What I do own: The Story's plot. Ina. Sakura. Haru.

What DoomChild owns: Kurobara.

 

The weekend arrived too quickly for Ina's taste. She would have preferred more time to talk to her younger brother about it. But they had the whole weekend. So she was sure they'd have everything done by then. She walked out to her car. Seeing as how it was Friday afternoon, they'd all be carpooling. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Kuro [A/N: Kurobara's nickname is “Kuro”.] would leave their cars at the school and Ina would take care of driving them to her house.

 

Ina unlocked the car, opening her door as she waited for her crew to show up. Sesshomaru was first. He took shotgun. Kuro came next. She took the seat behind Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was last, taking the seat behind Ina. As soon as Ina got in, she turned on music. She knew that there was going to be trouble at the house over the weekend…

 

~Flashback~

 

Ina stretched as the doorbell rang. She opened the door.

“Are you Inuyami Sakura?”

“No I am not.” Ina looked over her shoulder. “MOM!!! DELIVERY MEN!!!” She shouted. Sakura came running from the kitchen and started to take care of the packages. Ina helped her mother set up the two bunk beds in her room. Seeing as how it was Wednesday, Ina grinned. “Shopping tomorrow for linens?”

“Of course! We'll get personalized ones. What colors do you think they like?”

“I'll ask them tomorrow.”

 

~End of Flashback~

 

Ina banged her head on the steering wheel as she drove into the route with the most traffic. She groaned. “Not…Again…”

“Hn.” Sesshomaru's normal.

“Feh.” Inuyasha's normal.

“Erg.” Ina's aggravated normal.

“…” Kuro's most talkative comment.

“Please…Get me a GPS navigator…For traffic…All I want…” Ina mumbled. She flipped through music channels and found a different one. “`Youkai Kon' Fan Channel, eh?” She asked herself. She listened to the announcer.

“Okay, next song is `Welcome to my Life' and I love this song and hope you do too!” The music started playing. Ina sang along.

 

“Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow, you just don't belong, and no one understands you? Do you ever wanna run away? Do you lock yourself in your room with the radio on turned up so loud that no one hears you screaming? No, you don't know what it's like when nothing feels alright. You don't know what it's like to be like me.

 

“To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark. To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you're being pushed around. To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you. No you don't know what it's like. Welcome to my life.” Sesshomaru had his elbow rested on the door and his cheek against his hand as he glanced at Ina from his peripheral vision. She was a very good singer, and he liked this song.

 

“Do you wanna be somebody else? Are you sick of feeling so left out? Are you desperate to find something more before your life is over? Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? With the big fake smiles and stupid lies, while deep inside you're bleeding? No you don't know what it's like when nothing feels alright. You don't know what it's like to be like me.

 

“To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark. To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you're being pushed around. To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you. No you don't know what it's like. Welcome to my life.

 

“No one ever lies straight to your face. And no one ever stabs you in the back. You might think I'm happy, but I'm not gonna be okay! Everybody always gave you what you wanted, never had to work-it was always there. You don't know what it's like-what it's like…” Ina's voice took on a sad tone, “…to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark. To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you're being pushed around…” Her voice took on the hard edge again. “…To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you. No you don't know what it's like-what it's like.”

 

Inuyasha and Kuro listened with mild interest. They were more interested in the traffic that was clearing up while Sesshomaru focused his attention on Ina. “To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark. To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you're being pushed around. To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you. No you don't know what it's like. Welcome to my life. Welcome to my life. Welcome to my life…”

 

As the song came to an end, Ina happily parked her car in the driveway. She got out and pulled out her backpack. She waited for everyone else to get out before locking the car. She walked in the house and stretched immediately. Haru hopped up from the couch. “Ina-Chan!!!”

“Hey-Haru-Chan! I'm gonna need your help tonight. This is Kurobara…Kuro-Chan. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha I'm sure you remember.”

 

Haru ran over and gave all of them a hug, causing a threatening glare to make its way to the small boy, courtesy of Sesshomaru. Ina pointed at the stairs. “Come with me, guys.”

 

~*~

 

Haru sat on Ina's bed, one of the top bunks, and drew while Kuro, Ina, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha discussed outfits. The descriptions for good outfits were about the equal of this:

 

Ina: A priestess outfit with a blue top and black bottom, showing the power of a head priestess. A sword at the side, the sword having a gold phoenix on one side of the blade, and a gold dragon on the other side. The dragon's tail would be visible on the hilt, the sheath being black. Face paint to place a green star on the forehead and purple slashes on the cheeks.

 

Kuro: A black guys' kimono, white on the trim. A collar with a bell on it and a staff with monk rings on it and a pointed tip. A small holster for shuriken to store and a black cat tail.

 

Sesshomaru: A white men's kimono with red hexagonal flower design on the left shoulder and sleeves. Black leather boots with a strap over the top. Face paint for a blue crescent moon and red slashes under each eye. A yellow and blue obi to be fitted over armor that only covers the torso, and has spikes on a metal strap over the left shoulder. Also, an off-white boa that represents a tail. One sword, a normal Katana with blue wrapping and gold end piece. Always in the black sheath. A second sword not in its sheath with red wrapping and gold spiral end.

 

Inuyasha: A red guys' kimono that's not fancy with the string bow. Dog ears and a sword that's old and nicked at the edges. Sword transforms into a large fang with fur on the end.

 

Haru grinned during the explanations and hopped down from the top bunk, handing the drawings to Ina. They were pictures of the costumes with measurements of the amount of fabric and what type of fabric they needed. Ina hugged her brother. “Thank you so much, my little brother!”

 

Haru squirmed. “You need more costumes, then come to me!” He dashed out the door to escape the hugs and left the drawings behind. Ina and Kuro giggled before looking over the drawings. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha picked up the drawings and looked at their own. Ina stretched again. “Tomorrow we're going to the fabric shop. Then, over the week, my family will work on sewing up the outfits. And we'll figure out who we need and start on the scripts tomorrow and Sunday.”

“Feh. Who said you were going to be team captain?”

“Onigumo-San did, half-breed. And I would suggest you close that mouth of yours and listen to her. She and I got the best grades out of the class.”

“…The teacher appointed a girl who knows nothing of fighting as team captain?”

 

Ina had endured enough. She kicked Inuyasha in the face, sending him flying into the closet since the door was open. Inuyasha kept his mouth shut for the rest of the night.

 

~*~

 

Ina had the list of what they needed. She had made sure everyone would stay together by putting Inuyasha on a leash and giving the leash to Sesshomaru. Since it was a chain collar, Sesshomaru kept choking Inuyasha for a few seconds then letting him go.

 

Ina took everyone's opinions on exact shades before buying the amounts needed. The person who cut the fabric looked up at them. “Is this a new sewing circle or something?”

“Nah. We're making wonderful costumes.”

“Ah! I hope they turn out well,” she ended.

“Thanks, ma'am.” Ina wrote a check and walked out with everyone carrying the materials they needed. Sesshomaru was still having fun with choking Inuyasha, who was trying to get the collar off.

 

Ina took the collar off Inuyasha as soon as he was in the car. She flipped open her cell phone because she felt it vibrating. “Moshi moshi.”

“Yo! Ina!”

“Ban-Chan! How the hell are ya'?!”

“I'm great. Listen, we set up a concert for tonight. It's in Okimawa, the Zenku camp. You know where that is?”

“Yeah, I do but I'm sorta busy…”

“What?!”

“I have some friends over for a school project.”

“Then bring them along!” Bankotsu shouted, “We can help you all out! We miss you!”

“Fine, fine. What time does it start so I can get there an hour in advance?”

“Well…It seems like it's around 7:00. How's that?”

“Alright. 6:00 I'll be there.”

“Thanks! See ya'!” Bankotsu hung up. Ina sighed. “Guys, we have a concert to go to tonight. And I've got some costume to wear because of the album.”

 

~*~

 

Ina had been thinking back on the day that she, her mother, and Haru went to Yanburu. She was not used to such a large facility.

 

~Flashback~

 

Ina opened her eyes as the car stopped, seeing that her mom had parked in a parking lot for the Yanburu Nature Facility. The Taisho and Inuyami families had carpooled, Ina sitting on Sesshomaru's lap so that there was room. His embrace was so comfortable, although it was not affectionate. She had fallen asleep on his lap and woke up whenever the car stopped.

 

Ina climbed out, Sesshomaru right behind her. She looked up at the large building and waited for her mom and Haru before walking toward it. The Taisho family followed. Ina continued looking at Sesshomaru nervously throughout the whole tour.

 

~End Flashback~

 

Ina looked at Sesshomaru sideways in silence. He glanced at her and she blushed, looking away. Sesshomaru's amber gaze returned to the window. He was also remembering something, but he could not tell what.

 

~Flashback~

 

Sesshomaru thrusted hard and deep into Ina, her black hair contracting perfectly with the white silk of the sheets. Her moans were pushing him close the edge. His head moved to Ina's neck.

 

~End Flashback~

 

Sesshomaru barely held back a groan as the music turned on and ripped him from the wonderful sensation that he had nearly gotten to. He glared at Ina slightly before realizing that she looked extremely tired. His gaze softened. He didn't say anything-he'd have hell to pay due to his half-breed brother in the back seat-but he gave her a concerned look.

 

Ina glanced at Sesshomaru and smiled soothingly at him. She knew he had caught how tired she was and she also knew that she'd need a nap. As soon as she got into the driveway, she turned off the car. She got out and collapsed. Sesshomaru found himself using his blur speed to catch her silently. Ina looked up at him and nodded her thanks. Sesshomaru nodded back in acknowledgement and picked her up, carrying her inside. That left Inuyasha and Kuro to blink.

 

~*~

 

Sesshomaru sat in the front row, waiting for everything to quiet down before the concert. Kuro, Haru, Sakura, and Inuyasha were all to his side. Equalizers started to play some music, Ina and seven others getting onto the stage while it went through its part. Mukotsu, wearing white robes, started to go through a drum part with the equalizers, giving Ina time to set up before the guitars came in. A bottle of water sat next to her while the audience cheered.

 

Ina finished adjusting the microphone that was attached to her head and began her song. “I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard. Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars. I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel. But it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you to just believe this is real.

 

“So I let go, watching you turn your back like you always do. Face away and pretend that I'm not. But I'll be here `cause you're all that I've got.” With that, Ina turned her back on the other members of the band to drink some of her water. The rest of the band continued in a death scream type of tone, “I can't feel the way I did before! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored! Time won't heal this damage anymore! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored!”

 

As the other part of the band turned their backs on Ina, Ina continued. “I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident `cause you don't understand I'd do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense. I am what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt. It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out.

 

“So I let go, watching you turn your back like you always do. Face away and pretend that I'm not. But I'll be here `cause you're all that I've got.” Ina turned her back again, the rest of the band continuing, “I can't feel the way I did before! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored! Time won't heal this damage anymore! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored!”

 

Shivers filled Ina as she heard them continue, slowly turning to listen. “NO!!! Hear me out now! You're gonna listen to me like it or not RIGHT NOW! Hear me out now! You're gonna listen to me like it or not RIGHT NOW!”

 

Ina started her part with her normal voice. “I can't feel the way I did before.” The others started to turn around. “Don't turn your back on me!”

“I WON'T BE IGNORED!!!” The shout echoed. Ina and the band, together, shouted their lines. “I can't feel the way I did before! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored! Time won't heal this damage anymore! Don't turn your back on me; I won't be ignored!”

 

“I can't feel…Don't turn your back on me! I won't be ignored! Time won't heal…Don't turn your back on me! I won't be ignored!” As the last lines ended, the applause made Ina feel very much refreshed. Then again, the earlier nap also helped…

 

~*~

 

As soon as Ina got into her room, she crawled into her top bunk. She curled up and suddenly felt warmth enclose her. She looked over her shoulder sleepily at Sesshomaru, who nodded for her to sleep. Ina yawned deeply and fell asleep, Kuro and Inuyasha not even in the room yet.

 

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and curled up, hiding Ina from Inuyasha and Kuro. He nuzzled his nose into her neck to be able to smell her scent as he slept.

 

Dreams weaved throughout Ina's mind. They were laden with her and Sesshomaru in the most loving of moments, in the costumes they had designed for the movie. A few of them entitled kissing, some even more. Then there was just waking, with Sesshomaru's secure arms around her.

 

~*~

 

Ina yawned as she awoke. She felt strong arms wrapped around her and warm breath on her neck. The breathing was slow, even, suggesting that whoever held her was asleep. She sniffed slightly, her sense of smell telling her that it was Sesshomaru. She smiled as she heard him release a very quiet snore. Listening to his slow heartbeat, she dozed off for a minute, coming to when his breathing sped up and his hand traveled down to her thigh.

 

As Ina tried to get his hand off, a possessive growl rang in her ear, warning her against movement. So there she lay, waiting for Sesshomaru to be content with letting go of her. Sesshomaru sat up and got out of the bed, running his fingers through his hair the second his feet touched the ground from the small drop. Ina was blushing slightly as she also dropped down. Kuro and Inuyasha were still fast asleep.

 

Sesshomaru walked out of the room, Ina grabbed the stuff for sewing and followed him. Within the few hours it took for Inuyasha and Kuro to come down, Ina had already finished her outfit, Haru had finished Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's, while Sakura had finished hers, Haru's, and Kuro's. They had started the script so that it would show the past of all characters.
