InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ different shades of black ❯ last chance to lose your keys ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: I want to own Inuyasha…but I don't. So drop it, ok?

 

Sry for this being so late.

 

***************************

But the main reason for his slowness was that he felt a youkai on the other side. So did Kagome, and was about to open her mouth to say as much when Natasha heard her intake of breath. “Kags! Shii-ut up, ok wench?” saying this with out breaking his staring contest with the door.

 

Inuyasha slivered open the door. And looked at the other side.

 

With seeing who it is, Natasha's face paled, and dropped

 

“Oh shit no!”

Inuyasha, on reflex, closed the door with a very loud *slam*. He nodded his head at the door as if it had just asked him, if that was enough.

 

Walking away, Kagome's face was written with something way past confusion. “What the hell…”

 

“Don't fucking ask. It's not worth it. He wasn't…” A knocking as loud as the Slam that had just occurred interrupted him. This time it was followed by a loud voice, coming from the other side of the door. The voice was muffled, but still loud.

 

“OPEN UP THE FUCKING DOOR. I WILL BREAK IT DOWN, IF YOU DON'T. I HAVE ABSOULTUTLY NO QUSAMS WITH THAT.”

 

Inuyasha's head fell back, and he looked at the ceiling, wondering if fixing a door would be possible at this time at night, without having to run to the store.

 

A series of more aggregated knocks came once more. “Fine fucking FINE!” Inuyasha stalked to the door and swung it open.

 

Putting on a cocky smile, which Kagome has seen many times, he looked at the man at the door “well, hello there. Do you wish to come in?”

 

“Cut the crap, Inuyasha” The man walked into the tiny apartment.

 

Still kneeling on the couch, Kagome watched his every movement, with keen interest. She has never heard anybody win a verbal fight, no matter how long or short, with Inuyasha, with our resorting to tears to win.

 

The man looked oddly like Inuyasha. Same long silver hair, and beautiful golden eyes, that she could see from her side of the room. The differences were there as well, which made her wonder whether or not they really were related.

 

This intruder had pointy elf-like ears on the side of his head, which he wasn't trying to hide in the slightest, unlike Inuyasha who was constantly hiding his furry triangles. As well, this man's entire demeanor was different. He was more regal, and carried himself with a lot less aggression to his surroundings, even after the outburst at the door, he acted cool and collected

 

Thinking about it, they way he walked in, wasn't really a walk. It was if he glided in. ==a man has got to have a lot of self confidence to walk like that == she thought with an amused smile, and a cut eye, learning not to trust anybody anymore, right of the bat.

 

The man deftly turned to Kagome and made eye-contact which made her heart race. And made Inuyasha growl, but only low enough for the new man to hear him. “If you're looking for Miroku he's not here. Thanks for comin' out, g'bye now”

 

The door was still wide open, with Inuyasha holding onto the handle for dear life. In a vain attempt at thinking this man would leave quickly.

 

“I am not here for Miroku, baka. And anyways, I saw him grouping some crying girl on the street, so I'd figure I would leave him be”

 

Kagome inwardly groaned at the information of Sango and Miroku ==well, at least they haven't completely left the area. Maybe if this guy does end up attacking Inuyasha I could...==

 

Her thoughts were cut short when she realized the man had not yet turned away from looking at her. That probably wouldn't have bugged her as much as his expression, or rather lack there of, on his face.

 

“Inuyasha no baka! Who is this?” his lips came up to reveal a pair of very sharp fangs when he talked to Inuyasha, showing a glimpse of distaste.

 

“Fluffy, this is Kagome.Kags, this is fluffy!” Inuyasha smirked at the way the man quickly grimaced then glared at Inuyasha with the introductions.

 

“I could care less about names, unless it's a women screaming mine out, from underneath me. What I mean is why is she here? I don't smell you on her, so she can't be your latest fuck toy. And I thought you had sworn off women anyways, after that slut of a bitch you had last”

 

Inuyasha frowned. He didn't think it was best for Kagome to know that he had sworn off women. That might appear like he was just messing with her this entire time.

 

And he certainly hadn't told Kagome that others considered Kikyou as “his”, but he decided to hope that she didn't catch it, and move on.

 

“Yo! Fluff for brains. When did you talk to Miroku last?”

 

“Last night. He found out that I was with in these cities limits and invited me for dinner. Apparently wanting to fill me in on some things. I told him not a snowballs chance in hell. But then he remarked that there was something that I need to find out from you, kuso-breath.And at this time, I must believe it is this human whench before me. Now…”

 

With swiftness that Kagome had never see Inuyasha display before he was at the couch, with his right hand encircling her throat. Not chocking her, but giving her very little room to move.

 

“…for the last time. Who the hell is this? Why is she here, and why was she is staring at my ears?”

 

Inuyasha walked up behind his brother. Knowing full well he wouldn't hurt Kagome. But smelling her fear, he relented and gave him the information. He didn't want to, though. Telling him meant he knew about her, which meant he might need her for `assignments'. But he knew this was the quickest way to get him to put her down, meaning the quickest way to ease her fear that was pouring off of her, which was making him sick and slightly aroused at the same time. ==must focus on the bad points of this…not the scent. Shit shit shit. Focus on Sesshoumaru. He's doing this to her. Not you. Picture him in a Speedo if that helps! == Inuyasha shuddered then looked at Kagome.

 

“Too late” Sesshoumaru had grown impatient. And the scent that was coming off Kagome was all top sweet to him. Pictures of Kagome writhing in pain swarmed his consciousness, and started to bring down the all-to-secure barrier of his emotions.

 

With an expeditious movement, Sesshoumaru tossed Kagome to the side of the room, effectively knocking her on the head when she made contact with the wall. Her fear grew ten fold. Which made Inuyasha a little antsier.

 

“Oi, Fluff ball that's Kagome. She's the `one' that Miroku told you about. The one he dreamt about”Inuyasha's voice rose to the high pitched panic that affectively flattened his own ears to his head, let alone made Sesshoumaru cringe.

 

The first real emotion that Kagome had seen on the mans face finally appeared, and it was a mix if understanding and victory. He walked over to her and lifted her up by her underarms and set her roughly back on the couch.

 

“A thousand apologize, dear Kagome. Miroku has told me about you, but never gave me a name, since the phone lines aren't always safe, as I'm sure you're well aware”

 

Her hand, on impulse, went to her throat to massage where his hand had been. “Um, sure. Now who the hell are you?” her voice didn't sound as confident as the words she spoke, which made the man laugh.

 

“You seem to be hanging around my baka brother too much”

 

Her eyes grew wide and she looked over at Inuyasha who was glaring at his brother with a look that made her shiver, but in the meantime moved closer to Kagome.

 

The man `ahem'ed to get the girls attention. “My name is Sesshoumaru. NOT fluffy” he said the last part with an icy look at Inuyasha. The look fit his demeanor as of yet.

 

“This Inuyasha is my half-breed-brother. I have no idea what he has said about me, if anything, so I am unsure what you know about me”

 

Inuyasha sat down on the couch beside Kagome, except he was more on the edge of his seat, compared to her, who had not moved from where Sesshoumaru had put her.

 

“Um, he hasn't really told me much. Mainly that you're his `connection', among other things. All very vague”

 

“I see. That is fine. I'd rather tell you myself then pick through the insults he would have left with you, to find out what he said.” All this time is was pacing like a trapt animal. Kagome could sense the difference in the brothers' auras. Even though Sesshoumar seemed more regal, he also had an animalistic side to him, which was very prevalent, and she could tell, was also very dangerous.

 

He stopped and looked at her when she gave a shaky sigh to calm her self. Sesshoumaru had remembered that she was a miko and Wiccan, so he knew she could sense his tension. He hated small areas like his brothers apartment. He needed to be freer then that.

 

He gave her a slight cut eye. “You are wise Miko to keep your mouth shut so far, as to what you realize about me. At least my brother's idiocy hasn't rubbed off onto you.”

 

Inuyasha sighed then growled. He just wanted him to leave.

 

“I am the dark lord of the western realm. Very much like Naraku, just I keep to my own hemisphere. And could care less about pathetic humans, let alone want to invade their territory. That is why I'm helping your little quest. I believe that dark world lords must know their place” his fangs were bared again at the last sentence.

 

Inuayshas head came up through his brother's self-introduction. And then stood up. “Is that all? We all know each other…yay! No can you leave?” Kagome didn't miss the tiniest hint of a puppy whine in his voice, which made her giggle.

 

“What the hell…”

 

“Your voice baka. It reminded her of a puppy” Came the stoic response from Sesshoumaru.

 

Inuyasha looked at her with a `we-are-not-at-all-amused' look which made her shut up, then turned back to the youkai standing before him.

 

“Inubaka, I wish to talk to you, away from the female. Is there a place we can do this?”

 

“Hai, I guess. Follow me fluff ball” Inuyasha brushed past him, bumping into his shoulder intentionally, on his way to the bedroom.

 

As soon as the door was closed Sesshoumaru's emotions collapsed as he sat on the bed.

 

“Holy fuck. That woman is intoxicating. I think I may bed her and…”

 

“No fucking way Sesshoumaru. I'm her protector. And no way in the seven hells are you gonna bed her”

 

Sesshoumaru choose to ignore the open opposition coming from his brother and continued in his own little world

 

“The way her blood pounded under my claws when her fear was raised. Addicting”

 

Inuyasha lost control at the spoken wish to cause her fear again and launched an attack on the collapsed form on his bed.

 

He jumped and landed his right foot on Sesshoumarus neck, slowly cutting off the air supply, and the other foot on his stomach, forcing out any remaining air left in his form.

 

Sesshoumaru let out a muffled `ugh' when he felt the air being kicked out of him. Lifting his left hand he grabbed Inuyasha by his right foot and pulled it away from his neck, which caused Inuyasha to be put in a roll, backwards.

 

“Mother FUCKER!” Inuyasha hit the floor on his back, hard.

 

Sesshoumaru was about to launch another attack, when he straightened up, then leaned down, picking up Inuyasha the same way he had frightened Kagome, by lifting him up with his hand on Inuayshas neck.

 

Sesshoumaru looked his brother once over and set him back down with a sadistically smirk. “I see. Well, we shall just have to see who the victor in this battle may be, but trust me brother, you may try and `protect her from me', but I always get what I want” Sesshoumaru placed Inuyasha back on the floor, in a clumsy pile of black and silver.

 

“Now, as to my visit, brother”

 

Inuyasha was still on the floor deciding to lean against a wall, instead of tempting fate and getting up again. “Right, you're up on the surface. What? Decided to check out the sky hasn't fallen yet? Or did your little hell whole spit you out?”

 

“Neither” Sesshoumaru ground his teeth as to not burst into another rage. Diplomacy being needed in the place of his brother, as much as a volatile bomb needed minimal handling.

 

“The Western Underworld has heard a lot of Naraku, as of lately. Other then the above ground sources that we have placed. And since I have already talked to Miroku, I thought you should be let in the loop, as it were. Plus, there is a little matter of Kikyou that needs to be taken care of”

 

“And what would that little matter be?” Inuyasha's eyes flashed at his brother. He knew that this was coming. But with the recent addition of Kagome in the puzzle, he didn't want to discuss it.

 

“Um… Inuyasha? I'm, um I'm gonna go home now. Ok?”

 

Kagome, who was waiting in the main room, had made up her mind that she didn't really want another run in with Inuyashas brother.

 

She cracked the door ever so slightly ajar, to peek in. and saw Inuyasha with his face contorted in rage, with what looked like a very red smack mark on his face.

 

Inuyasha how was glad for the interruption of this particular conversation and welcomed the intrusion. Even though he knew he was gonna have to talk to Kagome later about knocking before coming into a room that he was in. since he had a habit of walking around naked. Something which he wasn't gonna change now that they were living together.

 

He got up with a groan and opened the door a little wider. In a whisper, which he knew Sesshoumaru could hear, he let her know that was not needed “your staying here tonight, Kags. I already talked to you mother” while running his hands along her arms.

 

Kagome paled at the revelation of her mother being talked to already.

 

“What do…you already… when? What did she…”

 

“I'll tell you later. You'll sleep in here tonight though, and I'll sleep on the couch, but just gimme a few minutes with Sessh, ok?”

 

Kagome nodded a little bit dumfoundedly at everything. “Sure. Then I'll just go have a bath then. Where are your towels?” ==well, at least with a bath I won't run the chance of running into his brother when he leaves, as long as I stay in there long enough. I don't care HOW pruney I get, dammit==

 

“In the cabinet underneath the sink, in the bathroom”

 

Kagome nodded as she left the room. Wanting to leave that room or any room with Sesshoumaru as quickly as possible, but still gave a very fleeting death glare at Sesshoumaru, wanting him to also know how much she hated him at the moment.

 

As soon as Inuyasha had heard the bathroom door click he closed the bedroom door, he turned to Sesshoumaru.

 

“Now, were you just leaving?” He smiled, knowing that his half-brother was not as stupid as to fall for that, but thought it would be worth the try anyways.

 

Sesshoumaru just shook his head and sat back down on the edge of the bed. He blinked at his younger brother “Kikyou, brother”

 

Inuyasha sighed, and slumped his head, letting his bangs cover the apparent growing anger that was flashing in his eyes.

 

“That bitch used me, and you know it. She was only with me to leak information about you to take back to Naraku, you can't hold this…”

 

“It is not me brother it is youkai law. I understand your hate for her. She is a vile woman that deserves, what is worse then death.” Sesshoumaru let hate show in his eyes, and his hands tightened on the bed covers.”

 

“But.”

 

“No. we both were deceived. We both trusted her to much. Even I bedded her, you know that. Before she went to you. And even after she left me, we still talked. I knew she was powerful. And she is. But that is because of Naraku. She is his puppet. He is the master puppeteer, but that does not deny the fact, Inuyasha. She has come to me with valid points of…”

 

“Screw the points. You allowed Naraku's little WHORE into your kami damn fucking lair!?” Inuyasha was now pacing and had his hand to his forehead”

 

“Inuyasha. Stop this! You must meet at least some of her demands. I like it, probably less then you do. Since she has told me some of them already”

 

“What? Demands? She has no right to DEMAND anything”

 

Sesshoumaru sighed “Inuyasha…she is your mate”
