InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Unspoken Fantasies ❯ Fantasy5-A Better Tomorrow ( Chapter 5 )

“Hey do you guys have a flashlight?” Rin asked as she walked in the game room with a satisfied Sesshoumaru close behind. Rin was wearing one of Sesshoumaru's shirts and a pair of pants he hadn't worn in years, and it was all still too big.

“I told you not to take the motorcycle…” Kagome started.

“Urgh, not you too…” Rin said rolling her eyes. “The phone line is out and our cell phones aren't giving out any signals because of the storm. Your fuse box is in the basement, right?” Rin said as she stole one of the candles and lit it by using another.

“Yeah, it is right at the bottom of the stairs. This is just like that horror movie I was watching. But I just can't remember why…” Inu Yasha said.

“Maybe because many horror movies start out in a big house during a storm…” Sesshoumaru stated giving his baby brother `The Look'. So they sat there growling and working on a staring contest while Kagome and Rin just left them there.

“How long do you think it will take them to notice we are gone?” Rin asked.

“That can go from seconds to hours, it depends on who stands down first and normally that is Inu Yasha.” Kagome said stifling a giggle.

“The entrance to the basement is on the other side of the house.” Rin said as lightening cracked over their heads. “And as soon as we get the power back up we need to find a way to contact your dad because we might be stuck here for awhile.”

Kagome almost did her happy dance. Any minute spent away from home was always one of the greatest moments in her life. “I think the first person I'm gonna call is Sango though. I have to make sure Souta is okay first.”

“Ah Souta, so how is the little rug-rat?” Rin asked with a smile.

“Quiet, but hey, that's nothing new. I thought I saw him smiling more when he found out you were coming to town but I think that is because you were teaching him sign language.” Kagome said as they opened the door to the basement.

“He's been teaching Kohaku and me what he knows which has been good. I love it that he is finally communicating. I hated it when he stopped talking. I love my little brother and it drives me insane when I think I can't help him.” Kagome said with a sad look in her eyes as she cut the lights back on.

“I can teach you too… When my mom started to lose her hearing she learned it as a type of precaution. But after that surgery she could hear a penny drop 5 miles away!” Rin said with a slight laugh. “It is very easy to pick up though. The way I taught it to Souta was I just signed everything I said. At first he just picked up words and you saw him start with the phrases.” Rin said signing what she said to Kagome.

“Is this `Souta'?” Kagome asked as she quickly tried to imitate Rin's hand movements.

“Yeah but that is just the s-o-u. Here's how to do the t-a.” Rin said going over it slowly for Kagome. Kagome smiled as she got it.

“So, where did you get that lovely outfit that I would swear up and down that I have never seen you in?” Kagome said looking Rin over in the light.

“Um… I… Sesshoumaru gave it to me because I was soaked from riding on the motorcycle.” Rin said with a light blush.

“Really what happened in between that?” Kagome asked raising an eyebrow.

“Probably nothing similar to what you and Inu Yasha where doing on the floor before Sesshoumaru and I walked in.” Rin said making Kagome blush.

“I have no idea what you're talking about…”

“That's odd because neither do I… You know what Kagome?” Rin said with a smile as she pulled her cousin down the hallway.

“What is it Rin?”

“I have a feeling that one day we will look back on all of this, smile weakly and change the subject.” Rin said thoughtfully.

“I believe you are right.” Kagome responded as they walked back into the game room that still held Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru's giant staring competition.

“Do you think they noticed we left and that the lights are back on?” Kagome asked Rin.

“No, probably not.” Rin said quite matter-of-factly.

“The lights are back on.” Inu Yasha muttered.

“Does that mean you are admitting defeat?” Sesshoumaru asked.

“Not on your life.” Inu Yasha stated as her cracked his knuckles.

“How about on yours then?” Sesshoumaru growled out as he did the same.

“Okay you two; let's not spill blood all over the floor.” Kagome said while pulling Inu Yasha up by the arm.

“Yeah Sesshoumaru blood stains kill good carpet. So you two kiss and make up!” Rin said all too giddy.

“What have you been sniffing?” Sesshoumaru said in a low voice.

“Damn it Rin maybe you should find you mind. I think you lost it.” Inu Yasha said quite loudly.

Rin's left eye began to twitch and suddenly it seemed as though Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha had shrunk. In Rin's hand there was a butcher knife and she smiled evilly at them. “Puppy soup sounds good to me and the other people yelling loudly in my head. I told them to stop talking so loud but they can't seem to keep it down. You two will make fine trophies over my fire place that is unless you make up now!” Rin said her eyes shaking in her skull.

Inu Yasha's mouth dropped as in his mind Rin's head spun all the way around. He looked like he was going to piss in his pants. And even though Sesshoumaru's expression had not changed his skin tone had go a good ten shades lighter.

“Sorry.” They both said at the same time.

“Good, I really didn't expect that to work but I guess I can be quite persuasive.” Rin said suddenly as the world seemed to grow back to its regular size. “Now since that is over, who wants to go to the kitchen and make a cheese cake?” Rin said happily.

“Me!” Kagome said happily not at all shocked by Inu Yasha and Sesshoumaru's reaction to Rin's crazy spontaneous outburst. After all, cheesecake was her favorite dessert.

“Great then let's go!” Rin half yelled as she and Kagome skipped happily out of the game room.

“Dude, your girlfriend is psychotic.” Inu Yasha said snapping back into reality.

“I know.”

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome flinched as her father reached to rub her cheek attempting to show fake affection. Rin stood right behind Kagome and smiled. She had been to busy looking around to see how Kagome had reacted to her father. “I was worried about my little girl. Why didn't you call to tell me you would be late from the airport?”

“The lines were down oto-san.” Kagome said moving away from him as quickly as she could. She silently pushed Souta upstairs and looked at her father with a bit of fear in her eyes.

“It's okay Kagome.” He said then he turned his attention to Rin. “And Rin how was Africa and you went through Europe too correct?”

“Yes that's right we went through France, Italy and Spain last Christmas. And Africa was great as normal; after all it is my home.” Rin said with a beautiful smile that Kagome wished she had the courage to show around her father.

“Well I hope our little home can make up for Africa for the next year.” Kagome's father said looking perversely at his young niece as she turned around and bent over to grab some of her bags.

Rin was curvy for a 16 year old and not to mention she was built. Her skin was also a nicely tanned bronze color that went nicely with her sun burnt hair. And beauty showed and she flaunted it. Rin loved the way she looked and when you looked into her eyes or glanced at her smile you could tell this was a very healthy and happy child.

Kagome noticed the look and quickly gathered the rest of Rin's bags. “Come on Rin you're sleeping in the room that connects with mine by a bathroom.” Kagome said pushing Rin up the stairs the same way she had done Souta.

As Rin unpacked her things in the room Kagome wondered into Souta's room. He was sitting on his bed reading a book and looked up at her. He placed the book down on his bed and walked up to Kagome. `Are you okay?' He signed at her very slowly to make sure she understood him.

“I don't know Souta, I really don't know and it scares me.” Kagome responded.

Souta hugged his sister tightly but not to tight. She was always trying to look out for everyone else but herself. When they were younger, even thought they fought a lot he could always count on her.

“Are you hungry? I grabbed a little something from Inu Yasha's house. It's only leftovers but Inu Yasha said take as much as we would like.” Kagome said looking though a big messenger bag that Rin had gotten her from Spain. She handed him a Ziploc container.

Souta smiled at her and went over to the small microwave that was hidden in his room. After about a minute the boy sat on his bed and ate the food. “Wash it out good and hide it under the bathroom sink. Rin might be here but he'll probably lock us up with out food any chance he gets. And do you need anymore canned or dried food? I can go back to the store tomorrow.” Kagome said looking back at her little brother.

Souta gave her a `don't worry about it' look and playfully pushed her out of the room. Kagome smiled maybe this last year in this house would be okay. As long as she didn't do anything stupid and she could keep Rin away from her father it would all be okay.

 

Okay that's this chapter it is done. Did you guys know that I got a cell phone? And I got a credit card and my mom has gone completely insane? Just thought I should inform everyone. Did anyone like this chapter? Is anyone still reading this? Good, because it doesn't matter because in between A.T.T.I.C and Not my Fault I'm constantly working on this story. So, if you don't read it oh well, it will just be a waste of space on ff… and no one really cares. But on the off chance that you do care review, call me foul names and make yourself happy. Have a great day… and 9 more days until my birthday in which I will do nothing but sleep…
