The stoic demon tuned out the monotone voice of the other company's employee, who was nervously presenting his slideshow to a room of businessmen. Sesshomaru inwardly scoffed, this was a complete waste of his time. He could be doing something productive, but no. Besides, he was not one to make partnerships with other companies. Sesshomaru did not so easily give out his trust, or his time for that matter.

Breathing a sigh of relief as the meeting adjourned, Sesshomaru made his way to his office. He wondered how Rin was faring at work, so he decided to call and check up on her. The issue with Naraku had not been resolved yet, and even if it had been, Sesshomaru was always paranoid when it came to Rin. Finding his cell phone, he dialed her work number.

"This is Rin Taisho for Shogun Labs. I am currently out of my office-" The answering machine was the only response.

Wait… out of office? Rin never mentioned taking the day off. He tried her cell.

"The number you are trying to reach is out of service. Please hang up or try your call again." The automatic recording angered him more.

Sesshomaru rushed out of his office, glaring at his secretary in a way that said 'don't ask', effectively scaring her into silence. Driving home, he called Kagome.

"Did Rin show up today?"

"No, I ha-" Sesshomaru hung up, weaving wildly through traffic.

As soon as he got into the garage, Sesshomaru noticed Rin's car was still there. It didn't make any sense…

Where is she?

While searching the house, Sesshomaru's demon was starting to take over. Rin's scent was already hours old…

A furious Sesshomaru attempted to calm down. Rin was gone. He wanted her back.

The phone rang in his ear.

"SISN."
