Chapter 15:
"Hey guys~ check it out!" Inuyasha waved paper slips in his hand during class one day.
"What it is?" Kagome wasn't interested in them, yet.
"My brother got me four tickets to the famous theme park as a birthday present. Be grateful, he bought one each for you guys." The hanyo bragged shamelessly. Though he did wonder if four was just a lucky guess of Sesshomaru's.
"That's awfully nice." Sango mouthed.
"Cool, but don't get too carried away." Miroku agreed.
"Eh?! When are they applicable?!" Kagome sounded totally interested now.
"Huh, oh this Sunday?" Inuyasha read the fine print on the tickets.
"What?! That's not fair—I already have plans this Sunday! Right Sango?" The raven-haired girl whined.
Sango nodded. "That's right, Kagome and I already have reservations that day. Sorry Inuyasha, it seems we won't be able to join you."
"Eh? What plans?" The white-haired teen probed.
"Just a spa and stuff, you know some lady stuff." Kagome whipped her long hair off her shoulder. Miroku and Inuyasha's faces turned flat, not willing to question further.
"What about you, Miroku?"
"You bet, I'm free." The monk gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright! Now we're talkin'! Looks like we'll just have all the fun." The boys high fived and rubbed it in.
"Okay you two, calm down." Kagome hissed before the teacher entered the classroom and silenced the students.
After School:
"So, what are you going to do with the other two tickets?" Miroku asked as they gracefully walked towards the school gates.
"Hm...I was wondering the same thing all day. Is there anyone else we can invite? It'd be a waste not to. And I definitely don't wanna take my parents—no offense to them." Inu told. The teens thought long and hard for a moment...
'Damn, did they only have three friends?' Both of them thought in unison as if telepathically connected.
"Actually...I was wondering if it was okay to take Koga along...? I mean he has helped us a few times now." Miroku suggested.
"Hah?! Why him?"
"Why not...?"
"Fine~! Geez, aren't you guys close?" Inu eyed him suspiciously.
"W-we just get along. I mean, he's a likeable guy—what's wrong with it?" Miroku couldn't understand why he was stammering while speaking.
"Whatever."
"So, what are you going to do with the last one?"
"I think I might have just the idea." The hanyo stared down at the ticket in his hand.
"Not happening." Sesshomaru deadpanned at his request, arms crossed.
"Oh, come on! Why not?!" Inuyasha wailed, throwing his arms in air once as they stood in the hall outside their rooms.
"Are you joking? How could you even ask such an insensate thing?"
"Hey, you're the one who bought them."
"It was a simple excuse of a present for you. And to take your friends, not myself."
"But half of them are busy. You're the last person I can ask—come on, it'll be fun~" the teen tried to reason with him, but Sesshomaru appeared unfazed.
"Being with you in an amusement park, will be no different than babysitting. Perhaps I should hire a babysitter for you instead?"
"Ugh, fine! I'll be on my best behavior, you're highness."
"Not interested." The silverette rotated his body towards the stairs. He was caught off-guard when a pair of arms locked on his stomach from behind. "What are you—"
"I'm not letting go until you say yes!"
"Inuyasha." the elder growled. "This is extremely immature."
"Say yes then!"
"Oh dear, what's going on? I heard shouting..." Izayoi was now seen at the foot of the staircase that opened in the living room.
"Mom, Sesshomaru won't come with me to the amusement park!" Inuyasha snitched, causing the other to look a level more agitated.
"The amusement park? That sounds like a great idea, I think you'll have fun." Of course, Izayoi would take Inuyasha's side.
"You ever been to an amusement park?" The younger curiously questioned, face half buried in the other's back.
"That's irrelevant." The demon gripped one of the teen's arms, in attempts to rip them off.
"I'm home." InuTaisho's voice was heard as he entered the house.
"Welcome home honey~" Their mother instantly greeted, until InuTaisho caught sight of Inuyasha being dragged down the stairs, while... wrapped around Sesshomaru's back?
"What's going on?" It was quite a rare sight, so the man had to ask.
"Oh, Inuyasha really wants Sesshomaru-kun to accompany him to the theme park." His wife explained with a smile.
"And I was just telling this half-breed, I have no intentions of wasting valuable time. Now let go already." Sesshomaru clarified.
"Actually Sesshomaru, now that I think about it, you've never taken any time off from the company or school. I think you deserve the break."
"What? No, that's unnecessary. I need to make sure the project will go as planned-"
"Hey, don't worry, I'll oversee that, and make sure your team doesn't slack off. In the meantime, take the weekend off. That's an order from your boss." InuTaisho spoke sternly but ended with a grinned.
"Yay! That's three out of four, demon!" Inuyasha released the elder and threw his hands in the air. However, what he didn't expect was Sesshomaru to mercilessly grab his chin and force him to see eye to eye.
"I hope you're happy hanyo, because I'll make you wish you never brought me along." It was a threat, and the last words the silverette venomously spat before disappearing.
"Ahaha..." 'Ah...he looked really angry just now, those eyes...' Inuyasha didn't want to question his decision so soon.
Miroku stared at his contacts list and realized one very basic yet important thing. He didn't have Koga's phone number. It never occurred to any of them. The brunette sighed and shoved his phone back in his pocket. If he remembered correctly, Koga said he was from the neighboring school, Y.Z. High, was it? It had to be.
'Now's a good time to visit since they were probably dismissed as well. If he was fast enough, he could catch the other before he went home.' Miroku decided. The teen walked over to the neighboring high school and reached the main gates. He peered his head into the yard, scanning his eyes for a certain wolf demon.
"Where is he? I hope he didn't leave yet...ump!" The monk's shoulder bumped into a taller teen.
"Hey! Your eyes for show or something?!" A tall buff dude shouted at him.
"Uh, s-sorry..." Miroku did note one thing as soon as he traversed the street to their place: this school was full of yankees and delinquents!
"Hah? You're not even from around here –what business you got in our school?" The taller teen interrogated with a nasty frown.
"I'm here for someone...now excuse m—"
"Yo! Why don't you pick on someone your own size! You wanna fight bro, come at me!" A familiar third voice interjected between them. The brunette turned to recognize Koga, standing with his hands in his pockets. Miroku immediately exuded a sigh of relief.
"Koga? Whaddaya want?" The delinquent faced him too now.
"That's my friend you're messing with. You mess with him, you mess with me—got it?!" Koga glared, making his point across very clear.
"I gotchu bro, I didn't know—he didn't say anything. I was just making sure. I'll see ya at the club tomorrow." The taller teen left with that. The wolf demon nodded sternly before turning to Miroku.
"You okay? Damn, you're practically a magnet to trouble."
"Ahaha, I would argue with that. I'm fine, I'm just glad I found you." Miroku smiled.
"What's up? For you to come find me..."
"Actually, Inuyasha had this extra ticket to an amusement park, and well... I was wondering if you were free this weekend." The brunette bashfully asked.
Koga stared at him for a moment. "Yeah, sure. I could do that."
"Really? That's great. Oh! Before I forget, I think we should exchange numbers."
"Oh yeah, sure, here." The wolf demon automatically handed him his phone, feeling a small amount of unpredictable joy.
"I'll call you." Miroku told as he gave him the extra ticket and began to walk away.
"Hey wait." Koga's words stopped him. "You going home, right? Me too, so let's just go together."
"Huh? Sure, okay."
Sunday:
"We're here!" Inuyasha rejoiced as he jumped out of Sesshomaru's car. The demon ended up driving the four of them to their destination.
"What're we waiting for them?" Koga was one step ahead of Inuyasha and was already signing himself in at the gates. Miroku followed behind.
"Hey, wait up!" The hanyo sped up as well.
After they successfully obtained wristbands for entry, Koga led them to the first ride he saw: the rollercoaster, and not just any small rollercoaster in the park. This one was the highest one in the park, it so happened to be the first thing from where they entered the park.
"I'll wait. Sigh, I knew this would be no different than babysitting." Sesshomaru was still bitter about the whole ordeal.
"No way! At least have some fun while you're babysitting then!" Inuyasha clamped his arm and dragged him to the waiting line.
To say they had a blast, was an understatement. Inuyasha came out from there, with his legs feeling like jelly. After the long car ride, to be suddenly thrown into that, probably wasn't the best idea. Where was the dumbass who insisted this? The hanyo turned to glare at Koga, who looked unscathed.
"Oi! Koga! You freakin' dumbass! Why'd you have to take us to that first thing, right off the bat?!"
"Meh, get over it~" Koga waved his hand carelessly. Both of them found Miroku exiting the ride as well, features portraying dizziness. "Yo, you good?" Koga lent him a shoulder.
"Mh, yeah I'm fine. Just been a while, plus we were eating those snacks in the car." Miroku nodded, swallowing the nauseous feeling.
"Well, you better be, cause we're just getting started babe." Koga winked, causing the other to turn a shade of red, even when he knew it was a mere play of words and meant nothing. "Anyway, you guys are no fun, we're gonna check other places out." The wolf demon grabbed Miroku's hand and led him away.
'Ack, wait don't leave us alone... he's already ready to kill me any moment...' Inuyasha fretted, stealing a glance towards the demon who was continuously glaring at him. "Oh, come on, Sesshomaru, don't be like that...I promise I'll make it up to you..." Sesshomaru loudly clicked his tongue and began walking. "Wait, where are you going?" the younger had no choice but to tag along. 'So much for having fun.'
"Oh! I wanna try this! Hold on!" Inuyasha stopped the elder in his tracks and waltz over to a man standing beside a High striker stand. The teen was cordially offered a hammer and introduced to the game. In order to receive a prize, all he had to do was hit the hammer as hard as possible and score higher than 90%. He nodded and hoisted the hammer up, swinging it with great force. The red bar on the stand escalated to 80%.
"Arghh! So close! I really wanted that dog cap." Inuyasha gazed at the cap with a dog face on the front. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru only stood in the background, studying the teen. "Hey, you wanna try?"
The demon silently stepped forward taking the hammer and expressionlessly charging forward with it. The bell rang at 100%.
"Looks like we have a winner! Select your prize~!" The man hooted. However, the silverette simply turned away.
"Pick whatever you want." Was all he said, walking away.
"Eh?! Oh, then that one please." Inuyasha curtly pointed, grabbing the cap and running behind his older brother. "Thanks though~" Inuyasha grinned, wearing the cap instantly and walking along side the elder.
"It wasn't for you. I needed a means to expel my agitation."
"If you say so." The teen laughed. "Oh! You wanna go on that waterslide next?"
"And get soaked? Are you out of your mind?"
"That's the whole point!"
"You're insane."
"Ugh," Inu huffed, in defeat. "Fine~ Where do you want to go?" But he didn't earn a response from Sesshomaru, until that is, he caught the elder staring at a haunted house. "Do you wanna go in there then? ?" He questioned immediately, with a tone almost demanding 'yes' as an answer.
"I said no such thing—"
"Alright, let's go then!" The hanyo reached out for the demon's hand and led them forward.
The two walked into the house, and the first thing Inu noted was how pitch black it was. "What the hell? I get it's a haunted house and all, but how the heck are we supposed to see anything...?" The teen was irritated more than scared.
The second thing he noted was the fact that he was still gently holding on to his brother's hand...but it didn't seem like Sesshomaru cared, so, he'll just keep feigning ignorance. The charming thought brought a content smile back on his face. It was all good until he bumped into a sculpture. The teen opened his eyes to find the creepiest mug of a face two inches from his face. The hanyo shrieked at the top of his lungs, most likely startling the rest of the guests too.
'That was so bad for my heart...' Inuyasha clenched the fabric of his shirt and absent-mindedly gripped the hand he was holding. He may not have noticed, but Sesshomaru did.
"Heh, what a child." Sesshomaru mocked, taking this opportunity for revenge. The hanyo growled at him, a tear helplessly in each eye while he felt ashamed. "Don't start crying yet, your true punishment isn't even here yet."
The demon took the courtesy to drag him out of the path designated for guests inside the haunted house and pressed him against a wall instead. It was so dark, so no one would even see them. The demon then smacked his lips on top of his. Caught off-guard, the teen resisted, opening his mouth to protest but Sesshomaru used that as an opening to stick his tongue in.
"Mh..ah..ack..." Inu moaned weakly, fully being taken advantage of. The demon's movements were too quick and too haste that there was no way he could keep up. Soon, he was running out of oxygen. "Sessho—Sesshomar—uu...!" He hissed, keeping his voice as low as possible. Albeit the silverette didn't budge. "Stop! Nh...stop it!" The demon finally pulled his face away to stare down at him but Inuyasha wasn't looking up. Instead he was panting heavily with his face towards the floor, hands gripping the other's clothing.
'Shit, first that scare...now this—his heart was about to burst!' Even so, he didn't appreciate the way Sesshomau went about it. The younger pushed the demon away and dashed out the haunted house.
Sesshomaru stood over one of the park benches with his arms crossed and brow raised as he stared at the hanyo brooding on the bench.
"I warned you." The demon uttered nonchalantly.
"Shut up!" Inu finally looked at him with a scowl. "What's wrong with you?! I get you didn't want to come, but couldn't you at least tried to have fun?! I was really looking forward to today! I wanted to go to some normal place with you but you—you, che! Who am I kidding? Why am I even bothering telling you this, you're so heartless—why would it even matter to you?" He knew the last part wasn't as true as it was meant to be, but he needed to vent. A part of him even hoping the other would feel remorse and guilt of his actions after hearing it.
The demon spoke after a brief pause. "...Inuyas—"
"Just forget it. You win. I won't drag you out again. Hope you're happy." The teen tried to mask it, but it was clear in his voice that he felt hurt. The hanyo abruptly stood up and walked towards one of the cotton-candy stands.
Sesshomaru's initial instinct was to grab him and pin him in place, but he refrained from that and closed his eyes instead. The demon rubbed the back of his neck, reflecting on his actions. 'Perhaps he overdid it? Again.'
To Be Continued...
Of course, Sessho, ya just had to. Haha, totally understand him though, it's hard for introverts and those who have their priorities set, to have fun when forced like this. But hey, now we better get to see Sessho make it up to him 😉
