Disclaimer: Yes, once again I'm here to tell you all that I don't, in fact, own this… though it would be more of a yaoi series if I did ;) However, I DO own the "little known facts" So don't go trying to convince everyone that that's the way things really are, okay?
Warnings: OOC, yaoi, Kagome bashing
Summary: It's been two years since Kagome broke the Shikon. Two. Agonizing. Years. The inu party doesn't have all of it, but neither does Naraku. In fact, they are still hunting the pieces down. Now, they are more and more deeming Kagome's presence as obsolete, and want the girl to know it, adhere to it, and LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE!
Main Pairing: Shippo/Inuyasha (and no, he's not a kid, hasn't been for a while, actually XP)
Note from me: Yay! I'm back! Did you miss me? No!? Cries Well, anyway, I'm thinking about taking down a few of my stories. I just can't get a muse for them, but I love this story, and I plan to write it to completion! Yay! Anywho, please read and let me know what you think, feedback is greatly appreciated.
Chapter One: So Many Secrets
After being sat into oblivion the tenth time that morning, Inuyasha got up and was in a grumpy mood.
"Damn bitch, sitting me into the other side of the world! She has no damn fucking right. I should just kill her and get it over with. I hate that bitch. I hate her, I hate her, I hate her," he murmured to himself as he brushed the dirt from his kimono and hakama in a disgruntled fashion, glaring defiantly at the ground.
After a few moments of this, and seeing that he was getting no where, he stormed off, going to a hot spring he knew was around to try to cleanse his body off better from the damage the accursed command caused.
"Inuyasha, where do you think you're going?!" the miko screeched.
Her high pitched voiced made the inu-hanyou winced in pain as the sound vibrated deep inside his sensitive ears making them throbbed. "Away!" he called back, never stopping from his set course toward the much needed.
"Away!? You want me to say it again!? Do you!? We've already talked about this, Inuyasha! We're taking a break and that's that!" she called out even louder—but the half-inu didn't care as he continued to stomp off as though her words held no merit, which brought on a new tactic for the enraged female to try.
"Why are you leaving, Inuyasha? Don't you love me anymore? You're probably going to go see Kikyo… aren't you?!" she wailed, bringing tears to her eyes, and knowing in her heart she'd won.
She ALWAYS won.
Turning her attention back to the pressing issue at hand, she noted that Inuyasha ceased he exit.
Inwardly smirking, Inuyasha stormed back to where the rest of the group was standing, Inuyasha gave his lungs a full workout, "Listen and listen very carefully because I'm only gonna tell you this once..."
He savagely growled as he stopped mere inches in front of her—panting heavily in his fury—expressive golden eyes quickly flashed red—he was not going to fall victim to Kagome's manipulation.
It was always about her feelings, never once did Kagome care how he felt. The salt he smelt in her tears further fueled his anger and path on where he wanted to go with this conversation. "This ain't got NOTHING to do with Kikyo, Bitch. I need to get away from you… I still do. You're infuriating, you're immature, you're manipulative, and you think that just because you can say 'sit' that that automatically means I need to do whatever it is you tell me like some damn dog!"
He broke off, storming away once more, adding over his shoulder just to make sure that the words struck home "Besides, you say that like I ever DID love you to begin with." Inuyasha paused for he knew what was about to come.
Kagome stood there in her shock, too much to react, until that last sentence really DID hit home. The tears instantly cool, as a wave of turbulent anger settled.
"Wha-?!" she cried in her fury, just then noticing that Inuyasha has stopped a few paces away to gauge her reaction. "Inuyasha… SIT! SITSITSITSIT…SITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSITSIT!! I can't believe you're so insensitive! SIT…SITSITSITSITSITSITSIT! Just go away! SIT!" Kagome bellowed, bringing on tears once more, trying to make sure that the others remain on her side. She couldn't be the one they blame. That would be unfair for them to side with him… Inuyasha was a jerk…
I need to come up with some new material, she absently thought to herself as she continued to pour on the water works.
A few minutes into Kagome's charade, everyone in the Inu-pack has taking to comforting Kagome, leaving Inuyasha to fume in his crater. As he dragged himself up, still feeling the intense cramps rage within him, he glared heated at the girl.
Lavender jagged stripes appeared and vanished on each side of Inuyasha's dirtied cheeks but none in his pack saw the demonic markings.
The insensitive little whelps that take for granted that he hasn't killed her and that's only because she could detect jewels shards.
Noting how everyone was giving him the cold shoulder, Inuyasha decided he's had enough.
"I HATE YOU!" he bellowed. "ALL OF YOU!"
"YOU TREAT ME LIKE SHIT, AND THEN EXPECT ME TO BE BEGGING FOR YOUR AFFECTION LIKE SOME LOVE SICK PUPPY! WELL, I'M NOT A PUPPY! I'M NOT A DOG, AND I'D APPRECIATE, IF YOU WOULDN'T TREAT ME AS SUCH!" he paused, taking a few deep breathes to steady himself, the pain beginning to slowly overwhelm him.
"I'm leaving. I can't take you anymore… any of you. You see, just because I'm a half-demon doesn't mean that I can't the manipulation, the deception within her tears even her body scent reek of malicious intent, and yet you side with her and make ME out to be the one doing wrong—she's worse than Naraku—at least with him I know he's honest about his deception.
"Well, helping us or not… I can't be here. It's not healthy." Shaking his head, he turned to leave, taking to the air on a cloud in much the same fashion of Sesshoumaru's, though it was forest green.
After traveling some minutes, he found the hot spring, landing beside it.
To his shock, he felt two small hands on his side. "Here, let me help you get into the spring," Shippo quietly said, coming from the glamour that he kept around Kagome.
"You know…" he commented, in a voice the same tone as Sesshoumaru's, " I wasn't expecting you to lose your cool like that. That temper of yours…" he said, sweetly running a hand through Inuyasha's silver mane, untangling some of the knotted strands.
"Feh…" the dog demon declares, shaking his head in slight amusement. "It had been a long time coming."
"Yeah, I know."
A few things wasn't known about the pair. Firstly, despite being the most bravado in the group, Inuyasha was an uke, and not jus ANYONE'S uke, but Shippo's.
Yes, Shippo, the one who has the most secrets to keep. He was actually about Sesshoumaru's height of six feet and three inches to Sesshoumaru's 6 feet and four inches – leaving Inuyasha behind at the 5 feet and eight inches category.
His hair, while in a childish pony in his glamour form, was to his ankles, and as straight as Inuyasha's, though more manageable. His eyes, once large and doe-like, are narrowed as his father's in that last decisive battle, looking more like the nan as he was now at the ripe age of fifty-five—breeding age for demons—an age Inuyasha long since past.
The finishing touch was Shippou's tail. It was like the fire of Hakudoshi's demon horse, Enti.
As he lifted the other male to the springs, he then stripped himself, climbing into the water, ridding his lover of the rosary that he wore once and for all, something that only he himself had been able to do, a fact that Kaede had left off with Kagome.
She wasn't the only to be able to free Inuyasha. The rosary merely makes the wearer submit, meaning that if Inuyasha willingly submitted to Shippo, then he could remove it. "I'm not putting that back on this way. It's not good for you." Shippo said, smiling in pleasure as Inuyasha's youkai was allowed to come forth.
In order to keep him obedient, Kaede had—foolishly—given Kagome the rosary, submitting him to the girl's every whim and in turn, locking his youkai inside of him, leaving it to break free at spurs when he was most weak or angry, though not being able to take the control it rightfully deserved.
Inuyasha was a half demon—a well known fact. If the hanyou managed to live past the age of fifty, the demon blood takes over, effectively taming the human blood, and leaving the hanyou a demon, this was not common knowledge and Inuyasha was quite sure that his brother probably might not be aware of this.
Tessaiga/Tetsusaiga (which every spelling you prefer) was even more finicky than Sesshoumaru. The sword wasn't with Inuyasha to keep him safe, or to protect him from his demon blood, and it CERTAINLY didn't have a thing against demons—no barriers and such. It just only liked Inu no Taisho and, in effect, only like Inuyasha as he's the most like his father than Sesshoumaru could ever DREAM. Following in his father's footsteps, Inuyasha held compassion for humans and those he loved, something that his half-brother would never fully realize.
As his demon blood was now free to do the task that it was trying to accomplish, Inuyasha whimpered, burying his face into Shippo's chest. "I know, love… I know. It's almost finished," Shippou murmured soothingly, petting Inuyasha's ears—a privilege reserved for him and him alone.
Another fact about demons whether male or female, he or she can bear offspring with their chosen mate after the age of maturity. In essence, Inuyasha was now becoming a hermaphrodite. I'm not sure that this word is appropriate for this time era. You might want to use something else.
Little known fact – the breasts come only after conception, though they stay forever more after that. You may want to consider using this in another chapter. You don't want to give away all the secrets

With the remainder of the pack
Kagome was still staring in the direction Inuyasha left moments before, dazed. Turning to face the others, she saw that they aren't quite as surprised as she was. In fact, they aren't looking at her at all. Instead, they are climbing onto the back of a transformed Kirara.
"Umm…we…ummm…" the monk stuttered, trying his best to put more confidence into his voice before sighing in defeat. "We're going to Kaede, come on," he said, staring everywhere—any where—but at Kagome.
In resignation, she walked forth, getting onto Kirara with Miroku's help, who runs along side of them to their destination. The entire time, they were all in silence.
As they approached the village, they walked, giving Kirara a bit of a break.
Upon exchanging polite greetings with the elder priestess, Kirara transformed once more, escorting the demon slayer and the monk away from the hut.
Standing in shock alone, it took Kagome some time to realize a blatantly obvious, and yet shocking discovery: they were angry… with her.
HER!
What for?! She's done nothing! She is perfectly innocent! WHY should they be so upset with HER? This wasn't fair!
As the last of these thoughts runs through her mind, he storms to the well, going back to her time… to Sulk.
