Sesshomaru Strikes Back

Later on the guys were watching the T.V. Sesshomaru had control of the remote and stumbled on a fascinating program. He sent Jakan upstairs to watch over Rin as she slept. The T.V. showed a young man and some other type of creature clad in black fighting with swords of light. They spoke a different language, but it was subtitled along the bottom of the screen.

"Dude, what is that thing?" Inuyasha said pointing at the black figure.

"The sound of its breathing is bothersome. Whooooo heeeeeee whoooooo heeeee. He must not be a very good predator. The only thing he could sneak up on would be a deaf snail" commented Sesshomaru.

"Hahahaha…good one."

The guys listened and read a little bit and got a better picture of what was going on. Inuyasha said, "K, so this Darth Vader guy wants to kill the little super-human puke."

"Hm. A power struggle. This human male is quite the adversary." They were watching Empire Strikes Back. Sesshomaru leaned in closer to the screen. "Those swords…fascinating."

"I bet the Tetsusaiga could hold up against 'em."

Sesshomaru looked at his brother dubiously through the corner of his eye. When his eyes returned to the screen they watched Darth Vader cutting off Luke Skywalker's hand. Sesshomaru's eyes widened and he heard Inuyasha say "Heh…Just like you, brother. Hahahahaha. Don't need no light sword to cut you to pieces!"

Sesshomaru's eyes grew dark and the stripes on his face got thicker. Inuyasha settled down and realized he had said the wrong thing. Sesshomaru turned his head to Inuyasha eerily and said "So you think what you did to me is funny, Inuyasha?"

"Nah, but I do think you needed someone to kick yer ass."

Mrs. Higurashi stepped into the doorway of the den and said "Well, boys I'm going food shopping. With two extra young men around I'll need plenty of extra food!" She turned to leave, but then remembered to say "Don't worry boys, I'll pick up plenty of grape soda while I'm out"

They both balled their fists and jerked their bent arms back "YESS!" "YESS!"

Sesshomaru thought 'Once Lady Higurashi is gone I'll kill you and have all the grape soda for myself!' then he began to chuckle with great wickedness.

"What're you laughin' at? Hm?"

"Lady Higurashi is leaving."

"So?"

Sesshomaru turned to face his brother "So…she won't be around to see how I eviscerate you."

"Ya can't!"

"Why not?"

"Don't you remember? If either of us does anything wrong neither of us are welcome back!"

'Shit! The little hanyou is right. What if Rin requires help again, where would I go?' "I see. Well, maybe then I will hurt you only enough so you will be healed by the time she gets back."

They both heard Mrs. Higurashi yell from the door "So long boys! Kagome is studying downstairs in Grandpa's room. Try to keep the TV down, will you?"

"Yes, milady, anything you ask." Sesshomaru called back. 'Just don't call me Lord Sesshy again, you'll be taking your life in your hands.'

"Oh, Lord Sesshy" she said "I know I can count on you to keep the peace." Sesshomaru was about to leap up and out of the room when Inuyasha pounced on top of him and blocked his flight.

Inuyasha said "That's right Mrs. Higurashi, we'll keep the peace. You go on and be safe out there!"

"Goodbye boys!" Mrs. Higurashi left for the grocery store closing the door behind her.
