((glares at Kitsune))

Kitsune: ((gulp))

ONWARD TO THE STORY! (BTW I AM SOOOOOO SORRY THIS CHAPTER TOOK SO LONG! I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

So with Jaken and Myoga's cries of "NOOO! Please, M'Lord!" in the background, Shippo decided to make his opinion known.

"I don't trust you," the tiny fox said plainly.

"And I care because...?" Kitsune asked, giving the red fox kit a dry look.

"Kitsune!" Ayame snapped, elbowing him.

"Fine!" He growled back. He turned to Shippo, "Why is that?"

"Because, one, you're a Shadowfox, a species known for their cunning and cruelty. And two, your partner is nice and you two argue, making you mean!" Shippo concluded triumphantly, holding his finger in the air, as if he'd just solved something important, like a formula that would remove Myoga from Inu-Yasha's finger.

"PLEASE, LORD INU-YASHA! I BEG OF YOU! GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE!" the tiny flea said, giving "Lord" Inu-Yasha the greatest example of puppy dog eyes they had ever seen. Which was weird, considering he was a flea.

"I think you've been around the dog family too long, Myoga. You're starting to act like them..." Kagome noted, the volume of her voice dropping as she noticed both Inu-Yasha, Kitsune, and Sesshomaru's deathglares.

"Ahem!" They all turned to look at Ayame.
"Well, Kiru, if you would be so kind as to remove Myoga from Inu-Yasha's hand..." She trailed off, looking at the snake. She hissed in response, nodding her head wisely.

Myoga gulped.

"DON'T YOU LET THAT EVIL CREATURE NEAR ME!" the old flea squeaked, trembling in fear.

"Then get OFF my FINGER!" Inu-Yasha snapped back.

"Or would you like to find yourself quite forcefully removed?" Kiru said in an evilly venomous tone.

"Kiru! I said you weren't allowed to kill anyone unless I was in on it!" Everyone turned to look at Kitsune dryly, he looked a bit disoriented, just like a little puppy trying to cover up a mistake, "W-w-which I'm not..."

"Now you know how I feel, I have that deathglare to deal with every day..."

Inu-Yasha whispered to the fox, while steadily staring at Kagome.

"Inu-Yasha..." Kagome's tone was definately a familiar one for Inu-Yasha. Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Myoga all looked like they knew what was happening. Kitsune and Ayame listened intently...considering they had NO clue what was going on.

"U-uh... I didn't mean it! Really!" Inu-Yasha desperately tried to save himself.

"Hmm...now this just got more interesting..." Kitsune muttered to Ayame, receiving a sharp elbow in the ribs for his twisted humor.

"SIT, BOY! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT S-I-T!" Kagome shouted at the hanyou (or the dog one, at least). Of course, the dog hanyou was no longer there. In his place was merely an Inu-Yasha-shaped crater.

"Well, that was definately a bit strange..." Ayame said, eyeing the hole, she looked back at Kagome and scooted away a few inches, "Can you do that to all half-demons, or just him...?"

"Why, Ayame, are you scared?" Kitsune taunted his partner. Kitsune's only response was once again an elbow in the ribs.

"OW! Will you stop that, wench!" Kitsune snapped at her.

"You took the words right outta my mouth..." A dirt-covered Inu-Yasha crawled out of the hole in the ground.

"YOU HAVE GRASS STAINS ON YOUR FACE!" Shippo burst out laughing. As we can all imagine, he was pummeled immediately quite thoroughly by everyone's favorite grass-stained inu-hanyou.

"No, unfortunately it only works on Inu-Yasha..." Sango said, eyeing the two Shadowfoxes wearily. It was obvious Shippo wasn't the only one who didn't trust them.

"Hmmm... it's because of that necklace, isn't it?" Kitsune asked. They all turned to look at him, even Sesshomaru and Jaken. Kiru looked up and stopped slithering toward Myoga and turned back to Kitsune.
"Yes... but what makes you say that...?" Kagome was a bit suspicious now. How did he know? She asked herself, and by looking at the expressions on her friends' faces, she knew they were thinking the same thing.

"Well, the necklace has an aura... a faint one, but an aura all the same. It carries the aura of quite a few priestesses... my guess is that the aura of the one who created it, the aura of the one who put it around your neck, Inu-Yasha, and Kagome's aura, since it seems she's the one who can slam you into the ground at full force..." The Shadowfox trailed off, looking confused that everyone was staring at him, "What?"

"How did you guess that?" Miroku asked, reading everyone else's mind.

"Well, can't you feel its aura?" The Shadowfox replied, shrugging.

"Well... No..." The monk replied uneasily.
"I can't even feel it, and I'm a full demon... and you honestly expect me to believe that you can feel its aura and you're a half-breed!" Sesshomaru made everyone stare at him.

"Well, all I have to say is that you should really learn to listen more, instead of making your opinion known!" Kitsune shot back at his oldest brother.

"Why, you impudent little" Sesshomaru began, but Ayame cut off his insult, which most likely would've ended in an unprintable obscenity.

"Kitsune! That wasn't very respectful of your older brother!" She whacked him upside the head.

"Why the hell should I care, anyway, huh! After all, it's all HIS fault that I was" Ayame covered her partner's mouth before he said something he'd regret.

"Kitsune..." Sesshomaru's tone was definately a warning.

"Oh, right, I forgot...I'm not allowed to reveal any of that now... Damn that town... we're too close to it..." Kitsune once again trailed off.

"Ooookay then... I'm officially weirded out... what about the rest of you?" Kagome turned to Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Myoga, and to her surprise, Jaken.

"It is something that will be known in time," Ayame said simply, "Just like some people you have met along the way..."

"Oh, speaking of which, Kitsune, where's the other delinquent you're usually found with? You know, the one who's more like you, and lacks the common sense," Sesshomaru said, earning himself a venomous glare from both Kitsune and Ayame.

"If you're asking about My father the Shadowfox lord, then he is just fine!" Ayame snapped, her fists clenching. She was now on her feet, with one hand on a katana."No, Ayame, he said someone I'm found with, which completely rules out your father..." Kitsune said, grabbing the hem of her gi.

"This is true... "Ayame said, sitting back down next to her partner. She and Kitsune looked deep in thought for a moment.

"I know!" Kitsune declared triumphantly, "HE MEANS KASU!"

"Ah, yes, Kasu..." Ayame rolled her eyes, "How could I forget Kasu?..."

"Yeah, how did you forget Kasu?.. He's not really someone you can forget..." Kitsune muttered, also finding time to roll his eyes dryly.

"Who's Kasu, dare I ask?" Sango said, still watching their visitors intently.

"Well, umm... see... well..." Kitsune was at a complete loss for words and it was obvious.

"He's kinda hard to exlplain... because nothing will ever prepare you for the way he is..." Ayame also seemed totally helpess to explain.

"Oh for God's sake!" Sesshomaru snapped at the Shadowfoxes, everyone turned to look at him for his completely Out-of-character outburst, "He's a freaking drunk! He's not that hard to describe!"
"That's not completely true... he doesn't have some redeeming qualities..." Kitsune said, but he trailed off, and obviously didn't believe it himself.

"You're just saying that because he's your best friend," Ayame whacked her partner again. Sango, Kagome, Miroku, Shippo,(did I forget anyone! sheesh!) and everyone else (just in case I did lol) were looking completely dazed at everything that was being currently discussed.

"Well, NO ONE ASKED YOU!" Kitsune said, in defense of his supposed 'best friend,' "So just BEAT it, Fluffy!" Sesshomaru's eye twitched in a way that showed he was seriously pissed.

"What. Did. You. Call. Me...?" He asked, in a very evil tone.

"What? Did I make the puppy mad?" Kitsune taunted his brother. Ayame sighed, but everyone else looked a bit confused. Inu-Yasha pondered the reason for why Kitsune seemed so arrogant. Had he never felt Sesshomaru's poisonous talons? Or was he possibly so strong that he didn't care? Inu-Yasha's hope faded... Or maybe, here's a thought, he's just stupid...

"AM NOT!" Kitsune shouted at Inu-Yasha. Since, the dog hanyou didn't say anything out loud, this outburst got even more attention than Sesshomaru's.

"W-what?" Inu-Yasha stammered, his shock evident by his expression.

"You called me stupid! I am NOT!" Kitsune snapped.

"That depends on the situation..." Ayame stated dryly, she seemed to be the only one who didn't find it strange that Kitsune had read his middle brother's mind. This time it was her turn to receive a sharp elbow.

"I AM NOT!" Kitsune snapped again.

"H-Howdid you read my mind!" Inu-Yasha growled at the fox, any trust he had actually been contemplating on giving the fox suddenly vanished.

"Well, I didn't actually read your mind... I just read your expression," Kitsune said, giving him a perfect anime-style peace sign. Everyone sweat dropped. It seemed their visitor was a just a bit more strange than he seemed...

"Kitsune, I told you not to do that, you scare people when you do!" Ayame snapped, she whacked him yet again (wow, 3 in one chapter, GO AYAME!).

"Well, I leave you now, because I refuse to be seen with such idiots as these two and my other brother..." Sesshomaru declared his leaving with a flick of his hand, as if simply saying that it wasn't worth his time.

"YEAH RIGHT!" Kitsune called after him, " YOU'RE JUST LATE FOR A MEETING WITH THAT STUPID BITCH, KAGURA!"

Everyone officially burst out laughing. Inu-Yasha turned blue he was laughing so hard, which was pretty hard considering he had only been laughing for a few seconds. Sesshomaru, of course, was NOT amused. Far from it, in fact. He was currently rushing at Kitsune in a demonic charge, with his Tokijin brandished. No one was really prepared for Kitsune's counterattack and block. The Shadowfox drew a simple human katana and met Tokijin. To everyone's surprise, he forced the Sesshomaru back, simply because of the full demon's surprise. They both landed on the ground

"You were lucky you surprised me, fox... Or let me assure you... you would not have been so lucky...!" snapped an EXTREMELY angry Sesshomaru.

"It wasn't luck, Sesshomaru, it was nothing but skill and you DAMN WELL KNOW IT!" Everyone sweat-dropped as Kitsune shouted at his oldest brother's retreating back.

"Kitsune, honestly, it's not worth it..." Ayame sighed, she shook her head.

"I severely disagree with that one..."Inu-Yasha said, "I agree with Kitsune, though... I gotta give you credit for that.. it was hilarious..." He started laughing again.

"So, exactly what is it that you want?" Sango asked, also trying not to laugh.

"Hmm..." Ayame pondered for a moment, "Kitsune, I have no idea. Why are we here, anyway!"

"And THAT, Ayame-chan, is exactly why you aren't in charge of where we're going all the time!" Kitsune said triumphantly.
