AN: Yes, I'm reposting this because I suddenly realized that writing random one-shots late at night produces horrible writing.

The Other Eye
Kagome watched in mounting horror as Sesshou-maru dropped Inuyasha on the ground, one eye steaming blood. "Stop it!" She cried, moving to Inuyasha's aid.
Sesshou-maru's expression didn't change as he regarded the black pearl, sullied with blood, in his hand. "Ah…" He murmured. "Its no wonder I couldn't find it no matter how thoroughly scoured the earth…"
Inuyasha put one hand up to his bleeding eye as he sat up. "A place one can see, yet cannot be seen… A place its own guardian can never look upon." He smiled coldly and looked down at his half-brother. "So clear now…" He gloated, eyes flickering in the two companions direction. "…that the 'grave' is the black pearl that he conjured into your left eye." He smiled thinly.
"That's the grave?" Kagome wondered silently. "Wait…" After a moments pause, she pondered aloud. "Wait, if his dad's grave is in his left eye, then what's in his right?"
Sesshou-maru blinked. "What, indeed?" He asked, halting in mid-speech. He and Kagome stared at Inuyasha in perplexity.
Silence.
The grass waved gently in the quiet breeze, stirring the sparse vegetation that grew in the Moorish landscape. The brackish water bubbled gently. A rook cawed quietly in the background as Jaken rummaged through the grass in search of the Staff of Heads, muttering to himself as he went. Kagome and the Lord of the Western Lands continued to stare at the red-clad figure on the ground.
Inuyasha backed away as Sesshou-maru stared at him, the grave temporarily forgotten as curiosity took over. "Kagome, that didn't help!" he told the girl angrily. Sesshou-maru took a step closer.
Inuyasha gulped.
