I had a new story idea and I really wanna know what everyone thinks of it. So yea... lol. I should probably be continuing Sesshomaru's Girl rather than writing a new story but it's been bugging me so I had to do it. Ok so it's not my usual pairing but it's still gonna be pretty good... I think... I have no clue where this story is gonna go lol.
DISCLAIMER: Me no own Inuyasha (cries) I wish I did as then I would bring chaos down to reign in the land of the Feudal Era where Kikyo is turned into fertalizer, Shippo doesn't like sweets, and Sango is the one that gropes people's a$$! Now there is a funny thought lol. Oh yes, and Sesshomaru will be happy and love Inuyasha... AHAHAHAHAHAHA yea when pigs fly (looks up in the sky) DAMN!! Well anyway read on darlings!!
Chapter 1
"Souta!!" I screamed. I dodged around the people leaving Tokyo Dome, searching for my little brother. At some point in the last two minutes he had disappeared completely. I sighed. He could be anywhere.
"Auntie Sango's gonna kill me." I muttered. My aunt gave me tickets to the event that she was the coordinator of and wanted me to bring Souta with me. It was for my 16th birthday and she wanted me to go. I closed my eyes and bit my lip to keep from crying.
I took a deep breath and began my search again. By the time I got to the first level to search for him the place was just about empty. It was helpful to my search, but also bad, as he could have been hustled out of the building and gone forever. Suddenly I heard his little laugh and gasped.
"Souta!" I yelled and followed the echo of his laughter down the hall and around a corner, where I stopped with a sigh. He was sitting on a man's lap being bounced up and down.
"Souta." I said, walking toward my four-year-old brother. He giggled and turned his head in my direction.
"Gome!" He squealed and squirmed around until he was turned to face me with his hands reaching out to me. He was lifted up in front of me by his underarms and I grabbed him from the man, our hands brushing as Souta was transferred from him to me. I hugged him to my chest and closed my eyes with a sigh.
"Thank god you're ok." I whispered. Then I heard a voice clear. A very familiar voice.
"Kagome." My aunt said. I stiffened and my eyes popped open, locking with the amber eyes of the man in front of me. My eyes flickered quickly to the fuzzy white triangles on his white-haired head, which twitched in my direction and then my eyes immediately returned to his. "Kagome." My aunt repeated.
I grimaced and then put a fake smile on my face, to the man's amusement. I spun around, grinning. "Oh, hi Auntie Sango. What's up?"
Auntie Sango narrowed her eyes at me, studying me intently.
"You lost Souta again, didn't you?" She asked. My smile widened.
"No… he's right- Ok! Yes I did! I'm sorry Auntie Sango!" I said, giving in at her skeptical look. I heard laughter and turned my head to see four men laughing at me. Two had long black hair and the other had the same white hair as the one that was playing with Souta.
"Maybe you should handcuff him to you." One of the black-haired men said. I snorted, studying him. His hair was waist-length and wavy and his eyes were red. He had blue eye shadow and red lipstick on.
"Yea and maybe you should decide if you're a girl or a guy." I retorted. His eyes widened slightly and then narrowed, as the others laughed harder.
"Kagome." Auntie Sango said. I ignored her. Then the other black-haired man decided to speak up.
"Maybe she should get a microchip implanted in him, so that if he does get lost they can turn him in and find out all of his information." He laughed. He had his long hair tied back in a high ponytail, pointy ears, and bright blue eyes. It was easy for me to see that he was a wolf-demon. I snorted again.
"Or maybe we should just leave that for you. You are a wolf after all, so I'm sure you're quite used to going to the vet." He growled, and the others burst out laughing, except for the red-eyed man. He still looked angry and was staying silent. I smirked.
"Kagome!" Auntie Sango repeated and again I ignored her. I looked to the white-haired man next to the wolf. He had long white hair that hung down his back, two maroon stripes on each cheek, a blue crescent moon in the middle of his forehead, amber eyes, red eye shadow, and pointed ears. I couldn't quite tell what he was.
"You seem to be waiting for me to comment on this situation, so I will humor you." The man said and smiled slightly. "Maybe you should put GPS tracking on him, to know where he is at all times." I smiled back at him and then snorted for good measure.
"Or maybe we should put it on you. You look like someone that needs to be kept track of." I said and the others 'Oooooh'-ed, except the red-eyed man.
"Kagome!!" Auntie Sango said a little louder. I continued my ignorance of her and looked at the last one. His little ears twitched around as he laughed at everyone. His bright twinkling amber eyes stared me straight in mine as he spoke.
"Maybe she should put a leash on him." I felt my lips twitch and commenced with the snorting.
"Yea, or maybe we should put one on you. I mean, dogs usually do belong on leashes in buildings." I said. I watched the twinkle in his eyes brighten as the others 'Oooooh'-ed again. Except, of course, the red-eyed man.
"KAGOME!" Auntie Sango screamed. I sighed and set down Souta as I turned to her.
"God, don't get your thong in a wad. What?" I asked. The men behind me laughed as Auntie Sango fumed. I felt the red-eyed man's eyes on my back and knew he hadn't been a part of the laughter.
"I believe it's a bad idea that you insult them." She said through gritted teeth. I frowned in confusion and she nodded her head to something behind me. I turned and noticed for the first time a huge poster behind the four men. It had them all together posing with "Shi Tamashii" written above it.
"Four Soul?" I asked out loud. I blinked at them and then turned my head to my aunt.
"These are the people that I just heard singing?" I asked her pointing to them. They all laughed and this time I heard a deeper voice that sounded mocking.
"What you didn't see us on the big screen?" The doggy-eared one asked. I turned to him.
"No, I was busy concentrating on Souta. First he got his finger stuck in his soda lid, then he dropped his Power Rangers toy in the popcorn, then he kept trying to put gum in the hair of the girl in front of us, then he repeatedly tried to slip out of his chair and leave, and then he really needed to go to the bathroom. So by the time I was done and got us back the song was on the last chords and people were getting up to leave." I said as I counted off the events. The guys stared at me in disbelief and Souta topped it off with a little giggle. I looked down to see him with his shoe off and his foot in his mouth. I felt my eye begin to twitch and I let out a deep sigh.
I bent down and began to put Souta's shoe back on his foot when I heard a wolf whistle, literally a wolf whistle. I turned my head slowly in the wolf's direction and glared at him. He was looking at my back. My eyes widened and I gasped, standing up as quickly as possible. I yanked down my shirt and smiled innocently at the suspicious look on my aunt's face.
"Kagome, what are you hiding?" Auntie Sango asked sweetly as she stepped toward me. I backed up slowly.
"Nothing." I said and laughed nervously, toying with the back of my shirt. I watched my aunt's eye twitch, and realized she was where I got that habit.
"Kagome Higurashi! You show me what you're hiding right now!" Auntie Sango screamed at me. I yelped and moved back, falling on the table. I quickly scrambled over it, right into the lap of the doggy-eared man. He grinned down at me and then looked up at my aunt. I looked in her direction and whimpered when I saw the evil grin on her face.
"Inuyasha, hold her down. Sesshomaru would you please lift up the back of her shirt?" My aunt asked sweetly. The doggy-eared man laughed and forcefully grabbed my hands and pulled them to my sides, holding me in place. He was obviously Inuyasha. Then the other white-haired man leaned forward and lifted up my shirt. He was obviously Sesshomaru. My aunt gasped at what was on my lower back. I groaned and buried my face into Inuyasha's neck. I felt him laughing against me.
"She's got a tramp stamp." The wolf said, laughing. I scowled.
"If he had just told her in the beginning I wouldn't have to be manhandled by two gorgeous men… never mind." I muttered softly. I felt Inuyasha chuckle softly and gasped. "You can hear me, can't you?" I asked him in the same voice as my confession. I felt him lower his head and his warm breath on my ear.
"Yes." He said. I whimpered again and tuned back in to my raving aunt.
"Kagome, how did you get a tattoo? You're underage, you would have needed per-" She stopped suddenly. I sighed. I didn't know what was so wrong with my tattoo. I thought it was rather cool. There was a medium sized skull right at the curve where my butt meets my back and it had rose vines laced throughout it that led off into supplementary designs halfway across my back. There were little thorns on the vines and a few black rose buds and full blooming flowers.
"Please tell me he didn't." She begged. I lifted my head from Inuyasha's chest and squirmed around until he let go of me. Sesshomaru let go of my shirt as well. I turned around in Inuyasha's lap and looked up at my aunt.
"Ok, he didn't." I said smiling. She sighed and looked at me angrily. "Ok he did, but in our defense he said it was an early birthday present!" I said enthusiastically. She scowled.
"You're only 16, Kagome." She said. I nodded.
"Yea, that's what I told him… but I'm not so sure you wanna know what his reply was." I said with a sheepish grin. I watched my aunt stiffen.
"MIROKU!!!" She screamed and turned to me. "I think I know what he said." She answered. I heard the sound of running footsteps as my uncle came into view. He happily sauntered up to us, giving me a thumbs-up as he took in the sight of me on Inuyasha's lap.
"Yes, my lo-ah!" He screamed as Sango turned around to face him her face formidable. I heard him whimper and he began to back up his hands held up in front of him.
"Why did you let Kagome get a tattoo?" She asked.
"She said she wanted one so I thought it would be a good present." He said with a weak smile. Sango growled.
"And what exactly was your response when she explained to you, my darling, that she was only turning 16?" Sango asked him in a deceptively calm voice.
"Eh heh, I'm sure you have an idea, my love." He said. Sango snarled.
"Yes I do, but I would like to hear you say it." Uncle Miroku swallowed hard.
"Uh, well… I told her that it would make her first time more fun, what with her partner being able to see it and making him happy while they… ahem." He said, making gestures rather than saying the word.
"You mean Bow Chick Ah Wow Wow." The wolf piped up again. Sango turned her head to him and snarled.
"Shut up Kouga!" She said and turned back to her husband.
"I really can't believe you! Korari would be turning over in her grave if she saw that tattoo! My sister made me her daughter's guardian and trusted me with her and you had to go and let her get a tattoo! You're sleeping on the couch for a month!" She yelled and after grabbing Souta stomped off, Miroku behind her, pleading.
"Kagome I'm taking Souta with me so he doesn't wander off again." Auntie Sango called to me over her shoulder. I cringed as she began cursing my uncle, not needing my answer. Once they were out of sight I sighed.
"Well that was a nightmare." I said in the silence left by my fuming aunt. I turned my body to face the four men in front of me and saw them staring at me wide-eyed. Then the four of us, excluding the red-eyed man, burst out laughing and I almost fell off Inuyasha's lap, but he caught me in time. I was still giggling when he wrapped his arm around me, and I couldn't stop tears from rolling down my face as my laughter slowly turned into sobs of misery.
"She's gonna kick my ass when I get home." I said. Inuyasha rubbed my back.
"You can always stay with us until she cools down. We know how Sango can be." Sesshomaru said. I looked up at him with teary eyes and my lip started trembling.
"Really?" I asked and saw his eyes widen and a light blush on his cheeks. He nodded wordlessly. I clapped my hands together. "Oh thank you! I might just get to live another day! Now who the hell are you people?" I asked. Inuyasha burst into laughter at how quickly my mood changed.
"God, your moods change about as quickly as Inuyasha goes through women." Kouga said with a laugh. I felt Inuyasha stiffen as I blinked blankly at Kouga and then slowly turned my head to lock eyes with Inuyasha. They'd gone as cold as ice cubes. Amber ice cubes. I looked at all the men in turn and kept my eyes locked with the red-eyed man when I came to him.
"I know everyone else's name but yours." I said. He snorted.
"And your point, little girl?" He sneered. I bristled, struggling out of Inuyasha's grip and standing up. I walked purposefully around the table to lean over the annoying, rude, obnoxious girly man. My breasts were probably easily visible from his position but I honestly didn't give a damn.
"My point is that no matter how annoying, rude, and obnoxious you are, I would like to know your name, girly man." I said. He growled and stood up suddenly, leaning over the table as well so that I had to back up or end up kissing him, which didn't sound so terrible as I first thought. He was pretty hot.
"My name is none of your business." He snarled and stood up, walking off. I crossed my arms over my chest. "Jeez, what's his problem?" I asked. The three men sighed.
"He doesn't like to be teased about his sexuality." Inuyasha shrugged. I turned to him and rolled my eyes.
"What a big baby. What's his name?" Inuyasha shook his head at me.
"He's had a rough life, so don't be so hard on him. He's a jackass for a reason, but anyway, his name's Naraku. He's 23." Inuyasha said. I nodded and then looked at him curiously.
"How old are you guys?" I asked. Inuyasha smiled.
"Kouga and I are 17 and Sess is 23." Inuyasha said. Then he laughed. "I'll even give you more information. I have a girlfriend, Kikyo. Kouga's engaged to a girl named Ayame. Sesshomaru's never been married, doesn't have a girlfriend, but he does have an adopted daughter named Rin, and Naraku doesn't have a girlfriend." Inuyasha said. I blinked at him.
"You have a girlfriend? But Kouga said you go through girls as quickly as my moods change, and they change pretty damn fast." I said. Sesshomaru laughed.
"Yea, he has an off and on relationship with her. We've given up on counting how many fights they have but it's still pretty entertaining to see. She is so insecure when it comes to him." He said, shaking his head. I snorted and crossed my arms over my chest.
"With the way he treated me if I was in her place I would too." I said, glaring at Inuyasha. He hung his head, shamed. I walked over to him and leaned over the table.
"Do you love her?" Inuyasha snapped his head up to look me straight in my eyes.
"Yes." He answered confidently. I nodded.
"You should call her and tell her that." I moved away from him with a smile and looked at the last two as he stood up and ran down the hall in the same direction as Naraku. Sesshomaru and Kouga watched me in awe.
"I don't think I've ever seen him run so fast." Sesshomaru said. Kouga nodded. I watched his back as he disappeared out of sight and then gasped.
"What's Kikyo's last name?" I asked. Sesshomaru looked at me in confusion.
"Shikigami… why?" He asked. My eyes widened.
"No way." I said, ignoring him completely. "Inuyasha goes to her school doesn't he?" I asked. Sesshomaru nodded.
"Yea, how'd you know?" He asked. I grinned.
"Because I go to that school too." I said and giggled as I began running down the hallway after Inuyasha and Naraku. I heard Kouga and Sesshomaru yell for me to wait but ignored them as I found the backstage area that had been turned into their dressing room. I opened the door after being okayed by the security standing in front of the door and walked in to see Naraku sulking on the couch, makeup-less, and Inuyasha pacing around talking animatedly on the phone and slipping in "I love you, you know I love you, right?" into the conversation. I walked past Naraku as he looked up at me and tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder. He looked at me in question and I motioned to the phone. He frowned but handed it to me.
"Hey Kikyo, it's Kagome." I said watching Inuyasha's face the entire time. I heard the door open and saw Sesshomaru and Kouga come in and stand by the door watching me with jaws dropped. I even had Naraku's attention.
"Kagome? What are you doing with Inuyasha's phone? How do you even KNOW him?" Kikyo asked, and I could hear her begin to get defensive.
"My aunt on my mom's side is their coordinator and so she gave me tickets for their concert today as a birthday present and made me take Souta. I lost him and found him playing with Inuyasha. Now my aunt's going to kill me as she found out about my tattoo so I'm staying with the guys for at least tonight." I explained into the phone and grinned at the shocked expressions on the men's faces. Kikyo laughed.
"Oh, you mean Sango and Miroku? Yea, I like them, though your Uncle seemed a bit shady to me." She said. I watched the four men's eyes widen as I realized they could hear our conversation. Demon hearing equals no private phone conversations.
"Yea he is. Remind me later to tell you what his reasoning for allowing me to get the tattoo was. You'll die. But anyway I wanted to say hi and tell you that you weren't kidding when you told me your boyfriend was drool-worthy." I said and winked at Inuyasha who flushed bright red.
"See!? I told you Kags! Ok well I have to go. Please say goodbye to Yashy for me, and tell him I love him. See you at school Monday." She said and hung up. I closed the cell and raised an eyebrow at Inuyasha.
"Yashy?" I asked, not bothering to repeat her request as Inuyasha had obviously heard her. He flushed an even deeper red than before but didn't answer.
"How do you know Kikyo, Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked curiously. I grinned.
"Well if you've seen her you've probably realized that we have a strong resemblance to each other and that's because she's my cousin on my dad's side of the family." I explained. Naraku snorted.
"I don't see the resemblance. She's beautiful and you're ugly." He said with a smug smirk. I snarled.
"Yea, well you look better with make-up on, though if you do decide to put some on, I won't be the one cleaning up the broken mirror shards on the floor." I retorted. There was a collective gasp in the room as Naraku growled and lunged at me, pinning me to the wall.
"You'd better watch what you say to me girl." He said in a soft yet dangerous voice. I laughed and moved my face closer to his.
"Don't dish out what you can't handle yourself." I said. He let out a low growl and let go of me. I watched him gracefully move toward the couch and sit down angrily. There was a dense black angry cloud over his head. I sighed as the others watched us in fear.
"I'm sorry for what I said. I just have a quick temper. Honestly you don't need make-up. You look hot enough to melt metal as it is." I said and watched as he glanced up at me, shocked and then looked away, the tension in the air slowly loosening until it was just about gone. Kouga grinned, deciding to break the awkward silence as I fidgeted after realizing what I'd said.
"Him, hot? Kagome, what the hell are you smoking?" he joked. Naraku growled at him.
"Watch it wolf." He said. Kouga snorted and was suddenly leaning over Naraku. I blinked in surprise. I hadn't even seen him move.
"And what if I don't? What could a cross-dressing half-demon do to me? The mighty Kouga?" He said regally. I swear I saw him beat his chest. So Naraku was a half-demon. How interesting. I laughed at Kouga.
"Show you style, or maybe how to be sexy." I said. Kouga turned to me with a frown and posed.
"You don't think I'm sexy?" He asked and looked like he was about to cry. I shook my head with a sigh. Men and their pride. I tried to backtrack as Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stood on the sidelines, snickering and Naraku looked like he was having an internal battle on whether he should smile or not.
"Um… well, that's not necessarily true, if you're into the 'Me, Tarzan, You, Jane' kinda thing." I said and saw his lip trembling. I raised my hands in defense. "No! I didn't mean it in a bad… oh, hell." I sighed, giving up. Sesshomaru laughed, wrapping an arm around Kouga.
"Ayame thinks you're sexy and that's all that matters." He said. Inuyasha nodded, biting his lip to stop the laughter from coming.
"Oh yea." He said softly, barely controlling his amusement. " She thinks you're a real charmer." I hit him as he covered his mouth to muffle a few giggles. Kouga looked at him teary-eyed and he turned to me with sad eyes. I sighed and faked a grin.
"If you weren't engaged I'd kiss you until you couldn't breathe." I watched in fascination as he began to perk up rather quickly and slipped out of Sesshomaru's grasp, strutting toward the door.
"Well I'm just going to go see my woman then, see you guys tomorrow, and Kagome, try not to miss me too much, and… uh, it'd be best if you didn't mention your obsession with me around Ayame." He said with a wink. I felt my lips twitch.
"Oh, don't worry, that won't be a problem." I said. Kouga grinned and left the room. I looked to Inuyasha wide-eyed as he fell on the floor, holding his stomach, and laughing. I shook my head and giggled.
"He's pretty interesting." I said.
"By interesting, if you mean self-important and so conceited it's disgusting to see, then yes he's interesting." Naraku snorted. I laughed and nodded at him.
"Yep, that's what I meant." I smiled and took the few steps toward the couch and sat down next to him. He blinked at me in surprise and then looked away. I kept the smile on my face. As long as he didn't insult me or try to scoot away from me I was good. I watched as Inuyasha got up from the floor and began to compose himself as Sesshomaru watched with an amused expression that seemed to have a little condescension in it too.
"So do you all live together or what?" I asked. Inuyasha shook his head.
"Kouga lives with Ayame and Sess has his own house. Naraku and I live in an apartment though. That's where you'll be staying." He said, knowing where I meant for the conversation to go. I nodded, but jumped when Naraku suddenly stood up.
"She's staying with US?! Why can't she stay at Sesshomaru's? He's the one who offered in the first place!" Naraku yelled. I blinked up at him shocked. Sesshomaru sighed.
"You know Rin doesn't take to strangers very well and I'm rarely ever there as it is as we're usually at your place, so it's smartest if she just stays there." He explained. I just continued to stare at Naraku in shock. He had been tolerant, but now it was like the thought of me stepping into his home was the worst kind of torture imaginable. I bit my lip, trying to keep myself from crying.
"I should probably just go home and face Auntie Sango's wrath. I've caused you all enough trouble as it is." I said softly. Naraku had opened his mouth to yell some more but froze at my words and all three turned their heads to look at me. I ducked my head and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to keep the tears in. It didn't work. I felt them slide down my cheeks and hit the tops of my hands folded in my lap. I heard a gasp and suddenly the couch dipped from weight on either side of me and I had two sets of arms wrapped around me.
"Kagome, please don't cry." Sesshomaru said, pulling my head against his chest. I sniffled as I felt the other set soothing me with one hand rubbing circles on my back and the other hand on top of mine. I knew it had to be Inuyasha as Naraku was avid in hating me and would never try to comfort me, of that I was sure.
"Great job Naraku. You made her cry." Inuyasha said. I shook my head trying to push away from them.
"No he didn't do anything. I was just thinking about never seeing the light of day again when Auntie Sango gets her hands on me." I said quickly, trying my hardest to keep Naraku from being blamed and then having him hate me even more. I was honestly confused as to why I cared what he thought of me. And I also realized that I wanted him to like me, which I usually didn't care about either. I heard a martyred sigh.
"All right fine she can stay with us." Naraku said. I gasped, lifting my head to look into his red eyes. I saw defeat in them.
"Really? You don't mind?" I asked eagerly. He crossed his arms over his chest and sulked.
"I mind, but right now I'm out numbered and I guess it wouldn't kill me to let you stay with us." He said. I smiled beatifically at him, and jumped up, quite easily, as my comforters were surprised at my sudden movement, and I hugged Naraku before he could do anything. He stiffened against me but I didn't let go.
"Thank you!" I said and finally let go of him at his noncommittal snort. I turned back to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha who were smiling at me and I clapped my hands together once. "Awesome! I want to see this place of yours Inuyasha, let's go!" I said enthusiastically. He grinned and stood up.
"All right!" He moved toward me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders and led me out of the dressing room, talking at top speed about the apartment. I was half listening as I turned my head back to see Sesshomaru pat Naraku on the shoulder and speak to him softly. I sighed turning around as I saw them begin to follow us and prepared for the ride to my temporary hideout.
