~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why Does He Keep Doing That?!?~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome flopped onto the forest floor. Looking at Sango she said, "Why does he keep doing that?!?"
"Maybe he's just shy around girls," Sango said.
"No. He did this at school that one day, remember? There was a whole crowd of people there," Kagome said, getting frustrated. She found a twig on the ground and started peeling off the outer bark.
"Well.maybe he just doesn't like people," offered Sango.
"Who hates everyone? No one can go around hating people, it's impossible! People are everywhere! He'd have to be a hermit to escape, and I didn't see him living in any caves." By now the twig was completely shaved. Kagome broke it in half and threw it aside.
"There's no sense in worrying about it now. We came here to go swimming didn't we? So let's go have fun and prepare ourselves for summer, only 2 weeks away!" Sango said, pulling her friend up.
Kagome smiled and went to her bag. At least for the day I can put him out of my mind, she thought, and ran to push Sango into the water.

Out of breath, Inuyasha stopped just short of the path that ran through the woods. Why the hell does this keep happening to me?!? He thought. Why can't I just be left alone? Is it not enough that I'm rejected at school, and everywhere else, I have to be mocked in my own sanctuary?
Inuyasha jogged along the path to a clearing on a hill that overlooked the forest. In the distance he could see his house, sitting proudly amidst the surrounding grasslands. Something fast moving caught his eye. He turned his head and his jaw dropped.
"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked, more surprised than angry.
"Hello, little brother," Sessho-maru said, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He moved forward and gave Inuyasha a swift hug.
"Do-does mom know you're here?" Inuyasha asked. He knew that in his mom's current state, news like this would surley put her in the hospital.
"No, I wanted you to be the first to greet me home. How have things been?"
"You mean in the last 3 months since you've been gone. Oh, you know, funerals, taking care of mom, school, and a little thing called peer pressure. You?" Inuyasha instantly put up a mental wall. He knew his brother hadn't come home just for fun, he wanted something. Well, he wasn't going to get it. The half-demon was tired of the constant mocking and beatings. He was tired of coming home to a mom who's basically dead from the grief of losing her husband. At least she tries to put on a strong front for me, he thought.
Sessho-maru turned, "Look, I didn't come home to fight. I cam home to fix my wrongs. Will you at least give me a chance?"
Inuyasha snorted, "It'll take you a hell of a time to fix your mistakes.But I guess I'll give you a chance. I swear, if you do anything to push mom farther off her rocker, you'll pay." Then he turned and left.
When Inuyasha was out of earshot, Sessho-maru said, "Indeed, little brother, you've grown stronger, and more foolish." Then he headed off to his home, laughing.

A/N: I'll try to write more often, especially over the upcoming break, but I'm having a little mental block. Happy Holidays!!
