Times Tale

3/7/17

~*~*~*~ 17 Years Ago ~*~*~*~

Taisho was trying everything he could to keep the birth of his first born son a hidden fact. In his line of work family was a liability that others exploited all to often. There was no way he could keep this up one of the other factions would notice his wife's absence from the public eye. She had already been 'sick and bed ridden' for months. There were 4 major factions in the city, his own, the Higurashi, Okami, and the Bankotsu.

War was always a way of life you step onto another turf you better be ready for the consequences. Murder was the norm, money and power were the drive.

"Master Taisho you should see this." a young woman with long black hair and brown eyes said as she walked in and turned on the TV in his study.

"Izayoi I don't have time for...turn that up..." Taisho said as he stared at the TV curiously it was the mayor of the city the words across the bottom of the screen read 'Mayor calls truce with Gang Leaders and calls for a meeting.'

"I repeat so that all of the Gang leaders can understand what I just said. I wish to have a meeting with you to stop all of this violence. Bring your guards cause I will have mine but do not start trouble I beg you to hear me out. Meet me at Town Hall tonight at 9." then the mayor walked away from the camera crew and back into the building behind him.

"What is that about?" Taisho asked looking over at his servant Izayoi.

"Apparently there is to much violence in the city and he wishes to discuss peaceful solutions he said to many of his officers were being killed leaving their spouses widowed over nothing." Izayoi said as she turned the TV back off then turned to him.

"It's 7:30 now." Taisho said as he glanced over at the clock on the wall then walked around his desk. "Izayoi tell my wife I will be going out. And have my driver ready the car." he said as he walked out of his office. Izayoi left his office and found his driver and had him bring around Taisho's car.

"Mr. Taisho will you be going?" one of the men asked standing by the TV they had just turned off.

"Yes." Taisho said as he looked at his men there were five standing there some of his best they would do. "All of you with me." they nodded as he made his way to the door.

It took about an hour to get to town hall the streets were empty not even reporters dared be around the 4 most powerful and dangerous men in the city. Taisho got out of his car once his men had made sure it was safe. He walked up the stairs and through the doors curiously.

A shaking secretary was standing there to greet him. "Mr. Taisho please follow the hall to the last door on the right. The Mayor and Mr. Higurashi is already waiting. " the secretary said he was getting paid hazard pay for this, that was the only reason he wasn't at home locked in his house with the rest of the city.

Taisho nodded then him and his men walked down the hall. "Mayor, Higurashi." he said as he entered the room.

"Taisho welcome." the Mayor said motioning to a seat at the table. "Ah Okami welcome. Please sit down." motioning to a different seat.

"Bankotsu." Okami said angrily at the last of the leaders arrived.

"No fighting here. This is a peaceful talk. Bankotsu welcome please sit down." the Mayor said as he stood up from his seat.

"What's this all about?" Bankotsu asked irritated.

"These wars of your all's has to stop. The Governor has given me permission to talk with you before he acts. Our city is dying, the people are leaving to afraid to walk out of their houses. Children are killing children. Schools are battlegrounds now." the Mayor said as he looked around at all of the leader. A couple of them he was reaching he could tell but there was one he knew going in was going to be a hard ass.

"So that's your problem not mine." Bankotsu said as he leaned back into his chair.

"Don't you have any shame or compassion. If this keeps up all that is going to be left is you idiots trying to kill each other for turf that no one lives on or works in. You will have no business for yourselves. We are all losing here can't you see that." The Mayor said.

"What do you purpose?" Taisho asked curiously glancing over at his most hated advisory Higurashi, whom he noticed was interested in what the Mayor is saying.

"School's and children are off limits, your gangs will no longer accept members under the age of 18. The schools will no longer call roll, the students must check in with the teacher daily when they enter the room. Their files sealed for their protection. None of you will know the others children their identities will be kept secret until 18 and none of you will try to find out the identities of the children. And lastly none of you will start gun battles in the middle of the street anymore for no other reason than you saw each other."

"I will agree to your terms only if the others do." Taisho said aggressively then looked around at the rest of the table.

"I will as well." Higurashi said.

"And me." Okami said.

"The hell with this you guy's are too soft. Bowing down to his demands like children." Bankotsu said angrily.

"Bankotsu think about this for a moment. Three out of four gangs agree with the Mayor. All our men plus his police against yours, it's suicide don't be stupid. Plus if we don't reach this truce I'm sure the Governor will be sending the reinforcements here into the city to flush you out." Taisho said as she looked down the table at Bankotsu.

"He's right. The Governor will send the army down here if we do not put an end to all this fighting." the Mayor said hoping that with the pressure of the other gang leaders Bankotsu would agree.

"If you want a war then you have one!" Bankotsu said as he got up and stormed out of the room and out of city hall.

The mayor sighed as he watched him go. "There goes our peace and our last hope."

"Not necessarily." Taisho said as he looked at the other two. "We can wipe him out tonight before he can start trouble." he said with a hard look in his eyes.

"Now wait a minutes I brought you all together to stop all this not create a new war amongst you." The Mayor said shocked but could see the same look in the other two eyes.

"The governor gave you this opportunity. Let us make it stick." Okami said as he nodded over to Higurashi and Taisho. "He will never come around he has nothing to protect."

"Agreed. A one time alliance in order to create a better life for the children." Higurashi said as he looked at the others.

"Very well your are going to do this anyway. But after tonight you must go by the rules I have stated earlier." the Mayor said.

"Agreed." they all said then watched as the Mayor got up and left he room to them and took his officers with him.

It took them another hour but they came up with the best plan possible. The three leaders left city hall using their car phones to call their gangs and mobilize them. They did a combined strike on the Bankotsu hide out from three sides and wiped them out that night.

~*~*~*~ Present ~*~*~*~

Sesshomaru son of Taisho was 17 years old and in his senior year of high school he would turn 18 in a few months time and take his place at his fathers side running the 'family business'. The three gangs had all abided by the rules set down that night so long ago, mostly. Their children were involved behind closed doors in the financial aspect of the gangs, they were never allowed out on the street doing 'work' but they understood what was going on. Plus they were all trained in private in the use of the weapons of choice hand guns, and automatic weapons. Now there is a new gang that had popped up recently the Gumo Gang they were not bound by those rules but found it difficult to get around them with all the security measures in place.

Sesshomaru parked his car a silver Nissan GT-R outside of his high school and sighed. 'Another day of boredom.' he thought as he got out of his car and spotted his stupid half brother Inuyasha with is girlfriend Kikyo over by his car a red Toyota Supera making out. "Disgusting idiot." he said as he turned and walked towards the school entrance.

The two boy's had never been on the best of terms. Inuyasha was a year and an half younger than Sesshomaru and was the bastard son of his father and a woman who had been a servant in their household before her death in a car accident.

"Oops I'm sorry." a young woman with black hair and blue eyes said as she bumped into Sesshomaru in the hall of the school dropping the books she was carrying everywhere. "I'm so clumsy."

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at her then just stepped around and kept walking to his class. She was a younger student he knew because he had her in music and PE classes which spanned all four grades. Juniors and Seniors together and Freshman and Sophomores together.

The young woman began picking up her stuff glaring at the girl who had pushed her in front of Sesshomaru. "Sango... you're going to regret that." she said angrily as her friend kneeled down to help her while suppressing laughter.

"Kagome you really should be more graceful." Sango said and laughed.

"Graceful... that's hard when your shoved ya know." Kagome said and frowned at her friend.

"I can't believe he just kept walking though." Sango said as they finally got all of the books and papers picked up.

"I can." said a voice from right behind Sango and he grabbed her butt. She screamed and slapped the young man silly "Pervert!" she yelled then grabbed Kagome and lead her away to their PE class.

"Miroku will you never learn?" Inuyasha said as he walked up by his friend.

"Never my friend it is all worth it." Miroku said with a dumb happy look on his face.

"You're and idiot Miroku. Come on class time." Inuyasha said and pushed Miroku in font of him towards the gym.

The gym was split in half women on one side and men on the other they faced each other as they did their exercises. Kagome was always in the front row across from Sesshomaru whom she had always thought was hot but never flirted with him because all the other girls did and she figured he hated being the center of attention.

Kagome shrugged the thought away as she stared at him. Then she noticed Inuyasha and her cousin Kikyo walking in leading the dazed Miroku and laughed. She nudged Sango and pointed out Miroku and his stupid look. "You did a number on him that time." she said and laughed again.

Class started the same as it always did with the teacher wanting every student to step forward and declare they were there quietly. Then they did their warm up exercises. The class groaned when the teacher made them all run up and down the bleachers 3 times each and around the gym floor 3 times. By the time class had ended they were all agitated.

They all moved on to their next class which was for Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kikyo language. Sesshomaru had Math.

"I wish he wasn't so distant from everyone... though I guess if he wasn't so distant that allure wouldn't be there." Kagome said as she and Sango walked to the next class.

"I don't see what women see in his ass. He's a cold hearted bastard." Inuyasha said from behind the girls.

"Not like we would know Inuyasha." Sango said over her shoulder back at him.

"You've proven my point. Has he ever, and I mean ever said hi, hello, or kiss my ass to either of you?" Inuyasha asked curiously as he looked at the girls.

"Well no..." Kagome admitted.

"If you want to really get to know him you should meet me after school today there's a party we're going to." Inuyasha said and curiously wondering if they would agree to go.

"Sure we'll go." Sango said before Kagome could say no.

"Great you have a car right?" Inuyasha asked curiously.

"No but Kagome does." Sango said and nudged her friend.

"Yeah..." Kagome said unsure.

"Fantastic you can follow me and Miroku." Inuyasha said and winked at them. They had all grown up through school together going through the same classes so they were all pretty close.
