Culture Shock

Sesshomaru stormed into the room his brother had entered and was overwhelmed with the stench of humans. Kami in heaven, they were everywhere! Most of them stared in shock and fear, the appropriate reaction for a Youkai Lord such as he. He glared around the room and shouted in his most menacing voice, INUYASHA! Where are you, you half-breed bastard?!

"Ah, shimatta!" he heard a familiar voice echo over the crowd.

"Who's that?" a panicked voice near the first pleaded.

"My dumbass brother."

Sesshomaru didn't understand what was being said, as he had never heard English spoken before, but he knew the gist of what was said. His half-brother had just insulted him, and he would pay for it.

The demon lord caught Inuyasha's scent and stormed over towards him. Well, I never thought you'd lower yourself to associating with humans. Especially with that worthless girl you always traipse around with.

You watch who you call worthless, Sesshomaru! Kagome shouted at him angrily. He responded by backhanding her and sending her flying into a speaker. "KYAA!" she screamed as she sailed across the room.

Inuyasha watched in shock, and the turned towards his brother, angrier than he'd been in a long while. Oh, that was dumb. NO ONE, I don't even care if it's you, hurts Kagome without answering to ME! he hollered, shrugging off his suit jacket.

Heh. That only proves you're stupider than I thought. You're fighting ME on the night of the new moon? A cruel smile played across Sesshomaru's face. Fine by me. It's your funeral.

He lunged towards Inuyasha, who leapt to one side and grunted. The crowd of teenagers screamed and made way for the two to battle. Sesshomaru swiped at Inuyasha several times, and each time the hanyou-turned- temporarily-human managed to just barely dodge his half-brother's blow. Unfortunately, Sesshomaru caught Inuyasha by the hair, grabbed his throat and pinned him against the wall.

The Lord of the Western Land smiled. Any last words before I crush your pathetic throat? Or do you want to tell me where Tetsusaiga is?

Kiss my ass! yelled Inuyasha, kicking up with his left leg. Sesshomaru dropped him and doubled over in pain.

That. . . he panted and squeaked at the same time, . . . was cheap!

Feh. So's attacking a guy when he's unarmed, you bastard.

The door burst open, and a voice shouted, "Inuyasha! Catch!" A glint of black lacquer work flashed through the air, and Inuyasha's hand shot up to catch Tetsusaiga.

"Damn it, Miroku, you have really shitty timing!" he hollered at the perverted monk, who was standing in the door, wearing his usual clothes. "Thanks, though!"

A clash of iron brought Tetsusaiga out and flashing before everyone's eyes. Aw, crap, thought Inuyasha, I forgot I can't transform the sword when I'm human! Sesshomaru seemed to catch on to this thought. He stood, cracked his neck and glared at his brother.

That was stupid. Now you're going to die. Inuyasha saw the poison claw begin to smoke and prayed to whatever gods could hear him that his face wouldn't be melted off. As the Demon lord strode towards our hero, a loud blast of feedback startled the crowd.

"Aggh! What the hell?!" yelled Inuyasha, covering his ears.

The feedback had left Sesshomaru's sensitive hearing in shock. He roared in pain and turned towards Inuyasha, hand over his ears. This isn't over, half-breed! he sneered, and then stormed out the doors.

Inuyasha was left panting and wishing it was dawn.

Sesshomaru didn't bother with going down that well to return home that night. The last thing his damaged ears needed was Jaken's constant whining and grumbling. He leapt onto the Shinoda's roof and spent the night sleeping behind the chimney.

He awoke to hear Inuyasha's yelling. I can smell you up there, you dick! he was shouting. Come on down, and I'll clean the floor with your pansy-ass now that I've got my power back!

"Inuyasha-san, come inside. Stop yelling at the roof! There's no one up there!" an unfamiliar yet maternal voice called from inside the house.

My damn half-brother is up there and left without finishing a fight! He's going to get his ass down here or I'll go up there and get it down myself! And I don't think I want to mess up this 'satellite dish' Mr. Shinoda keeps talking about!

Sesshomaru poked his head over the roof's edge. Shut up. I'll come down, but you're not worth my time right now. I'll fight you when you get back. He leapt off the roof, and shoved his brother, who was brandishing Tetsusaiga and wearing only his underwear, aside. Sesshomaru jumped down the well.

A few minutes later a furious roar boomed from the depths of the well. Kagome came running outside with Ayako and Miroku. Four faces, three of which Sesshomaru recognized, peered down at him from the top of the well. What's wrong? asked the monk.

Why won't this well open and let me return to my time?! the youkai at the bottom of the well growled.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha. You didn't tell him we can't go back through it?!

He pissed me off, and it kinda slipped my mind! Don't blame me!

What do you MEAN I, Sesshomaru, can't go back through this well?!! Sesshomaru was MAD. He jumped straight out of the well and glared at the four. How in hell am I supposed to get back to my time when the well is closed?

Well, you can get back, the unfamiliar girl, Ayako, pointed out. However, it's only open on the 19th of each month. Yesterday was the 19th, so you have to wait a month.

Inuyasha smiled devilishly. Guess you're stuck with more for a whole month, Sesshy-ani-chan.

Sesshomaru whirled on him, resenting the epithet from childhood. Don't ever call me that again! he growled, then stomped inside the house. Mr. Shinoda had tried to force Sesshomaru into earning his keep, but one glare from the Lord of the Western Lands changed his mind.

Shinoda Yukichi really regretted not listening to her grandmother's stories of youkai when she was growing up in Japan. The information in them may have been handy. Now that she had two youkai, a hanyou, a houshii and a miko under her roof, she wished her grandmother's stories were still with her.

What do you want for dinner? She asked the tall, white-haired youkai lord when it was announced he'd be staying for a month. A simple growl, and she decided that some nice oden would be suitable for the entire crew of nine. She opened the cupboard and realized that she desperately needed to go shopping.

"Ai-yaa. . ." she muttered to herself as she grabbed the car keys and headed out the door.

So there you have it! Chapter 10! Woot! I hope y'all liked it, so far you seem to like this story! I wanna encourage you to take a look at the art for this story and tell me what you or go to my profile and click on my homepage!) The pictures, I promise, are worth it. (Mmm, bishonen!)

Sorry about the lack of quote marks. Stupid FF.net quick edit won't save the as Japanese language brackets. I didn't feel like putting them ALL back in, so, deal with my laziness.

Note: Ani-chan= big brother in Japanese.

I'm still debating whether or not I'll be tainting or improving the goodness of (as Teyo puts it) Sess-kun by putting him in American clothes. It might pose a problem, seeing as he's got a tail. . . but, hey, if it works for Shippô. . . I don't know. Let me know what you think.

¡Toque el boton marrón!
