" Who the hell could figure me out! Last thing I need is to die exactly the way my parents did."

He muttered to himself, calling a plain cab and threw on his bulky black jacket and headed out near the front door of the corporation, seeing it raining furiously until you could barely see anything at all. His face was pale as anything, as he could only think about how disgusted he was with his parents, and about Kagura who crossed his mind now and then.


" Sesshomaru this is unfair! Look what your paying me!"

Kagura cried out placing all her bills down right in front of his desk, bursting in when he had a huge meeting going on with other clients. He glanced at the furious young women, dressed in a flowery mini skirt a white button up shirt seeing her extremely upset, and the balls to walk in their and interrupt everything.

" This will only take a second…" Sesshomaru mewed seeing her face flushed red, and her fists standing to the side of her as he dragged her into his small office and threw her violently until the table nudged into her side.

" Don't you see I have a meeting Kagura? I've told you this a dozen times not to waltz in there whenever you feel like!"

Sesshomaru told himself he'd never find himself dating anyone who worked for him, but with Kagura it had been a different case. She had been his secretary for years and did the best she could just to please him, and show that she could hold up her end exactly like him. Still she was outraged, and she hated the fact he was paying her lower ever since they had gotten into a fight saying he couldn't date her anymore because of her being his secretary.

Sesshomaru swiftly grabbed her by the arm pulling her up from her seat, and directly against her which caused her eyes to sparkle and dance with fear and hate mixed into one.

" This isn't the issue anymore! Ever since our fight you've been paying me lower than everyone else! I demand for this to be fixed! I have to live as well as you do! What ever happened to you? Ever since you became ahead of this company full time your not yourself anymore…."

He merely laughed at her efforts to drive her fist into his chest, which obviously didn't do anything but make him amused. He loved her, but he knew his business was more important now and he'd never have time for her no matter where the two were.

" Kagura listen, I have a million things to deal with. I can't promise I'll get to your stuff soon. Plus I've got a meeting to attend to. So go back to doing your job Kagura. Understand just because were something doesn't mean I'm going to treat you any better here. It's strictly business here, and that's all."

He went to waltz away as she lunged onto his arm, and narrowed her eyes that were filled with tears.

" You don't freaking understand do you? Your too god damn consumed in your crap to even care about us anymore! Finally all this power and money has gone straight to your damn head! I can't believe you! I don't care about your stupid meetings, how about you care about me for once!"

He just looked down at Kagura, without saying a single word while she poured her heart out.

" If you don't fix this I'm leaving so you can forget all this!"

She cried out, grabbing her coat with her stuff half way out the door, hoping he'd change his mind. He smiled effortlessly and coaxed her to come back directly near him. He softly held her hand in his palm and made her look directly into his icy cold eyes that gave her a daze in her eyes.

" Kagura pack your stuff…Your done…."

He whispered without any emotion, except venom dripping through him. He realized his business was a lot more important as she just stood trying to keep the tears in but that completely failed. She was outraged after them dating for three entire years, the Sesshomaru she knew and love was dead to her…

" You asshole! I can't believe you! Have fun with your stupid lousy business, I hope you drown in it… To think you'd throw us away just to care about all this money! I hope you are swallowed in this hell!"

She screamed slamming open the doors and grabbing a few things of his and threw it on the floor with anger. She stormed out creating a huge gust of wind behind her as she traveled downstairs with tears in her eyes, as she glanced over at Sango basically telling her 'your next' as she headed into the elevator and caused a major scene. When they saw her stuff they knew another one had been fired.


" Swallowed in this hell.. What does she know? Nothing…."

He told himself looking back on Kagura, and how they were once so happy and now it was just nothing. They never talked, and Kagura had made an attempt once or once but he had blown her off every single time. He was too consumed into running his father's company, becoming something almost everyone hated; a jerk.

He stood underneath the inner part near the door, making sure he was dry as anything as he waited for the cab to pick up. He loved his job, more like addicted to it. He had no time to care about someone he did love, or even tend to someone's needs. All the money and power did was corrupt who he really was. He knew Kagura would do anything to make his life a living hell, but she never even real knew his real name..and knew Sango was dedicated as anything because she had a child to raise, which became her blessing and her burden.

" I can't believe they showed that crap on the news. The fact someone has already got me figured out, is bad enough. Who the hell would even know my real name by chance? Feh, they are going to go look for me somehow. Last thing I need is to be in the spotlight, and have the same end like my parents had…"

He thought sadly, remembering vividly his father's famous smiling face, and the sweet voice of his mother. He would never admitted those things, but it was now what he was missing.


He saw the cab, and immediately threw off his business jacket into his lap and quietly sat in the back looking away seeing the rain pattern against the window replaying everything bad in the back of his mind.

The taxi driver swiftly looked back, trying to make conversation with the white haired, crystal eyed guy who wanted nothing to do with anything right now. He softly leaned back, as Sesshomaru just scoffed.

" Just drop me off on Main."

The man nodded, looking into the rear view mirror and sped off into the empty streets of the city. Swiftly he smiled and caught Sesshomaru off by surprise realizing this was everything, everyone had been talking about it.

" Sure thing. Have you seen that thing about Mr. Tashio? That car accident! That man deserved what he got to him being the richest man and everything. Snuck up snob besides, and them saying he has a son. I'm sure he's a spitting image of his father…"

Before the man went on, hate was swimming that could be seen directly into Sesshomaru's crystal blue eyes. Just glancing at him was enough to see that he was ready to leash out at any given moment. The fact that this taxi driver had such nerve to say the things he did, made Sesshomaru swiftly grab him by the collar.

" You disgust me. No wonder your where you are."

That was really all Sesshomaru could say without giving away who he really was. The man heeled when he felt his binding grip around his collar, and the cold voice that was creepier than anything he had ever heard

" Now…Just drop me off here…"

The man didn't say anything, because he was over whelmed with fear. The look Sesshomaru gave was much more harder than a slap in the face. It left the man speechless, as he nodded and halted to a heavy stop seeing Sesshomaru gather his stuff in his hands and glaring at the dirty looking taxi driver that had sweat beaming off his forehead.

" Thanks..for nothing…"

Sesshomaru muttered walking half way and throwing the money into the air for cab faire. He felt himself tense up seeing him now going to walk at least three huge blocks just to get back to his little apartment.


" The nerve of these people.. I don't freaking understand anymore…."

He thought waltzing down the huge empty street, seeing the odd people walking down the side streets only looking like shadows casted on the walls. He couldn't shake anything off his mind, he was going have to wait for at least a week for this whole business of his mother and father's death to finally be out of the papers and off the screen. He whipped out his key, and finally found himself into his little place that was plain, and had all business papers and things trashed which was never something he left like that, ever.

His eyes widened realizing everything was out of place, knowing someone had obviously broken in and quite well. Astonished and at a lost for words, he looked around seeing his business papers shredded and his picture frame of an old black and white picture of his mother and father dressed in the clothes on the night of their death, was burned to the sides. But enough, to leave their faces to be shown.

" Who the hell is doing all this?"

He stormed around gazing at the photo that had been burnt quite well, seeing only mounds of papers shredded and ruined along his whole apartment. But, after searching there was something that stood out was a picture that was partly blurred of the car crash from a newspaper article cut out, and nailed to his wall and a purple envelope that stood out from everything. He could see whoever this was, had to be the same person and knew easily enough whoever they are, were easily getting into his head and under his skin.

He grabbed the note coldly, seeing his real name addressed written in sloppy handwriting, " Sesshomaru, Tashio." As he grabbed in and sat down, feeling his eyes widen just from what was written.

To Mr. Sesshomaru, Tashio

I guess all these about your mother and father has finally gotten to your head hasn't it? I think you shouldn't be hiding when you could get such fame and fortune out of this… I know I would. Besides, it's not your fault they died now was it? Look I'm just upset as you would be. But how could someone like you pass up an opportunity of being in the spotlight and getting the credit you deserve. The fact that you try to use in cab instead of a limo.. you try so hard not to let yourself be given away fact is, it's too late for that. Like the new edge to the picture? At least I tried to give you credit, and get your name into the spotlight. I guess your not big on someone you don't know, know more about you.. All secrets come out eventually, and yours won't be kept until you do what's in it from me…Eventually you'll figure out what I want, but for now this all that I'm going to give….

Sesshomaru read word for word, disgusting and shocked feeling himself smacking it down hard on the table realizing whoever this was, was a sicko more then anything. This person made a huge section on his wall, nailed in of every headline over the years about the death, since it happened to the rumors of them having a son. His one section of his wall was covered with all worn and tea stained looking papers, with all the dates realizing whoever this was stored this all away until now. Almost like, this had been planned.

" What a bastard! I can't fucking stand this anymore! Whoever this person is, isn't freaking stupid neither. Once I find this asshole, I'll make sure every bone in his bone is broken, and every nerve is hit to the point where he feels pain."

Sesshomaru squished the paper in his hands easily, almost like it had been the person it's self having their entire bones and body squeezed with his ounce of strength. He heatedly ripped off the mounds of newspapers and saw something else left on his television that was just another twist to this whole game. Quietly, he waltz up seeing this old looking video tape that was labeled " Something You Should See" as he carefully slid it in with no thought.

Softly, he threw himself backwards into his chair seeing the actual real footage of his mother and father dying. He thought it may have been fake, but when he saw the color of her dress and remembered exactly what happened that night, he was shocked. He could also see himself off to the corner in the crowds blurred, looking like only a mere child also devastated by this event. He never thought anyone could have the real footage, and there he was proven wrong…..
