Our Screwed Up Lives
Chapter 20: Death and Love
We introduce you to our Horrific Side!
(This chapter is dedicated to the song 'Face Down' and the movie Hills Have Eyes')
Harley and Whitney had woken up earlier than usual so that they were able to walk to school by themselves. The cousins didn't wish for the entire student body to know of them dating the Takomi brothers. Suddenly, a black Honda S-2000 Convertible, owned by Sesshomaru, pulled up, with the radio blaring 'Face Down' (We don't own it) by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (which is not us). The girls blushed and walked off quickly towards the schoolyard.
"This Sesshomaru demands that his girlfriend stops immediately." Sesshomaru ordered, strolling up to her and encircling her waist with his right
arm. Whitney froze, blushing furiously in a shade of red almost unimaginable.
"So Whitney, you left me for that prick?" Hiten growled angrily, stopping before the two.
"I, uh, I mean, you see, well, it's not, grrr! I didn't leave anyone for anybody!" Whitney said in a frustrated way.
"Why? Why did you leave me? I was faithful, I kissed you, I bought you that cute little teddy bear with the blue ribbon..." Hiten snarled, grabbing Whitney's arm.
"You kissed This Sesshomaru's Whitney?" Sesshomaru snarled.
By this time, Harley was doubled over and clutching her stomach in laughter. Inuyasha grinned at the scene before him, 'I can use this against him later'.
"This Sesshomaru tires of your impudence. Die." Sesshomaru stated in an icily maniacal voice, after seeing him begin to pull Whitney away, before bringing his poison claws down upon Hiten's unsuspecting throat. There was a gasp of surprise, a glazing of the eyes, and a final thump as Hiten's body hit the floor, dead.
Sesshomaru smiled slightly, obviously proud of his sinful work. He chuckled airily, trapped in his own world of tortuous indulgances as he tightened his grip around his prize.
The whole school seemed to be stuck in a silent reverie, awing at the murder of their classmate. Harley was no longer laughing, but was still in her bent over position, her eyes wide. Inuyasha seemed a bit disturbed, but not in all affected. This was normal for his elder brother. But Whitney was the most horrified. Hiten's blood was splattered across her shirt, and the monster who had killed him was digging his claws into her sides possessively.
"Sesshomaru..." She whispered, still stunned at his sudden agression.
"I did the world a favor. His flesh was a waste upon the land, and a flaw upon the face of the planet." Sesshomaru stated, the small smile growing fainter. He stared down at the lifeless body before him, noticing Hiten's eyes were still staring upward blankly. They were locked onto Whitney's face. Suddenly, the pale lips muttered three words.
"I l-love you..." He declared in barely a whisper before crossing over to the realm of the afterlife. Whitney's mouth was agape as his eyelids fluttered shut, the remaining color in his cheeks washing away as a cool breeze wound its way through the schoolyard. The class bell rung and students were awoken from their stupor. They looked uncertain as to what to do, glancing around at the other frightened faces of their peers. Several students left the group, walking in a formidable daze towards the entrance.
Harley straightened, her eyes never leaving the body of Hiten. She manuveured her gaze to Sesshomaru and then to her cousin, and best friend, who was still in his grip. The neko walked forward, gulping inaudibly, and moving hesitantly. "Se-Sesshomaru? Let Whitney go." She whimpered, fearing for her cousin's life. Sesshomaru turned his coldly violent gaze to the neko. But something had changed. The usual golden tone of his iris was tinged in a scarlet hue, almost like a barrier that obscured his acute eyesight. Harley yelped, running and hiding behind Inuyasha.
"What are you two pieces of trash staring at?" Sesshomaru growled, his tone dark and low. Inuyasha seemed startled by this, and widened his eyes slightly.
"Sesshomaru? What's wrong with you, bastard?" Inuyasha asked, veiling concern behind foul language.
"This Sesshomaru will take what he wants, and no one will come in his way." The demonically posessed Sesshomaru said as he hugged Whitney closer to his person. Harley was thinking frantically from her place behind the inu hanyou. She looked around, her eyes picking up the best weapon available at the moment.
"Let her go or I'll...I'll...I'll hit you with this stick!" The neko yelled, starting with a courageous pitch, but ending with a defeated tenor. Sesshomaru smirked arrogantly, flashing his fangs.
"You wish to threaten me, feline?" Sesshomaru hissed, his claws glowing with the same green poison that took Hiten's life. Harley was scared stiff as the male inu youkai stepped forward, dragging his captive with him.
"Sesshomaru, p-please..." Whitney pleaded, frightened by her boyfriend's advance on her cousin.
"Shut up, you incolent bitch! You will do what This Sesshomaru says, or face the consequences." Sesshomaru tightened his grip on her, breaking one of her lower ribs with a loud snap. Whitney winced, tears brimming in her violet eyes. She fell against Sesshomaru, stifling a sob.
"Whitney!" Harley screamed, dropping her stick as her hands were brought to her mouth in shock. Inuyasha growled, stepping forward to confront his deranged sibling.
"What the fucking hell do you think you are fucking doing you fucking asshole!" Inuyasha yelled. Sesshomaru glared evilly, the crimson in his eyes growing deeper.
"What can you do about it, half-breed? If you attack me, you attack her." Sesshomaru thrust Whitney before him, flinging her around by her arm. She squealed in fear, tears falling down her pale face.
"I will be rid of you both." Sesshomaru flung his fist around to quickly for Inuyasha to dodge. The hanyou was sent flying backwards as Sesshomaru's fist landed hard on his jaw. Inuyasha fell onto his back, his head knocking against the hard cement. He didn't get up.
"One down, one to go." Sesshomaru whispered, his eyes averting to the neko demoness who had seeked Inuyasha's protection moments before. His eyes flashed cruelty, and his aura was giving off the very essence of Hell.
"Harley...run." Whitney begged quietly. The neko seemed to be in another world, and snapped out of her reverie at her cousin's warning. She turned, running at full speed. Sesshomaru threw Whitney over his shoulder, making her whimper in pain as her wound came in contact with his bone.
Harley ran through the deserted field near the school, noticing the dark clouds gathering on the horizon as thunder rumbled in the background. Light droplets of rain sprinkled onto the tall green grasses in the field as the neko continued to be chased by the inu youkai. She could tell that he was gaining on her, and she was fueled by nothing but fear as she ran, leaping over the small riverbank that seperated the field from the local cemetary.
The atmosphere in the graveyard was dismal, dark stones being covered by a mossy veil and cracked marbles giving off the air of shattered lives. Harley continued to run, vaguely noticing that she was slowing. She glanced behind her to see if she had escaped, and didn't notice the gravestone in her path. The small block of granite was darkened by the rain, which had continued to fall until it was a heavy sheet. The neko tripped, her right foot catching under the hunk of stone. She reached her arms out in front of her to help block her fall. With a stinging pulse of pain, Harley realized that she had injured her ankle.
"Harley, keep running, wherever you are!" Whitney screamed, as she was unable to see over Sesshomaru's head. She felt Sesshomaru halt, and a cold feeling encased her heart, sending her mind into numbness. She looked up as far as possible, and saw, to her horror, that Harley was curled up on the ground in front of a large gravestone of an angel. She was cradling her bleeding ankle, and didn't seem to notice the demon before her.
"Harley!" Whitney warned, angering Sesshomaru, who had desired to surprise the demoness.
"You need to learn your place, filthy bitch!" Sesshomaru flung Whitney over his back, and into the marble statue. Her wrist broke upon impact, and she crumpled beside Harley.
"Whitney, are you okay?" Harley asked, gasping when she heard the snap of breaking bone. Lightning flashed behind the dog demon, his fangs flashing as he grinned down at the two injured girls.
"Any last words?" Sesshomaru spoke in a gruff tone. His right hand was raised, the tips filled with venomous liquid. He didn't wait for a response, however, and his claws slashed down upon Harley. They ripped long scratch marks, four in total, across her stomach.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Harley screamed, clutching her torso in agony. Her eyes widened, and she took a short gasp of breath as the poison took its tole. Then she slumped over, her head banging against the cold ground. Whitney was alone.
"HARLEY! Are you alive! Harley! Don't leave me alone!" Whitney cried, tears falling down her cheeks. She was too blinded by her pain to hear her cousin's faint heartbeat.
"Now it's your turn! Die, Whit-" Sesshomaru started, but stopped midsentence. His eyes flickered momentarily as he stared down at her beaten form. Golden orbs appeared from the red sea. "Whitney?" He asked, his tone shocked.
"S-Sesshomaru?" Whitney asked uncertainly, looking up questionably.
"What are you doing here?" Sesshomaru asked, glancing around at his surroundings, taking in the graveyard, the rain, and the nearly lifeless form of Harley.
"Sesshomaru...I hate you! I hate you I hate you I hate you!" Whitney screamed, jumping up wearily and pounding her fists against his chest. Tears streamed down her face as she continued to beat on him ineffectively.
"Whitney, what...?" Sesshomaru inquired, his eyes returning to the scarlet form they had been previously.
"Sesshomaru...no..." Whitney buried her head into his chest. "Please..." It was useless though. He grabbed her shoulders roughly, pushing her away from him. He encircled her throat with his hand, extending her up towards the sky, as if to sacrifice her to the gods. Whitney tore at his fingers with both hands, desperately trying to regain oxygen. He peered at her with merciless, blood red eyes, squeezing harder as Whitney's struggles became weaker and more like nimble movements.
"Sessh...omaru...ple...ase.." Whitney squeaked out, before her head lolled backwards. Lightning flashed, illuminating the cemetary. Sesshomaru's eyes flashed along with the lightning. His golden eyes examined the scene with a horror he had never felt before. He saw the girl in his grip, and immediately brought his other arm out behind her to support her back, releasing his strangling fingers from their entwinement around Whitney's neck. (Aww)
"What...have I done?" Sesshomaru questioned, looking at the dying girl in his arms. "Tenseiga...I must get it." He was about to leave when he heard another faint heartbeat. Harley was lying on the ground near a statue, her ankle and stomach bleeding profusely. He looked at her stomach wound, and realized quickly that he had created it. Sesshomaru walked over to her, picking the neko up as well. "I need to hurry, or you may both die."
As Sesshomaru ran at top speed towards his home, Harley awoke from her unconciousness briefly. "What about Inuyasha? I think you knocked him out." She said, her eyes closing once more, as both their heartbeats stopped.
"I will go back for him later," Sesshomaru commented. He continued until reaching the Takomi home. He didn't bother to open the door, preferring to knock it off its hinges. InuTashio ran down the stairs after his sensitive nose caught the distinctive scent of blood.
"What the fuck!" InuTashio yelled, assuming that his eldest son had finally snapped, murdering his youngest, and killing these two girls as well.
"This Sesshomaru has no time for questions. Where is Tenseiga?" Sesshomaru insisted. InuTashio obviously caught on to his intentions, and hurried back up the stairs.
"What is going on- oh dear God." Izayoi stopped her descent down the stairs. "Are they okay? What happened? Where is Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru ignored her questions as his father returned with Tenseiga in hand.
Setting Harley and Whitney down on two mats which Izayoi managed to prepare during the confusion, Sesshomaru held Tenseiga in striking position. Closing his eyes, he struck down on them, revealing small black soul-collecting creatures. He sliced through them easily, and the two girls stirred faintly, their quickening heartbeats reassuring the demons in the room that both Harley and Whitney would be fine. Of course, it took much longer to convince Izayoi, who eventually agreed to calm down as long as she was allowed to watch over the demonesses while they slept off their injuries.
After seeing that the two would make it, and that his eldest was watching them like a hawk, InuTashio ran to the school to retrieve his youngest son. When he got there he noticed a band of youkai getting ready to surround his body. He growled and readied to attack, needless to say, they ran off pissing their pants.
He bent over his son, and could easily tell that he was just knocked out. He picked up his limp form, and molded him to his body, cradling his son like the pup he still was in his eyes. He ran to his house running as fast as he could. When he got there he found his oldest just staring at the girls. His face was as passive as ever, but his eyes held that of one deeply scared and confused. He went to say something when the hanyou in his arms began to stir.
"Damn you, Sesshomaru. I'll get you for this fucking head ache." Inuyasha grumbled, not opening his eyes as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ahem."
Inuyasha's eyes opend instantly and stared into that of his fathers. "Err... I said Freaking?"
InuTahsio just chuckled and said, "I'll let it go this time, pup. Are you able to stand?"
"Huh?" Inuyasha asked, confused. He looked around him to find himself in his dad's arms. "Yeah!" He jumped out as fast as possible and landed between Harley and Whitney. He looked down and paled, his ears flattening on his head. "What happened to them? The last thing I remember was a fist flying towards me..."
"What happened before that?" InuTashio inquired, determined to get to the bottom of this whole mess.
"Well, we were on our way to school, when Hiten was all like 'Whitney why?' and Fluffy was all like 'GRRR! Mine!' and me and Har were all like 'huh?' Then Fluffy is all like 'Rawr rawr! Die die!' then he killed this guy who-"
"No, you can't leave... your all I have left! Grr, damnit Harley get back here and undead yourself." Whitney mumbled, which turned into growling, which turned into Whitney sitting up and placing her hand on Harley's tail, which woke her up, which turned into: "YOU'RE ALIVE!" Whitney glomped Harley, trapping her beneath her. She held onto the most important person in her life with all her worth. Tears were falling out of both their eyes as they held onto each other, it was all peaceful until both demonesses stiffened.
Whitney turned her head slowly, as Harley pulled herself up to look over her cousin's shoulder, and they looked into the face of a, for some reason, half-naked Sesshomaru.
"AGHHHHHH!" They jumped up and fell against the wall. "Stay back!" Harley yelled, holding up her hands in defense, trying to push Whitney behind her. You see, Harley hadn't realized that Whitney wasn't as injured as she was before.
"You killed her! YOU KILLED HER! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE GOT BACK, AND I DON'T CARE, BUT YOU WILL NOT COME NEAR HER AGIAN!" Whitney screamed trying to push her cousin back, "Move, Harley! You already died, I'll take the next one!"
"NO! I-"
"No one is going to die." Sesshomaru stated blandly. The two cousins stopped their arguing over who would die this time when they noticed that Sesshomaru wasn't trying to kill them.
"Why isn't he trying to kill us?" Whitney whispered to Harley, for once not noticng the bare chested inu-youkai before her.
"I don't know." Harley furrowed her brow. "Oh, yeah, you carried us here, didn't you?"
"Yeah, well what the fu- I mean, what the frick is up with you?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow.
"YEAH!" Harley and Whitney said simultaneously.
"You killed us! Ya like, broke my rib, then picked me up by the neck! And you cut Harley's stomach open!" Whitney said, her tone rising.
"Ew." Harley stated, looking disgusted. "Nothing came out, did it?" No one, not even the demons in the room, noticed that the cousins were just hiding their fear behind jokes and comments.
"I don't think so...you still have your kidney and junk, right?" Whitney poked at the bandages around Harley's stomach.
"Will you two stop your insistant blabbering!" Sesshomaru growled, veiling his concern.
"Well sor-r-ry, that's how we deal with stress!" Whitney snarled, crossing her arms over her chest and accidentally bumping her injured wrist. "Ow!"
"That's gotta hurt." Harley commented, raising her eyebrows.
"You are doing it again!" Sesshomaru glared at them.
"Well, what are we supposed to say? How you killed Hiten...how you nearly choked me to death...how you made Harley hit her head...how you knocked out Inuyasha when you were using ME as your shield!" Whitney yelled.
"Actually, he did kill you...and he chased me into a graveyard, and he went all psycho 'die, die', and he flung you a lot..." Harley added, tilting her head in thought.
Whitney and Harley walked over to the couch, ploppig down lazily. Inuyasha sat down next to Harley, his arm draped around her shoulders. InuTashio sat down in the loveseat parallel to the couch, with Izayoi next to him. Sesshomaru sat down next to Whitney, who scooted over more into Harley, who scooted over more into Inuyasha, who was impaled into the arm of the couch. Unfortunately, Sesshomaru noticed this gesture, and was quite offended. In an effort to make her trust him more, he grabbed her arm, being sure to be careful of her injuries, and pulled her towards him gently. Automatically, Whitney grabbed Harley's arm, who grabbed Inuyasha's arm, who pulled her back, meaning Sesshomaru was now impaled into the other arm of the couch. After a few more minutes of this, the couch tipped over backwards, and three girly screams were heard.
"Inuyasha! You scream like a girl!" Whitney laughed, laying on Sesshomaru's lap, while Harley was under Inuyasha.
"Do not!" Inuyasha huffed angrily.
"She's right! You're worse than I am!" Harley giggled.
"And all this time I thought Fluffy was the second girl of the family..." Whitney pondered.
"For the last time, This Sesshomaru is NOT a girl! And secondly, can we please get off the floor?" Sesshomaru seemed a bit annoyed by the reference to his gender.
Whitney scrambled off of him, and then turned to find Harley under Inuyasha. "That's a funny position there... but I prefer it when Harley is able to breath." With that she pushed Inuyasha off of her cousin.
"Thank's Whitney, I think I was turning blue!" Harley giggled.
Whitney laughed and said,"You have no idea! Wait until you're strangled to death! It's like all the blood is rushing to your head, and then bam! It's gone. Kinda relaxing actually... once you get past the being dead part."
Harley rolled her eyes and helped her boyfriend up. Sesshomaru kind of flinched at the memory, but no one was watching him. Harley and Whitney were to busy trying not to laugh at Inuyasha's now mega worse, cow lick, while Izayoi and InuTashio couldn't see past the couch. After a second Sesshomaru realized the couch was still tipped back, so with one hand, he pushed it back over.
Whitney turned and said, "Now, everyon pick a cusion. There's only three so Harley and Inuyasha can share..."
"No way! You share with Sesshomaru!" Harley glared, blushing.
"Fine! But you have to... give me back my diary!" Whitney decalred. "And ALL the copies."
"Okay!" ''I'll just hide on of the copies.' Harley thought evilly. She plopped down on the middle cushion, fully covering it, on purpose, and indicating for Inuyasha to sit next to her. Inuyash plopped back down and put his arm back in its rigthful place at her shoulder.
Whitney glared daggers at her cousin and was about to sit down when she realized that she had way to much room in her shirt. She looked down to see a white muscle t-shirt covering her chest. "Damn! Whoever's this is must be friggin buff! It's like huge!"
"That would be mine." Sesshomaru mentioned, sitting down at the end of the couch, smirking slightly.
"Oops." Whitney laughed nervously. "That's why you don't have a shirt on... I thought you just like being naked." She blushed as a mental image tried to get into her head. She shook her head to disperse the thought, and walked over and sat halfway on Sesshomaru's lap and halfway on the couch. "Uncomfortable position here people..." She muttered. Harley was practically grinning, since she was always giddy when she got her way. Whitney went to glance at her cousin when she noticed her state of undress. "Hey, Har. Just wanted to say that err... you have no clothing on, just a bunch of gauges on your stomach and err... chest."
Harley eeped and covered herself. Inuyasha blushed slightly and took of his shirt, offering it to the neko beside him. (BARE CHESTED SESSHOMARU AND INUYASHA! MUST NOT DROOL! Too late...) Harley blushed and blinked repeatedly, and took the shirt.
InuTashio and Izayoi looked on as two girls sat in oversized shirts between two half naked men. Yep, life was surely looking... rather hentaish.
Whitney decided to ignore her embarassment and ask what the hell was going on. She turned her head to ask Sesshoamru when she came face to face with four punctures on his right arm. "Err... what's that? It looks like a snake bite. Do you have a snake?"
Sesshomaru looked down to his arm and shook his head once. "No, This Sesshomaru does not." He examined the mark as Whitney poked it.
"Well, it should have healed by now, so why is it still there? It looks huge! Like an anaconda! Those snakes are huge though, so how would it bite you without noticing it...?" She wondered aloud.
Harley looked at it closely and said, "It shouldn't be black like an infection. But I don't smell anything like a sickness coming from it... More like a spicyness like-"
"A spell!" Whitney and Inuyasha interrupted together.
"Hello? Not finished speaking here!" Harely growled. The two went still. "A spell is correct."
Whitney and Inuyasha did an anime fall. "Okay, fine. Spell got it. But who would want to put Sessh under a spell? It's not like some witch walking down the street said 'Hey! There's a hot catch! Let's put a spell on him and make him kill his own friends!' So, you have any enemies?" Whitney said sarcastically.
"None that are foolish enough to do such a thing." Sesshomaru stated. He was hiding the fact that he was enjoying Whitney sitting on his lap, though she wasn't.
"Do you two have any enemies?" Inuyasha asked in return, secretly, his brother and he knew the cousins had enemies, just not who.
"Er..." Harley started.
"I can think of a few...Kikyo, Kagura, Naraku, oh, and Harley's psychotic murderous dad." Whitney added, deciding it was best to leave out the part about the mafia.
"Her dad?" Everyone besides Harley replied.
"Yeah, my daddy killed my mom, and maybe my sister, and possibly Whitney's mom and dad...but we haven't seen him in like...eight months...that's why we moved here." Harley explained.
"It was a pain in the a- butt moving here. We should have stayed in Hiroshima. I told you that how many times? But no-o-o-o...Whitney is always ignored..." Whitney complained in a ranting style.
"I didn't like Hiroshima. I like Tokyo better!" Harley huffed in response.
"Well at least in Hiroshima, my face didn't always look like a cherry!" Whitney declared.
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but I'm interrupting." Izayoi smiled humorously.
"Does your father know enchantments?" InuTashio asked politely.
"Not that I know of...Harley's dad's weird like that. He's more like a 'I kill you now' guy." Whitney stated casually, shrugging her shoulders.
"O-o-o-kay..." Inuyasha tried to picture his dad chasing them around with a knife.
"Yeah...life is a bitch." Harley sighed plomping her head down on her hand.
"Excuse me? Somehow, I don't think life is anything like me." Whitney said, highly offended.
"Whatever, This Sesshomaru wants this mark removed, and he also wants to know more about today." Sesshomaru stated in a monotonous tone.
"Well, we could always go check out some enchantments involving animals..." Harley said encouragingly.
"Yeah, Fluffy. For now, I think the old man should know what went on today." Inuyasha said, pointing at his dad.
Sesshomaru nodded and was about so speak when Whitney said, "Err... do you even remember what you did?"
Sesshomaru looked at her for a minute. Flashes of killing the thunder demon, breaking Whitney's ribs, striking his brother, chasing the neko, and then using his calws ran through his mind. Finally, the last thing was choking Whitney to death. "Yes. This Sesshomaru remembers everything." He stated, looking away from everyone's eyes.
"Inuyasha never finished telling me what happened..." InuTashio trailed off, hoping for someone to answer.
?An Hour Later?
An hour, fifteen awkward silences, and some tears later, the story was told in full. "So, the worst thing that happened that was not taken care of was Sesshomaru killing the thunder demon?" InuTashio asked, raising an eyebrow.
Whitney nodded. "Yep, but I wonder why no one said anything..."
Inuyasha shrugged and said, "Demon Mating Rights."
"Eh?" Was the reply from the two demonesses.
"What does the DMR have to do with Sesshomaru killing my ex?" Whitney asked, confusion written all over her face.
Inuyasha sighed. "Dad and Sesshomaru know it better than me, so ask one of them."
"Will someone just tell us!" Harley said, glaring at the men in the room.
Sesshomaru sighed. "He violated the demon rights by trying to take Whitney away from me. As you know, dating is like courting in demon terms, just easier to be broken. So, when he tried to take Whitney away he violated the law that states, 'No other shall interfere with the courting of two persons. The alpha in the twosome shall punish as they see fit.'" He finished with a glare at the wall directly in front of him.
"So... you're off the hook?" Whitney asked hopefully.
Sesshomaru turned towards her, almost smiling at the way her and Harley's faces were alight with warm smiles, and their eyes glistening with hope. "Yes. I am not in any trouble with the law."
Harley noticed that they were hiding something so she tried to delve into their thoughts. She was repelled by Sesshomaru and InuTashio and Inuaysha didn't know what he was talking about, so that left... Izayoi.
.:Kami. Why isn't he telling her that he has to make the courting official. The girl is going to be mad when she finds out:.
Harley gasped and relayed the message to Whitney, via telepathy.
"WHAT?" Whitney yelled jumping up and staring at Harley.
"Err..."
"We haven't even gone on a date and he has to officially court me? GRRRRRRR! My life sucks BIG TIME!" Whitney huffed stomping her foot and walking into the kitchen. "I need a drink of water."
Inuyasha looked at Harley confused. "What just happened?"
Harley sighed. "She knows about having to fully court Sesshomaru, and I don't think she likes that too much..."
"Ya think?" Whitney yelled out into the living room.
"She must deal with what she has been given." Sesshomaru said, somewhat hurt by her reaction. Although he won't ever show it... cuz well he's Sesshomaru. (YEAH I hate that about him... Har: That's why you like him. Whit: I know...) "If she does not wish to court me than she can decline."
"But that would make it so you would have to seperate for a year." Inuyasha said, still confused.
"Yeah, and I don't think Whit wants that..." Harley said.
(Ding Dong) The doorbell went off. "I got it, Jaken." Whitney called. "Ugly toad." She walked past the group, not looking at any of them, and opened the door. In the door stood the monk that was talking to Inuyasha the day of the err... undergarment incident. "Hey, I know you!" Whitney chirped. "You're one of the guys Inuyasha was talking to when he called Har a sexy cat!"
"Yes, I am Miroku, and what is the name of such a lovely woman?" He said, taking her hand.
"I'm Whitney Takomi." She turned around to tell Inuyasha he was here when... (fondle, fondle) (Gasp) (Rub, Rub) She turned around and hit him repeatedly with her fist. "Stupid, stupid, hentai! Touch my ass again and it will be the last thing you ever touch with your hands or any other part of your body!"
"Ow! I- ow! Can't- ow! Help- ow! It- ow! My- ouch! Hand- ow! Is- ow! Cursed- ow!" Miroku yelped with each hit to his thick skull. Finally, Whitney calmed down. Of course all of the yelling attracted the group to the entrance.
"What's going on?" Harley asked, watching her fuming cousin. "Why are you beating up a poor, innocent monk!"
"He may be poor, but he belongs in the category opposite of innocent!" She growled, "He fondeled my ass!"
"What!" Sesshomaru exclaimed, his eyes narrowing at his brother's friend. "No one touches what belongs to This Sesshomaru." He growled, picking the already well-beaten monk up by the collar.
"DON'T KILL ANOTHER ONE!" Whitney said hurriedly, grabbing onto Miroku's waist and tugging him down.
"I rather like this position." Miroku grinned. Whitney let go immediately.
"Stupid monk, you're on your own. I'm going swimming." Whitney announced, flouncing off to her room. Sesshomaru dropped Miroku on his face, since the inu youkai was too busy looking at something else...namely, Whitney's butt.
"Uh, what are you staring at?" Inuyasha asked as he noticed the far off look in the elder brother's eyes. Sesshomaru snapped out of it and growled in annoyance.
"Nothing, baka." Sesshomaru snarled, heading out the doorway. "I believe I will swim as well." He mentioned, walking down the long corridor that led to the stairs. (Sesshomaru has left the building)
"So who are you?" Harley asked, turning to the monk.
"I, my lady, am Miroku." He smiled that smile that attracted almost every girl. 'What was Whitney talking about? He seems nice enough...' Harley thought.
"Oh hi, I'm Harley." She smiled, holding her hand out. Inuyasha stared on, fully alert of his friends wandering hands.
"Harley, will you do me the honor of bearing my children?" Miroku asked hopefully. Harley cringed.
"WHAT! Pervert!" She smacked him angrily, stalking off towards the pool.
"Watch it Miroku! Plus, are you asking for Sango to kill you? Stick to her for once!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes, walking off towards the pool as well.
Miroku stood there by his lonesome for several moments, before shrugging and strutting off in the direction of the pool.
?At the Pool?
Whitney sat on the diving board, glaring at Harley who had dunked her earlier. "Stupid, Puss." She mumbled. She didn't notice someone was slowly creeping down the board towards her angry form. She was just about to stand when something pushed on her shoulders. At the last second she grabbed ahold of the person who pushed her, and tumbled into the water with them.
She sputtered and coughed out water when she finally surfaced. Unfortunately, everyone was laughing and giggling at her misfortune. She turned when she heard a deep chuckle. She almost gasped when she came face to face with Sesshomaru's chest... again. "Err... you were the one who pushed me off?"
Sesshomaru nodded curtly. "This Sesshomaru did do so. What is a bitch like you gonna do about it?"
"Bastard." She muttered as she tackled him and went underwater with him. She held onto him as they sunk. She didn't understand why she was sinking when you're supposed to float, but when she looked down, she noticed he was propelling them down. 'Grrr... stupid!' she thought.
She glared at him under the water. 'Bastard' she mouthed, before clamping her teeth shut again. He just smirked and held them down. She tried to get back to the surface, but he wouldn't let her go. She narrowed her eyes and tried hitting him in the head. He just stood there, seeing how her attacks were quite harmless underwater.
She tried tugging herself out one more time, but he just held onto her waist. She began to panic. She hated being under water to long, it was a phobia of hers and she would do anything to get out right now. She began to point to the top but he just raised an eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and pointed to her throat and then to the surface, where she could see the other three looking down at them.
Sesshomaru shook his head, and stepped closer to her. With one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder, he bent down slightly. Whitney tilted her head, confused as to what he was doing. He smirked at her look of bewilderment, and bent down, kissing her on the lips. She was startled at first, but slowly closed her eyes, kissing him back.
When they finally pulled apart, they were really in need of air, and Sesshomaru allowed her to swim up to the surface, even helping her progress by lifting her up a bit. He followed after her, and they broke the water, gasping for breath. Whitney pulled herself out of the water, sitting on the edge near Harley, who was grinning wildly at her.
"Er...awkward silence much?" Inuyasha said after a few minutes of no conversation.
"Aw, how kawaii was that! Your first kiss under water!" Harley squealed, hearts in her eyes.
Whitney blushed crimson and said, "Leave me alone."
"Why, Lady Kyameron, we just want to know all the dirty, juicy details..." Miroku said, grinning lecherously.
"Grrrr... shut it you stupid monk." Whitney growled.
"Didn't you guys need to breathe?" Inuyasha asked.
"I needed too, but Sessh wouldn't let me."
"This Sesshomaru did not see you complaining..." Sesshomaru stated looking at her.
"Err..." She started and stopped, and then started again. "Uhh... that's besides the point."
Harley smiled. "Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"IS TOO! And besides! I'm not spying on you! Don't look at me while I'm underwater!" Whitney growled.
"YEAH! Don't look at Whitney while she's underwater! It will end the world!" Harley gasped sarcastically.
"Why you little-" Whitney splashed her friend.
"HEY! Watch what you're doing!" Inuyasha yelled. The splash had apparentley gottten him as well.
"Whatever... you guys wanna play a game of chicken?" Whitney asked excitedley.
"I love that game!" Miroku an Harley said together.
"Okay, I'll do the pairings... Inuyasha you hold up Har, and Sessh-you playing?- (she got a nod) you hold Miroku!" She pointed at the monk, who had suddenly paled. "What?"
"Actually, I think I'll sit this one out..." Miroku stated. "I'll referee! Everyone knows how honest I am."
"Fine! Me and Sessh vs. Har and Inu." Whitney announced.
"Okay, ready?"' Miroku asked as the girls were lifted up onto the boys shoulders.
"Yeah." Harley and Whitney said simultaneously.
"Get set...GO!" Miroku formed a whistle with his thumb and pointer finger and blew.
The guys stepped forward, Inuyasha grinning while Sesshomaru smirked. The girls had no idea that they just put themselves in reallly awkward positions. As they stepped closer, the guys locked their eyes on the battle above them, making sure to keep a tight grip on their partners.
"You're going down, Whit." Harley hissed playfully.
"Yeah and Elvis Presley is still walking the streets of L.A."
Harley grabbed Whitney's arm and pulled, but Whitney used her other arm to grip Harley's shoulder and push. That sent Harley wobbling for a second, but she gained her balance. "Hey Har? I was thinking about getting a dog... what do ya think?"
Harley glared. "If we get a pet, it will be a cat!"
"Over my dead body!"
"That can be arranged."
"Sorry, I already died today, That's enough to suit me for a week." They tried to ignore Sesshomaru's low growl, but he squeezed her thigh, which made her yelp, which gave Harley the upper hand, and she sent Whitney toppling backwards and into the water.
Whitney let go of his head as soon as she hit the water, and swam under his body. He didn't see her and kept sinking onto her... or did he see her? She glared and pushed him off of her, swimming to the surface. As she broke, Whitney could hear the laughter of a neko and inu-hanyou. "Grrr!" She said, crossing her arms.
"YAY! I finally beat you! YES!" Harley cheered from atop of Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah.Oh and Har, you might wanna hold your breath." Whitney mutterd.
"Why sh-" The next thing she knew she was pushed forward and into the water. She automatically tightened her thighs, and brought Inuyasha with her. Whitney laughed as Sesshomaru swam from behind them. "That was good."
"This Sesshomaru knows that." Sesshomaru said, coming to her side.
Whitney just rolled her eyes. As Harley broke the surface she glared at Whitney and Sesshomaru. "Who pushed me?"
"Gee, I dunno, I was right here the whole time, maybe my arm extended and went behind you like Mr.Fantasic.(Don't Own him) It was Sesshomaru." Whitney said, pointing at him and swimmming away from him.
"Grr... your dead MARU!" Harley yelled, splashing him. Inuyasha broke the surface just then, and also got splashed, and splashed Harley. Whitney who was giggling behind them all, got splashed by Miroku, who jumped into the water, and Miroku got splashed by Sesshomaru.
"Okay, OKAY!" Whitney yelled giggling. It did not stop.
"GRRR! She said STOP!" Harely hissed and growled.
Everything went silent, and then laughter broke. Everyone was giggling and laughing, well Sesshomaru just watched with a smirk and an amsed arch of his left eyebrow, but HEY! Everyone was happy.
"Woo. I haven't had so much fun since, since... uh give me a minute..." Whitney faltered. "Err... I give up. I haven't had fun in a long time."
Harley grinned. "You notice that everything funny always happens here?"
"The pool?" Inuyasha asked, pointing to the water.
"No, baka, your house." Whitney stated, waving her arms towards the large pool room. "Everything, funny, embarrassing, maddening, and crazy happens here."
"It wasn't like this when you guys weren't around!" Inuyasha growled in defense.
"For once, my little brother is correct. Our lives have become much more active since you have placed youself in them." Sesshomaru stated, smirking since he knew that would get a reaction. 'three, two on-' he thought.
"What is that suppposed to mean!" Whitney and Harley yelled angrily.
"What my bastard of a brother means," Cue Inuyasha smiling, and Sesshomaru growling, "Is that our lives are more eventful since we met you. Think about it, first we get a detention for unorthodox behavior,-" Cue Sesshomaru smirking- "then we get tied to the roof," -Sesshomaru growls- "next Sesshomaru went high on mating hormones-" -Sesshomaru smirks AND growls,- "And Sesshomaru killed us all. So I think that it's safe to say that our lives have err... enhanced in excitement."
Whitney and Harley's mouth were agape. They never realized how much trouble they caused. Then Sesshomaru had to go and make it worse, it was an accident though. "There is also the fact that your father is trying to kill you, our girlfriends."
The girls flinched. Now they really felt bad. They were putting their boyfriends, and everyone close to them at risk. If they got to close, then they could die. The girls began to pale as they relayed this thougt to each other. They gasped as mental images of their friend's bodies forced their way into their heads.
The boys noticed the girls stress, and Inuyasha swam over to hug Harley. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his body. At first she just swam into his embrace and stilled herself. Gradually, she moved her arms to encircle his neck, and pulled her head up to rest against his neck. Inuyasha put his chin atop of her head, and listened as she purred in content. "What's wrong, Har? You look like you've seen a ghost." He chuckled.
Harley shook her head and rubbed her face against his shoulder. "I just didn't realize how much chaos we caused..." She decided to leave out the death part for now. She and Whitney had come up with a plan. If any more attacks happened again, on anyone, they would leave. No if's and's or but's.
"Oh. That's okay. I don't know about Fluffy, but I like my new life style." He made small imaginary cirlcles on her back with his hand. "I don't have to go out anywhere for something interesting."
Harley giggled and started to play with his hair. He let out a purr. "Hey! You purr like me!"
"It's a contented growl." came three voices.
?Whit and Sessh?
Sesshomaru noticed Whitney's pale complexion, and entwined his fingers in hers, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze. She lifted her gaze from the waters surface, where she had been blankly watching the sunlight dance upon the small ripples.
"Don't worry, This Sesshomaru will protect you." Sesshomaru stated in a calming tone. Whitney smiled weakly, allowing for her eyesight to drop back to the water. Sesshomaru sighed, releasing her hand and using it to instead lightly push her chin back up. He forced her to look him in the eyes, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Thanks." Whitney smiled, hugging him before turning around to come face to face with Miroku. "AHHH!" Whitney screamed, surprised at his sudden appearance.
"Way to ruin the moment." Inuyasha mentioned off-handedly, causing Whitney and Harley to blush.
"Don't mind me, continue, continue!" Miroku urged, a creepy glint in his violet eyes.
"Um, yeah, well, uh..." Harley stuttered, pulling away from Inuyasha.
"So, er, what do you guys wanna do?" Whitney asked, looking around the group.
"I dunno, what do you wanna do?" Harley shot back, a smirk on her lips.
"Don't do that! You know I hate it when people do that!" Whitney growled, angered by her cousin's antics.
"Whatever, let's just do something!" Harley rolled her eyes, yawning loudly.
"Why are you yawning?" Miroku asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because I'm tired. Why else would I yawn? Not cause I'm ready to power-shop." Harley snapped, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yeah, I'm pretty beat too. It was a long day." Whitney stretched her arms out, shivering slightly.
"Well then we better get out of the pool." Inuyasha recommended, and the rest of the group nodded, climbing out of the cool water.
After they had dried off and bid farewell to Miroku, whose final words were 'I shall be back, my ladies!' before being pushed out the door, they headed down the hall. Harley was in a particularly bad mood after being given three demonstrations at once as to how inu youkais dry off, and she was now sopping wet.
"Hey Harley, guess what? You smell like wet dog." Whitney said bubbly, enjoying her cousin's discomfort.
"Yes Whitney, I know smell like you, him, and him. I reek of you guys. And I'm wet...wetter. Thank you all, for making me smell like a sopping wet dog!" Harley said sarcastically.
"I think it improves you, Harley." Whitney mentioned, aggrivating the neko further.
"I think I didn't ask you." Harley growled, wringing her hair out as she walked.
"Well I'm going to bed, night guys." Whitney said, starting on her way up to her room. She stopped halfway up the staircase, looking down hesitantly. "Harley, sleep with me tonight! I'm scared."
"Oh, so now you wanna play nice? Well I got news for you. I'm sleeping in my own bed, by myself, in my own room." Harley smiled at her friend, walking past her.
"Wait! Please!" Whitney begged, unknowingly causing a small ping in Sesshomaru's heart.
"No. Goodnight, Whitney. If anything happens, call my cell phone." Harley added, sighing.
"Fine. Be that way." Whitney growled, stomping to her room. "Bicth," she muttered under her breath. Harley shook her head, opening her own door and closing it behind her.
The guys watched as the girls walked into their rooms, shutting them out for the night. Or so they thought...
?Around Midnight?
Inuyasha woke up suddenly, sweating and panting. "Man, that was one fucked up dream. I wasn't even there when Sesshomaru killed her." The vision of Harley hitting her head and dieing replayed over and over in his head, unwillingly. He tried to go back to sleep but the images wouldn't go away.
Inuyasha sighed and stood up, walking towards his door. When he reached his destination, he was surprised to smell is brother's scent coming from down the hall. He shrugged and walked into Harley's room.
He was immediately bombarded with the scent of fear, sweat, and his worst nightmare, tears. You see, every guy hates it when a woman cries. It's some stupid thing they have messed up in their heads, but one can use it to her advantage... Inuyasha walked over to the bed and stood over Harley, looking down at her face. Her eyes were squinted shut, and her mouth as slightly open. He could just barely make out the words, "Stay back... don't go... you have to run..."
He sighed and brushed a stray piece of hair from her face. She whimpered and grasped onto his hand, then giving it a tug. He chuckled and pulled his hand away. Then he sighed and pulled the blankets back, the hentai part of him wishing she slept in the nude. He sighed with relief or aggrivation, he didn't know which, and looked at the pink gown she was wearing. It was kind of lopsided, so he could see most of her outter thigh. He blushed lightly and walked to the otherside of the bed.
He grabbed the blanket and pulled it back, climbing into the bed with her. He grinned as she sighed, trying to get closer to his warmth. He gave her a feather light kiss on the corner of her mouth, which her lip twitched too, and grasped her waist in his claws. He spooned her body against him, and fell asleep in minutes.
?With Sessh and Whit?
Sesshomaru was lying on his back in his bed, sleeping lightly, when all of a sudden his golden eyes shot open, revealing only to the dark his slight fear and concern. His eyes darted across the room, trying to decide if he was in the graveyard, or still in his room. To his relief he was in his bed, but it was short-lived when the memories of his dream came flooding back to him.
He thought it strange on how the moment he killed Whitney, he had gained control. He guessed it was because the person controlling his body believed them to be dead. Which they were, but they didn't know that he could bring them back.
He smirked grimly at the thought of what his enchanter would do when they found out they had failed. He suddenly looked down at the snake bite. He growled at how the animal had some how caught him off guard. But he couldn't for the life of him figure out when a snake had bitten him. Sesshomaru sighed again and decided to check on his guest.
He made his way to Whitney's room, not making a sound as his feet patted aginst wood and carpet. When he finally reached her door, he was alarmed to smell the distinctive scent of fear, sorrow, and anger. He opened the door quickly, but still silently, and stepped into the room. He saw Whitney tossing her head from side to side on her pillow. She was growling and whimpering, mumbling, "I can't believe you killed them... how?... no control..." He sighed and walked towards her, putting a hand on her blanket covered chest to keep her still. She snarled, and he thought she would wake, but she fell back to sleep, this time peacefully.
He noticed that she had been sweating and wiped it of her brow. He was thinking about turning around and returning to his room when flashes of her choking to death entered his mind. He growled low and stalked to the other side of the bed. He noticed that she was tangled up in her blanket, and that she was- er, half-naked. She was wearing simply her bra and underwear, and the blanket didn't help cover much. Sesshomaru climbed into the bed, sliding next to her and turning her to face him. She groaned and said, "Close the door..." He gave a faint, almost unnoticable smile, and pulled her close by her back.
To his surprise she wrapped her arm around his waist and snuggled closer to his chest. Sesshomaru tightened his grip on her waist and rested his head on her left shoulder. He fell asleep with his legs trapping her own in between his.
