Taking Over

Sesshomaru Takayoukai was at the top of his game. Having just taken over his father's advertising business, he knew he was destined for great things. Hell, he had known this for quite a while.

His kind old father had been loved by everyone in his company. Happily married, two strong boys, richer than many had ever even thought to dream of.

He never had to fire a single soul, having never had his employees disagree with him. He had managed to keep his company going strong, and promoted the image of comparison between his company, and a big, idyllic family.

"What a load of bullshit." Thought Sesshomaru.

But everything was different now. Now, that his father had retired to some crapped-out little cabana in who-gives-a-fuck-where with his NINGEN bitch. Feh.

Sesshomaru sat down gracefully in his midnight black business chair. He rested his arms on the soft leather armrests, and drummed his long, supple fingers over the ends. His piercing gold eyes surveyed the city skyline before him as he stared thoughtfully out the window. He looked up at the ceiling, knowing full well that no one worked above him. He liked it that way. Being at the top of his game, his life, the corporate ladder...

Another glance out the window added another thought to his list.

At the top of his building...yes.

He smirked again. "As it should be."

A knock on the door interrupted his solitude. "What is it?" he said in an icy, smooth voice.

"Calls on line one and two, sir." Came a feminine voice from behind the door.

Sesshomaru growled. Calls on line one were solely reserved for family members. Since his father was outside the circumference of civilization, that left one member...one flea-bitten, half-ningen, fucked-ove-

"Sir, the caller on line one says it's urgent."

Sesshomaru stared at her with a blank face. "Send it through."

The woman stayed quiet for a moment. Sesshomaru? Taking a family call?

Sesshomaru delicately picked up the phone. "What?"

"Hey, it's Lord fluffy. Didja get that diamond-encrusted stick out of your ass yet? Good, cause I need a favor..."

Sesshomaru carefully pulled open his desk and quietly pulled out an object. He spoke softly into the speaker. "Inuyasha..."

There was a shifting sound, as if Inuyasha had placed his delicate white dog ear to the speaker. "Gonna have to speak up, fluff n'stuff, I can't hear you."

Ignoring his last statement, Sesshomaru placed the now visible air-horn to the phone.

He covered the whole phone with a rubber cloth to protect his own, superior hearing, and pulled the trigger.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

Sesshomaru kept his finger on the trigger until the can was out of air. He then laid the phone carefully in its cradle, and put away the empty airhorn and rubber cloth.

Leaning back in his chair, Sesshomaru decided that that had been the most pleasing thing he had done since becoming the owner of Takayoukai industries.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a figure appeared in the doorway.......
