Summary: Kagome Higurashi has just been hired as Head Cook in the Takahashi household. She knew it would be hard, but she didn't expect to be battling throughout the wife and husband's fights and the child's scheming cuteness. Least of all did she expect to fall in love with the currently divorced husband: Inuyasha Takahashi.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

'Well, here I go.' Higurashi Kagome thought as she walked up to the house for her interview and rang the bell. 'It can't be as bad as the last house. Oh, Kami, I hope not.' At the last house, an old man that smelled of sake and cigarettes had answered the door. Kagome took an instant dislike to him, and she hated him even more when the old man started hitting on her. Kagome got out of there as fast as possible. Kagome shook her head and sighed and went and rang the bell.

DING DONG

"H-hello?" a quiet voice asked. Kagome looked down to see a little boy that looked about the age of three looking through the door that was cracked open.

"Kai! GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!" a voice from the inside yelled.

A woman came running up and picked up the little boy in her arms. She opened the door all the way and invited Kagome in.

"Hello." She said after she put little boy Kai in another room. She bowed and continued talking. "Are you here for the Head Cook interview?"

"Yes. I'm Higurashi, Kagome. I have an appointment to see Mr. Takahashi-sama."

The nanny smiled. "Yes. Follow me."

Rather than having the interview in the Kitchen like Kagome expected, she was shown into a large study at the back of the hall.

"Mr. Takahashi-sama will be with you soon." She turned to leave, but turned and smiled and said something to Kagome before she left. "I'm warning you, he's in a bad mood. Remain business like, but try your hardest to get the job. Good luck."

She walked out of the room and Kagome was left thinking about what she was going to say in the interview. She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice when someone walked into the room until the person coughed. Kagome then realized that someone was behind her. She immediately jumped up and bowed. The man walked around her and sat behind his desk. He motioned for her to sit and she did so.

'So this is the famous Inuyasha Takahashi. Ayame was right, he is pretty hot. He looks like such a hard-ass though. Oh well. I need this job. I'll just have to get through it somehow.'

"Higurashi, Kagome," Inuyasha Takahashi started reading out. "26 years of age; Masters degree in Cooking and Hotel Management. Has worked in various kitchens since high school." He put down her résumé and looked at her. "Miss Higurashi, tell me why I should hire you."

Kagome spent a total of two seconds thinking before taking a deep breath and started talking.

"If you hire me, I promise you that it will be one of the smartest decisions that you will ever decide to do. The only good food is from people with the love of cooking and cooking is my life and my passion. To have someone in your house that feels that way would be sheer genius." Kagome got caught up in was she was saying, giving Inuyasha a chance to observe her.

'She looks just like Her. I don't think that that would be such a good think for Kai. Not at this point and time at least. But her résumé is the best one I've seen out of the thousands that I got.'

"-plus, I can make anything. Tell me anything from any type of cuisine that you want, and I can make it with very few exceptions."

"Would you like to see the kitchen?" Inuyasha asked her before he could realize what he said.

Kagome's face lit up. "Yes. I-I'd love to!"

Inuyasha got up and had her follow him to the kitchen. Kagome tried to remember where she went, but it was so confusing! A left at the second hall, past the game room, down two flights of stairs, through the first gym, up one flight, right at the sauna, third right past the second gym and then through the oak doors until they finally came to the Kitchens.

Kagome blinked when she walked through the doors. The place so big that four of Kagome's kitchens could fit in it with room to spare. The counter tops were made of marble and everything gleamed! The oven; the fridge; the stove; everything! Kagome's head swirled around and around with her looking at all the silver gleam that she saw out of the corner of her eyes.

"This kitchen… it's… amazing." she told Inuyasha breathlessly.

"Glad you like it," was his only reply. "Feel free to look around."

Kagome started opening cabinets and drawers and her amazement never faltered.

'This place is HUGE! Oh, I wish this was my Kitchen.'

'You never know. If he hires you, it could be yours.' Kagome's Nice Voice said.

'It IS nice. But Inuyasha Takahashi's even nicer.' Evil Voice interjected.

'What are you talking about? You saw the way he was talking! The only nice thing about him is that he'll pay well. This is a large house to feed.'

'Whatever.'

'Evil, will you not be quiet for once. You can't like your boss no matter who he is!'

Kagome heard her Evil voice snort and answer. 'There are millions of girls out there who would LOVE to work for Inuyasha AND be in love with him at the same time.'

'No. I'm telling you that since he's her boss, she can't do that.' Nice Voice exclaimed.

'And I'm telling YOU that so long as he doesn't find out, it's fine!'

'Shut-up! I don't even like him. Yes, he's hot. Very hot. But that does NOT mean that I have feelings for him. Kami, I just met the dude!'

'Fine.' Kagome heard something that would be considered a sigh from her voices.

'I swear that they get the idea for acting like that from Christie's voices in Dramacon. Whatever.'

"So, Miss Higurashi, will you take the job?" Inuyasha asked her from the opposite side of the kitchen.

Kagome turned back to Inuyasha. Her face looked serious, but you could see the ends starting to form a smile.

"Mr. Takahashi-sama," she took a deep breath and continued, "I would love to take the job."

"Good. I'll give you the weekend to get ready. You can start on Monday."

"Sir?" Kagome tilted her head and Inuyasha saw she was puzzled. He looked at her a saw a look of confusion on her face. "You will live in this house Miss Higurashi. I will email further instructions to your computer. RIN!"

The nanny from before walked into the room.

"Inuyasha, will you please be quiet! I just put Kai down for a nap." The nanny Rin scolded Inuyasha with a swat of her hand on his shoulder. Inuyasha just growled at her. Kagome could tell that their relationship went beyond business. Inuyasha started talking to Kagome again after he finished whispering something to Rin.

"Rin will show you everything when you first come. I expect you to have everything ready here by Sunday night. You will start on Monday breakfast. Rin," he turned towards the other girl, "show Miss Higurashi out."

"Sure Inuyasha."

He growled again. "I am still your employer!"

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go Kagome."

Rin led Kagome out of the kitchen and through a maze of hallways. "I'm very glad that you're going to be working here. Kai will be excited."

"Kai. Is he that little boy that opened the door?"

Rin giggled. "Yep. He's the heir to the second largest fortune in Japan, the first largest being his Uncle's. I'll email you any other info that you'll need to know. Will you need any help moving your stuff over on Sunday?"

"N-no, I'll be alright."

"Good. See you in two days Kagome." Rin the opened the front door (Kagome didn't even realize that they were there since she got confused all over) and waved good-bye. Kagome said 'good-bye' back and walked to her car and drove home.

When she got home, she threw her stuff to the side and plopped down on the couch.

'Wow. I can't believe that I actually got the job. This has got to be my break. After I get enough cash saved up after a few years, I can finally open up that restaurant!' Kagome thought as she saw her cell sitting on the coffee table and sighed. 'I better call Sango and cancel tomorrow.'

After having her best friend Sango Yue scream in Kagome's ear that she's coming over tomorrow to help, Kagome fell back onto the bed.

"God, today was so long." Kagome said out loud as she yawned. "So...very... tired..." Kagome fell asleep right there on the couch and dreamt of cakes and cookies dancing around in her head saying 'hi'.

Lord, could she not wait until Sunday.
