How bad?

I always wanted things when I was little. I would slowly tug on my mother's kimono sleeve with my little hands and look up at her with those eyes of mine. Then, I would point at an object and say very slowly and clearly that I wanted it. It never worked of course and now, I hit myself daily because of how naïve I was. One time, I saw a cloud in the sky in the shape of a rose. I quickly dragged my mom out and pointed up at the sky shouting: "I WANT THAT!" Instead of ignoring me, she turned down at me and let out a sigh. She kneeled down and patted me on the head like something bad was about to happen…but it didn't. She smiled instead and placed a light kiss on my forehead. "How bad do you want it?" I was stumped. No, really stumped. I couldn't think of any reason to use such a flower to my advantage and looked down at my feet. How badly did I want all the other things I have bothered my mother for. Walking back into my room, I took out a box and started placing items in it. When my mom came in to check on me, most of the items in my room were gone. She turned to me with a surprised look and I just shrugged. "I didn't want it badly so I sold them…" It turned out that she started to laugh at me and I got a bit annoyed. Didn't I do the right thing? Why was she laughing at me? "We're having cake today because mommy is so proud that my daughter is growing up!" I never got what she meant…all I knew was that I was having cake. How strange of me to want cake. Now, I take what I need and not what I want. I teach the girls to do the same and most of them had already adapted to the changes I have made for them. My mother was going to live on…I made sure of it.

"I-I…what…"

SLAM!

"WAH! Get your hands off of Madame you you…you pervert!" Great, the girls came in.

Kagura felt her throat let lose as she stared at the three girls in front of her. She sighed and rolled her eyes. Sesshoumaru stayed there looking at them like they were the dullest things in the world. "Madame! Are you alright?" the green eyed one said. "I am quite alright thank you Ayame…" Kagura said in reply. "Madame! What about-" Kagura shook her head. "This guy is not interested in who you are so it's okay…" The girls sighed and then all turned their gazes to the male.

"What were you trying to do with Madame?!" the girls said in unison.

Sesshoumaru turned around and grabbed his robes starting to put them on while Kagura explained the situation. After a while, Sesshoumaru was done dressing and the girls had a clear overview of what happened. The last thing they wanted was for Madame to get raped.

"What did you girls come here for?" Kagura asked as she sat down.

"Well…it's kind of a surprise…but I can't…keep it!!!" A black haired girl cried out.

Another girl laughed and patted her on the back. "Don't worry Kagome…tell Madame…she deserves to know by now!"

The girl now known as Kagome nodded. "The new shipment from Europe came in! Isn't that exciting!? All the other girls want to open them and see all their gifts from the king!"

Sessshoumaru seemed a bit alarmed like this. The king? What…wait, he knows this place?! The Queen is not going to be happy about this…

Then, Kagome started being all nervous as well as Ayame but Sango just shook her head and sighed. "Well…the girls did open them and now they're all over them admiring everything about them…we didn't know if it was right or not so we didn't…"

Kagura stared at them with a cold glance at first but soon, she turned her head laughing off her head. "Is that all?! You're being nervous for absolutely nothing girls. You guys deserve some gifts…you guys worked hard!"

The girls looked at their Madame with watery eyes and nodded. "Thank you Madame!" they said in unison again and rushed out the door.

Sesshoumaru watched the three leave with a puzzling look. Kagura sat their pouring herself a cup of tea and started to sip. Her expression looked blissful…almost as if because the girls were happy, she was too. Why is she…so happy about the girls? Why do the girls like her so much? She doesn't seem so special to me…Maybe-"

"Hey! Earth to Crude man here!" Sesshoumaru was faced with a pair of red glaring eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?!"

"What?! I was not!"

"You want to deny it huh?! Just wait till I-"

"Ow! Hey! Stop that! Get off me!!!"

-----------------

"Where is that bastard?!"

"He didn't come home all night…"

"Rin misses Sesshoumaru nii…"

"Oh Rin don't you dare cry on me!"

"Stop being so mean to the little girl!"

"Well I bet he's by Virgin Mary's! That whore house got him!"

"That's almost impossible! Sesshoumaru never shows and concern for the concubines back home!"

"These people are different you know…these girls are prettier!"

"Shut up! Let's just go over there!"

"He'll kill us if we leave Rin alone here!"

"Then take her…QUICK!"

"Fine fine fine…"

----------------------------

"Kohaku! Hurry up! This is the last box and none of the other girls are taking it!"

Kohaku rolled his eyes at the demanding girl and set the box on the table. It was quite heavy and he had some trouble but he knew that if he dropped it, it was murder for him. The three girls crowded around the box and opened it. Their faces turned into shock as they picked up all the little weird looking objects from the box. Even Kohaku was interested.

"Wah! Look at this!" Ayame picked up what seemed to be like a mask of some sort. This one however looked weird and feathery with glistening glitter over it. "It's…some sort of mask…but…it's so weird!"

"No! Look at this! They call this a fan?!" It was yet another feathery object and very big. It was a fan made from pink feathers. Kagome was just looking at it with a very weird gaze.

Sango had managed to find a pair of shoes that looked pretty but once she tried them on, it was so hard to walk in them! They were high heeled and narrow so she couldn't walk really straight with them.

Kohaku pulled out a bow tie and wondered what to do with it. "What are these things?!" the four shouted.

"Hmf…of course you wouldn't know you commoners…" Two men stepped through the doorway with a little girl. "They're all valuble items sent from Europe…I don't expect a bunch of whores like you to acknowledge that…" Well, if what the three girls hated the most was when people thought they were dumb.

"These are gifts from the king and we're not dumb!" Sango shouted.

"Yeah you assholes! This isn't a whorehouse and we're not whores!" Kagome snapped.

"Shut up and get out of here!" Ayame glared.

The two males seemed unfazed by this and walked right to their table. "You three are selling your bodies yes? I'm not free now but maybe later…" the black haired one said winking at Kagome.

The three of them shared the same irritation mark and in less than a minute, the black haired male was on the floor with bruises, bumps and slap marks.

"Shows you not to mess with the Four Beauties!"

The one still standing let go of the little girl's hands and charged at them. "You little who-"

SNAP!

The male winced and stopped in pain as he held his now swollen hand.

"Inuyasha…Kouga…what is the meaning of this?" A figure none other than Sesshoumaru's stepped down from the stairs looking at the two.

The three girls all retreated behind Kagura who was the one who had snapped her fan at Inuyasha's hand. Kouga was now standing as he glared at the girls. "So you came to the whore house huh Sesshoumaru? Wow…never thought you had it in you…"

Rin let out a laugh and ran straight for Sesshoumaru hugging him around his legs. "Rin missed Onii san!"

Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl and patted her on the head. "This isn't a whore house and you have no right charging in and disturbing other people…"

Kouga rolled his eyes. "Anyone could tell that this was a whore house!"

Kagura whacked him with her fan and give an intense glare. "Everyone knows that this is not a whorehouse! These girls are all girls who have no where to go! I accepted them and let them sell their talent! Not body…"

Inuyasha and Kouga stood there looking at the 6 in front of them and turned away. "…sorry…" they both said.

The girls didn't take it easily and walked right past them making a 'hmf' sound. Then, they were gone.

"Why didn't you return yesterday Onii sama?" the little girl said looking up at the male. Sesshoumaru shook his head. "It doesn't matter…I'm here now…" Rin nodded happily and squealed.

"Why don't you have a way with children…if you aren't going to live here then I suggest you all go back into your inns…" Kagura turned and started up the stairs. "You're all welcome to come tonight and see us perform…" Sesshoumaru looked up at her and nodded. "We'll be here…but…" Kagura turned. "What?"

"Who is the forth beauty they were talking about?"

Kagura turned and ran up the stairs leaving him to his own thoughts.

Well all! I have finally finished the 5th chapter! I hope you all like it. It has little action in it but that's all I can do for now. The next chapter will be exciting…I promise! Sorry it took me so long but I had lots to do with auditions and such. Sorry sorry…hope you forgive me!
