The sun peaked through the curtains and landed on Sesshoumaru's face. Had he been sleeping, the intrusion would have bothered him, as it was he simply took note of the last fading star and went to find an appropriate outfit.
He chose a dark gray, velvet suit, which provided a lovely contrast to his hair. Arching an eyebrow he decided that it was time to wake up his darling younger sibling.
Too late. The puppy had already wakened and Sesshoumaru was not amused to find that the hanyou had already helped himself to the fruit loops.
"I didn't think you ate human food." Inu Yasha mumbled. Sesshoumaru found himself resisting the urge to kill once again.
"You're cleaning that up." He meant the mess of fruit loops and milk spilled over the floor. Inu Yasha never had been the best at keeping clean.
Said Hanyou snorted. "Yeah, I'll clean it up." Sesshoumaru's face remained passive as he went to see if any cereal remained. "So, what are you doing today?"
The elder brother paused. What he had planned for the day was not something he wanted the hanyou involved in.
"Hunting." That was a lie but Sesshoumaru didn't owe anybody the truth. Hunting was an activity his brother would not wish to take part in, and thus, the older demon would have the day to himself, to do what he really wanted.
He wanted to find Rin. More accurately, he wanted to find the girl who looked like Rin. The one Inu Yasha called 'Kagome'. Finding the girl would be difficult enough as it was, and while his brother might prove helpful in that area, he did not require the company.
"I trust you will be gone after today?"
Inu Yasha swallowed. "Well, if you don't mind...I thought I might stick around for a while. I, uh, have business in the city."
It was a lie. Both knew it was a lie.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. "Very well. I'm going out." Without further explanation he grabbed his coat and walked out of the apartment.
Inu Yasha arched an eyebrow as the door slammed. He didn't think Sesshoumaru was crazy enough to go on another hunting spree when his latest killings were still hot news items. Gulping down his fruit loops he wiped his mouth on his sleeve, grabbed his own coat, and headed out the door.
The problem of not knowing who the girl was, or where she lived was an annoying problem, one Sesshoumaru was compared to combat. He dimly recalled the girl wearing a short, green, school girl uniform of a local middle school. When he had first glimpsed her pulling Tetsusaiga out of it's barrier, he had thought it odd, now he realized it as standard wear for a normal student.
It didn't take long for him to spy another girl wearing a uniform similar to the one in his memory. Blending in with the crowd, he followed her on a train and to her school.
Sometime along the way, he realized just how much he hated human females. The annoyingly high pitched giggling and the way they were constantly staring at his rear were quite irritating.
He felt that special homicidal feeling coming on and made a note to target a school girl on his next hunt. Really, he didn't remember Rin being this annoying as a teenager. Of course, she hadn't been able to enjoy being a teenager for long but....
Sesshoumaru shook that thought from his head. He never allowed himself the comfort of emotions; in his mind, they equaled weakness.
He immediately forgot all of this when he saw Rin again. Or, more exactly, what must have been her reincarnation.
"Kagome-chan! Wait up!"
Kagome. That fit in with his memory. Inu Yasha screaming out her name. Crying over her body. She looked younger now, she wouldn't pass through the well for another few years, but all the same. She was still Kagome.
"I'm surprised. One girl, whose name you barely heard a few times, in the whole city, and you found her."
Sesshoumaru didn't move, but he mentally cursed himself for not sensing Inu Yasha's approach. "You were searching for the girl?"
"Yes." They were both silent for a moment before Inu Yasha spoke. "She's just begun her first year of middle school. I won't see her for another few years."
"Hn."
"I never really noticed it, I was always wrapped up in how she looked like Kikyo, but she also looks like...." Sesshoumaru started walking. "Rin. She looks like Rin."
Sesshoumaru said nothing. He gave a sideways glance at the girl, then headed towards the park.
