Chapter 2

“I'm sorry what!” she asked with disbelief laced in her voice. She watched as he coldly stared at her, leaning back in his cocoon of a chair. It truly was unnecessarily large.

“I do not repeat myself.” Now it was her turn to raise an eyebrow at him, though she didn't think hers was as perfectly trimmed as his.

“Well surely you could bare to make an exception.”

“No, I can not.” Their eyes stayed locked in a cold and long death glare. She fought the urge to growl at him. This guy was a total and complete jerk, and she could tell he was stubborn, but so was she. Challenge accepted sir!

“Okay then Mr. Taisho, why is it that you do not hire humans?”

“You didn't put on your application that you were human, why?” he asked, dodging the question she just asked him. She wasn't one to let a guy walk all over her. As a matter of fact she couldn't keep a boyfriend because of the fact that she had such a head-on type of personality. She told it straight forward, with no crap, and most guys didn't like the fact that their female was so much more successful. He on the other hand surpassed her in that area. Looking pass all that, there was something different about him.

“Discretion.”

“Excuse me?” She leaned forward on his desk. Once again he raised an eyebrow at her.

“I didn't have to tell you I was human. It's along the fields of not having to tell you my gender, race, sexual preferences, and added to that is species.” She took in a deep breath when he leaned against his desk. Damn it he was handsomely beautiful!

“You're right Ms. Hamasaki, you did not have to inform us of that, but then where does the fact that I have to even consider hiring you come in?” She gasped when he grabbed her file and flung it into the trash can. Jerk!

“Was that really necessary?” she exclaimed. He looked over to the trash.

“Trash was piling up,” he looked down at her arms on his desk, “would you like to be next?” She gave him an 'I dare you look'. When she saw the 'Oh I'm more than serious' look on his face, with a loud sigh, she instantly removed herself. Damn it, what's wrong with you Rin? Get even, use your brain!

“Shall I call Kanna to escort you out?” he asked, ready to page her on his office phone. Rin quickly reached for his hand, and he instantly grabbed a hold of her, pulling her closer, and practically dragging her across his desk. He moved so fast that she hadn't even seen him move. She suddenly remembered that he was a top notch demon. “You're pushing it human.” Rin roughly pulled away from him, acting as though their previous proximity hadn't affected her.

“Not so fast Taisho,” she moved back into her seat. His face returned to his cold demeanor. “If you reject me from this position because I am human, I can have you sued for racial acts against my species.” For the first time during this entire interview she finally saw him smile, though it was less than friendly.

“Oh? And how are you going to prove that. I have cameras all over this room, with a simple tweak of these videos I could say you were unsuitable for this position because your complete misconduct behavior during this interview. So how would you like to do this?” She stared at him in disbelief and slight awe. She'd been outsmarted.

Rin quickly stood realizing that this interview was over, and she knew that she had lost this job opportunity. It hit her in the heart. Her parents would be disappointed with her. That is, if they were still alive.

“Would you like me to call Kanna to throw you out, or exit on your own with the little dignity you have left?” She fought the urge to cry. This man had no remorse and no apologies to give. She realized she could never work under a man like him.

“Mr. Taisho it was a pleasure meeting you I guess.” Surprisingly he nodded, she clung to that nod. Then she turned and exited his office. She walked quickly to the door that exited from Kanna's office.

“You must have gotten the job!” She stood excitedly, “ I made sure I picked the best of all the applications we received!” When I turned my eyes to her she frowned. I continued on my way, wanting to leave before she asked me any questions. At least Kagome would be happy.

He stared after her form. The words 'wow' and 'holy crap' resounded in his mind. That female was quite intense. She was in fact perfect for the job position, but the thought of hiring a human was out of the question. He could not and would not hire a human. Though he hated the fact that her personality reminded him so much of...He looked down at her case file once more and sighed.

“Lord Sesshomaru!” Kanna barged in. He shook his head, covering the case file. The only time she called him Lord Sesshomaru was when something went wrong. Truthfully, he was tired of her disrespectful antics. Was knocking suddenly thrown out the window in this world? “How could you not hire her?” she questioned. He looked at the sister of his former assistant. He only put up with her because of that fact, now she was over stepping the boundaries.

“Miss Takaba, I just had a very annoyingly rambunctious female walk out of my office, I do not need another.”

“But she was perfect!”

“She would already have the job if she was,” he retaliated. She frowned and crossed her arms.

“But-” that was the last straw for him. After dealing with Ms Hamasaki, he no longer had any patience for the rest of the day. He was up and had a steel grip on her. She stared at him with fear, but it only fueled his anger.

“You question me one more time, and I assure you it will be your last,” he threatened. He found it strange that sometimes this girl was void of emotions. This time was different for some strange reason. Then again he had notice that she was showing a lot more emotions this week. Her sisters death is affecting her more than I thought.

He watched as tears streamed down her cheeks, and it was enough for him to loosen his grip, but not completely release her. “You think you're the only one who misses her? She was my sister! The only sister I had! The only family I had left! So don't go around acting like you're feeling more pain that I am, just because you guys had a little fling.” He tightened his grip. Fling? How dare she! “She was my blood, and I think that you are the one pushing it a little to far!” He knew it was coming. Always with the emotions and spur of the moment. “I quit! Maybe now you'll consider Miss Hamasaki.”

He released her, and watched as she exited his office. He raised an eyebrow at her when she returned with a piece of notebook paper from her notepad and a larger computer paper. “Here is where you brunch with your father and brother will be, it's in thirty minutes so you might want to leave now.” He took it and examined it, apparently the brunch is at the restaurant his father owned, or better yet, the restaurant he left for Inuyasha to run. “And here is my resignation letter.” He didn't take it, so she walked over to his desk and placed it there. “Goodbye Sesshomaru.” She was officially gone. It was only a matter of time.

“Koga did you get me the evidence I needed on the case?”

“Yes sir, and I think you're right. I'm at the building right now, and from how you told me they said the fire started it doesn't seem that way at all.” Sesshomaru furrowed his brow. He knew it!

“What do you mean?”

“Well it seems as though the stove in the house was rigged to set on fire. If Miss Takaba was in the shower where they found her, then she would have realized to late that the fire had started. She was trapped.” There was silence. Sesshomaru fought the pain in his chest. He couldn't help her. “I'm sorry Sesshomaru.”

“You did good Koga. We'll talk later.”

He pulled up to the restaurant and exited his Maybach Exelero, being sure that his guards surrounded him, so that his picture wasn't taken. How in the the world did they always know? Then again he was driving around in one of the most expensive cars in the world. He entered the restaurant, and headed straight to the back private dinning room where his father and brother would be.

“Eleven o'clock sharp. Always so punctual you bastard.” Sesshomaru fought the urge to sigh. He forgot his shots. He looked to his brother who had a blood red suit on, and a silk chemise underneath. His father went for the traditional black. This morning he decided gray.

“Father, Inuyasha, let's make this quick. You interrupted me from some very important work,” he said taking a seat, and ignoring Inuyasha's previous comment. He wasn't in the mood.

“I hope you're not working yourself to death,” his father said.

“If I do I'm sure you'll revive me with that useless sword, though I'd rather stay dead.” It should have been him not her.

“There you go again bringing up the swords!” Inuyasha exclaimed, “Really Sesshomaru, we don't even use them anymore, and he handed off the large and wealthy company to you. Truthfully, I think we're quite even.” Sesshomaru no longer cared for the swords, he just constantly brought them up because it got under the half demon's skin.

“Getting to the real point,” his father interrupted, glaring at them both, “I called you both here because there has been a change in company regulations.” The room grew intense.

“What type of change?” Sesshomaru asked. This must have been what that Panther was referring to in this mornings meeting. Why the hell was he the last to hear about this?

“I figured you wouldn't know, but to get humans and demons to get along in this big world, a rule has been added. It is that each demon company must hire at least one human and vice versa.”

“What!” Sesshomaru glanced at his brother who he knew had no problem with this at all. He already hired many humans. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but his brother did really well in taking care of the restaurant, so much that it was considered one of the top and most expensive restaurants to eat in. His mind drifted to Rin Hamasaki, and he frowned. How convenient for you. Something was going on.

“Fine with me,” Inuyasha said, “it was just a matter of time.”

“And when was this rule set?” Sesshomaru asked.

“An hour ago.” Damn it! That would have been nice to know just about, what, an hour ago!

“Now, I know the perfect person for the position if you haven't found someone yet.”

“Hn,” of course he has.

“It's Sara.”

“Sara? Crazy stalker Sara,” Inuyasha laughed.

“Father please, that's a whole lot of past compulsive obsessiveness and stalker issues that I'd rather not bring to the present.”  Sesshomaru could not believe his father even brought up her name in front of him. His father smiled.

“Yes, I'll admit Sara had some strong feelings for you.”

“Has!” he and Inuyasha corrected. He glared at his brother, and the half demon smiled in return.

“He's just stuck on Kagura dad.”

“Inuyasha!” his father exclaimed. Bastard of a brother!

“Inuyasha you must not cherish your tongue, because the way you're speaking is as if you're asking me to rip it out,” Sesshomaru said coldly. Inuyasha frowned. “I've already found someone, you don't need to worry about it father.” They both looked at him curiously. “I'll be on my way now.”

“What about brunch?” his father called after him.

“Not hungry.” He walked back out to his car less than happy. What he was about to do, was not going to be to his liking.

“Hello?”

“Sara, listen closely. I need you to contact Ms. Hamasaki and inform her of something.”

“And what is that sir?” she asked nervously. He slid into the drivers seat of his Maybach.

“Inform that she now has the job of Executive Assistant.”
