A/N: Sorry again for a late update, more computer problems. We had to re-install the operating system and I didn't have access to the internet all week, I did type though!
On another note, thank you for the support on this fic, at the bottom, I have answers to your reviews; I didn't do that last time because I was being lazy.
Well, here's chapter three does crazy dance enjoy. :)
"This is stupid, I'm so SICK of this!" InuYasha went on rambling as he dusted the classy furniture about the living room.
InuTaisho, the highly respected demon that was father to the hot-headed half-breed, looked up from preparing his famous gravy. "What are you exactly sick of? The fact that you look so cute with that feather duster, or is it something else?" While snickering and ducking down to look for that 'special ingredient', InuYasha turned around with the said feather duster, pointing it threatingly at that witty father of his. His ears, now in the form of little white dog ears at the top of his head, were twitching in annoyance.
"NO!" the flustered hanyou stated, ears twitching and teeth gritting all the way, "I hate taking the appearance of a human!, It's stupid, even though we still have our abilities about us, it's pointless, why hide what we truly are?" Crossing his arms ignorantly he added, "If there is one thing I agree with Sesshomaru on, it's this, it's stupid!"
InuTaisho looked up, shaking his head hopelessly at the proud hanyou. "InuYasha..." he said slowly and deliberately, "You know the reason, even Sesshomaru has come to live with this change, he knows it's the best, so you might as well accept it too."
Rolling his eyes, InuYasha was sorry that he brought up the subject; here came the speech he got when ever he complained about this.
InuTaisho continued, "There are various reasons why we must appear human. First, in today's society, if you went out there with those dog ears of yours, those claws, the golden eyes, do you know what kind of suspicions may be brought on to this family?"
InuYasha grunted in reply, turning to dust of the coffee table while listening. "Also" the determined father continued, "They would find us, you don't want that, do you?" InuYasha noticeably filched as his father continued, "We couldn't stand up to them and it would leave your mother all alone..."
"Okay! You've said it! I'm convinced." InuYasha knew that his father hated the thought of leaving his mother alone by herself... he too himself had a weak spot when it came to his mother. InuTaisho smiled, sensing his son's frustration, "InuYasha, just put up with it, when were home, we can be as we are all we want!" He then excitedly turned back to preparing his gravy.
InuYasha looked at him 'Hopeless old man, he's lost it!' Finished with dusting, he entered the kitchen, almost slipping on the polished oak floors. He went over to see what in the world his father was concocting.
"WHAT IS THAT?" InuYasha wanted to faint from the smell.
The wise Inu looked up with a triumphant smile. "It's a recipe from way back when; I haven't cooked it in ages! I just love it!" he added with a bit of a pout, "You mother use to make it, but she doesn't anymore, I just happened to find the recipe!"
InuYasha looked at it with curiosity, "Are you plotting to poison my girlfriend and her family?"
InuTaisho golden eyes widened with insult. "I'm not done, plus, remember what your mother always says." He added with a grin, "don't knock it til' you try it."
With that, InuYasha proceeded thorough the halls to put away his feather duster.
Looking around the room, pleased with the restored cleanliness, Sesshomaru looked at the time and decided it was time to head out. Grabbing his slightly overstuffed suitcase, he grabbed his keys and headed out the door. He instinctively looked at the mirror near his cupboards to check his appearance. "As human as could be", he commented to himself.
Locking his door, he quickly headed for his black Mercedes that was parked in the closest lane near the dorms. One thing Sesshomaru could never understand was why mortals had such a big fuss about automobiles. Many seemed envious of his selected car; it was all too materialistic to the proud youkai.
Getting in and sitting in the comfortable leather seats, he started the engine and sat for a second, noting the graying sky. He then cautiously looked about for any on coming cars, and then pulled out. After leaving campus grounds, he turned on the radio; he liked to have some sound when he drove. "I wonder what time our company will become over."
While pondering aloud about humans and what not, a sudden downpour came on, obscuring even his superior eyesight. Not long before he could turn the windshield wipers on, but not even that seemed to help. "Curse my ill luck." He leaned foreword and considerably slowed down.
After driving about and hour and a half, the young youkai was near his hometown, but the weather was not letting up at all, if anything, it was getting worse. Cars were clustered together, following each other at slow speeds, relying on the person in front of them to lead there way. Sesshomaru was second in line of one of these clusters, a bit frustrated about the weather, but put up with it. What could a Sesshomaru do about the weather?
Unfortunately, the occupant in the car behind him was losing their patience. Wanting to speed things up a bit, they treatingly came close to the bumper of black Mercedes that was being so cautious and had been leading them faithfully. This was the way of humans, though, patience ran thin and bad situations became worse.
Sesshomaru gritted his teeth, not exactly in the mood to deal with ill-tempered humans at the moment. He flashed his break lights, trying to signal to the person that he was doing the best he could. But instead, the person rode the silver haired youkai's bumper. At that instant, the car in front slammed on its breaks, causing Sesshomaru to instinctively slam onto his. Sesshomaru knew what was about to happen even before he hit the breaks, the car behind slammed into his car, pushing it just far enough to run into the car in front. Then all the cars behind that started to slam into them.
Taijya just walked in the door when she heard, "Hey, this ain't so bad after all, ya old coot." InuYasha had waited until his father's creation was complete, it he had to admit, and it was one of the best things he had ever tasted, the nasty smell it had also vanished. InuTaisho proudly boasted, "See, I told you and you won't believe me."
Taijya walked into the kitchen, saturated from the nasty weather and surprised to see the house so clean and the table set so elaborately! "You two, I don't know what to say!"
The two guys turned around, just noticing Taijya's presence. InuYasha with a spoon half in his mouth and her darling husband with a smug look on his face. InuYasha's ears perked forward, "Hey mom! How bad is it out there?"
Rolling her grayish brown eyes, she blew at her soaked bangs that were plastered to her face. "Why don't you have a look outside, you lazy bum." InuTaisho held back his chuckle as InuYasha retorted, "Lazy? LAZY!? I WORKED MY ASS TO CLEAN THIS HOUSE OF YOURS!" The teen then smiled playfully to the woman that brought him so much comfort in his tough life.
"Young man, watch your language, that's no way to talk around a lady." His father then pulled at his ears to justify his statement.
"OW! watch it old man, I was just worried about Kikyo and them getting over here in one piece." InuYasha rubbed the tips of his ears in annoyance.
Taijya looked over conforming, "I just called them and they're going to wait a little bit, they said they would come no matter what, but I don't know..."
InuTaisho went over and took the briefcase she had been caring, being a little more sweet than usual, "We'll see what is granted to us." He thought for a second, "What about Sesshomaru? He'll probably be close, better see how he's doing. Maybe he decided to stay in his dorm?"
Worried gray eyes looked from InuYasha to her husband, "Just a second." If one thing worried Taijya the most, it would be the thought of one of her sons, half or not, being in trouble. Whipping out her cell phone and dialing as fast as she could, she then put the phone to her ear.
After a few agonizing rings, the voice mail didn't even come on, the phone just abruptly ceased to ring.
A/N: I know, evil cliffhanger, but it makes things more interesting, ne?
NOW, answers to your reviews:
Kimonolover I'm sorry you don't' like how they are portrayed. I'm kinda weird that way and I happen to be a bit of a Kikyo fan (It would be better if she was the way she was before she died, ne?) so that's how I kind of made her, before she was undead.
Duzzie I'm glad you like it, thanks J
kagome of the western lands glad you loved it, and I'm half done with chapter four (thank the Lord for study halls!)
