Mind Games….

Inside InuYasha's head…

"ORDER IN THE COURT!"

Everyone stops and stares at the judge.

Sensible InuYasha sits atop his chair holding his gavel, (now yeah I know but it's a BIG hammer) behind the judge bench and stares at each and everyone of the other InuYashas, who are gathered for what may very well be the biggest debate in Sensible InuYasha's career as judge.

Most of the InuYasha's in the court look exactly like the one we see all the time, the only real difference (for most) is their size, for example, Sensible InuYasha is just that sensible, but since sensibility isn't a common trait for our usual InuYasha, Sensible InuYasha in a little oh, I don't know, STUMPY. Yeah! He's only about 3 foot 4, like I said stumpy. These InuYasha's heights are determined by their use in the real InuYasha.

"O come now SI (SI is a short form for Sensible InuYasha, almost all the InuYasha's use the shorter forms of their names, only Sensible, as judge, usually uses their real names) except when he's really mad), surly we aren't out of fighting time already…" says Demon InuYasha (DI)

"You heard him DI, just give up the tough dog act!" says Human InuYasha (HI) (The ONLY human, I might add, amongst so many half demons and a full demon)

"You shut it HI" DI shoots back at the human.

"BOTH OF YOU, DI, HI… SIT!!!!"

THUD, BANG, "OWWWWW"

(Here SI has taken the place of Kagome and as judge can make any and ALL of the InuYasha's 'SIT')

"SI!?" shouts the two getting back to their feet.

"I won't hear anymore of this wretched babbling and your stupid squabbling! We've put this off for long enough! Now we have been given the opportunity to decide our fate so we shall decide!" Everyone remains silent, he used their NICKNAMES! This IS serious!

"Now with that, let the debate begin!" And with that SI slams his gavel down on the bench, and the debaters bring their arguments forward one at a time.

3 hours later… (While time passes OUR InuYasha is sitting at the base of a tree staring into space)

"How many times are we going to go through this?" complained HI as the debate dragged on, and on, and on. "The only thing we've managed to achieve is a three-way draw and a headache…"

"On the contrary HI we have managed to agree on ONE thing." Says PI (Positive InuYasha) I bet you can guess how tall HE is)

"WILL YOU BOTH SHUT UP!!!" yells DI frustrated and tired.

"Well I think from the arguments and everyone's expressions I can come to only one conclusion…" says SI in a rather hushed tone.

"YOU GOT A CONCLUSION FROM THAT!!??" yells everyone spirits raised a little.

"Yes, it isn't permanent, and your right DI we will have to go through this again, BUT I don't think we'll get a different conclusion if we resume this argument now so…"

"SO???"

"I say we find Kagome and THEN try this again, who knows, maybe the circumstances will change between now and then, one never knows for sure."

"Do you seriously think this will work?" asks HI, still not certain.

"HI I don't know for sure if things will change in a few hours, but they say it only takes a minute to turn your Life upside down, so we can only hope for that luck and debate again later."

Everyone stared at SI for a full minute until…

"Now we vote… All infavor of my suggestion."

Everyone raised a hand just for the promise of a decent nights sleep.

"Do I even have to ask?"

Everyone nods.

(Sigh) "All oppose speak now…"

No one moves…

"Well then get some sleep and court will resume later."

"Alright I've gotta find Kagome!" and with that InuYasha starts running toward Kaede's village to find Kagome, and is quickly swallowed by the darkness of the fast approaching night…
