Legal Note: I don't own Inu-yasha. Why not? Because I lost it in a bid for copyright. The winner was Rumiko Takahashi. It helps that she made it and I just wanted to be able to say I owned it. Anyway lets move on.

"You'll have to do better than that my lord." Myoga said this as jumping away from my Heisotsu swing.

"Grr! I know that!" I swung hitting him into the ground. "I think I got the hang of this."

"My lord Inu-yasha maybe you can get better training from the exterminator." The flea said rising from the ground.

"From Sango? Pheh. Yeah right." I turned away arms folded.

"Come on. I know you want to see lady Kagome." I quickly stepped on the demon.

"Pheh. And why would I want to see that wench?" I said it with venom in my voice, but a part of me did want to go see her. I stepped off of the flea.

"It was just a suggestion." In a daze Myoga stumbled to the ground.

"It was a good suggestion. Let's go then." I turned putting Heisotsu to my side as Myoga jumped to my shoulder.

"My lord's mind works in strange ways." I flicked him to the ground.

"I can still hear you!"

"Kagome! Inu-yasha's back!" The young fox demon jumped into the girl's arms as I came to Kaede's village.

"Kagome." I said straight-faced.

"So you decided to return?" The girl looked at me as if I were diseased.

"Where are the others?" I was looking for the monk and the exterminator.

"What does it matter to you?" She said that awfully coldly.

"What's your problem Kagome?!" I turned to her in anger. She looked awfully surprised.

"Y-You called me Kagome."

"Huh? So what? That's your name right? Now stop being stupid. I have things to do." I turned heading for Kaede's hut.

"He's nicer today." The kit said as I walked away.

"Only by a little." The girl added as I entered to find Miroku passed out on the floor with a red handprint on his face. He tried to feel up Sango again no doubt.

"Welcome back Inu-yasha. You had Kagome worried. What do you think you were doing running away like that?" The exterminator said to me saying angry words in a calm manner.

"Listen up, you will teach me how to use the Heisotsu here." I drew the Heisotsu from my side.

"Where'd you get that thing?"

"Toto-sai made it for me. I plan to defeat my brother with this."

"Excuse me Inu-yasha. I thought ye left to be cured" The old miko said from across the room.

"I did hag. I need the blood of the demon that cursed me. The only blood left is on the Tetsuaiga."

"And Sessho-maru has Tetsuaiga." The monk said as if he were a sage sitting up almost defying gravity.

"I should have hit him harder. Oh well." The exterminator said sighing and shrugging shoulders.

"You will help me Sango."

"I don't know why I should."

"I wasn't asking." I gave a slight grin. If I still had my fangs it would've given a better impression.

"Fine Inu-yasha. I'll see if I can get anything through that thick skull of yours." She gave me a "Back off buster" smile.

"Why you." I clenched my fist.

"Remember Inu-yasha, in your human form you're not much a challenge for me." She said this waving a finger.

"Pheh. I can still defeat you woman." I crossed my arms giving a sour look.

"Lets get started now then you big idiot." She stood up kicking the monk who was trying to peek up her kimono.

I spent all of the day training with the Heisotsu. I believe I may be able to defeat Sessho-maru with it now. So tomorrow we're heading out to find him. Everyone was asleep now; the monk was outside the hut as a precaution, the exterminator inside with the girl and the damn kitsune. I tried sleeping up in a tree like normal, but I fell to the ground. A drop like that didn't use to hurt so much. Maybe it was just because I fell on my head. I may be human, but I'm a tough one. I decided to lean against the tree like I do other times. It was quiet out, more so now that my ears were gone. Usually I'd have to kill every cricket to get some sleep.

"What a day." I shut my eyes leaning totally into the tree.

"I'm glad you came back Inu-yasha." I opened my eyes to the girl. She took a seat beside me.

"What do you want?" I turned to meet her angry eyes.

"You idiot. Why do you do these things?" Damnit. She started crying. What's with this girl and shedding tears for stupid reasons.

"Hey! No crying you got that?" I saw her stop, but I think it just made her cry more.

"Listen, I want you to stop the crying. I don't want you to cry. I'll do my best to make sure you never cry again." I calmed down sighing looking away from her.

"Inu-yasha. Why are you such a jerk?" I snapped my head back to her in anger.

"Hey! I'm trying to be nice here!"

"Let me finish. I mean, sometimes you are a huge jerk. What you just said, was totally unexpected of you." She gave a smile as I settled back in my spot. She wasn't crying anymore.

"Whatever." She then leaned into me, and I felt my face become reddish. Was I blushing again? I looked to her to talk, but she was asleep. "Good night Kagome."

"G'night…Inu…Yasha." She mumbled that as if half awake. Her face looked better with that smile on her face. Most of the time she wore a different one though. I wish she would keep this one on more. I looked up to the sky. I became tired, and began to just, drift away.

"C'mon guys! The Tetsuaiga's not gonna find itself!" I was anxious to get going running to the end of the village.

"Just hold your horses Inu-yasha." The girl came wearing her large bag.

"I don't own horses." She looked at me like some freak then just shrugged it off.

"So you think you can defeat your brother now?" The monk said coming up to us.

"I think he has a chance. Mind you it may be small." The exterminator said that coming up behind him. Her words sunk my high spirit.

"Ah, come off it guys. Inu-yasha can beat him." The girl said placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Pheh. Lets go then." I walked away letting her hand fall back.

"Okay Kilala. Lets find Sessho-maru." The kit said to the small demon before they began sniffing out my brother. Only they could do that for now.

"My lord Inu-yasha, may you have a safe journey." The damn flea said jumping away.

"Hey! Oh I see, you're too afraid to go along. Pheh. Who needs you anyway." I gave him an icy glare walking away following the two smaller demons. I will find you brother.
