AN: Hello! I'm back and hope that you all will like this chapter as well! Thanks for the positive feedback; I was quite pleasantly surprised, for I wasn't quite sure how my writing would be if potato-less. Anyways, as I said previously, this is a more serious story. Also a tribute to MoonliteCrescndo, who I admire very much, whose beautiful style of writing inspired me to pattern the realist mood of this story with more substance. I highly recommend her works; they are meaningful and deeply moving.
And I'd love to answer each and every review individually, but I fear that it would distract the meaning of some stuff in the story insert sob. Instead, I hope that you will all accept a general reply. I'm happy that the "flying into tomorrow" part was well received, and how everyone took Kikyou's favorable position in the story without slights or bashing. I'm really pleased. Also with the acceptance of the new spelling and lack of Kagome so far; it's so nice to know you guys are open-minded! Thank you! Oh yes, one thing I forgot; for the purposes of this story, both Kikyou's and Kagome's eyes will be blue. I prefer the natural Japanese brown however, but blue is a bit of a theme here, if you cared to notice the title of this chapter. To some questions on Gackt: No, I don't know or listen to him. I only found out about the contest through a browsing of the idol/geinou news, and that contest is long over. The article is at w w w . j p o p . c o m / w e e k l y 2 5 0 9 2 0 0 3 . p h p (remove the spaces) and under the heading 'November 3rd' It'll take a while to find it, but it's an interesting background info to this story, for those who want to check it out.

Chapter Two
Shades of Sky and Sea
---------------------------------------------------
The velvety darkness was suspended in mid-action as the helicopter speeded along the surface of the earth. The phenonemonal effects of time took it's toll, and the day was progressing in slow-mo for the people who dared go against nature. The helicopter followed the sun as they circled the earth together, as if searching in vain for a lost destination in a neverending cycle. The satelliting moon soon joined in this strange theater of the heavens, radiating all the more brighter with the additional light energy reflected by its sun brother.
Inuyasya had long since returned to the piloting seat, though Kiki chose to remain by his brother, and the copter picked up speed and began to keep up with the tireless sun. Time seemed to backtrack a little, as what appeared to be afternoon for the airborne party quickly shifted to a semblance of noon. It was like one extremely long day, one that would never see the sun set. For, of course, if they flew along the solar wind for eternity, one would never see the other retreat into the horizon. The light would shine forever, until they reached Japan, (Nihon: Origin of the Sun,) where the rest of today would finally go along normally to the jet-lagged flyers, like an extremely long day that had stretched into the next without night, but for those who had spent the peaceful darkness there would experience a new, another tomorrow.
The occupants of the lipstick-red copter continued hurtling through the sky, finally nearing the floating blue-green archipelago, as a certain travel-weary passenger allowed his tired eyes to drift shut and his figure to slump back gracefully, grumbling incoherently. Sessyoumaru had reason to complain again, now that they were leaving the comforts of the pacifying ocean and setting foot on dry land soon. Something like that always had to happen, to rouse his irritated and restless mind. So he always had something to be bitter about. The current topic was once again...
"You're in deep thought," stated Kiki offhandedly, glancing towards Sessyoumaru at her side.
"Hn. I'm debating on just what kind of chemicals I might need to remove this lipstick stain," Sessyoumaru said dryly, eyes still closed but finger pointing at said lipstick tattoo on face.
"I'm devastated to know that you think of my lipstick that way. It's entirely washable, you know," came the amused reply. Kiki twisted a lever on the side of her seat and leaned back, pushing the back of the snuggly recliner to an extreme obtuse angle, then lounged comfortably in it and yawned, "It's nice to have a private copter, hn?"
She continued on, lazily. "Such a long day, one would feel utterly appreciative of these comfy plush seats, flying in this cool atmospheric weather with no distinguished snooze time... Sooo, Sessyou, tell me, it's the taxes bothering you again?"
So she knew.
His eyes sobered as he muttered sarcastically, "And oh, just what shall I do? Woe is me. You have uncovered my well-guarded worries."
Kiki tilted her head back, playful mood vanishing as a contemplative look washed over her face, before speaking slowly and intelligently, "There are many ways to deduct that formidable sum on your tax bill to nothing, Sessyou."
Sessyoumaru sighed, and turned his head to look out the window, and Kiki took that as a sign that he was waiting for her to continue on.
"One custom is to donate to charity, which your brother and I both do, because either way a lot of money is spent, however, I feel that I would rather give it to those who need it, than to the government as tax."
Ah yes, Sessyoumaru recalled disinterestedly, charity... but that would cost a lot of his money as well.
But hey, Yaseishin Sessyoumaru just wasn't the type to extend any hand of help to just anyone.
You had to gain his respect first.
Kiki continued, tapping her elegant fingers thoughtfully against her chin, "But, for someone like you, you can try something else."
She knew that he didn't want to save on the tax money only to give it to someone else, knowing that he would consider it completely useless and bothersome, but sensibly did not voice this fact aloud.
"You can assume responsibility for others, to put it simply; adopt a pet or child. Or take up volunteer-related activities, something that can benefit others." She looked directly at him with unashamed straightforwardness, a trait that Sessyoumaru had always admired in her.
Besides his mother, no other woman could look into his eyes so boldly and unaffectedly, an equal.
A strange stirring sensation occurred in the pit of his stomach, which had absolutely nothing to do with the grueling speed Inuyasya was flying the copter at. His mind blurred for a second, and he felt an odd numbing dizziness engulf him like an ocean wave.
Sessyoumaru leaned his head back until his eyes focused unseeingly before him, iridescent irises averted and sharpening with a sort of hard glitter.
Kikyou gazed silently at him, feeling more than seeing the distance in his eyes, and how the pair of scarlet stripes on his cheeks darkened with deep philosophy.
She never questioned his choices.
He knew what he was doing. He was practiced in the power of strategy, was a master of chess. No plan would go into action without serious challenging and the utmost militaristic precision. Every possible detail would be weaved delicately into the careful and intricate art of thought. Quite unusual (and ironic), yes, for he would have been much better off as a shogun in the Sengoku Jidai centuries ago, than wasting his energy trying to wangle his way out of paying some seven digit-numbers of required tax bills. Yet, she knew that Sessyoumaru would still persevere, whether in matters of war or wealth.
'Such a total perfectionist... tsk tsk,' she thought fondly.
She wasn't quite sure what went on in that crazy head of his, even though she probably knew more than any other, having been by his side all this time. The workings of his mind were almost inconceivable to the rest of the human race, so complex and bottomless it was.
A thousand fathoms crossed behind those beautiful eyes of dandelion wine.
But to put it simply, Kikyou could feel that Sessyoumaru, with his talent and insight, just wouldn't fail. Except, well (she smiled), he was a little tactless.
She hummed a little bit, waiting for Sessyoumaru to speak.
Meanwhile, Sessyoumaru had stood up, and stationed himself by the window. He breathed in deeply, and turned to face the outside, eyes sweeping carelessly over the oceanic shades of sky and sea.
A completely unrelated and random thought flitted through his mind, and strangely against his will, chose to voice it aloud, surprising even himself out of his dark and contemplative mood with his mild tone, though deep with immeasurable meaning.
"They say the ocean is blue for reflecting the hues of the heavens. It is also said that the sky is blue for absorbing the cobalt colors below. Yet, if this is true, where then, does the blue begin?"
Sessyoumaru didn't even bother turning around to catch Kikyou's gaze to see the allusion with her own sapphire depths. He had often wondered, if her eyes were only but a pair of mysterious mirrors as well.
---------------------------------------------------
"So. You've decided then?"
"Yes."
"Just the one?"
"No. I have another device in mind. I want your opinion on it."
The helicopter was high over the Japanese sky by now, and Inuyasya up front was plaguing his passengers with repeated obscenities about not having found an ideal landing location yet.
Sessyoumaru and Kiki had settled down for quite some time discussing over various ways of worming out of the infamous taxes. He was much more relaxed talking about it to her than anyone else. No one could replace Kikyou.
She had discreetly hinted at adopting a child, but that hadn't exactly been his idea of tax reductions. He was far more comfortable with the suggestion made by the eavesdropping Inuyasya, who had declared that they all should go marching up to the top office and beat the scumbags with cave-man clubs. That had got them a good laugh. But Sessyoumaru decided that he would humor her by going to see the little brats at least. He didn't know why he'd agreed, but just to give it a go. He, after all, actually went and tried something out before deciding that he didn't like it.
Sessyoumaru was an open-minded person, and...
It wasn't justified to reject something if you didn't even give it a chance in the first place.
Now, however, Kiki was asking if that was the only means of tax reduction he was going to use. Well, as he wasn't too keen on adopting a child, he supposed another way would have to do.
"Mmmm... Well, people are such suckers for the 'goodwill' kinda junk." Inuyasya mumbled offhandedly.
"Yes..." Kiki trailed off, lost in deep thought and not really paying attention to what her 'boyfriend' was saying, "Goodwill kinda junk..."
"You know..." Inuyasya continued, "If you just make yourself out to be a sort of Santa Claus figure..."
"WHAT?!! I ain't gonna be no Santa Claus!!" Sessyoumaru yelled incredulously.
Then Kiki suddenly snapped her fingers deftly, and an enlightening sort of look brightened her eyes.
"Yes! Santa Claus! That's it!"
Inuyasya and Sessyoumaru both looked at her as if she were crazy.
"Do you know what Santa Claus does?"
"ER... Kiki. I do think that we all are aware of the fat sand man coming every Christmas to give kids what they want?" Sessyoumaru asked, eyebrows raised.
"Uh huh," Inuyasya said in agreement, "You think satisfying the wishes of other bums can cut down the taxes? WAIT..." Then he paused for a moment, as he jabbed a shaking finger at Kiki's excited face, "Oh-oh-oh!! Yes! I get it! That'll be perfect... especially for someone like him." He emphasized the last word ominously, a smirk spreading across his lips.
Sessyoumaru frowned in slight confusion. Just WHY were his brother and friend looking at him that way?!
Kiki clapped her hands together eagerly, eyes shining a bit too bright for his tastes.
Inuyasya grinned and nudged Kiki with his elbow, while shooting his brother a knowing glance.
Then... he caught on.
That crazy twosome was gonna make him move to the North Pole, so badly did he want to escape the sinister plans these scheming sadists had in store for him. He, Sessyoumaru, famed for associating himself with only the cult of society and harboring indifference towards the monotonous masses, fulfill the fantasy of some ordinary, commonplace, boring, dull, plain, gag-inducing, fancying fan?!!!
No-fucking-way!!!
However, his thoughts were obviously not being taken into account by the duo before him, who were now animatedly engaging in conversation.
"Yes, that would be just perfect. He's always attracted all the ladies," Inuyasya said in a squeakily high and sickeningly sweet voice, as if he had swallowed a jug of syrup. "They'd be sooo shocked by Sesshy's sudden stunning decision to chum with them; they'd all simply swarm to sign up. And the tax buddies would be sooo touched by his charitable contribution and chop down our tax bills too, for simply coming up with the idea..."
Kiki playfully slapped Inuyasya on the arm, and reproved lightly, "Come on. We'll have to work this out right, and certain steps will have to be taken to ensure this operation is both successful and plausible. If done wrong, Sessyou will end up wasting his time and patience, AND suffer at the hands of quite a few fanatic fangirls. If I do recall, your brother really is some chick magnet."
Inuyasya was wallowing in sinful bliss, to the obvious expense of a not-so-enthusiastic Sessyoumaru.
Kiki grinned at the strange exchange between the boys, and then spoke up in a strained tone, trying to sound serious but failing ultimately, "The procedure will have to be handled with a lot of registration and red-tape bullshit, and there'll probably be a lot of redundant confirmations and transferring 'necessary' actions. The government tries its best to prevent the escape of potential funds after all," she added in darkly, then continuing with "It's going to be complicated, but we have to get a permit or some other official license thing, and THEN carry out our plans," ignoring both Inuyasya's elevated expression and Sessyoumaru's distasteful snort.
Then they suddenly felt a lurching weightless feeling before realizing that Inuyasya's lack of attention in the cockpit was causing the copter to spiral downwards, going to hit a gigantic advertisement balloon off the beaches of what looked like Hokkaido.
If they managed to hit that fat orange ball, the force of the exploding scraps of rubber skin and pressured helium would shatter all the windows and render their smooth singing voices squeaky for the remainder of the day. And that would be bad, to put it as an understatement.
Inuyasya promptly yanked on the controller, sending them into an upside down ascent southwards to the main island, obscenities firing out of his jaws like a machine gun rounding out 600 rounds of ammunition. Sessyoumaru joined him in cursing as he grabbed onto the arms of the plush chair he had been pleasantly dozing off in before, while Kiki, who was still tied to her seat with the safety belt, moved quickly to get out of her precarious position, ripping the sturdy strap in a hasty effort to escape the torture of steady blood flow to the head. Her fingers worked nimbly to remove the remains of the restraint, and then worked her way over to the controls, frantically shoving the passionate pilot out of the way and crazily twisting the wheel in any direction other than downward. Kiki's instincts proved to be superior to the red-tie-sporting Inuyasya, as her fast acting had managed to right themselves and set the copter on course, though to the cost of Sessyoumaru plummeting back down onto the carpeted floor alongside the incapacitated pilot in a tangle of limbs. The steep incline of the vehicle also meant the men in black suits previously snoring in the back were sliding their way to the rest of the little party in the front, squashing the latter and jolting the rows of high-backed seats. The previous pilot, awakened by the profound pressure, wriggled wormlike through the debris of assistants, denied any damages done and demanded his pilot-ship back. Sessyoumaru and the black-suited bums promptly tackled him.

AN: Please excuse the continued lack of Kagome! She'll appear pretty soon, but since Sessyoumaru is the main character, things will always show him first, and there needs to be background info too, ne? I hope the crazy end to the chapter doesn't affect your overall feedback, and that you'll comment on the not-crazy things too. Thank you for reading and please review!
