Chapter Two "Miroku! Watch your hands!"
"I'm watching them dear Sango, but what am I watching them for?"
"You know very well what I mean! Now stop playing dumb and kindly take your hand off my ass!"
Inuyasha stood in a corner, chuckling on the inside as he witnessed the fight between the monk and the demon killer. They were always entertaining, with Miroku and his lecherous ways and Sango's consequences. Inuyasha noticed Miroku's hand was creeping ever closer towards its previous resting spot. He decided to give the monk a break by discouraging him before Sango hit him over the head with her boomerang.
"Hey Sango! Why not keep it down while some of us try to get a little break, eh?" Inuyasha yelled.
Sango turned around and glared at Inuyasha as Miroku quickly moved his hand. He too glared at Inuyasha, though not for the same reason as Sango. Inuyasha didn't mind as he smiled on the inside. He had just saved Miroku from a lot of pain and yet Miroku was mad at him. Just as well Inuyasha thought, I don't want him thinking that I like him or anything. He already thinks that I'm his friend; I don't have to prove it to him.
"Just because you're upset that Kagome's gone, doesn't mean you have to be all sour towards us," Sango replied.
"What?!? I'm not upset about Kagome! She can go back to her dimension any time she wants! I don't care," Inuyasha yelled, although nobody seemed to listen. They all knew how he felt about Kagome and his actions definitely spoke louder then any of his words. He was already blushing like crazy.
Suddenly, there was a loud scream from outside of Kaede's hut. Inuyasha rushed outside, Sango, Miroku and Shippo on his heels. Inuyasha looked around and couldn't see anything wrong, until he spotted a terrified villager silently pointing to the sky. Inuyasha looked to the sky and noticed why everyone was so terrified; his brother had come to visit.

"What the hell are you doing here?!?" Inuyasha screamed into the air towards Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru glowered down at his measly half-brother. "I have some.disappointing news for you, my beloved brother," he yelled calmly down.
"Oh yeah? Well spill it, because pretty soon you're gonna' be dead!" Inuyasha spit back.
"I highly doubt that," Sesshomaru said, "However, I will tell you my news. That wench you have been dragging around with you, you know, the one you're in love with? It brings me great pleasure to declare that she is dead."
"I am NOT IN LOVE WITH HER!" Inuyasha yelled. Then suddenly, it dawned him. "Wait, no, she's dead? How? You! You bastard! You killed her you son of a bitch! And I will return the favor!"
Ignorant fool. Sesshomaru moved away from his previous spot, and the Tetsusaiga zoomed past him. However, he was surprised to see that it was only a fraction of an inch away from his remaining right arm.
"How, how, HOW could you have killed Kagome?!? I-I-I never even got to say goodbye! It's all your fault! And you will pay for it!" Inuyasha screamed.
Back down on the ground, Sango was chocking back tears. She had considered Kagome to be one of her best friends. Now she was to be the only girl in a group that consisted of a half-demon and a lecherous monk with a hell-hole in his hand. How could Kagome be dead? She suddenly felt a need for vengeance build up inside of her.
"Come on Miroku! We must help Inuyasha defeat Sesshomaru!"
"Hold on Sango. I believe there is more to this story then Sesshomaru is telling us. I don't quite believe it." Miroku replied.
Upon hearing this, Sesshomaru looked down towards the monk, while dodging another fatal attempt from his half brother. That monk.the one cursed by Naruku. He is very clever. I assume he will be the one to stop Inuyasha from his mislead attacks.
"Inuyasha! Stop!" Miroku commanded.
"What? What the hell are you thinking?!?" Inuyasha demanded while taking another swing at Sesshomaru.
"I believe there is more to the story then Sesshomaru is telling us. Get down here, now!" Miroku yelled back.
Inuyasha jumped back to the ground, scowling at Miroku. "What? What more could there be to the "story" as you put it."
Instead of answering Inuyasha, Miroku looked up at Sesshomaru. "Do you have a body? What happened to Kagome?"
"Her body has disappeared," Sesshomaru stated as he heard Inuyasha grumble "Oh, how convenient" under his breath. "However," Sesshomaru continued, "She took a mighty fall from which she could not have survived."
"Wait, do you possibly mean down the well?" Shippo yelled out.
"Yes, how did you know?" Sesshomaru asked.
To Sesshomaru's amazement, all four of the individuals on the ground burst out laughing. How could they laugh after they learn that one of their comrades is dead? Sesshomaru wondered. "Fools! Don't you know that this surely means that wench's death?!?"
Between laughs, Sango managed to put in, "She's not dead! She merely went hoooome!" she said, bursting into another fit of giggles.
Sesshomaru did not enjoy being made a fool of, so he zoomed down towards the ground and stuck his hand around Sango's neck. "What do you mean, "home"?" he asked menacingly.
"Put her DOWN!" Miroku and Inuyasha yelled, as Inuyasha brought the Tetsusaiga towards Sesshomaru's arm.
Sesshomaru took his arm away, just in time. "I will be leaving now," he said as he slowly glided away. "This visit has been most disappointing, as I had supposed the girl was dead. Now that I know she is not, it ruins my fun, so I shall be going." Sesshomaru turned around and slowly glided away.
"What was that all about?" Inuyasha said, "Why does Sesshomaru care whether Kagome's dead or alive?"
"Well it's probably because he knows that you love her, so he thought it would dishearten you to learn that she was dead, so he wanted to be the one to tell you," Miroku offered.
"I DO NOT LOVE HER!" shrieked Inuyasha, as the rest of them started to laugh.
