When the movie started Sesshoumaru almost jumped out of his skin at the new experience. Kira must have sensed it because she looked back at him and laughed but he just turned and looked away. He couldn't for long though for the movie captivated him. Never before had he seen any technology like this. How did they manage to get all those people moving around on that big screen? And how could it be so loud? When it had started he noticed Kira had clamped her hands over her overly sensitive ears but had gotten used to it shortly after. He had made no move to cover his so they were still stinging. He slowly forgot he was supposed to be watching his sister as he watched the giant screen in amazement. After the movie he waited for them in the hall, amused at how the people were giving him such a wide area as they kept away from him. It bothered him that they were still holding hands, but he enjoyed seeing his little sister so happy, much like any other protective older brother. "Did you like it Sesshoumaru?" Kira asked, coming up to him. "How was your first real look at our modern world?"
"What was that?" he asked, slightly embarrassed he didn't know.
"It was a movie." Seeing his confused face she explained further. "They record people with a video camera and insert sounds and music and then play it for people when they think it's good enough."
"Who are they?"
"They are the people that tell the other people what to do to make the movie good and realistic."
"Hmmm..." Sesshoumaru was still a little confused but he decided not to continue. The human was giving him superior looks.
"I'll bring a video camera to play with when I come with you alright?" Kira asked. Sesshoumaru, having no idea what a video camera was, just nodded his head.
"Well, it's time to go home..." Kyle said and they all started the long walk back. When they finally arrived at her house, Kira went inside and packed up her things into her backpack, emptying it of her schoolwork. She then filled it with clothes, a small video camera, and decided to pack her CD player and CDs with extra batteries just in case she got bored. Though, thinking about all that had happened in the short time she was there made her doubt she would need their use. Nevertheless, she left it in the bag and hurried back downstairs.
Kyle and Sesshoumaru were standing on the porch, glaring daggers at each other, while Kira's parents stood a good distance away. "You're going to kill each other with those looks!" Kira said, laughing as she walked up. She turned to her parents and embraced them one by one. "I'm going back now," she said, her eyes swirling the dark blue she was growing so used to. Tears formed in her mother's eyes and her father put an arm around her, holding back his own as Kira turned to Kyle. "Well, this was really fun-"she began but stopped in shock as Kyle pulled her into a hug and looked at her.
"Do you really have to go?" he asked.
"You know I do..." Kira said, staring at the ground and speaking softly. "I don't belong here anymore..."
"But everyone wanted to sit by you at the movie!"
"That's because they couldn't quite see me in the dark. If they had they would have been too freaked out..." she answered, still watching the ground.
She looked up in surprise as Kyle grabbed her arms. "You wouldn't have freaked them out. You would have made them love you more." With that he leaned in and stole his second kiss from her. This time Kira embraced him back and laid her head on his chest. She lightly rubbed his bandaged arm.
"I'm sorry... It's all my fault." She whispered.
"It's not." He replied and embraced slightly harder. She really was going to miss him, but it would only put him in danger to bring him along and she couldn't bare to do that again. Maybe she could risk a couple days but she would have to settle in with the others first and find a safe place for him to stay with her...
"Kira!" The sound of her name brought her back to reality as she felt a clawed hand wrap around her wrist, prying it off of Kyle. Sesshoumaru had grown impatient when seeing no end to them standing there holding each other. "Pathetic," he had muttered and then had reached to pull his sister away, "before the human could make her weaker."
As she was being dragged away Kira saw Kyle start to come after them but she motioned for him to stop.
No telling what Sesshoumaru would do if he started pulling back... she thought and then said aloud, "I'll be back soon to show you my new sword skills!" She laughed but then grew serious. "But you have to promise me you'll take care of yourself while I'm gone. Naraku might come back! Maybe when things calm down I can bring you with me for a while." She flinched as Sesshoumaru stopped to glare at her before continuing to the woods and grew silent.
"What was that?" he asked, slightly embarrassed he didn't know.
"It was a movie." Seeing his confused face she explained further. "They record people with a video camera and insert sounds and music and then play it for people when they think it's good enough."
