Chapter8: Fairy Tales Do Come True
The morning was cold with light snow falling, Kagome awoke to the feeling of cold and looked next to her. She did not see Sesshomaru anywhere. Kagome smiled and stretched as she remembered what today was. Today was January 25th, Kagome's birthday. She was turning 24 today and was excited about everything. She was sure there was going to be a huge surprise waiting for her downstairs knowing Sesshomaru. He always did big things for special occasions.
Kagome got up and put on some flannel pajama pants and a matching shirt and she slipped on her fuzzy purple robe and slippers. She then shuffled out of the room and down the stairs, but something was odd. She didn't hear anything that would indicate some special. As she came down the stairs a couple of the maids were coming up, they quickly bowed and said a quick good morning and happy birthday before scurrying off to do their daily duties. Kagome then walked into the dining room expecting to see Sesshomaru there with a present or a card, but when she walked in she didn't see anyone. She frowned and sat down hoping that Sesshomaru would come down soon.
As she sat waiting Suki saw her and came out to pour her some coffee. "What's wrong my lady?" She asked topping off the coffee. "Sesshomaru isn't here to wish me a happy birthday. Is he in his study again?" She asked putting some milk and sugar in her coffee. "No my lady he had to uh..go into the office earlier this morning." She said trying to think of something fast. "Why, he knows today is special to me." She said. "Someone broke into the company last night and stole some very important documents and he is still there with the police and investigators. My lord informed me this morning that he won't be home most likely until after dinner." She said. "Did he wish me a happy birthday?" She asked hopefully. "No my lady he didn't. Is it possible that our lord forgot because of all the trouble?" She asked. "I suppose, but still that makes me upset." She said. "It's alright my lady I am sure he will remember soon. Would you like some birthday breakfast? Cook made it special just for you." She smiled.
Kagome smiled and nodded, Suki then brought out chocolate chip pancakes, with sausage and strawberries. "Wow this looks great." Kagome beamed. She immediately dug in,
Wow this is good. Give cook my compliments." She smiled finishing off the last of her pancakes. Suki bowed and left. After Kagome was done she decided to call Sesshomaru to see how things were fairing with the investigation and maybe get an estimate on when he'd be home.
Kagome climbed the stairs to their room and went to get the cordless phone. Once that was in hand she dialed the number directly to his desk.
Sesshomaru was directing the interior decorator on how he wanted everything for the event. This had to be perfect in order for Kagome not to be mad. The Dj was in the corner getting his stuff set up as well. "Yes I want those curtains hung here and here." Sesshomaru said. The designer nodded and went about his work.
Sesshomaru sighed and then heard his office phone ring. ' I thought I told no one to bother me.' He thought as he went to pick up the phone. "Tashio." He said. "Hey Sessh. How is the investigation going?" Kagome asked. "The what?" He asked. "The investigation because someone broke into the company and stole some important files? Are you still with the police?" She asked. "Oh yes, yes I am. They haven't found any clues yet to know did it. But I am about to go into a meeting with the vice president and a few of the department heads so now is not a good time to talk." He said. "But…" She said but was cut off. "I will be home much later. I will call you when I can." He said and hung up the phone. Sesshomaru sighed, 'That was close, I'll have to reward Suki for her brilliant story though.' He thought. "Sir what kind of music do you want?" The DJ asked. "Something with a catch, something we can dance to and also throw in some slow songs. This is for my fiancée's birthday and it had to be perfect. I will be back soon, if you have any questions please ask my good friend Ryu." Sesshomaru said leaving.
Sesshomaru drove down to his exotic car dealer to pick out the car Kagome has always wanted. Once there he stepped out of his car and walked into the dealership. When he stepped in everyone greeted him since they knew he was a great client seeing that was where he bought his car from. "Sesshomaru my friend, how have you been?" A rather tall demon said. "Very good Hatchi and you?" He asked. "Very well, business is booming. All the American's want my cars haha." He laughed. "I see, you do have great cars." Sesshomaru said. "That I do my friend, that I do. So What can I do for you?" Hachi asked. "I have come here to get my fiancée a car. The car she wants is the new 2012 Italia Spyder from Ferrari, I'd like it fully loaded, black leather and candy apple red. Do you have it?" Sesshomaru asked. "As a matter of fact my friend I just got one in two days ago. Some guy was going to buy it but never showed up. If you want it you better take it now." Hatchi said. "Very well, give me the papers to sign and I'll give you the check. Have the car delivered to my company downtown with a big blue bow on it. Place it in the parking deck beside my car please." Sesshomaru said. "Of course." Hachi said.
So Sesshomaru signed the papers he needed to and then he gave Hatchi the check for the car. "Nice doing business with you as always Sesshomaru." Hatchi smiled. "Anytime, be sure the car is there before 6 p.m. tonight." Sesshomaru said. "Of course." He said, Sesshomaru then left to go back to the office to see how things were doing.
When he got back the entire floor looked amazing. Sesshomaru had decided to do a snow wonderland theme and it looked wonderful. Everything was set and ready to go, the only thing missing was the catering. Sesshomaru looked at his watch and saw they were a half hour late. He then picked up his cell phone and called the company. "Yuka's catering how may I help you?" The woman said. "I paid for catering for a birthday and you people are a half hour late. I surly cannot serve my guests nothing now can I?" He asked a little angered. "I am so sorry sir, what is your name and I will go see what is keeping them." The woman asked. "Sesshomaru Tashio." He said. At the mention of his name the woman got all nervous. "H…Hold on…o…one minute sir." She said and put the phone down.
The girl ran back into the back to see all of the employees working. "Who is doing the Tashio party?" She asked frantically. Everyone looked at her, "Uh, the Tashio party isn't until tomorrow the 25th." One baker said. At that moment the woman's eyes went wide, "NO you idiots today is the 25th! Mr. Tashio is on the phone at the front demanding her know where his food is. You're over a half hour late. Now you tell me you have no food to serve to him? What am I supposed to say to him? This man could kill me if he wanted to." The woman panicked. "Calm down Inka, just tell Mr. Tashio to reschedule his party for tomorrow." The baker said. "Oh hell no, if you want to tell him then be my guest. I am not losing my job because of that." The woman yelled. "Fine I'll do it myself." The baker sid.
So the baker went to the front and picked up the phone. "Mr. Tashio this is Rei, I am the head backer/ Chef." He said. "Why is my food late? I put this order in a month ago." Sesshomaru said getting annoyed. "Well sir, we need you to reschedule your party for tomorrow because someone messed up the days. They thought tomorrow was your party and we can't get out there until tomorrow." He said. That did it Sesshomaru became pissed. "Excuse me, did you just tell this Sesshomaru to reschedule his party for tomorrow just because some lazy fuck ups don't know how to do their jobs? You listen and you listen good, I will make sure your company goes out of business soon. How dare you tell me to reschedule, I'll have you know this party is for my fiancée, it's supposed to be perfect and because of your company it's not." Sesshomaru growled into the phone. Rei was not scared at all, "Mr. Tashio please don't make empty threats, no one here is afraid of you, well except Kay who was on the phone earlier, but she's afraid of everyone." He laughed. "At least she's smart. Just you wait, you won't last much longer." Sesshomaru sneered and hung up.
Now he had to try and find some place that could cater at short notice. He then decided to call his favorite Italian place. "Mi Amor Restaurant how may I help you?" A man asked. "Is this Pier?" Sesshomaru asked. "Wi, I am Pier, may I ask who's calling?" He asked. "Pier it's me Sesshomaru." He said. "Sesshomaru my friend, what can I do for you?" He asked. "The last catering business I had just canceled on me, I need something fast. This is for my fiancée's birthday and I need it to be perfect. Can you help me?" Sesshomaru asked. "Wi, Sesshomaru. I will put together the best food you have ever tasted. How many are we feeding?" He asked. "Only about 80 guests, and I need the food in 3 hours." He said. "No problem, we will do it. I will put a hold on everything else. See you in three hours my friend." Pier said. "Thanks, I owe you." Sesshomaru said. "None sense. Alright see you then." He said. "Right." He said and they both hung up. After that Sesshomaru called the catering company he was trying to use and asked for the manager. "This is Izatchi how can I help you?" He said. "I want to buy your business." Sesshomaru said. "Hu, Who is this?" Izatchi asked. "Tashio, Sesshomaru." He said. "Mr. Tashio, you want to buy my catering business?" He asked. "Yes, I think I have some friend who would love to run it. Now what is your selling price?" He asked. "W…Well I want 1 million for it." He said scared the price was too high for Sesshomaru. "Done." Sesshomaru said. "What. Are you serious?" He asked. "Yes, I will have a check sent over to you in a few hours. You can leave your staff to me. Enjoy your money." He smirked on the phone. "S…Sure, thanks so much Mr. Tashio." He said. "Pleasure's all mine." Sesshomaru said coolly.
After that Sesshomaru called the business back and Rei answered. "Hello?" He asked. "Listen here you little ingrate put me on speaker so everyone can hear me." He growled. Rei put the phone on speaker as everyone gathered round. "Is everyone there?" Sesshomaru asked. "Yes." They all said. "Alright, as of now I am your new boss, and as your new boss I say you are all fired. Get your shit and get out of my store. I will make sure none of you ever work in food service again. I told you, you little pest you would regret talking to me the way you did. Now get out." He said.
Everyone was shocked and upset that they were fired and had no chance in hell of ever working in food again, all because Rei decided to run his big mouth to the most powerful man in Japan. So they all gathered their things and returned home while Sesshomaru had some of his people go close down the store and lock it up until he knew what to do with it.
Back with Kagome, she was upset that Sesshomaru had hung up on her, even after 2 hours she was still pissed. So Kagome had opted to watch movies and have popcorn and relax since it was so cold outside. After the 5th movie was done Kagome looked at her watch to see it said 5:30 p.m. "This is B.S. he should be done by now." Kagome whined. Just as she said that her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was Sesshomaru. She smiled and answered it, "Hello?" She asked. "Kagome, I wanted to apologize for hanging up on you. The meeting was about to start and some of the other heads done like me taking phone calls during them. I hope you can forgive me." He said. Kagome smiled, "Yes Sesshomaru I forgive you, when are you coming home?" She asked. "In a few minutes, please get into something nice I am taking you somewhere nice for your birthday." He smiled into the phone.
Kagome gasped, "You remembered my birthday." She whispered. "Of course I did. I was just so busy I didn't get a chance to tell you happy birthday. Now go get dressed I am coming to get you." He said. "Ok see you in a bit." She said. "Ok." He said and they hung up. Kagome quickly went into her closet and found a floor length sparkly gown that was a tube top style. When she put it on it hugged her features like glove making her look even more sexy. She quickly did her hair and make- up.
Just as she was putting on the last touches of her make-up her cell phone rang again. She was it was Sesshomaru and picked it up, "Hello?" She asked. "Kagome, I am going to need you to have Izaki take you to my office. My car won't start." He said. "Oh alright. I'll tell him to bring the jumper cables then too." She said. "Alright, see you in a bit." He said. "Ok." She said and hung up.
Kagome slipped her heels on and went downstairs and told Izaki what had happened and he got the jumper cables and put them in the trunk. Kagome slipped on her mink coat, gloves and ear muffs and got into the limo. The ride was silent all the way there, and once there Kagome thanked Izaki and told him to go wait in the parking garage. He nodded and drove off. Kagome went into the office building and got into the elevator.
On the top floor all of the guests were waiting in the darkness. They saw the elevator was now coming up and knew Kagome was on her way up. She had no idea that this was a surprise party for her. "Alright everyone when she steps out yell surprise." Ms. Higarashi said.
When the elevator stopped on that floor it opened up and Kagome walked out only to be scared out of her wits as everyone jumped out and yelled Surprise. "Oh my god! Are you people trying to kill me?" She laughed. "No, we just want to wish you a happy birthday Kagome." Sesshomaru said. Kagome turned to him, "So you mean no one broke into the company?" She asked. "No, it was just something to keep you from coming here and ruining your surprise. I wanted it to be perfect and I hope it is to you." He smiled kissing her cheek. "It is, this is all a dream come true for me. I couldn't ask for a better man." She smiled up at him.
So everyone wished her a happy birthday and they partied for a few hours, had food and then cake. Then came Kagome's favorite part, opening presents. Kagome had opened everyone's gifts and had gotten some great things, but she had noticed she had not gotten one from Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru where is my present from you?" She asked. "I left mine for last because it's the best one yet. Come." He said. She stood and walked in front of him. Sesshomaru pulled out a blind fold and placed it over her eyes. "Hey, what's with the blind fold?" She asked. "I don't want you spoiling the surprise. I will lead you." He said.
So everyone walked outside into the parking deck. Sesshomaru had then place Kagome in front of him. "Ok on the count of three I want you to take off the blind fold. One, two, three." He said. Kagome took the blind fold off and when she did she nearly died of a heart attack, because right in front of her was the Ferrari she had wanted. "OH THANK YOU THANK YOU SESSHOMARU IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" She said as she launched herself into his arms. "You are welcome koi." He said as he handed her the keys.
After the party Kagome checked out her car and got used to the interior. After Sesshomaru felt she was comfortable enough with it they decided to drive home in their cars.
In bed that night Kagome smiled knowing she had everything she had ever wanted in her life, well most everything. The only things left were to finally be Sesshomaru's mate and to have pups. Other than those two things she had everything she could ever want.
