FAQ
A) How old are they?
In this fic, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru have approximately the same age…there's only a few months of difference between them. Unless a specific remark, all the youkai students of my fiction have about 20 years old.
B) Do Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru know they are brother?
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru don't know they are brothers…not yet! (grins)
C) How are you going to make A SessXRin romance if Rin is still a child?
Don't worry, faithful readers, I have already solved this problem^_^ It will be revealed in a couple of chapters, in fact it's one of the punchs…
D) Is Inuyasha a full demon or a hanyo in this fic?
That's ALSO one of the punchs…this matter will have a deep impact in the story. For now, let's just say that others youkais can't detect if he is a hanyo or not: he reeks human because he's always surrounded by them, but he looks like a full demon!!
E) Does Kogetsu have only this little role of a teacher?
The answer is: no, of course!! Kogetsu (as always-_-) has a key role. But hey, we're only at chapter 1, so have a little patience…Ahhh when you'll know about all my punchs you're going to kill me for having making you wait so long…(runs for hide).
With that, I stop talking. Happy reading!^_^
My Human Pet
Chapter2
Sesshoumaru parked his luxury car and cut the contact, sighing. As soon as he would enter, Jaken would literally jump on him to take stock of the day and a planning of the next weeks, as the worthy steward he was. After that he will lock himself in his room for another long and dull session of study. Jaken would come to bring his supper, he would study again, and after he'll sleep.
Jaken was at his service since his birth, and it was the only person that Sesshoumaru supported enough to let it live in the same building as him. First tutor, then secretary and steward, odd-job man, he was the only one with which Sesshoumaru really trusted. Jaken was to him devoted body and heart, and this until he dies.
He sighed again. Better finish this quick.
He get out of his car and put his index on the fingerprints detector, which emitted a small "biip" before opening the door of the huge manor.
-Master Sesshoumaru! cried out Jaken while waddling to him, looking ridiculous in his penguin outfit (A/N: tuxedo. You didn't really believe he weared a penguin costume, did you?)
Sesshoumaru let himself fall on a chair while Jaken was being busy taking off his coat.
-Hard day, Master?
-Hard day indeed…An horrible session homework for the human course…said Sesshoumaru while hiding his eyes in his palm in a weariness gesture.
The advantage with Jaken was that he could act as he wanted without fearing that this might taint his image.
-What is it, if I could allow myself to ask the question?
-We're going to accommodate and study a 8-years-old human girl for 3 months…
Jaken choked. His face turned red and Sesshoumaru believed for a moment he was doing a heart attack.
-w…WHAT??? HOW??? It's still this new teacher's fault, isn't it??? Lower yourself to that!! I hope you have refused!!! It's completely unworthy of your row!! This damn scorpion, he is surely with the human rebels!!! And I-
-Come on, Jaken, don't be stupid…I count on you to prepare its room.
-ROOM? A simple place on the kitchen's tiling will be enough!!! These beasts don't deserve better!!
-You want me to get a zero for my experiment, Jaken? We're going to treat it with all the care in the world, food and room included. I'll go buy it tomorrow. The subject is closed. What are the news?
Jaken knew better than protesting, and after a sigh, regained his customary composure, clearing his throat before making his daily report.
-You have received the two-headed beast you have ordered…I put it in the stable…you have also received an invitation from the businessman Naraku to go at the reception given for the launching of his new medicament…I've accepted it, of course…
-WHAT? Oh, no!!! Jaken, not that!! Why must I go visit this weirdo?
Jaken stayed silent, a sorry look on his face.
-NO, no, don't tell me, let me guess. "I'm the son of InuTaisho and therefore called up to become one of the directing head of the country, without counting that I will inherit his financial empire and because of these facts must fulfil the responsabilities coming with it". Right?
Sesshoumaru got up abruptly and went upstairs, before locking himself in his room and collapse on his bed.
His life was so boring to no end.
****************************
Sesshoumaru ran one's eyes over the youth section of the Rouki petshop, well known for the quality and the good maintenance of the humans that it sold, but especially, for their beauty. Sesshoumaru did not want a ugly human: being himself, according to all female teenager magazines and in his own opinion, the most beautiful youkai in sight, it would have been a pity to ruin his image.
The glazed cages were especially designed to prevent human from being wounded in the interior. The ration of food and water was deposited in bowls screwed on the ground, and a small reserved space enabled them to do its needs and its toilet in a pretence of intimity. (A/N just imagine a high-tech prison cell and you will have the idea).
The seller moved forward to him.
-Sesshoumaru! What an honor you do to my humble establishment!! Can I help you? Are you looking for something in particular?
Sesshoumaru hardly looked at him.
-A healthy, cooperative and lively 7 to 9 years old human female.
-Yesyesyes…at once…we have plenty…look, there is already one, compartment 54. Very cute, don't you think so?
The little blond girl had two braids and weared a blue jumper. When she saw Sesshoumaru, her green eyes grew big of fear and she hided at the bottom of her cage.
Sesshoumaru had a small scornful sniff. It was surely not with this that he'll get a good mark for his lab.
The seller showed him several others, all pretty; russet-red, brown, much bolder ones which knocked in the pane but always retracted when Sesshoumaru knocked there too; the majority tried to flee, the others were completely amorphous. Some expressed some spirit, but without more. He liked none.
-Is this all?
The seller swallowed hard. He had showed his most beautiful merchandise. Franctically, he searched through his papers.
-Wait, yes…perhaps I have something that will please you and satisfy your criterions, if that doesn't bother you too much that it's a little damaged…
The seller leaded him in the "defective" section where human afflicted of an unspecified tare were gathered: that was going from a simple deaf person to a amputated one . Due to their conditions, they were less expensive.
-Here…compartiment 58…I've received it yesterday.
Sesshoumaru kneeled down in front of the cage. A small girl, thin and weak, wearing an old worn yukata, was playing with a little string. Her long black hair were free, exception made of a small ponytail on the side of her head. When he knocked in the pane, two large curious brown eyes looked at him with curiosity but without apparent fear.
-Why isn't it afraid? It's a retarded human or is it just stupid?
-(searching through his papers)…the inspectors called it a "traumatic experience"…They say it was caused by the shock of seeing his parents killed in front of her eyes.
-Does it has another default?
-Er, yes…it's mentioned that it's mute, but not since birth…the supplier wrote that it was screaming very well when it was captured, but that it locked itself in its silence since the incident.
-Open the cage.
-Yes sir.
The seller took his bunch of keys and opened the cage, taking the child before putting it in the arms of Sesshoumaru, which inspected thoroughly. With her many bruises and her swollen eye, it was easy to guess that she had been beaten, but she seemed in rather good condition nevertheless. Plus she was quiet and was letting him inspect her without too many fuss, except when Sesshoumaru had wanted to check her intimate parts, in what she violently corporally had protested by holding her yukata tended in front of her and kicking everywhere.
Sesshoumaru remembered that most of the pre-teens were very prudish.
-Is it clean?
-Yes, yes…just wait a second..(he readed its card) It's 8 years old, it's clean, it has beem vaccined for typhus, rage, lockjaw, smallpox, hepatite B, almost all vaccines…no operation.
Sesshoumaru was looking at the small girl, holding her at arm's length. Minus these small defaults, she was answering all his conditions: joyful, cute, cooperative and energetic. Moreover, if her traumatic experience and her silence weren't from birth, maybe he could cure her, which would be a immense plus for his experiment.
The only thought make him fantazise. He would have the best mark.
-But think about it…it's less expensive…
Sesshoumaru lifted up the girl.
-You want to come with me?
A big shiny smile answered him.
-So…?
-I take it.
-Perfect, perfect…hold it tight, I'll put a collar…
-This will not be necessary.
He needed to make her trust him as fast as he could.
-As you want, sir…please follow me to the cash-registrer…you will surely take a starter kit with that, no?

I KNOW that the action is slow!! It will be still for some chapters. Think that it's to establish the atmosphear and to make you have the right picture of what occurs. I pass a huge amount of time to write and revise my chapters, and all that I can say to you it's that each word has its importance!!! That will enable us to have great action chapters without being slowed by details or explications, and most of all without that the explication seems to came out right from nowhere!!!
Thanks to: duckknight, NewFan, Cookie6, Wakadori Ramen, EvilBunnies1, Cattico, MageofDarkness, Labyriana and Angel64^_^ Your reviews made me so happy and willing to continue! Next time I'll try to answer individually to each of you, but for this chapter I thought that a FAQ section would be better, since you have approximately all asked the same questions, what do you think?^_^
Please forgive me to post so late!!
See you all in chapter3 (which will be ready Wednesday, if all is going well…Dam school it will kill me…)
