Wicked Ways

Rin stepped into the office of the marketing firm, met with a beaming Hiten as Jaken followed soon after. Hiten moved past the girl, letting her make her way back to her own office to set her possessions aside, readying to give her presentation for the materials. The band members were flocked by the office girls as soon as they closed the door behind him.

Miroku had broken into a conversation with Sango, her girlish giggle rising above the noise of the room as Miroku blabbed out some ultra cheesy lines to her. Kagome had pulled Inuyasha aside, showing him to the bathroom as he had requested. Kanna and Amaye were gathered about Kouga, smiling excitedly as they chatted ecstaticly with the dark haired wolf. And Kagura….Kagura had slipped from her room, introducing herself to Sesshomaru with a devilish grin. Obviously, Kagura would be enough of a cockblock for Rin, and it was how Rin wanted it.

She closed her office behind her, staying near the wall as to not draw too much attention to herself as she made her way to the meeting room. Rin stepped to the shades, opening them slightly to pour the yellow heat of the sun into the room. One by one, the band members, urged by their toad-like man of a manager, entered the room, sporatically taking seats here and there. Kagome closed the door behind Hiten as he entered, locking out the leg cog co-workers of the office.

Rin sat in the back corner, her legs crossed as she sat upon a countertop, flipping through a book of notes. Kouga was closest to her, watching her a moment before he blinked, grinning wide. “I know you…” She raised her brown gaze to his dark blue, a slender brow raising as she noticed every face in the room had turned to look at her. “I don’t think you do.” She spoke lowly, but her last word was cut off by Hiten’s screeching reply.

“Ahhh….Rin...don’t lie..you shouldn’t be ashamed to admit your strengths.” He looked to the band before him, gesturing to Rin as he smiled, proud of her image. “This is Rin. She was the model in your pictures for the CD booklet. She’s mainly shy about her photographic abilities.”

Rin shook her head, refusing to allow a blush to show. Her vision raised, caught by Sesshomaru’s amber gaze as he smiled evilly, licking his mouth as she made a disgusted face and turned away. So, she was the one he had hanging on the wall of his bunk in the bus. The photos had come early to them in the project. Her beauty, accented by the contrasting paints and markings upon her pale face as she was dolled up as a full blooded demon. One picture stood out to him. She had been painted with black stripes and silver cat eye contacts. Her black hair blowing across her face as she stood at the edge of a lake. Young girls had been curled about her feet, each one painted to look like a sleeping cherub with black feathered wings.

Sesshomaru kept that picture from the bunch, not allowing it to be reproduce as he felt it caught his breath in a certain way. She had looked so innocently evil. Long nights after partying had found him pleasuring himself to the dark, lustful gaze she held in the photo.

Rin, herself had begun to speak, walking about the table as she handed out black folders, containing proposed layouts for the booklet, she had come up with while listening to their album. Kagome sat slowly, crossing her legs as she sat across from Inuyasha, always making sure she was fiddling with something to keep his attention drawn upon her. Rin sat at the end of the table, Hiten resting against the wall behind her as she spoke to the group before her. “I have devised nine layouts I feel best echo the album’s theme. Seeming that your music is so dark, I feel maybe a demon macabre theme may best suit your look.”

Sesshomaru flipped through the crude layout, his gaze settling upon one of a group of chained men huddled at the feet of a tall, exotic succubus. He raised a brow. This girl had nice taste. Torture, pain, lust….she conveyed it all in her work. He turned to another page, a center layout of the band. Each member accompanied with their own unique caption for their place in the band. His gaze looked up, hearing as Rin spoke of promo posters and T-shirt designs. Her words barely entered her brain as he watched her mouth, feeling himself growing hungry to sate his thirst for her body.

A couple moments later, after a few questions and a short, but friendly parting, Rin stepped from the room, leaving the rest to Kagome. The black hair girl turned to the group, shaking some as she grew nervous with the thought of speaking before one of her favorite music bands of the month. Sesshomaru raised a brow, looking back to the door that Rin had disappeared through. He had lost the chance this time, but then again…arrangements were made to have a private party with the marketing team for the upcoming night. He grinned some, looking through the materials set before him once more. His gaze settled upon another photo of Rin that had been submitted for approval. Her slender, naked form lying across a bed of black shining sheets. Her most sacred parts covered by a thin sliver of material strategically placed over her skin. Her wrists, neck and ankles all bound to chains. Her brown gaze sideglanced to the camera, her pouting lips parted as if she were in a heated moment.

Sesshomaru closed the folder, realizing the meeting had adjurned. His younger brother stepped to him, placing a hand upon his shoulder as he offered him the invitation to lunch with Hiten and Kagome. Sesshomaru rose, stepping past Inuyasha as he nodded, noticing the growing ball of hunger in his abdomen. He would savor this time to scheme, to plan. Rin was going to be his…and she would be his by the end of the night.
