SAVING ME

CHAPTER 31 – The children of Rich Men

InuTaisho, Hajime and Sango sat stoically looking at the group of eight, a band of mercenaries they had contacted and flown in from Europe. They were allegedly the best Assassins in the 'Underworld' and had been for a while. For men such as InuTaisho and Hajime, it had been a simple thing of money in order to track and assemble the group which had been dissembled due to their dangerous abilities when together.

They called themselves the Band of Seven and though they charged an in exorbitant fee, such money was less than a percentage of the InuTaisho's true wealth. It had taken them a little over a month to get to this state, where the men were now in Japan, after Hajime and InuTaisho had come together in order to find Sesshomaru along with Sango, in order to protect him from those who sought to hurt him. Even though, InuTaisho himself had already offered an eighty million yen reward the head of the man who had put a bounty on his son. He snorted in anger at the thought of some low life scum, putting a hit out on his son, HIS SON!

Based on Sango's findings, they had traced Sesshomaru to the country before they had lost him, but it was evident that if they found Sesshomaru, they would find Rin and it was as such, Hajime and InuTaisho had wholeheartedly joined forces in the search for their legacies.

"I'm sure that this is all tied up with Rin somehow…" said Sango softly and the elders nodded, returning to briefing the seven men of what was expected of them.

Ai Kano watched her husband with speculative eyes. He had never truly acted as a parent would when Rin had gone missing and she noted that now. She eyed him over the rim of her tea cup as he surveyed his paper, to this day she did not know what had happened to her daughter save for the fact that Kohaku had been murdered and Rin was on the run, and probably now in her second trimester of pregnancy.

Other the last few months, her emotions had built and built, how could he just act as though nothing had happened? As though their daughter wasn't out there, missing?

She rose slamming her hands upon the table, making the cups and cutleries rattle. Her husband looked up at her and frowned.

"I want to know what you did to Rin…and I want to know how you got back that money after you gambled it all always, I want to know right now!" she demanded and watched as his eyes widened.

She watched as her husband's jaw clench, before he lowered the paper and sighed but his eyes never left her own.

"I sold her virginity…I sold her to a Yazuka lord for a night…"

There was silence. But Ai could hear her heart crack.

I sold her virginity…I sold her to a Yazuka lord for a night…I sold her virginity…I sold her to a Yazuka lord for a night…I sold her virginity…I sold her to a Yazuka lord for a night…I sold her virginity…I sold her to a Yazuka lord for a night…The played over in her head, again and again.

Hajime picked up his phone on the second ring, it was his personal line. Only about five people knew the number, InuTaisho and family being three of those five, his personal secretary and Ai.

"Ai?" he answered when he heard the sobs at the other end of the line.

"I don't know what to do daddy…I killed him. I killed my husband…." Ai sobbed from the other line, "He sold my baby daddy…he sold her…" she sobbed over and over and Hajime felt his heart clench.

"It's ok Ai, daddy will take care of it."
