Too Much Time On Their Hands

Megan and Inuyasha were forced to stay behind at the castle with Sesshoumaru who was routed to the spot. He would not let the contractors do their work as usual trying to take over while Megan and Inuyasha pulled him away as they helped him replant his tree. Sesshoumaru had literally gone bezerk on them about that blaming everyone involved with the ball.

“I don’t know why we had to leave Megan. She needs to be involved. I swear you men act like a bunch of spoiled babies.”

Khristel stated as she frowned at the men not wanting her young charge to be there with these fools when she had much to learn about etiquette and the ladies duties when it came to such events as grand balls because they would have many. If her Chief though he was getting out of it he had another thing coming. It was time that Lucian acted as though he were Lucian the King not the spoiled little boy. The man was like a child unless he had his medicine bag that had to hang off of him with his shirt all mangled by those claws. It was so embarrassing and Lucian refused to put on a new shirt stating they were wasting enough time so his son would get him one at this ‘mall’ place.

“Don’t worry dear. She will be there to see to the finishing touches of this event so we will fill her in on the rest when we get back. We should only be at these ‘stores’ for a couple of hours.”

Eurwen stated as Morgwen looked over the catalogs.

“Where are the servants to do such things as trivial as this shopping nonsense? Why must we be the ones to venture out at all? I thought as Lords and Ladies that was our privilege in life.”

Arashi stated grumbling as he lay his head on his chin frowning. This was going to take all damn day.

The Chief was busy reading about computers with an occasional ‘Hn’ sound every few minutes. He wanted to go to these stores, buy more books on how to get this ‘data’ since it seemed rather complex so it had to be like treasure. It was to his son a plethora of information and they needed to know everything since the elders would be here for a very long time. It was obvious they were needed since the whole world was a mess and it was all his son Alistair’s fault. Was there not a royal library with all they needed? Where were all the things one needed like a damn cigar and some fucking whiskey?

“Son, I hope you are right about this ‘information highway’. We are traveling on many forked roads and I think you speak with a forked tongue you brat.’
“Is this where we travel in the auto carriage to find all we need to know? I could go much faster. In my day we did not travel like this. We walked and it was long with many tribulations. You would never understand since your Mother spoiled you in life.’
“I still do not understand ‘internet’, but it is where you say all information is. Is the Internet a person? How wise is he and does he really know all as you state? I highly doubt it. I think you are being deceived by the white man as we all were in my day.”

Alistair rolled his eyes and told his Father for the billionth time that he would show him when they got to the electronics store. Then his Father wanted to know what that was which of course he got stares all around while the young ones rolled on the floor laughing except for Lycos, Ronin, and Jimmy. Jimmy was still trying to figure out a way to kill Ronin and so was Lycos. Ronin was oblivious to this as he kept getting his hand smacked as he kept rubbing it along Lycos leg ignoring the slapping.

“Eventually you will have to give up your virginity to someone Lycos. Why don’t you consent? I would leave all these other assholes for you. I would do anything to be your true mate and show you that your first time will be so pleasurable that you will never want another.”

Ronin frowned as he gave Lycos a break removing his hand. Lycos felt a headache coming on. He did not want to talk about it.

“Let him be. He is just a prude and will be a damn monk for real not like Miroku. We are going to send him to the masons and let them deal with the asshole. Either that or he will consent to me after living in a damn monastery for a year. Believe me he will hate that because they have no computer in those places and you can’t even hide. You work and wear itchy wool clothing having to save people. It will be his undoing making him beg to be with one of us the asshole.”

Jimmy stated growling at Ronin.

“I will not put up with either one of you and I don’t care how powerful you are Jimmy you will not take me against my will. I will have nothing to do with any of you. My desired mate is mated. I am damned, let me be and go to hell the both of you.”

Lycos growled as Shippo snorted.

“Get over it Lycos. Coty wasn’t that into you.”

Ronin smiled as he put on his best flirting eyes batting them at Lycos. Didn’t Lycos know how much he loved him? Wasn’t it obvious enough? Ronin would show Lycos he was the one for him any way possible before Jimmy ruined Lycos for good.

“But I want so much to be into you Lycos, I won’t ever give up on you and I won’t rape you like Jimmy might. You know he will eventually like he forced you to be bonded to us. See, now who is the real asshole? You should love me and trust only me because I am not an asshole who would lie to you. I would never act like a canine unless you want me to and become a tyrant over you so that is why you can trust cats. We only get in your face on occasion and don’t want you to bug us constantly. In fact you will have all the freedom you want as long as you love me so come on and be mine.”

Lycos dropped his hands to his lap with his book looking at Ronin like he was a pain in the ass while Jimmy growled as Tsukiya held him back from strangling Ronin for insulting him.

“I am not an asshole Ronin and I ain’t a tyrant ya blasted cat! Canines are loyal and you have no loyalty except to your own self you bastard! The only damn reason you live is because everyone is too damn soft and you are related to me! That is it! Otherwise I would have killed you already and someday I swear I will!”

Ronin grasped Lycos onto his lap as Lycos punched and kicked trying to fight his way free. He was muscular, but smaller boned then the others making Lycos almost seem fragile although he could in truth kick their buts quite well if he ever wanted to prove himself. Unfortunately he wouldn’t do that since he didn’t want to be around anyone and hated violence. Unfortunately he was also a vegetarian making his parents go nuts since they did not expect one of their children to be a pacifist tree hugging little animal savior.

“See I told you Lycos, that guy is insane! He wants to kill his own mate! Do you really want him to be your full mate? Talk about a whack job Jimmy should be in a straight jacket for our safety dude!”

Luna was laughing so hard she was on the floor, the women were too busy to care about childish play, but the men found this amusing.

“Lycos I thought you gave up your virginity already to Jimmy when he marked you. Did you lie son because I can show you the ropes if you need some help?”

Alistair teased as he eyed the pup on Ronin’s lap as Lycos face got redder by the second.

“I have not ever been so insulted in my damn life! All of you are heathens”

Chief spoke up flipping his hand shaking his head no to that comment.

“No little one. Do not use that word since it has made my people suffer more than any other. You are surrounded by family and one who loves you. You should be grateful that the little lion is willing to be patient until you are ready. You will be someday and someday you must also hunt even if you do not think it is right now. I was like you in many ways, but I have learned to live is to be who we are. You are a demon child, you must allow it to be free or it will take over you someday leaving you with many regrets my little Inu.”

Arashi spoke up at that point.

“Ah yes I agree with that Chief Lucian. In my day we would not hesitate with such a fine young man and as Fathers we were the only ones allowed to train our sons which was of course unfortunate as Touga well knows. It is a good thing some traditions have changed.”

Touga and Alistair cleared their throats on that one trying not to correct the elders although they were both fucking wrong. So wrong in fact that the two men wanted to set them straight, but not in front of the young ones.

“Um, not so Arashi….. You forgot something during our travels to this ‘mall’ place where we will be tormented by our women. Remember why we have to beat your sons to a pulp? It is one thing to follow traditions; it is another to lose control of this when you are the elder.”

The Chief nodded with a harrumph sternly contemplating this fact. He crossed his arms looking at Alistair who frowned sitting back in his seat.

“Yes Balachandra, in fact we should show these younglings the example since the females are busy at this time.”

Arashi stated as the Chief smiled. Perhaps today will not be so bad.

Lycos and the other young men looked in horror as their Father’s were suddenly bare assed and over their Father’s knees being spanked at what seemed to be a contest of three thousand spanks per second. It was done so fast as the hands flew up that it almost seemed as though they were not even moving except the sounds could not hide what was really happening or the slow reddening of the pale cheeks being pounded. None of them had ever seen a hand move that damn fast as the men were literally crying out in pain.

“Will you men keep it down? We are trying to organize things here and you are all going to be sleeping outside if you cannot control your voices.”

Eurwen stated as she turned back around and the Chief smirked shrugging grasping the under armor shirt ripping what was left of it off to use to gag their young men as Balachandra put the gag in place after placing a good spell on it.

“Don’t worry ladies you will not hear any more noise.”

Balachandra stated as Arashi and the Chief smirked at each other trying to out spank one another. This was the best entertainment they had all day as their sons were in tears. Hell the boys were old enough to know better.

“You guys are vicious.”

Jimmy stated as his mouth was still open from witnessing this.

“Oh, I almost forgot you.”

Arashi stated as he nudged Balachandra to grasp the pup and join in. The Chief and Arashi stopped as the men flopped on their lap now that the tension was temporarily gone.

“I got about 3600, how did you do Chief?”

Arashi stated with a smirk looking at the blistered bottom of his son. Touga was literally sobbing on his lap wishing his parents would have stayed dead.

“Oh, I did better this time. I got Alistair with at least 5000. You really have to swing your hand just right to get the effect you are looking for. It isn’t how hard, it is how fast making sure it hits the same place. See how nice and rosy he is without the blisters. It gives him time to heal and yet still gets the adequate sting factor in.”

Alistair was also sobbing and trying to struggle off his Father’s lap as the Chief let one fly that made even Ronin jump as Lycos actually cuddled further in to the last person’s arms he wanted to be in. This was horrifying. These guys were making a contest out of pain.

“See, if you whack them this hard then you get blisters so you have to wait. Anyway let’s heal them up a little and don’t be too harsh on the little one Balachandra. I want a few on him later and we will get Sesshoumaru as well as Inuyasha. I think all three of us get to do this to little Megan to be fair.”

The men smirked at that thought.

“Ah, it has been so long since I have been able to turn my woman over my knee. I look forward to this brothers and such a young thing too. Do cats whimper?”

Arashi stated as all three men stopped and thought about it.

“Hn…….. I don’t know Arashi. I think they hiss or something. Maybe we will have young Ronin have a go since he is causing Jimmy such hell. He did almost drop his mate’s puppy and that is completely uncalled for even if it is a small domesticated beast rather than lucky like we demons.”

Balachandra stated as Ronin suddenly let out a whimper. Lycos was shocked and looked at Ronin. Ronin this time pouted at them all.

“Look just because that asshole Jimmy says I am a cat doesn’t mean I ain’t related to all of you. You forgot who my damn Father was or what?”

The Chief smirked.

“You are still not getting out of this little kitty. Now bite your fingers to heal these pups, well except for Jimmy, and we shall see who the winner is this time and I will even slow a bit for you old men.”

Arashi laughed and Balachandra looked insulted.

“What else can we use as a prize? I mean is it just their punishment that we are going for or can we have all bets on this time? It felt like we were cheated that last time with Morgwen and Khristel.”

Chief sat back thinking as he bit his fingers rubbing his blood over the wounds as his son lay there feeling relieved as Alistair felt that blood soothe those red welts on his ass.

“Let us not do something just for us my brothers, but for another this time. I want Lycos and I shall have the boy since he is obviously having fears of intimacy. So you two will have the cat to train if I lose otherwise I get them both. Is that fair since of course you may both have Luna as well as Tsukiya? We of course will train the younglings just as before, but this is for another time. I will mate fully to both of you if you win this very day. Are these acceptable terms? Oh, and of course that other thing we talked about you can have too this day too if one of you win.”

Arashi and Balachandra smirked looking at each other. They were going to kick Chief’s ass since they had been practicing for a moment just like this one.

“Shake on it Chief and make it a solid agreement.”

Arashi stated cutting into his hand with his claw as did Balachandra. The Chief was pleased with the blood pact as he too joined hands.

“It is now time to begin. Tsukiya you will time us on your ‘watch’ for ‘five’ of your minutes starting as soon as you say to go dear.”

Balachandra stated as Ronin had Lycos now literally on top of him and at the same time looking at Jimmy like he was the asshole that caused all of this. If the jerk hadn’t bitten him he would be long gone by now across the country away from these assholes where people didn’t hurt each other and maybe there were no demons. It was Jimmy’s fault and now he was going to lose the one thing he had left that he controlled over them all. Lycos was not about to give up his precious virginity to anyone unless he was damn good and ready for it.

“I hope our Great Uncle makes it so you can never sit again.”

Lycos ground out as his eyes bled red while Jimmy rested a hand on his chin thinking that he would kill all of his mates later for making him suffer this and that was just because he could.

“Now.”

Tsukiya stated and although they were getting the beatings of their lives for some dumb reason Jimmy just yawned even though his ass was redder than a tomato.

“I thought this was gonna hurt.”

Jimmy stated as the youngsters looked at him like he had to be the biggest asshole in the universe. He wasn’t screaming, crying, nor did he have a gag in like his Fathers.

“Aren’t you spanking his ass hard enough?”

Arashi asked as they kept going. The Chief was like a speed spanker as Alistair sobbed like a baby on his lap wanting it to be over already.

“Two minutes left.”

Tsukiya stated as she watched the time since she was not a part of the adult female’s conversation being too young to be involved in it for what the ladies called ‘the boring stuff’ like seating arrangements that they would show her rather than try to explain. Younglings never remembered all of that at Tsukiya and Luna’s age.

“Man, I am so bored.”

Jimmy stated as he hung off of his Great Uncles lap who was spanking him so fast no one could see his hand moving.

“Jimmy you have an iron but. I swear nothing hurts him so don’t sweat it Uncle Balachandra.”

Ronin stated relaxing a bit. Lycos was in his arms, a dream come true as he ran his long fingernails over Lycos hair loving that the beautiful creature wasn’t running from him.

As Lycos sat in Ronin’s arms he felt safe, but still didn’t like it. He was to be a King not some man’s woman or husband. Lycos did not want to be mated to anyone except for Coty, but he was indeed tired of being alone. He was always alone and no fucking bastard in that house understood him. Coty had, but she was now gone for good. He would never see her again except at stupid things like this ball which only made him hate being here even more.

“Lycos, you are so beautiful. I love you.”

Ronin stated as he purred happily holding the Inu perfection against his body. Lycos was so damn beautiful that it made him weep at night since even though he joked around Ronin was lonely too. Ronin was different than any of them and he felt like a freak although he never mentioned it.

Touching Lycos was like touching a beautiful Angel with such a face that only heaven could have made it. The guy should have been born female. He was way too lithe and frail in comparison to his brothers. Sure Lycos was strong as hell, but unlike his Father he was even lovelier with a perfection no one in the family had. Lycos was the only one who looked almost exactly like Sesshoumaru except for his lips.

“And you are annoying Ronin. The only reason I am still here is I do not want to be over there with them. The people in our family are completely insane including you.”

Lycos stated as he still tried not to enjoy the gently petting hand that was caressing his long hair. Ronin was gentle with him unlike his other siblings. Lycos just would not ever tell the bastard that. It would lead Ronin on to think he actually liked him and Lycos hated everyone except for his Mother. His Fathers were all assholes trying to push him to mate and only Megan stood up for him telling everyone to let him be so that Lycos could find what he needed. Lycos loved his Mother and would follow her to the ends of the earth. She accepted his peaceful ways of life and nurtured them. It made Lycos feel for once he was not alone which was why he missed Coty so damn much since his Mother could not be his true mate.

“I know you want a woman Lycos, but I don’t want to change who I am. I would be your uke. You know I would do anything for you. I would even act like a woman if you want. I would pull down the moon and catch a star for you.”

Jimmy then smirked.

“Sure you would Ronin just like you would quit being an ass to me. Don’t listen to the jerk Lycos. The guy is a big cat liar.”

Ronin hissed at Jimmy as his eyes bled red. Fucking wolf was asking for it since he hated being called a damn liar by anyone.

“One minute left.”

Tsukiya stated looking at her watch and then at the men wondering how many spanks they got in because she stopped counting.

“Will you two stop fighting?”

Luna stated as she growled at her brothers.

“You lay one hand on Lycos I will beat the hell out of you Jimmy and I am not a liar.”

Jimmy snorted.

“You can try to beat me, but you will lose ya big loser. Lycos wants a real man, not a cat who flies.”

At that Ronin pounced only to have Luna and Lycos hold him down as he snarled at Jimmy. Tsukiya moved sitting on the cat’s feet.

“You will pay for that!”

Ronin was ready to kill and Jimmy just smirked. It had been a while since he got to piss of the stupid cat when it was usually Ronin pissing him off.

“Thirty seconds.”

Lycos pulled Ronin’s hair.

“If you want to do anything for me Ronin then calm yourself. You are creating a scene and in front of the elders. Why can you two not get along? It is so unattractive and you will never get a full mate acting this way. You are both ruffians.”

Ronin would not though.

“Ten”

Tsukiya started the countdown. All three demon elders were sweating laughing too as they kept their pounding up getting faster as the countdown started.

“Oh come off of it Lycos. Why don’t you two just fucking get married? You already sound like you are mated and with that stick up your ass you deserve each other ya dumb ass! You should have let me show you what I can do and you will. Eventually you will come to me and I will make you mine because you are not born to be King. I am and that is why you are still with me.”

Lycos frowned at that. He knew Jimmy was just baiting him, but he wasn’t going to fall for it.

“Nine”

“You will take that back wolf………. I am also an Alpha you asshole.”

Jimmy smirked glad to see some emotion coming off the snobby jerk.

“Eight”

“Never Lycos, I will never take that back until you become a man you child. You can’t be a King if you can’t bear an heir and you can’t be a King if you have never killed. A King of Demons must be able to act like one. You are a pathetic wimp who doesn’t even defend yourself. You are such a baby Lycos; do I need to get you a bottle? Why would I do that though when you don’t understand the word suck or sex since you are such a pretty little baby boy who can’t get it up.”

Ronin roared at that insult. So what if Lycos was a pacifist? Did everyone always have to kill people or threaten it? Why couldn’t they have such a wonderful life as Lycos once described to him in a poem? Lycos was so beautiful and so gentle. He would be a fine King even if he didn’t rule them completely. He would still be an Alpha. Jimmy was just being a fucking asshole and Lycos didn’t deserve that.

“Seven”

Lycos looked back at Ronin who was breaking free.

“Oooo……. The big kitty is mad over teasing his little woman……. Ronin you are robbing the cradle……..”

“Six”

That was all the insults Ronin could take for his chosen mate before Ronin broke loose and broke off the top of the limousine. Suddenly not only was the roof off, but everyone could see the bare asses of the men being spanked as pants flew back on quickly and Ronin had Jimmy on the floor with his claws in his neck as blood pooled on each side. One was deep within the center of his throat, but it was nothing. They would heal. The kitty couldn’t kill him; just maim his mate a bit since they were bound.

“Apologize now to Lycos! Take it back wolf or I will kill you……”

Ronin roared at Jimmy who was shocked than started laughing.

“Come on Ronin, quit messing around. You can’t beat me and you know it.”

Lycos grasped Ronin by his shoulder only to have Ronin snarl at him to let go. Ronin was gone and there was only a feral male who protected what he felt was his.

“TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!”

Ronin roared as the whole car shook off the road careening right into a telephone pole. Everyone stopped and looked in shock at Ronin who looked gigantic over the top of Jimmy with his wings spread wide as humans ran in fear at the scene. The Elders had to act fast as they threw the barrier up to cover the scene before it became worse than it already was.

“Jimmy take it back, whatever you said, take it back.”

Alistair stated softly as Jimmy’s eyes went black as the two young men went into battle mode.

“Never, he doesn’t deserve the perfection of our family who is mine to deflower, not Ronin’s to have. Sesshoumaru wants his precious Lycos to have a son created of pure Inu blood so that his perfect boy will be just as he is. Ronin is just a fucking cat not a full canine so it is up to me to pup the snob.”

Jimmy was pissed at Ronin and hadn’t meant those words. He just hated being pinned by anyone. Especially a fucking cat as Ronin sat up looking hurt. Tsukiya grasped Jimmy by the collar of his shirt snarling in fury.

“You take that back Jimmy and everything else you said! You take it back or I will hate you! You are a prejudice bastard if you feel that way! Unmate me from you now or apologize you asshole! I swear if you do not than I never want to see you again!”

Tsukiya was crying. Jimmy hung his head down as Ronin fell to the floor in tears. How could Jimmy say such a thing?

“I am sorry Ronin. I didn’t mean it and I take it all back. I am sorry too Lycos.”

Lycos sat with Ronin frowning up at Jimmy.

“Father made Coty leave didn’t he? Then you dare call me a snob. It was all of your snobbery that threw away my life and now you do this Father? I wish you were here so I could tell you what I think of your damn plan.”

Lycos got out of what was left of the limousine pulling Ronin along putting an arm around him. It was the first time that Lycos felt protective over someone. He wanted to make Ronin understand that it was not his cat side that was the problem; it was that Lycos just was not ready to love again since he was still broken. Lycos didn’t express himself in public ever, but right now he wanted to hold Ronin to make everything ok again for his silly cat eared brother.

Still, what was said by Jimmy was so damn cruel that Lycos couldn’t believe it. Even out of anger, it had been the worst thing anyone could say to Ronin and to see those golden eyes fall like that. It was like he might as well have just killed all the glory that was left in the beautiful cat with golden Angel wings.

The least Lycos could do after Ronin defended him was try to make Ronin see he did not hate him for his advances since they were indeed flattering. He was just not ready for them.

“Father must really see me as an abomination Lycos to not allow me to be near you. I should just go away and not come back.”

Ronin stated as he tried to push Lycos away. He would not corrupt his beloved. That was the last thing he wanted to do.

“Shut up you idiot. You are not corrupting anyone and Father is an asshole for saying anything like that. Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but either way I will take care of this. By the way, thanks for defending me.”

Lycos stated softly as he walked with Ronin than stood waiting for the barrier to be lifted as the elders plus everyone else was reprimanding Jimmy. They were not going to the mall after all; they were going back to the damn castle as a new limousine was called since this one was toast. It was a good thing Tahoe was a demon or he would have been dead.

“I really do love you Lycos. I said I would do anything for you and I meant it. Even if you don’t mate me I will still stand by you.”

Ronin stated not looking at Lycos who was a bit taken back. He was shocked in fact just thinking Ronin only wanted to get into his pants all this time.

“So, even if you didn’t mate me you would still be there huh.”

Lycos stated as Ronin nodded not smiling, but vowing if nothing else to himself.

“I will always be by your side. When I love someone I love them. I cannot say I wanted a man either. I didn’t. I didn’t really want Jimmy. I love him, but he is a jerk. I don’t want to be mated to him other than the damn bond and I really like the sex. It isn’t everything though Lycos. I love your poems more and you as you are.’
“I wanted a woman too, but sometimes our demons just decide and you don’t always love who ya think you will. Sometimes you just love someone anyway just because you do and I do love you.”

Lycos found himself timidly taking Ronin’s hand. He wasn’t sure about this, but he could at least be kinder to Ronin not pushing him off so much.

“You can hold my hand and listen to my poems Ronin. Just do not expect sex from me or anything else. Still you can come in my room. I allow it and maybe you can sleep there if you want. Just don’t touch me unless I want you to. Just don’t think I love you like that. I still think you are a jerk.”

Ronin smiled as he held Lycos hand trying to turn away as tears formed. This was a start and it was good enough for now. He would court Lycos properly and get to know him better. Than be there if he needed him. If Ronin wanted sex he knew where to go, but that wasn’t important. He had done that enough times so it was time to try something new.

“Thank you for trusting me.”

Lycos frowned as the barrier faded and the new limousine arrived.

“I don’t, but you can earn it.”

Ronin frowned, but then smiled. This was ok and it was indeed becoming a much better day.

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

Sesshoumaru was whimpering as they pushed him into the limousine taking him away from his lands that were being ‘destroyed’ as far as he was concerned. It was a big mess and he wanted it to end.

Ronin didn’t care though not wishing to speak to the man who would say such things about his beloved. How could he be such a cold prick? At the same time he was thinking all of this Ronin held Lycos’ hand while his beautiful Lycos read his book. It was allowed and he would take advantage of it.

Jimmy snarled at Ronin.

“Look I told you to let it go now do it before I pound you to the floor Ronin.”

Ronin snorted.

“Tell Mr. High and Mighty that shit and I will. You are supposed to rule us so act like a King.”

Jimmy sighed. This was not going to go over well. Instead it was Arashi who brought up the subject with Sesshoumaru wondering if it is true.

“Sesshoumaru, are you prejudice against other kinds of demons?”

Touga stopped playing thumb wars with Alistair to stare at his Father.

’Oh great, here it comes the fight from hell.’

Sesshoumaru stopped fretting over the lands and looked at his Grandfather.

“No, why would you say that about me?”

Jimmy went to speak up when Shippo chimed in.

“Oh, Coty, of course and Jimmy walked in at just the right moment to hear that line too. I thought we fixed that problem.”

Shippo stated, but apparently Jimmy did not go over their conversation with the others yet.

“What are you all talking about? Of course I am not prejudice. I hate everyone except for my pack and sometimes I even hate them so how the hell could I be prejudice?”

Sesshoumaru stated angrily looking at Jimmy in fury. What the hell did the pup say this time?

“You said that you wanted Lycos to only be mated to another Inu demon to create pure blood Inu pups.”

Ronin growled out as he watched Lycos drop his book putting a hand over his face in embarrassment. Everyone was causing such a scene.

“Ronin just shut up. I do not want you to defend me right now. Can’t we just let it go?”

Shippo growled at them all to calm down.

“That was not what had been said. It was Coty trying to let Lycos know that she didn’t want to be mated anymore to him. Coty was promised and fell in love with her betrothed. She isn’t into the pacifist ways and liked hunting. She just didn’t have the heart to tell him and we all discussed this. You remember that week Sesshoumaru since Jimmy wouldn’t talk to you for months.”

Sesshoumaru sighed. What a mess this was.

“Ronin, no one is prejudice against cats here since I love your Mother who is one and no one thinks that way anymore. I have enough pure blood Inu’s to cover the continent. Why would I need my perfection to do more than what is required of his station in life other than find happiness?”

Ronin sat back then looked at Jimmy pointing an accusing finger in his direction.

“You did this and you were wrong! Maybe next time before you open that big fat mouth of yours, you should listen to the whole conversation since you are always going off on people Jimmy!”

Jimmy sat back in his chair and Arashi did to as everyone went back to ignoring each other except for their mates. It was only Ronin and Lycos who were not fully mated to anyone. Luna and Raiden already solidified their bonds fully mating to Jimmy’s pack. It worked for them, but Ronin just liked being bonded to them all so he could have fun since there was only one for him.

“Will you quit reading over my shoulder Ronin and get your own damn book.”

Lycos muttered as he scooted away only to have Ronin sigh letting go of his hand to try to find something else to do. He had a whole agenda planned when they got back home. It would be so much easier to be there seducing Lycos than trying to get comfortable in an overcrowded limo.

“Yes since you busted up the last one.”

Jimmy stated with a smirk. For once he could pick at the damn cat that was consistently annoying him. Ronin then attacked Jimmy for no reason as they wrestled on the floor as everyone ignored them. This was just typical pups doing what boys do. Tsukiya sat next to Lycos and sighed.

“You really should just tell them Lycos. It would make things easier on everyone and fact is after Coty, well you are not the same.”

Lycos huffed.

“Yes I know. I will deal with it when the time comes. Until then I will make everyone suffer since they do it to me. If I had my way of course I would be worlds away from here.”

Tsukiya felt bad that Lycos wasn’t going to bend. If Lycos didn’t tell them soon then they would find out anyway later. Lycos was still younger then all of them not growing as fast as they did and had still not hit the season yet. It was the only reason every male in the car was not clawing their way to get to Lycos at that moment.

“Your season will be this spring so I suggest you really think about a mate my dear.”

That was all Tsukiya stated as Lycos frowned hating being reminded of such dribble. He would hide himself in a steel cave with a huge electric fence that zapped any demon coming close if he had to so that he could remain a virgin. He was physically younger than them all, but he was twice their intellect and would run circles around them if he had to in order to have his way.

When they stopped at the mall everyone got out and the elders snorted at the place. It looked like a giant hovel with humans as well as demons who thought they were humans buzzing about the place dressed in rags.

“They don’t have clothing at all poor things. We really should help them. Are you sure this is the styles or have we fallen so low in our duty that we could not get them suitable fashions to cover themselves with Megan. It is so heartbreaking.”

Eurwen stated as she eyed the small humans running about with young women in practically nothing with shorts that went up into places no short should go. Megan laughed at the women who were so concerned while the males were getting whiplash.

“Wow, that one has quite the………………..”

The Chief was going to mention as he eyed a lovely wolf demon woman with long dark hair swaying in the breeze wearing quite the revealing halter top and white shorts showing off her tan curvy self with legs that kept going up. His wife pelted him in the chest before he finished that sentence.

“Yes dear she does. Shall we go in?”

Khristel stated as she dragged her husband into the mall by a handful of his hair. She may not be able to train or change some things, but her man was wrapped around her little finger as she knew him so well that the Chief couldn’t tie his own bootlaces without her.

Megan snickered a bit as did Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru wanted to stay in the limo and coerce the driver to go back to the castle, but taking a hint from Khristel, Megan and Inuyasha dragged him by two lengths of his hair as he followed them pouting the whole way.

“This is not what I want to do today and I will get my revenge for this. Stupid contractors……… stupid parents……… stupid courts……….. stupid ball……………”

Sesshoumaru stated complaining the whole time as he was going to whimper the whole damn month until this was over with. Stupid ancestors came here to ruin his life.
