Gabe: hello, readers of my creator's story, Rumors and Gifts! Creator is kind of tired at the moment and she asked me to tend to this chapter after she wrote it for you guys. *blush* please enjoy!
It's been 3 days. 3 days since InuYasha received the tessaiga from his alpha.
And he loved it.
If you happened to walk by InuYasha's house when school was out, you'd see him training vigorously with that sword. His skin would be decorated in sweat, and his eyes would be glowing fiercly.
InuYasha wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowering the tessaiga. He decided to take a break. He needed to complete his homework, anyway.
As he headed inside, he wondered what his next gift would be. It was supposed to be jewelry, if he remembered correctly, but what kind? What would it look like? A sigh escaped his pink lips as he found himself in his bedroom.
He worked on his homework for an entire hour and a half. Izayoi had come back in that amount of time and wished him well before starting on dinner. Finding himself with another half hour to waste before dinner, the bored Hanyou decided to continue practicing.
He paused once outside, inhaling the delicious scent of spring approaching. His ears twitched and he looked down. Another package? Already?
Sitting lotus style on the floor, InuYasha left out an annoyed "tch." Wasn't it a little early for another gift? Then again, his alpha could send it any time he wanted. He opened the package and pulled out it's contents, eyes wide in surprise.
It was a silver necklace with two stones set in it. A ruby-InuYasha's birthstone-and a citrine, to be exact. So his Alpha must have a birthday in November. Who, though? At least 4 people had a birthday then, the King of the Grade Sesshomaru included.
Frowning, InuYasha sighed and brought the necklace in.
"What is that, InuYasha?" Izayoi asked, taking the necklace from him with a delicate grasp.
"The third gift," InuYasha mumbled.
"It's very pretty," she sighed, tracing the gems. She glanced at her son. "May i…?"
InuYasha sighed in irritation but nodded, allowing his mother to put it on. He then left the house, intended to go for a walk to clear his mind.
It didn't work out like that.
He was halfway to the school when he spotted in a nearby clearing Sesshomaru and Naraku seeming to have an argument. He found a good hiding spot nearby in a tree and eavesdropped.
"..ine, Sesshomaru," Naraku said, "No matter how fast you give those damned gifts, he'll still be my beta."
"You are wrong," Sesshomaru replied calmly, flicking a lick of silvery hair out of his face, "You do not own him."
Naraku's ruby eyes narrowed. "Says who?"
Sesshomaru's eyes flashed. "Does it matter?" he turned and walked away calmly. Naraku growled and turned the other direction, walking away.
As InuYasha made his way home, he couldn't help but wonder-who were they talking about?
