My first attempt at writing a fanfic! I'm usually just the typist, but my cohort in crime Andi has told me to write my own other stories as well as keeping up Hellboy with her and is letting me use her page… Excitement!!! Although she is still here…

*waves* Hello. I'm Andi. Please be gentle with Dana… it's her first time writing these on her own! Enjoy reading!

~Rule One: Don't Touch A Cowgirls Radio~

Sesshoumaru looked in disgust at the letter on his desk. He wouldn't do it…he couldn't do it. He was far to busy with his father's company to do this, not to mention it was the old fool himself asking him to do this horrid act. The letter read:

Dearest Son,

You need to come back out to the family ranch. All of our neighbors keep asking your step mother and I when you will be back out here and we have to tell them that we have no idea. It's very unbecoming of one of your character to do such a thing and if you will not come willingly, then I will have to take drastic measures to bring you home.

Call me and let me know your decision within the week or I will call you.

With love,

Your Father.

Ludicrous… it had been a week and a half and the old man still hadn't called him.

Less then three seconds after he thought that with a smirk, his personal phone rang. Sighing, he picked up his cell and flicked it open. "Yes father?" He said with an irritated voice. He heard the deep chuckle over the line and had to smirk a bit.

"I did warn you son, and I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this. I have notified the staff that as of tonight you are on a one and a half month leave of absence. You will board my private jet to come back home by tomorrow morning at nine-oh-five AM on the dot or I will be notified and forced to come and get you myself. At the front gate of the air port there will be one of my personal cars to take you home. Any questions?"

"Yes," He said coldly. "when did you start butting into this Sesshoumaru's life again?"

"The day you were born son, the day you were born." He said with a laugh. Sesshoumaru sighed and nodded.

"Very well. I will leave and pack now and be at the airport early to catch the flight. Goodbye father."

"See you soon son." He said and hung up. Inu rubbed his hands together and smiled. At long last his son was coming home!

~The next day~

"What do you mean it's not working?!" He whimpered, his dog coming out a bit.

"I mean it won't start Mr. Taisho." Said a slightly deep female voice from under the car. "It could be anything…oil levels, the steering column, the starter, or just because it wants to be a bitch to name a few." She said as she pushed herself out from under the car. Inu looked at the girl that stood before him, her raven hair pulled into a tight ponytail, denim overalls with a white t-shirt covered in oil and grease, and her worn out work boots. Her tan skin looked like gold and it caused her steel blue eyes (A/N: Yes, I know I changed her eye color…Oh well) to really sort of pop.

"Kagome…isn't there anything that I can have you do to her to get her running? The other cars aren't here right now, Jaken's got one to take my Izayoi into town today to get her dresses, Inuyasha will take one… I suppose I could have him pick his brother up…" He said thoughtfully.

"I ain't pickin up that asshole! He's your kid! You do it!" Said the aforementioned son as he stormed into the garage. Kagome had to bite her tongue not to yell at the over privileged brat and slap him over the head with her wrench she had in her tool belt. Gods, if she ever talked to her mother or grandfather like that she would have been smacked until she couldn't feel her cheek and then would have had a mouthful of soap for good measure.

"Well, then I'm out of ideas…"

"Mr. Taisho… I could go get him." She offered quietly. "It would have to be in my truck, but I have to go into town anyway to pick up some feed and other supplies so it wouldn't be too much trouble."

Inu's eyes brightened and he hugged her. "Kagome my girl you are a life saver! I'm sure he wouldn't mind it at all." He said and smiled. She smiled back and nodded.

"Alright, I just have to change my clothes and I'll be ready to go." She said and started to walk off until she heard Inuyasha's snarl.

"If she's going then so am I. I'll be waiting for you by the truck Kagome." I'll show her that I'm that cowboy that she wants. He thought to himself as he went upstairs and changed. When he came down he was surprised to see her already by the truck, her stain covered white shirt still on, in a pair of muddy jeans with a rodeo belt buckle, a dirty and, in his opinion, overly worn old cowboy hat, and a pair of boots that looked like they were ten years old. He felt like he was sitting next to an old farm hand in his designer jeans and brand new boots with his silver hair pulled back into a low ponytail. He slightly sniffed and she sent a look his way when he slid into her old Mazda B 2200.

"What's up your ass?" She asked him as she started her truck up and put it into first gear.

"Why didn't you dress nicer if you're going into town?" He asked her, distaste lacing his voice. She glared at him.

"Because, I'm going into town to get work things. I ain't going to impress anyone." She snapped at him, looking at his designer clothes with a wrinkled nose. She snorted. "Bet you haven't done a single day of hard work in your life. You probably couldn't drag a feed bucket to a horses pin." She said as she tuned in the Twister on her old stereo, grinning when she heard Garth Brooks "American Honky Tonk Bar Association" and started singing softly with it. She pulled into the airport and remembered that she didn't have a sign to bring him over toward them, and her yelling wouldn't be heard over all of this noise. She saw a bit of silver and waved at him, but growled when he walked past her. Suddenly she saw Inuyasha rushing by, grabbing his arm, and pulling his brother and his luggage toward the truck. She saw the man's eyes widen for a split second before they went back to being cold and indifferent. She rose an eyebrow when he stopped and placed his luggage beside her feet.

"Well?" He finally asked after a full minute of her not immediately bending down and putting his suite cases into the bed. She rose her eyebrow a bit higher.

"Well what? You to old to put your own shit in the truck?" She asked as she walked around and got into the driver's side. Sesshoumaru couldn't help as his jaw dropped, no one had ever spoken to him like that before, he was still slightly dumb founded as he placed his own things in the truck bed and got in next to his brother, who growled whenever he had to place his hand close to her head in order to get in. Sesshoumaru looked at him as he placed a hand on Kagome's thigh to which she glared at him and slapped his hand. "No touching. Personal bubble, remember?" She snapped at him, turning her radio up again. She sighed happily as the silence of the cab was filled with Carrie Underwood's "Undo It"…that is, until a hand reached up once she got back on the highway and switched it to Eminim.

She pulled onto the shoulder, slamming on her brakes, pulling her emergency brake and slinging her door open as the same time and then pulled the suddenly very terrified hanyou out of the cab with her, slamming him into the wheel guard on her truck, her steel blue eyes dark with anger. She didn't hate rap, not at all, she was just one of those people who only listened to it if a) there wasn't anything else on or b) she was in the mood… no, the reason she was pissed at him was because he had touched hergod damn radio!

"Listen and listen good you lazy, over privileged, melodramatic, metrosexual little bitch boy… do NOT touch my radio. Listen to and do whatever the hell you want to in YOUR truck, but you touch MY stereo again and I'll rip that little twig off and make you watch as I chop it up and feed it to the fishes your so proud of, got it?!" She yelled at him. He quickly nodded and held his hands up in surrender. "Good. Now get your sorry little puppy ass in the back seat, I have chores I still have to do at your ranch and then my own at home." She snarled, her eyes narrowing when he didn't move. "Did I stutter? MOVE!" She yelled, proud when he looked like he was about to piss himself as he scrambled into the back of her truck. She wasn't a possessive person, really she wasn't, but her truck was the only thing she could really say was hers. She had paid for it, paid the insurance on it, did the maintenance on it, kept her up and running and clean…no one else. She had bought this little beauty of hers off of her father…right before he ran out on them. She lovingly ran her hand over the wheel guard and walked back to her seat, popped the emergency brake back out, and started driving again. She looked at Sesshoumaru and smirked at his amazed and shocked face. "What?"

"Well, looks like the warnings I got from my office were right…"

"And what was that?" She asked, her curiosity getting the better of her as she changed her stations back. He smirked at her and chuckled a bit.

"Don't touch a Cowgirls radio." He felt his heart melt a bit as she smiled at him.

"Damn straight."

*taps finger to chin* This all seems very familiar Dana…

*nervous giggle* Well… remember when one of my guy friends touched your radio a couple of days ago when we were on the highway? I based this off of that… Anyway, sorry about making things WAAAAY OOC here…but it's AU, and you didn't have to read it but I thank you for doing so! Now, please make a new author happy and review for me??? *puppy eyes*

Love,

Dana & Andi
