Title:  A Broken Heart Mended With A Touch of Fluff

Chapter Six:  Plane Trip and My Parents

Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha characters. Only Haley and her family and technically, since they’re real people, I don’t really own them. But I’m using them. By the way, thanks for the adds and other stuff. You don’t know how much it means to me that some of y’all actually like my story. Oh, another thing is that if you think I’m going too fast into Sesshy and Haley’s relationship, please tell me so that I can slow down. I’m trying not to go into their relationship way too fast because I don’t really like it when some people do that in their fanfictions. 'How do you like them apples' is what my brother says as in meaning 'ooh burn'. I didn't know if other states used that phrase, but my friends and family do. I just wanted to clear that up. Anywhoo, here’s Chapter Six!

'whenever words look like this' Haley's thinking

"whenever words look like this" it's Haley's inner demon, if someone's not speaking out loud.

“What the hell is that kind of beast?” Sesshomaru asked whenever we approached the plane station. I looked to wear he was gawking at. He was staring at an airplane that was about to take off. The past few days had been difficult and tiring, but I had transformed Sesshomaru and Rin into the two seemingly modern people they looked like on the day we were to be heading for Texas. Of course, only with the exception of Sesshomaru being able to wear his fluff, did I get him used to wearing jeans.

“That’s an airplane,” I explained patiently. “It is what’s going to get us to Texas.” Rin awed at the plane. “It’s so big. How is it going to get us to Texas, Haley? Does it fly like Daddy when he’s in demon form?” she asked.

I looked at Sesshomaru. “I didn’t know you could fly! That’s so cool!” He rolled his eyes. “It is not a really big deal. It’s just an ability I have,” he replied. I put my hands up and smiled. “But it sounds so neat! Why haven’t you told me that you could fly?” I asked. Sesshomaru smirked.

“You never asked.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “That’s not funny, Sesshomaru. Sheesh, where did you get the sarcasm from? You never used to be like that.” Sesshomaru’s smirk grew wider. He said, “I got it from you. You should have known that your sarcastic attitude would have caught up to you.”

I crossed my eyes and stuck out my tongue at him. “Oh, now that’s just silly. Very mature, Haley,” Sesshomaru complained. “Your mom’s very mature!” I retorted. Sesshomaru’s face got confused. “What does that mean?”

“It’s an insult in America. If someone calls you a name or gives you an insult, you make a comeback with the words ‘your mom’, ‘that’s what she said’, ‘your face’, or ‘how do you like them apples’. It is really immature, but you can go on forever if you try,” I explained. Sesshomaru stopped walking and scratched his head. “I still don’t understand.”

I sighed. “Okay, you see, if I called you a jerk, your comeback would be ‘your mom’s a jerk!’. If for some reason you were constantly touching me and poking me and I said ‘stop’, your comeback would be ‘that’s what she said’. If we were shopping and you pointed out a certain shirt that you thought might look good on you, and I said that it looked ugly, your comeback would be ‘your face is ugly’. You could put the words ‘how do you like them apples’ at the end of each of your comebacks if you wanted to.”

“Haley, I would never say that your face is ugly. It’s very beautiful and makes me happy. Plus, I am too sexy to use petty comebacks like those. I would just slash someone with my poison talons if they insulted me, Rin, or you.” Sesshomaru held my face up to his with his hand so that his sunshine golden eyes were boring down in to my lake blue ones. “You called yourself sexy. That’s being over confident of yourself, you know,” I mentioned.

Sesshomaru smirked again. “You keep telling me that I look sexy in modern clothing. I thought it would be okay for me to say it.” I laughed and kissed Sesshomaru. Someone behind us said, “Get a room.”

My dear Sesshomaru snarled at him and replied with, “Your mom wanted to get a room!” The Japanese fellow looked at Sesshomaru like he belonged in an asylum, obviously not getting the joke. Sesshomaru stuck his beloved tongue out at the gentleman, and the man walked away quickly. I laughed my head off once the man was out of ear shot.

Sesshomaru blushed. “I know that was ridiculous. I figured I should not have brought out my talons because we might get thrown out of this place. We can’t afford that, seeing as how Rin and I are the only ones who can convince your mother to let you stay with us.”

Speaking of Rin reminded me that she was not around us at the moment. “Where is Rin?” I asked. Sesshomaru looked around, but could not see Rin. “Daughter? Rin?” he asked. We heard Rin’s laughter in the distance.

Sesshomaru followed the sound and found Rin leaning against a wall with a boy about her age standing in front of her with a hand on the wall. 'Oh no,' I thought. "You better stop him before he kills that boy. Do you know how bad it would be if these people saw a murder right in the middle of a plane station? To add some icing to that cake, if Sesshomaru pulls out his poison talons, someone here would mention that a demon was present and that he should be killed immediately," my inner demon said.

I turned to Sesshomaru to calm him down, but I was too slow. He was on that boy before Rin could even dodge the hand that Sesshomaru clenched around the boy’s neck. “Why are you touching my little girl?” Sesshomaru seethed at the boy. “I am sorry, sir. I will never look at her again. Please, just let me go,” the teenage boy gasped. Sesshomaru’s grip got tighter and tighter.

“Sesshomaru! That’s enough. I think he gets the idea,” I soothingly said. I hoped that I could get through to my love. I didn’t want him to kill anyone. Sesshomaru glanced at me through the corner of his eyes. He released the boy. The young man ran away with his life just barely in contact with him.

“I should have killed that boy.” I grasped Sesshomaru’s hand. “If you had, we would never be able to get to Texas,” I pointed out. Sesshomaru sighed and squeezed my hand. “Rin, let’s go. I think we are supposed to get on our plane soon. If another boy even glances at you, you ignore him. If you fail to do so, I shall kill him. From the looks of it, if you do not ignore these males, a lot of people will be murdered today.”

Rin looked around and noticed many guys checking her out. “Sorry, Daddy. I did not realize how many boys were looking at little, plain me.” Sesshomaru’s face fell. “Honey,” he whispered to her, bending down to look into her eyes. “You are so beautiful. Why would you think boys would even try and not gaze at your face? After Haley put that make up on you, I am surprised that you have not been mauled by boys yet.”

“Thanks Daddy,” Rin said, smiling. “As long as I know that you think I’m pretty, I don’t need other guys thinking it.” She put her arms around Sesshomaru’s neck and he patted her with his right hand. Thinking about Sesshomaru only having a right hand, I was glad that he was wearing a long sleeved hoodie. The torso might have been tight, but the sleeves were very baggy. This way, no one could tell that Sesshomaru’s left arm was missing. Poor Sesshomaru. I could not even imagine not having a left arm.

“Plane Number 32 is about to take off. Anyone that needs to be on this plane must hurry to Gate 60-G.” the intercom blared. Sesshomaru let go of my hand and grabbed Rin’s. “What are we standing around here for?” he asked. “We need to get to Texas!”

As I watched Sesshomaru’s enthusiasm, I realized that Sesshomaru in the past had never been like this. From what I had heard from Inuyasha and Kagome, Sesshomaru had been a quiet, cold hearted killing machine before I came along. Compared to the Sesshomaru that I saw standing before me, I couldn’t even think of Sesshomaru being quiet for two minutes. My non-stop mouth had gained Sesshomaru one, too. From Rin’s face, I believed that she preferred it that Sesshomaru would talk a lot rather than talk hardly at all.

We climbed onto the plane just in time. We sat in our seats and buckled up. I had to help Sesshomaru and Rin a little bit, but they got the gist of it after I showed them how to adjust the belt.

After we took off, Sesshomaru got this awfully pained look on his face. Rin had fallen asleep quickly. She had been awake for quite awhile now and I knew she would sleep through the entire flight until we got to Waco, a city not far from my hometown. I looked at Sesshomaru’s face. “What’s wrong my love?”

“These sounds are way too loud for my ears! Do you know how hard it is to even think whenever those damn engines are running and everyone around me is talking like they can’t hear?” Sesshomaru asked. I listened and realized that the sounds on the plane were not too harsh for my ears. My ears were almost as sensitive as Sesshomaru’s, so why was my hearing as if I had human ears?

"You put earplugs in your ears before you left the Higurashi’s house," my inner demon reminded me. I nodded as I remembered. I turned back to Sesshy and pouted at him. “You poor baby. Here, let me help you with that problem.” I dug around in my pocket and pulled out another set of ear plugs. “Just put them in your ears and your hearing will down size by a lot.”

Sesshy put the plugs in his ears and sighed with relief whenever his hearing abilities went down for the time being. My Sesshomaru tucked his fluff around his head and fell into a deep slumber. He, too, would sleep through the entire flight.

I took out my journal. We had one of the night flights and it was the perfect time to write some more poetry. Nothing came to my mind at first. I was thinking so hard I almost chewed my pencil to just pieces of wood and lead. Looking at Sesshomaru and Rin, I found my inspiration. Once I found the will to imagine, my pencil didn’t stop moving across the pages until my poem was done. It was the longest poem I had ever written, but what else do you expect whenever you have Sesshomaru as a topic?

After my hand finally ceased to make anymore words on the paper, I cupped my hand on Sesshomaru’s face. He must’ve felt my touch because he leaned in to my hand. I smiled as Sesshomaru’s face softened to such an innocent look, no one would think he was a demon.

As I removed my hand, I realized that I had rubbed off some of the cover-up I had to put on Sesshomaru’s face earlier that day. I laughed at the pale make up on my fingertips. Sesshomaru had refused at first to wear make up, because he was afraid of being made fun of. Whenever I told him that he would get made fun of if he didn’t put make up on, he gave in just enough to deal with having a little bit of cover-up on his face. “I do not understand why I have to wear make up,” he had complained. “If you don’t put this cover-up on, your stripes and moon will make everyone laugh,” I explained.

“But all demons have markings on their faces.” Sesshomaru still didn’t quite get that demons were not seen every day in the modern world. Eventually, I had to tackle him to the ground and apply the make up by force. I couldn’t keep Sesshy down very long, though. Even if I might have defeated him in a couple of fights in our demon forms, I still could not keep him down very long in our human forms.

Sesshomaru had thrown me off his back and wiped his hand over his face. “What the hell was that for? I already told you, I’m not wearing any damn make up!” he yelled at me. “Sesshomaru, if you don’t put this cover-up on before we leave for the plane station, everyone will say you are wearing make up because of the colors of your markings. Everybody will snicker at you and, knowing how your attitude gets, you will try and kill everyone.”

Sesshomaru then mumbled to himself something along the lines of, “Damn miko demon and her persistent attitude,” and then said, “Fine! I will wear your damn make up. I’m taking it off as soon as I get to Texas though.” I kissed Sesshomaru on the cheek in thanks, and smeared the cover-up on his face. The color blended real well, which was good because I was afraid it wouldn’t.

After I put the make up on his face, Sesshomaru had crossed his arms and cursed in to his fluff about me being unfair. “Hey, dude, if you really don't want to wear make up and just get called gay for your markings looking like make up, that’s cool with me. It won’t be anything on my part. Then again, you will probably still get called gay because of your fluff,” I said. “Why do you have to wear that again? I mean I’m totally digging the fluff and all, but aren’t you afraid that someone might call it, dare I say, ‘girly’?”

Sesshomaru, having learned the day before what gay meant, put his hand out downwards in what my friends would call ‘the gay wrist’ and put what was left of his left arm tight to his side. “What ever do you mean, dear Haley? My fluff is most definitely not girly. Did I mention how tacky you look today? I mean, seriously, you wear red and green together? God forbid you go out in public like that if it's not Christmas time!” Sesshomaru said in his most girlish voice. He then started petting and talking to his fluff.

I pounced on him and got him down in the defenseless, pinned up arm trick. “You’re the tacky one. Your belt that you use to keep your swords in place is blue and yellow. How do you like that comment, huh Sesshy Poo?”

Sesshomaru fake growled at me and then wrestled me in to a kiss.

“Haley? Babe, you need to sleep. We have a long trip ahead of us,” I heard Sesshomaru whispering in to my ear. I remembered that we were on the plane. I sighed. “I guess your right. I wish these seats were not so uncomfortable though,” I whined. Sesshomaru handed me his fluff. “Wrap up with this. It helps.”

I glanced at the fluff and then at Sesshomaru. “Thanks.” He smiled. Sesshy picked up my hand and kissed the top of it. “Any time.”

A few short seconds later, I was almost asleep on Sesshomaru’s over sized fluff. It really was quite comfortable. I wondered what it was made out of. Before I could answer my own question, I drifted downwards into a navy blue backdrop. I was falling infinitely in to everything around me, which was mostly just blueness, but eventually Sesshomaru and Rin appeared. Jaken arrived shortly after on Ah-Un.

Jaken took Rin away from Sesshomaru and me. They did not go far, but far enough for me and Sesshomaru to be alone. He pulled me in to his chest, with two arms, and held me tight. I had no idea where he got a left arm from, but before I could question this, Sesshomaru whispered in to my hair, “I will never let you go again.” I was deeply confused. “What are you talking about my dear Sesshomaru?”

Sesshomaru held me closer. “I swear to God, I will never let him touch you again. I will not allow him to live much longer. I shall kill him with my bare hands and then serve you his beating heart on a platter. That is, if he actually has a heart,” Sesshomaru said.

“I don’t understand what you are talking about,” I said, frustrated with Sesshomaru for speaking about something I did not even know of. “You will see, Haley. You will see,” was all Sesshomaru could tell me before he walked away.

“Where are you going? Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru!” I yelled. “Please, do not leave. I cannot bear to have my heart ripped out once again. My heart has been bruised too many times, but if you leave, I fear it will jump out of my chest and follow you,” I cried. “Please. Don’t go.”

“Haley? Haley, please wake up. Please, wake up from the horrible nightmare you are having. I can’t bear that pained look upon your face much longer. Wake up, my love,” I heard Sesshomaru say.

“Sesshomaru?” I asked. “Is it really you? Why did you leave? Where did you go?”

“Haley, I have been in this same spot the entire plane ride. What are you blabbing on about?” Sesshomaru said to me. I opened my eyes. 'It was all a dream,' I thought.  'A dreadful dream, but just a dream. I am so glad that Sesshomaru did not really leave.'

I looked into the concerned, make up smudged face of my Sesshomaru and remembered I was on the plane that was going to take me home to Texas. I sat up in my seat and stared at my watch. It was around the time that we would be very close to Waco. “Honey, I had the worst dream. It was terribly frightening and you left me,” I told Sesshomaru. I looked at Rin. “You left me, too.”

Rin and Sesshomaru looked at each other and they each said to me that they weren’t going anywhere and that they were going to do everything possible to convince my mother to let me go back to Feudal Japan with them.

“Passengers, please buckle your seat belts. We are about to land in Waco, Texas. The time is ten-fifteen in the morning, the weather is 95 degrees with a little wind and clear skies, and the traffic is mild,” the pilot said over the intercom.

Sesshomaru, Rin, and I all buckled our belts and waited patiently to get off the plane. The time had never been so long. I was still extremely exhausted. I was glad that I had called Mom before we left Japan to come pick me up from the plane station. I also told her that Sesshomaru and Rin were coming. She said that was fine, but her voice had sounded very upset. I guessed she was just upset that I had told her about Sesshomaru and Rin an hour before I would be on a plane back home. I hoped that she would not be rude to Sesshomaru. I knew she wouldn’t to Rin, but since I told Mom that I was in love with Sesshomaru, she had kept asking about him when I talked to her on the phone.

Once we got off the plane, I handed Sesshomaru his fluff back, got our bags, and I fixed Sesshomaru’s make up with a little bit of force, Mom came and got us from the station. Whenever I got to the car, she had rejoiced and squished my body until I couldn’t breathe. “Can’t breathe, Mom,” I had to gasp before she let me go. She realized that she was crushing me and released her hold.

“Now, this must be Rin,” Mom said as she shook Rin’s hand, “and this must be Sesshomaru.” She had to look up pretty far in order to see his face. “You are quite tall,” she mentioned.

“Mom,” I hissed. “That’s not a very nice thing to say.” Sesshomaru shook his head and replied to Mom with, “No big deal. I get the whole ‘tall’ thing a lot.” Mom looked at Rin, then Sesshomaru, then Rin again as if she was trying to decide something about them.

“Well, let’s head back to our house where y’all will be staying.” Mom clapped her hands together and opened the trunk so that we could put our bags away. Once we were on our way back towards Eddy, my mother told Rin that she was ‘very cute’ and ‘delicate’.

“Um, thank… you?” Rin said. She looked at Sesshomaru, hoping that he would know if that was the right answer or not. He just shrugged his shoulders. “So, Sesshomaru, what kind of fur is that fluffy thing you got there? It looks soft. I think it’s great that some men like you wear things like that fluff,” Mom mentioned. Poor Sesshy couldn’t help but blush with embarrassment.

She just had to bring up the fluff, didn’t she? My goodness, if Mom was going to keep this act up, it was going to be a long, long few weeks. 'Oh dear God, help me with this one,' I silently prayed. "You do know that this is not going to be as easy as you thought right? You know that your mother can go on and on about some things. Not to mention what your father will think of Sesshomaru whenever he sees him without make up and sitting in your room with a giant fluffy thing on his shoulder," my inner demon pointed out. 'Oh my God, I did not even think about Dad! What am I gonna do?' I asked my demon side.

Nothing said anything to me for a few minutes. Then, I heard this tragic news: "I suggest you start praying a lot harder than you were a second ago."

'I’m doomed! Dad will never accept Sesshomaru. If Dad doesn’t accept him, then Mom will make me stay here in Texas and whenever Sesshomaru and Rin go back to Japan… Oh woe is me! I got to get some help from my friends,' I decided.

“Here we are!” Mom’s cheerful voice rang out. As we pulled up to my two story house, Sesshomaru squeezed my hand for comfort. I squeezed back to let him know I got the message.

We all climbed out of the car and grabbed our bags. Mom unlocked the front door. Sesshomaru, Rin, and I trudged through the mountain of shoes that had been left by the door over the years. I got Sesshomaru and Rin to follow me up to my room. I showed them two spaces Mom had cleared for them to sleep on and then told them they should take off their shoes. “Why?” Rin asked.

“Here, Texans don’t usually wear shoes. We wear shoes whenever we are leaving the house boundaries, but the inside of the house and the back yard is Barefoot City.” After Sesshomaru and Rin took their shoes off, Sesshomaru removed his make up. Once all of the cover-up was finally off, he said, "Never have I been so happy to see my markings." I led Sesshomaru and Rin back downstairs after I rolled my eyes at Sesshomaru for being a Drama King.

Dad was home from work. I could tell because his work boots were by the door. He walked in to the living room and stared at Sesshomaru.

“What are you? Some kind of freak?” he asked Sesshy.

"Yep, you are most definitely doomed," my inner demon said.  "Actually, you are beyond doomed. You’re just plain screwed."

Oh great, of all the things Dad could have said, he chose that sentence. Well, this was going to be an entertaining few weeks...
Chapter Six... *rubs hands together deviously* Man, I love this story. It's so much fun to write. I bet y'all are in total suspense about how Haley's father called Sesshy a freak. What will Sesshy do? Will he lash out with anger and kill him or just shake it off? But then again, does that even sound like our Lord McFluffers? Leave some comments, and the next chappie will be up soon. BELIEVE IT!!!

Sesshomaru and Rin and the rest of the Inuyasha gang belong to Rumiko Takahashi.

Haley and her friends and family belong to me though... Kukuku...
