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…

"I want a divorce," Tetsaiga grumbled.

"Whatever you want, darling. Just marry me first and you can have it," Tensaiga said cheerfully.

"You cheated."

"You always say that."

"You always cheat!"

"You're just a sore loser," Tensaiga said, shaking his head sadly. "You really need to work on that."

"No I don't!" Tetsaiga exclaimed. "Because you're the only person I lose to! And you cheat! So it doesn't count!"

"There's a name for your disease. It's called denial."

"And yours is called a superiority complex. People don't like people with your disease. In fact, I think I'm going to leave you."

"Not likely," Tensaiag said with a snort.

"And why not?" Tetsaiga said, glaring.

"Because a, you love me, and b, you're an ex-sword. If you leave me who else is going to put up with you?"

"I'm very desirable, thank you very much! I don't need you for love!"

"No one else is going to put up with your whining," Tensaiga assured him.

"Maybe I want to be single."

"Please, just like Inuyasha you have dependency issues. You can't handle being alone."

"I can so," Tetsaiga retorted. "Watch me!"

"Ok."

"…"

"Aren't you leaving?"

"…best two out of three?"

"Oh get over yourself and start telling the story. I'll deal the deck while you do."

Chapter 5: But Nothing to Understand

Everything would not be fine. In fact I was certain everything would end horribly. And these horrible ends would be Sesshomaru's. Ever single last one. Oh yes, he would suffer. He would die over and over again.

But you know what the best part of Sesshomaru's inevitable painful demise? I would still be locked in the fucking Western Castle because only he could unlock the doors!

"You despicable half-breed," Jaken screeched. "Get away from those doors! Do not defile the royal doors with your impure hands!"

"Fucking bastard," I muttered under my breath, walking on top of Jaken and down the hall. "Think you can fucking lock me up in this damn castle? We'll see about that!" As I stormed off I heard something like the sounded like an annoying green toad like demon popping up off the floor.

"How dare you do that! Only Lord Sesshomaru has that privilege! Staff of-"

"Look, toad, I'm not in the mood," I said, yanking the staff out of his hands. He looked up at me like he wasn't quite sure whether to glare at me or to be afraid of me. Well I'd make the choice very simple for him. "If you point that thing at me again, I guarantee that my damn brother will find you strung up like a slimy new decoration across his bedroom wall. Get it?"

"Y-yes," he squeaked. I dropped him and watched as he bounced into the door.

"Good. See that you remember it."

"Sesshomaru!" I yelled. "Sesshomaru come here! Sesshomaru you unlock the damn doors! Sesshomaru!"

"Inuyasha. Stop yelling like a child."

I didn't jump. I had nerves of steel. I was not frightened so easily. He could not spook me by suddenly appearing behind me.

Much.

"I am not yelling like a child!" I screamed, stamping my foot in an attempt to make my point.

I might have gone about that the wrong way.

"I am not a child!"

"No, I suppose not," Sesshomaru said. And the way he looked at me…it was like he wasn't the same person he had been just an hour or two earlier that morning. It couldn't be described, that look. It was beyond anything that I could comprehend, it was a dark look, but was lighter at the same time than anything I'd ever seen him wear at the same time. It was paradox.

But it didn't faze me in the least. I did not loose the ability to speak for the second, maybe third time that day. I did not take a step back, feeling somewhat alarmed. Because Sesshomaru can't scare me. Nope. Not even a little, no matter what he does. Nope, I didn't give that look a second thought.

"What were you screeching about, Inuyasha?" he asked after I didn't say anything.

Which wasn't because I was still reeling from that look, which had disappeared.

"I wasn't screeching," I growled. I don't screech. Obviously.

He didn't even reply to that.

Why did he do that? How did he do that? How could he stand there and by doing only that manage to convey a distain for me, manage to tell me I was being extraordinarily stupid and he didn't think that I was worthy enough for a reply?

Damn him!

"You said you didn't kidnap me," I hissed at him, glaring as best I could consider he was standing there in a completely unimposing manner.

"I didn't," he said composedly. I think that I might have even caught a glimmer of annoyance in his eyes.

But it' entirely possible I was hallucinating.

"Then let me out!" I screamed at him. I was prepared right then to take his swords and bash him over the head with them repeatedly, then storm the castle and hang Jaken up like a light on the ceiling, tear the walls down and then rebuild the place as a statue of myself.

But I didn't. I really wasn't much of a builder, sculptor type person.

"No," he told me simply.

I think then that my heart stopped again. I realized I had a medical problem. Clearly if my heart was stopping all the time I had a medical condition that would probably shorten my lifespan considerably.

And clearly whatever Sesshomaru had poisoned me with hadn't worn off yet, but all I could think was that maybe he wanted me to stay. Maybe he had missed me. Maybe he wanted around. Maybe he actually wanted me.

Clearly I couldn't get medical attention soon enough.

"W-why not?" I managed to croak, most certainly pulling of the calm, collected demeanor I was going for.

"Why do you want to leave? Do you not love me, your own brother, Inuyasha?"

And I died.

Almost literally.

To hear Rin singing some obscene song as she came skipping up to us, dragging Jaken along on a chain as she threw what I could only assume was left over food all over the hall, really ruined the moment.

But that might have been the only thing that kept me from actually dying.

So I suppose I should be grateful to the brat.

Author Notes: Like always, thank you guys for all the reviews! God, my hands are freezing, its hard to type that…that's probably a bad thing. After this I'm am going to check that thermometer. Oh, and if I don't update next week, its 'cause I froze to death. So you'll have to excuse the delay…-tries to grin, but find lips frozen together- At least Inuyasha's not cold. He doesn't know how good he's got it! He should really stop complaining about being sort of kidnapped and locked in. He doesn't know how good he's go it not to live in New Englandah well. I give up with the whole predicting what's going to happen next chapter. Its never what I think it will be, so never mind that. But now I have a question: Does anyone want and update on Christmas, or do you want me to wait until the Wednesday after it like the my schedule would have me update on (cause I can update on both- yay for Christmas vacation!)?

And yes, the chapter was short, but next week I will have gloves on and it will be longer. Seriously, it shouldn't be this hard to type, it shouldn't be hard to type at all…damn, and I was hoping to go through life without having any limbs amputated…

Kiara: And yet another update before Chirstmas! And you can expect one next week as well! I'm actually do quite good! And your welcome! Yeah, Sesshy's not very nice to him..and neither is Rin in this story…and since its only be a week since the last update, it hasn't been so long, so think positive! Have a great holiday too!

The ants go marching one by one hurrah, hurrah.
