Here's my 9th chapter! I think it's gonna be really good! You'll really like this one if you liked chapter 8.

Perhaps because they got of easy, the next time Kiara and Sesshomaru got bored they decided to try something different. After two hours of waiting for their father to return, they were surprised that between his huffs and puffs he had decided no further punishment was necessary because Izayoi did mention to Inutaisho that Inuyasha had been following Kiara and Sesshomaru around, sometimes whining, for hours and hours. She suggested that maybe what had happened was partly her fault because she had been so busy talking care of the house and sorting through Inutaisho's various souvenirs, something he had requested that she do. So a few months later, all their work finished, Kiara and Sesshomaru decided to follow one of their father's own lessons in how to exercise control.

Inutaisho had once said that he gained control of many demons through deception, diversion and 'dropping the bomb'. Kiara and Sesshomaru decided to practice these skills by using Inuyasha as the demon which they had to gain control over. It didn't take them long to think up their plan. The plan was well-thought-out and both of them believed that it would not only work but that it would be fun for them. Of course, they had to come up with a good reason why they had to 'control' Inuyasha. Although their younger brother didn't exactly pester them, he did at times when wanting to stay with them longer than they had planned, mention with a smirk on his face how he just loved to fly. After a while, Kiara and Sesshomaru began to consider Inuyasha's comments somewhat like blackmail. Knowing that their father wouldn't stand for blackmail, they decided that applying the D.D. and Bomb technique as long as they were careful that no one would get hurt might actually get praise from Inutaisho for quick thinking.

So one day after a meeting of various demons at their estate, Izayoi was left with sorting out a collection of objects and information left for Inutaisho to go over when he had more time. Because of this, she had little time to watch Inuyasha. Although he was supposed to stay in one of the playrooms and teach the demon parrot – that had been left as a gift to Inutaisho – to stop swearing, he wandered outside and decided to ambush Kiara and Sesshomaru while they were practicing some of the battle moves that their father had instructed them to go over.

He stood there awhile saying nothing but soon he began interfering with various comments of what the two of them should be doing. This, of course, broke their concentration.

Sesshomaru turned to Inuyasha and said, "Don't you have a parrot as your project?"

Inuyasha then shrugged and smiled. "I guess so. But it doesn't fly. And I love to fly."

With a quick glance to Kiara and a similar glance back to Sesshomaru, the two of them realized that their plan needed to be put into action right at that very moment.

"Inuyasha, since you're done with your parrot project, how would you like to help us with something?" Kiara asked. Then she added, "It's something we really need your help with."

Inuyasha perked up a bit. "Yes! Can I really, Oneesan!"

Kiara nodded.

"We were playing with an amulet that Father gave us after our mother died, and we were throwing it," Sesshomaru said. "I didn't have a good aim and the amulet fell into the well when I tried to throw it to Kiara."

Inuyasha gasped. "What can I do?"

"You see, we're too big to do this. You're the only one who is small enough. We can harness you to a rope and slowly lower you into the well so that you can get the amulet." Kiara told Inuyasha.

When Inuyasha looked as if he was hesitating, Kiara and Sesshomaru both began rubbing a finger to their eye and sniffing a bit. With wide eyes, Inuyasha said, "Are you crying?"

Kiara then replied, "Well …" she sniffled. "… a little …"

Sesshomaru nodded.

Inuyasha then looked as if he was thinking hard and said quickly, "Are you afraid of what Daddy might say?"

Sesshomaru then put an arm across Kiara's shoulders and pulled her close. "No … but it was our …" he sniffled. " … our mother's …"

Kiara then added, "I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose something from your mother … would you?"

Kiara and Sesshomaru both watched Inuyasha straighten his shoulders and shake his head. The deception part had worked. Now it was time for the diversion.

When Inuyasha then said that he might do it, but that he wasn't sure, Kiara and Sesshomaru looked at their younger brother with hope in their eyes and smirks in their mouths. They led him over to the well to show him how easy it would be and made sure to show him exactly why he could do this and they couldn't. Once it seemed that Inuyasha agreed, Kiara demonstrated with Sesshomaru exactly how they would tie the rope around his waist. Sesshomaru then got on top of the side of the well and sat down to show Inuyasha how easy it would be for him to slip down, making sure to also show him how Sesshomaru himself was just too big.

Kiara then bent down and looked Inuyasha in the face and said, "We really would appreciate your help." Then, with a mild desperation in her voice, she added, "We have no one else to turn to!"

With a quick nod, Inuyasha agreed. The diversion was set. So they began.

Kiara and Sesshomaru tightly tied the rope to Inuyasha's waist. They picked him up and began to slowly lower their younger brother down the well. The two of them began to snigger as they lowered the rope. The only thing that Kiara and Sesshomaru could hear besides their own sniggering was Inuyasha's desperate screech exclaiming, "I can't find it! Ow! A rock!". The twins continued to snigger to each other, despite Inuyasha's screeches coming from inside of the well as he searched for something that he would never find.

They were about to hoist him up when all of a sudden they heard a gasp and a blood-curdling scream from beside the estate.

"WHAT IT BUDDHA'S NAME ARE YOU DOING?"

Kiara and Sesshomaru were both startled, and gasped as they saw Izayoi coming towards them from the estate. Her screaming had made the two of them jump, and their grips had loosened from the rope and they both felt a burn to their hands and realized that Inuyasha was going farther down the well. Kiara and Sesshomaru both yanked him back up, the two of them pulling so hard that when Inuyasha was yanked out of the well that the twins fell flat on their backs.

Drenched, soaking and sobbing, Inuyasha grabbed his mother's hands. Izayoi picked him up and brought him to the estate, saying over her shoulder, "The two of you better – and I mean better – have a really good explanation this time!"

When Kiara was about to get up, Sesshomaru lay an arm across her chest.

"Don't even bother," he said. "I'm sure Father will be here soon. And we'll be right back down here anyway."

Kiara sighed. "Now we've gotta get ourselves out of this mess."

They were lying there for a while, both of them humming a traditional song of death. When a shadow fell across them from one side, they looked up to see Inutaisho, his arms folded at his chest. He was staring towards the well, so neither of them were sure of the expression on his face.

Kiara then quietly said, "We're sorry, Father. It's just that we –"

"Deception, diversion and 'dropped the bomb', right?" Inutaisho asked.

Sesshomaru and Kiara just nodded. They heard their father take a deep breath. They weren't quite sure how deep. Deep enough to have them on their backs for another hour? Deep enough to have them suspended down the well for a night? Or maybe deep enough for Inutaisho to use them for target practice at another time? Then they heard him laugh.

"You two don't know how lucky you are to have the brother that you do," Inutaisho told them. "Sesshomaru, do you think what you did to Inuyasha was right?"

Sesshomaru had to think for just a second before he said, "As a brother, no. But as a demon, well? Sort of?"

Kiara and Sesshomaru saw their father nod. However, when Sesshomaru began to get up, Inutaisho said, "Stay there!"

Inutaisho cleared his throat and then said, "And now for you, my dear Kiara. Do you think what you did was right?"

Kiara just said, "No, Father. We abused our power, didn't we?"

She peered up and saw her father nod.

"You may get up, Kiara," Inutaisho said. "What I would like you to do is just go to Inuyasha and tell him that you hope he's not hurt, but that you needed to practice a technique that I had taught you." When Kiara didn't say or do anything, Inutaisho added, "I suggest you do that right now, Kiara."

Kiara got up and hustled off towards the estate.

Inutaisho then walked around and sat and leaned against the well. Sesshomaru wasn't very sure if he should say anything, but he certainly wasn't going to move. Finally, with a very quiet breath, Sesshomaru muttered, "Father? How long are we gonna stay out here like this?"

"Power is a dangerous thing. And unless you understand that power should only be used for good or for protection, you are basically powerless. Since I don't want any child of mine to be powerless, Sesshomaru …"

Sesshomaru wasn't sure what to do because he heard Inutaisho chuckle. Sesshomaru knew that this was going to be either dangerous or very embarrassing. So he took a deep breath and said, "Father … do you want me to spend a day with Yoshi or a day with Aunt Kagome?"

Inutaisho then stood up straight, reached his arm down to help up his son and said, "The choice is yours, my dear Sesshomaru. Because both of them will be equally embarrassing for you, and leave you equally powerless for the day."

Torturing, huh? Review if you liked it!
