Hi! This is my first upload and I'm so excited! :3

I've been seeing a bunch of SessxRin stories that take place in a different time and it has interested me so, I'm going to try to write one.

I'll do my best to keep the characters IC. Please don't kill me if I mess up. :x

(Disclaimer: All the characters mentioned from the anime/manga 'InuYasha' belong to Rumiko Takahashi-sensei. I'm not making any money off of this so, please don't sue me, guise! X'D)


The insistent beeping of the alarm clock jolted Rin awake. She hit the 'stop' button and stifled a yawn using the palm of her hand. She rubbed her eyes groggily and glanced at the alarm clock. 5:00 am, time for work. She dragged herself out of bed and to the bathroom, all the while stifling yawns and rubbing her eyes. Damn, she was so sleepy it wasn't even funny.

'Stupid Sesshomaru-sama, keeping me awake till 4 am with his retarded paperwork.' Rin thought bitterly, 'He's the stupidest boss in the world; he doesn't realize that his secretary is only 18.' She slammed the bathroom door shut and commenced with her morning rituals; brushing her teeth, taking a quick shower, doing her make-up (and using a hell of a lot of concealer to hide the bags under her large brown eyes), and wrapping her long, brown hair with a towel. It took longer than usual due to her half-dead state.

She dragged herself out of the bathroom and threw open her wardrobe. She quickly chose a black pencil skirt that brought out the curves of her hips, and a collared shirt with three-quarter sleeves. Pulling on her undergarments and stockings, her brown eyes shot out to look at the clock.

"Damn. Damn. Damn! It's already 6 am! I am so late!" she yelped and moved into overdrive. She slapped on her clothes, brushed her now dry hair down then, threw it up into a professional ponytail, and shoved her reading glasses onto her face.

"No time for breakfast. Have to stop at Starbucks to grab coffee. Have to get to work before 7:30. Aw, I am so fucking screwed!" She slipped into her black pumps, grabbed her bag and car keys, and flew out the door of her apartment…And collided with her neighbor in the hallway. Damn it.

"Whoa, Rin," Kohaku steadied her by grabbing her shoulders and gave her a lopsided grin. He was a tall man in his early twenties with wide shoulders and dark hair. He was the brother of Sango, a woman in her late thirties, who lived in the next building over with her husband, Miroku, and their three children….or was it four? Rin always forgot. "Be careful!"

Rin sighed and bowed quickly at the older man, "I'm sorry, Kohaku-san! I'm really late! Bye!" She flew down the hallway before he could reply and leaped into her small car. She threw her things into the passenger seat and listened to the purr of the engine as it ignited. She pulled out of the driveway and slammed into Starbucks in record time.

She nearly fell over herself to get into the shop and almost screamed when she saw the length of the line. Her bottom lip trembled and she fought the urge to just drop all her things and sob. Damn it, of all the days' things could go wrong; it had to be on the day the Taisho Company spread to America. Sesshomaru would kill her. Really, really kill her. Well, he could anyway. The great Lord Sesshomaru, son of Inu no Taisho and Lord of the Western Lands would fuck her ass up so bad; Rin would probably never get a job again if she was late today. Oh, she was going to die. No matter how she looked at it, Rin knew she'd die if she didn't get to work on time. For Kami's sake! The line was barely moving! Her knees wobbled and her eyes burned with the promise of tears.

"No," she said quietly and squared her small shoulders, startling the man in front of her. "I am not going to die today!" She grabbed her card and raised her voice to a shout. "Excuse me, everyone! I am the secretary of Sesshomaru-sama, Lord of the Western Lands and I suggest that if you like your head attached to your body, you will let me through to get his coffee! Thank you."

It was amazing how the crowd immediately parted to let her through. Some people even bowed to her, others looked tired and cranky but, knew better then to mess with the most powerful man in Japan's tiny secretary. She shot everyone three-hundred dollar smiles and quickly ordered a black coffee with tons of sugar for herself, and a cappuccino with skim milk and two packs of sugar for Sesshomaru. The young woman behind the counter dashed about quickly, trying to make the coffee perfect. Ugh, she had to take so long. The woman finally shoved the coffee cups into Rin's hand and tried to bow, but Rin had already danced out of the shop and into her car, taking a few seconds to check the time on her platinum watch. 6:55; she would make it to work!

A chorus of angels sang hallelujah as she pulled into the employee parking lot of the Taisho Company. A hurried look at her watch placed the time at 7:15 am as Rin sprinted up the stairs and into the elevator on the first floor.

She bounced on the balls of her feet in anticipation as the elevator slowly made its way to the top floor; 12. The others in the elevator stared at Rin the way one may stare at a lunatic; she returned their gazes with bright smiles that caused their heads to turn away guiltily. Rin couldn't help but hate them all for being so judgmental.

The elevator dinged into the 12th floor and Rin flew out of it and raced to her desk. She had just composed herself and turned on the computer when the elevator dinged again, announcing the arrival of Sesshomaru. The doors slid open and Rin leaped to her feet and bowed low.

"Good morning, Sesshomaru-sama," she said, standing straight with a bright smile. "I have finished the paperwork for the transfer of the selected employees, organized your presentation for this afternoon, and brought you your coffee." She held out the coffee cup and smiled.

Sesshomaru always took her breath away; he was tall (probably over 6'2'' or 3'', he was pretty much a foot taller than her), broad shouldered, with long silver hair that fell well past his hips and a stoic face. He looked like he was in his early twenties but, Rin knew that demons aged differently than humans. He was obviously well built (since his expensive three-piece suit seemed to strain in an effort to contain him) and stood with a straight back. He had magenta markings on his high cheekbones and a navy crescent moon adorned his forehead. The lids of his amber colored eyes were lined with thick crimson. He was the statue of a god; his body chiseled from pure white marble and his eyes, imperial topaz stones that were as cold and unforgiving as chips of ice. He was magnificent and Rin had to admit that whenever she saw him, she thought: 'Damn! That man is as sex-y!' To be honest, Rin had developed a slight crush on her boss and she had a feeling he knew but, he never acknowledged it, thank Kami.

Long fingered hands tipped off with sharp claws wrapped around the coffee cup and he eyed Rin with a cold stare, "Thank you, Rin. Bring the presentation to my office in five minutes and brief me on the meeting." His deep, smooth-as-honey voice sent involuntary shivers down Rin's spine. She brushed them off with a bow.

As Sesshomaru strolled into his office and shut the door tightly, Rin flew into action. She pulled out a simple manila folder with 'Presentation A1' written across it in neat script from her bag and flipped through it once more to double check. She suddenly froze and began shaking like a leaf. She flipped through the folder again while hyperventilating. Her heart thudded in her chest and her reading glasses slipped down from the bridge of her nose.

'I can't believe it,' she thought tearfully. 'This isn't happening! Where are the architectural plans for the new offices?' She considered fainting but, then decided against it. She had to tell Sesshomaru. Oh shit. He was going to brutally murder her. She should write a will. Oh Kami. Oh shit. Oh my. She looked at the coffee cup on her desk, grabbed it, and downed it. The addicting buzz of caffeine took hold on her nerves and she tried to calm down. Her throat burned with tears and the hot coffee.

'I know,' she thought weakly. 'I'll escape down the elevator and just go home and die.'

'No, you won't!' chided a voice in her head. 'You will march into his office and tell him you screwed up!'

"Are you crazy?" she hissed at it. "He'll kill me! Oh Kami, please protect me from that man!" It took her a moment to realize that she was talking to herself. "Great! Now I'm crazy as well as dead! But, I suppose I should at least try not to get myself killed…"

Slowly, she picked up the folder and shuffled to the door of Sesshomaru's office with her head hung. She knocked on it halfheartedly and heard a deep rumble that indicated her welcome. She pushed open the door and was blessed with the sight of her sexy boss leaning on his desk. His sports jacket had been peeled off and hung on the back of his chair, the sleeves of his white shirt where pushed up to display his muscular forearms and the magenta stripes on the back of his wrists, and his tie was loosened just a little. Despite being heavily air conditioned, Sesshomaru's office was still quite warm and the hot weather outside did not help much.

'Well,' Rin thought sadly. 'At least I get to die while looking at this magnificent sight.'

Sesshomaru's golden gaze fell on her expectantly and she found herself slowly dragging her way up to face him. Her bottom lip trembled involuntarily and one of Sesshomaru's perfect eyebrows shot up and disappeared into his hairline, a clear indication of annoyance and confusion. Kami save her.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her rapidly beating heart and frayed nerves. Perhaps chugging down the coffee wasn't such a good idea. Sesshomaru watched her patiently and she thought she caught a tiny flicker of pure irritation cross his gorgeous face before they settled back into a stony mask. But, that could've just been her retarded nerves playing a sick joke on her.

When she spoke her voice came out as more of a whimper and her whole body shook with fear, "I c-can't find t-the a-a-architectural p-plans for the n-new offices, S-S-Sesshomaru-sama." Sesshomaru was on his feet within seconds, his eyes flared with anger but, his face stayed the same.

"You cannot find the what?" he growled quietly. His hands were clenched into fists by his sides and the muscles on his arms stood out.

Rin held up the manila folder to hide her face and whispered the problem again. Her heart was going crazy; thudding in her chest and threatening to stop. She was positive that the Inuyoukai in front of her could hear her heart beating out of control and smell the rolls of fear that slid from her body.

He leaned over her, murder written in his eyes when the door to his office flew open. Sesshomaru's eyes flickered to it and she saw him go rigid with anger.

"Sesshomaru, you fuckin' piece of shit!" there was only one person on the face of the Earth who spoke to Sesshomaru in that tone and using those words; InuYasha, Sesshomaru's hanyou half-brother.


Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched and he folded his hands across his chest. His stiff figure and angrily straight posture showed that he was doing his best to keep from strangling his idiotic half-breed brother to death.

InuYasha was waving a piece of paper while he yelled, "You're sendin' me and Kagome to fuckin' America to run the new company there? You son-of-a-bitch! You didn't even ask us! She's pregnant, from Kami's sake! We're not goin', not in a thousand years." InuYasha was shorter than Sesshomaru but, had the same silver hair and the same amber eyes. Though, InuYasha's looked like burnt sugar while, Sesshomaru's looked like molten gold. InuYasha's cutest features were his adorable puppy-dog ears. Rin had actually had the nerve to touch then once and they had been as soft as cotton. They now swiveled angrily on his head and the scowl on his face made his features look pinched.

Sesshomaru's twitching eyebrow was trying to jump off his face, "You are the vice-president of this company. I am sending your useless behind to America so that you can learn something from the leaders there but, now I see that you have too few brain cells to learn anything aside from rude words and gestures. I was not wrong though, sending you to America may just civilize you a bit."

InuYasha looked absolutely furious, "Who you callin' useless, you dick?"

A small brunette Rin recognized as Kagome laid a warning hand on InuYasha's arm.

She stepped bravely in between the squabbling brothers and smiled sweetly, but the voice she spoke in dripped with sugary venom that shut the brothers up immediately, "InuYasha, thank your brother for offering us such an amazing opportunity that we will accept."

InuYasha flared, "What? Shut up, wench, and let me do the-ouch! Holy Kami! OUCH!" InuYasha was abruptly cut-off as Kagome grabbed one of his cute ears and pulled mercilessly.

"Apologize for your childish behavior and thank him." She said in the same deadly voice. InuYasha howled with pain but, finally, apologized and thanked Sesshomaru. Kagome snatched the paper from his hand and turned to Rin with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry. He swiped this from your folder. I hope it didn't cause too much trouble." She held out the paper to her.

Rin looked down at the paper and felt her knees go weak with relief, "Thank you, Kagome-sama! I was just looking for this!" She bowed repeatedly and quickly as Kagome laughed softly and walked out of the room, dragging a writhing InuYasha behind her. Rin rapidly and expertly slid the paper into the folder and handed it to an impatient Sesshomaru. He flipped through the folder and then regarded Rin with a slightly impressed glint in his eyes but, the majority of him remained stoic.

Rin flashed a smile and felt her spirits lift. She wasn't going to die today! Banzai!

"Well done, Rin," His bass voice vibrated slightly and Rin inhaled sharply. She was suddenly aware of how close Sesshomaru was to her. Her breath caught in her throat and she coughed softly. "I'd like to see you after the meeting this afternoon. I want to speak with you about our American branch and I want to give you the names and phone numbers of people I want you to contact for me."

"B-but, sir, that is w-when my lunch break is." She said, trembling.

"Then I will treat you to lunch today, Rin." Rin felt her soul leave her body. The previous chorus of angels was back and Rin felt as light as air. The Great Lord of the Western Lands Sesshomaru would treat her to lunch….was she dreaming?


Dun, dun, dun! The ferocious Sesshomaru-sama told lil' Miss Rin he would treat her to lunch!
