The Arrangement

"Hey, Hanako, it's time to come in!" a six-year-old boy called out for a little girl who was playing with a dog in the garden.

"Brother, can I play a little more?" the black-haired girl tried to entreat her fastidious brother.

"So you don't want to hear mom's story? Ah, what a pity!" the boy shrugged his shoulder, sighed 'regret' and then walked back into the house.

"Wait!" the girl called from behind and that was already known by her glib brother. He smiled satisfyingly and then calmly turned back.

"I don't want to play any more! I want to hear mom's story!"

"Why?" he asked 'innocently'.

"You've just said that..."

"But you told me that you only wanted to play in the garden, so what's hearing for?" the boy interrupted Hanako while he lowered his head.

"No! I don't agree! I want to hear mom's story!" the girl courted fondling from her brother, her eyes started to have some tears.

"It's too late! A no is a no!" the boy crossed his arms, pretended to be determined.

"NOT AGREE!" the little child cried out, tears began to trace a path down her cheek and soon, there were more and more.

"Alright, alright, we will go, just stop crying!" sweat drops 'Oh my God, why does she always do this to me! If she keeps crying that loud, there's no doubt that..."

"Arashi!" a woman raised her voice from the inside of the house. 'I knew it!' the boy thought to himself as he made a wry face. Instantly, the silhouette of a woman appeared next to the door. She looked at her son strictly "How many times have I told you NOT to tease your sister?"

"I was just kidding, mom!"

"Mommy!" Hanako shouted and then ran straight into her mother's arms. Knowing that her mom was defending her, she tried to cry louder.

"Hey, I was only kidding! Don't think that with mom on your side, you can cry louder!"

The woman sighed. They were always like that, one just wanted to joke when the other liked to cry for some trivial things. These two were really making her go crazy.

"Alright, you two, make it up!" she said while bending down to pick her daughter up. The girl turned around and look at her mother brown eyes "Will you tell us the next part of your story?" she asked unaffectedly. The mother smiled sweetly at her children and then gently stroked her daughter's hair "Sure, honey, but you two have to promise that you won't tease each other any more, okay?"

"Yes, mommy!" Hanako said excitedly as she stuck out her tongue at her brother.

"Hell!" he turned around and walked away.

The mother shaken her head and signed, knew nothing to say 'They will never change!'

She held her son's hand and then walked back into the house "While we are having some cake and tea, I will tell you the story of..."

It was a noon in summer. The blazing shine of the sun was darted straight down at the streets of Tokyo, a city that is always busy and crowded. It seems like life at here will never stop for any reasons. If when the sun just darts its first beam, the people at the city start their new busy day then when the sunshine is slowly hidden behind the mountains, that busy life has already been replaced by the animation of joyful times or romantic moments under the moonlight.

However, for some people, even if it's day or night, all their time were entirely for work. One of them was Taiyoukai Sesshomaru. With him, time is money, so he spent most of his time on the companies of the Taiyoukai Corporation. Entertainment to him was such a waste thing to do and he didn't believe in the so-called 'romance' or 'love'. Why did he need those things when he could have them anytime? Yes, anytime. They flattered him, kneeled to him just because of the property of the Taiyoukai. All of them were trash, especially 'women'. To him, they were the most sickening creatures. They came to him because of the outside look, of a thing known as 'legacy'. How many women were there who could refuse him? None. Their ambition couldn't stand against his cold, emotionless outlook, along with his high social standing. Nevertheless, why did he have to care? At least, they were useful things. He always believed that no women were perfect. Yes, no one, no one truly loved him. There was nothing to regret when they're taking advantage of him as well as he's using them. Nothing...

Suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted his thought. He sighed, leaned his back on the chair, and then answered with a bored tone "Come in!"

A girl, who was about twenty years old, stepped in lightly. She was his secretary.

"What's that?" it was the familiar cold voice that everyone knew.

"Sir, you have a message from the Taiyoukai President."

"What did he say?" Sesshomaru put his elbows on the table, slowly lowered his head.

"He said he wanted sir to come home tonight to prepare for the engaged party!"

"Alright, you can go now!"

The secretary nodded her head and then walked back to the door.

Sesshomaru waited for the door to close tight then let out a heavy sigh. Finally, that day had come: the engaged party between the son of Taiyoukai Corp and the daughter of Higurashi Corp, a political marriage...

Higurashi was one of the biggest corporations of the country. Even if his family was on equal terms with them, becoming enemies in the business world was unpreventable. Therefore, the only way to connect the two corporations was this marriage. Yes, they were taking advantage of each other and even the insiders could notice but the two both accepted. Because of the career of the family and the development of the country's economy, Sesshomaru had no choice but to be a pawn in his father's hands.

A pawn? Was it right? Happiness and love to him were just vague, illusive things. He didn't need them. But then, when he agreed with this marriage, why did he talk about himself as a pawn? He didn't know...and didn't want to know either. He didn't care about that engaged party. The thing he was caring now was how to enlarge the influence of the Taiyoukai Corporation but...why he kept having an anxious, uncomfortable feeling. Inside him, there was something that couldn't stay still...

Sesshomaru let out another sigh then stood up. He looked at the windows and frowned while thinking. Maybe...maybe he needed something...or someone who could change his working life now. Yes...maybe he needed a change...
