Part Six - Homeless, Jobless, Freeloading, Guys

Part six already? I move fast now don't I? Well anyway…

It was now officially only… dum, duh duh dum, 2 weeks and one day, until the wedding. The day was Thursday, which meant Inuyasha got to go home with 'The Sesshoumaru.' How fun. But let me catch you up on a few things.

Inutaisho began to get extremely distant with the rest of his family. He would stay at the school until very late most days, leaving Sesshoumaru with the responsibility of taking care of Inuyasha 4 out of 7 days of the week. On one day, Tuesday, Sesshoumaru had patients all day so he couldn't do anything, ergo; he had to stay in the Library waiting for his dad.

One might say, 'Where is Izayoi?' I thought I mentioned the fact that… well; she is a psychologist additionally. And she has more patients than even Sesshoumaru, ergo; she was booked almost 24/7. Inuyasha of course didn't mind; because at least one of the days of the week he got to spend with Kagome.

Vis-à-vis his parents, Inuyasha was pretty off-white, a bit of a black hen. He was barely like either of them. One could say he was slightly like his mother, and had the physical appearance of his father… but…

But I digress.

I move fast now don't I…?

Inuyasha had gone to rehearsal for the play every day instead of his last period class, rehearsing probably three out of every five rehearsals, which was pretty good. But he was Thernardier, not Javert. 'Why not Javert," he would ask himself. "Why, why?" Well it was a simple answer. Cause Asuka was a big giant fat witch!

He cursed her mentally every time he walked by her in the hall. His face read 'hello Asuka,' but his mind screamed 'you stupid bitch!' This was a rare side of Inuyasha to go that far to call a teacher such a name, but he thought it was appropriate for depriving him of Javert.

After school on that Thursday I said before, Inuyasha found his brother wasn't there yet. He was surprised, as Sesshoumaru was not usually late, and decided to wait a bit longer. After a few minutes of waiting he decided Sesshoumaru would know where to find him and voyaged into the library.

He found Kagome sitting at the normal spot, looking surprised to see him. After a note that read exactly what her expression did, he quietly explained the situation.

Inuyasha continued by sparking up the conversation with random things until… sadly enough, Sesshoumaru arrived. He made his casual appearance into the Library, striding swiftly. Inuyasha without a fuss softly got up, paid Kagome a goodbye, then left.

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had begun to develop more of a brotherly bond. It was no longer an 'I hate you, you hate me, just live with it.' Now it was more like… 'I have no problem with you; you have no problem with me, perfect!'

Anyway, when they got to his 'home/ apartment' Rin was there unpacking her things into Sesshoumaru and her room. Rin greeted Inu warmly, while Sesshoumaru disappeared into the abyss.

"Hey Rin," Inuyasha began the conversation casually. Rin nodded, pulling a bunch of clothes out of a suitcase and throwing it carelessly onto the bed. Inuyasha leaned against a wall in an exhausted fashion. "I have another question about you and Sesshoumaru."

"Shoot," she said without hesitation.

"Why do you love Sesshoumaru?"

Rin finished bringing out a few things from her pack and sat down on the bed. "Well, there are millions of reasons. I exaggerate, not millions, but at least thirty. Unbeknownst to you, Sesshoumaru actually quite understands."

Inuyasha stifled. Rin couldn't help but smile at his action.

"I know, surprise. But he is really sweet."

The young boy in the room leaned against the wall further and widened his eyes. "No, cause that's just… no. It's impossible, because every time you say the words, sweet, and Sesshoumaru in the same sentence… you actually start to gag."

Rin laughed harder. "Inuyasha you're pretty funny sometimes, just like your brother."

Inuyasha shivered. "You know what, I think I'll go in the other room and… do my homework."

Rin shrugged. "Do you what you want."

When he got out of the bedroom he shut the door and then proceeded to hit his head against the wall. He did not need to hear how his brother was actually quite… tolerable. Woe, betide him if he had to be that bored to ask Rin another love story.

He attempted his math, then 'English,' (would it be Japanese?) Then science, then history. And he was done. And Sesshoumaru had nothing on him. He could skip the talk that day, because no homework had been left for him to 'assist' with. Or was there?

After a while of thinking, and dozing off, Inuyasha heard the not-so-pleasant footsteps of a certain brother. He smiled, knowing he would not have to answer to him today.

"So," Sesshoumaru began.

"I'm going to skip the talk today Sess," Inuyasha said casually. I do believe I already did my homework."

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Oh really?"

Inuyasha slowly nodded.

"I see, do you won't mind if I tell mom and dad about the B." Inuyasha's eyes widened anxiously, ever more shaking his head. "I see that as well. How about we begin, shall we?"

Inuyasha hung his head, defeated.

"I'll begin." 'It is time I put into play a final piece.' "How's… Kagome?"

Inuyasha sighed. "How many times do I have to go through this Sesshoumaru?"

"A few more obviously."

"Fine."

"What?"

"She's fine," he growled angrily.

Sesshoumaru showed a bit of emotion by scoffing a laugh. "Yes Inuyasha, that'll do for explaining how she is," He took a breath.

"Can I ask you a question," Inuyasha said a bit easier, his transition from angry to calm made Sesshoumaru a bit uneasy. But being the older brother and not to mention 'flat' older brother he tried not to show it.

"Ask."

"How did you go from being a bum without a penny to his name to being a rich guy with a fiancée?"

Sesshoumaru was shocked. "Excuse me."

"No offense," Inuyasha stated. "But I do believe the reason Kagura dumped you was because she said you were like almost every other guy she dated, Homeless, Jobless, and Freeloading off your dad."

"And…"

"And I do believe that you became a psychologist shortly after that, started saving up funds, and got pretty gosh darn rich. How?"

"How did I get rich?"

"No, the transition?"

Sesshoumaru sighed reluctantly. "Well Inuyasha, every man ahs a tough part of his life, mine was... Being a… 'jobless, freeloading, asshole,' but after that you start to realize things."

"Like what?"

"Like, love, romance, adoration. And music, song, and lyrics. The memories of the melodies, and the remininsce or the laughter you once shared with your friends.

"But then you realize, that life is only going to go downhill from there."

"Amen..."

A/N. Well I updated with a short chapter. It's still a chapter. Sorry, it's been a hel;l of a week, but until next time.
