Intro of idiots:

Fire: Here you are everyone, the story that lacks any attempted proofreading. If its to hard for you, just telling me, and I'll send it to Raven. Of course even that would take a few....weeks....but its your choice, honestly, just more time off for me.

"Water bed??" Kagome punched the bed watching as the water juggled from side to side.
Sango nodded behind her. "It's a bed made of water, but a protective covering so it stays in there. Lady Rumiko thought that you would want a choice between this, and a-" Sango begun to get lost in her description, stopping abruptly once she noticed that Kagome stopped listening.

Her gaze was on a turned over picture frame, as she lifted her hand on it.
"What's in the picture??" Sango dropped the bed subject, and walked over to the silver frame, which stood out in the black room.
"N-nothing Sana or was it Sago."
"Sango." She corrected arching an eyebrow skeptical to what Kagome said.
"Whatever, anyway it's lovely for you to show me, but I'm tired, and would like to rest alone." Kagome made it up as she went along, and she left no room for a
reply.
She quickly trailed behind her shoving her out of the door without a second thought.

"B-bye, I guess." Sango had her eyes turned back on the girl.
She heard a small voice in her head, telling her she should be ashamed for helping Inu Yasha with his little plan.
"Move." A gruff voice swung from her left, and she jumped back to avoid being hit by Sesshoumaru's tall figure as he marched straight into his room.
She glared at him, but couldn't say anything. She worked at this house, and if she did, Sesshoumaru who probably go far out of his way to get her fired.
Sesshoumaru was cold to everyone, but maybe a few exceptional people in the past. She honestly had tried for him to treat her like a decent person, attempting to get on his good side. It was a futile mission, so she'd just avoid him like everyone else in the house.
She briefly thought she should tell him that the room next to his was now occupied, but deciding against it, she headed down the hall until she was out of side.
Sesshoumaru brushed past the silly women, and entered his dark room, with shades drawn over the windows, and lights off. He locked the door, proceeding to sit on
his bed in complete silence.

"Fuckin' piece of shit, what the hell do you have against me?! Fucked up little forsaken-" A numerous amount of curse words filled in a sentence in a half.
He raised his eyebrows, looking toward the door to his bathroom, where the sounds were coming from.

"CHIKUSO!" A sharp curse made him flinch, that was followed by a LOUD shatter.

It must have echoed through the floor, but lucky he was probably the only other one there.
Stepping up to the door, with a frown formed on his face he pounded the door closest to the sound.
"SHUT UP YOU WORTHLESS MAID!" He figured it must be a maid, he hadn't heard the voice before, and there was no one that should be in that room anyway.
There was a long moment of silence before he heard the slight shuffling of shifting glass, followed by footsteps on bathroom tile.
He glanced down aware that the door was locked, and then went back to listening.
"I dare you to repeat that." The voice was spoken in a challenging way, but didn't sound like it.
"I said SHUT UP! Do I need to spell it out for you?"
He challenged right back, examining the light blocked from under the small slit at the end of the door, between it, and the floor.
"That's what I thought." There was the sound of retreating footsteps, then shuffling again.
He waited a moment until the footsteps were out of the bathroom, and he returned to the bed.
Waiting silently the shower on filled his ears. He watched the door with a grim set expression. Finally he heard a few clanks of metal, and a knock on his door.
"What?" He opened the door, jumping back when a giant rush of water, well, rushed at him. The water soaked his leg, but he'd managed to get away otherwise.

It took a moment for Sesshoumaru to acknowledge what had just happened. He first looked down at the water tumbling all over his floor, reaching to the edges of his bed, and soaking in the carpet, and back up to the girl standing in the door way.

She was wearing pitch black, long pants, a long sleeve, turtle neck shirt. She had scars on her face, pictorially one running from her jaw line, and up the side of her face, leaving off on her forehead. He had to restrain himself from asking about their origin as he studied her. Long black hair, brown eyes, if he didn't know better, he'd accuse her of being his brother's fiancee. Yet she looked much different.

He didn't know what to make off her, as his brows furrowed. She didn't work here, didn't wear any formal guest robes, didn't seem to be one of Inu Yasha's friends, and he would not even question if his father, or that women he now was with invited her in.

The girl had much of the same thoughts, thinking his resemblance to both a man in her past, and the man named Inu Yasha she meet not long ago.

"You..." She couldn't help herself, being to comment on the one thing that caught her eye. "-dyed your hair sliver."

The man grumbled at her, as she was soon to notice the similar contrast between the black, and silver in his room.

"And yourself, don't tell me that foolish half brother of mine has invited you in as a hooker." He took great pride in the deep scowl that ripped across her face.

"I wouldn't sell my body even for the richest amount of money. In fact I rather die." She snarled after a moment of thought.

Sesshoumaru's eyes never left her face, as he smoothly took a few steps closer causing Kagome to stagger back, and flinch when he reached out to grab her arm.

"As I thought, all words, and nothing to back it up." He dragged her by the arm, and drew her slightly trembling form closer.

"Those scars." He ran his finger down the one on the side of her face, to her jaw line despite Kagome's futile attempts to lean away.

"Where did you get them?" He asked, not hint of compassion, or emotion in his voice.

"I don't know, got to many to count." She remarked slyly breaking her grasp.

"Then why are you here? To be Inu Yasha's new wench." He snarled back.

Kagome shifted her weight onto her other leg.

"No, in fact Inu Yasha tried to kill me. I have no idea why I am here, and don't plan to leave. It was all arranged by your mother."

"My mother's dead." She screamed shortly when his hand whipped out to pin her up against the wall forcefully.

"How- the hell- was I- suppose---" Long breath, followed by more struggling on her part. "--o know."

He lessen his force so it was no longer on the verge to crush her rips.

"You have no idea what it is to be shoved out of the way when your father gets remarried, and replaces you." He briefly wondered why exactly he was telling her this, but paid no heed to it.

"Hardly. I wasn't replaced, but I was beaten. Everything in the world revolved around my sister, but once she decided to do something stupid he decided to take his anger out on me. Never love anyone, they'll only hurt you."

She rested her two hands on his, until he gave up the push, and released her. She quickly fled back to her room locking the door.

"Never love anyone....hmm... girl you took the words right out of my mouth."

Leaning against the wall Kagome puffed out a deep breath she didn't even know she was holding.

A small breeze blew in the window catching Kagome's attention.

"W-When did I leave the window open?" She asked herself, no one but herself answered.

'Might be a maid.'

"I guess." She said aloud, then stood up.

"You guess what?" A snaky voice caught her attention. She looked around the room to find no one, being until she looked down.

"Wha- are you a toad???"

"No, I am NOT a toad you stupid female. I'm Jaken, and have been asked by the gracious lord

Sesshoumaru to tell you that dinner is being served."

"See-ss-h-o-uie-mar-u???"

"Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru that is to you!"

Kagome blinked rapid times, as if this Jaken didn't have an accent already, he pressed his words together so it sounded like a muffled screeching.

"Uh-uh-uhh.....yes...I'll be down soon...." She hoped he'd said something about dinner, but waved her hands signaling for him to exit.

He glared at her, before measly exiting muttering something under his breath.

She hadn't recalled that she would have to go to family dinners. She could just see it now, walking downstairs, getting strange looks for everyone, then asked to explain about herself. That would not score best with her.

She slipped downstairs, unnoticed, and avoiding all eye contact as she blindly stumped into one of the rooms.

Rumiko looked up from her conversation with Tai to lay eyes on the girl.

"Good evening Kagome, you can take a seat next to whoever you chose."

Kagome scanned the table making notes in her mind. 'There is Ses-a- whatever....I don't think he'd be at best odds with me....there is the father guy next to him....Rumiko next to him.....that strange guy that looks like Naraku....hey why is he giving me the evil eye? I guess I'm forced to sit next to Sess-a-whatever. CHIKUSO!'

She avoided all eye contact taking the seat next to him. She didn't have to look up, she could feel eyes boring into her head. One was glaring daggers, the other peering out of the side of his eye calmly.

'How do I get myself into these things?' She asked herself, shaking her head.

"Ah Kagome, I don't believe you've -uh- been properly introduced to your new two brothers. This is Inu Yasha," she signaled to the boy who promptly gave her a glare when she even started to look up "and Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru remained silent, but didn't glare. 'I swear he looks like he's plotting against me or something.' She noted.

Inu Yasha made sure he glared at her every time she even thought about looking in his directions. Once he satisfied his mother with a half-hearted conversation, he went back into his plans.

Oh yes, if he had anything to do with it, Kagome who hate her stay here. And it would all begin tonight.
