"Hey are you alright?" Sesshoumaru ignored Inuyasha as he tried to clamber onto the counter next to the girl. She nodded shyly, and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there. Inuyasha gave a wide childish grin, his fangs showng and ears tweaking.
"Good, if Fluffy'd hurt you I'd have to beat him up!" Inuyasha putted out his little chest mildly and Sesshoumaru reached over without even looking and pushed. Inuyasha was sent sprawling into the sink with a clatter of dishes shifting under him.
"HEY! WHY'D YOU DO THAT!" The little guy shrieked, mildly wet due to one of the dishes having been filled with water fo a good soak. Rin giggling behind her hand before shushing at Inuyasha's glare. Sesshoumaru eyed him, "You were being annoying." The elder demon offered the girl a hand and she hopped down as Inuyasha extricated himself from the mess.
"Inuyasha," golden eye flicked in annoyance up, "Could you change before you soak the floor, and bring her something to wear?" They softened immediately and Inuyasha nodded heading for the stairs as Sesshoumaru, absently brushed a stray bang from Rin's eyes.
"Who are your parents?" he asked mildly, pulling back when he noticed what he was doing and busing himself with packing up the first aid kit properly. She wraggled her legs back and forth under the chair, little hands perched on the edges on either side. She looked a bit worn for a moment.
"I'm an o'phan," she looked up, tears were welling up in those eyes of her again, "Th-they got killed by bad demons." Sesshoumaru's features flickered slightly, he knew the pain of a loss of a parent. Two would be even worse, struggling against an urge to snatch the girl tightly and give her a hug he snapped the case closed. Inuyasha wandered back down carrying a small top and a pair of jeans that'd been in his closet for a few years, really too small for him now but they;d never ended up getting rid of them.
"Go change," Sesshoumaru motioned to the clothes, "You can use the downstairs bathroom." She nodded quite firmly and took the clothes form Inuyasha giving him a slight aura of distrust. Inuyasha looked haughtily down at her and growled slightly before she scurried off. Sesshoumaru sighed heavily.
"She's staying with us for a while, get used to her," he entoned as if he were speaking to the wall, Inuyahsa's jaw dropped.
"Oh HELL no! Did you see the look she gave me! She -hates- me!" Sesshoumaru glanced up to see the boy trembling slightly with what could possibly be rage. He blinked, worked up over something that small, that wasn't like his little brother... Inu snatched something off the table, the twenty for dinner, and started stalking towards the door. Sesshoumaru stood up and darted in front of him blocking his way. Inuyasha hissed.
"Let me OUT! I'm going for a while and YOU can't stop me," The boy growled, tensing up to do something stupid. His brother eyed him, arms crossed as he stared him down.
"You're going nowhere," his cold voice cut across and Inuyasha snapped. He took for the kitchen, Sesshoumaru hot on his tail, as he snapped open the window over the sink jumped out. He toppled some when he hit the grass and took off running from under the porchlight and out of Sight. Sesshoumaru perched halfway through the window.
"INUYASHA GET BACK HERE!" But it was a lost cause. His brother's taken off for now. Pulling himself back inside he found the little girl staring up at him curiously. He felt a need to comfort her, and bent down slightly.
"He'll, be back," Sesshoumaru looked optimistic, if only slightly. He closed his eyes so she couldn't see the look behind his eyes and was surprised as a pair of tiny arms wrapped around his neck.
"Issokay Sesshy-sama," she patted his back like a mother figure would, and Sesshoumaru tensed. What a strange little girl.
Inuyasha took down the street, breathing raggedly as he took a sharp corner. A hand slammed into his shoulder, throwing him against the wall hard. He yelped and winced as a man who seemed utterly disgusting stood out. His scent was horrible and it made Inuyasha dizzy and nauseous.
"Look what we have," a wicked voice intoned, and a small girl appeared holding amirror. She seemed utterly calm as she held it up. Inuyasha felt weak, he struggled as the strong hand pinned him there but under the combonation of the pain of the bones in his shoulder grating against each other, the smell, and whatever that mirror was doing he blacked out.
Naraku let go, and stepped back, "Kohaku." The name was a command and the boy stepped forward, grabbing Inuyasha and hefting him over a shoulder. Naraku patted Kanna affectionately, and the girl ignored it completely. She seemed souless.
"Let's go."
The dark trio headed back to the warehouse that was deemed Narakus hideout, with their prey in their grasp as easy as a moth to the flame. See what Sesshoumaru would do now, now that they had his brother.
