Chapter 1
Sesshomaru looked out his 20-story apartment complex. He wasn't located on the twentieth floor. In fact, he was living on the tenth. There were things in his life that happened ten different ways, that was why he chose the tenth floor when he could have chosen any floor. Why? It was simply because he founded the luxurious building that inhabited many richer people and demons like himself.
Sesshomaru Taisho was a lawyer, a very well respected, popular, and successful lawyer among all the others. He didn't have a family just yet; he wasn't even in love. However, he was waiting. Of course his outer expression seemed void of all emotions and it seemed like he would never fall for a girl, but inside, he was still looking and prowling about, just waiting for the right time to strike.
After the long stare out the dark apartment window, Sesshomaru sat down upon his leather chair. There on his desk laid a box of chocolates his secretary secretly slipped to him at work that day. Raising an eyebrow, he brushed the box from the desk with a slight push and it landed in the trash. He knew his secretary was in knee-deep passion for him, but she wasn't the type he was looking for. Besides, they were just business partners. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, he walked over to his small complementary bar and poured himself a glass of wine. Putting his thumb between his teeth, he sat down upon the sofa and gazed into the fire.
A buzzing sound in the next room caught his attention. He had daydreamed the whole night and now it was time to get ready for another day at work. Tiredly, he set his empty glass of wine on the sink counter and continued his routine. First the shower; next the long conference phone calls; then breakfast down at the diner below, and finally, a half hour drive to the office. And he had to admit that life was too boring.
OoOoOo
Later that day, Sesshomaru slowly got in his car and drove from the office. It had been a long and tiresome day. A woman complained about an affair and was planning to divorce. Sesshomaru silently laughed, this was why he knew his wife would have to be perfect; life long commitment was required.
He continued to drive until he came to a stoplight. There, he observed a young woman in a red overcoat dancing in the newly fallen snowed area. She seemed to be ballroom dancing. Just watching the graceful swam caused Sesshomaru's heart to skip several beats while staring at her. Then the stoplight blinked green and he knew he had to leave her, his beauty behind.
Sesshomaru lay upon the bed with a wine glass in hand. He sighed heavily and rolled onto one side. Making a quick and earnest decision, he grabbed his overcoat and left. He would go watch the girl again and perhaps, create a light conversation with her.
Sesshomaru walked briskly down the cold pavement sidewalk and came to a stop. There she was, beautifully dancing in the frosted air. It was as if music were being played that only he could hear through her dancing. He continued to gaze until she spotted him after a twirl. A slight pink could be seen in her cheeks, Sesshomaru was not sure whether it was from embarrassment or the cold winter night.
Her chocolate eyes glanced at him and fell onto the pavement, "I'm sorry, I was in your way."
Sesshomaru inwardly smiled and walked silently passed her. Suddenly he stopped and turned on one heel to try a conversation, but the ice-covered cement could not support him and he slipped. His head rapped against the cold hard floor and soon everything turned black.
