A promise I have made and I promise I have kept! Here is the next chapter of Half Moon!

"Great, just what I need," Inuyasha muttered.

Miroku looked from Sesshomaru to Inuyasha to Tsuki. "I guess this means that the family's all here."

"Family? Since when?" Sesshomaru asked, almost as if he was insulted by the thought.

"YOU'RE the one who called me 'little sister'," Tsuki grumbled. "Now what are YOU doing here?"

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed. "I don't see what business that is of yours."

"He's probably looking for Naraku, like we are," Inuyasha said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Aren't you now, Sesshomaru?"

"As I said, mind your own business, little brother."

Sparks were flying in the atmosphere once again as the tension between the three siblings deepened at once.

"This can't end well," Shippo whispered to Kagome nervously.

Kagome wouldn't have THAT. "Hey you three, cut that out! Aren't you all family? What are you even fighting for?"

"Who needs a reason?" snarled Inuyasha.

"Yeah," Tsuki agreed, "what he said."

"Will you two just knock it off?"

"No," they chorused, Tsuki adding, "you idiot human."

Inuyasha whirled on Tsuki, of course, who was unrepentant as he started shouting at her.

"Enough of this, it grows tiresome," Sesshomaru finally intervened. "Stand aside, so i may pass."

"Don't order me around!" Inuyasha growled toward him. "Besides, we're going this way, too. C'mon, Kagome, let's not stick around."

"Oh! But what about your sister?"

"What about her/me?!" Inuyasha and Tsuki demanded.

"Aum..."

Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder, and turned her head toward Sango. "C'mon Kagome. The sooner we find Naraku, the better."

Kagome nodded nervously, then went over to Inuyasha, who hefted her on piggy back and was away in a flash without any good byes. the others piled on Kirara and followed close behind begore disapearing into the trees.

There was a silence as both Tsuki and Sesshomaru stood there, not exactly doing anything.

Finally, Sesshomaru said, "I suspect you will be heading after us as well."

"Oh? What gives you that idea?" Tsuki's scowl flicked away instantly as she looked at her eldest brother. She only ever got ticked when Inuyasha was around.

"I kow you better than you think I do, little sister."

By that, Tsuki knew he meant that she was going to go find this Naraku too, because not only one but both brothers were after him. It'd never be said allowed, but Tsuki was actually fairly found of both her brothers.

She just neve showed it. Especially not in front of Inuyasha. For some reason.

Besides, this Naraku coward made her irritated but just having his name spoken. He snuck around in the shadows, and messed with her brother a full 50 years ago and was still doing it now. What nerve he had, thinking he was high and mighty. No, if Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were both after this guy, she'd go after him, too.

with that, Sesshomaru disappeared in a flurry of fluff, leaving behind a shpere of blue light, which took off after Inuyasha and company. Tsuki followed close behind.
