Guarding for a Life
Akuma: I am so proud! I posted this story on just fan fiction and got like four reviews!
Yaumi: That is really pathetic but I will give her points for trying.
Arty: Aren’t we the generous one.
Akuma: Arty I will remind you of my world famous quote ‘Don’t question the stupid.’ And what ever you do don’t ask Yaumi what she is doing.
Arty: Curiosity killed Arty. Do tell.
Akuma: You’re not gunna like this but she’s pretending to be Simon from American Idol. *Shields body in case of an attack*
Arty: She is pretending to be a person from a show I hate? No loathe entirely! *Starts turning red*
Yaumi: That was the worst performance I have ever seen. Get off my stage.
Arty: That’s it you’re going down SIMON! *Grabs Akuma’s double bladed sword and runs after Yaumi*
Akuma: Well it’s up to me to do everything.
Review Response
(Akuma responds to all of them)
Missyeru: Yeah an intelligent person with a good question! Thanks for liking it. OH and the answer to your question can be found in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!
Orchidaceae: I will be updating soon if I get like three more reviews on this chapter (yes I have learned generosity). Well the first chapter was a chapter it was just a small preview to see if anyone liked it. And I guess some people did. I was in fact recovering from a sugar high and some diabetes thing when I thought of this. It’s going to be a hard one to write but it may get easier if I go on another sugar high.
Ami: Thxs! Nice reviewer. Who’s a good reviewer? You are!
Bleedingwings666: Oh I love your name it’s cool! To bad someone else seems to have thought that too. Aren’t we all sleepy? Well thanks for being my first reviewer. *Hands her Sesshoumaru plushie*
Disclaimer - Yeah still a no.
Chapter 1
Set Lose The Hounds
****Sesshoumaru’s POV****
Sighing I rushed out of my office on the twenty-third and top floor of a huge cylinder shaped glass building. This building housed Mitsurugi Tech. A huge operation controlled by myself, given to me by his my father, Inutaishu. The only good thing that came about by Inutaishu’s new love life* was that Mitsurugi Technologies flourished under my care.
I Walked past my secretary, who at this time was a girl named Yura. The bitch is fascinated by hair. Storming out of the secretary’s little room and to the hallway I reached the elevator and descended to the first floor to see the new bodyguard applying for the current job opening at Mitsurugi Tech.
Why my father ever decided he needed some one to take care of him, no less a human, was beyond me. A scowl plastered itself to my face as I stepped out of the elevator, I was in such a black mood I didn't even try to change it to my usual displeased frown.
*** Flash Back (no POV) ***
Inuyasha ran up to Sesshoumaru, who was at the time quietly reading a book in the living room. “Yo Fuff-ball! Dad wants you! He’s in his study!” with his message delivered Inuyasha ran out of the room.
Only to hear Sesshoumaru yell back after him, “You call me Fluff-ball again I will personally see to you being mauled by a vicious animal.” Muttering under his breath Sesshoumaru wondered what his father wanted of him this time.
Probably one of those, Son-you-need-to-get-a-life-and-stop-acting-like-and- ice-cube lectures. Damn those where the worst lectures his father gave him and that was the most popular topic for Inutaishu’s riveting lectures.
Coming out of his musings over what his father wanted of him this time Sesshoumaru found himself face to face with his father’s office door.
Stretching out his senses Inutaishu noticed his eldest son was taking his sweet time in getting to his office. He just loves trying my patience, that he does. But he’s messing with the best.
Stretching out his senses once more they revealed to him that his son was at his door. “Come in Sesshoumaru. There is much I need to talk to you about.”
With the ease of one totally at home with his body Sesshoumaru entered his father’s large office. One quick glance around the room told him the office was still the same, three floor to ceiling bookcases were spread around the room filled to the brim with books in many languages. The rich red carpet felt soft under his slippered feet and the room still smelled like wood and his father. Speaking of his father Sesshoumaru shifted his eyes lazily back to where Inutaishu sat regally behind a deep red mahogany desk. Papers strewn everywhere over its top.
Clearing his throat when he noticed his son’s attention turn back to him he began speaking “Sesshoumaru, my son, you know I have recently bestowed you as the new owner of Mitsurugi Technologies.” This was a question that Inutaishu didn’t mean to be answered. Inutaishu liked to give the one he was addressing a little hint about the topic they would be speaking about. “You also know that Onigumo Incorporate is coming close to gaining our spot as the number one industry of Japan. Don’t get me wrong Sesshoumaru you have done wonders with the company. If I was still running Mitsurugi Tech we probably would already be number two. But my son you know that they didn’t rise up to their position honestly. They will stop at nothing to become number one.”
Inutaishu looked deeply into his son’s eyes before continuing, the eyes were the same gold shade as his but lacking something, Sesshoumaru’s eyes were much more intimidating than his. “Sesshoumaru I want you to get a bodyguard, a human one.” At seeing the outraged look on his son’s usually blank face Inutaishu held up his hands. “Before you argue with me hear me out.”
The look Sesshoumaru gave his father told Inutaishu that he would listen but most likely hate him more than he did already, if possible.
“The press will think it is weird that you are walking around without bodyguards after all the threats you have been given*. What would the press think? Besides it can’t hurt and it will only be until we can move further up Japan’s list. So far up that it would be suicide to rise up against us. You are beginning to understand my son?” Inutaishu looked over his son and noticed that like always none of his body movements hinted to any of his emotions.
Suddenly Sesshoumaru’s whole look changed, like he snapped under the pressure. Baring his fangs Sesshoumaru looked ready to burst a vein or kill anyone with in a billion mile kilometer of him. “What makes you think I can’t take care of myself?” Sesshoumaru hissed at his father, venom seeping from his every word. The tension in the room was so think Inutaishu could have sworn that he could easily cut it.
Taking a deep breath Inutaishu looked deeply into his son’s cold hard eyes. “If you don’t obey my wishes Sesshoumaru I will take Mitsurugi Tech back and you know I have full rights to do that. You also know I am only doing this for you. Besides you’re not perfect, no one is. It couldn’t hurt to have another pair of eyes looking out for you. And I already told you the main reason for you needing a human bodyguard.”
Suddenly Sesshoumaru changed back to how he normally was, a stoic cold ice cube of a man. No emotions broke through his barrier. “Father I will obey your wishes and not disappoint you. I will schedule a meeting with a bodyguard in three days no less and no more.” Sesshoumaru said through a monotone voice. With that he left the room in a swirl of white.
Shaking his head sadly Inutaishu watched his son leave. It truly hurt deeply when his son put up his impenetrable barriers. “I know you care and have emotions, you loved your mother as much as I. So why do you act like you have no emotions? Why live your life in such a horrible state?" He whispered after his oldest son.
*** End Flash Back ***
Walking across the first level of Mitsurugi Tech, which currently had a black marble floor, I settled into a cushioned waiting room chair. Rubbing my temples and closing my eyes, I silently cursed my father. He knows where to hit me where it hurts the most.
*** Kagome’s POV ***
Slamming on the car horn and cursing about my bad luck one would think I had a bad case of road rage. Stupid traffic! I’m on a dead line! As if the traffic cares! The clock currently said 8:46, I turned off the main road and onto a less used side road.
Three quick turns and it was already 8:53 but the Mitsurugi Technology skyscraper loomed only fifteen feet away. Early morning sunlight reflected off the all glass and onto buildings surrounding it.
Zooming into the parking lot I let out a sigh of relief when I parked the car with 2 minutes to spare. Great all I have to do is use the elevator to get to the next floor and I am home free.
Running up to the front desk on the first floor I succeed in thoroughly scaring the heck of the poor girl at the desk.
Gasping the girl stammered “Um. How can I help you . . Miss?” Her pale face flushed with embarrassment.
I slammed my hand down on the desk and almost yelled at the girl. “I am here to see this . . Mitsurugi guy. I am here for a job interview.” I adjusted the strap of my lucky pack and let out a sigh of accomplishment. OK, so I'm a little unprofessional.
Shakily the girl pointed to a figure covered in sunlight. “He’s over there waiting, Mr. Mitsurugi that is.”
“Thanks” I said to the girl and walked towards the figure, at a normal pace this time.
Sitting down in the seat across from Mitsurugi, I got a good look for the first time at the man who wished to hire me.
Pale white hair that seemed almost gold in the sunlight reached down to the back of this tall man’s knees. He was tall and lean and the paleness of his skin didn’t make him appear sickly. All in all this man looked like he could break if some one flicked him with their pinky. But I knew looks could be deceiving.
He’s a cute one. Shoot! Don't think that about your boss! Bad Kagome. Slowly the man turned towards me (he was looking sideways out the window and wasn’t really thinking about anything) piercing gold eyes gave him an intimidating appearance as he directing that penatrating gaze at me. Forget the pinky thing.
“Hello I am Kagome Higurashi, I’m here for the job interview. You know as a bodyguard. My boss, Mr. Hiten recommended me.” I spoke to the impassive man who sat before me, he would care if I ran around naked. For some reason he gave off the air of a lord and seemed to hold himself like he was one. He was one stuck up bastard.
“He failed to tell me you where female,” he said in a deep baritone voice, scrutinizing me with his eyes. I shivered as I felt his eyes run down my body. But there was nothing romantic in this look. It was cold and nasty. It left you with a horrible worthless feeling.
“Females are just as valuable as males and if you have something against women than I will gladly leave.” I moved to get up but his deep voice interrupted me.
“Follow me.” He said
It was ether follow him or walk out of a job with a big salary. Obviously I chose to follow Sesshoumaru. With the grace of a cat he lifted himself up off the chair and with a brisk pace walked towards the elevator his hair swishing behind him.
Jumping up quickly I had to run to catch up with him and to walk next to him had to take two steps to one of his. I looked up and was surprised at his height. He had to be at the least six feet, the long hair and limbs accentuated his height.
Steeping in the elevator the we rode up to the twenty-second floor in silence. The iron doors opened to reveal a huge dojo that took up half the size of the floor, the only door was to the left of the elevator. “You are the first female to lay sight on my dojo. Only my little brother and father have seen it in the daylight. It is a very private place.”
“It’s so big! Why would you need one this size?” I questioned figuring that I should learn more about this guy now that I was sure he wanted to hire me and was over that female thing.
“My brother and I enjoy a little fighting now and than and we both practice regularly.” He answered as he walked to the other side of the room where long swords hung on the wall. “Pick a weapon.”
Sadly I had not had the time or thought to bring my own weapons with me. But who expects to have to fight someone in a job interview?
Understanding that he wished to test me, I grabbed a sword, a little shorter than the length of my arm. While Sesshoumaru grabbed the sword on the top, one sword was next to it. It was an old rusty blade, much unlike the one he held in his hands.
“We’ll just have a little practice, no real physical contact.” He told me advancing to the center of the dojo, I was close on his heels. He took up a position closer to the left side of the room, which left me the right side. “I’ll let you come at me first.” He told her once she was ready.
End Chapter 1
Akuma: OK! Finished, actually I’m afraid it might be too long.
Arty: Who cares if it is! But you still have to do you’re little author’s note things.
Akuma: You’re right for once!
*** Author’s Notes ***
Love life – Inutaishu right about now is married to Inuyasha’s mother. They divorced but now are back together.
Threats – Sesshoumaru has received numerous threats from unknown sources (Yeah right we all know where they’re coming from). The press knows about this and I think it would look strange if an individual has been threatened that they should walk around with out protection.
Arty: OK. That was all that needed to be addressed. You need to have a little mystery somewhere in a story!
Akuma: The next chapter should be up if like I said before I get reviews! OK bye!
Akuma: I am so proud! I posted this story on just fan fiction and got like four reviews!
Yaumi: That is really pathetic but I will give her points for trying.
