Its been so long and I have contemplated about one-shot or a couple of chapters and I went with a couple of chapters I couldn't end it with Sesshomaru walking away being a total jerk.
I do NOT own Inuyasha or any of the wonderful characters besides Mizuki. Nor do I own the song, that's what you get. It belongs to Paramore.
Please enjoy this new chapter.
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
Weeks had passed since the party incident. Both had yet to say anything to one another and went on as if nothing happened, but Mizuki couldn't stop thinking about it, because the truth was something did happen. And what happened that night had been plaguing her thoughts ever since. The thing that confused her most was she wasn't the one who caused the glorious scene on the balcony to play out. No. It was him, the one man she pegged to be off bounds, her boss, Sesshomaru. Mizuki had so many mixed feelings about it; she wanted to punch the man in the face for his smugness and at the same time jump his bones and kiss him senseless.
She spent a great deal of time, blaming the situation on herself, thinking she had made her crush on Sesshomaru too obvious. Truth was, no one had known of Mizuki's secret crush, the only reason her friends, Kagome and Sango knew was because she had gone on so many rants about how sweet and kind he was when talking about his daughter Rin, but now she decided he was to blame, who was he to know she had ever felt anything romantic towards him.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
Mizuki found it doesn't take much to lose your job. Storming into your boss's office to yell at him is definitely one way to get fired, although that wasn't the case for Mizuki. She stormed into Sesshomaru's office about two weeks after the party, finally getting the nerve to say something and the jerked kissed her.
Right in the middle of Mizuki's sentence telling him she wanted to punch the smirk off his, the secretary found his lips her roughly abusing hers, and soon Sesshomaru was nibbling at her for entrance. This was when Mizuki came to her senses; she slapped the CEO's face and began walking out of his office. Before she closed the door, Mizuki looked at Sesshomaru from the corner of her eye and told him she quit.
One things for sure, she definitely do not settle the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
All the past events with her former boss had been toying with Mizuki's emotions. He went from being the picture perfect man to a complete asshole after just one kiss. Never in a million years would Mizuki think falling in love could hurt so much. Sesshomaru probably didn't even love her back, he most likely sees her as another woman he could easily throw away at any given moment, but if he did love- not even love- like her, Mizuki had messed everything up and now she would most likely never see him again.
"You did what?" gasped Kagome.
"I went into his office, yelled at him, he kissed me again, I slapped him and told him I quit before walking… out… of … his office?" said Mizuki ended her sentence as if it were a question.
"Wait! Again?" Sango asked as she took a sip of her hot coffee. The three friends, we in a small café a few blocks down from the Taishō corporations three days after Mizuki quit.
"Did I say again?" Mizuki asked. "I meant…"
"Mizuki… you are a horrible liar, we all know it." Sango gave her a pointed look.
"Okay, okay, at the company party, when I went out onto the balcony, he came out to get away from Kagura, I argued with him and he kissed me and left me," confessed the confused woman.
"Ironic how both times he kissed you, you were somehow arguing or getting mad at him," Sango laughed.
"Sango!" cried Kagome, as Sango looked at her in fear.
"But that was a pretty jerk move, even for him," Sango commented again.
"Inuyasha said his brother has been acting down the past few days maybe this has something to do with it," reasoned Kagome.
"I highly doubt it, Kagome," Mizuki said looking at the young woman. "It probably has something to do with not making a deal with another company."
"I still think it has to do with what happened between you two. How do you know he doesn't feel the same way for you as you feel for him?"
"I don't think he would act the way he did," Mizuki said glaring at her coffee cup.
"Maybe he's acting like that because he doesn't know how else to act! Lets face it the man has only been with woman who want him for his money, and leave once they find out about Rin, you were up until a few days ago the only consistent woman in his life who actually accept him for having a daughter, and didn't see him as someone with lots of money," explained Sango getting frustrated with her friend, as Mizuki just kept all her attention on the mug in her hands. "And now you might never see him again."
"I could live with that, because then it would give me a chance to get over him."
"Well, she'd have to see him at my wedding," said Kagome as she smirked at Sango, secretly planning something.
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong.
Mizuki was starting to reconsider her friend making skills. Not only did Kagome and Sango fail to mention she had to make a speech at the formers wedding but they also failed to mention she would be walking down the isle with non other then the man who was causing her hell, Sesshomaru. Mizuki was beginning to think they were planning this all along, it wasn't until the dress fitting did she find out both details, her two best friends 'forgot' to mention.
Right now all Mizuki could think about as she tried to write a last minute speech was why did Inuyasha have to make amends with his half brother. Her whole life would have been easier. If Inuyasha hadn't made amends with Sesshomaru during collage, she wouldn't have ended up working for his company, she wouldn't have found herself falling in love with her boss, nothing would have happened to lead her to quitting her job and she wouldn't have to worry about finding another job with as good as pay as that to pay her rent.
"Ugh," Mizuki voiced her frustration out loud and sighing. "Even when I am trying to do something for a friend, my thoughts always trail back to him. And every time I think of him it gets harder and harder to want to forget about him and just move on."
"I guess I'm not going to get over him anytime soon," Mizuki sighed again before going back to trying to write the speech for three days time.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
"Have you seen him yet?" asked Sango harassing Mizuki as she walked into Kagome's change room.
"No… I just got here," replied Mizuki raising an eyebrow.
Sango widened her eyes as she looked over her friend. "You better get your dress on before Kags sees you, she's been stressing out all morning and seeing you not dressed and ready might make her freak out…" Sango tried to warn Mizuki but it was too late, Kagome walked out of her restroom and let out a shriek.
"Mizuki, where have you been? You were supposed to be here two hours ago! And you aren't even ready, why is this day going so wrong," as Kagome finished speaking she broke into sobs.
"Oh, no no no, me being late isn't going to ruin your wedding, it's my fault I had to pick up my shoes and then I forgot my speech at home! But everything is fine Kagome; nothing is going to ruin your wedding day!" said Mizuki rubbing Kagome's back as she comforted her.
"Come on Miz, go get dressed and then you can help the flower girl get ready," said Sango pushing Mizuki into the restroom.
As Mizuki stripped down and began to get changed, she heard the door of the room open and close and then a little girl's cheerful voice. "Auntie 'Gome!"
"Rin" Mizuki heard Kagome giggle, most likely hugging the owner of the voice.
Rin? Mouthed Mizuki, Sesshomaru's daughter?
"Auntie 'Gome you should see Uncle 'Yasha, he looks really handsome, Daddy wasn't lying when he said it cleaned up good."
Mizuki heard Kagome laugh at the young girl again and replied. "Oh does he now? I can't wait to see him."
Before the conversation could continue, Mizuki walked out of the restroom, and heard the three people in the room gasp.
"Mizuki, you look…" began both Kagome and Sango but were interrupted by the little girl running up and hugging the stranger.
"You look really pretty," the little girl said smiling up at her. The smile on the girls face melted Mizuki's heart, no matter how mad she was at this child's father; Mizuki found herself forgetting about both incidents.
"Mizuki, this is Rin, Sesshomaru's daughter! Rin this is Mizuki, a friend of mine and Inuyasha's." said Kagome introducing the two.
"Mizuki…" said Rin confused before her face lit up. "You're my Daddy's secretary!"
Mizuki cringed on the inside and smiled at Rin. "Yes… well, I was."
"Oh," was Rin's disappointed reply.
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
After Mizuki helped Rin into her flower girl dress and did her hair, Sango took her to get something non messy to eat before the ceremony, leaving Kagome and Mizuki in the room.
"I don't know how to feel right now. Do I hate him or do I love him?" Mizuki sighed to herself as she put on her make-up forgetting Kagome was still in the room.
"Can I tell you something Mizuki?" asked Kagome, startling said woman. Mizuki turned around and nodded her head. "You remember how Inuyasha and I first met right?"
"Yea… I introduced you two after graduation," said Mizuki confused to where this was going.
"Do you know Inuyasha ex, Kikyo?"
"Kinky hoe? The one everyone thought you guys looked alike… you really didn't."
"Well mine, and Inuyasha's relationship was horrible at the start, when Kikyo found out about us, she tried taking him back, and the worst part was, when we fought or anything he'd go off with her," said Kagome, holding back a frown.
"Kagome, this isn't really something to talk about on your wedding day," Mizuki said rapping her arms around the bride to be.
"No its all right," chuckled Kagome, "So, one day I confronted him, long after it was over and he told me, I may have been with her, but the only thing on my mind and in my heart was you!"
"And you believed him?" Mizuki asked raising a brow.
Kagome laughed again. "That wasn't the only thing he said, he want on to call me stupid for thinking for even a second that he didn't love me."
Mizuki laughed along with Kagome. "Yea, now I believe you… but what brought this up?"
"Want to know the first thing Sesshomaru does, when he goes out with all those meaning less girls?"
No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me, thought the brides maid.
"He compares them to you!"
"How do you know this Kagome?"
"Because I over heard him tell Inuyasha and Miroku the other day, he said he doesn't see himself with anyone else but you."
Mizuki gave Kagome a pointed look. "What about the way he treated me?"
"He doesn't see you as one of the other women, he actually cares for you. Sesshomaru has kept it bottled up inside for so long he doesn't even know how to react around you! The moment he opened up to you about his daughter was the moment he gave you his heart."
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.
"The question is… do I want to let my heart win?"
A/N:
=D I decided this deserved another chapter; I couldn't let Sesshomaru get away with being an asshole!!!
Thank you for reading this wonderful chapter and I hope you enjoy it! I didn't use the whole song because I wanted to stop before the second chorus with that wonderful question because this song just repeats too many times… and hey, I guess I have to write another one now don't I?
