Akina: and while Tsuki is running around doing her chores, I am doing everything I can not to go home yet, because I too have chores waiting for me at home that I know I have to finish.

Akina: I know. grins like an idiot I'm gonna write some more!

"Sess. Se-essss. SESS!"

Sesshoumaru groaned and pulled his pillow over his head.

"Wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up! WAKE. UP!"

Sesshoumaru groaned somre more as his little brother climed onto his back and hopped up and down, making the entire bed bounce and forcing Sess to actually wake up.

The older, larger, and much stronger of the two brothers lifted Inuyasha off of the bed by the hem of his collar. The little boy was grinning stupidly.

"Morning, Sess!"

"What...are you doing...in my room?" Sess asked him groggily.

"Dad said that I should get you up before the sun reaches the top of the big mountain in the East."

Sesshoumaru, still holding Inuyasha, walked over to his window facing East and stared. "Inuyasha...I DON'T EVEN SEE A SUN!"

Inuyasha grinned. "I know!" He said proudly, as if it were some great accomplishment. "I figured we could start early and be able to watch the sun rise together! Wouldn't that be fun?"

Sess growled at the boy. Sure, watching the sun rise with his kid brother would make for a cute sappy brotherly love scene, but Sess was much too tired for anything along those lines, as was Akina. So, Sess put Inuyasha on the ground, crawled back into bed and burried his head under a pillow.

He almost secceded in falling back to sleep. Almost. Inuyasha was not going to let him off that easily.

"Get up get up get up get up get up get up get up get—"

Sess groaned as he felt the familiar weight of Inuyasha started hopping on his back. I will not be tempted to kill him this early. Oh no, that would be bad. That would mean that I would fail father, and not after five minutes of this important task! I'll just...I'll just...ignore him! Yes, that's a plan.

This worked for about...oh, say ten minutes. When Inuyasha realized that he was being ignored, he walked to the other side of the bed and grabbed the edges of the quilt, lifting it up and exposing Sesshoumaru's face to the increasing ammount of light. This did not make the teen happy, and he mumbled incoherently and tried to turn on his other side.

Young Inuyasha knew that his brother was going to roll over. So before he could, two pudgy fists plunged under the covers and grabbed two fistfulls of Sesshoumaru's silver hair.

"Augh!" Sess cried as he was stopped mid roll. "Leggo!"

This was proceded by a short tug-o'-war over Sess's hair, in which Inuyasha fell back onto his butt while holding a few silvers hairs on each fist, and Sess sat back in the bed, holding his sore scalp.

And thus began Day 1 of Sess's "Great Responsibility".

"Sess," whined Inuyasha, "I'm hungry."

"And your point is..." Sess grumbled, shuffling around his room trying to find something to wear. That was when he heard the distinct rumble of a growl.

"Are you growling at me?" Sess asked, a bit amused and a little annoyed.

Inuyasha looked at him blankly. "No," he replied with a shrug.

"Then what is that noise?"

Inuyasha shrugged and Sess heard it again.

"That's definitely something growling," Sess mutterd. But where was it coming from?

He looked under his bed to see if it were possible that something was under there making the noise. Met with darkness and a few dirty socks, he turned back to his brother.

"You're sure?"

Inuyasha nodded vigerously, eyes wide. "What is it, Sessy? Is it a monster? You can kill it with your claws, right?"

I'm more tempted to kill you with my claws right now...Sess thought wistfully, continuing his search. He noticed a strange box on the floor and went to pick it up, but Inuyasha squeaked and jumped onto his bed.

"What?" Sess asked, exasperated.

"That's a..."

Ignoring his brother and pulling the string out of the side of the box, Sess was most surprised when it blew up in his face. In fact, he was so surprised that he never registered it burning off his eyebrows.

"...firework...hey, your tail is burning," Inuyasha said blankly.

Sess yelped and began to spin in circles, trying to blow it out. But it was no use, he couldn't catch his tail. On top of that, he heard the noise again.

"I'm really hungry, Sess," Inuyasha informed his caretaker. Sess stared at his younger brother for a moment, understanding dawning on the elder youkai.

"...hungry...growling...IT WAS YOU!" Sess exclaimed, growling himself.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Duh," he said in an adult tone of voice. He then wandered out of the room and towards the general direction of the kitchen. "C'mon, I'll make you breakfast Sess!"

Sesshoumaru began to twitch.
