When Inutashio had settled himself in the royal box, his musician, Myoga the crab, stood up and the music began.

Ah, we are the daughters of Inutashio

Great father who loves us and named us well

Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana

And then there is the youngest in his musical debut

Our seventh little brother, we're presenting him to you

To sing a song Myoga wrote, his voice is like a bell

He's our brother, Inuyashahhhh. *Gasping*

Inutashio felt himself swell with rage.

"INUYASHA!!!!!!"


Inuyasha swam quickly through the shipyard until he found the sunken ship he was looking for; he peered through the porthole and slid in.

"Inuyasha, I don't think we should be in here."

"Come on Shippo, don't be such a guppy, look at all of this amazing human stuff." Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the small flounder.

"Inuyasha, you're marrying a human. What more do you want?"

Inuyasha gave his friend a pitying look.

"Shippo, all Kagome wants to talk about is hair, make-up, and jewelry. She refuses to talk about the surface."

Inuyashas' ears drooped as he thought about his first love. When he had first laid his eyes on her he was smitten. She was a, beautiful, link to the dry world. But his love had quickly soured when he realized that as pretty as she was; Kagome was an airhead, plain and simple. So nowadays he tended to avoid her as much as possible, while Kagome was hanging off of him as much as she could.

Inuyasha shook himself out of his daydream and picked up another artifact. All of a sudden he heard a noise. Inuyasha turned and grabbed Shippo just as a humongous shark burst through the side of the ship. Inuyasha smirked and aimed his claws at the shark.

"Iron Rever Soul Stealer!!!" the arcs of light quickly turned the shark into a cloud of sliced shark sushi. Inuyasha knew that more sharks would be attracted to the blood, so he and Shippo high-tailed it out of there as fast as they could.


Inuyasha and Shippo surfaced a few yards away from a slumbering seagull and shared an evil look. They both took deep breaths and yelled.

"MIROKU!!!!!!!"

Miroku screamed and leaped into the air, landing in the water with a very ungraceful splash.

"Hey! You guys nearly gave me a heart attack!" he shouted.

Unfortunately for Miroku, Inuyasha and Shippo were too busy laughing to be scared of the angry bird.

"You should have seen your FACE!!!!" Inuyasha giggled. Miroku just glared at him.

"Well then, I guess you'll have to ask Kagome about all of your human junk from now on." That sobered them up real fast. Miroku smirked as they begged for forgiveness.

"Oh fine, where's the stuff?" Miroku held out a wing and Inuyasha dumped the small contents of his bag into it. Miroku picked up the pipe and started jumping around.

"Do you know what this is?! It's a snarfblatt! I haven't seen one in years. The humans use them to make beautiful music." To demonstrate Miroku put the pipe to his beak and started blowing, totally unaware of Inuyasha's horrified face.

"Music? Oh the concert! My father's gonna kill me!!!" Inuyasha grabbed the pipe and the stunned Shippo and raced back to Atlantica.


"Inuyasha, what do you think you were doing?!" Inutashio swam back and forth in his rage while Inuyasha hung his head. Shippo decided to stand up for his friend.

"It's not his fault!!" Shippo cowered as Inutashio turned on him.

"What I mean is….uh….you see there was this shark! Yeah! And then there was this seagull and he was all "this is this, and that is that-"

"Seagull?" Inutashio's fury was reignited, and Shippo hid behind Inuyasha as he was sent a withering glare.

"You went up to the surface again didn't you?! Didn't you?!"

"Father I-" Inuyasha tried to protest.

"Inuyasha you are betrothed and the law states that any other contact between the human world and the mer-world is strictly forbidden. Is that understood?! Inuyasha, How many times must we go through this? You could've been seen by one of those barbarians - by - by one of those humans!"

"Father, they're not barbarians! You mated one!" Inuyasha retorted.

"That was an exception. They're dangerous." Inutashio retorted right back. "Do you think I want to see my only son snared by some fish-eater's hook?"

"I'm sixteen years old - I'm not a child anymore!" Inuyasha cried out indignantly.

"Don't you take that tone of voice with me young man. As long as you live under my ocean, you'll obey my rules!" Inutashio shouted.

"But if you would just listen!" Inuyasha tried to reason but Inutashio was too far gone to listen.

"Not another word - and I am never, NEVER to hear of you going to the surface again. Is that clear?!"

Instead of screaming as he usually would have done, Inuyasha turned tail and swam away.
