazine. She pointed at the cover model. A seemed really success man was standing with cold face and almost no expression. She can guaranteed that he wore an Armani suit. His hair color was silver, very beautiful silver. His silver hair hung loosely up to his shoulder. His face was really beautiful. His face was even prettier than her.

"Who is that?" Kagome moved her face closer to the cover.

"Geez, Kag... Can you see that his face has a similarity to your 'Love?'" Kagome narrowed her eyes. She studied his face carefully. She seemed still didn't recognize it.

"He is Inuyasha's half brother!" Sango almost shouted, half irritated with Kagome's slow memory.

"Look! It said that he is the most success businessman in this year. Seshoumaru Hamoto. Wow. It is so cool! Better you fall in love with him, Kag." Sango chuckled.

"Let me see that." Kagome grabbed the magazine. She read the big red font beside the picture. It said,' Seshoumaru Hamoto, The Most Success Man for this year.' "What company does he running?"

Sango raised her shoulder. "Don't know. Just check the article."

Kagome turned the pages quickly. "Seshoumaru Hamoto, Presiden Director of Yasha Inc," she read the article loudly. She looked at Sango with quizzical look. "Yasha Inc? I think I've heard that name. Somewhere..." Kagome frowned her forehead.

"You still haven't realize it?! Oh My.... That is one of the big three company in this country! That huge company is really great and big! They have investments everywhere! They have oil company around the world, one of the main supplier that make hardware for computer, insurance company, oh..don't forget the electricity too, farm... then... Oh too many. Almost all of natural resources those are in this country, they have it! Almost all of them!" Sango said with excitement. She looked back again at Kagome who was still staring blankly at the article. "Kagome...? Kag..? Hello...?"

"Oh, uh. Yeah. I'm sorry," Kagome answered hastily. She kneaded the magazine nervously. She licked her lips quickly. "Oh, Sango, may I borrow this?"

"Kag, are you sure you are okay? Why you~~ suddenly~~"

"May I borrow this, Sango?" she repeated her question louder.

"Yeah.Sure," Sango answered, still confused with her friend attitude. Kagome inserted her papers to her bag hurriedly. She finished her coffee just in seconds. "Kag~~?"

"Goodbye, Sango. Thanks for the coffee, okay? Good bye." She said than she rushed to the café entrance, opened the door and went away crossed the street.

Kagome held the magazine tightly. She stared at the picture. Will Inuyasha's brother help his brother's company? Kagome wondered. He will, she convinced her self.

How about he won't? Asked another voice in her heart.

She will make him to. She promised. Anything. She will do anything, just to make him want to. At any cost.
