This is just a little oneshot that I wrote the other night. I had just finished my rough draft for ancient history and I needed to get my head out of Rome and the First Triumvirate and into creative writing. So I did this in like twenty minutes to clear my head.

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha. Nope. Nadda. Absolutely not.

Dead Friends

'What the hell do they think they're doing?!'

The silver haired male turned from the crystal ball on its intricate stand in the centre of the room and walked over to the wall. Standing beside the king sized bed, he proceeded to bang his head rather loudly on the wall. The door on the other side of the room opened and a beautiful ebony haired woman ran inside.

'Tai, dearest! Would you stop that?!' she said to the man, gripping him by his broad shoulders and trying to pull him away.

Tai groaned and flopped onto the bed, dragging the woman on top of him. She laid her head on his chest and reached up to stroke the purple marking on the side of his face. He rolled over, pinning her delicate body beneath his large frame, his hair falling like a silver silk curtain around them. His golden eyes burned into hers.

'Sorry, Izayoi,' he whispered in her ear.

Izayoi smiled up at him. 'You're forgiven. Now, tell me what had you so worked up that you tried to bring down the roof using only your head.'

Tai stood up and pulled Izayoi to his side. Taking hold of her hand, he led to the centre of the room and pointed at the clear crystal ball. She let go and moved to stand in front of the ball, peering into its depths.

'Oh dear,' she murmured, seeing what had distressed her love so much.

Inside the ball, two silver haired youths, a demon and a half demon, fought, their blades clashing time and again. They hurled insults at one another and spilt the other's blood without hesitation.

'I thought that when they banished Sounga to Hell together, they would get along better. But they seem to have gotten only worse.' Tai sighed and rubbed his face with his hands.

Izayoi walked over to him and put her arms around his waist. 'It'll be alright, they'll get over it somehow. Brothers always fight, these two just like to take it to the next level.'

A knock sounded on the door. 'Come in,' Tai called out.

The door opened and a man with spiky black hair tinted with blue and wearing only a pair of jeans walked in. 'Sorry for interrupting, but I just wanted to see how my Kaggie is.'

'That's alright, Katsuya. You know you can view your daughter any time you want,' said Izayoi.

Katsuya had a look in the crystal ball. He chuckled. 'Those sons of yours are still fighting, hey Tai?'

Tai grunted.

Izayoi slapped his arm. 'Be more polite.'

'Now, now, Izayoi. I know Tai. If he wants to be rude, he'll be rude no matter what you say. Rather like my little girl's love interest. Isn't that right, Tai?'

Tai nodded. 'They'll do well together. If Inuyasha would hurry up already. That boy's useless when it comes to relationships. Honestly.'

'Take's after his father,' muttered Izayoi. 'I seem to recall someone else also taking forever.'

'Hey!'

Izayoi and Katsuya both laughed at the look on Tai's face. Tai composed himself and walked over to the crystal ball, ignoring them.

'I just wish that those boys would hurry up and get along so that they can defeat Naraku. They can't win separately,' he said.

Katsuya put a hand on Tai's shoulder. 'It'll be fine. It'll all work out in the end.'

Izayoi stood on Tai's other side and nodded.

'I hate being dead,' Tai muttered. 'I can't do anything to help.'

The trio looked into the ball and watched as Inuyasha led his group away from yet another successful battle against a Naraku puppet.

Time didn't flow the same for the dead as it did for the living. Sometimes it was slower, sometimes it was faster.

But the three friends eagerly awaited the day that Naraku would join them in the afterlife. It would be a pleasure to kick the ass of the demon that had tormented their children and their children's friends.

After a while, Katsuya spoke up. 'So, who wants to go play a round of tennis the Lord of Hell?'

Hope ya liked it. If you haven't already figured out the characters, then I'll tell you:

Tai - InuYasha's and Sesshoumaru's Father

Izayoi - InuYasha's Mother

Katsuya - Kagome's Father

The third movie clearly refers to InuYasha's mother as Izayoi and I took Tai from his formal title as the Inu no Taishou. Katsuya I just picked out, cause I don't know his real name. By the way, they are dead and I don't have a clue where the crystal ball came from, I just wanted them to be able to watch what was happening on Earth from the afterlife. The last line the Katsuya spoke indicates that they are in hell. I think that according to Eastern beliefs that the dead souls go to hell, whether they are good or bad before reincarnating. The ten levels of hell and the potion of forgetfulness, or something like that, so that's why I wrote that line, plus, I didn't want to end on a grim note. Send a review if you liked it.
