Cards, dice, and good rice wine.

"Hit me"
"Hit me again."
"Your turn."
"What did you say this game was called again?"
"I didn't, it's just a game I learned from Souta."
"MmHmm, that is the little brother of that human wench yes?"
"Yep."
"Hit me again"
Silence prevails for a while, until Inuyasha gets the card he's been waiting for.
"Damn it! You win again. If I didn't know you better I'd swear you cheat."
"Nah, 's just 'Breeds luck. Being a half blood has to be good for something after all."
"Bull shit."
"You're just a sore loser, pass the wine."
It was a typical mating season for the two bachelors. Stock up on wine and munchies, make sure your favorite dice are on hand, then find a good hiding place and wait 'til it's over. As soon as they stepped into the pearl, they found themselves in the otherworld of their father's tomb. This time though, they came out directly in his rib cage. Inuyasha set up a living area while Sesshoumaru dealt with his eye. Out of the brother's capacious sleeves came cards, dice, packets of dried meat and ramen noodles, a large thermos of water (snitched from Kagome's bag with the ramen noodles.), and skin after skin of some excellent rice wine. They were all set to go. They even had money on hand to wager with. What more can a bachelor want?
His master was acting weird again. For eleven months out of every year he alternately hated or refused to acknowledge his half brother. Then, for a week straight, he worried about where he was and if he could find him. Even stranger, he would disappear for two or three weeks at a time with his brother and come back and be perfectly amicable towards the half breed for anywhere from two days to a week! This time though, this time really took the cake. Not only did Lord Sesshoumaru forgive Inuyasha for poking out his eye, he actually complimented him for doing it! Now Jaken was under orders to take the strangely coruscating jewel to that horrible miko girl along with Rin and a few other things for safe keeping. As if that wasn't bad enough, those crazy Ladies had shown up looking for his lord, and dressed him like a woman! Not just any woman either. No, evil creatures, they had, ten thousand miseries, dressed him as a geisha! His Lordship was right to flee; gods (or the author ^___^) alone knew what they'd do next!
TBC…
Hee hee, poor Jaken. Daisy chains and women's clothing just are NOT his cup of tea. I hope this was better than the last one. Review and let me know. Adios, - Kracken
