(Authors Note)

Ice Lioness: Okay, this is just a short little play style thing I did for school.

InuYasha: Where are the rest of us! It's just Sesshoumaru and Kagome!

Ice Lioness: Well yes, I could only use two characters, so I chose them.

Sesshoumaru: Lets begin shall we?

Understanding

"There's got to be a way

To connect this world today

Come together to relieve the pain

There's got to be a way

To unite this human race

And together we'll bring on a change" – There's Got To Be A Way by Mariah Carey

(You see here a dog demon sitting at the base of a tree, garbed in armor and a white haori and white hakama. Sitting a few feet from him is a teenage girl, dressed in a green and white school uniform, warming herself beside the fire. With a soft voice she speaks.)

Kagome: Lord Sesshoumaru?

(The dog demon, SESSHOUMARU, makes no response.)

Kagome: Why wont you answer me!

Sesshoumaru: (Speaking in a monotone voice.) This Sesshoumaru does not have to answer to a lowly human such as yourself.

(KAGOME rises suddenly in anger.)

Kagome: I have shown nothing but deference towards you! Why can't you even show me a sliver of respect!

(Suddenly you see KAGOME pinned to a tree, one of SESSHOUMARU's clawed hands wrapped around her throat, a snarl upon his face.)

Sesshoumaru: (Raw anger evident in his voice as he speaks through clenched teeth.) You will not raise your voice to this Sesshoumaru. Understand wench?

Kagome: (Anger shines within her eyes as she replies in a mocking tone, forcing each word from her mouth as if they were a horrid venom.) Of course, almighty Lord Sesshoumaru!

Sesshoumaru: (Growls.) Do not scoff at me you insignificant human!

Kagome: Well, if a certain indignant dog demon would stop treating me so menacingly then maybe I wouldn't have to!

Sesshoumaru: (Smirks evily.) Your pallor betrays your fearless act. (He releases KAGOME, letting her fall into a heap on the forest floor.)

(Several hours later KAGOME finally stands on shaky legs, creating a wide arch when she walks past SESSHOUMARU)

Sesshoumaru: (Smirks.) My, aren't we evasive? You seem suspiciously fearful of my presence.

(KAGOME's anger once again takes hold of her as she glances over her shoulder, ignoring the smirk on the dog demons face.)

Kagome: No, only avid to remove myself from it. (Exits, disappearing within the forest.)

(KAGOME enters a few hours later, walking in from the path she previously left through. Hesitantly she approaches the sleeping SESSHOUMARU who has once again taken refuge at the base of a tree.)

Sesshoumaru: (His voice sudden and monotone, eyes still closed.) Why do you approach so ineptly? Any way for me to ameliorate this relationship? (Opens his eyes.)

(KAGOME jumps in surprise when she hears his voice, then shakes her head with a soft smile, rolling out her sleeping bag beside him. KAGOME closes her eyes then lays down within the warm depths of her sleeping bag, closing her eyes and falling asleep with a soft smile. Once he is sure sleep has claimed her, SESSHOUMARU closes his eyes once again and allows himself to fall within the land of dreams.)

THE CURTAIN FALLS

(Authors Note 2)

Ice Lioness: See? All done. Told you, real short.

Kagome: I liked it.

InuYasha: It was crap!

Kagome: Sit!

:A heavy thud and strong curse are heard in the background.:

Sesshoumaru: Please review.
