Shadow:-Sniff I miss Sister! I want Sister!
Stripe:- Hay Shady, guess who just showed up?
Sister:- I'm HERE! I have ARRIVED! How are you peoples?
Shadow:- Yay, you're here! I so happy! My friends are here!
InuYasha:- What more of you lot? Don't we guys ever get a break?
Sister:- I'll give you a break all right! Now where's the Sessy person.
Sesshomaru:- You dare to speak of me in such a way, human!
Sister:-Hmmmm, you need your ears pierced. I'll get the needles!
Stripe:- I'll get the fire! Yay! Fire, I like fire! (Makes a mad dash into the house after Sister)
Shadow:- Well, while my friends plan to burn the house down and get everything left covered with blood, here's my latest update! Meanwhile I will be playing with my newest toy- my kangaroo skull! Yay! Hay, where's Sesshomaru gone?
Chapter 5.
All six people entered house and the girls showed the boys to the lounge room. Nashi stopped off in the kitchen to gather the snacks she had prepared for the Girls night in (yes they like throwing small and large parties) and brought them into the lounge room before setting the down on the glass coffee table that was in the centre of the room. InuYasha reached for some of the chips only to be stoped by a low growl from InuTashio. It was clear to all that he wasn't about to let his younger son get what he wanted
Nashi on the other hand was not going to let him be bullied around. Yes, the father had a right to discipline his sons, but to deny the said son from what was being given to him by another was not going to be allowed with her around.
"Oh, for heavens sake! Let him be! I put these down so he could eat them, not sit there and watch them! This is not a diet! Get over it!" Nashi picked up the bowl of chips and shoved them into the hanyou's hands. InuYasha didn't waste any time in getting the treat down his throat.
"You shouldn't try to undermine my authority, girl!" InuTashio growled warningly.
"Ok, one, this is not the Middle Ages, woman… and girls, have every right to speak their mind as men do. Two this is not even your house, it's mine. Therefore, when I say he can have chips and other junk food, he can have it. As long as he shares around." Nashi glared at InuYasha, how stoped, looked at Nashi for a second before handing the bowl of chips off to his brother. Sesshomaru glared down at the offered bowl.
While Nashi was in a staring contest with InuTashio, Sesshomaru stated in a voice that would have been disgusted if it held emotion –"I do not eat human food."
Without breaking eye contact with InuTashio, Nashi shot back calmly, "You ate my warp, didn't you?"
"That was forced upon me." Came the icy reply.
"Precisely. Now eat it before I shove it down your throat." Nashi continues on staring into the golden amber eyes of InuTashio for a few more moments before a look of smug joy crossed her face and she pointed a finger in InuTashio's face.
"Ha! You blinked! I win!" Standing up, Nashi moved over to the stereo, played around with a few buttons before selecting a CD and pressing play. Music boomed out of the sound speakers as Nashi nodded her head in time with the beat. Seeing that Nicky had picked up the bowl of chocolate, Nashi decided to play her favourite game before getting down to business- Steal the Chocolate
Snatching bowl out of Nicky hands Nashi yelled a triumphant- "Ha ah!"- before popping one of the pieces of the treat into her mouth. The other two girls knew the game and caught on instantly, while the other three stared at her blankly.
Zanda jumped up and stole the bowl of chocolate from Nashi with a "Ha ah!" of her own while Nashi shouted "Oi!"
Zanda did a sharp twirl to prevent having the bowl stolen from her by a giggling Nicky and quickly ate another piece of chocolate.
"What the hell are you doing? And what's that horrible noise?" InuYasha demanded.
""It's a game. When you steal the bowl you have to shout 'Ha ah!' and eat a piece of chocolate. When it gets stolen you shout 'Oi!' to tell everyone that you no longer have it. The idea of the game is to eat as many pieces of chocolate as possible." Nashi answered while trying to get the bowl of chocolate.
"And don't you dare dis me beats boy!" Zanda added. The three youkai continued to stare at the three very strange girls before two of them decided to join in (I don't think I need to tell you who stayed on the couch like a stick in the mud and watched with a bord expression on his face)
By the time they were down to the last piece of chocolate, they all had chocolate smeared over their faces and all had a had on the bowl while arguing madly over who would get the last piece of the now all round (Sesshomaru doesn't count for this one and I'm not including Raman) favourite treat.
"Wait a sec, who hasn't had any yet?" Zanda questioned with a sly smile.
InuYasha stared hat her blankly while wondering if he should use his youkai strength to gain the upper hand, since both he and his father was holding back. Then it dawned on him who Zanda meant. With a sly smile of his own he nodded towards the direction of his brother of everyone got the idea. InuTashio gave his son a disapproving look before breaking out into a smile of his own.
Letting go of the bowl, InuTashio leapt over the heads of the other two players and successfully pined his elder son to the couch before he had the chance to avoid the attack.
"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru hissed at his father.
"Having you join in our fun game, son." Was the cheerful reply.
"What! You are insane!" Sesshomaru struggled uselessly in his father's grip.
Meanwhile the others had forgotten the fight over the last piece of chocolate and decided that it was in fact better to give it to Sesshomaru, since he didn't want it and it would make a great show in forcing it down his throat.
"Get off me!" Sesshomaru cried angrily, trying his best to free himself from what was going to happen to him. This was not something he was willing to let happen.
The others quickly got over the idea of simply watching and decided to join in. Nicky sat on the couch next to Sesshomaru and popped her elbows up on his chest with the piece of chocolate in one hand. Sesshomaru shot her a look that promised death. Zanda happily sat herself down in his lap and started to play with his fluffy boa thingy while Nashi did a handstand on the back of the couch and landed beside InuTashio to help him to hold Sesshomaru's head still. InuYasha just stood over him looking very smug.
"Come on, Sessy." Nicky asked pleadingly which got her another death glare for her new nickname for him. "You know you want to."
"I do not. Get away from me human, otherwise I will have to kill you." Sesshomaru threaten Nicky.
"Hay, that's my job! And there is to be no killing people in the house, I don't want to be cleaning up blood off the floor. It's a pain in the ass. Now hurry up in feed it to him!" Nashi gave Sesshomaru's hair a sharp tug to cause him to open his mouth in protest. Nicky took her chance and shoved the piece of chocolate down his throat. With a muffled cry of protest, Sesshomaru was forced to eat the chocolate.
Much to everyone's amusement.
"Oh! That reminds me!" Nicky looked around at the three males in the room. "Let's see. You're in red, so it can't be you, you've got your hair up in a ponytail, so it can't be you either, so that only leaves….. YOU! You stole my lacy UNDIES!" All went silent after what Nicky declared until the other two girls started to laugh again. Meanwhile InuTashio glared at his eldest son and InuYasha's jaw dropped.
"Sesshomaru, care to explain?" InuTashio gave his a suspicious look before grabbing Nicky by the back of her shirt and pulling her out of harm's way (A.K.A Sesshomaru's claws) and holding her up a two foot up off the ground to his side.
"No, I do not care to explain, since I would never have been in there in the first place if you hadn't ordered me to." Sesshomaru gave his father a look that told him that Sesshomaru was blaming his father for the entire incident.
'Yeah, why are you guys trying to get dirt on us anyway? Stealing fake diaries and girl's lacy underwear is not very good dirt collecting, ya know." Zanda stated causally while settling herself down on the other end of the couch.
"What would make you say that?" InuTashio tried to play innocent. Nashi, Zanda and Nicky gave him a flat looks.
"Please don't insult our intelligence. We're insane, not stupid. We're DT girls, you don't survive as long as we do without knowing when people are trying to get dirt on you. My guess is that you are planning to blackmail us, or as I like to put it- persuade. Now out with it! What do you want?" Nashi settled herself comfortable on the overstuffed chair and waited for him to start. Her sisters followed her example (well Zanda did anyway, Nicky was still two feet off the ground) and made themselves comfortable.
"Well, might as well tell them. We need help-" InuYasha didn't get much feather then that since he was cut off by his father hissing his name. "What? They'll have to be told at some point of time, why not now when they ask? There's a little thing called trust that needs to be addressed here." InuYasha folded his arms and waited for the response.
"Since when where you one to trust, brother?' Sesshomaru seemed to have recovered enough from his first encounter with chocolate to make a shot at his younger brother.
"Since I meet a miko named Kagome." The statement was plain, simple and straight forward, like it was meant to explain everything.
"Fine. The reason we were trying to gather information on you three was in case you originally don't agree to help us with setting things right. See, when we were trapped inside the barrier we were sent about, I believe, four hundred years into the future. Over the past century we slow have found that a great evil that my sons was in the process of dealing with gain far too much power in about the fifty or so year after we left." InuTashio still hadn't put Nicky down but clearly wasn't planning to change his position now that he had started. Pausing momentarily, he continued. "After that the humans somehow gain the upper hand and forced the youkai race into hiding. That said, the evil was also forced into hiding along with the rest of the youkai race. We don't know what became of him, but we do know that he has regain power in the last fifty year, but in a less obvious way."
"Sort of the other side of the law. It's there just not really recorded like everything else on the right side of the so-called law. Yeah, we deal with that a lot back in New York." Nicky cut in.
"New York?" InuTashio questioned.
"The city where we mostly grew up." Zanda provided.
"Right, as I was saying, the evil continues his reign of power most due to these jewel shards."
This time InuYasha interrupted. "The
jewel shards were what I was collecting before we got stuck in here.
A shard of the jewel increase the power of a demon and human alike,
hence it was always wanted. I don't think he ever got all the
shards and completed the jewel, just had enough to keep him in
power."
InuTashio picked where InuYasha left off.
"We need to be able to leave the barrier to undo the damage done in our absence."
"And how do you plan to undo the damage? The way I see it, there's no way you could possible completely beat him, since he's properly gone international." Nashi cut in.
"By going to the past and preventing us from being trapped in the barrier. InuYasha knows of a well that will hopefully enable all of us to be able to get five hundred years into the past." InuTashio finished off
"So you need someone, or some ones, who are able to leave the barrier to find out how to break it, since you don't. And you were planning to gather dirt on us as back up. Sheesh, you must be desperate." Nicky said from her position up in the air.
"Well, that said, let's vote, my girls. Are we going to help them, all in favour say yo. Yo." Nashi sat back and waited for the quick responses.
"Yo"
"Yo."
"Well, that's settled, and that only leaves one more matter before we get to the next part."
"And what would that be, human?" Sesshomaru asked.
"You are planning to use the same rooms you did before we came right?" Nods all round. "Good, breakfast is at 7, you can get your own lunch if I don't feel like making it, and dinner is at 6. You do not enter other people's room, principally us girl's rooms," A cold look to Sesshomaru, "with out permission. Trust me- that will not end well. And don't think that just because we're not there, we won't know about it. We're female, we have our ways." It could just be heard by the girls a muttered "And don't I know it" from InuTashio which only got annoyed looks from his sons.
"Further more, all dirty cloths are to be put in the dirty washing basket that's in the bathroom, I will not under any circumstance be play –Find-the-dirty-cloths in people's rooms. Is that clear? That's all until I can think up any more other pet hates, 'k?" There was nods all round, so Nashi got up and went to get everything all set.
InuYasha looked around the room. Nicky was only now being put down on the ground, Zanda had moved off Sesshomaru and was now playing around with the small thin box-like thing's that he remembered as DVD's or CD's cases, he couldn't remember which. His father was settling himself awkwardly down on the western style couch.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Zanda left the room dashed to where her room would have been. She returned a few minutes later hold a heart shaped silver pendent that had a darken jewel set into it. Zanda sat herself down on the floor next to Nicky and started to fiddle with the pendent.
"What's that?" Nicky asked over her shoulder. Zanda glanced over her shoulder at her sister with a smile.
"I got this the last time I was in Germany. According to legend it's suppose to hold the spirit of a maid that was murdered while wearing this pendent in the 18th century. If you can get it to open then the spirit would be set free. I haven't figured out how to get it open, so every so often I just pick it up and start toying with it." Zanda turned her attention back to the pendent just as Nashi walked back into the room with another bowl of chocolate, more cans of dink and chip, plus- of corse, the popcorn.
"I doubt that a maid would have own anything of that value." InuTashio pointed out.
"That's right. The pendent was a gift from her lady because of an incident concerning the lady's son. At least that is what my research has led me to believe." Zanda continued her toying without bothering to looking up.
"Right, what are we going to watch tonight? Pirates of the Caribbean or Ella Enchanted?" Nashi turned to her sisters only to hear a clicking noise. "Wha-?" Next thing the room was filled with winds that pulled this was and that, finally forcing Nashi to take a seat or be blown away.
A/N:- I'm going to use to show that someone is speaking in German and it's been translated for the benefit of any readers who don't understand German (that and the fact I don't either)
A voice could be heard in the wind as it whipped past people's faces.
Yes! I'm free. After all the bloody years, I'm free!
"What the-? Who the hell are you!" InuYasha shouted over the wind. Instantly the wind died down and the spirit settled to floating in the middle of the room. She was a strange thing to see floating in the middle of the room, her shoulder length blond hair hand neatly in soft curls around her head, a sweet cheery face housing silvery grey eyes. Her long white dress was simple enough except low-neck line and wide dangling sleeves. The dress went long past her feet, clinging to every fine curve on her body. She looked down to InuYasha with an odd look that flashed over face.
Pardon?
Shadow:- I think I will leave it there. I want to play some more with my skull.
InuYasha:- What! You can't! What happens next!
Sister:- Well you'll have to wait until the next update, wont you? BTW, have you seen Sessy? I'm about to pierce his ears!
Stripe:- I have FIRE!
InuYasha:- Why do you have fire? Gimme that!
Stripe:- Hay Meanie! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
InuTashio:- Can't you children play nicely? And have any of you seen Sesshomaru?
Sister:- Yeah, where is he, I kinda need him. I've gotten bord and I already got the needles and fire. Well I had the fire until InuYasha stole it.
InuTashio- What!
Sister, Stripe, Shadow:-Gotta go!
