Titanic

Chattering students filled the halls of the school as the lunch bell rang, and Kagome grinned wryly at her friends. "That test was a killer," she shook her head, "and I don't even want to know what I got on it!"
"Do not be ridiculous, Kagome," came the voice of her boyfriend Sesshoumaru as he came up behind them and began walking with her, "you never make anything less than a ninety on any test."
She blushed and peeked up at him, his beauty taking her breath away – as always. "Yeah, well, I hope I can uphold that record with this one. It really was a nerve-wracking one," she finally sighed as they reached the doors and put on their outdoor shoes to sit on the lawns in the pleasant weather and eat their lunches.
Not surprisingly, the rest of the gang was already in place and waiting, and with shouts and catcalls, they reached the gathering and sat down, interrupting a talk about movies.
"... American movie is my all-time favorite," her friend Ayume was saying.
"Which one?" Kagome asked as she opened up her bento and dug in happily.
"Titanic," she replied, the group noise going up as everyone started debating that one. It was a damn good movie, that was for sure. "L. Dicaprio was really awesome in that one. But hey... didn't he die or something? I thought I heard that he had. A car wreck, maybe?"
Suddenly, into the natural lull that followed, a rather confused voice popped up and everyone turned to look at Kikyou and her boyfriend, Sesshoumaru's half-brother Inuyasha.
"Well of course he died... he died on the Titanic, didn't he?"
Silence so deep fell that even the crickets seemed loud.
"Is it just me, or are... people getting less intelligent with each new generation?" Sesshoumaru finally got out in scathing tones that immediately had his brother bristling. "Zombie apocalypse," he huffed disgustedly. "It is never going to happen. Instead, we should be worrying about the Idiot Apocalypse – which is already in progress, illustrated quite well by dumb and dumber over there."
Everyone burst out laughing, though Kagome tried to choke hers off while she elbowed her boyfriend in the gut. "Be nice!" she hissed scoldingly. "We don't need you two getting in yet another fight!"
He shrugged. "All I have to do is walk into the school and turn the corner, and the idiot brigade would immediately lose me. I can wait to get home to pound him if I must – that is, if he manages to find his way home on his own this time."
Needless to say, Inuyasha was breathing fire by this time, but Kikyou, dirty look at Sesshoumaru notwithstanding, drew her angry boyfriend away to go sit somewhere else so he could cool off. They really didn't need to get in another fight here at school.
"Let us pray that one or both of them are sterile, although I do not hold out too much hope," Sesshoumaru sighed.
"So... what is the next stupid question going to be?"
No one answered, as they were all too busy laughing.

A.N.- My daughter told me that some girl had actually asked that in a yahoo questions thingy, and that one of the answers was just that – of course he died, he died on Titanic!
All I could do when she told me that was blink, dumbfounded. I couldn't think of anything to say.
