Curiosity Isn't Always Best


"DAMMIT!" Inuyasha jerked away from the offending hands. He could feel them roaming all over his chest and back, not heeding to his quiet whimpers of discomfort. Pain shot through his body once again as fingers trailed over deep gouges. He let out a surprised yelp when they brushed over a particularly sensitive wound.


"Oh, would you quit being such a baby?!" Kagome groaned as she tried to simultaneously hold him down and clean and bandage the cuts and burns covering his torso.


Inuyasha glared at the girl sitting in front of him. "Will you quit poking at me? I do heal on my own you know!" Inuyasha huffed, batting away the hands again turning away. Kagome sighed in defeat putting her medical supplies into her backpack, it didn't look particularly big but it always seemed to accommodate their needs.


They had recently had another run-in with Sesshomaru and this time they came away with a bit more than a few scratches. He had done a number on all of them really and one didn't have to look close to tell either. For a reason none of them could put a finger on Sesshomaru seemed more agitated and aggressive than usual. His attacks where faster, more precise. It wasn't like he was angry, clouded by rage. More like, very concentrated on the task at hand, on inflicting as much pain as possible.


When it was all over they hadn't even the energy to move far from the battlefield. Instead the group just moved off to the side under a shady tree for shelter from the hot sun beating down on them.


Sango was also having multitasking trouble with Miroku, trying to tend to his injuries while avoiding his wandering hands. Tending to the males wounds was proving to be a straining task indeed.


oOo



Sesshomaru paced in his study. Today was the day. Yes, today was the day of his great fathers downfall. The fact was that he had been pacing for so long that when Jaken, who had left earlier in a awful rush, had commented on the fact that his lord might wear a hole straight through the floor.



Of course, the anniversary of his father's death wasn't the only thing bothering him. There was the other thing, the distant but ever-present memories of his time spent with the.....His thoughts trailed off as the demon lord shook his head, clearing it momentarily. No. No, he wouldn't dwell on such things, no good could possibly come of it. His encounter with his brother hadn't helped any either.


Sighing he stopped. "Jaken!" His servant entered quickly but out of breath, clearly he had been in a rush to answer his masters call. When he entered the imp bowed low. He knew his masters temper was wearing thin on this day, it always had been that way, ever since he could remember. On this very day Lord Sesshomaru would be unusually short tempered and spent most, if not all, of his time either in his chambers or in his study and would refuse any and all food or drink offered to him. He had better be careful.


" Y-yes Mi'lord?"


Sesshomaru looked at his oldest ward. " I will be retiring to my chambers for the night, you are to make sure Rin is properly bathed and in bed in an hour." He waited for the imp to nod his head before leaving to room and heading down the long somewhat darkened hall.


oOo


Inuyasha sighed contentedly as he leaned against the tree. With all their wounds seen to and full stomachs the group rested. Some drifting off to sleep while other simply pondered.


A loud crash sounding jared them all out of relaxation as a lightning bolt crashed to the ground. They looked up as large three eyed cow with an old man on it's back descended from the sky.


Inuyasha was the first to get up from his spot. "Hey, old man!" He called "As much as it pains me to say it, you know some stuff about some things. Now I'm gonna get straight to the point, what the hell is the matter with Sesshomaru today?"


Totosai looked at the gathering of people before him blankly. He knew what was wrong alright but he also knew that Sesshomaru was overwhelmingly likely to kill him if he told. " Inuyasha, I can't tell you anything about that I'm afraid. I don't know anything on the subject. Nope. Not a thing."


" I know you know so spit it out already!" Inuyasha advanced cracking his knuckles.


'Oh dear, what a situation I'm in now,' Totosai thought ' If I tell, I'll be killed for sure, if I don't.....' He scratched his head ' I'll still be killed.' Sighing he looked the group again making up his mind and resining him self to his fate.


" Come with me, I have something to show you."
