Chapter 3:
Saturday came next. The girls spent a good three hours cleaning up what they had done to the basement. Rin's parents refused to come down stairs for fear of a heart attack upon seeing the destruction on their basement. So Rin took responsibility and they got right to it. And it kinda sucked too since they were suffering from sugar hangovers. So they suffered through headaches while picking up crushed soda cans and potato chip bags. They yawned through extreme tiredness as they hosed down the floor. And finally, they groaned from stomachaches from too much unhealthy junk in their systems as they threw away stale chips and candy that was covered in mysterious and questionable gray hair and lint and was deemed officially uneatable.
By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they had a much better looking basement then what they woke up to. Sure the floor was soggy and the tables were sticky, and there was hidden chips and crumbs in the corners, but, um... okay, I really have nothing to say for them. The point is that they had finished cleaning. Now they were free.
The phone rang upstairs. Rin ran up the stairs, while everyone else drooped into their arms or sat with their eyelids halfway closed. It was a side-effect, they'll get over it... eventually.
The ringing upstairs stopped and there was a couple seconds of silence. Rin came back down with the cordless phone. "Kagome. It's your Mom."
Kagome jumped off of the table and took the phone from Rin, and tried to stifle a large yawn but failed miserably as she greeted her mother.
"He--- ey mom..." She said, rubbing her eyes.
"Hi sweetheart." Came her mom's cheerful voice. In the background, there was yelling about demons and evil. "How was the sleepover?"
"Good, I guess." Kagome shrugged.
"Yes well, Kagome, on your way home, can you go down to the corner store and get some milk? The doctor said that Dad needs a glass twice a day to keep healthy and Dad went and destroyed all that we had with glue."
Kagome snorted. "Glue?"
"He said it was demon repellent."
"But what does that have to do with the milk?"
She heard her mom sigh. "He said his doctor was evil because he was part rabbit demon (yes, there are demons peacefully living among the humans in this story) and the 'stuff he had to drink was all a part of his evil plan.' Either way, we have a bunch of curdled milk and dad is yelling about spells."
"Interesting. Okay, I'll get it."
"Thank you dear, I'll pay you back when you get home."
"Hm..." And they both hung up. Kagome threw her fist to the ceiling and stretched then rubbed her eyes.
"Kay, I'm off."
"Bye." The rest of them mumbled, half-awake.
--------------------
"Why do I have to do this shit?" Inuyasha cursed to himself as he shuffled over to the shed as his elder brother supervised with his arms crossed.
"I can hear you, you know." Sesshomaru reminded him.
"I know dammit! Stop telling me that your a full demon and I'm half. I kinda realized that. What I can't seem to find out is why I have to clean out the stupid shed when we rarely even use it in the first place!"
"Because, idiot." Sesshomaru explained, "Father is coming home for the first time in a while and I want this entire estate cleaned for his arrival."
Inuyasha approached the door and stood there. "So why couldn't you have one of the servants do this?" He seethed.
"You need to learn responsibility." Sesshomaru said plainly. "Besides, I had most of them do the other parts of the house and especially clean your room."
"WHAT?" Inuyasha had grasped the door and upon hearing that, jerked open the shed door that yanked the door out of it's hinges with a horrendous crash. Inuyasha threw the impaled door to the ground. "THEIR GONNA MESS UP MY STUFF! WHY, DAMMIT?"
Sesshomaru was not phased at all by his anger. "I just told them to make it presentable. Their not going to throw out any of your dirty magazines, just picking up some clothes from the floor."
"I don't have any dirty magazines! Your thinking of Miroku!"
Sesshomaru didn't answer, nor did he really listen to that last comment. He casually looked at the door on the ground. "After you finish cleaning the shed, I want you to fix that door. Go to the convenient store and pick up some nails. Jaken needed the ones we have for maintenance."
"Why don't I get some from him then?"
"He needs them more then you."
"No, he doesn't." Inuyasha spat.
"Yes, but I want you to do it anyway."
Inuyasha glared ferociously at his brother's non-emotional face. He was enjoying this, he knew it. He turned to go into the shed but Sesshomaru stopped him.
"First, get the ammonia and other cleaning products."
Inuyasha glared at the ground. He didn't want his brother to enjoy this any more then he should, so for once in his life, he complied.
--------------
Sesshomaru inspected the bottle of bleach that Inuyasha had brought. "Inuyasha, this will cause the tools to rust. Get another bottle."
-----------
"Inuyasha, this rag is filthy. It is not appropriate. Get another one."
Inuyasha growled fiercely, snatched the cloth from his brothers hands and stomped back into the building.
--------------
Sesshomaru inspected all the cleaning supplies that Inuyasha brought out. Inuyasha stared at him angrily, his arms crossed, his foot tapping the ground impatiently, waiting for his brother to make him search the entire mansion they lived at for half an hour once more for cleaning supplies, when he knew damn well, that the one he had right there was just fine.
Sesshomaru folded his arms and began to walk away. "Good. These are descent enough. Now, to the shed, half-brother."
"Finally." Inuyasha roughly grabbed the pail he brought out for cleaning and marched into the shed, expecting a truly messed up shed if his elder brother was being so damn picky. What he saw really pissed him off.
"Dammit, you bastard, this shed is ALREADY FREAKIN CLEAN!"
Sesshomaru tried to hid a smirk but was failing. "Is it? Then sweep the dust out using that broom there and get to work on that door."
Sesshomaru calmly walked through the back door, barely concealing an evil smirk on his lips while his brother cursed at the top of his lungs that caused the eldest maid that they had on staff, clutch her heart, and cross herself.
---------------
Kagome walked down the street, singing quietly to herself the tune of 'Angels' by Within Temptation.
Sparkling Angel, I believed
You are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith, I couldn't hear.
All the whispers, the warnings so clear...
They were high notes, but she nailed them just fine. In her hands, she carried two gallons of milk. They were heavy, and they affected her speed, but she was in no hurry.
I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now.
No mercy no more.
She forgot the words past that point, so she just hummed the tune. She passed an alleyway where a bunch of gansta' guys looked up and saw a raven haired girl whose hair was shoved into a messy bun with a small flowered tank-top and khaki cargo pants, walking slowly and humming to herself while carrying groceries. It would be a piece of cake. They couldn't pass up an opportunity like this.
The leader nodded his head in a direction and his lackeys followed.
"Hey sweetheart." He said. "What are you this fine morning."
Kagome closed her eyes but continued walking. "If your planning to rape me, its stupid to do it in broad daylight."
"Who says we were gonna rape ya?" He came towards her suggestively. "However, if that's what you want from us, we'd be glad to."
Kagome broke out into a run but was took no more then two before being cut off.
"Where you goin' baby? We were just about to have some fun." He grabbed the strap of her tank top and she jerked away, the milk sloshing.
"Get 'er." Kagome screamed as they started to fondle her but two seconds later, Inuyasha broke it up, oblivious to the whole situation. Everyone froze, Kagome staring at him, her shirt being ripped off and her limbs repressed. "'xcuse me ladies." He said, walking off, grumbling about his jackass of a brother.
"Dude! You wanna start somethin'?" They shouted at him. Inuyasha turned around viciously.
"I'm really pissed right now, so just back off before someone gets hurt." Inuyasha growled. He spotted Kagome in her condition, dots of tears in her eyes. He narrowed his eyes. "And let the girl go while your at it."
Kagome shook her head at him. 'Don't get involved. Their gonna kill you.' She spoke mentally at him.
"How about this, you walk away like the half-demon you are, and we'll mind our own business." The leader announced to him, and Inuyasha froze in his tracks.
He turned around slowly. "Nobody..." He bared his claws. "Calls me..." He lunged. "A HALF-DEMON!" He was sick of his brother calling him that. He most certainly wasn't gonna take it from these bozos.
They flinched and stepped back. Humans against demons, even a half-demon, its still going to hurt. They dropped Kagome who landed with an "oof" on the ground.
Inuyasha stopped right in front of them and they flinched. They looked at him oddly.
He pulled his leg back and WHAP!
He kicked one of them right in the family jewels. Using his foot, kicked another one in the gut, causing him to topple into the other guys like bowling pins.
They all scattered.
"Augh, dammit, that half-demon bastard ain't gonna keep that up right Naraku-- Boss?"
"Hell no, just keep running, we'll get back to him." The one named Naraku yelled, holding his crotch. "I was planning to use these later. Causing my boys to run like babies, he will pay!"
Inuyasha stood there and watched them run, a satisfied smirk plastered on his face. In his mind, he had just beat the shit outta Sesshomaru and that made him a very happy boy indeed. "Yeah, go on and RUN! And I learned that from my DAD too, it's called, 'Mercy.' Come back again, and I ain't gonna show any!"
Kagome huffed, totally in shock. She couldn't believe what incredible timing. A hand was held out to her. She looked up. It was Inuyasha, with that same smirk on his face. "Goin' up?"
"Thank you." She said breathlessly and he assisted in lifting herself up.
'Wow, she's really light.' He thought. "You okay?"
"Yeah... Your timing is amazing." Kagome breathed. She looked at his face. His boyish features with golden eyes, and messy bangs that partially covered them. And these two fuzzy dog-ears sticking out of his skull. They looked familiar "Your a half-demon."
Inuyasha flinched. "Oh, oh I'm sorry. It's just... your ears, their really cute." Kagome tried to make it better. Seriously, those ears were familiar, why couldn't she place them?
"Feh." All of a sudden, the song "Walking in Memphis" by Mark Cohn (I couldn't think of a better song. It was on the radio.) erupted from Inuyasha's belt. He unclipped his cell phone from his belt and looked at the caller ID.
Kagome smiled. She looked down and looked at the ground. Her eyes widened. The milk that sent her out in the first place was ruined. The first gallon was all spilled out and the carton crushed. The second one managed to escape major damage, but there was a hole on the side, and milk was bleeding out of it.
Kagome looked up again, and he was gone. She tilted her head. 'Kinda like batman.' She thought. 'Where did he go anyway?' She looked up the street. No one. Everyone had scattered because of earlier. "Maybe... he had to be somewhere?" She asked out loud.
--------------
"Dammit! Stupid Sesshomaru. If I don't make it to the convenient store 2 miles from the house in 5 minutes, he calls me just to make sure I haven't raped anyone! Grr..." Technically, Inuyasha did have to be somewhere, he just didn't want to. So now he was leaping from rooftop to rooftop, trying to beat his time. "He ruined a good moment too..."
Inuyasha stopped before a particularly difficult jump, and jumped a little ways, and pushed off the side of the building, landing roughly in front of The Panda store; Convenience.
