Too Much Time On Their Hands

After going to the mall they had the unfinished ballroom completely full with boxes and bags of all sorts of things. The elders loved it after all as all the men including the skeptic Chief found they loved Victoria’s Secret as the Chief looked at the tiny panties called ‘thongs’ and ‘g strings’. He made his Khristel try them on and accidently ripped one with a claw throwing it back on the table whistling like it never happened hoping no one would notice.

“Oh the gowns there were absolutely nothing like I thought they would be Khristel. I was expecting much more coverage and they were so cheap. I am glad we are going to order the accessories in from that Bloomingdales catalog as well as that Armani catalog for the men. I would have done so with the gowns, but they were not what I imagined although I must say the wedding dresses that were stunning. I do not see why anyone would only wear them for one day.”

Eurwen sighed and looked at the yards of material she had as well as the ribbons and jewels. They would be shipped to seamstresses later with the designs that the ladies required.

“Oh for goodness sake Morgwen, we do not need to order anything from the magazines. I will have the servants make things suitable for us. They will match the styles, but these are much better colors for all of us.”

There were yards of pure silk, velvet, and true suede. Eurwen opened the many boxes of jewels and pearls. These items were to wear to the ball. The other orders of boxes would be filled with pearls and actual tiny jewels to be added to their gowns. There would be nothing fake or gaudy like those glass beads although Megan felt they were going overboard.

Sesshoumaru frowned at Megan’s concern with the frivolity of this endeavor saying this was nothing and that it wasn’t even that much money they spent when most balls cost thousands to millions of dollars more. This was actually a small gathering and there were at least four thousand demons showing up including grandkids that had kids of their own since unfortunately although the invitations went out, a good three thousand wrote back stating they could not come. The Tashio family was gigantic, successful, and wealthy.

For this grand ball they spent over two million and to Sesshoumaru that was chump change. He had billions and it was still growing with his many companies as well as his investments. Sesshoumaru figured there would be at least another hundred grand or more that would be coming out of the accounts. It was already budgeted in as an extra expense.

“Inuyasha come with me and bring your tessaiga.”

Touga stated to his son as he headed out to the beach behind the castle.

“I don’t have it here.”

Inuyasha interjected as he followed his Father outside.

“Will it to you son. It is not difficult. It won’t come to me anymore since it is now your sword.”

Touga instructed Inuyasha to close his mind to all things including surfing which was very hard to do considering these were awesome waves rolling up to the beach. Still Inuyasha kept trying. It took a long time, but he was able to gather his thoughts into only one. The sword itself was coming and he could feel it as his palm itched to feel that familiar hilt once again in his hand.

Meanwhile at the ballroom things were getting interesting since the decorators just arrived. It was Jimmy’s third born son Brandon Kyle Thomas Tashio and his mate who was the family jeweler Tashi Rey Lin Tashio the seventieth born son of the Tashio clan through Inuyasha and Kagome during their wild years when mates were sharing amongst one another.

“Bonjour mes amours. Ce bâtiment sera mon chef-d'oeuvre. Je ferai une impression que non est jamais ici oubliera. Ce lieu crie pour faire me le briller.’
“S'il vous plaît, vous tous doit partir si je peux converger. Je souhaite commencer mon art. Tashi les enlève tout de ma vue tout de suite.’
“Oh, ne pas oublier votre Tashi de travail. J'ai besoin de vous faire le chadeliers. Ils doivent être parfaits pour faire cette pièce dans notre plus grand triomphe. Nous serons dans toutes les revues de nouveau Tashi ! Je peux le sentir juste !

Tashi just looked at his mate in annoyance.

“S'il vous plaît parler l'anglais vous idiot. Tout le monde voici fâcher avec votre parade.”

Brandon sighed.

“Look son if you don’t speak English I am going to kick your French ass!”

Jimmy stated looking at Brandon like he was going to kill him.

“Well, me pardonner pour habiter. I will speak English for those who have no understanding of such a beautiful language since you are all uncivilized dogs anyway. Les canines n'a pas de manière et souhaite pour nous être comme eux. C'est plutôt pathétique, mais tel est la vie. Would you rather I speak in Japanese? Then I shall. 地獄に行ってくださいあなたたち非芸術的な混血児〔雑種〕。”

Brandon stated frowning at his Father. He made him live in France with his mate in Paris only to have him speak their same language. Would he prefer they speak in Japanese? The uncouth fools did not understand the artist.


“C'est pathétique comment je dois changer pour tous les autres. Tashi get yourself together man. We have much work to do and obviously we have to do it around ces idiots.”


Megan wandered over to where Brandon was giving him a big hug from behind.

“You are still my little Brandon are you not?”

Megan purred in Brandon’s ear as his elf like ears twitched while his long silver hair was moved to the side for Megan to tickle the back of his neck making him cringe a bit. Only one person got away with this and he adored her.

“La mère que vous êtes toujours la femme espiègle. Je vous adore.”


Brandon turned around and hugged his Mother lifting her into the air. Tashi blushed at his mate since he would never do that to an elder even if she was beautiful.

“And you are a little French snob. You know I was no good at French.”

Megan tweaked Brandon on the nose. Brandon blushed a bit since even he thought his mom was hot and it was too weird trying to explain the mess of their relationship.

“I hear Grandfather Arashi, the Great Chief, and Great Uncle Balachandra all wanted both Aiko and Brandon to be blood cleansed. Brandon doesn’t want that and neither do I. We all accepted the weirdness of things a long time ago. I mean you both are over thousands of years old so it ain’t like some damn human. You and Jimmy don’t even act like you two are related like that plus it is the same with the others so what is the big deal?”

Tashi stated frowning. He liked his bastard mate the way he was. Brandon was always a pain in the ass that was strange and Tashi liked him that way.

Megan rolled her eyes.

“Tashi, it isn’t like we are taking away our titles we are just making certain your pups are not born with mixed blood that could cause defects. We were lucky in our pups and it is for the best. Of course I will always be Brandon’s Mother, but I can’t very well marry my Jimmy. That would be ludicrous. The cleansing will be for all of us and just in case such things were to happen again with you young things than it would be something we could do for you. Apparently this was all done during a bad scroll moment and we have to find that scroll.”

Jimmy yelled across the room as he was helping Tsukiya roll out the carpeting wanting to help with this rather than stand around which was stupid.

“I blew it up Mom! Quit bringing that shit up would ya? Damn….she is going to ruin our son making him think I am an asshole.”

Tsukiya smirked as did Ronin and Luna who were helping out.

“Too late for that sweetheart….. We all know you are an asshole and that you got from our Fathers.”

Ronin looked at Lycos who was sitting on the floor reading his book not helping with a damn thing. No one really noticed him except Ronin and Jimmy.

“Lycos, why don’t you get off your lazy but and help us out?”

Jimmy snarled out as Ronin shrugged. He couldn’t always stand up for Lycos for everything. There was a lot of carpet to roll out and the tacks were already set so it would make this much easier.

“Come on Lycos, I will help you. Then this job won’t take so damn long and we can sit on something more comfortable than hard wood or concrete.”

Lycos sighed putting down the book and got up to help Ronin out. They would annoy him all week long if he didn’t do anything. Plus Ronin was right it would be a hell of a lot more comfortable to sit on carpet than on this hard wood.

“Fine Ronin, just don’t touch me a lot ok? Damn, can’t even finish my book.”

Ronin smirked as Lycos got up to help out. Brandon stopped what he was doing and was looking at what he considered to be a vision of pure beauty.

“Tashi, le ciel lui-même a ouvert et je crois que j'a vu juste un Ange. Ah, une telle beauté. Qui est cet Ange ? Tashi I think I am in love.”

Tashi stopped his mouth from gaping as he stared at the young Inu he no longer recognized. The young man was indeed perfection.

“That Angel looks real to me and just like Sesshoumaru. None of us do, but that one does and so different from us all. That creature is almost perfect with those ice blue eyes and such hair. The hair floats along with the perfect metals of pale gold and silver. It is like watching a jewel come to life that is already polished to that perfect edge. Who is this indescribable jewel?”

Megan smirked at Lycos. He indeed was the most beautiful child and so withdrawn. These two could touch him with a ten foot pole since everyone, especially Ronin, was vying to be Lycos’ first lover.

“Ah, that is Lycos my dears and indeed the perfection of your great Fathers with a slight touch of me in there. There is nothing as beautiful, but you cannot touch the pup boys. Ronin will rip you both to shreds since he is determined to mate Lycos. You would also have to fight your Father since Jimmy wants first rites on Lycos’ virginity.”

Tashi’s mouth dropped at that word. How the hell could something that attractive go untouched for so damn long? What a prize they would all be fighting for. A virgin beauty of that caliber was worth being maimed over.

“Oui Tashi, je consens que cet Ange est la perfection pur. Il est l'art dans le mouvement. Je le veux.”

Brandon took the words right out of Tashi’s mouth. He wanted him too and could hardly believe that this was a man. The way Lycos walked Tashi swore that Lycos was a beautiful goddess.

Lycos ignored the people staring at him as he rolled out the carpet with Ronin. Ronin watched as Lycos’ hips swayed a bit more when he sauntered over. It was strange, but Ronin chose to ignore it.

“So Lycos, is tonight good for us to have that sleepover we discussed?”

Ronin asked and Lycos shrugged. It was no big deal since half of them were in and out of each other’s rooms all the time. Lycos had his own shower and bathroom so he didn’t have to share with the others. As long as Ronin didn’t touch him too much then it was ok.

“Fine, if you want to. Just don’t get any ideas I like you or anything. I am doing this because I don’t mind that you like my poems and stuff. Don’t think for one minute though that I will just be your mate or I will kick your ass.”

Lycos stated pointing a finger into Ronin’s chest. Ronin was so damn happy that he rushed thought the project with Lycos for once trying to keep up as they laughed their asses off when they raced Jimmy and the others beating them hands down. Within two hours the whole place had new carpet.

The beautiful red, gold, and beige carpet with intricate designs on each length that meshed together made the room look elegant. The walls were being plastered with white and gold paper with kanji designs indicating honor, courage, and duty with the designs of the Crest of the Chrysanthemum in long red lines separating everything in their bright contrast to such delicate pale designs.

While all this was going on Touga was getting Inuyasha prepared to do the adamant barrage by sheer will rather than just because he had an enemy present. There should not be a single technique that Inuyasha could not accomplish with that sword and it only proved that his inability to produce such a simple command still meant he had yet to unlock its full power. Therefore, Inuyasha, like his bother stated, was still not a full grown man until he could officially make his sword pay attention to all of his commands. Sesshoumaru had similar problems with tensaiga, but Touga was here now to show him all that the mighty fangs could do.

“Ok son, I want you to try again. You have only made a mess of the beach and that we fixed a few times. The backlash wave you seem to have well in hand when there is a demon present. It should come anyway without the aura. You command the sword it does not command you. Every power you boys possess you can use on your swords. Sesshoumaru is right when he says a Master of a Weapon is only a Master when he truly understands what he is wielding. You cannot become a Master over your weapon until you know it in every sense. It is more than just a way to dispatch your foes. In everything in life you can find knowledge or ability that throughout your existence has power of its own and as such it has great purpose in your life. Every day you should feel something new, see something new, and be watching as the world continues to change. There is always something in life that is worth learning about and knowing so that you can become ruler of your environment.’
“I would not leave you with a foolish object that I had not myself considered to be worthwhile. I did not make any mistakes in what I did or why I gave you the weapons you now hold.”

Inuyasha looked at his Father and frowned.

“You are speaking like Miroku and Sesshoumaru Dad. Just quit talking riddles and tell me what the fuck I am supposed to do.”

Touga chuckled at this since Inuyasha was just being impatient. He understood just fine, he just wanted the easy way of things.

“Son, you know what I am saying so implement it and quit acting the fool.”

Inuyasha pouted not liking that at all, but tried again to get the power to work from his sword. At that moment Inuyasha had a great idea that turned into an all out plan. What if he got the barrage to kill that blasted bastard of a shark that was out there somewhere waiting to get another bite out of him? The damn thing took his blood so it was probably now a damn demon shark so it was out there. Inuyasha just knew the bastard was waiting for him.

“Adament Barrage!!!!!”

Inuyasha growled out roaring a bit like always as thousands of adamant shards went right into the ocean. Touga smiled a bit that Inuyasha got it, but frowned that they were going to have to go into the fucking ocean to get them out.

“Good job son……….”

Touga stated almost sounding convinced that he was giving Inuyasha a compliment.

“There ya stupid fish! I will get you I swear it and if that didn’t hurt then you just wait pal!”

Inuyasha yelled out at the ocean as Touga sighed looking out into the water wondering how far and how deep they went. It was time for some deep sea fishing.
