Chapter Nine

 

“Hey Sesshomaru,” Kagura greeted as she let him into her house. “They should be here in about an hour.”

 

“Oh goody,” Sesshomaru said.

 

He smiled at her. He had met both of them before…plenty of times. Kanna was a bit…a lot on the I-Have-No-Emotions side. She had barely said two words to Sesshomaru the first time they met. By now though she was almost somewhat normal. Not to say he was normal but damn. He at least cracked a smile once in a while. And Moryomaru…well, if Sesshomaru was sensitive he would've thought Moryomaru to be a jerk. He was okay though once you looked past that. They may have sounded bad but overall, Sesshomaru liked being around them. And they liked him too. Kagura's parents were no longer alive so all she had were her dysfunctional siblings. But Sesshomaru could only imagine what her mother and father must have been like to raise such children. Of course, Sesshomaru thought that in the nicest way possible.

 

The two arrived at twelve just like Kagura said they would. Well actually, as they walked in Sesshomaru saw that there were two more people with them. He recognized them both.

 

“Hey, you guys didn't say you were coming too!” Kagura said with a smile on her face. She went up to the two unexpected brothers, Muso and her twin Byakuya.

 

“We wanted to surprise you,” Byakuya said with a grin. He turned to Sesshomaru. “Ooh, and who's the sexy guy over here?”

 

“Hi, Byakuya,” Sesshomaru said and smiled. He stood up.

 

“Now come over here and give me a hug.”

 

Sesshomaru did and after being deprived of air for a few seconds, Byakuya let him go. He greeted the three others then they all sat down to talk and catch up.

 

“So Sesshomaru, where's the bastard you're married to?” Moryomaru asked. Kagura and Moryomaru knew Naraku well and didn't like him. The others knew him somewhat but still didn't care for him.

 

“Naraku,” Sesshomaru emphasized, “is with some of his friends. He won't be coming.”

 

“How unfortunate.” Sesshomaru wanted to smile at the sarcasm.

 

“What about your adorable daughter?” Muso asked. “Are we going to see her?”

 

“Yes. Actually, she should be next door. She and one of her friends are over there.”

 

Kagura raised an eyebrow. “With Inuyasha, you mean?” she asked.

 

“Yes. Shippo's mother was going to drop him and Rin off at Inuyasha's house.” Sesshomaru looked back at Muso. “I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you. You're one of the few people who has enough energy to keep up with her.”

 

“Ha, just barely.”

 

“Well, I'll get her in a little bit. I want to give her time to play with Shippo.”

 

Everybody talked and talked from then on. Topics varied from other members of the family to sex to traveling. All six of them were enjoying themselves. Sesshomaru decided it was time to get Rin. She would be happy to see Kagura's family.

 

“I'll be back. I'm going to get Rin,” Sesshomaru announced then he walked outside. He went next door and knocked. Inuyasha answered.

 

“Hi, Sesshomaru,” he greeted.

 

“Hello, Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru couldn't help but look at what he was wearing. Inuyasha had on a pair of tight, dark blue jeans and a gray shirt that let people know he had muscle. Why do I care what he's wearing?

 

“I suppose you're here for Rin.”

 

“Yes.” Hmph, it's only because I like clothes. Not necessarily because I'm interested in the person wearing them.

 

“Do you want to come in? She and Shippo are in the backyard. I'll get them.”

 

“Sure.” He stepped inside and was lead to a couch. Inuyasha left. Sesshomaru thought the house (or what he had seen) was nicely furnished and decorated. It was clean too and that was always a good thing.

 

Inuyasha came back followed by two children. Rin immediately ran to him.

 

“Hi, Papa!” She hugged him.

 

“Hey, Rin. Did you have fun?”

 

“Yes. Are we going home?”

 

“Actually, we're going to Kagura's. Her sister and brothers are there.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yep.” He looked at Inuyasha. “Would you like to come too?” Did I just invite him…?

 

“Uh, I wouldn't want to intrude. Plus, Miroku isn't home yet so I have to watch Shippo…”

 

“He can come too. And you wouldn't be intruding at all. I'm like part of their family so if I brought somebody they'd be fine with it.” This was all true but Sesshomaru didn't know why he was telling this to Inuyasha. It's to be nice since he watched Rin. I'm sure both children were a handful.

 

“Sure then. Come on, Shippo.”

 

The four of them walked back in. When Kagura's family saw the two unfamiliar faces they immediately started asking questions.

 

“Who's this?”

 

“Is that you're son? He's as adorable as you.”

 

“So you and Sesshomaru are friends, huh?”

 

Inuyasha didn't know which question to start with. He was relieved when Sesshomaru stepped in.

 

“Quiet down you guys. This is Inuyasha. No, that's not his son. He's just watching Shippo there for his friend. And yes, he's my friend. Be nice.”

 

What? Sesshomaru thinks of me as a friend? Inuyasha was surprised. Was he just saying that?

 

The way Sesshomaru justified what he said in his own mind was that it was easier to say that Inuyasha was his friend instead of saying `Oh well I'm being nice to him since we've seen each other a few times and he watched Rin.' Saying they were friends was shorter. Naraku would get angry anyways if I were friends with him.

 

Rin grabbed Shippo then walked up to Muso.

 

“Hi, Muso,” Rin greeted.

 

“Hello, Rin. Is this your friend?” he asked.

 

“Yep. This is Shippo.”

 

“Well, hi Shippo. I'm Muso.”

 

“Hi,” Shippo said somewhat shyly.

 

“Can you play outside with us?” Rin asked.

 

“Sure.” He stood then looked at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. “Wanna play too?” He smiled.

 

“Yeah, Papa. Will you come too?”

 

“Uh sure,” Sesshomaru answered. “Come on, Inuyasha” Then he whispered, “I'm sure you don't want to be alone with these guys.”

 

As they stepped outside Sesshomaru told Muso, “Damn, Moryomaru and Byakuya should've brought their kids.”

 

“I know,” he said. “I don't know why they didn't bring them or their women. What do you want to play, Rin?”

 

“Umm, how about hide-and-seek?”

 

“Okay, who's it?”

 

“How about Inuyasha?” Shippo piped up, getting over his shyness.

 

“Yeah, Inuyasha can be it,” Sesshomaru said with a smile.

 

“Fine,” Inuyasha said. “You guys go hide.”

 

All the adults felt extremely silly playing hide-and-seek at their ages but they did it for the kids…

 

“Okay, ready or not here I come!” Inuyasha yelled.

 

Rin was hiding along the side of Kagura's house, Shippo was behind a wall, and Muso and Sesshomaru were hiding behind the same car. They were whispering to each other.

 

“So, is that guy just your friend?” Muso asked quietly.

 

“Yeah,” Sesshomaru whispered. “What the hell do you mean `just your friend'?”

 

“Well, I don't know…I mean, he is pretty cute.”

 

“Um, did you forget I have a husband?”

 

“If you can call him that…”

 

“Oh, be nice.”

 

“Why should I? It's not like he's nice.”

 

“He's-”

 

“Found ya.”

 

Sesshomaru and Muso both looked up since neither one of them had said that.

 

“Oh, hey how'd you find us?” Muso asked.

 

“Well, you two were talking pretty loud so it was easy.”

 

“Hehe. Oh.”

 

“Hey!” Rin called. “You two are supposed to run. He has to tag you!”

 

“Oh…” Muso said. “Better go then!” He got up and ran just as Inuyasha leapt at him. Inuyasha missed him by an inch but then turned to Sesshomaru. He was only now standing up.

 

He sighed. “I'm only playing for the kids,” Sesshomaru said.

 

Inuyasha smiled. “Whatever, you're still gonna be it.”

 

It was still for a moment then they took off. Sesshomaru was sure he could outrun Inuyasha so he decided to tease him a bit. They were kind of far from what Rin had deemed `base' earlier. He would slow down until Inuyasha was about to catch him then speed up again.

 

“You're a dick,” Inuyasha called out.

 

“Haha, I know.”

 

Sesshomaru was just about to make it when suddenly Inuyasha gained a crazy amount of speed and caught up to Sesshomaru. Then he tackled him into the grass where they both toppled over.

 

Inuyasha was on top of Sesshomaru, a smirk on his face. He leaned in until his lips were close to Sesshomaru's ear. “I don't like to be teased. Looks like you're it.” Then he got up and went over to the others. They were laughing at Sesshomaru.

 

The white-haired male stayed on the grass for a moment. Why did he get so close? Sesshomaru had felt the breath hit his ear. He could've gotten me without sending us both to the ground.

 

“Hurry up, Sesshomaru,” Muso called.

 

“Yeah. Or do you like being on your back?” Inuyasha said. Muso started laughing at the man on the ground but Sesshomaru bolted up after he said that.

 

“Calm down, I'm coming,” he grumbled. What was that suppose to mean? He looked at Inuyasha who was returning his gaze.

 

“I was just teasing you, Sesshomaru.” Amusement gleamed in his eyes though.

 

“Yeah, I know. You're going to pay for that though.”

 

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. “Oh really now? I'd like to see you try.”

 

Sesshomaru started counting and as he did so he wondered just what Inuyasha had meant by everything.

 

As Inuyasha looked for a place to hide, he thought about Sesshomaru. There was something about him that made him different from other guys he had met. He wasn't sure what it was though. From the part of his and Muso's conversation he had eavesdropped on, it sounded like Sesshomaru's husband wasn't too great of a guy. And Sesshomaru seemed to be at Kagura's…a lot. Was there relationship rocky or something? Whoa, what do I care? It's none of my business. But I am surprised he invited me to come over here…maybe I was right and he was just shy, now he got over it. Sesshomaru confused Inuyasha a little too. He seemed to change his attitude a lot from the last time they talked. He also had no idea why he did what he did. I just tackled him for the fun of it…and I whispered in his ear because…hell, I don't know! Who cares? Inuyasha wasn't attracted to Sesshomaru. He told himself the man was already married anyways. He would admit the guy was cute but so were a lot of people. Whatever, my only concern right now is finding a decent hiding place…
