Sorry for the long wait everyone I guess I didn't realize that it had been this long.

Disclaimer: Sadly I must admit that I do not own Inuyasha or more importantly I don't not own Sesshomaru


As the years went by the crew had begun to break up and go their separate ways. The only members that remained was Kouga, Inuyasha, and, of course, Sesshomaru. Every since that fateful day when Midoriko died he had been different. Sesshomaru had gotten over the death of the love of his life quickly. But, after he recovered there was an extremely noticeable difference between the new him and the man he once was His whole personality went through a drastic change leaving behind a new Sesshomaru. One that is cold and arrogant, one that is ruthless and uncaring, a Sesshomaru with no emotions. He simply wasn't the same person. He could take care of himself fine, but he was so cruel at times and kept everyone at a distance.

Inuyasha and Kouga had stuck around this long because they feared for his sanity, but at last they decided that it time for they, too, to start a new life. They had agreed that they would go to the new world, as it was commonly called, and there they would go their separate ways.

The three men were currently sharing a round of drinks at a small tavern located close to the port. They believed that this was the last time they would ever see each other again. And so, Inuyasha and Kouga drank until they beyond drunk and Sesshomaru paid someone to carry them to the Inn down the road since he only one smart enough to only have a few drinks.

That morning, despite the horrid aches in their heads, Inuyasha and Kouga woke early to say their goodbyes to Sesshomaru.

"Where are you going to go?" Inuyasha asked,

"I'm heading back to England" the demon answered, his voice was cold and monotone. Although he was saying goodbye to his brother his voice and expression was void of all emotions. Sesshomaru's dyed black hair blew slightly in the wind. He had dyed it years ago and carefully styled so that it covered his pointed ears. The crew had fond out the hard way that demons aren't exactly welcomed in this world. Inuyasha, too, dyed his hair but, he had the hardest time since he had white dog ears on the top of head. He learned that hats fixed this problem easily


Years passed by and the crew had lost touch completely. They were scattered throughout the world. None of them were dumb enough o stay in one place to long, but they were all able to happy anyway. Kouga was currently in Tibet working as a journalist and was engaged to a 25 year old Filipina. Naraku had seemed to have disappeared completely. Not one of the old crew members had seen him in decades. Other men were living in parts of England, China, Egypt, and America. There was even a rumor that one of them was living in Antarctica and was married to a penguin….but that's most likely all it was, a rumor. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru had met up again in California in the year 2001 and had decided to work together. And so they started a business and it was still going strong five years later, in fact it was the top business in the world closely followed by another, Higurashi Inc.

"They had better get here soon, I'm tired of waiting." Inuyasha complained drumming his clawed nails against the hard table in boredom.

He thought about his day that morning. He had driven to work in his most expensive car, but ended up walking half the way anyway since there was so much traffic and if he had continued to drive he would have ended up driving in circles around the office building. Since he was getting to work so late there would be no reserved parking spots left let alone any normal parking spot in the parking garage located on the basement floor. It was a good thing he had his umbrella with him tonight for it had started raining pretty hard. He hated downtown San Diego at night during Halloween time. There was so much traffic because of the Haunted Hotel and other things like that they had going on. So he had to walk and while he was walking he had spotted three bums lying in the middle of the sidewalk so he threw a coin to them to help out. It was then that he, Inuyasha, realized that he hated Downtown all the time, there were so many homeless people hanging around and the place itself was a bit scary look even during daylight, not that he was scared or thing.

Just as he finished thinking the doors burst open, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru got to their feet quickly and gracefully out of respect for their future business partner, and a woman ran into the room panting and soaking wet. Her long dripping black was currently in her face hiding it from view. "I'm sorry I'm late." She began to speak really quickly, "There was a lot of traffic and so we decided to walk and then it start raining and we didn't have an umbrella because the whether channel said that it was supposed to be a clear night with out a cloud in the sky and then Sango fell and brought Rin down with her and I ended up tripping over them. And so we were all on the ground and not one person even offered to help us up and this one dude even threw a damn quarter at me!" She said tossing her hair out of her face angrily.

Inuyasha looked away guiltily. His eyes instead fell onto his elder brother who was staring at the ranting women. To the untrained eye you would think that his expression was the same as it always, but to Inuyasha, there was a change. He seemed somewhere between shocked and entranced. Curiously he looked in the direction of the woman who was currently getter her paper work in order before the meeting. He saw it. The woman looked just like her. She looked just Midoriko.

"Hey Kagome." A woman with long brown hair called out at she walked quickly into the room another woman, this one with shoulder length, layered, black hair, at her heels.

"We got the copies." The other woman said.

"Okay, then." Kagome began, "Let's start by introducing our selves. I'm Kagome and these are my sisters Sango and Rin. We're the owners of Higurashi Inc."

Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru expecting him to say something as he was normally the one who talked during these meetings. He was only there because he was expected to be there as the co-owner of Tashio Co.

"I'm Inuyasha," Inuyasha began seeing that Sesshomaru wasn't going to speak, "I'm the co-owner and this is Sesshomaru, owner of Tashio Co."

"Yes, nice to meet you." Sango said with a nod of her head

"Let's get down to business shall we?" Kagome and her sisters sat themselves down at the conference table that seated six, leaving one space available.

"Of course." Inuyasha said sitting. He straightened the papers on his desk when he realized Sesshomaru was still standing. He cleared his throat to wake his brother out of his stupor.

"You have read the terms of that we sent?" Sango began. Sango was the oldest out her sisters; she had just turned 23 just a few days ago.

"Yes." Sesshomaru spoke for the first time

"And you agree to them?"

"We do." Sesshomaru began, his voice and face both void of any emotion at all. "But one problem remains"

"And what might that be?" Rin questioned curiously. She was the youngest of the three sisters at 18. Although she was young she was a genius and had already graduated from college with her masters in business. Rin thought that she had gone through every possible problem in their terms and all the other paper work.

"Who will be the actual owners of the company." Inuyasha stated

"I think that each group should have a representative in the ownership." Sango said seriously

"You want two owners?" Inuyasha scoffed, "You can't have two owners of one company?"

"There are plenty of successful companies with more then one owner." Sango fought back

"Name one."

"I can name more then one: Baskin Robins and Ben and Jerry's" She replied confidently

"I can tell you like to eat" Inuyasha sneered

"I agree with Miss Higurashi's idea" Sesshomaru said over the fighting couple

"WHAT?" Inuyasha yelled

"I will represent Tashio Co. for obvious reasons, who will represent Higurashi Inc.?"

"I think Kagome should." Rin said nodding

"Why me?"

"You're way better at this whole business thing then either of us." Her other sister said nodding. She had calmed down from the argument easily, leaving Inuyasha seething.

"You're the oldest though" Kagome argued weakly

"But I would like more time with my painting." Sango dreamed of becoming an artist, she had talent, but she also needed to help support her sisters. Their father had died when she was 19 and with both her sisters underage she was all they had to care for them. Their father had left them his company so they were all expected to work there. Things were getting hard though and since they couldn't sell their only source of income their only choice was to take Tashio Co. up on their offer to join the companies.

"Rin's the smartest."

"Please, I don't even have my license yet. How am I supposed to run a company?"

"Fine. I guess that I'll represent us." Kagome finally gave into her sisters. She flicked a piece of wet hair out of her face. Kagome was only 21 and she was the only own on her sisters to inherit their mother's stormy blue eyes. She was proud to have her mother's eyes. It was one of the only things she had left of her. Kari Higurashi had died giving birth to Rin 19 years ago.

"Glad that's decided," Inuyasha yawned. "Can I go now?"

"There is still a bit of paperwork left." Kagome said flipping through some of the paper that Rin and Sango had brought in. Finding what she was looking for, she stood, walked behind Sesshomaru, and placed the papers in front of him to look at. "This shows that you agree to our terms."

Sesshomaru said nothing, but simply signed the paper on the dotted line trying to not become overwhelmed by Kagome intoxicating scent, it reminded him so much of Midoriko.

"Here, you need to need to agree our terms as well." Inuyasha said pulling out a few papers of his own. "As the joint owner, you are the only one needed to sign."

"Alright then, I've already read through all this." Kagome said as she read the first few lines. "Where do I sign?" She watched as Inuyasha flipped through a few pages before finding the place for her sign. "Sorry." Kagome said as she leaned over Sesshomaru to sign the paper

"And your signature on this paper over here, naming you the official joint owner." Inuyasha continued pulling another sheet of paper in front of her.

Kagome leaned over Sesshomaru once again, "Sorry again."

"Glad that's all taken care of." Sango said smiling

Kagome returned to her seat and folded her hands in front of her professionally.

"Is there anything else you feel we need to discuss?" Rin questioned. Her small voice echoing in the large room

"I believe that's all." Sesshomaru said wanting to get out of there to think.

"Alright then, I look forward to working with the both of you." Kagome stated getting to her feet once more.

The room lit up when there was a sudden flash of lightening and a clap of thunder. Kagome and Rin yelped and clung onto each other instinctively. The thunder was followed the sound of rain falling quickly from the sky.

"From your earlier outburst I'm guessing that you don't have a ride home. Would you like a ride?" Inuyasha questioned, "I parked about a mile away, but Sesshomaru was able to sit through the long lines of traffic."

"That would be great!" all three girls exclaimed.

Sesshomaru turned quickly to look at his brother. His eyes reflected his startled and angry feelings.

"We can't let them walk home in this weather" he reasoned

"Fine"

The group of five made their way to the lobby of the building and into the parking garage that was abandoned save for a few cars, including a very expensive looking silver Porsche.

The girls couldn't help but 'Ooohhhh' and 'Aaahhh" as they piled into the car.

Sesshoumaru could tell that this would be the longest car ride he had ever expierienced
