Will Love Transcend Time?

By Kaleidoscope9o1

CHAPTER 1


As Sesshoumaru-sama pulled into the driveway of the giant glass building from the back in a Maybach Exelero, a group of three nervous people greeted him at the door. One opened the car and waited for him to get out before getting in to the car himself to park it in it's appropriate place. The other one handed him his morning's black coffee with no sugar and cinnamon. Odd combination but you really can't blame him since he is an odd man to began with.. oops! Sorry! I meant youkai... Taiyoukai if you want to be really specific. He is after all the ruler of the mighty western lands of Japan. Confused about how youkai and taiyoukai exist in out world? Well we never really see them because they are a really well kept secret by Governments all across the world.

About 350 years ago, in ancient Nihon-koku, Youkai and ningen came to an agreement that all the war and bloodshed needed to end between the ningen and youkai so eventually they came to an agreement that both species could live in relative peace if the youkai agreed to be banished into a part of japan and never come out and powerful barriers would be erected around the region.. But of course the youkai would not agree to this appalling treaty but want the humans didn't know was this treaty was only meant to satisfy the ningen and help them feel secure as the youkai could live in their full glory if they resided in an area allotted specifically for them or they could give up their youkai traits and live amongst ningens. They would be given a large island to conduct their youkai business where they could roam around freely if they so wished. Many youkai stayed on in the island it being familiar territory but a small population also decided to venture on into the world of the ningen. These youkai had powerful magic placed on them which dulled their youkai traits leaving them fairly harmless but on the more powerful youkai this magic could at most dull their claws and fangs and any other natural weapon but their senses would remain fully intact as well as their youkai instincts and inner youkai. Sesshoumaru-sama was among these powerful youkai. Many prospered in this new and queer world and some even failed to adapt just to return to their secluded island to live as they were born to live. One of these successful youkai is the Taiyoukai of the West, Sesshoumaru-sama, who rose to be one of the most successful names is the corporate world. With his company spread across 4 continents and assets tallying up to billions. He is also the world's most eligible bachelors according to the top selling magazines across the seven seas. His fandom was spread across both ningen onna and youkai onna despite him being a youkai.

Now enough with the back story let us return to the bachelor in demand here.

As Sesshoumaru-sama got hold of this routine morning coffee a woman started off with his schedule of day, only moving on to the next agenda after getting an affirmative nod or a silent "hmm" from the elegant man. Donning a tailor-made suit it was really hard not to let your eyes go over his figure at least 2-3 times before regaining your senses and starting any sort of conversation. If something was not to this man's liking then he would convey it in a velvet voice with as few words as possible which left any woman week in the knees and longing to hear more of the heavenly voice and as for the men, it left them fuming with jealousy and anger for housing such perfectness.

"Umm... Taishou-sama..." nervously spoke a woman. Her voice seeming slightly out of breath ( which I believe is because of following Sesshoumaru-sama at such a fast pace while speaking and taking notes).

"Yes?" came the reply from the silver haired being in a questioning tone and a quirked eyebrow (which is perfectly arched, mind you) while he came to a halt in front of his mahogany office doors on the 27th floor of the building. The reason for his quirked eyebrow being that he was not at all used to lingering around and waiting for his secretary to speak something in such a edgy and wasteful manner. She very well knew the consequences of those employees who dared to waste his time.

"It's.. actually about..." she tried again but could not find the words or guts to convey her message and started wringing her fingers.

Sesshoumaru-sama turned around completely to face his secretary, Odagiri Kaito (who is the most long lasting secretary till date), this time with an amused smirk playing on his light pink lips, "If you were not about to leave this job anyways I would definitely threaten to sack you right now but seeing as that cannot be used as a threat I will ask you once more to enunciate your thoughts this very moment then I will be forced to make you work an extra month before letting you go... Now will you speak?" saying his last words he turned back to the door and turned the knob to enter his office and in the process missing his secretary's delightful sneer gracing her cherry red lips.

"Of course Sesshoumaru-sama. What I was meaning to tell you is that you are yet to inform me of your plus one for this Saturday's event. I have to set up the list up the guest list by Wednesday and your's is the only one left..." She retorted in a annoyed and outraged tone even though she knew Sesshoumaru-sama did not mean what he spoke of, that was just his own style of social courtesies. Not that it extended to every one, just the one's got on his nerves less than the others.

"What event?" Sesshoumaru-sama questioned already browsing through some files and important documents. His coat and blazer sitting on the back of his chair and his reading glasses already perched on his nose making him look even sexier, if that is even possible.

"Don't tell me that the mighty Taiyoukai of the western lands has forgotten such an important event already? My my, won't you be in big trouble..." she finished in a tone a mixture of amusement and mock astonishment.

"Important event.." murmured Sesshoumaru-sama still engrossed in a stack of official papers, "What important event? I can't recall anything important happening this weekend..." he continued to grumble after a pause though only to peruse more papers.

"You can't?" exclaimed Kaito-san through amusement clearly evident in her eyes. "Rin-chan will certainly not forgive you. You will hurt her gravely!" she intoned in a dramatic voice taking a perch on a chair opposite him.

"Rin? What has she got to do with this?" he inquired, finally looking up from a mess of spread out sheets and opened folders which only he could make head or foot of.

"I don't believe I should tell you. After all you did threaten me only a few moments before. I don't see any reason to help you out here." She replied with a smirk on her face and a aloof aura surrounding her. The fact that she was checking her nails through half lidded eyes seemed to vex him further.

"Woman! Just answer me, will you? If your reply is 'no' then even Kami-sama will not be able to help you." He taunted in an exasperated manner while resting his chin on his palms placed one above the other while both elbows stood on his desk. His eyebrow quirked again he waited for a reply.

"Hmm... No need to trouble Kami-sama... Since I feel very magnanimous today "-a scoff from the silvered hair youkai uninterrupted her but she continued on -"I will let you know it is a party being hosted by Rin-chan"- hearing this he shrugged and went right back to his files while Kaito-san continued this time with a smirk and a wicked glint in her eyes -"since it is Rin-chan's birthday..."

"Kuso..." was immediately heard from the youkai lord's mouth and his eyes went wide as soon as Kaito-san finished speaking. Immediately turning to Kaito-san and in the process dropping some of his paper's he spoke "I haven't bought anything for her. I forgot about this day completely. You have go immediately and purchase an appropriate gift for Rin..." He got up and started pacing behind his chair. After a few seconds he abruptly turned to her and furrowed his brows and then slowly quirked one brow when he suddenly started smirking. "And why exactly are you still sitting here? I recall asking you to do something!" He spoke in an annoyed and frustrated tone. When she furthered continued to smirk and NOT REPLY! He instantly banged his table with both his palm and stared a her for an answer. Just when he was about to lash out again Kaito-san immediately stood up with a cheery smile and burst out into laughter. Sesshoumaru-sama just stared at a blank expression but if one saw extremely closely they would see a slight glint of perplexity in his golden orbs.

"Ne, ne Sesshoumaru-sama! Daijobu desu... I knew you would forget so I already purchased a gift for her.. all parceled up in gift paper and ribbons." Seeing Sesshoumaru-sama's slightly questioning look and slightly relieved posture she burst out laughing again. " Ses-shou-ma-ru-sa-ma" she sing-songed " I have know you for decades and yet getting on your nerves never gets old." He scoffed. "I'm really going to miss that about working with you. This is the only good thing about the job. Ne?" she giggled into her hand.

"Women... " muttered Sesshoumaru-sama.
"By the way... When is the new slave girl coming to take my place? What was her name again..." She started pondering with her arms crossed and an index finger constantly tapping her chin in a rhythemic fashion. Suddenly her eyes lit up with understanding "Aah… Now I remember her name is Higuras—"
BANG! The door flung open.
"Sesshoumaru! Kisama! How dare you?" were the words that broke of kaito-san's narrative and filled the ornately decorated room "You know I had personally appointed Megumi as my PA and yet you fired her!" Bang! The man dressed in a suit and red tie slammed his palms on Sesshoumaru-sama's desk.
The silver haired perfectionist's face became marred with a quirked eyebrow and he casually, yet elegantly, slipped into his luxury chair. He let his eyebrow drop back into place and started going through some papers. If he would have lifted his head to see his impromptu visitor's expression then he would have noticed the popped vein on his forehead throbbing with anger.
Just as the visitor's patience finally wearied and he took a gulp of air to start rousing the dead again Sesshoumaru-sama cut in "You ought to start selecting your secretaries with more care Inuyasha. I know your intelligence is not so promising but I expect to have employees who can at least be slightly productive and also with proper qualifications. She did not even complete her UG so that fact alone leaves her out of the short list let alone the recruitment list."

"Doesn't matter! She was my responsibility so you had to butt out! You always meddle—"

"I do not meddle firstly… and secondly as soon as you decide to employ persons with at least the proper qualification, even if it is simply on paper, then I will stop assessing the productivity of your department and deem it my solemn responsibility to clean out the loitering trash from our company and prevent it from sliding down from the top position that we have held on to for the past five years. This company is not built to satisfy your primal urges and carnal needs little brother and it would do you well to learn this lesson sooner later than later" Sesshoumaru with his tone dripping with false sweetness and a subtle warning but Inuyasha simply faced him with a baffled expression and blinked a couple of times before saying "Could repeat all that again but this time in English! I am pretty sure half the words the glided over my head."

Sesshoumaru looked at his brother, Inuyasha, with pure and raw murder in his slitted irises and clenched his fist.

"Kaito…" Sesshoumaru hissed out "If you don't want to be covering up a murder scandal to the media then I suggest you take is illiterate half-breed out of my sight this instant and explain my reservations to his handling of business activities and make sure that he comprehends them well. OH! And do explain it in English."

"Ha-Hai Sesshoumaru-sama. I will do so." Kaito-san hesitatingly replied and quickly pushed Inuyasha out of the room and bowed to Sesshoumaru before closing the door behind her.

'That bastard! He'll never learn! I cannot fathom why I have kept him alive and around still.' He thought to himself once the room was back to the way he liked it – Calm.

'Because of her…. Because of Kagome' His conscience replied and he sighed.

'So I am back to thinking about her. I wonder when she will leave my mind.'

'When you want her to boy! And you really DON'T want her to. Believe me I know. After all I am you.'

"Grrr… I am not a BOY! And you shall refrain from addressing me so. You do not know what I think of or what so abstain from putting absurd thoughts in my head. I have long forgotten about her. She is no one to me."

'Lie to me all you want but remember you are also lying to me in the bargain and you cannot keep lying to yourself forever.'

"Hn" He grunted and delved no further into his petty mind wars and instead dived into the pile of paper work at his disposal.
