Summary: Inuyasha is so far from the normal daily routine he had fallen into that it's starting to scare him. A long winter in a snowed-out manor with psycho family members that have suddenly accepted him is surreal. Take that, a punishment to deliver, his brother's bizarre hobby, and the hanyou is starting to think nothing will faze him anymore.

 

Authors Note: Hi, I'm back! Yay, third chapter - I'm on a roll. I would once again like to thank my beta reader Neko who puts up with me and works so hard. This chapter was a pain in the butt because I had to rewrite several parts of it over and over till I felt it had come out right. Even now I think I could go back and tweak it, however I think it's best to move on with the story. After all just how many of you appreciate a half hour debate over thesaurus.com on whether or not this word fits well in this sentence or if it's better to rewrite it around this other word. Sigh… sometimes trying to make a flat conversation between people seem interested just can't be done. I don't mean what they're saying isn't interesting but `he said' `she replied' `he continued' can only be so entertaining.

Chapter Title: Sincere Deception

 

Low-level servants rushed away from the room the moment they were free to do so. The atmosphere in there had them all ready to jump out the nearest window. Who knew that Kokoro could be so cruel to her own pup? The news of his decided punishment was quick to get around as most rumors were.

 

Yukido currently stood before both his parents, eyes wide in disbelief. The wall behind him was still wet from the glass of water he had thrown at it. Servants had already cleared away the fragments of glass, leaving only the damaged wall as the only sign of his outburst.

 

“Please mother, think of what you're saying. I refuse to believe my actions deserve such a severe punishment.” Yukido exclaimed. Had his family gone completely insane? And how dare they give the decision to that hanyou. Inuyasha, who wasn't even a blood relative. That mixed blood thing was the son of a two timing rogue who just happened to get his aunt pregnant at some point. It hardly gave his bastard son the rights they were giving him.

 

“You are not winning any favors with your current behavior Yukido. This has been decided and will not be revoked for any reason. If you truly cannot see why then it's quite clear that this truly was the best course of action.” Kokoro spoke calmly. His harsh temper was to be expected. After all she had just informed the pup he'd be servant boy to all the western lands; it was rather severe.

 

“Yukido, I'm with your mother on this. Do not force my hand. You may be our son but you are still a member of this pack and subject to the rules and commands laid down by your elders.” Raiton spoke sternly. He absolutely hated this; his mate was taking things too far. He could not stand to speak theses words when all he wanted was to take his pup's side. Kokoro's mind was made up on this and there was little he could do about it. Never would he have imagined being forced between his beloved mate and his dear children.

 

“This is utterly unforgivable! You handed my fate to a, a, a nobody bastard-born mixed-breed wretch,” Yukido yelled. This was beyond betrayal they were letting something that was worth little more than a snack, send him into servitude. It was utterly disgraceful; a complete act of betrayal.

 

“YUKIDO!!” Kokoro yelled, the sound making both her son and mate flinch. Rarely did the inu-youkai maiden loose her endless calm and soft tone. This was revealing more and more problems by the moment and she was done with arguing. A lenient hand in raising the boy was the cause of this and it would not be used in correcting it.

 

“Inuyasha may be human-born but he has strength and power to be revered for one of his age. As for the bastard accusation the Inu no Taishou left my sister and took vows with the human long before Inuyasha was even conceived.” Kokoro said calmly.

 

“What? I've not heard of this,” Raiton said suddenly.

 

“My sister allowed the mating pact between them to be severed so he could be with Izayoi. It is not a well-known fact for he and the human joined by a human ceremony. No pack members were needed to witness the joining since none of us are related to him by blood.” She explained. Her sister had loved him so much it baffled Kokoro to this day why she had let him go to that human. She could only imagine the pain it must have caused both her and Sesshoumaru to see him confess his love for the mortal.

 

“If that is true he holds no bond to this pack, to this bloodline. He has no right to even be here.” Yukido argued. He could truly care less what rights the mixed-breed held, he would not take such an atrocity as this without a fight.

 

“You're wrong. He holds blood to Sesshoumaru and in that holds blood to this pack. He holds blood to the great Inu no Taishou and in that right to the western lands should something befall his brother. After all the western lands were their father's lands before he even came to be my sister's mate.” Kokoro concluded.

 

This however made her mate seethe. Was she really going to hand those lands over to the hanyou instead of one of her own pups?! He would not stand for it, that would be crossing the line. That useless nephew of his had his end coming sooner or later. He'd be dammed if that half blood got the lands over his own pups. How could she just overlook the wellbeing of her own pups so easily?

 

“Yukido, your punishment commences at the first thaw of spring. I'm sure we'll have everything sorted out and ready by then. You are dismissed, my son.” Kokoro said with a sigh. This was proving much harder then she anticipated. Everyone was taking things so harshly and seriously. It was little wonder why her sister had forsaken this position when her mate left her. Speaking of which, just how few knew of her sisters willing severing of their bonds? She had left so soon after Inu no Taishou's death; it couldn't be many at all… maybe even Inuyasha was in the dark of it.

 

“Yes Lady Kokoro.” Yukido said coldly. He turned on his heel and left the room trying his best to keep his temper in check. These treacherous youkai he refused to see as his parents. They were simply lowly elders in control, ones that would be overthrown in time… he simply had to wait. They would meet their end by the hands of those they chose to rule so cruelly soon enough. He would just keep his head down till then. These worthless souls would burn long before him.

 

“Lady Kokoro, heh how cruel.” Kokoro muttered. Would children all turn on her sooner or later? Would her mate decided to leave her should she continue to forsake what Raiton saw as what was best for their pups.

 

She was trying so hard to keep this horrible war for the title of leader from happening between her beloved pups. Her sister had warned her that if she chose to take this position her family would be destroyed ever so slowly. It seemed she may have been right; there was far too much tension between the members of this family. It was not normal for inu youkai.

 

“Raiton, why do you all seem to think being a lord, or controlling land, will be better than being free to do as you please.” Kokoro asked slowly. She had been quite aware of his distaste for her choices; however the ones concerning the western lands were her sister's, though she agreed with them entirely.

 

“What are you yammering about? You're proving right now that unless you're on top you have no freedom at all!” Raiton replied before he could stop himself. Her comments about the hanyou had his temper out of control.

 

“He could leave, run away… no one tries to control the rogue.” She spoke softly. “Inu no Taishou… he claimed that title as a way of wooing my sister… he had nothing before that. A simple rogue before and once he tired of it, the so-called youkai dog general gave it away and went back to being the rogue he had been to begin with. All to go after what he wanted what he desired. Tell me, is that not freedom?” Kokoro replied.

 

She had watched the great Inu no Taishou claim the western lands from the low-level dragons and wolf youkai that overran it. Their ravenous greed and ruthless teamwork originally had the western lands known as the western wastes. Inu no Taishou cut down their numbers and in less than a hundred years had made the wastelands a safe haven to any who wished to call it home. It was for that reason so many different youkai and spirits lived within its borders. With such diversity the lands soon flourished into what they are today.

 

“He was a fool that died for a mortal woman. Do you wish our pups to suffer the same fate?!” Raiton snapped. How could Kokoro even suggest that? One of their noble sons living the life as an outcaste, a rogue; how utterly disgraceful.

 

“I wish for them to make a fate that is their own! To live a life of their choice wherever they choose. Not fight each other or their family for nothing more than a title! We live for centuries! Why are we fighting amongst ourselves like human nobles!” Kokoro cried. She just didn't understand all that was happening anymore. Power had always been something to want to strive for; but the inu clan had always held the wellbeing of one's pack above themselves. When had that changed? When had the honor of protecting one's kin become second to being the strongest? When had it become normal to strive for the spilling of blood of your own flesh?

 

“Kokoro…..” Raiton said softly. He fell to his knees beside his mate and embraced her.

 

“Forgive me… I never… I never considered they would be fighting each other, they always seem close to one another...” He buried his nose into this mate's soft silver hair. Oh he loved her so much… he just wanted the best for them all. If he could get the western lands then splitting the combined territory among their pups would be easy. Yume could take her mother's place and he and Kokoro could be free of all this.

 

“A forced smile and kind words in passing. I watch them; they are always on edge around one another… ever since my sister left and I gained this position. I wish I could just turn back time and let someone else take it. Being in power will be the destruction of them all, I know it will.” Kokoro said softly, embracing her mate.

 

There was so much to lose… she just hoped this servitude would give her son Yukido a fresh view on things. She wanted them all to strike out on their own they would find so much more beyond the walls of this manor, and beyond the border of Nippon.

 

“I love you Kokoro, I cherish the pups you have given me. I will not allow such a fate befall, them I promise.” Raiton spoke calmly. He had till the end of his son's servitude to make everything work out concerning the lands. He had to claim the western lands somehow it was the only way to give his pups the honor and power they all needed and deserved.

 

Sesshoumaru needed to be removed from the picture somehow. But simply killing him would no longer work if Kokoro would simply hand the lands over to the hanyou. If they both died it would be suspicious and the council might disagree to the joining of the lands. He needed to prove his nephew to be incompetent, indecisive and unfit to be lord. He was the son of a rogue; living the life of one was what he deserved.

 

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

 

Yume placed her mirror down with a frustrated sigh. Yukido had really done it now; that parting comment all but screamed `I don't see you as my mother anymore.' It was utterly cruel and affected her mother deeply; even if that piece of slime she had the misfortune of calling brother did not see it.

 

“Wow, your parents are really falling apart over this. Yume, maybe you should do something to help?” Kima asked, feeling rather distressed over the inu youkai couple's lack of understanding.

 

“I'm going to do some stuff with Shido and Kyo at the spring festival. It'll show Mum and Dad that we do get along and can work together. Most importantly, it will show them that we are not trying to kill each other over a title that falls to me by default. Feh, we all know I'm probably going to hand it all over to Shido anyway. But saying that to Mum won't make her any less worried... in fact it'd probably make her think he's blackmailing me or something,” Yume said exasperatedly. Though, it was highly interesting that Kokoro was taking such a strong interest in a hanyou pup that held no blood relation to herself.

 

“I hope you're right, both your parents look like they might end up doing something stupid.” Kima commented with a sigh. Those two were drifting apart fast; she could tell all too clearly. They badly needed something to snap them out of it.

 

“Hmph, I think Yukido's the only real problem. He's so caught up in his own little twisted fantasies he can't see how much those around him are hurting. I know he's a selfish piece of work but he's always cared about Mother and Father,” Yume said. She was hoping there might be something to her brother that was worthwhile. He may be turning out as a hopeless twisted little shit but he was still her little brother.

 

She had watched him grow up and helped raise him as practice for the day she may have her own pups. Such was tradition among inu youkai. So if something was this wrong she could have been able to stop it, and that thought hurt like nothing else.

 

“I don't know, Yume. He's really lost it, I mean I tried talking to him and jeez it was scary Yume, totally scary.” Kima replied. Yukido had been so distant, like he wasn't listening and not in a spaced out way either. It was like he was listening to something else really intently.

 

“Well I think this turn of events might be the kick in the butt he needs. So for now let's concentrate on Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. After all, we need to figure out how we'll convince them to take our offer.” Yume replied. She had enough of this depressing topic; it was time for a change of pace.

 

“Yeah, about that… Yume, I hate to say this but you don't have a snowflake's chance in hell,” Kima mocked, only to be knocked out of the sky by a quickly moving pillow courtesy of Yume.

 

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

 

Once again Inuyasha found himself sprawled out on the little futon within his brother's room. It was around mid afternoon and he would not be able to see Kokoro till late the next morning. Apparently - and this was according to his brother - the woman was not a morning person.

 

Sesshoumaru had once again set up his little writing station upon his bed. The sound of a brush being swiped across the smooth parchment was now a consistent background noise. Inuyasha had grown quickly bored of his brother's endless scribbling. He now stared at the ceiling wondering just how many carving there were embedded in the support beams. Just how long it did it take to have them all carved out?

 

“God dammit it is so boring here!” Inuyasha exclaimed. He was at his wit's end. At the village he could at least find someone with chores he could help out with; anything to keep from being utterly bored.

 

“If you are so bored little brother, then perhaps starting the lessons would not be such a bad idea?” Sesshoumaru replied. He was staying calm despite the fact that his brother's sudden outburst had caused him to splotch his almost finished scroll. Honestly, how could his brother be so opposed to just laying around and doing nothing?

 

“I already told you to shove it!” Inuyasha snapped. Wouldn't his brother give that a rest? He had made it clear he wasn't going to do those stupid lesions. Just because he had felt guilty over getting his big brother in trouble didn't mean he was simply going to play along.

 

“Well than how about a way to deliver a message to your friends should our original plan fail?” Sesshoumaru asked curiously. He had been contemplating this option for a while now and felt it would be their most likely option.

 

“What do you mean? I'm getting the hell out of here!” Inuyasha replied. He was interested in what his brother had to say if for no other reason then to kill the endless boredom that had set into his brain.

 

“Come up here for a moment.” Sesshoumaru asked.

 

Inuyasha looked at his brother with a bored expression. The bastard had not so much at spared him a glance since they had re-entered the room. Well it would be a change of pace… so the hanyou dragged his body up from the futon. With a groan he moved to sit on the bed opposite his brother.

 

“Well I'm up. Now what?” the hanyou grumbled.

 

Sesshoumaru handed Inuyasha a calligraphy brush, shoveling it into his hand and sliding a piece of parchment over to him.

 

“I think it would be a good idea if we were to write letters explaining things to our traveling companions. If Kokoro will not allow us to leave we may be able to convince her to send message carriers with the letters instead.” The youkai explained. This would at least mean he wasn't just disappearing for the season without so much as a word.

 

“I'm getting out of here end of story; I don't need to write a stupid fucking letter,” Inuyasha cursed. He held the brush in his grip like the hilt of a sword tight with his whole hand curled around it.

 

“Yes I can see that you will not relent from your goal. However while you are figuring out how to escape from this place would you truly wish your companions to worry? Or worse, come barging towards this keep weapons drawn. Such foolishness would mean their deaths before word of the approach even reach are ears,” Sesshoumaru pointed out. He was not going to lose his temper again; he would remain calm and collected. He would not give reason to Raiton to once again humiliate him. He may be under Raiton's rule but he was not a pup that could be punished at the slightest inclination.

 

It was horrible how little he could do in this place to save face in front of his brother. The boy should be able to look up to him to revere and respect him. Sesshoumaru could not stand becoming nothing but a fool to the hanyou's eyes. He was currently the youngest full blood in this house. He held very little influence on anything or anyone within the walls of the manor. Anyone who did revere him left with him to serve in the western lands.

 

“I ain't gonna be here long enough for that to happen!” Inuyasha snapped. Why was his brother trying to guilt trip him? He wasn't going to write the letter and that was that!

 

“Inuyasha please show some grace and hold your tongue for but a moment. I am simply offering a way to buy time for the sake for your… friends. Are they worth so little to you that you would refuse so much as writing a single short letter?” Sesshoumaru continued.

 

“SHUT UP!” Inuyasha yelled. He had enough who was his brother to speak so freely he never cared for anyone but himself!

 

Inuyasha stopped suddenly that thought catching in his mind. Sesshoumaru did care. He cared for that human girl who worshipped the ground he walked on. He cared for Kohaku who had grown so loyal over his time with the youkai lord. Then there was Jaken, Sesshoumaru protected the imp in his own way and that showed he cared at least a little.

 

The hanyou lowered the fist that had flown up in his rage. Sesshoumaru was writing this letter too. The youkai truly felt it was the right thing to do by his friends and was simply offering, well strongly recommending that Inuyasha did the same. The hanyou felt ashamed.

 

“Ah… I kinda overreacted there.” Inuyasha said slowly.

 

“Indeed.” Sesshoumaru replied. He was surprised his brother had been able to regain control of himself so quickly. The youkai had not thought his brother capable of controlling his temper in anyway by any means.

 

“Inuyasha, why are you so opposed to this? Can you not write?” Sesshoumaru queried.

 

“Of course I can bloody well write!” The hanyou snapped once again. He was starting to panic he needed to calm down just don't freak out and everything would be okay.

 

Sesshoumaru reached over and moved Inuyasha's hand to dip the brush into the bamboo ink pot. He did it so quickly Inuyasha did not have the time to react before the youkai spoke.

 

“Let me see you write your name, then I will believe your words little brother. It is not a hard request to complete and it will avoid needless argument.”

 

Inuyasha almost swallowed hard glaring at his brother. Well it was just his name he could do that well he used to be able to do that. Back when his mother was alive when the hanyou had reason to practice his writing. He looked at the page it couldn't be so hard all he needed to do was a few strokes and Sesshoumaru would drop the subject all together.

 

As Sesshoumaru moved his hand away he could see the determination in his brother's eyes. He had convinced his brother to prove that he could complete this simple task. Regardless the youkai could tell that Inuyasha would not be able to. The hanyou held the bush like a child with too small hands would he had clearly not use a brush in a long time. His ability to read for the most part had hidden this all too well.

 

Inuyasha lifted the brush and brought it over the paper. He felt a twitch of annoyance when ink dripped prematurely onto the paper in tiny little splotches. Trying to cover up the childish blunder he attempted the first stroke over the droplets. He did not have the accuracy or the light touch that was needed. His first stroke resulted in a large messy splotch right against the page. The hanyou begun to panic and in his attempts to correct his mistakes he only managed to make more of a mess. His hand was shaking in a panicked rage and was quickly losing ink in the brush. The hanyou re-dipped his brush without thinking; only wanting to attempt another shot at fixing what he had done.

 

“Inuyasha~” Sesshoumaru began but was cut off quite quickly.

 

“Shut up… you asshole!” Inuyasha snapped. His hand flung up with a clenching fist ready to fight in his rage as always. However this time he gripped an ink-covered brush not a weapon's hilt. As it flew up, ink droplets sprang free in an almost slow motion horror sequence. The offending black droplets flew through the air and splattered arose Sesshoumaru's chest rite up and onto the inu youkai's face.

 

The offending charcoal water seeped into the silk with speed that would make Koga envious. The pretty white cloth marred in a few moments much to the horror of Inuyasha.

 

The hanyou mouth dropped open. He had been in such a panic. He had not meant to do this; it was completely by accident. The youkai would kill him for sure, he'd beat the life out of him. Fear and harsh panic set in. There was no way he'd get away with this.

 

“Oh shit I, I, I did mean to do that I swear! Oh god ah sorry ah..” Inuyasha babbled.

 

Sesshoumaru sat there for a moment in shock he had not anticipated this. An arm moved up and began to wipe the ink from his face. The fine silk of his kimono was utterly ruined anyway. The rage boiled behind his mind.He'd wring the little bastard's neck for this.

 

Inuyasha's stuttering was for a moment annoying however. Once the youkai had listened to him it sounded a little too familiar. With a harsh sigh the youkai reined in his temper. He had once been in Inuyasha's position; not quite like this mind you. After all, he had knocked a pot of ink over not flicked a brush at someone. He knew what it was like to be punished for an accident. He would not lose his temper over such a trivial little thing. He would not be like Yume.

 

“Calm yourself Inuyasha, it was a mistake. One you will not repeat and one we shall not discuss ever again; is that quite clear?” The inu youkai bit out sharply.

 

“Eh, Yeah got it… ah I really am sorry.” Inuyasha replied. He didn't look at his brother; the reality of what he had just done was setting in. He could not have made a bigger fool of himself if he had tried and he felt his cheeks heat up at the thought. This couldn't get much worse as far as humiliation went.

 

The hanyou was surprised his brother had let him off without so much as a backhander. Had Raiton's little stunt affected his brother that deeply? It pissed the hanyou off but he couldn't confront his brother about it. He did hold some value to his life thank you very much.

 

Sesshoumaru almost did a double-take when he noticed the slightest blush cover his brother cheeks… the boy was feeling ashamed and guilty, no doubt. However that did not explain why the sight of him with his eyes downcasted and his face flushed was so… alluring.

 

The youkai refused to think further on the matter; it was simply a passing feeling. A mere moment's interest, it happens. His curious nature saw to that. He got up with the intent to change his outer kimono when a knock at the door sounded. The youkai wanted to sigh it was most likely servants or god forbid, Kyo or Shido.

 

He walked over to the solid wooden sliding door and slid it open.

 

“Hi Sesshou-kun!” came Yume's voice as he opened the door.

Reader Reviews: Yes, I'm loved! Please continue to send in reviews and tell me how I'm doing and if you still like it! I really do love of them ^^.

 

midnightsweet

it getting very good. keep it up.

 

Kiten's response: Glad to hear it! Thanks for the review ^^

 

milenalupin

Very creative layout of the story. I think you've captured me there. (^_^) The original characters are interesting, so far. I especially like Kokoro. Not quite sure about Yume, though - she seem too willful and interfering to be a supporting character. Beware of making her a Mary Sue! But, of course, since I've only seen a few moments of her, it's not fair to judge now. I'll wait patiently what you're going to do with her. One point of criticism I do need to mention, though. Please mind the spelling of canon character names. The young bat hanyou is really called Shiori. Inuyasha's Dad's title is "inu no taisho" (or taishou) - not Taishio. And the old village miko's name is Kaede (Japanese for maple). While I admit it's a pet peeve of mine, I do think I'm not the only one who gets annoyed about the creative name spelling...

 

Kiten's response: Okay, I'm glad you pointed this out. I got Inu's dad's name from the Inuyasha page on Wikipedia. However I may have left it as the incorrect way of spelling it in some places because I was writing far too quickly. As for the bat, well I was certain her name was Saiori because that's what it sounded like when I heard it in the episode. Guess I was mistaken ^^; I'm going to go through my chapters and see where I've made these mistakes and hopefully correct then. My beta reader wouldn't spot these things unfortunately. He's not an Inuyasha nut really.

Neko: Oi! Speak for yourself! You carry on and talk about Inu-san so bloody much to begin with I've probably learnt more from you than watching the actual show! Although you're right, I didn't spot that mistake with Inu-papa. I WAS wondering about Kaede's spelling, mind. I just left it because I figured since you're the fangirl you were right - my mistake! ^^

 

Kiten: Erm, right. On the other hand Milen-chan, you get people who start pissing blood over Sesshoumaru verses Sesshoumaru. Both are correct spellings, but you said Taishou verses Taisho so I know you're cool. I mainly got that wrong on pronunciation, ehehehehe… sorry about that.

 

 

loretta537

This is great!! i think this will be a wonderful story if you keep up the good work. can we have a chapter or more a week?

 

Kiten's response: I'm aiming for a chapter a week, and I set myself to a minimum of 4000 words per chapter. That's before visitor reviews are answered, and the little bit of nonsense up top.

Neko: The one-week rule is mostly my fault. I'm pretty much Kiten's most trusted English Nazi (lucky me) and with my job and other nonsensical things I had to insist that she do these only one chapter a week, otherwise I'm going to be swamped and won't be able to keep up with her. Depending on how things go I might be able to do a bit more editing in each week but that really does depend on how the upcoming medical crap goes and if my awesome job kills me. Assuming Kiten doesn't first.

Kiten: You got that rite

 

Rethira

poor Inu...he just can't get a break can he?

 

Kiten's response: Well I'd say there both in trouble at this point, heh ^^

 

loretta537

this is a great story, i hope that they get to go explain to their friends what's going on and i cant wait to see what happens in that messed up family of theirs.

 

Kiten's response: Hehe, well chaos is about to unfold now ^^ hope you continue to enjoy my fic and make comments on it.

 

Affie and Rysha

Interesting story... Af is looking foreward to reading more and I'm curious to see what you're going to do with the "cursed items" hope to read more of your work soon

 

Kiten's response: Yes, there will be a few items but I don't want to flood my story with it and turn Yume into a meager Mary-Sue so there'll be interesting events concerning them, but they will not dominate the story; not by a long shot.

 

wolfluv

OH YEAH! From the get go this sounds like a real royal family everyone trying to one up the other he he sorry for the evil glee but as the plot thickens I feel scared for Inuyasha but I think so even more for the family! Sess man he's totally got his work cut out for him. Not just with Inu but if he learns of his familys tacts when it comes to his brother will he finally go out of his way to make amends??

 

This is also like bringing home your boyfriend for the parents to meet for the first time and they drag out the family album and tell ALL of the stuff you NEVER want anyone to know about or God forbid remember! What interesting things will Inu find out to use as his advantage over his "perfect brother?" OH that just screams naked baby pictures from hell... HE HE HE HA HA! I LOVE IT!

 

THANK YOU FOR UPDATING AND THANK YOU NEKO FOR BETAING!

 

Kiten's response: Oh yes, this review made my day! And finally someone else sees were the humor was supposed to be in this fic. Yes I had that happen to me, my sister grabbed the photo album when I was getting him a drink, gah mortification. Thank you so much for the long and entertaining review, it made me smile big time and I will pass on your praise to Neko… oh wait he'll see this when he beta reads my review replies ^^; heh, thanks again and I hope to hear from you again!

Neko: Cheers wolfluv, I appreciate it ^^ and for future reference Kiten's sister really can be a brat at times. Kinda a lot like mine, come to think of it… maybe younger sisters are universal pains in the arse. Or younger brothers, in Sesshoumaru's case. Along with older brothers, older sisters and the rest of the entire sodding family…
