InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Drama of Edo High: A Modern Tale ❯ Time To Go Home ( Chapter 53 )

CHAPTER 53: TIME TO GO HOME

 

Sesshoumaru rubbed the bridge of his nose and turned a little in his home office chair. He looked up and across his desk at a pair of guilty teenagers. He scowled. “But in the entertainment center?”

 

One grumbled and crossed their arms and the other blushed and looked away. Sesshoumaru let the rubbing hand fall to his desk with a thud and he leaned back his head to his chair. “I can't believe you two…you could at least have the decency to go upstairs.”

 

“We said we were sorry alright!” Inuyasha barked, hiding the furious blush the graced his cheeks. Kagome fidgeted with her lap.

 

Sesshoumaru brought up his head, “do you know how irresponsible that was?”

 

“Irresponsible?!” Inuyasha snapped, whipping his head around, “how irresponsible was it? Huh? You know damn well what we do!”

 

“Inuyasha!” Kagome hissed, getting redder by the second.

 

“keh,” her boyfriend snorted, going back to grumbling that was intelligible that even Sesshoumaru couldn't decipher it. The inu youkai felt like slamming his head on his perfectly polished desk.

 

“That's not the entire point dope,” Sesshoumaru sighed, turning his chair to face forward again. The teens looked to him curious, “do you even use protection? What would happen if—“

 

“OF COURSE WE DO!!” Inuyasha exploded, face red from not only embarrassment but also outrage. Did his own brother think so little of him?! Kagome moaned miserably and leaned her head in her hands. The older demon blinked a bit in shock at his brother's behavior. Inuyasha took a breath to calm himself, running a clawed hand through silver tresses. “Listen…we're not as irresponsible as you think. Even before our relationship turn sexual, Kagome was on the pill.”

 

“…Are you serious?” Sesshoumaru drawled, a new dawning to his molten eyes. He clasped his hands together when a furiously blushing Kagome nodded slowly. He sighed. This…was not good. Not good at all.

 

Inuyasha furrowed his brows, “what? Is that not responsible enough for you?”

 

“No Inuyasha, its not,” the elder brother snapped suddenly, giving the surprised younger sibling a mild glare. “Obviously, there are a few things you don't know. Why I have to be the one to tell you these things, I'll never understand.”

 

“Wait…” Kagome raised cautious coffee eyes to meet Sesshoumaru's, her head turned curiously. “What do you mean? I mean, it's the pill, its pretty safe.”

 

“That's what you'd think wouldn't you? Jesus…humans…”

 

“Hey! Since when the hell are you a racist!?” Inuyasha barked, jumping from his seat, and had a distinct vein pulsing in his brother's temple. Sesshoumaru sighed again as Kagome looked taken aback at his comment, hoping it would relieve some of his tension headache. Which it didn't.

 

“Alright, okay, listen,” he said calmly, taking a breath, “I've had a hell of a week. This whole business with naraku and the docks and shipyards has uprooted the corporation from its foundation. It seems our friend liked to bribe higher up authorities, so we gotta find them now. I have the worst headache of all time, and really, I have no time to deal with you, so I'll make this quick.”

 

Good, it was very good to see them sit down like civilized people, and LISTEN for once. Damn teenagers. Damn them and their growth spurts and hormones. Is it an understatement to say he didn't like his teen years much?

 

Sesshoumaru sat straighter in his chair, “okay, first lesson on youkai mating—“

 

“Hold up, wait a sec,” Sesshoumaru really wanted to growl as his brother interrupted, “me and Kagome aren't mates, I mean, we're barely old enough to marry!”

 

“Okay, one, you just ignored the fact your girlfriend is in the same damn room and she's looking to kill you with very good glares,” he would have grinned as his brother squirmed and paled a bit when he paid attention to the very frigid air that suddenly appeared, but he had matters to attend to, “and two, I'll explain what that means. Youkai instincts are much, much, MUCH different than humans. As soon as a youkai turns sexually active, natural instinct calls for them to find a mate, and they'll know it when they find them. And when intended mates are found, something happens hormonally, its called fertility.”

 

They gave him blank stares. He sighed…again, “okay, Inuyasha, you being a hanyou, you've inherited youkai instincts. So therefore, you've found your mate, and you know it. Don't shake your head at me, I'm not done. And Kagome's body has responded to yours, so you've both are now increased in fertility.”

 

“Are you saying…” Kagome trailed off in utter shock.

 

Sesshoumaru nodded, “those pills? They've turned to shit, they don't mean anything. By “mating” with Inuyasha, your body has increased over 50 percent in fertility, and Inuyasha with his youkai blood well…even if you hadn't responded, he would have given you a very good chance of getting pregnant on his own. Youkai DNA is very persistent, and will actually change you from the inside out to increase any chances of reproducing with you. But now that you've proclaimed love for each other I'd say—“

 

“I could be pregnant?” she whispered, taking a hold of her abdomen, “I could seriously be pregnant?! As in, a baby in me, HIS baby in me and we would have no idea until it was too late—“

 

“Kagome, calm down, you're not pregnant” his brother deflated his panic as soon as Kagome did, if not before, “trust me, not only would I have noticed any changes in smell, but most definitely Inuyasha, it would be his pup. So I'm telling you, no asking you, please, for the sake of both you're sanities, go buy some damn condoms.”

 

“Well…” Inuyasha drawled, staring thoughtfully at the floor. Sesshoumaru didn't really like that look on his face, “what about you?”

 

“What about me?” the headache was coming back, he could feel it.

 

“What about you and Kagura?”

 

A tinge of red graced the youkai lord's cheeks, “that's none of your business!”

 

“Inuyasha…” Kagome urged, but her boyfriend didn't back down. His got his brother cornered, and that's not an opportunity he didn't pass up.

 

The hanyou pointed an accusing finger at him, “no, you don't see them at night Kagome, you're not always here. The way Kagura comes over late at night, or the way you sneak out like a damn teenager yourself! That's right! I know you bastard!”

 

“I don't see how this has anything to do—“

“Its got plenty!” Inuyasha laughed a bit, “why are you lecturing us on protection when chances are, you and Kagura are going at it like jackrabbits, fucking behind closed doors!”

 

“Inuyasha!” Kagome cried indignantly, gaping opened mouthed at him.

 

Sesshoumaru was turning an usual red for him, whether from embarrassment of anger, one could only guess. Inuyasha crossed his arms smugly, tucking his tongue in her cheeks as he laughed softly. “That's right, you think you high and mighty acting the I-know-better role, when chances are, you just like us. How you gonna tell us about protection, when, by that look on your face, you don't use it yourself?”

 

“ENOUGH!” Sesshoumaru roared, making Kagome scream lightly, and actually had Inuyasha grasping the sides of his chair in chock. Never, never has he heard Sesshoumaru yell like that.

 

The youkai stood rigid behind his desk, and high pitched screeching filling the room as his claws scraped over the polish as his hands tensed palm down on the desk, making them wince and grimace. He wasn't growling, but his fangs were bared just a bit, and Inuyasha froze as his eyes flashed a bit of crimson.

 

Despite his agitated state, Sesshoumaru spoke as calmly as if he was in a meeting. “Kagome, I'm going to have to ask you to leave right now, I need to speak with my brother.”

 

Kagome was up and out of her seat faster than if a fire was under her, “no need to ask twice!”

 

“Hey!” Inuyasha barked, growling lowly at the door that traitor retreated from. Traitorous wench! She was supposed to be on his side!

 

Much to his chagrin, Inuyasha yelped when iron strong hands clamped down on the chair arms on each side of him, and his elder brother's face was suddenly in his, glaring hotter than lava. He actually started sweating.

 

This time when the youkai spoke, all irritation and frustration rung clear in his growled words, his claws digging into the arm rests. “You listen and you listen good little brother. I have no idea where you got the nerve to speak to me that way, but know, I won' stand for it. Got it?”

 

Inuyasha nodded sharply.

 

“Good,” Sesshoumaru lowered the growling, but remained hissing at him disdainfully, “it really is none of your business, and I'm not sure why I'm telling you, but as for me and Kagura, even if we weren't using protection, we have every right to and are aware of the consequences. As for you and Kagome, you are children. You are in no way prepared for a child if it occurs, and I swear by all that is holy Inuyasha…you get that girl in trouble and I will have your skin.”

 

Though he was good at not showing it, Inuyasha sat shivering inwardly in his chair as Sesshoumaru straightened, staring balefully down at him. The youkai lord cleared his throat and straightened his shirt collar, putting one hand in his pant pocket. “Leave, you've caused me enough headache for one day.”

 

Inuyasha all but knocked his chair over in his haste to leave.

 

 

Kagome took a few breaths as she closed the door to Sesshoumaru's office, letting her heart settle in her ribcage. Never in her lifetime will she ever see something as scary as that. She was about to have a heart attack…

 

“Damn…”

 

Kagome jumped for the second as Terra cursed softly beside her, making her turn to the neko youkai flustered.

 

Terra held back a grin, “Inuyasha is getting peeled layer by layer in there!”

 

Kagome sighed, running a hand through her locks, “I never realized Sesshoumaru can be so scary.”

 

“Oh if you could hear what I hear,” Terra's pointed ear twitched cutely, making Kagome smile.

 

“You're the one who got us in trouble,” Kagome stated, crossing her arms and leaning on the doorframe.

 

“Oh no, don't put this on me,” Terra held up her hands defensively, “Mr. Sesshou could smell you from here, that's why you're in trouble.”

 

“Yeah yeah…”Kagome waved her hand dismissively, watching Terra cocked her head as she eavesdropped on her boyfriend and her brother. She still couldn't believe they had been so blatantly caught. Poor kid…must have been so scarring…

 

“Hey!” Terra cried, a bright smile crossing her face, “I have good news!”

 

“What's that?”

 

“I'm going home!”

 

“Really?” Kagome popped up surprised a bit, her arms falling and her smile widening as Terra jumped happily. “oh Terra, you must be so happy!”

 

Terra stopped mid jump, her face falling. “I guess I am…but…”

 

Kagome's smile dropped too, the circumstances to Terra's stay here coming back. She smiled softly at the neko, “you'll taking Lisa home too…”

 

Terra grasped her hands in front of her, her lip twitching up, “mom and dad…they must have made funeral arrangements by now…I can really say good bye to Lisa now, and not just know she's gone…”

 

Kagome cooed, making a pouting face as Terra's eyes glazed. She reached out and pulled the little neko to her, rubbing her back as Terra wrapped her arms around her waist. She could never comprehend a lose like that…it was just so massive. But what if she lost Souta? The little brat was annoying but…he was her brother. He was her little brother that threw his food when he was a baby, who wouldn't stay out of her room no matter how many threats, and had to be beaten constantly but came back for more. Her eyes welled as she rubbed her chin on top of Terra's head. If she lost Souta…

 

The door to the lord youkai's den burst open and closed quickly, and they turned to see a somewhat pale Inuyasha leaning on the closed door, trying to get some good breaths. Kagome raised a brow. “Inuyasha?”

 

He turned with a start, noticing he had a audience and stood straight, trying to regain some dignity. But he gave her a scowl and walked past her frigidly. She balked.

 

“Hey!” she cried, letting go of Terra, “what's with the attitude?”

 

He turned back around with arms crossed, frowning at her, “you ran out on me like a coward!”

 

“No duh,” Terra commented, cocking her brow and frowning like it wasn't out of the ordinary, “your brother might be nice, but I'd hate to see what you did.”

 

“feh,” Inuyasha waved a clawed hand at her, turning back around, his keys jingling as he pulled them out.

 

“Where are you going?” Kagome asked briskly, still a bit peeved.

 

“The drugstore.”

 

 

A couple days later, Terra caught a international flight back to LAX airport on a passenger plane, her beloved sister on another less turbulent flight, preserved in a cold box to remain for her good byes at the funeral. Terra's departure was met with many tears on Kagome's part, hugging the poor neko till she couldn't breath. Sango came too, having spent some time with that girl and giving her encouraging advice. Miroku, the poor guy, was given a couple punches before the little neko gave him a big hug, making him blush when she commented on how she liked his hidden abdominals. Sango just laughed when he looked at her. Inuyasha, to his mortification, was met with an even more enthusiastic hug and a kiss on the cheek, mumbling when Terra thanked him for cheering her up by losing in every game.

 

When the time came for Sesshoumaru to say good-bye, a soft smiling, and surprisingly there, Kagura by his side, Terra stared at him for a few seconds. Then her face crumpled and she flung her arms around the older youkai's waist, whispering her thank you softly.

After the initial shock of having the girl knock the breath from him, Sesshoumaru, for his part, rested his hands on her shoulders, a small smile to his normally flat lips.

 

Terra waved good-bye at the gate.

 

They watched as the plane passed by the window, the girls giggling as they spotted Terra waving fast at them from the plane.

 

And a few minutes later, the plane was nothing but a dot in the sky.

 

And most of them wondered…will it always be so dramatic?
