An: Alright, I'm finally back, and have probably lost every one of my readers due to my laziness and almost total loss of muse. Ah well. This chapter is TOTALLY DEDICATED TO MY SISTER: Heather: Who just happens to have just had a birthday, turning 19!! YAY! That old fogie! Haha...*backs slowly away* DON'T THROW THAT KNIFE AT ME HEATHER!!! Ahem...anyway, I don't have a whole lot else to say...big surprise?
InuYasha: No.
**VaSr: Did I ask you?
InuYasha: *thinks*
**VaSr: NO! WAIT! STOP! Don't think!!! *tackles him*
InuYasha: Owww...@_@
**VaSr: *wipes brow* Phew! Now the world won't come to an end...
Naomi: *snickers*
Jessi: Yo...why am I here, anyway?

Shippou: Ok....I think it's time to wrap this up...
Disclaimer: Let's put it this way~ I'll own InuYasha when pigs can fly. *A large, green, three eyed flies by in a jet pack* ...Ok...Let me rephrase that...
((Also, I don't own NickelBack's song Fly from their CD Curb. Duh. Come on people, if it's their CD, it's their song...))
WARNING: FLUFF ALERT!!!!!!!!!
Ch.10: Wanna Kiss?
"Hm..." Kagome snuggled closer to InuYasha as everyone sprawled companionably about the living room, the radio on low. InuYasha and Kagome took up the leather loveseat, him length wise along it with her half way on top of him, joking on 'what a good life sized pillow he made...' He merely draped his arms about her waist in a lazily protective embrace, not easily forgetting the earlier happenings. Nuzzling her neck gently, he aloud his mind to wander as the other talked amongst themselves.
Naomi was lying on her stomach on the floor next to the wall sized entertainment center, occasionally singing along to the lyrics, or switching through the stations. She was back in her youkai form, explaining that it was more comfortable when the others had asked. Her tail pooled about her in a shimmering silky mass, the tip twitching slightly to the beat of the song.
Rin and Shippou had long sense been sent to bed, their little eyes no longer able to stay open, though they denied it while yawning. They'd both also put up quite a fight until Shippou'd been allowed to stay with Rin, and so they were both currently snuggled under the covers of Sango's bed, with Rin hugging Shippou to herself like a teddy bear.
Miroku was sitting crossed legged on the floor in front of Sango's seat on the large couch. He was leaning against the furniture with his head resting on her knee in a nonperverted fashion. His eyes were half closed in contentment as Sango pulled her fingers through his now unbound hair, massaging the scalp lightly. Naomi commented on how 'Sango not only has him wrapped around her finger, but also knew how to keep him tame', to which he merely smiled and replied,
"Damn Straight!" which caused them all to laugh.
Sesshoumaru was draped elegantly in the recliner, calmly watching with amusement as Naomi flipped through random stations, cursing the incessantly chattering DJs and annoying Commercials, until finally settling for WILD 95.5 as NickelBack: Fly came over the speakers. He smirked as she sang along.
"Father, tell me somethin'
Where do bad men go when they die?
And mother says you'll go there but
Wings for her and I and I don't mind
Cause I have always wanted to learn to...
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly...
Brother, tell me somethin'
If I take this, am I going to die?
And he says no, so then I figure what the hell
I'll try 'cause it's my life
So light the match and you and I will...
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God, as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
And father tell your son,
It's not your gun and bloody hands
Don't hide behind locked doors
In dresser drawers those bullets wait to fly...
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees
I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you,
God, as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and,
let justice know, it's just that easy
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar..."
She smiled up at him, causing his heart to flutter for some unknown reason. He felt it speed up and could only wonder at these strange emotions she evoked in him. Shrugging it off, he leaned back as his tail slithered down the chair and across the floor from his shoulder, silently stalking its way to her. It snaked around her inconspicuously. He merely stared hack with a small smirk upon his lips as she blinked up at him, her eyes flickering from his and her tail to him before she tightened her tail around his slightly. The others just watched with a bit of shock and much amusement through out it all, as the two Taiyoukai's fur was now a mix of silky azure and silver together. They both just shrugged, and let their minds drift, their tails unintentionally and subconsciously wrapping further together. Miroku and Sango both shared a knowing smile before carrying on to other subjects. Letting her mind float hazily to another random song on the radio, Naomi was suddenly brought crashing back down to Earth by a sharp tug on her tail. She blinked, and then frowned at the culprit. This said silver accompaniment wrapped innocently back with hers. She glanced up at Sesshoumaru, her face a mix of affrontment and confusion. Suddenly she grinned wickedly, relocating her tail upon her person as she stood, stalking over to him. He gazed at her warily as the others watched from the sidelines in hilarity. She sat down lightly, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck.
"Hey Sesshou..." She nuzzled his hair and whispered huskily in his ear, "Would you happen to like a kiss, by any chance?"
He growled lightly in her ear as a response, his eyes molten in color.
She leaned towards him, her fingers tilting his face upwards as she brought her face towards his, grinning as his mouth parted slightly. She was so close to him, her scent enveloping him and sending him into near bliss. The others saw the extremely powerful emotions flowing back and forth between the two youkai, and were about to give them some privacy, or in InuYasha's opinion tell them to get a room, when Naomi's hand, lightning quick, stuffed a Hershey kiss in Sesshoumaru's mouth. She automatically jumped up.
Kagome was full out laughing into InuYasha's chest as he himself chuckled at Sesshoumaru's shocked and slightly confused face. In a blur of white Naomi was pressed to the floor, Sesshoumaru across her full length as his lips crushed hers. She gasped in shock, and he took that to his full advantage and ran his tongue inside, quickly backing out, fighting instincts that screamed for him not to. He swallowed before slowly standing, and returning to his seat, as calm as ever in outward appearance. Naomi licked her brown stained lips and swallowed as well, staring up at him.
Sesshoumaru's voice was slightly husky as he answered her unvoiced question. "I was taught to share."
Naomi grinned. "It's not bad the second time chewed."
Sesshoumaru had a slight blush on his face as he looked away, a smile on his face.
Everyone but Naomi, Sesshoumaru, and Kagome were slack jawed in shock. Kagome was burying her face into InuYasha's chest, trying to muffle her laughter, for she knew what all had happened. Still chuckling she said, "If I'd known you liked A.B.C. food Naomi, I'd give you some Gerber's Peas."
Naomi's face paled dramatically, and her head whipped around to see her sister full on, whose face had the automatic 'you-love-me-to-much-to-hit-me' façade. Naomi's eyes narrowed, and that was all the warning that Kagome needed as she was gone in a mere blur in seconds. Naomi growled, and was off as well. "Kagome Michelle Higurashi!!!! How dare you!!! I am not some friggen two year old!!!!!"
The rest of the group left in the living room shook their heads, the hanyou chuckling, the two humans laughing, and the youkai smirking with laughing eyes. As one they all stood, and raced after the two sisters.
The scene they came to was, at the least, surprising. Naomi was on top of the well house, with Kagome at the bottom, and Naomi was hissing down at her. Kagome was yelling up at her.
"You know it's not my fault! You're the one who followed me, not the other way around. It's only my fault for accidentally taking the ladder..."
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get me down from here at once!"
InuYasha scratched his head as he wrapped his arms around Kagome. "Eh...Kagome, what's up?"
"Eh..heh...heh...Uhm...see, I was hiding from her up on the well house...but she followed...so I ran down the ladder and took it...I was going to put it back, but it's kind of old...so it broke...and now....she's sort of...up there..."
-.-; "Kagome-sama. May I ask why you had resorted to going up there in the first place?"
"Uhm...it seemed like a good idea at the time?" Kagome hid in InuYasha's haori, trying to keep away from her sister's glares that were burning holes in her head.
"Uhm...ok..." Miroku tightened his grip on his staff. "This is quite a sticky situation...We need to rescue Naomi-sama."
InuYasha rolled his eyes. "Feh. Why doesn't she just jump down? It's not like she won't fall on her feet~ all Neko youkai do."
Naomi's eyes were slightly unfocused as she glared at him, not saying anything, for she was too caught up in an old memory.
~*~Flash Back~*~
A small little girl, only about twelve in human standards, was hiding in the attic from her foster parents, trying with all her might to just disappear from their thoughts. A roar of anger had shown her failure, and soon a flash of light illuminated the large garret.
"You bitch! Get the hell down here before I make you!!!" The man frowned up at her, his greasy black hair covering his rage driven eyes from view.
Naomi shuffled backwards, hitting the windowpane. Frightened violet eyes watched as he climbed the rest of the way in, and staked towards her angrily. "I thought I said come here, dammit! I guess your just going to continually be a pain in my ass aren't you?! Now I'm just going to beat that disobedience out of you!" He smacked the thin girl across the face, and a bruise automatically formed on her withdrawn face. She was suffering from food deprivation, and her eyes pleaded for him to stop.
*What did I do wrong?* She cried out as he punched her in the stomach. *Why can't they just love me?*
He had had enough of her quiet whimpering. "Goddammit, I'll give you something to cry about, you little whore!" He kicked her in the side, sending her flying onto the glass. He'd underestimated his strength though, and she went plummeting through the now shattered glass, straight towards the ground. Her inner instincts kicked in, flipping her to her feet. When she came in contact with the hard ground, her body was too fragile from weeks of table scraps, and her legs caved in, the bones suffering with multiple shattering. She whimpered again, forcing her horrid screams inside herself.
The man came to a stand in front of her, his polished shoes in front of her face. "Hn. Why do I waste my time on you?" He waited expectantly.
Eyelids fluttering from exhaustion and extreme pain, she pulled her upper body forwards, kissing the ground before his shoes. She could smell his approval as he walked away from her. Thanking the gods for that, she didn't even sense his approach until a kick in the back resounded through her frame. A loud scream ripped through the air, pain lacing through it all.
"Hn. That's better, bitch."
~*~End Flashback~*~
After that, she'd been terrified of heights, which was no true wonder. Naomi shuddered down at the ground.
Sesshoumaru's eyes were wide. Most likely by accident her memory had seeped into their mind link and he'd seen everything, felt every emotion and heard every thought as well. He jumped up to Naomi, wrapping his arms around her waist reassuringly and pulling her to his chest as his ki cloud formed about them. She buried her face in his chest so as not to see the ground as he held her shuddering frame to his. He brought them slowly to the ground, with the others. He whispered ever so quietly in her ear, "Hey, it's all right, Naomi. We're on the ground. Come, let's go inside."
And so, everyone took their lead as Sesshoumaru guided her into the house, though they were a bit confused at what all was happening. They knew better than to ask, so instead they all went to their rooms.
Sesshoumaru brought Naomi to her room, saying good night. She smiled, and was about to go in when she felt his aura behind him. She turned around, her head cocked to the side as she looked at him. "Did you need anything Sesshoumaru?"
He let a small smile grace his features. "I was not given a room to sleep in. Would it be alright if I stayed with you?"
Naomi looked up at him, thought a moment, and then nodded, opening the door and gesturing for him to follow her. He blinked as he saw that it was now clean. Seeing his baffled look, she shrugged. "I put a small spell in here when we went down for dinner so that I wouldn't have to clean later." She smiled as he nodded, then disappeared in her bathroom with a set of clothes for bed.
Sesshoumaru looked about her room, liking the style of her room, if it was a bit modern. He didn't really know what everything in the room did, but the color schemes of the room were to his taste as he looked in a full length mirror. He shrugged, pulling his armor and swords gently off, and placed them with his shirt to the side, sitting on the edge of her bed. The bathroom door opened, and Naomi stepped out, taking the breath from her Inu-youkai peer. She wore shorts with the words 'Flirt' across the back in a light purple and a matching white tank top with the same lilac lining. Her hair was brought back in a high horsetail, and her tail was wrapped around his waist as usual. She smiled over at Sesshoumaru, and lay down, motioning for him to do the same. He did, pulling the covers over them both before spooning up behind Naomi, placing his arm possessively around her waist, his tail wrapping around her legs.
Naomi smiled slightly, her fingers entwining with his. "G'night, Sesshoumaru."
His nose was buried in her neck. He whispered slightly to her, "G'night, koiishi."
And so, the Taiyoukai couple slept peacefully together.
