** Yeah, I figured it might be fun for you guys if the first eight chapters would be readable too… So I'm posting them in HTML format so it's better to read with the… triple dot and stuff. So I hope you enjoy!!! By the way, I'm not posting them all at the same time, so it might occur the first 2 or 3 chapters are in HTML and the other 5 or 6 still with one dot instead of three. Just thought you might want to know…**

Final Breakdowns and Still Doubting…

Chapter 1

Inuyasha and the gang were about to take a break. They had been searching for shards for about a week, without any success, so they decided that if they couldn't find any more shards, Naraku probably would also have troubles finding them. It was time for a well-deserved break.

"Ah, damn it! I don't care about those fucking shards! Let Naraku search for 'em! I'll defeat him afterwards!" Inuyasha yelled. He was a being a little more pissed of then normally.

"But what if there were just no more shards left?" Kagome wandered loudly.

*That can't be, right? It can't be the little shards we have already make the Tama with the huge shard Naraku has. It CAN'T be!*

"Feh! And they say I'M simple minded! Kagome, just that we can't find them, doesn't mean that there are no more left! They are just hard to find, or Naraku just has found some new shards before we got 'em!"

"My mind is gonna crack!" Shippo screamed," Can't we forget about it for one day!"

"Shippo does have a point you know…" Sango also looked really tired of all those days, "We could all use a real day off!"

"Yeah, I think that is a great idea. Besides, Kagome-sama has to go home someday!" Miroku added.

"Oh that's right! How many days have we been here, searching…" she asked, a bit nervous.

"Seven days 'till now, but I don't really get the point here!" Inuyasha said to her, looking very non-understanding.

"SEVEN DAYS?! Oh, when did I leave…O NO! I've missed two tests already!"

*Geez! I should've known! Those stupid "tests" that seem so VERY "important"! What's that about anyway! It's that Hoho-boy I guess…*

"Guys, I'm sorry, I really have to go now! I can't afford to miss any more tests. I'll see you in, ehm…three days alright?"

"THREE WHOLE DAYS?! What's so important! What are all those tests about anyway?"

"Inuyasha! PLEASE let me go, I'll have really big trouble if I don't!" Kagome almost begged him to…but she wasn't gonna do THAT!

"But WHY three days, I mean what is really so important?"

"Well, it's just…my best friend…It's her birthday and I really promised to come…I haven't been doing fun things with her for a long time now, so…I'll go now, bye everyone!" and all of the sudden she jumped into the well.

"But…HEEY! Wait a minute!" he yelled after her.

"Kagome-sama isn't stupid, Inuyasha. She knows she has to explain every little thing she does to you. She probably needed to get home real quick. So, she just ran off!" Miroku explained…or sort of…

"Feh! That wench! She always does stuff like that!"

*Leaving me alone for three days…*

"So what are we going to do…" Sango said with a deep wrinkle in her forehead.

"You know…maybe we could do some fun game!" Shippo was smiling.

"Maybe…we should split up and see what happens…" Miroku suggested.

"But…WHY in the world should we do that!" Sango asked.

"Well, doesn't matter to me! I'll be staying alone anyhow! I can take care of myself!" and with that Inuyasha walked of to the forest that was named after him.

"Would you play a game with me, Sango?"

"Shippo, we are playing a game already!" Miroku said.

"We ARE?" Sango said, notice the sarcasm in her voice…^.^

"Yeah, we are…"

"I don't think it's a nice game! I wanna go play tag or something!"

"What is the stupid game about anyway?"

"It's about being separated from your lover…AND if you can stand to be away from the other person for as long the time is!" Miroku said with a ^_^ face…

Inuyasha IS a dog, you know, and of course he accidentally heard all of it on purpose…

(AN: Yeah…nice grammar there, ne? *_*)

*Feh! What is THAT for a stupid game! But I don't see who the lovers are, those who are separated. Sango-Miroku? Nope…too lechery, that houshi…Shippo's too young to fall in love…Leaves me…I'm a hanyou, don't fall in love. That means Kagome must be in love with someone…but SHE always is the one that leaves, right? So IF the &%%#$% game is to work, the other must love her back…MIROKU?!!!*

Inuyasha fell out of his tree with a loud *THUD*. Definitely not noticed by Miroku, Shippo and Sango of course…

*Miroku…Get your paws of Kagome!*

"Oi! Inuyasha! What is WRONG with you!" Shippo yelled.

"Feh!"

He finally realised the meaning of this game, ne? Inuyasha?" Miroku blinked at him.

"Grrrrrrrrrr…I don't understand ANYTHING of this stupid game! You lechery monk! What actually IS the meaning of this game!" he asked, rather dumb. He was still staring at the monk with disbelief…

"Ai…I thought you would have heard it from there…"

"I did, but I still don't get it…"

"Well, you'll find out after a while…"

"Feh! Don't mind me, you know! I was gonna spend those nice and quiet days by myself anyhow!"

"Well, I'll be going to my old home. Shippo, maybe you'd stay with Kaede. That is the best solution, I think!" Miroku said to the others.

"I'm with Kirara somewhere around the village, I guess."

And with that they leave each other.

Okay, guys! I decided to do it in chapters after all, but notice that there is a songfic version for some of the chapters, so watch where you're clicking if you wanna read the next chapter. Anyway, have lots of fun with my 'way-too-long' story, I hope you like it. I'll be posting one chapter in a week I guess, because I have to make the songfic somehow. I guess it'll make reading a bit more complicated, but I so wanna make this a songfic! Maybe I'd just do one chapter a songfic and the other normal. I guess that's a good idea! Yo, I'm getting ideas while writing this… So what I'm gonna do is:

~I'll SWITCH from songfic to normal fic!~ ^.^ Okay, that was it…
