Confusing Situations
Day light broke across the horizon, casting bright luminous colors across the morning skies. Creatures stirred in the forest, morning dew made the leafs of every plant dotted with water droplets.
Somewhere at the border of the forest, in a meadow full of various flowers, slept a young girl on a colorful flowerbed. Her dark brown hair was spread in a disarray around her head on the soft grass and flowers. After a small while, her dark eyelashes fluttered open. Her brown orbs soon became wide at the two pairs of different colored eyes staring back at her. "AAAAAHhhhhhhhhh!" Rin yelled scrambling backwards in alarm. The silver dog crept forward on his four fluffy paws. He closed his gorgeous golden and blue orbs, then licked the tip of her nose. Rin soon after realized the pup was no danger and relaxed with a smile on her face as the pup kept licking her face with his rough tongue.
A huge distance away, Jaken and Ah-Un had turned their heads in her direction. Jaken came running with his staff at his side. "What was that scream for child?! The whole forest must have heard you!" His yellow orbs widened at the pup being petted by the girl, only -unlike Rin- he realized it wasn't an ordinary pup, for it was a dog demon. "Rin, get away from the dog demon! He may be a pup but he can still be dangerous." Jaken stood in a stance. The pup stopped it's actions and turned it's head to look at Jaken with narrowed eyes. Jaken gulped, the pups glare seemed some how very familiar, and deadly. Where have I seen that glare before?, Jaken thought as he narrowed his yellow orbs. "Step away from her pup!" Jaken called out taking a few steps forward. The small dog demon huffed. And to the two's astonishment, the dog demon transformed into a boy.
A/N: He is actually not small in size -he's about the size of a huge dog, but for a dog demon that is pretty small.
Jaken & Rin's eyes widened at the silver haired boy who stood tall -at about three feet- in front of them. "Why can't I play with my big sister?" Akihiko pouted, Jaken is always a short meany. Rin stood up, then looked slightly downward at him, gasping in delight. She picked him up and hugged him to death. "Kyaaaa! I have a younger brother! Rin is so happy!" she cried with joy. She gasped in realization and dropped him with a breathless expression on his face. Akihiko gave her a questioning look as Rin pointed a finger at him. "You're Lord Sesshomaru's son!"
Jaken gawked at the two with a frown on his green forehead, I can't believe her! How can she ever come to the conclusion that the demon child is Lord Sesshomaru's son-
"Yup." the boy smiled up at Rin with his eyes closed. Jaken's jaw fell, slightly twisted. He huffed and stomped his way to the silver haired boy. "Now don't go telling lies! I have been with Lord Sesshomaru for decades, never had I seen, or heard him mention, anything about a son! I've never even seen him in love with any woman-!"
"Lies." Akihiko said simply. Jaken was about to go on another rant until a certain someone arrived, landing gracefully in front of the trio.
He said nothing, but instead gave Jaken a callous glare. That's when it hit Jaken. Jaken gasped and hurried after Sesshomaru who was walking towards Ah-Un. "My Lord Sesshomaru, when?!" Jaken questioned glancing at Akihiko. Sesshomaru stood still. he then grabbed Ah-Un's reigns. "Hn."
As if that answered any questions.
Or it could be -for once- Sesshomaru simply just didn't know how to answer Jaken's question. But then again, it could be he just didn't feel like it.
"I still don't see why they have to travel with us." Inuyasha grumbled to himself. Kagome resisted the urge to roll her icy blue eyes, of course she had heard Inuyasha's comment. She let out a small sigh and shook her head.
The group gathered their things and equipment, there was long journey ahead of them.
"Sis! Big Sis, look what I got!" Akihiko exclaimed with a wide smile. Rin gasped in delight at the -mostly blue- bouquet of flowers Akihiko was holding up. "Are they for me?" Rin asked, her face expression fell when Akhiko shook his head. Instead, Akihiko took out another bouquet of flowers from behind him, and presented their wide variety of pinks to the brown eyed girl. "These are for you." He said smiling lightly. Rin smiled as well and took the flowers from him.
"Hurry up you two!" Jaken called back at the two children. "Lord Sesshomaru won't wait for you, so hurry-" his green face slammed into a still Sesshomaru, Jaken then fell backwards at the strong impact. He gasped while looking up at the tall demon, He is now waiting for them!
The two youngsters ran up to them, Sesshomaru continued walking. Pretty soon, even Ah-Un had passed by a still baffled Jaken.
Rin grinned, "Hurry up Master Jaken! You are falling behind!" she cajoled him. "We are about to leave you, so you better come!" Akihiko called over his shoulder. Jaken shook his confusing train of thoughts away, and ran after them. "Lord Sesshomaru! Please, don't leave me behind!"
Rin & Akhiko laughed at the sight of the short imp struggling to catch up. They looked back ahead at the back of the tall figure. Rin glanced sideways -to her right- at the pretty blue flowers still under the tight grasp of Akihiko's left hand. "Say, Akihiko," Akihiko turned his head slightly to his left. "Who are those for?" she pointed with a curious glance at the blue flowers. Akihiko grinned, "They are for my mommy." Rin gasped, Sesshomaru glanced back at the boy out of the corner of his eye.
Sesshomaru inwardly sighed. Here they go-
"Your mom?! That's right, since Sesshomaru is your dad, then there must be a mom!" Rin glanced ahead excitedly at the dog demon, then turned to Akihiko. "Please tell me who your mom is! I must know who conquered my Lord Sesshomaru's heart!"
Jaken turned his wandering gaze to them, now with full attention. He was also quite curious.
"Rin." Sesshomaru said. If Rin found out, she would surely never shut up about the matter that someone 'conquered' Sesshomaru's heart. Especially if she found out who it was.
Rin became quiet.
"Who is it?" the words escaped Jaken's beak.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru said roughly. Akhiko still hadn't gotten the clue. "My mommy is Kagome."
Silence.
Then came Rin's squeals.
"Why are we waiting here?" Shippo asked hopping on Kagome's shoulder. Before Kagome could answer, Inuyasha did. "We're waiting for Kagome's boyfriend." he said bitterly. "Or should I say, her future-"
"Sit boy!"
Down the hanyou went.
Suddenly, a powerful demon aura arrived, it was somewhere nearby. Kagome bit her lip nervously. Inuyasha pulled himself up from the crater he made on the hard ground. Sango and Miroku exchanged glances, then looked south to where the other travelling group was approaching. Kirara mewed and hopped on Sango's shoulder.
Kagome slightly blushed, she could already hear Rin's little song, lyrics flowing clearly from the shortening distance.
"Lord Sesshomaru- and Kagome, sittin' under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G~!" Rin sang happily. Akihiko gave her a confused look, "What does that spell? Kis-" he said starting to sound it out before stopping abruptly and looking straight ahead. "Mommy is up ahead!" he & Rin exchanged a glance before running ahead of the tall demon.
Sesshomaru inwardly sighed. What an uncomfortable situation this is.
Akihiko jumped straight into the arms of Kagome. "Mama! I missed you last night!" he nuzzled his cheek on the crook of her neck. Kagome ruffled Akihiko's silky silver hair, "I- I missed you too." she smiled, a new type of feeling surging in her chest as she stared into the different colored irises her supposed future son had. "These are for you!" Akihiko held up the blue flowers he had gathered. Kagome smiled, "Thank you."
Rin walked -with a wide grin plastered across her face- towards Kagome who had put down Akihiko. "Kagome, Rin wants to know how you made Lord Sesshomaru fall for you."
Kagome almost fell backwards.
"Oh, I see." Rin said, "So, little brother Akihiko comes from the future? That is so cool!"
Kagome sighed, that had been one heck of an awkward explanation. "But still," Kagome glanced sideways at Rin who had a glimmer of mischief in her chocolate eyes. "that still means you and Lord Sesshomaru end up together."
Kagome glanced quickly over her shoulder at the said dog demon, she looked at Rin, doubt filling her icy blue eyes. "Err, I don't really know." she said. Rin shook her head, then smiled, she's in denial of the truth.
Ahead of them, was a pair of whispering males. "You have to tell Kagome the truth." Miroku elbowed Inuyasha. Inuyasha shook his head, he was too proud. Miroku sighed, well, in the end it had to come to this. "Inuyasha, I really don't want to say this to you, but I guess I'll have to spell it out; If you don't tell Kagome your feelings, Ice king over there," he said jabbing a thumb over his shoulder, "will become Kagome's mate. Not to mention the proof of their love is walking on his two feet, right next to Kagome." Inuyasha's golden irises widened. He sent a glance over his shoulder at Akihiko who was happily talking to Kagome & Rin. Inuyasha sighed, "But that also means, if I tell her...Akihiko will never be born."
Miroku thought over it, he smiled at his friend and patted his shoulder. "What?" Inuyasha said huffing. "You are really conceited Inuyasha." Inuyasha glared downwards to his right at the small fox kit who had apparently been walking beside him the whole time. Inuyasha's fist landed a small blow on Shippo, causing the poor fox kit to cry out in pain. "Baka Inuyasha!" Shippo stuck his tongue out, "Bluuuh!" the ginger haired kit ran backwards towards Kagome to complain. Miroku chuckled. Inuyasha sent a glare sideways at his violet eyed friend. "What?!" he demanded.
"What Shippo means is, even if you tell Kagome your feelings, there is a chance she won't return them. And then-" Miroku was interrupted. "-she ends up with my bastard older brother either way." Inuyasha growled slightly. "I am not necessarily advising you tell her because I want you two to end up together, because there is a huge chance that you won't considering Akihiko over there," Ouch. "I'm saying you should because if you don't, you'll live on with regret."
Inuyasha's dog ears slumped.
"Do you smell Naraku anywhere?" Miroku called up to Inuyasha who was perched on a tree branch looking at the wide view from above. "Nope." Inuyasha hoped off and landed on the dirt ground, spreading dust everywhere. Miroku and Sango coughed. Kagome sighed, "Naraku is probably putting up a barrier to hide his presence. The problem isn't really breaking the barrier, it's finding it."
Kirara transformed, Sango hopped on, "We'll go search from above. The rest of you should probably set up camp, the sun is setting. We'll be back soon." with that, the duo flew away into the colorful setting sky. "Shippo, Akihiko, let's go search for branches we can use for firewood." Rin said calling over to the two males. Kagome sent a worried glance at the three children, "Um, you three shouldn't go by your selves-" "Don't worry Kagome," Miroku walked up behind the three, "I'll go with them. The rest of you can go hunting. Oh! There's also a river nearby." Miroku said before he ran off, chasing after three laughing children.
Oh great, Kagome realized in dismay, I'm stuck with the two Inu brothers. Kagome turned on the heels of her feet to face the two men. She had her sleeved arms held behind her back, her right hand grasping the elbow of her left arm. She gave them a sheepish smile, "W-well..it looks like we are on hunting duty together." Both Inuyasha & Sesshomaru snorted, simultaneously, which made them both even more annoyed at each other. Kagome gulped as the pair glared at each other, the enmity they felt for one another was obvious, for their irritation rolled in waves off of them.
She could practically feel their stares boring into her back as she splashed around in the sparkling river water, trying to catch fish. Kagome had her white uniform sleeves rolled up to her elbows, her shoes and high knee socks were resting by the sandy bay. The hem of her green mini high waisted skirt was drenched wet. Droplets of water dotted her clothes and body, causing the cloth to cling to her figure.
It would be easier to catch fish if those two would help me instead of watching me struggle. Kagome thought with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was blushing slightly as he realized Kagome's light blue bra was visible due to the wet white uniform cloth. He turned his head to Sesshomaru who was standing under the uneeded shade of a tree, staring intently at Kagome, but for a different reason, one not involving her visible undergarments. Inuyasha -being the dense hanyou he is- growled at Sesshomaru's staring. Sesshomaru didn't even bother to raise an eyebrow, what an idiot.
Inuyasha rushed into the river towards Kagome who had just caught a trout. She smiled as she saw him coming towards her. "Inuyasha, I caught another fish! With this we don't need anymore-" "Good, so let's get you out of the water. Quickly." Inuyasha picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. "Huh?" Kagome let out. She raised an eyebrow. What the heck?
I watch the woman take of her shoes and the odd cloth going up to her knees, she then rolls up her sleeves and moves forward into the river. She begins to catch fish, missing a lot of the times she tries. This Sesshomaru, of course, could easily catch them without getting wet, but I simply just don't feel like it. Instead I stand, deep in thought.
Is this really the woman I mate in the future? I wonder. How can it be this miko? This woman is human. Has my future person forsaken this Sesshomaru's morals? How is that even possible? That woman is human, and a miko. This Sesshomaru is most definitely sure that idiot wants to court her, yet, why and how, do I come into the picture? It must be because of some sort of curse. A spell? A love potion?
No, I shake my head, there is no such thing.
I narrow my eyes at the woman, Just what is it that would cause that woman to be desired by my person?
Sorry guys, that's it for now. I'll update sooner next time though.
