CHAPTER 9

“Inuyasha go tell your brother that dinner is ready.” said his mom placing a napkin on her lap.

“Keh!” said Inuyasha crossing his arms making no move to do his mothers bidding.

“Inuyasha!” scolded his father without looking at his son. Inuyasha jump from his seat and headed upstairs mumbling “why do I go to go get that asshole…moms pet…Keh!”

Inuyasha opened Sesshy’s door without knocking “hey fluff--” Inuyasha was interrupted by Sesshomaru’s hands on his throat.

“Don’t ever call me that you little mutt and the next time you enter my room without knocking I’m going to break your fingers.”

Inuyasha choked out “o…k.”

“What do you want?” asked his brother loosening his grip.

Inuyasha whispered “foods ready.”

Sesshomaru gave his brother an evil smile before throwing him out of his room, Inuyasha lost his balance and hit his head on the wall “OWW!” said Inuyasha rubbing the back of his head.

“You dumb fuck!” said Inuyasha getting up and lunging towards his brother.

Sesshomaru smirked and slammed his door right before Inuyasha reached the threshold “OWW! My nose!” cried Inuyasha standing in the hallway holding his nose.

“What’s wrong Inuyasha” asked Rin.

“That prick Sesshomaru slammed the door on my face.” he told her without thinking.

Rin looked like she was going to cry “hey Rin is my nose ok?” said Inuyasha kneeling down so she could get a better look at it. Rin nodded her head “yes” Inuyasha notice that her eyes were moist “don’t cry Rin its ok…me and fluffy were just playing with each other.” Rin nodded again then gave her brother a smile.

“Let’s go, food is ready” he told her.

“Race you” said Rin already running towards the dining room.

“Hey that’s cheating” said Inuyasha running after her.

“Yura have you lost you mind you can’t have my brother!” said Kagura

“Why!” said Yura getting up.

“Calm down, look my brother is a complicated guy, plus he doesn’t like you” said Kagura bluntly.

“I want to know why?” she said narrowing her eyes at Kagura “what did you tell your brother about me?”

Kagura rolled her eyes at her friend “I told him that you’re my friend and that I refuse to stop being friends with you because he said not to be friends. So sit your ass down and let’s not fight over my brother...ok?”

Yura sat back down “…….”

Kagura “………”

After a few minutes of silence Yura said “so are we going to sit here looking at each other or are we going to find a way to get your brother to like me?”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you” said Kagura

“And I warned you about Sesshomaru so?” countered Yura.

“So when are your college entrance exams?” asked his father.

“Next month sir” said Sesshomaru.

“I’m sure you will have no problems.” said Toga.

“I don’t foresee any sir.” replied Sessh.

“Good, good I was thinking of sending you to our Rio de Janeiro office during summer vacation so you could get some on the job experience.” said his father.

“Honey he could do that here without having to go half way around the world.” said his wife.

“Yes, but there too many “distractions” here in Tokyo for him to concentrate on the job.” said Toga. “I think is a good idea, plus the boy needs to loosen up a bit stop being so… well you know.”

“I don’t think it is” argued Izayoi.

Izayoi knew that the “distraction” her husband was talking about was Akane. “So you’re going to send him to Brazil where there’s a lot of other “distractions” for him to get into.” Izayoi snapped at her husband.

Toga looked at his wife raising an eyebrow was about to answer but was cut off by her.

“Well we can talk about this later not at dinner.” said his wife ending that topic giving him a cold look. Toga frowned at her.

“Mommy is Sesshy a prick? What’s a prick?” asked Rin. This made Inuyasha choke on the water he was drinking.

“Rin where did you hear that word?” said her mom ignoring Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha called Sesshomaru that when Sesshomaru closed the door on his nose.” said Rin innocently.

Izayoi turn to see Inuyasha shaking his head at his sister and putting his finger to his lips to shush her. “This will not do, Inuyasha I told you about that foul mouth of yours your grounded for a week” said his mom.

“But mom Sesshomaru threw me against a wall and then slammed my nose on his door!” whined Inuyasha.

“And you! You’re grounded for the night” she said turning to Sesshomaru.

“That’s why I didn’t want to go up there to tell him dinner was ready because he always abuses me… its not fair he’s only grounded for the night.” said Inuyasha crossing his arms.

“ENOUGH!” said Toga surprising everyone “I’m warning all of you. Rin stop being a tattle tail, Inuyasha stop your cursing and whining, Sesshomaru stop abusing your brother and you” he said pointing at his wife “stop bossing me around.” He banged his fist on the table making everyone jump “I want to be able to eat dinner without having to play referee for a bunch of spoil brats.” He said looking at each of them. “Now were going to sit here and eat like a civilized family… do you understand?” everyone nodded except Izayoi, who gave her husband a insolent look but said nothing choosing to look down at her plate. ‘Payback is a bitch honey’ she thought.

Satisfied with the result of his outburst he sat back to enjoy his meal.

“Yura I hate to burst your bubble but he’s got a girlfriend who happens to be drop dead gorgeous and they have been together since the seventh grade” said Kagura.

“So are you saying I’m not pretty?” Yura told her challenging.

“Don’t get me wrong you’re pretty, but who understands men and what they want from women, plus my brother is not a cheater.” told her friend.

“Damn it!” said an annoyed Yura.

“Look maybe you need to find someone else.” Kagura told her.

“No, I want him!” cried Yura.

“Look to be honest I’m not that warm and fuzzy about you and him being together, there’s that best friends don’t date their friend’s family members rule that we’re forgetting here.” said Kagura.

Yura stuck her tongue out at her.

“Whatever!” countered Kagura.

The Tashiotaka family finally had a civilized dinner to the enjoyment of Mr. Tashiotaka, but alas it wouldn’t last long.

The door bell rang breaking the silence “I wonder who that could be.” said Izayoi.

Yumi opened the front door

“Is Sesshomaru home?” asked Akane.

“Yes miss, this way please” said the maid.

“Good evening” Akane greeted.

“Oh… hello Akane what brings you here?” said Izayoi with false politeness.

Akane smiled innocently “I called earlier and Sesshomaru was not feeling well so I came to check on him and see if he wanted to go out to eat!”

“Well Sesshy is grounded so he won’t be going anywhere tonight.” said Toga ‘hopefully she will leave.’ He thought.

Izayoi knew here husband did not want Akane to stay so she did something to get back at him for his earlier outburst. “Please join us” Izayoi smiled at her husband “Yumi please set a place for Akane.”

“Yes ma’am.” said Yumi.

Akane wanted to sit by Sesshomaru but Rin was sitting next to him so she sat across from them next to Inuyasha

“So Akane are you staying in Japan this time?” Toga asked her.

“Well it depends” she said looking at Sesshomaru.

Toga saw the look she gave his son and he didn’t like it “depends on what?” he insisted.

“Oh honey, stop badgering the poor girl” said Izayoi too sweetly.

Inuyasha head kept going back and forth between his mother and father, then he looked at his brother noticing that he had been silent since he sat down to dinner, something was not right here. Inuyasha had heard about his brothers’ kendo match today it was already all over the school thanks to the gossiping thunder brothers.

Toga knew his hopes for a civilized dinner was coming to an end thanks to his wife. “Yumi scotch on the rocks, please” he told the maid.

“Yes sir” replied Yumi.

Izayoi looked at Toga before saying “So Sesshomaru who is Kagura?”

Sesshomaru fork froze half way to is mouth.

Akane looked at him narrowing her eyes. ‘That name again!’

“Why do you ask?” said Sessh giving his brother an evil look. Inuyasha frowned at him.

“Well you said that name while you where sleeping.” said his mother innocently.

Akane dropped her fork which made a clanking sound that made everyone jump except Sesshomaru and Toga

“She’s nobody mother” he said dismissingly.

“Well I wouldn’t say that big brother word is she beat you in kendo today!” joined Inuyasha.

“Sesshomaru don’t tell me she’s the one responsible for that lump on your head!” his mother said in outrage.

‘Too outraged’ thought Toga.

“Why where you with her again?” asked Akane raising her voice while getting up from her seat.

Izayoi looked at Akane narrowing her eyes.

“So much for a civilized dinner” murmur Toga in defeat looking at his wife.
