The next morning, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, Ayame, Rin, Sesshomaru, Bankotsu,and Koga all stayed home from university. Rin tended to the girls whenever they complained about headaches or pain, Sesshomaru did the same for the boys. But paid extra attention to Inuyasha and his wound. Though he knew he had nothing to worry about, it still worried him that his little brother had been shot. Sighing, he takes out his phone, and sends Rin a text.
Are the girls alright?
After sending the text, Sesshomaru walks into Inuyasha`s room. "Hey little brother." Inuyasha flickers an ear in Sesshomaru`s direction- and looks away from the book he was reading. "How`s your shoulder doing?" Inuyasha shrugs. Sesshomaru sits at the edge of the bed, and gently brushes his hair out of the wound. "You`re healing a bit slowly," Sesshomaru says, frowning. "Shall I call father?" Inuyasha looks up from his book-that just so happened to be The Maze Runner- and shakes his head. "Mother?"
"I`ll call mom in a bit," Inuyasha says quietly, Sesshomaru nods and gets up, Inuyasha reaches up and catches his wrist in his hand. Sesshomaru looks over his shoulder, "Uh- thanks for worrying about me." With a final nod, Sesshomaru tugged his wrist out of his brother`s gentle grasp, and started to walk to Koga`s room. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He takes the IPhone out of his pocket, and looks at the message Rin sent him.
The girls are just fine, Kikyou is bitching about her foot. But besides that, everyone is fine. Kagome is worried sick about Inuyasha. Speaking about him, how is he progressing? Any better?
Sesshomaru leans against Koga`s doorway and smirks as he tapes out a message. "What are you smirkin` at?" Koga croaks from his bed, moaning in pain as his headache surged back, ten times stronger. "Are you sexting?"
He`s healing a bit slowly- I think he might have shattered his shoulder. I`ve asked him countless times if he`d like me to take him to the hospital, but he keeps saying no. Perhaps it`s because he`s worried mother and father will come up from Southern CA and baby him. We`ll never know. Tell Kikyou to come visit her boyfriend- he wants to see her.
Finally sending the rather text, he looks at Koga- bewildered. "Sexting? This Sesshomaru does not sext-especially with Rin." He mutters, placing the back of his clawed hand over Koga`s forehead.
"Rin? That short little adorable girl? You like her! Oh, man this is the best day-" Koga stops midsentence, groaning in pain. Sesshomaru chuckles.
"No, I don`t like her. Rin is just a friend of mine- we barely know each other. I`ll bring you some more aspirin- that is if we still have any." Sesshomaru mutters the last part under his breathe, but Koga picks up the statement. His eyes go wide, as he looks up at Sesshomaru.
"We`re running low on Aspirin? No we can`t! Those little tablets of cherry flavored Ibuprofen are by babies today! How the hell am I to survive-" Once again the scentance is cut short, this time because of Miroku`s scream for Advil. He knew everyone`s preferences in Ibuprofen. Inuyasha and himself preferred Motrin. Hojo and Koga preferred Aspirin. And Miroku and Bankotsu preferred Advil. Sighing, Sesshomaru turns and walks out of the room- leaving Koga to scream after him about his `precious pills`. Rolling his eyes, Sesshomaru pushes Miroku`s door open with his back, when he turns around a pillow is thrown at him.
"I`ve been screaming for five flippin` minutes! What the hell took you so long?" Sesshomaru glares at him, and picks up the pillow, tossing it onto his bed. Miroku sniffles, and coughs. Before quickly reaction down to the garbage can and vomiting into it. He looks up, with a red face and a runny nose. "C-Can I have some Advil now?" He asked, Sesshomaru groans and walks out of Miroku`s room. "Thank you!" He calls after him. Sesshomaru skips the visit to Hojo`s room. He was still sleeping and his room was literally the definition of a Unicorn`s insides. His phone buzzed in his hands.
Awh :( , Kagome says that she`s terribly sorry about what happened last night. But I find it super unfair that he`d want to see Kikyou instead of Kagome- I mean she`s just super broken and looks really dazed. She talks but quietly. Kikyou just bitches about her foot, I`ll send her over right now. Speaking about bitching- how are the others?
Sesshomaru smirks as he grabs a bottle of Advil and Aspirin from the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. He set them down on the counter and quickly tapped out a message in response to Rin,
A few words; Kikyou times one million six , plus a few wailing cats.
Picking up the bottles, he walks out of the bathroom and down the stairs, where he takes out two bottles of water. Hearing knocking on the door, Sesshomaru walks over to the door, and uses his free hand to open. "Hello." Sesshomaru says, when he sees a fuming Kikyou, Kikyou huffs at him, and limps towards the stairs. He looks across the street at Rin who was holding a sign saying 'shes a bitch right?' Sesshomaru chuckles, and nods his head before closing the door. He walks up the stairs after Kikyou and walks into Koga`s room. "Here." He says, tossing a cold bottle of water and the bottle of cherry flavored aspirin at Koga. Koga quickly catches them, and squeals in delight when he opens the bottle of aspirin. Sesshomaru them crosses over to Miroku`s room, and dumps two pills of Advil in his hand, and hands him the bottle of water.
"Why aren`t you just giving me the whole bottle?" Miroku asks, reaching out to get the bottle from Sesshomaru`s hands, Sesshomaru slaps his hand away, "Hurtful!" Miroku whines. Sesshomaru snorts, and walks out of his room. He walks across the hall into Bankotsu`s room.
"Hey." Bankotsu says, sitting up in his bed. Bankotsu stops highlighting his notes, and closes his laptop. Sesshomaru shakes the bottle of Advil in his hand, and Bankotsu grins. "You know me so well," He says, holding out his hands to catch the bottle Sesshomaru tossed at him. Sesshomaru shrugs, and collapses into the beanbag chair Bankotsu had setting the foot of his bed.
"Miroku screamed at me for not coming into his room exactly when he needed me." Sesshomaru says, Bankotsu laughs. His hair was not in the usual braid it was down his back, it was loose and wavy hanging down his bare back. "And before that Koga fucking complained when I said that we might be out of Aspirin, he called them his babies." Sesshomaru says, using air quotations when he said the word babies. Bankotsu laughed again and shakes his head. Sesshomaru glares at him, "I swear today I`m everyone`s maid, just because I decided to not get drunk, that reminds me how the heck did you and Hojo get back?"
Bankotsu shrugs, "My brother, Ginkotsu was there, so he kind of gathered up Hojo, Jankotsu and I and drove us home when he realized that we were drunk as hell." Then he rubs his eyes, and sits back in his bed. "But that was a fucking wicked party though. What time did you guys leave?" Sesshomaru looks down to his hand, and counts on his fingers.
"At about five am, after Inuyasha got shot." Bankotsu`s eyes went wide, and he leaned forward. "Yeah, Kagome was about to be raped and he stepped in and saved the night. The party was great- but it was dangerous."
"Holy shit, is he okay? Is Kagome okay? Where was he shot?"
"Shoulder. I`m pretty sure he shattered it but he won`t let me take him to the hospital. He won`t even let me call father and his mother to tell them what happened.'
"He doesn`t want them to worry," Bankotsu says, swinging his legs over the edge of his bed. He stands, and stumbles a bit before walking over to his dresser, he takes out a purple shirt with a slight v neck. It had long sleeves. Bankotsu pulls down the sleeves to cover his hands. "Man it`s cold," he says and looks out of his window. "And it`s cloudy, is it supposed to rain today?" He asks, beginning to braid his hair.
"Yeah I think so." Sesshomaru says, in a monotonous voice. His eyes narrow and he catches a glimpse of an impressive looking sword propped on it`s side against his dresser. "What`s that?" Sesshomaru says, jerking his head in the direction of the sword.
"What`s wha- oh! that! It`s Banryū, a sword that I got from my dad. Jankotsu has a weird one, I forgot what it`s called but it`s snake like." He says, picking up the large sword. "It`s surprisingly not heavy. Dad said it looked like a pole-axe, but I said it looked a lot more like Zanbatō." Sesshomaru nods.
"You were right, it does look like a Zanbatō," Sesshomaru says, getting up. "Say, can I use this to hit Inuyasha across the head when he does something stupid? Which is always."
"I heard that, you good for nothing, dirtball!" Inuyasha screams from his room, and then lets out a weird noise of pain. Bankotsu laughs.
"I guess so." Bankotsu shrugs, "When you cross over to the netherworld."
"I`m a demon, I won`t cross into the netherworld for another thousand or so years, I`m only twenty-four." Sesshomaru says, and then realization strucks him and he glares at the human-turned-demon next to him. "Next time, remind me to not help you when you have an awful hangover."
"Will do, Sessh." Bankotsu says between laughs. Muttering something about annoying people, Sesshomaru picks up the Banryū, and lays it in his lap as he sits down on the beanbag chair.
"Room for one more?" A voice snaps them out of their own little worlds, and the two demons look to see Shippo standing at the doorframe.
"Shippo, shouldn`t you be at school?" Sesshomaru asks, as Shippo sits down on the floor next to him. Shippo shrugs.
"Didn`t feel like it." He says, and then smirks at Sesshomaru. "Say, shouldn`t you be at school too?"
"Yes, but Inuyasha has a major hangover and got shot last night and some idiots got hungover too so I`m a maid today." Sesshomaru says.
"Shippo, it`s your first year of University, it`s not good to not go to class because you don`t feel like it." Bankotsu says, crossing his arms.
"No fair! You guys are all Sophmores and skip when you want!"
"Shippo, not even Inuyasha skips when he wants. He`s been studying hard everyday. Except for today, but he has a good reason. And I`m not a Sophmore- I`m a Junior." Sesshomaru says.
"If you`re a Junior why are you in Sophmore classes?" Sesshomaru punches Shippo on the head. Shippo screams and rubs his head.
"You have a big mouth." Sesshomaru says darkly.
"Agreed." Bankotsu nods his head, sighing.
"Let me get this straight, you think I`m having an affair with Kagome?" Inuyasha snorts, Kikyou purses her lips and nods. "We aren`t even married!"
"But we will be!" Kikyou screams, Inuyasha rolls his eyes, and winces as he sits up.
"Oh, yeah okay sure we are. Don`t you think this relationship is falling apart?" Kikyou`s eyes went wide.
"W-What do you mean it-it`s falling apart?"
"Don`t you try to fucking deny it." He said sternly, looking at her with cold amber eyes. "I saw you dancing with that other guy last night. Inuyasha then turns on the tv.
"Now in the celebrity, Singer, DJ, and formal soccer play for the US national team, Inuyasha Takahashi was seen kissing his friend and DJ partner in crime, Koga Wolf last night at a party. Girls, you might want to grab a box of tissues, it seems as though he`s into the male anatomy." The reporter says. Inuyasha groans and takes out his phone, looking through his twitter and then he opens his DM`s. He had a message from Skrillex- a compliment for his performance last night. Sighing, he replies and then looks up to see Kikyou staring at him. "What?" He snaps.
"It`s Kagome isn`t it?"
"What the fuck is wrong with you woman! I don`t fucking like her!" Inuyasha screams.
"Good, she`s a whore." At that, Inuyasha throws his legs over the edge of his bed, and stalks towards Kikyou, Kikyou backs up against the wall. Inuyasha ignores the pain in his shoulder.
"Whore? Whore? You know who`s a whore? You are! You walk around with skirts and shirts that are five sizes too small, and you show a little bit too much cleavage! Kagome actually knows how to dress! She knows when to show cleavage and when to not show cleavage! She doesn`t sleep around! I know you sleep around! I fucking know you do! But you know why I act like I don`t know? Because I`m freaking loyal! And Since your apparent `boyfriend`, I fucking pretty much have to be nice! And don`t go blaming Kagome for being the reason this relationship is going nowhere," blood was beginning to drip from his wound.
"Inuyasha-" Kikyou stares slowly.
"Because it`s you! It`s fucking you! You`re the freaking reason we don`t work out! Get that through your head!" Inuyasha coutinues to rant about the problems Kikyou has with herself.
"Inuyasha-"
"Don`t fucking interrupt me! I`m talking!"
"Inuyasha your shoulder is bleeding!" Kikyou cries. Inuyasha looks down at his shoulder, an instantly a sharp pain darts through his arm and shoulder. He takes a few steps back, and collapses onto his bed. He starts to breathe rapidly.
"G-Get Sessh, now."
"Don`t have too." Sesshomaru says, rushing to his side. He takes Inuyasha`s head and rests it against his chest. "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"N-No."
"Inuyasha," He says quietly, "You have to. We can`t take this bullet out of your shoulder here, it`s not safe. You`ll get an infection." Inuyasha smiles painfully.
"I`m a half demon remember, I can fight off any infection I get. Besides, Kikyou is a doctor. She knows what to do." Sesshomaru turns to look at Kikyou.
"I-I guess I can take the bullet out, but I won`t stitch him up. He is a half demon- my professor said that if someone is a half demon or full demon, no stitches will be needed after the disinfection and fixing of the injury. Because after that their bodies will repair themselves." Kikyou explains.
"Okay, fine, whatever Kikyou. Just get this thing out of my brother." Sesshomaru says.
"I`m gonna need twesers, hydrogen peroxide, cottenballs,, water, and a bowl you won`t mind having a bloody bullet dumped in." Sesshomaru nods, "Go, NOW!" wincing, he scurries away. Inuyasha lays on his stomach on his bed, his hair tossed over his shoulder. His arms folded under his chin. Kikyou sits next to him, he flickers an ear at her. His eyes glued to the floor in his room. "Aw, honey, do you feel okay?" Kikyou asked softly, rubbing circles into his back.
"I feel like shit." Inuyasha says softly, then turns his head away from her. Kikyou sighs and stares out his window.
He`s thinking about Kagome...is it possible? That he could love her? No it can`t be! They`re completely against each other! But the way he looked at her yesterday while we were playing volleyball..., Kikyou tightens her grip on Inuyasha`s blood red duvet, No, she will not steal my Inuyasha. Even if it means killing her...
"He drove me mad last night." Sango says, rolling her eyes, "When Miroku is under the influence of alcohol his pervetness goes up to level one million and he can`t shut the hell up." Sango continues, sitting on Kagome`s dark blue duvet.
"So- are you trying to say that you like him? Or that you hate him?" Ayame questions, picking at the green paint on her fingernail. Sango snorts.
"Ugh, no I hate him. He`s such a lecher and thinks he`s so fucking smart- it`s unbelieveable!" She says, reaching under Kagome`s bed for her bow.
"Hey!" Kagome says, sitting up straight on her bed, "don`t touch!"
"It`s sounds to me that you like him." Rin says, Sango acts like she`s scratching her cheek with her middle finger. "Oh fuck you too." Rin grumbles, rolling her eyes.
"No, nu-uh. Like is Kagome and Inuyasha." Ayame says, staring at Kagome with a sinister grin, "I`ll admit, Inuyasha is a super attractive guy. But last night, with the paint and all that. Holy. Shitballs." The girls laugh at Ayame. "What? Kagome if you don`t want him, I`ll take `em."
"I don`t get what`s gotten into us, one minute we`re arguing the next minute we`re kissing." Kagome grumbles. "But even if I do like him- I can`t have him- he has Kikyou, remember?" Sango groans in response.
"Girl, if theres ome thing I know, It`s that their relationship is not working out." Sango says. Ayame nods.
"Earlier today, a few minutes after Kikyou went over, I heard him screaming at her. Something about sleeping around. I couldn`t hear very well though, his bedroom seems large so if he screams the sound bounces all over the place." She says.
"His bedroom is large..." Kagome mutters. Rin, Ayame and Sango stare at her like she`d grown two heads.
"What?!" Rin screams, "You`ve been in Inuyasha`s bedroom!"
"Only once! After I went for that run, and never came back." Kagome explains, "I kissed him like twice that night too..." Kagome mutters.
"So last night wasn`t the first time you`ve kissed him?" Sango gasps, "my god Kagome, what else are you hiding from us."
"Oh I knew," Ayame laughs, "His scent was all over her. Didn`t you guys notice that the shirt she was wearing was about five sizes too big?" Ayame winks at Kagome, "I just didn`t make a big deal. Come to think of scents- he smells really fucking good. Like Eucalyptus mint and lavender."
"His pillows smell like Jasmine." Kagome confesses. The girls squeal. Rin waves her hands.
"Whoa, whoa whoa, what? Excuse me? Okay, time to spill the deds you obviously like him."
"Rin, we aren`t even friends- I don`t know what we are." Kagome says, you know exactly what you are to him- a mistress, a toy to satisfy his desires. "B-besides, Neither of us have any idea what the hell we were thinking, the first two times. Plus last night we were both drun- ow! Hey, Ayame, pass me the Ibuprofen." Kagome points at a bottle on her dresser. Ayame takes the Ibuprofen and tosses it at her.
"So whay you`re trying to say," Sango and Rin ask, "is that- none of those kisses meant anything to either of you?"
Kagome ignores the question, "Can you overdose on Ibuprofen?"
"Kagome!" All three of her friends cry. Then they sigh, and get up, planning another prank on the boys. Rin suggests pranking Bankotsu.
Later that night, Kikyou had finally finished taking the bullet out of Inuyasha`s shoulder, and was wrapping it up. "I`d advise you to not overwork yourself for the next couple of weeks." She says. Inuyasha smirks at her.
"You know, I love it when you talk like that." He says, kissing her neck.
"Funny just a few hours a go you were calling be a whore." Kikyou responds, moving to stand up, Inuyasha grabs her hand, and tugs her closer to him.
"Well I was mad." He whispers in her ear, "C`mon Kikyou, you were calling someone you barely know a whore."
"Oh so now you`re defending her?"
"Baby, I`m not defending her, I`m just saying the truth." Inuyasha says, smirking.
"Maybe you should be a lawyer." Kikyou whispers back, "I think it`d be sexy if you yelled at someone in Court."
"Objection; I think my client needs to stop talking and kiss me." Inuyasha says.
"I say we use this neon green, and bright hot pink and neon yellow." Rin says, holding out the vomit worthy colors. Ayame and Sango nod. "Okay, I get the paint, Sango and Ayame you girls get the rollers or whatever, now move! Home Depot closes in twenty minutes!" With that, Sang jumps into the cart, and Ayame pushes the cart down the aisle. Rin runs towards the stand where the man was waiting. She hands him the sickly color pallets.
"Prank?" He asks, chuckling as he takes a bucket of paint out from under the counter and puts it in a machine. Rin nods.
"We should get black spray paint." Sango says, taking three bottles of spray paint as they zoom by the shelf. Ayame stops abruptly and takes fifteen packages and small cups and roller things to put the paint in. "Why so much?" Sango complains as Ayame dumps everything on her.
"Because," Ayame says, patting her head, "I have better idea, why don`t we paint their Frat house?" Ayame suggests, smiling evilly, "It`ll be the ultimate prank."
Sango smiles with her, "But we sure do use a lot of paint."
"I know, but painting is fun, and awesome. Especially when you get to piss off a tribe of hot men." Ayame says, giggling as she pushes the cart back towards Rin.
"Ayame?" Ayame turns around; and gasps. "What are you guys doing here?"
"K-Koga, we were just buying supplies to paint Kagome`s room." Ayame says, Koga narrows his eyes, but nods and walks off with a guy that had long lavender hair; a moth demon.
"Smooth Ayame," Sango says as she starts to push the large orange cart again, "smooth."
"I know." Ayame responds, flipping a long strand of auburn hair over his shoulder. "I`m awesome."
"You guys got every- whoa, Sango get out the cart. You`ll break it." Rin says, laughing.
"Are you calling be fat?!" Sango hollers, causing both Ayame and Rin to laugh at her, "Guys! It`s not fat...it`s muscle." Sango blushes and gets out the cart, helping Rin with the paint. "Why did you get fifteen buckets of paint?"
"Fifteen?" Rin asks, taking another bucket, "but it`s five of each." Ayame face palms; how the hell did her friend get though her freshmen year without knowing her basic times tables. It didn`t really manner anyway, she herself went through elementary and the first year of middle school not knowing her times tables. "Ohh, now I get it. five times three equals fifteen."
"Okay, you should stick to becoming a journalist. It suits you; and you won`t have to show a class how to add and divide; your math skills are cringe worthy." Sango laughs. Rin rolls her eyes.
"Well little miss Neurologist, I`m not that smart." Rin snaps.
"You aren`t smart? I`m the one in the Culinary school." Sango turns around, and pats Ayames head. She heightens the pitch of her voice and scrunches up her nose.
"Don`t worry Ayame, we need you in the sorority, who else is gonna make us food withut burning it?" Ayame glares at Sango, and crosses her arms.
"Uh, Kagome?" Sango deadpans.
"Good point." Sango replies dully. "Rin, should I sent out a mass text to the girls." Rin looked at her like she was crazy, "Ayame thinks we should paint the whole house instead of just Bankotsu`s room."
"And then you say you`re the dumb one, that`s a brilliant idea!" Rin says, and nods at Sango. Sango sends out a mass text, excluding Kikyou, but including Hojo since he was on their side.
"Attention! Home Depot will close in five minutes." Ayame looks up and around the ceiling as the voice talks, and then turns to the girls.
"Well girls," She says, "let`s get fucked up." With that, Ayame runs, and makes a sharp left with the cart, Rin and Sango run after her.
Koga and Moyromaru get out of the way as Ayame zoomed past them with a cart. "I swear those three are up to no good." Koga grumbles, squinting at them as they run away. Moyromaru looks at him.
"Are they girls from that sorority that lives in front of us?" He asks.
"Ooooohhhh yeah," Koga breathes out, "and they`re all trouble."
"Every. Last. One. of. Them." Koga says darkly, Moyromaru blinks at him.
"Koga?"
"Yes?"
"We`re in the middle of Home Depot, that doesn`t sound scary."
"Shut up and let me have my fucking moment."
"Okay."
A/N: Hey guys! Okay don`t scream at me for making Sessh OOC but I want to make him different in this fanfic; I don`t want him to be a jerk to Inuyasha, I want him to be a protective big brother that worries a bit too much and cares deeply for him (though he won`t show it in public). Okay? Okay. (*wink wink*) Anywho! Heres the new chapter! Fav, Review, Follow and all that jazz!
P.S- I just noticed that this was the longest chapter ever! 4,000+ words! Woohoo!
