Author's notes: I can't remember where I saw it, but InuYasha goes on a
killing spree sometime. Sesshomaru stops him. That's mentioned in this
chapter.

"So, you're looking for a dead priestess. And you want to know where she might be?"
They were sitting around a fire. Well, Sesshomaru, InuYasha, Miroku and Shippo were. The girls were busy bathing.
"Yeah. She keeps attacking Kagome," InuYasha said, looking into the flames.
"Yeah," said Shippo, "that and she keeps making you act funny in front of Kagome. Why do you think that is?" He was genuinely curious.
InuYasha gave an extremely loud cough and he and Miroku exchanged a glance.
"Well," Sesshomaru broke the uncomfortable silence. "What do you know about her?"
"She's dead and surviving off the souls of dead women."
"And?"
"......."
"She looks like Kagome?" suggested Miroku.
"No she doesn't!" InuYasha exclaimed.
"Kagome's WAY more beautiful," Added in Shippo.
"What else?"
"She's a bitch," Kagome said, sitting down between Shippo and InuYasha.
"No she isn't," InuYasha said.
"From what I heard, she is," Sesshomaru said, raising an eyebrow.
"And just how much have you heard?" InuYasha said skeptically.
"All of it."
"How much is that?"
"From start to finish."
"What's the start and what's the finish?"
"You two met, fell in love. You wanted to become a full human with the Shikon no Tama (I have no idea why), she was seriously injured and pinned you to a tree, yelling, 'DIE INUYASHA!!' She came back from the dead, tried to kill you and suck Kagome's soul. After that she had Kagome watch what went on between you two, know that you cared for each other.
"I heard what she said to Kagome: 'If he must love, let him love my deep resentment. In return I will love his heart while it falls into deep despair.'
"Then she took advantage of your somewhat human emotions and knocked you out WHILE you were kissing her. She almost killed you and sucked you into hell. She keeps coming up with different ideas to take your soul and kill Kagome, even though she KNOWS the truth. Sounds pretty bitchy to me," Sesshomaru finished, his both his eyebrows raised. Kagome was giggling uncontrollably. He had made the tragic tale sound extremely humorous, using crazy voices and facial expressions.
At that moment, Rin came running over, and he was grateful she didn't hear the language. She shouldn't pick it up, in wasn't very lady-like.
Sango and Marine weren't far behind her, and as they sat down, Sesshomaru stood. "I would like a bath. I will think about it. In the meantime, why don't YOU think about what'll happen to the Shikon no Tama once your done, Lady Kagome. Come, InuYasha. You smell foul."
"I don't like water."
"Too bad, I refuse to travel with somebody who hasn't bathed in years."
"Nope."
"Yes. Besides I need to talk to you."
"NO!!"
"InuYasha," Kagome said sternly, "Go take to bath."
"No."
"SIT! SIT SIT SIT!" He slammed into the ground. "Now go take a bath."
"Grrrr."
@%@%@%@%@%@%@
"InuYasha," Sesshomaru said, dipping his hair back into the water. "I know you want to become full youkai, but you should REALLY think of the consequences."
"Feh. You just don't want competition."
"Listen to me. You will change in more ways than one if you do. You'll loose any emotions you may have now."
"Oh yeah, like what?"
"Like feelings for Kagome."
"Kagome is nothing more than a shard detector to me."
"You'll kill her."
"How will my using to the jewel kill her?"
"You will become much like me. If I were a hanyou, I wouldn't get the urge to kill every human I lay eyes on. You already have an extremely violent nature and becoming full youkai will only make you more so. You'll kill all your friends the moment you see them. Believe me, I know."
InuYasha crossed his arms and sank lower into the hot water. He didn't want to admit it, but his brother was right.
"I know, because of what happened that one time. You went on a giant killing spree. You nearly killed all of them, you were lucky you didn't. Besides, that was creepy," Sesshomaru gave a small shiver.
"I don't even remember what happened."
"I don't know how it began, but your eyes got all red and you went crazy. It took forever to get the blood off your hands. Myoga will know what caused it."
InuYasha sat silently for a moment in thought. "Will I be powerful if I become full youkai?"
"More than any other. More than is right for anybody to have. You'll most likely destroy the whole world. Either that or you'll have a bunch of slaves. Nobody should be that powerful."
"Are you saying," InuYasha said incredulously, "That I'm powerful already."
"Yes. As powerful as many youkai. I think one of the only differences between you and most youkai is that you have real emotions. You can cry."
"You mean, you can't cry?" InuYasha said, amazed.
"Nope." Sesshomaru said, going back to cleaning his hair. He saw InuYasha fidgeting out of the corner of his eye. He didn't really believe the hanyou hated water that much. He just didn't like cold water.
InuYasha sat in thought. Sesshomaru couldn't possibly think that HE was powerful. "You don't think I'm powerful. You're making it up," InuYasha said.
Sesshomaru was already out of the water and pulling on his pants when InuYasha said this. "InuYasha," he said, turning around. "Do you know how many battles I have lost in my life-span."
"Very, very few?" InuYasha offered.
"Very, very, very few. If I can loose against you, I'd say your strong enough." Sesshomaru had is undershirt on, and he put his fur over his shoulder. He hoisted his armor and the rest of his kimono over his shoulder and walked back to join the others.
InuYasha sat there for a moment, somewhat stunned. Sesshomaru actually DID think he was strong. He gave a sort of evil grin and climbed out of the water to get dressed.
