Within three hours, everyone was getting a little tipsy from the saki, except for Sesshoumaru. Being a full youkai meant he had to drink a whole lot more to get that kind of buzz. Rin was getting sleepy, and he had Jaken take her on to bed. Shippo was still wide awake and running, making everyone laugh by transforming back and forth to funny shapes and animals. These tricks usually weren't all that funny, but with the added drink, everyone was having a hell of a time. Sesshoumaru had come down from the dias to sit on the same level as everyone else, a very symbolic act considering everything. He rested his elbow on it. The girls were leaning on each other giggling like school girls, while Inuyasha and Miroku took to leaning up against the wall for support.

 

“Remember the time we were attacked by those fake Kagome and Inuyasha?” Shippo asked, laughing. “Kagome told it to sit, and it wouldn't!” Everyone laughed except for Sesshoumaru, who simply kept a warm grin on his face. “Oh yeah,” Inuyasha replied. “She thought the damn thing had beads of submission on them”. He lifted the front of his necklace jiggling it around.

 

Sesshoumaru was collecting information more than he was having a pleasant time.

 

“And then there was the time Inuyasha pushed Kagome down the Bone Eaters Well...boy was she pissed!” one of them said. “You got a big old “sit” out of that one!” Shippo replied.

 

“You should see him at my house,” Kagome said to Sango. “My mother just loves to play with his ears!” Kagome pointed to Inuyasha and just giggled up a storm.

 

“Keh” the inu said, blushing furiously. Sesshoumaru thought that one particularly funny. A human playing with a hanyou's ears was a funny picture in his mind. “Yeah, well you get all stupid acting around your girlfriends and that guy Hojo.”

 

“Hojo?” Sango asked, looking to her good friend. “Who's Hojo?”

 

“Oh my gawd,” Kagome said. “He's this guy, from my school, and he has this really big crush on me and every time I see him, I just can't tell him to leave me alone. He always has some kind of weird herbal remedies for me because I have to lie and tell him I am sick all the time.”

 

“Yeah, she has to take all these stupid things called tests at her school,” Inuyasha said, slurping up another cup of saki. “I think she should just fuck school and come live here with me instead.”

 

The whole room got really quiet all of a sudden. The two girls looked at each other, Inuyasha looked at them, Miroku looked at Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru looked at all of them. The dynamics were fascinating.

 

“Oh my gods,” Kagome said to Sango so incredibly loud because she was drunk. “Did you just hear what he said?” Sango nodded merrily. “I think so.”

 

“I said I think you aught to come live with me, here in my time, instead of going back to the future all the fucking time,” Inuyasha clarified, crawling over to Kagome to look her in the eyes. “Did you hear me wench?”

 

“Sit!” Kagome giggled, rolling backwards and swinging forward until she was on her own hands and knees crawling towards him. She pulled his hair away from his face and looked down to meet his eyes.

 

“Ask me tomorrow when we aren't drunk as skunks o.k? 'Cause I know tonight I would say o.k., but tomorrow I might disagree with you.” She kissed his forehead and fell to the side, laughing and giggling. Sesshoumaru was quick to note the references to “the future”. He would have to investigate that further in due time.

 

Inuyasha grumbling got back up and planted a kiss on Kagome's lips then quickly passed out stretched out on the matted floor. Everyone applauded, thinking “yeah, he finally did it!” Sesshoumaru realized it was time to put everyone to bed before he would have to deal with questions of everyone's honor. Akanesuji would not approve of Sesshoumaru leaving the ladies to be taken advantage of while drunk and it was best to separate them all. Leaving Inuyasha and the drunk monk on the floor, he pulled Kagome and Sango up and escorted them to the women's wing for the night where they passed out quickly in their beds, snickering and giggling softly.

 

In the morning, the young men woke up to the sounds of Rin and Shippo tearing through the building playing chase. Their backs were sore from sleeping in weird positions. It wasn't the hard floors, they were used that, it was waking up with a saki bottle under their shoulder or their head cocked to one side. Miroku scratched his head and rubbed his eyes. Inuyasha ran out with the strong urge to use the bathroom.

 

Standing on a wall, he relieved himself, not knowing that Kagome was watching out the window. She turned to Sango. “What am I going to do? Do you think he will remember what he asked me last night?” She was nervous and anxious. “I cant just stay here all the time. I....I....”

 

“He was pretty drunk last night. He drank more than all of us combined,” the slayer said. “He probably won't remember a thing.” The two girls held hands for a second, comforting each other.

 

“I saw how Miroku was looking at you,” Kagome said. “I think he is smitten with you.” Her friend blushed deeply.

 

“He's smitten with anything that has a crotch and walks.” The two girls laughed. “What are we going to do Kagome? Inuyasha loves you, but Miroku just lusts after me.”

 

“Oh Sango. I think Inuyasha just lusts after me too. He says he wants me to stay here, but I don't think he really meant it. He's so frustrating. He doesn't treat me like he wants me here.” The two girls nodded at each other in deep understanding. Their men did not love them nearly as deeply as they loved them in return.

 

Kagome started to giggle a little. “Lust isn't so bad though you know? They are awfully handsome.” She pushed at her friend a little. “.. and then there is Sesshoumaru. Now him...he is handsome,” Sango replied.

 

“Yeah.” Kagome said dreamily. “But so taken.”

 

“Yeah.” Sango said, matching that dreamy state. “Why are all the good ones taken already?”

 

“He is so intelligent.”

 

“And he has that....personal power about him.”

 

“And his eyes..”

 

“No,” the other girl said. “It's his walk.”

 

“The way he carries himself.”

 

“Oh yeah. It's so...regal.”

 

“Yes...regal.”

 

The two girls looked at each other and giggled. “Let's get breakfast and leave here soon. I don't think I would last in his presence very long.” The other girl nodded and agreed in her assessment. He may be a married man, but this was feudal Japan and lovers, concubines and multiple wives were an every day occurrence. Anyone who could afford a lover and wanted one, had one. Youkai were even worse about it than humans, as they lived from even older rules and customs.

 

Putting on their old clothes, the girls packed their things and set them by the door. Finding everyone once again sitting in the meeting room, this time, much more casually, the girls took their places on the floor. Jaken was serving rice cakes to Rin and the young men. Shippo and Rin sat next to each other tightly, little ceramic animal figures scattered all around from playing “farm”. Sesshoumaru sat quietly sipping tea from a medium sized bowl while Inuyasha and Miroku sat not far from where they woke up, both looking like death warmed over.

 

“Good morning everyone!” Kagome declared too cheerfully. Sesshoumaru simply nodded, and the boys just grunted. Rin smiled really big as Shippo got up and sat in Kagome's lap for a hug. Taking the cue, Rin did the same, curling into the youkai's lap with her cake. The scene was not lost on the companions. They had never seen Sesshoumaru and Rin so cute together. Sesshoumaru pretended nothing was amiss.

 

“Rin has asked that you take the furisodes with you as gifts, along with the hair combs and other accessories.” the elder brother informed them. “She would also ask that you come back to visit again during the winter months when we are here so that she may play with Shippo.”

 

“You are not here in the Summer?” Inuyasha asked, a little confused.

 

“No, that is when we go adventuring. Remember, I hate court. Court hates me?”

 

“Oh yeah.” The inu scratched his head. “I don't remember a lot from last night. It must have been a heck of a party.”

 

Kagome looked at him with disbelief and shook her head. “What did I do?” Inuyasha asked gruffly.

 

Everyone looked around the room to avoid that question, even Sesshoumaru. “Nothing serious,” Kagome answered, turning back to her breakfast.

 

“Anyway,” Sesshoumaru added to help poor Kagome change the subject. He could see her heart was a little broken. Boy was his brother daft. “Rin and I stay here where it is warm during the winter. It is better for her health.”

 

“Yeah, I can see that,” Kagome said. “I don't like being out much in the cold either. But evil demons are evil demons and there is always work to do.” Everyone nodded to that one.

 

“What does your mother think of you demon slaying at such a young age Kagome?” Sesshoumaru asked, curious to know more about her background. If things went well in Inuyasha's favor, this may very well be his sister-in-law some day. The girl was pretty and very sweet in an innocent sort of way. Kagome swallowed hard. “She doesn't exactly know what all I do.”

 

“She doesn't mind you gallivanting through the countryside with two young men?”

 

“She doesn't really understand all that either. She thinks I am with Kaede a lot.” Kagome blushed.

 

“Sango, Kagome, you should really consider protecting your honor a little better, no offense meant.”

 

“Hey! I wouldn't hurt Kagome's honor!” Inuyasha protested. Everyone gave him an evil eye to shut up and he gave a “feh,” turning his head away.

 

“It's just that if you two were my daughters, I would worry that you would come home...with child before marriage.” Sesshoumaru felt a little old then, and a bit too responsible. A year or two ago he would have happily fucked these girls just the same as looking at them. Being a father was really changing his outlook on life.

 

“Oh I don't think you have to worry about that,” Kagome replied proudly. “Every time Inuyasha gets some stupid idea in his head, I just make him sit.”

 

“And if Miroku gets some dumb idea in his head,” the gentle Sango said, “I just smack his face. I think I can take care of him.”

 

“Smack his face often?” Sesshoumaru asked, a small quirky smile on his lips.

 

Miroku blushed that time, Shippo nodded his head silently up and down to the elder inu. “Let me know if you ever need assistance. I will not have my brother and his compatriot acting like fools.”

 

Inuyasha and Miroku did not find that funny at all while the girls laughed merrily. It was kinda nice to know they had Sesshoumaru on their side. Obviously he still did not like his brother, but he did like the pleasant Kagome and Sango well enough. Indeed they were cherry blossoms to be cherished, blooming briefly...so beautifully.

 

“I hope you find Akanesuji, Sesshoumaru-sama.” Sango said as they said their good byes. “I hope so too,” said Kagome. Sesshoumaru only nodded in his usual, serious manner. Rin and Shippo hugged like children do before the little kitsune climbed on Kirara's back. Waving from the air, the group watched the palace grow smaller and smaller as she climbed into the air.

 

“Your brother is actually kind of nice,” Kagome said to Inuyasha on the way home.

 

“Keh,” was all he said. Noncommittal shit....just like his brother.
