A/N: Hello my pretties! Sorry for not updating in almost a week… I had school stuff and things like that, so it was hard for me to do all this stuff. Anyway… this chapter isn't as humorous as the other one's but there is no need to worry, because the next chapter should be the most hilarious one I have ever written! Anyway, enjoy this story! (Reviewers: please do not flame me on Inuyasha getting better that fast, he's half demon, for god's sake!) Anyway… I skipped most of the party, since Inuyasha was out cold for some time. Who wants to read like six chapters of what happened in one stinking party anyway? So please enjoy my little lollipops:))))))
Chapter 5: The Dinner Party (Part II)
He stood in darkness for a while trying to decipher what was going on. "Hello?" He called out to no one in particular, "Anyone there?" The only response Inuyasha got out of the darkness was silence. He wondered then if he were dead, after all, he had read hundreds and hundreds of books based on psychology and near-death experiences (books his mother called rubbish). Some of them said that death was really nothing to fear and that it simply was floating around in the dark before the memories came swimming over to you like a slide show or a video clip. Inuyasha frowned. He did not see any goddamn video clips or slides of his life. Huffing to himself about finally being left alone, Inuyasha started walking. He continued to walk in one direction heading nowhere in particular until he saw a beam of light.
Hmm… wonder what that is… He mused to himself as he ran towards that direction before yelling out, "Hey!" The light seemed to grow brighter and brighter as he got closer and soon he had left the darkness behind him and was now surrounded in a bath of white light, blinding white light; a flash of darkness. Then another. Then slowly blurry images began to from around him. He blinked again, was he up in heaven or something? Blink, blink…
The blurry figure sharpened until he was able to recognize it… "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" Inuyasha screamed leaping up. He thumped his head against the other person's head, the head happened to belong to Inutaisho.
"Welcome to heaven, my pretty little sunshine!" He boomed. Inuyasha groaned, so he wasn't dead. For a second he didn't want to die, but now, being harassed by his father, he wished he was back in the blackness.
"How hilarious…" He muttered dryly to his father who beamed down at him. "What? Why are you smiling?"
"For no reason, just to annoy you!"
"Well, dad, you just succeeded."
"I see you are now fine again! Just in time for the big dinner bash!" Inutaisho quipped standing up and humming around as he danced around the room. The room came back into focus and he realized that he was lying buck naked in bed, in a guest bed. Inutaisho was spinning around the room on his toes and was wearing… my, did those look like bright yellow, glitzy fairy wings for a six-year-old? And just what on earth was Inutaisho doing holding onto a plastic rod with a crudely made, silver foil star? As if he could read people's minds, Inutaisho hummed happily, "I am your guardian angel, my son! Your fairy god father!"
"Guardian angel?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically sitting up in bed and crossing his arms across his chest, "I thought they had those shitty bird wings or whatever. What the heck are you doing in a child's fairy wing?"
"Woops, wrong word! Anyway… hurry, hurry, get dressed. You've been sleeping for an hour. In the mean time, Dan so kindly got a maid to dry clean your tux! Isn't it spanking?" In a florish, Inutaisho flashed the growling CEO his tux before tossing it at him. Then he spun out of the room. Only this time, he looked more like a tornado than a hairy giddy father or whatever the hell Inutaisho was talking about. Speaking of rationality… Inuyasha grumbled as he got into his tux.
Once fully spruced up, Inuyasha stomped down the stairs that were all too familiar thanks to his many childhood visits to the Filander's estate. He stalked across the marble floor and past the trickle of the modernized indoor waterfall towards the dining hall, remembering some of his childhood along the way. He remembered when the Higurashis and the Welshes came over. Nina and Sesshoumaru were too vain to do anything else except for scowl and Souta (Kagome's younger brother who was now sixteen) was too young. Inuyasha remembered cruelly splashing Kagome in cake batter. This was the very hall they had run across with Kagome's tiny fingers curled up as if she were a youkai as she chased the maliciously laughing Inuyasha.
He smirked. That was the best moment he ever had of his childhood. Of course Izayoi didn't let this go unnoticed and spanked him beyond words. She had dragged him around the exact same corner that led to the dining room. And from that corner, he remembered the tiny smirk Kagome wore as she peeked around the corner to watch Inuyasha's torture.
Snorting: "KEH!" Inuyasha shook his head to rid himself of those memories before fighting the urge to kick the doors open with his foot. When he somehow managed to break his constant habit of kicking open doors (temporarily), Inuyasha coolly glided into the hall taking big strides with his super long legs. Dan Filander sat at the other end of the table with Inutaisho at his right and Izayoi at his left. The guests sat across from each other in man-woman order. Those who had dates sat across from each other and the ones that came stag sat across from any random person of the opposite sex. Damn Filander and his damn man-woman pattern shitdisorder… Inuyasha grumbled to himself before haughtily taking a seat next to Kagome. He really had no choice but to sit there since Kikyou was sitting next to, gag, Sesshoumaru.
With the most polite "excuse me" he could muster, Inuyasha took his seat. Izayoi flashed him a glare and he realized he hadn't tied it up like he had when he first arrived. Oh well, who wanted to have a gargantuan hair tie crushingtheir hair together against their scalp anyway? Obviously, most of the women didn't mind. But that really wasn't of his concern. The plates and glasses were organized in a systematic way, that clearly irked the CEO. What was the point of all these forks, knives and spoons? Spoons would be spoons and forks would be forks. Besides, if Inuyasha hadn't been trained to eat in a sequence like this, he personally wouldn't have been able to distinguish the difference between a salad fork from a steak fork or a lamp chops fork. Damn rich people with their picky eating habits… He thought to himself before smiling as politely as he could. Dan beamed at him in an Inutaisho fashion. That smile must have been their secret handshake or their club trademark or something. All the women around Inuyasha blushed and giggled or gave him a tiny wave. He tossed his head away and coughed lightly in order to hide the loud: "KEH!" he usually snorted when annoyed or when showing that he could have cared less.
Next to Kikyou was Miroku and across from the lecher and next to Inuyasha was Sango, looking radiant… almost unrecognizable, since she was the Inventory Director. The Inventory Director was a very plain woman who liked to wear her hair in one style: a ponytail. Of course, Kagome was worse than her… since he knew her since childhood. When not going out, she was grubbier than himself. Again another flash of a childhood memory passed through his mind. They were in Egypt on vacation and Sesshoumaru had lied to them about magic gold from ancient Egypt hidden inside the flowerbeds of the hotel. He told them that it only appeared at night, and so attempts in daytime proved futile. Once you found it, it was yours forever and no longer vanished, but brought great wealth to whoever got it. Excited, the two of them sneaked out in the cover of the night swearing that one of them would be the victor.
The two of them clawed at the flowers in desperation to find the gold first, and when (miraculously together) they dug about three feet into the ground Kagome hit something hard. Inuyasha had shoved her out of the way claiming that he was going to become the wealthiest kid alive, but Kagome landed a fist in his cheek knocking him off his feet. Before they knew it, they were rolling around in the dirt wildly swinging their fists and gnashing their teeth. They were so intent on fighting that they didn't notice the sun rise nor the horrified gardener who had found them in the middle of the ditch, Kagome sitting on Inuyasha's back and rubbing his face in the dirt while Inuyasha kicked at her shin. By the time Izayoi and Mai (Kagome's mother) came, Inuyasha was strangling Kagome while she had somehow managed to climb up on him and sink her teeth into his ears.
The two mothers screamed in anger and plucked the two already dirty children out of the ditch, Kagome by the waist and Inuyasha by the scruff of his miniature red haori.
Pushing the memories out of his mind, Inuyasha focused on the dinner that had just began Dan Filander had raised his glass for a toast and Inuyasha figured how drunk everyone would be, since there were about forty people in the dining hall. So that would mean forty rounds of toasts… Inuyasha hated alcohol and made a mental note to chuck it under the table. There was no way he was getting himself drunk. Getting drunk were for unfocused, lazy buffoons, staying alert and sharp were for smart, hardworking people like himself.
"I thank all of you for coming to my birthday party! It shall indeed be the most greatest memories in my life!" With that Dan gave Inuyasha a wink before toasting and everyone took a sip. Inuyasha didn't mind a sip, just one, since he did agree that it was rude of him to not drink a toast from the birthday guy himself. The rest, he was going to pretend to sip before tossing it under his table. When everyone had their sip, the dinner started. Now this was something he had always been waiting for: food. He loved food, and although he skipped sleep for work, he could never skip his meals. Unfortunately Dan just had to make this a formal dinner and not a buffet where Inuyasha could stuff himself face-first into the food. He impatiently waited for he plates of food to pass around the table once, and nearly put his elbow up on the table to get into his claw-tapping position when he got intolerant.
Finally, everyone had filled their plates and the feasting began. Again, tedium came upon the usually free-spirited hanyou. He had to cut his meat politely with a fork and knife and chew slowly. WHY? GOD, WHY? WHY A DAMN FORMAL PARTY? He screamed to himself while Kikyou tried to engage herself into a conversation with him. Inuyasha ignored the woman across from him and waited for the perfect moment to splash the rest of his wine under the table on the floor.
Kikyou had given up on trying to talk to him and had now engaged herself in a polite conversation with Sango and Miroku, while Sesshoumaru was speaking with Mrs. Welsh and Kagome with Izayoi. Flicking his golden orbs left and right to see if anyone was paying attention, Inuyasha lifted his wine glass to fake a sip. Once satisfied that no one was looking, he quickly lifted the tablecloth with his foot without looking awkward and poured some wine under the table. That ought to do. Flicking his eyes again, Inuyasha sighed with relief to see that nobody had caught him. Sesshoumaru was starting to look exasperated with Mrs. Welsh and Kagome was still laughing with Izayoi. Kikyou had now flashed Miroku her glare indicating that his hand went to a forbidden place. Sango was now politely speaking to Nina's date and gaining a glare from Nina herself who hypocritically hated it when her man spoke to another girl, when she did the same, only worse, flirted beyond the horizon.
Nina had changed out of her dime-dress into an expensive one that was forced upon her by Charles Welsh. She was one of the people Inuyasha feared the most at dinner parties since she was normally the one who loved to attract attention to her latest victim by screaming out their errors. It was quite a hobby for her. Relieved that he had not caught the bitch's attention, Inuyasha went back to eating.
"Hey Inuyasha…" It was Kagome.
"What?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"You did have a high fever…"
"Well, wretch… I mean, Kagome, I may be half human, but I still have my father's blood running through my veins, which means that pesky little colds can't kill me."
"Darn. I wished you died right then and there." Kagome said dryly while she rolled her eyes at her "friend". Well, the truth said was they were friends, even during the days where they fought each other. After all, they did hang around each other all the time. Sesshoumaru hung out with Nina, although he didn't like it.
"Oh, sorry to burst your bubble, but I didn't die. In fact, I am very alive and well thanks to you and your catfight-starting abilities."
"WHAT? Me start catfights? Since when?"
"You sure as hell are stupid! Remember, before that Nina bitch poured punch over my head in courtesy of my trying to help you?"
"Well, hello! I wasn't the one that strutted over to that vile woman! She strutted over to me! What was I supposed to do anyway? I have every right to stand in this place as you do, you moronic freak!"
"WHAT? YOU WRETCH!"
"OH YEAH?"
"YEAH!"
"TAKE THAT, YOU… YOU… IMPUDENT DOG-BOY!"
"I AM A DOG, YOU IDIOT!"
"I KNOW THAT! THAT WHAT MAKES YOU SUCH A MORON!"
With that, the two of them glared at each other gritting their teeth. Inuyasha, of course, growled at Kagome who flashed her chocolate-brown eyes at him in return. Luckily they weren't yelling so loudly… actually they were. And quite thankfully, if Inuyasha would ever thank her, Nina had managed to choose a new victim for her screaming humiliation scheme: Kikyou. Thus, most of the attention was with Nina who had now proceeded to yell out that Kikyou was a lowly secretary. Kikyou's face had turned red and Charles looked humiliated beyond words while some of the other guests buzzed about what an attitude Nina had.
And in order to get away from Nina's attention, the two of them dropped the subject hastily. Much to Inuyasha's dismay, Nina flashed him a triumphant look that gave him the shivers. Oh god, she was going to start humiliating him again. She smiled evilly before screaming, "I can't believe Inuyasha actually brought a lowly secretary and, not to mention, a human to daddy's friend's dear birthday party. Isn't that such a scam?" She shot Inuyasha a smirk and shifted her gaze to Sesshoumaru, who was on the edge of rolling his eyes as Mrs. Welsh started talking about something. Inuyasha guessed it was about his relationship with Nina and how they ought to get together again. "As for Sesshoumaru," Sesshoumaru's head snapped up and cast it's icy glare at the annoying, vile woman who had straightened herself in her seat in a sickeningly sweet aura of triumph. "He brings another human into the family. Geez, I guess all this human loving thing is hereditary. After all, Inutaisho did lower himself to marry a stupid, low-life human."
That was really too much for Inuyasha. He slammed his fists into the table, making the dinnerware shudder under the force before standing up. His golden eyes flared like fire and danced with fury, "How dare you!" He shouted, now attracting more stares. His eyes flashed red for a moment and for once in her life, Nina actually emitted fear for the hanyou. Before he knew it, "IRON REAVER, SOUL STEALER!" A flash of yellow sliced across the table, leaving nothing but smoke and a huge claw dent in the table. Izayoi hadfainted in horror of her son's attitude, but Inuyasha didn't care. "Mom is not a disgrace to the world, YOU are! And you even venture out to insult my dad? Well let me tell you this, you slut of a bitch, YOU are the disgrace! LOOK at you! Look at the way you dress, the way you act, do you not know that every time you stand up to make a little scene everyone scowls? Do you not know that every time you try to insult someone, people insult you instead? Do you not have a brain or something? Of course you don't because all you live on is the allowance from your parents, men, and material goods! You know, you're just like a kid, FUCKING GROW UP, DAMMIT!"
With a rough push of his chair, Inuyasha stomped out of the room, leaving a flustered Nina behind him. He suddenly stopped and turned around glaring at the woman, "And as for Sesshoumaru and Kagome, the only reason why he ever came out with her was because she is kind, tolerant, polite, and knows when and when not to shut her mouth unlike yourself. Don't you EVER insult Kagome and I won't tolerate you picking on even Sesshoumaru. You know, I'm really disappointed in how little you know about Sesshoumaru especially since he was you fiancé that didn't appear at your pathetic wedding. Who would want to marry a slutty socialite like you anyway? Frankly speaking, you're no different from a prostitute." With that he turned around again and stalked out of the room. He could hear Izayoi apologizing profusely about his "attitude" problem and all this load of crap. Speaking of which, there were two people in that room that really needed an attitude change. Those two people were his cocky older brother Sesshoumaru and that whore Nina. Frankly speaking, Inuyasha thought the two really deserved each other. At least they'd learn how to treat other people properly once they figured out they had exactly the same attitude problem. The only difference between Sesshoumaru and Nina was that Sesshoumaru was scholarly and "polite" in his own twisted sense. Nina, on the other hand was incredibly stupid and down right rude.
Of course Sesshoumaru wasn't very polite when it came to people lower than their status, but at least he ignored them. Huffing to himself about the "politeness" of Sesshoumaru Inuyasha stomped out the dining hall. He definitely couldn't leave the party since it was rude to walk out on someone else's birthday party. Even he had a sense of politeness, although most of the time either Izayoi or Kagome told him that he ought to fix his attitude. Grumbling about wrong people being reprimanded, Inuyasha knew he couldn't go outside since it was too cold, so he went to the only place he could go so the other party guests didn't see him: behind the curtain in the ballroom where Inutaisho usually hung out. Nobody bothered to look behind it. Once when he was a child, Inutaisho and Izayoi brought him along with them to a dance party Dan was throwing. Sesshoumaru was the "goody-goody two shoes" and sat still on a chair in the nursery to read a book, but Inuyasha hated the Nursery room. He liked to read as well, but the pastel blue walls and the yellow and pink and green decorations set him on wit's end.
So Inuyasha decided to spy on the adults. This was when he first met Kagome in person. Of course he had heard a lot about the girl from his parents but never met them. He was about four at the time and was in a very miserable condition, of course he was, since he had been tied to Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had actually willingly done that to him so he didn't cause trouble. Kagome was actually only three when he first met her and Sesshoumaru had been seven and was already acting as if he owned the world, or at least Inuyasha. At first Inuyasha thought they were the same age because she came skipping perfectly into the room. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as the little girl bounced over to the pair. After all, they were the only ones there, provided that Inutaisho had come early.
"Hi! I'm Kagome Higurashi! What's yours?"
Inuyasha scowled and crossed his arms across his chest. "Ew! Get away from me, you'll give me the cooties!" He hoped to make the girl cry.
"Humph! You're mean!" Kagome stuck her tongue out at Inuyasha.
"KEH! Well you're ugly!"
"You're uglier! You have nasty grandpa hair!"
"WHAT!" Inuyasha screeched reaching over to grab a fistful of the little girl's hair. In the process he lifted Sesshoumaru clear off his seat making the miniyoukai glare at him, granted that they had been tied together by Inutaisho in hopes that they would get along (he did it when Izayoi wasn't looking... LOL). "TAKE THAT BACK WRETCH!" He snarled as he grabbed Kagome's hair.
"OWIE! LET GO, DOGGY POO!"
"Make me!"
"Okay!" Kagome swiftly shot her foot at Inuyasha's shin and gave it a sharp kick, forcing him to release her hair. She put on a smirk of triumph before skipping away to play with a bunch of dolls that had been stuffed in the corner and occupied by Dan Filander's only child and daughter: Angela Filander.
"Get back here, wretch!" Inuyasha yelled, baring his milk fangs. He ran towards the two girls dragging Sesshoumaru behind him. Sesshoumaru had a look of exasperation and ran in the other direction forcing Inuyasha with him. "HEY!" Inuyasha shouted as he sank his undeveloped claws into the ground. They made long claw-marks on the wooden floor as Inuyasha desperately tried to go in the other direction of his annoying brother but failed and ended up in the spot they once were. Meanwhile Angela and Kagome simply stared at them for a while. Then they burst into silent girly giggles. Oh how he hated it when Inutaisho tied Sesshoumaru to him, it made him feel like a prisoner!
"It's not like I like to be tied to you, but it's to make sure you don't act dumb." Sesshoumaru said calmly as he flipped a page from his book "Besides, it's father who tied you to me. Personally, I don't care if you fell off the balcony or something. In fact, if you did or drowned in the pool I'd be so much happier. Life would be so much quieter without something like you running around like a headless chicken screaming. What's more, Father says that you have great potential in becoming a co-leader in his job…" Sesshoumaru frowned slightly, wrinkling his brow in confusion, "To be honest, I don't see how an overly energetic moron like you can take over Father's company… you're just too, too stupid, that's all."
"KEH!" With that, Inuyasha clawed at the strip of cloth tied around their waists, but it was futile. So he had no choice but to sit there and scheme. But Inuyasha was a very brilliant child, (quite the contrary to what Sesshoumaru thought of him) and was bursting with ideas I'll show him how smart I really am! Inuyasha thought fuming to himself.. In fact, he was so smart that he was already in grade school. Smirking to himself, Inuyasha knew one thing that would free him from the clutches of his older brother: questions. Not just any old questions, but stupid pointless questions, because that was what Sesshoumaru hated the most. He knew how much his brother hated it when people asked him irrelevant questions, especially those situated towards himself (Sesshoumaru).
"Sesshoumaru?" Inuyasha asked in his annoyingly innocent voice, "Why do you look like a girl?"
"I don't look—"
"Yeah you do, remember that last time we went to buy sneakers with mommy and the saleslady gave you the pink and yellow sneaker with the power puff girls on it?"
"No I do not."
"Yeah you do! You're turning red! AND to add to that, just yesterday when mommy and daddy went to get mommy a dress the weird woman mentioned that they had plenty of neat little ball…"
"Shut up! Just get away from me!"
The smirking little boy with his tiny dog-ears ran off thanking Sesshoumaru for freeing him from his prison. Sesshoumaru let out a frustrated yowl and told him to get lost.
Inuyasha stomped behind the curtain and huffed in the place behind it. It seemed so much smaller than he remembered, yet it was still large enough to hide his adult-sized body well. The longer he sat in the curtain, the hungrier he got and of course the less angrier he got. Sighing to himself Inuyasha wondered why he was always the one that was cursed into situations like this. Life just was unfair for him. Sure… blame the hanyou… Inuyasha growled to himself glaring up at the ceiling as if daring to see the spirits that watched over the people. "Diddya hear that?" He growled out loud softly to the skies. And when he got no reply, he simply muttered, "KEH! Fine, ignore me all you want, you bastards! Ignore me like you always had… damn spirits…" Flattening his ears against his head, Inuyasha sighed.
After politely excusing herself, Kagome ran out of the dining room in search for Inuyasha. He was nowhere to be found and when she asked the car-key keepers, they still had his keys and his car in the lot, so that meant that Inuyasha was still around somewhere, she just wasn't looking hard enough. Kagome sighed out loud. Frankly speaking, when Inuyasha burst out like that she was completely on his side, in fact, even Sesshoumaru was on his side, she saw it in his eyes although he had masked his face up with a hard mask. Kagome racked her mind for all the possible places Inuyasha could have gone, but ended up not remembering anything. Come on Kagome! You should know this place by the back of your hands, you've been here millions of time with mom. Kagome sat on the stairs to think about where Inuyasha could have possibly gone. The only thing that came to her mind were sweet, cute memories…
"Doggy-boy? I'm bored!"
"KEH! That's your problem wretch!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is NOT!"
"Is TOO!"
"IS NOT!"
"IS TOO!
"IS NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT TO INFINITY OF THE INFINTY!"
"IS TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO TO THE INFINTY OF THE UNIVERSE!"
By this time, Kagome and Inuyasha were nose-to-nose glaring each other down. Inuyasha was about seven now and Kagome six. They were tossed in the nursery room once more and hated it. They were old enough to at least stay home with a babysitter. Sesshoumaru was in the corner of the room looking grumpier than ever, neither Inuyasha nor Kagome blamed him. Heck, they'd hate it if they were forced inside a nursery room if they were ten. Sesshoumaru had now averted his gaze from out the window to Inuyasha and Kagome, both ready to smash each other to bits "Do you know why I'm bored, Dog Turd?"
"WHAT?"
"Just answer my question!"
"NO! You have to answer mine!"
"I asked FIRST!"
"Fine! Why?"
"Because of you!" Kagome shouted and poked him in the face. Inuyasha looked dumbfounded and blinked at her confused. "The reason why I'm bored is because of you! You fail to bring funness into my life! You're a boring Dog!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT!"
"ARE TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO, TOO!"
"What do you want me to do anyway? What's there to do to lighten your mood? Go play with Angela!"
"Angela has a cold, you silly dog!"
"Play with Nina then!"
Kagome wrinkled her nose in disgust before screaming, "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I HATE HER! SHE LIKES TO PUT ON FAKE NAIL POLISH AND PLAY MODELS! SHE'S MORE BORING THAN YOU AND SESSHOUMARU PUT TOGETHER!"
"I'm not boring." Came a drafty voice behind them. Sesshoumaru had haughtily jumped off his stool and glided towards them, floating a good three inches off the floor.
"Are too! Right Inuyasha?"
"YAH! YOU'RE BORING! YOU REMIND ME OF NARAKU THE FREAKY BABY!" With that, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her out of the nursery room. "You think I'm boring huh? Wait till you see my secret hideout! From there we can spy on our mommies and daddies!" The very aspect of spying on her parents made Kagome jump up and down with joy and together they ran out of the nursery room, or at least made a leap towards the exit, when Sesshoumaru used his recently formed demonic speed to block them.
"You can't go! Father told me to keep all of you in here!"
"Move, you big oaf! You're so boring that you need to make other people boring too!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"PROVE IT!"
"You're blocking us from having our fun of spying on our mommies and daddies. Of course, you yourself are so boring you probably wouldn't dare to think about what we're going to do! Right Kagome?"
"Yup! Yup!"
Sesshoumaru glared at the two children before him.
"Well, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself to be un-boring. You come with us, and cause all the havoc we're about to cause, or you stay here and put everyone to sleep by blankly staring out the window or reading your stupid Encyclopedia Brown books." Inuyasha took a step back and smirked at his new strategy. Sesshoumaru seemed to be thinking hard. "I knew you were so boring!" Inuyasha yelled jumping up and down with excitement.
"Shut up, whelp! I'm coming too!" With that, Sesshoumaru grabbed Inuyasha's arm and dragged him out of the nursery room, and Inuyasha, who was still holding onto Kagome's wrist dragged Kagome along with him. Sooner or later they stopped in front of the great double doors that led to the ballroom. All of them were too short to reach the knob. Besides, if they entered through the front doors, then they would be noticed. So, Inuyasha, once again taking over beckoned the other two to follow him. He led them to the grand staircase that led up to the bedrooms above. Near the side was a door that was locked. Inuyasha dug his hand into the pockets of his red pants and fished out a paperclip. Both Kagome and Sesshoumaru blinked at him wondering what on earth he was doing. Smirking, Inuyasha unbent the paperclip and inserted it into the lock. After a bit of wiggling and rattling, the soft sound of the lock clicking indicated that the door had been opened.
"WOW! YOU REALLY AREN'T BORING!" Kagome yelled, but Sesshoumaru quickly covered her mouth with his hands and motioned for her to be quiet. Kagome nodded silently as Inuyasha pulled the door open, and the three children wiggled inside what was once a supply room. There was a musty carpet on the floor and nothing else. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes, while Kagome danced around with excitement. Inuyasha bent over and tossed the carpet to the side and it revealed a trap door. Kagome squealed with delight while Sesshoumaru pondered about why he didn't notice things like this before.
Luckily, the trap door wasn't locked, so Inuyasha yanked it open and cold air splashed into the three children's faces. "Ready?"
"Yes!" Kagome hissed with excitement. She had been grabbing onto Sesshoumaru's arm in fright when the cold air hit her, but now she was digging her nails into his arm with excitement. Sesshoumaru tried to release himself from the excited girl's grasp, but it proved to be useless. "Let's go!"
Inuyasha jumped down first and Kagome immediately released Sesshoumaru and jumped in after him without thinking about how far down the ground was. It was not until she was in midair when she let out a small squeak of fight, but that was silenced seconds later when she landed on her bottom square on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha lay beneath her with his arms sticking out in front of his and his eyes were swirling around. A silent whoosh sounded next to them indicating that Sesshoumaru had jumped in after them.
"Get off my back, Wretch!"
"I'm not a wretch, Dog Turd!"
"Whatever. Follow me." Kagome forgot about being angry with Inuyasha and grabbed onto his arm, itching with anticipation, while Sesshoumaru looked around a bit sniffing the air every now and then. Inuyasha simply looked ahead and walked straight without looking around or smelling the air. Obviously, he had been here before. He stopped at an entrance and leaned over to pick up a flash light that had been set up earlier. "Our journey begins here." He said chuckling softly.
"OOOOH! Cool! Will monsters pop up here?"
"No, silly! We just can't see in the darkness… we're going to a secret spot on the other side of this hallway. There, we'd be able to see everything that's going on… EVERYTHING!"
"Foolish boy." Was all Sesshoumaru muttered, "I smell rats."
"WHAT? RATS?" Kagome squealed in fight, immediately hopping on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha, being too young to support Kagome's weight swayed back and forth trying to regain his balance.
"OY! How much do you weigh? You ought to lose weight!"
"Shut up! I hate rats!"
The beam of the flashlight made crazy patterns as Inuyasha continued to sway back and forth until he fell over. Once he fell over, Kagome immediately released him and launched herself onto Sesshoumaru's back, but Sesshoumaru didn't sway since he had gained some demonic powers. But what he did do was try to pry Kagome off his back without much luck. Inuyasha, in the meantime dusted himself off and stood up leading the way. Sesshoumaru had no choice but to follow him with Kagome clinging onto his back.
Then perhaps he was there. Kagome ran over to the ballroom and threw open the doors. She rushed across the great marble floor and up the flights of stairs that led to the area Inutaisho and Izayoi usually hung out along with the four other parents. Kagome stopped in front of the huge tapestry that hung down before her. Hopefully Inuyasha was in there. It had been a while since she had last come to her secret hiding place. Probably the last then she had ever been here was when she was ten. When Inuyasha turned twelve he announced that he was too old for sneaking around the adults and in their journey in the nursery room changed to the pool or the sitting room where they sat together by the fire in the winters to play a game of monopoly.
"Inuyasha?" She called out softly.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha's gruff voice spat from the other side of the tapestry. "… Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, Wretch?"
"Inuyasha, come out for a second, you're too old to go around hiding in our secret hiding place."
"Who said I was hiding?"
"Then what do you call sitting behind a tapestry and not coming out?"
"Well, I responded, didn't I? Isn't that good enough?"
"No. Come out Inuyasha. I need to tell you something."
"Like that would work. Get lost and let me think!"
"Wow! You actually think? Don't you usually rush at things without using your head?"
The tapestry was thrown aside as Inuyasha ran out from it looking angry. He glared at her and Kagome simply smirked. It was too late for her friend to realize that Kagome had tricked him into coming out by poking his weak spot: his temper. Kagome sat at the top of the stairs and patted the vacant spot next to her. "Sit." Inuyasha glared at her and didn't move. "Well, you really are predictable, did you know that?" Kagome asked ignoring the fact that her suggestion was rejected.
"So?" He spat, still not moving.
So… you should really learn to be unpredictable."
"KEH! Why should I care?"
"Suit yourself. You sure you don't want to sit next to me?"
"Whaddya think, Wretch?" By this time, Inuyasha was standing next to her and looking away at the same time, his eyes closed in irritation. "You think I wanna sit next to something like you?"
"Whatever, it's not like you're the one who defended me from that horrible woman in the dining room."
"That's… that's… because I can't stand her, and that's it, and only it!" By this time, Inuyasha was sitting next to her but at a distance, he had crouched down on his heels with his hands on the ground, in the position of a sitting dog. It looked a bit awkward, since Inuyasha was dressed in an expensive tuxedo. "Don't think I did that just for you!"
"Anyway… remember when we were young?"
"No." Inuyasha spat humorlessly, although she knew that he remembered every single episode of funniness they had whenever they were together. He inched away from her before adding gruffly, "Why should I?"
"I think you should… I remember whenyou just entered puberty, Inutaisho had a priestess put a rosary around your neck in order to subdue you. Too bad it came off once you turned eighteen… I really would have loved to say the word."
"Well too bad for you! Since you can't sit me anymore! HAHA!"
"And then there was Sesshoumaru who would always lie to us about magical gold and other stupid things like that!"
"If I hadn't been so damn stupid… no, if you hadn't been so damn stupid then we would have NEVER gone outside to dig up the flower beds and then punch the hell out of each other over a piece of concrete!"
"So you do remember!"
"What? I… well, I only remember the best parts! Such as me biting the heck out of your little Mr. Teddy bear!"
"THAT'S MR. FLUFFY TO YOU, INUYASHA, AND I LOVED THAT DOLL! IT WAS THE ONLY MEMORY I HAD OF DAD, THAT IS IF I DO HAVE MEMORIES OF HIM!"
"Damn teddy bears…" Inuyasha muttered to himself, "Well, it wasn't as satisfying as when I bit the hell out of Sesshoumaru's pelt! HAHA! Don't you remember that? RIGHT before Christmas eve, you and I decided to steal Sesshoumaru's pelt, only we called it Fluffy-thing back then, and I bit the heck out of it until half the fur was gone and you put in oil paint and tied ribbons and bells to it! Then we wrapped it up inside a nice box, and you put: To: Sesshoumaru, from: Inuyasha and his Sidekick. Then he opened it and you should have seen his face!"
"Yeah! I did see his face and then he tore after you while you scampered over the couched and he destroyed nearly everything in the house and both of you got punished severely by your mom. I can't believe Inutaisho was proud of you! I can imagine the lecture Izayoi gave him once she was through with you two!"
"And remember when we were around eight, Nina was flaunting around the pool in her new 'bikini' and then you stuffed ice-cubes down the front of her swim suit, and she went crazy!"
"She was so crazy she didn't even know where she was going and she fell in the pool!"
"And she was a cat demon, so she didn't like water and couldn't swim and ended up thrashing and screaming in the shallow end until we pushed Sesshoumaru in to save her, but he didn't!"
"Yep! He didn't save her! He glared at us and crawled out of the pool, dripping wet in his white and flower-patterned haori, grumbling about annoying siblings! And all the while Nina was screaming her head off saying that she was going to die, when all she needed was to stand up. So you barked at her to just stand up and when she did you pelted her with ice cubes!"
"SO? She deserved it! Besides, the only thing I care about that part was when dad came out and pushed me into the pool and told me to save that bitch."
"You had no choice…"
"No, I didn't have a choice, but once dad was gone, I jumped back in the pool with her and dunked her senseless and locked her dripping wet in Sesshoumaru's room. Then when dad asked me about what had happened I threw the blame on Sesshoumaru AND got away with it!" By this time, the ballroom had filled up with people, but none of the two old friends noticed since they were too busy laughing it off about their past. And they didn't notice a lone figure at the entrance of the ballroom staring at them with intense gold eyes.
The room was abuzz with some people dancing away, someone was at the piano playing a little tune. For a once, it actually seemed pretty normal, until his gold eyes fell on two laughing figures sitting at the top of the stairs. Of course he knew who they were! One was definitely Kagome, since she seemed to stick out just about everywhere and the other was Inuyasha. Both of them had looks of merriment in their eyes and didn't seem to pay attention to anything else but themselves. He growled. Shouldn't Inuyasha be with Kikyou, being dragged about here and there? Obviously, he wasn't since he was up with his date laughing about something. Laughing with Kagome was his job, not his slobbering half-brother who had somehow ridiculously sprouted dog ears atop of his head.
Scowling to himself, Sesshoumaru swiftly turned on his feet only to come face to face with someone that made him regret that he had ever done that. Nina stood behind him, all in splendor and glory even after her attempts to humiliate Inuyasha had backfired. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at her. "Move." Nina pretended that she didn't hear him and sidled up to his shoulder, much like a prostitute. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes slightly, but still retained his hard mask that glared down at the woman in front of him. The moment Nina placed her hand seductively on his shoulder, Sesshoumaru's hand shot out and smacked it away. "Don't touch me." He said curtly, flashing her his scariest glare that would have immediately frozen anyone who saw it.
Unfortunately, Nina seemed unperturbed about it, and continued to sidle up to him, this time passing over his personal space. He was starting to lose his patience. "Bitch," he spat, sounding very much alike to Inuyasha, "You are trying my patience. Get off me."
"Sesshoumaru…" She cooed in her high squeaky voice that rivaled, if not, surpassed Kikyou's own squeaky voice. "Don't you miss me…" He flinched at her voice slightly wanting so bad to clamp his hands over his ears. "I missed you…"
"Well I didn't. Now get off me."
"But I did, and you can't do anything about it!"
"WOMAN!" He thundered, now catching some curious attention from a few people. Once he did, he quieted down, but that didn't mean that he didn't harden his voice, "If you do not release me at once, I will gut you out like a fish."
"Pft! You couldn't possibly do that to me! You know you love me and I love you."
"I will count to ten. If you do not leave me by then, I shall slap you across the face."
"Try me." She cooed yet again, giving him her cheek so he could slap her. Without hesitation, Sesshoumaru raised his hand in the air and brought it down with a hard, slap! Nina was immediately brushed off him and ended up on the floor, eyes wide with disbelief, and a hand on the area Sesshoumaru had slapped her. It was reddening slightly, and would have probably been bruised. Without hesitation, he turned away from her, his hair waving slightly in momentum with his movements, and stalked away from the surprised cat demoness. Nobody seemed to have noticed, it wasn't like they cared either. Nobody cared about the slut, not even Kikyou.
Sesshoumaru made his way towards Kagome and Inuyasha, determined to split them up with his favorite "polite" phrase: move, and also a slight push. He had gone no further than six steps when the two of them stood up. Inuyasha had offered his hand to Kagome for a dance. No way… his brother was too stubborn to get all soft and ask a woman out to dance. What was his brother thinking? Did he manage to fork out his scent and did that just to annoy him. Most likely, since Inuyasha had a knack for pissing him off ever since he could first move, which was, frankly speaking, when he was only two. Forgetting momentarily about dignity and grace, Sesshoumaru dashed across the dance floor past the masses of dancing couples, so much without an "excuse me" or even his favorite word: move. He dashed down the hall in a mad frenzy, not really seeing anything but a blur of confused people. By the time he reached the area where Kagome and his annoying younger brother was, they were gone. Probably dancing the night away like Cinderella and her stupid prince. Scowling again, Sesshoumaru resisted the urge to kick the hand railing with his toe and stalked away. He noticed Nina rushing through the crowd literally kicking people out of her way and quickly turned to go another way, when he suddenly stopped. He turned around slowly and stared for a while at the tapestry that hung innocently before him. That tapestry seemed so familiar, only it's colors seemed richer than before. Had he seen it before in him life? Probably not… then again, why did it seem so familiar?
He took a step towards the tapestry, and heard something strange: wind whistling around as if there was an open end on the other side. Then could this possibly be what he thought it was. His bangs rippled ever so slightly in the wind, so slightly that if he had been human then he wouldn't have noticed it. Quickly surveying the area through the corner of his eyes to see the status of Nina, who had now been blocked by a pair of very fat people… the fat woman that asked to dance with him earlier. He shuddered slightly remembering how much she had stepped on his toes. Nina was too busy yelling at the woman, who had now begun to yell back at her, that she wasn't paying attention to him.
As quickly as he could go, Sesshoumaru jumped up from his spot at the base of the stairs and landed on top of the white sculpture of a naked baby angel and paused. He stared intensely at the wind tapestry. Something was very familiar with it. He didn't know what. He jumped off the statue and landed gracefully in front of the tapestry and pushed it to the side before going in. The light that barely filtered through the tapestry made the area very dark. Then he remembered. This was the spot that Inuyasha had showed him when he was eight. It had been so long ago that he was sure he didn't remember how to open the hidden entrance or locate the door itself. It looked like a blank wall, but he knew it wasn't. Kagome and Inuyasha's scent were all over it, so that meant that they had gone through this entrance.
Suddenly, he remembered. He reached down with a clawed hand and shifted a marble tile that was hidden in the corner of the wall that was sunken slightly. The panel immediately slid open noiselessly. Now he was getting somewhere. Smirking to himself and congratulating himself for being so smart, Sesshoumaru ducked into the darkness following the scent of his brother and Kagome…
"YES!" Inuyasha shouted triumphantly into the night air. "We're finally out of this hell hole!" He raised an arm to pump his fist in the air with excitement, when a dull thud resounded from behind him. He realized that he had dropped Kagome. "Oops, sorry." He said pretending to be careless. Kagome rode on his back as they sneaked into their secret hiding place and swiftly passed the many hallways to find the route that led outside. Inuyasha snorted at the form of the girl behind him while she quickly stood up so the she didn't get grass stains on her dress.
"So? Now what?"
"I go home and do work! What else is there to do in this stupid place anyway? All you do is eat, dance, drink, and talk. How boring can that ever get? Besides, if I stay here I have to pretend to be polite and all that shit, when I'm not. And frankly speaking," He continued cutting Kagome with, "I cannot stand sitting there chewing slowly when my stomach is growling. I like to eat fast and not chew."
"But it's healthy to chew your food before swallowing."
"Whatcha see me as? Human? Okay, I may be half human, but I'm still considered non-human according to those damn weaklings out there! And I've been swallowing my food without chewing for centuries and I ain't dead yet. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home and eat some tasty Chinese takeout food."
"What about me?"
"What about you?"
"WHAT! WHY YOU…"
"No need to heed my half-witted brother's words, I'll take you back. Kagome and Inuyasha whirled around to find themselves facing the familiar voice that used to make them giggle with glee when they were young. Sesshoumaru was standing behind them in all splendor and glory. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as his friend suppressed a giggle.
"Do whatever you want, you cocky bastard, I'm going."
"WAIT!" Kagome shouted, but Inuyasha had already disappeared around the corner towards the parking lot in order to retrieve his car key. Along the way he pulled out his phone and dialed Kikyou's number.
"Kikyou… get out of the party, we're going home."
"Okay!"
Without waiting for a reply, Inuyasha shut his phone. He wasn't in the mood for hearing his temporary date's high-pitched squeals for now. Nonetheless, he still was her date and couldn't leave her. The only good thing about Kikyou was that she obeyed him without an argument, which was very smart of her, or else, Inuyasha would have kicked her in her hindquarters out of the company. By the time he got his car (he shoved the waiter away and told him he would like to drive his own car) and pulled up to the front, Kikyou was waiting for him. He didn't bother to get out of the car to help the secretary in; instead, he rolled the window down and screamed at her to hurry her ass up because he had work to do. Kikyou scampered down the stairs and towards the car. She tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open. Inuyasha growled and started to bang his head against the steering wheel while Kikyou fumbled with the car door. The woman was so much stupider and useless than he had ever thought of her to be. Finally after banging his head repetitively on the steering wheel, Inuyasha snapped his head back up and narrowed his eyes at the woman who continued to fumble with his car door. "Woman," He scowled, "Are you really that stupid enough so that that you don't even know how to open the car door?"
"But Inuyasha…" She whined.
"It's MR. SUZUKI TO YOU, BITCH!" Inuyasha snapped. Kikyou immediately shut up. "Now just open the damn door and don't you dare tell me that it's locked, because I know you're just trying to get me to open the fucking door! Because I'm on to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR PETTY LITTLE WAYS TO GET ME TO DO OH SO GLITTERY LITTLE THINGS FOR YOU! NOW IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS IN THE CAR, I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU BEHIND!"
Kikyou stopped fumbling with the car door and immediately jumped into the car, while Inuyasha let out a whoosh of his breath. Frustrated with Kikyou's annoying antics, Inuyasha slammed his foot down on the accelerator and zipped off as fast as his car could go. Kikyou started screaming her head off, but Inuyasha ignored it. As his car shot forward, his cell phone rang. "Pick up the goddamn phone for me, I'm driving." He said darkly to his now cowering secretary. The trembling woman reached over and answered Inuyasha's phone.
"H-h-hello? This… this… is Inuyasha Suzuki's phone… h-h-he's…"
"Ah! So Inuyasha's driving eh? Pity, he should have stayed longer! Anyway, I'd like to talk to my son."
Upon hearing that, Inuyasha slammed his foot on the brakes and the tires let out an earsplitting screech. Kikyou started screaming, but was cut off when Inuyasha's clawed hand snatched the phone out of her hands. "Shut up, bitch." Was all he said before answering the phone. "What do you want dad?"
"Inuyasha, I don't mean to get hung up about manners and all that junk your mother keeps on… OUCH! Why'd you do that for… oh! Okay, okay, okay! I'm sorry… ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" Inuyasha blinked at his cell phone.
"INUYASHA!" He sighed. Izayoi had gotten on the phone. This was going to be a long conversation and a waste of phone bills. "HOW RUDE COULD YOU POSSIBLY GET? I AM HUMILIATED BY YOUR ACTIONS, NO! I AM DISGUSTED WITH YOUR BEHAVIOR! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF A SON I HAVE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT DINING TABLE WAS? YOU JUST CLAWED IT UP AS IF IT WERE MADE OF LINOLUEM! INUYASHA? INUYASHA! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME OR NOT… SHUT UP INUTAISHO!"
"Yes… yes… I'm listening."
"WELL? EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"
"Look mom, I can't stand Nina for one second and I won't stand her for one second. Be glad I actually managed to stand her for three hours! Besides, the party was already half finished, why should I stay any longer when I've got to go to work tomorrow and I have other reports to look at and edit?"
"Are you telling me that you are not the least bit sorry of what you did to Nina?"
"KEH! Technically, yes. It's not like she was the one who liked to…"
"INUYASHA! YOU WILL NOT USE KEH ON ME!"
Inuyasha cringed slightly as Izayoi babbled on and on about his manners. Izayoi ended up repeating herself and Inuyasha held the phone away from him. He handed it to Kikyou and told her to hang onto it while his mother continued to rant on and on. Heaving a heavy sigh, Inuyasha floored the accelerator again and the car shot forward. Kikyou opened her mouth to scream, but the stressed, workaholic CEO simply clamped his hand over her mouth and shot her a death glare while driving single handedly. Izayoi, oblivious to her son ignoring her ranting, continued to make a big fuss while her son ignored her completely. He even ran ten red lights.
Tapping his finger impatiently on the steering wheel, Sesshoumaru waited for the light to change to green. If there wasn't a police car next to him, he would have gladly ran the red light. Through the corner of his eyes, he watched Kagome reach into her clutch bag and took out ten rubber bands. Humming to herself, she put the rubber bands around her hands and they started fidgeting. Under the dim streetlights, he had to admit that she looked gorgeous as ever. A loud honk and a curse behind him made him snap out of his reverie to notice that the light had just changed. "THE LIGHT'S GREEN! MOVE!" Sesshoumaru was about to open his window and give the guy his scariest glare, but decided he wasn't worth the time and simply drove off.
"Tah-da!" Kagome held up her two hands to reveal that she made a Sesshoumaru face and an Inuyasha face. "Isn't it really good! Now I'm going to make them argue like the always do during one-on-one conferences!" Kagome cleared her throat and wiggled her left fingers around making the Inuyasha head speak: "KEH! That's the stupidest thing I ever heard in my life!" She then made the Sesshoumaru side answer making her voice as low as it could possibly go: "How dare you! This Sesshoumaru never has stupid ideas!" And so it went on. Sesshoumaru was fascinated with the way she was able to make the elastic eyebrows wiggle and frown along with the mouth. This woman was certainly very talented. He forgot he was on the road and watched Kagome make the Inuyasha head leap up and bite the Sesshoumaru head. "TAKE THAT! You better keep your eyes on the road."
"Huh?" Sesshoumaru calmly turned his attention back on the road and swerved out of the path of a gigantic truck in the nick of time. Kagome swayed to the side, but didn't seem to notice. Maybe she was used to reckless driving, since Inuyasha was the master of reckless driving… Kagome sometime rode in his car with him. Kagome hummed an unknown theme song while "Inuyasha" and "Sesshoumaru" started jumping at each other trying to snap each other on their heads with their "jaws". Finally, her little game got out of hand and the elastic bands got tangled into a ball. "Oh well, they both died. Ladies and gentlemen, today's moral of the story is: Sibling Rivalry leads to disastrous consequences!" Sesshoumaru humphed as he drove away towards Kagome's apartment… women… he mentally shook his head. He wondered if Izayoi was screaming at Inuyasha right now. She probably was, and Inuyasha probably got Kikyou to hold his phone.
He snuck another glance at Kagome through the corner of his eyes. She had given up with the rubber band and had stuffed it back into her clutch purse with a heavy sigh. Then she curled up to the side of the car and fell asleep.
"Izayoi… Izayoi… please… you don't need to scream like that!"
"WHAT? Are you on Inuyasha's side then? That behavior in the dining room was completely uncalled for!"
"Yes, but I think the bitch, I mean, Nina deserved it! She insulted us!" Inutaisho immediately shut up when his wife shot him a dirty look. "Okay, okay, I'll shut up!" He squeaked as Izayoi went back to screaming at Inuyasha. Inutaisho rocked back and forth on his heels whistling an innocent tune. Sometimes his wife went a little overboard with manners. Inutaisho was secretly pleased that Inuyasha burst out like that, even if it really was uncalled for. He was about to do the same, even if he knew the consequences very well.
The dinner party was over and they were in the limousine driving back to their home. Inutaisho looked up at the sky and hid his smirk. Tomorrow was Friday and he had a feeling something very interesting and fun would happen… The only thing he needed were a stack of bebe guns, a white board, some forts (possibly the office desks), and a scorekeeper… He decided he would buy a stack of bebe guns from a nearby toy store. He mentally rubbed his hands together with glee and let out a tiny evil snicker. Izayoi's violet eyes flashed momentarily and he immediately snapped his jaw shut. He might as well keep out of his wife's way. There was no one else in the world that could ever calm her down once she was on a roll, not even Inutaisho.
That's all folks! Stay tuned for the next set of craziness that would make everyone pee in their computer chairs from laughing so hard… well, that's a bit gross to talk about, anyway….
Next chapter: CHAPTER SIX: HEADACHES
Events to come:
Bebe gun fight in the office and Inuyasha runs after Kagome in a fit of furry! Sesshoumaru bashes his head against anything near him (including people) just because he found out he likes Kagome… ahem… make that loves… Izayoi makes a huge scene in the middle of Wall Street when she catches Inutaisho doing something he shouldn't (no, he's not cheating on her) and I won't tell you what he did that made her so angry!
