Chapter 9

Sesshomaru grumbled all the way to bed he didn't want to be with the female if she was human. Perhaps he'd have to make a trip to the whore house to take care of his need so his beast would quit thinking about that human looking female.

~ Friday Morning ~

Naomi got up got dressed grabbed something to eat before collecting her files. She headed to the shrine picked up Kagome and went directly to the courthouse. She settled into the table that was hers to use during the trial. Within moments she saw opposing council enter and set up his table the lawyer looked exhausted. She'd call him first only to set up information about her files. The judge came in and after a few moments he turned to Naomi saying, "Call your first witness."

Naomi replied, "I call Hiroya Akai to the stand." Sesshomaru shouted out, "I object there is no reason for this witness." The judge looked at Naomi she said, "Foundation your honor I promise I will make it short. The judge replied, "Overruled."

She waited for him to be sworn in once he was ready she approached him asking, "For the record would you tell me how you got all of my client files?" Hiroya replied, "I received a call from Sesshomaru requesting assistance due to a break in at your office."

Naomi asked, "Did you ask your client how he knew about the break-in or why I would give my client files to a man I was taking to court?" Hiroya replied, "No, I didn't." Naomi now asked, "Did you call me and ask me if I had asked for your help before contacting any of my clients?" Hiroya replied, "No, I didn't."

Naomi smirked saying, "No further questions for this witness." Sesshomaru stood up saying, "No questions for this witness." He groaned he had not expected her to bring that up he could feel his sire boring holes in his head with his angry stare.

Naomi said, "I now call Sesshomaru Tashio to the stand." She waited while he was sworn in and once he was ready she approached him asking, "How did you know about a break-in at my office?" Sesshomaru replied, "I overheard it and told them they should send your files to my lawyer. I figured you wouldn't be able to represent your clients with the damage from the burglary."

Naomi asked, "Did you know that if your case file had been there as well your lawyer would have faced ethics charges because of your actions?" Sesshomaru replied, "No, I didn't."

Naomi asked, "Did you know that I never filed a report of a break-in with the police. Since the police didn't know who did you overhear talking about it better yet who had my files?" Sesshomaru replied, "I don't know I had never seen them before." He knew he outright lied but he had no choice who the heck didn't file a report when broken into.

She asked, "Did you know all this could have been avoided if you had bothered to look up from your computer screen and listened to me when I was in your office trying to resolve this without the court's involvement?" Sesshomaru growled as he smelled nothing but the truth coming from her yet he didn't remember her. He responded, "I was very busy I thought that matter was unimportant."

Naomi turned saying, "No further questions." Sesshomaru stepped down now being glared at by both his sire and his lawyer for his involvement in this. His sire was beyond pissed he knew his son had outright lied on the stand and knew exactly who took the woman's client files. Naomi now said, I call Toga Toshio to the stand."

She waited for him to be sworn in and then approached with an employee manual in hand. She asked, "Do you know what this is?' Toga replied, "Yes it's what we give our employees upon hire."

She opened it to the section on termination saying, "This says to be fired an employee must receive both a verbal warning and a written notice from their manager before being sent to see the human resources manager in charge of firing for a final warning and then they are terminated. The only exceptions to the rules are listed in this correct?"

Toga not knowing where she was headed responded, "It is correct." He watched her give the book to the judge submitting it into evidence. He watched her reach the table and grabs a paper returning to him with it. She placed the paper in front of him saying, "On here is a list compiled by your employee please state the number of people fired this year."

Toga looked down and was shocked but responded, "6,000" Naomi now asked, "Out of those 6,000 how many received either a verbal or written notice before they were fired?" Toga looked down again searching for the information and gulped before responding, "None" Naomi then asked, "Out of these 6,000 how many were engaged in something that would allow you to fire them immediately?"

He looked back down one last time reading the list of reasons for termination and found an answer finally responding, "500." Naomi now looked at him smile gracing her face saying, "So 5,500 were fired unjustly by your son InuYasha."

At this point, InuYasha stood up yelling, "The lazy sacks of shit got what they deserved. So what they got no warning we ain't got to give them any warning. It's our company we can do as we please." The judge banged his gavel saying, "Order in the courtroom or I will have you removed."

He watched Naomi now take the paper and turn it in as evidence before going to the table and grabbing a tape recorder and returning. She said, "Please tell me if this is how you taught your son how to fire employees."

She turned on the tape player the audio came out InuYasha's voice said, "Listen wench we are tired of your lazy ass attitude. You're always coming in late probably from whoring yourself out or you're leaving early thinking we wouldn't notice. I have complaints a mile long of you making passes at the men and wearing sexual clothing. I'd ask you to service me to keep your job but your butt ugly. Now leave without complaint or never work in Japan again you know were powerful enough to do that."
