A/n: Ho boy! I'm back! ^_^ Miss me? I'm sure you didn't. First, I'm going to apologize. I'm getting so lazy. *sigh* Before, I was writing this fan fiction during class, thus I could get it typed up earlier, to where there was at least two Ch. a week, but sadly...*sigh* my other Fic is taking my time in school, plus I'm loosing my muse on this one. Anyone have any comforting words, or maybe help in where to bring my Fic next? (After this Ch., of course.) But anyway, I once again, must thank my good reviewers who give me nice comments and read faithfully. ^_~ I love you all! *sigh* I'm going to get on with my Chapter...
InuYasha: Thank Kami-sama; I thought you were going to have a pity party forever here...
**VaSr: *vein throbs* Excuse me?
InuYasha: KAGOME!
Kagome: *rolls eyes* I'm not saving you this time.
InuYasha: But...but...You always do!
**VaSr: *cackles evilly* Now I'll truly beat you up!
Sesshoumaru: Must I help him?
Naomi: Nope!
Sesshoumaru: *grins, and picks up Naomi, and they thus begin making out...*
Everyone: *sweat drops...*
(^_^): Carrying Onwards...
Ch. 9: Hojou's Gone mad...and Pizza?
By: DumbAssPunk
Naomi frowned, trotting over to get a better view. To all appearances, Hobo was angry. She cursed down at him inwardly, and struggled with herself as to whether or not to go down there. She smelled Sesshoumaru's scent coming closer, coming to a stop next to her at the top of the hill. She felt him sniff her hair lightly.
"What's going on, Little Girl?"
She rolled her eyes, not letting them leave the other two of her attention though. "From what I've seen/heard, this idiot's been pursuing my sister for quite a while. He can't take a hint and get lost. Stupid Hobo."
His brow rose. "Hobo?"
She shrugged. "It's a play with words, his name is Hojou. Hobo is a degrading name here." She glanced over to see him nod slightly in acceptance. "If I have to stay one more minute watching them instead of doing something, I'm going to spaz out."
He decided not to ask about that phrase, he could tell with the trusty old context clues. Suddenly, he was pulled from his random thoughts as he felt her aura flare in anger, and her scent become sparked with it. He looked over at her, a question in the eyes. Her eyes didn't move from the two, and an audible growl could be heard. He glanced over, and began to growl as well. Hojou slapped her. Hard. As he began to pull a protesting and crying Kagome, Naomi was gone.
--------------Kag. POV---------------
*What is he doing?* Tears streamed down her face as he forcefully dragged her. *What happened to the sweet, clueless boy who'd pursued me?* Her face stung where he'd slapped her, and she felt a bruise forming where his hand was gripping her arm painfully. She was about to call for InuYasha, no matter what the consequences, when a blur rushed in front of her. She didn't see anything, all she saw was at first, Hojou standing, dragging her, the next he was a crumpled, slightly bloody heap on the ground. She glanced over to see Naomi above him, her eyes bleeding red. Naomi picked him up, and tossed him out on the street, before turning to her. Kagome hugged her, and Naomi slowly calmed down, her growl calming to a comforting purr as Kagome sobbed into her shirt. Naomi glanced about, then jumped straight in the air, landing gracefully back up the hill. She led her sister in the house, anger still flowing from her, though suppressed for Kagome's sake. Sesshoumaru wisely stayed his distance away, keeping the idiot monk away, who'd unfortunately awoken. When his lecherous look didn't leave while looking at Sango, he promptly met his good friend Floor and Darkness. InuYasha was fretting, taking Kagome from Naomi's arms once they were in the house. Picking his girlfriend up in his arms, he bound up the stairs, carrying her into her room, closing the door.
-------------Naomi POV----------------
She shook herself once, and scowled out the window, where you could see Hojou yelling, and running home. *He's not through with his annoyance yet.* She shook her head, turning to her other companions; they seemed to be in a state of shock, but for Sesshoumaru. His normal emotionless mask was on, but his eyes were darkened with worry. She smiled softly, reassuring them, before trotting into the kitchen, motioning for them to wait a moment.
"Auntie!!!" She pounced on her unsuspecting foster mother, hugging her fiercely. "Missed you!!!"
Siona laughed, putting down the spatula to give Naomi a hug in return. "How's my strange little girl been?! How was the Feudal Era?"
"Well...we brought some stuff home..."
"Oh?"
"And...People..."
Siona frowned. "What do you mean?"
-------------Normal POV---------------
An older woman came out of the kitchen, followed by a blinking Naomi. She stopped in front of the others, looking over the others. "Where is Kagome, and I assume, InuYasha?"
"Uhm...He brought her up to her room, because she was a bit tired. I suppose he'll probably hang out there for a while." Siona only nodded, accepting this. "Ok! Uhm...I think you probably know who everyone is, just haven't met them, par se...So...the one with the large boomerang is Sango, the little girl next to her on the sugar high is Rin. Shippou is that strange child sitting in front of the TV...Miroku is the unconscious one..."
"Oh! What happened?!"
Naomi blinked, while she heard Sesshoumaru chuckling over their mind link. She glared at him. "Before the well, there were...complications, in which he got knocked out..."
"Alright, and the last is?"
"This is Sesshoumaru, Taiyoukai of the Western Lands."
Siona blinked at the formal title, and bowed slightly. "A pleasure, I'm sure." She turned away, back to her daughter, not even waiting for a response. "Dear, I and Grandpa are going-"
"NAOMI! Stay back, I'll protect you! Back you evil demons!!" Grandpa entered the room, ofudas flying. Her eyes widened, and she was soon with her mother, dragging her Grandfather out of the room. "Stop it, Grandpa! Not all youkai are bad, look at InuYasha!"
"He tried to kill her at first!"
She glared at him. "Grandpa..."
-Gulp- "Yes dear?"
"You wouldn't happen to be going somewhere right about now...like your room?" She glared at him, and she saw that Siona was doing the same. He threw his hands up, running out of the room, muttering about 'stupid, unloving women'.
Siona sighed. "As I was saying, we will be going to Paris for the next two weeks. I think we'll bring Souta as well, so that it's just you and your friends in the house. We'll be leaving later on, but before you do, would you like me to help you get settled in?"
She smiled. "Sure, Auntie."
------------Later On...-------------
Naomi was leaning against the wall, Miroku's protests ringing in her ears. "But my dearest lady, there is no way I can sleep with InuYasha in that room! He's too...too..."
"Annoying?" Naomi said, dryly.
"Exactly!" Miroku frowned.
Siona only shook her head. "You won't have to worry about it; he usually sleeps on Kagome's window sill or in the tree anyway. You're in Souta's room, and that's final. Sango, you may have my room...do you mind sharing with Rin?"
"Not at all. I'm sure we'll get along fine, right Rin?"
"Hai." The little girl had finally waned off the sugar high she'd been on, and was back to her normal, cheery self. She and Sango went in, getting used to their new living quarters.
"Now I think I've gotten everyone...Hm...Oh, Souta's home." Sure enough, Siona was right. Souta was soon dashing up the hall, stopping at the top of the stairs to see a few more people than he'd left home this morning, sticking their heads out curiously from random doors. He blinked. Then his eyes fell on Naomi, and he audibly gulped.
"Oh baby brother...." Her voice was sing song, and had an annoyed edge to it, much like when Sesshoumaru had talked with his brother before.
"...Hai?"
"Care to explain?"
Sesshoumaru was now looking over curiously at Naomi. *Explain what?*
The boy obviously was thinking on the same lines...though it may not have been as truthful..."Explain what, Naomi-neechan?"
She stood from her resting position against the wall. She took his arm, pulling him up to a door that no one's been in so far, or mentioned. Sesshoumaru's curiosity was peeked, as was a few others who were watching from a safe distance. She pushed the door lightly, and it gave view to a total mess. Objects were thrown everywhere, clothes were scattered everywhere...it looked like a tornado had struck, leaving this destruction in its path. Her little brother was shifting from foot to foot, looking for an escape. "Uhm..."
"That's what I thought." She glared at him. "This is my room, and only mine, meaning that you have to have permission to touch anything in my room, when I am around. Got it?!"
He shrugged his shoulders. His confession came out all in one breath. "ButIwassoboredandIcouldn'tgetintoKagome'sroom'causesheputawardarounditkeepingmeoutsoIwentinyoursIdidn'tmeantomessupyourstuffitjusthappenedforgiveme?!"
She sighed, and walked to where Miroku was standing, going past him, into the room. She looked straight at him, and frowned. "Learn your lesson." She gestured to his belongings, and soon they were on the floor, drawers opening and emptying out as they watched. She nodded her head as it got as messy as hers, and then turned back to Souta. "Now, to reinforce this, you have to have this all cleaned up before you and Auntie leave, so that Miroku doesn't have to clean for you- which he won't. This is your fault, thus you have to clean it. Got it?"
"Hai." He sounded miserable. She rolled her eyes, ruffling up his hair. "Now I have to get a ward for you. Thanks a lot, buddy. Making me work to keep you out."
He groaned, and slammed the door, sulking as he cleaned up. *Stupid Paris.*
------------To the others...----------------
Sesshoumaru was inwardly laughing as she punished Souta as most youkai families would, and as she had fun doing it. /You're one strange creature, Naomi. /
/ARIGATO! / She screamed it in her mind, chuckling as he felt him wince, as well as saw it. She snickered, reentering her room. She merely waved her hand, shoving everything to the walls. *I'll fix that later...* She threw her bag next to her dresser. Plopping down her bed, she jumped back up, and looked down. There was water and food spilled all over it. She growled, pulling off her comforter and sheets with a flourish.
Siona walked up. "Honey, Gomen. I didn't know he'd done this, and I'd help you fix this all up, but we're leaving now, the plane's waiting." Naomi only nodded, and waved. Siona smiled, giving her girl a kiss on the cheek before dragging Grandpa and Souta behind her, their bags all in Grandpa's hands. Naomi shook her head, and dumped all her bed supplies into the hamper, pulling clean sheets and such out of the chest. She grinned as noticed they were the same as the others, and gently smoothed them out as she put them on the bed. Once done, she started in on the mess, listening to what the others were doing. Sure enough, there was a ~_BAM_~, followed by a ~_THUNK_~ in which, we could only assume was Miroku. She rolled her eyes, giving the finishing touches on everything. Walking into her bathroom, she growled at what she saw. IT WAS FLOODED!!! *Ugh! That little terd! I'm going to kill him!!*
Sesshoumaru heard her growling from inside her room. Curious, he stopped at her doorframe. /What's wrong? / He blinked as images came through his mind. There was some sort of tub-thing that was over flowing with water, as was the object that she'd explained earlier to be a sink. Water was everywhere, and there was a little...yellow duck (?) floating around in the room. /Your brother? /
/OHHH! I'm going to kill him!!!!!!!! . Gr. It's a good thing that the room floor is set higher, or else my carpet would be soaking wet! /
Sesshoumaru grinned. /You don't like water too much, do you? /
He could feel her glare. /I like hot springs, showers, and the like. This is not cool though. / He could feel her shiver slightly.
/Here, I'll help you, Little Girl. / He walked in, and turned a few knobs, turning the water successfully off. He then pulled the rags stopping up the drains out, watching the water level slowly go down. He smiled softly over at the uncomfortable neko. /It's not the end of the world. /
/Humph. /
/What? No Thank you? / He smirked down at her.
She jumped forwards, taking him by surprise to where he fell on the still inch high water on the floor; herself on top of him. She chuckled as his hair swirled about in the water, and as she kept herself out of the horrid water herself. He growled at her, glaring. She smirked as he sulked. She quickly kissed the frown away, running her fingers lightly over his arms. /Aw, you're so cute when you pout! /
/*glare* I do not pout! /
/Yea huh. / She nipped his ear lightly, causing him to shiver. She nuzzled his neck before jumping up, winking at him.
He chuckled, standing as well. /Feisty Little Girl. /
/Hai, well at least I'm not a soaking wet Old Man. / she stuck her tongue out at him playfully. She blinked as he reached out and snatched it, flicking her nose once before letting go. She glared. /Oh no, you did not just punish me. /
He smirked.
With a glare, she turned with a 'HMPH', and trotted back to her room, sitting down at her desk. He sat on the floor next to her, shaking himself much like a dog would. Her shriek caused everyone to rush in to see what was wrong.
"Nani?" They all yelled at once. A large sweat drop formed as they saw her soaking wet, as was Sesshoumaru, and they were obviously fighting. She whacked him across the back of the head, ad the others gasped. *What is he going to do to her for doing that?!*
He laughed. Yes, you heard me right...he laughed. Kagome's jaw dropped; Miroku fainted; Shippou wondered where his brain went; Rin giggled; and Sango decided to go else where...away from these crazy people...Sesshoumaru looked over at the others, and pulled his annoyed neko closer. "Do you enjoy the show? Because the party's over." He slammed the door in their face.
-----------Others-----------
"WHAT THE HELL?!" InuYasha was pissed, glaring at the door. Kagome only shook her head, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
"I think they're just having a..."
"Lover's quarrel, Kagome-sama?" Miroku was wondering what all was going on with Sesshoumaru lately, seeing as he was always sticking around Naomi.
"Hai..."
"NANI?!!!!!!!!"
"Inu-chan. don't be so surprised, I mean...he's been with her the whole time!" Kagome frowned at him lightly, and he just nodded in acceptance.
"This is weird though, Kags. I mean...half brother...with...your sister...ish my sister..." Kagome smiled up at him. He blushed slightly, playing with her hair idly.
"Hai, but that's alright. Come on, I'm going to make something for supper. What do you guys want?"
"RAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He grinned at her, as she covered her ears slightly. He pulled her down the stairs, straight towards the kitchen.
--------Back in the Room-----------
/Sesshou....what are you doing? / She had a brow raised as he slammed the door. She was still in his embrace, back pressed against his chest. She wiggled slightly as he nuzzled her neck.
/I just got rid of the crowds, Little Girl. / He licked her neck softly, enjoying her scent. *Hm...Autumn winds and curiosity.* He smirked at this. The stood there for a while, just drinking in the moment. This peaceful moment was doomed to be cut short, for a loud,
"RAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Literally shook the house as someone ran down the steps, towards the kitchen. Naomi rolled her eyes, and pulled away. She took Sesshoumaru's hand, and pulled him out the door. /Come on, we don't want to suffer through Ramen again, do we? /
He shuddered. He had to admit, the stuff was good...but they ate it for breakfast, dinner, and supper. ((Gomen, in my household, we call lunch dinner, dinner supper...yes, thought I'd clarify there.)) He walked with her, trotting down to the kitchen, where Kagome was cooking up...ramen.
"Kags? Mind if I cook t'day?"
"Hm? Oh, sure. I was just going to make some ramen, but you're welcome to cook."
"GREAT! Now, everyone OUT. Hai, everyone. I don't want any of you taking up my precious working space." She winked at them, and then shoved everyone out, including Sesshoumaru. Grinning wickedly, she dumped the ramen into a container, placed it in the fridge, and then grabbed the phone. She put a ward around the room so that no one could hear her. "Hello? Papa Johns? Oh I'm fine thank you. I'd like to order two large pizzas...Hai...Uhm...one just cheese, the other Spinach Alfredo...I'd like a Pepsi and a Dr.Pepper with that...ok...I'll have it for you when you get here...twenty minutes? Alright, 743 Sunshine Shrine, on Take a Dream Street... Ok...Uhm...one favor? Have the delivery boy come in the back door, next to the kitchen...ok, ARIGATO!" She grinned as she hung up the phone. She did a little touch down dance, and then growled as she saw she was still wet. Summoning a wisp of Air, she dried her clothes, and sniffed about. *Appetizers...* She grabbed some mushrooms and some vegetables, and a lot of cheese...
---------10 minutes later...-----------
The door opened, and Naomi came out, a tray in hand. They all gasped as they looked up from the TV, to see the delicacy she'd made. Stuffed mushrooms drizzled with a light sauce in a poetic design were on a crystal tray. She set it down on the table, setting some napkins and such next to them, with smaller plates at the side. She grinned. "Come on, I decided since the food's cooking still, to let yal have some appetizers. Enjoy!" She winked, and then grabbed one for herself before the others came rushing up, grabbing some for themselves. She chuckled as Sesshoumaru sniffed his before scarfing it down, and picking up another one.
/Find something funny? /
/YEP! You! / She smiled, and then turned, walking back into the kitchen. She heard his growl. /It's not fair. I can't smell you in there. /
/AWWWW. Poor baby. / She winked at him. /But dearest, didn't you notice we still have a mind link? /
He blinked...and she rolled her eyes at him, closing the door once more.
---------Skipping Onwards...-------------
"YAY!" Naomi rushed to the door as the delivery boy was about to knock on the door. She swung it open, and smiled. "Arigato! I'm so glad you made it, I was afraid I was going to have to cook!" He blushed, not used to hot, ecstatic girls thanking him for bringing their pizza...
"Not a problem. Now..."
"Here's the money, and a good ole tip for you, because you're just the greatest! Now...I've got to go now! Ja ne!!" She smiled at his red face, and closed the door, listening to him leave. She took the pizzas out of the boxes, and placed them on pizza trays ((Ever seen them? If not~ they're round, size of a large pizza, and have holes in the bottom. ^_~)) and swung the door open. Kagome's eyes widened.
"You didn't."
"Yep!"
"You're so evil! I love you!!!!" Kagome jumped up from InuYasha's lap, hugging her sister, who was trying to hold onto the food. Kagome picked up one of the pizzas, and put it on the table, Naomi setting the other on the side. "I can't believe you did that!!!"
Miroku spoke up for all the confused Feudal patriots. "She did what, Kagome-sama?"
Kagome laughed. "She ordered pizza from the store that cooks them and brings them to you. She just pretended to cook so that we wouldn't know what she was doing! Genius!" Naomi rolled her eyes, bringing the drinks and a bag of ice to the table, along with some cups.
"Come on, yal. Time to eat."
Sesshoumaru sat down next to Naomi. He looked at her, the pizza, and then repeated the procedure. Finally, he spoke. "What is this?"
"PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She giggled as he winced.
"Must you yell?"
"YEP! It's delish!" She grinned, and hugged his arm before getting herself something to drink. The others repeated what she did, a bit awkwardly but for Kagome, who was happily drinking some Pepsi. Rin jumped up in Naomi's lap.
"What's this stuff?" She took a sip of some Dr.Pepper. "It's good!"
"Well, Rin. It's called soda, and that particular type is called Dr. Pepper. Now, don't drink it all at once, you have to eat before you get any more. I have seen what you're like with sugar in you system, and believe me~ you're not getting a lot of sugar at one time anymore." She cut Rin a slice of cheese, getting herself some Spinach Alfredo. Everyone did likewise, and they were soon all having a good time, laughing and eating together. *Like a family...*
