Chapter 1 : In Plain Sight
"Kagome! Get out of the bathroom already! I have to go!" Souta banged on the bathroom door angrily, causing one of the family photo's on the wall to come crashing down on the wooden floor. Glass flew out and covered the floor, glittering with anticipation to cut into someone's foot.
Kagome opened the door to see the picture destroyed and glared at her twin eighteen year old brother. "Now look what you did! Idiot!"
"Not my fault! You take forever!" He tried shoving passed her but she block the bathroom entrance.
"No! It is still my turn! I have to do my makeup!" Kagome growled, trying to outmatch her brother's strength.
"Listen sweetheart. I've seen you with and without make up, the damage is done. God fucked you over with that face!" He sneered, ducking between her legs and pushing her out. She made to go in and he slammed the door on her foot.
"FUCK! I HATE YOU!" She screamed, stomping away to look at herself in her hallway mirror. "Great! I look like a pirate!" She mumbled, examining only one eye done up with eyeliner. She glanced back to the floor and picked up the broken frame.
"Ooooooo I am so telling mom on you!" She rasped, tapping the other side of the door.
Twins were supposed to be close, and at one point that was true, until they got older and started to become more independent. Unlike Kagome, Souta looked more like his mother with his brown hair and hazily eyes. Kagome was the oldest, by two minutes and she will never let him forget it.
He opened the door then and grinned. "Okay. I'm done." He shoulder checked her and made for downstairs then stopped, turned to her and smirked, "By the way I left you a present in there." He ran down the stairs laughing.
Kagome scoffed and shut the door behind her, and that's when a foul smell hit her nose. She groaned and glanced at the toilet regretfully. "Oh my god! It looks like he dumped a whole Snicker's Bar!" She lifted her foot up and slammed it down on the toilet handle to flush it, but still the smell was coating itself on the back of her throat. Her eyes watered and she began gagging mercilessly, turning on the bathroom fan.
Something caught her eye then, swirling in the water. It was tinged pink but disappeared quickly before she could look further. She fastened up her ebony waist length hair into a high pony tail and finished the rest of her make up. She was pretty, above average with looks. Long eyelashes raked the rims of her azure eyes and she had full pink lips. In high school, being a senior meant everything, and if you didn't look good, no one gave you the time of day.
She heard a light tap on the door and opened it angrily. "Fuck you- mom?"
Her mother stood in the doorway, her eyebrows disappearing behind her brown bangs, holding a tray of waffles. " Excuse me?" She said in disbelief.
Kagome held up her hands and shook them. "No! Mom! I thought you were Souta! I didn't mean-"
"You and your brother used to be so close." Miyu shook her head in exasperation, holding up the tray in offering.
Kagome grabbed a waffle and shoved it in her mouth. "Yeah, that was before he got all big and started being an asshole." She managed through a mouthful of breakfast.
"Language." Her mother scolded. "Hurry up, you are going to be late for school." Miyu looked under her feet to see the glass and sighed. She should no better than to hang up pictured in this house. She felt as if she still had to have everything baby proofed. Now in her late thirties, widowed, supporting her deceased husband's father and two teenage twins proved to be a handful.
Kagome nodded and rushed passed her mother, skipping steps and stumbling onto the floor. She heard muffled snickers and looked up to see his best friend and his girlfriend leering at her. "What are you drunk?" The boy with silver hair and fuzzy whit dog ears laughed, holding out a clawed hand for her to take.
"No Inuyasha." Kagome spat defensively, fixing her black and red school uniform. She smiled at the girl next to him and opened her arms for a hug. The girl shook her head and laughed, meeting Kagome's chest in an embrace.
"You act as if you never see me, cousin." The girl flipped her hair that was much like Kagome's over her shoulder, only Kagome's fell in layers and hers didn't.
"Well, I love my little Kikyo." Kagome gushed, pinching the girl's cheek, watching with amusement as Kikyo's face scowled.
"Yo! Tool bag! We're late! Let's gooooooo." Souta yelled from outside.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and motioned for the two girls to follow him, and they found themselves racing when they heard the school bell ring in the distance. "Awe damn it! We're late! I don't need another write up for this shit." Inuyasha mumbled slowing down to walk. Kagome scowled and slowed down too, walking next to her cousin and brother.
"Well, we could always skip?" Souta suggested, holding his chest and wincing, completely out of breathe.
"What's the matter with you? You barely ran two blocks." Inuyasha slapped him on the back and furrowed his brows when his younger friend let out an old man's cough.
"I'm fine stupid. I smoke remember?" Souta lifted a small pack of Newport's from his uniform pocket, his brown eyes glistening. He was about to light one when it was immediately slapped out of his hands and stomped on. His eyes shot up and he exchanged Kagome's death glare, her hands on her hips.
"What the hell sis!"
Kagome crossed her arms and scowled, "You can get cancer from those!"
Inuyasha chuckled and pulled out his own cigarettes and handed his fuming friend one despite Kagome's daggering glares. "Kags, don't be such a hypocrite. You smoked since you were twelve."
Kikyo smiled at her look-a-like cousin, "Yeah Kagome, you were a chain smoker by the time you hit middle school."
"Don't you all gang up on me! What the hell do you think this is? Huh? Besides, I quit smoking and you know better than to smoke around me." Kagome huffed with finality and froze when she hear the final bell ring, announcing the start of Homeroom. She latched onto her hair and pulled, screaming obstinacies and glaring at her friends.
She pointed an accusatory finger at Souta and narrowed her eyes. "You! You did this! Great, just fucking great!"
Souta lifted his eyebrows and scoffed, "What the hell did I do?" He wheezed, holding onto his head at a futile attempt to make the world around him stop spinning. Inuyasha took note of this but brushed it aside, holding onto Kikyo's hand and heading the opposite way of the school.
"Come on guys, we might as well make the most of today since we wont have anything to do until school is out." Inuyasha called behind his shoulder to the two bickering siblings. Kikyo leaned into his shoulder and sighed, "Those two used to never fight ever."
Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head at the sound of Kagome's high pitched voice. Her voice always reached a new level of octaves and he hated it, which is why he was so glad that he was with the calm, quiet version of Kagome. Kikyo.
He winced at the sound of Kagome's vocal abuse and turned to Kikyo. "Shit happens with siblings, I cant explain it. It was the same way between me and Sesshomaru; we were the best of friends as kids, inseparable. As we got older, I guess we tried to dominate each other, and being the stubborn dogs we are, neither would give in."
"But Inuyasha… Souta and Kagome are not Demons… Kagome and I are Mikos, and there is a possibility that Souta may have spiritual powers as well…but to compare their actions with that of you and your brother's is entirely redundant."
He cocked a brow at her, "How?"
Kikyo glanced back at her cousins and pointed, "You see them over there? That is sibling rivalry. They fight, and they get over it. You and Sesshomaru are at war, for god only knows what reasons you-"
"Because my old man insists on giving me extra attention. Because… I am a half-breed… Sesshomaru wants me to submit but I never will. He doesn't want my dirty blood in his clan anyway."
Kikyo looked at her boyfriend with pity in her chocolate brown eyes. He hated when she looked at him that way, like she was in pain because he was hurting. She stopped walking and cupped his cheek, trying to heal away all his anger and worry with her touch. "Inuyasha, at one point in time, Sesshomaru was not just a relation by blood, but by friendship too. He just needs to open his eyes."
He glanced at her, his body language reading doubt. "No. He even favors Rin over me… and she is all human… I am his blood and all he does is put me down."
He kissed her gently on the lips, momentarily forgetting about the two quarreling behind him, who accidentally bumped into them, all stumbling into a pile on the curb.
"Damn it Kagome! Watch where ya goin' would ya?" Inuyasha growled, heaving the girl's body off his back. She was a lot heavier than she looked. "What the hell Fatty Patty! Get off er me-oomph!" His face met his new best friend, the concrete.
"Fatty Patty huh?" Kagome sneered, pulling on his sensitive dog ears angrily. He cried out in pain and then whimpered as he felt her weight leave his back.
Kikyo giggled and dusted herself off, helping an unusually exhausted Souta from the ground.
"Figures you mundane creatures would be out gallivanting instead of taking advantage of the school Father tried so hard to enroll you in." They heard the dreaded voice of none other than…they all looked up, and the rolled their eyes.
"Shut up Sesshomaru! I wasn't planning on skipping, we just wound up being late and I have enough slips on this, I don't need to be suspended… again."
Kagome glared at the full demon through half slit eyes, her blue orbs tracing his body. He had the same silver hair as Inuyasha, the same golden eyes. He stood much taller than Inuyasha, however, and he always held this stoic mask, making him even more intimidating than he already was. Kagome couldn't stand him, and likewise he with her. He was always tailored in expensive suits, such as the black and red pinstriped Armani suit he was wearing at the moment.
Though, she would admit only to herself, he was absolutely gorgeous, and perfect. Nothing ever was out of place with him.
Sesshomaru glared down at Kagome from his nose, acting like a complete snob. "I see you brought the lesser Miko." He grimaced, wrinkling his nose as if she were the most disgusting thing to him.
Souta shot forward and lunged for him, only to be held back by Inuyasha, who was growling in anger himself. "Don't talk about my sister that way!"
Sesshomaru leered at him and smirked slightly. "I did not direct the comment to a specific woman, you did. You pointed out that you're sister was the weaker one. Good to know your opinion of her."
Kagome's head drooped slightly and she cast a sulking glance at her younger brother by two minutes and looked away, her face tingeing a slight red. Kikyo looked at her cousin with worry, acknowledging what Sesshomaru had said. It was true, between Kikyo and Kagome, Kikyo was obviously the much stronger one, despite Kagome training longer and harder at the shrine.
Ever since they were little girls, Kagome had to compete with Kikyo in sparring, training, archery, swordsmanship, absolutely everything-even they guys.
Kagome had had the biggest crush on Inuyasha when they were in middle school, and she had tried to impress him by smoking cigarettes. Unfortunately, even though he smoked, he didn't find it attractive and went to the next best thing-Kikyo. It was a real sore spot when people compared her to Kikyo, they didn't even do that with her brother- and they are twins!
"Go to hell Sesshomaru!" Souta spat, shoving Inuyasha's grasp away and just stood there, staring at the powerful demon as if he were an annoying child.
Sesshomaru glared back at the young man and glowered at his disrespect. Then something caught his nose and his eyes widened for a fraction of a second. He examined the boy and it seemed like just to stand was an effort. His body smelled of sickness and his skin glistened with sweat as the boy struggled to keep his glassy eyes open.
"Call an ambulance." He said calmly, not taking his eyes away from Souta.
Everyone gazed at him with blank expressions.
"That doesn't even make sense!" Inuyasha laughed, turning away from his brother to leave.
Sesshomaru, this time more forcefully, "Call an ambulance."
Kagome looked up at the demon with a questioning stare and followed his gaze to where he was staring at.
Souta?
Souta could feel his body tremble with an unknown wave of weakness. He had slowly been feeling more exhausted and out of breathe, but he had brushed it off as asthma. His body was radiating heat and it felt like his throat closed up as he struggled to get much needed oxygen into his lungs.
Sesshomaru could sense that the boy was withering away. He was dying. Sesshomaru watched as the boys brown eyes rolled into the back of his head and he dropped, dead weight, onto the street. Kagome was stunned and rushed to her brother's collapsed body, thinking that it was all just some sick joke.
As soon as she touched his face her hand was damp with sweat and Souta's breathing became faint, almost like a whisper.
She droned out Inuyasha and Kikyo's frantic screams and time suddenly slowed down. The world around her became silent as she looked at her unconscious twin brother cradled awkwardly in her arms. Her eyes became blurry and panic washed over her, consuming every fiber of her being.
It felt like it was all done in slow motion, and she slowly looked up to meet the golden eyes of Sesshomaru. Her mouth was moving, she could tell she was screaming 'help him' over and over again at him but she couldn't hear her own voice.
Sesshomaru's ears were assaulted with loud yelling and frantic screams as he lifted his own cell phone to his ear. His eyes met that of the girl cradling the brother in her arms. Her blue eyes looked as if they were waves while the tears spilled down her cheek.
In that instant he felt a tinge of pain, for the girl was so broken hearted that she wasn't even aware when the paramedics pulled up next to them.
The paramedics lifted Souta's body on the stretcher and Inuyasha held onto Kikyo tightly as she sobbed. Sesshomaru glance at them and noticed that none of them bothered to comfort the girl sobbing on the curb. He calmly strolled over to her and lifted her up by the arm. She was so dazed she couldn't even walk so, reluctantly, he picked her up bridal style and hopped into the back of the ambulance with her sobbing away.
Inuyasha noticed this and rushed forward, "What the hell are we supposed to do?" He cried at his older brother holding his best friend who seemed to have passed out.
"Call the mother you idiot." He barked, closing the doors and leaving his brother and his girlfriend as the ambulance's siren sounded and they sped away.
Sesshomaru looked down at the passed out girl in his lap and grimaced.
Why did he get in the god forsaken van?
Please review- this story is so important to me and I want to get it perfect. You can look up my face book, (Liam had a girlfriend named Amanda and she was with him the moment he died. He had kissed her through the mask and his last words were I love you-this is one hundred percent true and he flat lined right after, causing Amanda to pass out.
