Chapter 10 Ingrates, Outfits, and Mikos… Oh My!

"Whatever you say Sesshou," Ume sing-songed.

"I told you not to call me by that name. It is degrading."

"Until you quit acting like a pup, Sesshou, I will continue to call you by the name I used when we were pups," Ume reverted to using youkai terms to make a point. "Now did that get through that thick skull of yours or does your tail and all that hair make you hard of hearing? Now if you would excuse me," Riona said looking at her watch then grabbing her purse, "I have a meeting to look at a location in twenty minutes and if I don't get going I'm going to be late."

"You are going nowhere in those indecent garments. Now change!"

Riona glared daggers at Sesshoumaru. "There is nothing wrong with my outfit," she said as she looked down at the black leather miniskirt and blue floral halter top. "Styles have changed just slightly. Now you will either get out of my way or you will be sitting on the floor until I get back. Understood?"

"You think to order me around?"

"Let's put it this way. Sesshou, DOWN. Now, I'll be back in a couple of hours. Behave yourselves."

With that Riona walked out the door.

LATER THAT DAY….

Riona walked back into her suite, carrying five very large shopping bags. Upon opening the door, she finds things much the same way as when she left four hours ago…

"It is about time you returned, bitch. Let me off of this floor, immediately."

"You can just stay there until you learn some manners. Just so everyone knows, since we don't know how long you're going to be here, I stopped and bought some clothes for you so you don't stick out so much."

"I, Sesshoumaru, will not wear ningen clothing."

"Then I guess you won't be leaving the floor for a while. Kagome, you're first."

"I could have gone home for something."

"I think it would be best if you don't go home for a while, at least until we figure out how to return you to the feudal era. So let's try these on," Riona grabbed her arm and dragged her into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the miko gave vent to the newest member of the gang…

"He just doesn't stop does he? If he doesn't drop the "I, Sesshoumaru" this and that god damned `holier than thou' attitude, I just may take the asshole out."

"Riona, calm down. Killing Sesshoumaru won't help anything. It may actually hurt in the long run."

"I know, but it may make me feel better."

"But for how long would you feel better? Admit it, you would regret it as soon as you did it."

"Not right away. Maybe a couple of minutes later..." Both girls started laughing. "Anyway, we should try these clothes on. I probably didn't get anything you would normally wear. I was body typing so just try it on before you discard it out of hand."

"Uhm, okay. Why do I feel like I should be worried?"

"Let's try this one first," Riona said holding up an emerald green tank top with a white skirt that was a little longer then Kagome's uniform skirt.

"This isn't so bad."

"This is the mildest one. I thought we would start out with something that seemed more your speed. There are some that I bought because I just wanted to see how they looked on you. I can still return them if you don't like them."

"Ok, let's get started then."

Meanwhile out in the living room the brothers were once again glaring at each other.

"You know, you would think that you were the one who wasn't raised in the palace. She may let you up if you were a little more polite," Inuyasha suggested.

"*I* do not have to be polite to a ningen. It is degrading that a ningen has this much power over my actions." Sesshoumaru barked.

"Ok, let's try something else. We won't talk. That way I won't have to listen to your pompous ass."

"That would be fine with me."

An hour later, Riona and Kagome came out of the bedroom to a very silent room.

That is, until Inuyasha saw Kagome, "Kagome! What the hell do you think you're doing?!?!?!? Go put some real clothes on!!!!!"

Kagome did a perfect imitation of Riona from earlier, "There is nothing wrong with this outfit." Referring to the tight forest green shirt that showed off her midriff and the white denim hiphugger shorts that emphasized said well-toned midriff.

Riona just laughed at his reaction, "Don't worry Kagome, I think you look great." She turned to the hanyou and grinned, "However, Inu-chan, it's your turn."

"Do I have to?" Inuyasha whimpered, trying the same trick that had failed him as a pup.

"That trick isn't going to work on me. I promise nothing quite as drastic as Kagome's wardrobe change."
