Chapter 3 - Desiring Imperfection
Sesshomaru walked up to his home that afternoon. No, correct that - mansion.
Yes, yes. It was indeed true Sesshomaru was living a fine life..Atleast that's what one would assume..From the outside.
In his opinion, he'd rather be homeless than to live where he did then.
He reluctently opened the door to his home and headed inside.
The entire house was polished with shining, pearl white floors, which were so clean you could practically see your reflection.
A crystal candleabra lingered above every room, and when lit, lightened the whole room. Rich, crimson furniture was placed in every room, with gold like, silk pillows.
In the living room, a fire place burned delicately, casting its flames up to the ceiling, as if trying to escape.
Sesshomaru sighed. 'If only I could escape.' He thought bitterly.
Just as Sesshomaru had predicted, his father stomped angerly into the room, glaring daggers at his son.
"Is it true," His father snarled, "That you got a detention and an F in a home ec assignment AND a detention?"
Sesshomaru nodded, not removing his expressionless mask. He was quite use to his father's ramblings.
"I would expect this from Inuyasha," His father continued, his voice rising, "But not from you. I won't allow it! You will enherit my fortune some day, and you must be perfect. You hear me? PERFECT!"
It all became one loud blur after that. His father continued with his ramblings as Sesshomaru headed upstairs. Of course, his father wouldn't follow him.
To Sesshomaru his father was, how you say, 'All talk and no bite.'
He heard his brother and sister, Inuyasha and Rin, enter. His brother was 15, while he was 16. Rin was at the tender age of 7.
Her, Sesshomaru could get along with..Inuyasha? Well, he's another story.
Choosing to ignore his siblings, Sesshomaru entered his room.
His room was considerably large. A king size bed was placed near the balcany, and he had richly covered, royal blue walls, along with other misc. items.
Luckily for him, he didn't have any homework, since he finished it in detention.
'Detention.' He growled, 'That girl will pay.' Deciding to take his mind of off the girl that got him into a load of trouble, he turned on Linkin Park, Crawling to drown out his family's chattering.
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing,
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
I've felt this way before
So insecure...
He sighed. 'If only I didn't have to be so perfect to everyone.' He thought, picking up one of his novels entitled 'The Whipping Boy' from one of his shelves. (A/N To those who are wondering, the Whipping Boy is a real book. ^^)
After reading for a few hours, the clock dinged 10:00 and Sesshomaru dubbed it time for bed. He changed into his red, silk robe, and silently slid into his king sized bed, and fell into a dreamless slumber.
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome sighed in relief when Kouga left. During dinner, he attempted to flirt several times, play innocent with her mother, saying they had dating plans, and tried to kiss her when she was able to get him out of the door. He probably would of succeeded in his goal if Kagome hadn't slammed the door on his face..
Kagome changed to get ready for bed, longing for her well earned sleep.
She happily plopped onto her bed, clicked off the light, and almost instantly fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~
The alarm clock rang and Kagome was curled up in her covers in a deep slumber.
She whimpered slightly in her sleep, refusing to let the alarm clock win.
Souta opened the door, smirking mischeiviously. This was going to be fun.
"KAGOME!" Souta yelled at the top of his lungs, making the girl jump awake, literally falling off of the bed.
"WHAT!?" Kagome screamed angerly, a vein thumping on her forehead.
Souta snickered. "Mom says it's time for school." He then ran out of his sisters bedroom in a fit of giggles.
Kagome reluctently got up, only to stumble over her covers, which were still wrapped tightly around her legs.
"AHH!" She squeaked as she fell back down.
After detangling herself from the mess, she threw on some random clothes, not caring what they were, and headed down stairs.
As Kagome entered the kitchen, her mother flashed her a confused glance.
Kagome hesitated. "What?" She blinked.
"Why are you up so early?" Her mom asked.
"Umm..School?"
"There's no school today. It's a snow day." Kagome did the famous anime fall, and quickly got back up.
"SOUTA!" Kagome screamed, "I'm going to MURDER you!"
She could hear her brother giggling from upstairs. As she was about to go give him a piece of her mind, her mother grabbed her shoulder.
"Honey," She said, "As long as you're up, why not have some breakfast?"
Kagome was about to say no, but her stomach grumbled, indicating she was indeed hungry. And there was no doubt her mother heard it, as well.
Defeated, she sat down at the table and began to eat.
Someone rung the door bell, and Kagome went to answer it. Her mouth was still stuffed with a mouthful of deviled eggs, and she quickly swallowed it.
As soon as she opened the door, she was hit in the face with a ball of snow.
Kagome heard familiar laughter. "Come on, Kagome-chan!" Sango said cheerfully, getting ready to throw another snowball at the already frozen girl.
Kagome quickly closed the door and grabbed her coat. "Mom, I'm going out for a bit!"
"Okay, honey! Be careful!" Her mother said from the kitchen. Typical response.
Kagome headed through the back door, smirking mischievously. She poked her head to the front yard.
Sango was throwing snowballs at Miroku.
'Perfect time for revenge.' She thought, smiling evilly.
Kagome picked up some snow and quickly rolled it into a ball, and tip-toed up to Sango.
"Konichi wa, Sango-chan!" Kagome said, and Sango turned - only to be hit in the face with a snowball.
Kagome erupted into a fit of laughter. "That's payback!"
As Kagome prepared bent down to pick up another snowball, something pounced on her, and she lost her balance, thus falling on her back into the snow.
"Ow.." Kagome whined and she heard childish giggles. She looked up to see a young boy around the age of 7. He had red hair that covered his eyes, and was wearing an overly large coat and mittins.
"Oh, gomen Kagome-chan." Sango said, picking up the child and holding her hand out to give Kagome a hand. She eagerly accepted the offer for help and got up.
Sango put down the child and turned to Kagome. "This is my little cousin, Shippou." She said, smiling. "He's going to be staying with us for a few weeks. His parents went to Florida for a business trip."
"Oh." Kagome replied, and kneeled down to the childs height and smiled. "Hi there, Shippo. I'm Kagome. It's nice to meet you."
Shippo smiled entergetically. "Hi Kag-chan!" He said happily.
"He's such a handful. But he's adorable." Sango sighed as Shippo plopped down into the snow and began to make a snow angel.
Kagome smiled. "I have a brother," She replied, "But he's far from adorable."
Sango laughed. "Hai, I have a brother as well." She shrugged. "I guess I have a soft spot for kids."
A snowball whacked Sango in the back of the head. She turned to Miroku, who was currently giving Shippou a highfive.
"Girls vs. Boys?" Kagome smirked.
Sango smiles mischeivously. "You bet."
~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru stood quietly on his balcany, watching Kagome play in the snow with her friends. Snowflakes fell silently from the sky while the sun attempted to get a peak on the ground below while hiding behind gray clouds.
A single snowflake fell onto Sesshomaru's nose, and disappeared just as quickly as it had came.
How he longed to live life as someone normal. Not having to be perfect, not having to be so..limited.
Sesshomaru slapped himself mentally. 'Whining will do nothing.' He scolded himself, and headed back inside.

Sesshomaru: You got into the sugar again, didn't you?
