Disclaimer:  Can I own Miroku? *lawyers shake heads* Can I own Fluffy? *lawyers shake heads again*  ……..KOUGA?!  *lawyers menacingly hold up lawsuits* ……Well, if I can't own them, than what's the point of owning Inuyasha? *sighs in defeat* I don't own it and I never will. Happy now?!

Ch. 2: On the Way

          "Amuse me, Jaken," sighed Sesshomaru.

          Jaken blanched and asked," Um, M'lord?"

          "I, Sesshomaru, am bored.  AMUSE ME!!!" He commanded.

          Jaken, grasping for straws, blurted," W-what about Tetsusaiga, M'lord? Can you not practice wielding it so you can destroy Inuyasha?"

          "……..very well, if you insist, Jaken," Sesshomaru smirked.  And with that, he slashed through the disgusting toad with Tetsusaiga.  Then, using Tenseiga, he revived him. 

Jaken, nauseous from being resurrected and shivering in fright, nearly shrieked," M-m'lord, why did you do that?!  Have I not been your faithful follower?!"

"Oh shut up, Jaken.  This is amusing me." And for the next two hours, he made a game of alternately using Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga on Jaken and random demon servants in his castle.

"HOLD STILL AND LET ME KILL YOU!!  I AM YOUR MASTER, OBEY ME!!!"

"AIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!"

"SESSHOMARU-SAMA'S GONE INSAAAAAAAAAAANE!!!"

"HEAD FOR THE HILLS!!"

"NO, HEAD FOR THE CAVES! THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC!"

          "Are we there yet?"

          "No Shippo, that's the tenth time you've asked in-"

          "I'm thirsty!"

          "I spy something GREEN!"

          "I'm tired."

          "Let me guess, the trees?"

          "No, the grass!"

          "I'm hungry!"

          "EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! ALL YOUR FUCKIN' WHINING IS GETTING ON MY NERVES!" Inuyasha shouted, reaching his breaking point.  Sango, Kirara, Miroku, Kagome, and Shippo looked at him in amazement.  He only used two swear words! He really WAS getting more civilized!

          After walking for nearly two days, Inuyasha seemed to be getting more and more comparable to a PMS-ing rhino.  It didn't help matters that they were blindly walking into the Demon Lord's territory without a plan or that besides the Kazanna and Hiraikotsu, they were practically defenseless.  Yup, the joys of anxiety attacks.  

          Kagome said," Hey Inuyasha, why don't we take a break?"

          Inuyasha, the yang to her yin, yelled," Why the HELL do we have to take a fucking break?! We're all FINE, dammit!"  Kagome sweatdropped and pointed to the fainted Kirara, Miroku sprawled on the ground wheezing, and the panicking Sango who was also on the ground, desperately trying to regain the feeling in her legs. 

          Inuyasha argued," SHIPPO'S fine and if HE can move, then so can WE!"

          Shippo raised his eyebrow and said," Inuyasha, I've been ridding on Kagome's shoulder for hours.  Of COURSE I'm okay! Do you EVER see me walking?" He proudly slapped his thighs," I'd be surprised if these puppies could drag me through a meadow!"

          "How are we ever going to catch up to Sesshomaru at THIS rate?" Inuyasha growled.

          Miroku commented," So we ARE going after Sesshomaru!" Grinning, he turned to Sango and said," Pay up, sister." 

          As Sango handed him a bag of Doritos she grumbled," I was SURE we were hunting down NARAKU….."

          Inuyasha fumed," Of COURSE we're hunting down that bastard! He stole Tetsusaiga, remember?!"  

          Sango asked," Hang on, which bastard are we talking about here?"

          Miroku added," I am confused also."  Inuyasha's only response was a shout of frustration. 

          Kagome patted him on the shoulder and said," Don't worry Inuyasha, they're only teasing you!  They knew all along who we were hunting down!"

          Inuyasha mumbled," Feh."

          Miroku seriously said," But at the rate we're going, we should run into him within the week."  Inuyasha only feh'ed in response.

          Kagome fumed," What is UP with you? I told you it was just harmless teasing! Really!"  Kirara chose that moment to run up to Inuyasha and steal his fire-rat jacket.

          "DAMMIT, AND THAT WAS CUSTOM-MADE! FUCKIN' CAT, GET THE FUCK BACK HERE WITH MY COAT!!!!!  WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE STEALING MY STUFF!!! HEEEEEY!"

          Unknown to the hysterically laughing group and pissed off hanyou, a figure in the shadows looked on and smiled.
