A rainy day.
Perfect… a young woman no older than 20 thought as she rushed through the streets with a tattered umbrella. That is, if you could even recognize the scabby yellow plastic on a stick for an umbrella. Her faded jeans brushing the grounds ever so often as she half jogged down the street. She wore a black hoodie that concealed her figure as well as her facial features.
When she gradually slowed down her pace and finally stopped, she was right in front of the famous local pub in the district. A pair of hands emerged from under the baggy sleeves and pushed upon the door. Loud music and distinct whistles of drunkards were heard as the woman stepped inside the pub. Instead of taking a seat to watch the dancing performance or ordering a drink, she slipped in a door on the far side of the pub.
On the door, a clear sign was hanged: PERFORMERS AND STAFF ONLY.
The woman closed the door behind her and was greeted by crowds of actors and performers gossiping and applying make-up. She continued walking until she reached a lounge where few performers rehearsing their moves.
"Finally here! I thought I'd never see you on time for my shows!" A feminine voice was heard as a hand tapped on the woman's shoulder. She turned her head to see the speaker.
"There's no point being punctual when you're pole dancing to horny men." The hooded woman said in a firm voice as she and the other speaker sat down side by side in front of the make-up stands.
The other woman was well-built; high cheekbones and determined eyes, definitely attractive. Her hazel brown hair flowed down her back with slight curls at the bottom. She was wearing a black g-string and a silver transparent mini skirt along with a small blood-red lace bikini like clothing that held the C-cup breast. It was evident from her clothing that she was performing soon.
"Tsk tsk tsk, our best performer here dissing her own job! I wonder what Denko would say about that…" The other woman said as she stood up and stretched a little.
"I'm not dancing today, so I'm going to help out at the bar. Good luck with those horny men Sango." With that, the hooded woman also stood up and walked towards the exit. Sango's
eyebrows twitched but she didn't say anything else and watched the woman walk out and close the door softly behind her.
Stubborn woman, I wonder when her attitude will change. Sango thought with a slight sigh as she turned around and yelled.
"Okay girls, let's get ready for some action!" She said with a small yell. Murmurs of 'yeah' and whistling were heard as 4 girls along with Sango made some last minute touch up and went on back-stage.
A man around his early thirties was standing along with a few men adjusting the lighting props. When he turned around and saw the ladies, a tilted grin was found on his face. His dark brown eyes were attractive and a small scar on his left cheek was enough to warn off some. He was wearing a simple black and white suit and was 'welcoming' his actors as he opened his arms as if waiting for a hug.
"Ladies! All dressed up, I'm so proud! Now, let's see the positions, Ayame on the far left." He commanded and a woman with dark brown hair and green eyes walked to the left pole rolling her eyes and examining her blood red nails.
"Now, Yuko on the left side too beside Ayame," A petite girl with a good figure walked as fast as possible to the pole and threw her head back as she reached the pole. She winked seductively at her fellow crew and the man. He smirked and winked back.
The rest of the girls sighed with annoyance.
"Okay, now my dear old Sango-chan, let's put you in the middle." Sango immediately stepped up and raised the man's chin up close to her face.
"Listen here buster, don't you dare to call me your dear old 'Sango-chan'." She said with dripping venom.
The man laughed and pushed her away. Sango marched up to the pole and refused to turn back. Afterwards, the man resumed the assigning the positions and telling the ladies to practice.
"Hey Sango, what's with the violence?" Ayame said as she called out to Sango. Bitch. You hate him as much as I do.
"You know I hate Denko. He's so egoistic it kills me." She said with annoyance and exasperation. Ayame giggled a little bit and Sango sighed.
It's going to be a heck of a long night…. Sango thought.
In the bar…
The hooded woman once more emerged from the shadow. There was a waitress and a waiter there beside her in the bar getting ready the drinks. The bowed their heads slightly as she stepped out and she also gave an acknowledgement nod to them.
"Hey Kikyo," the hooded woman said as rolled up her sleeves revealing her slightly tanned arms. She took a mug from the bar table and started filling it with some beer.
The woman named Kikyo smiled. She was wearing a simple waitress uniform, that is, if you can call it a uniform. It consisted of a short black mini skirt and a black tube top.
"Hey girl, I haven't seen you working in the bar since forever! You've always been performing!" Kikyo said with a grin as she resumed to filling the jugs. The waiter beside her also grinned cheekily,
"So how are you? Do you miss our nights together?" He said in a no doubt smirking way. The hooded woman tilted her head a little bit exposing her lower face to the others. She held a slight grin,
"Why do you make everything sound so seductive? But yes, I haven't seen you guys in a long time. How's the bar doing Kouga?" She said as she patted one of the counters.
"Pretty damn good with only a few hot chicks serving. But of course, when you're here we make hell a lot more money." Kouga said as he gave a sly wink and smiled.
"Stop flirting with me because I don't give you tips," Sango laughed as Kouga pretended to be hurt at the comment.
"Speaking of which, are there any important people coming tonight? Last time some of them were here, they were all rich and egoistic men just trying to get a good fuck for their eyes." Kikyo said in soft voice. Kouga tensed for Kikyo never swears. Sure she might pick up a few habits elsewhere but… I wouldn't blame her, there are too many rich alcoholics that think they can buy fuck with money… Kouga thought in partial pity.
The hooded woman thought about the question directed to her for a moment and answered,
"As a matter of fact, I believe we do. I think there are going to be a few VIP guests and they'll be seated in a private chamber for the best view of the performance." She said thoughtfully.
"Who's going to be hosting these men?" Kikyo said casually, suddenly she tensed. Oh god… NO!
Kikyo gulped.
"Tell me it won't be me and you!" Kikyo said with a slap to her head. Kouga smirked and started laughing.
"Man Kiks, I wish you a happy death!" Kikyo glared at Kouga and folded her hands by her chest.
"But why is it always us! It's so nerve racking! We should get a male host to do it. Heck, let's make Kouga do it. Maybe one or two of them are gay." For a moment Kouga choked and glared at Kikyo,
"I doubt they appreciate being called gay," he spat back at her.
"Well, later guys, duty calls. I'll probably be back to check on you guys, don't forget to tell the new interns we have guests today." With a quick wave, the hooded woman silently placed the mug of beer on the counter and wiped her hands with a cloth.
Then she turned and said cheekily, "Oh and Kouga?" Kouga grinned expecting something,
"Go fuck yourself."
The woman made her way into a isolated room and closed the door behind her. The whole room lied in shadows. The only light source came from a dim lamp place across the room. It lit the room just enough to see a desk, a computer and a big chair with someone sitting in it not facing the door.
Suddenly, the chair swirled a little bit so only the person's body was shown. It was evident that it was a man. His deep voice filled the room as he talked.
"How are you…… Higurashi-san?" His deep voice promised great power.
The hooded woman bowed her head lightly in respect.
"Fine, Akira-sama."
"In that case Higurashi-san, what is it that you wish to speak to me about?"
Silence was heard as the room's temperature seemed to drop. Seeing that she was not about to answer, he continued.
"Since there seems to be no reason for your presence, I would like to inform you of some things about my clients this evening Higurashi-san." He paused and looked at the hooded woman.
"As you know, our pub 'Black Haven' has been in business for over 10 years and is Tokyo's most successful pub. One of my friends that donated a large sum of money for this success is Inu Taisho. Not only was he my partner years ago, he was also a pillar of support. He will be visiting tonight to see the show along with his sons and a few friends." The shadowed men paused and turned his chair so his whole body was facing her.
On the chair sat a man in his mid-forties. He was wearing a suit and his dark brown hair had hints of white in them. His eyes were brown and he held no emotion on his face. On the overall, he wasn't particularly bad looking but his eyes and facial expression was somewhat unnatural.
"And what is it that you wish for me to do Akira-sama?" the woman said as she interrupted him.
"Patience Higurashi-san. I wish for you and Takeshi-san to welcome these guests tonight, as they will be seated in the VIP lounge. I expect tonight's performance at its best for we wish to impress InuTaisho do we not? I will be making a call to Denko-san." He said and he turned his chair so that he was once again not facing her.
"Is there anything else you would like to inform me of Higurashi-san?" The hooded woman nodded her head slightly in response.
"There is actually Akira-sama. Tonight before the show, I have some business to take care of therefore I might arrive late to greet the guests." She paused and stared at Akira-sama. He nodded his head for her to resume.
"That is why I'm afraid Takeshi-san will need to take care of the guests first before I arrive." She concluded.
The man on the chair thought for a while in silence but in the end agreed to the conditions.
"That is all." He said in a firm and deep voice that immediately confirmed the message of 'get out now'.
The woman bowed once more and walked out. A small slam of the door with footsteps was heard as it echoed back.
The man on the chair took a small look at the now closed door and turned to face it. The gloomy dimmed light shadowed his upper face and an expressionless emotion was placed on his face.
"…Let it begin." He murmured softly as he opened one of the curtains and stared outside the window. The sun was setting after the heavy rain and the scenery was beautiful. The luminous light shone on his face and he closed his eyes.
Outside the door the hooded woman made her way to the exit of the pub. As she walked she took out her cell phone and dialed a few numbers. A few rings were heard as her phone connected to the one she dialed. Soon a young man's voice was heard,
"Hello, this is the Higurashi Resident, how may I help you?"
"I wish to talk to Mina Higurashi.
"Please wait a moment," the man replied quickly after hearing who it was. It's master's daughter!
On the other side of the phone, the woman tapped her feet softly against the floor waiting for Mina Higurashi to be connected.
Suddenly a voice was heard and the phone connected through,
"Hello, this is Mina Higurashi speaking," The woman on the other end of the phone said in a business way,
"Hey… Mom." The hooded woman said as she waited for a response.
"Kagome! Hello dear, how are you? I haven't heard from you in a while, I suppose you're busy with some things?" her mother's voice was heard as she questioned.
"I'm fine… Mom. I just need a few answers to some questions, could you answer them for me?" She said slowly.
Mina Higurashi had a slight frown on her face; She hesitates when she calls me mom… Although Mina Higurashi gave birth to both her and her brother, Kagome always seemed to be the distant and dark one. But, she still loved her daughter and it was great to hear from her once in a while.
"Of course! Now, what is it that you want to be answered?" she said cheerily.
A pause was heard as the woman tried to summarize her questions,
"You are aware of Inu Taisho right? I believe that he and you have done some major business deals together seeing that you two are currently at the top for Tokyo Business." She said and waited,
"Yes we have, continue," her mom replied back.
"Actually, my question concerns his sons." The woman ended as if knowing that her mother will know what to say,
Her mother did indeed know, her daughter was implying for her to elaborate,
"Of course, Inu Taisho and I made many business deals and I believe our most recent one is still going. But of course, he has two sons I have heard and confirmed. I know we are both aware that Inu Taisho comes from the family line of most powerful youkai's. His younger son, Inuyasha is a half-demon because of his recent second wife, Izaoyi, which is a human. In contrast, his older son, Sesshoumaru is a Taiyoukai. An admirable one I heard. Both of them are extremely famous for their accomplishments." She stopped to see Kagome's reactions,
"Actually, I'd also like to hear about the two brother's accomplishments if that's possible," She said firmly.
"Well, I heard that both of them are bachelors. The younger brother seems to be more in the celebrity world, he's a model I believe and has posed and entered in many multiple winning fashion shows. I heard from some of my employees that he's got quite an attitude.
Oh and the older son, Sesshoumaru. Surely you've heard of Sesshoumaru Taisho the prominent businessman? Well I've heard that right now he's directing some of Inu Taisho's major branch in their company. Unless I'm mistaken, he is to inherit Inu Taisho's business. Mysterious men I heard. Sesshoumaru I do not know too much about. He's an extremely high leveled young man and his accomplishments are quite significant don't you think?" Mina Higurashi finished with a rhetorical question.
The still hooded woman tilted her head and looked up at the darkening sky.
"Sesshoumaru Taisho… how interesting…"
"Dear, do you know him?" Her mother said soothingly,
"Yes, I've heard a great deal about him. It's not a big deal; I'm going to be greeting Inu Taisho and some of his friends along with his sons tonight. Just getting some background information before the reception; I'll call soon." With that, the phone's endless 'beeps' were heard. Mina Higurashi sighed and hanged up as well.
"Someone go get me a cup of coffee," she said as she ordered one of her maids. The maid nodded and scurried out the door.
I swear… My daughter is the most baffling creature in the world… Mina Higurashi thought as she closed her eyes and gently massaged it.
The woman turned off her cell phone immediately after the call and made her way to a car. Her car. A true beauty to all car dealers.
It was a Saleen S7 manufactured from California. The car was a brilliant shade of red accompanied with the best systems. …And of course I love my baby she thought as she opened the front-seat's door and got in. The seats were black and she kept it in a good condition.
With the start of the engine, she was off speeding through the roads. Trees and buildings whisked by as she drove on the empty high way. Not even near 10 minutes, her destination came within sight so she slowed down her speed and parked right beside the tall building. As she got out, she took the car keys with her and gave a light pat to her car. She locked her Saleen and put the dangling keys into her pockets.
But instead of walking up the stairs and into the tall business building as she planned, she walked in the opposite direction and headed into a small and narrow alley where distant noises of beatings and cries were heard as they rattled through the alley.. Her hands were slightly clenched as she made her way in swift steps to the source of the sounds.
As she came into view of the people making the noise, a young boy no older than the age of 14 was seen as he was kicked and beaten up by 3 guys. 2 of them were also young men that were slightly older than 16 while the other one appeared to be a slightly drunken middle-age man. He was pudgy and was laughing insanely at the sight and occasionally throwing kicks at the boy too.
When she was standing directly behind the 3 people, her head was tilted low and her hands were hidden in her hoodie.
"Stop." She said in authoritative voice.
The three men turned to look at her and the two younger ones snorted.
"Well, well, young lady, what are you going to do to us if we don't?" Said one with brown hair as he snickered.
"Stop beating the poor kid." She said again this time louder. The orange hair guy beside the brown hair guy raised his eye brow and smirked,
"And how much are you paying us to stop?"
"Nothing." She said firmly
"Bitch!" He said as he lounged for her. She stood there without moving but suddenly out of nowhere, a voice was heard,
"Don't hit her," the once-drunk man said. The pudgy man seemed to be sober enough now.
"And why is that?" the orange head snarled back.
"We can't afford her death or if she sues us, let's go." He said and he trudged his way out of the alley. The 2 men glared at her and gave her a last warning of not messing with them before they ran behind the man.
Immediately, the woman hurried to the boy lying on the ground.
"Can you stand up?" She asked demandingly. The boy didn't respond as he struggled to get up with his bleeding wounds.
"Fancy seeing you here…" He spat out with venom.
"I haven't seen you in such a fucking long time and you finally decide to show up when I'm all beaten up and try to play the hero." He said with a grunt as he finally managed to get up by supporting his body weight on the wall beside them.
"Watch your language brat." She warned as she took out a handkerchief and gave it to him. He snatched it out of her hands and wiped his bleeding mouth with it. He grunted a soft 'thanks' and took a few steps.
"You're not going anywhere until we get you fixed and you better follow me." She said as she tugged on his arm without pitying the wounds there. He winced but decided to follow her. She led him to her Saleen and plopped him on the front seat as she sat in the driver's seat.
"How come you got into a fight," she said without emotions this time as she started the engine once more and drove to a nearby clinic.
"They were the ones ganging up on me, not me!" he sulked and folded his arms as he rolled his eyes at the woman.
"Plus, why should you care? You abandoned us for such a long time, just go rot in hell in your rich world and don't even try giving us pity!" with that he refused to speak any more. The woman didn't say anything and she continued to drive on.
15 minutes later, they had arrived and she sent him in the clinic. A nurse led him into a room and asked if she wanted to accompany him. She refused and headed to the front desk.
"Hello, welcome to Tokyo Clinic, how may I help you?" a kind looking nurse said as she spoke to the woman.
"I will pay for the man that just walked in and make sure that he stays until he's fully medicated." She spoke monotonously. The nurse nodded once and gave her the receipt; the woman paid the amount of money and left the clinic quickly. Her car was seen as it sped by, yet the woman's hood was still on and shadowed her facial features even after such a long time. What a strange woman… The nurse thought as she shook her head slightly and made a call.
