((Chapter 1))

"You ain't even worth my time." Inuyasha snorted and walked right past the large demon that stood in his way. The demon, large in its form, growled and turned and ripped and wrapped his fist around the trunk of a tree and slammed it down in front of Inuyasha. "I'll rip you limb from limb...you're nothing but a half demon." Inuyasha snorted again and jumped over the tree and continued on his way. "Half is all I need to kick your ass. But you are NOT even worth hearing me talking to you." The demon growled; and shippo hopped onto Miroku's shoulder. "I'd listen to him if I were you--" Shippo closed his eyes and shook his head. "He's not ganna listen." Even Miroku, Sango and Shippo didn't bother to put up a fighting stance against the demon. It was obvious how weak, stupid and unimportant the demon was...

Shippo opened his mouth to try to tell him to leave it or he was in for it, but no sooner had he opened his mouth before the demons temper let loose. He roared and ripped up another tree from the ground and hurtled it at Inuyashas head. Inuyasha leapt into the air. "You're wasting my fucking time!" He snarled and balled his fist, his knuckles smashed into the demons jaw, snapping his mouth shut. He fell backward from the force of the small blow and landed on his back. "Pathetic. You are pathetic. I barely even grazed you and--" A growl erupted from the demon as his mouth shot open and sharp spikes shot from his mouth. Inuyasha dodged the first two, the third grazed his neck. He laughed. "HAHAH! So you wanna play?"

Sango shook her head and sat on the ground. "Hes showing off. Why can't he just get it over with?"

Inuyasha jumped into the air again and landed hard on the demons jaw, keeping it open. "Ready? Heres a new game for you!" He spun as the demon roared angrily, leaping to his face. Clearly enraged at Inuyasha. Inuyasha only laughed more and leaped into the air again. "Iron Reaver Stole Stealer!" He yelled and attacked; then; just like that, it was over. Inuyasha landed on the ground. "I was actualy starting to have fun. I think I may have over did it...or he would still be here. Oh well, still a waste of my damn time."

"Then why did you fight him? We could have just went on our way and been to the well by now." Miroku sighed, agreeing with Sango whole heartedly...WHILE his hand slid down her back in a caress and then lower. "DAMMIT Miroku! Keep your hands to yourself." Sango slapped Miroku's hand away and stepped out of his reach.

"He called my a half demon. What else was I to do?" Miroku was about to open his mouth to say something, no doubt about to say that Inuyasha WAS a half-demon, before Inuyasha shot him a glance that told him to not say one word about it.

"You still got hurt." Shippo pointed to Inuyasha's neck where a small red scratch marked his skin. "You're not so tough now, huh? All that big talk and you got wounded." Shippo's eyes widened and he lurched back but not before Inuyasha grabbed his tail and lifted him up in front of his face. "I'll beat your tiny ass any day."

"Whatever!" Shippo got a smack on the side of the head for that and muttered under his breath, "I'm telling Kagome..." Shipp squirmed out from Inuyashas hold, rubbing his head and dropped to the ground. A small object, oddly shaped and somewhat shiney, caught his attention. He leaned down and picked up the small object. It was a bears claw, a small one at that. "This looks familier. I've seen this somewhere..." Another small object but rounder was beside it and he picked that up as well. "What is this?" He noticed a few more of them scattered around, and then more and then he knew. Shippo glanced up at Inuyasha and looked at his neck. "Uh Miroku..." He jumped up onto his shoulder and held something up in front of his face and whispered something into his ear. Sango's eyes widened when she realized what Shippo was holding before her gaze jerked to Inuyasha's neck. No necklace there. "Thats not good. Not good at all." Miroku glanced at Inuyasha as well. He hadn't yet noticed it. Yet.

"Inuyasha, if you wouldn't mind...I need to talk to you." Miroku pointed to a place off in the distance where he couldn't be overheard AND where Inuyasha couldn't see what Sango was doing. Inuyasha stared at Miroku for a minute. "Fine but whatever it is, it better be important. Kagome will be back soon." And boy, did he have it in for her. She had left without telling him. Again.

When Inuyasha was out of sight Sango dropped to her knees and hurriedly started gathering all the beads. It wouldn't do for Inuyasha to realize the bead necklace had broken. No telling what he would do. Especially to Kagome. She didn't for a minute think Inuyasha would hurt Kagome. Well she wasn't to sure about that, but Inuyasha had a tendency to be rebelliant and they didn't need that...

"Now what'd you want to talk about?" Inuyasha sat down on the ground, his ears twitching slightly.

"Er...About Sango." Miroku had to think for a moment before an idea, though not a smart one, came to mind. "I wanted to talk to you about Sango. How do you think I should get her to bare my children? She barely lets me near her." He threw his hands up in the air as if the problem was so great. Inuyasha sat there in silence, just staring at Miroku as if he had gone insane. "What the hell? You wanted to talk to me about San-THAT? What the hell is wrong with you? Do I look like I would know anything about women? Do I look like I even CARE?" Inuyasha got up slowly and turned to walk away and Miroku launched into another excuse.

"Oh my God! Inuyasha...SESSHOMARU!" Inuyasha spun around so fast that Miroku stepped back. "Oh wait, no, it was just a cloud that looked like him. I'm sorry." He shrugged. "Its just so cloudy today..."

Inuyasha stared. "You fucking idiot...And what are you looking at Shippo?" He plucked the small bear claw and bead from Shippo's hands and shippo made a lunge to get the back but Inuyasha stepped out of reach. "What the hell is this...I've seen this before. Somewhere. I swear I have. I..." Something changed in his eyes and he glanced down at his chest and pulled his shirt out of the way and looked in his shirt and then felt around his neck with his hand. A small smile appeared on his lips and a glint in his eyes. "The damn thing broke." He muttered. "I think that demon might have done some good..." He glanced down again, as if not really believeing it wasn't there. His smile turned into a full blown, not so nice, grin.

Sango burst into the clearing and stopped beside Miroku, seeing the look on Inuyasha's face. "Now Inuyasha..."

"What?"

"Don't go do anything stupid that you might regret later." Sango kept to herself that she had gathered up every last bead. Kagome would have to help her put the necklace back together later.

"I don't do stupid things. Now come on, Kagome's here." Inuyasha leapt forward and was gone in an instant. Sango, Miroku and Shippo hopped onto Kiria's back. Miroku and Sango exchanged glances. "What do you think hes going to do?" Sango asked as she grabbed Miroku's hand to keep it from wondering. "I don't know, but what I do know is that I think it best we catch up to Kagome first." Luck wasn't on there side.

Inuyasha smiled to himself. Oh, this was great. No more "Sitting" him. What was he going to do? Get revenge. Big time, and as Kagome had said to them in a strange set of words from her own time "Revenge is a bitch" and now he was starting to believe it because he knew Kagome was going to see it as that. He remembered every time Kagome had sat him, even accidently. From the very first time when the necklace had first been placed around his neck. To yestorday when she had sat him for calling her an ignorant fool. All the times she had sat him accidently...Well those wouldn't have happened IF he hadn't been wearing the damn "Beads of Subjegation". Oh, she was in for it. What to do though...So many things...
