Our Screwed Up Lives
Chapter 9: The Science Project, and InuTashio
Harley and Whitney sat in science class, bored out of their minds. Since they decided to lay off the Takomi brothers, life had been pretty boring. They had broken up with Bankotsu and Hiten, and they felt pretty shitty for it to.
.:Flashback:.
Whitney looked at Hiten and then Bankotsu. With one final glare in Harley's direction, she turned to them fully and sighed. "Hiten, Ban, I..er..we..well Harley's to chicken to say it. Arg!"
Hiten looked at her suspicously, and growled. "Spit it out!"
Whitney almost bared her fangs, but then remembered what she was supposed to be doing. "Harley and I have come to realize something. It kills me to say this," she looked at their crest fallen faces. They knew what she was going to say. "but we don't feel the same way about you, as you do us. I mean, we love you guys and all, but more in a brotherly type." She once again looked at them and saw their confusion. "Well, look at it this way. What would you think if you came into my house and saw me making out with Jordan?"
Hiten and Bankotsu gave her a look of horror. "That's what I thought. That's how we feel when we do that stuff with you. We're sorry. We'll understand if you guys don't want to talk to us anymore."
Hiten shared a look with Bankotsu and then wrapped his arms around Whitney, watching as Bankotsu walked over and did the same to Harley. "We'll always be here for you, no matter how you feel about us."
.:End Flashback:.
Even though the guys acted as if nothing were wrong, the girls still felt like they betrayed them in some way. Although they didn't know why. They didn't pay attention to Mrs. Riss (aka crow/squaky squakey/wattle wattle/or plain old Mrs. Bird) as she named off groups for the upcoming science project. That was until she said, "Kyamerons you are with the Takomis." (Dun Dun Dun!)
They didn't pay attention as she listed off the other groups. The guys turned around, smirking grimly. "Oh shit!" Whitney whispered at the looks on their faces.
"Why me?" Harley whined to the heavens.
Inuyasha chuckled darkly as he spoke. "We're going to have a lot of fun, with this project."
"Why did I know you were going to say that?" Harley spat and hid her blush.
"Because, you spend so much time admiring my ass!" Inuyasha said, grinning.
Whitney couldn't help it. "Oh my god, that was good!" She panted into her hands.
Harley hissed. "Oh what the hell you talking about, Whitney? I saw you drooling over Sesshomaru's chest!"
Sesshomaru looked at Whitney, who just hid her face into her drawing book. "You should not hide your admiration. This Sesshomaru knows he looks good."
Whitney glared at him, her face the color of a cherry, and snarled at Harley. "I am killing you right now! I am drawing you being eaten by a pack of rabid wolves, and then I'm going to draw your head flying out of an airplane, to be squashed by an elephant's ass!"
"So where are we going to work on this?" Harley asked, ignoring her imbecilic cousin.
Sesshomaru glanced at Whitney, taking note of how cute she looked when angry. 'Wait, did I just think that?' He then looked towards Inuyasha, raising an eyebrow in a questioning manner.
"How about our house?" Inuyasha asked, waving his thumb betweem him and Sesshomaru.
Whitney instantly brought her head out of her drawings of killing the neko beside her. "What? Yo-your house?" She stuttered.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru watched as the two cousins paled. Inuyasha stared at them with a hint of concern. "Are you guys alright? You seem sick."
Harley shook her head and said, "No we're fine." she waved a hand dismissively. "But wouldn't you guys want to do it at our place? We have our own apartment."
"This Sesshomaru is aware of this." He said keeping his eyes on them to see their reaction. "But our house is much more efficient for our project. We could use our roof for the telescope and astronomy parts of the assignment."
Whitney was mentally screaming. .:Harley! What do we do! I don't want to go over there! But he's right! Our roof is slanted:.
.:I don't know! But we'll just have to suck it up and deal with it:.
.:Oooooo..I knew we should have left this God Damn school:.
Inuyasha knew that Harley was talking in her mind, as the familiar green glow appeared in her eyes. 'I wonder what's wrong. Those two are never scared, and here they are afraid to go to our house! Something is going on here.'
Sesshomaru meanwhile was contimplating on the same thing. 'Why is the feline and the bitch afraid of coming to our house? And for that matter, why haven't they pestered with us? Something strange is going on, and This Sesshomaru is going to find out what.'
The broher's watched as the girls finally looked towards them and smiled, nervously. Harley finally asnwered "It would be better to do it at your house, wouldn't it." It wasn't a question. "Our roof is slanted so I guess your house would be best. What time do you want us to be over." She blinked at them questioningly.
Whitney groaned loudly, mumbling something so quiet, that not even their demon ears could pick it up. They stared as she scowled and shivered in fear. There was definatley something going on.
"Ummm...you guys walk home right?" Inuyasha continued after their nod. "Well why don't you get a ride with us? You could ride with one of us, and then we could take you home when we were done for the night."
The girls exchanged glances and shrugged. "Sure. Why not?" Harley said, not all to thrilling.
Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow at her tone. "This Sesshomaru will drive them. I will be done much faster then you, Inuyasha." He looked at Inuyasha, daring him to argue.
"Feh," was the intelligent reply.
After School ?
When the four arrived at the Takomi mansion, the girl's jaws dropped. It was enormous, with stone walls and marble floors. Luckily, they were able to pull themselves together before the brothers noticed.
"Okay, so we probably should set up the telescope first." Inuyasha mentioned, grabbing a large box and opening it. He started randomly assembling parts without looking at the instructions as Sesshomaru joined him.
"Um, shouldn't we read the directions?" Harley inquired, watching as Sesshomaru tried to force together two pieces that obviously didn't fit.
"This Sesshomaru doesn't need to read instructions." Sesshomaru scoffed.
Inuyasha nodded. "What he said."
Whitney rolled her eyes and sighed. "Well, Einsteins, how about we build this thing when we're actually on the roof? Unless you want to lug it up three flights of stairs..."
"Uh, right...we knew that." Sesshomaru said, obviously lying.
"Um-hm, just like you knew that piece A doesn't go with part J, but with bolt B?" Harley said sarcastically.
"Just shut-up and help us!" Inuyasha yelled, as the four made their way upstairs.
On The Roof?
They four dropped the parts for the telescope on the roof, some more carefully than others.
"Okay, now this is how it's going to work. We will read the directions, then we'll assemble it!" Harley announced, holding up the folded square of paper.
"Just leave this to us, we know how to make a damn telescope!" Inuyasha retorted. Whitney sighed in exasperation.
"Fine, do it your way." She promptly sat down and examined her nails with a bored expression.
"You have one chance, but if you do it wrong, we're doing it with the DIRECTIONS! I'm not going to fail science." Harley announced, laying on her stomach on the rooftop, her head on her hands as she watched the boys work. Three hours, four migranes, and fifty-eight curse words later, the telescope was prepared. The inu-youkai brothers had ended up having to use the instructions, much to their begrudgement. The sun was now setting over the horizon as the four sat back and relaxed, watching as the light dimmed.
As the group stood to start the project Inuyasha decided to voice his thougts. (Hey Inu can think!) "Ummm... so do any of you know the concelations?" He scratched the back of his head.
Harley laughed slightly. "Well, I know where to find them, but I don't know what their names are." She sweatdropped.
Whitney instantly jumped up and said, "I do. I know it's stupid, but when I was little I found this conelation book. It was way childish, but I loved looking at the pictures." She giggled nervously.
Inuyasha nodded his head and looked towards Sesshomaru. "What about you, Fluffy?"
Whitney and Harley fell to the ground in uncontrollable laughter. "Fluffy?" Harley gasped. "Why do you call him that?"
Inuyasha shrugged at his brothers death glare. "Well, like you said, his tail is really fluffy."
Whitney held her stomach as she giggled and exclaimed, "Fluffy! Why don't you give him a wand and a tiara, and call him Princess!" She laughed harder as Sesshomaru's glare fell on her. "I'm sorry, Sessh, but that was one of the funniest things, that I have ever heard!"
Sesshomaru smirked, showing off a shiny white fang. (Ooooo shiny!) "Yes, but the best thing that This Sesshomaru has seen was that beautiful purple bikini that you were wearing last week."
Whitney instantly stopped laughing and blushed a deep red. Harley meanwhile, fell even further into her laughter. "Oh my god! That was good! 'Beautiful purple bikini!' Priceless!" She tried covering her mouth with her tail and hands but she couldn't stop.
"Shut the hell up, Harley! Your bra was showing too. I was only a little worse then you." Whitney growled. Then she smirked evily. "I'm sure Inuyasha, here liked that view." She pointed at the said hanyou.
Harley blushed madly and turned her face away from her cousin, hissing things that she would do to cause the inu-youkai a slow a painful death. The laughter immediatly died out, that is, until Sesshomaru let out a cough like snicker. Inuyasha glared and turned to face his brother. "What the hell you laughing at, Fluffy! You couldn't keep your eyes of Whitney's ass while she ran across the room!"
Now it was Harley's turn to laugh, but her laugh was drowned out by a loud, booming, bark like laughter filling the night air. The teenagers froze wide eyed. Then each and every one of them, slowly turned their head to look at the inu-youkai before them.
The said demon stood at the entrance to the roof, wearing a white t-shirt and pair of khaki pants. His white, silvery hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. He had a purple stripe on each cheek, that were jagged in shape. His eyes glistend, and his chest heaved marily when he laughed. The girls stood dumbstruck. The guy was an Inuyasha and Sesshomaru combined, only ten times better looking!
.:'Look at that hawtie:. Harley chimed in Whitney's head.
.:I know! That guy is hawt! Man! If I were older I'd be all over that peice of meat:. Whitney chirped back in Harley's head.
"Why Sesshomaru, if I didn't know any better, I wouldn't know you were my son!" The man said, falling into laughter again.
.:SON:. The girls screamed in eachothers minds.
.:Oh no! No, no, no, no! That means he's InuTahio:. Whitney rattled on nervously.
.:He wasn't supposed to be here! I thought we were going to make it tonight:.
.:Now do you see why I thoght we should leave:. Whitney yelled angrily.
.:Shutup! It's not like I knew we would become partners with them:.
.:Yeah, but I should have. Knowing my luck, we were bound to run into him eventually.:.
.:Okay there's no use in complaing in our heads. We will be calm and collected while we meet him, and act like nothing happened.:. Harley reasoned.
.:Oh, no. Nothing happened. Nothing except that that guy's the prime suspect in our families deaths:. Whitney said sarcasticaly.
.:That's it:. Harley said excitedly.
.:What is:.
.:He's a suspect! Not the actual criminal! We don't know for sure if he really was the one behind out parents death:. She did a mental happy dance.
Whitney and Harley were brought out of their inner battles when they heard InuTashio's voice echo across the roof. "So who are these lovely young youkai?" He waved his hand elegantly in the girls directions. He smirked at the way they were stationed. The neko-youkai was on all fours with her tail sticking strait-up, and her face was hidden due to her facing the ground. The inu-youkai was looking towards him wide-eyed and her mouth hanging open, with her tail bristling in alarm. It twitched back and fourth continuously.
Sesshomaru spoke up, he used a bored tone. Much different from his playfull manner. "The inu-youkai is Whitney Kyameron, and the neko-youkai is Harley Kyameron. They are cousins."
InuTashio nodded toward each of them as they were intoduced. "I am InuTashio. It's nice to meet a couple of girls who keep my sons interest." he grinned mischieviously.
"Dad!" Inuyasha yelled. "I knew you would embarass us, old man!" He gowled iratibly.
InuTashio just laughed as the look of shock spread scroos his eldest's face, and the blush continued to consume the demoness' bodies. "I'll leave you four alone then. I'll have Jaken bring something up for you to eat." He nodded in the girls direction one more time, and was gone.
Inuyasha huffed angrily and Sesshomaru shook his head in dissaproval as their dad left. Their heads imeditalty shot up when Harley spoke. "Sooo...That's your guys' dad?" they just nodded.
Whitney smiled grimly. "Well, now, that was the most embarrasing thing that has ever happened to me is over!"
Sesshomaru smirked. "You mean, besides your purple underwear hanging out for any prying eyes to see?"
Whitney growled. "You know what Sesshomaru? Shove it!" Then she turned to Harley.
.:Hey Har? If that guy was the one who put a hit on our family, why didn't he show any kind of acknowlegdement:.
.:I don't know, Whit. Maybe he's not the one who put a hit out on us after all.:.
.:Oh man! That means that we messed with those guys for no reason! Damn! When they ask us why, we wont have an excuse. Damn the FBI:.
A/N...YEAH! Another Chapter! And we finally got to meet InuTashio! YAY! (Whit does happy dance)
Har: You know that the FBI will probably come after you now.
Whit: Don't be stupid.
(FBI cars pull up)
Har: How did you get in my bedroom?
Sessh: This Sesshomaru was wondering the same thing.
Inu: Ditto
FBI guy: Cause we're the FBI! We can do anything! Duh!
Whit: Wow, impressive vocabulary dude.
FBI guy: Hardy har har! We've got orders to take you in. (Grabs Whitney's arm and begins to drag her away)
Har: Told ya so.
Sessh: You will not take Whitney! (Starts to bicker with FBI guy)
Inu: I didn't know Sesshomaru could bicker.
Har: We learn new things every day.
Whit: Very inspirational.
Har: I try.
FBI guy: I'm all teary-eyed. (Starts to cry)
Sessh: Uhhhh
Har: Suck it up, man! You're in the FBI!
Whit: Yeah, what kinda wimpo are you?
Inu: Don't trust the U.S. government to do anything right.
Sessh Har and Whit: MmmmmmHmmmm
FBI guy: Okay, that's it, all of you are going downtown!
Har: What'd we do?
FBI guy: You insulted the US government! That's illegal!
Whit: No it isn't!
Sessh: This Sesshomaru has never heard of that law.
FBI guy: (stutters) It's...uh...new! Yeah, that's it!
Inu: You liar! Go away!
FBI guy: Fine...(Arnold Shwartzunneiger voice) But I'll be back.
Har: Creepy...
Whit: You're telling me! At least he didn't touch you! Ewwwwww...
Sessh: This Sesshomaru should join the FBI.
Inu: Where the hell'd that come from?
Har: Yeah, you wanna be like that guy?
Sessh: This Sesshomaru has dreams as well!
Whit: Ooookay.
Sessh: What?
Whit: Nevermind...
Har, Inu, Whit, Sessh: We order you to review or face the seven layers of hell!
