Reunion
~~CHAPTER ONE~~ Gentle butterfly, You know no pain, But you can sooth with just one touch, You're as pure as rain, Happy butterfly, You've flown away, Yet you taunt me when you flit close by, Maybe we'll come together some day, Social butterfly, You're the one to blame, My eyes are only for you, At times it's a shame, Because beautiful butterfly, You've stolen my heart, You'll never realize it, We're two worlds apart.
Naraku sighed as he closed his treasured black notebook. Noticing lunch would start soon; he shoved his other stuff into his bag and stood up as the other students around him began to chatter loudly. "Scribbling away in your notebook again I see. What exactly do you write in there?" "It's none of your business Kagura." "Come on oniisan." "No, little sister. It doesn't concern you." Kagura huffed as she walked away to join a cackling group of females dressed much like her. It's bad enough we go to the same school, but it's worse when she's ahead of her class that she's in mine. I should have left when it was offered to me. But then again. I wouldn't see HER again for years
The sound of the bell broke him out of his reverie. He strolled at his own pace as numerous underclassmen rushed by. Even with his black jag and the large amount of cash he always carries, he never found interest in going out to eat like most upperclassmen. Even Kagura went out to eat with all her older friends at lunch. Sitting in the shade of the oak trees with his friends was sufficient. Upon reaching his locker, he heard a familiar voice rise over the crowd as the person passed by. From the corner of his eye he watched her as he rummaged through his bag to change his load and grab his lunch. There she went passed him for a millionth time without even a glance. He sighed and slammed his locker shut.
As soon as he walked out of the main doors he turned his head to the left and found his usual group of friends sitting under the trees. They nodded their heads or glanced at him in acknowledging he had arrived, but didn't bother to start a conversation yet. He wasn't surprised to see his other younger sibling, Kanna; sitting close to his usual spot, but what surprised him was another girl and boy with her. It was a surprise because Kanna usually sat alone or with Naraku. He glanced at the other girl who seemed to never stop smiling or chattering and the boy who seemed very nervous to even be there. Kanna's face was expressionless except her eyes which seem to glitter when she sees her big brother and when she stood up to hug him quickly.
"This is Rin and Shippou big brother. You know, the friends I was talking about yesterday. I invited them to eat lunch with us. I hope you don't mind." Kanna sat back down when she let go of him as he settled against his favorite tree. "It doesn't bother me if you're happy with it." Naraku slightly smiled at his younger sister. Kanna's eyes seemed to sparkle brighter from the sound of his voice, but she turned her attention back to her friends who seemed to be holding their breath during the introduction. They continued their little conversation as Naraku sat down.
Half way through lunch, he picked up something the girl, otherwise known as Rin, had said. "Your brother reminds me of my oniisan. His name is Sesshomaru." She gave a little giggle and then Shippou had added, "You two are lucky. I don't have any brothers or sisters." Then the conversation began in a little debate whether having siblings was good or not. It was then that Naraku tuned them out. I didn't know Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had a little sister. At the end of the school day, Naraku was once again surprised to see Kanna talking with Rin and Shippou at his car. Apparently, lunch wasn't going to be the only time he saw them. Kanna immediately latched onto Naraku and in a little girl voice begged him to give her new friend's a ride. He chuckled slightly and glanced at her new friends. Rin immediately spoke up. "We'd ask Inuyasha, my other brother, but he probably wouldn't even if Kagome was with him." "Plus, Inuyasha isn't very fond of me either." Shippou added. "We tried asking him to give us a ride the other day, but we ended up riding the bus." Naraku smiled slightly and said, "It's fine with me. I don't mind doing things for my favorite imoutosan." Kanna beamed at this comment. They all piled into the car, but the younger teenagers ended up coaxing Naraku into taking them to the mall, since it was a Friday.
"All right, you guys go do whatever you want and meet me at the food court in a couple hours. If you need me you know my cell number." Naraku said as they all got out the car. As soon as they entered the mall, the younger teenagers raced off for the arcade while Naraku strolled along to one of the many bookstores. The things I do for my baby sister. It's not surprising that she's "following my footsteps" as father has put it. Things would have never changed between Kagura and me if mother had not left father. It isn't Kanna's fault she was born. I'm again not surprised that Kagura doesn't like Kanna at all. Especially since Kanna has "stolen" Kagura's spotlight as the baby in the family. It makes me wonder who really is the baby in the family.
Naraku found himself in his favorite store within the next hour and was looking around at the clothing. He absolutely loved this store. He was so absorbed at reading the shirts that he didn't notice a young lady standing in the same aisle until he almost knocked her over in his process in reading. Before she fell completely over, he snatched her shoulders and corrected her balance before taking a closer look at what she looked like. For a split second he thought he was looking at Kagome, but then realized it wasn't. Before he could say anything or walk away, the girl slightly blushed and then said, "Arigatou, my name is Kikyou." "Gomen, my name is Naraku." She smiled as he pulled his hands back to himself. He smiled back. For a moment they just stared at each other until someone rudely interrupted them.
"Oi, Kikyou, come on let's go!" Naraku turned his head and was surprised to see none other than Inuyasha. He was really out of place in the store they were currently standing in. Naraku raised an eyebrow at Kikyou as if asking her a question, but she hurriedly turned around to Inuyasha. "Come on Inuyasha, I'm done here. We can go to American Eagle if you want." They both left the store and when they thought no one was watching, they linked hands in a more than friendly way. Of course Naraku did see it, but decided not to do anything about it at the time. He was suddenly too interested in the new dark purple silk shirt that the store had just begun to display. After making a few purchases there and at another book store, he decided he'd better make it back to the food court and feed the younger people.
As soon as he got to the food court Rin, Shippou, and Kanna were having a battle over going to get pizza, burgers, or Chinese. Naraku chuckled. "Why don't you kids just go get what you want? My treat." They all bounced up and down and after Naraku gave them each some money, ran off to get their food. Naraku was also having a debate with himself on what to get and settled on just getting a coffee. He decided to eat when he'd get home. It didn't take an enormous amount of time for all of them to settle down at a table and start eating. Even Naraku was sucked into a few of the conversation topics. Shippou was first to finish and it didn't take him long to come back after throwing away his trash. Kanna finished next, but waited for Rin to finish and then they both got up together to throw their trash away, but they came running back after a while. Rin's eyes had seemed to pop out of her head at the moment.
"Is there something wrong?" Naraku asked as the girls both sat down silently, which was unusual. "Kanna and I just saw Inuyasha. kissing. someone. who isn't Kagome." Rin slowly said. "I don't think they saw us, but I'm sure everyone saw them start making out." Kanna added a bit disgusted at their public affection. Naraku slightly frowned. "Ok, I think we had enough adventure at the mall today. We should get going before any parents start to worry." Naraku said as he stood up. They picked up their shopping bags and headed out to the parking lot.
"Sesshomaru! Sakira-oneesan!" Rin burst out happily as she saw a familiar tall pair climbing out of a silver mustang in the parking lot. She dropped her bags as soon as she reached them and glomped onto them both. The pair just smiled and hugged the girl clinging to them back. Eventually Rin let go and then she started to babble on about what happened during the day. Sesshomaru scratched his head while Sakira actually listened to her and said things here and there. Sesshomaru turned to Naraku and nodded his head as Naraku did the same thing back. Sesshomaru had some how escaped Rin's attention and made his way over to Naraku.
"I see our younger siblings have become friends following in our footsteps. You in particular picking up my role." Sesshomaru said with a knowing smirk. Naraku just replied, "It looks like it now doesn't it." They both chuckled. All of a sudden, Rin burst out even louder than before, "We saw Inuyasha kissing some girl who isn't his girlfriend in the mall!" This caught everyone's attention. Kanna added, "They have no shame." "If I had seen it I probably would have been sick." Shippou emphasized this by clutching his stomach. Sesshomaru only turned to Naraku and raised an eyebrow much like Naraku had earlier. Naraku only nodded his head. "I saw him with her in a store before that. Her name is Kikyou. A canny resemblance to Kagome I might add. But if you look closely, they look very different." Sesshomaru shook his head. "Our brother is an idiot." Sakira finally said voicing everyone's opinion.
