Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Family ties ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha or YYH. I only own the plot to this story.

 

A/N: Because FF.net was being stupid I had to alter the symbols of Youko and Kurama, when they have mental conversations. Also, note the change for when the scenes/point of view change. Thank you for reading.

Kagome clapped her hands together in front of her gathering the attentions of the awaiting males.

“Kurama, if you would please, join me up here.”

 

Kurama stiffened slightly but got up non-the-less and stood in front of the perplexing woman. He stood up straight as though it was boot camp. Kagome began to circle around him, nodding her head every once and a while.

 

Kagome finally stopped circling the man and turned him around to face Yuusuke and Hiei.

“Pay attention Yuusuke, this is really for you. I've noticed your posture, and to tell the truth; it gets on my nerves. You're always slouching over. Now,” Kagome held out her right hand to bring attention to the still man at her side. “Kurama has beautiful posture. That means he carries himself well. What I want to teach you Yuusuke, is to stand up, sit down, and all together, be a slightly better postured person. Then I'm sure you could have more girlfriends-”

 

“Hey! I don't have a girlfriend BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ONE! NOT because I SLOUCH! And where do you get that I slouch?!”

 

Kagome blinked then looked to Kurama.

 

“Yuusuke, I'm afraid she's right. You do tend to slouch, when standing, sitting, and walking. It isn't very appealing.”

 

“Oh what do you know Kurama!?”

 

Kagome took this moment to step in. “Now, now Yuusuke. Calm down. That's something else I would like to work on. While I stayed with Sesshomaru, I was taught the proper etiquette. Now, I admit, it is one of my pet peeves.” Kagome walked calmly up to her cousin and motioned for him to stand. “Think of it this way Yuusuke. The sooner you learn to walk, sit, and stand straight, the sooner we can leave and go about our lives. But I'm sure one day I'll be eating in the same room with you and throw-up because of your manners.”

 

Though her entire small speech, she never once smiled. Her face stayed blank. It disturbed all three in some way.

 

“But why only me? Why does Hiei get to stand back there and do nothing?! He slumps too!”

 

Kagome sighed some and walked over to said demon, motioning for him to stop leaning against the wall. Hiei complied with her request.

“If you haven't noticed, Yuusuke, Hiei here, stands straight, walks up right, and sits with his back straight. He is leaning against a wall here, and there for his back will curve slightly. Your back, Yuusuke, seems to always be in a curve.”

 

Kagome walked up behind her cousin and stood at his side, facing him. Placing one hand on his upper chest and one of his lower back she pushed both in at the same time. Cracks could be heard from the joints popping, followed by groan from Yuusuke.

 

“Feel better?”

 

Yuusuke nodded to his cousin and moved around a bit, more joints popping.

 

“That is another reason for you to stand up straight. Your joints, and not to mention I bet you can breath slightly better. Am I right dear cousin?”

 

Yuusuke took a deep breath and exhaled. “Hey, I can breath better.”

 

Kagome smiled warmly at him and took her hands away from his body. She walked over to her stereo and CDs. Grabbing around three CD cases she walked back to Yuusuke and placed them on his head.

 

“Now, to walk straight. And know this Yuusuke, for every one of these CD cases that falls to the floor, I get to break something of yours. Could be a body part, or it could be something that wont heal. And you won't go to the hospital either, because I can heal you; but when I break a finger, it will hurt like hell. That I can assure you.”

 

Yuusuke stared, wide eyed at his cousin. Seeing no hint of lying pass her face, he knew she was serious.

 

Kagome placed the CD cases on his head and both Kurama and Hiei felt for him; there was no way he could walk with those on his head not dropping one. Yuusuke gulped and started to walk. The first few steps went well, but without him knowing it, a case dropped to the ground. Yuusuke's eyes widened to that of headlights.

 

“Keep walking.”

 

Yuusuke did as told. Another fell. He stopped dead in his tracks.

 

“Keep walking. I didn't tell you to stop.”

 

Yuusuke took another step. The third and final one feel to the floor.

`Oh no……'

 

“You know Yuusuke. I thought you would at least get a third of the room crossed before I would have to break your fingers. You took seven steps.”

 

Kagome reached for his hand, quicker then the eye could see, and broke three of his fingers, all with a defining crunch.

 

Yuusuke was on the floor clutching his hand in pain. “HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU DO THAT KAGOME?! I'M YOUR FUCKING COUSIN!”

 

“Do you think that matters? I've killed people for less. Living over 500 years Yuusuke, you begin to see things differently. Family can mean so many things. I love you Yuusuke. You are family. But that doesn't mean that if I had too, I wouldn't hesitate to cut your very head off. Know that now dear cousin.” Kagome's face was cold. No emotion showed in those beautiful eyes of hers.

“Give me your hand.”

 

Yuusuke hesitated.

 

“Do you want me to heal your hand or not?”

 

Yuusuke held his left hand out for her. Kagome took it roughly into her smaller one and soon, a pink light enveloped both their hands. His hand was healed in mere minuets.

 

“I think that's enough for today. Now if you would all kindly leave me to tend to things here It would be much appreciated.”

 

Yuusuke left in a hurry, Hiei following out soon after.

 

Kurama stayed behind, he needed to talk to Kagome alone.

222222222222222222

 

Kagome walked over to Kurama, wondering why someone like him would stay behind with someone who just broke three fingers of someone in their own family. Kagome walked past him with the slightly damaged CD cases in her hands. She bent over slightly to place them by her CD player and was quickly wrapped in the warm embrace of Kurama.

 

Her heart beat quickened and a blush found it's way to her cheeks. His arms were wrapped around her waist, the thumbs making small circles on her clothed stomach. Why was he doing this? Why was it effecting her so?

 

She turned around in his arms and looked into his eyes for the answers she so desperately sought. She wasn't able to read the young man's eyes like she was able to so many others. But they held warmth and comfort for her. She laid her head against the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent. It was nice.

 

Roses and pine.

 

It calmed her instantly. She hadn't realized that she was so tense. Placing her arms softly on his shoulders she lifted her head and looked into green eyes, she noticed that flakes of gold were starting to come to the surface. `I think Youko is trying to come out….'

 

A gust of wind came from the open door, it blew around her long raven strands of hair, as it did the same with Kurama's red ones. It also brought a strong aura with it. They would be having visitors tomorrow. But for tonight, Kagome took refuge in the warm arms of this person she barely knew. It felt good to be held this way again. The last time she was held like this, it was far too long.

 

She wrapped her arms around Kurama's neck as he picked her up bridal style, and he carried her out of the dimming light of the room so recently occupied and took her to the room prepared for her; Kurama knew that her old room needed to be dusted and new sheets put on her bed. She would be staying in the one next to his.

 

(As it should be. It would be better if it were the same room. Better yet! The same bed!)

 

Kurama chose to ignore his more lecherous half and concentrate on the girl in his arms. She had fallen asleep. She looked peaceful and so innocent. Had he not seen for himself the things she was willing to do, he would have thought it impossible for her to do such things.

 

As he laid her onto the bed she would be using for a few days. He could hear Kuwabara in his room still playing with the cat, Souta upstairs in his room listening to music as he slept, and Yuusuke in his room cursing Kagome to high heaven. The only one he couldn't hear was the one person he would have liked to speak with at that moment. Hiei.

 

He always seemed to disappear when Kurama needed to talk to someone other then Youko. Just his luck right?

 

He looked down at the sleeping girl. With every breath she took her chest would rise and fall. Stroking her cheek ever so gently, he began to wonder things. But at the front most of his mind one question stood above them all.

 

Why did she entice him so? She did it with out even knowing it. And he wanted her for that as well. For every move she made, it made him want her all the more. In such a short amount of time, she had captured him in a cage, and could do just about anything to him that she wanted. Total control. And she didn't know it.

 

He stood there and watched her sleep. He didn't want to miss anything she did. But while he was watching her, a pair of blood red eyes watched him.

222222222222222222

 

When Kagome dismissed them, like he needed to be dismissed by a woman, he left. He wouldn't return that night. He had….other plans to take care of. First and for most, he needed to make sure his sister was doing well. The next thing on his list would be to go ask Koenma a few questions about a certain girl who just walked into their lives.

222222222222222222

 

Kagome slept well. She dreamt about Kouga, Shippo, InuYasha, Rin, and Sesshomaru. The life they led together uninterrupted. Of her golden days before she had to become so strong and serious. When her Shippo was young and needed his mother still. Those were her happy times.

 

A smile graced her lips in the reality outside her dreams. While she slept in blissful happiness, a silent war was being waged in her living room. Far too much testosterone, and all but a handful of males in the room had one goal in mind.

 

Kagome.

2222222222222222

 

Kagome woke. Looking at the room briefly, she found a clock on the wall. 11:17 am.

She groaned and stumbled out of the bed. She barely made it to the door when someone burst though it, successfully knocking Kagome flat on her round rear. She let an aggravated sigh escape her lips and she just gave up and fell back onto the cool inviting floor. Opening her eyes they landed on the intruder. It was non-other then her brother, Souta.

 

“What in God's name do you want Souta? I still need a bath and coffee before I even remotely wake up.”

 

“Can you walk right?”

 

Kagome shook her head no. “Don't bet on it.”

 

Souta sighed and walked over to where her head lay. Grabbing her arms he pulled her body out of the room and down the hallway, past the bathroom, past the kitchen, and into the living room.

 

“Make them stop.”

 

With that Souta left to get his sister a cup of coffee.

 

Kagome sat up and looked around the room. Groaning she fell backwards expecting to land on the nice cool floor, but was caught off guard when warm slender arms pulled her up and sat her in their lap. She didn't even have to open her eyes to know who it was. She just relaxed against the chest and sighed happily.

 

“Why did you never come for me, Sesshomaru?”

 

“Well I'm sure after 450 years to rule as you pleased, which you gave up after 250, I thought you would have figured that one out. I needed you to remain behind and watch after what was rightfully mine.”

 

Kagome stared blanking at the wall more a little while before retorting.

“If so, then why not leave me a message and tell me where you were going? Did I not deserve that much?”

 

“We wanted to take you with us so badly Kagome. You of all people should know that. We love you. But it wouldn't have been the right thing to do. You wanted to make sure things happened like they should in those books of yours. You did that. Now we're here to take you home. Please Kagome.”

 

The voice didn't belong to Sesshomaru. Kagome turned to the coiner of the room, there stood her Shippo. He was a handsome young man now, around 17-18 in human years maybe. He wasn't the little kit she held so close to her breast so long ago. The innocent eyes he held were no more, they were now filled with wisdom and understanding, and that famous playful side that foxes were so known for. He wore his red hair up in a tight ponytail and was clad in what looked like normal teenager cloths. Jeans and a baggy tee-shirt.

 

She looked up at the demon holding her. His eyes and face were the same, but his hair was tied back in a loose ponytail at the base of his neck, he wore a business suit with the top button undone. He was still as handsome as ever. Maybe even more so. Kagome reached a hand up and cupped his face with her small hands, as her thumbs made circles on his face, ever so gently.

 

Yuusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara stiffened slightly. They didn't know how Sesshomaru would react to her touching his face.

“You haven't changed a bit.”

 

Sesshomaru studied her silently before replying. “Nor have you.”

 

Kagome nodded before looking around the room to Kouga, and then to InuYasha. They both were clad in present day attire. And both looked very handsome. She could tell they all had on concealment charms. Their ears and hair may have shocked people. Turning her attention back to the man who's face she was still holding she asked the question from the back of her mind.

“How is your mate?”

 

“She, died around 200 years ago while giving birth to my small daughter.”

 

Sadness sounded in his voice, she felt for him. There was no doubt about it. But he had children now, and though Tachi was about 16 in human years, he could very well fend for himself. But this new light that was just shone into the story made Kagome start to think. Did he only need a woman around to be a mother to the daughter he now had? She would be about Shippos' size, on the day that her and Shippo met.

 

“I'm sorry to hear that Sesshomaru. I know how you felt about her.”

 

She wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru in a hug, and was surprised when he returned it in front of so many specters.

2222222222222

 

Sesshomaru was determined to win the heart of the woman he held. He didn't care how long it took him. She would be his. And if she wouldn't be his, then she would at least stand by his side once again and rule. His former mate was never the pronounced Lady of the West, that tittle belonged to Kagome.

 

Jealous glares were sent to the Lord of the West, and king of the demon realm. So many were after the object he was now holding so close to his body.

 

All glares stopped when Kagome pulled away from the demon Lord.

“I need to shower and change.” Looking around the room she noted the males starring at her and she gave a slight grin “Why don't you all get to know each other? I'm sure things will be fine with a short absence of myself.”

 

With that Kagome stood from Sesshomaru's warm lap and bowed when she left the room.

 

Instantly all males went silent and tension filled the room. Minuets later they could all hear water running and it was quickly followed by Kagome's lovely voice singing in the shower.

 

Souta came down the hallway and stopped at the doorway to the living room. It was eerily silent in there. He was just making sure that no one had gone on a killing spree. Seeing that it was just way too much testosterone in one room, he left to finish the chores he had abandoned with a sigh.

 

The silence was broken by Kouga coughing some or InuYasha yawning. Shippo had found the video games and was quickly working on beating level 4 on a game called `Halo 2'.

222222222222222

 

Kagome came down the stairs after 15 minuets and stood there in jeans and a yellow baby tee. Her hair was still quite wet and her face held no makeup. All males after her heart thought she was breathtaking.

 

All but Kagome could sense the desires they all held for the woman. And with that, they all agreed on one thing.

 

`Let the game begin.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Yes, I guess I'm just not good at writing very long chapters. I'm good with short ones that are almost right to the point. I hope you review and all that nice stuff. Thanks for reading!
