Author's Notes: Hello everyone! I hope I'm not too late on posting... but the Internet really hates me TT… it won't let me upload! BTW: the italic parts at the beginnings of the chapters will be fragments of the character's thoughts, I will post one for every chapter… at least I hope I can… haha
THIS CHAPTER HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN (I might rewrite again)
Memory of you Arrival
Women, filthy creatures that would be at your every beck and call if you had what they desired. I've never looked at them twice… and I would never in my dreams thought that I could fall for a simple girl.
-S.N.
Sesshoumaru Nagashima stared at the clear night sky from the Narita National Airport with eyes of boredom. It has 3 hours since his flight had landed in Tokyo from New York and he was dead tired, yet there has been no sight of Inuyasha or anyone from the house.
'That vapid, idiot half-brother of mine must've forgotten… again… He never remembers much…' The man with gorgeous golden eyes gave out a very low growl before he stood up from his seat in the first class waiting room and walked out the airport carrying the usual nonchalant expression.
There were many taxis waiting for an affluent customer at the front gate, most were adipose or looked disoriented. Sesshoumaru chose the one where the driver seemed most "refined" and unlikely to start a dull conversation. He got in the car that seemed way too small for it's own good and directed the driver.
" To Nagashima Private Drive, I will not be expecting any delays."
To much of Sesshoumaru's contentment, his prediction was correct, for the driver did not say a single word on the way back to his estate.
A man wearing anmessily buttonedgray blouse and pants stared at the ivory hospital wall intensely with his exotic golden eyes; the surgery room's light was on and it seems to be glaring at him for what he has done…But it really wasn't his fault, not much of it anyway… The girl had ignored the streetlights and dashed on the road fall of traffic like there was no tomorrow.
…Sure he had been speeding a little, but he was in a hurry, if he didn't arrive on time to pick up his arrogant brother at the airport, Sesshoumaru will have more things to prove that he was in fact a disgrace to the family… Though this accident will probably get him disowned.
"Feh"
Inuyasha's face seems to be full of annoyance and yet, there were glints of concern embroidered in his golden eyes that were almost identical to his older brother's. The only difference was that his eyes seemed to have far more emotion than Sesshoumaru's.
It had been 5 hours since the girl was sent into the surgery room with what seemed like 20 medical practitioners. Occasionally nurses would come running out, but before Inuyasha could question them about what the hell was going on inside, they would run right back in with things he didn't recognize.
They only time a nurse had ever said something to him, it was to ask him if he had AB type blood, which by the time Inuyasha answered 'no', the nurse was already no where in sight. There was absolutely no news on how the she was doing.
Before Inuyasha could start scowling at all the doctors and nurses at Tokyo's most refined (and most expensive) hospital, a set of repose and well-paced footsteps started towards him.
'Oh, great, so his Excellency decides to come after all.'
"So… Sesshoumaru, came to see how much family honor I lost you this time, huh?"
Inuyasha turned abruptly and prepared himself for what's to come from Sesshoumaru's mouth that was always full words that could mentally abuse, or flatter you until the insanity. It was one of his many talents that made him succeed in business.
To Inuyasha's surprise however, the older half-brother didn't say anything… his brusque eyes told 1,000 words, and most weren't very tantalizing.
Inuyasha, who never had a very well rounded temper, sneered at the impassive man, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
"Look, it wasn't my damn fault! The wench just rushed out of no where!"
Sesshoumaru's face divulged nothing more than a look of pure repugnance.
An exhausted Doctor Touki that came out of the surgery room broke the cessation of sound between Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru; the room's lights were finally off after 7 hours. Sesshoumaru glanced at him and spoke for the first time, "The girl is doing fine I presume?"
The surgeon looked at both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and sighed, whether it was out of grief, or exhaustion, no one knew.
" Well… the girl is fine for now. It was a pretty critical accident, her skull had hit the car window first, and she's lost a lot of blood because of what seemed like a stab wound. Thank goodness we had an extra storage of AB type blood, or else we would've lost her. She's in a coma right, we can't determine anything else until she wakes up."
'A stab wound? Now how did the fool manage that feat?' Sesshoumaru couldn't help but expose a hint of sarcasm in his thought.
Still, the brothers let out a sigh of relief (Inuyasha did anyway). At least she's ok. "Alright, give him a call when she wakes up." Sesshoumaru glanced at Inuyasha and started to walk away from all this chaos, Inuyasha followed behind, not daring to say anything else.
"Right, but one more thing Nagashima-san (Sesshoumaru), there were no identification papers on this girl, so we couldn't contact her family, and there's also the hospital bill… and as you know… our policy…"
Touki didn't even finish his sentence when Sesshoumaru waved a hand at him and vanished into the enigmatic night. The doctor didn't seem to need anything more than that.
"Talk about prestige." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath.
Naraku stared at Juromaru with aggravation. The man that sat at the front desk of a shadowy office lighted with nothing but ghostly white candles appeared to be slightly troubled.
"So you just left her when she ran away?" Naraku whispered dangerously under the dim light. He was on edge.
"I didn't just leave her, Naraku-sama, I made sure she had a nice, deep wound on her back before she ran away. She didn't escape quit successfully anyway, the stupid wench ran right into the busy traffic, and BOOM! was hit by a speeding BMW. There's no way she could've survived that. No hospital could not provide that much blood, and her family wouldn't be there to give any" Juromaru smirked.
"Well then, if you're so intellectual, then tell me, how do we tell her about this? She wants the body; or else the 2 million will be down the drain. Can you think of something about that?" The man with wavy ebony hair asked his assassin.
"For once Naraku-sama, let me handle this… I've got all planned out… besides, all she wants is the inheritance to the enterprise, and she wouldn't care less about how the wench died. I'm sure we can work things out with Kagome Higurashi's identification papers." Juromaru replied flagitiously and licked his lips.
Sesshoumaru rolled around in his silken bed covers, even though he was almost in a state of fatigue, he couldn't sleep. Right after, he got home, the butler had informed him of Inuyasha's unintended "misfortune".
'And there I thought that I could finally get some rest after a month of hard work to get that deal decided… It's all that moron's fault, he goes out, drives like a mooncalf, gets in a car accident and the woman he hits almost dies. If the media ever find out about this, we'll be done for, the company's stock will drop like there's no tomorrow, and that deal with the Higurashi Shikon Enterprise will be down the drain… Yet, I doubt Inuyasha ever thinks about these matters…'
Sesshoumaru glowered; Inuyasha would surely pay dearly for this mess.
'Right now, the top priority is to make sure that no one find out about this, I'll need to have Jaken be generous about this year's hospital donations. I'll also have to make sure that the girl doesn't file for a lawsuit… Why can't Inuyasha stay out of trouble for just one month? Why does father has to have this bastard here anyway?'
Sesshoumaru's irritation for Inuyasha grew again; every time Inuyasha made a mess, it was always he who cleaned up the mess. It has been like this since Inuyasha was born, and it won't be any different this time.
Kikyou leaned against the only window in her enormous room, her hair falling to cover half her face. She had just gotten a call from Juromaru to meet him in Tokyo when she came in place of her younger sister for the deal. He didn't say anything more; it was kind of suspicious. Still, it had been done. Kagome had died. Her wish was finally fulfilled.
Now, alas, she can claim what should have rightfully been hers. Nothing and no body would stand in her way… When her father had told her that Kagome would handle the company instead of her, she was furious. She's worked her ass off for years and had finally climbed up the ladder when her father ordered her to be on the top of the pyramid.
Kagome didn't deserve it.
'Kagome Higurashi was a bastard child with an unknown mother, how dare she try to interfere with my plans… She could do nothing better than me, and yet, father had decided to give her the biggest part of the pie. I would never let her do that… I wonder sometimes if she knows how much pain she's caused me? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. She had ruined my life, and so I ruined hers.'
A/N: I know it's a little short, but a whole bunch of tests are coming up… so I couldn't write much… But I'll try to write more next time! In the next chapter, Kagome will wake up… if I don't add anything else. This chapter might be a little confusing, but I tried to organize it so the REAL story can start! Well…Till then! R&R!
