Chapter 3

As soon as the faint whiff of honeysuckle reached his nose, Sesshomaru looked up from his paper work and checked his Rolex. Eight o'clock sharp with a knock on his office door.

"Come in." he ordered organizing his morning work and gathering files that needed to be worked on.

"Sesshomaru-sama," his personal assistant greeted as he opened the door and bowed, "Nori-san is here to see you."

Sesshomaru nodded and waved his hand for Jaken to leave. Jaken stepped out of his office as he heard him tell the human to quickly get inside as Sesshomaru-sama did not have all day to wait for a slow human.

The soft click of heels immediately picked up its pace and walked through his office door. Sesshomaru leaned back in his chair, observing the human's behavior as she walked up to his desk and bowed her head, sending a stronger wave of honeysuckle to hit him.

"Good morning Taisho-sama," she politely greeted.

"Hm," Sesshomaru responded casting his eyes away from her and back to the file at hand, "sit."

From his peripheral vision he saw her hesitantly sit down on one of his office chairs playing with her fingers as he finished reviewing the files. He looked up seeing her avoid eye contact by looking down at his carpeted floor and growled causing her head to snap up again.

"Today you will continue your work as being my executive secretary. Here are files that need to be translated in English, organized in alphabetical order and sent to these addresses. Once you're done with those you can work on the other files over there which also need to be translated and sent," he gestured to the stacked files across his desk, "all of this needs to be sent by tomorrow morning before ten."

He watched her eyes move from him to the desk he gestured to and saw them widen with the amount of paperwork she would have to do. Sesshomaru almost smirked at how fearful she looked. This is the kind of responsibility of what it would be like as his executive secretary. He would demand a secretary who would be able to do everything before he even asked them to do it.

You're forgetting that you're also doing this to prove ChiChi wrong about hiring the little thing said his inner youkai.

'That's irrelevant, that is merely for my personal satisfaction. This is about what it will be like as my secretary and if the human can handle this kind of pressure' Sesshomaru responded to himself.

"You're dismissed," Sesshomaru ordered, picking up his ink pen, he went back to his work of reviewing contracts.

"I-um," she softly spoke after a few seconds of silence, "I don't work here anymore."

Sesshomaru glanced at her with a look of apathy. "I wouldn't be giving you this paperwork if you didn't work here." He stated simply looking up at her with an emotionless expression.

She bit her lip and looked hesitant to speak again but decided not too and nodded her head. Standing up from the seat, she picked up the file, wincing at the weight and shifted it to the other side of her uninjured body. She bowed again and quickly walked out of his office, softly shutting the door.

Delicate little thing, but also…strong. Interesting to see her in pain after the damage we've caused to her and still have courage to come back to us

'Why are you so interested in the human?' Sesshomaru asked, a bit disgusted at himself for not understanding his inner youkai's fascination to the human.

Her scent…is so…familiar

'Familiar?' Sesshomaru questioned.

Ravishing Sesshomaru felt his youkai pull away and burrow back into his cage beneath his chest, not wanting to speak anymore.

Confused, Sesshomaru listened to his secretary with his demonic hearing. He heard her flipping the pages to the file, the sound of the pen scrapping across the paper, her even breathing and steady heartbeat. There was nothing familiar about the human. Nothing at all.

Ignoring any urge to investigate more in depth to what his youkai meant, Sesshomaru went back to his work, though a small portion in the back of his mind kept listening to her soothing, rhythmic heartbeat.


After finishing up the last of translating the file and typing up the address, did Rin finally sigh. She looked at her remaining files and saw she had almost finished half by setting a good pace for herself. She glanced at the time on the computer screen seeing it was almost noon. Three and a half hours of working on the files. She decided to take a quick fifteen-minute break by buying some lunch before finishing the remaining files. Had she known she was going to be doing this when she stepped into the building and would be getting her job back, she would have packed herself lunch.

She glanced at the door behind her and bit her lip. Taisho-sama left for a conference an hour ago and should be back soon, so she would need to hurry before he came back and noticed her gone. Rin quickly grabbed her things and stood up immediately feeling the eyes of the youkai employees scrutinizing her appearance.

Head down and avoiding eye contact, Rin quickly walked down the hall to the elevators and pressed the lobby button, grateful no one was in the elevator with her. Rin bit her bottom lip again, remembering Taisho-sama's golden eyes as he stared at her and flushed. They were still as beautiful as she remembered them to be. He hadn't aged at all since the last time she saw him. He still looked the same, but with a much colder demeanor. Nineteen years had passed since she first met him and yet the memory was still clear and crisp in her mind. Her seven-year-old naïve self would still be dreaming of their promise not knowing her world would be crashing down a year later.

When the elevator bell dinged, Rin quickly stepped out and crossed the lobby, making sure to not get in anyone's way. She walked half a block to the nearest 7/11 and bought a bottle of green tea, onigiri, and a fruit salad. She thanked the cashier for the change and walked back up to her desk, taking the elevator up and ignoring the intense gazes of the youkai again. As she walked to her desk, she slowed down when she saw the back of a tall person with silver hair, in a black suit, with dog ears?

"Hey! Quit staring at my ears!" an annoyed voice said snapping her from looking at the appendages. Embarrassed, Rin quickly looked down at the floor, the plastic bag in her hands rustling.

"Apologies," Rin whispered bowing her head, "it's just that-um, you're blocking me from my desk."

"Ah! So, you're the human who works for Sesshomaru?!" he exclaimed loudly with a laugh as Rin felt his eyes scan her body.

Flustered, Rin nodded her head. "Taisho-sama is not in his office at the moment, but if you are willing to wait a few more minutes, I'm sure he will be back soon."

The youkai laughed and leaned on the desk. "Nah, I definitely don't want to see that bastard. I'm merely here because of the rumors going around that Sesshomaru actually hired a human to be his executive secretary and I can't believe that it's true. Not a sore sight for the eyes either."

Rin hesitantly nodded her head again and looked at her seat.

"I-well it's a pleasure to meet you, but I-um, need to go back to work." Rin gestured to the files he was currently leaning on and he immediately got up.

"Oh wow, you're a real deal secretary too, and not just some bimbo who wants to get on Sesshomaru's dick."

Hearing his comment, Rin felt her cheeks warm up with more embarrassment and jumped when she heard a deadly growl from behind.

"Inuyahsa."

Rin spun around seeing Taisho-sama look menacingly at the other youkai. Immediately Rin took several steps away from the building tension.

"Sesshomaru." The youkai, Inuyasha, greeted back with a smirk like he won something.

"What are you doing here." Taisho-sama, snarled out and took a step forward.

"Just here to see your new secretary and I'll admit, she's pretty cute." Inuyasha teased out making Rin flush even more. Rin's whole entire face felt hot and the way he was looking at her made her want to hide behind Taisho-sama from those piercing eyes.

"She's a pathetic human."

"Well she can't be that pathetic then for you to hire her."

"Get. Out. Now." Taisho-sama ordered baring his fangs.

Inuyasha, who looked thoroughly satisfied, complied and walked past Sesshomaru and looked back at Rin with a wink. Rin looked at Inuyahsa with a confused expression before feeling her arm being pulled with great strength, making her drop the bag of food.

Next thing she knew she was back inside Taisho-sama's office wincing at the harsh slam of the door. She watched Taisho-sama retreat back to his seat and look up at her with irritation.

"Did you give him permission to be on my floor?" Taisho-sama growled out like a wild animal ready to snap at any moment.

Rin quickly shook her head no, not wanting to anger her boss any more than she had. "No."

"Then where the hell where you?" he demanded.

Rin swallowed her fear again, knowing something like yesterday may happen again. "I-I was out buying food."

"Out? So, you decided to give yourself a break?"

Rin nodded her head. "Hai."

"Listen here human," he sharply said causing Rin to wince at his tone, "secretaries don't get breaks. You sit in that chair until you complete all of the work that I give you. You don't get to rest until your job is complete. Do you understand?"

Rin nodded her head, biting her lip. "Hai Taisho-sama."

"Then get back to work. I'm not paying you to take breaks. And make sure to never let that damn half-breed step foot on my floor again, because otherwise, I will kill you." He dismissed.

Rin nodded her head again. Feeling tears burn at the corner of her eyes at the humiliation of having this talk. She swallowed the tightness she felt in the back of her throat and bowed before exiting his office.


You didn't have to punish her like that

'She didn't have to leave for a break. I did not permit her'

She's human

'Exactly. She knows nothing of being my secretary'

She's human meaning they need their breaks. They do not function properly without their source of energy and rest. She will burn out

'All the more reason why humans are pathetic, weak, pitiful beings'

But she is different

Sesshomaru felt his youkai becoming irritated as he retreated back into his cage. Sesshomaru sighed in confusion at his youkai's strange behavior towards his secretary. He did not understand why his youkai seemed to feel attracted to her. He…didn't understand. And this confusion was something he did not like.

Perhaps he needed a break from work. Sesshomaru took out his phone and scrolled through his contacts until he found the demoness he was looking for. Kagura Onigumo. He hit the call button and was greeted with a sultry tone.

"Sesshomaru, what a pleasant surprise to have you call me," Kagura greeted, "What can I do for you?"

Sesshomaru almost smirked at her suggestive tone and leaned back into his chair. "Do you have time for a luncheon meeting?"


Kagura rolled herself on her back onto the bed, breathlessly breathing out in exhaustion. She looked at Sesshomaru who was already putting on his suit and sighed in annoyance at their short meetings. Even though the sex was always amazing and mind-blowing, Kagura always felt like she was just another cold fuck to him, and she wanted more. She wanted a relationship. She wanted to be his mate. She leaned against the headboard of the bed and admired Sesshomaru's body licking her lips at how easy it would be to have it all to herself.

"Leaving so quickly?" Kagura asked tilting her head to the side to expose more of her long neck in temptation.

"Hm." Was his response as he ignored her seductive antics and started buttoning up his white shirt.

"Back to your little human secretary?" she almost sneered her red eyes seeing him hesitate for a fraction of a second.

"You heard?" he asked continuing to get dressed.

"It's hard not to when the press is raving on how the cold, human hating, Sesshomaru has finally hired one by giving her the most important position as his executive secretary." Kagura extracted as she got up from bed, using the white sheet to cover her naked body. She walked up to him taking the tie from his hand and putting it on herself.

"I didn't hire her," Sesshomaru snapped ripping the tie from her neck, "ChiChi did."

Kagura rolled her eyes at his daddy issues and dropped her white sheet as she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him in for a passionate kiss. She smiled when Sesshomaru returned it and motioned them towards the bed, getting excited at having another round with his body.

"Perhaps you need more time to unwind." Kagura suggested with a smirk as her hands undid his zipper, feeling him start to get excited as well.


To have this story make sense, Rin is 26. Also, I am thinking about making this story become rated M. I am thinking of having the whole story be rated T with a chapter here and there with some smut. I haven't fully decided yet, but if I should, please tell me.
