Mr. Wrong

Chapter Two

Naru sighed as she watched the clock idly as the seconds ticked by, her music playing in her ears, drowning out the sounds of the students catering around her. A sudden poke in the ribs made her jolt ant she turned to her left slightly as her best friend Hotaru came into her line of vision.

Pulling her headphone out, she irked a brow at the young woman, "What is it, Hotaru?"

"You're not going to believe this," Hotaru chimed happily as she slapped the magazine she held in her hands down on the desk. Naru's eyes widened when she saw the photograph of the man on the page, "That beautiful man, Sesshomaru Takahashi just moved into that penthouse downtown. When they asked why he decided to move to the very bland state of Colorado, he just said it was time for a new change in his life and he was starting a new branch to his multi-billion dollar company here."

Naru sighed as she stared longingly at the photo of the silver haired, golden eyed man, Father. Is there an alter motive to you moving here? Do you know about Haru and me? Or are you searching for Mother?

Yes, she knew exactly who he was. Two years prior, right after their 15th birthday, she and her brother sat their mother down and asked why they never knew about their father. Rin had seemed reluctant to tell them at first but in the end conceded into telling them. It had broken Naru's heart when she learned that her father had wanted her mother to abort her and her brother but, she had forgiven him. He was – after all – the reason she and her brother were given to her mother.

Have you changed over the years, Naru wondered, If you have learned about me and Haru would you want to be in our lives? Would you want to become a real family?

"You know Naru," Hotaru said breaking through the silver haired girl's reverie, "You and Haru could pass for his children. You both look just like him; you more than Haru."

Naru laughed uneasily about her friend's statement, if only you knew, "No way. Yeah I share his last name but it's common. There's no way in hell that man could be my father. Besides my mother can't stand him, she calls him arrogant and evil." Yeah right, Mom loves him more than life itself even if she won't say it.

"Are you sure Naru," Hotaru teased, "You could be his carbon copy."

"Uh huh, yeah, I doubt it," Naru said rolling her golden eyes.

Hotaru just laughed before returning her attention to the magazine, "Do you think we'd be able to meet him since he lives in this state now? Hey, how about we go downtown and walk around. We're bound to run into him eventually!"

"Hotaru really," Naru asked as she slung her headphone in the air, twisting it around her clawed finger.

"Yes really girl," Hotaru said, "We can't pass up this opportunity!"

"Oh yes we can," Naru said letting her head rest in the palm of her hand, "You know he wouldn't like girls our age right? The man's at least forty seven!" He's actually thirty nine, a Virgo.

"But he looks twenty," Hotaru countered.

Naru merely rolled her eyes before sticking her headphone back in her ear. My best friend has some serious issues she needs to sort out. But still… if I go see Father, or run into him by chance, that may put Mother in danger and I don't want that. I couldn't live with myself if I were the cause of something bad happening to her.

…

"So Haru, are you doing anything after school today?" a dark haired boy asked as he threw the football to the silver haired young man.

"Nope," Haru said catching the ball carefully in his clawed fingers. "My mom's picking me up after school, why you have something in mind, Hayate?"

"Well me and the guys were thinking about heading downtown after school and catching a movie or something," Hayate answered. "Are you down to go?"

"I'd have to talk to my mom about it but I don't see why not," Haru answered as he threw the ball back to Hayate who readied himself to pass again. "I'll give you the verdict at lunch."

"Cool," Hayate said before throwing another pass to Haru. "Anyways, did you hear about that billionaire that just moved into that penthouse downtown?"

"Who," Haru asked, completely confused.

"Sesshomaru Takahashi," Hayate said making Haru tense suddenly, "Hey you okay man? You got real tense all of a sudden when I said his name. Bad memories?"

Haru cleared his throat slightly, throwing the ball back to his friend, "You could say that."

"Anything I should be concerned about," Hayate asked irking a brow.

"Nah man it's cool," Haru said waving it off, "So what about this guy? Why would he pick Colorado of all places to stay in? Nothing interesting ever happens here."

"That's what I said but I guess he moved here because he's starting a new branch in his company downtown," Hayate said throwing the ball once more. "Like he needs another one, the guy already has like thirty in different countries."

"Money hungry maybe?" Haru offered with a shrug.

"Maybe but whatever, let the guy do what he wants," Hayate said catching the ball that was coming his way. "It's not like it's really gonna affect us."

"Yeah," Haru agreed. It won't affect you but it could affect me.

…

"Sesshomaru," Rin whispered as she stared up at the man that stood before her.

"Rin," Sesshomaru countered, irking a brow at the woman, "Is that really you? It's been a long time, eighteen years if you wish to be exact. You ran out in the middle of the night after our disagreement."

"Yeah," Rin said looking off to the side as she bit her lip. She didn't know what to do. It had been almost a full eighteen years since she last saw him and now here she was standing before him and he looked as dashing as ever leaving her confused about what to do.

"How have you been," Sesshomaru asked a bit uneasy. He was standing in front of the woman that left him so many years ago after he told her to abort the child she had been pregnant with. I wonder if she actually did get rid of it? Then again knowing her, she didn't and it's running around here somewhere.

"I've been fine," Rin answered after swallowing the lump in her throat, "Just fine."

"I see," he said reaching up to adjust his tie, "Well, it was... interesting running into you but I must be going. Do try to watch where you're going next time."

"Of course," she whispered as she watched him walk away.

She watched him walk away before sighing and turning just in time to see Sango running over to her.

"Rin, my goodness it's been so long!" Sango said as she pulled her best friend into a hug. "You look fabulous! How are the twins, how are my little Haru and Naru?"

Neither woman was aware that Sesshomaru was in earshot still. As soon as he heard the names, he stopped and looked back at Rin who was happily chatting with Sango as they walked away.

Twins, he thought watching as she moved through the crowded sidewalks.

He clenched his jaw in irritation. Damn that woman for disobeying him. He should have pursued her like he intended to in the beginning and force her to abort the bastards. Now there were two of them running around with his blood running through their veins. It was bad enough his father had let that bastard half-breed Inuyasha live but now he had to deal with the same thing.

I'll just have to kill them myself, Sesshomaru thought before turning and walking away.
