Another story that I will most likely never finish why not? So this is a AU Sess/Kagu story. Anything in the bold is Sesshomarus thoughts. Even the ones that are Kagura speaking. But other than that please enjoy. I honestly don't even know where I am going with this story.
He stared at the paper waiting for something to come to him, but as usual nothing did. He found that more than too often he has been having these moments of emptiness.
Why did she have to go?
He asked himself this question that continually begged to be answered. Yet, there wasn't one.
Why wasn't I there to protect her? Was my pride in the way? Or was it simply because I didn't know of love and whether or not I felt that for her?
They came and came; every question that he thought but had no answer to.
He covered his pale face with his hands, resting his elbows on the glass desk of his office. The office that he has spent way too much time in. The office that kept him from life.
Kept him from her.
His thoughts continued to be clouded until a hesitant knock came from his office door and the person popped their head from around it.
"L-Lord Sesshomaru, Mr. Eh - Byakuya is here to see you," Jaken stated not completely coming into the room in fear of his masters anger.
But anger was the last thing he felt at the moment because it's been the only thing he felt for the past two weeks.
My brother is the closest thing I have to family.
Her words rang in his ears, but he choose to ignore them. He waved his hand to tell Jaken to let him in not bothering to even look up at him.
Jaken quickly left and not to much longer Byakuya walked in. Sesshomaru finally looked up from his hands as he watch the younger man sway his way across his office. He had a smirk on his face that easily gave way to all his emotion.
No one can pull off the emotionless face like you Sesshy.
He has every emotion going through him right now, but he would never let her incredulous brother see them.
He got to the chair crossing one of his thin legs over the other and tossing his long dark ponytail over his shoulder. He wasn't cocky but he was definitely bold. He was 5 years younger than than Sesshomaru, but he would make everyone think they were the same age just from his presence. But then again some might not take Sesshomaru for his age either. Not a wrinkle touched his face and his body is of the highest caliber.
Byakuya's dark blue eyes could tell Sesshomaru that this conversation was not going to be easy on him.
"Sesshomaru you know the last thing my sister would ever want you to do is continue to sit in this office and waste away over sadness," Byakuya began with a loud sigh.
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed to thin slits, "Do I look to be sad or 'wasting away' as you put it."
Byakuya once again sighed,"Yes you do. I may not know you like Kagura did but Sesshomaru I can see through you, and I know you cared for her just as much as she did for you."
Kagura may have hated her family absolutely as much as he did but the one person that she did come to trust was her younger brother. And she has on many occasions brought him around to get to know Sesshomaru. She hoped that her and Sesshomaru's future would involve him even though he kept in contact with their sadistic father. Who Kagura spent her life trying to get away from.
Her whole life.
"Shes gone now, so its time to move on,"Sesshomaru answered looking off at the wall.
"And have you? Have you finally moved on."
Sesshomaru looked him in the eyes again, with no emotion in his face. But he knew that Byakuya can see right through his tough facade. He could see that her death still haunted him. He has always had a knack for reading people and seeing through lies and deception, yet he was so good at doing them himself.
"Look we both know who is the cause of her death and I want him gone just as bad as you do, so why not-," Byakuya wasn't able to finish what he was saying before Sesshomaru had enough.
"You want him gone, his little pet... I doubt that... Why are you really here," Sesshomaru's voice was level but his tone was aggravated with unease.
"Oh yeah, Naraku sent me. He wanted me to tell you to give up or he'll do it for you yata-yata." Byakuya rolled his hand in an ongoing motion. No one understood how often Naraku would threaten sesshomaru but never get anywhere with it.
Sesshomaru slightly rolled his eyes. He didn't care for Naraku's idle threats but he wasn't careless enough to think that he wouldn't try something. He's been after his company for years and the main reason he met Kagura was because he sent her to "spy" on him. But with time she eventually fell for him realizing the terrible person her father is.
Sesshomaru looked at him one more time before putting on his glasses and picking up the papers in front of him to read.
"Is that all."
Byakuya gave one more sigh, he wasn't going to get to him anytime soon. He rose from the chair that he sat on and pulled on his black jacket to fix it and walked to the door.
"I miss her too Sesshomaru, I want you to know that. The only difference is, is that I am trying to do something about it."
With that he closed his office door and left through the hall headed for the exit. He can hear Jaken squabble a "Thanks for coming" from the outside of the room.
The moment he left Sesshomaru slapped the papers down on the desk. He didnt want to admit it but Byakuya was right. He hasn't done anything to get back at Naraku. He owned the most astound Publishing House in all of western America, he could have Naraku ruined in seconds. But he could never find the opportunity too, that man is as much of a coward that anyone can be. He has even had to go through the witness protection program. A cowardice man like that cleans his tracks or leaves none behind. If he honestly wanted to do something he would need help and not just Byakuya's.
First Chapter? Yeah short, but the rest might be longer. This was just a little intro I guess. Tell me how it was? And read some of my other stories if you want. None of them are finished so don't get happy...
