A Few Months Later:
Kiara and Sesshomaru left their estate to go to their secret spot in the forest after they finished their studying for the day. Their secret spot was a waterfall – that went into a lake – that was in the middle of the forest. Behind the waterfall was a deep cavern that nobody except the two of them knew about. Over the years, Kiara and Sesshomaru had made the waterfall and the cavern like a second home for them. They loved being there and most of all, nobody could bother them.
Once the two of them got to the waterfall, they immediately ran into the cavern. They sat down against the wall at the end of the cave (which was probably a half-mile walk).
"You're hiding something," Sesshomaru said. "I can sense it."
"Uh …" Kiara said. "What would I be hiding?"
Sesshomaru laughed and put his arm around his sister's shoulders. Kiara aggressively shoved Sesshomaru's arm off of her shoulder, and in the process, hit her brother in the face.
"Why did you do that?" Sesshomaru asked.
Kiara turned her head so that she wasn't facing Sesshomaru. "I am not hiding anything,"
Kiara blushed. She felt her whole face grow hot. She kept turning the other way whenever Sesshomaru tried to look at her face. Kiara soon had enough and shoved Sesshomaru against the dirty ground.
"Kiara!" Sesshomaru whined as he dusted himself off. "Why are you being such a jerk?"
"You're bothering me," Kiara replied. "I'm not hiding anything … per say …"
Sesshomaru smirked and tugged on his sister's silky silver hair. Kiara, who always took great pride in her hair, rapidly turned around and revealed her face.
"You're blushing …" Sesshomaru said.
"Do not ever … EVER … pull my hair again!" Kiara snapped. "How can I get you to stop bothering me?"
"Admit it," Sesshomaru said. "Admit you have feelings for Hakkaku. You don't wanna be like me and hide your emotions, do you?"
Kiara sneered at her brother. "Fine. I have feelings for Hakkaku. Now will you stop bothering me about it?"
I knew it! Sesshomaru thought.
"Sure," Sesshomaru said. "Wanna play in the lake?" He got up and put his hand on Kiara's shoulder.
"Yeah. Okay." Kiara replied. The two of them went to the lake and fooled around in the water for a while before they headed back to the estate.
The Next Day:
Hakkaku came over that day to hang out with Kiara and Sesshomaru. Right away, Hakkaku ran off with Kiara and Sesshomaru into the backyard. The three of them sat in the grass and started talking about a demon battle that took place at a demon slaying village.
"My father nearly got killed by this demon slayer," Hakkaku said. "I'm telling you, those humans are strong."
"We got killed by humans, remember?" Kiara said. "Surprisingly, there are a lot of strong humans."
After Kiara and Sesshomaru told Hakkaku about their latest (and only) tricks on Inuyasha, the three of them got bored and tried to think of something interesting to do. Then, Sesshomaru remembered that Izayoi had a dress form that she never used anymore. He came up with the idea that they dress it up as a human and start practicing with it.
"That's a good idea!" Kiara exclaimed. "It's more realistic than practicing on thin air!"
"Wouldn't your stepmother get mad?" Hakkaku asked.
"Nah," Sesshomaru replied. "She probably doesn't even remember having the dress form."
Kiara and Sesshomaru went to the storage room and sneaked out Izayoi's dress form. They brought it out far out into the backyard. Hakkaku was there, waiting for them.
"Let's make this more interesting," Hakkaku said. "Let's dress this up as someone who we hate."
Kiara and Sesshomaru both snickered. The two of them thought that it would be a great idea.
Hakkaku said that he wanted to dress it up as a babysitter who he used to have. He said that she wore a scarf around her shoulders and that it was tied in the front, kind of like a huge necklace.
"No, it's our stepmother's dress form, we're dressing it up like our aunt Kagome," Kiara said.
Sesshomaru burst out laughing. "Yeah! She wore a silky scarf that she made look like a flower that she pinned to her shoulder. Hakkaku, Kiara and I are gonna get some clothes, wanna come with us?"
Hakkaku nodded. The three of them went into Izayoi and Inutaisho's bedroom and started searching through Izayoi's clothes. They picked clothes that Izayoi rarely ever wore, and took off to get back to their project with the dress form. Kiara, Sesshomaru and Hakkaku laughed hysterically as they made the dress form look like aunt Kagome.
The three of them started to use their energy whips to practice on 'Aunt Kagome'.
"Aunt Kagome – chapter five, section three! Table manners! What is it?" Kiara demanded of the dress form. "You don't know? Too bad!" She whipped the dress form, only light enough so that she wouldn't destroy it from the energy whip's mass power.
And on, and on and on 'Aunt Kagome' paid dearly during their twilight of fun. However, once it got dark, amid all of their laughing, Hakkaku noticed some bright flashes in the western skies.
"Hey! Firecrackers! Let's go check it out!" Hakkaku exclaimed. He pointed to the flashes in the sky.
"Where are we gonna put this?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Let's put it behind that storage shed where Father keeps all of his swords and stuff. Izayoi never goes there and Father never goes behind the shed, just in it." Kiara replied.
The three of them quickly chucked the now half-destroyed dress form behind Inutaisho's storage shed and ran off to check out what was going on with the firecrackers. They had a great time when they were seeing what was going on with the firecrackers. On the way back to the estate, Kiara and Sesshomaru dropped Hakkaku back off at his house. When they finally got back home, Kiara and Sesshomaru knew for sure that it was very, very late into the evening.
"Where the hell have you been?" Inutaisho asked.
"We went to see the firecrackers with Hakkaku," Kiara replied. "We brought him back to his house on our way back."
"We're sorry, Father, but firecrackers are rarely ever shot around here," Sesshomaru said.
Inutaisho rolled his eyes. "Okay. Just tell me next time when you go out of the yard. I didn't know if you two ran into some demon that had a grudge against me and that the two of you got your heads cut off."
You won't believe what happens in the next chapter! Please review! Oh, and the Hakkaku in my story isn't the same as the Hakkaku who's the wolf demon with Koga.
