Ch.2
"Ne Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha began.
"What is it little brother?" Sesshomaru responded.
"That lady…she's nice… she kind of reminds me of someone…"
"Hn, yes, she does have the properties of someone I remember as well." Inuyasha sat inside the tub looking at the water for a moment before he noticed the necklace around his neck matched his brothers.
"Sesshomaru?" once Sesshomaru looked at him from his end of the tub, Inuyasha continued. "Our necklaces match… that's weird…" Inuyasha went to pull the necklace off of is neck but Sesshomaru moved quickly and grabbed his hand.
"Sess-"
"Do. Not. Take. This. Off. Ever."
"Wha-"
"I will not repeat myself little brother." With that said Sesshomaru stood and moved to get out of the bath, but before he was fully out he turned to look at the door. "Woman, why do you linger there?" He said glaring at the door.
"Um…. Well I…. I wanted to bring you a change of clothes and….. Well the food is ready if you wish to eat," Came the reply from Mrs. Higurashi on the other side of the door.
"Very well, we shall join you shortly," Came the reply from little Sesshomaru.
'So mature for a child, honestly he looks no more than ten years old. And his brother looks to be the age of five. Hmm I suppose we can better discuss this later.' Mrs. Higurashi thought to herself, as she walked away from the door.
"Big brother do you not like her?" asked Inuyasha. Slightly startled Sesshomaru glanced to his little brother.
"I… don't... Know," he said with a sigh, "perhaps I am just wary of her. She is a stranger and she has taken us in like it was no big deal. I am unaware of her intent towards us," Sesshomaru said with a frown. Inuyasha simply shrugged and got out of the tub, they both got dressed and made their way to the kitchen by following the smell of food wafting up their noses.
"Wow that smells good!" Inuyasha exclaimed upon entering the kitchen, with Sesshomaru silently trailing behind him.
"I hope you like it, I didn't really know what you would like, plus dinner will be ready soon also I just made you a snack," Mrs. Higurashi replied with a smile. Inuyasha practically jumped into his seat and began digging in. Sesshomaru stood at the entry way to the kitchen san glared at the woman there.
"Woman, what is your intention with me and my brother?" He stated coolly.
"You make it seem like I have some evil intent towards you." She stated sweetly.
"Hn, how am I to know that my brother and I…"Sesshomaru trailed off as he yawned. Mrs. Higurashi chuckled and motioned for him to sit. Sesshomaru sat, a faint blush marring his features.
'Honestly he is so cute. Trying to act the part of big bad wolf.' Mrs. Higurashi allowed her gaze to travel to Inuyasha, whom was practically inhaling the snack, and then back to Sesshomaru. 'Im sure he does it all for his little brothers benefit.'
"You were saying?" she asked. Sesshomaru frowned as he tried to remember what it was he wanted to say to her. Instead of answering her he simply ate the snack in front of him. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and moved to check on the dinner. They settled into a peaceful silence, until it was disrupted by a door slamming open and a yell.
"MOMMMA!" the pitter patter of feet could be heard making their way for the kitchen, followed by the steps of two others, these other steps were slower. Sesshomaru sniffed the air and determined that they were two males and a female. Grabbing his brother and moving away from the table, Sesshomaru took up a defensive stance, determined to protect his little brother.
Mrs. Higurashi gave an odd look to Sesshomaru and was about to ask him what he was doing when her daughter came bursting into the kitchen.
"Momma! Momma! Hi!" exclaimed the little girl bouncing up and down.
"Hello dear," replied Mrs. Higurashi as she bent down to eye level with her raven hared daughter.
"Kagome you know you shouldn't run in the house!" came a gruff voice. A man that looked to be about fifty walked into the kitchen, followed by a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. Sesshomaru, with his brother behind him, remained silent and tried to fade into the wall as to not be noticed by the other people that entered the kitchen. Inuyasha peeked over his brother's shoulder and his eyes instantly zoomed in on the little girl still bouncing in front of the older woman that had found them in the well.
"Sorry grandpa! But I couldn't wait to tell momma!" exclaimed kagome.
"Tell me what?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"I finally made a new friend!" sated the little girl excitedly. The man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, chuckled and moved further into the kitchen. His intention to go the fridge and sneak a snack while his wife was occupied. However he stopped as he took notice of the two little boys in the corner, one with a look that spoke volumes.
"Dear? Who are our guess?" he questioned, motioning to the little silver haired boys.
"Hmm… oh! Well you see it's a long story," Mrs. Higurashi said, a slight blush coming to her face once she realized that she nearly forgot about the boys. As she was about to go into the explanation of the boys she was interrupted by her father's yell.
"DEMONS! Quick Sami get me the sutras!" yelled the man that looked to be fifty.
"Father I will not! You will calm down this instance you are going to scare them!" yelled Sami
"Sami's right, Jin. You need to calm down," Replied the twenty-five year old male.
"Don't tell me to calm down Dai! There are demons in our home!" Jin yelled.
During this entire spectacle kagome stared awe struck at the boys in the corner. To her she had never before seen such beautiful boys and she wanted so desperately to go and say hello. She wanted to become their best friend but she could see that they were scared. Glancing up at her mother, father, and grandfather, who were all too busy arguing about demons, to notice anything, she walked over to the boys but stopped just before she reached them. The taller boy with long straight silver hair had growled at her. Actually growled! Like a dog would, unbeknown to the boy that him growling only made her want to get to know him all the more.
"Hi! I'm Kagome. What's your name?" she asked with a smile on her face.
Sesshomaru growled at her again and Inuyasha took notice of how the kitchen had suddenly gone silent. Kagome tilted her head to the side and smiled wider.
"That's a weird name!" she said with a giggle. Inuyasha found that he liked the sound of her giggling. Sesshomaru was taken aback by the child in front of him.
'Does she not know what I am? There is no sign of fear from her… actually from what I can smell, her fragrance is that of spring and honey,' Sesshomaru frowned at his thoughts, shaking his head he glared at Kagome.
"You may address me as Sesshomaru." He stated stoically.
"What about you what's your name?" kagome asked the little boy hiding behind Sesshomaru.
"In-Inuyasha," He stated. Kagome beamed at them then turned to her mother and father.
"Momma, papa, can we go to my room and play?" kagome asked with bright eyes. Sami and Dai looked at each other and smiled.
"Of course sweet heart." Kagome squealed in excitement and grabbed them both by the hand, excitedly she dragged them behind her out of the room, chattering the whole way.
Once kagome and the two little boys were out of the room Sami and Dai laughed while Jin just shook his head.
"Sami, I don't like that you brought demons into our home, however im sure kagome will be pleased with them here." Jin said with a look in the direction the children exited in.
"I just hope they will be happy here," stated Dai.
"So you guys aren't mad that they are here?" Sami asked. When they shook their heads Sami squealed and jumped into her husband's arms. "I know they will make wonderful sons!"
With a chuckle and a light kiss to Sami's head Dai couldn't help but wonder if everything would be that easy.
'I don't know why but I feel as though our world has shifted. Something big is coming…I just hope we will be prepared for it.' He thought.
Soooooooo it is done the introductions have been made! Now the real fun can start: 3
