Marlee Roman Cruz: Thank you!! That would be cool!!
Hakusho009: I said I had two reviews for THIS story...hn. I guess you're not reading this story...pointless space here, then...cool
Kitsune-Miako: That is who I'm leaning towards to be the father, but I haven't decided for sure yet (like I said, I'm winging this and writing it in GT.)
Essence of Randomness: (cool name, by the way!) Thanks!! This is my first fanfic that I'm making up as I go along, and it's turning out pretty good, wouldn't you say?
Disclaimer: No, it just so happens that I don't own the damn show. Sesshoumaru himself, on the other hand...heh heh heh...I'd like that...

"Hey, Kagome..." said Shippou. "Not that I want you to go back or anything, but you're usually gone after two and a half weeks."
"Oh...I just wanted to spend more time with you guys is all."
'Nice save,' thought Inuyasha sarcastically from above in one of the trees that lined the path.
"Hey, what's that up ahead?" asked Sango, pointing at an indistinct blob on the crest of the next hill, some distance away.
"I dunno...doesn't look to be alive anymore, whatever it was," said Inuyasha, jumping down to land beside the taijiya.
"Suppose we better check it out."
***
True, it wasn't alive anymore, though it clearly had been once. The thing on the ground was merely a heap of scaly flesh, sitting there rotting away as if there weren't a care in the world.
"Ugh, I'm pretty sure that's dragon. But there's something else here, too. Dunno what, though. The smell of dead dragon is too strong to tell it apart," said Inuyasha, covering his nose with the sleeve of his haori.
"That's disgusting. That's really disgusting. Let's go," said Kagome.
But the dragon was just the beginning. Upon reaching the top of the next hill, where the forest that fringed the left side of the path stopped and a large valley opened up, they witnessed the aftermath of the worst battle any of them had seen yet.
"Countless thousands," breathed Miroku.
"No way was this a battle. A demon slaughtered them all."
"No way we're gonna bury them all."
"Inuyasha!"
"What? You don't expect us to bury them all, do you?"
"Point made. Let's go then. I can't bear the smell of my brother any longer"
"So Sesshoumaru murdered them all?"
"Smells like it."
***
Sesshoumaru had slaughtered those humans. Why? He didn't need a reason. He did what he wanted. But to slay what was easily over ten thousand humans—more than a hundred villages—was a little much even for him.
"Why do you think Sesshoumaru killed those people?" asked Kagome.
"Don't ask me. He doesn't really need a reason; he just goes and kills for the fun of it."
"That's creepy. I don't see why he would want to go and kill them just because...seems like his conscience must weigh a ton."
"Conscience? That idiot doesn't know the word even exists." Inuyasha stopped at the edge of the forest growing up to the path. 'Guess this is as good a place as any to stop for the night.'
"Why are you stopping, Inuyasha?" asked Sango.
"Guess I'm just tired." Miroku stepped up to him, tapping his staff on Inuyasha's head lightly.
"I get it."
"Get what?"
"You just want to cuddle by the fire with Kagome, don't you?" A split second later, he was on his back after being hit by both Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Does that answer your question, monk?" said Kagome huffily.
"No, actually," Miroku had the nerve to say.
"Miroku, you jackass, listen—"
"What Inuyasha is trying to say is, well, yes and no." Miroku, Sango, and Shippou looked at them queerly.
"Don't worry about it."
***
Kagome was asleep, resting against Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha stared up at the quarter moon, thinking his cute little hanyou brains out (some of the cuteness of those ears has to absorb into that thick skull, you know.).
"Inuyasha, what are you thinking about?" asked Miroku.
"None of your business."
"Oh, I see."
"It's not like that!"
"Sure."
"Would you give it a rest, Miroku? We don't need this from you. Especially not Kagome."
"..."
"Long story, don't ask."
[A/N: I'm thinking of setting a review goal for the next chapter. Let's make it easy and say...ten reviews. I'll get the chapter uploaded as soon as I write it, then I'll wait for ten reviews. Next Time: Will Inuyasha figure out why Sesshoumaru slaughtered the humans? Will the secret be spilled? Will Sesshoumaru get screen time???
Sesshoumaru: I hope so.
Inuyasha: Why should you even be in the story? My name is the title of the whole show. I should be the only character.
Miroku: One, that would be boring, and two, you wouldn't have Kagome around...
Inuyasha: Shut up.
Miroku: But you love her...
Inuyasha: *strangles Miroku* Do not!
Kagome: Ahem...
Inuyasha: oops.
Kagome: OSUWARI!!!!
Inuyasha: *plof* *leaves crater in ground* Bitch.]
