Okay! I am finally posting another chapter... ANd I'm sorry it took so long and that it is sooo short. I am a horrible writer. Or at least bad at continuing and video games ruin my life. ... That's the only excuse I have. u.u
It was late at night when Risa had them stop and stash the packs. Sesshomaru hung in the background disapprovingly as the boys stood before her. She looked over them and smiled.
"All right… Inuyasha is your father's younger brother and a half breed like I am. They… well at best they don't get along. His children are all much older and his mate recently died, so let's be nice okay? No running off."
"Okay!" Naruto grinned as Sasuke nodded.
"Do you get along with him?" Itachi asked. Risa winced and Sesshomaru scoffed.
"He hates her."
"He does not hate me. Perhaps not fond…"
"He hates what you are, what you can do, and that you are with me." Risa sighed and Sesshomaru smirked in victory. Itachi looked between them in confusion before Sasuke spoke up.
"If he doesn't like you why are we visiting him?" Sesshomaru smiled infuriatingly at Risa.
"Yes, why are we? Do tell."
"Because I want to be civil. Is that such a hard concept to grasp? Kagome died a week ago and that must've been hard on him. So regardless about how he feels about soul-stealers in general and your terrible relationship, we should at least pay our respects for her sake. She was actually okay with us."
"Let's just go!" Naruto yelled out, instantly drawing everyone's attention. After a moment Sesshomaru smiled lightly and Risa chuckled.
"All right sweetheart."
It was only an hour later that they were walking away and heading back home. Sesshomaru's glare had yet to fade and Risa's scowling face deterred any questions as they pulled Naruto and Sasuke along, each sporting a few new bruises and scrapes. Itachi trailed behind them in exasperation and holding his hastily wrapped arm. Once they were far enough away he spoke just barely loud enough to be heard.
"He has quite the temper doesn't he? His entire line actually, right down to the grandchildren." When they stopped to glance at him he chuckled lightly. "You weren't kidding when you said he doesn't like you two." After a pause Risa smiled lightly back at him.
"I guess we weren't." She held out a hand to him. "Come on Itachi, let's go home and fix your arm."
Hope you liked. I'll try and get another chapter out much sooner! ... Maybe
