"Boton, whatever you wanna talk about, I don't have time for it right now!"

After getting over the shock of what happened that night, Boton managed to regain her composition and tell Koenma about it, just to be ignored by the pint sized ruler. How could he treat her she was so…insignificant! Even with the inspection coming up (which, no matter how hard he tried, Koenma was never ready for,) this was no time for being ignorant!

"Lord Koenma, we have a serious situation! So if you could spit out that pacifier and get yourself together for ONE MINUTE, I would be obliged to explain to you the matter at hand!"

As those who know him best can say, Inuyasha is not an extremely patient guy.

' DAMN IT TO HELL, WHERE COULD THAT STUPID WENCH BE!'

Especially when it came to Kagome. She had been gone for…lets see…5 hours, 42 minutes, and 24 seconds longer than her initial three day plan, and it was starting to piss him off. Perhaps it had something with that odd discussion they had before she left. 'Still don't know what the hell that was about.' He thought while recalling the event…

Flashback

"Inuyasha?"

"What?"

It was nighttime, and Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara had fallen asleep a few hours ago. Inuyasha was perched casually on a tree branch, his long hair caught in a small breeze, causing it to whip uncomfortably at his face. Kagome sat below him, cross-legged on her sleeping bag, staring into the dying fire. Her mind was lost in something, he could tell by the way her eyes seemed to melt into a trance. Whatever she was gonna say next, he knew it was something she had dwelled on for sometime. She sighed, breaking her own concentration, and opened her mouth to say something. She paused, slightly reluctant, then started.

"Inuyasha, when this is all over, when the jewel is whole and Naraku is gone…"

, She gulped hard, "will…will you return to hell with Kikyo?"

Odd question. He hadn't really thought about it before.

"Feh. I suppose so. I mean, I really kinda owe it to her, right? It's the only thing she's asked of me, and a dead person's wish should be respected."

"Oh."

She went back to staring at the fire, leaving a very confused Inuyasha. But she turned back to him, obviously wanting more answers.

"But, what about what you want to do? You'd be throwing your life away, and maybe not even be happy with it! Would you be happy with it? If you would, then why are you still here! What d…"

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!" He interrupted in an extremely annoyed tone, causing her to back off. After a long awkward silence, the big surprise came.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah."

"If I was to die, would you owe it to me to follow my death, too."

Where was this coming from? 'Better just drop the subject now' his conscience told him. So, rolling on his side and yawning, he closed his eyes and said,

"Don't be stupid. Besides, your not gonna die. Not while I'm here."

And fell fast asleep, leaving Kagome to do the same.

End Flashback

The explosion from Boton got the toddler cowering under his desk in fear of being pummeled, and half the Spirit World stood in a standstill.

As to avoid further upset amongst the curious workers around them, Koenma signaled Boton to follow him into his private office. Once inside, he locked the door, and then proceeded to sink into the sofa set at the right end of the room.

"So, tell me Boton," Koenma began, "just what kinda of situation has presented itself?"

Uh…hi? I realize a lot of you will be wondering why it took me a little more than a year to write this crappy chapter. The truth is, there is no reason! sweat I just got really lazy after the first chapter. However, I can promise you this will never happen again. Really! U guys r worth a lot more than that! So, please review, and try not to hate me!
