Yusuke mimicked Surrian's smile, "You don't touch a lady. Not on my watch."
On his other side, Youko (having won the war of the showers) grabbed his other wrist with his extremely long nails, "Oh, my yes. Ladies need to be treated with dignity."
Hiei made a smooth landing on the counter in front of him, blocking Kagome from view. "Because if you treat a lady badly..."
Deep cackling filled the room; like the dry, dead whispering of autumn itself.
"The big, bad Rostov ripper will come to get you," Surrian whispered, eye's morphing into a sick, blood red.
"Or perhaps you'll meet the demons that haunt you," Yusuke said lightly.
"Or the animals that could tear you limb from limb," Youko added, lightly stroking the head of a somewhat more wild and rabies infested Cerberus.
"And sometimes, when you aren't careful, the fire will sneak up on you and burn you to a tiny, insignificant crisp," Hiei finished, hand on the hilt of his infamous sword.
"But trust me, Inuyasha. Any of us would be a lot more merciful than her."
He shouldn't have looked. He shouldn't have turned, he shouldn't have even questioned what she was, what was lurking beneath the shadows.
You don't look at fear. You don't stare into the eyes of insanity, it's something that is the ultimate suicides among other things.
Everyone else looked away.
Surrian, or...as they called her as her human name, cupped his face with her long, cold hands.
Into the boundless pits of Hell he looked as her hair flared up like ravenous ink into the air around them. Waves of cold poured off of her as every window in the house shattered.
"I found you," she purred in a twisted manner as the gates to Malebolge opened beneath him.
"And now that the Rostov ripper has you, you are going to a very, very scary place."
"Kagome, call off your psycho bitch," he yelled, kicking his legs against the skeletons rising up to take him.
Kikyo tried to reach him but Ghost materialized in front of her, "Touch them and I'll snap your neck like a twig."
Of course, arrows were reached for but Ghost only laughed as the points slipped right through her and landed purposelessly on the floor.
"I'm going to dissect you like a pig," Surrian rasped, "cut you up and rebuild you, than cut you again until your pretty little self is no more than a scar."
Kagome was tempted to let her family massacre the two of them...but that wasn't who she was.
"It's ok, Surrian," she called blankly, "let them live, it's fine."
"Alright than," her sister said, dropping the dog flat on his ass, "who wants pie!"
Hiei stomped his foot, "But I wanna kill him!"
"Later, Hiei," the Russian muttered as she passed by, "get him while he sleeps."
Kagome frowned, "Surrian..."
"Sorry, sorry!"
The little Russian bustled off, mumbling something about de-poisoning a pie.
Soren frowned and went to go after her, worried an attempted assassination might occur were he not careful to watch his somewhat murderous bride.
"It'd be lovely if you were to stay for the wedding, "he added to Inuyasha and Kikyo as he hurried by.
Ghost stomped her boot, "No, they can not!"
"Shut up," Neth whined, "I'm trying to watch Maury."
"NO THEY CANNOT STAY," Kagome yelled as her sister came by, carrying a pie with a pair of tongs.
Course, the pie had teeth, literally, and appeared to have already taken a bite out of her.
"Just for that, we're staying," Inuyasha yelled, stepping ten feet to the left as Surrian walked by him.
Kikyo eyed Ghost nervously, "But I don't think-..."
"We're staying!"
Kagome stomped her foot angrily, "Fine!"
"Fine," he yelled back.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"SHUT UP, I'M MISSING MAURY!" Neth immediately got smacked upside the head.
Grumbling, Kagome turned her back on him and went back to fixing drinks so fast it looked like her hands were flying.
"god fucking shit eating flee infested pot sniffing necrophilia loving fluffy eared haven goddamn sword guzzling mutt..." Kagome mumbled as she mixed the drinks.
"Hey, Kagome." Yusuke said as he came up to the bar.
"Ya, ya order your drink and get the fuck away from me."
"How about you get your ass over here and come dance with me."
"I'm kinda working Romeo."
"Get a way from her" Inuyasha growled.
"You know id love to dance with you Yusuke. Surrian can you take over for me?"
"Vie not?" Was her answer.
No one had time to say a word before Yusuke reached over and picked Kagome up and over the bar before sliding her down his body to stand flush against his own. He then leaned down and nipped her on the right side the nape of her neck wile running his demon nails up her sides and back down to rest on her hips.
"I said I'd dance with you, not sleep with you."
"We'll see." came his laughing reply as he slid behind her to lead them to the dance floor.
The next morning everyone was in an oddly pleasant mood.
"Aubrey! Stop playing all that godamn heavy metal and get your pale ass out here!"
"Oh, why," he roared back angrily, "you wanna take a bite out of it you godamn Russian son of a-"
