School and Home

"Sesshomaru?"

"Hn."

"Are you worried?"

"About what mate?"

"About the way they suddenly decided to dress of course." Kagome snapped a little.

'She is moody today, I wonder why?' "No my little one, I am not, I know they will be fine and do what is right. If not they know what kind of punishment to expect."

"Hn."

"What is wrong mate."

"Oh nothing, other than being moody!" Kagome hissed at him.

'Oh shit!'

"Oh shit is right, you arrogant egotistic bastard."

Kagome got up out of bed, walked to the bathroom and slammed the door shut officially breaking the hinges.

-sighs- "What did I do now?" Sesshomaru asked himself.

"Come on Bro, we're gonna be late."

"Chill out okay, I just want to make sure that every thing is ready!"

Koikotsu and Hoshitu was now about five minutes of walking distance away from the bus stop. Last year they would take their own vehicles to school or the limo, but then they met their friends who rode the bus and decided that it would be better not to be showing up all the time in a nice car. People tend to think you are a little stuck up if you don't ride the bus at least once because you are to good for it.

'Geez, and they say that I'm the younger one! He takes for ever and is always so slow what the hell is up with him today?' Hoshitu thought.

"Little brother, are you through with your musing? If so then may we continue?" Koikotsu asked.

"Yeah, yeah, lets just get this over with!" Hoshitu shot.

"Keh, baka!" Koikotsu said in a monotone voice.

They ran the rest of the way to the bus stop but did not come in to view yet. They stopped running and hid their aura's as not to alert any potential danger of their true identity. Once that was done, then did they step out into view. Their friend Aidan was the first to turn around and see them.

"Yo, man wassup?" Aidan asked.

"Yo, not much, how is every thing on your side of the wall?" Hoshitu responded.

A beautiful girl with red hair and blue eyes looked at Hoshitu with a slight blush. She was a whole grade behind him but that did not matter at all. She wore her hair in pig tails. She wore a black mini skirt with fishnet thigh highs and knee high boots. Her shirt was fishnet and she wore a sports bra under it, officially revealing her mid section which had a slight six pack to it. She may be shy but one look and her beautifully toned body and you could tell she was tough.

"Hi Hoshitu." the girl said with a deeper blush crossing her face.

Hoshitu just stared at the beauty before him. He couldn't speak. . .that is. . .until his brother stepped in.

"Please, Ashanti, you will have to forgive my little brother. It seems he has no manners at all. That or he is just to stupid to comprehend what you had just said."

Ashanti giggled and this caused Hoshitu to gulp and blush.

"H-hi Ashanti. How are you doing today?" Hoshitu mentally kicked himself for stammering.

She just giggled more at his antics, which to him made all his screw ups worth it. "I am doing good. Father and I got into an argument this morning though."

"Really about what?" Hoshitu asked with slight concern.

"About how I was dressed. Daddy's little girl is not allowed to leave the den wearing hardly anything at all. But then I told him that if I were to wear my clan outfit that I would be wearing even less than I am now and he shut up and left me alone."

Hoshitu laughed with both relief and disbelief. "I see that your father knows his place now hu?" Hoshitu asked.

"Yeppers!" Ashanti chirped.

At that point other people arrived at the bus stop.

"Yo, dude you are like so lame you know that." One of the guys spoke to the four that were all ready there.

"Why is that." Koikotsu asked.

"Because man, who the hell gets out of bed at fucking seven in the morning and gets to the bus stop thirty minutes to an hour early just to stand around and do nothing! I mean come on! That is sleep time!"

"Oh shut up Inumaru." Ashanti spat.

"You break our hearts, Ashanti."

"I'm sure I d. . .HENTAI!" -SLAPPING SOUNDS- and an unconscious boy who was also wearing the same type of clothes as the other two.

"Aidan, when is your brother ever going to learn to respect women?" Koikotsu sighed out.

Aidan laughed before he even bothered answering. "Probably never."

Koikotsu took this time to look at what Aidan was wearing. He wore all black just like Koikotsu. But his shirt read something different that actually made Koikotsu laugh. It said, "And I care Because. . ." Now normally this would not make Koikotsu laugh because it was more of a statement than it was meant to be funny. But after what happened over the summer, it just seemed right for Aidan to wear it.

Aidan's ex-girlfriend had given him the "we should just be friends" speech. Then she tried to make him jealous by dating Aidan's friend. This all happened Three days ago. She wanted him back and he said no so she dated his friend. Yep I would say the shirt is very appropriate. His baggy pants scraped the floor even in his boots. He wore a spiked choker around his neck and spiked bracelets around his wrists. All in all, he looked good to the woman's eyes. Defiantly a yummy piece of candy for the female eyes, and some male too.

Aidan stood about five foot eight inches. His long black hair pulled back into a high pony tail. He looked much like his mother to be honest. . .which is probably why he isn't a lecherous teenage boy getting sent to the office every day for sexually harassment. But both his brother and his father swear that it's a curse.

The rest of the group consisted of about the same style. Most of them had traits of their parents and they wore black or something dark. They all wore sex bracelets and some wore chokers.

"Hey every one, wanna get together after school and hang out at our place." Makotchin asked. (Ma-ko-shin sorry lol) Makotchin was Aidan's younger brother. They had a sister too, but she was still in middle school. She inherited more of her father's looks.

"Hey, I'm game. How 'bout you?" Hoshitu asked.

"Na bro, you go ahead, I have a project that mother and I need to finish tonight, it's due tomorrow." Koikotsu answered.

"I'm sorry. Hey Makotchin, we ain't goin. Sorry. Maybe next time."

Koikotsu stared at his brother in disbelief. "I said you could go, why are you staying behind?"

"Because, Brothers of blood." Hoshitu answered.

Koikotsu understood now. Hoshitu was using this as a chance to thank him for sticking it out with his younger brother. If he suffered his older brother suffered. So if his older brother had to suffer because of school, then he would suffer too. Yes they are close and nothing like Sesshomaru and Inuyasha.

"Hey every one, I have a better idea." Inumaru said. He then looked at his sister like friend. She smiled when she caught on to what he was going to suggest.

"Yes, we both have a better idea." Ashanti announced.

"So tell already and get it over with." Inuyasha spat.

"Shut up ass hole and hold your horses." Kira spat back. You could tell that these two were related. Kira looked just like her mother, and Inuyasha. . .well need I say more. Minus the fire rat kimono.

"Well, if you two are through?" Inumaru announced. "Lady Ashanti would you do us the honor of announcing our brilliant plan?" Inumaru asked.

"Yes, thank you Inumaru. Let us all go to Koikotsu's and Hoshitu's house after school. Because I know that we will all have homework to do. This way we can all help each other and not only do we get to hang out, but we get our stuff done faster, and if it does not get done faster it is because we're all having to much fun doing it." Ashanti answered.

Hoshitu and Koikotsu both blushed. Koikotsu was very aware of his brother's feelings for Ashanti, which is why he had not bothered to ask her out. If any thing, his brother deserved at least one good thing in his life.

"Um. . ." Hoshitu responded. Yeah not the brightest of the bunch is he? Lol.

"Allow us to inquire with our father first before we make a move." Koikotsu finished.

"OH COME ON! YOUR PARENTS HAVE NEVER MINDED BEFORE WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY START MINDING NOW?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Inuyasha, I hate to break it to ya, but people. . .unlike you, do have lives to live." Makotchin said. His ears were ringing from Inuyasha's out burst. But he should have expected that.

"Feh, what ever!" Inuyasha said before crossing his arms over his chest and turning away. Every one just sighed and shook their heads. He was pmsing again.

"Kira, how do you put up with him?" Koikotsu asked.

"Fuck off you piece of dog shit!" Inuyasha said.

"You know that could be taken as a pun for the both of us considering the fact that we are both inu's." Koikotsu said in a deathly calm voice. Oh yes he was getting angry. He did not know why but him and Inuyasha could never get along. Hell he got along better with Kira than he did Inuyasha.

"Yes it could be taken as a pun for you, However it can not be said about me! For I am full blooded demon, you are nothing more than a mutt faced half breed!" Inuyasha spat.

Koikotsu's eye flashed red for a brief second and in that same brief second, Inuyasha was pinned to a near by tree with Koikotsu's claws digging into his neck. He wanted blood, his beast wanted blood, but he had to keep himself from killing Inuyasha.

"If I recall the story correctly, young cousin, then it is you who bares more of the tainted blood than I do. For your very father was a half breed himself before the Shikon no Tama changed that to suite his wish for them all to live to see each other again. At least my mother is a miko, while as his mother was a mere low life filthy human being."

"Do. Not. Talk. About. My. Grandmother. That. Way." Inuyasha spat out between gasps of breath. He was losing this battle and quickly.

"On the contrary cousin, it is you who should not talk, for your mouth is the reason as to why you are in this predicament in the first place. I the filthy half breed at least bares the powers of that of a holy person, as your father's mother bared none. Remember that the next time you wish to discuss my tainted blood. Lest you wish me to just remove your tongue for you LITTLE cousin." With that said, Koikotsu dropped Inuyasha and walked away to get on the bus that had just pulled up.

"Inuyasha." A monotone voice rang.

"Hai, brother, I am fine."

"What is bothering you so?"

"My son never learns." Inuyasha gave a sorrowful laugh. "He has opened his mouth to Koikotsu again and now they are yet again going at it. And yet again my son has been put into his place."

Sesshomaru gave an amused chuckle, he made sure to teach his sons well just in case his family decided to shun them for being hayous. He would make sure to let every one know that just because you are a 'half breed' doesn't mean that you are automatically weak, or weaker than usual. He had learned this through sparring with his brother so much when he was still a half breed. Inuyasha, over the years, had grown in power so much that his demon blood took over completely. This left him as a demon. It took them three months to teach Inuyasha not to allow his blood to control him. But they left that part out of the story, they simply told every one it was because of the wish he had made on the shikon jewel that still rested around his mates neck.

"We have to find a way to break the bad blood that has come between them. They have inherited our hate for each other." Sesshomaru stated.

"No, leave them be." Inuyasha said.

"Care to explain little brother." Sesshomaru asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We worked it out. We don't hate each other any more. All it took was for Kagome to sit us down and try to figure things out. Let it play out between them okay. They will find their own way of rectifying their blood." Inuyasha explained.

"Hmm." Sesshomaru said deep in thought. "You are right. We shall let it play out for a little while. However. . .if they start fighting to the point that it would reveal their true identities, then we must find another way. We no longer live in the feudal era, there fore we can not afford to allow them two to fight like we are."

"Understood aniki." Inuyasha said. And with that, they got down to looking at the business merging contracts that they were suppose to sign.
