“I think he is waking up.” Inuyasha heard a woman's soft, beautiful voice as he gradually struggled to open his eyes. He moaned painfully, still feeling his head throb like the beating of a heart.

& nbsp; Something cold and wet was placed on his forehead. Little by little, the darkness in his eyes dissipated ushering forth a bit of light. He strained to focus. More light came in, giving body to a silhouette before him.

& nbsp; “That is a nasty bump,” said that same voice.

& nbsp; “You think he has amnesia?” Inuyasha's ears twitched upon hearing another female voice. It was soft but a little deeper.

When Inuyasha managed to regain total focus of his vision, the first thing he saw were a pair of large golden orbs staring down on him. They emanated kindness and warmth. The woman smiled upon realizing he was conscious yet, still dazed.

“Am I dead?” he managed to say.

& nbsp; “You should be,” answered an all too familiar male voice.

& nbsp; “Sesshoumaru!” she reprimanded.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru said nothing and continued drinking his Ginseng tea. Inuyasha slowly but painfully strived to sit up but was not permitted to do so. The woman, who wore tattoos on her face similar to Sesshoumaru's, coaxed Inuyasha to remained lying down for a bit. He did not want to, at first, but finally agreed upon his brother's threat on repeating the incident.

& nbsp; “Sesshoumaru, that is not a nice thing to say.” Said she, replacing the compress with yet another one. “You could have killed him.”

& nbsp; “His head is hard enough.” Sesshoumaru answered to excuse himself.

& nbsp; Inuyasha felt his suspended arm cramping up. “Would you mind hurrying it up! I'm cramping up!”

& nbsp; “Oh, my, he is so loud.”

& nbsp; “Look, Lady, it's not like I want to be here! Hurry the hell up so we can break these damn things!” Inuyasha abruptly sat up, knocking the cold compress off his head.

& nbsp; “Oh my, and what language,” she said, her eyes widening a bit, expressing some surprise.

& nbsp; “Well, I'm sorry it offends your delicate ears!”

& nbsp; “Inuyasha!” Sesshoumaru's voice thundered, grabbing the hanyou's undivided attention. “That will be enough.”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru glared at him. Inuyasha could only cower away wearing a pout on his face. “So childish, so violent,” began the woman, “ he is just like you when you don't get what you want.” She pointed it out to Sesshoumaru who growl in response.

& nbsp; In a far off corner, there was another female yokai sitting quietly. Her voice must have been the other one Inuyasha heard before. Contrary to the woman before him who wore an all red kimono with gold embroidery, the other one wore all white with some red. Her countenance was a mask of pure serenity.

& nbsp; “What's she staring at?” Inuyasha inquired.

& nbsp; The woman in red replied, placing another cold cloth to his head, “Is it not obvious, Inuyasha?”

& nbsp; “Hey, Sesshoumaru, these your bitches?” Inuyasha asked, whereas Sesshoumaru did not answer.

& nbsp; “No, young one,” answered the woman in red, cleaning his face off with another wash cloth, “We are his sisters.”

& nbsp; “Sisters?”

& nbsp; “Yes, his sisters…and yours. I am Oyuki and she is Kaze. Now, wash up. Dinner will be ready, shortly.”

***

Dinnertime was unusually quiet, especially for Inuyasha who was stuck to his anal retentive brother in a room full of ten yokai females whom also resulted being more of Sesshoumaru's sisters. Being Lord of the Western Lands, his brother obviously sat at the head of the room with five sisters to his left and five to his right. Gin, the eldest of them all, Sesshoumaru included, sat closest to him and Inuyasha. Her holier-than-thou disposition left much to be desired. Inuyasha was fully aware she did not want him there.

& nbsp; Everyone ate without saying a word. Each to their own. The food was delicious but Inuyasha could not say he enjoyed it much. He felt Gin's cold glare throughout the meal. Dessert was not any better. It was good but it did not quite settle well in his stomach. He noticed many eyes stealing little glances of him. It made him feel completely insignificant.

& nbsp; When it was all over, servants came in to collect the dishes before retiring. All eyes were on Lady Gin, who was the first to reach for a hot towel. With the grace that only a true lady of nobility can possess, Gin cleaned her hands. The others followed suit. Inuyasha just waited until Sesshoumaru gave him the glare to pick up the hot towel, which he did.

& nbsp; As soon as Lady Gin was through and had placed the towel on its platter, she broke the silence with her imposing voice. “That is an interesting piece of jewelry you have acquired there, Sesshoumaru. I must admit I am quite jealous.” Her manner was as cold as her brother's. The others just sat in full attention, all were straight-faced.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru said nothing.

& nbsp; “Either, you are trying to bond more with your halfling brother or you are trying to establish a new fashion trend. From what I can see, it is not the latter. So, what is the story behind this and it better be an interesting one.”

& nbsp; “Ha! Like he is going to tell you!” yelled Inuyasha.

& nbsp; “Well?” Lady Gin demanded.

& nbsp; “It happened two days ago…” Sesshoumaru recounted the entire story on how he was minding his own business, to ending up bounded to Inuyasha, to having to stay in a miko's hut for two days, up to the point of ending up at the palace. “And now, we are here in search of your wisdom.”

& nbsp; Inuyasha was shocked to hear Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands, say that he sought wisdom…from a woman. Was he in the right place? Either that, or Sesshoumaru really did butt him in the head harder than he thought.

“Honestly, Sesshoumaru, even I am not that foolish to mess with a Tenyo.” Sesshoumaru stayed quiet.

& nbsp; “What did the miko advise you to do?” She was calm yet seemed bothered.

“To apologize to her.”

“I suggest you follow her advice, then.”

“That's it! That's why we made this trip! To hear what we already Know!”

Lady Gin stared at the annoying little hanyou as he yelled his head off.

“No way I'm saying sorry!”

“Then, stay as you are, brat. Sesshoumaru could use a little playmate.” Lady Gin made her point through.

Inuyasha, about to rebut her, was pulled back like a little pup being disciplined by his master. Without more being said, Lady Gin excused herself. As she left the presence of her younger siblings, they watched quietly like soldiers. The moment she closed the screens behind her, the remaining sisters stayed seated in their respective fashion, not flinching nor moving an inch. Inuyasha could still hear Gin's light steps and smell her scent as both of these moved farther away. He was sure Sesshoumaru was doing the same thing. The steps were lighter until they were gone.

Oyuki was the first one to calmly rise from her pillow to look out the window, which oversaw the Zen garden below. “She's gone,” she lightly announced.

Without further ado, the eight sitting sisters suddenly scampered on all fours towards the brothers like stampeding animals, surrounding Inuyasha like a tight girdle.

& nbsp; “Kiyah! He's so adorable!” they all cried.

& nbsp; “Look at his cute ears!” cried one.

& nbsp; “Oh, his cute little nose!” cried another.

& nbsp; “Oh, he's so Cute I can eat him all up!”

& nbsp; One sister, named Sen, grabbed Inuyasha from behind bringing him into a powerful bear hug. As he gasped for air, she nuzzled the side of his head with outrageous affection.

& nbsp; “Group hug!” Oyuki announced with cheer.

& nbsp; “No!” Inuyasha begged but to no avail. They had all crowded into him in a huge embrace. “Hey, stop that! Stop that!” As another one tugged on his ears.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru while keeping a straight face, privately enjoyed the show. Earlier before, he regretted bringing the uncouth Inuyasha to his home. However, with his sisters' over display of affection, it more than made up the two days of discomfort and earache. Inuyasha kept crying for help while the over enthusiastic ladies hugged him, searched him, and yelled overly nice things about him, leaving Sesshoumaru out of this wave of fuzzy emotion. True, the constant pull of the chain was getting to him causing the metal to chafe his skin a bit but this was a small price to pay for revenge.

& nbsp; All was well until one of the sisters, Akai, looked up and decided to extend the love. But, before she could grab Sesshoumaru by the neck to pull him into the group, he quickly glared at her in warning. Akai huffed in disappointed and could do nothing else but sit there and pout.

The other sisters kept smothering Inuyasha with life threatening embraces. He struggled but their hold on him tightened as his cries for help were muffled by their zealous coos.

No one can hear you, InuYasha. No one will come to your aid, Sesshoumaru thought as a tiny hint of a smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth.

“Hey, watch where you're touching!” Inuyasha bellowed. Akai giggled behind her sleeve.

& nbsp; After that embarrassing ordeal, Sesshoumaru needed time to compose himself. Inuyasha, however, was not that lucky as he could see the women still sitting around him with ear to ear grins on their faces. What happened just awhile ago was more frightening than facing Naraku or his brother on the battlefield. He felt like dying.

& nbsp; Oyuki broke the silence. “We are deeply sorry. We got a little carried away.”

& nbsp; “It has been so long since Fluffy has brought anything so cute to the house.” Sen added.

& nbsp; Inuyasha's ears twitched. He looked at Sesshoumaru, on the verge of laughing, “FLUF-fy?” His older brother replied with a menacing glare.

& nbsp; “Because he is BIG and FLUFFY!” Akai, being the youngest, shrilled out wholeheartedly, hugging what was left of Sesshoumaru's left side. He wanted to shove her away but voted against it. It would anger his sisters if he did anything to make her cry.

& nbsp; On the other hand, Inuyasha shook with laughter. “Fluffy? They call you, FLUFFY!” Quicker than a flash, Inuyasha found himself in tears, rubbing the bump Sesshoumaru had previously made, after being clunked in the forehead with the Yokai Lord's manacle.

& nbsp; “Sesshoumaru!” shouted Oyuki. “Contol yourself!”

& nbsp; Sen sighed, “I will get the water.” She excused herself.

& nbsp; “I will go with you!” Akai volunteered, quickly following after her.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru continued to mind his own business while the other remaining sisters suffocated Inuyasha with attention. Renga, another of the sisters couldn't but help notice Sesshoumaru's slight grin of satisfaction. Upon observing his reaction, Renga decided to talk a little of the matter they found themselves in.

& nbsp; “Nice to see that you are a bit humored considering your circumstances, but do tell me Fluffy, what were you doing at the scene?”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru's grin disappeared yet he did not answer.

& nbsp; “It seems Fluffy is hiding something from us, what were you up to?” Kaze did not fail to add in a little of fire into the conversation.

& nbsp; “Why would I not be in property that is rightful mine?” Sesshoumaru finally answered.

& nbsp; “Oh that is right, forgot about that.” She mumbled to herself.

& nbsp; “Wait, you are going to tell me that is your property?” Inuyasha could not believe his ears yet he was trying to loosen up the grip Oyuki was constricting him with. “Ha! Who is the idiot now for having a Tenyo living on his property?”

& nbsp; Inuyasha felt a little bong on his head done by Renga. He suddenly decided to be more careful with his words. Although they were exceedenly sweet, he did not want to imagine the power of their wrath.

& nbsp; “Now, now Inuyasha,” Renga smiled as Inuyasha rubbed his bump, “we may be a powerful family but we are not stupid to mess with a Tenyo.”

& nbsp; “Besides”, interrupted Kaze, “ She says that she is permitting us the liberty of roaming her property.”

& nbsp; “Who can argue with a Tenyo!” They almost said simultaneously ending the sentence with glee.

& nbsp; By the way they had said this it seemed to Inuyasha that they were just grateful the Tenyo let them walk a property they claimed to be theirs yet was not theirs because that Tenyo decided it was hers? He felt confused, not to mention miserable for being smothered so much.

& nbsp; “Ha! Why are you all so afraid of a Tenyo? With all of your forces…” Inuyasha was not permitted to finish his sentence since Oyuki place her nice long slender forefinger at his lips.

& nbsp; “Now do not say nonsense.” She giggled as did the others.

& nbsp; Inuyasha did not know why, but for some odd reason he sensed fear from them. Everytime he tried to mention the possibilities of them taking out the Tenyo themselves they would just change the subject. Something was wrong with this picture. His train of thought were interrupted by the entrance of Sen, Akai and a child he had seen before.

& nbsp; “Look what I found!” Akai raised up Rin who could do nothing but smile. “I found her in Fluffy's room, all dirty. Is she not cute!”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru looked at his sisters who returned their gaze of amazement.

& nbsp; “Akai”, Renga began, “That child is human.”

& nbsp; “I know! She is sooooo cute! Sen and I decided to bathe her and dress her up!”

& nbsp; The other sisters gathered around the child, who felt overwhelmed by such attention. Inuyasha felt relieved yet he realized they had forgotten to bring the nice cold soothing water. He felt a tug and looked at Sesshoumaru who had his normal bored expression. Inuyasha did not know why, but he obeyed Sesshoumaru, who without saying a thing indicated to follow him. Then again, the desire to be away from those crazy women was comforting.

***

They were both sharing a nice hot tub feeling a bit out of it. Inuyasha felt ackward, normally at this time he would be with Kagome and the others, arguing most probable. He really missed her and wouldn't mind hearing her voice even if it is was to painfully order him to sit. But here he was, in a hot tub, naked and with his brother. The thought of water around them was not comforting. The last time he bathed he was forced and remained wet even after they had left Kaede's hut. He was lucky enough not to have a cold. Inuyasha's thoughts were random, considering there was a lot to think about especially his brother's loony sisters who by association were also his sisters. He could not shake the feeling of their fear towards the Tenyo and how Sesshoumaru was at the scene the moment of the incident.

& nbsp; “What gives?” Inuyasha could no longer stand the quiet. Sesshoumaru remained in silence with his eyes closed. “You of all people, you, you.” Inuyasha did not know how to express his anger partially because he knew it was his fault and the other part consisting in Sesshoumaru's calmness. “It was a waste of time to come here!” Inuyasha could not bear it anymore, he felt frustrated. “Why are you so calm? Why don't we just take out the Tenyo?”

& nbsp; “Or better yet”, Sesshoumaru interrupted, “Why do we not submerge ourselves and see who can hold their breath longer?”

& nbsp; The expression of Inuyasha's face was memorable as he suddenly held to the side of the tub ready to jump out. “You don't have to be so rash!”

& nbsp; “But I do Inuyasha. You have no idea what problem you have caused. Not even our father, a powerful Yokai King would have confronted a Tenyo. Then again you have always been nothing but trouble.”

& nbsp; “Ha! You are one to talk! The only reason you hate me is because I got Tetsusaiga and you don't!”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru flinched, it was true he wanted the sword, but there were other emotions and reasons involved that led to his dislike towards Inuyasha.

& nbsp; “Got you there, didn't I.” Inuyasha began to tease.

& nbsp; “Perhaps what bothers me is the idea that just as father, you have a weak spot for humans.”

& nbsp; “Oh yeah! You are one to talk! Who is the human girl that is with you? And don't give me crap about her being your servant because not even humans are worthy of serving you.”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru did not answer, which truly annoyed Inuyasha. “Well aren't you going to answer?”

& nbsp; Inuyasha felt Sesshoumaru's hand near his neck touching his necklace. “Do tell me what this is for? I saw it light up that day we were at the hill.”

& nbsp; Inuyasha sucked in his lips in embarrassment. He could not tell Sesshoumaru that the necklace was designed to command him when Kagome felt it necessary or when she was pissed off. The knowledge of this would have made Sesshoumaru's day.

& nbsp; “You answer my question, I will answer yours.”

& nbsp; Instead, Inuyasha slapped his hand away and distanced himself as much as the manacles would permit. Sesshoumaru slightly grinned and began to sponge himself. The moment was interrupted by Kaze.

& nbsp; “Fluffy, your clothes are ready!”

& nbsp; Now in Sesshoumaru's bedroom, the two would have to share a nice big bed, which was better than the last sleeping arrangement at Kaede's place. Inuyasha was a bit disappointed. His pants were nice and clean yet his under shirt and top had to be sewn back on since they were previously torn off just to take a bath. With that over with, he was ready to sink into bed until Sesshoumaru pulled slightly on the chains.

& nbsp; “I have a side I prefer to sleep on, cross it and you will end up on the floor.”

& nbsp; Inuyasha did not feel like answering back, he was too tired, so he agreed and they both went to sleep.

& nbsp; The next day, the sisters awaited for their brothers to have breakfast together. Gin was getting impatient wondering what was taking them so long. They finally entered, Sesshoumaru looking well rested and Inuyasha looking as if had been through hell.

& nbsp; “Well, it took you long enough.” Gin commented to them and gestured the brothers to sit for breakfast. Akai was next to Inuyasha, who had bags under his eyes.

& nbsp; “So, how was your sleep?” She was so enthusiastic that Inuyasha felt like hurting her.

& nbsp; “Well, the floors here are softer than that Miko's place!,” he barked.

& nbsp; “Oh”, She covered her ears, “So loud.”

& nbsp; “Did you not enjoy your rest?” Renga inquired.

& nbsp; “How could I? In the middle of the night he swung me over and I landed on the floor. I believe I left a dent, too.”

& nbsp; “I warned you not to cross over.” Sesshoumaru calmly answered.

& nbsp; “Well I wouldn't have the first time if you would have not suddenly woken me in the middle of the night just to take a PISS!”

& nbsp; The sisters gasped at Inuyasha's vulgar language. Gin maintained her composure, yet was not pleased.

& nbsp; “I grant you will be leaving today,” she directed her words calmly to Sesshoumaru, not changing her icy look.

& nbsp; “Indeed, we will, there is no reason to stay.”

& nbsp; Inuyasha dug in minding his own business. They could not help but watch his vulgar eating habits.

& nbsp; “Well then,” Gin continued, “Eat up and,” she could not help but feel disgusted by the sounds Inuyasha was making, “and be on your way… as soon as possible, please.”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru said nothing. He ate not minding the obnoxious sounds of Inuyasha's horrid table manners. He was lost in his own thoughts, mainly that he would kill Jaken as soon as he encounter him for leaving Rin at the palace.

***

The sister's waited until Gin gave her farewells to Sesshoumaru and retired into the palace to surround the brothers. They brought out Rin who had been hidden in Akai's room to avoid being seen by Gin.

& nbsp; “I played with her all night, until I dozed off out of exhaustion.” She placed Rin on the ground who gaily ran up to Sesshoumaru.

& nbsp; “Rin, did you cause trouble?”

& nbsp; “No Sesshoumaru -sama.”

& nbsp; “Really, she was no problem. It was nice dressing her up!” Kaze shared her appreciation for the child.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru said no more and turned to leave until he felt a jolt. When he turned, he saw his sisters surrounding Inuyasha once again in a ritual of torture. Inuyasha was trying to get through but found it impossible.

& nbsp; “Inuyasha!” The girls all stopped at hearing Sesshoumaru's angered tone. “Do not waste time, let's go.” He pulled Inuyasha separating him from the girls. They whined and called Sesshoumaru insensitive. As the brothers walked off, they yelled wishing them good luck.

& nbsp; “Fluffy, come back as soon as possible!” Said one sister, “And bring Inuyasha along too!” Added another. Once again they commenced their journey back to wherever they were going.

& nbsp; Not long after their parting, they met up with Jaken who awaited with Sesshoumaru's two headed beast.

& nbsp; “Sesshoumaru-sama, I am so glad to see you!” Jaken indeed was happy until he saw Inuyasha there. “Sesshoumaru-sama, does this mean your sisters could do nothing? Sesshoumaru-sama?”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru took out Tenseiga and sliced Jaken who cried in pain.

& nbsp; “What the hell are you doing?” Inuyasha was stunned.

& nbsp; After a few seconds the inflicted wound sealed itself up. Jaken, however, was shaken to the bone. Sesshoumaru hovered over him in an imposing manner that struck fear into the toad youkai.

& nbsp; “Never leave Rin again,” he warned.

& nbsp; “Forgive me Sesshoumaru-sama.” The Yokai toad begged at his master's feet.

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru as usual stepped on him, Inuyasha on the other hand avoided stepping on the toad.

& nbsp; “My beast will take us, Jaken, stay here with Rin.”

& nbsp; “Yes Sesshoumaru sama.”

& nbsp; “Wait, wait! You have not told me where we are going?” Inuyasha being as stubborn as usual refused to mount with his brother.

& nbsp; “Is it not obvious? We are going back to the temple and I will hear no further protest. I am not willing to remain bounded like this.”

& nbsp; “Yeah well if it is any consolation, the feeling is mutual!”

& nbsp; Sesshoumaru just glared at Inuyasha. He was beginning to lose his patience. Inuyasha reluctantly mounted in back of his brother. He did not know what to expect as soon as he got there but he could sense that same bad feeling he had days before.
