Chapter Seven
Shippo had been searching tirelessly throughout the night for Sango and Miroku's 'missing' clothes, and as dawn rose over the mountain crested panoramic landscape of feudal Japan, Shippo had collapsed in a deep and imperturbable sleep underneath the Goshikinbu tree. Any creature living or undead did not disturb him as he dreamt away.
Meanwhile, Kagome awoke from her content sleep, as she reminisced in her dreams how much she enjoyed herself with Hojo. She stretched out her toned arms, and side glanced at her clock on the bedside table. It read ten o' clock. And while it was a school day, she seemed to not notice as she gently pushed aside her covers, and hopped out of bed onto the soft floor below. As she approached her desk mirror, her face became grotesquely engulfed by a humongous yawn, while she gently rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. Finally, she truly opened her eyes to the brilliant morning, and sighed happily,
" I had such a great time last night!" Kagome exclaimed to the birds that whistled a cheerful tune beyond her balcony and window. Kagome sighed again and said to the outside air,
" Hojo really is a nice guy! I don't know why I never gave the poor guy a chance till now. He only like worships me. At least more than that dumb Inuyasha ever did!" The memories of her 'previous' existence brought the familiar pain into her heart, the pain and sting of cold rejection for a cold-hearted corpse made out of clay. She felt tears brimming on her brown eyes as her heart again dwelled in the sadness of that previous existence. In frustration, she banged her fist on her bedside table and, somehow the radio turned on about the same time. A smile fell naturally on her pink lips as she heard the familiar tune and beat of the cheery upbeat song, Freckles (Sokabasu), by Judy and Mary, the words comforted her heart,
" All the memories I see are beautiful in my mind,
But it doesn't feed the hunger deep inside my soul,
And tonight I thought I would be sitting in my sorrow,
But I cant help wonder why what I really means to you.
I just can't see it any more!"
Oddly enough, Kagome found herself humming the cheerful tune, and smiled broadly as she uttered,
"Too true, "just above a whisper.
Since Kagome had forgotten about school that day, she absently hummed as she skipped down the stairs. She felt her downtrodden spirits rise as she smelled the sweet taste of delectable mochi permeate her nose as she entered the modern kitchen.
"Mmmmm.Mom that smells absolutely delicious!" Kagome chirped as she let its sweet, encouraging smell invade her nose yet again. Kagome's mom turned her attention from the current task of creating her grocery list, towards Kagome,
" Kagome, why are you home so soon?" she asked with the same cheerful grin implanted on her face. Kagome rolled her eyes and retorted,
" I sort of live here mom! Just because I'm normally in feudal Japan, doesn't mean I can't come home!" Still, her mom maintained her sweet smile and said, under an amused laugh,
"Oh, I didn't mean that Kagome. Today is a school day and you're home so early." The words 'school day' caused Kagome to freeze up,
" Umm. I gotta go Mom! Make sure Sota doesn't eat all that mochi!" She said, while she rushed up the stairs to change into her school uniform screaming,
'Baka! Baka! Baka!' to herself.
Back in feudal Japan, dawn had come and gone, and now the subtle pink that engulfed the limitless sky in the wee morning hours and converged with the bright sunlight to create the warm, and bright glow that was common for the ten o' clock hour. Sesshoumaru lay on the futon in a small hut; his eyes examined its simplicity with utter disdain at its lack of furnishings. Rin was also nowhere to be found, and Sesshoumaru noted this. He grew worried.
'Did she die at Kagura's hand? I fell unconscious before I could confirm if Inuyasha impaled her with his windscar.' He worried mind raced as he contemplated all the horrible things that could've happened to the young girl, but his fears were put to rest as Rin pushed aside the screen, that acted as a door, and walked into the hut carrying a tray of food and water that he presumed was for his own consumption. She ungracefully lay the food and water down, and as soon as the food was down she fell head first into Sesshoumaru's lap. A smile crept onto Sesshoumaru's lips as he lifted Rin up. He looked deep into her innocent brown eyes with his golden ones, and finally his resistance ended, and he tightly hugged the young girl, as if she was is own daughter. When he drew away, he looked to Rin's grinning face, and said kindly,
"Rin," Rin nodded and awaited Sesshoumaru's order,
" I want you to call me, father. Can you do that?" Rin glanced around the hut, as if thinking and said,
" Of course Sesshoumaru---- I mean daddy!" Then Rin giggled and ran out in search of more fun things to do.
" ' I want you to call me father' Feh, that's great Mr. Humans suck! You are a living embodiment of an oxymoron." Inuyasha said as he laughed at Sesshoumaru's expense. Sesshoumaru glared at his little brother and moaned saying,
" Are you the one who brought me in here?" Inuyasha's eyes lit up with pride as he remarked,
" And who else would've?" Sesshoumaru groaned at his brother's constant attitude and looked away, disinterested.
"Feh, admit Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha demanded with smirk upon his face. Sesshoumaru moaned, rolled his eyes, and inquired with disinterest,
"What is it I am supposed to admit to, little brother?" A grin appeared on Inuyasha's amused face as he explained,
" I saved both your life and that little girls life, and your asking me what your supposed to admit." Sesshoumaru painfully admitted,
" Thank you, little brother." Inuyasha's grin widened as he overenthusiastically exclaimed,
"Don't mention it!" Sesshoumaru grimaced.
"Miroku?" Sango asked as she nuzzled against Miroku's muscular chest, Miroku tenderly looked at Sango and lazily answered,
"Hmm?" Sango giggled as she asked,
"Do you suppose Shippo is still looking for our clothes?" Miroku shrugged his shoulders as he adjusted his position.
" You know Sango," Miroku said, kissing her tenderly on the lips, "if he is.let him. I am far too preoccupied to care." He added as he captured her soft and awaiting lips in another passionate kiss. Abruptly, Sango turned her head away, and tenderly stroked Miroku's cheek with her sweaty fingers. They slid gently across his check, and around the curve of his chin. Miroku was genuinely confused by Sango's current action. Slowly, and agonizingly she drew Miroku's face closer to hers, and this time she initiated the kiss, she was the first to let her tongue gently caress the inside of his mouth, and while this did not shock Miroku, he was confused, but all was made clear as Sango skillfully changed positions and was on top of Miroku. She beamed proudly at Miroku, who was in utter shock,
"Sango?" he asked, his eyes wide open, as her legs straddled his waist. She grinned evilly and said,
" I just wanted to be on top this time." Miroku grinned.
"If you want to play that way, I'm open." Miroku's grin grew even wider as he thought competitively,
'Let the games begin!'
Rin had left the room when Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, began to talk, she felt that she wasn't necessary and began to explore the quaint village. As she gaily skipped through the morning traffic she hummed an absent tune, which even she could not recall. The birds chirped cheerfully, aiding in her song, and she was content. For she finally had a family!
" Did Sessie-sama really mean I could call him daddy?" she asked, pausing in her unknown song,
" I hope he did," she continued, talking to her, and further ignoring her song, " because Sessie-sama has always taken care of me! He is my daddy!" she exclaimed, her childish voice riding above the clouds and hurry of the morning.
'Oh,' she commented as she saw a young fox demon lying on the ground below a tree, 'I should be quieter, he's sleeping.' Rin snuck behind the young fox demon, and concealed herself behind the tree,
' His tail is so fluffy!' Rin observed while she crept out of her hiding place behind the tree.
'It reminds me of Sessie-sama's-I mean daddy's (^_^) tail.' She thought as a toothless grin appeared on her face.
' I want to touch it." her thought egged, as her small hand curiously became drawn towards Shippo's fluffy tail. In a quick moment, her small hand gently clasped the fur of his tail and stroked it almost fairy like. Shippo intern twitched uneasily and was slowly drawn out of sleep, and looked curiously at the young girl who was transfixed by his tail. Shippo was about to say something, but Rin smiled shyly and ran away, embarrassed,
'Wonder who she was?' he asked himself.
All prospects of Kagome having a quiet, and late entrance to school were eradicated when she heard booming over the PA system,
" Mr. Kakeda, will you please admit Kagome Higurashi to class." His dull, but mildly amused voice, encouraged negative thoughts,
' I always new he hated me, but not that much! Now the whole school knows I'm late.' She agonizingly thought. Finally, she had made it to the door and dreaded the moment she would open it.
"As soon as I open this door the entire class will be looking at me, I should just leave!" she said above a whisper. With a long sigh she pushed open the door, and as she expected the entire class stared relentlessly at her, and as soon as Kagome thought nothing worse could happen, it did.
" Ahhh.Miss Higurashi! Glad you could join us!" the long, sarcastic and drawn out voice of her teacher mocked. Kagome grinned, and said, hoping to seem less stupid,
" Oh yeah, I was afraid I was going to miss it to." And as Kagome predicated her teachers grin turned into a recognizable scowl,
"Well if that's the case would you like to explain WHY you were late!" Mr. Kakeda interrogated to the less then amused Kagome.
" I over slept, that's all." Then she returned to her seat and suffered the rest of the period with twenty thousand notes from her four friends.
"Inuyasha, why did you save me?" a curious, and bored, Sesshoumaru asked. Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly
" You are my brother, well half-brother anyway, and dad did always want us to be friends. Or something dumb like that." Inuyasha noted with sarcasm, but also light affection. Sesshoumaru could feel the aura from his little brother grow somewhat kind again.
"Come again?" Sesshoumaru said, perplexed at his brothers befuddled honesty.
"Remember when I was just a little kid," Inuyasha began almost nostalgically, " and you first met me when dad took me to his palace in the Western Lands." Sesshoumaru nodded, comprehending Inuyasha's nearly unrelated logic.
'What is that brother of mine mumbling about?' Sesshoumaru criticized Inuyasha in his mind.
"And I thought you looked funny. You thought I was a twit."
--"You are a twit!" Sesshoumaru barked accusingly. Inuyasha growled and yelled,
" A way to kill a mood, idiot!"
" If you have nothing more important to say, I suggest you leave. I'm tired, little brother." Inuyasha said,
"Feh, whatever, you still look funny." And walked out of the hut.
Inuyasha ran his hands slowly through his silver hair, and felt a thoughtful sigh escape his lips,
"Why do I still sigh?" He asked himself aloud, as he walked under the sky so blue,
"It's true that Kagome and I are done for. I mean, she said it herself, not that I wanted to or anything." He bemoaned as his thoughts dwelled upon her, cruel and rushed good-bye.
" I shouldn't have tried to claim her as my own. She probably didn't like that. Modern girls are funny like that." He noted as he leapt up on a familiar tree branch and let the warm midday wind caress his face.
" I wonder if she misses me, or even thinks of me. I bet she is off with that Hojo creep-having a good time." Inuyasha noted thoughtfully, and almost sadly. He specifically remembered the way her flesh tasted when he sunk his fangs into it. How sweet it was.
"Why did she have to reject me!" He screamed, as he disrupted the environment.
'She rejected you cause she was in too much pain,' his conscience answered,
"Who the hell are you!" Inuyasha demanded as he panicked at the voice inside his head.
'I am your conscience.' The voice (aka: conscience) inside his head stated knowingly.
" Con-the words to big! You fiend get out of my head!" he exclaimed as he hit his head against the tree.
' I can't. What kind of idiot are you?' Inuyasha growled and yelled,
" I dare you to say that again!"
'You are an idiot. You're arguing with your own conscience!' Inuyasha again growled, but before he could insult his conscience again, he fell out of the tree and onto the hard earth below.
"OWWWWW! Fuck! That hurt! Damn you conscience!" The only sound that came from his conscience was a single laugh,
'TeeHee!' Inuyasha growled.
Kagome sighed as she heard the bell announce to the hungry students in her Biology class that it was time to eat, even if the food wasn't very good, hunger is the best spice. Her stomach grumbled discontentedly as she walked slowly, and the when the entire throng of students sprinted down the hallways for 'Turkey Manhattan' she groaned, 'Hmmm. I wonder if it tastes any good? I've never had it before. I guess that's what I get for skipping school so criminally.' "Kagome!" the voice of her ever anxious friend called out in unison. Kagome sulked as she mentally prepared her over-stuffed head for a million different questions from her easily excited and spastic friends. "Hi, guys." Kagome said unenthusiastically as they rushed to her side and one of them shrieked excitedly, "Omigod Kagome, I heard that you and Hojo went out!" Kagome's cheeks gained a light pink tone as she asked herself, "How is the whole school knows about this and I haven't told anyone?" However, Kagome had failed to realize she said this out loud and was taken aback when Yumi went into the explanation of how everyone knows, "Well, I heard it from Ayame, whose twin sister Suzame was out on a date with Makoto's best friend Houji, who is Hojo's cousin." Kagome attempted to make sense of this, but was lost and asked in confusion, "So Hojo told Houji, who told Suzame, who told Ayame?" This time Shinta enthusiastically answered, "No! See Hojo didn't tell anyone! Houji talked to Misao, who he broke up with last week, who heard it from.well, lets just say that Sota started it." Kagome fumed as she heard her brother's name being mentioned. "My brother told.. oh! It doesn't matter anymore!" Tsaebamae ridiculed, "Not your brother you ditz, Sota Sorata! That new guy from Hokkaido!" Kagome felt like fainting, and was pretty sure her brain went into overload that minute. " Who?" She asked as she began to walk away in an attempt to relive an oncoming headache. 'I should never have asked.' She bemoaned as she tuned out the chirping of her dearest friends.
Inuyasha strode proudly into the village, which resonated from midday activity of various sorts.
' There's so many smells in this village. Its funny how I've been hear since well forever, and I haven't memorized them all' he noted, and paused in front of his brother's hut and noticed Sesshoumaru resting peacefully with Rin cuddled at his side. After walking away he sniffed the air again and paused, as he smelled a very curious smell.
" That kind of smells like Miroku and Sango, or like someone who has been having sex for the past twenty four hours." He followed the smell to the source where it originated and pushed aside the screen, where he found Sango fighting to remain on top of Miroku, though it looked like he was beginning to gain the upper hand. Inuyasha stood transfixed, and finally when Miroku had forced Sango under him again, she yelled as she went down, "INUYASHA!" Miroku paused and glared funny-like at Sango, who sighed and breathlessly explained, "No Miroku! I don't mean that.I mean Inuyasha is standing there staring at us.well.." Then her face gained a strange coloring. Miroku sighed as he turned, gave Sango a blanket to cover up and looked at the nauseated demon that stood at the door.
"Inu-" he moaned above a whisper.
Shippo had been searching tirelessly throughout the night for Sango and Miroku's 'missing' clothes, and as dawn rose over the mountain crested panoramic landscape of feudal Japan, Shippo had collapsed in a deep and imperturbable sleep underneath the Goshikinbu tree. Any creature living or undead did not disturb him as he dreamt away.
