Close Your Eyes: Chapter 1

By: Scarlet_fears

 

Club life, yes it was thrilling for eccentric life of Japan's fastest, most accomplished entrepreneur. Not just any entrepreneur, a single one at that. He never settled for anything less than extravagant. Although he knew the risks of his actions, he also knew that he could get away with murder and that would never stop him. Most believed he was unafraid, unafraid of the consequences that would later come as a result of his carelessness. They were wrong; a man as great as he did not fear something so trivial. He worried. He worried if he woke up in the morning with no one there to forever etch into his memory. He cared nothing of their feelings. Whoever it was, she would be just another number under his belt. He was the type of man to never go out with the same woman twice. Well, there was one woman…

 

“Look! It's Sesshoumaru Taisho!” one girl screeched to her companion while trying to look unfazed. The lights were swerving across the obnoxiously loud club. It was opening night, and only the most important people had access to it. All eyes seemed to turn when he walked in. Whispering was heard among the crowd, some giggling, some were sounds of desperate want and need, and most were at a loss for words. “Mhmm, I would love a bite of that piece of heaven”

 

He strode to the dance floor as soon as he got there and had no obvious struggle getting a woman to dance with him. He smirked slightly at the girl he was dancing with. She looked no more than sixteen years old. Apparently she had connections to be in a place such as this one, but he didn't mind. The way she danced couldn't justify her age.

 

“A bite? That is ridiculous. You'd be lucky if you had a taste of him.” stated a young man in his early twenties. His slick, black hair pulled back into a small ponytail at the nape of his neck. He smiled at the two young ladies enjoying their drink.

 

“Sesshoumaru would most likely play around with you, and kick you to the curb.” Still grinning at the ladies he continued, “On the other hand, I know how to treat a lady. One must treat ladies such as yourselves with respect, honesty, and the occasional…” his words faded as his hand slid down to cup one of the ladies backside giving it a firm squeeze.

 

“Hentai!” The sound of the slap delivered quickly dissolved into nothing due to the volume of music.

 

“There you are Miroku!” A woman sporting a high ponytail walked briskly to where he was standing. She was dressed in a denim skirt stopping mid-thigh and a green and gold tank top. “I've been looking for you everywhere!” her face flushed from the temperature of the room.

 

“Why, my dearest Sango, how did you find me?” his hands moving to grasp hers tightly as they walked to a nearby, reserved booth.

 

“I'd like to say that I searched everywhere for one as handsome as you,” she started sarcastically “but if you want the truth…all I had to do was follow the trail of bullshit.”

 

With his hands tugging at the location of his heart he feigned disbelief. “My love, you mar my dignity with your words.” Staring impassively at him he just laughed admitting defeat. “I admit, you see right through me.”

 

“It doesn't take a genius to do that.” came an amused voice. Sesshoumaru seated himself at the booth with his dance partner.

 

“Sesshoumaru, who is this lovely maiden that has graced us with her presence?” Miroku questioned. Sango rolled her eyes, Sesshoumaru heaved a large sigh, and the girl blushed mercilessly at the question.

 

“Her name is…” he thought about it for a while before coming to the realization that he had no idea who she was. It didn't matter to him who she was, but he didn't want to be rude. She might have told him her name. He wasn't one who listened observantly to acquaintances though. He looked to her to finish his sentence.

 

“Hisami, Arika” she finished his sentence. She was too flustered to be offended by Sesshoumaru's memory lapse. “Please, just call me Rika.” She continued fumbling with the hem of her barely there skirt.

 

Sesshoumaru curtly nodded at Sango acknowledging her presence. Miroku and Arika continued chatting with each other across the table. After a few more drinks, a couple of dances, another rubbing of a backside, and the sound of a reverberating slap, Sesshoumaru stood up and gathered his belongings. He invited Arika back to his apartment and asked Miroku and Sango if they would like to come too. They knew better than to take him up on his offer, he was just being polite.

 

“No thanks Sessh. I think I'm just going to drop Sango off at her place and go home. We have a meeting tomorrow morning, don't forget.” He said while paying for Sango and himself.

 

“First off, I do not like nicknames, second of all, this Sesshoumaru never forgets.” Slipping his arm around Arika's shoulder they left. Arika looked back waving goodbye to Miroku and Sango.

 

“Miroku, she is just a child.” Sango said as she waved back to Arika winking at her. “I wish Sesshoumaru would grow up and take things seriously. I mean, this is obviously not the first time he's slept with a minor. He's going to get himself into more trouble than he can dig out of.”

 

Opening the car door for Sango Miroku tried to dispel her worries. “It's none of our concern Sango. You know as well as I that he takes whatever steps are necessary to get what he wants.”

 

They drove out of the heart of the city to a more rural, quiet, area. Neither of them spoke, but rather they basked in the silence they had come to enjoy. “It doesn't make it right.” She said while yawning and closing her eyes. Miroku brushed away her bangs and genuinely smiled at the only woman who could make him feel special.

 

“Don't worry about it love, what goes around comes around.” She mumbled something; it sounded as though she agreed with him, and fell into a deep slumber.

The door of the apartment shut and he instantaneously pushed her against the wall ravishing her mouth with his. She barely had anytime to respond. She braced herself on his forearms as he gently bit down from the side of her neck to her collarbone. She mewled loudly wrapping her legs around his waist as she began to unbutton his shirt. He carried her off to his bedroom while managing to push her top up and over her head revealing her small, dainty, lace bra. It was obviously smaller than her cup size and made her bosom seem larger than it actually was.

 

They finally settled on the bed as she began fumbling with the button to his pants. While she was occupied with that he undid her bra, took off her skirt, and relieved her of her undergarments. He did this all with little effort. Soon they were both bare, and she blushed furiously as her eyes examined him from top to bottom. Her eyes widened as he asked “Is this your first time?”

 

She looked as though she was contemplating what to say. At last she slowly gave a small nod. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt that he would most likely never he her again, but it didn't lessen the situation. After thoroughly preparing her he slowly slid into her…and felt no barrier or resistance. She immediately responded and moved to her own beat.

 

`Virgin my ass.'

Sesshoumaru walked into Revolutionaire, one of the world's leading companies in management. The tall building blended in with the other skyscrapers of the city; its windows reflecting off the actions of those outside. The floors made of marble had the company's insignia engraved upon it tinted in gold. Towards the center of the building was a magnificent water fountain. It contained tropical colored koi, everyone who entered were entranced by its beauty.

 

The people stepped aside bowing their heads in respect as he pushed forward towards the elevator. The main lobby was flooded with people. The employees struggled to get where they were supposed to be and the clients waited impatiently waiting for assistance. Finally making his way to the elevator he stepped in and tried to ignore the smell of everyone around him. Just as the doors almost shut a small stout man squeezed his way in panting.

 

“Sesshoumaru-sama!” squealed the disorderly man, “Oh, I've been looking for you everywhere! You're later than usual and…” he stopped and noticed the glare he was receiving from his boss.

 

“Jaken, you are mistaken. As the head of this corporation, I can and will arrive when I want to.” His cold eyes boring into the little man's head, “This Sesshoumaru is never late.”

 

The rest of the ride upstairs remained silent. That didn't last long. The moment Sesshoumaru stepped out he was swarmed from every corner by busy employees; all were in some sort of worry.

 

“Mr. Taisho! Your nine o'clock meeting has been pushed up to right now! They are all waiting for you in the conference room!” his secretary shouted to him from her desk.

 

“I am on my way there right now.”

 

“Mr. Taisho! The whole computer system just crashed! It's those damn hackers! Practically all our information is no longer private!!” one of the interns squealed as his was pushed out of the way.

 

“Get Miroku on it right now! Tell him to switch the network and to resurface the firewalls better this time or he's out of a job!!”

 

“What about the files?!!”

 

“Tell Sango and Shiori to start on that, and that I want it all done and on my desk so I can look over it in a week.” He said pushing his way closer to the conference room.

 

“Oh by the way Mr. Taisho, Inuyasha called.” The secretary once again shouted from across the room, “He should be coming in…oops…right now.”

 

“What?!” Sesshoumaru snarled as he pushed his way even faster.

 

“I said…”

 

The elevator bell rung and let all hell loose.

 

Shit! Was all Sesshoumaru could think.

 

“What the fuck is going on here?!” Everyone stopped and cleared the way as the younger Mr. Taisho hastily made his way up to his brother. “Can't you keep anything under control?”

 

“I have no time to deal with you and your remarks right now Inuyasha.” Sesshoumaru gripped the handle to the conference room. “I'm already late for an important meeting.”

 

Jaken eyed Sesshoumaru from where he was standing. What a hypocrite!

 

“Now if you will excuse me brother…” he opened the door and was about to slide in.

 

“Dad passed away Sessh…” Inuyasha said. His eyes were evidently marked by grief. He continued but Sesshoumaru didn't hear any of it. He just stood there with the door open his eyes wide with disbelief. Thousands of thoughts were racing through his head as it was ringing through his ears.

 

The intern made his way up the staircase screaming, “The bathroom is flooded!” Once upstairs he noticed the room was as silent as…death. Sesshoumaru snapped out of his thoughts and howled, “You're fired! Get the hell out of this building!” His pain stricken face was not to be taken lightly.

 

“I want you all where you are supposed to be and I had better not hear another damn noise coming out of your wretched mouths!”

 

Now it was Inuyasha's turn to be worried. All of these employee's were going to sue Sesshoumaru for verbal assault if he didn't do something soon. He grabbed his brother by the shoulders and pushed him out into his own office.

 

“Hey, I got the meeting okay?” Inuyasha tried to sound calm for the sake of both of them “You just stay here, and I'll catch you up on what happened.”

 

Sesshoumaru sat as his desk with his face on his hands. He knew that his father was growing old with age, but this was unexpected. He was healthy and active, it just didn't make sense. No, this couldn't be happening right now. They hadn't prepared for it. He was NOT ready for this. The door clicked shut and he just stared towards the door. Silent tears were streaming down his face. He couldn't comprehend why. They were just …there. He had never experienced this pain in his chest, with the exception of his mother. Even then it hadn't been so severe. That's all he remembered as he shut his eyes and laid his head down on the desk.

Sango arrived on the twenty-second floor to confront Sesshoumaru about the earlier task he had requested if her and Shiori. It was definitely going to take more than the two of them in order to recover all the files. She heard about the untimely death of his father, but why make everyone else suffer?

 

Because that's who he is. Sango thought as she knocked on the door. I guess he isn't there.

 

The secretary than whispered, “He's in there honey, it might be best not to bother him though.”

 

“But I…” She was most certainly not going to go back downstairs again. Sango wasn't exactly sure if she wanted to face him right now either. Unconsciously her hand moved to knock on the door—very loud I might add.

 

She heard some sleepy groans, a loud thump, and finally a yelp of pain before she decided to open the door to see what was happening. What she saw made her breath catch in her throat. Sesshoumaru was on his hands and knees on the floor roaming around for something…or at least it was what it looked like.

 

“Who's there?” His voice croaked trying to stand up, but he only stumbled and caught himself on his knee.

 

Sango rushed to him and grabbed hold of his arm. “It's me, Sango.” Pulling his arm from her grasp he managed to push himself up. He steadied himself on the desk. “Turn on the light damnit. I must have slept in late.” He said as he rubbed his eyes.

 

“Sesshoumaru, the lights are on, and it's only three fifteen.”

 

He stopped rubbing his eyes. He had a sky view…that meant.

 

“You're eyes are very swollen and red.” Sango's voice was filled with concern. She walked towards him.

 

“Can you see my pupils?” he asked warily.

 

“Hai…”

 

Sesshoumaru felt the banging at his head again only this time it felt worse. It felt so much worse. He moaned in pain, and blacked out. Sango luckily managed to catch him before he hit the floor. His face was burning up in a fever, his eyes still swollen.

 

“Someone call an ambulance!” she screamed as he writhed in pain there in her arms.

A/N: Okay, so I know that I have yet to introduce Kagome into the story but trust me. She will be arriving soon enough. I came to the realization that I don't want this story to go over twenty chapters. I want it to be short, simple and to the point. The chapters will probably be ore lengthy and more in depth. Hopefully it will all work out.

Anyways, review, rate, whatever it is that you do.

 

By the way. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Jaken, etc. are ALL human in this story. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have the same features though. I know it doesn't make sense, but yeah, it's how I want it. Jaken of course isn't green, and he doesn't have a beak for a mouth…that would be rather odd.
