[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
AN: Ok here is the deal, most of you probably know I have another ongoing fanfic that I am writting. I get stuck on one, when I do I work on the other. So here is what I am going to do to see if I can't get these chapters for both stories out a little faster. I am going to rotate updating these stories, ie I am updating this one now so the next time I update it will be my other story. Hopefully, doing it this way I can get chapters out quicker. Anyway, on with the story...

I awoke the next morning to the sound of my alarm. "Why must I always insist on going to that damned club?" I mumbled to myself. I reached over and turned the alarm off then stumbled out of bed. I went through my normal morning routine, then headed off to work.
Stepping up to the door leading into the office, I looked at my watch before heading in. I was actually five minutes early today. That thought brought a smile to my lips. "Maybe, just maybe, what ever has been following mehas decided to give up." I jumped when I heard a voice behind me.
"Who has been following you?" Lisa had been standing behind me patiently waiting for me to enter the office. She noticed the startled look on my face, "I'm sorry, Seth, I wasn't trying to scare you. I forgot my keys at home." She gave a little chuckle, "damn these Mondays."
I smiled at her as I pulled my keys from my pocket, "yeah they are terrible aren't they?"
"You never answered my question, who has been following you?" She asked as I made my way to my desk.
"I don't really know, I never see who it is I just get one of those feelings. You know what I mean?" I had made it to my desk and turned to Lisa, worry written on my face.
"Have you called the police?" she whispered as if the stalker was there watching.
"No! Are you crazy? I don't even know if someone has truely been following me. What if I am just going crazy?"
"Well I think you should. Think about it, I would hate to have my friend kidnapped because she was afraid to call the police." With that said she stormed off. I knew she was mad at me, but I wasn't about to call the police if I had no evidence.

I t was about noon and I was getting ready to go to lunch when a familar guy walked through the door.
He looked at me and smiled. "Sorry I am late, I had a hard time finding this place."
I looked at him as if he were crazy, just as I was about to ask him what he was doing here I heard Lisa come into the room.
"Oh, hey Inu, glad to see you could make it." She turned to me, "Sethia, this is..."
"Inu Yasha, yeah I know. I had the pleasure" I rolled my eyes, "of meeting him and his brother last night at the club." Inu Yasha was giving me a death look from hell behind Lisa's back.
"Oh, okay then, he is here to start working. His duties are filling, mailing, and running errands for us. We don't normally give receptionists authority over anyone, but we think you can handle this. He is to report in to you in the morning when he arrives, when he takes his breaks, when he goes to lunch, and when he leaves for the day. You are to keep track of his hours and turn them in to me at the end of the week."
I looked at her like she was out of her mind, but decided it would be in my best interests to go along with it. "Okay, I guess I can handle that. I'm heading out to lunch now, see you when I get back." I grabbed my purse and made my way to the door. I stopped when I noticed I was being followed. "And where do you think you are going?" I asked, one eyebrow raised in suspition.
"Um, going to lunch with you." He stated as if it was a common accurance and I should have known it.
I gave him my best "like hell you are' look, "you can go on lunch if you want, but you are not going with me." I watched as the hurt flooded into his golden eyes.
"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened last night. Can we try that meeting again?"
I thought on it for a few seconds and came to the conclusion that I had no choice now that we worked together. "Sure I guess, but I still don't trust you. You must prove that I can."
"Alright, that sounds fair. My name is Inu Yasha." He held out his hand for me to shake. When I took his hand in mine he gave it a firm shake. I went to take my hand back and was suprised when he didn't let go. "Will you grant me the honor" he said while lifting my hand to his face, "of eating lunch with you today?" He finished his question by placing a chaste kiss on my hand.
"Fine, you can join me, but I swear if you do anything like last night I will have you fired." I retorted as I jerked my hand away from his.
"It's a deal!" he said slyly. "We are walking right? Cause if not I don't have a car and will need a ride."
"We will take my car. Come on let's go." I walked out the door not caring if he was following or not.
He followed me out to my car and sat down in the passenger seat after I unlocked the doors. "So where are we going to eat?"
I looked at him before throwing the car in reverse. "I don't know yet, we are going to the mall. They should have enough choices on where to eat."
For the rest of the short trip we sat in silence. I found a spot close to the entrance, pulled in and tuned the car off. We walked in and headed for the food court. After getting out lunch we sat down at a table in my usual spot.
"Okay, I can't take it anymore! This is freaking me out. I met you last night and now you are working with me. Is this just a coincidence or are you stalking me?" Trying to stay calm I took another bite of my sandwhich.
He choked on the food that he had been chewing on. "Well seeing that I have never laid eyes on you till last night I will have to say that this is a coincidence." He lied, he hated lying to her, but he didn't want to scare her off.
"I see." 'He is lying to me, I can feel it.' I studied him while I took another bite of my lunch. "So was that your first time at the club?"
"Yeah, I didn't get to look around that much though. I had just gotten there when I ran into you and 'him'." He spat out the last part about his brother.
"Oh, you two don't get along very well do you?"
"Not really, he has never liked me because I am only half...um, his half brother." He let out a sigh mentally, 'damn I almost told her what I am.'
"I'm sorry, that is a total suck reason for you two to hate each other." This saddened me, but I knew where he was coming from. "My sister and I don't get along as well." The corners of my lips tugged themselves down to form a frown.
"Why don't you get along with her, if you don't mind me asking."
I looked up at him, a silent debate going on within my head. 'It couldn't hurt to tell him. I mean it isn't like he knows her.' "She used me to get at my father. You see she was trying to kill him. I figured it out before it happened though. Needless to say she has been disowned by almost everyone in my family."
"How could anyone kill their father?"
"It isn't her real father, my mother was married before him. Allisa came from her first marraige. My mother is the only one who talks to her now, I haven't seen her since it happened. I was told that I walked in on her just as she was about to kill him. My brother Lawrence told me they had to rush Allisa to the hospital. I don't know though, I can't remember anything that happened after I opened the door and found her there with a knife placed at my father's throat."
