Sesshoumaru dropped his pen and bent down to pick it up. He groaned when blood rushed to his skull then rushed back when he sat back up. He knew he shouldn’t gone out with the guys and participated in a Tequila drinking game. But what choice did he have when Bankotsu, Jakotsu and Kouga suddenly showed up at his doorstep, only to grab him by the arms and throw him into their car?!!
Sesshoumaru ran a hand through his hair and gazed tiredly out through his office window. He didn’t have many memories of last night. Just flashes, a couple of phone numbers written on napkins and a pair of thong he found his pocket.
Sesshoumaru was quite surprised he even gotten home safe and sound, alone, with his clothes and wallet on.
But today he didnt feel like working, not with the killer hangover currently hammering within his skull.
Sesshoumaru turned his gaze to the west and found the skyscraper he was looking for easily. It was his father's, Taishou Industries. He had worked there up until five years ago when he left to build his own business, Sayuri.deSign.
Turning his gaze to the north, there his opponent's skyscraper towered-
-'Itami ga hibi wo kasaneru tabi
yase yuku minikui karada dakishimeta ne
saigo ni natte hitotsu taisetsu na hito wo omoidashita
ashita ni wa hai ni nari suna ni kaeru yo-'
Sesshoumaru looked away when his cell went off and pulled it out of his pocket. He stared at the flashing name Sara and furrowed.
'Who...'
Then he remembered. It was the newly discovered Japanese model, he had been seeing these past weeks. Or has reality would describe it, meeting up at her place to have sex then leave couple hours later.
No cuddling or talk. Simply sex.
Perhaps it was time to wrap up the relationship before she wanted something else, something serious.
Sara was without any doubt a beautiful woman with a long swan-like neck, violet eyes and silky black hair cut jaggedly after a fashion show she had been in few days ago. But Sesshoumaru has been with beautiful women before and Sara like the rest - was great in bed but even though she tried, he was not interested.
"Sesshoumaru-dono, there is a phone call for you sir," He heard his secretary Kaede say through the speakers on the office phone.
"Busy." Sesshoumaru replied, still staring at his vibrating cell.
But when Kaede went silent on the other end, Sesshoumaru sensed something was up and tucked the cell back into his pocket, still vibrating as Sara tried to reach him for the third time.
Sesshoumaru heard Kaede sigh heavily before finally breaking the suspense silence by saying,
"Sesshoumaru-dono...it's your father..."
Outside the office, Kaede could clearly imagine how her boss' back stiffened and his eyes hardened only for a second before it was gone and his eyes gained their normally blank stare. She knew he and his father weren’t close, and Sesshoumaru went out of his way to avoid him; to the point he didn’t bother going to his old's man birthday party and let Kaede call the family house at the last minute to inform them he wouldnt be coming...
"Put him through." Sesshoumaru's deep voice startled her.
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-dono,"
Kaede pressed the little red button and the second later Touga Taishou was put through.
"...Sesshoumaru..."
"Sir..."
Then it went quiet, neither knowing what to say.
If they had had a normal father-son relationship, they would be asking how the other's day was, what news in business world had they heard - should they perhaps meet this weekend and catch up?
But Sesshoumaru and his father didn’t have a normal relationship. Come to think about it, Sesshoumaru wouldn’t even call whatever they had a relationship. It had been so for years, ever since Touga walked out on his mother and him to live with Izayoi and Inuyasha. He wouldn’t mind never seeing him again, but the wishful thought got crushed when his mother died and he was forced to go and stay with his father and his new family. Sesshoumaru had loathed every single moment in that house and often locked himself in his room. Or went out, disappearing for hours until sleep called him home.
"What are you doing, son?"
Sesshoumaru tensed at the word "son" and knew his father wanted something from him.
"I’m about to have a meeting."
"Can you postpone it?"
"I cant. I apologize, sir."
The other end went silent again. Sesshoumaru held back a sigh and waited. He wondered what his father wanted. They hadn’t spoken since...since?...that invitation to his birthday party (which he didnt go to) and that was...hm...four-maybe six months ago...?
When it seemed his father didn’t have anything more to say, Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to speak when Kaede knocked then stuck her head through the door.
"Sorry Sesshoumaru-dono, but Miss Higurashi and her manager have arrived."
Sesshoumaru glanced quickly her way and nodded.
"Father-"
"-I heard," Touga cut in, "Another time than Sesshoumaru. Bye."
It took few seconds before Sesshoumaru's brain registered the click. He put down the phone and leaned back in his chair, staring at the phone - now what was that all about?
"Sesshoumaru-dono?"
Sesshoumaru looked up and caught Kaede’s eye. Kaede held his stare and nearly asked if everything was okay. It was rare Taishou Sr rang out of the blue, but was even more rare was the slight furrow between her boss’ brows.
Sesshoumaru got up and straightened his suit, and any questions concerning the phone call remained unheard.
"Let’s go."
"Hai, Sesshoumaru-dono." Kaede bowed and followed after.
"Flight to Singapore has been delayed. Please remain calm. I repeat, flight to Singapore-"
"-Sweetheart, are you sure you are alright? I can come and get you-"
"-No, mum. It's okay, don’t worry."
Kara smiled when her mother sighed over the phone. She could clearly see her furrow worriedly and tug her skirt, a nervous habit of hers.
"If you say so..." She said with a soft sigh then suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! By the way, did you meet up with the stewardess your father hired?"
Kara paused then looked over her shoulder. The pretty brunette stewardess, Minako, replied instantly with a big, bright smile and Kara nearly cringed, but managed to smile back, though a bit forced...
"Yea, mum. She is here..." Kara replied, turning away.
"Great! Okay, I'm letting you go so you can over sooner! I can’t wait to see you!" Her mother giggled happily.
Kara chuckled, hearing the excited note in her mother's voice.
"Oh, really? I was beginning to believe you rather spoke to me over the phone then seeing me personally..."
"Takara, that's nonsense! Of course I want to see you, honey! It's just-"
"-Well okay then mum, talk to you later!"
Kara cut in and quickly disconnected the call. She sighed then placed the phone back on its hook. As she bent down to pick up a duffle bag guilt knotted in her stomach, but Kara knew she did the right thing. If she had let her mother finish her sentence, she would've spent another fifteen minutes talking on the phone.
Kara pulled the strap over her shoulder and slung the bag onto her back. She then turned around and walked back to Minako, who was waiting patiently by her luggage.
"Alright, let's go."
"Hai. If you follow me, Nakano-sama."
Minako started walking away while pushing the luggage cart and Kara followed quietly behind. Like most big airports, Tokyo International Airport was busy and filled with people rushing in and out of shops and restaurants. Families with babies, toddlers and older children passed her, heading to their designated gates. Business men and women, airport employees, backpackers were just few of the many other peoples Kara saw.
After few twists and turns, Minako and Kara neared the exit where a taxi was waiting. The taxi driver, Taichi, met them halfway and took Kara's duffle bag and suitcases. She thanked him then reached for the passenger door when Minako opened it.
"Oh, thank you."
Minako smiled then bowed.
"Your welcome, Nakano-sama," She replied as Kara got in, "And also, welcome to Japan!"
She closed the door and the driver's door opened the second later. Taichi got in and started up the car. Minako stepped back and waved when they drove off. Kara turned in her site and waved back, then turned away when Minako headed back into the airport.
After been stuck in an airplane for hours, she had finally landed! Kara leaned her head back and sighed heavily. She was exhausted, hungry - and smelled, she noted, wrinkling her nose.
"We're here." Taichi announced all too soon and stopped the car.
Kara fluttered her eyes and sat up. She looked out the window and smiled when she saw the two-stored house. She rubbed her face and got out. Taichi had already placed most of her luggage on the pavement.
"I can help you carry them, if you want..."
"No, it's okay." Kara reassured with a smile and paid him.
Taichi thanked her then got into his car, driving off to whatever destination. Kara sighed then started walking up the stairs to the front-door and pressed the button. A buzzing sound echoed from the other side of the door and she shifted restlessly to keep herself warm while she waited for someone to come and open the door.
'Gahh! He is taking forever!' Kara thought sourly when the front-door opened and a young man seeming be in his late twenties stepped out. He leaned onto the doorframe, folding him arms across his chest and brushed back his black bangs from his azure eyes with a hand and grinned widely.
"Well, will you look at that..."
"Kouga!"
Kouga chuckled when Kara jumped into his arms and buried her face in his chest. He carefully wrapped his arms around her waist, so he wouldn´t disturb the child sleeping in her arms. He pulled away and gave Kara a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Come in, come in," He said, stepping aside so she could enter, "Man, I'm so glad you made it."
"You better be! It took nearly forever to get here." Kara chuckled, scrapping snow off her boots on a rug.
"I know! I remembered when I came to see you," Kouga groaned at the memory whilst stepping out to get the luggage.
Kara smiled and took off her boots. Kouga returned shuddering, scowling and muttering curses.
"Damn! It’s cold!"
"Hehe, well, you wanted a winter wedding."
Kouga snorted and sent Kara a tedious look before heading back out to get the last bag.
"Hell no. Ayame wanted one. Something about everything looking soo magical covered in snow."
"Are you nervous?"
"Nah. I just want it over and done with, you know. People aren’t kidding when they say brides turn into monsters. It’s been hell, Kara!"
"Ooh, the bridezilla-mode."
"Ooh, my ass! I nearly got killed because I didn’t care which flowers we should have on the reception."
Kouga rolled his eyes, shaking his head and started up the stairs where the guestroom was located carrying two suitcases and the duffle bag. Kara laughed. She remembered when Ayame had called her that day, complaining over how insensitive Kouga was. That he didn’t care about her or her dream wedding.
"He just growled like an animal and yelled; just choose the damn flowers, woman! Does it look like I care?! Who the HELL does he think he is?! I'm telling you, Kara, someone is going to lose their balls - and it ain’t me!"
"Really Kouga, you should be more careful. Especially now, with the wedding is just around the corner."
"Yea, I know," He sighed then looked over his shoulder, grinning, "So do you pity me enough to offer some comfort..."
"Kouga?! Kami, you are a married man!"
"No, soon-to-be married man. Until then..."
"And to this day, I'm still wondering why Ayame agreed to marry you..."
"Ah, and that shows how good I am." He laughed and opened the door to the guestroom.
He set the bags next a wardrobe and stretched his arms above his head, grinning widely when Kara shook her head at him and walked pass him. She stopped by the bed and pulled back the covers. Shifting her arms, she carefully laid down the sleeping child. The little girl groaned and clung to her jacket.
"...mum?"
"It’s alright, honey. Go back to sleep. I’m just going to remove some of your clothes so it wont get too warm while you’re sleeping."
Kara smiled when her baby opened her eyes and blinked at her sleepy. Carefully, Kara removed the mittens, jacket and shoes. When she went to pull off the scarf and sweater, her daughter whined, annoyed that her sleep was being disturbed. Kara just chuckled and shook her head when Yuki fell back on the pillows and rolled onto her side after she was done and fell soon back asleep again. Kara stood up and pulled up the covers then leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Hey, let’s get you something to eat. Knowing you, you probably hungry."
"Yea." Kara answered Kouga and gave her baby one last look before leaving the room with him.
That's all. Later!
Translation on the Lyric-part
"I finally remember the most important person
tomorrow I will become ash and I will return to sand
the cherry tree I see from my window
I want to sleep under this cherry tree".
