Double for you. See you this weekend.
And, once again, thanks for hanging with me.

Circumstance
Book 2: Land of Grass
Chapter 13:
Interrogator
Despite setbacks, and yet another attempt on the barge that InuYasha was beginning to think was cursed, he arrived in Grass.
Grass country was a flat, arid place. He had to dodge quite a few snakes and spiders but other than the annoying wildlife, he didn't see any people during his two day trek through the South East corner of Grass country. In hindsight, that probably should have been an indication that something was wrong.
But InuYasha, for once, decided to look at the bright side: Finally, he was making some progress.
And then he reached the boarder to Rain and was asked to show his documentation.
"For the last time, shithead, I don't have any."
The man with the weird metal plate on his head baring odd stark lines, twitched violently at the insult. His partner, who had been pestering InuYasha for the last hour on his lack of papers, was already purple with rage. Metal head cleared his throat and spoke slowly. "I need to see your documentation, or else you cannot enter the Land of Rain."
"Then I'll just leave. Assface should have told you we went over this already."
Assface sputtered and made to lunge, but metal head sent him a sharp look and jerked his head to the door.
With a snarl, the other man stormed out the door, throwing it open hard enough for it to rock back and slam shut.
Visibly centering himself, metal head turned back to InuYasha. "Where are your parents?"
InuYasha scowled. "Dead. What does that have to do with anything? If I can't come in, I should be able to leave."
His interrogator, because that's what this was starting to feel like, became awkward and for a moment looked like he wanted to apologize. InuYasha sneered.
"You deaf or something? If I can't come in, I should be able to leave."
The flash of sympathy vanished under irritation. "You are a rude child." He looked shocked at himself for saying it, which felt like a victory but it wasn't getting InuYasha any closer to seeing the outside of the door.
"And you're an idiot. You don't hear me complaining about having to listen to you."
"Miken, a word." The voice cut off whatever metal head was going to say. The man stood abruptly and left the room with a glare, but he shut the door quieter than his counterpart.
InuYasha was almost disappointed.
