Uncalled Romance

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Summary: Kagome Higurashi; 19, single, hard-headed, outspoken, troublesome. Sesshoumaru Takahashi; 23, single, unpredictable, business man, work-o-holic. What do these two have in common? Absolutely nothing, but the fact that they have nothing in common makes it harder to resist one another. Strange and uncanny but, true. They meet as if on cue unintentionally, along with some confusions and uncomfortable moments. Love is basically a game of simply beating time itself.

Chapter One:

What's her name?

Sesshoumaru sat at his working area; focusing intensely at his work. His eyes were stiff and they never left his papers. His hand gripped his pen tightly and it moved expeditiously on the paper; fast but steady as if it was automatic. He knew what he was doing. He could have his eyes closed and still know what he was doing. He was born a business man and a natural hard worker. Unlike, his naïve, immature half-breed brother Inuyasha, he doesn't waste his valuable time getting some head and possibly getting girls pregnant. He heard a knock on his door. "Come in." he said emotionlessly. You could have sworn it was a machine if you didn't know any better. He didn't even look up to see who it was. He knew who it was, actually. Who else would bother him on a Saturday Night? And the smell of overused Axe and Tag only meant that Inuyasha was around. "Hey, Fluffy." Inuyasha said as he entered the room. Sesshoumaru growled. "Ignorant little, half-breed, kids nowadays." he said. Inuyasha laughed. "Lighten up Sesshy." Sesshoumaru didn't even bother to comment on the name calling.

"Just get to the point. I don't have time for your little kid-ish games. Why are you here?" he asked impatiently; simply just hating the fact that he was around and breathing his oxygen. "Well, heh… I-" before he could finish his sentence, Sesshoumaru cut him off, "You gambled and lost a lot, and you're here to beg me for money, am I correct?" he said calmly in more of a statement than a question. Inuyasha smirked. "Yes sir, you know it. So, can you clear it for me?" he asked. "No." Sesshoumaru snapped. Literally, right after Inuyasha was done asking that question, Sesshoumaru snapped a "No." at an instant. Inuyasha began to feel his temperature rise up.

"Why!" he asked in an almost yelling manner. Sesshoumaru grinned, still having his eyes on his work though. "Because, it's my money. MY hard working, breath taking, heart aching, blood leaking, clean money. You got that?" he said sternly. Suddenly, he put his pen down. He actually put his pen down! Either he's done ALL his work, and I mean all, or you got his heart pumping and that isn't a good thing. He stood up and slammed his fist onto his desk; causing it to crack a little. "You don't come in here demanding ME, to give you MY money for your SELFISH needs and problems! The money that I raised up by myself! The money I shed tears for while YOU were out fucking around with some bimbo of some sort! You pay for your own fucking damn bills, for your own fucking damn problems, and for your own fucking damn needs!" he exclaimed.

He really didn't know why he got all hyper like that. It's so un-Sesshoumaru like. It's just that probably all these stresses that he's been denying just suddenly bubbled up and were just ready to attack the next person that pissed him off. And, or, he just returned the same reaction that Inuyasha gave to him. Kind of a reflex thing. After, letting all that out, he felt kind of good.

There was a moment of silence.

Inuyasha stood there; staring blankly and dumbfounded at Sesshoumaru's sudden outburst. "Now, if that's all you came here for, then leave." Sesshoumaru said smoothly, as though nothing happened. Inuyasha gritted his teeth. He didn't know what to say after that outburst, so he actual did what he was told and left, but, not without putting up the finger. After that, he slammed the door shut. It was quite funny seeing his face like that. Stunned and speechless, then pulling a very immature act as to put up the finger. Sesshoumaru shook his head.

2 hours went by and Sesshoumaru was still working. His cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the number; it was an unknown call. He opened his phone and in his deep, yet smooth voice; trying not to sound stressful, he said,

"Hello?"

"S-Sesshoumaru!"

Sesshoumaru looked at his phone. It sounded like Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, what-"

"Look, Sesshoumaru. Your brother has a debt to pay and our boss is tired of his procrastination! Either give us the money, or he dies a violent death!"

Sesshoumaru laughed slightly. He really didn't care about him, but his father told him to look after Inuyasha while he was away, so he had to save his butt no matter how much he didn't want to. Plus, he had a reputation. If word leaks out that his brother got involved with a Yakuza, then he has to live through the humiliation.

"What's the address?"

"9878 Oakley Street. The old empty warehouse downtown, don't be late."

He closed his cell phone without saying anything afterwards, and then he put away his work, grabbed his black coat, and left his office. It was cold that night. His long, silver hair blew gently in the air. He unlocked the door of his black Porsche and adjusted himself. After he adjusted himself nicely, he left his driveway and began driving down the street.

SLAP!

A sudden hard, heavy, slap echoed through out the diner. There, standing in the center of the room, was a very petite, raven haired girl. She stood there, staring daggers at the woman who slapped her. "You wench! You do as told and the customer is always right!" she said. "But, Kagura she-" "I said, the customer is always right! Now, apologize!" she cut her off. Kagome glared daggers at the girl. She knew the girl too. She was the conceited, slut in high school. She also slept with her ex-boyfriend, Hojo. She caught those two having sex right in front of her eyes. She was doing some oral sucking at that time, and it was disgusting!

"So, how's Hojo? You still being a slut, Kikyou?" Kagome asked. Kikyou laughed. "Oh, that poor loser? I dumped him. The sex was good, but he wasn't on my level. And, how can I still be a slut when I never was one?" she asked innocently. Kagome gritted her teeth. How dare she deny it? She was the school's sex toy and she slept with everyone! Kikyou adverted her attention back to Kagura. "It's ok, she doesn't have to apologize." Kikyou said, trying to act all miss innocent all of a sudden. "But… I want her fired." Kagura turned to Kagome, and before she could say those two words, Kagome was already out.

Kagome stormed down the streets of Tokyo like Godzilla. She muttered words underneath her breath and felt the confusing and frightened stares she was getting. She laughed at herself. 'Probably think I'm crazy or something.' she thought. She stopped at a red light. She sighed, 'Damn, how am I suppose to pay the rent now?' she thought. She shook her head. She placed her hands in her pockets as she felt a cold breeze. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realize the light turned green. She quickly crossed, but half way through, the light suddenly turned red again and she saw a car coming right towards her! She closed her eyes and stood there; too frozen and scared to even move. Her heart pounded faster every millisecond. "Dear, god! Please let the car stop in time!" she prayed to herself.

Sesshoumaru drove silently. He stopped at a red light and sighed. He looked around as he waited. He blinked several times in a row. Since when was Tokyo such a lovey-dovey and romantic place? He could see couples everywhere, even young ones at the age of only 12. Seeing all of these couples made him... think of the past, and the cold memories started coming back. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.

Flashback

20 year old Sesshoumaru smiledas he embraced his girlfriend; Rin, watching as the California sun was setting on the balcony of his room. Today was the last day in California before Sesshoumaru and Rin had to go back to work. Rin was Sesshoumaru's secretary and they fell madly in love. After the death of Sesshoumaru's first girlfriend, he never thought that he could ever fall in love again, but that was when Rin came into his life. "Sesshoumaru…" she whispered with her soft, sweet and innocent voice. "Yes?" he softly asked as he lowered his head. She whispered in his ear, "I love you." then she kissed him on the lips and before she knew it, Sesshoumaru pulled her into a passionate kiss. They stayed like that; kissing from the beginning of the sun set, until now; under the moonlight. Rin broke the kiss to catch her breath. Sesshoumaru placed his warm hands on her cold ones and stared at her straight in the eyes. "Rin, how much do you love me?" he asked. Rin smiled. "I love you more than words can explain and I'd do anything for you. If our love ever left, I'd probably die." she answered.

He kissed her on the lips again. She returned his kiss and slowly opened her mouth for his tongue to enter. He pulled her into yet another passionate scene. She let out a moan as his tongue roamed in her mouth. He let out a smirk in satisfaction. He placed his arms on her petite, waist and she put her arms around his neck. His lips left hers and he made his way slowly down to her neck; making sure that he kissed every part of her pale, vivid, soft skin. He stopped; his heavy breath still hovering over her neck. "Why have you stopped?" she asked softly. "Rin, are you ready?" he asked. She gazed at him. She bit her bottom lip. He stared into her stunning green eyes. "I won't force you, but if you're ready, I'm game." he said sincerely. "I-I don't know… I-I want to, but… I'm afraid." she turned her head away. Sesshoumaru grabbed her face and brought it to his. He smiled. "I promise you, it won't hurt. We'll take it nice and slow. And whenever you want to stop, we'll stop. Whatever happens, I will assure you that I'll take responsibility and care for it. You're a big girl now, so it's your choice. Remember, I won't force you if you are not ready yet." He assured.

Rin smiled back and she could feel tears forming in her eyes. She hugged him tightly. "Sesshoumaru, I love you so much!" she cried. He laughed. "Are you ready?" he asked. Rin nodded. "Yes, I'm ready…" she said. Sesshoumaru brushed her tears away with his thumb and carried her bridal style to his bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed and locked his lips with hers, but this time, it was a quick one. He pulled away and smiled. "One sec." he whispered to her. He walked to his balcony and closed his French doors. He pulled down the curtains and from that point on; they made love until the sun came up.

The heat of the sun's ray beamed against the cheeks of Sesshoumaru. He softly yawned as his eyes opened slowly. He moved his arm to find that he wasn't holding anything. His head poked up in the air. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. He shook his head. "Where is she...?" he said to himself. He stretched and got up from his bed. He saw a figure near the balcony, so he assumed it was Rin. He walked up to her and held her in his arms. "Good morning…" he whispered in her ear. He didn't receive an answer. He leaned his head against hers. "What's wrong?" he asked. Rin shook her head. "Nothing…" she replied, but Sesshoumaru knew something was up the moment he embraced her.

He was a full-blooded demon, so he could sense that something was wrong. And her usual sweet, cheery voice, now seemed dead and lifeless. "I'm okay, really." she said, faking a smile. Sesshoumaru turned her body to face his. "Rin, you know that I can sense things, so don't try to lie to me. I thought we could tell each other how we feel. What's going on?" he asked sternly. Rin looked down. "Um, before we start, would you mind putting on some clothes?" she said as she pointed at his…well, you get the picture. He blushed, "Yea, right. Well, wait downstairs and I'll be there in a sec." he said as he looked for something to wear. She brushed past him and made her way downstairs. He frowned. "What's up with her this morning?" he said to himself.

Five minutes later he got dressed in a blue polo collared shirt that wasn't too big or small and ripped Areopostale jeans. (They were made like that) He came down to find Rin crying on the couch. He ran up to her and lifted her up and pulled her into a warm embrace. He had a concern look on his face. "What's going on? Rin! Please, tell me." he cried out. Tears streamed down her eyes. "Sesshoumaru, I-" before she could finish her sentence, she was rudely interrupted by a very disturbing laughter. Sesshoumaru adverted his eyes towards the person who was laughing. "Who are you?" he snarled. "A man in a white suit walked up to Sesshoumaru. "I am that lovely young lady's soon to be father-in law." He replied with a smirk. Sesshoumaru's eyes widened. He quickly turned to Rin who was now crying heavier and louder.

"R-Rin! Is this true?" he exclaimed. He never felt so speechless and betrayed like this in his life. He felt as if his heart had sunken like the very Titanic itself. She nodded. Before Sesshoumaru could say another word, she cut in, "It's not like I planned for it to come out this way!" she cried. "My father died this morning, and I was told that I was engaged to be married! You hear that? Engaged, Sesshoumaru! And, if I deny the whole marriage thing, then I'll be dishonoring the death of my father!" she felt more tears stream down her eyes. Her heart pounded as fast as lightning and she breathed heavy strokes. Sesshoumaru didn't know what to do. He didn't cry, but oh god did he want to.

"Now, Rin. My son Naraku is waiting in the limo." the man known as her future father-in law said as he escorted her out. She took one last look at her true love and walked away. Sesshoumaru stood there, watching her. "So, you're just gonna leave me?" he called out. He laughed sarcastically and closed his eyes. Yes, now tears were falling down his eyes. Rin turned back to look at him, the man that stole her love and the man who gave her everything and cherished her and took care of her and the first man who made love to her. She hopped in the limo and looked away. "I love you…" she whispered softly to herself. The limo pulled out of the driveway leaving a very lifeless Sesshoumaru down on his knees. "RIN!" he called out. "Rin… why? Why did you have to leave me!" he cried. He soon found himself knocked out on the floor.

Eight hours later, he finally woke up. I guess he was just so overwhelmed and weary about the whole situation that he actual fell asleep for a long time. He rubbed he head and opened his eyes slowly. He looked around; he was still in his Mansion in Cali. It was dark out now. "Was all of this a dream?" he slapped himself. "Nope, guess not." he said. He closed his eyes as he thought about earlier today; the thoughts of how he lost the love of his life to some man name Naraku. He suddenly heard his cell phone ring. He groaned. He really didn't want to deal with people right now, but it wouldn't stop ringing, so he couldn't help but to open it. He didn't even bother to check the number. He opened it and clicked talk:

"What do you want?" (Yea, that was ignorant of him to just say that)

"S-Sesshoumaru…"

There was a moment of silence.

Sesshoumaru paused for a moment. "This sounds like Rin…" he said to himself. "But, she sounds like she's in pain."

"Rin! Are you ok? What did he do to you?"

"S-Sesshoumaru… h-he… he raped me!"

Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and clenched his fist.

"And, I can't live with myself anymore! Sesshoumaru I love you so much! And if I cannot be with you then…I'd rather die!"

"NO! Rin! Stop this right now! Don't do anything stupid! I love you, please…"

"Sesshoumaru, you were my everything, my only thing, and now that you're gone… I can't live with myself; especially after getting brutally raped. Remember what I said Sesshoumaru that night we made love. Goodbye my lover, goodbye…"

"RIN! NO! I LOVE YOU! PLEASE, NO!"

All was heard was a beeping noise from the other end. She hung up...

He dropped this cell phone. He remembered what she had said, and it still haunted him every chance it got…

"I love you more than words can explain and I'd do anything for you. If our love ever left, I'd probably die."

End of Flashback

He was soon out of his daze when he heard a loud honking noise. "Get a move on you idiot!" yelled a man from the car in back. Sesshoumaru shook his head and began to drive. "I have got to get these old memories out of my head…" he said to himself. He turned on the radio. "Maybe a little music will help." Playing on the radio was the song "Everytime We Touch" by Cascade, except the slow version. (A/n: The slow version of that song sounds really good and beautiful) Sesshoumaru closed his eyes. 'Dear god, why this song? Why now?' he thought…

"'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling, and everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.

Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last, need you by my side.

'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static, and everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.

Can't you feel my heart beat slow, I can't let you go, want you in my life."

He turned off the radio and stopped the car. "Maybe a little walk would help." he said to himself. He got out of his Porsche and took a walk. As he was walking, he saw a car driving very fast and it looked as though there was a drunk driver. 'Low lives…' he thought. He heard whispers.

"Look! That girl right there is about to get hit!"

"Someone! Save her!"

"I don't think anyone can save her now. The car is going way too fast."

Sesshoumaru looked at where the car was going. Standing in the middle of the street was a girl; who was about to get hit! At an instant, he felt himself running towards her. It was like an instinct. He just couldn't stand another girl dieing right in front of his face. With his demon like speed, he grabbed the girl by the waist and with a blink of an eye, she was safe and back on the side walk.

Kagome could feel tears coming down her eyes. Was she about to die? Did she die?

Then, suddenly, she felt someone grab her by the waist, and soon, she was floating in the air. 'I must have died if I'm now floating… but, why do I feel myself against something hard?' she thought to herself. She felt her feet touch the ground again. She was whimpering and shivering. After what just happened, or was about to happen, she didn't know how to act. "It's ok. You can open your eyes now." she heard someone say. She slowly opened her eyes. The first thought that came in her mind was, 'I'm alive?' she looked up to see her savior. Her chocolate brown eyes met a pair of stunning and most amazing pair of rare, golden amber eyes she's ever seen in her entire life.

The man had long, silky, silver hair that just glowed in the light. He was well toned. Not too muscular, but not so wimpy. He had on a black, very expensive platinum jacket on and probably a suit under it. He had great features. He looked like a god. She realized that she was still clinging onto him; she pushed herself away and blushed.

Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl; who was shivering in his arms. She had long, silky, raven hair. She wore a black jean jacket with a plain white tee under it, black cargos with a lot of pockets and straps, and red chucks. She was slim and slender. She looked like a very down to Earth girl. She looked about 5'5". When his eyes met hers, he could feel himself weaken. Those eyes; those chocolate brown eyes, were beautiful. And her features were amazing. Big chocolate brown eyes, a small nose (not too small though), nice full lips, and she looked as though she didn't wear any make-up. But, she didn't need any make-up. She was what you call, natural beauty. But, he couldn't be attracted to this girl, could he? Nah, he couldn't. She pushed her body away from his; feeling the uncomfortable-ness probably. He saw her slightly blush and was satisfied.

Kagome coughed and looked away. She could feel the man staring at her, so she felt even more uncomfortable. "Thank you for saving me." she finally let out. She looked at her watch. "Oh, wow. Well, look at the time. I think I should be going now-BYE!" and with that she ran. Sesshoumaru stood there, stunned. Wow, he didn't expect her to do that. He smirked. 'She sure was pretty.' he thought. He then slapped his forehead. 'Snap out of it Sesshoumaru. You're acting like Inuyasha now. Plus, you probably won't even see her again.'

He sighed. "I don't even know her name." he said to himself. He placed his hands in his pockets and headed back to his Porsche.

A/N: Well… what do you guys think of chapter one? This was my first fic, so tell me what you think. I'll try to update soon… and if I get good reviews, then maybe I'll update sooner. (Wink, wink)
