"I am famished!" Kagura said as she plopped down in a chair with tons of shopping bags in her arms. Izayoi sat down opposite from her.
They had spent the last four hours shopping and both of them had armfuls of bags
"Oh, me too. I think I want SteakEscape...don't you?" Izayoi pondered.
"Yeah, sure. I'll just workout an extra thirty minutes or so tonight."
Kagura's adopted mother looked at her skeptically. "I don't think all of the 'working out' is really necessary. The hours that you take to do that could be used to do something else...like dating."
Kagura cocked an eyebrow. "Okay one...do you see all of this?" she asked running her hands over her butt and thighs. "And two, I don't feel like dating right now." she said softly.
"You know what I don't feel like doing?" Inuyasha said gruffly from beside the table. "Carrying around all of your crap." He threw down Kagura's shopping bags and pulled up a chair.
"Oh, Inuyasha. Where did you go? We couldn't find you." Izayoi asked, tenderly laying a hand on her son's shoulder.
"And you didn't carry all of the bags." Kagura snapped. She rolled her eyes at Inuyasha. "Typical guy."
"Where did I go? Where did you go?! You two left me and then ran off into another store." he grumbled.
"Oh...speaking of which." Kagura said as she plopped the rest of her shopping bags into his lap.
Inuyasha looked at her like she was insane. "No...I don't..."
"Oh look, Kagura. The line for SteakEscape is short. Let's go." Izayoi stated. Her and Kagura ran off to get in line leaving Inuyasha in mid-sentence.
"I don't believe this. How do I always get suckered into this?"
"Ha ha...die, die, die, die!!" Joel shouted at the tv screen. He punched the buttons on the controller with his thumbs as if to emphasize the demands.
Nathan sighed and rolled his eyes. "I'm tired of Mortal Kombat...let's play something else."
Joel leaned against the side of the bed and watched as his character struck the final blow. "We've already played everything else a million times already."
"Yeah...it's a lot more fun when Kagura's here." Nathan replied. He glanced at Joel before adding. "...or Sesshoumaru."
Joel picked up a pillow off the bed and back swung it at Nathan. "Shutup! I'm not gay."
"Prove it." Nathan said, dodging the pillow.
"Have I ever jumped you?" Joel asked, throwing the pillow and hitting Nathan in the face.
"...that's sick."
"Exactly."
Kagura threw open the door to the house and ran in. "Blessed air conditioning...how I adore thee."
Izayoi and Inuyasha followed behind her. "I would adore to kill you." he grumbled.
Kagura swung around and ran up to him. He leaned back when she raised her hand but was surprised when she took all of the bags out of his arms.
"Who cares? I'm going up to Rin's room." she said, flying up the stairs.
Inuyasha growled. "That insolent little...if I could only get my hands around her neck I would..."
"Now, now Inuyasha...you love your sister." Izayoi said soothingly, patting his shoulder.
"She's adopted...and no, I don't love her. She is the most irritating thing I have ever..." Izayoi waved her hand and yawned.
"I think I'm going to go take a nap." And with that, she left the room leaving Inuyasha to rant along.
Kagura topped the stairs and glided to Rin's open door. She and her adoptive sister weren't exactly alike. Rin was more of a tom-boy so they didn't necessarily share the same interests. Where Kagura prefered boys and clothes, Rin prefered game boy and internet hacking. Still, they enjoyed each others' company.
"Hey Rin." Kagura said as she walked in with her arm load of bags and plopped onto the bed.
"Hey." Rin said, her face glued to the computer screen.
"What're you doing?" Kagura asked with a tinge of curiosity.
"Um...home work."
"You're cheating again...aren't you?"
Rin smiled. "Yeah. Pretty much."
"Okay. Whatever. Just don't let mom and dad know. Or Sesshoumaru for that matter."
Kagura didn't care that Rin cheated on her homework. As long as she knew the material and shared the hacking goods. Besides, Rin was the genius of the family.
"So did you and mom have a good time today?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, you should have gone with us." Kagura teased.
Rin sat back in her chair and cocked an eyebrow. "Not really my forte." she said.
"Big deal." Kagura laid down on her stomach and pulled a bag up off the floor to hand it to Rin.
"Mom got some more clothes for you."
Rin rolled her eyes and jerked the bag out of Kagura's hand. The Aeropostle bag was stuffed full of fitted skirts and tops. It wasn't the 'fitted' part that she didn't like. Rin wore a lot of tight fitted outfits, simply because her body was wiry and she could pull it off. It was the fad, though, and she didn't like fads.
"But don't worry," the older girl continued. "I snuck these for you."
Rin brightened and smiled. With more excitement this time, Rin took the black and red bag from Kagura and hurriedly went through it. Chains, skinny jeans, Vans, long, black, fitted skirts that you could hardly walk in, basically all the major punk apparel...without all the makeup.
She stood up from her chair and moved toward her closet to hang up her new items.
"Thanks Kagura. I was getting desperate for new clothes." She said with a knowing smile. "And these are the things that no one has. Everyone seems to be drifting toward the screemo-emo look...so I'm going to have to find something different. Again."
"Well, you'll find something." Kagura said, rolling onto her back and playing with her hair.
They both fell silent. Rin stood in her closet door fingering a long sleeve knit top. Kagura lay on the bed her head to the side. She was tired. She took a deep breath, her chest filling with air, and sighed.
"Sesshoumaru's in his room taking a nap." Rin said quietly placing the shirt on a hanger.
"Is he?"
"Yeah. Do you want to go talk to him?"
Kagura closed her eyes. "Maybe in a little while. I don't want to wake him up."
'Yes you do.' Rin's eyes widened at the thought. "I'm sure he won't mind. He probably wants to talk to you anyway."
"Is there something you want to talk about Rin?" Kagura asked. She rolled onto her side and looked at Rin's stiff back, worriedly.
'Yeah...a lot.' What was up with the stupid voice? "No."
"Okay...then I'll go see Sessh."
'You go do that.'
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Sessh. Sesshoumaru? Kagura cracked the door open slightly, letting a sliver of light into the dark room.
A huge lump was sprawled out on the bed. Kagura tip-toed in and shut the door behind her. She wondered toward the sat of the bed and slowly sank down onto it.
Sesshoumaru mumbled something in his sleep making Kagura giggle.
"You're such a cutie." she cooed. She stroked his gleaming silver hair coaxing him to wake up.
"What are you doing?" he asked in a clear, intimidating voice.
Kagura wasn't fazed. "I wanted to talk to you." she giggled.
He sat up, the comforter falling off of his chiseled chest. His shoulder bumped hers as he sat up. The warmth of his skin made hers tingle.
What did you want to talk about?" he asked, leaning against the headboard.
Kagura curled her legs up under her and cocked her head. "Rin said you wanted to talk to me."
"I said no such thing." he replied rubbing his eyes with the heel of his hand.
Kagura's eyebrow's scrunched together. "You sure."
"Yes."
Kagura stared at Sesshoumaru's sleep golden eyes before sighing.
"Okay well, I'll let you go back to sleep." she said. She stood up and turned around
Sesshoumaru's hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. "No. Stay."
Kagura stopped and looked at him her eyes wide.
"Sit." he commanded.
She plopped down, her hair flailing behind her.
"Good girl." he said cockily, caressing her face.
Kagura rolled her eyes and fell onto her back.
"So how many books did you buy today?" he asked.
Kagura thought for a while. "Six...I think."
"What genre?"
Kagura looked up at him. He now sat with one arm propping him up staring down at her. "That's a stupid question."
"Yes. I love to embarrass you though."
She huffed. "Just because I have certain interests doesn't mean you have to judge me for them."
Sesshoumaru laughed. A deep, exhilarating laugh. "People read about what they do not know."
Kagura gasped, wide eyed and red faced. "That's awful." she said pushing his chest.
"But true." he demanded.
"Mm...maybe." Kagura smirked.
"I don't think so."
"Read about it because you don't know." she laughed quietly.
Kagura eeped as Sesshoumaru rolled her over pinned her down. "Take it back."
"I can't."
He swooped down and nipped her ear. "Take it back."
"Okay, okay. I take it back. God, I was only kidding." Despite her reddening ear, she was still giggling.
"Good girl." Sesshoumaru whispered leaning back down to suck on her ear.
"I take that as you apology." she said.
He licked the shell of her ear in reply. She moaned as he pulled her arms above her head and laid down fully on top of her.
Kagura became aware of her thin cami with it's built in bra as Sesshoumaru's hands ran down her arms and over her body.
"Sessh." she whimpered as he let up and she rolled over onto her back. His eyes glistened in the dark. She didn't know how enticing she looked with her lips parts and her hair disarrayed.
She knew it was dangerous to willingly come into a dark room and lay on the bed with a gorgeous man. She knew that she should have went to her room and hung up her clothes.
But no one seemed to care. They acted close to one another when they were all in the family room. The family knew they had kissed a few times. They accepted that even though she was considered a daughter, she wasn't really and once she moved out, she was just a close friend of the family. So she didn't care either.
Sesshoumaru leaned down and lightly pressed his lips to hers. Kagura's eyes fluttered shut as she moved her head to the side.
'This isn't wrong. This isn't wrong.' Was her mantra. But as her lips moved with his, she could feel that something wasn't right.
"No man. This is stupid. We've done it so many times that it isn't funny anymore." Joel pleaded.
"Nope. This is the only way to prove it." Nathan said, shaking his blonde head.
"Whatever." Joel mumbled. He flipped open his phone and dialed the number.
Something vibrated under Kagura's back. She knew there had to be something under there. She just didn't know what.
"Ignore it." Sesshoumaru said, his lips moving over her collarbone.
"Sessh. It's kind of under me." she arched her back to get it. Her chest and stomach touched Sesshoumaru's who growled at the contact.
'Oops.' She thought as she found the phone and flipped it open. "Hello."
"Hey, Kagura. Why are you answering Sesshoumaru's phone?"
Kagura sat up and Sesshoumaru rolled to the side. "Why are you calling it?" she asked warily.
She could hear Nathan laughing in the back ground.
"It's a stupid dare. You know, the usual."
"Oh okay." She handed the phone to Sesshoumaru. "It's Joel."
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Yes?"
"Ello! This ees Elga." Joel said, using a Swedish female accent. " I'm calling on bee-half of Joel. He vanted me to tell you that he ees not the gay fag-got that everyone thinks he ees. Okay thank you. Good-bye. P.S. Elga secretly loves you and vants to have vild animal sex with you. Okay! Good bye." The last part was rushed and was soon followed by a click.
Sesshoumaru closed the phone and handed it back to a laughing Kagura.
"They need a life." he said.
"I thought it was hilarious."
"You would wouldn't you?" he said, crawling toward her. '
"Mmhm." Kagura smiled, but she still felt something was wrong.
"Dinner!" Izayoi yelled from below.
Kagura's stomach growled right before Sesshoumaru kissed her.
"Well, I don't know about you. But I'm starving."
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed before he got out of bed, threw on a shirt, and hoisted Kagura over his shoulder.
"Fine then, we'll finish this later."
"That was totally stupid. Now Kagura thinks I'm gay." Joel complained.
"Naw. She already knew." Nathan laughed.
"I'm not gay!"
"Then why do you call Sesshoumaru so much?"
"Because you dare me!" Joel didn't see how anyone could seriously miss that part.
"You have an option."
Joel grew silent. "Somehow, trying to get Kagura to make out with me doesn't seem like a very good option."
"...because you're gay." Nathan replied.
"That's it." Joel snatched up the phone and threw it at him. Nathan barely dodged. He ran into the living room to get away from the airborne objects. He got halfway through the hallway before he was pegged in the head with a soft football.
"Score. You're out of the game my friend. The next dare is yours."
Okay so this took forever and a day to get out. Work took up all of my time during the summer so please forgive my boss. But now I have quit cheerleading and besides my cheer sponsor and the rest of the cheerleaders being totally pissed at me, everything's has gotten better. So read and review and I promise that the next one will come out sooner...along with all the other fanfics that I have ignored recently.
