Rin tried to calm herself as she rode the VIP elevator to the top floor. It meant for the important businessman and women who came to conduct business and for the top heads, but her floor manger had given her the pass card and told her that the CEO had told her to use it. She had never met the CEO and was fearful that she had done something wrong in one of the reports.

She was trying her beside not to faint at the thought that Naraku had somehow found out where she worked and got her fired. However, why would the CEO be doing it instead of just having the floor manger do for him? That was another thing that caused her to freak at the news. The CEO was male and she didn't do well with males.

The elevator dinged and she stepped off into a very luxury designed hallway. She took a deep breath before making her way down the hall following her floor manager's directions. She rounded the corner to see a large waiting room with a desk set in a corner near the window and two large double oak doors with a little green imp sitting typing away at the keyboard.

Rin cleared her throat drawing his attention.

"Can I help you?" He asked not all sure whether she should be there or not.

"I was asked to come up and see the CEO." She answered folding her hands behind her back to stop pulling at her fingers.

He pulled a large appointment book towards him, "Name?"

"Rin Miko."

"I don't see your name…"

"My floor manager just sent me up."

"Well, your floor manager should have called beforehand." He growled back at her before waving her away.

Rin nodded and was about to turn away when the door was thrown open and a tall,da well-dressed man stepped out, his icy stare landing on the imp. "Miss Miko?"

Rin nodded, not sure what to do.

"Step inside." He stepped aside to allow her to walk pass. "Have a seat. I will be with you in a moment." He shut the door leaving Rin to stare wide eye at the oak finish. She looked around at the well-designed office. There was a small sitting area off to the right with a couch, two plush chairs and a coffee table; in front of her was a large desk with two chairs matching the ones from the sitting area and a large office chair behind it.

Rin groaned at the thought that her boss was not just a man, but a demon remembering the markings on his face. Should this one be a womanizer, she would be in trouble. Demons were not easy to say no to since they were thought of higher then humans. They got what they wanted when they wanted it. She sunk down into the one of the chairs facing the desk, unsure whether she would survive this meeting without a panic attack.

…}{…

Sesshomaru felt her fear through the door. Nothing that he hadn't felt before from many of his employees, but this time it hit him like a ton of bricks. He had the urge to rush back into his office and comfort her, but he shook the feeling off before turning his glare onto his assistant.

"Jaken?" He started, keeping his voice even. "It would do you some good to remember that I am your boss and should an employee of mine comes up here with orders, you should call to double check with me before sending them on their way." He didn't want for answer before entering his office again to find the woman sitting in a chair before his desk.

At the sight of her, he felt his demon growling, pulling at control. He pushed him back down and made his way to his desk. "Miss Miko."

"Sire?"

He looked at her over the large surface of his desk. Her dark hair was done up in a loose bun leaving her deep chocolate eyes viewable. She had little makeup one and he pleased to smell only her scent with no added perfumes. His demon growled again. "I was looking over the report you did up for the Shiko Company." He started picking up the file with the letter attached from the Company's CEO.

"Is anything wrong with it?" She asked, her fear growing stronger.

"Nothing at all. In fact, it is beyond what either us expected. The Shiko's CEO, as do I, wishes for you to work on this project with us. Should you do well, I will see that you are promoted to handle more projects." He lowered the file to see what her reaction was to the announcement. He was shocked to see she had turned white as a sheet. He was worried she could faint at any moment.

"I…" She took a deep breath, "I'm glad the work was beyond what you expected and I do appreciate the offer to continue with the project and the possible promotion, but I must decline." She went to stand, "If that is all…"

He shook his head, "No that is not."

She took her seat again.

"I am sorry to say that I cannot have you decline working the project. The Shiko Company refuses to do any business with unless you are willing to continue with it. As for the promotion, I have read your file and take note to the many promotion that have been offered to you since you started working for us, yet you are still in the typist pool. Why have you turned them down?"

She frowned, "It's personal, sire. It is also personal reasons for not wanting to work on this project."

He frowned leaning back in his chair, "I see. Well, I am sorry to hear that. Can you explain what these personal reasons are?" He was having a hard time keeping his mind on track with his demon trying to sniff her out. It would seem that his demon was finding her of interest and was pleased with what he was sensing.

"I would rather not." She stood, "I do have to go now. I am sorry." She bolted before he could stop her this time. He was left with an empty feeling, his demon wining at the lost, and confused as to why this woman hadn't thrown herself at him like many others had. Hell, she had tried to sit as far from him as possible, even bumping to the door as she passed him on the way in just not to touch him. He was not one to question other's fears, but this one got him interested. This one seemed to fear him for reasons unknown.

He smirked, well he would just have to work at her a little and find the answers. It would seem he would not get any rest from his demon until his mate was safe. He froze at calling her his mate. He had never done that before. Had he found his mate? In a human? He shook his head, but stopped as his demon growled again. It would seem his demon would believe her to be his mate. He leaned back thinking over the fact that her scent had calmed him, how her fear had caused unnatural feelings inside him, and how she had woken his demon from many years of slumber. It would seem that he had in fact found his mate, but in a human?

…}{…

Rin rinsed her mouth out for the third time after puking. She had just made to the bathroom on the top floor before the panic became too strong for her to hold. She leaned on the counter taking deep breaths to calm down. She was surprised that she hadn't hurled in his office at his suggestion of working on the project with him and the Shiko Company, let alone just being in the same room alone with him.

She lifted her face to look at her ashen face. She wouldn't be able to return to work like this. She wondered if she could make it back to her without running into anyone. She would then gather her things before telling her floor manager that she needed to go home. Rin took a deep breath and walked into the hallway only to stifle a scream at the sight of a familiar silver demon leaning against the far wall.

"You shouldn't be working if you're sick, Miss Miko." He stated pushing away from the wall causing Rin to take an automatic step back.

She should have known his demon senses would pick up on her puking seconds ago, though why he was not picking up on the fact that she didn't smell sick other than puking, she didn't know. "I um…wasn't aware that I was until now, sir. I was just about to go ask if the floor manager if I could go home early." She started moving sideways towards the elevator when he reached out to take her wrist. Rin jumped and tried to pull back. She could fill the fear building again along with the bile.

"Easy, I'm going to eat you." The demon stated moving towards her. "I'm just giving you a ride home."

Rin started to shake, "No, I'm fine. I can take a taxi." She pulled at her wrist, trying to get away from him.

He narrowed his eyes, "I will not allow it." He pulled her down the hall towards his office again. The little green imp started to say something only to have the door slammed in his face. Rin felt sick again and covered her mouth only to have the demon push her towards another door in his office. "You can use the bathroom here while I get my stuff."

Rin took off for the room, shutting the door behind her. She shouldn't have told him no. Demons never took no for answer. Rin groaned as she kneeled next to the toilet. She was in trouble now. She closed her eyes, tired of the feelings flowing through her. She moaned as she felt someone pick her up and the laid her down again. A cold, wet cloth was pressed to her face. She turned her face away groaning. She refused to be another male's toy. She refused.

Well, here it is the second chapter. I wonder what will happen when Sesshomaru finds out about her past. I guess we will have to wait and see. Another note, it would seem Rin is Sesshomaru's mate. I wondered what Rin will have to say or puke at that knowledge. Next chapter coming soon.
