I've had this idea bugging me from time to time for a few years, and finnnalllly, have decided to put it on paper… Erm…I meant word… Microsoft Word… :)
DISCLAIMER: I hate saying this, but yes, the truth is ……………that INUYASHA AND Sesshoumaru (FLUFFY) aren't mine…. Nothing is mine…except my computer… and my house now, and that Dior mascara I bought yesterday…and… okay, okay you get the idea :))
In the eye of the storm, one prepares.
« You'll see, thisSesshoumarupromises you, everything will end up fine. » he had said earlier, but for the first time of his life his heart was filled with doubt. He had allowed himself to care, to love and now to fear, not that one could get him to openly admit it.
Life had changed so much, yes; the once successful organization that his father had begun had grown well under Sesshoumaru's care. With time he became known to outsiders as a ruthless Businessman that commanded respect from everyone around, and to insiders well… an understatement it would be to say that he was feared.
Sitting in a black leather chair, he looked around; he was in an office. The office his people had created for him. They were ordered to follow his taste and to purchase only the best, even if for a temporary office.
'This lacks class and refinement, gladly we're leaving tonight.' he thought as he gave a disappointed glance to this office.
But of course how could one even dream of meeting the White's lord expectation, if the said lord has grown accustomed to sit in a throne, his 'other' office could compete with the throne room at the Hermitage. With a Crimson Red throne engraved with gold symbols and markings representing the House of the Inu's, his dark cherry-wood desk or the latest computer ware and of course who could ever forget the serene view reminding one of the Appalachian Mountains from the glass wall facing the door to his office. If allowed to enter this real office, one would be given a glimpse of it, he would feel as if he is entering the domain of a king, who guards and rules a land that appears so pure and peaceful and remain yet so unapproachable.
With the click of his fingers Jaken appeared in the room.
"Y-Yes, Master? How can I be of use?" He asked Sesshoumaru, eager to fulfill any task that would be required of him.
Sesshoumaru gave a brief glance to his briefcase before looking at Jaken again.
"Of C-course, Master I understand that we are leaving now, everything will be taken care of as expected" he said, hurrying to pick-up the briefcase.
Sesshoumaru was convinced that the 'toad' was now making a list of all he would need to do in order to 'take care of things as expected' such as: hiring a team to erase all traces of any incriminating activity, packing all his and Kagome's personal things, having their Domain prepared for their return, rearrange all the business meetings that had been entered in Sesshoumaru's agenda, and take care of all loose ties if some were left behind. Not an easy task to accomplish. 'Annoyingly loyal and efficient' would be how he would describe his assistant.
Although now not as young as he used to be Jaken remained a useful and discreet support and assistant of Sesshoumaru's. After the loss of Sesshoumaru's father all business and 'other' ties have been given to the young lord, and new to the environment he had quickly taken control of the organization and managed quite well since. He decided to keep Jaken in memory of his father; he knew that the 'toad' would have his uses.
He slowly stood up, shook the imaginary dust from his Armani Privé suit, took his cell phone, and walked out of the room where 3 of his body guards were waiting. They escorted him to his vehicle, got in theirs, and followed suit.
RRRRrrrrrinnnggg… He picked up his cell.
"Sesshy!!! I'm so happy we're going back, I missed Rin and Shippo so much! Do you think that we will have time to pick up something for them at the DutyFree at the airport? I'm sure they had fun with Inuyasha!" Kagome said in an excited voice.
"Hnn…" He answered back. 'More like he taught them how to behave like the mongrel that he is. THAT, I'm sure of… They did remain safe, maybe the HALF-brother does have his use after all…' he thought.
"Oh Sesshy! I love you, I really do. Thank you for reassuring me earlier." She said in an alluring whisper.
"Mate…I will see you soon" he gently answered back before hanging up. And with the soundproof walls and tinted windows in the car, 'Kagome, Ka-Go-me,' he repeated silently for himself and he remembered how she has entered his brother's and his life a long time ago when they had been almost simple students at McGill's university. He allowed himself to smile at the fond memory.
…………
Ok, I believe that this is a good place to stop; next chapter will be much lighter and more in Kagome's perspective.
Chap 2 preview :
"Why do 24 hours stores have chains on their doors?" asked Inuyasha during class.
'Uggghh… who else would think of such a question to ask a teacher and be seriously expecting an answer… Pathetic.' thought Sesshoumaru. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Erm... I'm not sure that this is related to our class, Mr. Taisho Junior, this is geography... Do you have any questions related to geography?" Asked Mr. Hojo with dread of the answer
"No... not at the moment" muttered Inuyasha disappointed.
Kagome, Sango and Miroku snickered and Mr. Hojo continued with his lecture.
Please be gentle in your reviews, remember this is my first attempt at writing a story. Tell me what you think!
See you soon :)
