Phae’s Word Prompts: Ambitious

…

            Kagome wasn’t ambitious and she didn’t want much in life. In fact, she would be happy with a house, a boyfriend, and oden for dinner.

            Unfortunately, her unambitious nature had brought her nothing but trouble in the form of a self-possessed daiyoukai who made her subject to his every whim.

            She wondered if she should consider becoming ambitious; at least ambitious enough to get promoted from her current position of personal assistant to the devil. Or, the lord of the west. Yeah, that’s what she meant.

            Kagome tentatively poked her head into her boss’s office. She shivered at the cold atmosphere.

            “Um… Sesshomaru-sama?” she began meekly.

            “Enter,” came his cold voice.

            Kagome gulped, and walked in. She closed the door behind her and fidgeted as his golden eyes locked onto her.

            “Remember when I was asking you if I could have tomorrow off?”

            “Yes.”

            “Can I?” she squeaked.

            “Yes.”

            “I can?” she asked again, disbelieving.

            “Do not make me repeat myself, Higurashi.”

            “Of course not! Thank you sir!”

            Squealing, Kagome turned around. “I can finally go on my date!” she whispered.

            Suddenly, her boss appeared in front of her.

            “I have changed my mind. You will be working tomorrow.”

            “What?!”

…

Poor Kagome.

She should have waited until she was out of his hearing range.

Don’t underestimate an Inu’s hearing!
