Chapter 2
I spent the next couple of days looking for a job. But no matter how many other places I applied to I couldn't get a job. I even got turned down at the ice cream shop. After I spend the whole day looking for a job I gave up. I had to walk 15 blocks till I reached home. I couldn't even afford to take the bus.
The whole way home I kept thinking about Bankotus. How could he get a job working for that guy? Well I really couldn't blame him; times were hard for every one. But still, sometimes I can't believe I'm friends with that guy. He was reckless and over confident. The man was a complete idiot. But I could never stay mad at him for long, he was my best friend. We've been friends since we were kids even thou he's seven years younger then me. My father use to send us on mission together all the time, he did have a talent for killing and tricking. That's why he was a high ranking member in the gang. Even after the gang was destroyed were still friends.
At home I found Kagura playing cards with Kana and Bankotus. The small TV we had was on the news. The apartment was basically empty except for a bed, coffee table and TV. I had to share the bed with my two sisters.
"Hey Naraku any luck finding a job." Bankotus asked.
"No" I said and walked to the bath room to take a cold shower. The water company turned off the hot water, I couldn't pay for it. When I got out Kana went in to take a bath.
"So Naraku do you want to go to Taisho corp. now?" the long haired man asked.
"Fine, I have no choice."
"Great we'll go first thing tomorrow morning" He said. Kana came out of the bath room wearing the same cloths she had on before. I sighed, I really needed to get a steady job. My sisters only had two pares of cloths each, I myself had three pares.
"Naraku, more bills came today and the bank wants there loan back." Kagura said.
"I managed to pay the apartment so we won't be homeless this month. But it's going to be hard to buy food this week."
"We have half a box of cereal for breakfast and a can of soup for dinner." Kana said opening the almost empty cabinets. Every one let out a sigh.
The next day I put on my best cloths, the first impression is the most important. We both walked 20 blocks before we reached the building. It was a giant sky scraper about 50 floors high.
"Well come to Taisho Corp. What do you think?" He asked.
"It's big."
Bankotus showed me around the first floor. He took me to the waiting room to get an application. After that he left to go to work. The waiting room was basically empty; I sat there and filled out the papers. It took me hours to finishing filling the papers out. Thank god it didn't ask me any questions about my family. I was about to turn my application in when I accidentally ran into some one.
"Watch it" I said.
Looking up I saw a tall man he was about five inches taller then me. He was a very handsome young man; he had long silver hair that reached his butt. He had the most beautiful golden eyes. He seemed strangely familiar but I couldn't figure out where I'v seen him before. He looked like the pretty boy type. The man spent a whole minute staring at me, he looked surprise or shocked. I swore I saw him smirk at me but it was gone to fast to be sure.
"Well aren't you a sassy thing." Before I could curse him out he snatched my application from my hands.
"Hey what are you doing?" he looked over the papers.
"Naraku Hekio, huh" he whispered.
"You're hired; I'm Taisho Sesshoumaru, your new boss. You will call me Sir, Mr. Sesshoumaru or Sesshoumaru-sama, either one will do fine.
I stood completely shocked. This was the man how destroyed my business, threw my father in jail and left me struggling to survive and now he's my new boss. I knew I be working for him but I thought he be in one of his other buildings or in some mansion. Wait this kid took down my dad, he looks like he still a teen. Hey, why was the boss of a huge business just walking around? Shouldn't he be working or at meetings? I was snapped out of my daze when he called my name.
"Naraku, come along, its time to assign you to your new position." He walked toward the elevator.
"How about I give you a tour before I put you to work, hmmm?" he asked
"Su-re" I said nervously. Please don't let him know who I am.
The first stop was the employ kitchen. It wasn't that big, the refrigerator was basically a mini frig. And there was only a coffee maker. Usually there would be two of three in an office kitchen. I guess he did spend much money on his employs. I was lead to a different part of the floor that had 40 cubicles. They were small and cramped together. The chairs were regular wooden ones and the computers were old and out dated. The key board took most of the space on the desk. All the workers were quickly working at a quick pace. Each worker had a huge stack of papers on their desk.
"You see Naraku at Taisho Corp. We all work very hard to keep up with our costumers demands. I expect the same from you" he led me to a door.
"This is my office; you will not enter with out my permission" I knobbed.
"And this nice little cubicle is yours." He showed me a cubicle that looked smaller then the others. The computer was old and very dusty. The desk was all scratched up and the keyboard was missing a Ctrl button. It looked like no one has used it in years
"What do you think? I figured you wouldn't mind having one close to my office, you should be honored." I never wanted to kill some one so badly. I would have killed him to, but I needed this job.
"Come on, sit down. I don't have all day." Sighing I wiped the dust from the seat and sat down. It seemed to please him. The desk was too short to fit my knees under so I had to stretch them in front of me. It was humiliating and uncomfortable.
"How does it feel" he asked. How does he think it feels? He can plainly see me struggling to sit.
"The desk is to short for my legs"
"No your legs are to long for the desk but if you don't want the job there are plenty of other people who would want the job.
"No, no I want the job so what am I suppose to do?" His lips twisted in an evil smirk.
"You will do many things… I will give you paper work and you will do it. You will right reports and memos. Oh and if I need you do a few errands for me, you will do them." Errand, does he want me to get him coffee or something.
"Oh and Naraku work hard, I would hate to have to fire you." with that he left me in the cubical. A few minutes later a girl. Looking over the paper the work looked easy enough. All I had to do was some simple math. Then I had to order some more pencil and plastic cups for the office. The only problem was that I didn't know how many to order, there were no papers saying how many. I would have no choice but to ask Sesshoumaru.
Getting out of my sort seat I made my way to Sesshoumaru's office. It wasn't that long of a walk, his office was right there. Before I knocked on the door I notice all eyes were on me. Some people were giving me worried looks and others were shaking there head saying mouthing the word no. Swallowing hard I knock on the door.
"Come in" Sesshoumaru said. Opening the door I close it behind me. My eyes widen, his office was incredible. There was a spotless white carpet, the curtains were made from silk and had golden lace. Two, three seat sofas stood in the center of the room, in front there was a top of the line black message chair. On his huge desk he had a high text laptop and there he was behind the desk sitting in a very comfortable looking arm chair. His eyes were looking straight at me. He was smirking and tapping his pencil on top of his coffee mug.
"I had a feeling it was you Naraku. What do you want?" He said coldly despite his pretty boy appearance his voice was very deep.
"It's about the order for the office supplies. It doesn't say how many to order.
"There should have been a paper saying how many, I'll tell Kikyou to give them to you. If that is all leave." Knobbing I quickly made my way out the door.
