I am pondering on whether "Reviewie" is a word or not. Hmmm….

Inuyasha woke up in the morning and saw that everyone else was already awake. He remembered the conversation him and Shippo had last night. He saw Shippo and called his name.

"What is it, Inuyasha? Do you need something?" Shippo asked.

Inuyasha pointed at Shippo. "You made me lose my star last night."

Shippo looked at Inuyasha with a puzzled expression.

"What are you talking about?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha ran towards Shippo and started chasing him. Shippo was little, but he could run like the wind.

"Inuyasha, leave him alone!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha didn't hear her.

"SIT!"

Shippo stopped running and pointed at the poor dog demon on the ground. He laughed so hard he started crying.

Inuyasha got up. He wanted to chase Shippo again, but he knew Kagome would just "sit" him again.

"Let's go. We haven't had any lead as to where Naraku may be and we aren't going to get any sitting around here." Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, are you sure your ok to do this?" Kagome asked.

"What do you mean? Why wouldn't I be?"

Inuyasha looked around at each of his friends. They all had their heads down not wanting to look at him. It took him a second to figure out why they were avoiding his glance. When he figured it out he wasn't too happy.

"Is this about Sesshomaru? I'm fine! I'm not the one who's all upset! He is! I don't care that he loves me! I just want to continue on with my life! Why should I worry about what my stupid brother is feeling? Let's go look for Naraku now because I don't want to sit here and think about things that aren't important!"

Inuyasha stormed away. The others stood up to follow him. Miroku looked at the others.

"Inuyasha's on the defensive. Now we know he's upset." He said.

"I don't know who to feel worse for: Inuyasha or Sesshomaru?" Sango said.

"I feel sorry for both of them. Inuyasha has to deal with the fact that his own brother is in love with him. Then Sesshomaru has to try keep going on with his life knowing that Inuyasha doesn't love him back. It's a lose-lose situation. Everyone ends up sad." Kagome said.

They started walking trying to catch up with Inuyasha. When they found him he was standing in the middle of the road waiting for them. He had his head down. He seemed really upset.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said.

"I guess…I feel really bad for Sesshomaru. I mean, we both know that I will never love him. I just can't. I can't even comprehend how it's possible to fall in love with my brother. And I don't understand how he fell in love with me. But I can never love him. All of the white roses in the world won't change that." Inuyasha said. He started to walk off again.

"That was…. very unlike Inuyasha. He's never talked like that before." Sango said.

"I know. He needs a break. Maybe we should look for a hot spring. He could relax there and release some of his burden." Miroku said.

"That's a great idea! Let's go!" Kagome said.

Sango and Miroku grabbed Inuyasha from behind.

"What's this? What are you doing?" Inuyasha yelled. Miroku and Sango were pushing him. He started struggling, but they wouldn't let him go.

"We're going to a hot spring. It's gonna be fun!" Kagome ran up next to them and yelled in Inuyasha's face.

"What? No! We can't! We have to look for Naraku." Inuyasha argued.

"Too late! We're really close to a mountain and mountains always have hot springs! We're going whether you like it or not!" Kagome told him.

At around the time that Inuyasha was chasing Shippo, Sesshomaru had found himself a hot spring on a mountain. He sent Jaken and Rin away with Ah Un so he could undress. He folded up his clothes and put them on a rock. He stepped into the water and sat down. He sighed. He was already feeling the tension drift away. He leaned his head back against the edge of the spring and closed his eyes.

When he came back to his senses again he had completely lost track of the time. He wasn't sure whether he had stayed in the spring for a few hours or a few minutes. He really didn't want to get out so he decided that he had only been in there a few minutes. He was about to actually scrub himself when he heard voices approaching the spring. He turned and sniffed the air. He recognized the scent immediately. It was Inuyasha! Sesshomaru started panicking. He saw his clothes and was about to reach for them, but then the voices got even louder. He knew that if he grabbed his clothes and got out he wouldn't be able to get away in time without Inuyasha seeing some things he didn't really need to. He leaned his head back against the edge of the spring and closed his eyes. He could always pretend he was asleep and not to have noticed his brother.

Miroku and Sango were still pushing Inuyasha up the mountain. He had stopped struggling, but he wasn't about to just walk up to the spring. They were going to have to force him up. Inuyasha lifted up his head and sniffed the air. The steam and heat from the spring hid a lot of the smells, but Inuyasha caught one in particular. The spring made it hard to recognize, but he knew the smell from somewhere.

'If only I had a nose like Sesshomaru. Then maybe I could remember where I this smell came from.' He thought.

They had finally made it to the hot spring. Inuyasha looked in the water and saw a sleeping Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha screeched. He didn't mean to raise his voice that high, but the shock from seeing his brother right there was too much for him.

Sesshomaru jolted up and saw Inuyasha and his friends. Was that Inuyasha who called his name like that? Him and Inuyasha stared at each other for a few moments before Inuyasha said: "Hi, Sesshomaru."

Oh boy, this is fun. Ha! Sesshomaru is in the hot spring. What's gonna happen next? Hmm….
