A/N First I'd like to address my old reader, well, one of which who I know is out there, and others which... might be and I just don't know. I love you all. XD
I acknowledge the last chapter wasn't that funny. But, hopefully you remember that things start picking up more once Kate gets into the story. I'm going to try and keep it as funny as I can, because that's the point of the story, but I also am striving to keep it more in character this time, which adds a bit more of a challenge. XD
Anyways, lots of love to everyone that's reading this. I hope you enjoy it. 3
Also, I apologize if I'm inaccurate on things; I haven't actually watched InuYasha in quite a while.
As a bit of a side-note, I'd like to remind you I have absolutely nothing at all against gays, in fact, I believe my dogs are... Anyways, the point is that I don't mean to insult anyone.
Right now I didn't know what I was more annoyed with; Sesshoumaru and InuYasha alone in my room or her standing in my doorway. At this point, I was ready to shut the door, and just walk away. Don't get me wrong, she was one of my best friends and everything but she never calls me, e-mails me, or visits, and now she was standing on my doorstep. Well, now I guess it's unfair to say that she never visits. Still, I didn't want to be dealing with her right now. "Kate, why are you here?" You would think I'd be happier to see her, but right now, it was just inconvenient.
For what seemed like an hour she just stood there with a very vacant expression on her face. Kate wasn't even looking at me; she was staring at the wall behind me. After a moment though, my question seemed to click in that wonderful little brain of hers. "Oh, my parents dropped me on the side of the road again, randomly, so... I thought I'd come here!" The girl was about the perfect contrast to me, happy, hyper, and... Well Kate was just downright weird.
"You can't be here now; Mocha and Duke have some friends over." So neither of the dogs actually liked the new visitors, but I really didn't want her here.
At that point she looked incredibly excited. "Are they having a coming out party?!" She had thought they needed one for quite a while now.
An exasperated sigh escaped from me and I shook my head. "They're not gay poor Mocha is just a little confused."
"Is there puppies?! I want to see, I want- want-" Oh, that girl never shut up! "Puppies! I want to see the puppies!" Apparently she had reverted back to the mindset of a two-year-old. I shouldn't say reverted, because I don't think she actually ever left that mindset. "Oh, that reminds me..." She pulled out a necklace, which was very similar to InuYasha's and rather ineloquently flung it at me. "I found that for you!"
"How do puppies remind you of...?" I looked down at the necklace, thinking about it for a moment. Actually, that could come in really handy. "Thanks Kate."
Now... she was staring past me again. This time it wasn't at the wall though. Apparently Sesshoumaru was too good to do what I told him and stay in my room on the bed. That of course meant that InuYasha had to come too, because heaven forbid his brother got all the fun. Kate had spotted him and was looking at him with big eyes. "Ara... who's the gay guy?!"
Sesshoumaru seemed to be slightly intrigued, but still looked... rather stoic. At this point I was wondering if his face would shatter, if he showed any kind of emotion. It was quite possible. We'd have to figure out the science behind it later on, maybe even test the theory. "Go jump in a closet." Was my annoyed grumble, was this really happening?
"Right, because he totally needs to come out." Kate spoke in a rather cheerful tone, staring at the two of us.
Poor Sesshoumaru looked rather annoyed that he was incapable of following this conversation. Maybe he thought his intelligence or dignity was threatened, the poor guy just didn't understand more modern day expressions. That might be in our best interest though, he might not take well to it being suggested he had a thing for other men.
"You just think everything is gay, don't you?" I sounded rather annoyed as I watched InuYasha, Sesshoumaru, and Kate. What trouble would they all get themselves into? Kate wasn't exactly the best influence.
"No, only your dogs, and those two guys..." Kate spoke in a rather matter-of-fact tone, like a four year old trying to make a point. "Are they together?! That's so cute!"
Was there even a point in explaining this? "No, they're brothers. That would be twisted incest."
"What are you two talking about?!" It was strange for InuYasha to be quiet that long and you would think he would have spoken up sooner. He walked over to Katie, and was now sniffing her in a very doggish way. Sesshoumaru on the other hand was looking at the three of us like a wolf stalking a bunny.
"Kate, I think you should take the dogs for a walk." I really wanted to get things sorted with InuYasha and Sesshoumaru before dealing with her too.
Katie looked incredibly excited with the suggestion and bounded over to InuYasha, nearly tackling him to the ground. "I don't see a collar! Is he licensed? You're going to get arrested Aranthi!"
InuYasha looked rather annoyed to have someone clinging off of him like that, and it didn't take long for Kate to be shoved back out the door. Well, that was the most useful thing InuYasha had done since he got here, and I quickly slammed the door, locking it.
"I'm out of here!" InuYasha announced.
"You don't want to do that!" Now I needed... a reason.
"Why not?!" This was going to turn into a yelling match if we weren't careful.
"Because she's out there." That was a good reason, right?
He seemed to think that was good enough and quickly went to sit on the couch that was across from the one Sesshoumaru was in.
"Okay, now..." I took in a deep breath, standing against the window, staring at them both. "I don't know how either of you got here, but, there's some things we need to go over." I murmured, not sure where to start. There was a loud thud behind me and I jumped, turning around. There was Kate, on the deck with her face pressed against the glass of our French Doors, staring into the living room. With one fluid motion I drew the curtains shut and turned my attention back to the males. Both of them now were standing up with swords drawn at each other.
Was there even a point in trying to stop them? There was a blur in front of me, and soon enough Kate was latched onto InuYasha again.
"How... did you get back in here?!" That girl couldn't take a hint, could she? I didn't want her!
"Your brother left the window in the bathroom open!" She sounded proud of herself, and InuYasha looked ready to kill her.
Getting everything worked out wasn't going to be easy.
