Blahh. I was away at summer camp if anyone read my notice on my bio. So yea I'm sorry about the delay! My parents sprung the camp onto me as a surprise and before I knew it, I've left my reader's hanging, and I was at camp where technology was not allowed.
I do not own inuyasha!
And I think by now, you get at least somewhat of an image of what this is about..right?
Toga gave off a feral growl as he entered his son's home. The sparkling mansion and home-y spirit that Kagome had created when she lived in the house had not done its job at soothing his beast.
Just as he was to sniff out his son, an ear-splitting scream erupted through the silent air.
"You! YOU DO NOTHING RIGHT!" a fish demoness shouted at one of the water demoness who just stood there with a raised eyebrow at the accusing finger pointed at her direction.
"Nemi-baka, please. Shut up," the servant stated, going back to wiping the table.
'She seems so familiar' Toga pondered as he looked over the water demoness.
Just then, Nemi's overly manicured hand struck out and gripped Nanami's sparkling navy blue hair.
Toga felt rage well-up inside of him, never in his life has he seen such a stupid mistress for a house!
As he was to make his presence known to the idiot and the rebelling maid, Nanami, surprised both of them by bursting into droplets of water and reappearing a few feet away from Nemi.
Toga blinked, watching as Nanami's shining dark teal eyes glinted with malice.
Nanami took out a knife from her a hidden strap on her thigh, cutting her hair up to shoulder length, she held at least 2 feet of dark navy blue stands of silk.
Nemi watched with her eyes widen in horror, along with her lips parted in slight disbelief as the strands floated from Nanami's hands to settling in mid-air. The slacken strands straighten as Nanami's eyes steeled themselves.
Quickly, as if they where shot from a barrel of a gun, the strands of hair hurled themselves at Nemi in a surprisingly fast manner. Nemi screamed, throwing her arms around her head. The many strands gazed her body, leaving her filled with clean, but shallow cuts. All of the strands then embedded themselves quiet deeply into the granite counter in the kitchen.
"Listen here, Sushi, I don't give a damn if you owned the whole fucking world, you lay more hand on me, I swear to Buddha and all the of the heavenly gang, I will fucking strangle you in the water your family resides in, got it?" Nanami growled; the clashing of angry waves shown in her deep turquoise eyes.
Nemi trembled, but nodded at Nanami anyways. The navy haired demoness maid smirked with triumph, and stuck out her arm again. Nemi flinched at her action as Nanami closed her fist, the cut-off strands of silky navy blue was once again reunited with it's origins on her head.
Toga gave a slight cough as Nanami swirled around, her face surprised.
"Is that a Kitsune baby?"
Toga felt a flush creep onto his face, looking down at the little kitsune with a sheepishly smile. Since of Nanami's performance, he was fascinated with the water-demoness, completely forgetting about the small red-head watching with the same fascination from behind his pants.
"Ah, this is Shippo, I found him on the streets of Guangzhou," Toga stated, patting the little fox on his head.
"Mmmm," Nanami mumbled, crouching down to speak eye-leveled to the Shippo.
"Ah, Kagome-sama should make a fine mother for him," she stated with a grin, going back to her full height.
"What? How does that bitch even compete with ME?" Nemi stated with outrage, her eyes wide, "Plus, you can't go off from your conversation to another with a lowly servant! I own you!
Nanami titled her body to such an angle for Nemi to only see on side of her face. Her eyes narrowed down on the whore her master replaced Kagome with, as she gave Nemi a sharp look.
"You are not to speak of Kagome-sama in that manner, nor will you put "own" and I" in the same sentence in my presence. I will hesitate to kill you for now, but wait till the day," Nanami said calmly and took Shippo's hand to get him cleaned up.
Nemi's face flashed with fear, before she covered it with a huff, "Sess will kill you for doing this to me! I'm his wife! And for further information, Kagome can't even compete with me! My baby will be his pride; where else her's can go off and rot in hell!"
Toga looked down at the girl's stomach. The bump was barely there, and the scent was gone.
Toga narrowed his eyes at this, the gold of his irises flashed with suspicion. Catching Nanami eye to confirm what he thought, the water demon's now azure eyes nodded at him.
"Ah, so you're the one that my Sesshoumaru has replaced my daughter-in-law with," Toga finally stated, stepping out from the shadows.
His waist long silver hair was kept in a tight braid with a few strands cascading out. His molten golden eyes settled themselves coldly on the fish demoness. The crisp business suit froze Nemi at the spot.
"May I ask why you would confuse me, Lord Toga Taishou of the Western Lands, to be a lowly servant?" Toga's calm voice seems to explode with power as Nemi flinched.
"Oh! Dad! Err. I wanted to entertain you!," Nemi said lamely, her eyes searching his face.
Shit.
At his name, Nanami froze.
'Toga-kun?!'
Shippo looked up curiously at the surprised expression on her face. But the wide-eyes and stricken features quickly dissolved to a small little smile.
"It couldn't be. Impossible." She whispered under her breathe in relief, before gracing Shippo with a warm smile.
"Now, how about a warm bath with some rubber ducks, and some clean clothes, eh?" Nanami winked at the little red head as he beamed up to her and nodded his head.
Nemi sat fidgeting under Toga's calm gaze.
"Now, who's the father?"
The fish demoness's head snapped up, her eyes shone with fright before it came over with calmness. Of course, not fast enough for Toga not to notice.
"Sesshoumaru of course," she stated with an odd quivering voice.
"Ah, but you forgot something Nemi," Toga said settling down his cup of tea before the molten golds settled down in an icily fashion on the fish demoness, "All Inu-Youkai pregnancies, even hanyous, would have a bump DOUBLED the size of a normal pregnancy." (Oh shit. Poor Kagome. That means DOUBLE the pain. No wonder she wanted to kill him.)
Nemi froze, but composed herself, "Well, me being fish youkai, I would be different!"
"Ah, but my little nephew took a charming little fish demoness also, and it still applies," Toga retorted coolly, "Now, it's in your best interest that you tell me what's going on."
Nemi opened her mouth as if to explain, but at the last moment, she lunged at Toga.
Sesshoumaru has not felt so much rage in his body. After the idiot that was forcing himself on Kagome escaped down a drain, he had been terribly irritated.
As he was going to tell Kagome the good news and gather her form into his arms, he noticed that the room was bare of any life forms.
Seeing the curtains flapping wildly from the open window, he finally deduced she had run away from him again.
Sesshoumaru growled and jumped out of the window. He was going to track down Kagome, but seeing the time, he needed to travel back before Nemi went into labor.
Feeling the wind whip around him, the demon cloud appeared under his feet. Traveling over the ocean again, he hoped that somehow Kagome and his daughter had seeked shelter because a furious storm was coming their way.
Yet, it never occurred to him, he may loose them for something that can't even measure up in worth.
Trudging around the street with a sleeping Rin nestled in her arms, she reached the forest. Not having anywhere to go since the hotel check-ins where all closed along with the motels, along with the fact Kagura recently moved to the town over, she decided to settling in the little cave she found when she went exploring.
Even in the dark, her sure-footing kept her from stumbling and falling all over the place. Touching some trees, she finally ended up at the cave.
Settling herself on the dry ground, Kagome leaned against the wall as the water pelted onto the ground. Soon the winds howled furiously as the trees' limbs whipped around.
The forced air sudden entered the cave, sending chilly shivers up Kagome's spine. Watching the storm with awe, a lightning bolt struck down on a tree.
Flames of dancing reds and orange seeped around at an abnormally quick pace. Thunder shook the cave that Kagome and Rin resides in.
Much to Kagome's horror, the flames somehow traveled into the save. The wind still blowing at an abnormal high speed put fuel into the fire as it rose to a horrifying height.
Seeing the high wave of red, Kagome scrabbled deeper into the cave, clutching Rin closely to her chest.
As she saw light at the direction she was running to, the ground shook again in a huge amount of force. Kagome looked up, and to her horror, the top of the cave gave away.
Shielding Rin, Kagome felt excruciating pain before the welcoming darkness swept her away into its numbing embrace.
Nanami smiled down at the little kitsune as she slipped him into the comforters. The little darling obviously had it hard, and as soon as he felt the soft mattress underneath him, he quickly fell into a sleep spell.
Exiting her room in the servants' wing of the house, she was making her way slowly down the stairs.
A sudden crash of glass startled her out of her daze as she broke into a run.
Seeing the kitchen and dining room empty, she finally reached the family room.
Nanami gaped in horror as Nemi stood above Togo, the man sprawled onto the floor with a wound to his head. Shards of glass scattered around him as the wound bled at a slow pace.
The water demon's face contorted up in rage. Putting up a shield around Toga, she was going to advance on the fish demoness before a malice-dipped voice stopped her.
"Who did this to my father?" Sesshoumaru asked, his eyes narrowed on her.
"It was her! Dad approved of our marriage and she couldn't take it so she attacked him! I saw it Sessh!" Nemi accused, point a manicured finger at her.
Before Nanami could tell her master the truth, she was pinned to the wall by her throat.
She scratched at the hand that held her up as she desperately gasped for breathes.
Sesshoumaru's claws dug into her delicate skin at her neck. Sudden she felt the deep burning sensation as she clawed at his hand again.
He put his poison in her!
As Nanami's eyes drooped down, Sesshoumaru dropped her. Nanami crumbled on the floor as a guard stood in front of her.
"Take her to the dungeons. Torture, every day."
At this command, the guard picked up Nanami's unconscious body with a no-so-gentle grip, and dragged her off to the dark rooms.
As she heard his punishment, a tear leaked from her eyes.
For 1,000 years I've served you, yet you choose a whore's statement over mine.
Sesshoumaru dropped down at his father's venerable form. Picking up the older man, he turned to Nemi, whose face shone of faux concern.
"Get the healer up to the guestroom."
With that, he carried his father up the steps to the room.
Too bad he didn't look back to see Nemi's malicious smile.
Lord Sesshoumaru. You are certainly a fool.
haha ok, after a couple of reviews, I kind of got the thought that people are seriously mad that I made Sesshomaru such a dumb-ass. So to be the incredibly nice and very teasing author I am, I decided to answer from random questions people might have wanted to know. If you missed this, oh well..too bad.
Why is Sess sooo out of it? Ok, heres the thing. Nemi's mother is a witch. Sinko aka Nemi's ma, casted a spell over Nemi's prenant belly as an illusion that only Sesshomaru could see, which I think it completely dumb, but hey! If she didn't, the whole plot would be ALOT more complicated than it already is..meaning..more pissed off readers that clearly enjoy my work, but yet still want to reprimand me for twisting the story so much.
What the hell did you do to kagome?! Aha, um. She's not dead, but it doesn't mean she doesn't get out with a few scars and bruises. The whole fire scene is to make Sesshoumaru even more guilty at the end.
How the hell did Nemi beat Toga? Ah, it's called the element of surprise my friends. No matter how powerful the creature is, once it's caught off guard, and too late to put it back up, the creature is a GONER.
Why was Sess such an ass to Nanami? It's all about the human mind. If you came home, and you see your dad down on the ground, you would probably be enraged, right? This is why Sesshoumaru is usually emotionless, because emotions, such as rage, blinds one's judgement. But it was his own sire, and in this fic, he cares about his father. Now if to say, you where totally smitten and convinced that you love this person and get married to them, the "love" will blind you from their obvious actions of deciet unless someone else the person trusts and loves unconditionally points out the faults.(Why Nemi attacked Toga in the first place) Though Sesshoumaru wont admit it outloud, he's convinced he "loves" Nemi to some extent. Ok, back to the "you" scenario. Ok, so you see your dad wounded on the ground, and the "love-of-your-life" points to someone, as in a friend, the rage you probably feel would totally mess up your judgment. Instead of questioning the actions of your friend, you would probably either -beat them up;ban them from your house; or cut all ties with them. In Sesshomaru's case, he chooses to torture Nanami.
If theres anymore questions, I'll be happy to answer them if it doesn't reveal too much.
