A/N: Ok, I know you will all kill me for taking to long to give a real update, but come on, 3 reviews? Because last chapter had almost nothing new, I was expecting tons of flames and crap, even that's better than 3 reviews! Especially because 28 people have me on their author alert list! If you want another chapter after this, then I want at least 5 reviews! That's right, I'm gonna be one of those mean authors today and insist on at least 5 more reviews.
(IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE NEXT FEW SENTANCES!)
Though I suppose I understand the lack of reviews a bit because something weird happened that messed up the order of the chapters. I think it's fixed now, but I'm gonna have to wait 24 hours to be certain. (24 hours later... I'm certain)
On a more pleasant note, I am working on another new fic, my first multi-chapter fic that is not comedy. I have one scene that's the basis for it all, and once I'm done writing it, I'll start to post it, (that way you won't need to wait as long.) I don't think the stuff leading up to that scene is the greatest, but I swear that scene will blow you away! I won't waste any more time, I'll tell you more about it at the end.
Review Responses (to the 3 wonderful readers that did review)
Whee- Man, that sucks. I think siblings that hurt you are usually worse but in this case I'm going to have to agree with you. It's no fun having your sibling in your classes. Being brainy is only good to a certain extent. Perhaps your school is not so intelligent if the people who run it can't tell you're siblings because of your registration info. I wish you luck with your horrible situation. Anyways, thanks for the review I really appreciate it!
Wasoe -I'm afraid a small mistake was made with the document manager and a few of the chapters swapped places, but that should be all fixed now, so I suggest you go back and read the proper chapter 6.
Brisk33 - Wow, the not reviewing even your story thingy is odd, but tell Nike thanks for reading! Because I'm sure they'd review if they didn't have something against it, right? RIGHT? Oh, regarding the 'brothers' thing, were it not for the fact that neither me or my brother can drive yet, and the fact that he will learn to drive this year and I must wait 2 years, I'm sure your method would work for me. However, sadly, all I can do is ignore my brother.

On to the chapter!
Chapter 7: If You... Then I Am
The Inu-gang sat around for about an hour arguing over the fine points of InuYasha's plan.
"Well I say we order Chinese food."
"We're not in your era, Kagome!"
"Oh yeah... oops"
"Well, I'm not eating anymore ramen!"
"What the hell is wrong with it?"
"I agree with her InuYasha. I, for one, am getting sick of it."
"Feh, you'd agree with anything she said."
Yuni: twitch Erm... they were supposed to be arguing about the fine points of InuYasha's plan...What happened?
Computer: You've got mail
Yuni: huh? I don't even use AOL...
(The e-mail)
Yuni,
We've finished discussing the fine points of InuYasha's plan and are now discussing the fine points of food. Sorry for any inconvenience!
-The Inu-Gang
(end of e-mail)
Yuni: Ok, never mind... Um...I have a feeling they'll take a while, so why don't we continue with the story once they're finished with lunch, ok?
(After lunch)
"All right, so, let's get started," said Sango as she walked over to her Hiraikotsu and motioned for everyone else to get up. InuYasha and Miroku followed suit, but Kagome kept sitting.
"So, how do we get there?" She asked. The others face-faulted.
"Actually, I never really thought about that," said InuYasha.
"Shouldn't we have gone over this when discussing the fine points of InuYasha's plan?" Miroku asked.
"Hmmm..." Sango said, feeling she should have some sort of input in this conversation. After a while, a candle went on above Sango's head. (They didn't have light bulbs back then you know.) "I've got it! Let's re-trace the steps in the video! It went to his castle after all, so that should allow us to find it!" The others agreed, so they headed off.
The trip was fairly uneventful for the most part. That is, until they reached the hot springs. You see, it appeared Sesshomaru had decided to set up camp there, because after all, even if he didn't, Rin needed sleep. So this is where our wonderful heroes (Random Person: "What heroes?" is clobbered by random bouncy balls thrown at them ) ran into Sesshomaru.
"Lord Sesshomaru, look," Shouted Rin, "It's a boy with doggy ears!"
"That's not just any boy with doggy ears Rin," Jaken said in response to her little outburst, "That is Lord Sesshomaru's half-brother, InuYasha."
"Wow! Really! I've heard about him but I've never seen him before."
Sesshomaru looked up from his position sitting beneath a tree and turned his head to face the direction they were coming from.
"InuYasha," he said, dislike evident in his voice and on his face. "Why are you here? Even a halfbreed such as yourself would have smelled me from far off, yet you still came through here. Why have you come when you knew I was here?"
At this point in time, InuYasha and the others had reached the area where Sesshomaru was sitting, and InuYasha stood next to him looking down at him. "We know how to get to Naraku's castle, but we have to go through here to get there. Trust me, I have no desire to be anywhere near an asshole like you."
Sesshomaru leapt up from his position, reached out and grabbed InuYasha's neck, pinning him to a tree, all in one fluid motion, poison claws at the ready. "Learn to respect those above you," he threatened, then let InuYasha go. InuYasha dropped to the ground with a small thud. InuYasha smirked, and ignored his half-siblings comment. This aggravated Sesshomaru further, and InuYasha obviously knew it.
"We've got a plan to beat Naraku, and we're not letting you get in the way, so step aside." Sesshomaru took in these words, and it was his turn to smirk, although the smirk was not very noticeable on his lips, because Sesshomaru was the type of person that smirked with his eyes when he smirked. (It's true! Just watched episodes 7 and 8, I believe those are some of the episodes in which he smirks.)
"You, beat Naraku? Yes, a rag-tag group of humans and a lowly hanyou," he said, excluding Shippo, who made a mental note to hurt Sesshomaru for it once he was all grown up. "Of course you'll beat him, and I'm going to be crowned king of England."
Suddenly, a small imp came running up to Sesshomaru from out of nowhere. He was wearing a British outfit. Kneeling down on one knee, he opened a scroll of parchment and read. "Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands, due to a giant plague in England, you are now the closest surviving relative of the King on England, and due the fact the King has died, I'm happy to inform you that you are now the King of England."
He took a red and gold crown out of nowhere and placed it on Sesshomaru's head, then rushed off to finish other unattended business. Sesshomaru took the crown off his head, crushed it, and threw it to the ground. InuYasha smirked.
"Congratulation, your highness." He mocked, bowing down in the British fashion.
"This means nothing," Sesshomaru replied. "The day Naraku dies at the hands of your group is the day pigs fly." Suddenly, a pig came flying through the air and landed on top of Sesshomaru with a loud squeal and a crash. A man came running out of the woods.
"Sorry about that, we were just trying out our pig catapult. It's a success! Now pigs will finally be able to fly!" He scooped up the remains of the pig and ran back in the direction from which he came. InuYasha's smirk grew wider.
"This is ridiculous," Sesshomaru growled. "The day Naraku is killed by you is the day hell freezes over!" Just then, a giant hole was ripped in the earth next to them, and a bunch of evil demons came running out. "Aaaaahhhhh! We'll repent for our sins! It's to freaking cold down there!" One of them screamed as the group ran by. The gods listened to their request and the demons disintegrated into dust.
Everyone peered into the hole the demons had come out of, and indeed, hell was frozen over. It also appeared the devil was enjoying this new change of atmosphere, because he had started to redecorate. InuYasha noticed Shippo was leaning over the edge looking in curiously. So, InuYasha "accidentally" kicked Shippo into the hole, just as it was closing up.
Kagome looked at InuYasha with an evil glint in her eyes. "Oh InuYasha..." she said in a seductively sweet little voice as she walked up to him. Sheer terror was written all over his face. She grabbed the back of his head by the hair and slammed him into the ground. "SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!" For every 'sit' she said, he was slammed into the ground headfirst one more time. Miroku and Sango winced looking at him, but Sesshomaru...
'Must . . . Remain . . . Calm . . . Must . . . Look . . . Cool . . . Must . . . Not . . .'
Sesshomaru broke out into peals of laughter. He laughed so hard he fell on the ground. "You... Ha ha ...You idiot... I can't believe... ha ha ha ... That you actually ... Ha ... ha ha ... Just... Just let her do that!"
The others looked at him confused. InuYasha blushed. "Shut up! What the hell are you talking about!"
And speak of the devil, (literally) at the moment InuYasha said the word hell, a small hole opened up in the ground and Shippo popped out. Kagome ran over to him and gave him a big hug. "Shippo! Thank God! You're back! What happened!"
Shippo sobbed. "He said... that I was... too annoying..." Shippo started to bawl. InuYasha mentally added another thing to his list of things to do.
'1. Kill Naraku
2. Get rid of Shippo
3. Get revenge on the devil...'
Kagome comforted Shippo. "There, there, it's Ok, we don't think you're annoying."
"I do," grumbled InuYasha. Kagome repeated the sit scenario.
Sesshomaru smirked. "Perhaps I should tell them that you le-" InuYasha covered his brother's mouth.
"You wouldn't, cause if you do, I show this to everyone in Japan." He held up the tape.
"And what might that be?" Sesshomaru asked, betraying a hint of curiosity. InuYasha took him aside and showed Sesshomaru the tape. Then, all of a sudden, it clicked.
"I see," he said. "Well, perhaps I was wrong for once. The forces of reason, and possibly gravity, seem to be against me today... I wish you luck." InuYasha nodded his head as he passed his half brother in a moment of brotherly understanding. Then InuYasha and company continued on their trip to Naraku's castle leaving Sesshomaru, Rin, and a toad (Jaken: I'm and imp I tell you! An Imp! Just watch the show! They call me an imp in it! Yuni: Sure you are Jaken, sure...) in their wake. It wouldn't be much farther now...
A/N: So? What do you think? I swear I wrote everything up to the first divider in my story in a random stroke of genius. Next time: What clicked for Sesshomaru? How do they defeat Naraku? Will InuYasha's friends ever find out what Sesshomaru was laughing about! Find out next time on: The Camera Strikes Back!
Ok, now about the story I was telling you about in the beginning. Here's the basic summary for it: Sango gets amnesia in a battle. But without the memories that shape a person's soul, what is left? A riveting tail that will challenge the idea of amnesia as we know it and make us think, "Who are we really?" I already have the first chapter typed up and most of the second, but I'm waiting until it's all typed up to start posting because I really want to make this one special and I don't want to have to worry about writers block and shit. I'm not sure how long I'll make the story, but I'm making it all because of this one fluff scene I imagined for it while I was in the shower (I tend to get some of my best ideas there you know). I can't wait. That's actually part of the reason I was late in posting this chapter, I was typing some of that story.
Ok, well, It's late so I'm gonna send this to my Beta-reader (beta pixie: tralala! ) and hopefully I'll be able to post it tomorrow. Ttyl!
