Chapter 8 Former owners

"Yawn. It's finally weekend" Inu-yasha jawned when waking up by the sun light that came trough the window in his room. It had been two days from the day when he returned to the school. He was happy that the weekend came so he didn't need to worry about what other thought of him.

"Morning" he said and then the ghost girl appeared. She smiled sweetly and he hadn't heard her cry since he had started to believe. She was just about to answer when the door flew open and she dissappeared again.

"No" Inu-yasha shout when Sesshomaru run into the room. He got under his cover waiting for the icecold water to get on him.

Sesshomaru grabbed his cover and pulled him up. "Look" the older one said. "Now I know what happened to the former owners!"

Inu-yasha was long silent. "So you won't give me a shower?" he asked thinking that his older brother was hiding the hose somewhere.

Sesshomaru looked at him. His face went dangerusly dark. "You'll get a shower if you don't come down now!" He gave an evil grin and Inu-yasha sighed.

"Alright I come down, but I want to put some." Inu-yasha couldn't say the rest when Sesshomaru was already pulling him out from his room. The ghost- girl had appeared again and now her face was wholly pink when Inu-yasha were pulled out from the room having only his underwear on.

***In Sesshomaru's floor***

Sesshomaru pulled Inu-yasha after him all the way to his little library. There he forced his little brother to sitt by the table. From beside the wall he took another chair and satt on it himself. He looked across the table at stunned Inu-yasha.

He suddenly noticed his brother's expression to change. Inu-yasha was staring right past Sesshomaru at the ghost-girl. She was looking over Sesshomaru's shoulder just when the older of the brothers turned to look behind him.

Inu-yasha's yawn trobbed when Sesshomaru's head got trough the girls head. The ghost-girl pulled back almost laughing. She did some funny things before Sesshomaru, but ofrcourse he saw nothing.

Sesshomaru turned around again when hearing Inu-yasha to laugh. "What are you laughing, dear brother?" he asked dangerously. Inu-yasha covered his mouth trying not to continue laughing, but the girl was mimitating Sesshomaru's expression on the moment and so he started to laugh again.

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes when Inu-yasha couldn't stop laughing. The girl rolled his eyes as well on the moment and when he started to talk she followed after. "Don't tell me that you see a ghost behind me imitating my moves?!" Sesshomaru kinda asked leaning his elbow on the table.

Inu-yasha stopped laughing after hearing his words and so the ghost-girl as well stopped. "Are you seeng her too?" Inu-yasha asked carefully. There was a long silence after it. Neather one of the brothers moved. Both of them stared at each other and the girl just floated there beside them a finger in her mouth.

"You are even crazier than I thought" Sesshomaru sighed closing his eyes when shaking his head. Inu-yasha sighed of relief. So his wicked brother didn't see her after all. That was some good news. "That wasn't however why I called you. You asked about the former owners yesterday and I found some information."

Inu-yasha got closer beeng real interested. The ghost-girl came right beside him like she also would be sitting on a chair but in reality only floated in the air. "And.?" Inu-yasha asked wanting to know everything. That wouls maybe even help the girl remember something like her name. He can't call her a ghost all the time.

Sesshomaru took some of his notes from between the book bages and started to explane Inu-yasha what he had found "Here used to live a rich family. There lived five children from who the youngest never left this house. alive."

Inu-yasha glanced at the ghost who was also looking at him. Sesshomaru noticed his brother's movement, but still continued. "Cause later the family were cursed all the last names and the name of this mansion are erased from every text. The word became forbidden and the library people doesn't let me look those books where their last name would show."

"Cursed." Inu-yasha muttered and noticed that the ghost was now looking over Sesshomaru's shoulder again.

"In the family belonged father and five children, that I mentioned" Sesshomaru continued glanzing the book and his notes. "The mother had died long ago and three of the children were already having their own families. The oldest of two sons still lived here as well the youngest daughter with their father. They used to be rich, but the father was loosing everything in gambling. The oldest son slowly had to sell peaces of the mansion to pay his father's dephts. He also raced his youngest sister when their father almost never was home."

"One day the youngest daughter fell ill very seriously and to pay the docktor her brother had to sell more and more of the house. The girl about your age or younger didn't want her brother to sell the house. She also talked some strange things like she knew that the death was coming."

Sesshomaru took a smaller book that seemed to be old. "This I found from one of the closets here. It's the oldest son's diary. Here I found something interesting when the youngest was about five or so." Sesshomaru opened a certain page he had marked and read from there "Today happened something strange. my dear little sister had been in the yard picking flowers and having the sun on her face like always. when I were abroashing her she was humming a song our mother used to sing. However. Still having that sun and more sunnier smile on her face she had told me after some talking. 'I won't leave this house alive'."

Sesshomaru went silent and looked slowly at Inu-yasha who looked just past him. There was a long uncomfortable silence. "What happened?" the younger one finally asked.

"The girl died of ilness and never left the house alive" Sesshomaru said now with neutral voice when earlier he had been a bit exited. "Her brother tried to sell the house to pay all the depts, but no one wanted to buy it cause there was always crying to be heard and on that time people believed in ghosts. Finally he decided to just leave the house to be and move himself out from the village and never return again."

Inu-yasha nodded like everything would be already said. "The reason for the furnitures to be still hear is maybe that he couldn't take them with him and I forgot to say that the father had died two years before the girl. No one of the siblings wanted the house anymore so it was left like this." Sesshomaru said. "That is what I think." He shrugged his shoulders when Inu- yasha stood up.

"What is behind that curtain?" the younger of the brother's asked and pointed on a curtain on the wall. He knew well that there wasn't any window.

Sesshomaru stood up silently and walked to the curtain. Then he pulled it down and revealed a beautiful painting of a girl that Inu-yasha immediately recognized. "Who is she?" Inu-yasha asked carefully.

"I believe it's the youngest just before her sickness" Sesshomaru replied. "I found it from one of my rooms."

Inu-yasha looked at it long. Then he slowly glanced at the ghost who was staring the picture with coriousity. The picture was sunny and happy with bright spring colors. The girl in the picture looked like there was nothing in the world wrong and evil didn't exist at all. Inu-yasha smiled slightly when knowing that this was the girl who was floating beside him as a ghost.

"At what time they lived here?" Inu-yasha then asked.

"On the early 19th century I believe" Sesshomaru replied putting some of his book into the bookshelfs in the room.

"Now" Sesshomaru said turning for his brother. "Don't go and say openly of your 'ghost' cause I don't want to be called the brother-of-that-crazy-guy- from-the-high-school."

"So. You don't believe me eather" Inu-yasha sighed.

"Inu-yasha" Sesshomaru said calmly. "You are crazy you know that! I believe that you have heard this hundred of times, but there are no ghosts. Get real idiot!"

Inu-yasha looked down and was silent. Sesshomaru was the one who talked so much of ghosts when coming here. He was the one wanting to see them and he believed in them. atleast that was what Inu-yasha had thought. "And I thought that atleast you believed, Sess."

Sesshomaru looked after Inu-yasha who left the room. Suddenly he felt a ghost like breeze go past him and sighed. He looked at the door of the room and then satt down by the table again.

'I do believe you, Inu' he thought sighing again. 'But how in nine hells could I tell that?'

A/N: One more chapter.Whoa! I'm kinda broud of my self getting so much done of this.

I know that Inu-yasha's and Sesshomaru's relationgship isn't really the same like in the mang/anime, but I wanted to make it like this. They tease each other and woud take their love to the grave, but still deep inside they care for each other. For example if Inu-yasha would get in trouble Sesshomaru would come and help with out thinking twice, but would never admit anything after it. It's the same other way.

Cause of that they are kinda OOC, but ofcourse they are when they aren't exactly the same characters.

I also try not to make any character perfectly bad or good even thought I wouldn't like him/her. This affects all my stories. Only Naraku is always evil in my stories cause I use it only if I need a very evil character. I don't like Kikyo and Kouga, but I don't like to make them baddies in anyway.

Inu-yasha and Kouga are just usually rivals in my fics like in this one and the orginal.

Also. I'm a kag/inu fan so there is one answer for many question asked.

I kinda know how this story goes on but if you have any siggestions you want to give I may use them. ^_^ Also I would like to know what you really think of the story. Everyone sais it's good, but I want to know more. (amd I crazy or what) Of the spelling you don't need to say anything (ofcourse you can if you want) cause I know there are mistakes and I'll taking care of that later.

Now. This can be the last chapter I put into the net pefore I leave, but I still hope I have time to write and put more.

Thanks!
