InuYasha flicked his wrist and drove his knife towards his brother's gut. Sesshomaru caught it in his other hand. He looked at the struggling half demon and asked coldly, "What brings you to believe what you're looking for is here?" InuYasha redoubled his efforts to knife his brother. "We heard ya were dancing at that new gay joint and thought you knew."
Sesshomaru slammed his brother into the rock. InuYasha used the energy from bouncing off the rock to bring his legs up and plant his boots in Sesshomaru's stomach. The demon slid back, then slammed InuYasha into the rock harder, this time holding the Sykes-Fairbairn to his throat.
"I'll ask again. What do you know that led you here?" "I know there was some guy dressed like an Indian asking around for ya." InuYasha grinned, blood running out the corner of his mouth.
Sesshomaru punched his brother in the head. InuYasha's skull cracked against the rock, leaving a small blood stain, and he went down hard. Sesshomaru's attention turned to the girl, who was staring at the scene in fear. 'Maybe my brother would like to wake up next to the body of his woman.' Sesshomaru thought, advancing on Kagome. 'No. I'll let him watch. And hear.' Sesshomaru brought the girl down with the slightest of effort.
InuYasha woke up in an awful state and found hi self at Peter's gate. "Huh, guess the bastard finally did me in. About damn time too.." InuYasha muttered as he pushed himself to his feet.
St. Peter looked up from the book of life, or whatever he was reading and just stared at InuYasha. "Oh come on! I had good damn reason to do those things!" St. Peter leaned forward on his desk.
"I've been much amused watchin' the life ya have abused." St. Peter said, making a dismissive gesture. "Best be on your way, but have a drink before ya go."

InuYasha blinked his eyes open. There was a blurry face above him, and some one was shaking him, which was only agitating the whale in his head.'Goals in life; Find scared jewel, become demon. Find Kikyo. Find cure for hang over.'
"Well I'll be damned. I'm back..." InuYasha muttered as the face cleared up into Kagome. He sat up and clutched his head. "Mother fucker.. " He gazed around the area through a gap between his fingers.
"Where'd my faggot brother get to?" "I don't know, I woke up and here we were." InuYasha stood up and looked around. "He's still around. Dumb bastard's hoping we'll find it so he don't have to." "Well, what are we gonna do about him?" "Fuck 'im. He can keep the damned thing." "You mean ya don't care?" "Not really. I was hopin' for a thrill when I agreed. Now it's some damn puzzle. Fuck that. But, let's inconvenience the bastard and let him follow us around for a while."
The walk back to the bike was uneventful, and they set out on the road.
That night found the two in a road house. As Kagome slept InuYasha once again reached for his flask.
'Just my fucking luck.' He thought, taking a swig of Old Bushmill's. 'I got to deal with fuckin' Kikyo, with the fuckin' jewel, the fucking girl.. now on top of ALLL that shit, I got my fucking faggot ass chocolate ramming brother involved. And the girl wonders why I'm so fucking rritable.' InuYasha took a long drag from his tar. 'Fuck.'
'Well, I survived another day. That calls for a drink. Now if only I had a good reason to wake up tomorrow. I got too much shit to deal with for ANYTHING in the forseeable future not to suck. Hell, the only one not out to kill me is the girl.'
'Who cares. Right now I got all I need. A good whiskey, a smoke, and I'm too damn wasted to give a fuck about anything.' InuYasha let out a slowlaugh.
'Fuck it. I should just drop the girl off somewhere and head off alone. Fuck the jewel. Just keep rolling, keep ridin' til I find what's right. Yeah.'
Kagome had woken up when he laughed, and now sat up and looked over at InuYasha. 'Drunk again. I know he hasn't had the easiest life, but does he really have to drink so much?' She thought with a sigh.
"InuYasha.." Kagome began. InuYasha rolled his head toward her. "Yo." Kagome looked at his face. He was really wasted. she scowled. "How long have you been drinking?" "Since I was 12.." Kagome shook her head.
"You drink too much." "Nah I don't. Some people drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout. It's all the same. 'Sides," InuYasha took another drink. "If anyone in this world deserves to be an alcoholic, it's me." "I suppose you're not gonna tell me why.." "Why bother? No one fucking cares. That's the thing, people who fucking care. Why couldn't she fucking let me die in peace? Nah, she had to set me up first, think someone fuckin' cares, then fuckin' kill me.."
InuYasha stared into his flask before he seemed to realize he had spoken out loud and that Kagome was there. He sat up in shock, hastily staggered to his feet and out the door.
Kagome heard him retch and then a dull thud as he hit the ground. 'Damn it..' She thought, feeling as if she had lost a battle. She went out the door and found his flask still in his hand. She picked the damned thing up and tossed it into the night.

Someone kicked InuYasha in the ribs. He opened his eyes and found himself staring at a pair of shoes. "Ah fuck." He grumbled. He turned his head to look up at his brother. Sesshomaru reached down and hualed him to his feet.
InuYasha once again tried to knife his brother and was thwarted again. "You know, brother," Sesshomaru began, lifting his brother off the ground by the collar "It took me a long time to decipher that old fool's drunken rambling, but I do believe I figured it out." "Fascinating. You didn't travel all this way to tell me that piece of news, so I assume they legalized gay marriage too. Lucky day for you." Sesshomaru let his brother finish before nearly dislocating his jaw.
"As I was saying, I finally figured out where it was. Unfortunately for you, getting there is a bit complicated. And less than painless."
Kagome was watching through a crack in the door. Sesshomaru raised his hand up to InuYasha's right eye. A spark of lightning shot from his finger into InuYasha's eye. He grimaced in pain as electricity flowed into his eye.
Kagome watched as InuYasha began to clench his fists. Something began to be pulled out from the half demon's eye. Something round and black. 'That's not his.. No, I can't be!'
Half of InuYasha's vision disappeared. He was dropped and toppled to the ground. He threw his hand over his eye, which was still burning in agony, and pushed himself to his feet in time to see his brother disappear into some swirling vortex. 'Bullshit. Fucking bullshit.'
Kagome ran to InuYasha and helped him up. He let his hand fall and Kagome stared at his right eye. It was pure gold. Impossible as it was, he had no pupil.
"Stay here." InuYasha said, trying to find the girl with his remaining eye. "C'mon! Let's go!" She called, and InuYasha's eye widened in surprise as he saw the girl walking toward the vortex.

A/N: To answer the questions of Satcha.
1) Because I like guns & knives.
2) I acctaully never thought about this.. Just the way I want her to talk I guess...
3) Yeah they did, but I thought adding a extra "They seached through the rubble and found the jewel" paragraph woulda broken the flow of the chapter, so I left it assumed.
