The first few days of work were normal. He did what he was assigned and had no trouble doing it, though every day he go home late and exhausted. Thank god it was Friday. Naraku got to stay home tomorrow and relax. He couldn't wait for this day to end even thou it still hadn't even started.
He was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing. A sleepy eyed Naraku got out of his bed. Picking up the phone he notices it was still dark. 'Who could be calling at this hour?'
"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty." Sesshoumaru said.
"Why are you calling me at 5:00 in the morning?" Naraku growled.
"I forgot to tell you that on Friday every one comes in at 5:30"
"What! You can be serious."
"Yes I am, and to make it up to my employs I send a car to pick them up." Before he could respond he hears a loud peep form out side. Opening his window he saw an old beat up mini van parked in front of his apartment. The van was rusty and one window was broken, the car was leaning on one side more and it had a big dent on the side. The front window had a big crake going down the middle. It could also use a good wash.
He could see Shippo, Kikyou and Bankotsu squished in the back with then other people and four more people in the front. It was completely packed, he was surprise the old piece of junk could even move
"Sir, there's no way I'm going to fit in there."
"Well you better find a way. You could always walk" he put more force on walk then the other words. I guess he is mad at me for refusing the ride home.
"But if you're even a second late your fired."
"Jack ass" Naraku whispered.
"I herd that."
"You want me to say it again?"
Naraku was seriously considering on killing the man.
"Maybe later but now hurry along work starts at 5:30 on the dot." With that he hanged up.
"Shit if I walk I wont make it in time." He growled. With a quick shower Naraku ran out, he didn't even bother to brush his hair or eat breakfast. The first firendly face he saw was his best friend.
"Hey Naraku, what's up?" Bankotsu asked.
"Me at 5:00 in the morning." He said grouchy.
"How the hell I'm I going to fit?" he yelled.
"Easy." Kikyou got up and pushes Naraku into the seat she was already sitting on and sat on his laps. Everyone looked at them and Bankotsu even whistled.
"Comfy?" She asked.
"Yea I'm good." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
They fit in two more people before they finally reached Taisho corp. Out of the car Naraku yawned and stretched his legs. There was a popping sound when he moved his arms.
Dame that really hurt my back. Shit that guy is cruel, he's probably laughing at us right now. Well at least Kikyou sat on my lap.
Looking up at the sky he saw it was still dark out. The sun hadn't even started to come out. Isn't against the law to make your employs come out this early? I probably have a huge stack of papers to fill out. The raven hair man thought that the worse part about this day was that the elevator was broken. He had to walk 30 floors. By the time he got there he was soaked in sweat and what do you know, Sesshoumaru was standing right in front of the door. A smirk was plaster on his know it all face.
"Naraku you're late."
The employ looked at the clock.
"I'm only five minutes late."
"Five minutes is more then a second.
Swallowing hard the man started to sweat. Today might be the day he gets fired again. It was another stupid reason. What am I going to do, what am I going to tell my sisters? I'll have to send Kana to a foster home, I might never see her again. Kagura and I will be kicked out on the street, we won't have anywhere to live and nothing to eat.
"Naraku you will work late today and come in tomorrow."
"But tomorrow is my day off." Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes.
"Fine you can have tomorrow off but don't bother coming back the next day."
"That's not fair."Naraku said.
"Of all people you should know life's not fair now go to work." He turned around haft way before stopping. He looked back at the raven hairs wrinkled dirty clothes and tangled hair. A chuckle escaped his wolfish smile.
"For heaven sake Naraku clean your self up, you look like some whiled animal." Then he walked off.
"Son of a bitch." He growled. Naraku hit the wall.
"I herd that." He said.
"I don't care" Naraku yelled.
The red eyed man had been working all morning. He had filled out about thirty permission forms, order a thousand different thing and copyed some papers he had to hand out to every one. Needless to say he was exhausted and it was only 4:00 and he still had a lot of work to do.
"Naraku" Sesshoumaru the tall man was standing near him.
"What is it?" he asked a little winy.
"Here" he gave Naraku a paper with a small address written on it.
"What's this?"
"This is the address of by dry cleaner. Go pick up my cloths."
Naraku's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe what he just herd. Did Sesshoumaru think he was some kind of errand boy that he could boss around?
"Hell no, I'm not some kind of errand boy. Make Shippo do it. I'm sure he'll be more the happy to help. He seems like the suck up type anyway."
"Shippo's busy washing my car, besides I asked you".
"That's not in my job prescription. I refuse."
"It clearly state in you job prescription that the employ, you, will do any job the boss, me, assigns. But if you don't want to pick up my laundry you can always clean my private bath room." an annoying smirk decorated his lips.
"Fine I'll pick up your stupid cloths up but only if I get extra money for it."
"If it will make you happy I will give you an extra 50$ on your next pay check." Getting up Naraku head towards the stairs.
"Naraku pick me up some coffee on your way back, black and no sugar."
"Personality match your taste in coffee I see" Naraku said. Sesshoumaru smirked and walked back to his office.
"That guy never smiles, he just smirks. Creepy." he whispered to himself.
It took Naraku an hour before he found that laundry cleaner and another half hour to get the coffee. Carrying Sesshoumaru's heave suits in one hand and in the other his coffee. He ran up the stairs as fast as he could. The last thing he needed was to hear Sesshoumaru complaining about the coffee being cold. In his hast some of the scolding hot coffee spilled out of the cup hitting his fingers. Naraku hissed form the pain and tried his best to ignore his burning hand.
In his office the ice king sat alone, he stared at the clear blue sky from his giant window. There was a rare smile on his face as his mind thought of happier times. He thought about his carefree youth, it was a time filled with love and joy, there was no worries or anger. A part of him wanted to go back to those happy days, another part of him was sad because he knew those days would never return. But he was excited for the future, he had big plans and nobody was going to stop him. One way or another he would get his happiness again even if he needed to take it by force.
"Soon, every soon." Reality knocked at the door.
"Sesshoumaru, I got your dame cloths." Naraku yelled.
"Well he seems angry." Sesshoumaru said to himself.
"Come in"
Naraku stormed in, he threw his cloths on the sofa and but the coffee on Sesshoumaru's desk. He turned around to leave but Sesshoumaru called him.
"Naraku I do believe I asked for my coffee to be black with no sugar."
"They didn't serve it black and they wouldn't take special orders."
"Get me another coffer and this time get it right." he threw the coffee in the trash.
"The store doesn't serve it black" Naraku growled.
"Then go to a different store."
"But that's ten blocks away!"
"Then you better start walking." Sesshoumaru opened his news paper and started reading, completely ignoring the venomous glare he was reciting from Naraku. After a few minutes of glaring at his boss he stormed out cursing.
It was a whole two hours before Naraku came back. There was a huge line at the store that started from the counter all the way down the street. Someone even spilled hot coffee on him. Now not only did he have a big stain on his white shirt but now he had a big burn on his chest. Then after he bought the coffee he had to clime 30 floors of stairs for the third time today. Naraku could easily say this was the worst day of his life.
"Why do I have to work on the 30 floor?" he panted.
Entering Sesshoumaru's office he tripped over a foot stole that was place directly in the middle. The coffee went flying and spilled all over the white carpet. Picking himself up he looked around, he knew that stool wasn't there before.
"Naraku" He herd Sesshoumaru growl.
"First you bring me the wrong coffee, now you spill coffee all over my nice white carpet. What do you have to say for your self Naraku?" he stood up from his chair looking intimidating.
"That stool wasn't there before." he said.
"Well maybe if you weren't always rampaging in here you wouldn't trip over things." Sesshoumaru gave him an icy glare and Naraku returned it.
"The worst part is that you haven't even apologized." Naraku pushed his ego as far back in his mind as possible.
"I'm sorry Mr. Sesshoumaru I will be more careful in the future." He lowered his eyes to the floor. This hurt more then he thought it would.
"Now I have to pay some one to clean up this carpet and you can forget about the coffee, Shippo already got me one from the kitchen." He said.
Naraku's face went blank. He had forgotten about the coffee maker in the kitchen. But Sesshoumaru probably didn't forget. He made Naraku clime 30 floors of stairs twice for nothing 'Dose he know how behind I am in my work? He could have told me to get one from the kitchen.
"I'm going back to work" he growled. Walking out he slams the door on his way out. Once he was out of his office Sesshoumaru chuckled.
"I forgot how cute he is when he's mad."
