Plan B

"Mr. Taisho, your son is here to speak with you." A woman's voice spoke through the phone.

"Ah yes, let him in." Kenta spoke calmly and returned the receiver to its cradle on his desk. The man strode through the double doors silently, not bothering to spare a glance at the board members around the room as he passed them. Spinning in his chair Kenta turned his eyes upon his sons form. "Sesshoumaru my boy about time you- what are you doing here?"

"Sesshoumaru sends his condolences but he couldn't be here today." Inuyasha couldn't resist giving his father a smirk Sesshoumaru would have been proud of, "What's the matter? Don't recognize your own son anymore?" He was dressed in a suit rather than his usual dark jumpsuit. His dark hair was undone and cascaded down his back freely in all directions. The tan material of the suit contrasted well with his dark amber eyes.

"Boy," His father warned. "This is hardly the time or place. Can you not see I am busy? Get out and come back later."

Inuyasha slammed his fist down on the table and several members gasped. "I will not be thrown out like some dog. We need to talk. And we will speak right now." So much for being calm and collected, sorry Sesshoumaru. "I'm not taking no for an answer." Crossing his arms he stood his ground.

Kenta did his best to ignore his delinquent son but the other board members were not as successful. Seeing that they would get nothing else accomplished he dismissed them. One staggered behind to talk with him for a few extra minutes. Inuyasha tapped his foot impatiently.

"Excuse me Naraku. We will have to reschedule. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Naraku brushed it off carelessly, "Not at all, another time then. Good day to you Inuyasha."

"Who are you?" Inuyasha demanded and the man laughed with mirth as he disappeared from sight.

"Foolish child your ignorance knows no bounds. What are you doing here? I will not ask you again." Kenta determined.

Inuyasha took the seat opposite his father and the two glared at each other from across the room. Here goes nothing.

Sesshoumaru leaned back against the leather seat as he waited for Rin to be released from school. Several other cars were also present in the lot but he paid them no mind. When Kagome's small blue car came into view he was surprised that she'd pulled in next to his. He watched her exit her car and storm over to his window. She knocked twice on the dark glass and he could tell she was upset when he finally rolled down the window.

"Kagome, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He teased.

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm still upset with you." Naturally you are.

Sango had told Kagome what really happened that night they had run into each other in the club. She had called him the following day and the two argued. Apparently the woman didn't take him insulting her friend to kindly and she intended to be sure it didn't happen again. When he neither agreed nor disagreed that it would or wouldn't happen again she hung up on him and was ignoring all calls from him since.

Up until that point he believed things were going well between the two of them, but ever since Sango had interfered he wasn't sure how to rectify the situation. "I will not apologize for something that has happened in the past. Of that you can be sure."

Kagome rolled her eyes dejectedly and leaned against the door frame. "You're a real piece of work you know that. I'll figure you out one of these days."

I certainly hope not. "I seriously doubt that, although you may try." He smirked. She huffed.

"I see Shippou and Rin heading our way. Guess I better get back to my car." Before she turned to leave she stuck her hand out in front of him, "Still friends right?" Why does she sound so hopeful? As if I would be dense enough to disagree.

He shook her hand and smirked again, "Of course Kagome."

"Good. I'll see you around Sesshoumaru." He followed her retreating form until both she and Shippou disappeared inside her car and drove off. Rin had already situated herself in the front seat and was telling him of her day when his phone rang.

"Sesshoumaru-sama don't you know it's dangerous to talk on your phone while you're driving. That's what the teachers always tell us." She chimed in sweetly before he had the chance to answer the call.

"Yes Rin, you are correct. But sometimes there are emergencies in which a person should answer their phone." The phone stopped ringing and he stared down at the screen. Whoever had called left him a voicemail, he would listen when he got home. "Then again, it can't hurt to leave it until we arrive home."

Rin grinned at him and he listened with continued interest while she talked about her day. When they pulled into the driveway she ran through the halls giggling before she settled into the kitchen table and began her homework. Sesshoumaru let her be and climbed the stairs to his room at the end of the hall.

Pulling out his phone he clicked the button to listen to the voicemail.

"Sesshoumaru it's me," Inuyasha's voice began, "I found out what dad wants...but you're not gonna like it…." Sesshoumaru cursed as he listened to the rest of the message. I'm going to kill them both.
