Author's notes: A great pass time when you are at home alone and have
nothing to do: write the next five chapters to your fiction. That's what I
seem to be doing.
If you can come up with a name for the furry boa thing Sesshomaru wears, I will be very grateful.

Kagome woke up the next morning and looked around at everybody. Shippo, who was cuddling between herself and Sango, Miroku who was sitting next the sleeping InuYasha, who had transformed back to his normal state. Except, something wasn't right...SESSHOMARU!!
She looked around the room again, and realized that not only was he gone, but so was the Tetsusaiga. She didn't wake up InuYasha and the others, but left to go look for the demon herself. He would pay for this one. What was really getting her was how he could even touch the Tetsusaiga.
"Lord Sesshomaru can touch the Tetsusaiga," said a voice by her ear, "Is because of his sudden need to protect Lord InuYasha. That's my guess anyway." Kagome looked to the side only to see Myoga. "Saying that, I will be on my way."
She continued to walk. Then she saw him. He wasn't far indeed from the village, standing on the bank of a hot spring. Only, he wasn't dressed all the way...at least not for travel. He wore only a plain kimono; he was soaking wet, wore no armor, no shoes, no sash, he didn't have his own blade, none of his eye make-up, and (to her surprise) his stole was gone. He didn't seem so fearsome anymore, without his armor and weaponry.
She watched him draw the blade and hold it out in front of his face. He tried some moves that she had only ever seen on TV, that InuYasha didn't know. And she had to admit, he was graceful. Alone one of those movements might be laughed at, but when put together, she saw that Sesshomaru must be a skilled fighter indeed.
She quietly returned to the tavern, InuYasha was awake, along with everybody else. He was growling, cursing himself for being so stupid as to fall for Sesshomaru's trick. She then saw a bundle that hadn't been there before. Opening it, she found all of Sesshomaru's things.
"He's not left, InuYasha," she said.
"What d'you mean? Of course he has, and he tricked me to get the Tetsusaiga," InuYasha said, snarling.
"Would he leave this behind?" she asked, holding up the white stole. It was softer than it looked, and she got the urge to steal it from Sesshomaru.
The others were confused about this.
"Kagome...put it back," InuYasha said somewhat desperately. Then, "PUT IT BACK!! If he catches you with that, he'll personally skin you. He's coming now, I can smell him."
Kagome, who had tried it on only to find that it dragged on the ground, put it back in the bundle and tied it up. She was only just in time. The door opened, and Sesshomaru entered with the Tetsusaiga.
It was practically thrust into InuYasha's hand before Sesshomaru bent down to retrieve his things.
It was interesting watching him get dressed. First he put on his outer kimono, then the armor, which turned out to be two pieces: the main armor and the spikes. Then his sword attached to a belt that went over the armor, and his sash tied over the belt to hide the ugly article. Next he put on his shoes, then his eye make-up. Last did the stole, which he handled with much more loving care than InuYasha did with Tetsusaiga.
At last they were ready to leave.
It was around noon that a complaint came out of InuYasha. "I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry," Kagome said, "stop being such a whiner."
"Excuse me, but I am NOT a whiner!"
"Yes you are!"
"Perhaps I can help you..." a voice purred from a nearby bush. Out walked a demon. A cat demon, to be specific. She had black ears and a tail, and her hair was tied back loosely. It was her clothes that got them though---
"You're dressed a bit after your time, aren't you? And, in European clothes," Kagome said.
Indeed she was. She wore cream coloured pants, and thigh-high boots. She had a white cotton shirt on with the sleaves rolled up and a black silk vest with silver buttons.
"The barbarians," Sango muttered.
"Yes, I must admit that some of us are. And yes, I am dressed after this time, but I don't know how I got here and refuse to dress in *their* clothes. Besides, at least I'm not dressed like...that," she said, raising an eyebrow at Kagome's short skirt that went with her school uniform. "By the way, I'm Marine. You may call me Captain or Ma'am."
"First of all, this is not your ship," InuYasha said indignantly. "And second, no one ever said that you could join us. And I don't take orders from people."
"You may join us," Sesshomaru said. "I need some people of intelligence in this useless crowd. You may call me, My Lord. Or simply Lord Sesshomaru, if it suits you better, Captain."
"Hey! Who said you could invite anybody? You aren't leader," InuYasha snapped, his eyes bugging out.
"If you look at it that way, then," Sesshomaru looked past his brother at Kagome, "would you mind another joining our group."
"Go ahead and invite her."
"Thank you."
Marine looked between InuYasha and Sesshomaru. "Brothers?" she asked. "You two look like it."
"How am I like him?!" they exclaimed in unison, pointing at each other.
"Well, you both have white hair, both have amber eyes. You both have this prideful air about you," she said rather brightly, circling the two. "Now, shall we continue. And you should introduce yourselves."
"I'm Miroku, a simple monk. That it Lady Kagome, whom Sesshomaru has just as good as deemed the leader of us."
"I am Myoga----the divine grace----the flea. I am on the shoulder of Lord InuYasha, and over there next to Lady Kagome is Lady Sango. She's a demon exterminator."
"Great," InuYasha growled, "another companion."

Sort of an strange chapter for me. Interesting, yes, but strange.
