I don't own any anime characters mentioned in here. I do own Saeble thank you very much.
"What!" Saeble exclaimed.
"That's what he said! Chrono said he was going to live with Rosette!" cried Saeble's neighbor, Sasami.
"Oh, well she IS a nun so I don't have to worry bout anything," pointed out Saeble.
Then Sesshoumaru, Kagura, and Kikyo walked in the front door.
"So, when are we going to try again?" asked Kikyo, looking to Sesshoumaru.
The dog demon shook his head, "Those events will not be spoken of from now on."
"Sesshoumaru!" exclaimed Saeble.
"Yes..." said the dog demon, unsure of what was coming.
"Are you really a clown? Because I love clowns!" yipped Saeble. She hugged the dog demon again.
"It's not polite to make fun of someone's job, Saeble," said Sesshoumaru.
"Well I'm a fireman. And I'm not a man. So technically I would be a fire-girl, or maybe a fire-women, or something like that. I don't know!" sobbed Saeble.
"Why not just call yourself a fire lady…" mumbled Sesshoumaru.
Saeble gasped and drew away from the dog demon. "Se- Sesshoumaru…" she stuttered.
Sesshoumaru's eyes were as impassive as ever, but he was a little confused as to why Saeble was acting the way she was.
"Thank you for the great idea Sesshoumaru! From now on… I will be known as Saeble, The Fire Lady!" exclaimed Saeble.
Sesshoumaru backed away, "Well, I have to be getting to work now…" The dog demon walked out the door.
All of a sudden, a bright red race car skidded to a stop right in front of the Lord of the Western Lands. The door swung open, and out popped Sano, waving a giant waffle in the air.
"My breakfast was interrupted!" screamed Sano. With his eyes nearly bulging out of his head, "My stupid son Shippo turned on the TV and I saw news caster Crim and he said that he knew for a fact that Sesshoumaru had been planning on marrying Saeble! And he can't do that because SHE is my enemy! If my cousin were to marry my arch-enemy, then it would be horrible! I would kill myself!"
Sesshoumaru kept his impassive face, "I'd provide the weapon."
"That's not very nice!" yelled Sano.
Saeble then came out to see what all the noise was about, "NO one is breaking is breaking anything, are they?"
"YOU!" Sano screamed in anger.
"Ooo… an angry yell… why does that sound so darn familiar," pondered Saeble.
Then Armbrust smashed through a window and landed in the yard. He sat up, coughed, and said, "The War of the Serpents has started!"
"What are you still doing here!" demanded Saeble.
"Well we were just leaving!" he yelled back.
"Get outta here!" retorted Saeble.
"Fine! But I'm leaving with your aunt! Let's go Éclair!" said Armbrust.
"Then I take that as permission to marry Sesshoumaru!"
"No!" whined Sano, "You can't marry my cousin! That's just too weird! We're enemies!"
"Too dang bad! Sesshoumaru and I are going to get married and then we are going at adopt poor little Sasami!"
Sesshoumaru was starring at Saeble with a slight look of disbelief; nevertheless, he made no objections.
In the room of the Serpent Battle, the actual battle was just heating up. Kenshin had now drawn his reverse blade sword and taken his spot next to his wife, Lumiere. Éclair on the other hand, had, by now, leapt out the window she had originally leapt in from.
She landed next to Armbrust and helped him up. "Let's get outta here," said Éclair. Armbrust smiled and nodded.
Éclair walked calmly over to the bright red racecar and grabbed Sano by the back of his neck. She used her super-human strength and threw him fifteen feet away. Éclair got into the drivers seat of the car and motioned for Armbrust to get into the passenger's seat. Armbrust scrambled to get into the car and made it just in time before Éclair slammed her foot down on the accelerator. Sano's bright red race car sped off into the distance.
"NOOOOOOO!" cried Sano, reaching in the direction that his car had vanished, "I can't be a racecar driver without my very own racecar…"
"Shut the hell up. Your whining is giving me headache," droned Sesshoumaru.
"I agree with Sesshie," said Saeble.
"Oh, of course you would! You are a traitor to the family Sesshoumaru!" screeched Sano.
"Like I care about the family of a scarecrow…" said Sesshoumaru, rolling his eyes. "Besides," he added, "I have a new family here." And with that, the dog demon turned and walked inside. He hadn't forgotten about his job, but he just didn't feel like dealing with anymore crazy people like Vicious the make-up artist and Roy the hair designer.
Saeble stuck her tongue out at Sano and followed Sesshoumaru inside.
Sano glared more evilly than he had ever glared before and whispered to himself, "This is war Saeble… this is war…"
Darcia growled as the door to the secret cavern opened, "What took you so damn long, Hughes?"
Hughes threw his hand sup into the air, "Don't shoot the messenger, but Sesshoumaru is on your niece's side now. Rumor is, they're married… but how can that be! I wasn't even invited to the wedding! And I'm Sesshoumaru's own brother!"
Darcia glared at Hughes, who then took a few steps back. Darcia was about to say something when they were interrupted by a female voice calling out, "Daddy! Daddy where are you?"
Akito came barging in and flipped on the light switch. Darcia, Aktio's father, hissed and recoiled into the corner.
Akito put her hands on her hips, "Dad! I can't do your job forever you know!"
Darcia stood up and dusted himself off, "I'll pay you extra if you watch them until they're picked up."
"No dad! I'm going over to my best friend's house!"
"Miss Badger-something-or-other?"
"Lt. Badgeral!"
"Whatever…" said Darcia, rolling his eyes.
Akito sighed, " Well I'm leaving now, and you don't want the kids to sticking their metal forks into the power socket again, do you?" Akito then turned and left.
Darcia growled. He hated his job. He hated it with a passion. The blue haired Nobel walked down to the end of the hallway. Only now was he aware that Hughes had followed him…
"Are you good with kids?" asked Darcia.
"Well I guess so, why?" replied Hughes.
Darcia's eyes narrowed He stopped at a door at the very end of the hallway. Slowly, he raised his hand up to a small rectangular button. He pushed it. The door opened to reveal fourteen very wild looking toddlers, some of whom were literally bouncing off the walls. There was colored paper torn up all over and wooden blocks were flying across the room every which way. One child was dressed up as a goose, and a few other were singing a song in the language of the mole people. All of the other kids were screaming at the top of their lungs and running in circles for no reason at all. Every so often, two of the children would run head first into one another.
Hughes tried to back away but was caught by the color by Darcia.
"Where in the world do you think you're going?" asked Darcia.
"Um, well, I have my own daughter to look after thanks, my darling Alicia," said Hughes as he gulped.
"Oh, you're not going anywhere Hughes, you're going to suffer through this with me," whispered Darcia.
"B-but why me?" demanded Hughes.
"Because my own son won't help, Hiei has his own job anyway. And you are lucky enough to be the only one around," answered Darcia, keeping his eyes on the untamed children.
"Hiei has a job? Do you mind telling me what that is?" asked Hughes, trying to get his mind off babysitting.
"He's a florist."
Well, there you have it! Chapter 2!
Next Chapter: Jet, the cause of the Serpent Battle, gets distracted, but by what? Sano had a cell phone that matched his stolen racecar and didn't even know it! And what will become of Shigure when he tries to sneak past all the fighting to get to the kitchen?
