Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I do however own 2.25 and a ball of lint.

FranceGamble: This _is_ Feudal Japan. The whole women's rights thing is pretty new. I don't think they had it 500 years ago. And I AM a guy. I was just wondering why someone would think I would be hiding the fact I was a guy under the guise of a female or something. So 1 more time…

I AM A MALE PERSON!!!

No confusion now.

Anna: Yeah. I changed him a tiiiny bit now. He wouldn't have gotten up to help Kagome before. Heheheheh.

Suya: Yeah I know they used Ranma's voice. But the guy has really good control over his voice, so he can make himself sound different. There are still similarities though.

BeyondWords: Eh. I'm falling behind. I only got 91.

FranceGamble: Thanks for the idea I got from your fic.

IMPORTANT READ THIS BEFORE I SMACK YOU: And you know what? I just noticed that ff.net doesn't recognize different inequality () marks. So it's always text. What the hell is up with that? What should I change it to? Anyone?

And just 1 more note. Osuwari is a type of sit that you say _only to dogs_. If you were to tell a person to sit/osuwari like that, it would be considered an insult. That's why it can also be translated sorta like 'sit boy' or something like that.

I was watching Neon Genesis Evangelion again the other day and I realized something. Asuka (jap) has a worse German accent than me, and I'm a first year _French_ student. O_O

You know, I was thinking I gotta add way way more inu/kag fluff. I love inu/kag fluff, yet my fic is mysteriously lacking. Why?

Recap. Sess is all pissy because Kagome keeps sitting Inuyasha. He thinks it's pitiful. So he attacks Kagome. And she is DEAD NOW! Muahahahahaha. No. Actually she isn't.

"Stop." he said simply.

"Eek!" she screamed again, and backed away. Inuyasha was still struggling to get out of the hole Kagome had dug for him with the power of a certain necklace, while Sesshoumaru was slowly walking towards Kagome, cracking the joints of his clawed hand menacingly… He was now only a few feet away from the terrified girl. Sesshoumaru drew his hand back… and brought it forward with blinding speed.

"Sankon Tetsuo!" screamed Inuyasha desperately. His claws hit Sesshoumaru's arm only about an inch from Kagome's face. Kagome was now screaming like a school girl, which was forgivable, due to the fact that Kagome was a school girl. Sesshoumaru's forearm was bleeding, but he was smirking.

"Pitiful. That was too close, Inuyasha. How can you expect to defend your wench from Naraku?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter! DON'T EVER TRY AND TOUCH MY WENCH AGAIN!" he screamed in a rage. Kagome sweat-dropped.

Don't ever try and touch my wench again? she thought incredulously. "Inuyasha?" she asked innocently. Inuyasha ran to her side as quickly as possible.

"Kagome! Are you alright?" he asked frantically. Please please please please please! I would never forgive myself… not again… he unconsciously looked at his left arm.

"Yes, I'm fine Inuyasha but…"

"But what??" he asked, still frantic.

Her face darkened… "SINCE WHEN AM I YOUR WENCH??" she screamed.

"Sorry!" he said defensively. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking at him, but he was incredibly relieved that Kagome wasn't hurt. If anything happened to you… he thought. But different emotions caused different chemicals to run through your blood stream, slightly altering your scent. Inu youkai had one of, if not _the_ most powerful noses in the demon world. So of course Sesshoumaru was able to tell.

"Well Inuyasha. I have a deal for you." he said.

"Kagome, go inside Kaede's hut."

"No." she replied.

"Kagome…! I don't have time for this right now. Go!" he said. She saw the look of seriousness in his eyes and complied. "What is it." he asked his brother.

"If you can win against me in a duel, I will give up my attempts to obtain the Tetsusaiga. And I will recognize our common blood." he stated. To put it simply, Inuyasha was shocked. The incarnation of the universe face vaulted. That's how shocking Sesshoumaru's proposition was.

"Er." was all Inuyasha could say. That's how surprised he was. "If I lose?" he asked, actually showing some foresight for once.

"You hand over the fang." he said. Of course that was the catch. Inuyasha smacked himself for not realizing it. "In the event of a draw, I will recognize our common blood, however, I will continue my pursuit of father's fang." he said.

"Keh! Like you could ever get fight me to a _draw_" he said.

"Keep in mind this time, that your friends will not be helping you." Sesshoumaru stated.

"Keep your stupid lackey out of this also then." replied Inuyasha.

"Of course." he said smugly.

"I accept. On one condition." Inuyasha was saying the 'on x condition' line a lot lately. "The battle takes place in the forest."

"Why?" asked Sesshoumaru.

"Because when I'm finished smacking you around, the damn humans are going to make me rebuild their town." he said as if it were obvious.

"Fine." Sibling rivalry at it's worst.

~~~In Inuyasha Forest~~~

"Start on the count of three." said Jaken, who agreed to 'referee' the fight. "One. Tw-" that was as far as he got, since both brothers had cheated, and attacked on the 1.8 mark.

Both had leapt forward and swung their respective swords . Sesshoumaru horizontally and Inuyasha downwards. Tetsusaiga hit Toukijin, pinning it to the ground. Inuyasha used this to his advantage by sinking his left hand's claws into his shoulder, drawing blood. "Hijin Ketsusou!" he screamed, sending the claws of blood at his stationary adversary. Sesshoumaru took this moment to twist the Toukijin, causing the Tetsusaiga to fly to the right, leaving Sesshoumaru free to block his half-brothers attack with the sword. The Demon Lord dashed right and jumped, unleashing a blast of Kenatsu at Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodged to the left, escaping damage while he performed a Kaze no Kizu at his brother, who had long since landed, and had continued dashing right. Sesshoumaru blasted the blades of wind with the Toukijin, negating both attacks. It was at this point that Inuyasha noticed something vital. The kenatsu that came from Toukijin was in fact, powered by his brother's youki. It was more like a youki stream, directed using the sword, which meant one very important thing.

He could use a Bakuryuuha on Sesshoumaru.

Inuyasha had to think quickly. How could he bait Sesshoumaru into attacking him with the kenatsu while giving Inuyasha enough time to do a Bakuryuuha?

Quickly dashing forward, Inuyasha swung the Tetsusaiga in a horizontal arc, causing Sesshoumaru to jump to avoid it. Sesshoumaru sent a wave of kenatsu at Inuyasha. The hanyou recognized that it was too close for him to pull a Bakuryuuha off, so he simply dashed left and jumped off a tree to meet Sesshoumaru in mid air. Sesshoumaru wasn't expecting his brother to use the terrain to his advantage, so he was caught totally off guard by his attack. Inuyasha swung the Tetsusaiga as quickly as he could, bringing it down vertically. Sesshoumaru barely blocked with the Toukijin, sending Sesshoumaru flying towards the ground, and Inuyasha up and the way he came, towards the same tree he pushed off of. He recognized a golden opportunity when he saw one, as his brother was just getting up from where he had fallen. He pushed off the tree again, this time so hard that the tree broke at the point where his foot hit it, springing diagonally down towards his brother, Tetsusaiga's tip pointing at his brother's chest, a little to the right off center. Inuyasha had bet that his brother would dodge right, meaning the Tetsusaiga would still at least graze his side. Inuyasha had assumed correctly, and had opened up a cut in Sesshoumaru's side.

Sesshoumaru ignored the pain and made a rolling recovery from his dodge to the side. Sesshoumaru, seeking to distract his brother, leapt up and backwards, sending another blast of kenatsu at Inuyasha.

This was the moment Inuyasha had been waiting for. Seeing the kenatsu coming at him, he made the kaze no kizu surround the Tetsusaiga. Leaping up to meet the kenatsu, he saw it. The spot he had to hit for the Bakuryuuha to activate. "Kaze no Kizu!" he yelled, swing the sword diagonally. Just like the time he had used it on Ryuukotsusei, a large mass of tornados formed.

Sesshoumaru was surprised when Inuyasha had leapt up to _meet_ his kenatsu. He thought something was wrong, and he was right. Somehow, Inuyasha had tangled his youki in the kaze no kizu, causing at least 12 tornados to form. They moved towards him in their sporadic fashion, and he had no doubt in his mind that they would be able to slice all the way through his body. He dodged left, forwards, up and left, down and left, backwards, left, forwards, and straight up to dodge 3 of the tornados that had headed to the spot he was standing in at the same time. He had jumped straight up into a place where the 3 tornados were in a prime position to converge on him. Unfortunately for him, he didn't notice this. He saw it as a chance to attack Inuyasha, so he sent a wave of kenatsu at Inuyasha, who dodged left into another blast of energy from Toukijin.

Damn! How did he do that? he thought just as the wave hit him. It burned off most of his haori, severely burning his skin in the process. The burn actually went much deeper, causing him to lose enough flesh that the bottom pair of his ribs were visible, and had actually burned a hole all the way through his stomach. That seemed to happen a lot to Inuyasha…

Sesshoumaru, however thought he was victorious. "Tetsusaiga is mine, bro--" he only got that far, when, to his shock, _four_ tornados converged at him. He tried to leap through the opening, but due to the erratic course that the tornados took, it hit him anyway, knockin him back, and leaving a deep gouge in his front, and also knocked him back into the spot that the other three were quickly converging on… When he finally fell to the ground, he had 4 very large gouges, at least 2 inches deep, all over him, as well as a hole through his stomach, courtesy of the tip of a tornado behind him. It had narrowly missed his spine. He fell to the ground 2 seconds later than Inuyasha.

"…" he said.

"Do.. Do you.. Want to call it a… *cough* draw?" Inuyasha asked.

"Ne-- *wince* Never!" Sesshoumaru yelled, causing him to cough up some blood from a punctured lung.

"Fi.. Fine you bastard." said Inuyasha trying pitifully to haul himself up using the Tetsusaiga.

"I'll kill you." Sesshoumaru said, trying to do the same. They both collapsed at the same time. Inuyasha growled, still trying to get up. Sesshoumaru however, was laying still. Thinking.

"Draw." he declared.

"Draw." agreed Inuyasha. They both slipped mercifully into unconsciousness…

Review! I love getting reviews. I wanna break 100 by chapter 10.
