Tami: I love you guys! I looked in my mailbox this morning and saw five
reviews and one was a return review! I was sooo happy. ^_^ This chapter
will be a little longer than the others. I've been experimenting with
Notepad and I can't really tell how much I have (or in this case haven't)
typed. Using notepad, I was only averaging around 500 words per chapter.
Using Microsoft Word, I average around 1,000. So, yeah, it's a big
difference. I switched back to Word, so my chapters will be longer.
Votes:
Sess/Kag: 4
Those are the only votes I've gotten so far. Don't ya'll care what happens to Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku? Kikyo will be in here somewhere and I'll pair her with someone if you want. *shudder* I don't much like her, but I will if you want me to. And I'll even bring in Kouga if you want. So tell me what you want and I'll do my best.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Unfortunately.

The Inu-gang was up early the next morning, courtesy of Sesshoumaru. He apparently had gone searching in Kagome's backpack and found a gold mine of sugary foods. He had woken Inuyasha by tackling him out of the tree he was currently sleeping in. Inuyasha's yelling had woken everyone else up. "What the heck did you do that for?!" Inuyasha screamed.
"No reason." Sesshoumaru answered. He was sitting on the ground beside Inuyasha, bouncing up and down in place. A bright smile was plastered on his face. Kagome looked around and saw the candy wrappers by her backpack. She paled slightly.
'I knew I shouldn't have brought that much.' She thought to herself.
"What's wrong with Sesshoumaru?" Shippou asked. Kagome sighed and pointed. "He ate all my candy!"
"Why is that bad?" Miroku asked, peering thoughtfully at Sesshoumaru.
"Well," Kagome started. "we now have a very hyper youkai on our hands." They all looked around the clearing and saw various things strewn around. Kagome huffed indignantly. Inuyasha, meanwhile, jump-tackled Sesshoumaru, to get back at him. It soon turned into an all-out brawl between the brothers. Sango walked over to help Kagome pick up all her stuff.
"It's sort of nice seeing them together without being at each others throats." She said. Kagome nodded in agreement. Sesshoumaru looked up at the girls from his new perch a top Inuyasha. He had him pinned to the ground and was sitting on him. Inuyasha did not look happy. Sesshoumaru on the other hand, looked extremely pleased with himself. It was a little unnerving to see the once stoic youkai lord bouncing out of pure sugar-high with a big grin on his face and acting like a child. He looked..kinda cute. Kagome shook her head to rid herself of the thought. This change in him was only temporary. He would go back to being the uncaring jerk he used to be as soon as he regained his memory. Sango and Kagome soon got everything back into the backpack, their progress hampered only once by Miroku. Shippou pouted from Kagome's shoulder as she picked up all the candy wrappers.
"Don't worry, Shippou. I'll bring you some more when I go home next." Kagome assured him.
"Home?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Where is your home? For that matter, where is my home? I do have one, right?"
"Let me up and I'll tell you." Inuyasha grumbled. Sesshoumaru climbed to his feet and extended a hand to Inuyasha. He ignored it and got up on his own. "You could stand to lose a few pounds, Fluffy." (Come now, you didn't really expect em to make Inu-kun a complete nice guy, did you?) He brushed the dirt off his kimono. "It's none of your damn business where Kagome lives. Don't know where your home is, and don't really give a shit." Sesshoumaru punched him in the face, sending him flying into a tree. His face had regained its emotionless look.
"You could stand to learn some manners, insolent half-breed." He said quietly. Inuyasha leapt to his feet and snarled a Sesshoumaru.
"SIT!" Kagome yelled, stopping the fight before it could go any further.
"What'd you do that for, wench!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"Look, I don't care what kind of grudge you hold on your brother, you are going to have to at least be civil with him while he's traveling with us! And don't try to argue with me, you won't win!" She yelled the last remark when he opened his mouth to refute what she had said. Kagome put her backpack on her ever faithful bike, mumbling angrily under her breath. "Well?" The group was looking at her in shock. They collected their wits and started walking again. Sesshoumaru took a spot at the back of the group when Inuyasha took his usual place in the front. Kagome pedaled along quietly beside Sango with Shippou still on her shoulder, and Miroku walked a little behind them, enjoying his view of what he would call lovely scenery. Sango knew what he was thinking and threw a small glare over her shoulder. She thought over the events of the morning. At first, she had thought Inuyasha would be able to overlook his grudge for the time being, but no such luck. She couldn't help but sympathize a little with the disgruntled hanyou. Sesshoumaru did try to kill him after all. She stared at Inuyasha's back. He was really tense. His shoulders were taut. He probably expected all of this to be a trap and for Sesshoumaru to attack him when he least expected it. Now that she had had a chance to sleep on it, she wasn't sure at all whether or not to trust the taiyoukai. She looked over her shoulder again. Sesshoumaru seemed preoccupied. His ears and nose were twitching as he smelled and heard everything he could. She guessed he was trying to identify sounds and smells that he was experiencing for the "first time". Shippou was thinking something along the same lines. He hopped off of Kagome's shoulder and stood still, waiting for Sesshoumaru to catch up. When he did, the kit jumped up and clutched onto his clothes. Sesshoumaru looked down at the small kit.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Whatcha smelling?" Shippou asked.
"Everything. There's a lot out there." Shippou nodded.
"Do you remember anything yet?"
"No. I tried to remember this morning and I thought there might be something in Kagome's bag to remind me, but I didn't find anything. Well, I found the chocolate. I didn't eat all of it." He pulled a candy bar out of his kimono and handed it to the kit. Shippou settled himself on Sesshoumaru's shoulder and bit happily into the chocolate treat.
"Ya know, you're not so bad." Shippou said.
"Was I bad before?" Shippou nodded emphatically.
"You tried to kill Inuyasha."
"Why?"
"To get the Tetsusaiga."
"What's a Tetsusaiga?"
"Inuyasha's sword. Your father gave the Tetsusaiga to Inuyasha. It can kill a hundred demons in one swing."
"Where is my father?"
"I think he's dead."
"Oh." Sesshoumaru sobered at these new pieces of information. He felt bad that he couldn't remember his father. He should have. He would've known his father, because he was older than Inuyasha. Unless they shared mothers not fathers. But Shippou had said your father, so that would mean they shared fathers. And why would he try to kill his brother. Not even a sword like the Tetsusaiga should come between brothers, so there must be another reason. What was that reason though? Did his father give him a sword as well? If so, where was it? Was it at his home? Well, to find that out, he'd have to find out where home was. And if his own brother didn't know where home was, how was he supposed to find it? All this was giving him a headache. A new scent came to his nose. "What's that smell?" He looked ahead at his brother. Inuyasha had his nose in the air trying to catch the scent.
"Feh, I don't smell anything." He called back.
"Well, his nose is better than yours, Inuyasha." Miroku pointed out. Inuyasha growled at the monk.
"It's getting closer." Sesshoumaru could feel the initial twinge of anxiety growing as steadily as the scent. Inuyasha cursed as he finally caught wind of the smell. "What is it?"
"A snake demon." Inuyasha growled.
"I sense a Shikon shard too." Kagome said nervously. "It's coming fast." Sesshoumaru watched as the group prepared for the attack. Inuyasha unsheathed his sword. It transformed to look like a fang. Sango took off her outer kimono and shoved it in Kagome's bag. She unstrapped the large boomerang from her back. Miroku held his staff in front of him. Kagome took out her bow and strung an arrow. Shippou held tighter to Sesshoumaru. Kirara transformed into her larger form and snarled in the direction of the demon. It burst from the trees with a hiss and rushed at the group.
