Awesome Summer Days

Ch 6 Sleeping Beauty Awakens

Somewhere in the mountains, Sesshomaru has put Akemi on a bed with a few blankets, and the bed was within a cage. "Try to make yourself comfortable." Said Sesshomaru as Akemi finally woke up after many hours.

"Where am I?" Akemi asked.

"You're at my secret hideout in the mountains. We're in a furnished cave. It has heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer." Sesshomaru explained. "Do you like the decorations?"

"They're okay, I guess." Akemi asked. How is it that this cave has heat and air conditioning?"

Sesshomaru explained further, "You see, the hot springs in that room over there keep the cave warm, along with warm air coming out of the cave. In the summer, the cave releases cold air, understand now?"

"I think so." Akemi responded.

"I must apologize for I don't recall I've properly introduced myself. My name is Sesshomaru. What's your name, my beauty?" He introduced.

"My name is Akemi," she said, "but why did you take me here? Are you a stalker?"

"First off, I'm not a stalker. That would be brother." Sesshomaru said.

"Inuyasha?" Akemi asked, interrupting him.

"Yes." said Sesshomaru. "Anyway, Inuyasha and I are always trying to kill each other through Deadly Dodge Ball, which is a game of dodge ball where anyone who has powers can use them, and there is only one rule. Although if I think for a long time." His goes blank. "I don't know."

"What is the rule to Deadly Dodge Ball?" Akemi asked, sitting on the bed.

"The only rule…is to…survive!" he replied. "By the way, I may use you to get to my brother."

"Why me?" Akemi keeps asking questions.

"You're too nosy, woman." Sesshomaru explained. "I noticed you and your friends were with Kikyo, so it was natural to take you. You see, Kikyo, who is Inuyasha's ex-girlfriend, always runs to him when she needs help. Kagome, his girlfriend now, usually convinces Inuyasha to save one of their friends or complete strangers, and then he gives in, and goes to the rescue. His only reason to rescue strangers is for Kagome's love, which is a human. I can barely stand my brother being a hanyou, so I despise human in every way possible."

Akemi gave him a confused look.
