Anyways, I'll stop being a review-craving idiot, and just update within my own pace from now on. My computer has given up on me for the moment, so I'm using one at my friends place.
Also, don't know if you've noticed, but I've changed the genre of the story to General, because no matter how much i want it to be drama/romance, it still ends up being a pretty fair mix of a few others as well...
Actually, I've found a mistake on my part in chapter 5. it says Sesshomaru has written a thing in kanji with seaweed on the rice. who wants seaweed on their rice? it's supposed to be the sauce that you see in most animes, mostly shaped as hearts in those though. Anyone know what this sauce-thing is named? As soon as I know, I will update that chapter.
Well then, let's start!
::Disclaimer:: I do not own any of the characters of inuyasha, neither do I own any of the characters from Card Captor Sakura, XXXHolic or Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.
These titles are owned by Rumiko Takahashi (Inuyasha) And CLAMP (Tsubasa, CCS, XXXHolic). There, hope I made myself clear enough.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chapter 11: Wake up!
------------------------------------
Inutaisho was laying lazily on his bed, half asleep.
"Inutaisho-sama," a voice said, "I'm worried that Naraku will make his move soon, and Sesshomaru still isn't ready."
"I understand your worry, Myouga, but be at ease, I have already sent two of my bodyguards to watch over him from a distance."
"I see, my lord. well thought."
------------------------------------
Sakura was sitting in the livingroom, looking at Syaoran with unfocused eyes. her hair was unkempt and her blue dress dirty, stained with alcohol and food from the past days mindless indulgance.
"Where is my liquor?" she asked.
"You're not getting any more liquor." sesshomaru answered, as he entered the room.
"What! but I need it!" Sakura cried out, like a child who doesn't get his candy.
"Nothing good has come from the past days, and nothing will if you continue like this" came sesshomarus cold answer.
Skaura began to use the only weapon that had worked the previous 3 days. She began crying.
"Oh no, that's not gonna work again" Sesshomaru said, walking up to Sakura, grabbing her by the shoulders.
"Have you even thought about Rin these past days? She's in pain knowing you abuse yourself like this!" he was getting angry with her. "And what about me? what do you think seeing my mother acting like a real drunkard is making me feel? And look at Father!" he said, casting a glance over at his master.
"Sesshomaru, that's enou.." Syaoran started, but was cut off by sesshomarus burst of angry words
"No, it's not enough! You're too nice and quiet for your own good! I want my mother back, even if I need to be cruel!"
Turning back to Sakura, who was now looking at her son with eyes wide open, he continued.
"Stop acting like an idiot, and start living your life again, or I will take Rin with me and move"
At this, Sakura gasped loudly
"We will stop being your children and forget about you, and live our lives alone! She needs you to be the Stable woman you were when I was young!" Sesshomaru was at this point running out of steam.
"She is the closest I've ever been to having a real sibling, and i don't want anything to hurt her, you understand?" he let her go, and she dropped to the floor, crying honest tears.
"The rest is up to you, Mother. But remember, I will take necessary actions if forced." Sesshomaru said, with icy voice, as he turned towards the door."Master Syaoran, come with me please" he said, and left.
------------------------------------
"Wasn't that a bit harsh?" Syaoran asked as he came out to where Sesshomaru was sitting on the porch. He sat down beside his pupil, his baggy military pants rustling a little, as his black t-shirt was moved by a sudden gust of wind.
"It was necessary to be so harsh, master" Sesshomaru replied." I had to make her understand. please, take care of her, I'm off to the dojo. I need to clear my mind"
with that, Sesshomaru, dressed in a wine-reddishly (A.N: or whatever it's called) long sleeved shirt, black jeans pants and his white sneakers, walked off down the road.
------------------------------------
Syaoran went back into the living room, only to be quickly enveloped by the arms of Sakura, still crying.
"H-he w-was s-s-serious, hic, wasn't he?" she asked, holding on to Syaoran tightly.
"Your son never say something he does not mean at least partionally. So if you want them to continue being your children, you should probably do as he says. I'll help you out." Syaoran said with a smile.
Sakura managed to calm down, and seemed to realize something.
"He called you father just now, didn't he?" she said, with a small hint of surprise in her voice. "He never called Genjiro that, not even once..."
Syaoran helped Sakura over to the couch so she could sit down. he then sat down beside her.
"It's something we've been doing for the past 6 or 7 years. He really hated Genjiro, you know. The only reason he acted normally cool with him was for your sake. when he found out Genjiro were cheating on you with his boss..." Syaoran looked off into the distance."I've only seen him loose it so greatly a few times before, and honestly, it scares me." he looked over at Sakura again.
"Him getting that mad about it, you're really important to him, you know?" Syaoran said. "It was Genjiro, and someone named Inu-something that he was so angry with. He told me. Right before we came to pick you up." Syaoran rose up from the couch, turned to Sakura, and held out his hand, to help her up.
"Sesshomaru is at the dojo, cooling his head off with some training. You better take a shower and change your clothes before he comes back, to show him you're serious about wanting the family to stay together. You can stay here, all three of you, until you find something of your own." With that, Syaoran walked into the kitchen, preparing to make dinner
------------------------------------
Sesshomaru was a little exhausted when he, newly showered, exited the dojo. He started walking towards the Higurashi shrine, to pick up Rin. It was time to see how things would turn out. While walking there, he started humming a small tune.
While going downtown, he saw Inuyasha and Kagome, walking from shop to shop.
"I'll have to put her against the wall to, it seems" he breathed out, to tired to be infuriated
He arrived at the Higurashi shrine without any problems, and found Rin and Souta playing in the front yard, with an old man sitting on the front porch, watching over them. The old man was dressed in a shinto-priest garment, in white and blue colors, and his hair was grey.
"Excuse me, I'm here to pick up Rin." He said to the old man, who looked up at him.
"I suppose you are Sesshomaru then, Rin-chans big brother?" he asked.
"Yes, that is correct"
"Great. My name is Genma Higurashi, Soutas grandpa."
"Oho, you made the necklace that Kagome gave to Inuyasha then. I respect you for your powers, wise man" he said, bowing before the old man.
"Oh, come on now, you better stop or I'll get a swelled head" the old man said, scratching his head
"Well, my respect you have in any case." He turned towards the playing kids. "Rin! time to come home!" he shouted, to get her attention.
"Aah! Onii-chan!" rin shouted happily, launching herself in his direction. Souta followed shortly after.
"Before I forget, here" Sesshomaru said, handing a piece of paper to Genma. "It's my phone number, would you pleas give it to Kagome?" and then he turned to souta. "If you want to talk to me or Rin, you may call anytime." he took Rin by the hand, and walked away.
Genma watched after him for a while, not sure why Sesshomaru had seemed so familiar.
Then it hit him, the mark on his forehead. The crescent moon.
"Souta! what is your connection to that man?" he asked, scared.
"Huh? he saved my life once, why?"
"Keep away from him! He's dangerous! The crescent moon is the mark of Inutaisho, the Demonlord!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Soil: Well! what do you think now then? The plot thickens, and more romance is on the way, for some of the characters at least. more school life trouble for Sesshomaru as well, with his "birthday" coming up :D. Hope you've noticed that I've at least tried to add a little more descriptions to the surrounding areas and clothings of the characters. As said in the beginning, I will update at my own pace, and do my best, even without a computer at home.
And now, a thanks to the people that made me remember i even had a fanfic up here to begin with :p
amber nelson - Here is the long awaited update. hope you like it :D
Maede Kameko - well, I'm trying to stop being a review-craving (beep), and I'm a little happy actually, more addicting than cigarettes... First time for everything i suppose. and oh, syaoran/sakura fluff is schedueled :D
Akiko - Nice you think my story is cute and who knows, I'm planning on adding a bit more romantic influences from now on too, so maybe they'll wind up somewhere totally different than I want. Stories do live their own life, after all :D
Mizuki - First of all, thanks for the words of praise, and yet another thanks for pointing out my mistake during the gunshot-scene in chapter 6. If you check it again, it should be different now. I just hope it was a good adjustment I made. Too bad it's not Sakura from Naruto :p if you want to check it, try getting ahold of either Card Captor Sakura or Tsubasa Chronicles, and she's there :D Sesshomaru and Kagura, huh? well, let's see what the future brings, shall we? -
Well, thats that. I'll update when I'm ready, hopefully within a few weeks. Soil out.
