A/N: Naze da? Naze da? Why? Hmm... how do you say 'why the world is so mean to me' in Spanish? Darn. I can't believe I can't even write that in Spanish and I've taken Spanish for 3 years? Man, junior yr. Spanish is gonna kill me! It's gonna kill me when the teacher's gonna make everyone speak in Spanish, this includes conversation and asking questions. I may be able to read Spanish. I sure can't speak it. It's gonna sound like broken Spanish unless I have it written before I say it. Pues resulta que el mundo es muy mal por mi. (I don't know what I just said but I think I was trying to say that "it just happens so that the world is very mean to me." Do correct me if I'm wrong.) Alright, enuff bout my pain and let's go on to the next chapter of this lovely story.
Mas preguntas? Bueno. Vamos a empezar leyendo el capitulo 10. Lolz.

Chapter 10

"Sesshou?" Rin nudged her mate. "Sesshou? Are you awake yet?"
"What?" yawned Sesshoumaru, opening his eyes. "What is it, my Rin?"
"Um, Sesshou, can I ask you a favor?" Rin batted her eyelashes at Sesshoumaru.
"Rin, I know that look. What is it?" answered Sesshoumaru, "what is it now that you want me to do for you?"
"Well, you see, I promised Kagome-chan that you would do her a favor."
"What did you tell her that I would do?"
"Uh, you would punish Inuyasha for her?" asked Rin, innocently.
"I certainly will not!"
"Please?" begged Rin.
"No."
"Pweety pweese with a cherry on top?"
"No, Rin. I will not be blamed by Inuyasha for doing something I have no intentions of doing."
"But Sesshoumaru," pleaded Rin putting on her best puppy eyes. Those eyes Sesshoumaru could never resist.
Sesshoumaru looked at his mate and groaned, "not the puppy eyes! Alright, alright, I agree. I'll help this time, but the next you won't be so lucky."
"Thank you, Sesshou. I just knew that you would help me," Rin said happily and hugging Sesshoumaru.
"Rin, can you please let go of me so I could get changed. I need to begin my plan to punish my little brother's stupidity."
Rin let go of her mate and wondered curiously on what her Sesshou was planning. Unfortunately, whatever the plan Sesshoumaru has in store for Inuyasha is never good.
Someone entered Inuyasha's room, as quiet as a mouse with a bucketful of black charcoal.
He slipped into Inuyasha's room and quietly dumped the black charcoal on his beautiful white-silver hair. Too bad for Inuyasha who slept soundly like a cow didn't even notice someone enter his bedroom.
'That ought to teach him to not mess with women!' thought Sesshoumaru to himself.
Two hours later, the sun rose from the sky, brightening the whole dojou. Kagome was the first to wake, thinking what Sesshoumaru did to punish Inuyasha. 'I bet it's something dreadful. You never know as long as it comes from Sesshoumaru, it's dreadful and miserable. That ought to teach Inuyasha to never call me a wench.'
Everyone was at the breakfast table and was about to commence when Inuyasha trotted into the dinning room. Everyone stared, wide-eyed at Inuyasha.
"What?" asked an annoyed hanyou.
Miroku was the first to speak, " Inuyasha, it isn't the new moon yet, so why are you human?"
"What do you mean, bouzo?" Inuyasha asked and looking at his claws, realizing that they're still intact.
"Inuyasha," began Sango, "what Miroku meant is why is your hair black?"
"What?! What do you mean it's black?" Inuyasha demanded an answer as he grabbed a handful of his hair and say black stuff lingering to it.
"Who the hell put this in my hair?" glared Inuyasha.
Kagome, who thought this was ridiculous, couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my gosh! This is just too funny!"
"Kagome!"
"I didn't do it. Honest! I didn't even enter your bedroom!" Kagome raised her hands to show that she was innocent.
Inutaishou was getting annoyed, asked, "alright, fess up. Whoever did this to Inuyasha's hair?"
Miroku looked at Sango, Sango looked at Rin, Rin looked at Kagome, and Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. Everyone turned to stare at Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru," scolded Inutaishou, "I am ashamed of you. How could you do this to Inuyasha?"
"I didn't do it intentionally, Father," replied Sesshoumaru, nonchalantly. "Rin asked me to do it."
Everyone averted their eyes to Rin. "Rin?"
"Hey, it wasn't me. I only did what I thought was a good punishment for Inuyasha because of what he said to Kagome."
"Alright, alright," said Kagome, "I confess, I confess. It was me who asked Rin to ask Sesshoumaru to get back Inuyasha for me because he called me a 'wench.' Sheesh! Everyone's so serious around here. It was just a joke. And besides, I think Inuyasha here look quite more like a gentleman with black hair, don't you think?"
"Kagome," snarled Inuyasha. "You wouldn't want your hair whitened, do you?"
"Heck no, then I'll look like an old hag!" laughed Kagome.
Inutaishou clapped his hands together and said, "Kagome, since it was you who started this, you're going to clean it."
"What do you mean, Inutaishou-sama?"
"What I mean is that you're going to have to wash the black charcoal out of Inuyasha's hair!"
"But—
"No 'buts' young lady! I am your father and I demand you to follow my orders!" hollered Inutaishou. He won't tolerate Kagome to disobey orders even if she isn't his real daughter.
Kagome, who was never yelled in her whole entire life, was in near tears. Not even her real father holloered at her. Kagome ran out of the dinning room in tears.
"Kagome—
Sango tried to stand up to follow Kagome but Inutaishou touched her shoulder, asking her to sit down. "Let Kagome be alone for a while. She needs to learn to respect her elders and as well her friends. She'll come back after she's think it through."
Everyone continued to finish their breakfast silently for they've never seen Inutaishou yell before.
Meanwhile, Kagome perched herself on top of a tree branch and sat there, sobbing quietly to herself. She thought, 'no one's ever yelled at me before. Maybe I should obey Inutaishou-sama's orders because it was him who accepted a human girl into the family. I should go apologize,' thought Kagome as she wiped the last tears away from her face. Kagome straightened her posture and walked back into the dojou. She walked into the dinning room to find no one but Inutaishou sitting, cross-legged on a mat meditating.
Kagome approached Inutaishou and kneeled before him, "Inutaishou-sama?"
"Yes, Kagome?"
"I came back to apologize for my behavior this morning. I realize I should obey an elder's orders and be respectful to them as well. I hoped you forgive me," Kagome bowed her head.
"Kagome, I realize I was a little harsh back there. I know I shouldn't have yelled at you but I forgive you, Kagome. Now go finish cleaning out Inuyasha' s hair. When you come back, I have to teach you something."
"Ok" chirped Kagome. With that she went to look for Inuyasha. (A/N: Man, does Kagome recovers quickly or what?)
"Inuyasha," Kagome called, "you baka! Where are you?" Kagome was getting tired of looking for Inuyasha. Then out of nowhere Inuyasha jumped down from a nearby tree.
"Feh! Wench! I thought you would never come back! You know, my hair is dying here if you don't clean it up soon. I don't have all day, not mention my hair doesn't have all day either."
The first thing Kagome did when she turned around to face Inuyasha was she slammed her fist at Inuyasha's face. Luckily, Inuyasha was alert and he caught her fist just in time.
"Whoa, woman! Watch where your fist goes. You could have smashed my face with that iron fist of yours!"
"Whoa, you! Watch what your mouth says!" frowned Kagome, "I don't like being called a wench, you hear?"
"Oh, so you wanna be called a bitch?" smirked Inuyasha.
"NO! That's even worse!" yelled Kagome, now pulling Inuyasha's mane HARD.
"Ow! Ow! Watch the hair! Watch the hair!"
"Not until you apologize!"
"Alright, alright, I apologize!"
. . .
"What do you say then? Hello?!"
"I'm sorry..."
"Now that's better!"
"Wench!" growled Inuyasha under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!" Lucky Kagome doesn't have dog ears or else she would have heard that.
Both reached the hot springs in five minutes. Kagome and Inuyasha both sat by the springs and Kagome sat there scrubbing his mane.
"Ow, woman! Is this how you wash hair? Scrub them like dirt?" complained Inuyasha, pulling his mane loose from Kagome's grasp.
"That's what you get when you get me to wash your hair! I am not gentle with men's hair."
"So you're telling me that you won't be gentle with you husband's or your son's hair if you ever get any?" smirked Inuyasha.
"That would be none of your business, mister!" answered Kagome with her nose in the air.
"Oh, so now I'm a mister, eh? How 'bout calling me a lord or something? That would most sound really appreciating," joked Inuyasha.
"How 'bout 'NO!'! You're no lord to me!" stressed Kagome, tugging at his hair.
"Can't you be gentle?" groaned Inuyasha.
"Alright, I'll be gentle..."
"Ahhh, now that's a little bit better," relaxed Inuyasha. Bad move.
"Only for NOW!" emphasized Kagome as she began pulling and scrubbing like crazy again.
"Damn...should've kept my mouth shout," muttered Kagome.
After a while of scrubbing, Inuyasha's mane was once silver and white again, free from black charcoal.
"Wow!" exclaimed Kagome as she suddenly realized how soft and shiny Inuyasha's hair was.
"I never knew your hair was that smooth and shiny. Now I wish I had my long hair back!" whined Kagome.
"So you had long hair?" asked Inuyasha, dumb-folded.
"Well, yea, before I had to cut it! Besides, short hair makes it easier to maneuver weapons."
"So," said Inuyasha.
Before he could start, Kagome noticed two triangle fuzzy dog ears perched on Inuyasha that she never bothered to notice it before. They were twitching! Kagome couldn't help but tweak his ears.
"Hey! What are you doing? They're sensitive, you know!"
"Come on, I was just touching them! No need to shout!" her hands still playing with Inuyasha's ears.
"Are you done?" asked Inuyasha.
Kagome stared at Inuyasha for a while and noticed how handsome he can look sometimes despite his potty mouth.
"Oi!" Inuyasha waved his hands in front of Kagome's face.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I must have spaced out!" Kagome turned her face away for she realized that she was blushing like crazy.
"Oh yea, now that I'm done cleaning your hair, I have to go find Inutaishou-sama. He told me that he was going to teach me something!" Kagome ran.
"Oi! I'm coming with you!" Inuyasha raced after her.
"Inutaishou-sama! Inutaishou-sama! I'm all done!" called Kagome.
"Here you are, Kagome. I called you to come so that I can teach a new sword technique that I will only teach to one person," said Inutaishou.
"What? Shouldn't you be teaching these techniques to your sons instead?"
"No. I want to teach to you, Kagome because I think this technique will help you in the future. And I guarantee you that you will learn it by today. "
Inuyasha heard everything and was standing with his mouth gapping open. Miroku, who was standing there the whole time heard it too and commented, "Inuyasha, looks like you've got competition. And I might say, it's not polite to stare with your mouth wide-open, is it?"
"Shut up, Miroku! I can't believe Father decided to teach it to that wench! I mean, did you hear he said that he will only teach it to one person, and that person isn't me!"
"It's not polite to call a woman 'wench.'" frowned Miroku.
"What do you know about women?"
"Oh, I know plenty about women," replied Miroku, counting off everything he knew about women.
"Yea, you know much hentai stuff!"
"Hey!"
"Shhhhh! They're about to begin!"
"Kagome," they heard Inutaishou say, "get ready and watch my every move. After that, I want you to show me what you saw so I can rectify any wrong moves."
"Ok, Inutaishou-sama."
"This sword technique is called Bara no Kizu. (A/N: I couldn't think of any name so I called it 'Cutting Rose' instead.).
Kagome watched intently, scrutinizing and memorizing Inutaishou's every move. 'He's good,' she thought, 'and I can't believe that I'm being taught a sword technique from a great inu-youkai!'
Who would knew that Kagome would be able to learn so quickly and evade any errors as she swung each move slowly.
"Wonderful," applauded Inutaishou, "you are a wonderful martial artist. Even Inuyasha couldn't learn a technique without making any mistakes. Wonderful!"
Kagome was proud. She was lavished with great adulation. 'Inutaishou was correct when he said that I would be able to learn this in one day! I can't believe it, I just did! Hah! That ought to teach Inuyasha not to mess with me!'
Now Inuyasha was shocked. He wanted to learn this technique and he wanted to learn it now! He quickly ran towards his father, "Father! Father! Can you teach me that Bara no Kizu technique?"
"No."
'NO. Just a plain 'no?' thought Inuyasha, "why not?"
"Because," sighed Inutaishou, "I only teach this technique once and I decided to teach Kagome, therefore, you are not learning it."
"Why her? Why the wench?" asked the annoyed hanyou, biting his teeth.
"Wench? Is this how you treat Kagome? She has a name you know so call her by her name!" hollered Inutaishou. He can no longer tolerate his son's mouth. Too frustrating.
"Fine! I'll call her by her name from now on." 'Yea right!' "SO please, can you teach me?" prodded Inuyasha.
"No. I have my reasons for teaching Kagome this sword technique. And besides, once you claim her as your mate, she can teach to you," laughed Inutaishou at his son's red face.
"Father"
"Enough now, I have to go back inside for meditation. Don't bother me," Inutaishou said as he turned to leave.
Inuyasha was going to learn this technique one way or another. He was going to make Kagome teach it him even if it means claiming her. 'Yea right. Like I'm going to do that,' thought Inuyasha, disgustingly. 'I'll have to find a way to make her teach it to me with claiming her. And I will find a way.'

Inuyasha: Stupid woman! Why did you have to learn this technique?
Kagome: Because I'm special.
Inuyasha: Special my ass!
Me: Watch the language, asshole!
Inuyasha: And you're telling me to watch my language.
Me: Oopps!
