Sesshomaru sat in his office as he began to get ready for another business meeting. He stepped into his Calvin Klein shoes and redid his tie. He then walked back to his desk and paged his secretary. "Mei, if someone calls tell them that I am in a meeting and that I will get with them as soon as possible," said Sesshomaru.
"I will do that sir," said Mei as she is filing her finger nails. "Oh Mr. Sesshomaru, what if your daughter calls?"
"Then you may come get me," Sesshomaru responded. Sesshomaru walked into the conference room and sat at the right of his father Inutaisho, the founder and President of Technology for the Future, and waited for the meeting to commence. Soon, one by one the managers began to fill in. Each of the managers sat at their usual seat and began to talk. Soon Inuyasha came and sat the left of the head seat. "What too you Inuyasha?" asked Sesshomaru. "You know Inuyasha, you're to be here five minutes early not five minutes late," Sesshomaru said letting his half-demon brother know his role.
"Shut up and mind your own business Sesshomaru," responded Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I suggest you watch what you say because soon I will be the President and your boss," Sesshomaru said to get up under his brother's skin.
Inuyasha chuckles, "Well, you might want to speak to Father about that." Sesshomaru smirk faded quickly.
"What the hell does that suppose to mean?" asked Sesshomaru.
"How about you ask Father about it? Inuyasha stated as their Father walked into the conference room. Everyone sat at attention when the president of Technology for the Future, Inutaisho, sat down in the head seat.
"Let us begin," Inutaisho said to start off the meeting.
45 Minutes Later
Sesshomaru leaned back in his black Italian leather office seat and crossed his legs on top of his ebony wood desk. 'What the hell did Inuyasha mean by that?' he pondered as he stared at the ceiling. Suddenly his office phone begins to ring. Sesshomaru looks at the caller ID and sighed, "Yes Mei, what is it?"
"Sir, the president wishes to speak with you," said Mei.
"Did he tell you why?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No sir, he did not," she responded.
"Alright, I will be there in five minutes," he replied in an almost stressed tone.
Sesshomaru stood and walked to his office mirror and checks his appearance. He stood in front of the President's door and checked with his demon sense of hearing and smell to see if there was anyone in the room. Sesshomaru knocked on the door three times and waited a reply. "Come in," Inutaisho commanded. Inutaisho's oldest son walked to see an Inu-demon hunched over the office desk.
"You wished to speak with me, sir?" said Sesshomaru.
"Yes, of course. Have a seat and I will be right with you, Sesshomaru" he said without looking up. Inutaisho continued his writing as Sesshomaru sat down in the plump leather chair front of the desk. Three minutes passed as Sesshomaru waited impatiently for his Father to speak. Sesshomaru began to tap the chair's arm with the tips of his claws. "That's very distracting Mr. Itchoda," Inutaisho stated. Sesshomaru stopped and crossed his arms. Sesshomaru's Father finally speaks, "Mr. Sesshomaru, I have called you in here to discuss certain matters at hand."
"Do these matters concern with business or family?" asked Sesshomaru.
"These matters concern with both of them," Inutaisho said with a concern on his face. "You see Sesshomaru; this business is somewhat of a family business. When I created this company, some time ago, I wanted to be preserved so that my eldest would one day run the business."
"I'm ready to run it now," Sesshomaru insisted.
"You think you're ready but you're not," Inutaisho replied.
"What do you mean?" he irrated.
"I mean that you are lacking in some areas," Inutaisho said educating his son.
"Like what!" Sesshomaru yelled.
"You lack compassion, patience, selflessness, passion, and love," Inutaisho listed out for his son.
"How does any of that link with this company and me?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I don't have to explain it to you, Sesshomaru," Inutaisho stated calmly.
"What do I need to do?" Sesshomaru asked as he had a strange feeling of what his Father might say.
"I suggest you find a wife," he said.
"You're kidding me, right?" Sesshomaru said in shock.
"No, having a wife will teach these things," Inutaisho informed to his son.
"You're making me marry someone?" Sesshomaru asked out of curiosity.
"No, I'm giving you a choice," he stated.
"Then my answer is no," Sesshomaru said quickly as he not gonna waste anymore time on this topic.
"You haven't even heard the other choices," Inutaisho said knowing his son would not like them.
"It is still no," Sesshomaru said again to his Father. Walking out his Father says this:
"You marry and inherit the company or you don't marry and Inuyasha will get the company," Inutaisho stated giving his son an ultimatum.
"Are you fucking serious?" asked Sesshomaru as his face is bloody red.
"Yes, I'm serious," he said sitting comfortably at his desk.
"Fine then," said Sesshomaru realizing he has no choice.
"Sesshomaru, you have at least six months," Inutaisho informed. "Have a good day, sir?" Sesshomaru leaves the office as temper had been flared at what had just occurred. He goes back to his own office to try and calm down knowing that his six year old daughter, Rin, will ask him if something is bothering him. Sesshomaru looked at the clock on his desk and saw that it was seven o' clock. He leaves his office and goes to his car to be with his little girl.
Sesshomaru got to his house unlocked the door and a voice said, Welcome home, Mr. Sesshomaru." That was Kuniko, Sesshomaru's maid and caretaker. Sesshomaru just nodded as his was just glad to leave what had happened at work alone for at least the rest of the night. "I cooked some chicken lo mien," said Kuniko with a smile on her face. "Would you like me to heat it up for you?"
"Yes, that would be fine, thank you," Sesshomaru said graciously.
"Sesshomaru, you're home!" Rin squealed. She ran up to her father and jumped up in his arms.
"Why aren't you in bed?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I just now got out of the bath tub," Rin giggled. "I was waiting for you to get home."
"Rin, what did I tell you about waiting for me?" Sesshomaru asked to see how she would respond.
"Sesshomaru-sama said to go to sleep after Rin is out of tub," she said.
Sesshomaru smirks at her innocent reply. "Let's get you to bed."
"Okey Dokey," Rin said. Sesshomaru takes his little girl to her room and tucks her in bed.
"Rin, you know how much I've been at work lately and I just want to know if you would like someone else here with you?" Sesshomaru asked.
"But I like Kuniko-chan," Rin whined.
"I was talking about you having a mother around," said Sesshomaru clearing up what he said previously. "Rin would you like to have a mommy?" Rin nodded with a bright smile on her face.
"Sesshomaru, when I get a mommy does that mean I can call you daddy?" asked Rin as she has wanted to call him that for as long as she could remember.
"We'll talk about it Rin," Sesshomaru said to avoid the question.
"Okay… good night Sesshomaru-soma," Rin said as she closed her eyes.
"Good Night Rin."
