Chapter 4 Traveling

As the pilot had said they arrive at the airport within half an hour after take off. They get off of the helicopter, which still has its rotors running and Genkai follows Kirara with Jaken a little father behind her, making sure that they have everything off of the helicopter, toward a near by building. The building itself, most likely the hanger for the company aircraft, is large and silver with the Tashio logo in black and red taking up a ten foot by ten foot area on both sides of the large doors. They approach the building but do not enter any door. Genkai can hear the as the helicopters engine revs up in order to take off again now that they are clear from the craft. Genkai looks up as they come to the corner of the hanger and she watches as it flies over head. She watches as it flies away over another air craft which her eyes are immediately drawn to.

The new air craft, a jet, is bigger than the usual private jet yet still smaller than a passenger jet used by airliners. As they get closer Genkai can tell, by the way the people around the craft are acting, that the jet is almost ready for take off. Genkai follows Kirara up the stairs and into the cabin which, as far as she can tell, is decorated similarly to the helicopter; light colored seats, all with the logo embroidered in the headrests, and tightly woven carpet. There is some dark trim around the windows and doors but other than that it like the helicopter décor all over again. A stewardess, or flight attendant as they are now called to be politically correct, is waiting for them as they come through the door.

"If you would please follow me we have lunch prepared and ready for you," she informs them. She is wearing a dark blue uniform that consists of a skirt, jacket, heels and a white blouse. The jacket has the Tashio emblem sown on the left breast pocket close to the heart and a pin with her name, Yuki, on the opposite side. She is an attractive woman with dark brown hair that is pulled back into a bun with light brown eyes, slightly tanned skin with a slightly round face and delicate features. Genkai's senses let her know that the woman is human; there are other humans on board along with a few demons as well.

They follow the woman down the 'hall' and she leads them to a door for what looks to be a conference room. The room itself is designed much like Sesshoumaru's office, intimidating and domineering with its bold solid colors and sharp furniture. The chair at the end, farthest from the door and facing it is clearly Sesshoumaru's; it is much bigger than the rest of the chairs with large cushions and arm rests, covered with blood rest velvet with crescent moon stitched in gold on the head rest and on the back of the 's eyes are drawn to the table that despite the small number of people present half of it is covered in trays and bowls all filled with rice, soups, vegetables and other food of a traditional lunch. Kirara, Jaken and Genkai all take seats in the chairs nearest the doors, farthest from the boss's chair with Kirara sitting in the middle with Jaken as far away from Genkai as he could get which wasn't very far. Kirara and Jaken dug in while discussing some things that Genkai guesses has to do with the business while she helped herself to what is available. She tries a little bit of everything, but mainly sticks to with what can be found in a typical lunch box and even though the food itself is quite simple it is delicious and mouthwatering.

They are just finishing up their meal when Kirara turns to Genkai and says," So Genkai-sama I hear that you live at a shrine?"

"You have heard correctly," Genkai says after she takes a sip of her sake.

"Can you tell me anything about it?" Kirara asks as she tilts her head to the side, a sign of her curiosity.

"Well," Genkai begins, "the grounds themselves are quite large, the property expands out to include a large forest, and its own stretch of beach. The property is large enough that my privacy is guaranteed and that no innocent by standers get involved in anything are made aware of any 'supernatural' occurrences. Some demons roam around in the forests and some battles have taken place. I use the grounds for training purposes and to keep my skills sharp. I got it when I decided to retire from competing in tournaments. The last Dark Tournament I participated in, before the one that I helped Yusuke my apprentice with, really changed the way that I looked at the whole business."

"Wow that is really fascinating. I think that we ought to visit sometime. I'm sure that Lord Sesshoumaru would appreciate a place like that to relax and maybe cut loose a little bit," Kirara says as she turns to look at Jaken.

"Don't be ridiculous you foolish cat," he says as he pours himself another cup of sake, "Lord Sesshoumaru is far too busy to do something as foolish as that.

"Exactly," Kirara says as she leans back in her seat. "He works too hard for too long. I could have sworn that I saw some wrinkles across his forehead and around the eye."

"Nonsense," Jaken says waving her off as if dismissing her claim. "Lord Sesshoumaru is still young and powerful demon."

"All the more reason for him to take a break," Kirara says cutting him off. Jaken looks a bit flushed before and turns back to his sake ignoring Kirara who is smiling at him.

They sit in the conference room for a while longer nursing their drinks as the table is cleared of the remains of the meal. Afterwards Kirara gives Genkai a tour of the plane, with small explanations of what is behind the doors and a few simple rules which mainly include: do not enter any room or touch anything that belongs to Sesshoumaru, though in a way everything belongs to him. After the tour Genkai is left in the entertainment room by herself while Kirara goes to discuss some more business with Jaken.

"Now if you need anything just push this call button here," Kirara says as she motions to a small blue button on the wall, "and someone will come into see you. Is there anything else you need before I go?" she asks as she turns to Genkai with her hands holding her coat, which she removed during the meal, and her briefcase.

"No thank-you I'm fine," Genkai tells her. Kirara gives her a smile and a bow before she goes on her way and leaves Genkai alone in the room. She takes this opportunity to look around the room.

The walls are a light tan-ish color like the rest of the plane that is meant to be soothing to those in the room. There are a few other paintings of lake views hanging on two of the walls. Genkai also spots a few more of the call button like the one that Kirara pointed out earlier. There are some chairs which have dark blue upholstery along the walls with some small tables between them. Against the left wall is an entertainment center that has a 42 inch flat screen plasma television, a DVD player and some gaming systems like an Xbox 360 and Play station 3. There are some DVDs, games and books even on the shelves.

Genkai moves closer so that she can see what is available but one thing in particular catches her eye. It is a book that appears to be a biography of one Gideon Tashio. Genkai knows that she has learned that Sesshoumaru is this Gideon Tashio person but she is curious and uncertain about the situation that she finds herself in. 'I think that it would be a wise idea to learn what I can before the meeting so that I'm not completely lost and to know what questions to ask. Besides it is not a wise thing to get into something that you don't know anything about. Plus some questions I have might get answered in the process,' Genkai thinks to herself as she grabs the book to read the full title.

'From Rags to Riches: A Business Cinderella Story. That sounds real original, and somewhat corny,' she thinks to herself with a small snort. But she keeps the book in her hands as she takes a seat in a chair that looks out one of the windows. Before she begins her reading she presses the call button on the wall that is close to the middle of the table before her. The wait is short as the woman from before comes into the room to see what is it that Genkai needs. Genkai requests some tea and the woman leaves just to return a few minutes later with a kettle of fresh brewed green tea. Yuki makes sure that she has met all of Genkais' needs before she leaves. Genkai makes sure that her cup is full before she opens the book and begins reading.

The story is of how as a child Gideon was left at an orphanage with only a note with his name on it left behind with him on the steps one stormy night. It goes on to how he was moved to orphanage to orphanage until he eventually found himself living on the streets. Then one day he came in contact with a Yoshiro Tashio when he (Gideon) was trying to con some of his (Yoshio's) business associates out of some money. It goes on to say that Yoshiro was so impressed by his tactics that he takes the then sixteen year old Gideon under his wing and soon adopted the boy as his own since Yoshiro had no other family.

The book also describes the business some more and how Yoshiro's ancestor started it shortly after World War II and how since then it has barely stayed afloat. It explains how Sesshoumaru started working at the company after he went to school and got his degree; totally changing it around until it he founded what is now known as Tashio Corporations by the time that he was thirty. The company itself continues to get stronger and expands more everyday for the past fifteen years or so. Of course there is mention of Gideon Being Japan's most eligible bachelor and being in the top ten of the worlds most eligible bachelors along with other business men and members of royalty.

When Genkai finishes reading the book she pulls out her pocket watch and notices that it is nearing one in the morning. She is not sure of what time it actually is since she is sure that they must have changed time zones already. No matter what time it is she is tired and it is going to be a while still yet before they land in Los Angeles. Genkai decides to try and get some sleep and gets comfortable in the chair she is sitting in when she hears a knock at the door. She turns to see Kirara come through the door.

"Genkai-sama, your still here?" she asks with some concern.

"Of course where else can I go, it's an air plane," Genkai responds to her in a tone that is both slightly sarcastic and wondering if she is stupid. 'I have definitely been hanging around Yusuke too much; I'm starting to sound like him.'

It doesn't seem to bother Kirara any for she just smiles and says to follow her. Genkai slowly stands from the chair she is sitting in and after a stretch walks after her. Kirara leads Genkai farther down the hall closer to the back of the plane, an area that she has yet to explore. Genkai notices that there are more doors that are closer together; it reminds Genkai of a motel/hotel in a way that they are set up. At the end of the short hall is another ornately carved door that is done the same way as Seshoumaru's office doors: two dog demons howling at a crescent moon, Kirara stops two doors from that door on the right and opens it. She then turns to Genkai and motions for her to enter the room which she does. The room itself is very much like a hotel/motel room, similar to what they stayed at during the Darkness Tournament but on a much smaller scale.

The walls are painted a pale yellow/gold color with a small chandelier lamp in the middle of the room. The bed is a standard size on the right side covered in red blankets with gold stitching and the head board is painted black. Across from the bed is a small dresser, also painted black and above that is a small 24 inch flat screen television. Along the far wall beneath the window but on the left is a small wash station. Next to it is a door that is a bathroom minus the shower/tub. On the right beneath another window is a small desk and chair.

"Is everything to your liking Genkai-sama?" a soft voice asks. Genkai turns from her position from the middle of the room at the foot of the bed to face Kirara standing just a foot or two inside the room.

"It is satisfactory," Genkai tells her in a nonchalant way. She did really think that there would be bedrooms on this plane, but then again it shouldn't come as a complete surprise. A man or demon of Sesshoumarus stature would no doubt see to his guests needs.

"Well similar to before next to the phone is a code card, just dial the code that corresponds to what you need," Kirara says to Genkai and she nods her head to show that she understands. "Have a nice night Genkai-sama." Kirara turns around and leaves Genkai alone in the room after she closes the door. With a sigh Genkai places her bag on the dresser, goes to wash her face at the wash station and climbs on top of the covers on the bed and soon she falls fast asleep.
