Disclaimer: How many of you here watch Inu-Yasha? Please say all of you, 'cause other this will be confusing. Now that we've got that cleared up, how many of you remember those funny credit things? You know, the things that "Give Credit" to the people who actually helped with the creation of Inu-Yasha? And it tell you based off the manga by Rumiko Takahashi (Turns out the YGO creator actually has the same last name)? Believe it or not, I'm not in the credits. Because I didn't create Inu-Yasha, and even more shockingly, don't own it. If I did, Sesshomaru would be in it so much more, because clearly he's the best character…

"How do you suppose they'll tell it?" Tetsaiga asked.

"Honestly, I hope," Tensaiga replied. Tetsaiga snorted.

"Yeah right. That is wishful thinking." Tensaiga shrugged.

"You never know. Those two, imbecilic though they undoubtedly are, are full of surprises."

Chapter 1: It Never Is

It was cold tonight. Of course it was cold tonight, it always was cold the night of the new moon. I tell you the damn weather did it on purpose. It always waits until I can feel the cold, all human. And I was freezing. Kagome keeps saying that its not actually cold, but everyone knows she's just trying to make it seem like she's tough. I can see her shivering from over here. The idiot doesn't even try to cover up!

I hate the new moon. Not only is it always cold, it's dark too. Not that I'm afraid of the dark or nothing, 'cause I'm not…its just that I don't think that it has to be dark and cold at the same time. One or the other, 'cause it's just mean to expect people to deal with both at once.

Not that I'm bothered by either one really.

"Inuyasha, would you stop twitching, it's getting annoying," Kagome snapped.

"I'll be right back," I said, trying not to snap back at her. She was getting very prone to sitting me when I was less than perfect to her.

"Where are you going?" she demanded.

"Away," I muttered, dashing off as fast as I could.

It was darker in all the trees with no campfire light. I probably should have grabbed that flashlight thing Kagome likes to bring with her, since I can't see in the dark right now.

But it wasn't a problem. 'Cause I'm above that. And the dark doesn't bother me one bit.

Dammit, I couldn't stop shaking!

"What are you doing here, Inuyasha?"

Shit. Holy fucking shit. Of course, of course Sesshomaru was out here. Of course, why wouldn't he be? After all I was a human right now, why, out of all the possible times, wouldn't I run across him in the middle of the woods?

I was going to die.

Not what I had been planning on doing tonight.

"What are you doing here, Inuyahsa?" Sesshomaru repeated, coming into my small range of sight. Which placed him right in front of me, obviously. "Especially since you are at your most vulnerable right now."

"Like you give a damn about that," I snapped at him. He wasn't cold. Physically, I mean. I could feel the damn heat coming of him.

And I wasn't feeling the least bit compelled to crush myself against him in an attempt to get a little of that warmth. Oh no, not all.

"You're right, I don't," Sesshomaru agreed, his voice staying the same, level, cool tone it always held.

"So you gonna kill me now?" I asked irritably.

"No," he said, looking, I swear to God, at my ears.

"Why not?" Yes, I argued with him. Against his decision not to kill me. And it wasn't because the strain of restraining myself was getting to me. I didn't have anything to restrain myself from doing after all.

"Because I want to kill the half-demon Inuyasha. I will not waste my time with the trivial slaughtering of the human Inuyasha."

"Trial?" I shouted furiously. "Killing me would be trivial?"

"How could killing a weak human be anything but?"

"I'll show you trivial," I fumed. And hugged him.

Ah, no, what I meant to say was took him into a death grip in an attempt to suffocate him.

It wasn't a hug.

Really.

Author Notes: -faint from shock- wow. Forgive me for being a little out of it, but this is the most reviews I've gotten on a single chapter in quite a long time. -stares at the number long- wow. And Shippo was narrating an exceptionally short bit. And people read it. And now I've got Inuyasha narrating. And hugging Sesshomaru no matter what he likes to think. I think I may have tried to use past tense, but then at points was actually using presents tense. -frowns- this is why I never write first person. It's so hard to keep tenses straight. -sighs- ah well. But you're all still welcome, in fact I can tell, desperate to review. It's obvious.

Flurry: Thanks, how you enjoyed this chapter.

Blahsblah2001: Believe, I've thought stupider things…but we won't get into that…-coughs- but I don't know, should I have the swords start every chapter? I should I stop now? Will it get annoying after a while? 'cause in the story they technically are still in sword form, so I'm really giving away something that going to happen later in the story -frowns slightly- oh well.

Hikari-Aoi: Yes! Update! Yes! Not a hint of Shippo! Not one! -dryly- not a big fan of him, huh.

Uzamaki Lilana: Now, a week later, ech, all the same thing. You, on the other hand like Shippo. So, don't worry, its not like he's going to disappear completely I suppose, and he will narrate the epilogue…so although no Shippo, I hope you still liked this chapter.

Dark Angel Of Fire Ice: Thanks. New chapter now- what did ya think?

Kitty McGonagall: Thanks, it wasn't too short or anything? I hope it'll be interesting…and updating just a week later, I shall mark this on my calendar as a miracle. -grins-

InuSessyYaoiGirl: Kikyo will die. Horribly. Kagura too because HOW DARE SHE THINK SHE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SESSHOMARU! SHE MUST BE STOPPED! Sorry, I've recently found out that Sesshomaru is ends up in LOVE with her- its awful! Shippo's only narrating the prologue and epilogue. Everything in between will be Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, trading off every chapter.

Davinci: Here's chapter one! Thanks for reviewing!

And this is longer. Not, I suppose, really long. But a decent, readable length I'd like to think…
