Chapter 4
Sesshomaru butts in.
It is now early March Inuyasha loves the saddle Kagome gave him for christmas. Inuyasha gave Kagome and Sango their own pairs of jockey silks sense the girls wear different sizes. They had a party on new years to ring in 2006. Inuyasha has started training the new two-year-olds and the three-year-old Tetsusaiga. And Inuyasha is getting ready breeding season. He's not sure if he wants to breed Lady Kikyo this year. Inuyasha has two, two-year-old fillies one is red chestnut and the other is bay. The red chestnut is named Lady Luck because she was born on St. Patrick's Day. America's Spirit is the bay filly's name because she was born on July 4th. Inuyasha is in the mare and stallion barn when he heard something. He went outside to see what the noise was. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he saw Sesshomaru's sports car and a horse van pull up.
"Well, well, well hello little brither." said Sesshomaru cooly as he got out of his car.
"What do you want?" asked Inuyasha leaning against the barn's door frame.
"I want to breed this fine stallion to Lady Kikyo." said Sesshomaru pointing to a tall chestnut being unloaded.
"Oh no your not breeding any of your horses to mine." said Inuyasha walking into the barn.
Sesshomaru followed Inuyasha into the barn. Lady Kikyo is standing in the crossties because Inuyasha just came back from a trail ride.
"But Inuyasha this stallion's pedigree is perfect." argued Sesshomaru.
"I don't care if he has the worst pedigree in the world the answer is still no!" spat Inuyasha.
Suddenly Sesshomaru punched Inuyasha causeing him to fall on the floor infront of Lady Kikyo. As Sesshomaru walked up to Inuyasha Lady Kikyo let out a loud neigh. She stretched her neck trying to both bite Sesshomaru for hurting Inuyasha and to protect Inuyasha. Kagome was leading Tetsusaiga twoar the training barn when she and Tetsusaiga heard the neigh.Tetsusaiga pulled free from Kagome and ran toward the mare and stallion barn. Kagome ran after him as fast as she could. Inuyasha sat infront of Lady Kikyo as he pressed a rag against his bleeding nose. Whenever Sesshomaru stepped to close Lady Kikyo would try to bite. Suddenly Tetsusaiga came into the barn and reared up behind Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru turned around and stared at the rearing colt in fear. Lady Kikyo nickered softly as she nuzzeld Inuyasha's head.
"Tetsusaiga down boy down!" yelled Kagome as she ran into the barn.
When Tetsusaiga heard Kagome he went back down on all four feet. Sesshomaru ran outside had the stallion loaded back up. Got into his sports car and sped of with horse van close behind.
"Tetsusaiga bad boy." said Kagome scolding the colt.
"It's ok Kagome he and Lady Kikyo were protecting me." said Inuyasha still sitting infornt of Lady Kikyo.
"Oh my are you ok?" asked Kagome getting the frist aid kit.
"Sesshomaru punched me but I'm fine." said Inuyasha as Kagome looked at his nose.
Shippo and Kohaku came into the barn. Kagome told Shippo to take Tetsusaiga to the training barn. And told Kohaku to take care of Lady Kikyo.
"Well it's a good thing Sesshomaru didn't break your nose." said Kagome looking at Inuyasha's bruised nose.
"We have to get ready to go to the Fairgrounds in Louisiana." said Inuyasha standing up.
Inuyasha has entered Tetsusaiga in the Louisiana Derby. He also has Lady Luck and America's Spirit entered in sperate maien races at Churchill. So he'll take them all down to Louisiana then he'll go to Churchill. After the Louisiana Derby Inuyasha wants to race Tetsusaiga in the Toyta Blue Grass Stakes. So they packed their duffel bags and and got ready to go. Kohaku and Shippo loaded Lady Luck and America's Spirit into the trailer. Then tey loaded Tetsusaiga into the trailer. Tetsusaiga has grown and matured alot but he still be a hand full at times. Now Tetsusaiga is 16.6 hands tall and he's looking better than ever. So far Tetsusaiga is unbeaten in four starts which is a rare feat for a colt his age. Then Inuyasha, Shippo, Sango, Kagome, and Kohaku got into the truck. Shippo and Kohaku are being home schooled now. All three barns are locked up just incase Sesshomaru tried anything.
A few hours later they arrived at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans. Shippo, Kohaku, and Sango unloaded Tetsusaiga, Lady Luck, and America's Spirit. They they put them in their stalls. Tomorrow is Thursday Tetsusaiga will workout rest Friday and race Saturday. The next day Tetsusaiga breezed six furlongs in fouty-six seconds flat. Shippo and Kohaku have their jockey licenses. But they still exercise for Inuyasha. Miroku is there to watch the race and to take Sango out on a date. That afternoon Miroku and Sango went out on a date. Shippo and Kohaku ate salads for dinner while they kept an eye on the horses. Inuyasha and Kagome went to a restaurant near the track. They enjoyed each others company they talked and laughed. When Miroku and Sango returned they went the track to see if there any horses working out. Suddenly Miroku knelt down on one knee and got a little box out of his pocket.
"Sango I've never loved or met anyone like you. Will you marry me?" asked Miroku opening the box and put the rind on Sango's ring finger.
"Oh Miroku I would love to marry you." said Sango blushing.
In the moring Miroku and Sango told Kagome, Inuyasha, Kohaku, and Shippo the good news.
"Oh Sango I'm so happy for you." said Kagome hugging Sango.
Later that afternoon six colts cantered infront of the grandstand. Tetsusaiga drew number two out of six.
"Number 1 is Diablo, Number 2 is Tetsusaiga, Number 3 is Demon, Number 4 is Galloping Gambler, Number 5 is Hot Shot, and Number 6 is Rocky Road." said the announcer.
Before they knew it the sic colts are off and running. Diablo took the lead followed by Hot Shot, Tetsusaiga, Galloping Gambler, Demon, and Rocky Road. On the back stretch Diablo and Hot Shot have the lead. Tetsusaiga and Galloping Gambler are right behind them followed by Demon and Rocky Road.
"At the turn for home it's Diablo and Hot Shot fighting for the lead but here comes Tetsusaiga." said the announcer.
"Come on Tetsusaiga let's go!" yelled Kagome.
Tetsusaiga hit another gear and passed Diablo and Hot Shot. Behind Tetsusaiga is Galloping Gambler, Demon, Diablo, Rocky Road, and Hot Shot. Tetsusaiga crossed the finish line two lenghths infront. Inuyasha met Kagome and Tetsusaiga and led Tetsusaiga into the winners circle. Later that night they arrived at Churchill Downs. After they unloaded everything includeing the horses. Sango and Miroku slept in the truck Shippo, Kohaku, and Inuyasha slept infront of the stalls. Kagome slept in an empty stall. In the morning it was back to the races Lady Luck lived up to her name she won.
