A Woman Can Fight Part I: A Girls Punch Made Solid By: SilverFangedTiger Chapter: 6- No More Men
JD: hi all, I'm back! Mwhaha! Ok now some questions should be answered now in this chapter..but then again... eh...hmm...lol.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Morning came too bright for Sesshomaru's tastes. He blinked as the sun decided it was time to arise. Doing just that Sesshomaru pulled himself out of the enormous bed and stretched. He was in nothing but his boxers {::drool!::} and the cold air tickled him. He pulled out a pair of sweat pants and made his way to his bathroom. Stripping himself of his boxers {::hehe::}he jumped in the shower.
The first thought that popped in his mind was Kagome. He cursed himself as his mind ran threw thoughts. Why couldn't she remember him? He'd been her first kiss and she'd been his. He smiled at the memory.
- - - - - -
A small girl bounded down the hallway and entered a room. "Hey sesshomaru!" she giggled as she climbed onto the bed with her best friend. "What cha do'in?" she chirped.
The seven year old flashed her a smile worth a million bucks. His brown eyes bright with mischievous glints as he softly yanked on of the five year old's pig tails. "Watchin tv," he laid back as she squealed and tried to hit him. She pounced on him and continued to try and hit him. But he grasped her wrists and held them away from his person.
Kagome looked down from her spot on his lap and both locked eyes. Slowly Sesshomaru leaned upward and caught her lips with his. When they parted they looked at each other and scrunched up their noses then shook their heads. "Nahhhh." they said unison and began to wrestle anew.
- - - - - - -
sesshomaru smiled again as he got out of the shower. 'She still doesn't remember that... even after I 'renewed' her memory so many months ago...' Sesshomaru felt a pang in his heart. He didn't know if he really wanted to fall for her. She had gotten so cold over the oh so many years. Granted he wasn't the warmest person ever but... she seemed as though she didn't want to be warmed. As if... afraid.
Sesshomaru snorted, her? Afraid? That seemed so unlikely now. But then again... maybe she was. Sesshomaru shook his head and slipped back into both articles of clothing.
Walking out into the hall way he made his way to the weight room.
-
Kagome awoke very proud of herself. She had managed to win her first boxing fight. She sighed. She knew she would have anyway, but she still felt proud of herself. She'd never been in a boxing match.
She had been having fun this past few months and that scared her. She didn't want to lose her new found friends. She scowled as she pulled out a work out outfit. "Are they my friends?" she asked herself quietly. Her scowl deepened as she stopped short of the marble sink in the bathroom. Lifting her head to look at herself in the mirror.
Younger Blue-Grey eyes stared back as she dipped into memory lane.
- - -
She looked at herself in the mirror. Blood trickled from her bottom lip. He had beaten her again. Sighing she dabbed at it with some cheap rough toilet paper. Why did her mother leave her so long ago?
A tear left her eye, traveling its lonely journey down her cheek. Kagome watched the tear flow down her cheek. Why? Why had she done so? Was it something kagome did? Another tear followed.
She was only 5 when her mom had left her. It didn't make sense to take Sota and Kikyo with her-
Kikyo. The 14 year old kagome slammed a fist onto the cheap sink counter. She hiccoughed as more silent tears flowed down her face. It wasn't fair. Why did Kagome have to go threw so much pain and Kikyo get away freely. Lifting her head once more Kagome looked herself dead in the eye. She wouldn't take anything any more.
She'd learn to defend herself. She'd kick her bastard of dad's ass. All the pain she wouldn't take anymore. No more tears, she promised herself and wiped away the tears.
No more men.
- -
She blinked when she felt something wet trailing down her face. She raised her head to look into the mirror. "Dammit." she cursed herself as she wiped away the stray tear. Shaking her head kagome stripped her self of her clothes and entered her shower. When the hot water soothed her skin she jumped.
"Dammit! I'm still not used to that!" she muttered. Letting the water massage her skin she started to scrub her hair with nice smelling shampoo that before, she met sesshomaru she never even dreamed she would use. Then she thought of Sango and the others.
"Do they really care about me?" She asked herself again. Turning around to wash out the shampoo. Or was this just a team mate related thing. She and Sango were starting to get really close. That was another thing that scared kagome. She didn't know if she could bear losing Sango. As for sesshomaru... sesshomaru was a cool person. Kagome laughed. She couldn't believe she admitted that to herself.
"As long as I don't admit that out loud I'm fine." kagome laughed again to herself. As she began her conditioner treatment she thought of Miroku and InuYasha. She wasn't close to them. But maybe if she got to know them... maybe she might form a friendship.
"Why the hell do I care anyway?" kagome asked her self as she stepped out of the shower dripping wet. Sighing she dried and dressed. Pulling her hair into a tight bun at the back of her head.
As she walked out in her carolina blue jogging suit she bumped into Sango. "Hey." kagome said in greeting. Sango smiled brightly. "Hi!" she giggled at kagome's wince. "Jesus you are a morning person." kagome muttered playfully. "Don't you know it." Sango retorted. They both laughed on their way to the weight room.
- - -
As the guys lifted weights both Sango and Kagome jogged on the treadmills. Secretly ogling at the bodies of their male friends. "Hey Sango?" kagome asked quietly.
"Hmm?" Sango drew her attention away from Miroku's ripped pecs and did her best to pay attention to Kagome. "Um, I haven't seen a friend of mine in along time. Is it ok if I invite her to stay for like a week?"
"Sure! This is your house too ya know!" Sango smiled brightly. Kagome smiled back. "Thank you! I'm gonna go call her right now!" as kagome walked out of the room and InuYasha set down his weights loudly. "Now what the hell was that?" "Yea." Miroku said following suit. Sango frowned. "What now?"
InuYasha shot her a doubtful look. "Since when has this been her house?" "Yea and since when is she allowed to invite people in our house?" sango's mouth dropped. "You can't be serious." a few moments of silence. "That's ridiculous! She's part of this house hold too ya know!" Sango argued.
Both guys turned to the quiet sesshomaru. He raised an eyebrow, then looked at Sango. She walked over and gave him the puppy face. "Shit." he cursed. "Please sesshomaru. Please!!" Sango whined. Inuyasha groaned. "That's not fair. She has an advantage over us." both Sango and sesshomaru thought it best and wise to ignore inuyasha.
"Please sesshomaru!" she begged again. Sesshomaru threw his hands up. "Alright, alright! Jeez!" Sango cheered. "Thank you thank you thank you!"
- - - - - - - -
When Sesshomaru crossed the foyer a loud knock sounded on the door. Sighing he doubled back towards it. 'Must be Kagome's guest..' he thought to himself. As he opened the door kagome rushed down the stairs. "Kagura?!"
"Kagome!?" before sesshomaru could move out of the way he was roughly pushed to the side with Kagura sprinting past him. The two girls had embraced each other in a tight hug by the time sesshomaru got up from his up-close in encounter with his floor. "It's so good to see you, Kagome- chan!" Kagura chimed. Kagome nodded. "As is you."
"Well," sesshomaru started as he clapped his hands together. "Now that, this little 'reunion' is over with, we need to get back to training. The next fight is in a month! Chop chop!" sesshomaru clapped his hands loudly once again. Kagura's mouth dropped. "Say wha?!"
Kagome sighed. "Um, yea. Heh, I'm a boxer now Kagura."
Kagura's eyes were trained on Sesshomaru. "You mean to tell me, you quit both your jobs to become a boxer?" kagura pulled her eyes off sesshomaru and turned to Kagome. When she nodded kagura sighed. "Are you sure you really wanna do this for a living though?"
- - - - - -
As kagome readied herself for bed she thought about what Kagura had said. 'Do I really wanna do this for a living? I mean I'm 25 years old. I've got a high school diploma... maybe I can goto college once I get paid?.. hmm..but!' she sighed. ' None the less I hafta finish all this boxing business before I even think about college.' sighing once more she padded over to her bathroom.
"Wait.." she turned curiously on her heel to face the door that connected her room to sesshomaru's. "Maybe I could... nah." she shrugged it off then slipped into her bed and in to an eventful dream
They were fighting, again. "Why won't you just stay here?!" she shouted among the thunder. "Because I have duty to my country!" he shouted back from atop his white horse. Their faces were still a blur, blanked out from the thick blanket of fog from the storm.
"So you don't love me enough too stay?! Then you must not love me at all!" she shouted as she coughed from her, evident crying. "that's nonsense and you know it! I love you more than anything!" He shouted with fury.
"But you won't put aside your sword and shield for me!" she shouted again and wheeled around into the small white house, leaving him by himself, much like he had done to her so many times. She watched from the circular window of the kitchen as her warrior once again rode off to war.
Sesshomaru had striped himself of his clothes but left his boxers{::jeez I have a knack for the boxers only thing!::}. Running his fingers threw his hair he blew out a breath. Then he proceeded to pace his room. Why the hell was she being so... what's the word? Difficult? No, that's not right.
Sesshomaru gave an indignant snort. "She's always difficult." as he was thinking he put his hand to his mouth in deep meditation. How was he supposed to tell her, that they used to be the best of friends... 'oh yea, by the way we used to be best friends hope that doesn't change anything.'
He allowed himself a soft chuckle. "Jesus, she is difficult."
"Who's difficult?" came a smooth seductive voice.
He turned his head to see Kagura just entering his room. He quirked an eyebrow as she undid her robe. Letting it pool by her feet she stepped out of it. Only in a lace bra and lace boy cut panties, both pulsing red. She stalked toward him and ran a dainty hand down his back, she nuzzled his arm and laid a kiss on his biceps.
He turned fully toward her and dipped his head to catch her lips. Unclasping her bra as they both fell onto the bed.
Kagome was found brooding over a small bowl of cereal, sitting on the breakfast nook of the kitchen. She scrunched up her face and pushed the bowl away with a grumble about dreams. Staring hard at the cereal she cursed it for all she was worth, in a cynical way she reminded herself. Then in came Sango.
"Mornin' Kago.." Sango greeted cheerfully, Kagome looked up from her brooding and gave a small nod in acknowledgment and went back to glaring at her cereal. Sango grasped a bottle of Orange Juice out of the fridge then turned to Kagome. A frown marred her features.
"Lemme guess, you're having a glaring contest with a bowl of cereal?" Sango leaned over to look between her friend and the bowl. "Looks like your winning too." sarcasm plain as day in her voice.
Inhaling a deep breath for dramatic effect, Kagome retorted. "Yea it's a really hard battle." She glared one last time before smiling up at Sango as her friend laughed.
"Now really," Sango said as her laughing died down. "What's bothering you?"
Kagome sighed. "Its those damn dreams-"
"What dreams?" Miroku asked as he came strolling in. "Oh shit are you serious?" Sango asked wid-eyed. "Your still having those?" Kagome nodded. "Very much so."
Miroku frowned. "What's going on here ladies?" Sango shook her head as Sesshomaru and InuYasha walked in. "We'll discuss it at the mall."
- - - -
After Kagome, Sango and Miroku were seated at the food court; with Kagura dragging Sesshomaru and InuYasha to another store, both men whining the whole way. As soon as they were out of sight Miroku got straight to business. "Alright, spill it now."
Kagome scrubbed her hands over her face she started her explanation. "The third night I spent the night at the Manor, I had this manqué dream. It was a woman and man- the man being a warrior. I don't know what the woman was. But I couldn't see their faces, it was like they were always faded out. First time he came back from war and she greeted him happily. Second time, they had fight and all the way up til' last night they have had fights. About him not leaving and staying with her." Kagome rolled her shoulders as Miroku pondered quietly.
"Hmm." he hummed. "This sounds a lot like the 'The Witch and The Warrior.'" he eyed kagome quietly. "The witchy and the whatty?" Kagome asked wide- eyed.
Miroku sighed. "'The Witch and The Warrior.' an old Irish tale my old nanny used to tell me." he smiled at the memory. "Well?" Face screwed up straight pissed, Kagome threw her arms up. "What the hell does an old Irish tale gotta do with me?!"
Miroku sighed. "Part of the legend- which you obviously haven't dreamt yet. The last time he went off to war he died in the war. She knew that she'd lose him, the minute he left and she went to the circle stones just after he left she laid down and died there, at the same time he was stabbed in the heart with a sword." Kagome nodded slowly. "Still not figuring how this adds me in it..."
"Well, the way the Irish tell it, the Witch cast a spell; so others wouldn't go threw her pain." Miroku explained, somehow knowing kagome would pick up the pieces. "So... you think she's trying to warn me that Sess- someone, is going to hurt me in the future?" Kagome asked, clearly not believing a word she'd just heard.
Miroku shrugged as Sango remained silent. "I personally don't think Sesshomaru would hurt you, but eh, that's ok." he smiled when she snorted. "Me and Sesshomaru aren't 'In Love' as you so blandly put it." she drawled while Sango laughed.
"Hon, you love him like a cat loves fish." Sango stated as Kagome scrunched up her nose. "I personally don't like cats. And I don't love sesshomaru." she stated with a sniff.
"Alright, alright." Kagura cheered as she, sesshomaru and InuYasha pulled up beside the table. "I'm done shopping, you guys cool?"
Kagome sighed, then muttered. "Better than I'll ever be."
- - -
When all six retired to the Manor, it was close to five in the afternoon. After being dragged- unwillingly of course- threw almost every shop in the mall and trying different sorts of things on Kagome plopped down on the couch. Sighing to herself as her head made a comfortable contact with the plush pillow. She considered herself to have a hell of a lot of courage to goto the mall with Kagura. Most would think she'd be a wimp to be scared to goto the mall with a sweet female such as Kagura.
Kagome snorted. Sweet. Hah, there's a barrel of laughs. Kagura had a more bitchy demeanor than kagome. Which is a lot, kagome reminded herself.
Kagura was a demon when it came to shopping. Running from shop to shop. She'd try on At least 35 different pairs of clothes in 35 different colors. Kagome snorted and added to her thought process, with 35 different styles. Crossing her, white short clad legs at the ankles she began to think about her dreams.
Dreams are bullshit. She concluded cynically. She didn't want to believe she had a relationship with Sesshomaru Hemerashi- correction, she didn't have a relationship with Sesshomaru Hemerashi. Nodding to her self in approval, she got up to prowl the room. What did the dreams mean though? That she'd have a relationship with sesshomaru? Or had a relationship with Sesshomaru?
Kagome snorted. "I'd have killed my self if I had known him before." she whispered to herself. Either way she didn't know what she wanted. Before or now. Past or Present. She had feelings for Sesshomaru- "Wait no I don't." kagome denied, face screwed up again. "God, this is so confusing."
"What's so confusing doll?" Kagura greeted as she walked into the secluded living room. Kagome furrowed her eyebrows. "This whole thing is confusing." she muttered as she crossed to the mini fridge and tossed back at kagura a canned soft drink, as she popped the tab on her own. Now kagura frowned. "What's 'this whole thing'?"
Kagome sighed. "Nothing. Some thing I need to figure out on my own. So, how do you like your stay here, so far?" Kagome asked as she took a sip from her can.
"Good." Kagura had a devilish glint in her eye that Kagome knew all to well and choked on her drink. "Why do you have that look in your eye?" kagome asked, thoroughly freaked out.
"Promise you won't call me a slut?" Kagome nodded bored at once in Kagura's girly tone, that one gets when gossiping. "Well... I had sex with sesshomaru last night." Kagome almost spit out her coke and stared at Kagura. "Already!? No offense, you don't even know him!"
"I know, I know!" kagura sighed blissfully as she got up and twirled around the room dazed. Sighing, kagome shrugged. "Well was he any good?" Kagura giggled. "He was fantastic." she spun around the room again. "But I think I'm in love with him!" when Kagome rolled her eyes she continued. "I'm serious! It was love at first sight. I think he loves me too. Do you think he loves me too? I think he does love me." Kagura gushed.
Kagome again rolled her eyes. "Your helpless Kagura. Sesshomaru is cold. He doesn't love anyone other than his best friends and Family- well he hates InuYasha but deep down there's a little brother love." she shrugged seeing as she couldn't see sesshomaru ever loving InuYasha. Kagura scoffed. "So your saying he loves you?"
"What?!?! NO!" kagome shouted immediately. Shifting uneasily on the couch just at the subject. Did he love her? No, she answered her self flatly.
"Well you said he loves his best friends and his family!" Kagura countered. "No, no, I'm not his best friend. That'd be Sango and Miroku. N-not me." kagome said all to quickly.
"Oh god!" kagura gushed. "Your not dating him are you!?!"
"WHAT?!" Kagome yelled. Launching a pillow at her she continued her assault. "Don't you think I'd tell you, you ignorant little-"
"Really kagome, is that a way to treat your guest?" An amused sesshomaru asked leaning against the door frame. He raised an eyebrow as Kagura fled the room blushing like a tomato. Sesshomaru turned his look toward Kagome. She eyed him suspiciously. "How long were you listening in?"
"Hmm.." sesshomaru drawled as he walked into the room. "Since she asked if you and I were dating."
Kagome sniffed and proceeded to straighten out the pillows. As sesshomaru closed the distance between them she stiffened. "Sesshomaru don't get any ideas." Kagome warned in vain as sesshomaru drew her into his arms. "See when you say that, that's what makes me get ideas." He whispered right into her ear, making her shiver as his breath tingled her skin. When she pulled her hands up to push him away he tangled their fingers together and brought his lips down upon hers. His lips massaging hers in a smooth soft rhythm. Their hands still entwined together in the air beside them.
Sango walked in and stopped in her tracks wheeled around with a smile and walked back out to stand at the frame of the door. Smiling she turned to see miroku and inuyasha. Clamping a hand over their mouths before either could speak. Putting a finger to her lips they nodded. Then she pointed excitedly to the room. Both boys frowning they poked their heads out to see Sesshomaru and Kagome. Miroku smiled while InuYasha just shook his head.
Sango tugged both of the men away so Kagome and Sesshomaru could have their privacy.
Sesshomaru pulled his lips away and rested his forehead on hers. His arms wrapped around her waist. While kagome fought to regain her breath her mind chastised her. That was soooo wrong. He started it! Kagome countered her conscience. You helped! But he...he started it! Doesn't make it any less wrong! It yelled as it faded away.
"That was wrong." Kagome whispered. Sesshomaru, shocked, furrowed his eyebrows. "What's wrong?" he asked quietly. Tightening his hold on her. "Kagura." kagome replied flatly. Sesshomaru sighed heavily, as he rested his chin on kagome's forehead. "What did she tell you?"
"That you two had sex last night." She noted that Sesshomaru stiffened almost immediately. "It didn't mean anything Kagome." he said quietly. His arms around her loosened then tightened protectively as if she'd sprint away at any time. "Do you mean anything when you kiss me?" Kagome wondered aloud, then instantly regretted asking the question. She heard Sesshomaru chuckle and could feel him smile against her hair. "Kagome, you mean everything to me. Kagura... she was just there, and I had a lot of stress on my mind."
He noticed Kagome stiffened next. He ran a hand over her back gently, as she began to speak again. "You know, she claims she's in love with you... and she has it in her mind your in love with her."
Sesshomaru snorted when kagome deliberately ignored his confess of how much he meant to her. "She goes along with 10,987,654 girls in Japan." Kagome smiled. "Quite the ego you have."
"No, that's just how many fan letters I get all the time." he corrected as she laughed. "You'll see what it's like soon enough. Having camera's follow you around. They didn't follow me today, but you'll see what it's like when we goto Tokyo."
- - -
Sango giggled uncontrollably as all three friends sat in the kitchen. "And she says she doesn't love him, oh the hilarity." she finished with the pop of her soda opening.
Miroku smiled again. "They love each other more than they'll ever know."
"Or admit." InuYasha added as he finished his beer. Throwing it in the trash can, he looked around bored. "Man, I'm bored as hell." he complained. Sango sighed as she thought of something to do. Then her face brightened "We could goto the Fair."
Miroku quirked a brow. "What are we, thirteen?" he retorted cynically.
InuYasha snorted. "I'm so bored I'll do anything." he looked towards Sango. "What time does the fair close?" he asked as he washed his hands at the kitchen sink. "Hmm.." Sango pondered a second before snapping her fingers. "Aha, I think like 2 or 3 in the morning."
Miroku nodded. "Sounds fun."
InuYasha let out a big breath. "Let's round up the love birds and Kagura and head out then." clapping his hands he went after Sesshomaru and Kagome. Miroku quirked a brow at Sango as she stared at InuYasha's retreating back with a mischievous smile. "Something tells me we shouldn't have let InuYasha go after them by himself."
Sango's eyes glinted. "Mmm I know. But I wanted to have some fun toying with them a little, besides," Sango shrugged as she giggled. "They wouldn't know their love if it hit em' between the eyes."
Miroku laughed as he and Sango met around the kitchen Island and linked hands as they walked out after InuYasha.
- - - -
InuYasha strolled in on Sesshomaru and Kagome talking- still in embraced. He coughed loudly. Sending Kagome springing apart from sesshomaru. "Oh, don't act all innocent, we all saw you guys making out, so now that that's all out in the open let's goto the fair!" InuYasha spoke, grinning from ear to ear.
Sesshomaru smirked as Kagome fought down a blush. "Um..." kagome stammered. Scowling at acting like a school girl she snapped. "Well what are you standing there for?! Let's go!" she snapped.
InuYasha chuckled. "And she's back."
"Fuck you." Kagome retorted. "Only if you'd do it willingly babe." inuyasha countered. Kagome quickly flicked him off and hooked arms with Sango and leaving the room. Miroku and InuYasha watched both girls walk away and turned to look at Sesshomaru with 'Shit-Eating-Grin'.
"Don't start." Sesshomaru warned as he brushed past both InuYasha and Miroku.
- - -
Reaching the fair of Shimoda, Japan. Kagome's eyes lit with amazement. Colors flashed brightly as people milled about. Children grabbing cotton candy where ever they could find it -and reach it- while parents bustled after the kids. She waited patiently as Sesshomaru paid for the tickets. She inhaled the smells and listened to the laughter she never experienced in her youth. She looked on as Fathers plucked up their daughters and whirled them around, feeling a sense of loss and not having.
InuYasha noticed how sad she became looking at the families and drapped an arm around her companionably, "well, what ride do wanna go on first?" Kagome's expression was blank and curious. "Uh... never been on one." every one gaped at her.
"Ok!" Sango decided by her self. "She's going on Terror with me." that spoken Sango grabbed Kagome and headed off, not particularly paying any heed to the guys scrambling to catch up.
Waiting in line Kagome became anxious. She watched as people screamed on the ride, her eyes widening as the Roller Coaster did turns and flips up side down. Sango chuckled. "You'll love it." eyes still wide Kagome swallowed hard and nodded blankly. "Oh yea," she managed shakily. "I'm sure I will." InuYasha laughed at her lightly. "Don't worry its not gonna kill you."
Kagome glared. "That's the least I'm worried about I assure you." moving up in the line the four- Miroku, Sango, Kagome and InuYasha- where a couple steps closer to being on the ride. Sango chatting amiably the whole journey.
- - -
Sesshomaru sighed irritably as Kagura talked none stop. Jesus maybe I should've went on the damn ride, sesshomaru thought miserably. Rubbing his hands over his face he tried to think of something more pleasant. The first thing that popped in his mind was Kagome. He snorted quietly. Not at the least pleasant, he thought cynically, more like a pissed off cat.
As Kagura continued to talk about her life Sesshomaru's mind wandered as far to what it would be like to marry Kagome one day. He laughed mentally at the site of tough, ass kicking, smart mouth Kagome in a wedding dress walking down the isle all made up and dressed up. She'd be pissed, Sesshomaru mused. Funny, but pissed, he thought again with a soft chuckle.
Kagura frowned but shrugged and went on about trying to get him to talk. "So... what was your childhood like?" I imagine, she thought cheerfully, he'd have one of those big blue houses, with the porch surrounding it on a lake. With those tire swings in the back.
Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow. Now why the hell did she want to know about his childhood? He sighed as if deciding wether to do right or wrong.
A boy with blonde hair and sharp tawny eyes, with high cheek bones moved across the side walk deftly. He'd done this before. Just like he'd done so many times before. The unsuspecting citizen, as he bumped into the them on purpose, then he made his move. He stuck his hand in the pocket of the man's tailored pants and sneaked the wallet. Going unnoticed the man shoved him out of the way.
The young boy not even nine years old smirked and twirled the wallet in his hand. Another job done well. Not that he'd be praise for it, his smirk faded instantly. Now, he had to face his father. The mean man that shot and killed his mother. And then he had to put up with the new wench his father had taken and made a small child out of. Annoying little midgit, the boy though angrily.
Despite the fact that, every time the 'Mean Man' went after his little brother he stood up for the midgit. Taking the beating without a flinch. And he knew, he knew today he would take the same beating for both himself and his little brother- InuYasha.
He walked up the dirt path, bare foot and clothes still baggy and a little more torn than they had been when he had left his 'home'. He propped open the door silently. Poking his head in and looking around. Exhaling slowly, he tip-toed quietly into the grungy house. Setting the three wallets he'd stolen on the shaky table he then tip toed toward the hallway. Maybe he wouldn't get beaten today... just maybe.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT!" then again maybe not. Sesshomaru was back handed to the head and was sent flying. Landing with a grunt and an already bloody nose when he tried to pick himself up he was kicked. Damn, what did InuYasha do, he thought angrily as he was punched. Something caught the nine year old's eye. It was his little brother. Standing in the door way. Crying and upset. The little InuYasha picked up the ripped ball and hurled it at his father.
"Leave Sess-wo-mahwu alone!" the small kid wailed.
The father went for InuYasha, the small kid's eyes widening, he obviously didn't think out his plan to stick up for his big brother. Before the father could land a punch Sesshomaru pulled inuyasha to him. The father ending up punching a hole in the wall. Sesshomaru ran with InuYasha finding a hidden spot secluded, he figured his father was staggering drunk again and wouldn't see InuYasha. "Stay here." the small child nodded slowly. But when Sesshomaru started to walk away InuYasha tried to follow him. "No," Sesshomaru said sternly- for a nine year old. "Stay here. I mean it." The small InuYasha cried as Sesshomaru went back out to face his father.
-
Sesshomaru sighed miserably at the memory. "Very uneventful and boring." he explained to Kagura who was eagerly drinking in every thing he said. She nodded. "I'm guessing you didn't have a very 'social' family?" she asked quietly.
Sesshomaru shook his head. "Nope. Mom died with I was 8 and when I was four inuyasha was born." since Kagura knew that was all she'd get out of him she sighed. "I'm sorry... about your mom."
Sesshomaru snorted . "Nothing to be sorry about. I barely remember what she looked like." he looked out to the ride that Kagome and the others had currently went on. His mind distancing by far.
-
"Ooooh man." kagome complained as she clutched her stomach. "That was one crazy flip." she swayed like a drunk. "And I'm dizzy." she added with a laugh. Sango joined her in swaying as the friends linked arms and walked down the ramp and to level ground. Miroku and InuYasha staggering and trying to walk normally behind them.
Sesshomaru stood to met his friends and almost laughed at Kagome's state. "Don't say shit." kagome warned with a shake of her finger. still swaying every now and then.
Sesshomaru smirked. "Shit. There I said it." at Kagome's cynical look he chuckled. "So how'd you like your first roller Coaster?"
Kagome scrunched up her nose. "It was cool. Made me dizzy, but it was cool."
Sango slapped her on the back. "Next ride!" Kagome's eyes widened and her first thought was 'oh god, not again.'
