A/N: I don't own anything!

[Warning] There are some swear words but I felt if I took them out it wouldn't feel like Sesshomaru! Just a heads up ;)

((Sesshomaru POV))

He despised these functions.

As he made his way to the entrance of the building, loosening the tie of his suit, he felt like he could breath once more. Surprisingly the only other time he felt that way was when he was in the presence of that female...Rin.

Having to deal with all the social shit, and parties for the betterment of the company was taxing. If the business side of these social thing weren't bad enough, there were also the females that threw themselves at him. Hoping to snare a very rich and powerful Lord and become his wife and mate.

Pathetic.

At least he wouldn't have to worry about that part for long. His father had made sure of that when he made the contract with the Higurashi family.

He told him his fate right after Lord Tashio had found his wife to be, and was preparing the contract. The Taisho family was one of the wealthiest and strongest dayoukai families that headed a powerful company and empire.

Humans were more likely to do business with them not only because of the superior business ethics but also because his father was mated to a human. As the years went on, the humans realized that once Lord Tashio retired or in the very distant future passed on, Sesshomaru would be his successor.

Big fucking surprise. He liked humans as much as the gum that stuck on the bottom of his expensive boots when he least expected it. Maybe even less.

So his father came up with a solution, find a mate on his own or he would find a wife for him.

Oh, he did look and try. Almost thought he had found an acceptable demoness, but they all had turned out lacking in some way. They either annoyed him, bothered him, were dull, had idiotic ideas or just couldn't stand to be by them. They reminded him of the crown imperial flowers. They were beautiful to look at but get too close and they have a foul smell you can't stand.

As the years passed, he began to believe that his father had forgotten about that nonsensical ultimatum he had given him. Little did he know was that Lord Tashio had also been searching.

At first he had been furious.

A human. As his wife was unacceptable.

It had taken him a year of contemplation, when he finally accepted that this was a better outcome.

He wouldn't be obligated to claim her as his mate, because in reality he didn't trust nor believe anyone could hold an equal footing with him. All the hopeful families would finally leave him in peace, and by having a human as his wife it would allow for business to run more smoothly with the human investors. He also trusted his father to arrange for his betrothed to be more than a self-absorbed, money hungry airhead.

"Your vehicle is right over there my Lord. Ready and waiting."

He was pulled out of his musings, as he walked outside of the building.

He ignored the man and went where his driver stood waiting with the car. Got inside and continued on his thoughts.

The first time he had seen his future family it wasn't a formal introduction, he was simply stopping by the Tashio mansion as he had just gotten back from a business trip and was dropping off some documents to his father. He didn't even realize it was Christmas day until he heard the guests in the main hall, enjoying the Christmas party Lady Izayoi put together every year.

Curiosity had him approaching the entrance when he heard his father's laughter. Lord Tashio only laughed with his mate and family or before a kill.

Instead of finding a helpless soul quivering in fear. It was a little girl who was climbing onto the Tashio's lap. He waved off the lady who tried to get human girl off. While another older human girl stood by her side. He was disgusted to witness how the older human girl started in open excitement and awe as she was introduced to his hanyou brother.

The little girl was enthusiastically telling his father the factual reasons why dog daiyokai were the "best". Tashio looked on impressed as she made her case as well as engaging those around her. Sesshomaru found his curiosity was caught by her, but left before he was dragged into receiving people at the party. The one name that he had caught was Higurashi.

The Higurashi name was an old one, that was once prosperous among the humans in the old days. Which is why his father sought them out as a great family addition.

Thinking back to today's events only angered him more. He was rarely surprised, but the revelation of what that female...Rin... said to him wasn't what he expected. Ever since his father had mentioned the name of the family that held his future bride, he had assumed it was Rin since her cousin was infatuated with his hanyou brother.

When he sensed that she was following him, his mind calculated the reasons behind it. He assumed that she wanted to break their contract and offer her cousin in her place.

Hm.

He was already annoyed with having to converse with the people at the event and now add another complication. His anger was at the edge and the female was its target. He planned to frighten her into submission and acceptance to the contract. He was about to leave her with the satisfaction of keeping their contract intact, when she offers herself to him.

Now that was a surprise.

Sesshomaru shook his head in disgust. He was able to cover up his confusion to her outburst, and continue the conversation.

What he really wanted to do right now was kill the idiots who informed the Higurashi family that he desired the hanyou's female. The meeting that had taken place do decide on the marital contract had stated it would be with the adoptive daughter.

He should fire his whole legal team for their incompetence and stupidity.

As his car started to pull away, Sesshomaru pulled out his cell phone and dialed Jaken.

"Get my assistant and lawyer. You will take them to the Higurashi residence and explain the contract to my future bride. Make sure to leave them a copy."

"Yes My Lord. I will contact Kagome Hirugashi and her mother first thing tomorrow and set everything up. You—"

He froze when he heard the name.

Maybe I should punish Jaken in front of the legal team as an example for not following directions.

"Jaken. Read to me page one, paragraph two of my martial contract."

"Right away. It states 'The parties involved and hereby agree to become united in marriage are one Sesshomaru Tashio and one... Um..."

"Yes?"

"...Rin..Hirugashi..?"

"Now get my assistant and lawyer to contact her and explain the contract. Leave her the copy."

"Yes My Lord! I will tell Kago... I mean—"

"Rin." Sesshomaru growled. If only Jaken was right next to him, he could give him a good thrashing. Sesshomaru hated incompetence, and Jaken was only wasting his time with excessive questions.

"Of course My Lord!I'm so sorry for the mistake! Is there anything else you will be needing?"

"Just see it done."

Snapping the cell shut and slipping it in his suit, Sesshomaru now had to wait. In less than two months he would have a wife.

Funny, that thought didn't disgust him anymore.
