Chapter 2: Unexpected Visit and breakfast after

 

Another day she woke up just minutes before 7 she ran into the bathroom, she jumped into another business suite and ran out with her brief case and cell phone in hand. This was a usual for her, she never seems to get up on time and actually walk or take her time to get to work, was always in a run. Once again she found herself running through the park, knocking down the people in her way old, young she didn't care that very moment. She made a mental note to apologize one of these days. She was just in front of the large building when someone yelled "watch out" once again, she wondered what that someone was always doing standing there and why was it that every morning a car door opened and she slipped on something? She wanted answers for her weird mornings because other wise she wouldn't be able to explain herself to others. She slipped on a banana peel, she braced herself to feel the hard ground on her ass but it never came instead she felt herself standing perfectly fine.

 

"Hmm well isn't this a usual morning, maybe the banana wasn't, but once again thanks to my heels" she mumbled as she fixed her suite and walked inside.

 

From the car that was parked right in front of the building a figure smiled as he watched her. She was something amusing to him. He stepped out with the limo driver following after him.

 

"Mr. Takagi is there anything else I can do for you?" asked the ugly barely meeting average tall man.

 

"No thank you Jaken that will be all" he said.

 

"Yes Mr. Takagi. Miss. Oni" said Jaken.

 

Sesshoumaru looked behind him to see his publicist step out once again.

 

"I can't believe I'm back here again," she said under her breath.

 

He walked forward and through the door that was opened for him.

 

"Good morning" said the doorman.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded and walked into the waiting elevator.

She flopped down. "Wow this time I was early by a second, new record!" she cheered before leaning back on her chair. The soft knock on her door snapped her out of the relaxing stated she was in. "Shippou is that you?" asked Rin walking towards it, she opened and there stood Kagura once more. Rin sighed. "No not you again! I thought you were going to run me over with a car, or was it you that left the banana peel for me to slip over?"

 

Kagura scowled and stepped to the side to let Sesshoumaru take her place.

 

"Oh Mr. Takagi! Good morning" she said with a smile but in the back of her mind she was feeling stupid as ever.

 

"Miss. Goa" his smooth voice called.

 

Rin nodded and walked behind her desk. "What can I do for you today?"

 

Sesshoumaru took a seat while Kagura stood behind him.

 

Rin tried to smile and not look at Kagura, but it was the perky breasts that seem to want to rip out of her top and devour her.

 

"I actually came with an offer," he said.

 

Rin nodded. "Yes I'm listening.” ‘wow this time he came, he must really want to see if I take him up on his offer.’

 

"Well-" Sesshoumaru was cut off a sudden burst through the door.

 

"Rin Goa!" in came a young woman about 25 with dark brown hair tied up in a high pony tail, she had on a black slacks with a white muscle tee.

 

"Sango!" said Rin.

 

"Rin you were suppose to go and pick me up from the air port!" yelled Sango.

 

"But I thought your flight was next Tuesday" said Rin.

 

"Rin I left a message on your damn machine that I was going to leave for today" said Sango with veins popping out.

 

"Sango you know I don't check that stupid thing" said Rin.

 

"Then why do you have it?!" asked Sango.

 

"I don't know it came with the phone and Kohaku thought it was a good idea to have one." said Rin.

 

"Then think of checking it sometimes" said Sango.

 

"I'm sorry" said Rin.

 

"Yeah, its ok you're forgiven I swear one more time and I will kill you" said Sango.

 

"Yup I know" said Rin.

 

Sango looked at Sesshoumaru and then Kagura. "Mr. Takagi, Kagura good morning and sorry that you had to see that."

 

Sesshoumaru nodded recognizing the young woman. Kagura just snorted.

 

Sango glared towards her. "I'll see you later Rin, I want to go drown myself in something strong." said Sango walking out.

 

Rin gave a nervous smile towards Sesshoumaru. "Sorry about that, I hate answering machines they just bug me."

 

"Quite understandable" said Sesshoumaru thinking about his own problem with stoves and ovens. "As I was saying that your company has done many other business with us before."

 

Rin nodded, "Yes I understand Mr. Takagi, but you also have to understand that this year we don't need any advertisement at all, we have all the publicity that we need. I mean I would love to work with you on this one, but I am in charge of the fashion line of this company only and from where I see it there is plenty of publicity, we have a catalog for summer printing as we speak, and of course the materials are all done and ready to be shipped." she said handing him a copy of the summer gown catalog. "You might want to get in touch with Kohaku or maybe Shippou for your offer. I mean I wouldn't mind taking you up on your offer, but I don't want to waste funds on things that are not needed."

 

Sesshoumaru nodded. "Actually Miss. Goa I came here to discuss our company with you."

 

"What? I mean excuse me?" asked Rin.

 

"From what I see you know about the business and how it works, and you don't waste funds on unnecessary things. I thought you would be good for the job" said Sesshoumaru.

 

Rin nodded with a small-confused look on her face.

 

He mentally smiled as he looked at her face, she was beautiful in her expression, but he quickly pushed the thought back.

 

"I see" she said.

 

"Our company does several photo shoots and such with well known model agencies, and I'm sure you know how to handle such things" he said.

 

Rin nodded. "Yes of course, the paper works, the contract, and yes I'm aware of it all."

 

"Well I wanted to ask for your assistance" said Sesshoumaru.

 

"Wow, yeah I'm going to have to get back to you on that one" said Rin.

 

"She turns down ever offer you give her" said Kagura.

 

"It's not that its just I need to think it over and also talk it over with the partners, I'm not the only one who runs this company and the many others, I have to get their consent and such. But I am honored nonetheless of your trust with our company" she said.

 

"That's understandable a good part of running a good business is to see what's best for the company" said Sesshoumaru standing.

 

Rin stood with him. "I would like to keep the paper works if that's possible, I wouldn't mind reading it over and maybe reconsidering it."

 

Sesshoumaru nodded. "The office phone number is there also" he said.

 

"Yes thank you" she said.

 

Sesshoumaru opened the door to be face with Inu-yasha. "Brother" Sesshoumaru stated.

 

"Sessy" said Inu-yasha.

 

Sesshoumaru moved to the side to let his brother in.

 

"Inu-yasha" said Rin with a smile.

 

Inu-yasha smiled and gave her hug. "I was thinking we have breakfast and talk about some things."  

 

"Nope can do have to work" said Rin.

 

"Then I'll help you" said Inu-yasha.

 

Rin giggled and nodded. "Thank you again Mr. Takagi for your offer, and you can expect a call from me regarding my answer" said Rin with a smile.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at his brother then at her. "Yes, thank you for your time Miss. Goa" he said and walked out with Kagura following after him.

 

Rin looked at Inu-yasha who was smirking. "So my brother came to you with an offer huh?" asked Inu-yasha.

 

"Yeah, so?" said Rin as she closed the door.

 

"That's a lot for him you know, I mean he NEVER goes to a client, so I guess your made an impression yesterday" said Inu-yasha.

 

"Nah, we hardly talked" she said.

 

Inu-yasha nodded.

 

"Oh tell that Miroku that Sango is already here" said Rin.

 

"Yeah he's already occupying her time" said Inu-yasha.

 

"Don't worry Kagome will be here soon you'll be set" said Rin.

 

"Yeah, but your sister is a pain in the ass" said Inu-yasha.

 

"But that what makes her special" said Rin doing the quotes with her finger.

 

Inu-yasha chuckled. "So had breakfast yet?"

 

"Nope, had a usual morning" said Rin with closed eyes.

 

Inu-yasha sweat dropped. "Oh I remember those, that's how I met you."

 

Rin laughed and nodded. "Yeah let's get something to eat."

 

"I thought you had to work" said Inu-yasha.

 

"I do I have to read over your brother's offer" said Rin.

Sesshoumaru was in the car waiting for Jaken to fix the 'problem' that suddenly appeared. He looked back towards the building he couldn't help but feel jealous of his brother. He saw Rin, Inu-yasha, Miroku, and Sango walk out. Rin was next to Inu-yasha laughing about something and Miroku was being yelled at by Sango.

 

‘A real couple’ thought Sesshoumaru. He turned towards the front and just closed his eyes and thought about nothing in particular, a certain brown haired woman, who was laughing, thought disturbed by knock on the glass. Sesshoumaru pulled down the window and found Rin waving at him with a smile.

 

"Sorry to bother you Mr. Takagi, but I'm glad your here I wanted to give you back your brief case that you left in my office" said Rin handing him the small silver brief case.

 

It wasn't like him to leave things like that. "Thank you" he said.

 

"Would you like to join us for breakfast?" asked Rin.

 

Inu-yasha then came and stood next to her. "Come on Sesshoumaru, it is the client that's asking" said Inu-yasha with a smirk.

 

Kagura glared towards Rin.

 

"Very well, my car isn't going to be fix any time soon I suppose I could use a cup of coffee" said Sesshoumaru stepping out. "Kagura once the car is fixed then head back to the office, I will be there shortly." said Sesshoumaru as if to tell her don't follow me.

 

She nodded. Rin smiled as she waited for him. Inu-yasha and Miroku smirked. This had to be the first time in a long time Sesshoumaru did anything with anyone else.

 

"So Sango how was your trip?" asked Miroku.

 

"Miroku I already told you it was fine and no I didn't miss you, actually I didn't even remember you until I saw you were on her desk" said Sango with twitching eyebrows.

 

Miroku patted her back and smiled.

 

"This is an interesting change" said Rin.

 

"So where do you want to go?" asked Sango.

 

"Harry’s they make the best omelets!" said Inu-yasha and Rin in unison. 

 

Sango chuckled and Miroku smiled. "You guys are still the same."

 

Rin laughed. "Yeah, but before Inu-yasha could beat me but now that’s changed."

 

"What do mean before?" asked Inu-yasha.

 

Rin looked at him. "Are you challenging me?"

 

"What if I am?" asked Inu-yasha.

 

"Your on dog-boy!" said Rin as she launched herself on a ran.

 

"Hey we didn't count off yet" yelled Inu-yasha running after a laughing Rin.

 

Sesshoumaru watched as his brother ran towards the woman.

 

"Feels like were back in college" said Sango.

 

"Yeah, so what you say we give it another try Sango?" asked Miroku.

 

Sango looked at him with an ‘are you serious look’ before realizing that he was very serious.

 

"I mean I know we have never really been on good terms, but I really like you and wouldn't mind holding off the groping other women for you" said Miroku.

 

Even Sesshoumaru looked at him. ‘What do you know there is a god out there who pity the poor women he gropes’ thought Sesshoumaru.

 

"Dear gods! You would do that for me?" asked Sango.

 

Miroku gave a small smile and nodded.

 

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt...but that includes not groping me, or any other female species alive, wait male too. I don't want to go out with a bi, or gay as much as I like them." said Sango with an image of Miroku grabbing some guy's crotch or ass or something like that came to mind.

 

"No I don't...umm...go that way" said Miroku.

 

"Could have fooled me" said Sango.

 

"Hey what do you mean?" asked Miroku.

 

"well let's put it this way back in college you were really weird I mean remember when we all went to this party and you grabbed some guy’s ass" said Sango with a finger to her forehead.

 

"Sango! I was trying to grope the girl that was next to him, then he moved and...you know the rest" said Miroku.

 

"Well you sure enjoyed yourself from the look on your face" said Sango.

 

"Well he had a nice ass, I mean it was very nicely curved and not to mention firm" said Miroku.

 

Sango looked at him with eyebrows twitching in fear. "Miroku!" she yelled.

 

Miroku smirked and shook his hand around. "Oh I was just joking!" said Miroku. ‘Well about not enjoying it’ thought Miroku.

 

When they finally neared restaurant they saw Rin and Inu-yasha yelling at each other drawing attention.

 

"Hey I got here first and I almost broke the heels to my shoes doing it" said Rin.

 

"No I got here first and those shoes should me considered a weapon with the length, no wonder I thought you grew" said Inu-yasha.

 

"Dog boy I'll kill you!" said Rin grabbing for his hair.

 

"Not if I can help it" said Inu-yasha as he grabbed her hand and pulled her away from his precious locks of fucked up hair.

 

From the public view it was as if he was pulling her closer, but of course one who completely understood the two knew better, or had a closer view knew what was going on. Since Sesshoumaru lacked both to him it was as if his dear brother was trying to embrace his fiancé. Sesshoumaru sat down at the table and looked up at the waitress.

 

"Yes I would like a cup of coffee" said Sesshoumaru.

 

Rin and Inu-yasha just looked at Sesshoumaru. "I guess he won" said Rin standing behind Sesshoumaru. "Yeah" said Inu-yasha behind her.

 

Sesshoumaru moved his chair so Rin could sit and order.

 

"Yeah give me a strawberry smoothes, and a bagel with butter and a side order of scrambled eggs" said Rin. She then turned towards Sesshoumaru. "Hey is that all your eating Mr. Takagi? you know that's bad for your health" said Rin. before Sesshoumaru could say a word. "Give me um...banana chocolate chip muffin with that."

 

The location of the restaurant was in a small park, where there were tables for twos and threes. They each picked a table, so it was Sango and Miroku to a table, then Rin the middle of the two brothers. The waitress placed their plates down on the tables and left them to their own business.

 

"Here you go Mr. Takagi I order this for you" said Rin handing Sesshoumaru the muffin on the fine china plate which came with fancy restaurants.

 

"No thank you my coffee will do" said Sesshoumaru.

 

"Hey if he doesn’t want it then I'll take it banana chocolate chips muffins are my favorite" said Inu-yasha who was stuffing his mouth with his pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausages and toast.

 

"Yeah well this one is for Mr. Takagi and I know you like them that's why I thought Mr. Takagi might like it as well" said Rin. She turned towards him. "Here Mr. Takagi let’s split the muffin and well call it the beginning of our partnership" said Rin with a smile.

 

"Didn't you say you wanted to go over the contract?" asked Sesshoumaru.

 

Rin smiled and shrugged. "If you eat this muffin then I'll give you my word" said Rin.

 

Sesshoumaru looked at her, she was such a strange woman. He took the half of the muffin and took a bite as he watched her munch away at hers giving Inu-yasha a few bites in between. So this was the beginning of their partner ship huh? How strange.
