A/N: HI!
Oh My Gods! 21
...Recap...
"Aimo aimo
Neederu ruushe
Noina miria
Enderu plodea
Fotomi
Koko wa attaka na umi da yo..."
Rin couldn't deny her talent for singing--it had been her passion since she was eight, after she was no longer mute. In a way, singing kept her sane because the ever lingering silence dispersed with her sweet voice. She often immersed herself in the little world her singing brought forth...
...so she never noticed something glowing bright yellow in front of her...
...End Recap...
"Ruurei rureia
Sora o mau hibari wa namida
Ruurei rureia
Omae wa yasashi midori no ko..."
Rin, at this point, closed her eyes and allowed melodic vibes to flow throughout her being. The foreign words to the tune in her head steadily came to her as the song progressed--she didn't know what she was saying, but it all melded into a beautiful lullaby. She had heard this song before...but from where?
"Aimo aimo
Neederu ruushe
Noina miria
Enderu plodea
Fotomi
Koko wa attaka na umi da yo..."
While she sang, she thought of Sesshoumaru recovering completely and not ever being suspectible to death again. She imagined him leaning against a tree in a large clearing as he watched her sing to the mother nature surrounding them--both of them happy and free from any worries. The sky was cerulean blue, and the grass was emerald green--the birds sang along with her and forest animals scurried about.
But best of all...Sesshoumaru was smiling...in content...because he was with her.
It was a wonderful daydream, but Rin finally opened her eyes. And abruptly, her melodic voice came to an abrupt halt. Her hands had been glowing! She snatched them away from her fiancé as if he was alit on fire and stared in awe at her appendages. They stopped glowing when she stopped singing...what was going on?!
"You can't stop if you want it to work."
Rin's eyes widened. Oh my gods... She switched her gaze to lie on his face and...she was met with smoldering honey irises no longer hidden by tired eye lids. His expression was blank, but he...he...
"Y-You're...you're...awake..." Her words came out as a strained croak--she was so shocked she could barely think, much less talk!
"Keep singing, Rin...just keep singing..." He cast her a tired glance that beckoned her to continue, surprising her back into reality. She had no choice but to push back her million questions and do as bid.
"Mune no
Oki ni nemuru
Ooki na ooki na
Itsukushimi wa..."
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes as he listened to her tune, and Rin kept her eyes on her hand, mesmerized by the way they glowed a soft yellow matching the sun in warmth. Eventually, even her fiancé was covered in a thin glowing sheet matching her hands...and as each moment passed, he appeared to grow stronger and less languid.
Was she...somehow healing him?
"Tsunagu
Te no hira no
Ondo de shizuka ni
Me o samasu yo...
Koko wa attaka na umi da yo..."
Rin once again lost herself in the lullaby, but this time her eyes were locked in a gaze with Sesshoumaru. She smiled, immensely happy that he was awake and no longer comatose. With her happiness, accompanied by extreme relief, her vigor returned and the sweet note in her voice, if possible, increased.
"Aimo aimo
Neederu ruushe
Mukashi minna
Hitotsu datta sekai
Oide attaka na sora da yo..."
All too soon it came to an end, taking along with it the odd glowing that appeared out of no where. However...Rin had questions she needed answered! As she inspected him, Sesshoumaru's wounds now seemed like mere scratches that would heal by the following morning. This only meant his demonic blood was no longer hindered and could adequately repair his body...huh?
"Are you ok now?" She timidly asked, fearing to touch him in fear that she was just seeing an illusion and he was actually still gravely wounded.
But he dispersed her doubts with his softly said words, "Perfectly fine...thanks to you."
The way he stared at her made the human teen blush profusely. His gaze was so intense, so smoldering that the honey of his irises consumed her and left her bewildered. Neither of them moved an inch...not until he raised his hand to tenderly cup her cheek, rubbing the pad of his thumb across her rosy bottom lip.
Rin gulped, not knowing how to proceed with her fiancé's peculiar actions. Maybe being so close to death had changed him... Nah. "Sessh..." She began, grasping the hand on her cheek before placing a chaste kiss on its palm as she usually did. "Can you explain what I just did to you?"
"You mended the barrier around me...technically, you prevented me from dying." Again with his unreadable look...his ardent eyes...
"How do you know?"
"Rin..." He paused to sit up, wincing as he did so for not all of his injuries completely healed. "The song you sang...it was in the ancient tongue of immortals, known only by immortals. It's a lullaby my governess often sang to me as a pup when I was ill."
What?! A lullaby his governess--AKA nanny--used to sing to him?! How had she of all people known it, then? She wasn't secretly stalking him, was she? Impossible...Rin wouldn't comprehend the ancient immortal language even if it was telepathically ingrained into her brain.
No wonder the words sounded foreign...what he understood, she didn't. "So...what does this mean exactly?"
"It means," Sesshoumaru leaned in close, so close he was merely a hairsbreadth away from claiming her lips as his, "that you are mine and only mine."
She hadn't uncovered his hidden meaning, and was about to ask for an explanation she actually understood in Japanese, but she was abruptly cut off with a sweet kiss that curled her toes, cleared her frazzeled mind, and had her yearning for more. Rin blithely sighed after he drew away, and paused for a second, pondering her next course of action.
She could still ask for an explanation...
...or she could shove it up her ass and kiss this dog demon into oblivion.
It didn't take Rin long to glomp him while laughing like a crazed woman. "I'm so glad to have you back, Sessh! You ever leave me again and you'll be going on a double date with the Skillet of Doom and the Slipper of Death!"
For once, he had the dignity to cringe.
"You fucking asshole! This is why you're supposed to be dead!"
"Why, Inuyasha, I never knew you were so fond of me."
"Bastard! Go fucking die already! I was right and you were wrong!"
"I don't want to die alone...get the hint, little brother?"
"I hate you so much...gods, I'm gonna roast you on a stake and feed you to Kagome's talking watermelon!"
"Hey! I told you I was dreaming!"
"About freakin' watermelons that kidnap bridegrooms, and then dust bunnies suddenly take over the world! Wench, I don't care what you think--that aint normal!"
"You know...last night, I had a dream about talking eggs...I married a really sexy one..."
"How lovely, I lost my fiancée to a supernatural and most importantly, fictional egg..."
"At least your fiancée doesn't fantasize about demented watermelons..."
"Oh gods! Can you two just shut up and pass the popcorn?!"
"Keh! That's what you get for hitting me earlier!"
"I need all the supplements I can get..."
"Yeah, as if popcorn is nutritional..."
"Rin, hush. I am trying to enjoy this mortal-produced disaster called a 'movie'."
"I think I should've just let you die..."
"I think I should've just killed Inuyasha when I had the chance..."
"Don't we feel loved, bastard?"
"Overtly so."
The two couples were actually watching a movie in the livingroom now that everyone was healed or steadily healing. Miroku and Sango weren't present because they had to finish moving into their apartment across the hall--and hey! They were moving in with Kouga and Ayame since the wolf demon finally caved in!
Well, he first realized he would be closer to Kagome if he agreed...
Anyway, Inuyasha and Kagome had been shocked to see that Sesshoumaru wasn't dead, especially the hanyou. He had thrown a fit after he had become so emotional over the whole ordeal. But Rin had been kind enough to heal him to soothe his growing fury, and they all discovered she could only activate the energy given to her through the Shurikan by singing in the immortal tongue...
Strange...
So, both brothers were no longer able to die and were once again protected by immortal barriers. They were healing nicely, had the energy to roam about, and it was basically the perfect time to gather around to watch a movie!
Except it was of the romance genre, and Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha had a newfound abhorance for romance movies. They didn't understand the concept, or why the women in the movie were always helpless as well as useless. Mortal women weren't really based on them, were they?
"I don't get this piece of crap movie! She has two lovers?! Where did the other guy come from?!" Inuyasha's furry ears were twitching maddly, but he momentarily stopped in his tirade to practically inhale a handful of popcorn. "Is she pregnant yet?"
"Oh look, little brother, she suddenly has five children now." Sesshoumaru was skeptical of these mortal movies with promiscuous women. Yet, he also paused in order to grab a handful of popcorn from the bowl Inuyasha was hogging. "I wonder who the father is..."
"Keh, I don't think it's either of the two lovers. Maybe she has a third..."
"There's one child with blue eyes...if I recall correctly, no one in this movie has blue eyes."
"What a whore!"
"I do not comprehend why she cannot settle for one man."
"I still don't fucking know where this guy came from!"
"For crying outloud!" Kagome finally intervened between the brothers' conversation, extremely annoyed and hungry for popcorn. "Shut up and watch the movie! Maybe then you'll understand it!"
"Yes, I totally agree!" Rin nodded her head, glaring at her impassive fiancé, who now controlled the half-empty popcorn bowl. "-gasp- Oh my gods! Shiro is proposing!"
The raven-haired teen gasped, nearly bouncing on the couch. "No way! Mika better say yes!"
"Shiro..." The beautiful Japanese woman on the screen began in her meticulous voice. "I cannot accept your proposal...for I am in love with another."
"What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed while in the process of recpaturing the popcorn bowl. "She's so fucking stupid! She has five kids--who's gonna support them all?!"
Sesshoumaru refused to relent his most prized possesion--the popcorn bowl. But he did agree with his brother. "Ah, she's pregnant again. At this rate, only the village headman can support her children."
"He's too old for her!"
"No one cares about age when money is involved..."
"You're so materialistic!"
"Do I care? Desperate times call for desperate measures."
"What the hell?! Are you secretly sleeping with old hags for their money?!"
"..."
"YOU ARE?!" Rin fell off the couch and slowly spasmed on the ground, mumbling incoherent words about dog demon fiends who took advantage of poor old ladies. She now felt as though she had been psychologically raped...
"I am not so impeccunious as you are to engage in sexual intercourse with elderly women for their money, half-breed." Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the hanyou, daring him to say anything more.
Of course, Inuyasha was a die-hard rebel. "How do I know you don't do it just for the fun?"
"The only fun I gain is by killing them, not sleeping with them."
"So you kill old hags after you sleep with them? Damn, you're hardcore..."
"I think I'm going to be sick..." Kagome covered her mouth, supressing a gag. "You, refill popcorn bowl. Now." She needed some popcorn before she hurled! Ugh, brothers and their weird conversations!
Meanwhile, Rin hadn't recuperated from her recent bout of shock. Not that anyone expected her to.
Inuyasha crossed his arms and huffed. "I can't because I don't know how, wench--in your face!"
"You know how to use the microwave! You make ramen everyday with it!"
"Yeah, but then you started pressing weird buttons today and I got confused!"
"Oh please!"
"If you're so smart, then go make it yourself!"
Since he believed he had won the match, it came as an immense shock to him when the teen only dragged him off the couch and into the kitchen. He protested loudly and clawed at the carpet to save himself, but it was all for nil. Hey, he wanted to stay and make fun of the movie's plot!
Fortunately, Sesshoumaru was nice enough to pause the film before he poked Rin for any signs of life.
She only twitched.
"--and that's all you have to do. See, it wasn't confusing at all!"
"Whatever!"
Kagome smiled at the disgruntled hanyou, who despite his annoyance, cryptically enjoyed learning something new. Over their month living together, she noticed how much the hanyou liked learning new things--his canine curiosity was a gift from the heavens when it came to forcing modern concepts into his brain! In the end, he had more or less grasped modern day life, and here they were!
Standing in front of the microwave with nothing to do...
Wasn't it unhealthy to stand in front of the microwave? Oh well.
"I'm guessing you really are feeling better--you're as stubborn as always." She didn't bother mentioning their near mental breakdown a few hours ago; she figured it would only put him on defensive mode.
But...she had to say...those few minutes she spent actually relying on him helped her to cope with the new changes in her life. Her small smile widened at the amazing power he had over her emotions. If she hadn't let go of her pent up frustrations the way she did, then she couldn't imagine--whoah!
When did Inuyasha get so close?!
"I-Inu--" Apparently, he preferred for her not to speak--he effectively shut her up with a domineering kiss. This was the first time their kiss was anything but chaste; hell, what she was feeling wasn't innocent at all!
She moaned into his mouth and slid her fingers into his hair, weaving them in between the long silver tendrils, until she reached his furry dog ears. Her slender fingers teased their tips, eliciting an exicited twitch from them and a content growl from her fiancé. He then hoisted her up onto the kitchen counter as he devoured her lips, nibbling on them and taking his time to memorize her taste.
It didn't take long for Kagome to completely lose herself in the moment. His natural pinewood scent clouded her senses--it was such a masculine scent that drove her senes wild and over the edge. She loved the feel of his silky hair slipping through her fingers, his soft ears submitting to her ministrations, his velvety skin--why hadn't they done this sooner?!
Since she was overcome by ardent passion, the miko took the initiative and decided to play with him. She parted her lips just a little and let her tongue touch the hanyou's lips invitingly. It surprised her when his eyes abruptly bolted open and he jerked back.
At first, she couldn't deny that the slimy tentacles of hurt enveloped her heart, but then she noted his flushed cheeks and the way his bewildered amber eyes stared at her in shock. No, not her face...her lips, as though he hadn't know such a thing as french kissing was possible.
Kagome smiled; Inuyasha really was innocent.
And if he's this innocent, then he must be a virgin... The thought soon sunk in and her eyes widened. Oh my gods, he's a virgin! After a moment, it was no longer surprising. He was always irate for a reason--it was his defense mechanism. Why? Because he was very shy.
The miko softly sighed and cupped his cheek, drawing the hanyou's attention back at her eyes rather than her lips. She could clearly see confusion etched on his expression; it was so cute she couldn't help but smile. "Just do as I do, ok?"
He tentatively nodded.
She leaned in for another kiss, and he copied her actions, though they were only tasting each other without...anything else involved. But she then parted her lips, so Inuyasha did the same. And then her tongue gently massaged his lips before sliding past--and this time, he didn't move away.
He allowed her to explore his mouth and graze his fangs until he felt overwhelmed by a inexplicable burning heat slowly spreading through his body and met her with his own smooth appendage. Her hands found their way to his ears again while his caressed her back, but her affection evidently consumed him the most because he couldn't supress the urge to softly growl.
Inuyasha liked this new way of kissing--he hadn't known he would enjoy it! And just when he was actually seconds away from dominating Kagome--Ding!
The stupid microwave decided to interrupt.
Kagome broke their passionate lock and took a moment to fill her lungs with air. She had never kissed someone so intensely before! Inuyasha wasn't faring any better either...
"Well, we should get back to the others. Sesshoumaru must be driving Rin crazy with a question frenzy." Not that the hanyou hadn't managed done so as well...
Inuyasha kehed and retrieved the popcorn from the microwave, wasting no time to empty the steaming bag into the glass bowl. "Let's go, wench."
But even as they walked out of the kitchen, they both acknowledged one thing.
They weren't done yet.
When Inuyasha and Kagome arrived at the living room, they were immediately met with the 'wonderful' sight of the other occupants of the apartment aggressively making out. No, they could never take things slowly or at least allow the other to have one moment of control--it was always a fight for dominance between them.
It was a good fight, too, apparently...
And was there a reason why Rin was ontop of Sesshoumaru with their hands going places they shouldn't?
"My eyes! Oh, it burns! I'm blinded for life!" Inuyasha shielded his eyes from the horrible sight, leaving Kagome to pat his back in sympathy.
Rin reluctantly pulled away from her fiancé and took a seat beside him with a huff, all the while glaring at the hanyou ridiculously covering his eyes. "The coast is clear, moron! You can open your eyes now!" Oooh...someone had anger issues...
"Geez, you can get laid however many times you want when I'm not there to watch!"
"Just take a seat before she kills you, Inuyasha..." Kagome sighed, and her grumbling fiancé had no choice but to listen to her. Rin was still garing daggers at him, though...
The movie commenced again...boring as ever. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha cocked their heads a certain way each time something confusing happened--Kagome and Rin merely wanted to rip their mouths off if it would prevent them from speaking. Was it wrong for them to just want to watch a movie in peace?!
"There's seven kids in total now! They just keep popping out of nowhere!"
"I'm telling you, the village headman may be getting lucky very soon..."
"Why can't she marry that guy with the pitch fork?"
"Why don't her children look like anyone in the movie?"
"Is she pregnant again?"
"When will those children actually do something other than sit around crying?"
"Yeah, can't they work or at least beg for money?"
"I'd make them work on my farm if it would profit me."
"Hells yeah! They don't need to get paid."
"I pay them with food and water; isn't that enough?"
"Now we're talking. But I still don't get why she has so many lovers! My ass is prettier than her!"
"...Mine is still prettier than yours."
"Fuck you! You have no ass!"
"Yesterday you said I had a fat ass and today you say I have no ass. Be consistent, little brother."
"Yeah, well, you--"
"That's IT!!" Steam was pouring out of Rin's ears because she was so annoyed! The brothers' endless chatter made it hard for her and Kagome to pay attention to this two-hour long movie! The matter needed to be resolved in one way and one way only!
Everyone stared after the human teen when she abruptly stood from the couch and stomped towards her room. She merely reappeared a few seconds later...but this time, she was armed...
"Nobody move--I'm loaded." She brandished a...fluffy white pillow in her hands covered in a yellow and orange Whini the Pooh sham matching her pajamas...she meant business.
"Rin, isn't that the pillow you drool on?" Crap...he should've kept his mouth shut.
"HYAAA!!!" WHAM! WHACK! WHAM! "Eat my Pillow of Demolition! EAT IT!!!"
"Oh shit!!" Inuyasha bolted away from the demented teen furiously hitting her fiancé with a pillow. The look on her face was one of a mad scientist! "I'm getting the hell--"
"You aren't going anywhere."
The hanyou paled and glanced up, only to see that Rin wasn't the only one with pillows. Kagome held two of them...holy shit... WHAM! "NOOO!!!" WHACK! "HAVE MERCY!!!"
Sesshoumaru, by the sheer power of some higher entity, managed to escape Rin's clutches and swiftly made a run for his room, but not without grabbing his beaten brother along the way. Once inside, he slammed the door closed and locked it. At least they had some protection against those two...maniacs. He shuddered at the thought of going back out there.
"What are we going to do?!" Inuyasha was terrified! Sure, being hit with pillows didn't leave bruises, but damn! They suffocated him! It was like they got together and planned his painful murder, one in which he couldn't defend himself! Gah, it was just horrible!
"I don't know..." The immortal barely survived against Rin--he just didn't want to leave the safety of his room period.
After a few minutes of hiding like cowards, the two brothers determined the coast was clear. It was silent, however...too silent. But perhaps the girls had settled down to watch the movie on their own now that their annoying fiancés weren't present. So, Sesshoumaru cautiously opened the door...
...and came face to face with a huge watermelon.
"Since when did we buy watermelons?" Inuyasha peeked over his brother's shoulder and furrowed his eyebrows. He never remembered seeing Kagome or Rin purchase a watermelon, and he had been to every single grocery trip.
Sesshoumaru shrugged, and made a move to step into the hallway, but was stopped by his concerned half brother. "No! What if it's a trap?" Angry women were clever...
"Then we will face it like brave inuyoukai." And he completely walked out of his room, hesitantly followed by the nervous hanyou.
It was still silent...and there were no signs of Kagome or Rin...but the damn watermelon must have been a sign of danger...
"See, half-breed, we are still--" SPLAT! "--alive."
Inuyasha gaped, yet then found himself resisting the urge to laugh. Sesshoumaru had been standing in the middle of the hallway when, without warning, an egg hit him directly in the face. A gooey mixture of eggshells and egg yolk now covered his handsome face and dripped onto his dark blue shirt.
However...
BAM! "FUUUCK!!" The hanyou had claimed victory all to soon. A large slice of watermelon had then collided with his face, leaving him as messy as his brother. Both demon gods wiped their faces clean, yet wished they hadn't.
At the other end of the hallway...stood their worst nightmares.
Rin smirked, bouncing an oversized skillet in her hands. "Sesshoumaru, I hope you like your eggs scrambled, because I know the Skillet of Doom does."
"Inuyasha, I hope you don't trip on watermelons, or you'll be needing the Slipper of Death." Kagome learned from Rin quickly--she managed to make her fiance tremble as she flashed him two fluffy sky blue slippers. It's fluffy goodness terrified him...
The silver-haired immortal covered in egg yolk glanced at his younger brother with grim eyes. "Run."
Inuyasha didn't need to be told twice. He immediately turned around and took a step towards his room, but a soft object thumped his head, causing him to lose his balance. He teer-tottered for a while, and when he thought he could start running again, he only ran into another soft object--a goddamn slipper--causing him to trip, slip on watermelon juice, and fall face-first to the ground.
From there...he had no chance to move.
"Run, Sesshoumaru! You might make it!" Inuyasha yelled after the older dog demon, who heeded him and tried his best to make it to safety...
BAM! THUD!
...eh, emphasize tried one more time.
"Now, isn't this so much better?"
"I think it is, Rin. Oh, look! Mika finally married Shiro!"
"And they only have ten kids! Wow, that's a first!"
Sadly, the movie soon ended with the two protagonists having a happy ending with their million children roaming their grand estate--Shiro was a rich man because he became the village headman. Now that it was all over, Kagome and Rin turned to their fiancés and grinned widely.
Sesshoumaru glared at the conniving cinnamon-eyed teen...but it was all he could do. His legs and wrists were bound together by rope, not to mention he was being gagged by a towel. Inuyasha wasn't any better--at least his ears were able to twitch.
"What? Is my little puppy angry?" Rin cooed at the disgruntled dog demon, who struggled to break free from his bondage, yet failed. "It's ok! We only have one other cheap romance movie to watch!"
Kagome winked at her hanyou when he ended up rolling off the couch after trying to squirm away. "I'm glad you had rope laying around after your Physics project, Rin."
"Yup, and I'm glad we had those dreams about weird talking eggs and watermelons."
"Oh yeah."
