"Bruce-san! I'm so glad you and your children could make it!"

"Shippo-san, we're glad to be here!"

The two business men shook hands and embraced each other like old pals. Bruce turned around and gestured toward his four sons who were taking off their shoes and entering the room.

"Richard."

The eldest bowed. "Thank you for having us, Nishimura-san." He flashed a charming smile.

The older male chuckled. "Anytime and you can call be by my first name. 'Nishimura-san' makes me feel old." Shippo liked Richard. In terms of personality, the eldest was most like him. It was also nice how he looked a lot like Kagome with radiant auras.

"Jason."

The teenager was wary, but bowed to him nonetheless; Shippo could feel it in his aura. 'Ah, so he knows who I am. Smart one.' The two shook hands.

"Nice to meet ya, Jason."

"Nice to meet you too, sir."

The kitsune cackled in his mind. He was so going to enjoy this.

"Tim."

The younger teen bowed. "Nice to meet you, sir."

"It's my pleasure. The work you do with your father at your age is impressive," the kitsune said in earnest. "You've got a real knack for business." He chuckled.

The boy blushed at the ears. "Thank you."

"And my youngest: Damian."

The boy bowed very seriously and said, "Hello, sir." His face was all sullen and serious. His chest was out and his shoulders were back. He was standing very tall, perhaps an attempt to blend in with his brothers. He looked like a mini Sesshomaru and Shippo wanted to die in laughter right there.

"Ahh, the art prodigy of the family."

Emerald eyes became as wide as saucers and red began to tint the boy's cheeks. "Wha-" He turned to his father, looking betrayed. "Father, what is the meaning-"

"I've seen some of your drawing in your father's office. He has them framed."

Damian looked at the man in awe.

"You make nice art, little man." He ruffled the boy's hair.

"T-thank you, sir." He said bashfully.

Damian's older siblings chuckled at his unusual behavior.

"Wow, so he gets embarrassed, after all." Tim teased, nudging him. He only got a glare in return.

Shippo turned to Bruce. "I was aware you had a daughter. Was she not able to make it?"

"You'll have to excuse her for a bit. She went to the restroom." The billionaire glanced around the room. "Were Taisho-san and Yamauchi-san not able to make it?"

"Sesshomaru, you'll have to excuse him. He went to the kitchen to check up on the staff." The artist tugged at the collar of his shirt. "As for the latter, he had an emergency with his wife, so I'm afraid he won't be joining us tonight." He turned to the four brothers who were muttering amongst themselves. "Sorry to break up the fun, but why don't you guys sit down? I'm sure it's more comfortable than standing."
