SAVING ME
CHAPTER 9 – PARENTS (2)
Inutaisho Takahashi sat at his desk in quiet reflection, peering out at the numerous buildings below from the windows of his office on the top floor of the massive skyscraper which acted as his headquarters. And even though there was numerous work which regarded the attention of the Billionaire CEO, his mind could not help but to wonder on his eldest son. He sighed; Sesshomaru had been such a different man, not too long ago. He had been vice President of the company and had been about to take over but it seemed that was decades ago.
Inutaisho looked to his door as the knob turned, frowning, only his other son Inuyasha was rude enough to walk into his office. He had hoped for his youngest son to take over the company but in six years at the Company Inuyasha had yet to show the potential to be promoted pass Managerial position. "Dad, I have some reports that need your signature." said Inuyasha dropping a stack of folder on the desk. He frowned as he saw the look of concern on his father's face, knowing there could be but one explanation for it. "We're all worried about him dad, he'll come back…one day." He said softly and Inutaisho sighed then smiled softly.
A sudden knock to the door had both men turning as they saw Hajime Souto enter the Office. InuTaisho frowned, looking at his business partner and eldest friend. His friend had aged greatly in the last two decades; he seemed far older than his sixty-five years. "Taisho," he started in his deep formal voice. "Inform the rest of the Board that as of today I will be on Emergency Family Leave." He said and Inutaisho frowned, for his friend had no family save for his estranged daughter, Ai. Seeing one conclusion, he asked, "Ai then?" and the man nodded before leaving the office. Inutaisho sank to his seat with a weary sigh.
"I thought he hasn't spoken to or of Ai in twenty years!" said Inuyasha.
"He hasn't." InuTaisho conformed and feeling the sudden urge to speak to Sesshomaru, he picked up the phone and dialed the number for the Apartment he knew his son preferred. The phone rang a number of times and just as Inutaisho was about to hang up it was answered. Expecting his son's voice, as Sesshomaru had been in isolation for almost two years he launched into his tirade. "Sesshomaru, do you think it is right for you to call your father! It's been three months, I thought you had killed yourself!" he shouted, forgetting his resolve to merely question his son on his health and progress. However, he was met with silence from the other end of the line.
"Uhm, Sesshomaru isn't here right now…" came the soft, husky voice of a female. Inutaisho's eyes widened.
"W-who is this?" he asked and he was once against met with silence before the phone was slammed back on the hook.
InuTaisho looked to his younger son, "Get the pilot! We're gonna see Sesshomaru."
