Reviews are always appreciated, as well as suggestions for this story, for a new story, or for reading someone else's story.

Moko-moko-sama (sp?), the fluffy thing over his shoulder, will be referred to as "his fluffy" in narration, and "my fur" by Sesshoumaru.

Oh, I didn't even finished the first description when I realized the beginning of this story sounds a lot like some of the InuxSessh stories I've read (basic concept, for some reason Sesshoumaru is being forced to be nice to Inuyasha and he drags him off to his castle and isolates him from his friends). Well, just to let you know, no, this is not an InuxSessh pairing story. In fact, there probably won't be any detailed mention of any couples, w/ the possible exception of their parents. Maybe. But this is NOT a romance. Just to clarify.

On with the story!

Fluffy Memory

GAH! What's taking so long? The sun will be down any minute! That jerk, he's probably going to try and stall so I run out of time!

Inuyasha was pacing back and forth in a beautiful garden at the palace of the Lord of the West. Sesshoumaru had insisted that the questions all be asked there, for the ease of answering as well as avoiding unwanted listeners. Inuyasha had been hesitant to go, especially since Sesshoumaru refused to let him bring his companions, and started to imply that he was a coward to depend on humans to protect him. So, Inuyasha went. Or rather, he agreed to go, and Sesshoumaru carried him away because Kagome kept trying to 'sit' Inuyasha. The arrangment was that from the time the sun disappeared behind the horizon that night, until the same time the following night, Inuyasha could ask Sesshoumaru ANYTHING, and Sesshoumaru would have to answer to the best of his ability, the whole truth. No lying, avoiding answering, implying or in any way misleading. Inuyasha was anxious to get started, and the sun was almost down, but Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be seen, and the entire castle reeked of Sesshoumaru, so thoroughly that there was no way to tell if he was near or not.

Where IS he?

Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Anxious, Little Brother?"

"About time you showed up! It's already sunset!"

"Very true, but as you can see, the sun has not yet disappeared beneath the horizon."

Inuyasha was sitting on the ground, his leg bouncing in anticipation. Sesshoumaru smirked again.

"Impatient little pup, aren't you?"

"Shut up!"

"No." They waited, the only sounds to be heard were the chirping of crickets and Inuyasha's irritable breathing. Finally,

"Proceed."

"Eh?"

"You may start asking questions."

"Oh! Ummm…"

"You did not think of any in advance?" Sesshoumaru said mockingly.

"Shut up!"

Sesshoumaru shrugged.

"If that is what you wish, Little Brother. But I was quite capable of being quiet in the clearing."

"That isn't- I mean I didn't- I…"

"Calm down, and think."

Hmph. Foolish hanyou. If nothing else, this is amusing.

Look at him, smirking! I'll show you, Sesshoumaru, I'll come up with a question that'll get YOU all flustered. But what to ask…

Inuyasha smiled.

"Sesshoumaru?"

"Yes?"

"What is your most embarrassing memory?"

Sesshoumaru turned and looked at him.

How do I avoid this?

"And don't forget, no avoiding the question, you have to give me the straight answer!"

Damn. Oh well, there are worse things he could have asked.

Sesshoumaru brought the end of his fluffy to his hand.

"My fur is longer than my body, which is why it is draped over my shoulder, so it does not drag on the ground. After all these years, I am rather well adjusted to my tail, but when I was very young, I had difficulty adjusting. At a ball father was hosting in celebration of his and my mother's anniversary, I tripped over my own fur while coming down the stares to join the festivities. My entrance had just been announced, so the eyes of literally every noble lord and lady in Japan, as well as many mainlanders, were upon me as I tripped over my own fur and fell down a long flight of stairs." (Sesshoumaru is referring to demon lords and lady's- he does not recognize human nobility.)

"HA! You must have been SO embarrassed!"

"Indeed."

End Chapter

I wonder if there is a fan club devoted to the fluffy? Heehee, just a thought. Hm. I realize this was short, and slightly random. Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, but I think in this situation it would take Inuyasha a little bit to come up with a good question. I figure the first would have to be something generic. Please review!

Oh, a small look ahead, the next chapter will go into Sesshoumaru's upbringing. Inuyasha will ask another generic question, (which I have already decided on), but Sesshoumaru is forced to give a much more, involved answer.
