The Professional
Chapter 1
Sesshomaru
Most people saw me as a cold hearted asshole, albeit an attractive and well dressed asshole, but an asshole all the same. While I'm the first to admit that statement as being somewhat factual I do have a heart. My brother Inuyasha and I fight, that was the basis of our relationship, but I did love the mutt. He was my little brother and our fights helped to strengthen him and allow him to take care of himself. As a hanyou he had to deal with the prejudice of both sides and it was imperative that he be able to defend himself against the strongest youkai if need be. Although the Taisho name went far and was well respected there were still those who felt that Inuyasha was inferior and didn't deserve the bloodline bestowed upon him. I have done my part to protect my brother. I helped our father train him and took on more responsibility so that he could enjoy his childhood. I also warned him not to trust that scheming bitch Kikyo Takagi.
Kikyo Takagi was an entry level data processor at the Taisho Corporation. The only thing she had going for her, other than her typing ability, was her looks. Kikyo was a petite little fireball that, while attractive, was cocky and spoiled, something you wouldn't expect from someone working for minimum wage. She caught sight of Inuyasha and seduced him. She played that innocent girl role long enough to snag him and get a promotion before her true colors showed. I knew from the beginning that she was a bitch and tried to tell my brother that she was just using him. He didn't believe me and didn't want to hear anything that contradicted to his owns views of Kikyo. It was then that I hired an old friend of mine named Naraku Onigumu to do a little digging.
Naraku and I attended the same private schools and even though he and I weren't exactly the best of friends he was someone I trusted with matters like these and he was damn good at finding information that no one else could. Naraku's family made their fortune in creating one of a kind jewelry. Everyone from celebrities to members of the royal family came to the Onigumu's for custom work and while Naraku's family was sought after jewelers he decided to perform a different kind of service. He ran an expensive and thorough detective service and within a week of me hiring him he had some information waiting on my desk the next morning.
Inside were pictures of Kikyo and some human fucking in the apartment my brother paid for. The pictures were clear and the tape was digitally perfect. There was no way Inuyasha could see these and deny it was his bitch. With further investigation I found out that the human Kikyo was cheating on my brother was a junior vice president at the Sun Corporation. The Sun Corporation had been our rivals for the last year and a half and while they couldn't compete, lately they had been making products that were similar to some of the prototype's we had been marketing.
When Inuyasha found out he was hurt and pissed. Kikyo was fired and she lost her apartment. Since then she has started working for the Sun Corporation and has been using all her energy to be photographed with Hojo Tanaka, the human she cheated on my brother with, and to say slick things about Inuyasha in the lesser tabloids that weren't under influence of the Taisho Corporations.
I watched Inuyasha mope around for a couple of weeks before I decided to do something about it. My mate Rin owned and ran a dating company with a friend of hers from college. The woman's name was Kagome Higurashi. Kagome was only twenty-one but the girl was just the type of woman I could see my brother with. From what Rin had told me the girl was genuine, was a hard worker, and took pride in herself. She was one of the few humans who was openly and truly accepting of both youkai and hanyou's.
Once everything came out about Kikyo I hired Naraku to do a general check on Kagome Higurashi. Kagome was a whiz kid. She graduated high school at fifteen and breezed through college in three years. Kagome had majored in business and graduated from Tokyo's premiere University with a perfect 4.0 with offers to several companies, including a marketing position in the Taisho Corporation earning a little over six figures right out of college. Kagome took the offer from my company and worked there for a little under a year before giving in her notice and starting the Shikon Dating Service with Rin.
The pictures were in order from her high school years and until most recent and the girl definitely blossomed over time. Her younger pictures were of a cute teenage girl but the look in her eyes was older than her age. She seemed to have gone through some hard times in life and didn't like the bullshit. I liked that about her. She and Kikyo favored each other faintly, their height and coloring were the same, but Kagome had a better body type. Her figure was a curvy hour glass shape, her lips were plump, and her grayish blue eyes were beautiful. She had long black hair that fell halfway down her back in perfectly styled layers, and she dressed incredibly well. Yes, Kagome was the perfect woman for my brother and hopefully he wouldn't fuck it up. I promptly picked up the phone and called Rin so that she could set up a meeting between me and Miss Higurashi.

I was in my office going over some papers when Rin walked in. Rin, ever the stylish woman, had her blonde hair was up in a neat French Twist, and was dressed in a gray suit was tailored perfectly to for her body. A lavender camisole was visible underneath her suit jacket and it complimented the gray pinstrip suit perfectly. Her diamond Cartier earrings hung from her delicate ears and a matching ring sat on her right ring finger while her engagement ring and wedding band sat on her left ring finger. She sat down on the plush leather chairs across from me before smiling and saying she needed a favor.
"And what is that Rin?" I asked her as I continued to highlight key phrases on the papers in front of me.
"My husband Sesshy wants to meet you," she said.
"Why?" I asked, "I've been working with you for the last two years and he never saw fit to meet me before."
"I don't know but he said it was important and that if you do lunch than he'll treat you," Rin replied.
"That's without question," I replied as I grabbed my date book and went over my schedule.
"I'm free today around one so I can meet him either at his office at one thirty or at the restaurant," I replied.
"Great!" Rin exclaimed as she leaned over and hugged me before leaving to head to her own office.
I watched the cheerful woman walk out of my office before going back to my paper work. I loved Rin to death because it seemed nothing could get her down. She just enjoyed life and that was hard to come by now and days. I made some calls and faxed copies of the paperwork I had been doing to Rin's office before I pushed back my leather work chair and headed to the small closet across the room. I grabbed the black blazer that matched my skirt and shrugged it on to cover my somewhat revealing lace bustier before grabbing my purse and walking out of my office.

I had just logged off my computer when I heard the faint sound of heels clicking on the marble floor outside my door. Sure enough my secretary buzzed me telling me that a Ms. Higurashi was here to see me. I told Yumi to tell Ms. Higurashi to come in five minutes later a confident business woman walked in. Her perfume was soft and floral and her suit left enough to be imagined. She offered me her small hand with a polite, "It's nice to meet you Mr. Taisho."
"And you as well Ms. Higurashi," I replied before asking her if she was ready for lunch.
She nodded and I buttoned the two bottom buttons of my steel gray suit before leading her out of my office and towards the lobby of the building where my car would be waiting. I waited until we were seated at the restaurant before I brought up why I wanted to meet with her.
"What do you know about my family?" I asked her once our salads came.
She frowned before saying, "Not much other than there's your father who started the Taisho Corporations sixty years ago, and then there's you and your brother who each own twenty percent of the company, which with your father's fifty percent, allows you to control everything without the board's say."
I nodded with a smile. She definitely was only into business and could care less about the social aspect. "So you know nothing about my brother?"
"No. I've never even seen a picture of your brother," she replied before eating a bit of her salad.
"Well he's why I asked to speak with you," I started. "My brother, Inuyasha, had a bad break up with female a little over four months ago and hasn't been dating since. There's going to be a business gala in a couple of weeks and he has to attend."
"And what does that have to do with me?" she asked me as the waiter came and took what was left of our salad and placed our entrée’s in front of us.
"My brother's ex will, unfortunately, be there seeing as she's now working at a competing firm. She will undoubtedly be there with the guy she performed her various indiscretions with. For that reason alone Inuyasha can't attend the gala alone and that's why I need you," I replied.
"Why ask for me? Rin is fully capable of finding a girl for Inuyasha to attend the party with," I replied.
"Yes, she could if that was what I wanted but it's not. I need a professional woman, someone who makes her own living, is knowledgeable of what she speaks and is attractive. You fit the criteria and it would be a personal favor if you spent some time with my brother and escorted him to this function, and a few other public functions until he starts dating again," I replied.
She looked at me in shock for a minute before saying, "Did you talk this over with your brother?"
"That's not important. What is important is if you will agree to this," I replied.
"It is important because it would be awkward coming up to him if he has no ideas this is an arragement. I don't want to send him mixed signals and have him think its more to our relationship than there is," Kagome replied.
Yes, she was definitely perfect for the job. "Don't worry about it Ms. Higurashi. My brother will definitely know about the arrangement by the time the two of you meet and I can guarantee you he will be on his best behavior."
I paid the bill once we finished our lunch and dropped her off at her car. She promptly turned to me and thanked me for lunch before telling me she'd call me in the morning with her decision. With that being said she slid in the driver's seat of her car and drove back to her own office.

It was Saturday and Inuyasha and I had just finished our weekly spa when I sat him down and said, "Now I have your word that you'll behave and treat this woman like you have manners?"
Inuyasha just grunted and headed into his bathroom and adjusted the tempterature of his shower water before pulling off his clothes and heading under the steaming spray. I rolled my eyes and grabbed an extra towel to wipe the sweat off my brow before saying, "If you fuck this up Yash, I will hurt you. It took a lot of doing to get her to agree to this so at least give it a chance."
"A chance to what? You said it yourself that this is business for her. All I have to do is 'act like a good little puppy' in the public and then we both go our separate ways," he replied as he washed the dirt and blood from his hair.
"Just because it starts off as business doesn't mean it has to end up that way. The girl is beautiful and genuine Yash. Not every female is like the bitch," I replied.
He just ignored me. I rolled my eyes at his stubborn-ness before turning around and heading to the door of the bathroom, "Oh! And Kagome's coming by today to get to meet you. I told her to swing by around five so she should be here in an hour or two." Inuyasha just waved me off as he wrinsed the scented shampoo from his hair.

Kagome
It was about an hour before I was supposed to be at Inuyasha's house and instead of heading out to my car to start on the length drive to his estate I was in my closet covered in my bra and panty set trying to find something appropriate to wear to this meeting. It was business but it was also personal and I didn't want to wear anything that would give him the wrong impression. From what I could find on Map Quest Inuyasha Taisho's house was in the middle of nowhere almost and so that left out anything semi formal and any business suit because heels were out of the question. I was tempted to call Rin and ask her what to wear but as close as the two of us were I knew it would get back to he 'Sesshy' so I decided to just go casual and not worry about what Inuyasha would or wouldn't think.
I grabbed a pair of low rise cropped jeans. I pulled them on and buttoned and zipped them once I was sure that the top of my panties were covered. I then grabbed a white leather belt and looped it around my hips and buckled them before grabbing a pair of white ankle socks and pulling them over my dainty feet. I then grabbed my tan corduroy blazer and pulled it on. I buttoned the two buttons before heading into the bathroom to do something with my hair.
I grabbed a white hair tie off of the sink and quickly brushed my hair up into a neat high ponytail, using the hair tie to contain it before twisting it into a bun using a couple of bobby pins to hold it. She sprayed her hair with some sheen and rolled on some clear gloss before heading back into her bedroom. She grabbed her white and tan sneakers and slipped them on, tying the laces quickly before heading to her dresser and grabbing her Stella perfume and sprayed it lightly in the air and walked through the mist. She then grabbed her car keys and a print out of the directions before leaving her apartment and making her way out to Inuyasha's house.
