AN: Need a Beta Reader, any takers? And yes, I know the .com
is missing from my e-mail addy. I did that way so it would show up on ff.net.

Rin took a deep breath as made her way through the crowd
starting to form a line to get inside The
Lunatic. Youkai disguised as humans and actual humans were every where
all trying to get inside. This place was not what she expected. She had
expected a deserted spot perfect for a show down or at least something less
involved. There was no way she would be able to explain or prevent so many
losses. Surely not every human there knew what they were getting into. She
would be on guard just in case, demons had no honor.

High above the club, Inu Yasha and Sesshomoru looked down. "I am not impressed,
Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha shook his head. "There's something about her that I just don't
like."

"And did you mate have anything to say about her?"

"Kagome seems fine, but she knows more than she's telling." Inu Yasha
narrowed his eyes. "I just know that..." his sentence trailed as he heard
the door to the roof exit closed. He balled his fist annoyed. "I hope she
gets you first," he mumbled then turned to leave as well.

Rin took a deep breath to gather her confidence. This was
not the first time she had worked without back up and it would not be the last.
She had to remain confident. Demons were no more than animals and they would
strike for sure if she showed any type of apprehension. Failure was not an option;
she had to maintain her family�s honor, Pater�s honor. Of course there was also
a possibility that this was not a trap after all and this was a legit
establishment, as legitimate as it could possibly be being managed by a demon.
�I am here to see Sesshomoru Tensaiga,� Rin announced to the burly looking
demon bouncer guarding the door.

�Who isn�t here to see him?� the guard grumbled. �Get in
line and wait to drop your panties with the other wenches.� He crossed his arms
and dismissed the woman in front of him.

A dark eyebrow arched in shock. �Wench!?� Rin nearly
shrieked in disbelief then turned her back to guard. Never in her life had she
ever been disrespected in such a manner. The implication that she was some sort
of groupie and did not have any real business never entered her mind a possible
scenario. Dark eyes narrowed, the temptation was strong to teach him a little
lesson, but she would have forego the impulse and settle on a less trivial
vindication. She quickly brought up her fist in a reverse punch, breaking the
bouncer�s nose.

He held his bleeding nose as tears sprang to his eyes. �You,
bitch,� he growled. Some of the people standing in line applauded while other
merely stared in shock.

Rin merely stared at him. �Don�t press you luck any further,�
she said simply before walking around him and entering the club. Inside she saw
a dimly multileveled interior all designed in shades of white. One would not
think of white as having shades at least not until they laid eyes upon this
establishment. Silver, bone, pearl, cream, alabaster, frost, egg shell,
antique, lily, and snow were just a few of the shades that caught the eye.
Striking contrast colors were used as accessories to marry the motif. There was
a sterile elegance about it, but she had to admit if she was the social type
this would be the kind of place she would like to spend her time. �He has taste, I will give him that,�
she thought as she watched the staff set up in preparation for opening.

A strong aura approached her suddenly causing her to turn
around, her breath caught in her throat as she stood in front of a tall silver
haired man with striking amber eyes. A slight flush brushed her cheeks being in
the presence of someone so beautiful then her eyes narrowed. �So it is true, the devil is a being
beautiful being of light,� she mused inwardly. She was unable to tear her
eyes off of him. This was her mark she was to know everything about him what he
thought, what he ate, how he moved so gracefully�

�Will you continue stand there staring like an immature
school girl or do you have business?� Sessshomoru gauged the woman�s expression
and was quite amused to see anger flitter across her face just before
disappearing behind stoicism. It was obvious by her mannerism that this was not
natural but practiced and it only made him more curious.

�I am looking Sesshomoru Tensaiga,� Rin replied.

�You have found him. State your business.�

�I was under the impression from Kagome that you are looking
for help with your establishment.� Rin balled her fist absently.

�That is true. I am looking for someone to manage this night
club.� A silver eyebrow arched slightly as he tried to read her expression. He
was not sure what to make of her, but he would not take her presence lightly.
Inu Yasha was correct, though he would never admit it; there was something
about her that was not quite right. His interest was piqued. �You will start
right now.�

Rin�s eyes widened. �You want me to manage this club. You
know nothing of my qualifications��

�I have seen how you handled the bouncer at the door.�
Sesshomoru took as step forward so that he now stood close to Rin. He could see
the flush return to her cheeks. �That incident showed me several things, one
that I need to speak to Inu Yasha in his choices in staff, two that you demand
respect, and three that you will accomplish your goals in the face of
adversity. This makes you suitable at this time.�

�When I was given your card, I thought��

�Perhaps you should cease in thinking and only do as you are
told, woman.� Sesshomoru turned to leave. �You only fifteen minutes to
familiarize yourself with the staff so I suggest that you follow me. The more
intimate details we will discuss later.�

Dark eyes narrowed in annoyance as she followed behind him.
He just dismissed her as though she was some sort of child and here she was
going along with it. �The mission. I have
to get close to him for the mission. I am doing this for the mission. I
am�going to snap his neck!...the mission�� Arrogant, egotistical, sexist,
and whole bunch of negative adjectives formed in her mind to describe him. Ooh
she hated him already. �My name is O-Rin, not woman,� she said sternly to his
back, �Man.�

Twice that night amusement flittered across is icy features
though Rin did not see it either time. �I will not tolerate disrespect, O-Rin,�
he said simply.

�Neither will I,� she replied as continued following him the
rest of the way in silence.

Kagura sat high above in the VIP section the dancing and
mingling smiling. The club was an instant hit. It was like everything else
Sesshomoru ever touched pure gold. He was absolutely brilliant. She shifted
comfortably in her chair. Everything about this club screamed panache and
elegance, it was almost like the edifice and all of its articles were a part of
him. By enjoying them, she was almost enjoying him.

Crimson eyes brightened as she spotted the very inspiration
of her thoughts walking down below. She had hardly seen him the entire night.
He was still avoiding obviously. She did not know why he tried to fight it. The
only one that could possible suit him was her, no other female had a chance. Of
course she made it obvious that no others should try, however the frustrating
fact was Sesshomoru did not seem interested in the attention of women. Kagura knew
of a few occasions when Sesshomoru did privately entertain. In fact she had the
pleasure a few times, which was something no other woman could claim. Perhaps
that is why she laid some heavily claims on him or whether she fell in love
with him did not matter. He was going to be all hers and all of the glory that
went with it.

�It�s only a matter of time, Sesshomoru,� she declared
lowly. �You have to take a mate sometime and you only have to realize that the
perfect one is me.�

�Would you like a glass of champagne?� A waitress asked
offering her tray to Kagura.

Kagura took a long frosted stemmed glass. The Lunatic was written in elegant Squire Script
on the glass; even the napkins had the club name on them. A smile graced her
face thinking about how so few details got past Sesshomoru. He obviously spared
no expense. The least she could do is personally congratulate him on his good
taste. Perhaps he would like to celebrate with her tonight.

�You�re welcome ma�am,� the waitress replied as Kagura waved
her off. She turned to leave slightly annoyed to be dismissed in such a way; it
was a part of the job.

Kagura stood and walked to the elevator and pushed the down
button. The elevator was another one of Sesshomoru�s perks. The VIP area could
be seen throughout the club, but was only accessible by a back stairwell and
the VIP elevator. The VIP area was enclosed in glass to give the feeling of
being set apart by those on in the inside and the feeling of envy by those
below. �Only the best�� Kagura smirked as the doors closed.

Inu Yasha walked the second level of the club, everything
looked good. �Good thing we don�t live
together because there would be no living with him after tonight.� He
thought. A slight growl caught in throat as he saw Rin standing beside the bar
talking to one the bartenders. He did not like have that woman around. When
Sesshomoru announced that she would be managing the club, he nearly flipped.
Not only did she break one of his bouncer�s noses, but she just had a way about
her. He did not trust her. First time she tried anything she was going to be
put down. �Sesshomoru has got be nuts or
hard up.�

From across the level, Sesshomoru felt his nose twitch as
though he needed to sneeze but ignored it. The club was a success, naturally,
and would more than likely turn a profit within a few months like his other
investments. There was only one unknown factor and that was his manager.
Already she was performing beyond expectations, she commanded well like she was
born to do so. He had been right to task her in this way. The staff seemed to
have adjusted to her after a few hours in fact the only one who really seemed
to have a problem with his choice were his personal assistant, Jaken and Inu
Yasha. Neither of their opinions counted for anything so he was not worried.

Amber eyes searched for the current occupier of his
thoughts. O-Rin was talking to one of the bartenders about something or
another; he did not feel that he needed to be bothered with the details, that
was what she was there for. However, he was interested in testing her character
once again. �How are you faring on your first night out?� he asked as she
dismissed the bartender.

�Considering, I only few minutes to acquaint myself, quite
well,� she answered.

�Did you expect otherwise?�

�Usually someone does not hire a total stranger of f the
street to such a high position,� Rin commented. �It was almost like you wanted
to me to fail.�

A silver eyebrow rose in annoyance. �I am neither held to
the standards of common people nor do I govern by them. To imply my methods are
uncouth would be to insult me. You�ll do well to remember that, O-Rin,� he said
coldly.

Rin could herself crumble slightly under his glare, but held
herself firm. The bastard was not going to give even an inch. �Insulting was
not my intention,� she said gritting her teeth.

�Gnashing your teeth is not sophisticated for a woman as
attractive as you are, O-Rin.�

Rin could feel her cheeks getting warm again. �Excuse me,�
she said brushing past him.

Sesshomoru grabbed her arm and pulled him to her. �I have
not dismissed you.�

Rin�s eyes narrowed. �I do not need��

�Sesshomoru,� Kagura greeted as she walked up. Her crimson
eyes bore holes into the embracing couple. Where did this woman�this human get
off embracing her future mate.

Sesshomoru sighed lowly. It almost went unnoticed by
Rin�almost. She looked towards the black haired demoness with crimson eyes. �He�s annoyed by her. Is she his girlfriend?�
She pulled away from Sesshomoru�s grip due to his distraction.

�I�ll leave you to your girlfriend,� Rin said moving away.

An uncharacteristic growl escaped Sesshomoru. �Kagura and I
are not in a relationship.�

�Of course we both know it�s a matter of time,� Kagura
smiled wrapping her arms around Sesshomoru�s arm. She glared at Rin with a look
that clearly read �he�s mine, bitch stay away.�

Rin glared back at her for the sake of principle. �Enjoy,�
she turned to leave. �Tramp,� she added softly.
