"Speaking"

Thoughts


"If you're trying to get me to babysit again you can forget it." Inuyasha grumbled as he roughly shoved some files into his brother's hands.

"No, Rin will be spending the day with me." Sesshomaru said, "Kagome has requested your presence."

"Kagome?" Inuyasha said his ears twitching from his excitement. Sesshomaru imagined a wagging tail and dripping tongue hanging from his mouth, and started choking on his suppressed laughter.

"Freak...I'm going to go play Wii with Rin." Inuyasha muttered.


It seemed that Inuyasha had managed the official police reports, some information on older Rin's parents, and some stuff on the woman he'd killed the night he took Rin.

"I wounder how he always manages to get his hands on this information." He spoke aloud to his empty study.


Kagome arrived an hour later since her college finals had begun. But she came with a bow and arrows, and completely suceeded in confusing everyone.

"Where exactly are we going?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, where the hell are you two going?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Somewhere that could possibly be dangerous, but I imagine I'll manage to get a lot of answers." Kagome said.

"Can I have a bow and arrow set?" Rin asked as Kagome drug Inuyasha out to her car by his shirt sleeve.

"When hell freezes over." Sesshomaru told her. "Now come we have work to do." Rin pouted as she followed him up to his study.


"Who are we going to see that is so dangerous?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome started her car.

"Did Sesshomaru tell you what Rin told us last night?"

"He told me everything and had me listen to the recording...I was disgusted by what I heard." Inuyasha answered, his eyes narrowing at the memory.

"Do you know anything about Naraku?" She asked.
"I know that he's the bastard my ex-girlfriend left me for."

Kagome glared at him, she knew that already. "My sister is a dark priestess, and used to see him from time to time." Kagome said.

"Your sister sounds like a slut." Inuyasha said.
"She is, and I ran into her ex once before they broke up...we were all in high school."

"What happened?"

"Well, he was planing to propose, I didn't want him hurt since he seemed like a nice guy." She explained, "I tried to tell him she was a slut. He got mad called me a jealous bitch and stormed off."

"What a bastard!" Inuyasha said angry that anyone had dared to treat Kagome in such away.

"Yep, he found out on graduation though when she turned up pregnant and tried to pin the baby on him. Didn't even try to apologize to me, just kept glaring at me from across the room like it was my fault."

"What if he tried to apologize to you?"
"I wouldn't forgive him, I had low self esteem in high school and everything he said really messed me up for a while. I hate him even to this day."

"Talk about a grudge." Inuyasha whistled.
"He doesn't deserve my forgiveness, everything he said to me that day was uncalled for. I doubt he even wants my forgiveness, and if he wanted it he'd have to earn it." Kagome shrugged.


Sesshomaru and Rin had spent the morning looking at photos and names from the files that Inuyasha had brought over. She'd recognized Kagura and Kikyo.

"They used to babysit me."
"I'll have to locate and question them." Sesshomaru said. Though the name Kikyo did sound familiar...as did Kagura, but he had no idea why.
