I was walking down the enormous hall on my way to the kitchen when Inuyasha suddenly pops up behind me…

"Hey! Where ya goin?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing I'm just a bit hungry so I was headed to the kitchen."

"Oh yeah? Me too, I've been tryin to figure out where the damn place is, knowing Sesshomaru, he probably doesn't even use it 'cause he always liked to eat his food raw…"

"Oh… say, Inuyasha, why don't you and your brother get along?" it was really bothering me…

"Well, it's because Sess has always been proud. He never lets anyone shame him in any way at all, and to him I was like a really bad prank pulled on the family with him being the ass end of it since Father died saving me. And on top of all that, he left me Tetsusaiga, and when Sess turned his Tensaiga into a weapon to fight with instead of just a simple healing sword, he finds out that it was also Father's will to hand those abilities over to me. But we actually get along now; it's really hard to take Sess seriously when he threatens me now, after we've fought side by side for those years. As a matter of fact where the hell were you? We could have used some of your abilities to scare that jackass Naraku to death…"

"Oh so he told you about me?"

"Damn straight. I wouldn't have stopped asking him until he told me. Remember, I'm the annoying little hanyou brother of his, my just being half human annoys him along with my presence, and my being related to "his glorious perfection" and I use that term very loosely."

"I'd appreciate if you held your tongue, Inuyasha…"

I wonder how long Sesshomaru had been standing there…

"Sorry but I tend to speak my mind at all times Sesshy-kun…"

How'd he know that? And now Sesshomaru was looking at us both with a majorly pissed expression…

"Geez Sessh, take a joke will ya? I was only kidding around, no need to plan a way to kill me, it's not like I'm gonna run through the place screaming "sesshy-kun"…"

"Hn…"

"Hey, Sesshomaru?"

"What is it?"

"I'm glad you finally found someone to put with your asininities that you could mate… I still don't know how Shisaku does it though but anyway that's good for her too."

"…" *imagine sesshy giving Inu a really blank stare*

"So Inuyasha, you mean to tell me that if I babied you in the past and if I were to approach you now in such a way, that you would accept it?"

"What? No!" Poor Inuyasha, Sesshomaru really knows how to turn your own words against you…

"Now that I think of it little brother, where is that strange mortal girl? And also, what happened to those beads that were around your neck?"

"Kagome left me. Once we did our part in killing Naraku, she told me that she simply couldn't bear to stay with me only to leave me in the near future. She told me that I'll always be her first love and hopefully in 500 years from her future, she won't be some weak mortal that will probably die of some withering disease and be an immortal being with me so we can see the future together. We split the beads, well mainly I gave them to her and just kept one, and even though they rendered me helpless against her they were what started our bond."

"She was smart, little brother. For your sake, I hope she is right however; her 500 years will be 1000 for us and hearts change over time…"

"I'm willing to wait it out…"

"You do that, Inuyasha."
