Well now, how are we today? ^__^ Good…whatever your answer is, goooood……
I don't know whether everyone who read the last chapter read it or not, but I had mentioned some very important information in the bottom authors notes in the last chapter. They mentioned a website – where MY art illustrations with Shio and such are stored. Now if you had taken the time to read my authors notes, you would have gotten to go to the website and view those beautiful pics. If you didn't read my authors notes, then I'm hurt and disappointed like no other.
I don't own Inu Yasha, but I do own a spot on deviantart.com.
Chapter 21: Big Brother is Watching You
Sashimi and Yukidaruma sat on the steps of the shrine that were sheltered by the extended roof. The sky was wet washed in shades of gray; mostly dark gray as it was pouring rain. Yukidaruma sat staring into the horizon with a vague look of a deep thinker. The light was harder to get to then their teacher had first let on; though Sashimi seemed to take to the light summons like a fish to water. But then again, nothing was ever as easy as it looked.
Sashimi sat with one leg crossed over the other and her shoulders back as she rested her hands on the concrete behind her. She smiled up at the clouds as if they were blue skies and softly hummed a tune that Yukidaruma was unfamiliar with.
The screen door entrance of the shrine slid open causing Yukidaruma and Sashimi to glance over at the person exiting. Shin'yo walked out dressed in travelers clothes rather then her usual aristocratic robes. She tied a cloth bundle of supplies around her waist in the same fashion as an obi. She tilted the wide Naru-gasa hat above her eyebrows and smiled pleasantly at the two of them.
Yukidaruma and Sashimi jumped up and ran to her. "Where are you going, Shin'yo-sama?" Sashimi asked.
Shin'yo fluffed their hair and replied, "I am heading out into the country my dears. And I shall not come back until the end of the month."
Yukidaruma looked at her shocked. "But what about our classes??"
"Just keep practicing, dear." Shin'yo nodded to him. "By the time I've come back, you will have at least learned how to summon your light I'm sure. And if you're not – well, that's okay. You'll just keep practicing till you get it and in the meantime, Sashimi-chan will help you – right Sashimi?"
"Mmmhmm!" ^__^ Sashimi saluted her.
"Good. While I'm gone, Sashimasu will be here training Sashimi. If you want to, Yukidaruma, you may train with her and learn a bit of self defense." She waved to them as she walked down the stone steps of the shrine. The rainwater slid off of her Naru-gasa hat in little waterfalls. "Don't cause any trouble now! Behave yourselves!" and she disappeared into the forest.
(end of flashback)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~$$^*
Matatabi led Shio through the forest and into a mile wide field landlocked by trees. There were tons of wild flowsers and demon morphana: the demon wild flowers that have a bloom as big as the mouth of a tuba. The demon morphana were a rainbow of beautiful colors and tantalizing scents. A beautiful yet carnivorous flower. There were birds and rabbits and a colony of fairies humming music like honeybees.
"Wow!" Shio said in awe, he and Matatabi exchanged excited grins, then she started unwrapping her kimono.
Shio was even more amazed, "What are you doing there?"
It wasn't a moment before the air touched her bare skin when she began to transform. A thin layer of cat fur covered her body. It was cool white with soft patches of black. She hadn't fully transformed before she turned to him and asked, "Well, what are you waiting for? Come on!" she jumped out abouve the flowers and transformed completely into her full demon cat form.
Shio watched her glide over the carnivorous demon flowers just like Kirara, then she dove down and bounced off of the side just before it closed trying to catch her.
"Cool!" Shio began to remove his jacket/shirt as a layer of thick silverish-white fur spread up his back.

"Ah-TIEU!"
BLING!
Happy place, happy place, Sumiko was in her happy place! ^___^
She had finally figured out where her vitolitto was! ^__^
All she had to do was collect the necessary ingredients for boiling inscents, get older, have a séance, be possessed become endowed with the compass of life, find a doorway between life and death and pull it out! ^___^ SIMPLE!!!
She had collected the ingredients for inscents which she carried in her sash. As she walked back into the village, she saw Shippou spread out in the grass looking slightly ill. Though he wasn't as ill as when Miroku left him.
She came over and asked, "Is Shippou-chan okay?"
He groaned and glanced at her through half lidded eyes.
"Yeah, I'm fine considering I just had a near death experience with a piece of bread."
"Ooooooo!" Sumiko said interestedly. She tossed the sash of ingredients aside and kneeled beside him. "Do tell, baby fox!"
He sat up giving her the puppy dog eyes as he used hand gestures to explain. "I saw a white lifht at the end of a long tunnel! I saw my Pa! He was glorious! My life flashed before my eyes! … It was a lot like a commercial for mentos actually…"
Suddenly Sumiko sat up straight and alert. The sensor on her Sin-o-meter was ticking. She jumped back up grabbed her bag of ingredients and dashed into the village.
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooohhh…."
"Uuuuggghhhhhhhh…."
Inu Yasha gripped Kagome's wrists and held them tight against the floor. Her hands contracted like claws gropingly.
He nuzzed through her hair till he found the hot skin of the back of her neck which he licked and nibbled to get a few satisfying moans out of her. He made a snake like motion with his tongue and she moaned louder arching her backside up and into him. Yes, Inu Yasha was beginning to love his fatherhood more and more with the moment. If he wasn't already busy, he would be wondering why he didn't accept it sooner. Steam and little heart floated out from under the bottom crack of the door. Sumiko ran into the hut so fast that the straw door covering ripped clean off of where it hung and rested over her head.
Inu Yasha and Kagome separated in a millisecond.
Sumiko yanked the straw covering off of her head and made a quick scan of the room. Kagome was on one side of the room laughing nervously and fluffing her hair and adjusting her skirt. Inu Yasha was still a bit shaken from Sumiko's abrupt entrance and was wiping the sweat from his face trying to look natural.
"Oh my goodness." Sumiko said in a state of disbelief.
"Sumiko!" Kagome jumped up and ran over to give her a nice little hug which didn't sway Sumiko at all.
"Hi!" Kagome chimed happily with a large smile plastered on her face. "How are you?! Are you well?! We didn't do anything – how's Shippou-chan?"
Sumiko looked down at Inu Yasha then back up at her.
"Oh – my – goodness!" she went past Kagome and picked up Inu Onna who looked soared and confused. Sumiko glared at them. "What kind of horrible parents are you?! Did you forget that your daughter was in the samw room as you?! Or did you not think this would scar her for life?! How would you like one of her first memories to be of her parents getting intimate while she was trying to take a nap?! I can't believe you people!!"
Sumiko tossed Inu Yasha out the front door then she tossed Kagome out on top of him. Then she stood in the doorway and waved her fist at them. "Go rut in the forest like the animals that you are!"
She would've slammed the door on them, but there was no door to slam.
Kagome climbed off of Inu Yasha and the two of them sat there staring at Kaede's hut where Sumiko rocked their baby and tried to save what innocence she had left.
"You know what?" Inu Yasha suddenly stated. "In our own attempt to screw each other, all we accomplished was screwing the mind of our offspring."
Kagome nodded in agreement before asking, "Wanna try again?"
"Lets." They jumped each other with passionate kisses. Inu Yasha once again seized dominance. It wasn't until half a minute later when a small voice in the back of Inu's head reminded him that they were out in the open in the middle of the dirt. "Mmm – hold on, hold on," he said between kisses. "We need – to find – a hut."

The samuri leaned against the wall and pulled out the wanted poster of Shio. The samurai stared at the bishi's picture for a few moments in deep thought before sighing and tracing the outline of Shio's face in the picture.
Suddenly there came a loud thud as if something landed on top of the roof. Then the thing landed on the gravel outside then stomed over to appear at the door.
Inu Yasha stooped forward gripping the doorframe with both hands. Kagome clung to his back, hugging him, moaning and planting kisses all over his neck like she couldn't wait anymore.
The samuri looked up at them bewildered.
Inu Yasha looked intensly up at the samurai, "We need this hut!"
Without another word, the samuri was pushed out the door and that was that. The samuri stood out there, still bewildered and confused as heck.
Steam and little hearts floated out from under the door.
The samuri glared at the hut then stomped away muttering something about "damn bitches".

Meanwhile, Shio was actually having fun on his date. Matatabi flew high into the air till she almost touched the clouds then dive bombed toward the largest demon morphana in the field. She hit the rim with her forepaws and sprang back into a flip. The demon flower snapped shut. It reopened in annoyance when it realized it only grabbed a mouthful of air. Matatabi laughed then looked up as a shadow passed over her. A great white dog demon slightly bigger then Kirara flew up into the air even high then Matatabi flew. It was like a bright white, thick furred golden retriever with nine glorious tails. Then it dropped down like a shot and bounced off the rim of the flower. Then he did a spin twist in the air, caught the cat demoness in his arms and they twirled laughing histerically as they fell into a pile of leaves. Shio lay on top of her and she hugged him from her bottom position, the two of them half transformed. Shio pushed some of the hair out of face and they looked into each other's eyes. He began to go in for a kiss when his ears twitched to the sound of an approaching person.
He looked up to see a cat demon man. A very tall, muscular half transformed yet clothed cat demon man standing over the two of them with his arms crossed. Shio squinted.
"Oh hi, Jitsuta!" Matatabi said. She got out from under Shio and the two of them stood up. She smiled at the intruder then at Shio, "Shio this is my big brother Jitsuta! Jitsuta this is that really hot guy I told you I was going out with!"
Shio looked up at Jitsuta. The guy towered over him by at least two feet. His head blocked the sun.
Matatabi crossed her arms. "Why don't I go get our clothes, Shio and we'll go listen to that mariatchi band back in that one restaurant near my hotel, you'll love em!" she skipped off leaving Shio with Jitsuta.
Shio looked up at him and Jitsuta looked down at him with cold eyes. Shio shivered and rubbed his arms feeling like the air just dropped a few degrees. "Hey, sup' Jitsuta!" he held out his hand. "Hey!"
Jitsuta looked down at him not accepting the handshake. "Who are you fooling?" he asked.
Shio blinked not knowing what he was talking about. "What?"
Jitsuta reached out and plapped a large meaty hand on Shio's shoulder. Shio's eyes widened feeling like his shoulder was gonna pop out of joint. "Listen buddy boy," Jitsuta started, "I know what your after."
Shio was confused, "You do? I-"
"And let me tell you something-" Jitsuta grabbed a handful of loose skin and white fur located on the back of Shio's neck and lifted him off of the grass. Since Shio was half transformed he had that loose skin, otherwise that would have hurt. Though Jitsuta was showing a lot of tension in the grip of the skin. Shio made a sound through his teeth of the pinching pain and he looked at Jitsuta confused. The scary big brother continued, "If you try anything funny with my sister, I will make you into the tightest pretzel that was ever twisted, Kapeesh?"
Shio nodded quickly, not wanting to be a pretzel or any other form of grain source.
The Jitsuta dropped him on the ground and walked off.
Shio sat on the ground like a good boy and gave a heavy sigh.
