The three men walked into the small double wide trailer with bags in their hands, the two younger genital men scowled at the small pathetic excuse for a home. The older male of the three smiled at the humbleness of the small house, an elderly man came from the living room to the kitchen; to meet his guests at the back door from which they had just entered. “Good evening Inutashio;boys.” He spoke with much admiration in his voice, his hair long since turned white his skin lose and baggy, he stood approximately six foot and five inches his right arm hung limp at his side the evidence of an accident of some sort. Inutashio wrapped his arms around the man’s neck in a friendly embrace.

“Good evening Blue, where is your munchkin? Usually she’s bouncing around like the bundle of energy that she is.” Inutashio said as he sat down at the table after making himself a cup of coffee, the older man took a sip of his coffee before putting down his cup to speak.

“She’s out in the fields right now, she’s had some trouble with birds eating her corn this year, and bugs eat’n up her tomatoes. You should hear her she’ll come in cuss’n and fuss’n in the even‘n time. Speak of the devil!” The four men turned to look at the woman coming in through the kitchen door, she was a site to see in her torn mud stained jean pants that where obviously to big for her. Her shirt was to small and torn as well, her hair was pulled back in a ponytail that had given up on holding all of her hair back.

“Satan would be proud of that temperature outside, dear God it’s hot.” She said not noticing that she had visitors as she whipped her brow of sweat and dirt. She got herself a glass of water; as she turned around she saw Inutashio sitting across from Blue. “Oh, hey stranger how are you,” she smiled at him and waved. “I’d give ya a hug but I’m nasty smelling, not to mention the appearance I’m showing to your sons over here.” She motioned to the other two genital men one leaning against the counter and the other pillaging the refrigerator, she giggled. “Well I’m off to take a refreshing bath,” she then looked at the smaller of the two boys and asked, “what’s your name?”

“Inuyasha,” he stated he turned his head to look at her, he eyed her for a moment as she smiled softly at him; he simply rolled his eyes at the polite gesture.

“It’s nice meet you.” She spoke sweetly, she then turned to Sesshomaru.

“If you’ll bring your things to the back you can have my room, I’ll sleep on the couch.” He grabbed his things and followed her out of the kitchen through the living room to her room. She walked in quickly and turned on the lamp it the far corner next to the bed. “The over head light doesn’t work, the computer is broken, the buttons on the T.V. don’t work so you’ll have to use the remote. The closet is your first door to your left and the bathroom is the second, since this is my room you and I will be sharing the same bathroom, if you have a problem with it you can sleep in the living room and share a bathroom with the other three occupants of the house.” She gave him a sweet joking smile while she gathered her things and entered the bathroom closing the door behind her so as to not give him a show while she showered.

‘She is such a strange creature’ he thought as he put his thing away in the respected areas to which it belonged, he then sat down on the bed opening his laptop case pulling out the cord to plug it in so it could charge he attached to the computer and then in the outlet under the lamp cord. He turned on the machine and started to work on some documents, just because he was on vacation didn’t mean he couldn’t get some work done besides he had two weeks before he had to return to his father's company, that left plenty of time to rest and relax like his father wanted.

There came a knock at the door as Blue walked into the room, Sesshomaru looked up from his laptop to meet the gaze of the older genital man. “Can I help you?” Sesshomaru inquired with out moving from his position to meet the man half way, the older male just simply smiled and shook his head.

“Nope, just wanted to make sure you was settled in aight.” His voice came out in a rough southern rumble.

“As you can see all is fine, think you.” Sesshomaru spoke turning back to his work, expecting the man to exit upon realizing that it wasn’t going to happen any time soon he closed his laptop before looking back at the him.

“Is that work you were doing?” Came the man’s raspy voice, it seemed to be slightly saddened by sound of things.

“Yes.” Was the only reply he received,

“You like your work?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t marry your work, it’ll hurt ya, in more ways than one. Boy listen to an old man as much as you want to give your family the best life, worken an’t the only way to do it.”

“I don’t plan on having a family, so I don’t see the problem.” He stated coldly staring at the man across the room.

“I see, but I suppose you’re demon really don’t need anyone,” he looked over at the desk where a framed picture of he and his daughter as well as her best friend, “and yet it saddens me that you say that because believe me boy you’ll never know joy till you have a family of your own.” With that said he left as the woman exited the bathroom.

“Who just left?”


“Your uncle.”
“Oh ok, you know you‘ve really changed since we were young, it‘s been what ten years since we last saw each other?” She asked as she towel dried her hair.

“Eleven and yes I have changed that is the point of growing up is it not?” He began mocking her.

“Ha ha ha, now what I meant was that it’s been a while, so I was wondering if you would like to hang out or something while you’re here and all.”

“No, now please leave I have work to do” he spoke curtly.

She just scoffed “you know you’ve become a real dick.” She then threw her towel at him and stomped out of the room, he smiled at the small victory but knew that the battle was just beginning. Once again he began to work when something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye, next to him on the bed was a small stuffed animal, it was a black Labrador puppy with white spots. Now he felt slightly guilty.

“Kagome, can I get my hug now?” Inutashio asked giving her a pouty face as he walked into the kitchen.

Kagome just smiled loving at him as she put down the spoon she was stirring her deer and duck soup with. Whipped her hand on her apron she wrapped her arms around his neck as he squeezed her tight and pick her up off the floor, he set her down as Inuyasha entered the kitchen along with her uncle.

“Where is Sesshomaru?” The half-breed asked.

“He’s in my room,” Kagome stated. “Oh and pardon my rude behavior earlier my name is Kagome.” She shook his hand he nodded as he left to bug his brother.

“What smells so delectable?” Came Inutashio’s inquiry.

“Deer and duck stew.” She watched as both men gathered around the pot and breath deeply. She just giggled at their antics, “you two are as bad as children.”

“You try’n to kill us, we’s ganna stuff our selves till we pop.” Blue smiled and walked into the living room and sat down turning on the T.V. moments later the male duo came crashing out of the back bedroom, Inuyasha cussing and running as his brother came walking briskly after him in silence.

“Put it down Inuyasha,” his father called seeing that in the young boy’s hands he held his older brother’s laptop. The boy just scoffed and gave it back to brother and went to watch T.V. with Blue in the living room,

“We’ll be eating in thirty minuets Sesshomaru.” Kagome call from the kitchen as he returned to the bedroom to finish up his work.

“I’m not hungry,” he called closing the door behind him.

“That man has been her for three hours and has already worked on my last nerve.” She spoke as she walked outside to get corn out of the fridge to boil. She stepped outside pulling out her cigarette pack opening it she pulled out her lighter and her last cigarette throwing the pack into the trash next to the door, she lit it and stepped off the porch heading toward the shed where she kept her freezer. ’That man is such a jerk,’ she entered the shed walking straight ahead she opened the freezer door to the refrigerator and pulled out a bag of frozen corn from last growing season placing it on top of the meat freezer she opened the bottom door to the fridge and pulled out a beer for her uncle before checking on how well their home made wine was doing she looked over at one of their three filled glass jars and smiled. “Maybe we can beak it out since it is a special occasion not having seen Inutashio for sometime.” She then picked up the bag of corn and stepped out of the shed, taking one last drag of her cig before flicking it off into the woods.

She rounded the corner and ran in to what felt like a stone wall, she braced herself for the impact that never came. She opened her eyes to see a beautiful face just inches from hers she blinked a couple times before she realized just whose face it was. “I’m sorry Sesshomaru, I wasn’t paying attention.” She spoke as she straightened herself up. He just looked at her, she began to feel nervous so she walked around her quietly muttering her thanks. Oddly he stood still allowing her to pass with out a snide remark, even when they were young he always had something demeaning to say to her, and yet back then he was kind to her in the same respect. Not this Sesshomaru this Sesshomaru was acting strange, she moved about three paces behind him and without turning around he spoke as he stared at the spot she had just occupied.

“You kept it.” He spoke quietly

“Kept what?” She asked innocently

He just turned to her pulling the puppy from his coat, showing it to her as he stared at it. “Well I told you I would, didn’t I?” She asked walking up to him taking hold of the stuffed animal.

“Yes I suppose you did.” He said letting go of the dog, “You should finish supper.” He said with a slight smirk. She giggled softly

“I thought you northerner’s called it ‘dinner’?”

“I’m still trying to become accustom to your hillbilly language, now git.” he said turning her around and patting her on the bottom for a little extra umph. She smiled a sugary sweet smile at him, he just smirked at the thought of her childish actions. Physically she had matured but she still had the heart of a child, and that was the way he liked it. He watched as she walked up the stairs and into the house, he looked towards the woods and frowned as the image of her flicking that Cancer stick after taking the last drag she was a good kid and the man who received her was a damn lucky man, but he sure as hell didn’t like that fact he childhood friend was wasting her life for a single puff of smoke. He walked around to the other side of the house looking up the long gravel covered hill driveway. He began his trudge up the hill to the dirt road he passed three wooden crosses on his way up, he smiled as the thought of his father and Blue putting them up with the purple and gold cloth Kagome had made for them. He then looked down the hill at the back of the house as he recalled the sunrise service Kagome’s cousin Miroku had preached his first sermon to his family and a few from the local churches in the community. He then turned his back once again to the house as he made his way to main road, it took a few moments for him to reach the road from the entirely to long drive way of dirt and gravel, he turned left and headed down to the horse farm, he walked for thirty or so minuets before coming to the over head sign. “Brooks” he opened the gate and headed down yet another dirt driveway, he came to the house and knocked on the door a voice from inside yelled in response to his action.

“Go head to the stables Sesshomaru,” came the young male voice.

“Where is your father Shippo?” he called back tiredly.

“In town and ma’s in the stable.”

Without another word Sesshomaru turned his back to the door and headed to the barn. Upon his arrival he spotted Kikyo and her mother in the stable feeding and brushing the horses. “Hello Sesshomaru,” they both called to him with bright smiles as Kikyo’s eyes wandered over his luscious body. He simply nodded his greetings, and moves to the a hanging saddle and saddle blanket, he opened the first stall to his right and walked in pulling the blanket over the horses back before placing the saddle a top it strapping it down he grabbed the rains hanging just outside the stall door putting them in place before leading the horse out of the stall he looked at the ladies and nodded again before mounting and riding off leaving two breathless damsels behind him.

************************************************************************

Kagome finished making dinner allowing it to cool for a few moments while she set the table for everyone to eat, she had seen Sesshomaru leave through the kitchen window and decided to set a small portion of the mill for him to eat, because between two demons and her uncle there would no hope for Sesshomaru to get any other wise. She smiled as the men filed into the kitchen and sit down, Blue was placed at the head of the table in front of the table Inutashio to his left and Inuyasha sat to Kagome’s right next to his father. Kagome served everyone before taking her seat at the end of the table, the door opened moments after they had blessed the food and started to eat. Sesshomaru sauntered into the kitchen, Kagome smiled and pointed to the microwave oven where she had placed his plate of food. He grabbed his food as Kagome got him a cup and filled it with ice tea they sat down Sesshomaru sat to her left and all began to eat in silence.
