Chapter 6: I didn't mean to!
Lithuania looked at Elvéwona.
"You shrunk the king." She said disbelievingly.
"Go ahead and take a look if you don't believe me." Elvéwona said in near hysterics.
"Okay…"
Lithuania poked her head out the door, looked around the first kitchen, and almost laughed at the sight before her. There sat the 'tiny king' on a huge chair, swinging his feet impatiently. At first she thought it was Inuyasha but the certain ways he would look and the inpatient sighs that were coming from the child…was a little too much like Tashio for her liking. She turned back to Elvéwona and told her.
"Gees Elvéwona, you really did it this time!"
"Oh thank you for being so supportive!"
"I'm sorry but what are we going to do…"
"We should tell him."
"Right."
Both of them full with hope that he wouldn't kill them, walked out to see that 'Tashio' had left.
"Oh, well let Izayoi deal with it."
"Yeah…your right."
"There your safe and sound now." Sesshomaru told his little pet snake.
It just seemed to hiss back in gratitude. Walking back to his room he heard a whole bunch of sounds coming from the kitchen. He was curious as to what was going on this late at night. That's when he caught his little brother running out of the kitchens with his father's clothing. He only knew that it was his dads clothing because he too had once put his father's clothes on but this…this was just too pitiful. Swiftly walking over to where his brother was hiding he didn't even bother to pick Inuyasha up. Instead he reached down and grabbed the overgrown pant leg instead. He dragged his brother across the floor.
Naraku too had heard all of the commotion. However the sweet little devious spider came out only to see Inuyasha being dragged by his older brother. 'That actually looks fun!' he thought to himself. 'What can I use?' that's when he spotted his silk sheet that was part of the never ending covers on his bead. He grabbed it up and looked out the hall and made sure no one was there besides Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. He then did a running start and then jumped on the silk sheet and slid across the hallway not watching that he was near the steps. Of course Inuyasha only has to see the part were he is going downstairs on the sheet.
"Aw I wanna do that! Nissan look! Lets do that!"
"Lets not Inuyasha father and Izayoi are…" he lost trail of thought as his childish side began to come out watching Naraku have so much fun made him want to join him.
"Ok…but just for a little while ok Inuyasha? After this is bedtime!"
"Ok!"
So now, all three of them were kind of racing, or seeing who could go the longest with just one push. Naraku not being as nimble, agile, or light as Sesshomaru and Inuyasha saw the refills for the oil lamps. He quietly went over to the oils and soaked his sheet in it so he could go even faster then Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. He began to weave intricate patterns of oil overlapping one another. He didn't realize he had made such a trail. That was until it all went wrong.
He was having a good o'l time sliding this way and that, that he didn't realize which tables he was bumping that was until he climbed the stairs and slid down that hallway. He sped to the other side and bumped hard into the table making the candle tip over…falling…right…on…his…oil…soaked bed sheet. Naraku go off in just enough time. However, he couldn't stop the trail of fire that was now going following his pattern. Inuyasha was on one of the lines and was tackled by Sesshomaru in just enough time to be able to get the pup out of harms way. Before anyone knew it the whole hall was on fire.
And of course Tashio decided to come in right at that moment. He thought he was delusional at first, coming back to rings and patterns of fire all over his white marble floor. He knew who did this. He didn't have to ask. He didn't even want to know exactly how they did it. All he knew was one thing
"BOYS!" He roared with all of his might. The whole plates of the earth began to shake.
Each child looked up and saw the angry dogyoukia lord and went an undoubtedly unnatural shade of white. They tried to run away but the fire was blocking them in. It was a little awkward how Naraku managed to make a perfect circle and him and Inuyasha were in it. Inuyasha was hysterical.
"WERE GONNA DIE! SESSHY WERE GONNA DIE!" he sobbed into his older brother's arm.
"One way or another Inuyasha we will die…just hopefully not today."
"WERE TRAPPED…WERE GONNA DIE!" Inuyasha kept on saying in a over dramatic voice.
"Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru said through clenched teeth. Sniffling he looked up at his big brother.
"What Sesshy?"
"Look, father already has people putting out the fire that someone mysteriously started."
"I think it was somebody who wanted to kill us…" Inuyasha said. He didn't realize that one of the guards heard him.
"I think the kids right!" he said aloud to companions.
"I think someone started this fire to try and kill the princes!"
"Yeah!" everyone else agreed with him. They didn't realize that Tashio thought that he would help with putting it out though. In fact they thought that he had retired to his chambers like lady Izayoi had. All that they saw was the rear end of somebody going through the storage closet. The guard pointed to where Tashio was.
"There he is!" not realizing that it was their lord, they quickly shut the door locking Tashio inside.
"What! Let me out his instance! I swear if you don't you'll regret it! LET ME OUT!" Tashio's voice was muffled due to the door's thickness.
Inuyasha knew that voice anywhere though. He stood there staring at the door wide eyed. He couldn't believe that they had just did that to his daddy. He knew that his brother was in a state of mind that he would soon grow out of, that all Sesshomaru knew right now was: protect little brother, stay alive, and hurt whoever did this. He just hoped that he didn't hear about the culprit…
"Prince Sesshomaru!" one of the guards sons came bouncing over to Sesshomaru. They were friends after all.
"Yes, what is it Seth?"
"My dad said that they caught whoever did this…would you like me to take you there?"
"Um…" he said hesitantly while looking down at Inuyasha. He mistook Inuyasha's shock for fear. He kneeled down in front of him.
"Don't worry little brother. I'll get him." he said a little too menacingly for his age.
"Nissan don't …."
"I told you not to worry."
"But…" he trailed off. Kuso! Why did Sesshomaru have to immature this time? He was like an adult any other…besides the pranks and all…
Sesshomaru walked over to Seth's father and looked at him. He had someone to protect right now and that want stopping him. He had to protect his baby brother. He said with forced words
"Where's he at?"
"In there my prince but…" he couldn't finish what he was saying. Little prince Sesshomaru quickly made his way toward the closet.
Tashio had given up and gone quiet. He had heard one of his son's voices. He wasn't too sure though as too which one it was. He heard the door opened, all he saw was a little bit of light then a clawed hand going straight to the forehead. Then everything went black.
What had happened:
Sesshomaru made his way toward the closet. He was actually scared but he would dare not show it! He had to be strong for Inuyasha, his father, lady Izayoi, and Naraku! 'Where is he by the way?' he asked to himself. Grabbing the door's handle, he quickly pulled it open and thrusted his hand foreword with all of his might. It was only when his fist made the connection with the 'culprit' that he realized it was his father…
Everyone in the hall had gasped, even Sesshomaru. Inuyasha didn't though. He knew it was coming! But did Sesshomaru ever listen to him? NO! He had to go on and be stubborn like usual. He shook his head. A thought hit him.
"I know what to do!" everyone looked at the young hanyou. Sesshomaru turned to his brother with a white face and said
"I'm glad you do, because as soon as he wakes up…" he shuddered at the thought.
"Um I'll need…. this!" he said as he got a bucket of water that had been used for putting out the fire which was by the way token care of. He quickly dumped the water on his father and everyone watched with silent hope that he would wake.
Tashio's head felt foggy. He opened his eyes to see about eight pairs staring back at him. This made him sit straight up. He looked around at everybody and then at his two sons who were kneeling in front of them. He growled and finally said
"Who hit me?"
Every one responded at once for an explanation. He held up his hand and they all fell silent.
"I ask again. Who hit me?"
"I did sir." Sesshomaru said looking at the floor.
"That's twice in one day Sesshomaru." He said with a calm voice.
"I know! I'm really sorry! If I'd known it was you then I wouldn't have hit you! I am sorry milord." Remembering that his father was a king and he was after all in front of his subjects.
"Still Sesshomaru, twice in one day?"
"I told you I didn't know it was you…"
"I did!" Inuyasha said
"You did?" Tashio said while giving him a questionable look.
"Yes daddy. I tried to stop Sesshomaru but he wouldn't listen to me! I could only get one word out."
Tashio muttered something under his breath like "just like his mother" but Inuyasha was too busy looking around the palace for Naraku. He found him huddled under a table with his arms covering his head. While Tashio kept on talking to Sesshomaru he quietly made his way over towards Naraku. He bent down and looked at him and smiled. Naraku was too scared to do anything but stare.
"What's wrong buddy?"
"I am the one who started the fire…but it was an accident!"
"How did you start it?" Tashio asked from across the room.
Walking over with Sesshomaru right on his tail (literally). Naraku looked up and just noticed how incredibly tall Inu no Tashio was. He cowered back against the wall. Tashio seeing this; bent down so he was on his knees. Naraku thought it was safe to come out. He then proceeded to tell Tashio the whole story. At the end, Tashio had actually had a few laughs. That is when he noticed his sons clothing…
"Inuyasha…what are you doing?"
"I am playing with Sesshy's tail, why?"
"No, you're wearing my clothes."
"Oh! Uh-oh!" he said hiding behind his brother. He heard some of the guard's chuckle and said.
"So that's what Elvéwona meant by saying she 'shrunk the king'? It all makes sense now."
"What happened?" Tashio asked. You really couldn't blame him. Two blows to the head in one day will do that to an already dense person.
Tashio was now informed of everything. Everything seemed to fit together in one big puzzle now solved. However, he was missing just one more piece of information. Sniffing the air he asked:
"Naraku, where did you put the sheet that was soaked in oil?"
"I ended up kicking it into a room."
"Which room?"
"The room right next to the table." All of them looked besides Sesshomaru. His pupils went really little, he already knew the answer.
"Uh-Oh!" Inuyasha said for the second or third time within the last fifteen minutes.
"Oh, my he threw it into Sesshomaru's bedroom…" Tashio said while getting up. However things got really hectic then. Inuyasha had found a knot in Sesshomaru's tail, he was surprise that he was letting him touch it, however he had caused his older brother pain in his tail…bad thing to do. Tashio in the process of getting up ended up stepping on the tail too.
This was too much for the little ill tempered pup. Too much at once. He had just gotten a new bed but Naraku ended up throwing his burning sheet on his bed, the guards around him rushed to put it out. Inuyasha had found a knot in his tail…there were NEVER knots in his tail…plus his dad just stepped on it too. Yanking it out from underneath the foot and the hands he looked at his tail. It was broken at the bottom due to his dad's weight and had a little bold spot from Inuyasha's 'knot'. He growled really low and looked at all three of them with, red eyes flashing. Inuyasha afraid that he would never see another day, Naraku afraid that his best friend was going to rip him to shreds, and Tashio afraid that his son was gonna knock him again. All three of them at the same time with worried expressions said
"I didn't mean to!"
