Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Inuyasha is owned by Michael Jackson. Wait, I mean Rumiko Takahashi. Sorry, they look so much alike ;)

"Who?"
"Sesshoumaru-sama will be your teacher." said Myouga, desperately, foreseeing much pain in the near future.
"Ah. Huh?" was all Inuyasha could think of saying.
"Sesshoumaru, your elder brother will teach you the ways of an adult inu youkai."
"How…?" asked Inuyasha, still in a daze.
"He must. Or else." stated the old flea demon in what he hoped (hoped is the key word here) was an ominous voice.
"Why?" Inuyasha could still only think of one word answers.
"Because. It's instinct. Blood always runs deeper than hate." Myouga hoped he was right. It seemed Sesshoumaru really hated Inuyasha. A lot.
"Er." He felt confused. And dazed. Like he was… he was too confused to think of an analogy for what he was feeling. "Well. Does he know that he's supposed to?"
"Ah, maybe, maybe not."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN???" Inuyasha was pissed. He didn't like being confused and he was _very_ confused right now. Therefore, he was also very angry. I WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING!!!
Myouga was of course cowering in fear. "It depends. Sesshoumaru may come here of his own will, or he may wait for you to track him down, as a test." Or maybe he just wouldn't want to be found…
"Er." He was back in the confused stage.
"Sesshoumaru?" asked Kagome, who appeared to be even more confused than Inuyasha.
"Yes milady, Sesshoumaru." responded the terrified flea demon, as if talking to an idiot. "Inuyasha-sama, I suggest we wait until 2 days after the new moon before we attempt to track Sesshoumaru."
"Why?"
Myouga sighed again. Obviously his master's brain wasn't working very well at the moment. "To see whether or not Sesshoumaru will come."
GrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! This is way too much just to be with Kagome. (No it isn't) "Shut the fuck up before I seriously hurt you!!!" he screamed to the voice in his head, accidentally making a certain flea demon pass out from fear, and making every one else slowly scoot away.
"I think he's lost his mind." Miroku whispered to Sango. She could only nod in agreement.

"Jaken." stated the Lord of the West.
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?" asked an ugly green demon, snapping to attention.
"Inuyasha's 100th year is approaching."
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?" said Jaken again, apparently confused by his statement. [A/N Everyone seems confused]
"This means I will be required to meet him." he said coolly, toying with the hilt of the Toukijin.
"Why, Sesshoumaru-sama?" asked Rin in her usually bouncy way.
A pause. "Custom." was his restrained response. Kisama, the next few months will be hell for you. He let a small smile escape in anticipation of the inevitable confrontation.

"Sango, Miroku, I want you to take Shippo and leave."
"Why??" they simultaneously responded.
Inuyasha clutched his ears in pain from the 120+ decibel outburst. "Because," he half growled, "Sesshoumaru is dangerous. You're only humans. Have you ever stepped on a bug on the ground?" he asked.
"Well yes, but only on accident." said Kagome.
"Exactly. Leave. I'll come get you when I'm done."
"But--"
"I said LEAVE." he growled. Sango seemed to sense some of the urgency in his voice.
"Fine. We'll go to my village. Come get us when you're done. You know where it is." said Sango reluctantly. "But I resent being left alone with this pervert." she said, glancing at a certain someone. (Guess who)
"Don't worry too much," he said with a grin. "Kagome's going with you."
"WHAT?" Kagome was getting angry again. He didn't ask me! He just told me! Ooooh…! "Why??"
"Your human." he stated, as if it was all the explanation needed.
"So?" Apparently she wasn't getting the bug metaphor.
"I can't have you getting hurt." he stated simply. Kagome's breath caught in her throat… "You're my shard detector." he stated with an equally flat voice. Her heart sunk. Hmph. Of course. His precious shard detector.
"I'm going home." she stated calmly, bearing an eerie resemblance to Kikyo. Inuyasha shivered, however this apparently went unnoticed.
"Fine. Just don't stay. I'll come get you in a while. I don't know how long…" he stated, voice getting softer towards the end. "Just don't stay." Remember, he told himself remember why you are doing this. You can't afford to lose her before Naraku is dead and Kikyo is laid to rest. (you can't afford to lose her ever…) stated that annoying voice in his head again. For once however, he agreed with it.

Sesshoumaru had detected a faint trace of his brother's scent. Needless to say, one such as Sesshoumaru wouldn't lower himself to the ground just to smell the trail. Not that he even needed to. "Rin." he said, trying to get the attention of the young human girl he was currently traveling with.
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama!" she said, snapping into a ramrod straight posture.
"Are you hungry?" he asked. It had been nearly a day since she had last eaten. He had nearly forgotten of her weakness. She was after all, human.
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama." she said.
"Jaken."
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama?" asked the demon. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes. He was getting tired of hearing that line over and over again.
"Take Rin to find something to eat. Remember, she can not eat raw meat. I will not accept another failure of you." stated the Demon Lord dangerously.
"Yes Lord." Just as the demon began to lead the young human girl off, Sesshoumaru stopped him.
"Wait." he said. "Do you recognize this youki?"
"What youki lord?" A few seconds wait. "No Sesshoumaru-sama. It is new. It seems to be one of those insolent wolf youkai." he added at the end.
It was coming at an incredible speed. Another seconds wait, and a small tornado dissipated to reveal Kouga.

Heheheh. What is Sesshoumaru going to do with Kouga? After all, he is the one who commanded his wolves to attack the village. And the same wolves killed Rin…
There will be more Inu/Kag fluff later. There's been practically none as yet. Review please. Thanks to the ones that have already reviewed. I've gotten 19, which means about 19 more people have read my fic than I expected :).
