Dear Mr. Tashou
Chapter 2
(A/n: YAAAAY! Two chapters in one night)
Previously:
"Now normally, you do so with a phone call 'Feudal Miko' are you sure that's why you're here?" he grinned
"Yes. Hojo I still don't like you. I haven't since High School and I seriously don't right now." I grit my teeth.
Jerk!
He waved his hand and opened a planner "Fine, when?"
I thought for a moment "Thursday, 3 weeks from now at my usual time."
He wrote it down and looked up at me.
"Anything else?" he asked.
Now:
I shook my head and pulled on the green mask that was in my bag when I felt an all too familiar presence behind the door.
'Sesshomaru.' I thought to myself
Hojo looked annoyed "Come in."
Sure enough, Sesshomaru walked through the door. His stoic persona firmly in place, unless you looked deep enough into his eyes… he was startled.
Why?
"Mr. Taishou, what can I do for you?" Hojo spoke calmly.
Sesshomaru's eyes didn't leave me "Feudal Miko?"
I nodded smiling "Yes Sir."
He nodded and grunted quietly.
"Mr. Hojo, I have a business venture and a proposition for you." Sesshomaru snapped.
I forced myself to hold back a laugh. Of course, he would say it like that. Being 500 years later from the Fuedal Era he couldn't just say something like his old self. He'd have to basically ask for attention rather than demanding that Hojo do as he'd say.
"Well then, I'll leave you, gentlemen, to discuss business. Oh, and Hojo?" I quipped.
"Yes Fuedal Miko?" he sighed.
"I want my earnings sent to me ASAP. A woman has to pay her bills, you know." I smirked.
But as I made my way towards the door, Sesshomaru blocked my way. Confusion flooded through me.
"Mr. Taishou?" I asked.
"Stay, I need a witness to sign." He spoke.
"Um… But I have to catch the bus." I whispered.
"I'll drive you home, Higa-" Hojo started.
"Hojo! Confidence! Privacy!" I snapped at him interrupting him quickly.
"If it suits you Miss 'Miko' I can have my driver take you home," Sesshomaru spoke softly to where only I could hear him.
I don't know why but I relented.
"Very well, Mr. Taishou; I will bear witness." I agreed.
He nodded and looked back at Hojo.
"To business then." He spoke up.
Hojo gulped and I smiled to myself with the knowledge Hojo would agree to whatever Sesshomaru had in store for him. Hojo wouldn't have a choice. I was glad to be a fly on this wall. I would've probably have missed my bus wondering around lost in thought anyway. I would forever be grateful to the unknowing demon that sat in front of Hojo. I smiled to myself.
"Um… Miss 'Miko' please sit down." Hojo demanded.
For some reason, Sesshomaru's aura spiked at Hojo telling me what to do.
Huh, that's odd. But then knowing Sesshomaru he doesn't like to not be the one giving orders.
(Sesshomaru's Point of View)
-In front of Hojo's Office Door-
She was in there. I was really doing this. Why the devil am I so nervous?! I am Sesshomaru Taishou! The Killing Perfection; the TaiYouki of the Western Lands! So why did the mere thought of a woman make me so nervous?!
"Yes. Hojo I still don't like you. I haven't since High School and I seriously don't right now." My ears caught her answer.
The owner knows her personally? Interesting.
"Fine. When?" he asked, clearly annoyed.
It was silent for a moment.
Then she responded "Thursday 3 weeks from now at my usual time."
I made a mental note to clear that day from my company schedule.
I fought down a growl at his tone to her with his next statement "Anything else?"
I pulsed my aura at his door and felt hers try to rise up in response but instead of discomfort from the purity of her aura; serenity coated me. Such an odd woman.
The human male spoke gruffly "Come in"
