Alexiel smiles sitting up."we should head back..."
"I guess so" Kirara says and stands. "Why don't you ask him what he's planning to announce. I know he'll tell you."
"what do I care what he announces?it's not like I like him or anything.he's just my brother."alexiel shrugs getting up,knowing that the lie sounded realdious,after all she did leave riku in his care.
"No. you don't like him at all." Kirara says sarcasticly. "And I know you're just as curious as I am. Come on! What could it hurt?"
"no actually I rather not....beacuse if it's about the mating season coming up,there's justsomethings I dont need to picture."
"Then dig a fork into your brain afterwards."
"always works...wait a sec!why dont you ask him!?"
"Because I might not like the answer! This way I can think about what I'm going to say to him! It's the perfect plan!"
"hey!I got a better plan!let's get miroku to ask him then I dont haveta think about what he wants and you'll still get an answer!"
"Will he tell Miroku?"
Alexiel thinks about it."maybe."
"What abotu Inuyasha? There might be a better chance for that one, but how do we get him to do it?"
"hmmm....ice cream!I'll bribe him with it!"
"He does love his food. We'll do it! I love plotting. It's just so much fun!"
"ice cream....and sushi!"
"Yes! That too!"
Alexiel's stomach growls,she was hungry....again.
"First the kitchens! Then answers!" Kirara says bounding off towards the mansion.
Alexiel laughs running after her,and up the stairs.
Kirara quickly slaps together a sandwhich.
Alexiel sits down with a huge tub of ice cream eating it straight from there,no bowl required.
'you eat too much ice cream."
"if you think I eat alot you should see inuyasha."
"I have...It took me a week to get the ramen out of my fur."
aleixel laughs."thats funny."
"To you. It hurt like crap. I had a bald spot for about a month before the hair grew back."
Alexiel laughs."that sucks.good thing sesshomaru didnt see you he might not like bald demoness's."
"Ha. Ha." Kirara says sarcastically.
"well then again it's you...he might."alexiel smiles.
"Fine! I'll go look for him. I can't take anymore hints!" Kirara throws up her hands and walks out of the rrom in search of Sesshoumaru.
Alexiel laughs going back to her ice cream.
"She's not all that annoying. Her heart's in the right place." Sesshoumaru says as he joins Kirara as she stomps down the hall.
"Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when you would defend her." Kirara responds.
"is it my fault i want the kirara/sesshomaru relationship?"alexiel says to herself going in seach of her own mate and child.
Sesshoumaru shrugs. "Now there are a few things I would like to ask you."
"Does it have anything to do with the mystery announcements that have the lords in a titter?" Kirara says innocently.
Miroku whimpers as alexiel starts playing with his ears,his weak spot.sango was watching riku.
"You're smarter than I thought, and yes." Sesshoumaru answers.
"Then hurry up and tell me." Kirara says irritably. She was in the mood for a good fight right about now.
"EKKK!!!"alexiel laughs/yells running past them chased by a agiated but equally aroused miroku.
"Interesting. Now tell me." Kirara says as she watches Miroku and Alexiel run past.
"So you haven't even told her yet? I'm suprised." Sesshoumaru grins.
Alexiel ran into a nearby room slamming the door in miroku's face with a thud."OWW!alexi that hurt!"miroku pouts.
"I was planning to, but someone's nervous breakdown got in my way." Kirara accuses as they walk calmly by Miroku.
"That's another thing we need to discuss." Sesshoumaru says and Kirara raises an eyebrow. "No, I'm not going insane, so don't even bother to ask."
alexiel pulls open the door."are you talking about me?"alexiel says seriously.
"Not at the moment." Kirara says waving her off. "You were saying?"
"Oh, yes." Sesshoumaru begins as they both turn the corner headed for the training courts. "I was hoping to make a few announcements at the wedding. Hopefully before the tournament so the anger can be worked out through closely monitored fights."
"good..."alexiel smiles before smothering miroku in kisses.
"You've been saying that you have these wonderful announcements to make, but you have told me what they are as of yet. Planning to do that anytime soon?" Kirara inquires.
"Yes I do. How do you feel about telling the world, after alerting Alexiel and the other's first." Sesshoumaru suggests and turns to watch her reaction.
"not fair!"alexiel giggles running away from miroku's tickling...right smack into sesshomaru's chest."OW!"
Sesshoumaru raises an eyebrow. "Conversation taking place here."
"Sounds good to me." Kirara answers trying to ignore Alexiel.
Alexiel looks up at him from her place on the floor at his feet."well sorry lord and ladybut I was being chased!"
Kirara rolls her eyes. "I guess now would be fine then."
"Alexiel. I think there is something we need to tell you.: Sesshoumaru says.
"what is it?"aleixel says agiated standing up.
"Actually. I'll tell her later. Sorry, Alexiel." Kirara says quickly and grabs Sesshoumaru's arm leading him away.
"Chicken?" Sesshoumaru whispers.
Alexiel scowls running in front of them,stopping hands on her hips."ok spill.you told me you had something to tell me so tell me!"
"Now look what you started." Kirara accuses Sesshoumaru.
"What I started!? You said yes! I didn't know that you were going to chicken out at the last second." Sesshoumaru answers.
WEEELLLL?!?!"Alexiel says angerly tapping her foot,ears twitching.
"1.....2.....3....SPLIT!!!" Kirara yells and they both run off in different directions.
"URGH!!!!"alexiel yells running after sesshomaru tackiling him/hugging him.
"Hey! Why'd you go after me!?" Sesshoumaru asks trying to pry her off of him.
alexiel rolls off sitting up."because I knew I could catch you."alexiel says matter-of-factly.
"Remind me to kill her next time I see her." Sesshoumaru mutters.
"why?dont you love her?"alexiel says slyly.
"Doesn't mean I can't kill her."
"dont!I need a bridemaid!"alexiel pouts.
"Then I'll kill her afterwards..."
alexiel's ears go down,and her head drops."dont do that..."
Sesshoumaru sighs. "You know I would never do something like that to her."
Alexiel looks up smiling."I know!but your face was so cute!"
"Oi. How do I put up with you people without going insane?"
"with paitentce and a touch of insanity?"alexiel smiles.
"Most likely."
alexiel laughs,"okok what is it?"
"What is what?" Sesshoumaru asks coyly.
Alexiel's ear twitches."what were you going to tell me?"
"Something really dumb. You wouldn't be interested." Sesshoumaru says 'Dang...maybe this is harder than it looks.'
Alexiel scratches her ear."sesshomaru...you should know by now I'm a hopeless gossip...almost anything interests me."
"Well this wouldn't. Now if you don't mind, I was having a conversation. Well, until the person I was talking to ran off." Sesshoumaru says.
Alexiel smiles."pwease tell me?"
"It's not my place and you know it. I told you that you ran after the wrong demon."
Alexeil growls."FINE!I"LL GO FIND HER!!!!"Alexiel runs off in seach of kirara,leaving miroku just shaking his head.
Kirara hides in the equiptment shed at the training courts. "she'll never think to look fo r me in here..."
Alexiel was running around angry and confused."KIRARA!"
Miroku looks at sesshomaru smiling."so you wouldnt tell her...will you tell me?"
Kirara cringes with guilt. "No...I won't come out...too nervous..." She mutters to herself.
"I suppose I could tell you something. What is it that you want to know?" Sesshoumaru asks Miroku. 'He's going to have to be specific, or I'll be a dead for telling out of the blue.' he thinks to himself.
"okok what were you going to tell alexi?"
"I wasn't going to tell her anything. Kirara was. I was just going to stand there looking pretty."
miroku snorts."you pretty?"he teases.
"That's what people say. They also say I'm gay, which then makes me think about getting a haircut, but that's beside the point."
Miroku laughs."that might be a good idea..."
"I've been debating about doing that for quite some time now."
"since alexiel looks good with short hair,I'm betting you'd look ok."
Sesshoumaru shrugs. "But how would I manage to keep away all the angry fangirls. Most of them don't seem to mind if I'm gay or not..."
"that's what you have kirara for."miroku says seriously."and I'll take all the fangirls...."
"I don't think Alexiel would appreciate that, and what about the fanguys...Want those too?"
"uh...no thanks."miroku smiles."but I'm sure alexiel and kirara wont mind taking them."he teases.
"I don't know about Alexiel, but I'm pretty sure that Kirara would mind....I'd become chopped dog `a-la-mode."
"yea.I'm pretty sure both of us would be dead meat..."
"Think Alexiel found her yet?" Sesshoumaru asks with a grin on his face. Maybe Miroku wasn't so bad after all.
Miroku's grin matchs sesshomaru's."let's go see...."
"This should prove to be very interesting..."
"yea..."miroku laughs outloud looking out one of the windows seeing alexiel run around.
"Does it look like she's found her yet?" Sesshoumaru asks looking over his shoulder.
"no...I dont think so..."
Sesshoumaru sticks his head out the window. "Check the equiptment shed! That's the only place I can think of that no one else would."
"Ok!"alexiel smiles and waves running off to look in the shed.
"Nope. Never in a million years." Kirara mutters to herself in the shed.
Alexiel opens the door."KIRARA!?!"
"GAH!!" Kirara tumbles out. "What the...!"
"tell me pwease?"big puppy eyes.
"Tell you what?" Kirara looks around innocently. "And how'd you find me anyways?"
"a little birdy told me."
"Would that little birdy happened to actually be a little doggy?"
"no..."alexiel smiles innocently.
"I'll bet it was."
"no...I think it was miroku..."
"Aw. But I can't kill him."
"but you can kill sesshomaru?"alexiel raises an eyebrow.
"Of course. I could just revive him."
"true.but then he'd kill you for killing him."
"But then I'd come back pissed off to kill him again."
"how'd I get stuck with this voilent bunch?"alexiel shakes her head.
"Karma."
"I musta done something in a past life to piss someone off..."Alexiel teases.
"Or maybe we did and being stuck with you is our punishment."
alexiel makes a face."now why would that be?I thought you guys were always good..."
"Who lied to you?"
"inuyasha."
"Can I kill him at least?"
Alexiel thinks about it."go for it."
"Score!"
alexiel just shakes her head."why dont we go find that brother of mine?the cute one..."she teases meaning sesshomaru.
Kirara mock gasps. "You mean you have ANOTHER brother!"
alexiel giggles."yea the idiot one and the cute one...though sometimes the cute ones an idiot."
"And sometimes the idiot's cute."
"very true.They're my cute idiotic brothers!"alexiel says going back outside.
"That they are." Kirara agrees and follows her.
Alexiel laughs throwing a rock at the window miroku was looking out of."COME ON YOU TWO!COME TALK TO US!"
"Think we should do it?" Sesshoumaru asks Miroku.
miroku shrugs."matters what she means by talking...."
"...Or what she wants to talk about." Sesshoumaru answers.
Miroku yells back."what do you want?!?"
Alexiel makes the biggest sweetest puppy eyes."it's a secret!"
"That could be bad." Sesshoumaru comments. "Since when has a woman having a secret they want to tell ever been a good thing?"
"well...last time she had a secret to tell me was when riku happened..."miroku smiles walking towards the door to go outside.
"Yeah I guess that could be classified as a good thing."
Sesshoumaru admits, following him.
"that's true,...."miroku smiles thoughts drifting to more..uh...perverted things.
"Mind telling me what you want to tell them?" Kirara asks Alexiel.
alexiel smiles."I have nothign to say to sesshomaru.I just wanted miroku to come down."
"Ah. Works for me then." Kirara answers.
"see?I get my mate to myself and you-well you get sesshomaru."
"Why do I feel like I'm getting the raw end of the deal?"
"why's that?you get sesshy all to yourself to do whatever you want with..."
"Hmmm? Oh nevermind."
"Ok..."alexiel shrugs.
"You called?" Sesshoumaru asks as he walks up to them.
alexiel grabs miroku's arm pulling him away."let's go for a walk dear...."
"Why do i feel as though we've been set up again." Kirara asks almost to herself as she watches them leave.
"Probably because we have." Sesshoumaru answers.
"think it worked?"
"probably."miroku smiles wrapping his arms around alexiel.
"Was there anything else you were going to tell me ealier?" Kirara asks.
"Well, there was what you wanted to do about your father. I'm sure that he'll see you eventually." Sesshoumaru explains.
Meanwhile....miroku had somehow convinced alexiel to go skinny dipping in the river(not that it took much to get her to go)
"What's he going to to do in frint of a group of people? I say we let him stew for a while." Kirara suggests.
"And then the big announcement." Sesshoumaru finishes. Kirara nods.
miroku and alexiel crawl out,and before he could get to his clothes alexiel grabs them pulling them on,and grabs her own clothes running off laughing.
Miroku scowls trying to decide what to do.
"Sounds like a plan. So how do we diffuse his rage in the meantime, and don't think that tournament will be enough. You've never had the pleasure of seeing his anger directed at you in such a way that he could actually beat you into the ground." Kirara comments.
"And you have?" Sesshoumaru asks and Kirara shrugs.
Alexiel runs by them tripping,landing face first in the ground at sesshomaru's feet.
"None of your business." Kirara says and kneels down to Alexiel. "Everything ok?"
Sesshoumaru growls a bit, but he remains silent.
Alexiel sits up rubbing her nose."uh...yea I think"
"What'd you do this time?" Kirara asks.
Sesshoumaru sighs. "It was obviously something, now if you'll just come with me..."
"No, I want to know what's up with Alexiel." Kirara answers without even looking at him.
"nothing...."she sighs trying to hide her own clothes,then realizes it wont work,cause she's wearing miroku's.
"Hate to inform you, Alexiel, but Miroku's clothes don't look too good on you." Kirara giggles.
Sesshoumaru rolls his eyes.
"but he looks so good in mine..."alexiel giggles.
"Aw, but I'll never get to see, will I? Seeing as you seem to be holding your clothes as well." Kirara does everything short of bursting out laughing.
"Images I didn't need to see." Sesshoumaru shakes his head.
Alexiel giggles trying to look innocent."OOPS!"
Miroku:"ALEXIEL!!!!!!!!"
"Dear gods woman! Give the guy his clothes back!" Sesshoumaru yells.
Kirara rolls on the ground laughing.
alexiel tosses her clothes to him."there put those on!!!"
Miroku growls and reclunatnly puts them on.
"My poor brain had been scarred for life." Sesshoumaru mutters.
Kirara continues laughing.
Miroku tackles alexiel and starts tickling her."give me my clothes!"
"n-no!"
"You were right! He does look good inyour clothes!" Kirara manages to get out in between bursts of laughter.
"I think I'm going blind." Sesshoumaru mumbles.
between giggles alexiel gets out."hey sesshomaru go blind deaf and mute,then we dont haveta listen to you."
"Gladly." Sesshoumaru says.
Kirara goes into another fit of giggles.
Alexiel laughs crawling behind sesshomaru's knees to get away from miroku.
Miroku laughs rubbing her ear,making her purr.
"Could we not do this around my legs please?" Sesshoumaru asks.
"Oh go jump off a cliff." Kirara says through her giggles.
"Sure thing."
Alexiel giggles and just for kicks,she leans agianst sesshomaru's leg purring louder.
miroku tries really hard not to laugh.
"Cliff here I come!" Sesshoumaru yells and takes off.
Kirara laughs even harder...if that's possible that is...
Miroku laughs stopping and alexiel snaps out of it looking around."where'd sesshomaru go?"
"Something about a cliff." Kirara says as her giggles begin to subside.
"oh..."alexiel s miles scratching her ear.
"Think he'll really do it?"
"uh.."alexiel tries to focus as miroku rubs her ears again,sitting her in his lap."probably...not...."
"Didn't think so."
"yea...."alexiel purs leaning against miroku.
"I'll just be going then." Kirara stands up and brushes herself off.
Miroku smiles."thanks...."
Alexiel's lost in her own little world.
Kirara wonders over to the training courts where she finds Sesshoumaru setting up a few targets.
after a few mintues
Miroku and alexiel sit up cahnging back into their normal clothes
"Doesn't it get a bit boring to hit inimate objects?" Kirara says boredly.
"Are you volunteering to take their place?" Sesshoumaru asks. Kirara shrugs."
Alexiel and miroku walk by walking arm in arm,"well...whatcha think?"miroku whispers.
"I dunno...to early to tell...."
"So what if I am?"
"Bring it on." Sesshoumaru gets in a fighting stance and Kirara lunges.
alexiel and miroku sit down nearby enjoying the fight."well this will be interesting..."
Sesshoumaru moves to the left and whips out his...ah...whip. Kirara tucks and rolls jumping up and lunging again. Sesshoumaru moves, but Kirara saw that coming and shoots fire out under him so that he had to change course...right into her fist. His legs comes up and smacks into her leg and she falls to the ground, rolling away as fast as she can.
"well ast least we wont haveta worry about someone else killing him while kirara's around..."aleixel smiles settling in miroku's arms.
Kirara bounds to her feet and moves, easily dodging the whip once more. Sesshoumaru growls and runs straigh for her fist out. Kirara drops down into the splits and extends her claws. They rake against Sesshoumaru's side. At the last second Sesshoumaru raises the foot that wasn't already past her and bings it into her stomach. He then hurries out of range.
"ocuh that's gotta hurt..."miroku mutters in alexiel's hair.
Kirara flips out of her spilts and whirls around in time to raise a wall of fire that Sesshoumaru alomst run into. He changes his course at the last second and jumps up over it. Kirara meets him in mid-air and the both punch each other in the face, landing on diffrent sides of the fire-wall that was quickly diminishing.
Alexiel sighs getting bored fast.
"You're good." Sesshoumaru says out of breath.
"Ditto."
"are you two done?"Alexiel says reclining between miroku's legs her back against his chest.
"For now." Sesshoumaru says andrips off a strip of his kimono to tie up his wound.
"I have a headache." Kirara grabs her head.
Alexiel sits up worried."what's wrong?you ok?"
"I think he broke my nose." Kirara says feeling it, and nodding. "Yup."
"Don't be a baby. It'll heal in like an hour." Sesshoumaru finihses up his own tournaquet.
Alexiel rolsl her eyes."poor baby I wish I healed that fast."
Kirara shrugs. "You asked me what was wrong."
"It's not like I would have actually killed you. Or permanently damaged you." Sesshoumaru says.
"you mighta made her lose some brain cells."alexiel smiles.
"Eh. No one will be able to tell the difference." Sesshoumaru says calmly.
"I'd like to think that someone would." Kirara says a bit annoyed.
Miroku shakes his head at them kissing the back of alexiel's head."they'll annoy each other into insanity dear..."
"of course they will..."
"I take offense to that." Sesshoumaru says and starts for the main bilding.
"I see when I'm not wanted." Kirara follows.
"HEY!wait up!"miroku and alexiel run after them."We were only teasing!"
"Not very smart are they?" Sesshoumaru asks almost to himself.
"Some times I wonder." Kirara answers. They both keep walking.
"that wasnt nice lordsesshomaru."alexiel growls walking by slamming the door in their faces when she and miroku got inside.
They both shrug and change directions. "I think you made her mad."
"Well she's the one that wanted us to spend more time together. I'm sure she'll understand in the long run." Sesshoumaru answers.
Alexiel meanwhile had locked all the doors and barracided herself in sesshomaru's office locking everyone out including miroku
"Now did I really break your nose." Sesshoumaru grins.
"Yes. Hurt like crap too." Kirara nodded then cringed. "I think nodding is a bad move right about now."
