Kouga, Ayame, and their children decided to join, but when they got close to Naraku's castle, Blossom and Inu no Taisho were to stay with them. It was too dangerous for them.

They were relatively walking in the same formation, except Kouga, Ayame and the children were in the middle. The children had to be protected for they still had a long life ahead of them.

All the older demons were looking tree to tree, bush to bush for any sign of Naraku. There was the same strong scent leading the group, but nothing else. Sesshomaru was deep in thought. It was quiet, not a sound except their footsteps. Wait, it was a little too quiet.

"Stop," he ordered and everyone ceased. Ayame told her children to stay close to her. If Sesshomaru had a reason to stop, it was important. "Listen."

It was deeply silent. Not a sound. "I hear nothing, dummy. Why did we stop?" Inuyasha snapped, crossing his arms.

"Exactly his point," Casa pointed out. "No birds chirping, no wind blowing. Nothing."

"So, all the birds flew away and it's a perfect day. Big whoop," Inuyasha snapped. "Unless one of Naraku's spawns is nearby, let's keep going."

"But what would make all the birds fly away?" Sesshomaru stated, looking in every ear of all the trees.

"Maybe a big noise?" Inuyasha suggested.

"You're thinking like the idiot Inuyasha. The one I always tried to kill," Sesshomaru remarked.

"Naraku's spawns, perhaps?" Kagome suggested, her hand on an arrow.

"No, we would sense it," Casa told her.

"Perhaps one that disguises his or her scent?" Inu no Taisho remarked. Sesshomaru shot his head up and turned to the group.

"An impostor demon," he said. Everyone looked at everyone.

"Well, how would we know who's an impostor and who isn't?" Casa asked, worried.

"Ah, that is the million-yen question..." said a voice. Everyone looked around. "You have three questions to ask each. Now, how about we get into a line-up, shall we?"

Suddenly, everyone felt like they were being pulled like a board piece.

"Three questions each. Starting with you, Inuyasha," the voice said. They were lined up as so: Inuyasha, Casa, Kouga, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Blossom, Inu no Taisho. The four children were kept to the side, confused at what was going on.

Inuyasha was puzzled, and was suddenly pulled forward and turned around.

"Question number one to your lovely sister-in-law, Casa," was announced.

Inuyasha was confused, but Sesshomaru put a finger to his lips. "Watch what you say. If you ask a question, it might be counted."

"The rules of the game... You are allowed three questions to each member. If you suggest that you know who the impostor is, you will be put back in line. Once everyone is done, Sesshomaru, you shall be placed in front. Whomever you think is the impostor, you must slay however you please."

Casa bent over, looking at Sesshomaru. His head was high, concentrated on Inuyasha. This was all depending on him, and someone's life was on his hands, for sure.

"So, question number one, Inuyasha," the announcer demanded.

"Uh, uh..." He stuttered. "When do you change into a sorceress?"

"The night before the full moon."

"For how long?" Inuyasha demanded.

"That night and the following day."

Inuyasha paused. "Where did you marry Sesshomaru?"

"In the garden."

Inuyasha was jerked back in line suddenly and Casa was forced ahead. She was turned and jerked, facing the group. "Your three questions to Kouga."

"Where is it that you wanted to take me?"

"The pond nearby."

"How long were you in love with me?"

"Since the day we met."

"Who is the love of your life?"

"Kagome..." He got an angry glare through Sesshomaru and Kagome before correcting himself. "Sorry, make that Ayame."

Casa was suddenly pulled and Kouga thrust in front. "Three questions to Kagome, the not-love of your life, hehe."

"How did we meet?"

"You kidnapped me."

"How did I lose my comrades?"

"Kagura, sent by Naraku, killed them."

"How many jewel shards did I originally have?"

"Three."

Kouga was then replace was Kagome, who questioned Sesshomaru. But, the rules changed when it came to Sesshomaru.

"Ask your six questions to anyone in the group. Go on, ask away."

He asked one to each, each one personal and only they would know. Like, for example, "Inuyasha, how did your mother die?"

"A raid of robbers killed her."

"Kagome, what is your dirty little secret?"

"I'm truly a damsel in distress."

"Kouga, how did we meet?"

"Ginta and Hakkaku insisted I did not meet you and we met through them."

"Casa, how old were we when we first met?"

There as a pause as Casa retraced her childhood. "Three," she answered, "in human years."

He nodded and passed Ayame. He did not know the woman long enough to question her. He asked his children and Inuyasha one more question before walking back to place.

The rest did their three questions, and Sesshomaru was thrust in front. "WHO IS THE IMPOSTOR?" Rang out.

Sesshomaru looked over the group.

"How about elimination round?"

"Ayame."

She was taken to her children.

"Inuyasha."

He was taken to the children. One by one, people were taken to the group of non-impostors. Until it boiled down to Kouga and Casa, his own mate.

"Who is it? Your own mate, or the male you have befriended, saving your child ward a long time ago?"

He looked at Casa in the eye, seeing her eyes looked worried back at him. He looked at Kouga, who stood proud and tall, but scared still in the end.

"Kouga."

The male joined his mate. Casa freaked and was able to move. Sesshomaru looked away. How could he kill an impostor who looked exactly like his mate? But a smile crept across his face, poison edging his claws and he slain the woman. A scream, exactly like Casa rang out as Sesshomaru closed his eyes. Please, please, please...

"Oh my!" Kagome gasped.

Sesshomaru opened his eyes to see a warty demon transform from Casa's body. So, Sesshomaru had guessed right.

"Oh my... How... How did you know?" Cried out.

"Casa would not stutter to know how old we were when we met. She would also not know when Kouga exactly fell in love with her, so she shouldn't have asked that question. But what really got me," Sesshomaru chuckled, "was the fact she answered my question in human years, not demon years. I know she answer all my age questions to her in demon years, and does not specify it."

Tree leaves and bushes rustled as heavy pants and footsteps fled. But Sesshomaru smiled and used his poison whip to trap the fleer. He brought the demon over.

"Now where is my mate!" He ordered, his eyes tinting red.

"I have no reason to tell you where that half-breed is!"

That just boiled Sesshomaru's blood even more, not to add onto Inuyasha's. "Where is my wife?"

The whip around the demon tightened, but was not lethal. But very painful. A scream of pain erupted.

"Naraku! Naraku took her! When you were traveling, and she went to gather berries, he took her then."

That was correct. Casa had went out earlier that morning to get berries, but returned with none.

With a flick of Sesshomaru's wrist, the demon was slashed into pieces just inches from Sesshomaru. But not a droplet of blood landed on him.

"Let's get my wife back," Sesshomaru hissed, stalking forward. "Before I get really angry."
