Author's Corner!!

Shi-chan: =^o^= MEOW! I finally updated my stories! YAYNESS! (In other words, if you're into some of my other fanfictions, they might've been updated as well so check them out also! ^^)

Inuyasha: Just HAD to make us all wait in angst and agony forever DIDN'T YOU? YOU'RE THE REAL DEMON!

Shi-chan: Huuuuuh? MEEEEEE? Never! The, uh, horns are there to hold up my halo! *whistles innocently*

Inuyasha: e.e I'm going to pretend that didn't happen...

Shi-chan: Ehehehe... Dawdling! Ehehehe! (See From the Darkest of Shadows Chapter Three if you wanna know what's up with that ^^;; Warning: Very creepy! LOL)

***WARNING*** SESSHOUMARU ON MAJOR SUGAR-HIGH IN THIS CHAPTER! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! (Sorry I just really love the idea of him getting super hyper XD)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha swallowed angrily and grabbed some miscellaneous brown object out of Kagome's backpack, which she had left back in Kaede's village. "I HATE YOU SESSHOUMARU! THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN BE MY OLDER BROTHER!" The hanyou screamed as loud as he possibly could, just before he launched the object at his elder brother.

Sesshoumaru caught the object effortlessly and brought it up to his nose, a nice scent catching his interest. Kagome's eyes grew wide when she saw the word carved into the front of it. Just as her mate began to eat the UFO (Unidentified Food Object XD), the mortal girl screamed, "NO, SESSHOUMARU DON'T! IT'S... CHOCOLATE!"

The Lord of the Western Lands stood still for a moment, unmoving, when his eyes suddenly enlarged. His face became an odd pinkish colour, and an abnormal smile plastered itself across his face. "KAGOME-CHAN! KAGOME- CHAN!" He yelled in a voice similar to Rin's, glomping the teenager.

No one could believe what they were seeing. Was it truly possible that the esteemed, prestigious prince youkai was on a... sugar-high? The group watched, dumbfounded, as the youkai began singing a song from Kagome's time that he had heard her singing on several occasions before.

"Strapped down and heavy... Tied up and bound. This weight I carry... This weight I've found...

"So let... me... be the one to say: I've really had enough.

"Downfallen on.... yes you meant the world to me... My sweet love, so headstrong! Strong! Watch me... fall!

"One time too many... you let me down. Won't think what could be. Can't feel much now.

"Downfallen on.... yes you meant the world to me... My sweet love, so headstrong! Strong! Watch me...

"Change this world inside of you... Change this world inside of you... Does it really mean that much to you, to hide your fear? To test the way I feel... To test the way I feel... To test the way I feel... To test that way I... feel?

"Doooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!! Watch me crawl, watch me break! Watch me crawl, watch me throw it all away!

"Downfallen on.... yes you meant the world to me... My sweet love, so headstrong! Strong! Watch me...

"I can't believe the things you say. So wrongful how I feel this way... I'm sleeping to relieve this strain. So calmly, sadly, softly... Just let it all just drift away... Let it all just drift away..." (Anyone else here a fanatic of Anne Rice? :) Ehehehe...)

Kagome's eyes went wide and she suddenly turned bright pink. "WHY HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO ME SING IN THE SAUNA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" She demanded, picking up a rock and chunking it at her mate.

Sesshoumaru grinned and linked arms with her, his voice suddenly oddly babyish. "'Cause Kagome-chan! I WUUUUUUUUUUUVVVVVVVV you!" With that, he began dancing circles around the group, yelling, "ring around the rooster!" A sweat-drop formed on the side of Miroku's head as he informed the youkai, "It's ring around the rosary actually..." Inuyasha flicked the monk in the back of the head, "Is not! It's ring around the rosemary!" (Insert repetitive and disturbing argument here 'cause my hands hurt and I'm too lazy to do it LOL)

Because no one would decide on what the song really said, the inu prince grinned and began singing all the different variations as he pranced around them. Suddenly, Kagome fell on the group have spasms from the shock of seeing Sesshoumaru in such a state. "Kagome-chan," Sango yelled in alarm. "Ooh, that is IT!" The exterminator screamed, pulling out her abnormally large boomerang.

"Hiraikotsu!" With that, she launched it at the Lord of the West, making it hit him in the head and knock him out cold. "Well, that should hold him off until he's returned to his normal state ne?" The perverted monk asked, grinning. Inuyasha rolled his eyes in response and kicked his brother's unconscious form. "Feh, whatever. Looks like you're stuck until moron over here decides to wake up, huh," he mocked, walking off in aggravation.

Sango and Miroku looked after the hanyou a moment and shook their heads. "He's just still angry about you becoming Sesshoumaru's mate versus his... He'll get over it eventually, so don't mind him," the youkai slayer informed her friend, smiling slightly. Miroku beamed and nodded, "Hai, Kagome-sama! We'll stay here with you until he wakes up and protect you," the monk announced, seating himself next to the teenager.

SLAP! "Miroku, quit being such a pervert!" The futuristic girl screamed within only seconds. Sango giggled under her breath and pulled him away. "You're in trouble, mister..."
