Chapter 9

Naraku skipped down the street happily. He wasn't even worried about the loss of his shirt. Around his finger he swung a solid gold chain. He had snatched it from that brat when he grabbed his collar. Serves him right.

If he had shaken his hand he would have stolen one of those nice rings too.

Once he cashed it in he have enough money to buy new cloths and more weed. He did wish he could wear it himself but there was a chance Sesshoumaru might see him wearing it. That guy seemed to always be lurking around.

"Maybe I'll save enough money to buy a car, or at least a bike. Yea a bike would be better, it's not like I go anywhere far."

Naraku turned the corner only to see Shippo and his pretend girlfriend Rin. He hid the chain in his pocket and turn around fast trying to get out of sight.

"Hi Naraku" Rin called. Cursing under his breath he put on a fake smile and turned around.

"Hi you two love birds, I didn't see you" he waved.

"Shippo and I are going to the movies. Want to come." She said.

"I'm good, I leave you two alone. Have a great time." He started walking away but Rin called him again.

"Did you get your clothes back from Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked.

"Yea but the shirt got ruined."

"Aww that's too bad. Didn't he buy you a new one?"

"Yea but I didn't take it." He grumbled. He took a few more steps forward.

"Why not?" the girl just didn't know when to shut up.

"It wasn't my style."

"Oh to bad" she said sadly. By this time Naraku had covered enough ground to avoid any more conversation.

The next day there was another meeting and every one gathered in the meeting room. Unlike before Naraku made sure to sit far in the back. Sesshoumaru came in with his younger brother and some man with short black hair and purple eyes. He looked strangely familiar. Any way they all wore black suits.

"Attention" Sesshoumaru said. All chatter stopped.

"This is my brother Inuyasha Toga. He is my Co-CEO. Treat him with respect, he may be young but he his quiet capable of taking care of himself." Inuyasha stepped forward. Looking more refined and elegant then last night.

"I can not say what an honor it is to be working here. I am sure that with my gudients this company can improve and progress farther then it has ever gone. I look forward to working with you all" after he finished his speech he stepped back. Sesshoumaru once again stepped forward.

"I'm sure my brother will make good on his promises, he always dose. Now for the man to my right" the purple eyed man moved up.

"This is Miroku Jonson. He has just traveled from America to work here as your new manger. I'm sure you will all welcome in with open arms. And last but not lest its time I made my decision about Naraku"

"What I do" he had been dozing of but the moment he herd his name he jumped.

"I had a good time at your home so I invite you to mine at six o'clock on Friday two weeks from now."

"What if I don't want to go?" he grumbled. With that statement every one gasped.

"It would be rude and cause you difficulties."

"What kind of difficulties."

"Nothing really. Oh and by the way I been thinking about which employees I might send to America once my new company is built. How good is your English?"

"Fine I get it I'll go" Naraku growled. He folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Naraku" Miroku whispered he looked at the raven head closely.

Once Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha left Miroku walked up to him.

"Origumo Naraku?" Naraku unintentionally turned to face him. The other man snapped his fingers and smiled.

"I knew it was you"
"Ah…" Naraku looked at him strangely.

"Don't remember me huh. Come on we went to high school together. Maybe you don't remember me because I'm not shoved into my own locker." There was a slight bitterness in his voice.

"In high school; I went by nerd or American kid. Not once did anyone use my real name." he said casually.

Vivid memories went threw Naraku's mind.

Flash back:

He remembered a small kid, his face filled with pimples and braces on his teeth, he was short and skinny. The little boy cried and screamed as he was pushed into the locker. A group of kids laughing and calling him names.

A younger version of Naraku held the kids wallet in his hand and held it above his head. He sneered as the boy fought his grip.

"Thanks for buying me lunch brat" Naraku said. He slapped the door on the kids face.

Every one laughed and ignored the loud sobbing coming from the locker.

Threw the week Naraku stole the kids lunch money, skate board and phone. He would often leave him with bruise.

He remembered the kid being a foreigner, an exchange student from America. He was also a few years younger them him. Apparently he was some kind of genies that flew by four grads.

Strangely the kid never told on him. Not even when he accidently broke one of his ribs. Naraku always thought it was out of fear that the kid kept quiet. Any way he tortured the kid till he was a junior. Then finally the brat got the sense to go back to America before his senior year.

He left right after prom when Naraku pants him in front of every one. It was funny because he wasn't wearing under where and he hadn't grown hair down there yet. The kid ran into the bathroom crying and never game back. That was the last time he ever saw him.

End of flash back:

"I think you have the wrong person. Yes my name is Naraku but my last name is Hekio." He hoped he could fool him. The last thing he needed was another enemy.

"No I wouldn't forget those black locks anywhere or those crimson red eyes. Come on don't deniy it. You have to remember me, short skinny kid with glasses and braces. I've changed a lot since then."

It was true. He was tall and more muscular. Not a signal blemish on his face and teeth sparkling white.

"I'm sorry but you must be mistaken. I don't remember." He turned his head away. A crowed had started forming around them.

"You really don't remember me, I think I still have my high school year book. Maybe I can find your picture."

"I said I don't know you. Leave me alone you brat" he yelled. Every one was shocked including Miroku. Quickly Naraku rushed out before anyone could say anything.

"Dame that guys gonna make my life miserable or worse rat me out to Sesshoumaru."

Luckily Naraku had managed to finish all his work earlier, so he didn't have to go back into a crowed room where every one would be staring at him

So he just headed home.

Bankotsu busted into Naraku's apartment to find the raven head going threw a old high school year book.

"What was that all about Naraku. Every one is talking about it. What happen?"

"Wait what bare you talking about" Kagura asked.

"Calm down, nothing happen. Miroku the new manager went to school with me" Naraku said.

"So why did you freak out like that?"

"I might have, sort of picked on him when we were younger. Look I'll show you." He opened the book to where Miroku was.

"That's him, that dork?"

"Yea I still cant believe it but that's him. He was in the science club and mathematic team while I was a foot ball jock"

"Let me guess you picked on him a lot" Kana said chuckling.

"What's so funny about this I'm in deep shit" Naraku said.

"A guy you bullied in high school is now your boss, you see things like this happen in cartoons and movies but never in real life."

"Glad to see that my problems amuse you so much little sister."

"I'm positive he knows it me. He didn't seem to believe me when I denied it."

"Sucks to be you." Bankotsu smirked.

"Ass"

"Bitch"

"Get out" Naraku barked.

"Make me" Bankotsu yelled back. The two began to wrestle. The pinned each other down and threw themselves to the floor. They didn't stop till night when Kagura came out with two burgers and a beer.

"Alright boys settle down dinners ready and there foot ball showing on the tv"

"Change it its only collage foot ball" Bankotsu said. "Look there giving white chicks."

"You've seen that a hundred times. Let watch battle lost Angela's" Naraku said.

"No were watching worlds top modal." Kagura snatched the remote from Naraku's hand.

"Come on I hate that" Naraku complained.

"No, its my turn to watch Tv and I want to see Worlds next top modal"

"Arrrgggg" the two males moaned.

The show was an hour long and agonizing boring. There burgers on served to entertain them for ten minutes till they were gone. Then they had nothing to do but sit and watched.

"Hey lets play foot ball in the back" Bankotsu said.

"Its to dark and there's no lights out there." Naraku yawned.

"How about cards?"

"Na, lets just wait there's only another ten minutes left."

"Hey maybe you should take a sick day tomorrow, give things time to cool down." Bankotsu suggested.

"No that would only arouse suspicion."

"You think if you apologized to him he would forgive you."

"Who?"

"The manager"

"No, I fuked up his life real bad in high school. He probably still hates me" Naraku sigh deeply. He was going to have a long day tomorrow.

The next day at work Naraku made sure to arrive early so he wouldn't be seen or notice by the new manager. He even got Bankotsu to come along with him. He made sure to make Bankotsu go into every hall way and elevator first to make sure Miroku wasn't there.

At the moment the pair was currently joking around while eating crackers and coffee.

"So any luck with Kikiyo?"

"Actually I'm going clubbing with her on Sunday"

"Planning on getting ass?"

"Hopefully" he chuckled.

At that moment Miroku walked into the kitchen. Naraku froze when his eyes fell on him. Smiling the man walked up to the pair.

"It's nice to see I'm not the only one who likes to come to work early. Planning on working hard today boys? I'm counting on you, especially you Naraku. Sesshoumaru tells me your one of his brightest workers. I'm looking forward to see how well you do." He said smiling.

"I will do my best." Naraku said nervously.

"By the way I'm so sorry for what happen yesterday. I must have had you mistaken. It's just that you looked so familiar. I didn't mean to push you like that. I hope we can put this indissident behind us and start over."

"Sure, no problem." Naraku took a breath in relief.

Miroku walked to the other side of the room to his office. He dug threw his pockets for the keys but he couldn't find them.

"Darn, I forgot my keys. Bankotsu be a lamb and get the security guard. He has a spare."

"Alright" Bankotsu said.

Once he was gone Miroku glared at Naraku.

"What's wrong Mr. Miroku." He said nervously.

"Mr. Miroku, hmm I like that. Especially when you say it Naraku Hekkio or should I say Origumo Naraku."

"I don't know what you're talking about." He growled.

"Stop playing dumb. It doesn't suit you." He growled back, voice much darker then before.

"Boy how the mighty have fallen. One day you're the heir of a million dollar company next your just some loser working for a industry barley scratching by. I read all about how your dad got arrested and how his company was destroyed. Weird that you weren't mentioned in it. How's it feel to be at the bottom of the food chain? Not so go I assume."

"I have nothing to say to you." Naraku turned around.

"Of cores you do. I dreamed of the day when I would be able to get back at you. I just never thought I get such a perfect chance. The almighty Naraku working for me as one of my lackys."

"Watch it. I'm not your lacky"

"I beg to disagree."

"I have to get back to work" Naraku started walking away.

"Oh yes do work hard Naraku, I can only imagine how difficult it is to support yourself and your sisters on your pay check. Are you living in some studio somewhere?"

"I have better things to do then waist my time talking to some brat."

Miroku's eyes narrowed and his chaw tightened.

"I always hated when you called me that. It made me feel so week and small. But now the tables are turn and I have the power. You better show me some respect."

"Respect is earned and you haven't earned mine. You're still the same little nerdy cry baby with braces from high school." He yelled. Miroku's eye twitched and his hands balled into a fist.

"If only you apologized I would have been willing to forgive you."

"I don't need your forgiveness." He growled.

"No, but you'll wish you had it in a few days. I'm your boss remember."

"You don't scare me kid."

"I can't wait to see all that bravado crack away." Miroku sneered.

Bankotsu finally came back with Kouga who had a ring of keys in one hand.

"Ok I'll have that door open before you can say Employ bonus." He said. Miroku chuckled.

"I'll think about it ."

Naraku had taken the opportunity to sneak away. He quickly headed to his cubical to hopefully finish his work early.

"I cant believe the nerve of that guy." Naraku growled.

"I know" Bankotsu sighed.

On the walk home Naraku had been telling him about what happen with Miroku over and over. First the man had been shocked and concerned but then after Naraku kept repeating himself all day he grew board and annoyed.

"I'm sure if you stay out of his way he will leave you alone' he yawned.

"No he won't. You should have seen him today. He's not going to let this go. And you know what else I have to go to Sesshoumaru's house in two weeks. What am I going to do?"

"I forgot about that. Boy he must have had real fun with you. Enough to end up in your bed." He laughed.

"Watch it" Naraku growled. "You know I don't go that way, much less with that man." They entered there apartment building

"A lot can happen when you're drunk. I wouldn't be surprised if you two started feeling each other up and don't remember." He sneered.

"In your horny gay dreams" Naraku spat.

"A shame, if you date Sesshoumaru you have all the money you need. Oh wouldn't it be great if you two got married. You better start watching what you eat if your going to be a show husband." He laugh.

"Your dead Bankotsu" The Asian man ran up the step avoiding Naraku's fist.

"Coward" he yelled when the other man slapped the door in his face.
"Sesshoumaru and Naraku sitting in a tree. K.I.S.S.I.N.G. First come beer then come sex and here comes Naraku in a designer dress." Bankostu sang from the safety of his apartment.

"I'm going to kill you when you come out" he yelled. He banged his fist on the door.

"First you'll have to catch me" he laughed.

After ten minutes of banging on the door with little success Naraku cursed under his breath and headed to his apartment.

"I'll kill him tomorrow." He growled
