It's been a loooong time since I updated. Wow. Sorry! I thought I had updated sooner. I've had a super busy summer and now a really busy school year. Anyways, as I have no more excuses and nothing else to say, really, here's the new (and very short) chapter!
Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha…damn. I don't know. I don't own him. Or the show. The end.
As I have gotten many complaints about writing the Japanese at the end, I will now write it at the beginning! Cos writing it right after the sentence seems awkward and messes with the flow. Also, change in time things are 2 bars! TWO! REMEMBER! That way, maybe it's a little less confusing. Hopefully. If this works, I'll go back and change the other chapters.
VOCAB
Ane! Dou deshita ka? Genki desu ka? Naze denwa shimasendeshita ka : Big sis! (it makes sense in Japanese.) How have you been? Are you healthy? Why haven't you called me?
Guretsuna hitobito yo: silly people. Pretty formal way of saying it too. Lalala
Only 2 things! Wow! I'm tired! Zzzzz…
'New day, here I come! Wow that was corny!' Rin thought to herself as she took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs. She found Kohaku rummaging through the fridge looking for something to eat, which was really nothing new. He seemed to always be looking for food. Of course, he was a growing boy, so maybe that had something to do with it. But he was a little old to be eating the way he was, if he didn't start working on his diet, he might have a heart attack! Of course, that wouldn't happen for a long time, but one can never be too sure of those things, they happen at—
"Um, Rin? Are you okay?" Rin must have been analyzing Kohaku's eating habits a bit too long, for he had somehow gotten over to her and was now waving a slice of pizza in front of her face without her noticing.
She shook herself out of her reverie and muttered a faint "uh huh" before grabbing the slice from in front of her face and taking a bite out of it.
"Heeey! I was gonna eat that!" Kohaku whined as they both sat down at the counter. She just raised an eyebrow and took another bite.
"'Gonna' being the key word in that. Mine now." Kohaku stared hungrily as Rin slowly ate the pizza. She looked over to him and offered the last piece of crust his way. As he eagerly went to grab it, she took it back and popped it into her mouth, grinning.
"Damn, Rin. That's just cold. Like, Sesshoumaru-cold." Kohaku laughed. Rin's smile faded and her face became rigid and deft of emotion. Kohaku caught onto what he said and quickly tried to amend it, but she had already left. Kohaku sighed 'Sesshoumaru, if I ever find you again, you're gonna have some serious talking to do.'
'Shit. Shit shit shit. Double shit. Shit in different languages shit. Nice going, Kagura, there goes your last ally.' Kagura let her head drop to the bar table and slammed her glass down, signaling she was ready for another drink. As soon as the glass hit the table, the cell phone went off. She blatantly ignored it and slammed her glass down again.
"I think you've had enough for tonight, young lady." The bartender said impatiently. The one night he covers for his employee this happens. After the photographer had taken a picture of a couple making out on the couch, she had taken the film out of her camera, destroyed it, and then proceeded to do what he assumed was an attempt to throw his bar out of business by drinking every ounce of alcohol he had. Yeah, this was definitely not his day.
"I think you should refill my glass before I make you regret it." Kagura replied icily. 'Who does this guy think he is?'
"Oh? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" he asked smartly, snatching the glass from her grip. She growled at him,
"I work for a tabloid, dumbshit. It's my job to make people I don't like look bad. Now, how about that drink." He glared at her for a few seconds, before moving to make her drink.
"I'm only doing this because I'm feeling nice, and if you were anyone else, you would be out of my bar by now, got that?" He turned around, but the girl was gone. He looked down at the drink he had just gotten, murmured, "Oh hell…" and downed it.
"Right…I work for a tabloid. Why the fuck do I work for a tabloid." Kagura groaned. She was starting to feel the effects of her drink, and wandered wearily in between the cars parked in the lot. She stepped out from between a parked jag and an obnoxiously large SUV, just as a car came screeching to a halt no more than two feet in front of her. She put out her hand signaling for him to stop, too tipsy to realize he had already done this. Using the car as a brace, she continued to walk in front of the car, when two hands on her shoulders stopped her.
"I think you need a ride." The hands said. Kagura growled and attempted to wave them off her, but missed entirely.
"I think you need to…go…away…or somesin…"she mumbled, her speech slightly slurred. The hands laughed and guided her towards the passenger seat of the car. She faintly noticed that she was being strapped in, before they headed off again.
"So, what brings you to my humble town, Kagura?" The man asked. Kagura stared at him blankly for a while, before yawning and making herself more comfortable where she sat.
"Eh, none of your business."
"I believe it is my business if it brings Sesshoumaru into my house."
"He's at your house!"
"Of course…Rin wouldn't let him stay anywhere else. It's like a big reunion, really. Rin, Sesshoumaru, Kanna, me…and now you too. What are the chances, hm?"
"Shut up, Haku. You're not "onto" anything. This was just a big…co…coin…it's just a big chance. That's all."
"Even when she's drunk she's trying to be sneaky. I'll remember that in case I decide to attempt to drug you in the future." Kohaku said, smirking at her as he pulled into his driveway. He went around the car and opened her car door, but she made no move to get out. "Kagura, you're not five. Get out of the car like a big girl."
Kagura shook her head.
Kohaku rolled his eyes and frowned leaning down over her to unbuckle her. "And why don't you want to get out?"
"It'll only confuse things. I owe no explanation to anyone."
"I think you do. Sesshoumaru has already explained a little to us, and I think there are some holes to be filled."
"I won't tell you."
"Fine, but you're still coming in. When was the last time you saw your sister?"
This seemed to bring her out of her drunken state a bit, and she brought herself out of the car in a swift motion. "Fine, you win. Lead the way."
Kagura allowed Kohaku to hold her up as they made their way to the living room. As soon as the rest of the group came into view, she quickly stepped away and returned to her usual dignified disposition.
Kanna immediately stood and ran up to Kagura throwing her arms around her. "Ane! Dou deshita ka? Genki desu ka? Naze denwa shimasendeshita ka?" Kagura stumbled back but held the small girl against her, not responding.
"Wait," Rin, who was currently occupying a couch with Sesshoumaru, pointed at the girl who had just entered, "let me get this straight; you're some kind of reporter woman who stalks Sesshoumaru as well as my brother's girlfriend's sister? Anything else?"
"Your father." Kagura answered sarcastically, gratefully taking the chair Kanna had offered her. Rin looked genuinely confused for a moment before Kagura elaborated, "I'm drunk, little girl. Don't try to make sense of my words."
"Kagura said she'd like to help us out a little bit. So Kagura, how bout that? What's the old man up to now?" Kohaku intervened.
"A lot."
"Well, better start talking now, then."
"Mmmm I don't really feel like it."
"Kagura, you--"
"Sister, please? Rin seems like she really needs your help. Please?" Kanna said softly. The room became surprisingly quiet and all eyes were on the pale blonde girl. She didn't seem to notice for a few seconds, but soon became aware of the awkward silence. "What? You thought I couldn't speak English? Guretsuna hitobito yo."
"Er…that was weird." Rin mumbled.
"And out of context." Sesshoumaru added.
"He wants Rin." All eyes were now on Kagura. "Stop with the freaky staring thing. It's unnerving." She straightened up and looked at Sesshoumaru. "Like I said before, it's a long story." She sighed exasperatedly and slumped back.
"Make it shorter." Sesshoumaru countered, narrowing his eyes.
"Fine fine. But as soon as I'm done, someone's going to give up their bed to me. And I get no grief until tomorrow."
"Start talking."
"My father told me when I was very young that I would one day work for another man's son. He had told me that it was just a tradition and that if I cared, I wouldn't protest. I never thought anything about it until a few years ago when my father passed away. That's when I found out about my father's criminal history and blah blah blah. Anyways, Naraku, the man's son and my boss, was involved in a tabloid company, so I work there and do what he tells me to. What he doesn't know, is that I also work for Sesshoumaru, leader of the other leading tabloid company thing. So then, about a month ago, Naraku hired a woman to work at the agency. Nothing too exceptional except for the fact that he seemed to be getting quite taken with her. I usually wouldn't have cared at all, but she started taking over my projects. Projects that I happened to be leaking to a certain man who seemed to have a stick up his ass most of the time."
Here she was interrupted by Rin's gleeful shout of, "that's Sesshoumaru!"
"You know what, I'm having second thoughts on this girl. She's pretty smart."
"Continue."
"Right right, just hold on a second, Rin, have you ever heard of someone by the name of Kikyou Mizuguchi?"
Rin thought for a moment, "Oh! Yes! She was a senior when I was a freshman. We got really close that year, but I haven't talked to her since. Why?"
"That was the lady. As I was saying, this lady, Kikyou, was borderline taking over the company. Or well, my part. So I decided to take action. To make a long story short, I sucked up to Naraku a lot and the lady was history, although Naraku was very upset with this. He never intended to let her go, but in the end there was nothing he could say to make her stay. Well, after all that, I was still stuck with Naraku thinking I was his number one fan. Which is bad on many levels, as you can imagine.
There were, though, a few good things that came from it. His trust in me began to grow, to the point of letting me in on company secrets that I may not have found out about were I in any other position. One of these was his plan to get at Rin."
"But why Rin? What does she matter?" Kohaku asked.
"You still don't get it, do you? Kikyou, Sango, you, Sesshoumaru, all the people he wants to get at, and there's one person that links them all together, Rin."
I believe that a "dun dun duuuun" is necessary.
Anyways, thanks to all my reviewers! I'm not kidding when I say that you guys really do make me write faster! Love to all
Sesshy's dream girl: First of all, thank you for your small compliment on my "stroy". Second of all, thank you for not making an anonymous review when you flamed me. That's somewhat admirable of you. Now, your use of profanity in your comment was most unnecessary and undesirable, especially if you expect me to do something about your request. Now I will say this; I do not write for anyone but myself. I honestly don't care if you read this, or if your friend reads this. In fact, if you don't like it I almost prefer that you don't read it because then it just proves to be a waste of your time, which I certainly don't want. If it so pleases me to write in Chinese, I'll write it in Chinese. If I wish to write it in Hungarian, I'll learn Hungarian and then write it in Hungarian. Also, for the future, if you expect others to write in English, please learn to do the same. For example, I took your comment and did a spell correction. Here is something to use for next time you feel like flaming: "Write in fucking English, God! I think it's a really good story, but if it's not in English I'm not spending the time reading it and suggesting it to my friend
so yeah…remember, ENGLISH!" I hope this proves to be useful to you.
Personification of Fluff: Thank you so much for your comment! I hope this works better? If it doesn't I can try to modify it again. I understand completely, and I'm really glad you pointed this out!
Fluffyrinfanchibideformedthingdefinitely digging the name, by the way. Yeah! Age doesn't matter, although pedofilia isn't cool.
Yrounaaaah! I'm glad you found the story again! I couldn't help but chuckle a little when I read your comment. Around where I'm from, girls are having sex at age twelve, so I guess it's just normal for me and I incorporated that into my story. Not that I live in hickville or anything, people just like to enjoy themselves. A lot. Maybe too much…
InuObsessed o.o: really? I couldn't find any, but then again, I'm insane so that might be a factor…do you think you remember? Or something? Sorry! I don't mean for you to have to go back and look or anything
Animegirl007: hey! Don't get me wrong, yams are wonderful things. Really, they are. Just, not on your every day food item…or maybe they are. I don't know, I'm not making any judgements
Also thanks to SessObsessed, sesslover101, c'fay, bittanybook, ladyrinremix, I LUV Anime O.O, tankbbg, MSparrow29, Chibitsue, Angels Heart 1622, and VcChick! You're all so kind!
Love love
