A/N Okay, I'm getting wigged here. That's THREE chapters that sort of blend together. I want to warn everyone this is NOT the beginning of a plot! I swear. See this is why Sessyessence is ending... I'm subconsciously trying to justify this... and it worries me. Greatly! I think we would all rather say goodbye to Sessyessence then watch it develop a plot. I'm really sorry folks, but you know the drill... three more until our beloved Sessyessence is completed. Get those requests in folks! And every suggestion is more then welcome and even if it doesn't get used, I thank you for caring enough about my brain child to help me let it grow. (Brain child eh? Who's the dad?).
CAN'T FIGHT. NO MOONLIGHT
"I choose...."
"BROTHER!"
He was cut off when Sesshomaru burst through the door.
The entire bar shook.
"Uh oh Sesshomaru!" Shippou said ducking behind Kagome's legs. "Don't let him get me Kagome!"
"Brother!" Sesshomaru said. He seemed a little bit less steady on his feet, and more rumpled then usual, but still far too composed for someone who drank scotch from a bowl. "Brother! I challenge you to a duel!"
Inuyasha frowned.
"A duel? What have you been smoking?"
"I do not smoke!" Sesshomaru said proudly. "It's bad for your lungs. I pop pills."
"Well what are you popping?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Children's balloons," Sesshomaru admitted. "I know it's petty, but after I lost .... lost my.... lost my fluffy.... destroying the hopes and dreams of small children is the only thing that brings me happiness!"
A large hot tear fell down his face. Although his face was still composed.
"I know it's terrible but it's what I do to feel better about me!"
Fan girls everywhere stopped whatever they were doing and pulled out large ceremonial knives. They gashed their palms chanting
Force of darkness take my blood
To stem the dreadful flood
Don't let his sexy eyes get puffy
Please protect our Lord Fluffy
Let age nor blemish mar his face
Let signs of change all be erased
A magical gold mist appeared and flew to Sesshomaru. It wrapped around him and all signs of rumpledness or emotions immediately vanished.
"What the hell was that?" Inuyasha demanded jumping back as the golden mist dissipated.
"You should know by now brother," Sesshomaru said arrogantly. "It takes black magic to look this good!"
All the females in the bar nodded thoughtfully.
Sesshomaru looks at his bare shoulder and his lips trembled.
"Though no amount of black magic can bring back my fluffy!"
He managed to get his emotions under control so he wouldn't give his fan girls anemia.
"So I challenge you to a duel!" Sesshomaru said bravely. "For your sword! To fill the void my fluffy has left!"
Inuyasha stared at his brother.
"Here? Now?" he demanded in disbelief.
"God no!" Sesshomaru said shaking his head. "I'm drunk!"
"Oh," Inuyasha nodded. "You do seem a little emotional!"
"I'm a wreck!" Sesshomaru agreed.
The female population disagreed strongly.
"How about tomorrow?" Inuyasha suggested. "That's soon enough for me to kick your ass!"
"No, no!" Sesshomaru replied shaking his head slightly. "I'll be too hung over!"
"When then?" Inuyasha demanded irritably.
"Oh, what about the new moon?" Sesshomaru suggested with a shrug. "Rin should have been able to wring me out enough by then."
"I can't!" Inuyasha replied shaking his head.
"Why not?" Sesshomaru demanded.
Inuyasha sighed heavily.
"I get so sick of saying this!" he muttered. "It's embarrassing!"
"But you haven't told me!" Sesshomaru pointed out. "We never talk brother. There's a real communication's block! Why is that?"
"You're always trying to kill me," Inuyasha muttered.
"Oh yes!" Sesshomaru nodded. "You were talking about why you're too afraid to fight me on a new moon?"
"I'm not afraid!" Inuyasha spat. "I just can't okay?"
"Well why not?" Sesshomaru pressed..
Inuyasha growled in annoyance.
"You'd better listen okay?" he demanded.
"I always listen," Sesshomaru assured him.
"Good," Inuyasha said forcefully. "I'm only saying this once more. Ever. Period!" Inuyasha said sharply.
"I'm all ears," Sesshomaru replied. "Well actually I'm eighty percent water, but you know what I mean!"
Inuyasha shook his head of his brother and took a deep breath before launching into his explanation. "I'm a hanyou, I turn into a human during the new moon! As soon as the sun goes down!"
"Do you think I should get a manicure?" Sesshomaru asked Sago, showing her his nails. "I mean, poison can be so hard on your cuticles."
"Oh I know!" Sango nodded in agreement.
Sesshomaru realized Inuyasha was glaring at him.
"Oh I'm sorry brother were you saying something?"
"I said I was only going to say it once more! Ever! Period!" Inuyasha snapped. "You've missed your chance you big idiot!"
"Don't call me an idiot!" Sesshomaru said mildly. He waited a moment. "So, the new moon a good time for you?"
Inuyasha sighed heavily and rolled his eyes.
"I told you I can't!"
"Why?" Sesshomaru blinked.
"Are you kidding me?" Inuyasha demanded. "I just.... Ugh! Fine!"
He turned around and stormed towards the stage. He jumped up and grabbed the microphone roughly.
"Okay, I'll sing it then! Since I swore I would never say it again. Ever. Period!"
"Sing what?" Sesshomaru looked completely lost. Well, for him anyway!
Inuyasha didn't bother trying to answer. He just launched himself into his song.
Under a darkened sky
I'm gonna be screwed
If demons are around
If you think that I won't fail
Well just wait until
'Til the sun goes down
Without the moonlight, moonlight
There's a magical feeling alright
It will steal my power tonight
I can try to resist
I can even make a fist.
But I know, but I know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
Deep in the dark
I'll get ripped apart!
You know, but do they know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
No...
I can't fight now...
They're gonna tear me apart!
There's no escaping this
Once a gentle breeze
Weaves it's spell across me
No matter what you think
It won't be too long
'Til he breaks my arms...
Without the moonlight, moonlight
We'll be running all night!
Feel it sap your strength tonight!
I can try to resist
I can even make a fist.
But I know, but I know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
Deep in the dark
I'll get ripped apart!
You know, but do they know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
No...
I can't fight now...
No matter what I do
Sesshomaru is gonna get to you
I won't try, I'm never gonna win
Without the moonlight, moonlight
There's a magical feeling alright
It will make me useless tonight!
I can try to resist
I can even make a fist.
But I know, but I know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
Deep in the dark
I'll get ripped apart!
You know, but do they know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
No...
I can't fight now...
I can try to resist
I can even make a fist.
But I know, but I know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
Deep in the dark
I'll get ripped apart!
You know, but do they know
That I can't fight. No moonlight
No...
I can't fight now...
It's gonna rip us apart!
Sesshomaru looked up from his finger nails.
"I'm sorry brother," he apologized. "Could you repeat that?"
A/N I figured there had to be some external force keeping Sessy young and emotionless! Yeah. I updated real quick eh? The next chapter probably won't be up for a year, knowing me.... stars entranced at some white paint for a year.
