'…' thinking

The Meeting - Julien and Sesshoumaru

'Ah, winter break. This is going to be so cool,' Kagome thought as she bounced on the balls of her feet. She was standing outside on the curb, in front of her dorm in the snow waiting for InuYasha to arrive. When he asked her to join him at home she was ecstatic. Kagome grinned as she thought about meeting his family.

'They can't be all bad,' she thought blowing warm air into her mittens. Her thoughts trailed off as she stared into the horizon looking for a beat-up 1978 Chevy.

'I wonder if he still driving that ol thing?' AS if reading her thoughts she saw a small dot. She squint her eyes and sighed. 'That's not him. Sounds way too nice to be his ol' car from school.' The slowly came to a gradual stop in front of her. Her eyebrows rosed into her scully she was wearing. Parked in front of her was an out of date BMW. Perhaps a 2002 she wasn't sure. All the windows were tinted black and she couldn't see into it. She huffed and knocked on the window.

"If you are looking for someone they all left for winter break." When the drivers said nothing nor wound his window down. She rolled her eyes and proceeded to knock again.

"Hello? I know you heard me."

The door opened. Kagome step back a little ways to see who would step out of the car. Needless to say, her eyes bugged out of her head and her jaw hit the ground. Standing there was her friend. He was wearing black jeans and a long black coat that brush the ground. His silver obsidian locks were covered with a black scully that had Jack Skeleton on the front of it.

"Hey."

Kagome closed her mouth and glared at InuYasha. "Well what the fuck is all this? What happen to the Chevy?"

InuYasha looked sheepish as he popped the trunk and started loading her luggage.

"Pops wanted me to have something better to drive sense I was in college. So he bought me this."

He slammed the hood down and grinned at Kagome. Kagome stood there with a look that said 'I am waiting for an explanation.' Inu sighed, he realized that he had a hell of a lot to explain to her before they got to his home.

"Kagome, did it ever cross you mind once the last name Maxwell?"

"Why should it? What does you dad do to afford something like this. He's not some type of drug pusher is he? Cause if so, you best bet he is going to hear a lot from me."

InuYasha laughed and gestured her to get into the car. "Get in and I will tell you what other people know by heart."

Thus began the long conversation and drive that InuYasha ever endured in his entire life.

5 hours later and 45 mins away from Maxell's Mansion…

"Okay let me get this straight. You father OWNS Maxwell Security Corporation along with several other branches across the FRIGGIN world? You happen to be the third youngest of three boys who one is adopted?"

InuYasha nodded.

"And you neglected to tell me this because? I have known you since 6th grad Inu and you have never hinted at having that TYPE of money to spend so freely. I mean…damn I would have never guess you was a fucking billionaire," Kagome snorted and crossed her arms, "and hear I am going on about how you dress in middle school and high school. Lord only knows…" she caught herself and glared at InuYasha.

InuYasha shivered. He was more than happy to listen to her rant in the car but when she got ever so quiet he glanced out the corner of his eye to see the Kagome Death Look.

"How long has my mother known this, 'Yasha?"

Inu laughed sheepishly and sighed when he saw the gates leading up to his home. "We're hear." He replied before winding down his window to press the security code in to the console. The steel 12 feet barred gates opened slowly and Kagome stared in awes of the house standing before her. Well not house but mansion. It was something out of a fairytale.

Inu slowly glided the car as close to the front door as possible and beeped the horn twice.

'Man, I hope no one else arrived yet. I really don't think I can handle a pissed of Kagome right now.' He thought to himself as he popped the trunk and got out of the car.

Kagome was still shell shock from the mansion. The snow that was on the ground, brought out the majestic beauty of it.

The front door opened and standing there was a slightly aged ol man that could possibly be in his early fifties. He came out to car and started hauling the entire luggage in with InuYasha. Kagome just sat in the car until she heard the trunk shut. There was a small tap on her window and Yasha motioning to her to get out to the car.

Julien stood in the bay window watching as InuYasha's car drove up. He was informed by the young master that he was bringing his friend to spend the holidays and was wondering what this friend was like. When they both step out of the car, Julien eyes widen a bit as he saw the young lady step out and look around. He grinned and decided that this will be an eventful winter vacation indeed.

He collected himself and opened the front door.

Kagome turned around to see the front door open. She smiled. "Hi"

Inuyasha looked up and smirked. "Hey, Jules, could you help me out here?"

"Sure, young master. He grabbed the closest bags and hauled them inside. Kagome followed behind the men and gaped at the interior.

She stood there gaping like a fish for a few minutes and rounded on InuYasha.

"Inuyasha Maxwell you have some MAJOR EXPLAINING TO DO MISTER! I mean what the hell. You are friggin loaded. I mean the outside was beautiful but this…" She whirled around. "This is awesome. I mean you have a friggin spiral staircase leading up to god only knows what….."

InuYasha glanced at Jules to see him grinning. There was a clearing of throat. Jules, Kagome and Inuyasha looked up and standing there on the landing was InuYasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru stood there in a pair of tan khakis, barefooted. He had on a white t-shirt. In one hand he, held a book and the other were a par of thin wire glasses. His silvery blond locks were framing his face and brush the top of his shoulders gently.

"It would be nice if the person who just bellowed could keep there mouth shut," he replied to the noisy people downstairs. InuYasha started to reply back when Kagome beat him to it.


Kagome stared at the man on the spiral platform. He was something delicious to the eyes. Until he opened his mouth. His voice was smooth and melodic but the cold words that left it had made her hair stand on ends.

"You listen here, you could have said keep it down. Not come out of wherever you are all high and mighty like you are the fucking king of the castle."

InuYasha slapped himself on the forehead and Jules hanged his head to keep the young lords from seeing him laughing. Sesshoumaru placed his thin frames back on his face and arched a perfectly manicured eyebrow. As he slowly walked down the stairs, he replied, "What right do you have to come into my home and boss me around? I live here not you?"

He turned another corner and leaned against the rail and glared at her. "Your mouth is just as foul as that mutt behind you but then again, look at what kind of trash he hangs around with."

Kagome turned a few shades red and proceeded up the stairs towards Sesshoumaru. InuYasha was frozen on spot, he didn't want to cross Kagome when she was pissed but he didn't approve of the way his brother was putting his friend down. Jules on the other hand had literally bent over trying to suppress his laughter.

"You insufferable bastard. Don't you ever call InuYasha a mutt. You aren't as clean blooded as you think you are, you pompus ass." She had finally reached him and was standing toe to tow with him.

"My mouth may be foul but yours is fucking atrocious. You are lucky that I am guest of 'Yasha's or you would have met the bottom of these stairs just now. Oh another thing, I advise you to watch yourself from now on right here. You might like to think you run this place but you are just a little boy riding on your father's coat tails."

With that Kagome swung around and stormed down the stairs. She stood in front of InuYasha with her hands on her hips.

"Well, where will I be staying?" InuYasha just gaped at her.

'How the hell did she get away without being hit? Me and the ass would be fighting right about now and I know damn well that Kagome can hold her own.'

"Hello, Earth to 'Yasha."

Inu blinked and stared at Kagome again. Jules couldn't hold it any longer her starting laughing out loud while looking between the two confused brothers.

"Miss," chuckle, "Kagome, please follow me," laughing, "I will take, "laughing, "to your room." Jules grabbed the rest of her luggage and started for the stairs. Kagome grinned and followed him.


Sesshoumaru watched as the girl, Kagome walked past him and up the stairs following Julien.

'That…that .. What the hell just happened,' he thought. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and walked the rest of the way down the stairs.

"InuYasha, please tell me that little brat is not staying here for the 'entire' Christmas break?"

InuYasha looked at his brother in amazement. He had to blink a few times and clean out his ears.

"Did you just ask me a question?"

Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes and growled out. "Yes, I did and it would behoove you to answer immediately."

InuYasha just looked gobsmacked. He didn't know what to say. For once in his like, he was struck silent. Sesshoumaru knew at this point he wouldn't be getting anything out of his half-brother. He sighed and moved away.

"I will just take that as a yes and avoid the little bitch while she is here."

Sesshoumaru disappeared through a door. InuYasha was left standing in the foyer, dripping water everywhere with his luggage sitting at his feet.

'This is going to be a fucked up two weeks,' he thought as he walked up the stairs.
