A/N: Alright! I'm back after dying. Multiple times. High school is a hell, especially for me, I'm a freshman. But, I finally got inspiration for this story! *especially this story, I love this one.* But you need to thank my buddy, I-squid-you-not, for getting me on it. She really is a big help.


Beads! Chapter 4

Dad?

"Who's the ugly girl?"


Sesshomaru's eye twitched.

The insolent child had insinuated-no, clearly stated, that he was FEMALE.

He was most certainly NOT female. Why, at the very mention of him women would drop!

Kyou was staring at him and looked to Sango.

"Who is she?"

Sango doubled over laughing, as did Kagome. After a few minutes of loud, uncontrollable laughter, the women managed to compose themselves, wiping away tears.

Kagome looked at Kyou. "That isn't a girl. That's a man, honey."Kyou looked unbearably, adorably confused.

"But he looks so girly….!"

"I do not appear feminine, brat."

Sango whipped around and glared at Sesshomaru. "He is a customer, Sesshomaru. Manners."

This resulted in a squabble, as usual for the two, Sango's side being why customers, especially children, should be treated with respect, Sesshomaru's side being why he should care.

While the two were arguing, Kagome took the child aside. "We should get looking for beads while we can. If we wait for those two to quit arguing, nothing will ever get done around here. Anyway, what kind of beads do you need?"

Kyou unclenched his small fist to reveal a bracelet with a broken strap, many beads missing, all alternating between forest green, midnight blue, and pitch black.

All were small plastic beads, some with cracks.

"My dad gave it to me, before he died."


A/N: Hahahahaha! I screwed you guys over yet again! Oh well. I got stuff to do. Might as well leave people with a cliffy for my own sick amusement. Anyway, you guys know you love me. ** But I should be doing some regular updates now, but don't expect it. That's all I can say. Thanks for reading!
