Release the Kraken!

Jessa slurped her ramen noodles as she watched TV. She felt her phone vibrating in her pocket and prayed that her parents didn't somehow know what had happened. She flipped her red en-V 3 open and hit the speaker button.

"Talk to me," Jessa answered after swallowing her food.

"Oh my God, Jessa, was that you and Sesshomaru on the local news? What the hell happened? I told you that," Ali screamed, only for Jessa to hit the end button, disconnecting the call.

"Why is she complaining?" Sesshomaru asked out loud.

"Good question…oh, she's calling again," Jessa said, pressing the answering button.

"Bitch, you did NOT just hang up on me! I ought to come over there and," Ali was cut off again as Jessa hit the end button.

"Heh, heh, heh," Jessa chuckled as she finished her noodles, her phone vibrating once more. She answered it and exhaled.

"Ok, so what happened?" Ali asked, her voice a little more calm.

"Nothing." Jessa replied.

"Dude, they had you flying away with Sesshomaru on camera after he killed a giant blob! What the hell do you mean "nothing"? I am trying to he…" The call was cut off again. Sesshomaru had hit the end button this time. The phone began to vibrate again, but Sesshomaru grabbed Jessa's hand when she went to answer.

"Perhaps we should leave her out of this." Sesshomaru suggested, still grasped onto Jessa's hand. Jessa stared back as she shrugged.

"Sounds good to me. She's no help…can I have my hand back?" Jessa responded. Sesshomaru let go and looked away to avoid any awkward looks from the girl. She didn't seem to mind, she just continued eating and trying to make small talk, but Sesshomaru wasn't a small talk man.

"So…have you ever…nah, I won't ask you that," Jessa exhaled as she pushed her bowl aside, clamping her hands together and looking over at the TV.

"I will grant you one answer to one question," Sesshomaru finally stated, deciding that she deserved to know something about him.

"I'll save it for a better question." Jessa said back.

"Fair enough." Sesshomaru responded calmly.

Later that night, Jessa was sitting in the chair while watching TV and looking up when Sesshomaru slowly walking into the room. The demon lord was looking through a book idly. He sat on the floor, leaning back against the couch, flipping a page.

"You know, the couch is there for you to sit on." Jessa announced, pointing at the couch with the remote.

"You know, I really don't care." Sesshomaru responded, not looking up from his book. The next thing the demon lord knew was a chip pelting him in the head. He looked up and leered at Jessa, who was sitting sideways on the chair, her head lying on the arm.

"Haha, dead on…and I was upside down when I threw it." Jessa giggled, her long brown hair almost hitting the floor as her head hung off the arm.

"You'll be dead if you throw another…one." The demon lord wasn't finished with his sentence when the second chip hit his forehead.

"I'm sorry, is that my breathing and heartbeat I hear?" Jessa retorted in a fake inquisitive tone, cupping her hand around one ear. Sesshomaru glared at her for a moment more before looking back down at the book.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh! We're on the late-night news, too!" Jessa exclaimed when she changed the channel.

"Haha, that demon didn't have shit on you, not going to lie." Jessa commented when the video showed the monster being effortlessly melted away.

"The mysterious woman then grabbed an innocent bystander and flew away with her." The newsman ended seriously.

"Hahaha! Mysterious woman! Hahaha, oh that's rich as hell! Hahahahaha!" Jessa laughed as she looked at Sesshomaru, who was staring at the TV blankly.

"I am not a woman." He murmured.

"Haha, you are now." Jessa retorted, turning the TV up when the newspeople decided to interview a few witnesses.

"It was a dude, it was definitely a dude, he just looked like a chick, but he totally like…melted the monster with his manicure and took some random girl." A young boy said, using his hands to describe the "manicure" part. Sesshomaru felt his face fall into a pout when he heard Jessa muffling her giggles with her hand.

"It was Lord Sesshomaru! He saved us! Fluffy, if you can hear me, I love you!" a random girl screamed in the background.

"Fluffy?" Sesshomaru asked, cocking an eyebrow. He heard Jessa's silent fit as she convulsed in the chair. She was truly enjoying this.

"We will have more information later," the newsman said, obviously really confused. Jessa giggled as she stood up, turning the TV off, walking over to the open walkway.

"I'm going to bed. Flip this switch off before you go to sleep. Good night." Jessa called out as she disappeared back to her room. Sesshomaru watched her form slowly lead back to her room.

Jessa turned over in her bed, groaning awake when she heard a loud noise come from outside. It was still dark out and the wind was blowing insanely. The weatherman said a storm was coming, so she assumed the wind blew something over.

"Milo, go lay down, boy," Jessa moaned when she heard the dog growling defensively. The yellow lab then began barking loudly, his barks turning into howls. Jessa sat up and rubbed her head. Milo never barked during storms.

"There had better be a robber out there, you stupid dog." Jessa growled, putting her glasses on and walking down the hallway and into the kitchen. She opened the sliding glass door and stepped out, looking around and sighing heavily when the wind blew her hair in every place possible. She heard Milo whine and groan behind her as he backed into the house.

"Some help you are," Jessa commented, looking back when she heard a grunt and then a huge splash, indicating someone, indeed, was stalking around her house. Jessa watched as Sesshomaru jumped out of the pool and landed in front of her, panting slightly.

"You're all wet." Jessa stated blandly.

"And you're a weak mortal. There is a demon here." Sesshomaru retorted quickly.

"That's nice. Be a doll and take care of him for me, please? I'm going back to bed." Jessa stated as she turned around, walking back to the house. The next thing Jessa knew were strong, clawed hands harshly grabbing her shoulders, the claws digging into her flesh. Jessa instantly knew it wasn't Sesshomaru and looked up, seeing the gargoyle-like bird screech angrily, its red eyes glaring down at her.

"Haha, helloooooo!" Jessa sang nervously. Sesshomaru swung his hand and unleashed his green whip of light, slicing the bird's gnarled hands clean off its wrists. It squawked and screeched with pain.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" Jessa screamed when she remembered that she couldn't fly, but Sesshomaru leapt into the air and caught her, tensing up when she flung her arms around him tightly.

"I hate heights." She said to him when she realized he was almost repulsed by her touching him. His face lightened only slightly when she admitted her fear and he gently placed her back on the ground.

"Such a pointless fear." He said back to her, only to find himself airborne when the gargoyle-bird demon thing had back up pick him up and drop him into the pool.

"Hahahaha! Face!" Jessa laughed when the soggy dog demon slowly pulled himself out of the water, his beautiful and long white hair clinging to his face and shoulders. He pushed the hair out of his eyes and glared back at Jessa silently before quickly jumping up and swiping his claws upward, ripping one of the three demons into pieces. He quickly turned around and punched one in the side of the face and quickly kicking the third that he injured a few moments earlier. He cracked his knuckles and sliced the handless one to shreds and melted the remaining one with his other hand.

"Uh…nice…I won't be pissing him off anymore tonight." Jessa mumbled under her breath. She saw him walk up to her, still soaked and looking pissed beyond his usual norm.

"Next time, stay inside." He growled at her.

"Oh yeah, because I knew there were demons out here. I thought it was some crazy kid." Jessa replied dryly, walking back into the house. Sesshomaru followed her and finally remembered that he was still soaked.

"Do you," he began, only to catch the towel Jessa tossed to him. Next she walked into the room, smirking at him evilly.

"Take off your clothes and do not take another step inside this house until you have something dry on." She stated. Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow, almost at a complete loss of words. He didn't get a chance to say anything as she disappeared into the dining room and up the stairs. Sesshomaru sighed as he began stripping his clothes off. He damn sure wasn't going to wear damp clothing, but he had nothing else to wear. Did Jessa honestly want him wandering around in the nude?

"Maybe she wants to see me naked…no…she wants to merely poke fun at me." He growled under his breath, finally naked and shivering a bit.

"Not looking, not looking, not looking, not looking," Jessa chanted as she walked into the kitchen, staring at the floor and tossing him a clean and dry white robe. Sesshomaru caught it and quickly put it on, tying the sash around his waist.

"Come along, little doggie," Jessa called as she walked to the bathroom, turning on the light. She heard Sesshomaru's beastly growl follow her as his eyes turned red. She glared back at him and pointed at Milo.

"I was talking to him! Now get your ass in here!" Jessa snapped, quietly making her peace with God, just in case Sesshomaru decided to end her that night. Sesshomaru's eyes returned to their golden color as he looked at Milo. The dog panted happily and wagged his tail as he stared back at Sesshomaru. The demon lord quietly stepped into the somewhat spacious bathroom and sat on the floor as Jessa held up the blow dryer.

"This makes a loud noise, try not to bark at it and bite the air," Jessa announced, doing all in her power to hold back laughter when she saw those beautiful golden eyes turn blood red once more.

"I was talking to Milo, chill your nuts." Jessa quickly added as she looked down to avoid seeing him and laughing. Sesshomaru looked at Milo, who was now sitting in the doorway, staring at the blow dryer skeptically. Once Jessa turned it on, Milo howled defensively. He howled and barked the whole duration, but Sesshomaru didn't care. It was quite relaxing how Jessa ran her fingers through his hair. It was so relaxing that he didn't even growl when she purposely pulled his hair or made faces at him through the mirror.

"There, all dry, I will go take care of your soggy clothes now." Jessa said as she walked away, picking up the clothes and jogging down into the basement and hanging them up to dry. She walked back upstairs and into her room, throwing her arms up in the air when she saw the demon lord curled up on her bed and was sound asleep.

"Mother fucker." She grumbled, deciding to sleep on the couch once more. She was too lazy and too tired to climb the stairs.

Jessa yawned as she awoke the next day, slightly stiff from sleeping in an odd position on the couch. She sat up and stretched her arms, seeing Sesshomaru walking in, fully clothed.

"My clothing smells terrible." He commented. Jessa stifled another yawn as she stood up.

"Yeah, chlorine does that sometimes." She commented, knowing that she lost the dog demon once the word "chlorine" spilled from her lips.

"Whatever it is, it sickens me." He said back.

"I can get rid of the smell, but you'll have to take your clothes off again," Jessa warned, hoping the words "take your clothes off" would make him complain less, but instead, she got him to agree to taking his clothes of again. He came back into the kitchen, dressed in the white robe and practically shoving his clothes at her.

"Haha, if your clothes shrink, do I get to keep my pathetic life?" Jessa asked nervously.

"No." Sesshomaru stated sternly.

"Oh, well, fuck me…be right back." Jessa sighed, deciding to do his laundry. She couldn't send him home, but she could clean his clothes. She finally came to his fluffy boa and found herself staring at it nervously.

"What the fuck…I am not even going to attempt this thing. He can just suck my dick…when I get one." Jessa commented, walking back upstairs and seeing him leaning against the wall of the kitchen, his eyes closed.

"Um, yeah, this is not going to happen, but I can get the other stuff smelling like the ocean breeze." She said to him, tossing his fluffy fashion to him. Sesshomaru caught it and snorted.

"I detest the ocean breeze." He growled.

"Well too fucking bad. I ran out of grassy meadow." Jessa shot back.

Sesshomaru watched as Jessa answered her phone a few times while cleaning up the house. She argued with a few people and talked nicely to her mother so as not to alert her of anything. The teen girl set her phone down on the table and looked at Sesshomaru with a sigh.

"I'm really sorry. I would definitely send you back if I knew how. Some people recognized me on the news from the video, so I had to lie and deny, which I do all the time, but there is no way I can hide my mom's broken ass vehicle." Jessa exhaled.

"Understandable. I retrieved the vehicle when you were in the shower. I put it in back." Sesshomaru replied.

"So, let me get this straight, you flew to the parking lot, picked up the SUV, while dressed in a bathrobe and carried it back here?" Jessa asked him tonelessly.

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Sesshomaru asked back, feeling like he deserved some praise. He didn't have to go get it, of course, there was the boredom factor playing a part in his "kind" act.

"Oh, no, not at all. Men carry cars while dressed in bathrobes all the damn time around here. Thank you, though. It was actually a good idea to do that." Jessa replied dryly, but changing her tone when thanking him, because she was actually glad he did so.

"Are my clothes dry yet? And bring me tea when you come back." he ordered her.

"Excuse me, am I wearing a sign that says, "Sesshomaru's Slave"?" Jessa asked back with a glare.

"Yes." Sesshomaru answered simply.

"Oh really now, smart ass? Ok." Jessa said, sitting on the floor and crossing her arms. Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" he asked her.

"Boycotting." She responded.

"Irritating wench," Sesshomaru growled as he walked down to the basement himself.

"Blah, blah, blah!" Jessa shouted back at him.

Jessa yawned as she lay on the couch, surfing the Internet on her laptop. Sesshomaru had disappeared again and Jessa found herself wishing he would stay gone. Less shit she would have to deal with if he did get lost. Her Spring Break was shot to Hell on the very first day when he arrived.

"And I'm out of vicodin. Damn." She whispered, petting Milo before he lay down on the floor next to her.

"You say that you know everything about me?" Sesshomaru asked, appearing out of nowhere. Jessa looked at him and frowned.

"No, I know a lot, but not everything." She corrected modestly.

"My sword's name?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Is that a trick question? Which one are you talking about?" Jessa asked back.

"This one," he replied, pulling out the healing sword.

"Tenseiga…and that one is Bakusaiga, so don't even bother pulling it out." Jessa answered with boredom as she yawned.

"My servant's name?"

"Jaken…the annoying little fucker."

"And the human girl?"

"Her name is Rin and she was mauled by wolves after meeting you and before all of that, she watched her family be slaughtered by human bandits. Her favorite pastime is singing about you and picking flowers for you. Oh and heads up, people think you're going to fuck her…someday." Jessa ended while fluttering her eyelashes in a fake, dreamy manner.

"She is a child." Sesshomaru growled.

"Children grow up."

"She is human."

"Touché'. A lot of people want you to take Kagome and fuck her, too."

"Repulsive. I wouldn't even think of it."

"Lots of people want you to fuck Inuyasha, Koga, Naraku, Miroku and what's his name…anyway, yeah, you're everyone's favorite slut." Jessa added, looking at Sesshomaru, who was looking angrier by the minute.

"Why? You say they watch me and know how I act…why would they think I would start bedding every person I meet?" Sesshomaru asked her with irritation.

"Haha, I only know who, what, when, where and how…why is not part of my policy." Jessa retorted.

"Disgusting. My own brother? Naraku?"

"And a lot of them think you had a thing with your father, too."

"I also sleep with Jaken. Did they forget that?" Sesshomaru spat with annoyance.

"Haha, honestly, I've never seen anything like that, but I wouldn't deny its existence."

"Absolutely disgusting and…" Sesshomaru's head whipped in the opposite direction. Jessa knew that pose anywhere. A demon was near.

"Go get 'em." Jessa cheered tiredly.

"Stay here." Sesshomaru ordered as he flew out of the house. Jessa watched with displeasure as her mother's expensive vase hit the floor and smashed into pieces.

"Goddamn it." She groaned.

Sesshomaru returned after slaying the weak demon. He walked into the living room and saw that Jessa had not moved from the couch. Sesshomaru let out a breath as he sat on the floor.

"Did you fuck it?" Jessa asked dryly as she changed the channel.

"As hard as I could." Sesshomaru replied with equal dryness, blinking when Jessa began laughing.

"Haha, you should be a smart ass more often." She said to him while looking at him.

"I never felt the need until I met you." Sesshomaru responded, getting another giggle from her.

"Yeaaaah, I get that a lot." She said while stretching her entire body.

A few hours later, Jessa was in the middle of playing God of War III, hitting buttons frantically and not blinking at all. She loved it. Sesshomaru was gone, Milo was asleep and it felt like she was alone once more. She paused the game when her phone began ringing, still in kill-mode.

"This had better be good," she answered.

"Party, party, party!" Ali chirped.

"Oh, I'd love to come, but I'm dog-sitting right now…and Kratos is about to beat some ass."

"It's a costume party! Bring the sexy man with you!"

"Do I have to? I mean, Kratos needs to kill Helios…now."

"Come on, show him how we have fun!"

"He doesn't give a fuck! I'll be there shortly!" Jessa shouted back, closing her phone. She stood up and turned the TV off, turning around and seeing Sesshomaru standing in the doorway, looking like he had just woken up.

"I'm uh, going to a party. I guess you can,"

"You are leaving me here?"

"You want to go?"

"Why would I want to go?"

"Oh my God, you are so damn difficult."

"Hmph."

Jessa decided that it was not a party night. She wasn't feeling too well. She figured she ate something and it didn't set right with her stomach. Sesshomaru instantly noticed her change in health and kept his distance from her. He watched her slowly make her way to bed and knew something was wrong when she let Milo jump into bed with her. She cuddled with the dog and let out a shaky breath.

"Mmm…whaaaat?" Jessa whined when Sesshomaru walked into the room, turning the light on.

"Sit up," he demanded, walking over to her. She sat up and exhaled.

"Lift your shirt and turn around," he continued. Jessa frowned and did as he commanded, wondering what he was doing. Sesshomaru saw that along her shoulders, she had four separate and small puncture wounds. She wasn't sick from food, she was sick from the poisonous claws of the demons from the previous night.

"Just as I suspected…they're relatively small and obviously isn't fatal, otherwise you'd be dead by now." Sesshomaru said, pulling her shirt back down.

"Greaaaat." She groaned.

"You will, on the other hand, be violently sick for a while," Sesshomaru stated and just as that sentence left his mouth, Jessa was already running for the bathroom. Sesshomaru looked down when Milo pawed at his leg. He and the dog stared at one another for a moment.

"Go away." Sesshomaru ordered. Milo's ears flattened as he licked his lips, going nowhere. Sesshomaru exhaled. Not only were the women defiant in this world, but so were their dogs.
