Dogs

Sesshoumaru was home in a large cavern that was disguised as a mansion. No one would know that it was a large old castle that had belonged to his Mother who was a powerful Diayouki just as himself. His long silver hair flowed about him and then he transformed into his truest self. The demon dog needed to come out every now and again to rest. It had been a tiring day.

Bad dreams came to him about the death of his dearest little girl and the vulgarity of humans. Why had he ever allowed them to live so long or his brother? They had no sense of respect for anything.

Sesshoumaru whimpered through the night wondering what went wrong with the world. His servants who had once been with him were all dead replaced by new human ones every year that he had to keep as practical prisoners in his home or destroy them for letting his secret out. It was bad enough Inuyasha's wench knew who he was.

The caverns behind the castle were where he slept in this form and they seemed so very empty with no warmth. How in the hell did his parents enjoy this? They liked their space and being separated. Sesshoumaru however missed Jaken even though he was annoying the retainer had been a good and loyal friend. Rin with her many flowers had made him adore small children which were why he did not kill humans much anymore. It was like the whole world had gone crazy and he was still stuck in the past trying to pretend he could change with this future.

Inuyasha would pay for his insult. He knew better then to let the public near that sacred spot. He was busy being hero in a time that did not need him anymore. He belonged with his pregnant wife on the other side of the well. Naraku was dead. That was why Rin and Jaken were no longer with him. Naraku destroyed them much later in life since he had been quite the foe to kill. Sesshoumaru knew he should not have been so soft on him. He should have taken the spider out the first time they met. It was too late now. Rin and Jaken could only be saved once with his sword so now it was just another dust collector on a wall of priceless heirlooms and dust collection antiques that no one knew existed. They were of his family and meant more to him than anything anymore. Ah-Un was in the stables and the dumb old two headed burden beast still looked for his Rin in the night. The creature had not ever been the same after losing Rin.

Sesshoumaru felt tears as usual. He had cried now for his Rin for over 500 years. When would this mourning time ever cease? Closing his eyes after letting out a sad whimper Sesshoumaru finally fell asleep.

Inuyasha had been crawling through the well when he came home to the sound of his sobbing wife who was sitting in the kitchen on the phone with Sango who with Miroku had been brought through the well. Shippo was still at school at Sesshoumaru’s demon schools for children. There was an Elementary, Middle, and High School as well as a few small colleges he had funded as well as hidden for this purpose. There were so few demons left in the world so only a few schools were needed.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha in fury.

“Sit boy! Sit! Sit! Sit!”

Inuyasha was not expecting that and was rather pissed about it.

“What the hell did I do now you wench?”

Kagome stared daggers into Inuyasha’s eyes.

“Go ask your brother you jerk! You promised me the camp was nowhere near Rin’s grave so now you can go ask him what he wants you to do about it! I am going to Sango’s for a few days! Cook your own damn ramen!”

With that Kagome grabbed her bags and marched out the kitchen to her car. Her Mother was already in the car with Souta after Kagome whacked her little brother on the back of the head for still being on his cell phone instead of in the car like she told him to be. He was still a little punk at 21 years old and since he lived under their room Kagome was in charge for now. Souta thought his life was over.

“Sis you are such a mean bi…..”

That was as far as he got out before Kagome grabbed him by his ear.

“Get in the car Souta and don’t push me.”

Inuyasha tried to get up from the floor to go chase his wife down, but she made him into a crater in the kitchen. That wasn’t going to be cheap to fix.

“Damn woman has a temper from hell and I thought my brother was bad.”

Inuyasha knew he was in trouble and as soon as he could get up from the floor he would go see what his big brother wanted. It was going to hurt no matter how he looked at it, but it had to feel better than being sat into a tile kitchen floor.
