Devious Innocence
Chapter one: Meeting the devious devil
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
The name is Sesshomaru Taisho. I'm fifteen. Long silver hair (there is a difference between silver and the white people confuse it with)down to my ankles. I have gold eyes, an indigo crescent moon on my forehead, elfin shaped ears. There are two maroon stripes on each of my cheeks, my demonic markings which are also in places I'd rather not mention at the moment. I'm an inu youkai in case you dumb asses out there couldn't realize it. Not to mention I'm five foot ten.
There's this band I'm in, The Void of Soul. It's pretty much rock pushing metal. I'm lead singer and we have a self released album, The Void of Soul (debut album). We're working on getting getting a show case and I'm utterly bored, not to mention annoyed. My brother, Inuyasha, that worthless hanyou, and his friends are so fucking loud.
I'm in my studio and I can still hear their noisy asses. Not to mention all their asses stink like shit, not even my cigarette can over power their foul stench. God, it's so damn quiet, I may as well tune my guitar.
One last interesting thing about me, there's a sweet little nick name people like to call me. Satan. In my fifteen years of living, I've killed twice as many people. That's thirty for you dumb-shits. Of course, it was no one who didn't deserve it. Just some rapists, drug dealers trying to fuck with me and some dirty old men. Every time I killed them, I brought them back with Tenseiga. There is always one question I ask when they're are breathing again.
"...When you went to hell, who greeted you at the door?" The response is always the same; "You". I love that look of fear on their face when they open their eyes. It's priceless, it's one look that makes me go to sleep at night. The memory of the scent of fresh blood, their eyes wide with fear, if I was actually greeting them at the doors of hell, I'm sure the torture would have been unbearable.
For some reason, these thoughts only make my cigarette more enjoyable than before.
At this moment in time, the door to my private studio was opened. I find it insatiably rude that people think that just because a door is unlocked, it means they are allowed to grace me with their unwanted presence. My almost bearable day is officially ruined. "Have you ever heard of knocking? That's why the door was closed" I demanded with a long drag of my cigarette.
Some little girl who I do not recognize as the usual imbeciles that hang around my brother comes in and huffs at me. I raise an eyebrow to this female and blow smoke through my nostrils. She makes a face of disgust and proceeds to come near me. "Obviously you are lost. No one is allowed up here with out facing serious consequences. How ever, since you are new to this household, I will give you one warning...Get out" I command with a slight growl of my voice.
"Don't get your panties in a twist. I just came to get your guitar." The girl snaps and reaches for what I refer to as my...baby. Her name is Yuzuki and is a navy blue and pearl colored electric guitar. No one but me and the man who sold it to me has ever touched it since it has been in my possession. That rule shall not break now as I see this unknown girl reach for it.
I grab her wrist and yank her away from my Yuzuki. "Hasn't your mother taught you any manners. Never touch what is not yours. Especially when it belongs to me. State your name and take this as warning" I growl in her face, knowing she is frightened. "K-Kagome Higurashi" She stutters and drops her hand away from Yuzuki. That will show her some manners hopefully.
"State your business" I snarl before straightening up on my stool to get a new cigarette seeing as my old one burned out ages ago. "I-Inuyasha told me to come get your guitar because he wanted to show us something. He said get yours because one of the strings broke" Kagome murmured.
"Tell him" I pause to give a sick grin, one that someone only sees before they die and after they are brought back. "That tonight he may have a visit from Satan and to keep his little bitches" I pause to glare at this Kagome "Out of my studio. Remind him as well, Tenseiga only works once, we wouldn't want an unfortunate accident in which case he can't be brought back" I grin at the thought of that nuisance out of my life forever.
My father doesn't understand why I'm so 'uptight' about my studio. For starters, it my apartment, which I pay rent on although it is on my fathers property. It is my secluded space away from people, but also where I conduct business. Though I could care less about anyone in this household, I would rather not have to kill them because of what they may have heard. It's a waste of my time and theirs because when I bring them back they cry and beg me to spare them. Innocent lives shouldn't be taken because of their stupidity.
Oh, this girl is talking. "Are you listening to me! Who the hell is Satan, and I'm not a bitch-" I interrupt her. "What are you, eight? Aren't you a little young to be cursing...and wearing a tube top?" I sigh, a hint of annoyance in my tone. I want her to leave. It's almost five and an important client is stopping by. "I'm twelve, and aren't you a little young to be smoking?" She retorts.
I walk away and to my closet. There is a box on the top shelf, Tokijin. I grip the hilt and feel it's powerful aura wash over me. Cracking my neck, I answer Kagome's previous question. "You asked who Satan is. Take a look into my eyes and see how long you live." I challenge. Kagome looks up into my eyes and gasps. I wonder if she sees what other women have said. "Now what do you see?" I ask.
"Death, cruelty, raw...anger. How can you be so inhumane?" Kagome questions. "Simple, I am not human. Now tell me, did you feel that little piece of your innocence die away?" I reply, letting a small purr rumble in my chest. "Y-yes" Kagome nods. "What do you see in other people's eyes?" I smirk as she thinks about it. "Lies, deceit, compassion love, confusion, jealousy" She lists, realization slowly creeps into her eyes.
"So tell me Kagome, who am I?" I smile at her. "Satan" she whispers. "Glad you understand. Surely you have heard my name somewhere. Ask anyone on the street who it is, all they can tell you is the angel with gold eyes" I hum happily. "Satan. I'm here for my appointment" I hear gruff voice from outside. "The door is open" I call. Kagome inches towards it as though I would not sense her.
"Stay. You shall witness Satan" I order. My client, Ryukaze Tokugawa walks in and takes a seat on a spare stool. "So, you got my order?" He bluntly asks. "80 kilo of pure uncut cocaine coming your way. Wait here" I nod as I get up and walk to a different closet to get his supply. I sit back down on my stool with the box of coke on my lap. "Now, do you have 250,000,000 yen for me? Wait, best costumer discount brings it to... 185,000,000 yen." I explain. "C'mon Satan. I'm your best costumer! Cut me some slack" Tokugawa laughs as he slowly reaches for the drugs.
Does he think I'm an idiot? Not to mention, what is up with everyone grabbing my shit like that today? "Keep your hand off me. How much can you pay?" I sneer. "About 1,000 yen" Tokugawa laughs. I stay impassive as I reach into my pocket and grab my gun. This fool really thinks I play. "Tokugawa, get the fuck outta my sight before I kill. And this time I won't bring you back" I growl.
He gets, eying the box and slowly makes his way to the door. Then he stops, seeing Kagome standing by it. "Well hello little girl. Why are you hanging around big old mean Satan. Don't you know he'll kill you?" Tokugawa coos. Kagome backs away, towards me. "Tokugawa. You are trying my patience. Get out now. The girl is none of your concern" I say through gritted teeth. I really hate being defied. If anyone in Japan has learned one valuable lesson, it's not to defy Satan and you can get somewhere in life. One simple rule this man is continuing to break.
"Oh, is this your little girlfriend. She's kinda young don't you think? You trying to get put away for child molest and possession. Satan, you're losing your special touch" Tokugawa clucks his tongue at me. I'm not one to be brash but this man had several warnings, all of which he did not heed. I use my demonic speed and rush forward to grab his throat and hit him over the head with the barrel of my gun.
That finally brought silence to the room because he was finally unconscious. I can finally hear myself think. So, I through his body out the door and seek Kagome out. "Kagome" I call. She comes out of hiding from the behind an amp. "So little girl, what you have just witnessed..." I start but stop so she may say what she thinks. "A-Are you going to kill me?" She whispers. "No. I'm going to employ you" I smile.
Kagome looks up at me as though I'm crazy(which I am). "Employ me?" She repeats. "That is correct. You have just witnessed one of my most dangerous costumers. He has talked to you, thus showing interest in you. Now, I can't have anyone but me killing you. It's less enjoyable for you and me, not to mention there are so many things you have yet to learn" I explain as I grab another cigarette. I realize I do smoke a lot nowadays. I'm going to have to try quitting.
"So, as an employee, do I get payed?" Kagome suggests. "Not yet, you have to be trained first. I can't have you getting hurt. The dormant miko powers in you will have to be trained because from here I can feel how powerful you are. Unfortunately, they are untamed and make my job harder. Tomorrow morning, at ten, an old woman with an eye patch will show up at the Higurashi shrine. Her name is Kaede. She will be training you for about...I'm going to say four months. Depending on how long your powers stay in their dormant state" I shrug.
"So that's it. I witness you knock a guy out and now I work for you? What am I going to be doing anyway?" Kagome crosses her arms. "For now, you will come with me on appointments, stay for my band practice since you will be helping with that and when your training is done, you can handle your own deliveries" I list her jobs, to me they aren't that bad, especially since I just made them up.
"How much will you pay me?" Kagome asks. "Payment comes in different forms when dealing with me. Maybe when you're older I'll explain that better" I coo to her. "I think I have the general idea, thanks" Kagome nods. I sniff the air at her look of discomfort and smell the faint scent of her arousal. "Little girl, you are too young to be thinking such naughty things. I told you I'll explain when you're older." I smirk at her deep blush. "When is your birthday?" I drawl, this is tiring.
"June 22 I turn thirteen. Am I old enough to know then?" Kagome jumps up and now, reminding me of her remaining innocence. "That's next week, I suppose I can tell you. But first, what do you want for your birthday?" I shrug again. "I don't know. Surprise me" Kagome smiles. "Come here" I order. Kagome scurries forward, I can sense her fear of me is already gone. "My real name...Is Sesshomaru. When we are with company, you will address me as Satan-sama. Do not defy me in front of costumers because I'd rather not have you kidnapped and in private you may call me my name" I explain.
"Can I have a nick-name?" Kagome smiles sweetly at me. "Of course...Tenshi-chan will do" I give a small smile. "That is so boring!" She whines. "Well, it suits you better than Devil or something like that" I chuckle. Kagome pouts and sighs. "I have to get back to the house before Inuyasha comes looking for me. Good night Sesshomaru" Kagome waves before retreating.
I grab her wrists and lean down to her face. I give her a quick kiss and murmur "Good night Tenshi-chan". It made her blood boil. I could smell her arousal and see her obvious blush. "Be here tomorrow at twelve, tell Kaede I said you have to be here by that time. Go to bed early and eat a good breakfast" I smile against her lips. "O-okay, I guess I'll be going" Kagome stutters and she stumbles to the door. I chuckle at her embarrassing antics as she leaves before going back to tuning my guitar.

Kagome's P.O.V.
I stumbled out of Sesshomaru's studio embarrassed out of my mind. I cannot believe he kissed me! I was so embarrassed not to mention the fact he could smell that what he was doing was turning me on. Oh my God, I will never be able to face him again! My heart is beating so fast that I think I'll faint.
Normal P.O.V.
Kagome scurried back into the living room of the main house where Inuyasha was pacing back and forth. "What the hell took you so long?!" He yells in my face. "Eww, have a tic-tac, you have doggy breath" Kagome moves her head back from Inuyasha. "Did you get the guitar. After how long I thought he killed you" Inuyasha sighed after checking his breath.
"No, he didn't even let me touch it" Kagome shook her head as she sat on the couch next to Sango. "So what took so long? You could have come got me and I would have taken it from the bastard" Inuyasha whines. "Well, he did tell me to relay a message. 'Tonight he may have a visit from Satan and to keep his little bitches out of my studio. Remind him as well, Tenseiga only works once, we wouldn't want an unfortunate accident in which case he can't be brought back" Kagome quotes.
"Inuyasha, maybe you should just fix your guitar and let us hear it tomorrow" Miroku suggests. "Keh, that bastard thinks that just because he's Satan he can boss people around. Well I'm going to get that guitar" Inuyasha huffs. "Little brother, the door is locked. If you break in, I don't want there to be an accident where you are accidentally impaled by Tokijin, in the heart. You know my aim has been off lately" Sesshomaru says from the door way.
"Hey lemme use your guitar bastard. You're so selfish" Inuyasha yells. "Inuyasha! It's his guitar, if he doesn't want you to use it then he doesn't have to let you! Get over it and show us tomorrow" Kagome scolds. "Thank you miko, at least two of you in here know correct manners after proper lessons" Sesshomaru nods to Miroku and Kagome.
Sango opened her mouth to object but decided against it. "The slayer has learned some as well. It seems only the halfbreed is of the Neanderthal race." Sesshomaru quirks an eyebrow at said hanyou who was currently sulking in the corner. "Fuck you" he mumbled before continuing to pout. Sesshomaru proceeded to the couch where Kagome was and lifted her up to sit in her seat and placed her on his lap.
Miroku gave him a look of pure perversion and Sango gave him one of confusion. Kagome simply blushed and looked at her hands. My it was going to be a long night.
Okay, new story. It's going to be a song fic sorta kinda. But like, this was just an introduction for Sesshomaru. Next chapter will hopefully be better than this one.
