A\N: The next couple of chapters are going to be short. And maybe a little bit rushed. But I think it'll be worth it in the end.
-RamblingPhilosopher - Lol, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but now I'm afraid I have to gravitate back to some of the other characters in the story.
-lunerfox -
-Doku-Tanto - You read from 1... to 29... oo... Wow, you probably have almost as much time on your hands as me! Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it-- It's always nice to have enthusiastic readers!
-MustluvKits101 - Well that's okay, I usually rant enough for the both of us!
-Almandine-Azaleea - No Miroku or Sango in this chapter, sorry, but we've got the mention of one of the other vital characters from the anime, which means he may turn up one of these days.
-Box Queen - Wow, are you serious? Yeesh-- I had no idea. Where do you learn all this stuff?-- actually, I do have another question-- Is Kouga's tail real? I'm in serious doubt about this because he never moves it and it looks like it's attached to his waist (in fact I'm almost certain it is) but I've been wrong before, and it would be nice to put that debate to rest.
-Sexy Kat - Well, she might not be so upfront about the whole "child-bearing" thing, but yeah, he should definitely wake up already so she can tell him she loves him to his face!
-sourapple10000 - Yay! I look forward to reading your next chapter!
-Darking Queen - WAFF? -- Warm and Fluffy Feeling. Lol, I'm a bit behind on some of the internet "slang" and definitions myself actually, but I'm slowly catching on. -- Lol, you're a fairly smart one ain't ya? What gave you that idea though?
Also, I would just like to point out (something I have done several times before and will likely do several times again) that that thing Sesshomaru wears is not his tail! I say this for five reasons 1) It's coming "out" of his shoulder for hell's sake-- how could a tail manage that? 2) It looks nothing like the actual tail he has when he transforms. In fact, it looks nothing like a tail period! 3)You all remember the episode (mentioned in the story sort of) where Sesshomaru battled Inuyasha with the dragon claw to try and break Tetsusaiga? Well, when Rin found him later, he was using the fur to rest against, and you could quite clearly see both ends of it-- neither of which, I might add, were attached to him! 4)There is no muscle in the thing! It just blows\floats\trails around like a piece of... well fur! If it were his tail, wouldn't he have more control over it's movements? And 5) Toutousai himself said that it was not a tail. Well, more specifically he said "a cloak made of some kind of fur" when he was asking Inuyasha for protection from Sesshomaru.
Now, I'm a reasonably unreasonable person most of the time I think, but right now I'm fairly certain that this is enough evidence to prove once and for all that that whatever-the-hell-it-is is not a tail. Yes, I have put a lot of thought into this, and Yes, I do have way too much time on my hands, but that really doesn't have anything to do with anything. The point is that, like Inuyasha (who ended up with dog ears for hell's sake) Sesshomaru seems to have absolutely no tail when he's not transformed.
Anyway, I'm done now, on with the story

Strange
'Kagome.' Amaya's voice rang through the small dungeon, effectively startling Kagome and waking her.
'Huh?' Kagome asked, starting slightly as she blinked around to try and locate the sorceress, who was crouching down near the end of the bars, staring intently at her.
'You spoke to me of a brother of Inuyasha's-- a Sessumaru or something.' Kagome blinked, reaching up to rub the sleep out of her eyes as she scrunched her face up to try and think straight.
'Yeah... Sesshomaru-- Inuyasha's half brother. What about him?'
'I need to know about his sword-- the Tenseiga you spoke of.' The woman demanded, and Kagome blinked, finding it oddly funny that the woman had remembered the name of the sword, but not the name of the demon himself.
'Tenseiga?' Kagome said blearily, blinking up at her, trying to organize her thoughts.
'Stop being such an incompetent, we don't have time!' Amaya snarled, making Kagome jump in surprise. She considered getting angry, but realised that the sorceress was serious about this, that it was clearly something important, and anything that Amaya considered important must truly be so.
'It was made from his father's fang, like Inuyasha's, only it brings humans back to life. That's at least what Toutousai says.'
'Toutousai?' Amaya asked, momentarily distracted.
Kagome nodded. 'He forged the swords.' She said. 'He's the one who made the Tetsusaiga and told Inuyasha about the Wind Scar that Inuyasha finally managed to use after Sesshomaru started attacking him and tried to break Tetsusaiga--'
'Break it?' Amaya asked sharply, not missing a beat. 'But you told me before that he wished to steal it.'
'Well at first he did, when Inuyasha chopped off his arm--'
'Inuyasha chopped off his arm?' She asked, wondering just how much of this story she was missing.
'Mmhm.' Kagome said, nodding her head in confirmation. 'When he first tried to take the Tetsusaiga, it was trapped in their father's grave that was inside Inuyasha's eye, and Sesshomaru went in there and they got into a fight and Inuyasha chopped off his arm, and he can't get it back now because it's still locked in Inuyasha's eye. And then-- hey wait! Where are you going?' Kagome asked as the sorceress rose and began to swiftly descend the stairs.
'Where I need to.' The woman called back, and then the dungeon door slammed closed, and Kagome was left to contemplate her words.
'Well that was strange.' Kagome said out loud, for no other reason than to have something to fill the silence that threatened to consume the room. 'I wonder what that was all about.'
