Hm yes, well. I don't think the word hiatus does my lack of writing justice. I just simply didn't have the drive to continue writing this. Mainly cause I've had self-doubt issues. Now, now don't think me gothic or whatever yet! I just didn't think I was that spectacular of a writer back when I got this going. But, I've gotten a bit better I think. So we'll see. I've made it a point to put everything I put out onto to be at least 1000 words long. And I've done so with Kaizayl, but excluding this little rant up here this chapter and all following chapters will be at least 1,200 words. Yay for me, see how this rolls out.

Inuyasha wasn't too thrilled. Maybe it was the cheap beer he was currently downing, or perhaps the need to walk around all the bodies he had neglected to take care of for the past hour. Or it might just be this shitty chair he was occupying. But it wasn't, he had a good guess as to what was getting on his nerves. Kagome. Yes dear old Kagome, nothing particularly wrong with her; nice girl willing to help, all that shit. But, what really had him steamed was what she had spoken to him earlier. She dared to question his morals about killing others. She had no right to do that; he had since confronted those demons and taken care of them. Contraire to what most thought, he didn't kill without any thought to the other person, quite the opposite really, but he had already learned to deal with that and put it behind him without thought. It was part of the job that her got paid for. And as such he didn't have any issue taking others lives. But when someone had contradicted his thoughts on the subject he had to waste time thinking on whether what he thought, or what she thought; was right or not. And seeing as how he wasn't very big on thinking, this annoyed him and thus the pissed mood that had a hold on him. Nothing beer couldn't solve, despite the fact it was cheap as hell. Tasted like shit.

He would have gladly brooded more, but at that moment the swinging door that led to the living room was pushed open towards him and in its wake was Sango. She had the usual look on her face, slightly bored yet observant. She seated herself next to Inuyasha in another one of the cheap chairs, and grabbed one of the previously mentioned cheap beers. After cracking open the top and draining a good half of it, she set it back down on the table and spoke: "You know, what others think isn't something you tend to worry about is it? So tell me, why does it seem like what Kagome said earlier is having a pretty big impact on you?"

Inuyasha scoffed. "The hell are you talking about woman? What she said earlier doesn't affect me at all."

Sango shook her head. " We've known each other how long Inuyasha? Twelve years or so right?"

"Sure."

"And of those years how long were we in almost constant contact with each other? For missions or whatever?"

"Something like nine."

"Right, now you think during those nine years I or Miroku for that matter wouldn't have learned how to pick up on your moods?"

"The fuck you talking about moods? I don't have moods."

"The hell you don't! You have a mood of sorts for damn near everything. Like when you're out of beer you have a slight sulk in the way you speak and walk. Or if you're about to go on an assignment, you have neutrality about you. Examining everything more than need be as if that would help make what you were going to do easier." Sango said in a voice that left no doubt.

Inuyasha stayed silent, knowing she was right. The bitch, she got him with those few sentences.

"Exactly, I'm right and you know it. Now I know when something bothering you. It's easy to see, its kind of related to your beer mood. Slightly sulky and pissed, now tell me: Is what Kagome said earlier bugging you?"

Inuyasha said nothing for a moment. "Yes, its bugging the fuck out of me. Not one person has ever questioned why I do what I do. Aside from you and Miroku, which I easily ignored cause it was hypocritical of you two to criticize me. Cause you did the exact same damn thing. To hear it from someone else I hold a decent opinion of really…shook me up. Okay, happy? I just admitted I'm a little whining bitch who complains about everything." He crushed the beer can in his right hand and threw it across the room where it smacked against the wall with a thud. "Fucking stupid goddamn morals…"

"Its okay to question what you do Inuyasha. I know I did when I was part of it. So did Miroku, but know that what you did was a conscious choice. Half of the people we've killed deserved it anyway." Sango leaned back in her chair. "Well some of them anyway."

Inuyasha stood. " Ah whatever, I'm going for a run. You want to come? Your getting kinda pudgy from this lazy life style you've started." He smirked.

"I could still take you any day and you know it dog-boy don't try me!" Sango challenged back, slightly red in the face.

Inuyasha keh'ed but still had the smirk on. "I'll be back to take care of those bodies in an hour or so." He walked through the door leading out of the room.

Sango stood and went to follow Inuyasha through the door in order to find Miroku. But paused, and looked down at her stomach. "Am I really getting fat?"

Inuyasha walked out of the front door to the huge house. He stopped to take a deep breath. He loved being outdoors, in fact if it weren't easier to get plastered inside, he'd probably never go anywhere else but a forest somewhere. So, time to enjoy the strength he was granted being half demon. He loved running around jumping from rooftops to the ground and again in the opposite order. He stretched his leg muscles and was about to spring off when he caught a whiff of feminine scent. Not Sango's, with a second of thinking he determined it to be Kagome's. She was two stories above him on a balcony; he could see her leaning over the railing. She was probably trying to grasp what she had seen earlier. He didn't exactly try to shield her from the gore he created. He reprimanded himself the hell was he thinking? No matter, he could cheer her up really easily. He launched himself up to grasp the bottom of the balcony and heaved himself up to stand to her side. She was a bit startled but recovered quickly. "What do you want Inuyasha." Its what he thought, she didn't think very highly of him at the moment.

He knelt in front of her. "Get on, we're going for a ride."

She looked confused. "No, I want to be alone for awhile."

"Too damn bad woman, get on or I'll drag you off this balcony with me anyway." He spoke in a tone that sounded dead serious. Still no dice, Kagome looked resolute in her decision to be alone. But she didn't have a choice, Inuyasha however did. He stood quickly literally tripped her into his arms and jumped off the balcony. Her screams of surprise accompanying them all the way down.

A/N: Hm well, I did deliver on the length part, but on the better quality? I don't know, if it we're up to me everything I put out would be the best… :D
