Moonlight

Chapter 5

Nerves.

“Sesshoumaru-san?” Jaken’s voice rang through after knocking on the door.

“Enter.” He said without even looking up from his paperwork.

“Your 11 o’clock appointment is here.” Jaken informed him.

“I’ll be there in a second” he answered still not looking up.

“Yes Sesshoumaru-san.” Jaken waits at the door for his boss to be done.

Sesshoumaru finished signing his name for one of the paperwork and getting up from his desk, he hands the paper to Jaken as he made his way over to the conference room.

Looking through the glass of the conference room, he saw a young woman in a skirt suit outfit. Her black hair in a bun, the back of her jacket, a large red bow ties behind her back. Her skirt hugged her hips nicely, showing off her round curvaceous butt, a nice tucked pleat below her round bottom. Her legs stretched out from below the skirt as she stood there in stiletto heels looking at one of the paintings in the room.

He was shocked when he enters the room and she turns to face him. Standing before him was Kagome, dressed in that exquisite business suit. Her black suit jacket, a traditional lapel collar and fits her perfectly. Hugging the curves of her full breast. At the waist was a huge obi band in red with chrysanthemum embroidery and butterflies on it, that apparently ties behind her. Her skirt hugs her hips perfectly, accentuating her curves and showing off her long legs from the front as it did from the back. Her red toes sticking out of her peeped toe Mary Janes.

“Sesshoumaru-san, this is Kagome Higurashi, here to represent Higurashi International about the expansion into Singapore project.” Jaken introduced.

“Thank you Jaken. Kagome, have a seat, please.” He motion with his hand towards the desk in the middle of the room, Jaken leaves closing the door behind him.

“Thank you.” She walks towards the conference table and sat down in front of a pile of folders she’d brought with her.

She is gorgeous. He thought. Now, he wanted to see how much she knew about the business aspect. She was here to get Tashio Inc. involved in her father’s shipping company. He’d probably agree but he wanted her to work for it. He was going to get as much mileage out of this as possible. Now that he knew it was her who’s handling the contract, he’ll make sure she meets him for a few lunches and perhaps even dinner.

He watches and listens to her proposal for his company’s investment. She sat there and showed him her slides and work in confidence.

“So you see, Mr. Tashio, the expansion into Singapore through Higurashi International will only prove to be profitable for both companies. Seeing that your investments will shield a 30 percent for Tashio Inc. from the expansion; and because there is no middle man involve, since all shipping and services are going through all Higurashi Enterprises, profits are just that – profits.” She presented. Her voice, smooth and sexy, without even trying.

He nods at the proposal. It was a great proposal, and actually, he thought, the 30 percent was quite generous, compared to the investment asked. Hell, he’d even agree with half of that just to see what she can do, but overall, he knew she wasn’t naïve and the 30 percent was a sure way for him not to say ‘No’.

He taps his claws on the table as he reads through her proposal again. The silence must have made her nervous because she shifts uncomfortably in her seat and he heard her heart beat starts to pick up. He picks up all the papers and portfolio and stacks them on top of each other.

“Kagome. I’d like to look these over more thoroughly. Right now, I’m starved. Would you care to join me for a light lunch?” He offered.

“Um…well…” She began nervously.

“Hmm…?” His eyebrow raised, a slight smile curves around his lips.

“Sure.” She finally agreed. What could be the harm in having lunch? She thought.

He offers to drive her to a nice restaurant near by. He opens the door for her when they got to garage. He felt her heart beat races just a bit faster each time he was close. He pulled out of the garage and drove for about 15 minutes, she had no idea where he was taking her and they didn’t speak much, she sat in her seat twirling her fingers about, looking outside.

“I thought you said it was close.” She commented trying to fill the silence.

“It will be.” He drove a little further out and pulled into a beautiful tall building. “The restaurant is in here.” He announced.

She follows him as he led her into the tall building. Getting into the elevator, he pressed the 65th floor button and they waited as the elevator rises and took them to their destination.

They were seated near the window and she could see the beautiful view below. She looks down and saw the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. She’d never eaten here before and she's enjoying the view tremendously.

This time she ordered a quick chicken salad and an orange juice. He ordered the sushi special and some water. She sat staring at her lunch, moving the pieces of lettuce and chicken around.

This was a baaadddd idea. She concluded as she sat there shifting nervously about. His eyes were on her she can tell, and she tried not to make eye contact.

She was uncomfortable but she tried to make the most of it, her heart racing, remembering her dream in the Lincoln Town Car. She begins to blush as she felt the heat rushes through her body. Strange, when her alter ego ‘Eden’ is in charge, she’s never nervous. She’s always in control. Sitting in front of him, she wished she could 'summon' Eden up right now.

“You don’t have to be nervous. I don’t bite.” He told her, startling her from her thoughts.

She nearly choked on her juice. She looks at him and gave him a smile. “Oh? That’s not what I heard Mr. Tashio.” She retorted to his teasing.

“Sesshoumaru would do just fine, Kagome.” He instructed. Amused by the effect he has on her.

“Ok. Sesshoumaru.” She said smiling at him.

He liked hearing his name coming from her lips. It sounded like an angel’s whisper to him. It soothed his soul. His heart throbs and his manhood once again twitched. No one, has ever made him aroused so easily before. And the worst part for him about this, was that he enjoys every second of it.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to discuss more of his matter, over dinner later?” he asked in between bites.

Kami, is he actually asking me out? Is he using this business deal as an excuse? Flattered, she felt herself getting warmer and blushes uncontrollably.

Knowing she was blushing she tries to save herself from the obvious. She smiles. “Mr. Tashio, I’d really don’t like to mix business with pleasure. I’m only here to see you per my Father’s request. If you’re not interested in our project, you can tell me now. If you’d like to take me out to dinner on a personal matter…” She pauses watching his expression, seeing his curious face she continues. “I’d like that. Very much.” She added her blush softening.

He sat there and stared at her, not believing his eyes and ears. She was confident and knew exactly what he was thinking of.

Have I become that obvious? He thought to himself.

“Very well, Kagome. I would like to see you for dinner, later.” He finally replied.

He may be InuYasha’s brother, but he’s nothing like InuYasha….She thought watching him.

He dropped her off at Higurashi International and she went inside, still not believing what had just happened between her and Sesshoumaru. She had agreed to go out on a date with him. Her head was now spinning, she didn’t know what compelled her to do it. With her ‘other job’ she didn’t want to get involve with anyone. She knew it would complicate matters. Sighing, she walks into her office and tried unsuccessfully to resume her work. Her mind kept running back to her dinner date tonight with Sesshoumaru. She’d have to get ready. He was picking her up at 6 tonight. She looks at her watch. It was already 3:15 PM. She’ll have to leave work early. Deciding that she couldn’t concentrate anymore, she told Stacy she was leaving for the day and to call her cell if anything came up. She gathers the rest of the things she might want to look over later and left.

He was actually happy returning back to his office. She had agreed to meet him for dinner that evening and he was going to spend his time making sure that he was going to let her know of his intentions towards her. That she was meant to be his. Entering his office he asked his secretary Kanna to make reservations for one of his favorite restaurants 'ALEX' for 7PM. Making sure that she gives them his name and to book a table near the window. The best one with a view. And ot make sure that the head chef knew he was coming. It was one of the nicer more classy restaurants; the food and the view is beyond words. He left early to go home and change into something more 'casual' than his business suit and pick Rin up from school. She should be thoroughly excited at the surprise visit from him, his happy thoughts ran through his mind excitedly. He couldn't believe he was feeling the way he was. He chuckled lightly at what he'd become ever since he'd mt her.

Rushing around the afternoon, she forgot to ask him where they were going, so she wasn’t sure how to dress. She pulled out a few outfits and decided on a cute white strapless dress with a black ribbon tie under the bust, she thought it was proper and elegant. It could be a dress up or dress down dress in case they go to either. She paired the dress with a satin double-breasted A-line, high collar, jacket with a sash that ties at the waist.

Wrapping her long hair in a bun, she slides the bobby pins on to hold the bun in place. She finishes her hair with a decorative comb of flowers set in Swarovski Crystals.

Her phone rings.

She looks at the caller ID. Unknown.

She flips the phone open as she applies a double set of mascara.

“Hello?”

“Kagome.” His voice came through the receiver. She felt her heart skip a beat.

“Yes…?” She answers softly, blushing. I'm blushing and he's not even here!

“It’s Sesshoumaru. I’m on my way. I’m going to need your address.” He announced.

“Oh…yes.” She gave him her address. “I’m upstairs. Do you need directions?” She asked.

“No. I’m fine. I’ll see you in ten minutes.” He flips his phone close.

Ten minutes? “Umm..Ok.” Her voice filled with nervousness.

Hanging up, she closes her eyes and tries to calm down. She stood in front of her mirror, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

There’s nothing to be nervous about! You deal with men all the time at the club! She chided herself.

Yeah but this is different. I’m actually going on a date! With Sesshoumaru! God I haven’t been on a date in…FOREVER! Her other voice said.

You are hopeless. Her first conscience told her. Realizing she was loosing it a little she took one last deep breath.

“I can do this.” She said softly to herself. Grabbing her purse, she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do. Should I invite him in? Or do we just leave? Shit, I’m so out of this dating thing!!

A knock at the door, made her jump in her own heels. She had to laugh at herself for acting like a crazed teenager over some crush. Sighing she opens her door and smiles at him. Dresses in a grey polo sweater with silver collar and trim on the short sleeves, and sanded flat-front straight leg pants, he greets her with a simple “Hello”.

Kami, he looks so good! She’d seen him in his suits, and button down shirts, and even traditional Japanese formal wear, but she’s never seen him so casual yet sophisticated at the same time. Swallowing hard she managed to muster a small “Hi” finally.

“You look...lovely." He commented, his eyes scanning every part of her body. She thanked him softly.

"For you.” He handed her a single long stem red rose. The thorns have been removed and the stem was wrapped with a silk ribbon tying to a bow at the bottom.

“Um…thank you.” She said graciously, sniffing the rose, the fragrance was wonderful. “Umm..Uh..Would you like to come in?’ She asked softly.

“We’d better go. I made reservations for seven.” Sesshoumaru responded, he didn’t want any more temptations than what she was already doing to him.

“Ok. Be right out.” Leaving the door open, she runs inside and set her rose on the coffee table. He noticed that her little apartment was quite simple and she had pictures of her little brother on the chestnut drum table next to the couch.

Running back out, she locks the door behind her and followed him down the stairs to his car. He opens the passenger door for her again and she gets in. Nervous, her heart sounded like loud drums in her ears. Knowing that he was full Youkai, she tried with all her might to settle her nerves so he doesn’t pick up her flustering.

Her heart throbbed like a thunderstorm in his ears. He continues to be casual around her, not wanting to embarrass her. He enjoyed the fact that he could make her heart thumped just so. The sensitive side of Kagome was so raw for him, it amazed him how she could be so different on stage. It was like witnessing two completely different persons.

He drove them to ALEX, a gorgeous restaurant at the top of the Westin Hotel building in Tokyo.

They were early so she walks along the small park right outside the building. The leaves had fallen and their footsteps made little crunching noises as the dried leaves crumpled below their soles. A few ducks quack around the pond in the park. Walking side by side next to him, she looks up and smiles. Her hands tucked inside her coat. She watches the ducks waddle around the pond and one ran off from the group and waddles itself around the naked trees. She laughed, thinking the duck was silly. Her laughter filled his ears and he had to smile down at her. She was so beautiful in his eyes and the little stroll was unexpectedly very fulfilling. He was almost regretful when he announced to her that it was time they headed inside.

"mmm." She nods in agreement and followed him.

The restaurant had a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji, it was getting dark so she couldn’t see the mountain clearly but the glittering city lights was breath-taking. The menu consisted of the freshest prime Japanese beef, local seafood, and seasonally selected vegetables. All meals were prepared on the spot by Japanese master chefs, the resulting cuisine is personalized and luscious. The unique setting brings together stylized lighting and intricate tapestries to highlight the fusion of Japanese and Western sensibilities. She thought the place was beautiful and she breathed in the different aromas of food with delight.

The Sommelier (wine expert) recommended an '86 Chateau Margaux Cabernet with their meal. He ordered the rack of lambs and she ordered the Kobe beef. Both meals were paired with freshly selected vegetables from the market. She sipped her water looking out at the view.

She had taken her coat off when they got into the restaurant she now sits in front of him with her white strapless dress. He gazes at her well-toned shoulders and neck. His eyes tracing every inch of it. She looks radiant with very little make-up and the simple dress formed around her body nicely.

She turns to see him staring at her and blushes a little. Maybe the strapless was a bad choice...she thought. Smiling she takes another sip of water, holding the glass with both hands. Not really knowing what to say to him, she looks at the water in her glass.

“Really, I don’t bite.” He said, watching her looking at the water in her glass. "And you look lovely" he added sensing her uncertainty.

She looks up at him and smiles. “Sorry. I just…well…” taking a deep breath she continues, “I haven’t done this in a while.” She finally finished.

“Kagome, I find that hard to believe. I’m sure your list of admirers wraps around this building easily.” He flattered, being honest.

Blushing, she shakes her head. “No. I…I haven’t seen anyone for a…long time. Father’s been keeping me busy at work.” Not to mention ‘The Moonlight’ She finished her thoughts quickly.

“Oh?”

“Mmm.” She nods “You?” She asked taking another deep breath. Kami, at this rate, I’m going to pass out or have a serious hyperventilate issue, before this night is even over.

“Me?”

“Yes. You. You’re…I mean…She….” Embarrassed she was going out with him, after she’d seen him with Kagura a few days ago. She couldn’t understand why she was so nervous and stuttering so much. If only she could summon her alter ego and end this night quick. I wonder how ‘Eden’ would handle a date with him?

“Kagura?” He finished for her.

“Um..yes, isn’t she your girlfriend?” She found the courage to ask.

“Girlfriend?”

“Do you always deflect questions with your own?” She asked a little irked

“No.”

“No what?” Confused what he was answering to. No, she’s not his girlfriend? No what?!

“No” he repeated again, enjoying the fact that he was jerking her around. He enjoyed her a little irked at him.

“Arrgghh..Stop being so difficult!” She demanded.

He chuckled a little. “You’re blushing.” He told her.

She wasn’t blushing but she starts to with his words. Taking another sip of her water, she was irritated with him jerking her around.

He sat there admiring her beauty. She was so innocent and light hearted, whereas he remembers Eden being bold and in charge. So sexually raw. Dirty almost. Reminiscing her seductiveness at the club, his fantasies and dream about her. He felt himself getting hot, his eyes tracing Kagome's lips and down her neck…Pulling himself together, he takes a sip of his wine.

The food arrived and she excused herself to the bathroom. He watches her stroll elegantly to the bathroom. Amazed she pulls all these moves without even intending to. He sensed the other men in the restaurant leering at her and he growl in disgust and anger. She was his. She just doesn’t know it yet. But he’ll make sure that she’ll know soon enough.

She didn’t need to go to the bathroom, but she didn’t want to sit there. She was getting uncomfortable and that guilt from her gut was starting to rise again. His avoiding her question about Kagura only made it worse. She set the lid down and made a seat, deciding she wasn’t ready to go back out just yet.

What am I doing here? My life is a mess. She thought to herself, sighing. Is he some two timing player? How did I fall for another Tashio? Didn’t I learn my lesson with InuYasha? They’re brothers aren’t they?

Her thoughts pondered away she did not notice footsteps entering the bathroom quietly. The click of the lock made her look up. She heard soft moaning and giggles. Moving to the side she peered out the crack of her door and saw two women a blonde and a redhead, giggling, caressing each other. Before she could get up to leave the ladies starts to undress each other. Embarrassed, she didn’t know what to do. She sat there listening to the moans and giggles from the women.

She peered through the door attachment again and noticed that the blond had straddle herself on the sink and the redhead was in between her legs. The blonde ran her hand through the other’s hair and pulls her head in closer. While the redhead’s hands reaches up, squeezes her breast and pinches her nipples, making her moan louder.

Blushing she turns away from door attachment as she listened to the moans, lapping sounds, and sucking. Her heart races and she didn’t know what to do. She covered her ears with her hand to block some of the noises away. She's never heard someone having 'sex' before and , the noises she heard was turning her on; she felt guilty and flustered.

“Mmm…right there.” She heard one said. “Yes…yes…oh baby you’re so good..”

She heard more moans and followed by slapping sounds and louder moans. Then she heard the moans muffled by what sounded like kisses.

“Harder..please…harder….faster…” muffled sounds…moans…."Yes! Yes! Right there! Don't stop! I'm there...I'm there...Ahhhhh!"

Noticing she was gone for a long time, he’d wonder if she ran off. Getting up from the table he decided to go check on her to make sure she was ok. Approaching the ladies’ room, his demon ears perk up and he heard loud moans. Curious, he got closer to see if he could make out anything. His first thought of Kagome in there doing something naughty with some man was quickly diminished when he realized the moans weren’t coming from Kagome. He could tell it wasn’t her voice. He heard the moans get louder and muffled followed by another muffled shriek and then heavy breathing. The breathing slowed down and he heard bodies moving and clothes rustling. Stepping aside, he didn’t look when two women opens the bathroom door and walk out, giggling. They shot him a quick glance and holding each others’ hands they pick up their steps and left.

He stood there and waited. He heard soft footsteps treading from inside and minutes later, Kagome appeared. Her face was as red as a tomato. She glances up and noticed him waiting. She looks down at the floor, still red and quietly walks back towards their dinner table.

He realized she must have been trapped and had witness the two ladies’ little sexual escapade in the bathroom.

“Thank you” she mutter softly as he pushes her chair in for her.

He watches as she avoids making eye contact with him. Still embarrassed, she didn’t say much throughout the whole dinner and the ride home. He didn’t know what to do for her.

“Sorry.” He finally said.

“Huh?’

“Sorry, your evening didn’t turn out so well.” His voice melancholy.

“Oh. It was nice.” She said softly, trying to convince him otherwise.

“I’ll do better next time.” He promised her his hand reaches over to touch hers.

She felt her heart jumped and she wanted to melt in the passenger seat.

Sensing her arousal, he withdrew his hand from hers, not wanting to move too fast on her, even though the beast inside of him wanted to pull the car over and take her right then and there. What he wanted from her was something serious and steady, and he didn’t want to run her off by coming on too strong.

He walks her upstairs to her door. She walks in front of him, her heels tapping on the concrete stairs, creating the only sound between them. She was unsure of what she should do or what was next. They reached her door too soon. Fumbling through her little purse she found her keys and slide them in her door. Hearing the latch release, she turns around to see his back to her. He was looking up at the starry sky. Feeling her eyes on him, he turns to face her.

“Thank you – for…dinner and the nice evening.” She bowed graciously.

“Hn. Kagome...” he moves closer to her and she felt her knees getting weak. “I’ll make sure you’ll enjoy yourself more next time.” He felt guilty about what she had witnessed at the restaurant. He knew it had ruined her mood and he was angry with the sluts who couldn’t even control themselves.

“Sesshoumaru. I had a nice time. I did.” She assured him.

“My week is a little swamped, but perhaps if you’re available next Saturday, I’d like to take you somewhere more…private.” He offered.

“Um. I can’t.” She declined I have to be at ‘The Moonlight’ She tries to come up with an excuse so that he doesn’t think that she was rejecting him. “I uh…I have something else planned.” She finished softly.

“Elliot?” He asked before he could stop himself. His jealousy rising from inside. Startled and shocked, she turns and stomps inside her apartment.

The nerve of him!! What?! He’s checking up on me? How does he even know about Elliot? Besides which, it’s none of his damn business!! I can’t believe the nerve!! Arrrgggg!!

He follows her inside. Closing and locking the door behind him, he noticed she’d already shed her jacket and he can feel her anger rising. Her miko power starts to glow around her.

“How dare you!” She screamed at him, shaking. She was so angry she couldn’t even think of what to say.

“Kagome..let me explain” He tried reasoning with her. Trying to save himself from the haste word.

“What? You ask me out on one date and you think you can do whatever you want and snoop around my life? What else did you find out? What kind of underwear I like?!” She threw at him

Pushing the thought of her in her underwear aside he walks up to her and held her shoulders with both his hands, “Kagome…” She was shaking uncontrollably from anger. “I’m sorry. I…didn’t mean to..”

Tears fought its way out of her eyes. Looking at her in this state he wanted to punch himself for being so jealous and acted without thinking. He’d fallen too hard for her. He just wanted her all to himself. Still he had no right to invade her private life and whom she had dated or kept company with.

“Kagome, I went a little too far. I just wanted to…know who my competition was.” Tilting her chin up to meet his gaze, the tears began to roll and made its way down her cheeks. He wipes them away with both his thumbs.

“Competition?” Her voice, quivering with anger. “I am NOT a prize for you to win over Sesshoumaru.”

“No, you’re priceless Kagome.” he coaxes her softly.

“What?! Now, I’m some whore you can’t buy?!” Her anger had risen to its fullest. No matter what he said tonight, she’ll turn it into something negative. Sighing he didn’t know what to say.

In a way, she was flattered he’d gone through the trouble but she was still angry at him. He had no right! She pushes his hands off her and turns her back to him. “Leave. Please. I don’t want to see you again.” She said so soft, it was almost like a whisper.

An invisible sword stabbed right through his gut and twisted it a few times. Biting down, gritting his teeth, he took a step backwards. Taking a last look of her shaking back, in disbelief, he turns his heels to leave.

Then, as he turned to go, he spoke, “Sorry to have interfered in your business. It won’t happen again.”

She didn't respond. She waited until she heard the door closes and she made her way over to lock and dead bolt the thing. Slumping on the ground she let her set cry. Pulling her knees up, wrapping her arms around them, she buried her face in her thighs and let the pain flow out from inside.

He watches from the rooftop while she sat in a ball and cried. He sat there anger brimming and wanting to kick himself in the ass for being so stupid. For letting his jealousy take over and not think before he spoke. He watches as she finally gets up from her little spot, and heads into her room. A few minutes later, he watches as the light was turned off and all he could see was darkness in her apartment.

Naraku sat at his desk, looking out at the Tokyo's night lights. He can hear her footsteps approaching in the distance. She’s come to bring him news and tapping his fingers against each other he waited for her to come into his office. He spins his chair around to face the door as he heard the door knob turn. She enters and he greets her with a smile. Dressed in a white simple cap sleeve button down shirt and a cream skirt, pointed stiletto pumps, her hair rest carelessly down her back.

“Kanna.” he greets her.

“Naraku.” She answers blushing. He could hear the thumping of her heart. She was excited to see him.

“I’m glad you came.” He said in a soft seductive voice.

She blushes again as he gets up from his chair and move towards her. Standing in front of her, his hand reaches behind her neck and pulls her in for a deep kiss. Without hesitation, she welcomes his tongue in her mouth, letting him explore all of her. He rips her shirt off qnd tore off her bra right after. He stares at her beautiful figure and starts sucking her breasts and gently teething her nipples. He was getting hard through his slacks. She unbuttoned his shirt while moaning in pleasure at what he was doing to her. She got down on her knees and undid his pants. He felt her warm hands and nails slide on the outside of his thighs as she pulled his pants down. She put her mouth on his hard shaft through his boxer-briefs and nibbled underneath his shaft, while cupping his ‘jewels’.

Kami, she’s good. Naraku thought.

She reaches inside and pulls off his briefs and his hard shaft sprung out and twitched close to her face. Grabbing her head, he plunge himself into her mouth and starts thrusting into her. He was aroused and wanted it hard and fast. He pulls her up off her feet and drags her over to the floor-to-ceiling window. He pins her against the cold glass and rips her skirt off. She let out a loud moan of surprise of his sudden hunger. Pressing her face hard into the glass, he nibbles and bites on her neck, while ramming himself deep into her. Thrusting hard into her from behind he held her hands above her head with one hand and pushing on her shoulder, he press her hard into him as he thrusts up and forward into her. She moaned louder and louder. He smacked her ass which had her asking for more and he was thrusting harder and harder. He felt himself bursting inside of her and he wet fluid drip down her thighs, running down in between her legs. He slumped into his chair as she stood there still, panting hard. Lighting up a cigar he sat there, with his pants off and just his dress shirt on.

She gathers her shred clothes and draped what she can on herself before throwing his jacket over her.

“So,” Naraku begins, blowing the smoke out. “What have you got for me?”

“He’s apparently taken a liking to some girl. Not the one at the club like you had hoped. He hasn’t tried to make any contact or send her anything. However, he took a young girl out today, he even drove her himself. I believe it was Kagome Higurashi. She had a meeting with him over the Singapore project. Apparently, she thought you asked too much and she’s looking elsewhere for her father. Anyway, he took her out to lunch right after the meeting and I made reservations for them at ALEX for seven earlier this evening.” Kanna reported.

She lights a cigarette herself.

“Hmm…this can be a tad of a problem, Tashio Inc and Higurashi International coming together.” Naraku mumbled softly.

“He took off work early to pick her up at her place. I think he really has something going for her.” She added.

“What of Kagura? What news do you have there?”

“She’s no longer in the picture as far as I can tell. He was never really serious about her in the first place. I think she’s taking it pretty hard.” She said feeling bad for the girl, being used as a pawn in her Father’s devious plan.

“That’s ashamed. I had hoped Kagura would have been more useful to me. Very well, you go back to being his secretary and let me know when something new comes up. And Kanna,”

“Yes?” She turns and wait for him to finish.

“Make sure you get me any news regarding the Americans and their position of handing over their share of the new merger.”

“Yes, sir.”

Tashio Inc will be mine. I will make sure of that. I will bring down the Tashio in little disgraceful pieces!! Naraku finishes his thought before getting dressed to go home.
