AN: Here's another one shot! Fair warning, this is T-rated! Only mentions of sex. I enjoy writing this pairing within the business world so this will not be the only one. Hope you like. R&R please! Heartache A sigh escaped Rin as she looked up at the departure board. Her flight was on time. In thirty minutes she'd be able to board the jet that was taking her on a one way trip to New York City and away from Japan. Away from the only home she'd ever had, the only place she couldn't stay in anymore. Emotions bubbled up in her as she slung her carry-on bag over her shoulder and headed to her gate. Angrily she forced back the tears that threatened to fall. 'No!' She demanded. 'No more tears. You've cried enough over this, no more. This is for the best.' But no matter how many times she told herself that she never believed it. Just outside of the gate the large TV caught her attention just in time to see his picture flash across the screen…along with hers. Unable to look away, Rin vaguely heard what the reporter was saying. "Happy news in the business industry." The cheery, overly make-uped woman said as she smiled brightly, revealing a set of blinding white teeth. "The long awaited wedding of Takahashi Sesshomaru-sama, CEO of Takahashi Enterprises, and Onigumo Kagura-sama, heiress to Onigumo Inc., has finally gone underway. After nearly a six month long engagement the royals of business are finally uniting and nothing seems like a more perfect fitting. The Takahashi and Onigumo Corporations have been…" Everything else the woman said was drowned out by the sound of Rin's heart finally and fully breaking. Now there was nothing that could keep her from getting on that plane. The man she loved, and had since she'd met him, was now married. She knew this was how things would end for her but that didn't stop the pain…or the memories. It was hard to believe that three years ago she'd walked into one of the top businesses in the eastern hemisphere and landed a job…by accident. That day was still fresh in her mind. She'd gone with her best friend Kagome to bring Inuyasha his lunch and had literally run into Sesshomaru, Mr. Cold Hearted Vice President at the time. Her first thought was that he was the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen…and then opened his mouth. He'd been rude and she'd lost her temper, actually yelling at him and impressing his father so much that he hired her as his son's secretary. Both parties had vehemently protested until Rin was remind of her financial issues and reluctantly accepted. Surprisingly, after the first month or so, working with the emotionless "Prince of Business" turned out to be…quit nice. Once she got used to the annoyed looks, demands, and schedules, of course. That was when she started to get to know him; his likes and dislikes, his quirks, his actual expressions, and (most importantly) what made him smile. That last one, it turned out, she excelled at doing and made a goal of accomplishing at least once a day. She'd recognized early on that she was truly falling for her boss but never expected anything to happen. After all, what could the richest, handsomest man in all of Japan see in his lowly secretary? Apparently he'd seen something he liked. On more than a few occasions she'd caught him watching her, simply staring at her with a…different look in his golden eyes. Rin had never asked him why he watched her, she simply enjoyed the attention while not wanting to learn that the reason might have been something bad. And it wasn't like she hadn't been watching him, imagining things that had practically been foreign to her her, some days it had been pure torture walking into work, haunted by the hot dream she'd had the night before and seeing the object of that dream seated sexily behind the desk that had played a major role in said dream. But, she was proud to say, that for over a year, she followed the unspoken rule; look but don't touch. At least until that fateful night. And what a wonderful night it had been. Rin squeezed her eyes at the memory bombarding her. As if it had happened yesterday she could still hear the rounds of congratulations going around, feel the proud air in the room as everyone patted their backs to a job well done. She could still feel all the stress built from the weeks prior melting from her shoulders. And clear as if it was happening before her now she could see Sesshomaru turning from the party and heading for his office. She'd followed him with the intent of forcing him to return to the celebration that wouldn't be possible if not for him. In no way had she been prepared for their own private celebration locked behind his office door. Phantom memories of his touch played across her body, heating her once again. Never had she imagined him being so…gentle with her, making her first time so memorable she'd actually cried a little. After that night things really changed between them. Often times she'd find herself in the same position, with him as the instigator, until he'd taught her to be more confident in that particular field that she soon found him at her mercy. For the past year and a half that was how things were between them. In the office, around others, they were strictly business (except on a few occasions) but once they were alone… Rin groaned and shook her head, forcing all those pleasurable memories away. She did not need to be thinking of all those nights she'd spent with Sesshomaru. It was only making what she had to do that much more painful. For Kami's sake, he was currently getting married! "It's not fair." She whispered to herself, finally turning from the TV and continuing to her gate. Life was never fair, a lesson she should have learned years ago when her parents died. But it seemed as if there would always be a part of her that would hope that fate would pity her and allow her true happiness. Once again, just before the entrance to her gate, something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. Pausing, she leaned down and picked up the magazine. The magazine announcing Sesshomaru's engagement to Kagura. A picture of the two standing close together covered the front of the magazine and Rin knew that if she was to open it she'd find more images of them together. One sentence on the cover blazed at her; Finally, the perfect couple. Angrily she tossed the magazine down. Why did Kagura have to be so damned beautiful? Why did she get to be the daughter of the Takahashi's rival? Why did she get to marry the man Rin loved? And why did Rin have to suffer? None of this was right! She had half a mind to march down to the shrine where the wedding was being held and put an end to it somehow. But she wouldn't…out of respect for Sesshomaru and his family she wouldn't do what her heart wanted her to. After all he'd made his choice. And it wasn't her. Pain from the memory of finding out about the engagement forced Rin to find an empty chair and try to catch her breath while holding back the tears. It hurt so much. Sesshomaru hadn't even told her! No, she had found out from the very same magazine she'd just picked up. For two months he'd kept it from her! How he managed that she didn't have a clue but it didn't matter! He had lied to her and used her. She'd been sleeping with a taken man! Worse…she'd fallen in love with a claimed man! After finding out, though, everything made sense. Why they'd never been on a real date, why they never told anyone, why he was always so cold when they were around others. He'd planned on marring Kagura from the very beginning. "I'm sorry, Rin." He'd said, face emotionless as always. For a moment he'd actually looked horrified when she'd placed the magazine on his desk. "I never meant for you to find out like this." To this day she still couldn't figure out how she'd been able to sound so calm and unfazed while her entire being was screaming in anguish. "It's alright, Takahash-sama, I'm happy for you." She had lied through her teeth, even putting on a convincing smile. "It's not like I believed anything more would happen between us." She still remembered the flash of some deep emotion in his eyes at her words. Almost as if he'd been hurt but she hadn't stuck around to find out. She'd gone home that night in tears and had told Kagome and Sango everything. Being her best friends they had listened and offered to help. Nothing they did could ease the pain she'd felt and after only a month things became too much. Rin squeezed her eyes tight as that memory decided to rear its ugly head. She'd been doing relatively good, no one aside from her best friends knew she was hurting, and she'd even begun to think she was healing. At least until she opened the door to her boss' office, needing his approval on something, and had seen one of the worst possible thing she could ever have seen. Kagura had been straddling Sesshomaru's lap while he'd been seated on his couch, his hands on her thighs with her short skirt hiked up until her butt was practically showing, and their mouths locked in a deep kiss. Rin's startled gasp and dropping of the papers she'd been holding had the two parting. Kagura had looked at her with utter annoyance while Sesshomaru had looked…she really didn't know how to describe his look, given the fact that she'd only caught a glimpse of him before picking up the papers and hurrying from the room with a mumbled 'sorry,' all the while doing her best not to cry. "Rin…" He'd whispered her name as she'd picked up the papers and it had been her undoing. He'd sounded so sorry, as if he knew she was hurting and pitied her. That was too much for her to handle so three days later, packed in a bunch of other papers, she'd handed in her notice. That day decided to replay itself for her. "What the hell is this?" Sesshomaru demanded, slapping the paper down on her desk, startling her and the other employees. He was thoroughly pissed off. "I-it's my notice." She stammered out, not looking up at him. The only time she'd seen him even close to that angry was when Inuyasha royally screwed up. Sesshomaru growled and grabbed her arm, hauling into his office and slamming the door shut after them. He didn't care what anyone thought at that moment, that much was clear by the murderous look in his eyes. When she didn't say anything he waved the paper in front of her face and demanded again. "What the hell is this?" "I-I told you."Rin still refused to look up at him, instead focusing on the painting hanging on the wall. "It's my resignation." He growled again, his hand grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him. Surprisingly his touch was gentle…given how mad he was."Why am I holding your resignation?" Something in his tone sparked a fire within her and she yanked her face out of his hold as she took a step back, nearly yelling her reply. "Because, Takahashi-sama, I'm leaving." That caused him to blink in shock. "What?" "You heard me. I'm leaving." She crossed her arms and glared at him in defiance. A moment of silence stretched between them before he spoke again. "Why?" She didn't want to tell him the actual reason so she quickly made up something. "Because I want to do something new. I want to get away." He narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing her. "Do not lie to me, Rin." "Who says it's a lie?" She shot back. "Why are you leaving?" He demanded again, stepping closer to her. "I told you why." She took a step back but he continued to advance until she found herself pressed against a wall. He caged her there with his arms, piercing golden eyes fixed on her. "I-I want to try something new." "That's a lie, Rin." His voice dropped and he purred her name, sending shivers down her spin. "No, it's not." She suddenly found thinking very difficult as he leaned even closer. "Tell me…Rin." Again her name rumbled from his chest as that sensuous mouth of his inched closer to hers. Before she could deny his claim again his lips found hers and she was lost. A moan escaped her and she found her body unconsciously pressing closer to his. She craved him, she needed him, and nothing else mattered at that moment then having him. Until a small part of her spoke up, reminding her that he was engaged. Roughly she pushed him away from her, tears flowing from her eyes. "Rin?" He frowned in confusion, reaching to wipe away the salty liquid but she moved out of reach. "This is why." She gasped out, her lower lip quivering. He frowned at her, not following. "This is why I'm leaving, alright!" She shouted, all her pain finally becoming too much. "I can't do this anymore. I-I thought that it would be okay but it's not." She was beginning to mumble. "Rin, what are you talking about?" Sesshomaru asked, concerned for her as he tried to get closer. But Rin easily moved away. "I'm talking about the fact that you are getting married!" She hissed, eyes blazing at him. "I'm talking about the fact that in three weeks you'll be bound to another woman and I'll be…" Her voice trailed off, eyes squeezing shut. Sesshomaru stopped his advancement on her, frozen by her outburst. "Rin, I-" "Don't." She cut him off, wiping away her tears. "It doesn't matter. None of it matters. You finally get what you want, a merger with Onigumo." The laugh she gave sounded almost hysterical, even to her ears."Just forget I said anything." "Rin, why are you leaving?" Sesshomaru asked, closing the distance between them. However she stepped away when he got too close. "Tell me the truth…please." "I can't do it." She whispered, looking away from him. "Can't do what?" He tried reaching for her again but she evaded him. She looked up at him then, her usual cheerful brown eyes filled with pain and sadness. "I can't watch you get married. I…I love you too much." This time his eyes grew at her confession and he was at a loss for words. "I know that nothing could happen between us aside from a few moments of lust." She hurried on, inching her way back to the door, never once looking back up at Sesshomaru. "I thought I could handle this but it turns out that I can't. D-don't worry though, I-I'll train a new secretary for you. Now if you'll excuse me I have to…make a few phone calls." After I cry my eyes out in the bathroom. She turned and reached for the door knob. "Wait," he called, still rooted in the same spot. She paused with her back to him, not wanting him to see her crying. "Why tell me now?" "Because you asked." She whispered back before slowly turning to face him. Rin knew she looked horrible and tears were flowing nonstop down her cheeks. "Besides, it's not like my feelings are going to change your mind. This marriage means a lot more to you then this Rin, doesn't it?" His silence told her everything and she managed to give a decent shrug. "Now boarding flight 523 to New York City." The announcement jogged Rin from the painful memories. She sniffed softly, wiping at the few tears that had managed to escape. With a deep breath she squared her shoulders, hitching her bag higher on her shoulder and continued to her gate. As she joined the tourists and business people in line her eyes focused on the laughing couple standing a few feet ahead of her. Clearly they had just been married, given their matching bride/groom shirts, and were excitedly talking about what they were going to do on their honeymoon. When the new husband leaned down to kiss his bride's lips, Rin had to look away. Instead she looked out at the airport scenery she was never going to see again. Her heart squeezed at that thought. She was going to miss this place, her home, her friends. Maybe one day…in a few years, she could come back. But not for a long time. Her heart needed to heal and this was the best chance she had. A fresh start half the world away from the man who'd broken her heart. The line moved a few paces and she followed. In truth she didn't know what she was going to do once she was in America. Thankfully Inuyasha had helped set up a place for her to stay, respecting her wishes to find her own job. The line moved again as a man rushed up behind her looking dazed and about ready to pass out. Feeling sorry for him she allowed him to step in front of her. She was stalling and she knew it. She didn't want to leave and be alone in a city she'd been to once before. 'Maybe I should get a dog?' She thought with a sigh then scrunched her nose. 'No, a cat would be better.' Dogs had been Sesshomaru's favorite animal and she wanted as little of a reminder of him as possible. Before she knew it there were only three people in front of her to board. As the person currently having his ticket checked walked away her heart began to pound louder. One more person and there was no going back. One more deep breath and she looked around the terminal, taking in the last bit of home she would see. Frowning her eyes caught on a TV a distance away, too far for her to make out what was flashing across the screen but she could have sworn she'd just seen… "Miss?" The flight attendant called. Rin blinked and looked to the young woman. "Oh, sorry." She chuckled nervously and pulled out her ticket and boarding pass. "Here you are." The woman smiled, seeming to sense Rin's sadness, and reached for the papers. Just as her dainty hand was about to take the pass from Rin something caused her to pause. The attendant's blue eyes widened, focusing on something over Rin's shoulder, and her jaw dropped open in shock. Rin frowned in confusion at the woman's reaction to something and turned to see what was the cause. Her breath caught in an instant while her heart went into overdrive. Sesshomaru stood a few feet away, panting and staring at her with the most expressive eyes he'd ever had. Dressed in his immaculate tuxedo it was obvious he'd just come from his wedding. (Kagura had wanted a western style wedding, liking the idea of wearing a bridal gown rather than a kimono.) Even though it looked like he'd just ran a few miles, his silver hair having fallen loose from its tie, he was still the most beautiful man Rin had ever seen. And seeing him dressed in such a way only added to his appeal. "Rin…" He whispered, taking a tentative step closer. For some reason he looked…frightened to her. "S-Sesshomaru-sama…" she suddenly began to tremble at the intense look he was giving her. "Wh-what are you doing here?" Instead of answering her, his arms shout out and pulled her body flush against him while his mouth claimed hers. Her bag fell from her grasp while her eyes bulged in shock only to drift closed after a moment. Her hands, of their own accord, gripped the front of his suit, trying to pull him closer. She knew people were staring at them but she just couldn't bring herself to care, she was too lost in the kiss to care about anything. Too bad the kiss had to end, both panting for much needed air, and she realized what she'd just done. Desperately she tried to break away from him, horrified that she'd let herself succumb to him again. However, he refused to let her go, holder her tighter. "Why are you doing this? Why are you here?" She demanded, doing her best to keep her tears back and get away from him. "You cannot leave, Rin." There was something off in his smooth voice…a hint of some strong emotion he was trying to contain. "I will not let you leave this Sesshomaru." Anger at his words and desperation had her struggling harder. "You have no say in my life anymore! You're married now so go back to your wife!" She demanded, hitting his chest with the side of her fist in frustration. Why couldn't he just leave her be? She was leaving for him, for Kami's sake, couldn't he just respect that? The tears were becoming too much now. "I have no wife." He stated, catching her chin and forcing her to look at him. Rin stared at him in shock, her struggles stopping. "Wh…what?" "I couldn't do it." He continued to stare into her eyes, something she never really seen brightening his amber eyes until they looked like melting honey. His thumb lightly brushed over her lower lip. "Standing at that alter, watching her walk down the aisle, this Sesshomaru felt only pain and sadness. You were the only thing going through my mind as you have been for the past month." "What are you saying?" She whispered, her voice suddenly hard to find and her gaze unable to look away from his. "None of it matters anymore. The merger, the company, my name…none of it means anything to this Sesshomaru if Rin is not in my life." There was no hesitation in his words, every single one was spoken with sincerity and truth. "If Rin wishes to go, to start over somewhere new, then you may…only if this Sesshomaru follows. I will not let you leave me." Tears were leaking out of her eyes but she didn't care. "Why? Why are you doing this?" "Because, Rin," Sesshomaru lowered his face closer. "I love you." She gasped at the declaration. "It may have taken longer than it should have for me to realize it but it's true. Rin is the only one that this Sesshomaru wants, the only one I will love, and I will not lose you." "B-but your company…" She shook her head, this was all too much. No way was this real. "The merger you've been after for so long…you can't-" He cut her off quickly. "None of that matters to me. You are the only thing this Sesshomaru cares about. I just wished I would have realized it sooner." He blinked and an almost pleading look appeared on his face. "Can Rin ever forgive this Sesshomaru and allow me the chance to prove what you really mean to me?" Rin blinked up at him before looking away. The longer she stared into his gaze the easier it was to surrender. Ironically her eyes landed back on the TV she'd watched earlier and , sure enough, there was a video of Sesshomaru running out of the temple with the words 'Takahashi leaves bride at alter' dragging across the bottom of the screen. Shifting her eyes from the TV she realized that a large crowd was staring at them, many of the people nodding their heads at her. A distance away she saw Inuyasha and Kagome and the others, each one smiling at her with encouragement. Then she looked behind her at the attendant. The woman was holding Rin's ticket and smiling brightly. She looked from Rin to Sesshomaru and back, raising an eyebrow as if to ask if Rin was crazy. Her tears were now blurring her sight as Rin turned back to face Sesshomaru. He was still watching her with that pleading look and it was enough to break whatever resolve Rin had left. "Rin had already forgiven Sesshomaru." She whispered back, her lip trembling as her tears flowed freely. "I love you too much." Sesshomaru claimed her mouth again in a long, hard, passionate kiss that had part of the watching crowd blushing. As his arms snaked around her waist, hers wrapped around his neck, each holding on for dear life. Only when their lungs screamed for air did they part, Sesshomaru resting his forehead against hers. "Never, my Rin, will I let you go again." He promised, eyes blazing with intensity. "You are mine and I will do anything to keep you by my side." Rin could only laugh happily at the exclamation and kiss him again. Never had she believed this would have happened. But this was everything she had wanted. Finally she was experiencing the better side fate had to offer and she had no intention of letting it slip away. A month later magazines around the world were announcing the surprise wedding of Takahashi Sesshomaru to his secretary, Yamato Rin. The same day as his failed wedding the new couple had gone to America only to return weeks later with matching wedding bands; the only ones who knew of this had been close family and friends. Needless to say many were shocked that, not only did Sesshomaru run out on his wedding to Kagura but, that he had married a practically ordinary woman not even a week later. But it was obvious to everyone that the couple was in love and…seemed to be an even better match then Sesshomaru and Kagura. There was no doubt that many would follow the pair, hoping for a chance at what they seemed to have.
