7 years later.
Sesshomaru was currently sitting in his office. He'd never spoken to Rin again. He continued to pursue his dreams- to become the most powerful business man and take over his father's company and in the Yokai world- be the most fearsome.
He'd accomplished most of his goals. The Magazines had regarded him as the number 1 demon bachelor. Known to play around with women and crack the toughest deals. He was cold and heartless. Just like the way he was before he met her. Well right now he was in the middle of a lecture from his father.
"Sesshomaru, you cannot continue this non sense! You cannot continue to fire every single employee I get you! That's just so wrong! Anyway I have a few interns coming today and you're in charge of training them. DO NOT FIRE THEM!" He growled at his son. Sesshomaru massaged his temple as soon as his father left. He thought about her every day. How she'd be now. He hadn't seen her since High school ended. His half-brother had "Accidentally" knocked Kagome chick and thus got married to her. He inwardly sighed. Of all the stupidities to commit. His telephone began to ring. "Sesshomaru- sir, the interns are here." He heard. "Send them up." he said.
Rin walked up the grand building. She couldn't believe she'd get to work with Inu no Taisho. The man was a legend in business history. After high school Rin moved to the suburbs and pursued her degree in Business affairs. She graduated with flying colors and was one of the lucky few who got the internship at Taisho & Sons LTD. While waiting in the elevator, Rin thought about how things were left unsaid, about him and how he must be. She could never forget the last time she saw him at their graduation. How he had his arms linked to Kagura and how they'd been the most popular couple of the school. Rin on the other hand never had a boyfriend. She focused on her career, her life.
The elevator Ding'd as she got off. A Shaky looking woman opened the cabin door and asked them to wait outside. "Okay, you may go in." She said as she came out. Rin walked in with 3 other people. Her eyes met with golden orbs. She was sure he wouldn't recognize her, after all it had been 7 years. She couldn't believe he was here. She had read about him in magazines and he was constantly occupying the headlines on the news channels, BUT WHAT WAS HE DOING HERE?! Didn't he own his own company or something? She looked down and hid behind someone else.
"My name is Sesshomaru Takahashi, I will be your supervisor." he said sternly. He wasn't even looking at them. "Now, you all have already met with Aiko, she will assign you with tasks. I expect everyone to be here at 7:55 sharp. No Exceptions. You will also see to it that you don't disappoint me. Now leave." He said. As they began clearing out, a familiar scent hit his nose. His eyes grew for a moment. 'It can't possibly be! My mind is tricking me now.' He thought.
Rin sighed as they walked out. Aiko assigned each of them a file. "Now, if you will follow me." Aiko said. "Rin Tsukimori, Ren Kitamura, Ai Satome and Takuma Ichininose, these are your work stations, pick any you like. And try to stay away from boss as much as possible." Aiko warned. Rin sighed as she took her seat. She turned on the computer and began to work.
It was almost the end of workday. Rin was as always, the last to leave. She picked her stuff up and began to walk towards the elevator. She waited for it come quickly, she prayed she wouldn't meet Sesshomaru but alas! When had God actually listened to her? Sesshomaru was done for the day and headed towards the elevator. It was that annoying scent again. Today was the worst of all. He reached the elevators as he saw a figure. Tall, slender, long jet black hair, just like he'd imagined Rin would have. He waited next to her. Damn his nose was a pain.
He turned to look at her. Her bangs covering her face. Just like Rin used to in high school. He inwardly groaned. He couldn't have thoughts of Rin all day every day. He observed her closely. Now that you think about it, she did look a lot like Rin. "You." He said. She turned to face him. Brown met golden and his world began to crumble. "Rin..." He muttered. He'd recognize those eyes anywhere. She didn't bother replying and ran into the elevator and hurriedly kept pressing the close button. He tried to stop her but he was late. He dropped his work bag and leapt out the balcony. Flying down he caught her calling a cab. He walked behind her. "Rin." he commanded. She looked at him. He stared at her as the life from her face disappeared. She fainted. He caught her before she hit the ground.
Rin woke up on something soft. She groaned. She looked around. Brown blankets, Grey, black and white room, it wasn't her dingy looking apartment. She slowly slipped out the bed. She somehow had a bad feeling. Last thing she remembers was seeing Sesshomaru in his demon form. His facial markings and a fluffy thing growing out his shoulders. She shuddered. She walked in the living room to find him sitting at the coffee table placed near the open window. He looked her way and she froze. "Sesshomaru..." She whispered. In an instant she was pinned on the wall behind her. "Why?" He growled. "Why what?" She asked. "Why did you come back NOW?!" He asked. She didn't meet his gaze. She looked away. "Rin." he said before his lips crashed onto hers. They moaned at the contact. She melted in his arms as hers wrapped around his head pushing him closer.
She'd imagined kissing him, running her hands through his hair, being with him like this. She imagined confessing to him years ago...but then she couldn't. Not after he began dating Kagura. She'd heard he found out his girlfriend was cheating. Photos of her shamelessly giving Naraku Onigomu a lap dance at a night club were flashed around for weeks before the news of them getting married. Sesshomaru was on the other hand felt relieved. All he had was a nagging girlfriend who lived on his money.
Rin's knees gave out as she fell. She looked at him. Sesshomaru picked her up again and her legs wrapped around him. "Rin." He growled. "Sesshomaru." She let out between her moans. Her top had disappeared, her bra was just barely hanging. Somehow she couldn't even recall when they'd landed on his bed. Here he was shirtless massaging her breasts and kissing her. He stopped just to stare at her. To make sure this was real. That this was really happening. 'Mark her now.' His beast growled but some rational part of his brain refrained. He couldn't do it. He pulled back. Rin just gave him a blank daze. She couldn't even think. She groaned when his hands pulled back. He got out of the bed and threw the blanket over her head. "Sesshomaru?" He heard her call.
"Sleep. Work at 7:55. No exceptions." he said softly. He was in the living room contemplating hitting his head on the wall. 'There ya go you stupid creature! You should've marked her!' His beast growled. 'Yeah and then what? You don't even know if she's engaged yet! Or worse already has a family with that boy from school!' Sesshomaru retorted to his beast. 'But she is your mate.' He growled. It was around 4 am, Rin crept out the room, and she couldn't find Sesshomaru anywhere. She quietly walked towards the door. "Where do you think you're going?" His voice was stern. "Home..." She replied meekly. Sesshomaru stared at her before pulling her back. "You're not to leave." he said. His head came to rest on the crook of her neck. He nuzzled in. "Sesshomaru?" She called. "Just a little more." He called out. Rin could see he was exhausted. Well that was to be expected. You don't just create an empire that rivals your father's just after high school. Rin's hand came to pet his head. If only Rin could feel he was purring. "Let's go to the room and get some rest, okay?" She said. Sesshomaru complied and followed her back. She lay down and patted the space next to her. Sesshomaru stared at her before joining her. She lay there with him holding her close.
