You Are Not Alone

It was another busy day at Taisho Inc. and Rin Sayuki was working like a human machine to complete the tasks assigned to her before her boss and CEO of her company Sesshomaru Taisho left the 27th floored, gigantic and lavishly designed building for his meeting with the Northern Corporation. Rin had joined the company just two weeks ago as the official secretary and P.S of Sesshomaru Taisho and she was proud that she had earned the approval of her boss within this short time as he let her handle some very important task. Like today's. The reports she was filing were very vital to his next meeting and he would have very much liked to handle it himself if it were not for the fact that he was engaged in a teleconference with some German client. Before Rin had joined the company, she had been given much advice on "How to be around Sesshomaru Taisho" and she had even had well wishers inside the company telling her she was in for a rough time. Sesshomaru was known to be a heartless, egoistical, stoic and a very sexy workaholic. He also had the record of firing four secretaries in a week. But somehow, Rin had yet to see the ugly side of her boss. Till now, he had been nothing but perfectly professional if not a little cold and too to the point, to Rin. And she had nothing to complain about. She was here to work and she did that well. Nothing more or nothing else. And everything was going well except for the fact that her boss looked to good for a workaholic businessman which often made Rin steal a glance or two in his direction.

Just thinking of her boss made Rin blush but she was too innocent of a girl to do something more or less about it. Sharp ringing of the intercom brought her out of her sweet, nervous reverie.

"Moshi moshi, Sayuki here."

"Are the reports ready?"

Rin sat up straight in her seat at her boss's ever professional but oh-so-addictive voice. Taking a quick look at her tidy work she responded almost immediately.

"Yes, Sir. Shall I bring them to your office now, Sir?" Was she nervous? May be, but just a little. He was her boss and she was new. It would take some time to get used to working with him, right?

"No need. I'll collect them from your desk on my way out. Naraku will be here for some papers, make sure he gets them properly. I don't want any of his tantrums."

"Yes, sir."

Click. Rin sighed as she placed the receiver back. Naraku Onigumo was Sesshomaru's friend and a major share-holder of Taisho Inc. In these few weeks of working here, Rin had understood that he was just as important as Sesshomaru and she had to be as proper and dutiful to him as she was to Sesshomaru. Though her boss had never mentioned anything about her service to Naraku, she gathered it from the way other employees treated him. Checking the reports once again, she proceeded to assemble some project reports and data that Naraku might need. He was handling a much different project than Sesshomaru but since Sesshomaru was the boss, his approval was needed in everything.

Naraku had his own secretary, Kagura Yamazaki, a perfectly proportioned woman who often modeled for some of the companies products and magazines. Words went around that she had been Sesshomaru's girlfriend for a while. But Rin was never one for gossips and she hadn't let the information come in between her and Kagura's professional relationship. Compared to Kagura, Rin was a much simpler woman- shorter in height by a good 5 inches to Kagura's 5'7", dressing in smart but decent work clothes which gave her a more professional look than Kagura's revealing attire. But one thing Rin secretly took pleasure in that her black hair was much, much longer than Kagura's. But when it came to work, Rin never thought herself superior to her being the boss's secretary and all though she noticed that both Sesshomaru and Naraku let her handle the more important tasks letting Kagura deal with simple merely show-off tasks.

Rin's office was adjacent to Sesshomaru's connected by a French glass door though Sesshomaru always used the front door to her office. She only used the side door to bring him important files and when he summoned her immediately . It was small but nicely decorated with an office desk containing every utility including a laptop. The entire building was cooled with the central AC, but the occupants of single rooms had the privilege to feel fresh air if they wanted to to. Rin often kept her small window open, the fresh air helped her think properly.

She looked up from her desk at the strong knock at the door and stood up at the sight of her boss.

"The papers , Sayuki."

"Right away, Sir!" She hurried with the file and he spent a few seconds going through its content while Rin waited patiently. He snapped the file shut as he turned away.

"Hmm." He approved. " Naraku will be here shortly."

"No problem at all, sir."

He paused at the door before striding out. "And Sayuki."

"Yes, sir?"

"Good Job."

Before she could mutter her thanks, he was already halfway across the corridor , his expensive cell phone in use. Rin felt somewhat relaxed that finally she had impressed her boss and now working with him should be easier. She checked her watch and settled back to work. She was determined to finish the impending tasks today since she had nothing else to do. She was so deeply engrossed in her work that she had forgotten that she was supposed to meet Naraku with the papers.

Rin jumped at the sudden "BOO" at her ear and half-turned in her seat to find Naraku too close to her face for her comfort. He had used the side door to sneak behind her and it displeased Rin immensely for her boss always used the front door and always knocked before coming in. In her haste to be decent, she stood up and realized a little to late she had made a big mistake because now, she was even more intimately pressed against her senior's body.

"Sir! I….I…" She stuttered, hoping he'd move away soon.

"You look very pretty when you blush, you know that?" His voice was a husky whisper which made Rin want to dash for the door but she tried to stay strong. She squirmed within the confined space created by Naraku's arms on both sides of her , careful not to touch his body and averted her eyes.

"Sir, you're making me uncomfortable." Her palms thumped on the desk behind to keep balance as she leaned away when he pressed closer.

"Why don't you get comfortable?" A lecherous smirk was evident in his face realizing he had Rin just where he wanted.

"S-sir, please." Inside she was tearing apart but she was putting up a strong face. Naraku stared at her for a good few seconds before he suddenly removed himself from the intimate position.

Naraku sighed dramatically as he pulled away. "Ahh…Anything for the lady."

Rin stumbled away from his reach and collected herself before she snatched the files from the table and almost thrust them into his hands. "The papers, sir. Now , if you will please, excuse me, sir." With that she almost ran out the room.

"My my..what a feisty one!" Naraku stared after the fleeting employee as evil glintedin his eyes. "Its going to be fun!"
