"Great, now they decide to put us in the same room together," Sesshoumaru scoffed. "Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse, you have to show up and prove me wrong. Thanks a million for all your help, little brother. I really appreciate it when you mess everything up for the hundredth time."

"Well I love you too, big brother," Inuyasha said sarcastically as he crossed his arms. "I could have just beaten you into a bloody mess and left you there, but I didn't, now did I? You should at least be thankful for that much."

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and sighed. "Okay, fine, thanks. Are you happy now?"

"I feel better," Inuyasha replied, uncrossing his arms as he looked out the window. "It's kind of strange, isn't it?" he mused out loud.

"What's strange?" Sesshoumaru asked, looking over at Inuyasha.

"The way you always seem to feel better when you look up at the moon," Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, I guess so," Sesshoumaru agreed with a sigh. "Temporary truce?" he asked.

"Deal," Inuyasha agreed. "How much of a truce?"

"That depends on you," Sesshoumaru responded. "I'll be fine with whatever kind of companionship you consider suitable."

"We'll help each other out as much as we can until we get out of here for good, and after that, it'll be over," Inuyasha suggested. "That alright with you?"

"So we're friends now?" Sesshoumaru sighed. "Alright."

"Funny how it's easy to settle arguments when you're both in a bad situation," Hitokiri finally spoke up. The two looked at him for a few seconds, and he shook his head. "Eh, whatever."

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru returned their attention to the night sky, focusing on the silver crescent of light that stayed suspended in the thick carpet of black sky.
