A/N: Howdie...lol...Here is a piece done Tarentino(spelling?) style. The first part I kinda added in the end as a sorta humerous skit that leads into the main writing. They are both relatively short, but together give you all something hopefully long enough to not suck ... crosses fingers hopefully...These are just a couple examples of the weird conversations I imagine the characters of the Inuyasha cast would have years down the line, or in situations not normally found in the series... also I have a sick mind and imagine all sorts of things that would never happen, just cuz I think it might be amusing to see how it may play out if it did.

Disclaimer: Ugh...I am not lucky enough to own characters as cool as Rumiko Takahashi's...grumble...

Discussions...How Could You Be So Careless?

"You know, you said that this wouldn't happen..." an old demon said to another as he joined him for tea.

"I know." The younger demon said flatly.

"In fact we only had that discussion about 7 months ago." He reminded the other demon.

"I know."

"But it's too late now. There's nothing you can do about the innevitable I presume."

"I know." He replied, defeated.

"So..."

"So...?"

"Now what do you plan to do?" The older demon wondered.

"What would you suppose me do?"

"I don't know. But you got yourself into this mess. Which I have to say, I still don't understand how."

"What do you expect of me? I am old...I am not as...attentive as I was in my youth."

"I...am older than you."

"So."

"So? I am still alert, you have no excuse."

"I don't need an excuse. And you are not alert. You sleep half your life away."

"Hmph...I still think your reason is poor. You may be old, but I am ancient. I still wouldn't have gotten into this mess."

Clearing his throat, the younger demon replied sardonically, "You are an inch tall, at best. And you are a coward. So, of course you would never find yourself in any sort of mess."

"Oh! Milord!" The ancient demon cried acting hurt.

"I think maybe you are also going senile." He added with an amused smirk.

The older demon fell over clutching his chest in mock heartbreak. The younger one chuckled lightly, amused.

"You know, you are a bad actor." The younger demon stated.

"Well, " the older demon cried while jumping back to his feet, "I haven't seen you win an oscar!"

The piercing eyes of the younger demon only stared sharply at the smaller one. The older demon wondered what he was thinking about.

Finally the younger one smiled suspiciously. The older one felt his stomach twist. What sort of evil plan had been conjured up in his Lord's mind? He was to terrified to ask. Finally the younger demon spoke, smirk still pasted on his face, "You know, your right...Being old is one thing, being ancient is another entirely."

The ancient demon collapsed both in relief and from the deflation of his small ego.

Doing his best to regain what scraps of self-esteem he had left, he retored, bringing back the original subject, "You know, I can remember that conversation we had as if it was only yesterday." His Lord was not amused.

Discussions...Why Me?

Approx. 7 months ago...

Two, wise demons stood upon a marble balcony, overlooking nearly 100 acres of pristine land. The tallest stood close to the edge, while the second sat on the rail.

The second demon doubled the age of the first, if not tripled, which was saying quite a lot. Ironically, though, his size and social status was quite below that of the younger demon beside him. Still his years added much wisdom, and his long loyalty to the Taisho family, kept him in high esteem with his younger master.

The taller demon seemed very deep in thought, his brow furrowed, as he intently stared out at his vast land.

"What is troubling you, Milord?" The older demon questioned, as he hopped atop his Lord's shoulder. Being a flea helped him to appear nonexistent until otherwise necessary.

Softening his expression the other demon took a deep breath as if he was about to tell a great secret or release a full days tension. Instead he flatly stated, "That, damn, half-breed." Almost as if to himself.

After a short pause the flea queried, "Your brother, Milord?"

"Half-brother." He corrected.

"Of course, my appologies." Taking another pause he then continued. "What about Inuyasha, has you so troubled at this point?"

Running his fingers through his long silver hair, he continued his intense gaze at the land. It seemed as if he wasn't prepared to answer, but did anyhow. "That weak bastard. Because of his foolishness I actually have to carry out this regretful promise."

Trying to sooth the problem the flea offered, "Well, Milord, as fruitless as it may seem, maybe you can look at it in some positive light?"

Staying silent only long enough to register his adviser's suggestion he responded with, "There is nothing positive about this, Myouga."

"Well, Milord. Look at it this way. She won't live very long, compared to your existence, she's but a blip. Remember, she is a human afterall."

The unusually expressive dog demon outwardly sighed, half in exasperation, half in agreed acknowledgment to the fleas's deduction. "It does not change the fact that one as great as I have been reduced to a mere babysitter to my half-brother's...wench."

"Now, Lord Sesshoumaru! Kagome is quite an amazing girl. You need to give her some time!"

"That isn't necessary," he interjected, "I plan to make myself as scarce as possible. I wouldn't dare risk the chance of being seen by her or that unforgivable half-breed."

Myouga nodded in an unnoticed ascention. He had almost forgotten that Inuyasha passed through the well into Kagome's time.

Now, also, their time.

Sesshoumaru continued venting through clenched teeth. "It seems quite predictable that my half-brother would die so carelessly instead of making sure to carry out his responsibilities first."

"Of course, Lord Inuyasha wouldn't have intentionally done such a thing, Milord. He would rather have done this himself."

"It's undeniable that he had strong feelings for that...human." The demon Lord said, emphasizing the last word in disgust. "That obviously clouded his already poor judgment."

Myouga dared not mention the high number of human females his Lord had bed since the bitter-sweet passing of his ward, and the eventual end to his retainer.

Sesshoumaru knew that Myouga would leave well enough alone, so he pressed on. "I'll just have to hope that the next 70 years go by as quickly as the past 500 have."

Myouga sighed, and doing his best to bring his Lord back to a better mood he said, "Oh, you need not worry about that, Lord Sesshoumaru, it most definately will."
