Wai! Konbanwa, minna! Tis D.S. and Yash here. After how many hours of nothing Inuyasha-related updating, and getting annoyed with the sheer number of Harry Potter fanfics to read, we gave up and decided to write. This is a short (really short) chapter- filler actually, because Yash is too lazy to actually think of what to write for the period of time being passed in transaction between the two. And, as I look down at the paper, I see Yash's comment- "Hey, at least we're updatin'!" And I agree. Haha... God... alas, a warm day in March. We are so happy. (We all hate the cold...) Now, I hope you enjoy the sadly short filler chapter and not get angry at the way this is being steered. Oyasuminasai hitorinokorazu! 3/10/06

Disclaimer- Still don't own nobody. Except, once again, Yash's... unique personality. Plus- I'm afraid of Takahashi-senpai's ninjas.

No key.

Over the next few weeks they began, among other things, a sort of sign language for Inuyasha to use to speak to them.

The idea actually came from one of the textbooks Kagome had left behind. When she grabbed her bag, it was almost empty of everything usually inside.

Inuyasha was actually pretty enthusiastic about it- well, as much as his gruff image would allow. But, they couldn't blame him for being enthusiastic though. If they were in his position, they would be too. Soon, Inuyasha was able to 'talk' to them again, which was quite good. Oh- and Miroku did get him that promised pouch for pad and writing utensil. And, for once, he didn't con it off some poor trader!

They eventually gave up on trying to get through the Bone Eater's Well, realizing, to their saddened resignation, that Kagome wouldn't open it, not one will. And it was apparent that she would not, in fact open it.

Shippo and Inuyasha strangely grew closer. One might have thought that since Inuyasha drove his surrogate mother away, that they would hate each other. But no... Inuyasha... was affected as well. You only had to ask him a direct question to realize that, though the hanyo tried to hide it at first. But soon it became very apparent as to what was happening.

There was something wrong with Inuyasha. The rest of the Inu-gumi had begun to realize this very fact. They had begun to notice that, when you asked him a question, he would become almost... doll like, in a way. Even though it only happened sometimes, they soon stopped asking him direct questions. It was too eerie.

And with that, we continue the story.

Alright. This was finished 11/12/06, 8:34 pm, when the internet wasn't working. Yeah... November. GOMEN NASAI, MINNA! No- really. We are. We hadn't realized there was such a big time gap in between chapters. Hell, Cru was last updated in '05. But then... with that one, I have to change a character's (an OC's)- big time. He, my little friend Kwaki, is supposed to be a large, supporting character, yet he's treated as a simple lackey in the beginning. Big booboo. Sil? Don't get me started on dear Silence. There has to be so many changes... moans

But Wish? I'm just lazy. Oh. In my books, I'm actually, finally up to Part Two with Kagome! It's so hard! But then... maybe it's because I've never done Non-AU Kagome prior... Hm...We're so ashamed! But, never fear. 'Cause internets aren't working, we're starting Chapter #5 right now. If we have our way, they'll be put in at the same time. 'Til then, Ja!

-D.S. and Yash-san. 11/12/06, 8:45pm

Edit- Er, yeah. So they won't be put up at the same time. Eh... Gomen nasai, minna. I'll try to post soon, though. ; -11/17/06, day of recovered internets. 8:19pm
