InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Not my Fiancé ❯ Not my Opportunity ( Chapter 13 )

Brand New Chapter 13 Completed

George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue played melodically in the background. The girl on the small screen started slowly with exaggerated movements. Her black Pointe shoes got quite a workout through the first two movements of the song. Her hair was tied up in a dark bun and she sported a white tank over her normal leotard. Her eyes were concentrated but her smile was true.

Two pairs of dark eyes stared intently at the screen. “Where is she from?” Maija Plisetskaya asked her thick Russian accent fogged over with sleep. She yawned and stretched in her pajamas before turning her attention to the man next to her.

“Japan… She is a bit short but…”

“There are ways to make her look longer, yes? But all the way from Japan Gedeminas.” She questioned.

Gedeminas Taranda frowned and looked at Maija. “Olga has hurt her foot and she will be out of commission for the performance coming up…”

“But there are others in the company…” Maija started.

“But we are all about opening doors for those with potential. And this Rin girl has passed the level of potential.” Gedeminas said as he ran his hand through his dark hair.

“But…”

“Her style is original yet traditional in the same sense. With some more professional training she could easily rival anyone in the company. Who knows? Maybe she will be able to teach me some new things…”

Maija's eyebrow rose at this statement. “I guess it will be fine. I can make the arrangements in the morning. I know this was important but couldn't it have waited until a decent hour?”

“The Imperial Russian Ballet Company awaits nothing.”

“You were up watching anime again weren't you?”

“Just Full Metal Alchemist…”

Sesshoumaru let his hair loose for once as he made his way into his office building. His normally polished business suit was replaced with a less traditional silk shirt and black dress pants. His normally pinching shoes were replaced with a more comfortable pair. A pair of black shades sat over his eyes and his briefcase was flung haphazardly over his shoulder.

“Sesshoumaru-sama you have… a call…” His secretary started before she gazed up at him her eyes bugging out.

Sure she knew her boss was hot. But she ignored it which was the real reason she had her job. But dear kami-sama, he looked like a sex god gracing his presence on the unworthy. His secretary shook her head a few times and then was able to retrace her train of thought.

“Line three sir… and may I say, you look absolutely wonderful today.” She said before turning back to her work.

Sesshoumaru nodded in acknowledgement of both of her statements as he walked into his office. He placed his briefcase on the floor and then quickly turned around and poked his head out of the door. “Miaka…” He said calling out his secretary's name in such a kind way it shocked her. She wasn't even sure that he knew her name. “Clear my schedule after lunch and then you can have the rest of the day off…”

“Really sir?” The woman asked completely shocked.

“Yes.” He replied simply.

“Sir…” Miaka started before Sesshoumaru had the chance to pull his head back into his office. “I know it is really none of my business but…” She lowered her voice and tried to gain eye contact with him. “Did you kill Kagura-san?” Her face was completely serious and her tone pleaded for the truth.

A devious smirk appeared on Sesshoumaru's mouth before he looked over his shades at the woman. Apparently his whole office was aware of his marital issues; why not play on their gossip? “I don't know… why don't you watch the missing persons report, hum?” He said before he pulled himself into his office and closed the door. Sesshoumaru envisioned his secretary's paled completion and his smirk turned into a grin. He then walked over to his desk and leaned against it while picking up the phone.

“What?”

“Sesshoumaru?” A voiced asked slightly unsure.

“Yes, Kagome?”

“Is this really you? You sound… I don't know… perky or maybe even happy…” Kagome shivered on the other line at the thought of Sesshoumaru being happy.

Sesshoumaru frowned at this statement and tried to imagine how he acted when he was cut off. Aw yes, think menopausal… “You are wasting this Sesshoumaru's valuable business time, Kagome.” Damn he didn't call people by name when he was pissed. Oh well… “If you called to banter…”

“Yeah, you're the same jackass. Actually I was calling about Rin. She's been acting weird. Like last night… I mean this morning she came home at like five and she almost caught the apartment on fire. Then she's yelling stuff in her sleep waking me up and claiming that she… I can't even say it.”

Sesshoumaru's devious smirk reappeared as he picked up a paper weight and tossed it into the air. “Can't say what Kagome?” Sesshoumaru asked knowing exactly what she couldn't say.

“She said she had sex… kami… no she said she `burned a hole in the floor'…”

“Just the floor?” Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

“Actually no, she said something about doing it on the couch, the floor and in a car…”

“The wall too…” Sesshoumaru muttered trying to recall how many times he had taken her while standing the previous night. `Once… maybe twice but that time ended on the floor so it didn't really count.' He thought.

“What? I couldn't hear you.” Kagome said on the other line.

“I said nothing…”

“Oh… well, I was wondering if you knew anybody Rin would have been going out with. I mean she's been kind of distant lately and hasn't mentioned anyone to me.” At this Kagome sounded a tad bit hurt.

“And why would this Sesshoumaru know such things?”

“I don't know. I just had this hunch to call and ask you…”

“I know nothing of Rin's relationships.”

“She's not the type to go for a one night stand though…”

“Rin is not a whore.”

“I didn't say that.”

“It seemed… implied…”

“A one night stand does not make one a whore. It simply makes one a horny person.” Kagome forced out with a sigh.

“…”

“Okay, well if she tells you anything, please do share. But I got to go; someone is on the other line from… Russia? That's weird. Bye Sesshoumaru.” Kagome said before hanging up.

Sesshoumaru placed the phone on the hook and made his way behind his desk. Today was going to be a good day. Now all he had to do is move Kagura's corpse and put out the missing person's report so Miaka would have something interesting to watch tonight. Oh wait… he hadn't killed the bitch yet. Damn, he really had to stop counting his chickens.

Kagome's eyes widened in shock as she tried her hardest to listen to the rough accent on the phone. “Are you serious? Do you guys even know how great this will look on a resume?”

“In all my years I have never seen one so small with such fluid motion. She of course will have to come to Moscow to train and then stay for the performances. But from this tape I'm sure it won't be too much of a challenge for her.” Gedeminas said on the other line trying his hardest to translate Kagome's quick speech.

“Wow, a chance to dance with the Imperial Russian Dance Company. This will like automatically take her to prima status won't it?” Kagome asked not believing her ears.

“I suppose but with her skill we just assumed…”

“Rin isn't a prima ballerina because she has always been more of a jazz person. I really think she didn't want to go through all the stress that comes with the test.”

“It makes sense. But if you could have her contact me, Kagome, right?”

“Yeah it's Kagome… She has a class right now but I can rush down there to tell her. This is one of those in person things, you know?”

“Yes I understand. Tell her the training will begin in four days. All expenses will be paid for her to get here, stay and return. She will be here for two months. And do you know if she speaks Russian? Even the smallest amount would help.”

“Are you kidding? Rin took eight different language courses between high school and college, excelled in every single one of them. I think she started Russian her sophomore year in high school and carried it over to her junior year in college.”

“Hm… Well thank you for your help Kagome. And I hope to meet your sister in the flesh very soon. Bye.” He said.

“No thank you, bye!” Kagome hung up the phone and raced out the door. Opportunities like this didn't happen every day.

The devil lied to me

Told me you were mine

Because when he gave me

Just one wish

I wished you by my side

The devil lied to me

Said I was the one

That you would love

Forever more

But this time is done

You've got to understand

That the devil is a lie

He tried to take you from me

And I stabbed him in the side

I wish he would try

Would try that trick again

Cause you are mine

Forever more

The cost of my sin

Do I not rock? I am awesome. I like how Sesshoumaru thinks he killed Kagura and then he remembers he didn't do it yet. It was a piece of my special ness. Oh yeah, let me explain the IRB Co. Umm… the people mentioned Gedeminas Taranda and Maija Plisetskaya are actually real people who are quite famous in the ballet world. They are the President and Artistic Director of the Imperial Russian Ballet Company. They are extremely accomplished ballerinas Olga Pavlova, I didn't mention her last name, is actually one of my favorite ballerinas. I have a poster of her just don't tell anyone, it will ruin my tough girl image if it gets out, `Oh, Star was in ballet for 8 years and was going to attempt the prima ballerina thing when she got out of high school but she hurt her foot and couldn't dance anymore.' That was actually my goal before I got in middle school and broke the mess out of my self. Oh well my new dream is to become an engineer. Anyway I want 8 new reviews. Alright? Good. Now I'm going to bed because I have to get up in 6 hours. Good night!
