InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Never Say Never ❯ Chapter Two - Sesshomaru's POV ( Chapter 2 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Disclaimer: Look on Chapter one.
A little bald man ran quickly stumbled down the hallway. His stumpy legs carried him with all the strength he could muster. All to soon they ceased their pitter patter. Nervously, the man looked at the door in front of him.
“Well, it’s now or never,” he ominously thought.
Gulping back his fears, he knocked then entered slowly.
“Jaken,” came the cool voice from within.
“Yes my Lord?” said Jaken. He moved through his master’s private office to the front of the desk.
“What have I told you about hitting Rin?” Sesshomaru turned in his seat and glared at the servant.
“W-w-what do you mean Lord Sesshomaru!? I would never…”
“Silence!” snarled Sesshomaru. “I never want you to ignore or hit Rin ever again. If I hear one more word from her that she was left alone or hit, you will be without a job and without a head,” he said, enforcing his threat with his cold stare. Once he was sure Jaken understood him, he went back to his paperwork. However, his servant had other plans.
“Gomen my Lord. I promise it will never happen again! If it does…” Soon Jaken began his usual routine of pity and undying loyalty to his master.
“Jaken,” stated Sesshomaru, his eyes never leaving the paper he was reading, “leave my sight at once.”
“Of course my Lord. Is there anything I can…”
“NOW”
In the blink of an eye, Jaken was gone.
“That servant never fails to give me a headache,” thought Sesshomaru grimly, slowly rubbing circles around his temples.
“I really need to hire a new secretary for all this paperwork.” He thought to himself. “It just isn’t becoming of me.”
Getting up out of his seat, he stretched. Closing up his at home office he headed out to the gardens. After the many twists and turns of his home, he went through French double doors and onto a small patio. Following the small stone path off of the patio, he made his way to his ever growing gardens. “To much green for me,” he thought wryly. There, he found his daughter, quietly playing amongst the flowers with a small smile on her face. Ever since he could remember, she would always call him Daddy and bring him a fresh flower everyday to put on his desk. Upon seeing him, her smile grew wide and her eyes lit up.
“Daddy!” she cried. “Look what I picked for you!” Her little hand held up a white lily. “It reminded me of your hair, so I thought I would give it to you!” The gap in her front teeth showed as her smile grew even wider. “Do you like it?”
“It is beautiful Rin. I will put it with all the others.” Sesshomaru took the flower in one hand. Then something dawned on him.
“Rin,” he questioned, “where is Jaken?”
“Oh! He said that he was busy and that Rin should get lost, so I did! I came here to the gardens to get lost in the flowers!”
“Aa” came his reply.
“I wish Jaken would play with me though,” she said, her smile falling from her face. “He never plays with me, and sometimes I get lonely.” The thought had never occurred to Sesshomaru that Rin would get lonely seeing as she was always such a bright and happy child. But the little girl before him was definitely not as happy as she should have been.
Jaken would get kicked for this one. Then, and idea dawned on him. He was going to be interviewing for the secretarial positions today. Why not make her watch over Rin as well? “Yes,” he thought, “that will work out to my benefit quite nicely.” With a nod, he looked over to Rin.
“Rin, I will have a new friend for you to play with at the end of this day.”
“Really?” she asked, her smile reappearing on her face. “You will? Promise?”
“Of course Rin.”
“Oh thank you Daddy!” she screamed as she hugged him. “You’re the best!”
At this statement, Sesshomaru smiled slightly. It was the only time he allowed himself to let go of his icy demeanor.
After a few more seconds of hugging, she let him go. She had so many new flowers to pick if she had a new playmate coming! Sesshomaru on the other hand prepared to leave. After one last soft glance at Rin, he turned and made his way back to the house. Once there, instead of heading inside, he went around and to his six car garage. He chose to take his sporty blue car in to work. (A/N: I don’t know cars, so just make one up >.>)
Once on the road, he picked up his cell phone and dialed his half-brother. After a few rings, a gruff voice picked up on the other end.
“Hey Fluffy-sama, what’s up?”
“Inuyasha, if you ever call me that again I’ll…” But Sesshomaru never got to finish his statement.
“Yeah, yeah, you’ll beat me up or something. Whatever. So, what do you need, since I know you wouldn’t call me just to talk.”
“Hmm, very perceptive of one who is not so bright,” came the cold response. “I need to ask a favor of you. Rin’s birthday is coming up, and I want you to get a giant strawberry cake, enough to feed 35 kids, along with 3 clowns.”
“Damn, first off, 35 kids is way to many brats to be having over,” replied Inuyasha. “And no one likes strawberry cake. Plus, clowns are out of date. Don’t worry, I’ll get her something she likes.”
“Well don’t mess this up like you did last time,” growled Sesshomaru.
“Well it’s not like I’m planning your birthday this time, now is it?” snickered Inuyasha. “Don’t worry Fluffy, I won’t let you down.”
Before Sesshomaru could comment, Inuyasha hung up. “He will pay for that,” thought Sesshomaru as he glared at his phone.
Stopping at a red light, he was about to put down his phone when it began to ring. “I can’t wait to hire that new secretary,” he thought again.
Pressing the talk button, he answered.
“What do you want,” he spoke. He really didn’t feel like dealing with anyone.
“Hello Sessy poo! How are we today?” came a woman’s voice.
“Wench, what do you want?” growled out Sesshomaru. “I’m rather busy at the moment.”
As the light turned green, he zoomed off.
“Can’t I just call and talk to my Sessy poo?” asked Kagura.
“If you ever call me that again, you will no longer have a job,” he replied stiffly. Why did he hire her again? Even he had forgotten.
“Oh, I know you don’t mean that Sessy!” she giggled.
“Look wench, you call me by my name, and my name ONLY,” he snarled.
She gulped. “Of course Lord Sesshomaru, pardon my rudeness.” She knew when she had crossed the line, and this time, she was fortunate to still have a job.
As Sesshomaru was driving, he saw a black car stop at a stop sign. He really didn’t feel like following anyone into his office today, so he sped up. What he didn’t expect was the car to take off, but he was going to fast to stop. He honked his horn, but it was to late.
-CRASH-
This was definitely not his day. Looking up, he saw a woman emerge from the other car. “Of course, it would be a woman driver,” he thought. Turning his attention back to his cell phone, he spoke.
“Kagura, I have to go. Do NOT call this cell phone number again.”
“Of course Sesshomaru,” were her last words as he hung up on her. As he put his cell phone down, he noticed a shadow in the window. Looking up, he saw a face peering at him. “What gull this woman has. First she hits me then she stares at me.” As he was thinking this, he barely registered the fact that she was introducing herself to him. He was brought out of his thoughts when he realized she was still standing there.
“Can you move out of my way.” He said icily. He flinched when he heard her shriek at his comment. He spoke again.
“Can you move from the car door so I may get out or do you want to stand there looking stupid all day,” he said, making himself more clear.
He watched her mumble a quick “sorry” as she stepped back from his car. Opening his car door, he got out and stretched. After a brief pause, he turned towards her. “Do you always drive without looking?” he asked blatantly.
“I already told you what happened,” she replied through gritted teeth. To his amusement, he watched her close her eyes as she tried to control her anger. After a few moments, she opened her eyes. Raising an elegant eyebrow to her, he asked, “So How do you plan on paying for my car damage.”
What came out of her mouth next caught him completely off guard. “I don’t know, but I will pay for your damn car.” For a moment, he stood there stunned by her choice of words, but to the normal person, it would have looked as if he was bored with the situation. He quickly regained his composure.
“What did you say your name was again?” he asked.
“Oh, my name is Kagome!” she said as she flashed him a smile.
“What a weird girl,” he thought to himself. “Now why does that name seem so familiar. I have heard it somewhere recently. Oh well, it is of no importance.”
“What’s your name?” she asked, shaking him out of his thoughts once again.
“Sesshomaru,” he stated. Suddenly, he notice her begin to tremble and step back.
“You mean,” she asked shakily,” as in Sesshomaru Taisho, as in the President of Taisho Corps?”
“That would be correct.” The next thing he knew, he heard her say, “Oh my Kami-sama” as she passed out.
“It really isn’t my day” he said to himself as he bent down to check on her. After making sure she was still breathing, he called Jaken.
“Jaken, call the closest tow truck and have them come pick up my blue car as well as a black one.”
“Why, my Lord?” he questioned.
“Don’t question me Jaken, just do as I say and come pick me up along with,” he looked at Kagome, “someone I just met.”
“Of course, Sesshomaru.”
