Inuyasha walked out to Inuyasha's Forest. Kagome had just 'sat' him 5 times, only because he asked for some ramen. "Stupid Kagome." he muttered. "Just cause you failed a test doesn't mean I did it." He sighed and sat down by the Goshinboku. "Damn. Now I can't go back, she's probably got them looking for me. What do I do?"

Just then, his favorite demon came up. (Not really.) "Se-Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked. I don't need this! Leave me alone...

The daiyokai stepped forward, now right beside Inuyasha. "What are you doing, little brother? Do you honestly fear that...Human girl?"

Inuyasha scoffed. "Of course not!" I don't fear her, I'm starting to hate her! "Anywyas, don't make up some 'I'm just passing through' crap. Wh're you really here?"

Sesshomaru grinned, which sent shivers up the hanyo's spine. "I wish to fight you, Inuyasha. I'm a little...Annoyed, at Jaken, and Rin wishes I do not go after her. So, you're my new target."

"Wha-No! No way in hell!" Inuyasha cried. Every bone in his sore body protested as he stood up. "Nu-uh. I'm not gonna be your damn punching bag, Sessh-"

Tired of hearing him talk, Sesshomaru had grabbed his throat and picked him up, choking him. "Be silent, Iuyasha. You shall fight me. Whether or not you live all depends on you."

Inuyasha clawed at his hand. "L-let go! I can't breathe!" he cried.

Sesshomaru dropped him, and Inuyasha quickly unsheathed his sword. "Ready?"

"Ready!"
