Note From Nodoko: I bet you're all wondering why I didn't spare poor Larry...Well the answer is simple, really. The day after Larry met his untimely end I got a whole heap of Inu-Yasha stuff in the mail!!! Among the many comics, presents which B-Chan mustn't know of, and boxes was my new best friend....Inu-Yasha!...In plushie form! He goes everywhere with me now....I even concidered bringing him to school and showing him off to all the Nodoko-wanna-bees....Yet I thought against doing this....Anyway, how did you like my song? Not a single review besides B-Chan's even mentioned the song! Tell me what you think! Do it....DO IT NOW!!! (Plus, remember to add up all the chapter titles from now on to get a new poem!)

Unbroken Silence Chapter 3: Every Night

Inu-Yasha turned back to see the faint outline of Neo York on the horizon. He felt shivers on his spine, giveing him a feeling of apprehension. He moved his atention from the city to some shadows moving across the snow. He slowly rotated to face the shadows, prepared for what they had in store for him. Though he had no weapon, he wasn't about to back away from a fight. He flexed his claws, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The puddlelike shadows took shape before him, chooseing the form of particularly large cobras. Inu-Yasha leapt upon one, "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" He slashed with all his might, bringing forth naught but flowing, black tendrils of smoke. His attack had gone strait through a rough illusion. He leapt back a step, watching the tendrils drop to the ground like black water. He heard the familiar wisk of a Kagome-shot arrow. It hit one of the snakes, imbedding a warding mark deep within it. It hit the ground dead. As it landed, it flowed away on the gentle breeze. He turned around to see Kagome, bow poised for a kill. She drew back three more arrows in trident formation, prepared to strike the remaining four. The shadows flowed back into puddles and scurryed away on the snow. She lowered her weapon, relaxing herself slightly. She cursed the shadows under her breath before sheathing her arrows. She walked over to Inu-Yasha, a cross look on her face. "What are you doing outside Neo York boundries?" she yelled furiously at him, "Youcould be killed out there! No thing of this earth could even get close to the things lurking out there!" Inu-Yasha shrugged and kept going. Kagome grabed his arm and forcfully yelled out, "Sit, boy!" Inu-Chan hit the ground, his white hair trailing like a silver wind after. He pulled his face from the freezing snow. He spoke. "What'd you go and do that for?....." he said through a mouthful of snow. Kagome shook in unvented rage as she said, "Because....I don't want you to- to..... Just because...." There was a brief silence before it was once again gone with a howl in the distance. Both stared at the open wold where it came from then at one another. Inu-Yasha snorted and mumbled, "Feh...Fine...." They slowly meandered towards Kagome's house. He never left her after that.....

Next time the not-so-feudal fairy tale begins again! Is true love really forever in this tale? Plus Kagura steals a cigar...yea! Cigar!! Kagome begins to have dreams about a strange sword of imense power and a man with a moon tattoo on his forehead. What will it all lead to?! Next time, I Dream of Things Long Gone. See ya there!

Now for a hit selectin fro Ranma 1/2 opening themes....

Note From Nodoko: Okay...it may be short but it sounds good to me! *Cuddles Inu-Yasha doll and sighs* What could be more pleasent than this? *sighs* If only he were real, then the bliss would be complete.....B-Chan, you shall come to my house this Friday or I'll come and get you by force! Remind me to take down the box so won't figure out your present. Ahhh...Quiet...It's a good thing...With Larry gone, no sounds are ever made....*Glass smashes in background* *Quiver begins under her left eye* Okay now that the bad concience is gone, there is still the crazy, the good, the jelous, and the Little Me ....Oh, Great.....The voices will forever haunt me! *runs screaming from room clutching Inu-Yasha plushie*
