Sesshomaru: Will this torture never end?
Inuyasha: I don't know. The only way to find out would be to go into the future, but that is impossible.
Jaken: Not for Lord Sesshomaru, it isn't!
Inuyasha: o.o What the hell are you?!
Sesshomaru: Hm... The hydeously deformed toad is right! All I have to do is go into the future, and--
Tsuki: You don't have to go into the future to find out. I'll tell you.
Sesshomaru: Really?
Tsuki: Yep.
Sesshomaru: Well...?
Tsuki: Your situation doesn't improve. In fact, it gets worse.
Sesshomaru: Damnit. Do you hate me that much?
Tsuki: Don't be silly. If I hated you, then you'd be the next victum
Sesshomaru: Huh. That's comforting.
Tsuki: Isn't it?
Inuyasha: Enjoy reading chaper 11. At this rate, the story won't end anytime soon.

The next morning during breakfast, everybody was fairly quiet. They all tried to avoid eye contact, and when making it with someone, would immidiatly look down at their food. Everyone was acting normal besides that, though. Sesshomaru was still fasting. Kagome was still staring at Sesshomaru as though she had to treasure his presence as long as she could incase if this was all just a dream and she would awaken at any given moment. Kouga wolfed down his food quickly and was the first to leave, as always. Miroku would find a random object and stare at it for a while in deep thought. The others acted as they usually did as well.

After breakfast, Inuyasha walked slowly upstairs. He knocked on his brother's door, and Sesshomaru answered. As soon as he was welcomed in, the hanyou sat down on one of the beds. Sesshomaru did the same.

"Sesshomaru, I know what you did last night." Inuyasha said, sternly. Sesshomaru blinked, and showed a look of confusion. "What are you talking about, little brother?" He asked. Inuyasha smirked. "Don't give me that shit." He said. Sesshomaru was about to say something, but Inuyasha began to speak again. "You know, I could turn you into the police." He said, and smirked again.

Sesshomaru glared at him with narrowed eyes. "but I won't tell anyone." Inuyasha said. "On one condition." He added. Sesshomaru gave a very annoyed sigh. "You're blackmailing me again Inuyasha?" "Yep." "Figures. Wat do you want?"

"You to stay." Inuyasha said. Sesshomaru raised and eyebrow and laughed nervously. "What would ever make you think that I'd leave?" He asked. Inuyasha showed his biggenst smirk yet, and held up a small book. Sesshomaru froze in shock. "It says it all right here." Inuyasha said, in a mocking way. He opened and flipped through the pages. "Yesterdays entry. Ahem. 'In two days I am going to leave. I can't stand this any more, and besides I have all of the money I'd need.' I'll stop there. I never knew that you kept a diary."

Sesshomaru twitched. "It's a journal, and where did you get that?!" He demamded. "I found it." Inuyasha said, innocently. "But don't worry, I didn't read it all. Not yet, anyway."
"Give me that you damned little--"
"Catch me if you can!"
"Get the hell back here!"
"Make me!"
"I'll kill you!"
"Ahem. 'Not everything is too bad, though. Kagura--'
"DIIIIEEEE!"

Later, when Kouga opened the door to his room, he was greeted with a small book crashing into his face. "Ow! What the--" "Read it, Kouga!" Inuyasha yelled, and just as Sesshomaru began foreward he tackled him. Kouga blinked, and looked down at the book. He the looked up at Sesshomaru, trying to supress his laughter. Sesshomaru threw his brother off of him, causing Inuyasha to crash into the wall. Sesshomaru quickly snatched the journal out of Kouga's hand.

Kouga couldn't stop laughing. That is, until he saw the state of the room. Walls were cracked, the curtains were torn, one of the dresser droors was broken, there was a toothbrush stuck in Inuyasha's hair, the window was broken, and one of the pillows had been torn in two so feathers were spread all about the room. Pretty much everthing was broken or torn, and even a section of the wall was missing.

"Ehehehe... Oops. Gotta go!" Inuyasha said quickly, and hopped out of the window. Sesshomaru and Kouga just stared at each other. "You know, he stole your toothbrush." Sesshomaru pointed out. "You think I'd want it back?! What are we going to do about the roo--" "Shampoo is here!"

Sesshomaru tried not to moan. "Shampoo will fix up your room good, so Hojou will never know you broke it!" She said, smiling. "Really?" Kouga exclaimed, "That's great, Shampoo!" "But only if..." She added, slyly, "Sesshomaru date with Shampoo! Is deal?" She asked. Sesshomaru opened his mouth to protest, but Kouga cut him off. "Is deal!"

They left the room, and Sesshomaru immidiatly shot a glare at Kouga. "Why so cold?" Kouga asked, blinking. Sesshomaru gave him a look that plainly said 'How dare you even ask!' Kouga rolled his eyes. "It won't be that bad! Besides, would you rather have Hojou find out what we did to the room?" He asked. Sesshomaru did not reply. "See?" Kouga said, "It'll be fine." "For you." Sesshomaru added, coldly.

Shampoo had asked him to meet her in the dining room at 9:00 p.m. that night. This grieved Sesshomaru, but he didn't even get a change to refuse. He had a date with Shampoo at 9:00, and a date with Kagura at 10:00. If you would even call them dates, that is. He'd just have to make up some lame excuse to get away from Shampoo in time.

At about 4:00, Kagome went looking for Sesshomaru. She finially found him looking at books in the library. "Sesshomaru!" She shrieked excitedly, throwing her arms around him. "Oh, Hello Kagome." He said. Kagome failed to notice the lack of enthusiasm in his voice. "Hey, I wanted to as you something." She said, straightening up and looking at him. "Shoot." He stated.

"Would you like to join me downstairs in the pool in about four hours?" She asked, with her fingers crossed behind her back. Four hours would be at about 8:00. Sesshomaru gave his reply. "I'd love to, but--" "Really? That would be wonderful! I'll see you there!" Kagome said, before making her way out.

As she walked out, the cat walked in. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and I suppose you want a date with me too?" He asked, rhetorically. "Mew!" The cat said, cheerfully. It jumped on his head and lied dow, purring. "Ugh." Sesshomaru muttered.

Sango and Kagura stormed into Hojou's room. He looked up from his desk. "Is something the matter?" He asked. "Hojou, tell us more about Naraku's will." Sango said, and she as well as Kagura sat down on two chairs. By the looks of it, they weren't going to leave until they got what they wanted.

Hojou didn't look up at them. "What would you like to know?" He asked. "How murduring involves." Kagura stated. Hojou sighed, and looked down at a sheet of paper. "It is just like leaving. If you died, you wouldn't be able to get the fortune." He said. "Oh, really?" Sango murmured, sarcastically. "However," Hojou continued, "If the murderer is found to be not one of the twelve mentioned in the will, then those who are left will get an equal share of the fortune, and the other two items will be donated to the museum. Others may not interfere." He finished.

"Interesting..." Kagura murmured. "Can you tell us more? what happens if all of us die, or something?" Sango asked. Hojou gave a small chuckle. "I highly doubt that would happen, Sango." He said, and started shuffling his papers. She seized them from out of his hand and pounded them as well as her fist on his desk. "I'm serious." She said.

Hojou looked up at them, and a cheerful smile spread across his face. "If for any reason something happens to all of you that disables you from recieving the fortune, the mansion, or the gem, then they all go to me." He said. That answered their question.
