Naraku's Mind Games

Rin's Illness

Rin's head slumped slightly tot he side of her pillow, towards Sesshomaru's seated form. He gently picked up her head and tucked a pillow underneath, not bothering to move her away. Her fever still hadn't come down despite it being a full day since she first got it. Sesshomaru had dismissed all his duties in Sorai's hands and stayed in her room. He couldn't bring himself to even think about anything else right now, let alone about work.

Kagome let out a breath of air from where she was on the sofa. She had forced him to let one of them take turns staying as the second person in Rin's room. Right now it was her shift, and before Miroku had stayed.

Sesshomaru supposed he should thank them sometime...but they had insisted. He was staying by Rin day and night and he could make out much more time before he felt the need to go to sleep. They were only trying to comfort him, he realized. If someone had to stay with Rin, it could have been one of many castle healers or nurses. Sesshomaru looked over her form, calmly leaning against the sofa side, almost asleep. Ever since they killed Naraku, the body swaps had ceased abrubtly and now he felt the mind reading powers waning too. Amazingly, no one knew about them yet. He hoped it would stay this way, and they would quietly fade without anyone else ever having to know.

He had left Rin's side, once, to change into something slightly more decent. He didn't think he would remain sain after reading all those distrbing thoughts from the various nurses when he was trying to think. It getting extremely annoying after the first five seconds.

Kagome slid her hand across the shikon jewel around her neck absentmindedly. There were only three shards left, the one that Kohaku had, and the two in Kouga's legs. She didn't want to bring up that topic yet. Kohaku didn't evem remember dying, and she highly doubted that both Sango and Kohaku would be at peace with this. Maybe Kohaku could continue to live with the jewel shard...? that way she could continue to travel through times. Choosing an era was far too difficult, she knew that without trying. On one hand there was her family, and then her friends. Although she had lived in the modern era since birth, the past few years travelling through times was when she'd been the happiest. And even if she could somehow find Inuyasha and Sesshomaru in her era, sango and miroku would have been dead, something she couldn't handle.

She had been gifted to meet them all, and she was going to use that and KEEP meeting them. She would live double lives, she decided. Maybe she could make a puppet like naraku had, or a shikigami to take her place while she was in the fuedal era? After all, how many people got the chance to live two totally different lives at once?

Sesshomaru slid his feet off the bed and raised himself. "Kagome, I'm going out for a bit. Stay here with Rin." she nodded, her eyes still closed. He had begun using her name more freqently now. Ever since they had defeated Naraku there was something telling him that she was a friend, and should be adressed such. Not that he would ever tell her so, though. There was a limit to how mushy and sentimental a taiyoukai could get.

The gardens were always a place to relax, he thought, walking out into a deserted garden. The entire castle had taken on a grim atmostphere as the news of Rin's illness. Even the demons in the castle who were still preduced towards humans despite their Lord adopting a human girl as a daughter had payed some respect and toned down for a bit. Sorai's doing, most probably, he thought. She would do something like that, telling them to shut up right now.

He was still worried over Rin's state. She hadn't woke up since yesterday and was still burning with fever. If only he could do something else...the miko's medicines had backfired on her, it seemed and now he wasn't willing to try anything except for what she'd already used to. Which happened not to be working. He sighed. If only someone could come up with a way to get Rin out of the fever... if Sorai found something in the books that the healers missed, like she found a solution to everything else. He could picture her, unlike his demon mask that was stotic, hers were cheerful. They both served the same purpose, to hide emotions. Except her's was just far better suiting on her.

Speak of the devil. He felt a presence next to him that was, like him, enjoying the garden's tranquiility. Sesshomaru flicked his eyes upwards towards her for a moment. Her face was tilted upwards towards the sun, and she genuinely seemed to be enjoying the weather. Her thoughts, however, told differently.

She had come for him. In a flash of realization that had always stayed in the shadows of his mind, Sesshomaru suddenly became concious of how she had always been there for him, even when he didn't want it. He liked her, he concluded, he always had. Just now more then ever.

In a flash of sliver hair he turned around and walked inside without another word. Although coming from anyone else, it might have been consided a rude dismissing, but Sorai knew her Lord better then that. In his language, he was acknoladging her company and excusing himself. She smiled to herself. So much could be said through silence.

Kohaku and Sango ran through the hallways at full speed. Obviously something the matter, they didn't bother excusing themselves from the people they startled/knocked over, nor registered that Rin's room was off limits while the healer checked her when they burst through.

"Sesshomaru..." Sango panted. The healer, a middle aged demon pointed out the door. Rin currently had her shirt off and was lying back up, still in a sleepy trancelike state to let the healer to check the sandpaper rash spreading across her back. Kohaku immediately turned beet red and dragged his sister out of the room, blushing furiously and trying not to show it. Once outside, Sesshomaru loomed over them.

"There's a sign, you know." he said irritably to Sango, who looked up and acknoladged the 'do not enter' sign (Kagome's brainwave) on the door with an 'oh'.

"My apologies, Lord Sesshomaru." Kohaku began. "-but we think we just figured out why Rin's liked this."

Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched. "And what makes you think that you have any proper idea?" he doubted them.

Sango crossed her arms. "Becasue we're humans, and your healers and demons. That's why." Sesshomaru mentally kicked himself. Getting demon healers for a human girl. Stupid of him, although it had always worked before. Perhaps Rin had only gotten mild colds and coughs before...

oOf course the demon healers wouldn't be familiar with a human disease, if that's what Rin had. Sango had a point. Maybe she had a better idea.

"Over here." he motioned over to his most public study, happening to be closest.

The sibling sat down and fidgeted with their clothes, clearly worried about of their hunch was correct.

"I-we," Sango began. "-went over Rin's symptoms and to us..." She paused, sighed, then took another breath. "-it looks like scarlet fever."

Koahku nodded. Sesshomaru cocked his head the slightest in inquiry. "Rin...she has a fever, a sore throat, a rash and slight stomach pain, right?" Kohaku confirmed.

"There was a time when this disease spread across the demon slayers village too. It mostly attacks on children, and it can affect anything."

"Anything?" sesshomaru asked. Sango explained further. "It depends on person to person. Even if the life is safe, some children lose their sight, other's the ability to walk etc."

sesshomaru blanched. It was that dangerous after passing the life or death phase!?

"Is there anything to combat this 'scarlet fever'?" he asked, hoping all of his existence into the answer. He almost screwed his eyes shut in concentration.

Sango shook her head apologetically. "I honestly have no clues at all." There might be a cure, there might not be...

Sesshomaru felt dread flood through his body. It was strange, sapping away at his energy, cascading through his body like a waterfall. He couldn't let any thing happen to Rin! It was too devastating to even think about what could happen if he didn't do anything fast.

He had always been a practical person. He had never tried to hide from the truth, no matter how painful it was. He hated the shadows that blocked out the light of the truth. Yet, right now, he wanted nothing more to escape from the horrible reality. Rin, dieing. Get real, he wanted to say. He couldn't imagine Rin not being around, (even though he had seen her dead once before).

When she had asked him if he would remember her when she died, he had wondered where she got the idea to ask him that. But honestly, he couldn't ever forget her...she had forged a path in his life with her cheery smile. Now things were abnormal without her. Talk about infectious; and it wasn't her disease either.

Sango stood up. "Me and Kohaku are going to get Kaede from Edo. We'll be back either tomorrow morning or late this night. Tell Rin to hang on." Sesshomaru had become an invaulable friend to all of them. Even if it weren't for the Rin everyone loved so much, it would still be for Sesshomaru. They would still go to the ends of earth to help each other out. He had, risked his life to fight Naraku (for the sake of mushy dramatics, lets conveniently forget that Naraku was targeting him too) with them, and had helped them win. Truly an invaluable friend.

Kagome sat across from everyone at the dinner table. Even though not many people had appitites at times like this, they still met as a custom and a place to gather. Miroku, the voice of the group, announced everything. "Sango has told me about her suspicions concerning Rin's illness." he said, then paused. Taking on a commander like tone, "We've decided to break up here." Sesshomaru jerked his head up. Break up?

"Sango and Kohaku are going to Kaede, Kagome and Inuyasha are positive that her era will supply something only for scarlet fever that won't backfire, Kouga says that his clan had the most competent doctor for demons and humans in the entire area, and I STILL think I saw a healer in the human village a days walk on foot from here. So we have about five different plans to get Rin up and going. We can't possibly do more for her right now."

"So...you'll all be back in two days at the most." Shippo concluded. He himself had wanted to stay with Rin. Sesshomaru nodded abrublty. They all were going so far for Rin...

"Very well. I shall await you." he excused himself and returned to Rin's room.

The rash was spreading across her face now. It was a sandpapery texture and dry. She had flushed cheeks and was pale around the mouth. According to Sango, they were also symptoms. So was the fact that her tounge's pigment was a strawberry pink. "Rin...hold on. We're getting somewhere." he murmered amost silently.
He sensed a presence and called out:"Come out, Sorai." Sorai slipped open the door and stepped inside, the redness on her cheeks no less then Rin's.

"Forgive me, milord...I though she might want these there." Sorai held out a bouquet of lemon daylilies fresh from the gardens. He nodded and stepped back and watched Sorai placing them on the table. She was fond of Rin, Sorai was. Sesshomaru shook his head slightly. Now was not the time for thoughts like that. But still...she comforted him.

"Inuyahsa, so you think we can get there in the morning?" Kagome asked, sitting by the campfire with Inuyasha, Sango and Kohaku. He nodded. They had been running/flying all day and now were taking a well deserved rest in an open meadow. Acording to Inuyasha, they were still about six hours run from Edo from where Sango and Kohaku would hurridly kindap Kaede and a horse and race back to Sesshomaru's castle as fast as they could. Kaede was a lot more open minded about demons then most other humans or preistesess, (most proabbaly because her sister had fallen in love with a half demon), but she would have three million questions before she agreed. Three million questions that they didn't have time to answer. So they had decided that Sango would grab Kaede, Kohaku would pack all the herbs in sight, and they would put Kaede on a horse and lead her to the castle. Boy was she going to be pissed, Kagome thought with a chuckle. It was a good thing that Inuyahsa and herself would be five hundred in the future, safely out of Kaede's way. They were going to go jump in the well without any second thoughts.

She let her mind open to Inuyasha, wondering what he could be thinking about with that stern expression of his. To her surprise, it took a lot more effort to get inside his mind; maybe the spell was wearing off? She had thought it because she had a constant barrier inside the castle, but now...

0000000000000000000

Kouga sighed and shifted against the tree branch. His clan's moutains were a lot futher then Edo, but then again the doctor was the best one for miles too. He had covered half the distance and was now ready to collapse despite the shikon jewel shards in his legs. I just hope that Fudo can do something for the runt...

0000000000000000000

Ahhhh... thought Miroku as he relaxed in an inn's bath. He hadn't found the healer he was looking for and finally lodged for the night. Sesshomaru's castle was an entire day at a brisk pace and there was no way he could go back like this. He just hoped he could find the guy...or preferably a lady healer soon. If he couldn't by the two day time limit, he had to go back empty handed.

Until tomorrow then, he resolved and concentrated on relaxing. (A/N: that sounds weird...concentrating on relaxing?)

0000000000000000000

Sesshomaru trudged ( In his mind. He's too graceful to TRUDGE.) to his room. There was no way he could go any longer without sleep. It would be light and short, but he needed it if he was to keep up his strength. He really didn't want to, but his body insisted. Sorai was to be sitting by Rin tonight. He didn't want to leave her side for a second. Rin was still burning with fever, although she had woken up once for an hour or so, eaten something light and went beck into her fitful sleep. Sesshomaru grabbed his sleeping yukata, a servant's futon and made an full turn back to Rin's room. Tonight he would crash there.

Soria raised her eyebrow when she saw Sesshomaru enter the room. "Milord...weren't you going to sleep?" she asked from her place on a wide comfortable chair, wearing her sleeping robe.

"I am." he replied, lay out the futon and headed to the bathroom. When he returned wearing his yukata, there was a bed in place of it instead. Sorai smiled slightly. "There are more then enough beds in this castle for milord to sleep on."

He nodded and lay down, taking the sheets across his exposed ankles. After a while he turned on his side. Then shifted again. This was getting unfortable. Sorai wasn't sleeping. She was simply sitting there with a book in hand, checking Rin's fever from time to time. It was getting a bit akward to sleep in in front of your advisor. He heard her get up and the book shutting. Her footfalls out side the hall came back into the room a moment later with something large and bulky.

He opened one eye. For some reason it smelled rather like...cane. That's why. There was a chit (divider) between covering his face and torso from Rin and Sorai.

He smiled slightly. This was a lot more comfortable, still being by Rin and not feeling uneasy by sleeping in other's presence.

Sorai was so thoughtful, he reflected as he drifted off into a light slumber.

0000000000000000000

"It's dawn! Wake up!" Kagome called out cheerily. Normally it had to be Inuyasha who would drag her out of her sleeping bag at this time, but not today. Today she actually set the alarm for an hour before dawn. They had a lot to do.

"Uuugghhh...Kilala...five more minutes..." Sango mumbled and closed her half opened eyes again. Kohaku got up slighlty more dignified. It seemed he was more of a morning person then Sango.

Inuyasha was no better off. He was quite tired, running all of yesterday with Kagome switching from on his back to Kilala, but they couldn't help it now. Maybe in the village they would get horses for everyone. "Mmmm...poke me again and I'll cut...you with Tetsuiga..." he grumbled still in a sleepy state, not registering where they were or who was waking him. "Inuyahsa, if you don't wake up, then Sango's going to beat you to breakfast!" she threatned falsely up to the tree. Sango was in no mood to get up yet.

Sango groaned and turned on her futon. Inuyasha went back into heavy sleep, murmering from time to time, "Mmmm...Ramen..."

Kagome was starting to get annoyed. Rin's health depended on this! Granted the two couldn't register that right now due to their sleepy state, but still, Kohaku had gotten up. Maybe because he was really worried for Rin?

Kohaku smiled a bit as he ate breakfast. It was to get going again. He was tired, granted, but at least this way he didn't have the feeling on his shoulder that he should be doing more for Rin.

"I'll wake Inuyasha." he told Kagome, who nodded through her noodles. With expertise ease, Kohaku swung himself up on the lower branch of the tree Inuyahsa was sleeping on. He gently reached his hand upward and poked Inuyahsa in his side anything but gently. The hanyou balked jerked in reflex then murmered, "Kagome...stop that...mmmgggghhh..."( half snoring sound half 'mmmm' ing sound)

Kohaku raised an eyebrow. So he thought he was Kagome did he? They looked nothing like each other...hopefully. The hanyou was still very much asleep. He reached up and shouted next to Inuyasha's ear, "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha balked, opened his eyes and tried clambered up the tree branch immediately. Unfortunatly first thing in the morning his body didn't have as much balance as he wouldn have liked it to, and he went crashing to the ground. Kohaku stared from above, amused. It seemed that even if he said that phrase inuyasha would fly towards the ground out of habit. Hehehe...

Inuyahsa sprung up and shook his fist at Kohaku who was calmly was gathering his haori from the branch. "KOHAKU! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? IT'S SCARY ENOUGH HAVING KAGOME SAY THAT ALL THE TIME! I DON'T NEED YOU TOO!"

Kagome chuckled. Sango grumbled something incoherent, silently got out of her futon, grabbed the largest rock she could find (since it was a meadow, it was about Kilala's untransformed size) stomped over to Inuyasha, and smashed it on his shoulder.

He yelped. "Owwwww...sango what the hell are you-"

he stopped when he saw the murderous expression on her face. "Inuyasha, next time you wake me up by screaming and yelling, the rock WILL go on your head."

Kagome chuckled and watched as Inuyasha scrambled behind her to cower from Sango for a few minutes. "Inuyasha, you should know better to wake up a sleeping woman." He shook his head. "well then learn that now. Just because I'm not nearly that grumpy doesn't mean anyone else isn't either. Especailly stay away from powerful women with weapons. DEADLY weapons. Like Sango."

HHe pouted and sat down to eat his ramen after washing up.

000000000000000000000000000000000

Kouga was awoken by the sun filtering through the trees overhead into his eyes. Boy was he...TIRED. But he had stuff to do today. He yawned and forced himself to get up. After a quick breakfast of an apple he found (he didn't have time to hunt right now) he set off again. Hopefully he would get there in good enough time to rest for an hour or two before bringing Fudo the healer back with him.

I wonder if Fudo still remebers his human healing techniqes? He had given it up long ago. The actual story was that he had fallen in love with a human girl from a villlage and had entered her father's appreinticeship (he was a healer too) as a way of seeing her everyday. After that he had unconciously become quite good at healing humans and they used to come to him at his clininc (right by his lover's house). But when the girl was taken as a bride by one of the warlords in the regions, he had given up coming to the village for anything at all, let alone for healing humans.

He USED to be a very competent human doctor...

It was a wonder how he had manged to hide his demon identity and tail for that amount of time... when he was pretneding to be a human he had torn off his claws and trimmed his fangs. He had barely been stopped from tearing his tail off too from his wolf demon friends. The other miracle was how his tribe's spciety had accepted him back after he was gone for so long.

Oh well. Kouga shrugged. It wasn't his problem now. Right now he was hoping Fudo still remebered something from his youth...

0000000000000000000

Miroku sat down on a wooden fence. He had searched for some time now, and was now forced to conclude that the doctor he saw was in some other village. Some other village he didn't have time to go to. He would have to set off back to Sesshomaru's castle after a few hours. It would be alright if he go there early...he was empty handed too.

0000000000000000000

"BE GENTLER YE FOOLS!" Kaede screamed from atop her horse to two demon slayers, also on horses.

"My apolpogies, but we didn't have time for doubts, preistess." Kohaku adressed the lady riding by him. She 'humpg'ed. "When did ye come back to your sister anyways?" she asked after a while.

"When we defeated Naraku." Sango said, not being able to contain the hint of pride in her voice. "Ye what? Why must ye not tell me these things? Ye even stayed in Sesshomaru's castle instead of coming back here and telling me!" Sango winced. "we were barely able to make it that far, and that too thanks to Hatchi. Sory for not telling you sooner but we all were wounded badly. And really badly wounded. Like smashed shoudlers and holes through legs."

She smiled slightly when she saw the expression of pity on Kaede's face. "Ye shuld have known that I'm not predujiced towards demons as much as other humans."

Sango nodded. "Despite being demon slayers, we aren't that much either. But really, you remember Rin, right? She's ill with something dangerous and every minute counts."

Kohaku grimaced at the sound of the reason why they were hurrying. "I hope you put horses for Kagome and Inuyasha?" he asked. He knew that the hanyou was far too tired to ran all the way back with Kagome on him. "I did. I even put up a note in a place even they couldn't miss." She responded with a smug smile and then turned back around.

"Come on! We have to get there as soon as possible!" Sango cracked the whips of her horse and sped off. Kaede and Kohaku followed. The plan was to ride on horse back for as long as they could before switching to Kilala, their actual form of transport. It would take about five days on foot, two on horse back, and in a combination of horseback and Kilala, hopefully less then a day and night.

"Rest up, Kilala." Sango pet the two tail resting in a basket on the side of the horse. "We'll be needing you soon." Kilala purred.

0000000000000000000

"Hi, gramps, mom, souta! I hope you all are fine, I don't have time for staying right now, mom, could you just help me run over to the pharmacy to get a children's medicine of scarlet fever? I'll be back later, I just need it now! Thanks! I love you!" Sakura Higurashi gaped as her daughter grabbed her and dragged her out the door towards the medical store.

Inside, Gramps and Souta were frozen in place. "Hyper teenagers..." they both grumbled simulataneously, chuckled, and went back to what they were doing.

0000000000000000000

Kagome slapped her forhead. "Sango didn't have to make it so obvious..." outside the well, there were two horses and a HUGE sign made of chart paper and crayons that were proabaly shippo's, saying, 'HERE! INUYASHA, KAGOME! HORSES!'

She had even gone as far so to stick a sign on the front each horse saying, 'Miko kagome', and 'Baka Inu'.

Inuyasha fumed when he read his horses's sign. "SANGO! WAIT TILL I GET TO YOU!" he screamed into the sky.

Miles away, Sango shivered suddenly. What's with this...horrible feeling?

Miles away from Sango (the other way) Kagome was now laughing her wits out on the edge of the well. "Inu...yasha...I can't believe...this..." she gasped, while watching Inuyasha trying to remember how to ride a horse. It had taken him minutes only to get mounted.

"Shuddup! I do know how to ride a horse! I just...forgot. It's been way too long!" he snapped at her while trying to figure out which rein was supposed to go where.

Kagome strightnened. "Well, then it's a good thing that I learned how to ride after coming here!" she walked over to Inuyasha, placed the riens properly in his hands, and mounted on her own one.

"Aahhhh! I remember now! You do this, right Kagome?" He cracked the reins and the horse took off running. "Aahhhh! How do stop Kaaaaaagggooommmmmeeee??" He yelled as the horse carried him in the distance. "It's alright! We're not stopping anywhere! Straight to Sesshomaru's castle!" She called back to him, then gently pressed her heels into the horse's sides and took off after the hanyou.

0000000000000000000

"Kagome! Stop! You can't do this!" Inuyasha called out to the miko riding behind him. "Come on Inuyasha! We don't have time to be too slow! We have to do this as fast as possible!" she replied. Then she watched with shock as Inuyasha's horse halted in mid trot, shooting him forward onto the ground infront of it. "What's with you?!" he asked the horse irriatably. It neighed. "Stupid horse..." he grumbled as he climbed back on the horse. "Inuyasha, what's with that horse?" Kagome asked. It stopped and started when ever he talked...

"I dunno." he shrugged. The he grinned. "I suppose any horse would go nuts if you had to say with that nutcase Kaede for too long, you know, Kagome!" There it goes again. At the sound of the last word he said, it abrublty started trotting again.

"No way." Kagome mouthed. "Inuyasha, say my name again."

"Huh? What?" he asked from atop his -who had recently started-walking horse.

"Just do it!" she commanded. If this were the case, she was going to want an explaination from somone...

"Kagome." he stated flatly. The horse took off galloping at full speed. "Kkkkaaaaggggoooooooooooooooooommee!" he shouted in desperation to plead her to do aomething and the horse halted abrubtly, jolting Inuyasha and earning many curses from him.

"I knew it!" Kagome proclaimed and rode to catch up with her companion. "Kaede, next time I see you, you have to tell me WHY EXACTLY you named and taught a horse only to listen to the command of my name!"

Inuyasha raised his eyebrows. "Well...it can't hurt to try. Kagome." The horse started in a decent trot. He smiled. "Probably her payback for busting up her supplies, eating her food, and drawing demons towards her hut all the time...Kagome!" he cracked the reins and took off full speed towards Sesshomaru's castle.

How was that? Please tell me how this chapter was! I apologize for the lack of humor but there has to be a few-only a few- serious chapters too. Sorry.

Review please! Will Rin be saved? Or will she succumb to the same scarlet fever that has claimed so many lives? Have you finally been able to guess who will pair with Sesshomaru? Should it be Sango? Or should I make him gayer then 'Happy Bunny Fun Land?'

Honestly; I would love to do that. I'm crazy for yoai (is that how you spell it?) and BL.

(notice my obsession with KKM and other shows of the type as well my adoration of the Bankotsu/Jakotsu pairings.. Not to mention that my favorite Bleach pairing is Byakuya/ Renji?)

Look up Byakuya and Renji- you'll love how they look and their charcters are so awesome!

Usagi: (out of nowhere) ok, shuddup. Happy? You've had you next chapter advertising time. And told of your weird girlish obsession with BL. (shudders)

Me: (shocked) where the hell did you come from?! And shuddup; you just think like that 'cause you're a guy. Most girls find BL unbeleiveably hot.

Usagi: I'm a dead charcter. I can come up any where I want to. And I don't even want to MEET the people you call 'most girls'...

Me: (eyes shining) YES! AWESOME! You're back Usagi! I was almost crying when I had to kill you! Say...you don't think Bankotsu could come too?

Usagi: I dunno. Proabaly could if he wanted to. Why?

Me: whddya mean 'why'? HE'S HOT JUST TO HAVE AROUND!! (goes into super fangirlish flutter-happy mode) Or maybe like Wolfram from KKM...or Gunter...or Ukitake taichou (swoons)...or...HITSUGAYA TAICHOU!!

Usagi: (slaps forehead and drags authoress out of sight) I don't need you listing everyone you like. How come me and Sesshomaru are out of it though? Or naraku even? He isn't bad looking!

Me: I know. But Sesshomaru is in angst right now, your already here, and yes, naraku IS pretty...but he's busy swearing vengence on Katana...AGAIN. Plus I plan to make Sesshomaru elope with Sango.

Usagi: (rolls eyes) Yeah, sure, like a taiyoukai and a demon slayer will EVER run off to get married- especially since they both have thier own love lives.

Me:You wanna bet that, Usagi? Ooooookay, MEANWHILE, let's get Kutcki Byakuya around here sometime...

Usagi: Kids, this is why you DON'T overdose on coffee! I just watched her drown the entire supply of the house in like two days.
