The Love of My Rose Hime
Twenty Ninth Rose: A Wicked Temptation
By Nikkie23534
The Crescent Cafe...
It's a little after 9 am Monday morning, just a few short days until the wedding. The crew are going full blast. Orders are being taken and filled, deliveries came in and went out. Customers, old and new have been bustling in and out. Yasha took time out of her busy schedule to chat with some of them as usual, as the regulars wished her well on her upcoming marriage.
One in particular, was Mrs. Tsuchiya. She was Inu's fifth grade teacher and a good friend of Keade's. "So, InuYasha chan, I hear from your grandmother that you got yourself a big fish?" She said with a sly smile, nudging Inu in the side with her elbow. "Got money coming out the ear, eh?"
InuYasha laughed nervously, 'Gram I'll get you for this!' "No, Tsuchiya sensei, It's true that he's well off. But, he's not rich."
"Ha!" Yelled Monica as she past the two women, one her way to the sale counter. Earning a stern look from Inu. Turning back to the older woman, she smiled. "Like I said, Ma'am. He's not that rich."
"Oh? But, that's not what the paper says." She picked up her news paper, and opened it to the society pages. There, in big bold print, the headline read:
Attention to all the lovelorn ladies out there!
It's now official. The richest and most eligible bachelor in Japan,
is once again off the market. Sesshomaru Takeuchi, son of billionaire
Technology tycoon Touga Takeuchi, will be taking the plunge once again!
This Saturday Takeuchi, 28, will marry InuYasha Shima, 22...
"Will that sounds like money in the back to me, InuYasha chan!" Smiled the older woman. Inu was speechless. 'Wow, the have a whole page about just us! Keh, don't they have anything better to write about? Damn, it doesn't say. Reporters, feh! What good are they?' She scanned the entire article and frowned. "So Inu chan, where are you honeymooning? The paper didn't say." Asked her old teacher.
She looked at her former teacher and smiled, "I have no idea. We won't tell me."
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about it, dear. If, what I've read about that young man of yours is true, it'll probably some romantic place. Like Paris or Rome. Anyway, I'm sure you'll have a good time!"
Just then, Mai came up and handing the woman the bread she ordered and her change. Mrs. Tsuchiya took them and smiled. "Take care, Inu chan. And thank you for inviting me to your wedding, I'm looking forward to it! Tell your grandmother I said hello."
"Thank you sensei, I will and I'll see you on Saturday." Inu smiled and bowed to the woman as she left. "Damn. Stupid papers!"
Looking up from her task of cleaning the counter shelves, Monica raised an inquisitive brow. "What's up, Yash? Papers spell your name wrong?" She smiled as she ducked the rag aimed at her head.
"Shut it, Moni!" She said as she picked up the towel, and walked into the kitchen. Moni, following behind.
"Hey, girl. I'm just messin' with you." Sitting in the chair by Inu's work bench. Moni folded her arms on the table, and looked up at Inu. "What's up, Yash? You still mad that you don't know where he's taking you? I don't think you should worry about it. You know it's bound to be somewhere out of this world!"
Sighing, Inu sat down next to her friend and employee. "Nah, I mean, I'm still pissed that he won't tell me. But, it's just that... I feel kind of... Damn it, I don't know!" She growled running her hands through her hair. Mussing the already messy bun at the top of her head. "It's just becoming so real! All the invitations, the meets of the families, meeting the priest that will marry us, the cake, my dress! Then, it's Sess. I mean we're just so different. He was born with everything anyone could want. He's rich, comes from a great family, he has the cutest little girl, that ever drew breath! Plus, he's freakin' gorgeous! We could have any woman he wants! It's all just, so ... oh." She groaned, laying her head on the bench.
"Well, duh! And, he wants you!" Monica reached over and rubbed Inu's back. "Yash, what your going through is normal. It's just pre wedding jitters! Your just nervous. All those things you said about Sess, you could say them about you. Well, except the part about the money and the kid. But, hey look what you have! You've got a great family, wonderful friends, if I do say so myself!" She grinned patting herself on the shoulder. "And, you could have any man you wanted as well! I mean, have you ever looked at yourself in a mirror, Yash? You are a fucking goddess!" She got up and grabbed InuYasha to the mirror on the wall. Forcing Inu to look at herself. "See? Look at those big beautiful purple eyes. That little button nose, that little upturned tip. Those babylike cheeks. That wonderful smile. Yash, you are an angel, and Sess is lucky to have you!"
Turning to Monica, InuYasha gave her a huge bear hug. "Thanks Moni! I needed to hear that!"
Hugging her friend back, "You're welcome, Yash." Smirking slyly, she asked, "Does that mean you'll be giving me a raise, for the therapy session?" Yasha laughed as she thumped her lightly on the back. The 2 were still hugging and laughing when Ban, Jak and Ren walked in from a round of deliveries.
Ban looked at the scene, and let out a loud shout. "All right! Finally I see some HOT yuri action! Yes!!!!!" SMACK... POW... BAM...
"HENTAI!" Two woman yelled as they pounded him into the ground! "Damn it, Ban. If you put that much energy into your work, instead of your dirty little thoughts may be you would find a decent woman!" Yelled Moni.
Getting up from the floor, Ban dusts himself off. "Hey, I got a 'decent' woman. Several as a matter of fact!" He smiled.
Crossing her arms across her chest, Moni sneered back. "I said a woman. A real one, not the skanks and whores you go out with."
Looking hurt, Ban placed his hand over his heart, and pleaded his case. "Skanks? Whores? Tsk, tsk, My dear Moni. Do I look like the kind of man that would associate with those kinds of women? I mean honestly, the ladies I date are good, honest, fun-loving, -"
"Hos and sluts!" Smiled Moni, looking smug. Inu, who was watching the whole scene from her bench, chuckled low to herself. 'Left himself wide open on that one!'
Bankostu stood smiling at Moni. He slowly walked up to her, leaned over and whispered into her ear. "Hos and sluts? Hmph. And what about you Moni kun? How many dates have you been on since arriving? Wait, lemme guess? Ummmm, none." Smiling, as a hot red stain spilled over cheeks. "Maybe, if you weren't so self righteous little hafu, you'd get asked out to. Hell, I might even take pity on you!" As he turned to walk away, leaving Moni to just stand there.
Yasha, hearing what he said to her, yelled at him. "Bankostu Takashi! You bastard! How dare you call her that?!? That was totally uncalled for!"
Ren had heard the comment too and piped in. "Yeah, bro that was kind of harsh, even for you." He said as he hung up his jacket. "You should apologize."
Washing his hand at the sink on the far end of the kitchen, Ban said sourly. "Why should I? What I said was the truth. Hell, if anyone should be apologizing it should be her. She started it." He said, as he walked to read what was next on his task sheet. He turned, planning to start on the birthday cake Inu had assigned him to make. But, instead he found himself on the floor, holding his right eye! "What the FUCK!!!!!" Looking up he saw a teary eyed Monica looking at him, nursing her sore fist.
"I am not self righteous. I happen to be selective in who I date, unlike one egoistical MAN WHORE, I know! Who uses a pretty face and smooth line to hump anything that happens to fall for his bull!" Turning to leave, she paused and looked down at him. "And I maybe a hafu, but I'm the hottest damn hafu you'll ever see!" With that, she left the kitchen and went back to cleaning.
Ban, still sitting on the floor, stared at the closed door for a long time. 'Damn!' He thought to himself. 'I- I hadn't meant to call her that!' He rubbed his discoloring eye. 'Shit, what the hell is wrong with me? Why did I let her get to me like that? I'll let her cool down, before I apologize.' He was jarred out of his musings, when he felt a cold cloth being pressed over his eye. Looking up he saw Yasha's smiling face.
"Damn, she got you good, didn't she?"
Smiling, he took the towel and pressed it to his own eye. "Yeah, for a second I thought it was you! Then I realized, I was still alive!" He was still on the floor, with the cold towel on his eye. "Damn, it still hurts. Is it swollen?"
He moved the rag, so Yasha could look at it. "Yeah it is. You know you deserved it though. If you had called me that you would have gotten much worse. What possessed you? I mean it's one thing to dis her about her not being with anyone. But, to talk about her like that." Yasha shook her head.
"I didn't mean to say that to her. It was just that... " He turned and put his apron on. Then, he started to mix the cake he was assigned to make. "She just rubs me the wrong way."
"You rub everyone the wrong way, Ban." Kisa said, as she brought dishes in to be washed.
"Shut up, wench!" He yelled as he stared at his brother's nosy girlfriend.
When Kisa was about to fire back at him Yasha stopped them. "Now, that's enough of that guys. We have work to do." Yasha said as she turned back to her work. "Ban, just make sure you say your sorry to her later. Okay?"
He gave her a heartfelt smile and nodded.
Fifteen minutes later, Moni, still fuming a little over Ban's insult, had just finished ringing out a customer. The phone rang. "Good morning and thank you for calling Crescent Cafe. This is Monica, how may I serve you?"
The voice on the other end said. "Yes, I am a friend of Mai's. Is she in?"
"Hai, hold on please." Monica smiled and looked up, seeing Mai cleaning tables. "Hey, Mai, phone."
Mai smiled and thanked her as she took the phone. "Hello, this is Mai." She looked around, then turned her back on Moni. Speaking low into the phone.
"Yes... Oh, no I had a great time, thanks for taking me..." She pauses as she listens to the other person on the line. "What? Tonight? Oh I don't know, I have the closing shift."
She looked over her shoulder to Moni, as she continues her conversation. Moni sees this look and raises her eyebrow at her. But, stays quiet. "No, the cafe closes at 5:30, and I know that show starts at 7:30... Well, I'd have to get home then changed and..." She blushes over whatever is said to her over the phone. Looking into the kitchen, she glances at InuYasha's back. "I can't ask my boss that? Yes, I want to see you, but we are really busy here!" Looking at Yasha again, she sighs. "Ok, I'll ask her, then I call you back. Okay. Bye." Hanging up, Mai took a deep breath and headed into the kitchen.
Yasha was at her worktable. She was looking over an inventory order list that Renkostu had given her, when Mai sat down next to her. Looking up at her, she smiled then looked back at her list. "Hey Mai, taking a break?"
"Um... Yasha, I... um... I have something..." The girl stammered trying to gain some courage.
"Mai," Yasha looked at her, now concerned. "What's the matter?"
Mai bowed her head and placed her hands in front of her, in a prayer style. "Yashthere'sthisgreatconcerttonightandIwasinvitedtogotoitsocanIpleaseleaveearlytodayplease?"
"There's a what, you wanna who?" Yasha smiled. "Mai, slow down, I didn't understand a word."
"I'm sorry Yasha, It's just that there's a Larc en Ciel concert tonight, it's sold-out. But, a friend got tickets, so can I get out early tonight, please?"
"Oh, invisio man strikes again!" Teased Ban. "It's gotta be that mystery boyfriend of hers, Yash."
"Mystery boyfriend?"
"Yeah, it's been going on for a couple of weeks now." Said Ren.
Yasha raised a brow at the girl. "How come this is the first I've heard of him?"
"Not for nothing, Yash, but with the wedding and all, I don't think you would have noticed." Said Kisa, "Besides, your not the only one in the dark about him. None of us has meet him either."
"What?" Turning to Mai. "Why not? What's wrong with him, Mai?"
"Nothing! There's nothing wrong with him. It's just that... Well, we want to take it slow, that's all! You'll meet him, when the time is right." Looking to Yasha, she gave a nervous smile. "Well, Yasha? Can I leave early, please?"
"Well, I don't know?" Looking around, "Hey Moni?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you mind closing tonight with Kira and Juro?"
"No, I don't mind. I could use the extra money." Smiled Moni.
Yasha smiled and looked at Mai. "Well, I guess you can go. Have a great time, and I want to hear all about it when you come back to work."
"OH MY GOD, Yasha, you so rock!" She jumped up and hugged Inu. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kissing Yash on the cheek.
"Alright! Alright! Get out of here and finish up outside, you can cut out of here at 3." As the girl turned to leave, Yasha called her. "Mai, I do expect to meet this guy of yours. Your family to me, so I want to make sure he's not a creep!"
"Oh, okay Yasha. You'll meet him soon. I promise. Excuse me I have a call to make." And, through the door she went.
Yasha turned to Kisa. "So, you mean to tell me that no one has meet her new boyfriend?"
"No. I we were all in shock that she even had one, I guess we never really thought about it." Kisa replied, with a shrug.
"Well, I don't like it. She being so secretive. It's not like her." Yasha cast a worried glance to the girl on the phone. 'I hope this guy's not an asshole!' Then, Yasha shuddered as thoughts of Heero crossed her mind. 'It's been a long time, what made me think of that sick psycho?' Yasha decided to shrug it off. 'Well, she's a smart girl. She would know better than to get hooked up with anyone as bad as him!' She went back to work.
Back out in the service area, Mai picks up the phone and dials. "Hello?" Says the rich silky voice on the other line.
Breathless, Mai speaks. "Hi, it's all set. Yasha told me it was okay to leave early, so when and where do you want to meet?" She smiles. "Okay, just honk and I'll come down! Okay, see you later, bye!" She hangs up, grinning from ear to ear. 'Woo hoo! I don't believe it! He said he'd pick me up this time! Yes!' She looked back at Yasha, sitting at her table. Mai suddenly feels a pang of guilt. 'Maybe I should tell her.' Then she thought the better of it. 'I'll wait until everything dies down, and then I'll tell her. Inu's so busy with her own wedding plans! Besides, I'm having such a great time, I don't want to ruin it!' She goes back to work trying to get as much done as possible, before she leaves.
In an office on the other side of town...
A tall handsome man, is sitting at his desk. He sighs with an evil grin, "No, Mai. This time I'll pick you up in front of your apartment. We will have a great time, I'm sure! Till tonight, bye." He closes his cell phone putting it in his pocket, and sits back in his black leather chair. The first part of his plan is set. 'This is working out better than I had hoped. The longer I pay with this little simpleton, the closer I can get near you, my love.' Reaching over, he picks up his paper, already turned to the society page. His grin turns into an enraged sneer as he stares at the picture before him. He reads the caption:
Sesshomaru Takeuchi, son of Security Technology tycoon to wed
Caterer and Restaurant owner InuYasha Shinta, 22
Saturday in a traditional Japanese ceremony...
In a rage, he stood and threw the paper into the fireplace. He stared as he watched the images catch and burn. "Yes, smile while you can, InuYasha, soon you'll regret turning me down. I can wait, because I know he will never make you happy. Only I understand what you want and need. You will be mine, soon!" He walks to the bar, and pours himself a drink. Downing it in one gulp, he pours another. Going back to his desk, he picks up the picture on his desk and smiles lustfully. It was of InuYasha. The ever beautiful InuYasha. So young, so happy, so full of life! She was standing on a pathway overlooking the ocean. She was wearing a wide brim white straw hat. A simple lacy white thin strapped sundress and was holding her shoes in her hand. Smiling at the camera as she pointed out over the horizon. Feeling the familiar twitch in his loins, as he stare at her image. He kisses the picture, before putting it back. "I will have you back, my love. I just have to bide my time, but I will have you! You will also you pay, Sesshomaru, for taking what doesn't belong to you! I'll never let you go InuYasha, YOU ARE MINE!!!!!"
Buzz. He pushes the button on his intercom. "Yes, what is it?"
"Takamoto sama," Said the secretary. "Your father has requested that you join him at the board meeting this afternoon. And, I have your lawyer's secretary is on line."
"Yes, Mizuno san. Tell my father I will be there shortly. And, tell Ichigo's secretary that I want to meet with him tomorrow here."
"Yes, sir. Will that be all?"
"No, have a bouquet of flowers sent to an Mai Shino, you have her address."
"Yes, sir. What do you want the card to say?"
"Looking forward to tonight, Heero. Oh and, Kumi."
"Sir?"
"I want you to send 4 dozen Scarlet Carsons to InuYasha Shinta. At the Crescent Cafe."
"Yes, sir. And, the card?"
"Can't wait to spend forever with you. No name. She'll know."
"Yes, sir."
"Thank you, Kumi."
'Yes, soon InuYasha. Very soon!' He laughed as he walked out of his office towards the boardroom. 'Have a good time at your so called wedding! For you won't be happy with him for long, I'll see to that!
TBC...
