InuYasha Meets Vicious

Sesshoumaru: Did she do as you wished?

Vicious: (rolls her eyes. Thinks "Yeah, way to roll out the red carpet")

InuYasha: yes

Sesshoumaru: (Nods.) Doumou, have the food brought to us now

Vicious: (Nodded and left quickly)

InuYasha: (absentmindedly cracks his fingers)

Sesshoumaru: (Gives him a look of distaste)

InuYasha: what? (looks at him)

Sesshoumaru: (Shakes his head and looks up as the feast is brought in by many servants)

InuYasha: (shrugs like 'whatever' )

Vicious: (Brings a large dish of freshly prepared meat and semi-drops it onto the table in front of him, shooting him an angry look)

InuYasha: (ignores her)

Sesshoumaru: (Obviously cought what had happened, growling and watching Vicious.)

InuYasha: so nii-san, when is this get together you invited me to?

Sesshoumaru: It is right now.

InuYasha: oh..., oops..., (chuckles)

Sesshoumaru: (chances a small smirk and looks to Vicious.) Doumou, you will prepare yourself now, understand?

Vicious: (Froze and nodded sadly. She bowed respectively to him and left)

InuYasha: (raises an eyebrow) what is she going to do??

Sesshoumaru: You will see. Now, otouto, let us feast and celebrate our reuniting as siblings. (he raised a small sake bowl as a toast)

InuYasha: (does the same)

Sesshoumaru: (tilts his head back and downs it)

InuYasha: (drinks his and with surprisingly good dining etiquet[?] eats)

Sesshoumaru: (Reaches out with his bare hand and begins eating a slab of meat, growling as he did so)

InuYasha: (doesn't say anything just continues eating)

Jaken: (entered the room panting) Lord Sesshoumaru! The vampire is trying to escape!!

Sesshoumaru: (Stands and drops the food he was just eating.) If you'll excuse me, brother. (He turned quickly and left)

InuYasha: (gets up, unsure if he should help)

Jaken: (followed Sesshoumaru out, closing the door behind him)

InuYasha: (decides to help and goes out into the courtyard, using his nose to find Vicious)

Vicious: (Is currently near the outer area of the courtyard, clawing at a barier that was up)

InuYasha: (runs towards her)

Vicious: (Is too engulfed in attacking the barrier she has yet to notice)

InuYasha: hey! Where are you going?! (stops next to her)

Vicious: (Panics and jumps away from him. Her eyes are wide and tears are streaming down her face.)

InuYasha: what?? (confused)

Vicious: (Becomes angry.) You bastard!! How could you?!?! I thought you had caught on! (She comes forward and grasps onto his kimono colar.) The only reason you and that prick are "reunited" is because I made him think that if he didn't let you be like his brother then he had less honor!! I thought you KNEW he doesn't care!! But no, you got suckered in and now you're just going to sit back and let him punish me for giving you a LOOK?!?!?!?!??! YOU SHOULD DIE!!!

InuYasha: i know what you said, I know about it, and you know what? I've been trying to defend you!

Vicious: BULLSHIT!!

InuYasha: it's true! I've been trying to convince him to not punish you, but the guy is too thick headed

Vicious: You're not even trying! but why should I expect you to, anyway?? You're just some stupid mutt

InuYasha: (ears flatten) fine, I don't care anymore. . . . (walks away back towards the castle)

Vicious: I don't need your help anyway!! (Turns back to the barrier, clawing at it once more)

InuYasha: whatever bitch (walks up the front stairs)

Sesshoumaru: (Exists the castle, walking past Inu-Yasha with a bull whip in hand, eyes set on Vicious.)

InuYasha: (doesn't say anything and goes into the castle)

(A few moments later screams of pain are heard from the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of the whip cracking over flesh)

InuYasha: (winces and quickly heads towards his room)

Rin: (Is leaning against his door covering her eyes and counting)

InuYasha: (sees her and gently taps her)

Rin: (Shrugs the feeling off.) Not yet, I'm still counting! (She giggled and resumed)

InuYasha: (snorts and moves her out of the way and goes into his room, ears still flattened)

Rin: (Stomps her foot.) Now I lost count! (She begins away.)

InuYasha: (plops onto the bed, his hands clamped over his ears, trying to drown out all sound)

(After some time there is a knock on his door)

InuYasha: come in (removes his hands from his ears)

Sesshoumaru: (steps into the room.) You did not return to the dining room.

InuYasha: sorry.... i figured it was ah.., canceled due to her trying to escape

Sesshoumaru: (scoffs) I would not cancel such a celebration over such trivial matters as a serving wench

InuYasha: (shrugs) I didn't know, so I decided to come here

Sesshoumaru: (nods.) We shall continue the celebration some other time. Until then make yourself at home.

InuYasha: thanks Sesshoumaru

Sesshoumaru: It is what brothers are for. (He turns and exits the room)

InuYasha: (sighs and scratches his head)

(The castle seems to be settling now. Not many sounds are hear save for the occasional servant passing through the hall)

InuYasha: (gets up and decides to go explore the gardens outside) What've I gotten myself into this time?..... (mutters to himself as he wanders around the gardens)

(There is a slight rustle behind one of the leafy bushes)

InuYasha: (unaware too busy pondering things, just continues to walk around in circles by the bush)

(The scent of fresh blood lingers in the air)

InuYasha: (sniffs and turns to the bush, his head sort of cocked to the side)

(someone begins to stand from behind the bushes. Her clothes were in shreds and blood tainted nearly all of her. Long black hair hung over her face)

InuYasha: (blinks and walks towards the figure)

(She senses him and trembles.)

InuYasha: are you okay??

(She shakes her head)

InuYasha: come on, I'll take you to go get fixed up (gently picks her up into his arms)

(She cries out at the pain and clings onto him)

InuYasha: sorry... (takes her inside and then to the infirmary part of the castle)

(One of the female healers looks up from a concoction.) Oh dear! (She stands and rushes over) What happened here?
