Hello! Sorry, I wasn't about to update in a while because I was grounded, but now I'm back so without any adue, chapter 5!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Ranma, Trigun, or any other copywrited stuff in this chapter.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After Inuyasha finished his ramen(and Sesshomaru insisted that he was no longer hungry), the two of them decided to go back upstairs. After about 10 minutes of walking through the mansion, then realized they didn't know where upstairs was. They found their way to the pool, which was already occupied by Shampoo and Kagura. Shampoo was holding a mop as though it were a staff, and Kagura had a white fan spread out in front of her face. The boys were in between the two, and had just arrived when they were attacking each other.

Shampoo charged at Kagura with her mop, and a strong gust of wind emerged from Kagura's fan as she swept it across the air. The wind pushed back all three of them, and caused Sesshomaru to crash into Shampoo making both of them fall to the ground. Sesshomaru immediately got up. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" He asked, extending a hand to help her up. ~Nice one, Sesshomaru. Within three hours of your arrival, you injure a beautiful young woman. Smooth.~ He scolded himself.

At first Shampoo did nothing, but then she raised her head and shook it back and forth as though it would shake off a headache. She looked up at Sesshomaru, blinked, and used his extended hand to get to her feet. She leaned towards Sesshomaru, and kissed him. "You I love!" She announced, with a smile. The other three of them were all confused, and became even more confused when Akane and Ranma entered the pool area.

Akane turned red with anger, and Ranma sighed. "Oh boy.." he murmured, just before Akane began to shout. "Shampoo! What are you doing with the man I love?!" Shampoo eyed Akane with great distaste. "She kiss him?" Ranma asked Inuyasha, and he nodded. Ranma laughed, "Looks like you have another admirer, Sesshomaru! At least that one's cute." He added, aiming to insult Akane. It worked, for Akane pushed him, and sure enough he slipped on the wet floor and fell in the pool with a splash. "What did you do that for?!" Asked the red haired female who rose from under the water.

"Who are you?" Inuyasha asked, with a blink. "It's Ranma." She murmured. Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Kagura gave her bewildered stares. "Long story." Ranma said, as she pulled herself out of the pool. "No way, Shampoo! He's mine, I saw him first!" Akane yelled, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards her. "No, Shampoo did!" Shampoo said, grabbing his other arm and pulled him back towards herself(A/N: Yes, other arm. He's got two arms in this fic). The two girls continued to tug and pull Sesshomaru back and forth, as though he were a toy two children were fighting over. "Hey, cut it out!" Kagura yelled, and used her wind to push the two girls away from Sesshomaru. Seeing the opportunity, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kagura quickly fled out the nearest door.

Sesshomaru sighed in relief. "Do you know where the stairs are?" Inuyasha asked her, and she nodded. "Just through this door is the hallway, and the stairs." The three of them made their way to the second floor. "See you later, Sesshomaru.." Inuyasha murmured, and went to his room. Sesshomaru turned to Kagura, and smiled. "Thank you for helping me out back there." He said, and Kagura shrugged. "It was nothing, really... I just couldn't stand to see someone being treated like that."

"Why were you and Shampoo fighting, anyway?" He asked, curiously. Kagura scowled. "Because of that bitchy attitude of hers." She murmured. There was an uncomfortable moment of silence between them. Sesshomaru broke it. "Well, I'd like to thank you again. Is there anything I could do to repay you, Miss...?" "Kagura." She finished. "It was nothing. You don't need to repay me in any way. Really." Kagura said, plainly. Sesshomaru grinned. "I'll find a way."

Kagura's cheeks began to turn light red, but before Sesshomaru noticed this, Kagome emerged from her room followed by Kikyou. "Sesshomaru!" Kagome exclaimed, "Want to join us downstairs for a snack? We ordered pizza, but it hasn't come yet..." Sesshomaru shook his head, "No thanks. I already ate." The thought of Kagome meeting Akane wasn't very pleasant. Not to mention Akane's terrible food. Kagome's eyes grew wide and watery. "But... but... but..." Sesshomaru hesitated. He knew it wasn't a good idea, but he gave in. "Fine." Kagome's pouty expression immediately disappeared. "Really? Thanks! C'mon, let's go!"

Kagura watched as Sesshomaru waved goodbye, and walked out to the deck. It was dark outside, save the half moon that shone brightly in the night sky. She sat down on a bench, and sighed. She was beginning to dislike Kagome. Her attitude was annoying, and she was wandering around with her best friend, Kikyou. "You shouldn't judge people unfairly." She heard, and looked for the source of the voice.

A chibi version of Kagura with a harp, a halo, and angel wings was on her right shoulder looking up at her. "Why don't you try to be her friend?" Good Kagura asked, and Kagura sighed. "It's because she's a stupid bitch, that's why!" Another voice said, and sure enough appearing on her left shoulder was another chibi Kagura, but this one had a red trident, horns, and a pointed tail. Good Kagura humped. "You stay out of this, Evil Kagura!" She shouted across to her.

(A/N: Just picture this happening in your mind... XD)

"I'll do whatever I want, bitch!" Evil Kagura yelled. "Why you--!" Good Kagura started, but was cut off by Kagura. "Guys!" She shouted, and they both shut up and looked at her. "I don't care about Kagome, alright?" She stated, firmly. "Of course you don't, 'cause you hate her!" Evil Kagura said. "How can you hate someone who you barely even know?" quoted good Kagura. "It's 'cause you're jealous!" spoke Evil Kagura. "I am NOT jealous." Kagura told them.

Meanwhile, Vash blinked looking up at the deck. "I wonder how long she's going to stare down at the floor like that.." He asked himself.

All three of them knew that she was, though. Evil Kagura smiled slyly. "She's taking away your best friend, and you appeared to be upset when she tore Sesshomaru away from your conversation..." "What are you suggesting?" Kagura asked. "That you're jealous of Kagome with Sesshomaru." Good Kagura replied for Evil Kagura, with a nod. "Whose side are you on?!" Kagura asked, and Good Kagura blinked. "Well it's the truth!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"No it's not!"
"Just admit it!"
"NO!"
"Stop lying to yourself!"
"I'm not lying to myself!"
"Oh yes you are!"
"Will you two just shut up?!" Evil Kagura yelled, angrily. They shut up.

Kohaku and Kanna spotted Vash, then looked up at Kagura sitting on a bench in the deck. "What's she doing?" Kohaku asked, and Kanna blinked. "I'm not very sure..." Vash said.

Evil Kagura looked up at Kagura. "We all know you're jealous, so there's no use denying it." Kagura sighed. "I'm not--" "OH YES YOU ARE!" Good and Evil Kagura shouted, in unison. "Fine, I am. but it's because she and Kikyou have been hanging out a lot... Sesshomaru has nothing to do with it. I basically just met him! Besides, I despise every star that isn't up in the sky." She assured them. "Of course you do!" Good Kagura said. "We know that!"

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Kouga asked. "We're waiting until Kagura stops staring at the ground." Kohaku said. "Really? How long so far?" He asked. "6 minutes and counting." Vash responded.

Kagura blinked. "You know that? Then why did you say I was jealous over Sesshomaru?" She asked, and Evil Kagura chuckled. "Cause it was fun." She said, and Kagura glared at her. "You hate celebs because of Naraku." Good Kagura said. "Yeah..." Kagura murmured. "He used to be pretty nice... Until he fell in love with some teenager after he and Mother divorced. She was even my age at the time!" Kagura said. "And then, when he purposed, she broke his heart." Good Kagura continued. "And he acted like an ass towards you and Kanna because of it. That's why you ran away." finished Evil Kagura.

Sango blinked, and looked out of the window of the conservatory. "What are they all staring at?" She asked herself.

Kagura scowled. "To make matters worse, he abandoned his special duty as a parent and dumped that little brat Kanna on me, making me a parent AND an older sister." She sighed. "Can you guys go now? I don't want to talk about this anymore..." She said, but after looking from shoulder to shoulder realized that they were already gone. She looked down from the deck and saw Vash, Kanna, Kohaku, Kouga, and Sango all staring at her. Vash smiled. "9 minutes and 54 seconds!" He yelled, and all of them cheered.

Kagura blinked, and hurried back into the mansion. "Okay, that was really weird..." She said to herself. Then, she heard the voices of two angry girls yelling at each other. They were so loud that anyone within the boundaries of the estate could hear it, and Kagura figured that Kagome had met Akane. "He was meant to be with me, not you!" "How would you make a good wife? Unlike you, I can cook!" "You're cooking is terrible!" "It is not! Sesshomaru enjoys my cooking! Why else would he eat it all?!" "Because you made him, you freak!"

Then, Kagura heard that Shampoo had found them. "My love!" "He isn't your love!" "Yeah, he's mine!" "Is not!" "Sesshomaru is Shampoo's groom!" "WHAT?!" Kagura chose to stop listening after she heard Kagome, Akane, and Sesshomaru loudly questioned Shampoo's statement of Sesshomaru being her groom. ~Poor guy... I feel sorry for him.~ She thought.

Later on that night

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were playing a game of chess in the library. Sesshomaru moved his queen one space foreword. "I'm not going to stay here. Tomorrow, I'm going to take my share of the fortune and leave." Inuyasha looked a bit surprised. "Why?" He asked, moving foreword a pon.

Sesshomaru moved his squire. "I have my own fortune and estate. I was interested in the shikon jewel, but to me it's not worth it to put up with three girls who adore me and terrible cooking." He told him. Inuyasha moved his knight. "It can't be that bad. Please won't you stay? I almost have forgotten about what it's like having a brother." He said, trying to be pitied. Sesshomaru took out Inuyasha's knight with his queen. "No."

The hanyou sighed as he pushed another pon foreword. "Sesshomaru, I'm not going to let you run out on me again." He told him. "There is nothing you can do to make me stay." Sesshomaru said, sternly. "Oh, but there is." Inuyasha said and smirked while holding up a video tape. The label on it read 'Sesshomaru.' "Remember this, dear brother? Wouldn't want this shown to the public, now would you?" He asked, and Sesshomaru's eyes widened. Inuyasha smiled. "I normally wouldn't blackmail my own brother, but we need some time to get re-acquainted with each other. Don't worry, it'll be fun! If you stay, I'll give you the tape and you can do with it what you please." Inuyasha moved his queen diagonal three spaces.

"Checkmate."

The next day, all twelve of them turned in their chips. They were all staying.

Oh, and the pizza Kagome and Kikyou ordered never arrived.
