Hello my loving readers:) So introductions are in order. I've been a writer on here before. But due to some reason, my account kept getting locked so here i am now:) Creating a new account with new stories. Yeah i miss my old account but i love to write too much. Nothing can keep me away. So anywho, I have the grandest idea for a new story. It's quite brilliant. So for reference this story is mine. All mine. I call rights to the plot. The characters are not mine though.
Also, if you haven't watched The Amazing Spiderman, I suggest you go see it. Like now. Or after you read :p Either one works for me:) Truly an awesome movie. Much better than the Toby McGuire version. (or so i believe). Well anyway, mine is a Inuyasha remix of it all. (in a way) soooo on with the story:)
(Shikon Labs Tokyo, Japan)
"We have an issue in Marketing. The new infomercial for Riotale is behind schedule and your lead scientist leading the animal trials has not been seen in a week. Her co workers think she's home with the Flu." Yura slowly scanned her list. "And it seems as though Test subject 0087-437 has been terminated as of 01:57 this morning."
Silence filled the large office. Not even the honking of traffic outside could be heard.
"So let me get this straight." an eerie voice conceded. "Our main test subject was 'Terminated' this morning and the scientist heading the project is nowhere to be found. Correct?"
Yura was speechless. She had heard that her boss was ruthless and a cruel being but not once had she seen so in the past 5 years of being his secretary. Matter of fact, she thought he was brilliant. A genius in his own time. Not to mention handsome in a dark, dangerous sort of way. But the silence of his office and the expectant look in his eyes scared her. For once in her time of working her, Yura feared for her life.
"Well?" He pushed as his fingers drummed the surface of his desk impatiently.
Yura flinched."Yes sir."
Her boss chuckled, but the sound was hallow. "Set up a meeting with the head of marketing for 1 o'clock. I want all details about the progress of- Are you writing this down, Ms. Haer?"
"Oh! O-of course sir." She stammered, withdrawing a pad and pen from her jacket pocket. "Meeting for 1 o'clock and full details of the infomercial progress correct?"
He nodded his head in confirmation. "I also want test subject 0087-437 examined and the data recorded and sent to me right away." he said standing up and seeing Yura to the door. "Oh and Ms. Haer?"
Stepping a few feet from the door, she turned. "yes sir?"
"Be a dear and get me 'Security' on line one" he smiled.
Holding back the shudder vibrating through her being, she nodded. "Right away, Mr. Onigumo"
As the door closed behind her, she couldn't help but shiver from the change of temperature. It was always so cold in Mr. Onigumo's office. Walking back to her desk, she read over the list again. 'The only thing he didn't mention was the missing scientist. Could that be why he wanted to speak with Security?' she wondered. Reaching her desk, she quickly dialed Security.
(Across town at The Higurashi Shrine)
It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky. A perfect, peaceful day.
"NO."
Well almost peaceful.
A woman with long raven hair briskly walked out of the door of her childhood home. A small boy beside her, trying desperately to match the pace of his mother.
"Kagome!" an older man coarsely yelled, coming to stop right at the doorway "Kagome Higurashi, we need to talk about this."
Turning on her heel, she gave the man a stern look. "No we do not. You gave over the company to me, so now it's none of your concern. You have no business in this."
The man sighed, leaning to rest against the door frame. "I realize this but can we at least discuss it. I did after all create the very company you command."
Kagome's eyes softened at seeing the old man show his age. "Grandpa, there is really nothing to discuss. Please do not worry yourself with this. I'm fully capable of handling this."
A middle aged woman came to join the elder man at the door, resting her hand on the man's shoulder. "Father, she is right. Is this not the reason why you let Kagome take over the business? To retire and not have to deal with such worrisome obstacles?"
The man chuckled lowly, covering the woman's hand with his own. "I know how capable you are Kagome. I just don't want you to get in over your head." He looked at the young woman with sadness in his eyes. "You are still so young."
Kagome scoffed. "I'm 21. Not a child anymore Grandpa."
"Kagome." the older woman scolded. "You're grandfather is just concerned."
"I know momma. But I'm doing what I think is best for the company." She reconciled.
"How is canceling your engagement to the Heir of Akitoki Pharmaceuticals best for the company?!" her grandfather argued.
Kagome sighed. If only they let her make her own decisions. "Grandpa, I do not love Hojo. He's a nice man but I believe our relationship is purely friendship. Nothing more. We have already discussed it. He still wishes to have a merger with the company. With this merger, new horizons will open. Not to mention that the benefactors will increase ten fold." She stepped forward, engulfing her grandfather in a loving embrace. "Have faith in me"
Her voice was so soft but he heard her none the less. Shaking his head, he stepped back to look at her. At the mere age of 21, Kagome looked and acted like the head business woman of the third most well known corporation in the world. Not to mention that business had truly blossomed since she had taken over. He had faith in her. But he was always going to worry about her. She was after all his only granddaughter.
Taking hold of his daughter's hand, he held his other out to his granddaughter. Kagome took the hand and ,with a smile, they shook hands. And everything was understood. No words needed to be said.
Turning away, Kagome gathered her son into her arms and headed off to her car.
Watching them go, the older man turned to his daughter. "You might believe that I'm fully retired Mayu, but when the time comes I will return to help Kagome."
Mayu laughed lightly at her father, turning to head back inside. "And what exactly are you going to help her with father? Kagome is perfectly able to handle things on her own."
The man cast his eyes down ward. "Naraku called today."
Mayu froze. "A-and what did He want?"
"He wants a merger." the elder man shuddered, returning inside to his now cold coffee. "He wishes to merge with the company. And you know as well as everyone else."
Releasing the breath the was holding, she returned to cleaning the dirty dishes. "Of course." She gripped tightened as she closed her eyes. "What Naraku wants, Naraku gets."
Welp, there it is:) Chapter one. So I thought this came out pretty well. But of course I need the lovely readers to review and tell me what you think. So the button is below, like always. Feel free to say whatever. Helpful criticism is welcome:) However, flames are looked down upon and I'll just ignore those. Key word here people. "HELPFUL!" The other kind of criticism is disgraceful. so shame on you who has flamed before. Shame! But anywho, review my darlings. :D
