And Those Amber Eyes of Sunlight...Chapter Three: Ring, ring...

It had been a week since Inuyasha had come to stay with them, he had wanted to come and see the land and was just fortunate enough to come right on the day their horse was in labor, Rin thought to herself as she moved from the cabbage patch to the carrots and began weeding once more. It wasn't that she minded, no, not at all in fact, she loved company, but she disliked how her husband and her brother-in-law acted toward each other.

Though Sesshoumaru had sombered up quite a bit and wound down since they began dating each other, and married, they always seemed as if they would snap at each other any minute and the battles would begin once more. And Kagome certainly wasn't helping the situation, every time those two saw each other it was fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. They seemed as if they hated each other.

But secretly, in the back of her mind, she thought if they had been left alone to fight, they would've ripped each others clothes off.

Shaking her head, she sighed and laughed 'Ah, youth'.

Lifting her head to look of her land...their land...And she remembered what his reaction had been when she asked...

-Flashback-

"Please! Please! I want a horse, I want cows, and I want chickens that will steal your crackers! Please Sesshoumaru," Rin pleaded, grasping his hands in hers. "Absolutely not! No way! I will not allow my self to go that low just for a few chickens," He'd snapped back. But that didn't faze her a bit.

Bringing a play wicked grin onto her face, Rin moved forward against him, trapping him into a corner. Looking up through her eye lashes with seductive eyes she asked in a hazy voice," Please?"

His eyes darting around the room seemed to go everywhere but upon her form, for Sesshoumaru, still recovering from his time of uncaring emotions, didn't seem to understand what was going on until it was too late. "R-Rin, what are you doing? Stop that! Hey, don't touch me the-...RIN!"

Biting her lower lip, Rin giggled and did it anyway...

-End Flashback-

Giggling once more in a rather devilish way, Rin started plucking the weeds from the earth again. It had taken the rest of the day and the night to "convince" him, but finally he had relented saying he would do it only if she kept the chickens away from HIS crackers.

So they had packed all their things from the apartment in the big city, and after she had forced Sesshoumaru to grunt a farewell to Inuyasha, they moved out to the country.

Smiling, she opened her mouth and said quietly to herself," I love you Sesso."

-------------

"Your an asshole, get out, GET OUT," Kagome screeched, throwing her bag of veterinary tool at the bastard hanyou. Growling furiously, she stood rigid outside one of the horse stalls, her fists balled at her sides and her face a fiery red to match her mood.

She had known him a week and already he was the most arrogant, annoying, stuck up person she had ever met! She wanted to strangle him, drown him, run over him, it didn't matter how she did it, she just wanted him dead! And then...sometimes she wanted to do unspeakable things with him, to him, for him.

Her anger diminished and she grinned remembered how the bag had hit him full force in the face after some crude remark he had made to her. She remembered how he'd stalked away, cursing under his breath, and she remembered how stunned and cute he looked before he had.

Blinking in surprise, she shook her head and laughed. "Oh dear, I need help." Retrieving her bag, she turned and walked back to the stall where she'd been giving a cow some shots. 'Bastard, just who does he think he is?!' She thought as she worked, her anger coming back.

But later, as she finished with the cow she'd been working on and a horse that had gone lame, a thought crept into the back of her mind and she had no choice but to acknowledge its existence.
'I hope he stays longer...'

Sighing, she picked up her stuff and walked out of the barn, closing the doors securely. As she walked toward her car, Rin bounded up to her, a cheery smile on her face, as usually.

Throwing the bag into the passenger seat, Kagome turned and smiled at her. "Hey Rin, what's up?" Out of breath, Rin handed Kagome her check and she smiled and hugged Rin, stuffing the thing into her pocket.

Pulling back to leave, Rin caught her wrist and asked in an elated voice,"Oh, Kagome, won't you stay for supper? Sesshoumaru just got back from the ocean market yesterday and brought back fresh fish!" Shaking her head, Kagome lifted a hand and replied,"Rin, I don't want to impose, you're already hosting a guest in your house." Rin raised an eyebrow and laughed," What are you talking about, Inuyasha? He's practically a permanent member until he gets things straightened out. Besides, it's not like you're spending the night, Right?...Or will you be?" Rin grinned.

Kagome felt her cheeks grow warm as a blush of embarrassment crept onto her face and she sputtered back," Of course not! My goodness, Rin, where on earth do you get these ideas from, really I must say, its un-un-un..Bah! Whatever, I'll stay for dinner." Kagome turned from her friend, fuming, her hands clenched and unclenched at her sides. 'Really, where are all these notions coming from?!?!'

She heard Rin giggle behind her and wrap her arms around her neck, nearly choking her, as she hugged her triumphantly. "Good! I'm so glad to hear that! Now go home and get washed up, you small like cow."

Grumbling, Kagome climbed into her Jeep and sped away, ignoring the voice in the back of her head that was shouting for joy at the news of Inuyasha staying.

-------

"I don't understand Sesshoumaru, why are we getting all dressed up? What's with you? What's going on," Inuyasha asked, very confused. "Stop pegging me with questions and just get dressed, half do-...In-u-ya-sha..." Grumbling, Inuyasha straightened his black tuxedo. "I thought we were just having fish," he grumbled. Grinning, Sesshoumaru replied," We are, at a restraunt on the pier."

"Keh!"

The doorbell wrung downstairs and as he finished getting dressed, he exited the room and peered over the stairs to see who had come. It was Kagome. She was absolutely stunning, dressed in a black, strapless dress that went almost all the way to touch the floor, half way covering her toeless high heels. Her black hair, scrubbed and shiny, trailed down her back, rippling as she moved across the floor to follow Rin to the living room.

Sesshoumaru, seeing all of what happened, smirked and came up behind the breathless hanyou. "You want her," he snickered when he was closer. A low growl erupted from Inuyasha's throat and he barked back," I do not, she's a nasty, evil wench if I ever saw one!" And with that he stalked down the stairs and opened the front down, plopping himself down onto a whicker chair on the patio. 'That...That, bastard, she is human, not worth my time, he should know that.'

But inside himself, Inuyasha felt a dormant feeling of longing for a companion and it was becoming less so every time he saw her. Though most of the time they were fighting, he longed to be lonely no more.

'Kikyo...'

Tears welled up in his eyes and threatened to overflow. He had loved her, she had made him happy, whole, and then she had killed him. Like he was going to ever let that happen again, screw that.

Shaking his head, he got up and regained composure, walking back into the house to plop down into a comfy chair in the living room, staring at nothing and ignoring what Kagome's and Rin's conversation consisted of.

-------

She stared at him across the table, he knew that she did and he glanced up a few times to see if he took notice of her, but Inuyasha, the sulky Inuyasha, ignored her attempts to catch his attention, so the dinner went on quietly.

Sesshoumaru had thought this would be a good time to get out and do something, but it didn't seem to have and good time opportunities in the near future at all as Kagome, moving her food around with her fork, sighed loudly. "Shut up, bitch." He heard Inuyasha growl at her from one end of the table.

Lifting his head, Sesshoumaru looked at his beloved Rin in time to see her give him a helpless look. Sighing inwardly, he covered his face with his hands and waited for all hell to break loose...And he waited...And he waited...He knew there was tension, he could feel it, what was going on?

Glancing up, he watched as Kagome's face contorted in a like of confusion, then anger, then watched as she suddenly burst out crying and stood from the table, knocking her chair back as she fled from the restraunt, Rin chasing after her moments afterward. This stir caused the music to pause briefly and some of the people at other tables around them to stare momentarily before going back to what they were doing.

Looking at Inuyasha, who's face was frozen in a look of puzzlement as he stared in the direction the girls had ran, he grabbed his arm in a tight grip, with was met with a growl and a struggle, he pulled his fighting brother into the bathroom. "Inuyasha," He said in a powerful voice, bring his hand across the hanyou's cheek. This seemed to stun him enough to stillness as he just stood there, his face still turned in the direction the force had caused him to look to.

Then, quietly, he sighed and brought his hands up to cover his face, leaning his forehead against the wall. "Inuyasha, what's gotten into you?" He asked in a heated voice. "I-I don't know...She's-She's just a human...," he trailed off, beginning to lightly thud his head against the wall he'd been leaning on. Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to speak. But, before he could, a ringing tone filled the restrooms and he tilted his head, staring in the direction it was emitting from, Inuyasha's pocket.

Frowning, Inuyasha pulled out a crimson red Nokia phone and pushing the "Answer" button brought it to his ear. "Hello?"

In the next few seconds, Sesshoumaru watched as his brother's face registered from the look of puzzlement to shock, then anger as he ripped the phone from his ear and hurled it to the far wall. But that wasn't enough, he brought back his fist, driving them into the concrete barrier before him, his eyes changing back and forth between amber and a bloody glow.

Finally, when he was done, Sesshoumaru gently placed a hand on the hanyou's shoulder. "Inuyasha, what's happened?" He was met by a look filled with uncontained sorrow and hatred...

"Kikyo's dead."
