I know, I know, I haven't updated in over two weeks. Feel free to yell at me because I know I needed to update, like, a week and a half ago. Review, and enjoy, though! This chapter's long(er) to compensate for the wait. I was going to post this yesterday, but Fanfiction wouldn't let me log in.
Chapter 7
Kagome texted Sesshomaru, saying,
Um, Sesshomaru-sama? I'm ready to give you the answers you want now... I'll try to make sure Sango won't bother you again! Text back.
-Kagome Higurashi
The taiyoukai replied,
I'll be right there, miko. I want my answers.
-Sesshomaru
As soon as Sesshomaru replied, Sango moved around the apartment in a flurry of activity. She removed all signs of her and Miroku's presence, and stuffed Inuyasha's stuff in one of the recently emptied cabinets. She, along with the monk and hanyou, set up a trap in the couch cushions that somehow triggered and made one stuck to the couch when sat upon.
Kagome had no idea that Sango was so good with mechanics and whatnot. As soon as they were finished, Miroku hid under the couch, Inuyasha in the cabinets with his stuff (and the remaining food), and Sango behind the television cabinet. When Kagome looked around, she couldn't see any of them.
"Perfect!" she called out. Kagome sat on the safe section of the couch and waited for the doorbell to ring. She folded her hands on her lap.
As it happens, the doorbell did not ring. Sesshomaru simply opened the door and invited himself in. Kagome stood up, walked over to him, and invited him to sit on the couch as they talked.
He ignored her, but did sit on the couch. However, he sat on the wrong section of the couch, the one that didn't trigger when sat upon. No, you weren't supposed to do that! Kagome thought.
She sat down on the other couch, the one that Miroku was under. "Um, so, what's your question?"
"First, why did you set a trap that triggers when sat upon under the other cushion of this couch?"
Kagome started. "W-why would I do that?"
"To trap me for one reason or another, obviously. Next question. Why is the monk under the couch you are sitting upon?"
"The answer to that question is, I don't know."
"Why is the annoying taijiya behind the television cabinet?"
"The same reason that Miroku is under the couch I'm sitting on."
"Hmph. Miko, I cannot seem to get a straight answer out of you, but there is one last question. Why is that baka hanyou in your kitchen cabinets?"
"For food, obviously. He's been in there all day."
"Hmph," Sesshomaru repeated. He stood up and strode to the door in one fluid movement- and a weighted net came crashing down upon him, along with part of the ceiling. "Oops..." Sango called out from behind the television. "I didn't mean to break the ceiling, too..."
"I didn't know you had set up a weighted net trap too!" Kagome exclaimed. "Ingenious!"
"Thanks, Kagome-chan! Now, what to do about the demon on the floor..." Sango scooched out from behind the television and walked over to Sesshomaru, who had moved himself into an upright position.
"This Sesshomaru will not be humiliated by such worthless humans!" He tried to stand up, only to have a barrier of blue light enfold him and knock him to the ground again.
"Sorry, Sesshomaru-sama..." Kagome said apologetically. Sango giggled. "I got Miroku to create a barrier thingamajig around the net so that you couldn't get out."
"Yeah, but I have a net in my house?"
"Yup. I found it buried deep in your closet."
