Disclaimer: Tee hee! Check chapter one!


Me: Guess what guys...that's right...I'M BACK! That's right, I'm back! And feeling great! I've graduated High school, I've got a part time job, and I'm back! Sorry to make all of you wait so long. Hopefully I can finish this story up in no time so you won't have to throw torches at me or something.

Catse: Hm...Torches...

Me: Not you again! Go! Shoo!

Catse: I'm not a dog you know. I'll leave when I like.

Me: Fine, but don't interrupt! Any way, because it's been such a long time, I've asked my counterpart to give you the summary of what's happened so far. Catse!

Catse: I don't feel like it.

Me: (Weilds dangerous knife and set of torches...)

Catse: Suddenly I feel like talking. Okay, here's the story so far: Inuyasha and Kagome got into a fight, and to say he's sorry Inuyasha decides to get her this very pretty bracelet for her birthday. Only problem, it's expensive. So he gets a few jobs, and now he's getting ready to work for Sesshomaru, but what trouble comes from just that job...Hm...We shall find out!

Me: Thank you Catse.

Catse: Don't mention it...Ever...

Me: Okay! On to the story!


Inu left out very early the next morning, even earlier than Kagome woke up. Mrs. Higurashi was still asleep, so Inu took the opportunity to sneak out. He hadn't told Mrs. Higurashi about the latest job he had, even though he knew he should have. For one, it was with his brother, which would be hard to explain to Kagome's mother, and two, well, she just kept getting so excited about seeing him go to his newest job, that he was getting tired of it. He liked pleasing Kagome's mother, but he didn't like her saying how cute he looked in the uniform or trying to fix his hair in any sort of way.

So he didn't tell her and left early the next morning.

He got to the mansion a little bit before he was supposed to, and stood before the gate, waiting for the machine to talk to him again.

When it didn't, he began to wonder how it worked.

Of course, he had no idea how to get the little voice to come on, so after threatening the device for a few minutes and receiving no response, he began to look for another way in. It didn't take him long. There was a part of the fence that didn't have spikes at the top, she he hopped up, scurried over, and landed on the fine prim green grass there. From there he headed towards the front door, and attempted to open it.

But it wouldn't open.

Drat…what now…

He again had to find another way in.

He was starting to get annoyed when he happened to notice an open window, and scampered up the side of the wall, and into it. He wasn't expecting what he got there.

"How about this color? I think it would match very well with his eyes."

"As usual Kouga. You have no sense of Fashion."

"But the suit is cool! Albeit a rather bright yellow, but it comes with a silver tie!"

"Forget it Kouga, my body guard is not looking like some strange mentally incapacitated pimp lord. That suit will not work."

"Okay then, how about this one?"

"It's red Kouga."

"Yeah, so."

"He's already wearing red. We want him to stray from that ugly color."

"But this one comes with a cool black tie!"

"Look, if you want him to look like the star of Hellsing, find another candidate. He's going to wear either Dark Green, Dark Blue, or Black."

"Oh, you like such boring colors Fluffy-sama! Can't he wear something more interesting?"

"He's here to be a body guard, not a Circus performer Kouga. And if you call me Fluffy-sama again I'll drown you in the coy pond behind this house."

Kouga growled over the magazine clippings in front of him as Sesshomaru took a slow sip of his green tea. They had decided to meet this morning in order to mull over the uniform Inuyasha was going to wear as a body guard, and escort him to the store to buy it, as they were both the ones that got him in that situation. Unfortunately, they'd been arguing about his appearance all morning, including what color contacts he would wear, in which it was decided that he'd just wear a pair of sunglasses as they doubted he liked contacts, what to do with his hair, as Sesshomaru insisted it would be cut short and dyed black, and now they were arguing about what suit, tie, and shoes he would wear during the day.

Kouga also wanted to get him an earring, but Sesshomaru would not have it. He wanted professional, not cool looking.

Kouga just figured that Sesshomaru had no sense of style, as he again began sticking the magazine clippings over the quick stick figure sketch of Inuyasha he had made, sort of like a paper doll planning system.

"But the tie Sesshomaru! The tie!"

"What is this obsession with ties you seem to have?" Sesshomaru growled, setting his mug on the table.

"I can't help it…I just like ties. So, how about this suit?"

"I already told you what colors he was going to wear Kouga. I won't have my body guard wearing purple with little white sparkling gems on the tie. It isn't happening."

"Yeah, well I suggested red and you didn't like that, so what am I supposed to do?"

"Just shut up and let me do the planning. This is MY bodyguard after all. Besides, red should never be a suit. It's too brilliant a color."

"This coming from the guy that used to wear that color as an eyeshadow." Kouga murmured, before Sesshomaru took another sip of tea.

"And that's how it should remain used. As an eye shadow."

"Now who has no idea of fashion."

"It remains you with the all time title wolf."

"Yeah, whatever Fluffy-sama."

"Eaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" a voice echoed from upstairs. It sounded strangely familiar to Inuyasha's voice.

"Oh no. Ten bucks says Inuyasha couldn't get in the front door and he snuck into one of the windows upstairs."

"Twenty dollars says you are right."

"Hey! You can't do that!"

"Of course I can. I am the Demon Ruler of Japan right now. I can do as I like."

"But that's not fair!"

"Neither is calling me Fluffy."

Kouga threw Sesshomaru a scowl as the white dog made his way up the stairs of his mansion calmly, and towards the room the scream had come from.

If he was correct, Inuyasha had come into the room of…

He opened the door to find Inuyasha with his arms up in surrender, three or four shuriken pinning the sleeves and pants of his hoari to the wall. A well cared for and heavily loaded machine gun pointed up at the ready, a red beam pinpointed on Inuyasha's forehead, right between the eyes.

"Kagura, put the gun down." Sesshomaru said, walking the rest of the way in. Kagura stood in her night kimono, her black hair loosely draped around her head and shoulders and the large strap of the gun hanging limply around her body as she heaved up the heavy gun in her hands with ease. It was apparent she had been scared rather well too, for her skin had gone paler than it usually was and her bed was overturned.

"He snuck into my room! The little bastard!" Kagura snarled, refusing to let up her aim on Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru sighed, walked in, and pressed the tip of the gun downward.

"Kagura, you remember Inuyasha, don't you?" He asked.

"Of course I do. That's why I want to kill him!"

"Now now Kagura. He's to be my weekly body guard. You can't kill those that are going to be working with you."

"Oh yeah, just try me." She attempted to aim at Inuyasha again, but found the tip of her gun bent in an awkward position. She turned her eyes to scowl at her employer.

"I already have. Inuyasha, if you wanted in the house, you could have knocked."

Inuyasha frowned.

"Yeah, well the stupid box in the front wouldn't talk to me and your door was locked. What was I supposed to do?"

"Knock." Sesshomaru repeated as Kouga came into the room. He whistled at the damage and smirked uncontrollably.

"My my Inuyasha, I didn't think you would go so far as to sneak into Kagura's room. That's the first I've heard of that being possible since I tried it last."

Kagura heaved the heavy weapon over her shoulder and glared with menacing eyes at Kouga.

"Yeah, well I was waiting for you when you tried it. That's why I now keep shuriken and kunai under my pillow at night. Because you came in to steal my fan I now have to keep weapons every where."

"It was a joke! I wasn't really intending to take it!"

"Doesn't matter. It was still tried."

"Um, guys." Inuyasha squeaked out, before growling at himself for the sound of fear. He cleared his throat. "I'm still stuck to the goddamn wall!"

"Oh, right. Kagura, take down the shuriken. I really do have to have him dressed for his position as body guard."

Kagura rolled her eyes, glared at Kouga one last time, before walking to Inuyasha and plucking, one by one, the ninja stars from the wall.

When Inuyasha was finally standing on his feet, he flexed his arms and glared at Kagura, very angry with the fact that he had decided against bringing his Tetsusaiga with him.

He would have finally been able to settle the score with the wind witch.

"Don't give me that look, or I'll fill your head with lead." Kagura said, watching Inuyasha's expressions.

"Oh yeah! Just try it!"

Suddenly a clawed finger pinched Inuyasha's ear, sending pain straight to his skull as it dragged him away towards the door.

"Come along Inuyasha. We have much to do to get you ready to be a body guard in a day's time. We cannot waste it dawdling in argument."

"Sesshomaru! Let me go!"

"Not until we are out of this house. Jaken!"

Suddenly the little toad like creature popped out of nowhere, ready to please, but a scowl on his face lit to life when he saw Inuyasha. "Yes Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Call in my limo. We have to go shopping."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." And Jaken vanished down the hall mumbling about useless hanyou's and how he'd love them all to be burned.

Kouga smiled at the toad, and then decided in his quick boredom, to pester Inuyasha.

"Well, isn't this a sibling situation. The older brother is taking his wittle brother shopping. Keh! I never thought I'd see the day."

"Hey! You shut up wolf-shit!" Inuyasha shouted, fighting with the strong hold on his ear in order to get a good hit on Kouga. But, fortunately for Kouga, he was too far ahead. "Get over here so I can hurt you!"

"Why would I want to do that? I'm having too much fun watching you struggle with Fluffy-sama."

"Why you!"

"Kouga." Came Sesshomaru.

"Yeah."

"Shut up."

"Why?"
"Because if you continue I will call Kagura down here to finish this argument."

"Point taken."

The three were silent as they finally made it to the front door, out, and to the limo.

Now, Inuyasha had seen many cars, including trucks and vans, but he had never set his eyes on a limo. The long vehicle caught his attention immediately, even more so after Sesshomaru pushed him into the open and waiting door and then sat next to him. The interior was incredible! Black leather seats met them with open arms, and they were comfortable too! There was a small table in the middle, and several drawers at the sides with snacks and wine and champagne, as Kouga happily helped himself to some from across the limo, near the driver. All of the windows were covered in red velvet curtains and the lights on the inside were little ornate roses, in which left a rather interesting swirly black cast across the inside for which gave the area a sort of dark gothic glow. Between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sat a small button console, and when Inuyasha went to touch it, he got his hand slapped away.

"Don't touch my stuff half-breed."

"Well excuse me." Inuyasha huffed under his breath as Sesshomaru took the console and hid it under the seat. The door of the limo was closed, and they set out on their way.

Sesshomaru and Kouga talked about a few things, to which Inuyasha had no clue what they were discussing. Something about gas prices and what suit companies were the best ones to visit.

Kouga argued about one business, but Sesshomaru was very determined about another, and Inuyasha found them so confusing and boring he decided that his best bet for entertainment would be to glance out the window through the curtain. He actually found it rather funny though, as he began to think about the jobs he had already gone through. Let's see, he was a Janitor for Kagome's school, a police officer for a day, and now he was Security Guard…and all changed in one week! He doubted humans changed careers so often as he, but it was difficult for an illiterate hanyou to find a job in an era five hundred years after his time. It was one of those things he was grateful he had found his obnoxious brother and the jerk Kouga here for. He would never admit it of course, but he was extremely glad to have people he knew from his time here, even if he hated their guts.

A small ring by the sound of a classical music erupted in the small room they sat in, and Inuyasha nearly leapt through the ceiling. Or at least he would have if Sesshomaru hadn't have placed a hand on his shoulder to keep him in the seat.

He reached into his pocket and produced a small black cell phone that he opened up and began chatting into.

Inuyasha figured that was what had made the noise and calmed down slowly, hoping it didn't do that every time he got a call, or at least that Sesshomaru didn't get many.

Sesshomaru's conversation on phone was short, something about the business going great and asking after the others. When he finally hung it up and put it away, the limo had stopped and Sesshomaru proceeded to snatch Inuyasha's ear again and pull him out of the limo.

Kouga thought it all quite funny, so kept smiling the entire time they made their way up to the store. The limo disappeared down the road, and would find a parking spot to wait on Sesshomaru's call.

The store itself, some fanciful name Inuyasha couldn't pronounce, was a very clean, smelly place. Smelly in the strong perfumes and colognes that wafted through the air, and the smell of new clothes just barely set up for sale.

"Oh, hello Mr. Surunai! What can I do for you today?" a young lady asked only a moment after they came in.

"I'm here to attain a suit for my newest body guard. I want black, same material I use, with a 32 cm waist, 6 inch shoulder line on either side, arm length should be about 23 inches or so and the pants can be measured to fit. Do you have all of that?"

"Sure do Mr. Surunai! Please come right this way and we'll have it made in no time."

To say the least, Inuyasha hated the trying on of the clothes. For one thing, the outfit was more restricting than the police officer uniform by three fold! The thing made you stand erect, and if you bent it moved in an awkward way, and if you kneeled you'd get it dirty, especially with the kind of black Sesshomaru liked. And he kept getting poked! The lady that was fixing his uniform to fit kept poking him with the needle! It was getting annoying beyond belief! In fact, Inuyasha wanted to toss the lady to the side and run! But he didn't. The glare from Sesshomaru's green contacted eyes kept him in place, as they promised a slow, painful death if he screwed up the dressing.

Next came the shoes, in which that was virtually simple. He only had to try on a few pairs of shoes, walk in them, and meet Sesshomaru's standards and once that was done, shoes were no longer even a problem. Socks were easy too, as he had feet similar in size to Kouga and so the size was bought and packed with the suit and shoes. The tie was a different story. This was where Kouga began to argue with Sesshomaru's tastes.

Sesshomaru wanted a simple black tie, or at most, something in a dark color. Kouga wanted red or blue or even, by some sickening account of the color, a pink tie with little red hearts down the front.

Inuyasha swore that if Kouga got his way with the pink tie, he would first burn the offending article and then kill the bastard for even getting it anywhere near him.

But Sesshomaru's decision was final, and so Inuyasha got a black tie to match his uniform. Once all of the items had been paid for, they were again in the limo and driving to a new place. The next place wasn't at all pleasing either.

The Barber Shop…Inuyasha would always dread hearing that word. He would kill the first person that even reminded him of his experience there. The horror…

What had happened was that the guy there had had to take almost an hour to fight the many tangles of Inuyasha's hair just to get it brush able. Then came the washing, in which caused trouble again because it re-tangled Inuyasha's hair, and because of how wet it was, it almost took twice as long as before just to brush it out again, in which it had to be re-dipped in water to prepare it for the cutting. After that, it was a quick snip-snip and Inuyasha's head was as light as a feather.

Then the guy brushed it through with a comb, then sprayed some smelly stuff in his hair, before letting him sit and claiming him finished. When he turned the chair so Inuyasha could see his reflection, Inuyasha admittedly could not recognize the man in the mirror. He still had golden eyes and a red hoari, but now he sat with short, well cropped black hair. To be serious, he actually looked like one of the humans that walked around this area or…Inuyasha thought with a shudder…A lot like Miroku without his pony tail.

"Ah, finally you look civilized." Sesshomaru said to Inuyasha in the mirror. Inuyasha frowned and stood.

After Sesshomaru had paid the bill and they left back to Sesshomaru's mansion in the limo, it was time for Inuyasha to get fully dressed and come out. So when they got there, Sesshomaru directed him straight to a bathroom and told him to change.

To say the least, Sesshomaru didn't think he looked half bad. The black suit fit him rather well, as did the shoes and tie, and the sunglasses they had picked up for him at another store seemed to give him the mean edge he needed, along with the black hair. Hell, he could have passed for a Men in Black recruitee, if it weren't for the gold eyes and the fangs.

Kouga on the other hand, was none to pleased with the image.

"He sucks!" Kouga announced, hands on hips. "I mean, there's nothing to him scary at all. In all actuality, he looks like you Fluffy-sama."

Sesshomaru's green eyes turned to Kouga for a moment, before glancing back at Inuyasha.

"Your first mission as my body guard, once you have been trained, is to kill this tie-infatuated bimbo standing right next to me."

"Hey! Don't be such a tight-ass Sesshomaru!" Kouga hollered. Sesshomaru wasn't listening however, as he summoned Jaken and asked him to summon Kagura.

A few minutes later, the black haired woman came lightly stepping down the stairs, a clean black lacy gown wrapping neatly around her waist, as the top came up with spaghetti strings to hold it up, and a small black jacket covered her bright white shoulders. Heavy green jades hung from her ears, as did a rather large jade from her necklace, and her black steel-toe boots only made her look like she was going out to beat someone, but wanted to look stylish in the process. Her hair was up in a bun, completely composed of a braid that was being held up by silvery black chopsticks.

"You rang Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked, swiping a black lacy fan out and waving it to cool her face. Her eyes quickly advanced to Inuyasha, as she looked him up and down.

"You clean up well mutt." She told him, before Sesshomaru gave her her orders.

"Kagura, Inuyasha needs to learn how to use a gun. I want you to show him."

The room went completely quiet as the words sunk in. When that time had passed, then things became so loud the people living across from the mansion had to cover their ears.

"SAY WHAT?" Came Inuyasha.

"YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND IF YOU THINK I'M TEACHING THAT MUTT HOW TO USE A WEAPON!"

"WHAT ARE YOU THINKIN' WITH! RAMEN FOR BRAINS!"

Sesshomaru took all of this in stride, as he had heard much of the same from lame-brain humans and demon alike over his six hundred years life. When they were finished screaming, and he was certain his ear-drums hadn't popped, he began to explain the reasoning.

"I'm thinking of my assets. Kagura, you know how to use a gun. Inuyasha, you need to know how to use a gun. Both of you are my body guards, therefore, you are my assets."

Kouga snorted. "I think you're off by a couple of letters Sesshomaru. Don't you mean asses?"

Sesshomaru calmly turned, gave a plain glare, and then turned to Kagura, one finger pointing at the wolf.

"Use him as the target."

"Hey! Fluffy-sama! That's not nice!" Kouga shouted as Sesshomaru turned to leave.

"Better yet, just kill him for me Kagura. That is your next order."

"Hey! Sesshomaru!" Kouga barreled after the other demon, knowing full well that that was an order Kagura would be very pleased to fill.

Kagura watched him go with a sort of annoyed look, before turning to Inuyasha and glaring at him.

Inuyasha glared back.

Kagura sighed.

"Let's get this over with mutt. I have an assassination at two and I refuse to be late."

"An assassination?" Inuyasha wondered out loud as he followed Kagura outside. There she revealed her sacred shed of weapons, and promptly pulled out a small hand gun with a few casings of bullets.

"You do know what that is right?" She replied, tossing the gun in his hands. Inuyasha caught it, but instantly dropped it.

"What the hell you do that for?" She snapped.

"I don't want to get shot!" Inuyasha replied.

"It's not loaded you ass-hole! Now pick it up and let's go!" she turned and marched off, leaving Inuyasha to scoop up the gun and follow.

"Anyways, an assassination is when you kill someone. I do it for pleasure during the day considering my body guard duties only include the night time. You better be careful mutt, because if you cause any trouble, you may be the next I get to kill." She stopped in front of an area of the brick wall in the back, where a giant red circle had been painted on the wall. A small dot in the middle marked the spot.

"That, mutt, is the target. Now, first off, you need to load the gun." She took the weapon from Inuyasha and promptly snapped the clip into place. Then, she aimed at the circle and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit straight to the middle, exactly in the center of the small circle.

"When you aim, don't ever close your eyes. That leaves you open for attack because it creates a blind spot anyone can sneak into. Now, this is an automatic, which means as soon as the sucker's loaded, just shoot. Here, you try."

She tossed Inuyasha the gun again, and this time he caught it.

He held it the same way she did, and aimed, but ended up missing the circle altogether.

Kagura was going to say to actually aim first, when a small squirrel fell from the tree next to the target and hit the ground head on. She went to investigate, and came back to say that Inuyasha had hit the wrong target. The squirrel's head was missing.

"You are supposed to aim at the little red dot mutt. Not a little chattering land animal's head. It doesn't work that way."

"I didn't aim at the squirrel!" Inuyasha defended.

"Could've fooled the squirrel."

"Whatever!" Inuyasha bellowed.

Somewhere nearby a car screeched to a halt.

Both Kagura and Inuyasha heard it stop, before, out of curiosity, climbing into the tree near the brick wall. There a guy had pulled over to the side, and promptly climbed out to look at something on his windshield. Then he shrugged, knocked the offending object off, got in, and drove off.

"What happened?" Inuyasha remarked, watching the guy disappear.

"I think he found the squirrel's head." She said, before rolling her eyes and jumping back into the yard, Inuyasha following behind.

It would take him most of that morning to continue practicing, and then a few hours after lunch. Even then, he could only hit in a large cluster around the red dot, but never actually hit it.

"Look mutt, I've got to go. Give me the gun, and head inside. We'll have to do this again tomorrow before my one o'clock killing."

Inuyasha tossed her the gun and then left, happy to have an excuse to get away. In this time, she could fillet his ass with one of her guns, while in the past, he could usually match her up with his sword. Oh what he wouldn't give to have his tetsusaiga with him now!

He sighed and walked into the mansion, taking the back door of the kitchens, and then disappearing into the living room. There, sat Sesshomaru, Kouga, and some stranger sipping tea.

"Ah Inuyasha, how did the practice go?" Sesshomaru asked.

Inuyasha grunted.

"Okay." He said, as he sized up the stranger. The man sitting with them was casually dressed, with his dark blue shirt open just enough to display a rather normal man's neck, with a purple prayer bead necklace in plain view, and a pair of jeans baggily hanging over a fine pair of black tennis shoes. The man wore a silver watch and had an ear pierced, his light reddish brown hair long and in a braid that flopped on one shoulder. His green eyes watched Inuyasha closely through his sunglasses, looking over his uniform and hair cut as he twirled one single coin in a circle on his finger. The man smirked as he tossed the coin and caught it.

"Sesshomaru was quite right. You do clean up well Inuyasha." He said in a somewhat familiar voice. Inuyasha couldn't remember it however, and so was left racking his brain.

"You don't remember him do you?" Kouga asked sarcastically, swigging down a can of soda. Both Sesshomaru and the stranger had a cup of green tea, as Kouga was tired of tea and wanted something more real to his stomach's desires.

Inuyasha shook his head.

Kouga opened his mouth to speak, but the stranger glared at him. "Don't you dare say a thing, I want him to figure it out."

"Oh, and how are you going to do that Sherlock. I doubt he'll recognize you even after all the clues you give him."

"Want to bet?"

"Why would I bet?"

"I bet you an ice-cream cone he'll get it in less than a minute."

Kouga was silent for a moment, debating his options. Finally he smiled.

"You're on."

The stranger grinned, closed his eyes, and then suddenly a pink poof of smoke surrounded him. In the after math sat the same guy, only this time with pointed ears, canine like feet sticking out his shoes oddly, and a big, poofy tan tail.

"Shippo?" Inuyasha inquired.

The man smiled and turned to Kouga. "You owe me an ice-cream cone!" He sang, a big old smile on his face.

"That's cheating!" Kouga shouted, growling.

"No it isn't."

"Yes it is! You're not supposed to change like that!"

"You never said I couldn't. Our only agreement was whether or not he'd figure out who I was in a minute's time. There were no rules about changing form at all."

To this Kouga grumbled, but in the end finally acknowledged his defeat with a low growl.

"That's really you Shippo? You look…very different…" Inuyasha said, wondering how something that couldn't even reach half way up his shin was now fully grown and talking to him in a civilized manner.

Shippo stood up and walked over to him, draping a strong dainty arm on one shoulder. He was now a little taller than Inuyasha himself, in which Inu wasn't too pleased with this development.

"Of course I do! It's been five hundred years! Took about that long to get taller than you too." At this Shippo stepped back and compared his and Inu's height, in which he was at least a couple of inches taller.

"But what are you doing here?"

Shippo frowned. "Visiting you! Ain't it obvious?"

"But, why?"

"What? Are you saying you didn't want to see me?"

"Yes." Kouga pretended to sneeze out, in which Shippo glared at him and threw his coin at him.

"You shut up!"

"Well, I didn't really expect to see you here. I thought you would have already been dead." Inuyasha replied, staring at Shippo.

The room became extremely quiet, in which the only sound that could be heard was Sesshomaru's sipping of his tea.

"Of course I'd still be alive you dummy! I'm a pure blooded fox demon! And we don't die that easily!"

"I'm sure he knows Shippo." Sesshomaru replied finally, setting down his empty cup. "He's merely surprised, as he has been with all of us, that we're still here."

To this Shippo sniffled, almost as if crying. "But…But I thought he'd remember me…."

"Oh break if up you Cry Baby!" Kouga hollered. "You're making me sick."

"You shut up you stupid wolf! You know nothing of my anguish!"

"Oh yeah! Bring it on Fox! I'll kick your ass! Here and now!"

"Do it outside." Sesshomaru stated loudly. "I've got new carpet in here and I won't have it dotted with blood stains or sweat.

In an instant, both Fox and Wolf ran out the door chasing each other.

Sesshomaru sighed and stood. "They always do that. I would think it's either envy or boredom, but I'm not about to try and classify it, lest I be wrong. In another case, are you surprised Inuyasha?"

"About what?" Came his reply.

"About Shippo appearing. Are you surprised?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Don't know really. Don't think I should be, seeing as everyone from my past keeps popping up everywhere."

"Well, have you figured out what Shippo does now?" Sesshoumaru asked as they both stepped to the window, as to watch Shippo and Kouga's fight. At that moment in time Shippo had created about ten other versions of himself that stood in a rigid circle around Kouga, all of them taunting him with words they couldn't hear inside. Whatever it was ticked the wolf off and so he began a frenzy of punching every Shippo he saw.

"No. What does he do now?"

Sesshomaru smiled, only slightly. "He designed that very suit you're wearing now."

"What? Are you saying…!"

"Yes. He's a fashion designer. Quite odd I must say. I thought he'd design toys before ever touching clothing. But he design's clothing now. Very popular too. He's made quite a bit of money off of his feudal era costume lines and his futuristic material like clothing. I guess you can say he takes toys and turns them into clothes."

"Scary…" Was all Inuyasha could mumble, as Shippo sat up on Kouga head and succeeded in getting the wolf to punch himself by accident.

The wolf fell and Shippo laughed loudly, racing away to disappear into thin air, only to appear behind Kouga and poke him in the back.

When Kouga turned, Shippo was missing again.

"He's learned quite a few new tricks." Was all Inuyasha could say to the Foxes abilities. Shippo had always said he would be powerful one day. Foxes had many tricks, and many great skills, but as Shippo could only disguise himself as another person, but couldn't do it well, Inuyasha never believed him. And yet, here he was, getting a five hundred year old Kouga to chase him around in a circle as if it were nothing but a simple little game he was playing out of boredom. Shippo had become strong…and powerful…
