Inuyasha: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

Inuyasha: I wanna chew you out for being a jerk and not inviting us to your authors notes!
Me: ?? thats what your mad about? Damn your so simple minded, I thought that you might have found out that it was me that dyed your hair green in you sleep-
Inuyasha: THAT WAS YOU?!

Inuyasha: And what do you mean by simple minded? Were you insulting me!
Me: ...um, yeah...anyway, ON WITH THE FIC!
Sesshomaru: Again, AkiChan does not own any of us...
I glared at the hand held phone resting in my palm. It was currently emitting a loud beeping sound as the operator's mechanical voice echoed quietly from the ear peice. I had tried to call my parents numerous times at the hotel that they said that they were going to be staying at and they didn't answer any of the times that I had called. And I was starting to get really pissed off.
"Damn you dad! You said that I could call at any time! ARGH!" yelling in frustration I threw my cell phone against the wall, not caring that it had shattered into a thousand tiny peices, most of which fell off of the edge of the balcony, the rest into unknown territory. I turned back to the railing I folded my arms and rested against it, heaving a tired sigh, and staring solemnly out at the wide view. The view was actually quite beautiful during the day, when the sun would reflect off of the windows of the tall apartment buildings and seem to make the leaves on the few trees that lined the streets seem to gleam with a sort of etherial glow. A small, contented smile pulled at my lips as a light breeze blew by, misplacing a few locks of my dark ebony hair.
"Why does this have to be so difficult?" and before I knew it my eyes had welled up with salty tears that began to slide quietly down my cheeks. I was so confused, and conflicted at the same time, this wasn't supposed to happen, I was supposed to grow up and become a well known writer, and marry the man that I love. I wasn't supposed to be thrown into something like an arranged marriage, and at the age of fourteen at that. How could such a modernized country still have such a primitive law? Many other country's have gotten rid of this particular law already, because it was, and still is unethical.
A soft sigh escaped my lips as I brought a hand up and brushed a few stray bits of hair from my face, and raised my head up to stare up at the summer sky.
"Life can be so cruel sometimes," the mumbled words hung in the air for a moment before I heard a soft footstep, as if someone was trying not to be heard. I sighed again, I knew full well who it was and was a little irritated that he was planning on sneaking up behind me.
"What is it Sesshomaru?" I didn't even bother to turn around, I didn't feel much like looking at him at the moment. I didn't really want to see anyone at all. The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the silence continued for a few moments.
"If you're not going to say anything then leave, I don't really feel like talking with anyone..." 'Least of all you,' my hands balled slightly into loose fists beneath my elbows on the railing and my dry, cold lips pursed into a thin line. When exactly did I get so cruel? How could I think something like that? I know that he was rude and completely unsensitive, but that doesn't mean that I should act the same way. I shifted slightly when I heard him pad over to the spot next to me, and glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, watching him as he leaned against the railing. I hastily looked away when I saw him glance at me and returned my gaze to the city below. Then there was more silence.
"I'm sorry," I blinked with surprise. Slowly turning my head to face him I blinked again as I watched him stare up at the sky.
"Excuse me?" a few moments past as another soft breeze blew by, pulling a few strands of his silver hair over his shoulder.
"I said I'm sorry, and I wont repeat myself again."
I just stared at him as he focused on the view, and felt a sort of warmth run through me, then the guilt showed up. 'Stupid guilt,' I frowned slightly and turned back to the sky, watching as the clouds slowly glided along, going where the wind lead them. 'I wish I could do that, then maybe life wouldn't suck so much,' I giggled lightly. Now I sounded like I was some freaky goth chick.
"What is so funny?" I looked up at Sesshomaru to see him giving me a curious look, and gave him a small smile.
"It's nothing," not caring that I might have my hand snapped off for it I reached out and pulled the few stray peices of his hair back over his shoulder and allowed my smile to widen.
"Your forgiven by the way," a small frown creased his brow as he turned his head away.
"I never asked for, nor do I need your forgivness, I merely apologized out of a simple whim" and for reasons that are unkown to the both of us I laughed, I laughed like there was no tomorrow and laughed even harder when I saw the confused and curious look on his usually stoic face. I clutched at my sides and stumbled over to one of the patio chairs that sat next to a small table in the corner of the balcony and wiped the tears of mirth from my now blurry eyes.
"I demand to know what is so funny," his expression was now one that showed irritation and anger, though I could still see the confusion in his eyes. Smiling haughtily up at the confused ice prince I leaned back in my seat and sighed contently.
"What is the point in apologizing if you're not seeking forgiveness Sesshomaru?" allowing a few moments of silence to pass as a thoughtful, yet slightly defeated, expression dawned on his face.
"There is no point in apologizing if you don't want to be forgiven, you apologized because you felt guilty, am I right?" he frowned with apparent annoyance, making me giggle again.
"As I said, I will not repeat myself" I bit my lip and swallowed a laugh.
"But Sesshomaru, you just did" I couldn't hold in my laughter anymore when a look of surprise and realization adorned his previously stubborn looking features and then a light tint of pink appeared on his cheeks in an embarrassed blush.
"Why do I bother putting up with an annoying girl such as yourself" I shrugged with one shoulder as I calmed my last few giggles and sighed again.
"No, the real question here is why do I put up with you?" he glared at me again and turned away.
"How can one girl be so infuriating?" I smiled and stood from the chair and padded up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist holding myself against his back, burying my face in his soft ivory hair, and smirking a bit when I felt him tense in my arms.
"Your so easy to tease Sesshomaru, even easier than Inuyasha and Kouga" I could just tell that he was pouting, and was slightly disappointed that I couldn't see his face, but was pleased with the situation none the less.
"Do you realize how much I hate you right now," I smirked again.
"You could never hate me!" stood on tip toe to speak softly into his ear, and my smirk widened when he shivered from my breath on his neck. 'Ha! That's for teasing me before!'
"Oh is that so? And why can I not hate you," I allowed a small giggle to pass through my lips before I rested my chin on his shoulder and smiled.
"Because you love me to much!" I chirped in a sing-song voice that I usually reserved for teasing Ayame or Sango. He tensed immediately and turned his head to the other side so that I couldn't see his face.
"Do not," I smirked again, this time with a competitive glint in my eye.
"Do to!"
"Do not,"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!" An annoyed and angry growl erupted from his throat at his point, and I could feel the vibrations run through his chest and back as I held him tightly so that he couldn't escape me. Then I started laughing again. He then said something I had heard from Inuyasha and Kouga's mouths before, but never expected Sesshomaru of all people to say.
"Do. Not. Infinity." I nearly choked as my laughter increased to the point where I could barely breath, but couldn't stop laughing, and let go of him so that I could hold my sides.
"Laugh all you want pathetic girl, but I have won this arguement," I peeked up at him through a single squinted eye and tried to subdue my laughter.
"What gasp makes you gasp think gasp you did?" he glared at me before turning back to the railing.
"Because I said so, now stop laughing like a fool and calm down before you suffocate."
When I finally did calm down I returned to my spot leaning on the railing with a bright smile on my face. This wasn't so bad, after Sesshomaru apologized I actually started to feel better. We stood in a comfortable silence again as birds that flew by chirped merrily and the leaves on the trees below rustled in the wind.
"Upset."
"Hm?"
"Upset, I would be upset if you chose my brother, but I could accept your choice none the less."
I stared at him for a moment before realizing what he was talking about, and offered him a bright smile.
"It's all right, I shouldn't have been so harsh on you before, you were just being you and in some weird, twisted, masochistic way I accept that...you are who you are after all, and I wouldn't change you for anything," he turned his head to face me and quirked an eyebrow, in what looked like a playful fashion.
"Oh really?" I giggled at his curious tone and smiled as I looked up at the sky.
"Yup! Just like I wouldn't change any of my friends either, their flaws are what make them, them you know! Just like you wouldn't be you unless you were the ice prince Sesshomaru Taisho!" glancing over at him I giggled again upon spotting what I assumed to be a surly pout gracing his features before turning on my heels and heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" I stopped and glanced back over my shoulder and smiled.
"I promised Inuyasha that I would do something with him today remember? I'll see you later Sessho!" smiling brightly I went through the first door and acended the stairs with ease, heading back into the rest of the house. I felt better now that I had talked to Sesshomaru, and I giggled, knowing that he was probably up there right now brooding over the nickname that I had now officially bestowed upon him, imagining all of the torture that he will have to endure while around me. Oh yes, this was going to be fun.
'Scene Change'
"Will ya shut up already! Your driving me up the god damned wall!" my ears were ringing and my fists were shaking with rage while the look in my eyes simply screamed annoyance. Kouga was going to be the death of me one day.
"Why don't you shut up! You're the one who started the arguement in the first place!" giving one last arrogent gesture I turned away and decided to glare at the lamp on the other side of the room, yes, the lamp would pay later...and by the lamp, I mean Kouga.
"Ha! To chicken to fight me now are ya? You couldn't beat me anyway!" smirking victoriously Kouga continued with his rant. I on the other hand, decided to stop glaring at the lamp across the room, and decided that I was going to take out my anger and frustration on Kouga. Launching myself at him I knocked him clean off of his feet, his yelp of surprise was muffled when his face hit the carpeted floor as I pinned his arms behind his back and used my other hand to shove his face in the carpet.
"How do you feel now? Not so high and mightly now are you Kouga!" smirking with victory and renewed vigor I fisted his hair and rubbed his face back and forth in the rug. Then out of nowhere something hit me in the side of the head, hard. The sheer force alone knocked me clean off of Kouga and onto my side. I reached up and gingerly touched the spot that had been hit and winced when I felt the large lump that had already began to form. I shot up immediately and looked up to glare at whomever had attacked me only to see Kagome kneeling next to Kouga asking him if he was okay! I mean seriously, I was the one who nearly had his head split in two! Scowling I coughed lightly to get their attention. Kagome immediately shot a glare my way, making me flinch.
"Inuyasha! You could have seriously injured Kouga! Don't you ever use your brain when you do these things?" a look of pure incredulity appeared on my face for all but a moment when she had immediately went back to tending to Kouga before I scowled again and crossed my legs and folded my arms across my chest defiantly.
"He got what was comin' to him! All he does is insult me and my intelligence, and talk about how great you are all the time! You'd think that you're all he thinks about," While Kagome just looked curious and surprised Kouga had a furious red blush splashed across his cheeks, and was glaring at me like I had just signed my own death warrent.
"You know what? I think I might reconsider hanging with you today, I can just as easily revoke that promise I made you last night," I blinked and upon remembering that we were supposed to hang out today I began waving my hands frantically in front of myself.
"No wait Im sorry! I'll behave I swear!" she tapped her finger on her chin thoughtfully as I sat there watching her impatiently, but straining not to yell at her. Then she smiled, but it wasn't her nice smile if you catch my drift. It was that one that screams Your in trouble and your gonna pay whether you know why or not. And I knew that nothing good could possibly come of that smile. I gulped and moved back a few inches as she helped Kouga up and walked up to me, with a positively devious grin on her face.
"Okay, but we are doing what I want today, no complaing got it," it was a command, not a question so I nodded hurriedly before getting hauled to my feet and dragged from the room, only just catching a glimps of Kouga's shocked and very confused face. I would have enjoyed that if it weren't for the fact that I was currently being dragged to my doom. And before I knew it we were out the door and out the front gate, I looked up at the sky dramatically as Kagome continued to drag me and cried wavy tears of agony. What in kami-sama is she going to do to me? Why me? Why!?' and giving the mansion one last glance, I saw that bastard Sesshomaru standing in Kagome's bedroom window, smirking down at me as if he knew that I was about to die a slow and incredibly painful death. I glared at him before being pulled around a corner and and yanked through a crowd of people. Yup. Life officially sucked. Oh, and did I forget to mention that god hated me? Cause that's sort of important.
AN/ I hope ya'll liked chapter 15, I liked the Kagome and Sesshy scene the best though, they are my all time favorites! w If I saw them in real life I'd be all like, OMFG! You two are like the awesomest couple EVA! You totally rock! dies from the shock and excitement 3 I love them they kick ass! Anyway, please reveiw!

Me: oO hehe...did I say that I'd mess with your hair? I meant to say that I wont mess with your hair! hehe "
