Meeting gone wrong


The stench of cigars diverges throughout the room, billowing surge of smoke forming into masses of clouds moving in all directions. It was no ordinary bar or strip club one would be accustomed too, but rather those of the Akai ryuu Yakuza gang. The Akai ryuu owned most of eastern Japan and were one of the most deadly parties all through Japan. Business men continued to drink down their liquor beverages while the other continued to watch as different women came and went on the center stage. It was a well known fact that living in a world that consists of both demons and humans had its accordance with one another, despite demons having the upper-hand and them being in charge.

Boisterous bickering was put to rest as the main entrance opened and the sound of heavy boots echoed throughout the bar. Numerous pairs of eyes turned to the blatant footsteps that made its way to the corner of the room pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, before gracefully sitting down. Hush whispering continued but made sure to be as discreet as possible, for they were aware of the certain Youkai that had apparently made himself known. Upon seeing the dangerous youkai some made their way out the door while others watched with narrowed eyes, cautious of whom it was they were being observant with.

The lights in the room dimmed and one by one the dancers on the stage disappeared into the darkness until only one remained. A spotlight shown onto the woman dressed in a purple lacy corset, high black see-through leggings, and a pair of six inch stilettos. She turned around slowly her long brown hair put up into a secured pony tail swished from side to side as she seductively stride to the pole in the center of the stage. Music began to play and she swung her hips behind the slender pole, draping one leg over and spinning around it lifting up her other leg in the process. She was aware of the eyes roaming her body as she swayed to the music. She has been in the industry since the leader of the Akai Ryuu found her when she was but ten years old.

Though when a girl is among those of a gang or founded by one, they are either used for sex trafficking or being those of a plaything. Luckily Rin has never been subdued or played a part in either seeing as the leader Ryukotsusei took a liking to her and has not put her up for any missions of some sort. Although she was grateful that she did not have to be touched or touch anyone for that matter she was melancholy she could not leave for she belonged to him and only him. No matter how many times she tried to convince herself, she could not come to terms or deny the fact.

She continued to swing around the pole thankful that the darkness blocked out familiar faces she has come to acknowledge, but with all the darkness covering decent amount of faces, a pair of golden amber eyes seemed to glow throughout the room. She was use to the men and demons who came in regularly to stare at her with open lust and amusement, but those amber eyes were captivating and intimidating at the same time and made her feel somewhat exposed and vulnerable. Rin was now nineteen years of age and had left all her modesty behind when she was adopted into this life, though gazing into the mesmerizing eyes it was as if it had all transpired back into her being.

Gulping down the hard lump in the back of her throat, Rin diverted her gaze away from the stranger and finished up her routine spinning one last time before dropping to the ground in a split. She made sure to keep her head bowed low as to not make eye contact with any member of the Akai. She was aware of the attraction she had on them, and with most of the members being youkai it made her more nervous to be in their presence. She gracefully got to her feet nodding at the appreciation of their enjoyment of her performance and made her way behind the back of the curtains and into the dressing room with the other dancers.

Deep amber hues narrowed at the retreating figure of one of the Call girl's who had just finished her exhibition. It had irked him that someone lowly as her, would dare look him straight in the eye. Inhaling from his second cigarette, Sesshomaru nonchalantly exhaled the toxin from his parted lips rubbing his temples ignoring the nagging in the back of his head to kill something; there would be enough of that for later. He knew of the risk coming here on his own, he was after all in enemy territory. His father was the leader of the Inu no Tiasho gang that settled and own the entire western part of Japan. They were the most powerful even more than the Akai and probably more dangerous. The only difference between the rivals was that the Inu no Tiasho's didn't see it necessary to sex traffic their females, they were more put to use as concubines and mistresses, though Sesshomaru's father had took one as his own. He was the first to break one of the Yakuza laws, and is why they are the most hated.

Shaking his head clearing his mind of all unimportant thoughts, Sesshomaru had to stay focus on the task in front of him. A private meeting or negotiation of understanding to be precise was to be addressed by him and one of Ryukotsusei's trusted cohorts. Both leaders were aware of the two meeting each other and had ordered a temporary truce for the time being. But what Ryukotsusei failed to notice was the Inu Taisho's don't necessarily agree to such idiocy ignorance, that's why they are always one step ahead of the others. Sesshomaru discarded his cigarette, and sat patiently for the henchman to make his appearance.

Clicking of what would seem like heels hesitantly approached him from his side and stopped a few inches from the table. He had been laid back against his chair, feet up on top of the rounded table, and his face hidden in the shadows. The woman before him was not able to see a clear view of his face, but he on the other hand could make her out perfectly. Her long wavy tresses of brown hair stopped just above the curves of her hips. Her eyes were like a cinnamon shade of dark brown, and her lips were fully plumped a pink shade of lip gloss giving her a pouty look. His eyes traveled along her body taking in her nicely shaped hips, long luscious legs and her well endowed breasts. He hated to admit it but she was damn beautiful. He could see now, why both the humans and demons looked at her so.

"Umm. . . .Hi, is there anything I can get you?" She timidly asked keeping her head bowed.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes taking in the sweet sound of her voice. It was so soft, yet high and had an almost melodic tune to it. He opened his eyes and leaned forward brining his feet down from the table and staring at her with his arms crossed over his chest.

A quiet gasped escaped Rin as a pair of familiar amber eyes stared back at her intently. She wasn't able to see his face before, due to the lighting, but now that she could see him she was at a loss for words. She had thought that the eyes would've belonged to that of a human, but she was wrongly mistaken. Her eyes looked at his face, eyeing the two magenta stripes on each side of his cheek and the blue crescent moon on his forehead. She was sure he was a full Youkai. She noticed that his beautiful silver was indeed longer than hers, and she almost felt self-conscious as she wished her hair was as nice as his. She knew she was human and humans were nowhere near as beautiful as demons, but she could not help but let her emotions cloud her mind. Her eyes slightly widened as a though popped in her head.

He. . . .he saw me on stage, I. . .he saw me staring at him! Oh kami how embarrassing! A frustrated yet mortified whine escaped her mouth before she could stop it and she quickly covered her mouth as the demon before her raised an eyebrow in question. The sound she made piqued up Sesshomaru's curiosity, for the sound wasn't one of unpleasant but rather the opposite. Rin's face began to blush as she cleared her throat letting out a nervous laugh.

"S-sorry about that, I was just. . . .Uhh-"She was cut off by a raise of his hand. She noticed his face had become serious all of a sudden. If there was one thing Sesshomaru could not stand more than anything, it was stammering women.

"If you would kindly excuse yourself from my presence Onna, I would gladly appreciate it. You're blubbering nonsense and human decorum is being wasted on someone who could care less." He glared as she began to mumble apologies while vigorously nodding her head.

He watched as she hurried away as quick as possible, and unconsciously begun to rub his temples again. He regretted not asking her for a beer when she asked, but he was absent-minded to even pay attention to what she was saying. Sure, he was interested in women and had done away with a few, but with a war waging on between his gang and the Akai, there was no room in his schedule for a good fuck. Let alone that fuck being a ningen woman. He leaned back in his chair watching as a pair of shoji doors slid open, revealing the person he had been waiting for. He inwardly smirked at the fact that Ryukotsusei would entrust a mere human, to be his cohort. He continued to stare intently as the man pulled up a chair from a nearby table and sat directly in front of Sesshomaru.

The man smugly cleared his throat."Sesshomaru."

"Hachirou." Sesshomaru sneered narrowing his eyes deeper. It was one thing to disrespect a highly demon of a powerful gang, but to be disrespected by a human, was just a slap in the face.

"Now, now Sesshomaru, don't forget who's club you're in. We wouldn't want the son of the great Inu youkai gang harmed from a mere misunderstanding now would we?" he taunted grinning at the threat he knew would rattle up the youkai.

Sesshomaru simply smirked at the arrogance radiating from the lowly human, who thinks a futile threat would have him shaken. It meant nothing coming from a weakling such as Hachirou. The youkai knew none of the demons, let alone humans that were left in the club were enough to take him down. It was all unavailing in his eyes and sheer stupidity from the human's part.

"As if your nonsensical retort has any meaning to this Sesshomaru, it is you that would not want to be harmed, because of an incoherent misunderstanding." Sesshomaru smirked watching as a bead of sweat rolled down his face.

"Alright then, shall we put aside our differences and discuss what we came here to do?" He inquired crossing one leg over the other adjusting the bottom of his pants.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes picking up the visible gesture he failed to quickly fix. Being a full demon had its perks, per say, strength being one and quickness being the other. Even if Hachirou were to pull out his glock he would be nowhere near fast enough to do any serious damage. Hence, he would be sure of himself if his legs being crossed, Sesshomaru would fail to dodge it. He slowly shook his head smirk still in place at how belittle humans can be, especially when they feel at ease with a weapon by their side.

"Yes, and my father and I have come to a conclusion," His smirk fully gone, face serious as before."The answer is no."

Hachirou's eyes narrowed threateningly, and he abruptly stood from his chair pulling out his glock and aiming it at Sesshomaru's chest, said stoic demon sat not moving or seeming faced by his actions.

He cocked his gun."You just made the biggest mistake of your life, demon."

The sound of rounds being shot off filled the room as, humans and demons scattered around the club hiding for cover. Screams echoed through the room as the woman hurriedly ran out the front doors. Hachirou waited for the smoke to clear, but as it did he saw no trace of the demon who sat before him. Just as he was about to reload his gun, a hand shot out and grabbed him by the neck hoisting him up off his feet and leaving him hanging in the air.

"I believe it is you who has made the mistake, human."

Before he could utter a single word, Sesshomaru snapped his neck then threw him to the floor. He looked around only to notice the club had been evacuated, and he knew he had to leave before the other henchman brought more comrades to Hachirou's aid. Just as he was about to make his exit, the sound of a bottle shattering to the floor made him turn around, only to spot the young onna from earlier.

Rin had been hiding on the side of the stage, her head tucked in her knees, when she heard faint footsteps approaching her. A terrified squeak escaped her as she was pulled up roughly by her arm. She shut her eyes tightly; hoping whoever it was would let her go. She began to shake as she felt a pair of clawed hands grab her by the chin bringing her face closer to the unknown person before her. Rin could feel the beings breath on her neck.

"Open your eyes."

As if by some force, she weakly opened her eyes and gasped as a pair of amber stared back into hers. She started to blush furiously as he brought his head down to her neck and took in a big inhale of breath. He unceremoniously dropped her to the ground. Dumbfounded she looked back up at the now crimson hues and she flinched when he suddenly bent down so he was eye level with her.

"Be sure to send my regards to Ryukotsusei, the next time you see him." He said nonchalantly standing back up to his full height. Rin tilted her head, not sure as to whether or not she should question his request or not. By the way he said it; it had been more of an order.

"H-how did you know I. . . . ." She trailed of looking down at her hands that sat in her lap. She yelped as a pair of strong arms lifted her onto her feet.

Before she could finish her sentence Sesshomaru began to walk away towards the exit. She sighed of relief but stopped when she noticed he halted his steps. She gulped feeling anxious as to what he would do next. Sesshomaru smirked sensing the fear coming from her but did not bother to turn around.

"Calm yourself onna, I have kept you alive for one reason and one reason only. That is to make sure Ryukotsusei gets my message. I'm sure you two are rather close judging by his scent all over you. But make no mistake; I will kill him and those who stand with him." And with that Sesshomaru left not giving her a chance to correct his accusation.

Rin shakily walked around the dead bodies that were scattered around the room before fleeing the scene. Though he was right, they were kind of close not that she had a choice in the matter, but rin was not sure what to tell him exactly. Would Ryukotsusei be suspicious that the demon did not kill her? Shaking her head she made her way to her car, and drove off to the direction of her home. She knew that the war between her captor and the other demon who she guessed was a rival would now get even more intense. She just hoped that she would not get involved in anyway. . . . . . .
